答案
I. 本文论述了沉重的书包给孩子身体所带来的危害。文章最后借用孩子的口吻发出了呼唤——取消家庭作业。
1．D。由后面的also fed up with (也饱受……之苦)选定。
2．D。not only ... but also系习惯搭配。
3．C。学生负担重，是一个人人皆知的现象，无需专家指出，故排除A，B，D三个选项。
4．A。of后是一个介词短语，故选非谓语动词being。
5．B。由副词up可排除另三个选项。
6．D。此处表示泛指，故用不定冠词，又由于eleven以元音开头，所以选择an。
7．D。这里的regular等于usual，意为“正常的，通常的”，背着书包上学，确实应视为“正常”现象。
8．C。使用带滚轮的书包是有悖于背书包上学这一正常现象的，前后意义在此形成转折。
9．A。上文已呈现过这一说法，此外，另三个选项不能与bus搭配。
10．B。根据even选定。
11．C。由主语中的much推定。
12．A no more than意为“仅仅”。not more than意为“不超过”，须后接一个固定值，10 to 15表示的是一个区间，数值并不固定，故排除B。
13．D。通过排除法选定。
14．B。stay表示“坚持，承受”。另三词后面不能用with。
15．C。beyond意为“超出”。前面已交代过学生背负的重量应在自己身体重量的10%至15%之间，即不能“超出”15%。
16．C。背着背包跌倒的原因就是身体“失去”平衡。
17．A。第18空后再现了take home这一说法，此外，另三个词是名词，不能作状语，所以应舍去。
18．B。这里讨论的是作业的“量”，而不是“质”，故选thin。
19．D。全文谈的是学生学习负担沉重的事，因此，由themselves，首先联想到的是kids。
20．A。根据全文意义和与否定词经常连用的特点选定at all。

A friend of mine met with an accident driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn’t move. What was the 1 was that he found himself unable to ask for help—his mobile phone went out of 2 as a result of exhausted battery. Nothing could be done but 3 in cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that day broke, and then the 4 of the rescue.
It is almost 5 that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his 6 : “First of all l checked up my 7 conditions and found myself not in fatal danger. As there was no 8 to call for help, I leaned back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from 9 . In this way I dozed off.”
His story put an end to my regret for the 10 of an exploration adventure that happened last year. A group of young men 11 to explore a mountain cave and got lost 12 to find a way out in the dark cave they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of 13 . Finally they fell dead in fear and exhaustion. According to the 14 people that found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the 15 of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to 16 themselves, they would probably sense a faint light shining not far away.
Don’t you think that you can compare it with 17 itself? When you meet with obstacles(障碍) in life and work, you are lost in the darkness. 18 you it’s unclear yet and you needn’t put up struggle 19 . It seems to be a negative attitude, 20 a person who can afford to do so must have foresight as well as a great courage in the first place.

The trees arrived by post, a half-open parcel. They were thin and straight, rather like arrows but with shiny leaves at one end and muddy roots at the other. Terry and his father took them down the garden and planted them in their prepared places. Terry bad great hopes of the middle tree, now set in the holy spot where Henry, his cat, run over, had been laid to rest a year before. The nine trees made an avenue down one side of the garden, where there was already a fifteen-foot stonewall between the garden and the back yards of the Jenkins Street houses.
“Why do we want a row of trees as well as a wall?” Terry asked his father.
His father said, “For privacy. These trees grow very thickly.”
His father’s love of privacy often puzzled Terry, who was not one to keep himself to himself, but he could see part of the point here. The houses in Jenkins Street were on higher ground. His friend Leslie lived in number twelve, and Leslie had only to stand on a box to see right over the wall.
“Will the trees grow higher than the wall?” Terry asked then.
“Oh yes, twice as high if not more. It’ll take a few years but they’ll grow.”
So they were going to have nine trees thirty feet tall, to keep them from being overlooked. Terry wondered why this was so desirable. He said, “Our garden is very pretty. Why can’t we let the people over the wall see it? That wouldn’t be showing off, would it?”
“No, I don’t think it would be,” his father said. “Yet some people might feel a bit less happy if they can always see a good thing that isn’t theirs. We don’t want to be the cause of any jealousy if we can help it.”
This consideration for other people’s feelings must be a grown-up thing. Terry thought. It was not his idea of how to run things. He said, “These trees it seems a lot of trouble to go to just to stop people being jealous of us.”
His father looked at him. “It isn’t much trouble, Terry,” he said. “These trees will grow without help from us. They’ll be beautiful. And listen to them. You can already hear them whispering to us in the wind.”
1. A How do we know that Terry’s father was expecting the trees?
A. He thought they would grow tall and thick.
B. He expected them because they arrived by post.
C. He and Terry had dug holes for them.
D. The parcel was half open, so he could see they were trees.
2. A We know from the passage that Terry’s father is a man who ___________.
A. was proud of his garden and liked showing it off
B. didn’t quite like his neighbors
C. preferred to keep his privacy
D. felt jealous of the people in Jenkins Street
3. A Why were the trees planted in front of the wall?
A. Because that was where they would grow faster.
B. To improve the appearance of the house.
C. To hide the ugly sight of Jenkins Street.
D. To stop people from looking inside.
4. B According to Terry’s father, the thing that might have made the neighbors feel less happy was_________.
A. the wall B. the thriving row of trees
C. the well - kept garden D. the privacy of

