As a saying goes, every bean has its black. It is impossible to make no mistakes all one’s life. My grandpa Nybakken, a carpenter, is no 36 . Several decades ago, he made a mistake – a（n） 37 mistake, though.
On a cold Saturday, Mother’s father was building some wooden cases for the clothes his 38 was sending to an orphanage（孤儿院）in China. On his way home, he 39 into his shirt pocket to find his glasses, but they were gone. He remembered putting them there that morning, so he drove back to the church. His search proved 40 .
When he 41 replayed his earlier actions, he realized what happened. The glasses had slipped out of his pocket unnoticed and fallen into one of the cases, which he had nailed shut. His brand new glasses, having 42 him $ 20 that very morning, were heading for China! He had to drive home 43 .
Several months later, the director of the orphanage came to give a speech on Sunday night at my grandfather’s church, 44 Grandpa and his family also attended.
“But most of all, ”he said, “I must thank you for the 45 you sent last year. You see, the bandits（土匪）had just 46 through the orphanage, destroying everything, including my glasses. I was desperate.”
“ 47 I had money, there was simply no way of 48 those glasses. Along with not being able to see well, I experienced headaches every day. Then your cases arrived. When my staff 49 the covers, they found a pair of glasses lying on top.”
Then, still gripped（吸收）with the 50 of it all, he continued: “Folks, when I tried 51 the glasses, it was as though they had been made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that!”
The people listened, 52 at the special glasses. But the director surely must have 53 their church with another, they thought. There were no glasses on their 54 of items to be sent overseas.
But sitting quietly in the back, with tears 55 down his face, an ordinary carpenter realized the Master Carpenter had used him in an extraordinary way.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40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。
A
Abby Subark is a mother of two kids from Boston. “For my kids, I’m nervous. I don’t know if they’ll be able to achieve their American dream.” She may be right. More than hard work or education, the best way to get rich in America is to be born rich.
It is the case that somebody who is in the upper third of income, with poor scores, at the bottom on tests when they are in eighth grade, is more likely to go to college and finish college than a poor kid with the top scores. That’s what the working persons’ children are up against.
The Economic Policy Institute finds it would take a poor couple with 2 children 9 or 10 generations to achieve middle class status. That’s about 200 years. The typical feature of American opportunity has always been the ability to do better than your parents. But compared with similar developed countries, the United States ranks fifth out of six for so-called intergenerational mobility (变动).
If you look at the mechanisms (机制) for upward mobility that were so readily available 50 years ago, they are becoming out of reach, like plentiful factory jobs with good wages and affordable education and health care.
White families are twice as likely as blacks to be upwardly mobile. For most people in America today, where you end up depends on where you start.
If you started in the middle – income class, about 40 to 45 percent of what you are making right now is due to the fact that your parents were in the middle – income class. The rest is up to you.
But for the millions of people who find themselves below the poverty line and the millions more who are the working poor, their starting point for the American dream leaves them painfully far away from the middle class.
56．The main idea of the passage is .
A．how the middle class comes about in the U.S.
B．it’s hard for poor Americans to realize their American dream
C．social status totally depends on family background
D．upward mobility in America has always been easy.
57．Which of the statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A．People used to have more opportunities for upward mobility.
B．A great many poor people can hardly realize their American dream.
C．You can make all your dreams come true in America if born rich.
D．Rich kids are more likely to go to college than poor kids.
58．The underlined sentence “where you end up depends on where you start” most probably means .
A．your starting point cannot determine your destination.
B．only a high goal can ensure success.
C．your birth had nothing to do with your fate
D．your family lays solid foundation for your future achievement
59．Why is Abby Subark nervous?
A．Her kids don’t like to compare with rich children.
B．Her kids don’t want to achieve success at all.
C．Her kids can achieve success through hard work and education.
D．Her kids cannot easily reach their goals.
60．What can we infer from the passage?
A．Poverty causes people much pain.
B．People below the poverty line can never be in the middle class.
C．Lower starting point makes it hard for people to realize their dream.
D．Poor people’s starting point is too low.
B
Human needs seem endless. When a hungry man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when a manager gets a new sports car, a big house and pleasure boats dance into view.
The many needs of mankind might be made up of several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of needs, another level appears.
The first and most basic level of needs involves food. Once this level is satisfied, the second level of needs, clothing and some sort of shelter, appears. By the end of World WarⅡ, these needs were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses.
By 1957 or 1958 this third level of needs was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s, a fourth level of needs appeared: the “life-enriching” level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction, that is, the feed in comfort, safety, and transportation, this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called “luxury” items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and recreation. Also included here are fancy goods and the latest fashions.
