第二节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题l.5分，满分30分）
As an engineering student, I had a degree and three good job offers. I couldn’t help trembling when I heard about studies which showed that women are at a (n) 36 when it comes to math. However, I discovered: just because a subject is 37 to learn, it does not show you are not good at it. You just have to grit your teeth and work harder to get good at it. 38 you do, there’s a (an) 39 chance you will enjoy it more than anything else.
In eighth grade I took algebra (代数). On one test I got only 36 percent of the 40 answers. I failed the next one, too. I started to 41 maybe I’m just not good at this. I was lucky enough to have a teacher who didn’t take my bad grades as a judgment of my 42 , but 43 as an indication that I should study more. He 44 me aside and told me he knew I could do better. Success grows out of struggles to overcome difficulties. I 45 the following tests, and pulled my grade up to an A.
I studied a lot in college, too. I had moments of fear while sitting below the fluorescent lights in the 46 library on Saturday afternoons, when I 47 that the estrogen (雌性激素) in my body was 48 me from understanding thermodynamics (热动力学). But the 49 in my class had to work just as hard, and I knew that I couldn’t 50 to lose confidence in myself. I didn’t want to choose between my femininity (女人气) and a good career. 51 I reminded myself that those 52 , the ones that say math comes more naturally to men, are faulty.
Here’s a secret: math and science don’t go 53 to most people. No one was 54 born knowing calculus (微积分). But as a famous saying goes: Y nothing is difficult if you put your heart into it. A woman can learn anything a man can, but first she needs to know that she can do it, and then takes a leap of 55 .