Should students make friends on line?
People hold different opinions on students’ making on-line friends.
Some people say yes. The internet helps make many friends. Chatting on line, students can more freely express their feelings and opinions, and even get help with their foreign language studies.
However, some people don’t think students should make friends on line. They say making friends on line is a waste of time, which should be spent more meaningfully on study. What’s worse, some students will even be cheated on line.
In my opinion, students should place their study, health and safety before other things. As for friendship, we can readily find it in our classmates and other people around us. (110 words)

She paid the driver and, using her hands to 1 the location of the seats, walked down the aisle and found the seat he’d told her was 2 . Then she settled in, 3 her briefcase on her lap and rested her cane against her leg.
It had been a year since Susan, 34, became 4 . Due to a medical misdiagnosis, she was suddenly 5 into a world of darkness, anger, frustration and self-pity.

Mark taught her how to rely on her other 11 , specifically her hearing, to determine where she was and how to 12 to her new environment. Monday morning arrived, they went their 13 ways for the first time.
On Friday morning, Susan took the bus to work as usual. As she was paying, the driver said, “I sure do 14 you.” Curiously, she asked the driver, “Why do you say that you envy me?”
The driver responded, “It must feel 15 to be taken care of and protected like you are.” “What do you mean?” she asked.
The driver answered, “You know, every morning for the past week, a fine-looking gentleman in a military uniform has been 16 across the corner watching you as you get off the bus. He makes sure you cross the street 17 and he watches until you enter your office building. Then he blows you a kiss, gives you a little salute and walks away.” Tears of happiness poured down Susan’s cheeks. For 18 she couldn’t physically see him, she had always felt Mark’s presence.

IV. One possible version:
Nowadays high school students hold different opinions about after-class activities.
Some think taking an active part in various school activities can broaden their horizon and enrich their knowledge. So they often have sports, make lots of friends mad so on.
However, others prefer to spend almost all their time on studies and seldom participate in school activities. They think it a waste of the valuable time at school.
In my opinion, as a student, our main task is to study and we should spend most of our time studying. At the same time, we should also take part in some after-class activities so as to learn what we can’t learn from books. What’s more, we can make lot of new friends and learn how to get along well with others. So I think such a school life is healthy and will be beneficial to our future studies and work.

(B)
Looking back on my childhood, I realize that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were all brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon gave up their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic(算术).
Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the unclear memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have clear memory of the dogs, the farm animals, the local birds, and above all, the insects.
I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world and my eagerness has led me into varied studies or research. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other people’s observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my sensible mind. Suddenly you imagine you see the answer to the puzzling question, because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some might honor with the title of scientific research.
But curiously, a sharp eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant worlds do not make a scientist. One of the best-known and important qualities required is self-training , a quality I lack (缺乏) . A scientist requires not only self-discipline but hard training, determination and a goal. A scientist, up to a point, can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both.
60. The first paragraph tells us the author ________.
A. was interested in flowers and insects in his childhood
B. lost his hearing when he was a child
C. didn’t like his brothers and sisters
D. was born to a naturalist’s family
61. The author can’t remember his relatives clearly because _______.
A. he didn’t live very long with them B. the family was extremely large
C. he was too young when he lived with them D. he was fully busy observing nature
62. It can be inferred from the passage that the author was ________.
A. a socialist as well as a naturalist B. a naturalist as well as a scientist
C. only a born naturalist D. first of all a scientist
63. The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he__.
A. has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmetic
B. lacks some of the qualities required of a scientist
C. just reads about other people’s observations and discoveries
D. comes up with answers in a most natural way
(C)
A “ blogger” is a person who writes on an Internet computer Web site called a “ blog”. The word “blog” is a short way of saying Web log or personal Web site. Anyone can start a blog, and they can write about anything they like.
There are millions of blogs on the Interact today. They provide news, information and ideas to many people who read them. They contain links to other Web sites. And they provide a place for people to write their ideas and react to the ideas of others .
A research company called Perseus has studied more than 3000 Web logs. It says that blogs are most popular with teenage girls. They use them to let their friends know what is happening in their lives .The study also says that more than 100,000 bloggers stopped taking art in the activity after a year.
However, some people develop serious blogs to present political and other ideas. For example, the Republican and Democratic parties in the southern state of Kentucky recently started their own blogs. And American companies are beginning to use blogs to advertise their products.
At the same time, some long-standing blogs have ended. Last week, blogging leader Dave Winer closed his free blog service, weblogs.com. He says the site became too costly to continue. He started the blog four years ago, and thousands of people had written on it. They are now upset because they did not know that the site was closing.
One blog that is still going strong is called Rebecca’s Pocket. Rebecca Blood created the Web site in 1999. She wrote about the history of blogs on the site. That article led to a book called “The Weblog Handbook”. It has been translated into four languages so far.
Ms Blood says Rebecca’s Pocket gets about 30,000 visitors a month. She writes about anything and everything—politics, culture and movies. She recently provided medical advice. And she wrote about how to prevent people from stealing money from on-line bank accounts.
64. The text is mainly written to ________.
A. introduce an Internet computer Web site called “blog”
B. introduce a short way of saying web bog
C. tell readers about blogs
D. tell readers how to write blogs
65. From the text we can learn that blogs cover almost everything except _______.
A. different ideas B. medical advice C. advertisements D. account passwords
66. The reason why Rebecca’s Pocket is still going strong is that _______.
A. it was created by a woman
B. it is about the history of blogs
C. it provides useful information and advice
D. it has editions in at least four different languages