On the fourth level, a lot of money is spent on services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of needs as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?
A fifth level would probably involve needs that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime, and prejudice. After filling our stomachs, our clothes closets, our garages, our teeth and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.
61．Man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when he has .
A．saved up enough money
B．grown dissatisfied with his simple shelter
C．satisfied his need of food
D．learned to build houses
62．It can be inferred from the passage that by the end of World War II, most Americans .
A．were very confident B．lived in poverty
C．had their new houses D．did not own automobiles
63．Which of the following is NOT related to “physical satisfaction”?
A．Watching a football match. B． A comfortable home.
C．A good meal. D．A family car.
64．What is the people’s main concern on the fourth level?
A．More goods. B．More mental satisfaction.
C．Community action. D．More earnings.
65．The author tends to think that the fifth level .
A．would be easier to attain than the fourth level
B．would be more concerned with social services
C．would lose interest in “physical satisfaction”
D．would be attainable before the government takes actions
C
In recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive. Some experts claim the answer is to make jobs more varied. But do more varied jobs lead to greater productivity? There is evidence to suggest that while variety certainly makes workers’ life more enjoyable, it does not actually make them work harder. As far as increasing productivity is concerned, the variety is not an important factor. Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own way is important and there is no doubt that this is true. The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery which must be used in a fixed way. Thus while freedom of choice may be important, there is usually very little that can be done to creat it. Another important consideration is how much each worker contributes to the product he is making. In most factories the worker sees only one small part of the product. Some car factories are now experimenting with having many small production lines rather than one large one, so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line. It would seem that not only is degree of workers’ contribution an important factor, but it is also one we can do something about. To what extent more money lead to greater productivity? The workers themselves certainly think this important. But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring. Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A similar argument may explain demands for shorter working hours. Perhaps if we succeed in making their jobs more enjoyable, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them.
66．Which of the following is not mentioned as a factor leading to greater productivity?
A．Making jobs more varied.
B．More money and shorter working hours.
C．Degrees of work contribution.
D．Modern and complicated machinery.
67．According to the passage, workers want more money because .
A．their jobs are very boring B．they can enjoy more freedom
C．it makes their jobs more interesting D．they want shorter working hours
68．If we succeed in making workers’ job more interesting, .
A．they will want more money
B．they will demand shorter working hours
C．they will ask for more money and shorter working hours
D．more money and shorter working hours will not be so concerned
69．In this passage, the author tries to tell us .
A．how to make workers more comfortable
B．possible factors leading to greater productivity
C．more money leads to greater productivity
D．how to make workers’ jobs more interesting
70．The author of this passage is probably a .
A．teacher B．worker C．manager D．physicist
D
Drug Reactions – A Major Cause of Death
Adverse（不良的）drug reactions may cause the deaths of over 100,000 US hospital patients each year, making them a leading cause of death nationwide, according to a report in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
“The incidence （发生率）of serious and fatal adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in US hospital was found to be extremely high,” say researchers at the University of Toronto in Ontario, Canada.
They carried on an analysis of 39 ADR-related studies at US hospitals over the past 30 years and defined as ADR as “any harmful, unintended, and undesired effect of a drug which occurs at doses used in humans for prevention, diagnosis, or therapy（治疗）.”
An average of 6.7% of all hospitalized patients experience an ADR every year, according to the researchers. They estimate that “in 1994, overall 2,216, 000 hospitalized patients had serious ADRs, and 106,000 had fatal ADRs.” This means that ADRs may rank as the fourth single largest cause of death in America.
And these incidence figures are probably conservative, the researchers add, since their ADR definition did not include outcomes linked to problems in drug administration, overdoses, drug abuse, and therapeutic failures.
The control of ADRs also means spending more money. One US study estimated the overall cost of treating ADRs at up to $4 billion per year.
Dr. David Bates of Brigham and women’s hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, believes that healthcare workers need to pay more attention to the problem, especially since many ADRs are easily preventable. “When a patient develops an allergy or sensitivity, it is often not recorded, ” Bates notes,” and patients receive drug to which they have known allergies or sensitivities with disturbing frequency.” He believes computerized surveillance(监视)systems–still works – in – progress at many of the nation’s hospitals – should help cut down the frequency of these types of errors.
71．Researchers at the University of Toronto believes that .
A．ADRs have caused medical problems, though they seldom lead to death.
B．ADRs have very often caused patients to die in Canada.
C．ADRs have caused many deaths in America over the past 30 years.
D．it is easy to prevent ADRs from happening.