?第三部分：阅读理解 A
Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal advisors give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants. But in the executive(主管的) circle, beauty can become a liability.
While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman. Handsome male executives were considered having more honesty than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to lead to their success. Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck.
All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the attractive overnight successes was connected more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of the unattractive overnight successes.
Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman considered to be more feminine has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the "manly" qualities required.
This is true even in politics, "When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently," says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates(候选人). She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.
The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the women who had ranked most attractive unchangeably received the fewest votes.
56. The underlined word "liability" most probably means ________.
A. disadvantage B. advantage C. misfortune D. trouble
57. Bowman' s experiment shows that when it comes to politics, attractiveness ______.
A. turns out to be a disadvantage to men B. is more of a disadvantage than an advantage to women
C. has as little effect on men as on women D. affects men and women Mike
58. It can be inferred from the passage that people' s views on beauty are often ________
A. practical B. supportive C. old-fashioned D, one-sided
59. The author writes this passage to _________.
give advice to job-seekers who are attractive B. discuss the disadvantages of being attractive
demand equal rights for women D. state the importance of appearance
B
My first reaction was annoyance. It was Friday afternoon, and I was within an hour of finishing my work for the week. As I was leaving, a nurse brought me one more patient message. The statement read: “Mrs. Jones called to say that she has had blurred vision (视觉模糊) ever since her medical test this morning.” I smiled. Suddenly our tests were causing eye problems.
This week my patients had questioned everything. My patient with high blood pressure had stopped coming to her treatment on the advice of an Internet chat room. A woman who had a mental problem was substituting (用……代替) St. John’s word for her medication. Now Mrs. Jones was imagining problems. I rolled my eyes.
My second reaction was worry. As I looked through her record, I tried to figure out why she would have blurred vision, but nothing in her record explained the new problem. She’s probably just anxious, I thought. Still, she wouldn’t have called if she had been all right. I picked up the phone.
What I next felt can only be described as delight. Before I made the call, the nurse ran in: Mrs. Jones called. Her vision is fine. It turned out that she picked up the wrong glasses when she left the office. The X-ray technician has been having the same problem. I let out a laughter. Mrs. Jones had been right. Her vision had been blurred. Now we know why.
Finally I felt shame. I came to realize what Mrs. Jones had taught me. I had first known she was wrong, that her anxiety had clouded her judgment. Instead, my medical training had clouded mine. Now I feel thankful that Mrs. Jones figured it out before I made a mistake about our relationship. Patients come to me for my help. They pay me to listen, diagnose , treat and talk. That suggests trust; I must remember that, and trust them too.
60. The writer smiled while reading the patient message because he knew _____.
A. Mrs. Jones would ask for more tests B. the patient was being unreasonable
C. the nurse was joking with him D. Mrs. Jones would call him
61. What has caused Mrs. Jones’ eye problem?
A. Wrong glasses. B. Medical checkup. C. Her own imagination. D. Chatting on the Internet.
62. The underlined words “clouded her judgment” in the last paragraph probably mean “____”.
A. made her less trustful toward the doctor B. put her in control of her own feelings
C. made her less able to think clearly D. put her in a dangerous situation
C
A peer is a person who is about the same age as you. Peers affect your life, whether you know it or not, just by spending time with you.
Peers can have a good effect on each other. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book, and now everyone's reading it.
However, sometimes peers affect each other in another way. For example, one kid in school might try to get another to cut class with him, your soccer friend might try to persuade you to be mean to another player and never pass her the ball, or a kid in the neighborhood might want you to shoplift with him.
Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked, to fit in, or because they worry that other kids may make fun of them if they don't go along with the group. Others may go along because they are curious to try something new that others are doing. The idea that “everyone’s doing it” may influence some kids to leave their better judgments, or their common senses behind.
Peer pressure can be extremely strong and hard to get rid of. Experiments have shown how peer pressure can influence someone to change her mind from what she knows for sure is a correct answer to the incorrect answer -- just because everyone else gives the incorrect answer! That holds true for people of any age in peer pressure situations.
It can be hard to walk away from peer pressure, but it can be done. Pay attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do. Inner strength and self- confidence can help you stand firm, walk away, and resist doing something when you know better.
63. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Peers have a good effect. B. Children give in to peer pressure.
C. Peer pressure is hard to stop. D. Peer pressure.
64. The underlined word "shoplift" probably means to _______.
A. do shopping B. carry goods for shops C. steal in the shop D. take the lift upstairs in the shop
65. The writer will NOT agree that ________.
A. only children change their correct answers to incorrect ones because of peer pressure
B. peers have an effect on each other C. peer pressure can be got rid of
D. peers will believe in themselves if there are other peers who agree with them
66. The writer intends to ________by writing the passage.
A. warn peers to separate from each other B. tell peers to follow others
C. show it is hard to walk away from peer pressure D. persuade peers to do what they think is the right thing
D
Dear Flowermouse,
Thank you for your comments on how Americans and Chinese view each other. This is an important subject. Modern technology has given many nations the chance of destroying other nations. This is a cruel picture but it is a realistic one. It means that every nation should make sure that these weapons of great destruction are never used. This requires greater understanding and greater acceptance of differences among people and nations in all parts of the planet.
Your letter asks specifically about Chinese American relationships but I want to let you know my feelings on a global scale. Because China and America are the most powerful nations and I believe they have a special responsibility for promoting better understanding and for leading the way toward peaceful solutions to the world’s problems.
You ask how Chinese American people view each other. This is an important question. Because I know so little about China that I am not able to judge how Chinese view Americans. I am sure that the view differs according to individual experiences that persons might have. And it is not easy to describe America to foreigners. America is a vast mass of people and cultures. These people came from all parts of the world, from Asia, Africa, Latin America, Europe and Australia. Each brought a different culture and a different set of values within a single nation.
I believe that the vast majority of Americans like the vast majority of Chinese want peace and friendship between our two nations. Both China and America have suffered through generations from war and violence in our history. And I believe that it is the special responsibility of all Chinese and all Americans to impress this need for mutual understanding on our neighbors in other countries.
So my friend, this is my response. Please know that I write to you as a private person living in America. I do feel strongly that people everywhere have more in common than they have differences. We all share the same basic needs for existence and we all depend upon the same need for the survival of this beautiful planet earth. Maybe we can begin to encourage better communication and better understanding through my columns. I hope so.
67. From the passage we can know that Flowermouse _______.
A. loves Americans
B. has read about the writer’s articles
C. is American
D. knows little about Americans
68. It is likely that the writer ______.
A. disagrees with Flowermouse B. thinks it possible for nations to be destroyed due to modern technology
C. thinks American government share the same opinions with its people
D. believes the weapons of great destruction are never used
69. In the letter Flowermouse wrote to the writer, he may have referred to _____.
A. American culture
B. American society
C. Chinese- American relationships
D. how Chinese and Americans help each other
70. The writer’s purpose to write the passage is to ____.
A. introduce Americans to us
B. make friends with Flowermouse
C. speak for the government of America
D. call in nations to understand each other

