Wen Jiabao is the premier of the world’s most populous(人口众多) country. But, millions of people would rather call him “grandpa”. Always in plain jackets, he seems an ordinary old man with a kind smile.
Wen has visited the “left behind” children before Children’s Day. He visited Yang Saike’s home, a primary schoolboy in a village of Xingping County, Shanxi. Yang’s parents were working in Fujian, thousands of kilometers away. He was cared for by his grandparents. His parents fail to go home even once a year. The premier held Yang in his arms and looked through his exercise book, then praised him for his hard work. Wen talked with many children and asked them many questions about their schooling and life. The premier asked the local governments to do something to protect and care for such children at home and let their parents in cities not worry about their children.
But in the face of disasters, he has the power to pull together the whole country. About two hours after the deadly earthquake hit Sichuan Province, Premier Wen Jiabao was on a plane to the disaster area. Within two days, he had seen almost all the worst hit cities and towns. The 65 year old man was seen climbing over damaged buildings to encourage the trapped kids. And he shed(流泪) tears with sad families and promised to help rebuild their homes.
Millions of Chinese were moved. “They are always at the front of the premier’s mind. From now on I’m a fan of the man of our people.” Said an online post.

Ⅱ. 阅读理解
Most American students have said goodbye to fancy(高档的) fruits these days.
In school canteens across the country, cheaper fruits like apples and oranges have taken their place. “People are afraid to spend now，” said Linda Morrow, who owns a shoe and handbag store. “They don’t know what the future will bring.”
During the financial crisis(金融危机), several of the country’s biggest banks have been forced to sell or close. This has made lots of Americans afraid to buy expensive goods. Samira Marino, a restaurant owner in Miami, has found everyone is ordering water instead of juice and more people are sharing meals.
In more than two dozen interviews with The Associated Press across the country last month, Americans talked about their concerns,_from worries about small businesses to doubts(怀疑) about simply making ends meet(维持生计)．
The crisis began last year. Experts think it was because US banks lend money too easily. Last year a lot of people and companies, who borrowed money, have found themselves unable to pay it back. This left the banks, as well as the people who put their money in the banks, without money. Since the banks borrowed money between themselves and even across borders(国界), the whole world was in trouble. This month the US government agreed on a $700 billion plan to try to save the financial market. But no one is sure whether it will help or not. President George W. Bush has warned it will take some time. Last week top finance officials from 20 countries promised to work together to find a way out of the money trouble.
( )1. Why are people in the US afraid to spend
A. Because they think it’s unnecessary.
B. Because they don’t have the habit of spending money.
C. Because they worry about their future.
D. Because they don’t have enough money.
( )2. The underlined word “concerns” mainly ________.
A. worries B. conditions
C. hobbies D. experiences
( )3. The fifth paragraph mainly ________.
A. tells what it is like in a crisis
B. explain why there is a crisis
C. warns people of the danger of the crisis
D. asks people not to borrow money from banks
( )4. People feel ________ about the US plan to save the market.
A. satisfied B. doubtful
C. hobbies D. angry
( )5. The best title for the story is ________.
A. Ways to Make Ends Meet
B. The Money Problem Facing the World
C. Healthy Fancy Fruits
D. The Art of Borrowing
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了美国经济危机给人们带来的影响以及人们对未来的担忧。
1. C。推理判断题。根据文章第二段“They don’t know what the future will bring.”可知他们对未来感到担忧。
2. A。词义猜测题。根据文章第四段“...from worries about small businesses to doubts about simply making ends meet.”可知美国人从担忧小生意到后来开始怀疑维持生计。这里解释说明了concerns，即指“担心”。
3. B。归纳概括题。本段主要介绍了美国金融危机产生的原因。
4. B。细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“This month the US government agreed on a $700 billion plan to try to save the financial market. But no one is sure whether it will help or not.”可知人们对于美国政府的这一举措感到怀疑。
5. B。归纳概括题。本文主要讲述了美国的金融危机给人们生活带来的严重影响，故选B。
Ⅲ.书面表达

