第二节： 完形填空 (共10小题；每题1. 5分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从31—40各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，
选出最佳选项。
Adults(成年人) are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practised in the meantime. A man who has not had an opportunity to go swimming for years can 31 swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after several decades and still 32 away. A mother who has not 33 the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or recite the story of Cinderella or Snow White.
One explanation is the law of over-learning, which can be stated as following: 34 we have learned something, additional learning increases the 35 of time we will remember it.
In childhood, we usually continue to practise such skills as swimming, bicycle riding long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and 36 ourselves of poems such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella or Snow White. We not only learn but 37 .
The law of over-learning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination, 38 it may result in a passing grade, is not a 39 way to learn a school course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little over learning, 40 , is usually a good investment toward the future.
31. A. only B. hardly C. still D. even
32. A. more B. drive C. travel D. ride
33. A. thought about B. cared for C. showed up .D. brought up

第三部分．阅读((共两节，满分40分)
第一节：阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Passage A
Early one morning, more than a hundred years ago, an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep. He had been working all night on the design of a sewing machine but he had run into a very difficult problem: It seemed impossible to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle.
Though he was tired, Howe slept badly. He turned and turned. Then he had a dream. He dreamt that he had been caught by terrible savages whose king wanted to kill him and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine. When he tried to do so, Howe ran into the same problem as before. The thread kept getting caught around the needle. The king flew into the cage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe. They came up towards him with their spears raised. But suddenly the inventor noticed something. There was a hole in the tip of each spear. The inventor awoke from the dream, realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem. Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle, he should make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle. This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the first really practised sewing machine.
Elias Howe was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way.
Thomas Edison, the inventor of the electric light, said his best ideas came into him in dreams. So did the great physicist Albert Einstein. Charlotte Bronte also drew in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre.
To know the value of dreams, you have to understand what happens when you are asleep. Even then, a part of your mind is still working. This unconscious(无意识的), but still active part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problems you have had during the day. It stores all sorts of information that you may have forgotten or never have really noticed. It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messages to the part you use when you are awake. However, the unconscious part acts in a special way. It uses strange images which the conscious part may not understand at first. This is why dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves”.
41. According to the passage, Elias Howe was________.
A. the first person we know of who solved problems in his sleep
B. much more hard-working than other inventors
C. the first person to design a sewing machine that really worked
D. the only person at the time who knew the value of dreams
42. The problem Howe was trying to solve was________.
A. what kind of thread to use
B. how to design a needle which would not break
C. where to put the needle
D. how to prevent the thread from getting caught around the needle
43. Thomas Edison is spoken of because________.
A. he also tried to invent a sewing machine
B. he got some of his ideas from dreams
C. he was one of Howe’s best friends
D. he also had difficulty in falling asleep
44. Dreams are sometimes called” secret messages to ourselves” because ________.
A. strange images are used to communicate ideas
B. images which have no meaning are used
C. we can never understand the real meaning
D. only specially trained people can understand them
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Passage B
Language learning begins with listening. Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and later starters are often long listeners .Most children will “obey” spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word “obey” is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child .Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.
Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight, pain, friendliness, and so on. But since these can’t be said to show the baby’s intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store. This self-imitation（模仿）leads on to deliberate（有意的）imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech.
It is a problem we need to get out teeth into. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world .Thus the use at seven months of “mama” as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at other times for his father, his dog, or anything else he likes. Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself, I doubt, however whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds.
45. Before children start speaking________.
A. they need equal amount of listening B. they need different amounts of listening
C. they are all eager to cooperate with the adults by obeying spoken instructions
D. they can’t understand and obey the adult’s oral instructions
46. Children who start speaking late ________.
A. may have problems with their listening
B. probably do not hear enough language spoken around them
C. usually pay close attention to what they hear
D. often take a long time in learning to listen properly
47. A baby’s first noises are ________.
A. an expression of his moods and feelings B. an early form of language
C. a sign that he means to tell you something D. an imitation of the speech of adults
48. The problem of deciding at what point a baby’s imitations can be considered as speech________.
A. is important because words have different meanings for different people
B. is not especially important because the changeover takes place gradually
C. is one that should be properly understood because the meaning of words changes with age
D. is one that should be completely ignored（忽略）because children’s use of words is often meaningless
49, The speaker implies________.
A. parents can never hope to teach their children new sounds
B. children no longer imitate people after they begin to speak
C. children who are good at imitating learn new words more quickly
D. even after they have learnt to speak, children still enjoy imitating
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Passage C
The greatest recent changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there was an unusual shortening of the time of a woman’s life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the 19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children ,her work is lightened by household appliances（家用电器）and convenience foods.
This important change in women’s way of life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger ,more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Many more after wads, return to full or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with both husband and wife accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfaction of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money and running the home, according to the abilities and interest of each of them.
50. We are told that in an average family about 1990________.
A. many children died before they were five
B. the youngest child would be fifteen
C. seven of eight children lived to be more than five
D. four or five children died when they were five
51. When she was over fifty, the late 19th century mother________.
A. would expect to work until she died
B. was usually expected to take up paid employment
C. would be healthy enough to take up paid employment
D. was unlikely to find a job even if she is now likely
52. Many girls, the passage says, are now likely to ________.
A. marry so that they can get a job
B. leave school as soon as they can
C. give up their jobs for good after they are married
D. continue working until they are going to have a baby
53. According to the passage, it is now quite usual for women to ________.
A. stay at home after leaving school B. marry men younger than themselves
C. start working again later in life D. marry while still at school
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Passage D
Any mistake made in the printing of a stamp raises its value to stamp collectors. A mistake on one inexpensive postage stamp has made the stamp worth a million and a half times its original value.
The mistake was made more than a hundred years ago in the British colony of Mauritius, a small island in the Indian Ocean. In 1847 an order for stamps was sent to a London printer-Mauritius was to become the fourth country in the world to issue stamps.
Before the order was filled and delivered, a ball was planned at Mauritius’ Government House, and stamps were needed to send out the invitations. A local printer was instructed to copy the design for the stamps. He accidentally inscribed the words “Post Office” instead of “Post Paid” on the several hundred stamps that he printed.
Today there are only twenty-six of these misprinted stamps left fourteen One Penny Orange-Reds and twelve Two Penny Blues. Because of the Two Penny Blue’s rareness and age, collectors have paid as much as ＄16 800 for it.
54. Over a century ago, Mauritius ________.
A. was an independent country B. belonged to India
C. was one of the British colonies D. was a small island in the Pacific Ocean
55. Stamp collectors have paid 16 800 for ________.
A. fourteen One Penny Orange-Reds B. twelve Two Penny Blues
C. one One Penny Orange-Red D. one Two Penny Blue