72．According to the passage, about 7 out of 100 hospitalized patients in America .
A．die of ADRs each year B．never experience ADRs each year
C．suffer from ADRs each year D．have fatal ADRs each year
73．Adverse drug reactions might include .
A．an allergy to a certain drug B．drug abuse
C．problems in drug administration D．therapeutic failures
74．The underlined word “conservative” in the 5th paragraph possible means .
A．very exact B．too high C．underestimates D．too low
75．According to Dr David Bates, hospitals in America .
A．are not paying enough attention to possibilities of ADRs happenings
B．have never tried to use computers to prevent ADRs from happening
C．shouldn’t use those drugs which will cause side effects to their patients
D．should know that many ADRs are not easily preventable

I’m Li Hua, a senior three student in Guangming middle school. Lu Ya is my classmates and she’s my good friend. I was always better in studies than her, so I often helped her with her lessons. In the last examination, Lu Ya made great progress and did better than me. She was very happy and very grateful to me. I feel very happy too, but at the same time a bit jealous.
After a few days’ reflection. I have made up my mind to work harder and try my best to catch up as quickly as possibly. Better though she has been this time, I am still willing to help her anytime when necessary, and I will ask her for help if I need. In my view, cooperation plays an important role in our studies. In this way we can get better improved and realize out dreams.

Now let’s go on with the topic about “My Interests”. When my interest changed from space to the sea, I never expected that my friends would be so surprised and puzzled. Yet I can understand their feelings. As I have been writing and talking about space flight for the best part of 20 years, a sudden switch of interest to the depth of the sea does seem rather strange. To explain, I’d like to share my reasons behind this unusual change of mind. The first excuse I give is an economic one. Underwater exploration is so much cheaper than space flight. The first round-trip ticket to the moon is going to cost at least 10 billion dollars if you include research and development. By the end of this century, the cost will be down to a few million. On the other hand, the diving suit and a set of basic tools needed for skin – diving can be bought for 20 dollars. My second argument is more philosophical. The ocean, surprisingly enough, has many things in common with space. In their different ways, both sea and space are equally hostile environment. If we wish to survive in either for any length of time, we need to have special equipment. The diving suit helped the design of the space suit. The feelings and the emotions of a man in the deep sea will be much like those of a man out in space.

As a saying goes, every bean has its black. It is impossible to make no mistakes all one’s life. My grandpa Nybakken, a carpenter, is no 36 . Several decades ago, he made a mistake – a（n） 37 mistake, though.
On a cold Saturday, Mother’s father was building some wooden cases for the clothes his 38 was sending to an orphanage（孤儿院）in China. On his way home, he 39 into his shirt pocket to find his glasses, but they were gone. He remembered putting them there that morning, so he drove back to the church. His search proved 40 .
When he 41 replayed his earlier actions, he realized what happened. The glasses had slipped out of his pocket unnoticed and fallen into one of the cases, which he had nailed shut. His brand new glasses, having 42 him $ 20 that very morning, were heading for China! He had to drive home 43 .
Several months later, the director of the orphanage came to give a speech on Sunday night at my grandfather’s church, 44 Grandpa and his family also attended.
“But most of all, ”he said, “I must thank you for the 45 you sent last year. You see, the bandits（土匪）had just 46 through the orphanage, destroying everything, including my glasses. I was desperate.”
“ 47 I had money, there was simply no way of 48 those glasses. Along with not being able to see well, I experienced headaches every day. Then your cases arrived. When my staff 49 the covers, they found a pair of glasses lying on top.”
Then, still gripped（吸收）with the 50 of it all, he continued: “Folks, when I tried 51 the glasses, it was as though they had been made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that!”
The people listened, 52 at the special glasses. But the director surely must have 53 their church with another, they thought. There were no glasses on their 54 of items to be sent overseas.
But sitting quietly in the back, with tears 55 down his face, an ordinary carpenter realized the Master Carpenter had used him in an extraordinary way.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40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。
A
Abby Subark is a mother of two kids from Boston. “For my kids, I’m nervous. I don’t know if they’ll be able to achieve their American dream.” She may be right. More than hard work or education, the best way to get rich in America is to be born rich.
It is the case that somebody who is in the upper third of income, with poor scores, at the bottom on tests when they are in eighth grade, is more likely to go to college and finish college than a poor kid with the top scores. That’s what the working persons’ children are up against.
The Economic Policy Institute finds it would take a poor couple with 2 children 9 or 10 generations to achieve middle class status. That’s about 200 years. The typical feature of American opportunity has always been the ability to do better than your parents. But compared with similar developed countries, the United States ranks fifth out of six for so-called intergenerational mobility (变动).