Learning money management
When 12-year-old Hayley Flomen received a generous amount of cash for her birthday, she knew exactly what she wanted to buy: a pair of Lulu Lemon pants that her mom wouldn’t buy because they were too expensive.
“We went to the store together,” remembers Hayley’s mom, Andrea, “and she changed her mind. When it was her own money, she felt they were too expensive, after all.”
That story pretty much sums up why young teens should have some cash of their own — not for lunch or movies , but money to do with as they see fit. Because you don’t really understand what it means to pay $100 for a pair of pants, until it’s your $100.
“Kids get excited about receiving money because it gives them the opportunity to make their own purchasing decisions,” confirms Jeannie Stamkos, branch manager of the Yonge and Eglinton CIBC in Toronto. “Young teens have a heightened interest in money, which means there is a need for parents to educate them.”
A weekly or monthly allowance is a common way to give kids ongoing experience with handling money. But Stamkos has other suggestions:
Help them plan. “ If there’s a big-ticket item your child wants,” says Stamkos , “ help him figure out how long it will take to save for that , based on the allowance he’s being given and how much he can put aside each week.”
Help them earn. Point out opportunities kids might have to earn extra dollars, whether through odd jobs at home, babysitting or a paper route.
67. The reason why mother and daughter gave up buying the pants is that ________.
A. they didn’t have enough money B. the pants are expensive
C. the pants were sold out D. they chose a cheap pair
68. According to the writer children should be given some money ______.
A. in case they want to buy clothes B. when they are with friends
C. to decide to buy something they think fit D. when they go out eating
69. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. If a teen has a strong interest in money, he is sure to be able to handle money
B. The writer agrees that children may earn money by doing housework
C. Children are excited to have their own money because they can make decisions on their own.
D. Allowance can be given to children weekly or monthly.
70. What does the underlined phrase “a big-ticket-item” mean?
A. An item that costs much B. An item that needs little money
C. Something that is cheap D. Something that needs a lot of time
71.We can infer (推断) from the passage that _________.
A. mother will buy the 100-dollar pants without using her daughter’s cash.
B. Flomen doesn’t feel sad though she didn’t buy the pants she had been longing for
C. Flomen would feel excited if she bought the expensive pants with her gift money
D. Flomen would never have cash gift if she buys the pants with it this time

Barbara was driving her six-year-old son, Benjamin, to his piano lesson. They were late, and Barbara was beginning to think she should have canceled it.
There was always so much to do , and Barbara, a night-duty nurse at the local hospital , had recently worked extra shifts (加班). She was tired. The sleet (雨夹雪) storm and icy roads added to her tension . Maybe she should turn the car around.
“Mom!” Ben cried, “Look!”
Just ahead a car had lost control on a patch of ice. As Barbara tapped the brakes, the other car spun wildly, rolled over, and then crashed sideways into a telephone pole.
Barbara pulled over, stopped her car and threw open the door. Thank goodness she was a nurse — she might be able to help these unfortunate passengers . Then she paused. What about Ben? She couldn’t take him with her—little boys shouldn’t see scenes like the one she anticipated. She asked Ben to stay in the car.
Two girls of high school age were in the car that crashed. One, on the passenger side, was dead. The driver, however, was still breathing.
Barbara quickly applied pressure to the wound in the teenager’s head while her practiced eye cataloged the other injuries ; a broken leg, maybe two , along with probable internal bleeding (内出血) . But if help came soon, the girl would live.
A trucker had pulled up and was calling for help on his mobile phone. Soon Barbara heard the ambulance sirens. A few moments later she surrendered her lonely post to rescue workers.
But as Barbara walked back to her car a feeling of sadness overwhelmed her, especially for the family of the girl who had died. Their lives would never be the same. Oh God, why do such things have to happen?
Slowly Barbara opened her car door. What should she tell Benjamin? He was staring at the crash site, his blue eyes huge.
“Mom,” he whispered, “did you see it?”
“See what, Honey?” she asked.
“The angel, Mom!” He came down from the sky while you were running to the car. And he opened the door, and he took that girl out.”
Barbara’s eyes filled with tears. “Which door, Ben?”
“The passenger side. He took the girl’s hand, and they floated up to Heaven together.”
“What about the driver?”
Ben shrugged, “I didn’t see anyone else.”
Later Barbara was able to meet the families of the victims. They expressed their gratitude for the help she had provided. Barbara was able to give them something more: Ben’s vision.
72. The reason that Barbara began to think about canceling her son’s piano lesson was that ____.
A. she was tired from work B. the road is icy
C. an accident had happened D. Both A and B
73. Barbara asked her son to stay in the car because _______.
A. it was too cold outside
B. she would be back in a minute
C .she wouldn’t like her little son to see such a terrible scene
D. her son could be in the way
74. What does the underlined word” practiced” mean in the passage?
A. Bright B. Experienced C. Tired D. Clever
75. We can infer from the text that _________.
A. the families of the victims thanked Barbara
B. Barbara felt a little comfortable because her son saw little of the accident
C. Barbara didn’t give first aid until the ambulance came
D. the girl on the passenger side was taken away by angel