The house was quiet at 5 am and Tim’s mother was asleep. Only the sound of big freezer broke the quiet. He’d dreamt of the cave last night. The purring (轻微颤动声) of the freezer had been the sea.
Tim pulled on a sweater and put some apples into his schoolbag. It was too early for breakfast, He’d eat after he’d been through the cave, sitting on the rocks and staring at the sea.
He wished he had a proper pack. His schoolbag would have to do. What else? Sandwiches - but his mother might wake up if he started pulling out bread for sandwiches, she’d want to know why he had to leave so early. He settled for some biscuits, and left a note stuck to the table: Gone to Michael’s. Back tonight. Tim
The sky was high and soft and light outside, though the sun still wasn’t up. Even the highway up the hill was quiet as he made his way down the street. The wind from the sea was fresh and sweet.
The sand hills still breathed heat from yesterday’s sun, though the top of the sand was cool. He ran down to the beach impatiently, but there was no one, just dry sand dancing in the early wind and seabirds marching up and down watching the waves.
The light changed suddenly. The first rays of sunlight stretched across the sea. The sun was pushing its way over the edge of the world.
Over the first rocks, along to the point. Tim glanced back. The beach was still empty. The sun sailed higher in the sky.
He could see the cave now, even darker in the morning light. The sand turned silver then dark gold as the water flowed away from it. He had to force himself to go closer.

One possible version:
Recently we have held a class meeting to discuss what is considered to be honorable behavior and what is shameful. To be frank , some students don’t respect their teachers or parents. Some don’t take their studies seriously and cheat in exams. Still some litter around, making the school dirty.
It is really a pity to see all this in our school. We think it honorable to obey the law and rules and care much about our class. It is also worthy of praise to study hard. On the hand, it is shameful to break school rules, to be selfish or to make little effort to achieve success.
To improve the present situation, what shall we do in future? Firstly, set ourselves a goal and work hard to achieve our ambitions. Secondly, respect others and think more of them than of ourselves. In addition, we should try hard to keep the environment clean.

Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal advisors give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants. But in the executive(主管的) circle, beauty can become a liability.
While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman.

What I next felt can only be described as delight. Before I made the call, the nurse ran in: Mrs. Jones called. Her vision is fine. It turned out that she picked up the wrong glasses when she left the office. The X-ray technician has been having the same problem. I let out a laughter. Mrs. Jones had been right. Her vision had been blurred. Now we know why.
Finally I felt shame. I came to realize what Mrs. Jones had taught me. I had first known she was wrong, that her anxiety had clouded her judgment. Instead, my medical training had clouded mine. Now I feel thankful that Mrs. Jones figured it out before I made a mistake about our relationship. Patients come to me for my help. They pay me to listen, diagnose , treat and talk. That suggests trust; I must remember that, and trust them too.
60. The writer smiled while reading the patient message because he knew _____.
A. Mrs. Jones would ask for more tests B. the patient was being unreasonable
C. the nurse was joking with him D. Mrs. Jones would call him
61. What has caused Mrs. Jones’ eye problem?
A. Wrong glasses. B. Medical checkup. C. Her own imagination. D. Chatting on the Internet.
62. The underlined words “clouded her judgment” in the last paragraph probably mean “____”.
A. made her less trustful toward the doctor B. put her in control of her own feelings
C. made her less able to think clearly D. put her in a dangerous situation

