There was a kind of special blue flower that had always caught my eye along the highway I traveled daily to work by car. I’d noticed that they bloomed(开花) only in the 16 hours — the afternoon sun was too strong for them. This spring, I 17 a wildflower garden in our yard. I can 18 out of the kitchen window while doing the 19 and see the flowers. I’ve often thought that those 20 blue flowers from the ditch (沟) would 21 great in our garden alongside other wildflowers. Every day I 22 past the flowers thinking, “I’ll stop on my way home and 23 them.” “Gee, I don’t want to get my good clothes 24 ...” Whatever the reason was, I 25 stopped to dig them. My husband even gave me a shovel (铲子) in the car to be used for that 26 .
One day on my way home from work, I was 27 to see that the highway department had mowed (除草) the ditches and the pretty blue flowers were 28 . I thought to myself, “You 29 too long and missed the good chance. You should have done it when you 30 saw them blooming this spring.”
A week ago we were 31 to learn that my husband’s sister has a brain tumor (肿瘤). She is 20 years older than my husband and unfortunately, because of 32 and distance, we haven’t been as close as we all would have liked. I couldn’t 33 but see the connection between the pretty blue flowers and the 34 between my husband’s sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time 35 to plant some wonderful memories that will bloom every year for us.

第三节：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）
A★
“Europe and Japan are now facing a population problem that is unprecedented (前所未有的) in human history — declining population over time with an increase in the percentage of old people,” said Bill Butz, president of the Population Reference Bureau.
Countries have lost people because of wars, diseases and natural disasters but never — at least in modern history — because women stopped having enough children, Butz said.
The U.S. is the fastest growing industrialized nation in the world, adding about 2.8 million people a year. That’s a little less than 1 percent, but enough to mitigate (缓解) the kinds of problems facing Japan and many European countries.
Europe, with 728 million people, saw its population shrink by 74,000 since the beginning of the decade, according to the United Nations. By 2050, it is projected to lose a total of 75 million people.
The problem is that birth rates are so low that there aren’t enough young people entering the work force to support an aging population, said Hans Peter Kohler, an associate professor of sociology at the University of Pennsylvania.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is so concerned that he recently proposed paying women to have children. Last year, France increased monthly stipends (津贴) to parents who take time off work to care for a third child.
When Japan announced in June that its population had shrunk in 2005 for the first time, Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi said, “The data must be accepted seriously.”
On Friday, Japan announced that it is now the world’s most elderly nation, with more than a fifth of its people 65 or older. Italy is the second.
36. The underlined word in the fourth paragraph can be replaced by _____.
A. increase B. rise C. expand D. decrease
37. Which is NOT a reason for a country’s declining of population
A. Suffering from natural disasters.
B. Women’s stopping to have enough children.
C. Being at war with other countries. D. The attack by certain diseases.
38. Russia and France are used as examples in the sixth paragraph to show that _____.
A. they are trying to increase birthrate B. the problem will never be solved
C. they are very rich countries D. women in those countries are luckier
39. Which of the following best describes the problem mentioned in the passage
A. There are more old people and fewer young people in the work force.
B. There are more young people and fewer old people in the work force.
C. European countries and Japan have lost people because of wars.
D. Women are losing the ability to give birth to children.
B★
The “only child” generation is coming of age, as they become parents, according to a recent survey. The young parents tend to be better prepared for raising their children than older generations, despite previously having been criticized as “little emperors and queens” during their childhood, an expert says.
The survey, conducted by the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, found some 40 per cent of 1,800 young parents aged 20 to 40 are the only child in their families. The figure is expected to reach a peak in the next five to six years, as a census（人口普查） in 1982 indicated that more than 81 per cent of children born that year are the only child at home.
“Differences are obvious in many aspects between only-child parents (OCP) and non-only-child parents (NOCP),” said Bao Leiping, a doctor with the Institute of Youth and Juvenile Studies under the social sciences academy.
Approximately 17 per cent of OCPs preferred a career when asked to choose between a career and children. The figure for NOCPs is about 11 percent. “The only-child-turned parents put more emphasis on themselves than NOCPs, and are more dependent,” said Bao.
More than 45 per cent of OCPs live with their parents compared with 28 percent among NOCPs. “The grandparents shoulder a lot of responsibilities for OCPs, which allows them more time and energy to explore new ways to educate their babies,” she said.
