Days later when the curtain was drawn, I saw this 31 old man for the first time. 32 his own ill health, he continued to coach me from his hospital bed in the days that followed.
My discharge papers (出院证明) were finally signed and I waited 33 to get home. As I was wheeled out of the room, I said my final goodbye to the old man.
I often think of my exceptional roommate and of what a(n) 34 he was to me. The effect he made during those difficult days in hospital still 35 .

It was the middle of winter some 30 years ago. I was a young father with three little children counting on me. I worked in a sawmill (锯木厂).
As I got ready to go to work I wrapped band aids around my fingers and put more in my pockets. Cutting and piling up wood for eight hours a day had caused my fingers to split (裂开) and bleed at their tips in the cold, dry winter air.
That day at work was harder than normal. We were short-handed on workers. The machines kept breaking down. We had to rush to catch up as the wood piled up. On top of that, all the heaters in the building had stopped working and we could see our breath as we spent hours working there.
When the work day finally ended, I walked wearily toward the washroom, took off my work gloves, and checked my aching fingers. The splits were worse than ever and I had bled through the band - aids again. I felt so tired. I wondered how long I could keep doing this, if things would ever get any better, and why life was so hard.
After driving home, I tried to put a smile on my face as I opened the front door. But instead, one appeared naturally. My daughter ran up to me, yelled “Daddy!” and wrapped her little arms around my neck. I lifted her up and my heart filled with love. My tired body didn’t feel so tired anymore. My aches and pains disappeared into her hug, And the joy in my heart chased the sadness away. At that moment I kissed my little girl’s cheek and held her tight. I knew I could continue and that things would get better.

If you want to become a fluent English speaker you should take some advice. There are four skills in learning English. They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills, you should first master the skills of reading and listening.
Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meaning of the unfamiliar(不熟悉) words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example, in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.
As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening.
For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.
If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve quickly, and you can be a fluent English speaker one day.
46．According to the writer, which should you improve first among the four skills
A．Reading and listening. B．Reading and writing
C．Writing and speaking. D．Speaking and listening.
47．To improve your reading, when you read you should ______.
A．look up all the new words in the dictionary
B．think about what you are reading actively
C．spend more time studying grammars
D．copy as many words and sentences as possible
48．The underlined phrase “come across” in Paragraph 2 can probably be replaced by “______”.
A．hear B．discover C．meet by accident D．look for
49．The passage is mainly about how to ______.
A．choose suitable listening materials
B．deal with new words in reading
C．become fluent in speaking and writing English
D．improve your reading ability as quickly as possible
50．The author seems to agree with the view that____.
A．everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every day
B．you needn’t practice listening if you keep on reading every day.
C．you should take notes of whatever you are hearing.
D．being good at reading is helpful in improving your listening.
D
Knowing how to communicate well needs very personal attention between you and another human being. Is there a better way to learn how to communicate effectively Yes, there is. Please follow the 3 basic steps below.
* Relax and breathe
Whether it's a business meeting or a first date, the first thing you must do in order to communicate is to relax.
When you relax, you are in control. You control your reactions and your reactions do not control you. Breathing is central to relaxation. Take a few deep breaths and your body will begin to be more at ease. This will help you apply what you already know about how to communicate well.
* Think and you will be prepared
Have you ever heard the old saying "think before you speak" Well, it is true. By thinking ahead about how the conversation might flow, you will be better prepared, more at ease and more confident.
* Follow the flow of the conversation
If you are uncomfortable, being silent will only make it worse and make the other person uncomfortable as well. So when all else fails, follow through with small talk until a common topic appears.
A good way to keep a conversation going is to ask the other person questions. People love to talk about themselves and if you do this, they will leave the conversation, thinking very highly of you. Learning good communication skills is not something out of reach. If you make an effort, you will succeed.
51．Which of the following is the best title of the passage
A．How to Begin Your Conversation Effectively.
B．Preparation and Conversation.
C．Personal Attention and Communication.
D．How to Communicate with People You Meet.
52．If you want to talk with others successfully, the most important thing you should do is ________.
A．to make a good preparation for the conversation.
B．to take as many deep breaths as possible.
C．to keep calm and relax yourself fully.
D．to follow the flow of the conversation.
53．Why does relaxation play an important part in your good communication
A．Because it can help you keep excited and react quickly in the communication.
B．Because it will help you organize good sentences for your communication.
C．Because it can help you put your communication skills that you know into use.
D．Because no one likes to communicate with a nervous person.
54．If you feel uncomfortable, you'd better ________.
A．talk small things until you find a topic you both like.
B．speak freely so as to run across the topic you like.
C．keep silent in order to give the chance of speaking to others.
D．ask questions which you are interested in.
55．What's the meaning of the underlined sentence
A．You will be good at communication if you try.
B．Good communication skills can be learned if you try.
C．Not all people can learn good communication skills.
D．Communication skills can be improved easily.
第二部分:写作(共两节，满分35分)
第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)
阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。
Normally, I loved birthdays. When my son and three daughters were little, my husband, Charles, and I always made sure to have dinner, followed by a big cake and presents.
Later, when the kids grew up and lived in different states, they always called to wish me a happy birthday. But this year I could have skipped the whole day, knowing there was one call I wouldn’t be receiving, the one
from my daughter Patty. She’d passed away unexpectedly just a month before. One thing which made me feel a little calm was a voice message that she’d left on my cell phone the night before she died, telling me she loved me.
Over the following days I played her message of wishes over and over again, listening to the last words she said. “I love you very, very much, Mom.” Then, a couple of weeks before my birthday, while I was doing laundry (洗衣服), I accidentally dropped my phone in the washing machine. Quickly I pulled it out and dried it off, but when I checked my voicemail, Patty’s message was gone. I cried, heartbroken. Day after day I kept checking my voicemail, hoping Patty’s message would reappear. It never did.
On the morning of my birthday, I received my son’s wishes. However, all I wanted for my birthday was to hear Patty’s voice again. “Happy birthday.” Charles said, “let’s go out for dinner and a movie. It might help take your mind off things.” Charles was right. I turned off my phone, settled into my seat in the movie theater and let the film take me away. But the minute it ended I started thinking about Patty again. As we were walking out of the theater, I turned on my phone. It rang, signaling I’d gotten a voice message. Probably just my youngest daughter, Leslie, calling to wish me a happy birthday, I thought.
I dialed up voicemail and the message began. It was Patty’s voice, clear as a bell, saying again, “I love you very, very much, Mom.”
56．How did the family celebrate the author’s birthday when the children were young (no more than 10 words)
57．Why didn’t the author want to celebrate her birthday this year (no more than 10 words)
58．How do you understand the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph (no more than 8 words)
59．What happened when the author was doing some washing one day (no more than 15 words)
60．What do you think of the story Give your reasons in your own words. (no more than 20 words)

