阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中(A、B、C和 D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents’ home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register (收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.
I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend’s. We chatted on the way into the city，and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.
I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning, In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day, and the battery (电池) was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership—a shop selling cars—was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.
“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?” I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said.
“Thank you”—two powerful words. They’re easy to say and mean so much.
41. The author planned to stop at Oklahoma City ______.
A. to visit a friend B. to see his parents
C. to pay at the cash register D. to have more gas for his car
42. The words" took off' underlined in Paragraph 2 mean"_____”.
A. turned off B. moved off C. put up D. set up
43. What happened when the author found smoke coming out of his car?

C. The couple offered to help him. D. He called his friend for help.
44. The battery of the author's car was dead because .
A. something went wrong with the lights B. the meeting lasted a whole day
C. he forgot to turn off the lights D. he drove too long a distance
45. By telling his own experiences，the author tries to show ．
A. how to write a thank-you letter. B. how to deal with car problems．
C. the kind-heartedness of older people D. the importance of expressing thanks
B
Teaching Poetry
No poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed”, until it has been read aloud by someone, teachers or students. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it.
All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling “interpretation” of it, suggesting tone rhythm, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on film, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting it.
I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analyzing” it, if there isn’t time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is “a criticism of life”, and “a heightening（提升）of life”. It is “an approach to the truth of feeling”, and it “can save your life”. It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.
I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who don’t like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else. But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential (基本的) nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.
46. To have a better understanding of a poem, one should______.
A. discuss it with others B. analyze it by oneself
C. copy it down in a notebook D. practise reading it aloud
47. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a fun_ction of poetry?
A. Extending your life. B. Saving your life.
C. Criticizing life. D. Heightening life.
48. According to the writer, one of the purposes of teaching English is to get students_______.
A. to understand life B. to enjoy poetry
C. to become teachers D. to become poets
49. What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply?
A. More stress should be laid on the teaching of poetry.
B. Poetry is more important than any other subject.
C. One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry.
D. Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses.
50. The phrase “make room” in the last paragraph could be best replaced by ______．
A. “build a booth” B. “provide equipment”
C. “leave a certain amount of time” D. “set aside enough space”
C
Such chronic (慢性的) diseases as heart disease, stroke, cancer and lung disorders are the leading cause of death in the world. Yet health experts say these conditions are often the most preventable.
The World Health Organization (WHO) points out chronic diseases lead to about 17 million early deaths each year. The United Nations (UN) agency expects more than 380 million people to die of chronic diseases by 2015. About 80% of the deaths will happen in developing nations.
Chronic diseases now cause two-thirds of all deaths in the Asia-Pacific area. In ten years it could be almost three-fourths. People are getting sick in their most economically productive years. In fact, chronic diseases are killing more middle-aged people in poorer countries than in richer ones. The WHO estimates (估计) that chronic diseases will cost China alone more than 500,000 million dollars in the next ten years. That estimate represents the costs of medical treatment and lost productivity. Russia and India are also expected to face huge economic losses.
According to a WHO report, deaths from chronic diseases have increased largely as the result of economic gains in many countries. Until recently infectious and parasitic (寄生的) diseases have been the main killers in Asia and the Pacific but they are no longer the major cause of death in most countries.
As many as 80% of the deaths from chronic diseases could be prevented, health officials say. An important tool for governments is to limit the marketing of alcohol and tobacco to young people. Also, more programs are needed to urge healthy eating and more physical activity.
The UN aims to reduce chronic-disease deaths by 2% each year by international action through 2015, that’s to say, 36 million lives could be saved, including 25 million in Asia and the Pacific.
51. According to the passage, chronic diseases ________.
A. can be avoided B. can be preventable
C. will disappear C. are all deadly
52. In many countries, what’s mainly responsible for increasing deaths from chronic diseases?
A. The economic development. B. The poor living conditions.
C. Infectious and parasitic diseases. D. Young people’s bad habits.
53. This passage seems to stress that ________.
A. chronic diseases only happen in developing countries
B. developing countries suffer chronic diseases most
C. young people are addicted to alcohol and tobacco
D. no good measures can be found to prevent chronic diseases
54. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Most deaths are caused by chronic diseases in the world.
B. The middle-aged are becoming victims of chronic diseases in Asia.
C. Infectious and parasitic diseases are no longer death killers.
D. To reduce chronic-disease deaths needs worldwide efforts.
55. The best title for the passage would be “________”.
A. Different Measures to Fight Chronic Diseases
B. The WHO’s Report on Heath in Developing Countries
C. The UN: the Leader of International Community
D. Chronic Diseases: the World’s Leading Killer

During the 20th century the temperature of the earth rose about one degree Fahrenheit. That probably does not seem much to you or me, but it is a rapid increase when 66 to other natural changes. So how has this come 67 and does it matter? Earth Care’s Sophie Armstrong explores these questions.
????? There is no doubt 68 the earth is becoming warmer and that it is human activity that has caused this 69 warming rather than a random but natural phenomenon.
? ?? All scientists subscribe 70 the view that the increase in the earth’s temperature is due to the burning of fossil 71 like coal, natural gas and oil to produce energy. Some byproducts of this process are called “greenhouse” gases, the most important one of which is carbon dioxide. Dr Janice Foster explains: “There is a 72 phenomenon that scientists call the ‘greenhouse effect’. This is when small amounts of gases in the atmosphere, like carbon dioxide, methane (沼气) and water vapour, trap heat from the sun and therefore warm the earth. Without the ‘greenhouse effect’, the earth 73 be about thirty-three degrees Celsius cooler than it is. So, we need those gases. The problem begins when we add huge 74 of extra carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. It means that more heat energy tends to be trapped in the atmosphere causing the global temperature to go 75 ."
第三节：阅读表达 (共 5 小题，每小题2分，满分10分)
阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的词数要求)。
Learning to save money when you’re young is an important lesson. All good lessons and habits begin early, and saving is a skill that everyone needs. Many people — adults included — do not have a good sense of saving for the long run.
I have been lucky to learn this lesson early because I have had a grass-cutting business since I was 10 years old. Of the money I make I spend about 10% and save the other 90%.
Making sure you save and don’t spend too much is a good way to build up wealth. I have put my earnings in a bank. Many teens I know spend all the money they earn so it never has a chance to grow. Young people should realize that their teenage years are a great time to begin saving.
At high school many parents pay for almost everything, so your expenses can be small. If you have a job, you should have fun with some of the money. But you should also save some so that it will grow. Then you can begin planning for your future. When you spend money, you not only lose that money, but also lose the interest you could have earned by saving it.
After high school, college is expensive and then “real” life begins, with expenses such as food and rent. If you can hold onto a good percentage of the money you earn as a teen, going to college and buying a house will be much easier. ________________ you begin saving, the more time the money has to grow. If you are in your thirties without any savings, you will always have to struggle. The earlier you begin saving, the easier it is to create a nest egg.
Later in life it can be hard to start saving because general costs of living are more expensive and you may only have enough to pay your bills. If you want to buy a house and have a family, you need money to start with, which comes from saving.
Many say money cannot make you happy, and this is true. But money can help you to lead a secure (无忧虑的) life.
Saving early will mean you will have to work for fewer years when you are older. It will also allow you to spend time doing the things that you want to do.
In addition to this, it will mean you can live the way you want to without worrying.
76. What’s the best title of the passage? (Within 10 words)
________________________________________________________________________

As long as you save early, you’ll do less work to live well at your old age.