On the other hand, 30% sometimes accuse companies of misleading them by using ads. In fact, in order to get their message across, many truthful advertisers are working hard both to promote a product and to make people know about social problems and government policies.
In others’ opinion, only if we are careful with ads and learn to analyze them may we be able to protect ourselves from false ads and make good decisions. (108 words)

With the development of science and technology, people have more spare time. But how do we spend the free time? I prefer to go outdoors and spend my free time in some different places
and with some different people.
The first reason for outdoor activities is that I have spent too much time indoors. Most of the time I sit in the classroom, listening to the teachers and doing my exercises. The outdoor activities are too limited. Fresh air, sunlight and enough physical exercises are needed for a healthy body. So when I am free, I should go out. The second reason is that I Want to have more experience in my life. When you go out, far away from your daily life, you will meet a lot of people who are quite different from you. It will give you a lot of exciting experience.
However, outdoor activities will take a lot of money and energy. So if you have not prepared enough, having some amusement indoors is also a good choice, which may be much cheaper and easier to carry out. Reading some books and enjoying music are also very good.

(A) (2006年山东高考题)
Increasingly, Americans are becoming their own doctors, by going online to diagnose their symptoms, order home health tests or medical devices, or even self-treat their illnesses with drugs from Internet pharmacies (药店). Some avoid doctors because of the high cost of medical care, especially if they lack health insurance. Or they may stay because they find it embarrassing to discuss their weight, alcohol consumption or couch potato habits. Patients may also fear what they might learn about their health, or they distrust physicians because of negative experiences in the past. But playing doctor can also be a deadly game.
Every day, more than six million Americans turn to the Internet for medical answers — and most of them aren’t nearly skeptical enough of what they find. A 2002 survey by the Pew Internet & American Life Project found that 72 percent of those surveyed believe all or most of what they read on health websites. They shouldn’t. Look up “headache”, and the chances of finding reliable and complete information, free from a motivation for commercial gain, are only one in ten, reports an April 2005 Brown Medical School study. Of the 169 websites the researchers rated, only 16 scored as “high quality”. Recent studies found faulty facts about all sorts of other disorders, causing one research team to warn that a large amount of incomplete, inaccurate and even dangerous information exists on the Internet.
The problem is most people don’t know the safe way to surf the Web. “They use a search engine like Google, get 18 trillion choices and start clicking. But that’s risky, because almost anybody can put up a site that looks authoritative (权威的), so it’d hard to know if what you’re reading is reasonable or not,” says Dr. Sarah Bass from the National Cancer Institute.
1. A According to the text, an increasing number of American ____________.
A. are suffering from mental disorders B. turn to Internet pharmacies for help
C. like to play deadly games with doctors D. are skeptical about surfing medical websites
2. A Some Americans stay away from doctors because they _____________.
A. find medical devices easy to operate B. prefer to be diagnosed online by doctors
C. are afraid to face the truth of their health D. are afraid to misuse their health insurance
3. B According to the study of Brown Medical School, ______________.
A. more than 6 million Americans distrust doctors
B. only 1/10 of medical websites aim to make a profit
C. about 1/10 of the websites surveyed are of high quality
D.72% of health websites offer incomplete and faulty facts
4. B Which of the following is the author’s main argument?
A. It’s cheap to self-treat your own illness.
B. It’s embarrassing to discuss your bad habits.
C. It’s reasonable to put up a medical website.
D. It’s dangerous to be your own doctor.
(B)
Grandparents who live far away from grandchildren are not always able to dote (溺爱) and praise the way they wish they could. However, in this information age, many grandparents and grandchildren are developing a close relationship even while living thousands of apart.
Christine Bowler, of Higley, had a brilliant idea to keep her mother informed of every one of 18-month-old Jake’s milestones. For Mother’s Day last year, for $10, Christine added here mom to their phone plan. They even threw in a free camera phone. Since they were "in network," they can talk, text, and send pictures as often as they like.
Now, if Jake is doing something uncontrolled, Christine takes a picture and sends it to her mom’s phone, then calls to talk about how much he is changing.
With parents in Canada, a cell phone is the main way Erin Porter, of Gilbert, keeps her daughter in touch with grandparents. But, she also loves showing Julie the gifts her grandparents have made, for example, paintings. Julie, who is almost 2, knows these gifts are from grandparents who love her, and Erin tells her about them as they use the gifts and look at photos of family members far away.
The Philippines sure seems like a long way away, but the LeSueurs of Gilbert have found a way to keep their grandparents close—they bought a Web-cam. This way her kids, Sage, 3, and Cason, 2, can see and talk, for free, to their grandparents. “It is so fun to watch them sing and dance, often in their favorite clothes, and know Granny and Daddy are getting to really see their personalities, even thousands of miles away,” Ashlee said.
When you first move away from family, keeping in touch and creating strong relationships may seem difficult, but with a little work and a lot of Jove, grandparents don’t feel so far away.
5. A What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Grandparents’ relationships with grandchildren are changing.
B. Telephone, Internet technology keeps grandparents closer.
C. High technology is important in doing with the relationships.
D. We should care more about the children.
6. B The underlined word “personalities” ( in Paragraph 5) refers to __________.
A. Granny and Daddy B. the LeSueurs
C. Cason’s grandparents D. Sage and Cason
7. A How many families does the passage mention?
A. Three. B. Two. C. Four. D. Five.
8. A According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A. Erin Porter often informs her father using a cell phone.
B. Jake is often seen to dance through a free camera phone.
C. The Philippines don’t seem to like using the Internet.
D. The LeSueurs hired a Web-cam from one of their friends.
答案
I. 1. affairs 2. frequency 3. Statistics 4. appearance 5. popularity
6. analyzed 7. drawbacks / disadvantages 8. inaccuracy 9. moreover / besides 10. advanced/ promoted
II. DCDAC BCDBA CDABC
III. 1. The educational system was in need of reform.
2. You can always turn to me for help.