If you look at the mechanisms (机制) for upward mobility that were so readily available 50 years ago, they are becoming out of reach, like plentiful factory jobs with good wages and affordable education and health care.
White families are twice as likely as blacks to be upwardly mobile. For most people in America today, where you end up depends on where you start.
If you started in the middle – income class, about 40 to 45 percent of what you are making right now is due to the fact that your parents were in the middle – income class. The rest is up to you.
But for the millions of people who find themselves below the poverty line and the millions more who are the working poor, their starting point for the American dream leaves them painfully far away from the middle class.
56．The main idea of the passage is .
A．how the middle class comes about in the U.S.
B．it’s hard for poor Americans to realize their American dream
C．social status totally depends on family background
D．upward mobility in America has always been easy.
57．Which of the statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A．People used to have more opportunities for upward mobility.
B．A great many poor people can hardly realize their American dream.
C．You can make all your dreams come true in America if born rich.
D．Rich kids are more likely to go to college than poor kids.
58．The underlined sentence “where you end up depends on where you start” most probably means .
A．your starting point cannot determine your destination.
B．only a high goal can ensure success.
C．your birth had nothing to do with your fate
D．your family lays solid foundation for your future achievement
59．Why is Abby Subark nervous?
A．Her kids don’t like to compare with rich children.
B．Her kids don’t want to achieve success at all.
C．Her kids can achieve success through hard work and education.
D．Her kids cannot easily reach their goals.
60．What can we infer from the passage?
A．Poverty causes people much pain.
B．People below the poverty line can never be in the middle class.
C．Lower starting point makes it hard for people to realize their dream.
D．Poor people’s starting point is too low.
B
Human needs seem endless. When a hungry man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when a manager gets a new sports car, a big house and pleasure boats dance into view.
The many needs of mankind might be made up of several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of needs, another level appears.
The first and most basic level of needs involves food. Once this level is satisfied, the second level of needs, clothing and some sort of shelter, appears. By the end of World WarⅡ, these needs were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses.
By 1957 or 1958 this third level of needs was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s, a fourth level of needs appeared: the “life-enriching” level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction, that is, the feed in comfort, safety, and transportation, this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called “luxury” items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and recreation. Also included here are fancy goods and the latest fashions.
On the fourth level, a lot of money is spent on services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of needs as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?
A fifth level would probably involve needs that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime, and prejudice. After filling our stomachs, our clothes closets, our garages, our teeth and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.
61．Man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when he has .
A．saved up enough money
B．grown dissatisfied with his simple shelter
C．satisfied his need of food
D．learned to build houses
62．It can be inferred from the passage that by the end of World War II, most Americans .
A．were very confident B．lived in poverty
C．had their new houses D．did not own automobiles
63．Which of the following is NOT related to “physical satisfaction”?
A．Watching a football match. B． A comfortable home.
C．A good meal. D．A family car.
64．What is the people’s main concern on the fourth level?
A．More goods. B．More mental satisfaction.
C．Community action. D．More earnings.
65．The author tends to think that the fifth level .
A．would be easier to attain than the fourth level
B．would be more concerned with social services
C．would lose interest in “physical satisfaction”
D．would be attainable before the government takes actions
C
In recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive. Some experts claim the answer is to make jobs more varied. But do more varied jobs lead to greater productivity? There is evidence to suggest that while variety certainly makes workers’ life more enjoyable, it does not actually make them work harder. As far as increasing productivity is concerned, the variety is not an important factor. Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own way is important and there is no doubt that this is true. The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery which must be used in a fixed way. Thus while freedom of choice may be important, there is usually very little that can be done to creat it. Another important consideration is how much each worker contributes to the product he is making. In most factories the worker sees only one small part of the product. Some car factories are now experimenting with having many small production lines rather than one large one, so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line. It would seem that not only is degree of workers’ contribution an important factor, but it is also one we can do something about. To what extent more money lead to greater productivity? The workers themselves certainly think this important. But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring. Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A similar argument may explain demands for shorter working hours. Perhaps if we succeed in making their jobs more enjoyable, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them.
66．Which of the following is not mentioned as a factor leading to greater productivity?
A．Making jobs more varied.
B．More money and shorter working hours.
C．Degrees of work contribution.
D．Modern and complicated machinery.
67．According to the passage, workers want more money because .
A．their jobs are very boring B．they can enjoy more freedom
C．it makes their jobs more interesting D．they want shorter working hours
68．If we succeed in making workers’ job more interesting, .