58．考查词句猜测。根据文章第三段“I cried, heartbroken. Day after day I kept checking my voicemail, hoping Patty’s message would reappear. It never did.(我伤心地哭了。我日复一日地查看我的语音信箱，希望帕蒂的信息能再次出现。但它从来没有)”可知，作者沉浸于悲伤的情绪中，作者的丈夫邀请她一起吃饭看电影是为了慰藉她，从悲伤的情绪中抽离。故答案为It might help her forget sadness/sad things/Patty’s death.
59．考查细节理解。根据文章第三段“while I was doing laundry (洗衣服), I accidentally dropped my phone in the washing machine. Quickly I pulled it out and dried it off, but when I checked my voicemail, Patty’s message was gone.(当我在洗衣服的时候，不小心把手机掉进了洗衣机里。我很快把它拿出来，擦干了，但当我查看我的语音信箱时，帕蒂的信息不见了)”可知，作者洗衣服时发生的事情是手机误掉在洗衣机里，已故女儿留给她的语音不见了。故答案为She accidentally dropped her phone into the washing machine and lost the voicemail from Patty.

It never did.(但当我查看我的语音信箱时，帕蒂的信息不见了。我伤心地哭了。我日复一日地查看我的语音信箱，希望帕蒂的信息能再次出现。但它从来没有)”以及最后一段“I dialed up voicemail and the message began. It was Patty’s voice, clear as a bell, saying again, “I love you very, very much, Mom.”(我点开了语音信箱，那是帕蒂的声音，清晰的声音传来 “我非常非常爱你，妈妈。”)”可知，讲述了父母与儿女之间生死也斩不断的真挚深情和彼此深爱，让人深深感动。故答案可以是I think it is moving/touching. Because whatever happens, the great love between parents and
children still exists.