IV. 阅读理解 (每题3分，共24分)
(A)
At dawn on January 17, 1995, the city of Kobe was rocked by earthquake tremors. The worst tremors reach 7.2 on the Richter scale. Kobe is Japan’s sixth largest city. It is also one of the world’s largest ports. Within minutes, Kobe was a disaster area.
How bad was the damage? The earthquake was the worst to hit Japan in 72 years. There were more than 6,000 people dead. More than 35,000 were injured, and nearly 310,000 were left homeless. Some 75,000 buildings were damaged or destroyed. Total damage was estimated at $90 billion.
Were the Japanese prepared for earthquakes? They thought they were. They were expecting a big earthquake to strike one of their major cities. But they did not know when, where, or how big the earthquake would be. Architects and engineers believed they had designed earthquake-proof buildings, transportation, and public services. Kobe’s few minutes of earth tremors shattered that belief.
What did people learn from the Kobe earthquake? What happened in Kobe suggests that earthquake hazard was not taken seriously enough. Some people believe that more can be done to reduce damage. They propose the following. More work should be put into quake-proof buildings. Walls should be built to protect towns on the coast from large waves. Providers of emergency services must be better trained and better prepared. Citizens must be better educated on what to do when an earthquake strikes.
The major barrier to doing more is cost. Japan finds itself trying balance the cost against the risk of a strong earthquake.
1. B Which sentence best tells what this passage says?
A. Cities can be made earthquake proof.
B. More can be done to reduce the damage of earthquake.
C. Earthquakes always cause serious damage.
D. Nothing can be done to reduce the damage of earthquake.
2. A How many people died in the Kobe earthquake?
A. More than 6,000. B. At least 100,000 C. Nearly 31,0000. D. 75,000.
3. A What is the major difficulty in doing more to reduce the earthquake damage?
A. People are not given enough training. B. Engineers do not have the knowledge.
C. Protection is too costly at present. D. No one takes earthquakes seriously.
4. B “Tremors” probably means “________”.
A. earthquake-proof buildings B. shaking movements
C. heavy thunderstorms D. natural disasters

