When I was 14, I was hired for an after-school job selling subscriptions（征订）to my hometown paper, the Houston Post. I was sent to some of the city’s worst neighborhoods to “beg” door to door. Even though I was often moving around with difficulty after dark in bad areas 36 for garage apartments, I was 37 for the work.
It was a 38 because people didn’t like a stranger knocking on their door, 39 a kid trying to get them to buy something. Once a man shut his door heavily in my face and 40 , “I don’t want your dawn paper!” I 41 myself to knock again and was able to tell him how 42 the paper was. I ended up selling him a subscription. I was soon among the 43 subscription sellers and, like other successful 44 , was given the chance to train newcomers.

That 51 helped me in many ways. Early in my music life I was 52 in a legal disagreement with a former manager. He 53 me to back off, but I refused.

第三部分:阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节（共17小题；每小题2分，满分34分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
When we can see well, we do not think about our eyes often. It is only when we can not see perfectly that we come to see how important our eyes are.
People who are nearsighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Many people who do a lot of close work, such as writing and reading, become nearsighted. Then they have to wear glasses in order to see distant things clearly.
People who are farsighted face just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses too.
Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts. Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.
When night falls, colors become fainter to the eyes and finally disappear. After your eyes have grown used to the dark, you can see better if you use the side of your eyes rather than the centers. Sometimes, after dark, you see a small thing to one side of you, which seems to disappear if you turn your head in its direction. This is because when you turn your head, you are looking? at the thing too directly. Men on guard duty sometimes think they see something moving to one side of them. When they turn to look straight at it, they can not see it any more, and they believe they were mistaken. However, this mistake happens because the center of the eye, which is very sensitive in daylight, is not as sensitive as the sides of the eye after dark.
56.We don’t know that our eyes are of great importance until ________.
A. we think about our eyes B. we cannot see clearly
C. we wear glasses D. we have to do much reading
57.According to the passage, a ________ is more likely to be nearsighted.
A.tailor B. doctor C. guard D.painter
58.People who are farsighted ________ .
A.cannot do a lot of close work without glasses
B.can only see things that are very close to their eyes
C.have difficulty reading a book if they hold it at arm’s length
D.have the same problem as the nearsighted people
59.To see a small thing at night, it is better to look ________ .
A.with wide open eyes B.with half shut or narrowed eyes
C.straight at it D.in a slightly different direction
B
Trees are useful to man in three important ways: they give him wood and other useful things, they give him cool places, and they help to stop drought and flood.
Unluckily, in many parts of the world, man has not found that the third of these points is the most important. Man wants to make money from trees,so he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had. And also, he is usually too careless to plant and look after new trees. So the forests slowly disappear.
This does not only mean that man will have fewer trees. The results are even worse: for where there are trees, their roots break up soil-make the rain in-and also bind the soil, thus stopping it from being washed away easily; but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away, causing floods and carrying away the rich top-soil. When all the top-soil is gone, nothing is left but useless desert.
60.The most important points of trees to man is ________.
A.they help him to make money B.they give him cool
C.they give him wood and other things D.they help him to stop drought and floods
61.In many places forests slowly disappear because ________ .
A.many trees have been cut down by man B.new trees are not well looked after
C.man has not paid enough attention to planting trees D.all the above
62.Land becomes desert after all trees are cut down because ________ .
A. roots of trees break up the soil B. there are too many rainfalls
C. strong winds bring a lot of sand
D. there are no longer trees to keep the rain and protect the top-soil.
63.Which title best fits the passage?
A.Trees and Man B.The Function of Tree Wood
C.How do People do with Trees? D.The Usage of Tree Roots
C
Laptop computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.
Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a ＄10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to “speak” with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees-anywhere at all!
Because of the many changes in computer technology , laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying? how laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too.
At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, “ Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we’re giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything.”
64.The main purpose of the laptop program is to give each student a laptop to ________.
A.use for their schoolwork B.access the Internet C.work at home D.connect them to libraries
65.Why is the word “speak” in the second paragraph in quotation marks(引号)?
A.They don’t really talk. B.They use the computer language.
C.Laptops have speakers. D.None of the above reasons is correct.
66.Which of the following is true about Westlake College?
A. All teachers use computers. B.1500 students have laptops.
C.It is an old college in America. D.Students there can do everything.
67. A window on the world? in the last paragraph means that students can ________.
A.attend lectures on information technology B.travel around the world
C.get information from around the world D.have free laptops
68.What can we infer from the passage?
A.The program is successful. B.The program is not workable.
C.The program is too expensive. D.We don’t know the result yet.
D
Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s. In the same way, children learning to do all the other things: they learn to do without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle, compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.
If it is a matter of right answer, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine(常规) work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, and how to know what they know or do not know.
69.According to the passage, the best way for children to learn things is by ________.
A.listening to skilled people’s advice B.asking older people many questions
C.making mistakes and having them corrected D.doing what other people do
70.Which of the following does the writer think teachers should NOT do?
A.Give children correct answers. B.Allow children to make mistakes.
C.Point out children’s mistakes to them. D.Let children mark their own work.
71.According to the writer, teachers in school should ________.
A.allow children to learn from each other B.point out children’s mistakes whenever found
C.give children more book knowledge D.correct children’s mistakes as soon as possible
72.The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are ________.
A.different from learning other skills B.the same as learning skills
C.more important than other skills D.not really important skills
第二节（共3小题，每小题2分，满分6分）
阅读下面短文，简要回答问题。
Recently, in the hope of earning both money and social experience, I became a door-to-door salesman. I once read a saying: “ If somebody wants something of yours, you will be treated as warmly as spring, but if they don’t you may be treated as coldly as winter.” You may consider his an exaggeration, but if you are a salesman, it is clearly correct. You would never have found it to be so true if you hadn’t been a salesman. You needn’t stand doubtful looks and unfriendly comments; you needn’t listen to something completely wrong and nod to say that it was quite right; you needn’t always keep patience and a smile; you needn’t repeat the same sentences over again; you needn’t bear talking to somebody you disike… I did this work for a month; then I decided to give it up. Apart from the above reasons, I found I was paying too much attention to the job and thus lessening my study time. The latest test result proved that my grades were getting lower. Even worse, I had been sacrificing much time to join my classmates in college activities. Sometimes I felt lonely and unhappy because of both my study and my part-time job. Now I don’t think it is worth doing such a thing even though I was earning money at great cost.
Newspapers and magazines often publish stories about good students who do part- time work and keep high scores in class. But according to my experience, part- time work can have some strong bad effects on study. Most students don’t see the relationship between study and work in a correct way. In my opinion, if it isn’t must for financial reasons, students should be cautious about taking up a part- time job. In western countries even the children of very rich families take part in hard jobs during the summer vacation.
73. Find in the passage a word closest in meaning to the underlined word “sacrificing”.