A．they will want more money
B．they will demand shorter working hours
C．they will ask for more money and shorter working hours
D．more money and shorter working hours will not be so concerned
69．In this passage, the author tries to tell us .
A．how to make workers more comfortable
B．possible factors leading to greater productivity
C．more money leads to greater productivity
D．how to make workers’ jobs more interesting
70．The author of this passage is probably a .
A．teacher B．worker C．manager D．physicist
D
Drug Reactions – A Major Cause of Death
Adverse（不良的）drug reactions may cause the deaths of over 100,000 US hospital patients each year, making them a leading cause of death nationwide, according to a report in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
“The incidence （发生率）of serious and fatal adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in US hospital was found to be extremely high,” say researchers at the University of Toronto in Ontario, Canada.
They carried on an analysis of 39 ADR-related studies at US hospitals over the past 30 years and defined as ADR as “any harmful, unintended, and undesired effect of a drug which occurs at doses used in humans for prevention, diagnosis, or therapy（治疗）.”
An average of 6.7% of all hospitalized patients experience an ADR every year, according to the researchers. They estimate that “in 1994, overall 2,216, 000 hospitalized patients had serious ADRs, and 106,000 had fatal ADRs.” This means that ADRs may rank as the fourth single largest cause of death in America.
And these incidence figures are probably conservative, the researchers add, since their ADR definition did not include outcomes linked to problems in drug administration, overdoses, drug abuse, and therapeutic failures.
The control of ADRs also means spending more money. One US study estimated the overall cost of treating ADRs at up to $4 billion per year.
Dr. David Bates of Brigham and women’s hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, believes that healthcare workers need to pay more attention to the problem, especially since many ADRs are easily preventable. “When a patient develops an allergy or sensitivity, it is often not recorded, ” Bates notes,” and patients receive drug to which they have known allergies or sensitivities with disturbing frequency.” He believes computerized surveillance(监视)systems–still works – in – progress at many of the nation’s hospitals – should help cut down the frequency of these types of errors.
71．Researchers at the University of Toronto believes that .
A．ADRs have caused medical problems, though they seldom lead to death.
B．ADRs have very often caused patients to die in Canada.
C．ADRs have caused many deaths in America over the past 30 years.
D．it is easy to prevent ADRs from happening.
72．According to the passage, about 7 out of 100 hospitalized patients in America .
A．die of ADRs each year B．never experience ADRs each year
C．suffer from ADRs each year D．have fatal ADRs each year
73．Adverse drug reactions might include .
A．an allergy to a certain drug B．drug abuse
C．problems in drug administration D．therapeutic failures
74．The underlined word “conservative” in the 5th paragraph possible means .
A．very exact B．too high C．underestimates D．too low
75．According to Dr David Bates, hospitals in America .
A．are not paying enough attention to possibilities of ADRs happenings
B．have never tried to use computers to prevent ADRs from happening
C．shouldn’t use those drugs which will cause side effects to their patients
D．should know that many ADRs are not easily preventable

One possible version:
I’m Li Hua, a senior three student in Guangming middle school. Lu Ya is my classmates and she’s my good friend. I was always better in studies than her, so I often helped her with her lessons. In the last examination, Lu Ya made great progress and did better than me. She was very happy and very grateful to me. I feel very happy too, but at the same time a bit jealous.
After a few days’ reflection. I have made up my mind to work harder and try my best to catch up as quickly as possibly. Better though she has been this time, I am still willing to help her anytime when necessary, and I will ask her for help if I need. In my view, cooperation plays an important role in our studies. In this way we can get better improved and realize out dreams.

Now let’s go on with the topic about “My Interests”. When my interest changed from space to the sea, I never expected that my friends would be so surprised and puzzled. Yet I can understand their feelings. As I have been writing and talking about space flight for the best part of 20 years, a sudden switch of interest to the depth of the sea does seem rather strange. To explain, I’d like to share my reasons behind this unusual change of mind. The first excuse I give is an economic one. Underwater exploration is so much cheaper than space flight. The first round-trip ticket to the moon is going to cost at least 10 billion dollars if you include research and development. By the end of this century, the cost will be down to a few million. On the other hand, the diving suit and a set of basic tools needed for skin – diving can be bought for 20 dollars. My second argument is more philosophical. The ocean, surprisingly enough, has many things in common with space. In their different ways, both sea and space are equally hostile environment. If we wish to survive in either for any length of time, we need to have special equipment. The diving suit helped the design of the space suit. The feelings and the emotions of a man in the deep sea will be much like those of a man out in space.