1．A。feel“感觉，感到”，后需跟形容词做表语。living“活着的”，live“活的，现场直播的”，lovely“可爱的”，都不符合题意，而lively“快活的，热闹的，生动的，活泼的”，符合题意，所以选A。
2．C。feel后接形容词时，无法再接that宾语从句，排除A、B项，D项的意思是与题意不符。strongly在此是副词，修饰谓语动词feel表示“强烈地感觉到……”。
3．D keep calm的意思是“保持镇定”。
4．C。“couldn’t feel worse”意为“感觉不能再差”即“感觉非常差”。
5．B。表示推测。排除A、C，因为A、C用的是过去时，而D项will be和后面的going to重复，故选B。
6．B。since + 一般过去式出现时，主语一般用现在完成时态。
7．A。suggest“暗示着，意味着”．此句意为“东边天空发白，预示着这场暴雨很快就会过去”。
8．B。touch意为“触摸”，hand意为“传递、递给”，sense意为“感觉”。凭语意要求，排除C、D两项。feel明显比touch要好，feel表由触、摸而感知，touch则更强调动作，故选B。
9．D。make意为“有素质成为，有望成为”；turn表示“成为，变成”时，后面的名词不加冠词，change不可表示身份的变化，elect“选举”是及物动词，“某人被选为班长”，应表达为sb. is elected monitor。
10．A。句意：一个缺乏学习能力和毅力的人不可能成为一个好的研究者。尽管BCD三个选项中的动词都有“变得”的意思，但都不符合题意。只有A项中的make有“成为”之意，符合语境。
11．D。答句为“That sounds good.”的省略。
12．B。ABC均有“变成”之意。但当谈论按照时间顺序依次发生的变化时用turn，并且此时的turn不是连系动词，而是及物动词，，意为“超过”。句意是：你现在已经21岁了。
13．A。get changed意为“更换衣服”，而get changing意为“使变化，在变化”，不合题意。get to change意为“逐渐变化”，也不合题意。
14．D。go表示“转变，转换”。
15．A。feel感到，接动词原形作宾语补足语。

IV. 阅读理解（每题5分，共20分）
When the musical sound rings out, you immediately reach for your pocket ready to have a chat. But although you probably use it all the time, have you ever stopped to think about the manners related to talking on the phone? If you haven’t, here are some tips to guide you.
●Always give the person you are calling plenty of time to get to the phone before you hang up. If the person who answers is not the one you want, give your name and ask if you may speak to the person you want.
●Think about the time you call people. Try not to call too early in the morning (before about 9:00)or too late at night(after about 9:30). Also try not to call at mealtimes.
●If you go by plane to visit your relatives at Christmas, remember to follow airline instructions. Cell phones must be turned off as soon as the plane doors are closed and remain so until the doors open again on arrival.
●When face to face with someone, do not talk on the phone. It is rude to be on the phone when a waiter is trying to take your order in a restaurant, or when you are returning the shoes you have just been trying on in a shop. Finish any face-to-face business before taking a call. Continuing to use the phone while nodding to the person in front of you is quite impolite.
●When in a restaurant with your friends, keep phone conversations short. Make a call only if it is important, Practise speaking in a low voice. If no one looks your way, you’ve got it.
●If you go to a theatre, a concert or a cinema, consider the other people around you. Check that your phone is “off” before you enter. If you are expecting a very important call, put your phone on “vibrate” (振动)and run for the exit as soon as you feel it. If you forget both “off” and “vibrate” and your phone rings, don’t answer it, turn it off straight away.
1. A Which is TRUE according to the passage above?
A. You may call people anytime as you like.
B. You may talk loudly on the phone at dinner in the restaurant.
C. You may keep on talking on the phone while greeting somebody.
D. You may call people as soon as you get on the plane, but not after the doors are closed.
2. B We may infer from these tips that__________.
A. some people don’t pay much attention to manners while making cell phone calls
B. you may ask to leave a message unless the person you are calling is in
C. calling people too early or too late in the morning is not polite
D. almost everyone has got a cell phone
3. A What does the underlined sentence “…you’ve got it” in paragraph 6 mean?

B. You have made the phone call brief and interesting.

D. You have made a phone call secretly.
4. B From the tips given above, we can decide the writer is sure to share the opinion that______.
A. like the saying “clothes make a man”, nowadays cell phones make a man
B. as the old saying goes, money talks; nowadays cell phones talk
C. the way we use the cell phones tells what we are like