第二节：篇章结构(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
阅读下列短文，请将标有A~F的段落插入文章中标号为56~60的合适位置，使这篇文章意义完整，结构连贯；其中有一个段落是多余的。
In my long years of teaching, I often ask my students to read the texts until they can recite them, and tell that recitation is an important part of their homework. 56 They argue that it takes a long time to recite a text from memory and the text itself never appears in a test paper.
57 When you are able to recite a text, you are sure to be familiar with the words and expressions. 58 So you will give quick response to all kinds of language situation. How can we say that it is useless
59 This is true, but you don’t need to worry. While you are reading and forgetting the texts, your language level is being raised. Sure you don’t remember your Chinese texts that you once read in the primary school, but now you are able to read novels and newspapers. 60
A. Besides, many students complain that they soon forget what were once able to recite.
B. However, some of my students are tired of doing so, thinking that it is both hard and useless.
C. When you need them in reading or writing or doing exercises, they will come to your mind quickly.
D. Generally speaking, reciting the text is the best way of learning English.
E. So, recitation of the text will help you improve your language ability.
F. In my opinion, it naturally takes time to recite a text, but it is worth doing so.

Chart 1 shows the daily average amount of time the students of the school spend on different after-class activities. The students put the most time－93 minutes－into their homework, and next in line is watching TV, which takes up 46 minutes. They put in about the same amount of time listening to music and working on the computer, 34 minutes and 30 minutes each. While 25 minutes is spent on sports, only 12 minutes goes into housework.
As is shown on Chart 2, only 10% of the time is taken up with sports activities. I think the school should encourage the students to do more exercise after class. This way, they may be healthier and more energetic.

Is a Training Class or a Private Teacher Necessary
Nowadays more and more middle school students are going to all kinds of training classes or
having private teachers at the weekend. There are two different viewpoints/opinions about it
Some people think it (is) necessary. First of all / Firstly，it’s more effective to study with a teacher than by themselves. Secondly, it can strengthen what is learnt in class. Thirdly, they can learn a lot more. In this way, they can enlarge their knowledge and form a better habit.
Others think it un-necessary. For one thing, students can easily form the habit of dependence, and, for another, students need time to relax from time to time, to review what they have learnt and to preview the new lessons. What’s more, the purpose of many training classes and family teachers is to make money.
In my opinion, whether a training class or a private teacher is needed just depends on different reasons. If you are really very weak at a certain subject, maybe it is OK for you .But be sure to make a good decision to choose a good and suitable class or teacher, otherwise it would be a waste of time and money. Above all, what I want to stress is that good scores depend on good method and diligence. Do you think so ************************************************

阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从31—40各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，
选出最佳选项。
Adults(成年人) are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practised in the meantime. A man who has not had an opportunity to go swimming for years can 31 swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after several decades and still 32 away. A mother who has not 33 the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or recite the story of Cinderella or Snow White.
One explanation is the law of over-learning, which can be stated as following: 34 we have learned something, additional learning increases the 35 of time we will remember it.
In childhood, we usually continue to practise such skills as swimming, bicycle riding long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and 36 ourselves of poems such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella or Snow White. We not only learn but 37 .
The law of over-learning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination, 38 it may result in a passing grade, is not a 39 way to learn a school course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little over learning, 40 , is usually a good investment toward the future.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Passage A
Early one morning, more than a hundred years ago, an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep. He had been working all night on the design of a sewing machine but he had run into a very difficult problem: It seemed impossible to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle.
Though he was tired, Howe slept badly. He turned and turned. Then he had a dream. He dreamt that he had been caught by terrible savages whose king wanted to kill him and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine. When he tried to do so, Howe ran into the same problem as before. The thread kept getting caught around the needle. The king flew into the cage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe. They came up towards him with their spears raised. But suddenly the inventor noticed something. There was a hole in the tip of each spear. The inventor awoke from the dream, realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem. Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle, he should make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle. This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the first really practised sewing machine.
Elias Howe was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way.
Thomas Edison, the inventor of the electric light, said his best ideas came into him in dreams. So did the great physicist Albert Einstein. Charlotte Bronte also drew in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre.
To know the value of dreams, you have to understand what happens when you are asleep. Even then, a part of your mind is still working. This unconscious(无意识的), but still active part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problems you have had during the day. It stores all sorts of information that you may have forgotten or never have really noticed. It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messages to the part you use when you are awake. However, the unconscious part acts in a special way. It uses strange images which the conscious part may not understand at first. This is why dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves”.
41. According to the passage, Elias Howe was________.
A. the first person we know of who solved problems in his sleep
B. much more hard-working than other inventors
C. the first person to design a sewing machine that really worked
D. the only person at the time who knew the value of dreams
42. The problem Howe was trying to solve was________.
A. what kind of thread to use
B. how to design a needle which would not break
C. where to put the needle
D. how to prevent the thread from getting caught around the needle
43. Thomas Edison is spoken of because________.
A. he also tried to invent a sewing machine
B. he got some of his ideas from dreams
C. he was one of Howe’s best friends
D. he also had difficulty in falling asleep
44. Dreams are sometimes called” secret messages to ourselves” because ________.
A. strange images are used to communicate ideas
B. images which have no meaning are used
C. we can never understand the real meaning
D. only specially trained people can understand them
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Passage B
Language learning begins with listening. Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and later starters are often long listeners .Most children will “obey” spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word “obey” is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child .Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.
Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight, pain, friendliness, and so on. But since these can’t be said to show the baby’s intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store. This self-imitation（模仿）leads on to deliberate（有意的）imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech.
It is a problem we need to get out teeth into. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world .Thus the use at seven months of “mama” as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at other times for his father, his dog, or anything else he likes. Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself, I doubt, however whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds.
45. Before children start speaking________.
A. they need equal amount of listening B. they need different amounts of listening
C. they are all eager to cooperate with the adults by obeying spoken instructions
D. they can’t understand and obey the adult’s oral instructions
46. Children who start speaking late ________.
A. may have problems with their listening
B. probably do not hear enough language spoken around them
C. usually pay close attention to what they hear
D. often take a long time in learning to listen properly
47. A baby’s first noises are ________.
A. an expression of his moods and feelings B. an early form of language
C. a sign that he means to tell you something D. an imitation of the speech of adults
48. The problem of deciding at what point a baby’s imitations can be considered as speech________.
A. is important because words have different meanings for different people
B. is not especially important because the changeover takes place gradually
C. is one that should be properly understood because the meaning of words changes with age
D. is one that should be completely ignored（忽略）because children’s use of words is often meaningless
49, The speaker implies________.
A. parents can never hope to teach their children new sounds
B. children no longer imitate people after they begin to speak
C. children who are good at imitating learn new words more quickly
D. even after they have learnt to speak, children still enjoy imitating
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Passage C
The greatest recent changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there was an unusual shortening of the time of a woman’s life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the 19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children ,her work is lightened by household appliances（家用电器）and convenience foods.
This important change in women’s way of life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger ,more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Many more after wads, return to full or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with both husband and wife accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfaction of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money and running the home, according to the abilities and interest of each of them.
50. We are told that in an average family about 1990________.
A. many children died before they were five
B. the youngest child would be fifteen
C. seven of eight children lived to be more than five
D. four or five children died when they were five
51. When she was over fifty, the late 19th century mother________.
A. would expect to work until she died
B. was usually expected to take up paid employment
C. would be healthy enough to take up paid employment
D. was unlikely to find a job even if she is now likely
52. Many girls, the passage says, are now likely to ________.
A. marry so that they can get a job
B. leave school as soon as they can
C. give up their jobs for good after they are married
D. continue working until they are going to have a baby
53. According to the passage, it is now quite usual for women to ________.
A. stay at home after leaving school B. marry men younger than themselves
C. start working again later in life D. marry while still at school
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Passage D
Any mistake made in the printing of a stamp raises its value to stamp collectors. A mistake on one inexpensive postage stamp has made the stamp worth a million and a half times its original value.
The mistake was made more than a hundred years ago in the British colony of Mauritius, a small island in the Indian Ocean. In 1847 an order for stamps was sent to a London printer-Mauritius was to become the fourth country in the world to issue stamps.
Before the order was filled and delivered, a ball was planned at Mauritius’ Government House, and stamps were needed to send out the invitations. A local printer was instructed to copy the design for the stamps. He accidentally inscribed the words “Post Office” instead of “Post Paid” on the several hundred stamps that he printed.
Today there are only twenty-six of these misprinted stamps left fourteen One Penny Orange-Reds and twelve Two Penny Blues. Because of the Two Penny Blue’s rareness and age, collectors have paid as much as ＄16 800 for it.
54. Over a century ago, Mauritius ________.
A. was an independent country B. belonged to India
C. was one of the British colonies D. was a small island in the Pacific Ocean
55. Stamp collectors have paid 16 800 for ________.
A. fourteen One Penny Orange-Reds B. twelve Two Penny Blues
C. one One Penny Orange-Red D. one Two Penny Blue