Some 46 per cent of OCPs have used the Internet to search for information about education, 7.2 per cent higher than NOCPs. In addition, OCPs put more emphasis on educating their children on values, manners and social conduct.
40. Which of the following is mainly discussed in the passage above
A. The only-child generation problem.
B. How to raise children of the only-child generation.
C. Differences between OCPs and NOCPs.
D. Little emperors and queens.
41. How many young parents in the survey are the only child
A. 1800. B. 800. C. 1982. D. 720.
42. We can infer from the passage that _____.
A. the number of OCPs will rise in the future
B. the number of OCPs will drop in the future
C. the OCPs are not quite ready for raising their young
D. more NOCPs prefer doing a job to raising children
C★★
What is the color of the universe Astronomers had not answered this question until two months ago. That is when two American astronomers reported on their study of all the light in the universe. They said that the universe would appear to the human eye to be a light greenish color, called turquoise（青绿色）.
Karl Glazebrook and Ivan Baldry of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, reported their finding in January. They presented the research at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society. They said that finding the color of the universe was not part of their serious scientific research. They did it for fun.
However, earlier this month, the scientists admitted to making a mistake. They said their finding was much more colorful than it should have been. They now say the light from our universe is closer to white. It is more like a milky or creamy white color.
Their study attempted to show what people might see if they could observe the universe from far away. The scientists found the average color by combining light from about two-hundred-thousand star systems. Their information came from an observatory in New South Wales, Australia.
These scientists and color engineers attempted to reproduce the result. Mark Fairchild of the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York was the first person to identify a mistake. He discovered a mistake in the computer software program used by the Johns Hopkins scientists.
When the mistake was corrected, the results changed. The new color of the universe is much less colorful. It is very close to white. The scientists have apologized for the mistake. They are now working with the Rochester Institute of Technology to produce more images of the color of the universe. They also asked for suggestions for a name for the new color of the universe.
43. The best title of the passage should be _____.
A. Research made by two astronauts B. The color of the universe
C. Mistakes made by scientists D. A mistake in the computer
44. Which of the following people recognized the mistake first
A. Karl Glazebrook. B. Ivan Baldry.
C. Johns Hopkins. D. Mark Fairchild.
45. Which of the following was NOT TRUE about the color of the universe
A. It was once considered close to green.
B. It was finally discovered close to white.
C. It is called turquoise now. D. It appears milky or creamy.
46. If we divide the passage into two parts, where can we draw the dividing line
A. Between the 3rd and the 4th paragraph.
B. Between the 2nd and the 3rd paragraph.
C. Between the 4th and the 5th paragraph.
D. Between the 5th and the 6th paragraph.

George Washington, the “Father of America”, was born on February 22, 1732, in Westmoreland County, Virginia. His father died when George was eleven and he did not attend school regularly, but he acquired basic reading, writing, and mathematics skills. He did not attend university. When he was 16, George moved to Lawrence’s estate, Mount Vernon, and ten years later, he married a young widow, Martha, and adopted her two children. Washington had no children of his own.
George received his first military appointment as a major in the militia（民兵队伍） during the French and Indian War (1754). In 1758 Washington was elected to the House of Burgesses and expressed his opposition to Britain’s unfair taxes and land laws. He was active in resisting British rule. When the Revolutionary War began (1775) the Continental Congress asked George Washington to be the commander in chief of the Continental army.
With a force of about 10,000 men, he faced a difficult winter (1777-1778) at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. They had little food and were poorly clothed. Those who survived until spring were pleased to learn that France had recognized America’s independence. With aid from France, the troops were able to trap the main British force at Yorktown (1781). After the war, Washington returned home to Mount Vernon.
George Washington was a member of the Federalist Party, believing in a strong central American government. His popularity caused him to be elected president of the Constitutional Convention in 1787, and in 1789 he became the first president of the United States. He was elected to a second term, with John Adams serving as vice president. He refused to run for a third term as president.
He died on December 14, 1799, of a throat infection brought on by several hours outside in a freezing rain. He is buried in the family tomb at Mount Vernon.
47. The underlined word in the second paragraph means _____.
A. interview B. job C. date D. application