(A)
I was working as a consultant (顾问) in a beer company. My work was to help the president and senior vice-presidents make and carry out their new strategic ideas. It was a big challenge, and I must work very hard. At the same time, my mother was in the final stages of cancer.
I worked during the day and drove 40 miles home to be with her every night. It was tiring and stressful, but it was what I wanted to do. My promise was to continue to do excellent consulting work during the days in the company, even though my evenings were very hard. I didn’t want to bother the president with my situation, but I felt that someone in the company needed to know what was going on if I could not leave my mother at home someday. So I told the vice-president of Human Resources the truth, and asked him not to share the information with anyone else in the company.
A few days later, the president called me into his office. I thought that he wanted to talk with me about one of the many issues we were working on those days. When I entered, he asked me to sit down. He faced me from across his desk, looked me in the eye, and said, “I hear that your mother is very ill.”
I was totally caught by surprise and burst into tears because I was really very tired. He just looked at me, let me cry, and then gently said a sentence that I would never forget, “Whatever you need, please let me know.”
That was it. I believe that what comes from the heart goes to the heart. The president’s understanding and his willingness to let me be in my pain and offer me everything are qualities of compassion (同情) that I have carried with me to this day and to the rest of my life.
1. A How did the president know that the writer’s mother was ill?
A. The writer told him the truth.
B. He heard it from the vice-president of Human Resources.
C. He read it in a newspaper.
D. He was just guessing at the reason for the writer’s tiredness.
2.B Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The writer was too tired to go on with her work.
B. The writer didn’t want anyone in her company to know her trouble.
C. The writer felt tired and stressed. She continued to do excellent consulting work, though.
D. The president let the writer go home to look after her mother all day long.
3. A What is the topic sentence in this passage?
A. I was working as a consultant in a beer company.
B. I told the vice - president of Human Resources the truth.
C. “I hear that your mother is very ill.”
D. “Whatever you need, please let me know.”
4. B The underlined words “in the final stages of cancer” in the first paragraph probably mean _________.
A. in the last period of her life because of cancer
B. acting as a patient with cancer
C. working in a theatre
D. in hospital because she was suspected of having cancer
(B)
Being considered a leader in our society is indeed of high praise. Leadership means power, commands respect and, most important, encourages achievement. Unlike vitamin C, leadership skills can’t be easily swallowed down. They must be carefully cultivated.
Different from popular belief, most good leaders are made, not born. They learn their skills in their everyday lives. But which do they develop? How do they (and how can you) get others to follow?
Always give credit. Many leaders note that the most efficient way to get a good performance from others is to treat them like heroes. Giving public credit to someone who has earned it is the best leadership technique in the world. It is also an act of generosity that’s never forgotten.
Giving credit is more effective than even the most constructive criticism, which often hurts rather than helps. Kenneth Blanchard, the author of The One-Minute Manager, agrees. “Catch people doing something right!” he says. Then tell everyone about it.
Take informed risks. “The best leaders know that taking a risk is not a thoughtless exercise,” says management adviser Marilyn Machlowitz. “Sky divers don’t go up in an airplane without checking the parachutes beforehand.”
Because the idea of risk also carries with it the possibility of failure, many of us usually wait for others to take charge. But if you want to be a leader, you must learn to fail-and not die a thousand deaths. Pick yourself up and start all over again.
Encourage enthusiasm. “When people understand the importance of work, they lend their mental strengths,” says Lee Ducat. But when they get excited about the work, all their energy gets poured into the job. That’s a great force! Is this the best way to create excitement? Be enthusiastic yourself — You will be followed by everyone.
5. B The underlined word “cultivated” (paragraph 1) roughly mean _____________.
A. encouraged B. compared C. examined D. developed
6. A The part “Always give credit” tells us that a leader should ______________.
A. give helpful criticism B. regard others as real heroes
C. praise people for their good performances D. praise everyone
7. A To be a good leader, you should _________________.
A. not be afraid of any risks B. think twice before taking risks
C. try to avoid any possible failures D. know what a thoughtless exercise is
8. B Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Leadership Is of Skills and Techniques B. Leadership Is Very Important
C. Not Many Can Be Leaders D. How to Be a Leader

Dear Editor,
I am writing to tell you my opinion about the problem that the children are leaving school at an early age.
In the countryside a lot of children are leaving school at an early age for various reasons. Some have to leave school because their families are too poor to pay for their education. Some find difficulties in study. Some have to help their parents to earn money. And some simply do not like studying. But the main reason that the children can not finish school is the poor living conditions of their families.
I think every child has the chance to receive education. As a student I can’t do much about it. but I would try my best and now, I would like to give them all my pocket money and hope it will help some children.
Yours,
Li Hua

Losing a parent can be particularly tough when it’s a daughter who has lost her mother, says Hope Edelman, author of Motherless Daughters: Legacy of Loss. A Harvard study found that girls who have lost their mothers have a harder time coping (应付) than any other parent—child combination.
“They are left feeling as if there is a huge hole in their world,” she says. “A surprising number of women who lost their mothers in adolescence (青春期) said it takes seven years to recover .... With women, it often catches up with them in their mid-20s, if they haven’t done any work.”
Raap was 34 when her mother died. Nine years later after her mother’s death, she felt forced to sit in front of a computer and begin writing the first in a series of letters. It was Christmastime, and Raap had been looking at her decorated tree, branches heavy with ornaments her mother had made. She started her letters simply: “Thank you for the ornaments and traditions, Mom. They make my Christmas special.”
“It felt so good,” Raap says, as she recalls that first burst of remembering and writing. “Then everything in my memory gave me the desire to write to Mom.”
Raap, now 49 and an author, describes the process as narrative healing. Anything and everything could spark a memory. Raap would write and cry, cry and write. There was the first birthday card she received that was signed simply “Dad.” A musical concert by an inexperienced daughter and friends. A snowstorm covering the Rasp family home in Cheyenne, Wyo.
Then, suddenly, that part of the healing ended. She had found peace with her mother’s death.