It was the middle of winter some 30 years ago. I was a young father with three little children counting on me. I worked in a sawmill (锯木厂).
As I got ready to go to work I wrapped band aids around my fingers and put more in my pockets. Cutting and piling up wood for eight hours a day had caused my fingers to split (裂开) and bleed at their tips in the cold, dry winter air.
That day at work was harder than normal. We were short-handed on workers. The machines kept breaking down. We had to rush to catch up as the wood piled up. On top of that, all the heaters in the building had stopped working and we could see our breath as we spent hours working there.
When the work day finally ended, I walked wearily toward the washroom, took off my work gloves, and checked my aching fingers. The splits were worse than ever and I had bled through the band - aids again. I felt so tired. I wondered how long I could keep doing this, if things would ever get any better, and why life was so hard.
After driving home, I tried to put a smile on my face as I opened the front door. But instead, one appeared naturally. My daughter ran up to me, yelled “Daddy!” and wrapped her little arms around my neck. I lifted her up and my heart filled with love. My tired body didn’t feel so tired anymore. My aches and pains disappeared into her hug, And the joy in my heart chased the sadness away. At that moment I kissed my little girl’s cheek and held her tight. I knew I could continue and that things would get better.

If you want to become a fluent English speaker you should take some advice. There are four skills in learning English. They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills, you should first master the skills of reading and listening.
Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meaning of the unfamiliar(不熟悉) words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example, in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.
As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes.

Knowing how to communicate well needs very personal attention between you and another human being. Is there a better way to learn how to communicate effectively Yes, there is. Please follow the 3 basic steps below.
* Relax and breathe
Whether it's a business meeting or a first date, the first thing you must do in order to communicate is to relax.
When you relax, you are in control. You control your reactions and your reactions do not control you. Breathing is central to relaxation. Take a few deep breaths and your body will begin to be more at ease. This will help you apply what you already know about how to communicate well.
* Think and you will be prepared
Have you ever heard the old saying "think before you speak" Well, it is true. By thinking ahead about how the conversation might flow, you will be better prepared, more at ease and more confident.
* Follow the flow of the conversation
If you are uncomfortable, being silent will only make it worse and make the other person uncomfortable as well. So when all else fails, follow through with small talk until a common topic appears.
A good way to keep a conversation going is to ask the other person questions. People love to talk about themselves and if you do this, they will leave the conversation, thinking very highly of you. Learning good communication skills is not something out of reach. If you make an effort, you will succeed.
51．Which of the following is the best title of the passage
A．How to Begin Your Conversation Effectively.
B．Preparation and Conversation.
C．Personal Attention and Communication.
D．How to Communicate with People You Meet.
52．If you want to talk with others successfully, the most important thing you should do is ________.
A．to make a good preparation for the conversation.
B．to take as many deep breaths as possible.
C．to keep calm and relax yourself fully.
D．to follow the flow of the conversation.
53．Why does relaxation play an important part in your good communication
A．Because it can help you keep excited and react quickly in the communication.
B．Because it will help you organize good sentences for your communication.
C．Because it can help you put your communication skills that you know into use.
D．Because no one likes to communicate with a nervous person.
54．If you feel uncomfortable, you'd better ________.
A．talk small things until you find a topic you both like.
B．speak freely so as to run across the topic you like.
C．keep silent in order to give the chance of speaking to others.
D．ask questions which you are interested in.
55．What's the meaning of the underlined sentence
A．You will be good at communication if you try.
B．Good communication skills can be learned if you try.
C．Not all people can learn good communication skills.
D．Communication skills can be improved easily.

阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。
Normally, I loved birthdays. When my son and three daughters were little, my husband, Charles, and I always made sure to have dinner, followed by a big cake and presents.
Later, when the kids grew up and lived in different states, they always called to wish me a happy birthday. But this year I could have skipped the whole day, knowing there was one call I wouldn’t be receiving, the one
from my daughter Patty. She’d passed away unexpectedly just a month before. One thing which made me feel a little calm was a voice message that she’d left on my cell phone the night before she died, telling me she loved me.
Over the following days I played her message of wishes over and over again, listening to the last words she said. “I love you very, very much, Mom.” Then, a couple of weeks before my birthday, while I was doing laundry (洗衣服), I accidentally dropped my phone in the washing machine. Quickly I pulled it out and dried it off, but when I checked my voicemail, Patty’s message was gone. I cried, heartbroken. Day after day I kept checking my voicemail, hoping Patty’s message would reappear. It never did.
On the morning of my birthday, I received my son’s wishes. However, all I wanted for my birthday was to hear Patty’s voice again. “Happy birthday.” Charles said, “let’s go out for dinner and a movie. It might help take your mind off things.” Charles was right. I turned off my phone, settled into my seat in the movie theater and let the film take me away. But the minute it ended I started thinking about Patty again. As we were walking out of the theater, I turned on my phone. It rang, signaling I’d gotten a voice message. Probably just my youngest daughter, Leslie, calling to wish me a happy birthday, I thought.
I dialed up voicemail and the message began. It was Patty’s voice, clear as a bell, saying again, “I love you very, very much, Mom.”
56．How did the family celebrate the author’s birthday when the children were young (no more than 10 words)
57．Why didn’t the author want to celebrate her birthday this year (no more than 10 words)
58．How do you understand the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph (no more than 8 words)

She’d passed away unexpectedly just a month before.(但今年我本可以跳过过生日一整天，因为我知道有一个我接不到的电话，那是我女儿帕蒂的电话。就在一个月前她意外地去世了)”可知，作者今年不想过生日是因为女儿意外去世，再也无法受到女儿的生日祝福。故答案为Because she knew she couldn’t receive her daughter Patty’s call/wishes.或Because her daughter Patty passed away and couldn’t send her wishes.
58．考查词句猜测。根据文章第三段“I cried, heartbroken. Day after day I kept checking my voicemail, hoping Patty’s message would reappear. It never did.(我伤心地哭了。我日复一日地查看我的语音信箱，希望帕蒂的信息能再次出现。但它从来没有)”可知，作者沉浸于悲伤的情绪中，作者的丈夫邀请她一起吃饭看电影是为了慰藉她，从悲伤的情绪中抽离。故答案为It might help her forget sadness/sad things/Patty’s death.
59．考查细节理解。根据文章第三段“while I was doing laundry (洗衣服), I accidentally dropped my phone in the washing machine. Quickly I pulled it out and dried it off, but when I checked my voicemail, Patty’s message was gone.(当我在洗衣服的时候，不小心把手机掉进了洗衣机里。我很快把它拿出来，擦干了，但当我查看我的语音信箱时，帕蒂的信息不见了)”可知，作者洗衣服时发生的事情是手机误掉在洗衣机里，已故女儿留给她的语音不见了。故答案为She accidentally dropped her phone into the washing machine and lost the voicemail from Patty.
60．开放型题目。根据文章第一段“knowing there was one call I wouldn’t be receiving, the one from my daughter Patty. She’d passed away unexpectedly just a month before.(因为我知道有一个我接不到的电话，那是我女儿帕蒂的电话。就在一个月前她意外地去世了)”和第三段“but when I checked my voicemail, Patty’s message was gone. I cried, heartbroken. Day after day I kept checking my voicemail, hoping Patty’s message would reappear. It never did.(但当我查看我的语音信箱时，帕蒂的信息不见了。我伤心地哭了。我日复一日地查看我的语音信箱，希望帕蒂的信息能再次出现。但它从来没有)”以及最后一段“I dialed up voicemail and the message began. It was Patty’s voice, clear as a bell, saying again, “I love you very, very much, Mom.”(我点开了语音信箱，那是帕蒂的声音，清晰的声音传来 “我非常非常爱你，妈妈。”)”可知，讲述了父母与儿女之间生死也斩不断的真挚深情和彼此深爱，让人深深感动。故答案可以是I think it is moving/touching. Because whatever happens, the great love between parents and
children still exists.
61．Dear Peter,
I plan to attend the Global Study Tour organized by our school in the coming summer vacation.
The biggest reason why I consider Study Tour is the opportunity to see the world. I will have a better understanding and appreciation for the nation’s people and history. Another reason is for the chance to experience different styles of education. By enrolling in it, I will have the chance to see what I may not have been exposed to at home. In addition, I think it is also the opportunity to improve my spoken English.
I’d appreciate it if you could give me some suggestions.
Yours,
Li Hua