In my long years of teaching, I often ask my students to read the texts until they can recite them, and tell that recitation is an important part of their homework. 56 They argue that it takes a long time to recite a text from memory and the text itself never appears in a test paper.
57 When you are able to recite a text, you are sure to be familiar with the words and expressions. 58 So you will give quick response to all kinds of language situation. How can we say that it is useless
59 This is true, but you don’t need to worry. While you are reading and forgetting the texts, your language level is being raised. Sure you don’t remember your Chinese texts that you once read in the primary school, but now you are able to read novels and newspapers. 60
A. Besides, many students complain that they soon forget what were once able to recite.
B. However, some of my students are tired of doing so, thinking that it is both hard and useless.
C. When you need them in reading or writing or doing exercises, they will come to your mind quickly.
D. Generally speaking, reciting the text is the best way of learning English.
E. So, recitation of the text will help you improve your language ability.
F. In my opinion, it naturally takes time to recite a text, but it is worth doing so.

Chart 1 shows the daily average amount of time the students of the school spend on different after-class activities. The students put the most time－93 minutes－into their homework, and next in line is watching TV, which takes up 46 minutes. They put in about the same amount of time listening to music and working on the computer, 34 minutes and 30 minutes each. While 25 minutes is spent on sports, only 12 minutes goes into housework.
As is shown on Chart 2, only 10% of the time is taken up with sports activities. I think the school should encourage the students to do more exercise after class. This way, they may be healthier and more energetic.

Is a Training Class or a Private Teacher Necessary
Nowadays more and more middle school students are going to all kinds of training classes or
having private teachers at the weekend. There are two different viewpoints/opinions about it
Some people think it (is) necessary. First of all / Firstly，it’s more effective to study with a teacher than by themselves. Secondly, it can strengthen what is learnt in class. Thirdly, they can learn a lot more. In this way, they can enlarge their knowledge and form a better habit.
Others think it un-necessary. For one thing, students can easily form the habit of dependence, and, for another, students need time to relax from time to time, to review what they have learnt and to preview the new lessons. What’s more, the purpose of many training classes and family teachers is to make money.
In my opinion, whether a training class or a private teacher is needed just depends on different reasons. If you are really very weak at a certain subject, maybe it is OK for you .But be sure to make a good decision to choose a good and suitable class or teacher, otherwise it would be a waste of time and money. Above all, what I want to stress is that good scores depend on good method and diligence. Do you think so ************************************************