74. What’s the author’s opinion on work while studying? (回答词数不超过8个)

75. Who should take part- time jobs according to the text above?(回答词数不超过7个)

第四部分：书面表达（共两节，满分35分）
第一节:填空(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)

If people work to meet their needs, it would be good to know what these needs are. They are very simple. Dr. Maslow has suggested that people have only five needs. Every one has them, and everyone spends his or her life trying to satisfy them. Although we may try to satisfy our needs in different ways, we all are trying to satisfy the same needs. In a way, it is these needs, which are common to all people, that make us human. They seem to be a basic part of human nature.
The needs, which occur in the order shown below, can briefly be described as follows:
1．The Physiological Needs - Our needs for the things that keep our bodies alive- food, water, rest, air, elimination, etc. These needs come first. We must meet them or we will die.
2．The Safety Needs – First we need to stay alive, and then we need to be safe. There are two kinds of safety needs: the need to be physically safe and the need to be psychologically safe or secure.
3．The Belongingness Needs – Once we are alive and safe, we then try to satisfy our social need, a need to be with and accepted by other people. We discover our need for love.
4．The Esteem Needs – After our first three needs are fairly well met, we try to satisfy a fourth need. This is a need for recognition, respect, reputation. The need has two parts: self esteem (thinking well of ourselves ) and the esteem of others.
5．The self – actualization Needs – The highest need of man is to actualize himself, to achieve his full potential, to become all that he might be. This need is one that no one ever satisfies completely, partly because we are too busy trying to satisfy our lower needs.
If Dr. Maslow is correct, those are the things we are after. Our work, rest, play – whatever we do – is done in an effort to meet one or more of those needs.