A peer is a person who is about the same age as you. Peers affect your life, whether you know it or not, just by spending time with you.
Peers can have a good effect on each other. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book, and now everyone's reading it.
However, sometimes peers affect each other in another way. For example, one kid in school might try to get another to cut class with him, your soccer friend might try to persuade you to be mean to another player and never pass her the ball, or a kid in the neighborhood might want you to shoplift with him.
Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked, to fit in, or because they worry that other kids may make fun of them if they don't go along with the group. Others may go along because they are curious to try something new that others are doing. The idea that “everyone’s doing it” may influence some kids to leave their better judgments, or their common senses behind.
Peer pressure can be extremely strong and hard to get rid of. Experiments have shown how peer pressure can influence someone to change her mind from what she knows for sure is a correct answer to the incorrect answer -- just because everyone else gives the incorrect answer! That holds true for people of any age in peer pressure situations.
It can be hard to walk away from peer pressure, but it can be done. Pay attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do. Inner strength and self- confidence can help you stand firm, walk away, and resist doing something when you know better.
63. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Peers have a good effect. B. Children give in to peer pressure.
C. Peer pressure is hard to stop. D. Peer pressure.
64. The underlined word "shoplift" probably means to _______.
A. do shopping B. carry goods for shops C. steal in the shop D. take the lift upstairs in the shop

A. only children change their correct answers to incorrect ones because of peer pressure
B. peers have an effect on each other C. peer pressure can be got rid of
D. peers will believe in themselves if there are other peers who agree with them
66. The writer intends to ________by writing the passage.
A. warn peers to separate from each other B. tell peers to follow others
C. show it is hard to walk away from peer pressure D. persuade peers to do what they think is the right thing

Dear Flowermouse,
Thank you for your comments on how Americans and Chinese view each other. This is an important subject. Modern technology has given many nations the chance of destroying other nations. This is a cruel picture but it is a realistic one. It means that every nation should make sure that these weapons of great destruction are never used. This requires greater understanding and greater acceptance of differences among people and nations in all parts of the planet.
Your letter asks specifically about Chinese American relationships but I want to let you know my feelings on a global scale. Because China and America are the most powerful nations and I believe they have a special responsibility for promoting better understanding and for leading the way toward peaceful solutions to the world’s problems.
You ask how Chinese American people view each other. This is an important question. Because I know so little about China that I am not able to judge how Chinese view Americans. I am sure that the view differs according to individual experiences that persons might have. And it is not easy to describe America to foreigners. America is a vast mass of people and cultures. These people came from all parts of the world, from Asia, Africa, Latin America, Europe and Australia. Each brought a different culture and a different set of values within a single nation.
I believe that the vast majority of Americans like the vast majority of Chinese want peace and friendship between our two nations. Both China and America have suffered through generations from war and violence in our history. And I believe that it is the special responsibility of all Chinese and all Americans to impress this need for mutual understanding on our neighbors in other countries.
So my friend, this is my response. Please know that I write to you as a private person living in America. I do feel strongly that people everywhere have more in common than they have differences. We all share the same basic needs for existence and we all depend upon the same need for the survival of this beautiful planet earth. Maybe we can begin to encourage better communication and better understanding through my columns. I hope so.

Tim pulled on a sweater and put some apples into his schoolbag. It was too early for breakfast, He’d eat after he’d been through the cave, sitting on the rocks and staring at the sea.

The sky was high and soft and light outside, though the sun still wasn’t up. Even the highway up the hill was quiet as he made his way down the street. The wind from the sea was fresh and sweet.
The sand hills still breathed heat from yesterday’s sun, though the top of the sand was cool. He ran down to the beach impatiently, but there was no one, just dry sand dancing in the early wind and seabirds marching up and down watching the waves.
The light changed suddenly. The first rays of sunlight stretched across the sea. The sun was pushing its way over the edge of the world.
Over the first rocks, along to the point. Tim glanced back. The beach was still empty. The sun sailed higher in the sky.
He could see the cave now, even darker in the morning light. The sand turned silver then dark gold as the water flowed away from it. He had to force himself to go closer. Why was it so much more mysterious now? But it would be silly to go back now after so much trouble. He needn’t go in all the way ...

第二节： 书面表达
One possible version:
Recently we have held a class meeting to discuss what is considered to be honorable behavior and what is shameful. To be frank , some students don’t respect their teachers or parents. Some don’t take their studies seriously and cheat in exams. Still some litter around, making the school dirty.
It is really a pity to see all this in our school. We think it honorable to obey the law and rules and care much about our class. It is also worthy of praise to study hard. On the hand, it is shameful to break school rules, to be selfish or to make little effort to achieve success.
To improve the present situation, what shall we do in future? Firstly, set ourselves a goal and work hard to achieve our ambitions. Secondly, respect others and think more of them than of ourselves. In addition, we should try hard to keep the environment clean.