1. A。[译文]据说我们正生活在信息时代，一个充满新的发现和巨大变化的时代。
[解析]本题考查冠词的用法。第一个空表示特指，而第二个空表示泛指，与上句构成同位关系。
2. D。[译文]许多在这个小镇上拍摄的电影很有名,这使得小镇变成了游客向往的地方。
[解析]本题考查非谓语动词的用法。拍摄电影这个动作自然先于“出名”，因此要使用完成时态，-ing分词充当状语时常用在句首，并用逗号隔开。所以只有D项正确。eg. The book is said to have been translated into English.据说这本书已经被翻译成英语。
3. C。[译文]她给我又提出一条建议，我认为这对我的研究工作很有帮助。[解析]考查非限制性定语从句。“I think”是插入语放在引导词后。which充当主语。
4. A。[译文]懂得其他国家的文化习俗很困难，特别是像美国那样有多种文化的某一个国家。[解析]one指代可数名词，本句中“one”作nation的同位语，泛指像美国那样有多种文化的某一个国家。
5. A。 [译文]因为他决定培养女儿英语，所以就在报纸上登这样一则广告，“招一位英语老师，教十岁女孩”[解析]考查非谓语动词。第一空相当于Because he was determined to…，第二空是A teacher is wanted的省略。
6. C。[译文] 简尽力保持平静的外表，但她颤抖的声音无意中泄了密。[解析]考查动词短语。A give in让步，投降，一般用作give in to sb.；B give out发出，放出，分配，用完，耗尽；C give away捐赠，无意中透露；D give up放弃，中止。
7. A。[译文] ——嗨，凯林，新年愉快！你假期过的怎样？——还行吧，我祖母在家不停地烧菜，我就不停地吃。[解析] 通过后面的答语可以看出对方所问的是：你假期过的怎样？B项是问你的奶奶，C项是问假期的去处，D项是问你假期都做些什么事。三者与后面的答语不符合。所以选A。
8. C。[译文]尽管最近已经采取了许多措施给人们提供更多的公交车，但公交车辆的缺乏仍是个严峻的问题。[解析]what引导的是名词性从句，相当于名词或名词性短语，不可放在though后，但可放在in spite of后。
9. D。[译文]政府已经采取措施来解决电力短缺问题，但要解决这一问题还需一段时间。[解析]Before表示在一段时间之前。所以本题选D。
10. C。[译文]不管是轿车、公共汽车还是卡车，规定要求每个司机应该每年被检查两次。[解析]注意本题的结构。通过分析可以得知，本题中缺少的是主语，再者，司机应该是每年被检查两次，having been done的形式不能做主语只能作状语。所以本题选C。
11. B。[译文] ——来点什么？咖啡、茶、桔汁、冰水……？——我不在乎，什么都可以。[解析] 本题考查情景交际。选项A、D不能回答前者提出的问题，答非所问；选项C中的None of my business.（不管我的事）太粗鲁；选项B（我不在乎，什么都可以）正符合语境意义。
12. D。[译文]太平洋地区将是21世纪世界上经济发展最快的地区之一，这一点现在是毫无疑问的。[解析]此题考查的是句型的变化形式。注意其基本形式是There be句式，本题在中间加上了shouldn’t。所以本题选D。
13. A。[译文]我一直连续工作了三个小时，突然感到生病。[解析]本题考查时态的用法。分析本句情境提供的语境此处应用过去的某种时态，故排除C、D；再由for three hours可知此处最好用完成时态，A项（过去完成进行时）正符合这一句意。
14. C。[译文] 如果你住在乡村，或曾经到过那儿，你就有可能听到小鸟歌唱来迎接每一天。[解析]本意考查名词语意的选择。在此处chances的意思为“有……的可能”。
15. A。[译文] “我当时本可以告诉你(could have told you)，但我想你不会听我的话”。[解析]本题考查情态动词的用法。英语中常用could/should/ought to have done这一结构表示 “本可以做/本应该做而事实上没有做”。

A篇篇文章主要就是介绍了Raap是如何艰难遣从母亲逝世的阴影中走出来的。
1．B。由整篇文章可知，应该是她对母亲的怀念。
2．D。由文章的第三段的第三句 It was Christmastime, and Raap had been looking at her decorated tree，branches heavy with ornaments her mother had made.可知。
3．A。既然她对母亲有如此深的记忆与难忘，当然是关系不错，相处融洽。
4．B。本篇文章主要就是介绍了Raap是如何艰难地从母亲逝世的阴影中走出来的。
B篇主要讲述了一位父亲为了打破常规的给儿子命名的方式，采用类似于电脑软件的升级版本。
5．C。由文章第一段的第二句和文章第二段的第一句可知。
6．A。由文章第一段的 the US traditional way of adding “Junior” or “Ⅱ” after a boy’s name was too common可知。
7．B。由文章第一段可知，“Junior” 和“Ⅱ”是比较传统的命名方式。因此，对于“1900” 和 “2.0” 就是非传统形式的命名方式。
8．B。由文章的第二段可知，他想把他儿子的名字命名为Version 2.0。因此Version l.0很明显就是指孩子的父母。但是，这句话的意思是“有很多来自于第一版本的新的特征，除了来自于Jamie(他的妻子)的”。因此，Version l.0就只能指Mr. Cusack了。