书面表达参考答案
As we all know, many middle school students always have much to learn and many exams to pass. As a result, some students have to reduce their pressure by smoking. Some students learn to smoke only because they think smoking is modern and fashionable. Still some students try to attract others’ attention by smoking .To our surprise, some students can’t help following stars to smoke.
In my opinion, middle school students shouldn’t smoke. On the one hand, smoking does great harm to our health and even kills us coldly. On the other hand, smoking also costs us much money and affects our normal life. What’s worse, smoking can cause some students to do something against the law. I wish all the young smokers to stop smoking at once.

When I was 14, I was hired for an after-school job selling subscriptions（征订）to my hometown paper, the Houston Post. I was sent to some of the city’s worst neighborhoods to “beg” door to door. Even though I was often moving around with difficulty after dark in bad areas 36 for garage apartments, I was 37 for the work.
It was a 38 because people didn’t like a stranger knocking on their door, 39 a kid trying to get them to buy something.

第三部分:阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节（共17小题；每小题2分，满分34分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
When we can see well, we do not think about our eyes often. It is only when we can not see perfectly that we come to see how important our eyes are.
People who are nearsighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Many people who do a lot of close work, such as writing and reading, become nearsighted. Then they have to wear glasses in order to see distant things clearly.
People who are farsighted face just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses too.
Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts. Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.
When night falls, colors become fainter to the eyes and finally disappear. After your eyes have grown used to the dark, you can see better if you use the side of your eyes rather than the centers. Sometimes, after dark, you see a small thing to one side of you, which seems to disappear if you turn your head in its direction. This is because when you turn your head, you are looking? at the thing too directly. Men on guard duty sometimes think they see something moving to one side of them. When they turn to look straight at it, they can not see it any more, and they believe they were mistaken. However, this mistake happens because the center of the eye, which is very sensitive in daylight, is not as sensitive as the sides of the eye after dark.
56.We don’t know that our eyes are of great importance until ________.
A. we think about our eyes B. we cannot see clearly
C. we wear glasses D. we have to do much reading
57.According to the passage, a ________ is more likely to be nearsighted.
A.tailor B. doctor C. guard D.painter
58.People who are farsighted ________ .
A.cannot do a lot of close work without glasses
B.can only see things that are very close to their eyes
C.have difficulty reading a book if they hold it at arm’s length
D.have the same problem as the nearsighted people
59.To see a small thing at night, it is better to look ________ .
A.with wide open eyes B.with half shut or narrowed eyes
C.straight at it D.in a slightly different direction
B
Trees are useful to man in three important ways: they give him wood and other useful things, they give him cool places, and they help to stop drought and flood.
Unluckily, in many parts of the world, man has not found that the third of these points is the most important. Man wants to make money from trees,so he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had. And also, he is usually too careless to plant and look after new trees. So the forests slowly disappear.
This does not only mean that man will have fewer trees. The results are even worse: for where there are trees, their roots break up soil-make the rain in-and also bind the soil, thus stopping it from being washed away easily; but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away, causing floods and carrying away the rich top-soil. When all the top-soil is gone, nothing is left but useless desert.
60.The most important points of trees to man is ________.
A.they help him to make money B.they give him cool
C.they give him wood and other things D.they help him to stop drought and floods
61.In many places forests slowly disappear because ________ .
A.many trees have been cut down by man B.new trees are not well looked after
C.man has not paid enough attention to planting trees D.all the above
62.Land becomes desert after all trees are cut down because ________ .
A. roots of trees break up the soil B. there are too many rainfalls
C. strong winds bring a lot of sand
D. there are no longer trees to keep the rain and protect the top-soil.
63.Which title best fits the passage?
A.Trees and Man B.The Function of Tree Wood
C.How do People do with Trees? D.The Usage of Tree Roots
C
Laptop computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.
Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a ＄10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to “speak” with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees-anywhere at all!
Because of the many changes in computer technology , laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying? how laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too.
At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, “ Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we’re giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything.”
64.The main purpose of the laptop program is to give each student a laptop to ________.
A.use for their schoolwork B.access the Internet C.work at home D.connect them to libraries
65.Why is the word “speak” in the second paragraph in quotation marks(引号)?
A.They don’t really talk. B.They use the computer language.
C.Laptops have speakers. D.None of the above reasons is correct.
66.Which of the following is true about Westlake College?
A. All teachers use computers. B.1500 students have laptops.
C.It is an old college in America. D.Students there can do everything.
67. A window on the world? in the last paragraph means that students can ________.
A.attend lectures on information technology B.travel around the world
C.get information from around the world D.have free laptops
68.What can we infer from the passage?
A.The program is successful. B.The program is not workable.
C.The program is too expensive. D.We don’t know the result yet.
D
Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s. In the same way, children learning to do all the other things: they learn to do without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle, compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.
If it is a matter of right answer, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine(常规) work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, and how to know what they know or do not know.
69.According to the passage, the best way for children to learn things is by ________.
A.listening to skilled people’s advice B.asking older people many questions
C.making mistakes and having them corrected D.doing what other people do
70.Which of the following does the writer think teachers should NOT do?
A.Give children correct answers. B.Allow children to make mistakes.
C.Point out children’s mistakes to them. D.Let children mark their own work.
71.According to the writer, teachers in school should ________.
A.allow children to learn from each other B.point out children’s mistakes whenever found
C.give children more book knowledge D.correct children’s mistakes as soon as possible
72.The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are ________.
A.different from learning other skills B.the same as learning skills
C.more important than other skills D.not really important skills