“Buy - A - Something” Campaign
One way to request for general donations is to tie it into a campaign like “Buy - A - Brick to Help Build a School in Bolivia”. Make sure you have some literature to give people as well as a registration form that includes name, address, and how many bricks the person purchased.
University Funds
If you are a student, one major source of funding is your own college or university. Many school clubs can raise a certain amount of funds through student activities. See if your club is suitable.
Letter Writing
One of the most effective ways of raising money is to do a letter campaign to as many relatives, friends, former teachers, etc. as possible.

Parties, Dances, Music
Use the “Who Do You Know” principle. Do you have a friend in a band Do you know the owner of a bar or a restaurant Some simple events include having a band play at a club, and your group gets the cover charge or a percentage of the drink sales.
Exhibitions — This is limited to people with professional art genius. If you are an artist, you can ask friends to help you hold exhibitions and donate your profit to charity or give people who need financial help.
Sales — One of the traditional ways to raise money is through bake sales, candy sales, flower sales, etc. Some sales such as candy sales cost money. Often sales can be associated with holidays — pumpkins for Halloween or flowers for Valentine’s Day.

第四节 任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意：每个空格只填1个单词。
If your family is like many in the United States, unloading the week’s groceries includes hauling a case or two of bottled water into your home. On your way to a soccer game or activity, it’s easy to grab a cold one right out of the fridge, right
But all those plastic bottles use a lot of fossil fuels and pollute the environment. In fact, Americans buy more bottled water than any other nation in the world, adding 29 billion water bottles a year to the problem. In order to make all these bottles, manufacturers use 17 million barrels of crude oil. That’s enough oil to keep a million cars going for twelve months.
Imagine a water bottle filled a quarter of the way up with oil. That’s about how much oil was needed to produce the bottle.
　　So why don’t more people drink water straight from the kitchen faucet Some people drink bottled water because they think it is better for them than water out of the tap, but that’s not true. In the United States, local governments make sure water from the faucet is safe. There is also growing concern that chemicals in the bottles themselves may leach into the water.
People love the convenience of bottled water. But maybe if they realized the problems it causes, they would try drinking from a glass at home or carrying water in a refillable steel container instead of plastic.
　　Plastic bottle recycling can help—instead of going out with the trash, plastic bottles can be turned into items like carpeting or cozy fleece clothing.
　　Unfortunately, for every six water bottles we use, only one makes it to the recycling bin. The rest are sent to landfills. Or, even worse, they end up as trash on the land and in rivers, lakes, and the ocean. Plastic bottles take many hundreds of years to disintegrate.
Water is good for you, so keep drinking it. But think about how often you use water bottles, and see if you can make a change.
Betty McLaughlin, who runs an organization called the Container Recycling Institute, says we should try using fewer bottles: “If you take one to school in your lunch, don’t throw it away—bring it home and refill it from the tap for the next day. Keep track of how many times you refill a bottle before you recycle it.”
And yes, you can make a difference. Remember this: Recycling one plastic bottle can save enough energy to power a 60-watt light bulb for six hours.
Drinking Water: Bottled or From the Tap

(58) for people’s preference for bottled water Bottled water is of higher (59) .

Great Changes
The activity of being a good student and good citizen has been held since the beginning of this term in our school. Everybody has taken an active part in it. In the past, we didn’t have the habit of keeping our classroom tidy and even threw waste here and there. We even weren’t polite enough to our teachers and sometimes forgot to greet them. While doing shopping or waiting for a bus, some of us jumped the queue instead of obeying the rules.
But now everyone is willing to do cleaning and to sort the waste before throwing it into dustbins. Everybody shows great respect for our teachers and sometimes helps them with something. In public places, we try to wait in line and offer our seats to the old on the bus.
What great changes have taken place! We do hope every student can keep it up.