Recently, in the hope of earning both money and social experience, I became a door-to-door salesman. I once read a saying: “ If somebody wants something of yours, you will be treated as warmly as spring, but if they don’t you may be treated as coldly as winter.” You may consider his an exaggeration, but if you are a salesman, it is clearly correct. You would never have found it to be so true if you hadn’t been a salesman. You needn’t stand doubtful looks and unfriendly comments; you needn’t listen to something completely wrong and nod to say that it was quite right; you needn’t always keep patience and a smile; you needn’t repeat the same sentences over again; you needn’t bear talking to somebody you disike… I did this work for a month; then I decided to give it up. Apart from the above reasons, I found I was paying too much attention to the job and thus lessening my study time. The latest test result proved that my grades were getting lower. Even worse, I had been sacrificing much time to join my classmates in college activities. Sometimes I felt lonely and unhappy because of both my study and my part-time job. Now I don’t think it is worth doing such a thing even though I was earning money at great cost.
Newspapers and magazines often publish stories about good students who do part- time work and keep high scores in class. But according to my experience, part- time work can have some strong bad effects on study. Most students don’t see the relationship between study and work in a correct way. In my opinion, if it isn’t must for financial reasons, students should be cautious about taking up a part- time job. In western countries even the children of very rich families take part in hard jobs during the summer vacation.

If people work to meet their needs, it would be good to know what these needs are. They are very simple. Dr. Maslow has suggested that people have only five needs. Every one has them, and everyone spends his or her life trying to satisfy them. Although we may try to satisfy our needs in different ways, we all are trying to satisfy the same needs. In a way, it is these needs, which are common to all people, that make us human. They seem to be a basic part of human nature.
The needs, which occur in the order shown below, can briefly be described as follows:
1．The Physiological Needs - Our needs for the things that keep our bodies alive- food, water, rest, air, elimination, etc. These needs come first. We must meet them or we will die.
2．The Safety Needs – First we need to stay alive, and then we need to be safe. There are two kinds of safety needs: the need to be physically safe and the need to be psychologically safe or secure.
3．The Belongingness Needs – Once we are alive and safe, we then try to satisfy our social need, a need to be with and accepted by other people. We discover our need for love.
4．The Esteem Needs – After our first three needs are fairly well met, we try to satisfy a fourth need. This is a need for recognition, respect, reputation. The need has two parts: self esteem (thinking well of ourselves ) and the esteem of others.
5．The self – actualization Needs – The highest need of man is to actualize himself, to achieve his full potential, to become all that he might be. This need is one that no one ever satisfies completely, partly because we are too busy trying to satisfy our lower needs.
If Dr. Maslow is correct, those are the things we are after. Our work, rest, play – whatever we do – is done in an effort to meet one or more of those needs.

书面表达参考答案
As we all know, many middle school students always have much to learn and many exams to pass. As a result, some students have to reduce their pressure by smoking. Some students learn to smoke only because they think smoking is modern and fashionable. Still some students try to attract others’ attention by smoking .To our surprise, some students can’t help following stars to smoke.
In my opinion, middle school students shouldn’t smoke. On the one hand, smoking does great harm to our health and even kills us coldly. On the other hand, smoking also costs us much money and affects our normal life. What’s worse, smoking can cause some students to do something against the law. I wish all the young smokers to stop smoking at once.