Ⅱ.阅读理解
Sophie was ten years old and loved to draw. Sometimes she even drew on her way to school.
Sophie liked to draw strange things. She drew pictures of wild green dragons and castles and monsters! She also drew normal things: her house, her dog, her school. She even drew her teachers.
One day Sophie arrived late at school.
“Why are you late, Sophie？” asked her teacher.
“I’m sorry, Miss, I was drawing the big house on the way to school. I forgot about the time.”
“Oh, Sophie，” said her teacher. “You_must_think_less_about_your_drawing_and_more_about_school. Can you give me your homework now please？”
“I’m sorry, Miss, I don’t have it.”
“Why not, Sophie？”
“Yesterday I was in town. I saw a man running down the road. He had an interesting face so I drew him.”
The teacher gave Sophie a strange look. “But Sophie, there was a bank robbery in town yesterday...”
“Perhaps that was the man I saw，” said Sophie. “Perhaps I have drawn a picture of the robber！”
After school, Sophie went to the police station. She showed her picture to a policeman.
“Where did you get this picture？” asked the policeman.
“I drew it，” said Sophie. “I drew it yesterday in town.”
“This is a picture of Ronnie the Robber，” cried the policeman. “So Ronnie robbed the bank! Thank you Sophie. Now we can arrest him.”
( )1. What do you think of Sophie
A. She worked hard at school.
B. She was interested in nothing except drawing.
C. She wanted to be a policewoman when she grew up.
D. She didn’t like school.
( )2. Sophie was late for school because ________.
A. she got up late
B. she lived far away from the school
C. she drew a house and forgot the time
D. she drew a man with an interesting face
( )3. What did the teacher mean by the underlined sentence
A. You should spend less time in drawing and work harder at school.
B. You should stop drawing and try your best to learn your lessons.
C. You should stop thinking about drawing and begin to study.
D. You should work hard at drawing so that you could be an artist.
( )4. Sophie drew a picture of a man because ________.
A. she wanted to give it to the police
B. she thought his face was interesting
C. she didn’t want to do her homework
D. she knew he was a robber
( )5. What would happen next
A. From then on Sophie stopped drawing and worked hard at her subjects.
B. From then on, Sophie didn’t go to school. She drew people on the road all the time.
C. The next day, the teacher was angry with Sophie because she was late again.
D. A week later the policeman wrote a letter to Sophie’s school and praised(表扬)her.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。十岁的孩子Sophie喜欢画画，一次巧合她画的画帮助警方捉住了一个罪犯。
1. B。细节理解题。短文首句说：Sophie was ten years old and loved to draw. 然后又说她总是画画。由此可知，她对绘画很感兴趣，与B项意思一致。
2. C。细节理解题。短文第四段和第五段提到Sophie和其他老师的对话，其中Sophie的回答是“I’m sorry, Miss, I was drawing the big house on the way to school. I forgot about the time.”从这一回答我们知道其迟到正是因为画房子而忘了时间。
3. A。细节理解题。画线部分You must think less about your drawing and more about school.直译为“你应当少绘画，多想学业。”其意为Sophie绘画用时过多，老师希望她在学业上多下工夫，与A项意思一致。
4. B。细节理解题。第九段引用Sophie的话“Yesterday I was in town. I saw a man running down the road. He had an interesting face so I drew him.”意为“昨天我在镇上，看到一个男人沿路跑过来，他的脸很有趣，所以我把他画了下来”，与B意思相符。
5. D。推理判断题。这篇故事中，Sophie的绘画帮助警察抓到了一个罪犯，她应当为此感到高兴从而对绘画更感兴趣，故A项不合情理；B项有些极端；C项也不合常理，Sophie做了好事，老师应感到高兴才对；正常情况下，警察写封对她的感谢信或表扬信是合乎情理的。

Ⅱ.阅读短文，判断正误(正确的填A，错误的填B)
Long ago a kind farmer with the name of Fred lived in a small old house happily together with his gentle wife, Doris, who couldn’t see anything at the age of five.
One cold winter night, the Luck Fairy(仙女) visited them while they were eating some bread in the dim(昏暗) light.
“Fred, you’re so kind. I’d like to give you a wish. It’s my pleasure to satisfy you，” said the Luck Fairy. “A wish？” Fred and Doris asked, standing hand in hand and smiling at each other. Then Fred answered, “Thanks, Luck Fairy. We’re living a happy life.” “We are no longer young, but we still work in the field from morning to night every day. We enjoy ourselves，” said Doris.
“You work very hard but you make so little money. Would you like some gold coins to buy a comfortable house？” asked the Luck Fairy. “Oh no, my dear Luck Fairy. We love our small old house. We have lived here for a long time，” answered Fred, without a moment’s hesitation(犹豫). “We are happy to work and live together all the time. That’s enough，” Doris agreed.
The couple(夫妇) were quite different from other people the Luck Fairy had ever met. She appreciated(欣赏) them very much. She disappeared, saying, “I wish you a happy life forever.”
Many years later, the couple lived happily as usual. It seemed to others that they were the happiest in the world.
Satisfaction is a kind of feeling that needs to be experienced from inside. It’s very important to be satisfied with what you’ve got. If you enjoy the pleasure of the simple life, good luck will follow you.
( )1. Doris couldn’t see anything when she was five.
( )2. The couple were too old to work in the field when they met the Luck Fairy.
( )3. They bought a comfortable house with the help of the Luck Fairy.
( )4. The Luck Fairy wanted to satisfy the couple’s wish because they were not rich.
( )5. From the story, we should learn to enjoy all the satisfactions from the simple life.

4. B。细节理解题。由第三段第一句话可知，仙女提供许愿机会是因为他们的善良。
5. A。归纳概括题。读完全文，可知作者讲述这个故事旨在让人们意识到“It’s very important to be satisfied with that you’ve got.满足于所拥有的东西，这很重要。”也就是要从我们现有的简朴生活中寻找乐趣。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
Dereck Joubert and his wife, Beverly, have made many films about wild animals in Africa. Their films and photographs are very popular and one of the photographs has been on the front cover of a National Geographic magazine.
A working day for Dereck and Beverly started very early—at 4：30 in the morning! That’s when they get up and start filming. And it’s a long day—they often work until 8：30 in the evening. In the winter it’s very cold and in the summer it can be 40℃. Dereck always does the filming—Beverly never does that, and she doesn’t write. But Dereck never takes photographs or records the sound. They work very well as a team, and they both believe we should shoot animals with cameras—not with guns!
When they have finished filming and taking photographs for the day, they have dinner and Dereck usually writes while Beverly looks at her photographs. At night, they usually sleep in a small tent, but they sometimes sleep in the Land Cruiser—when you’re very close to wild animals, it’s sometimes safer to sleep in the car!
Dereck and Beverly have also traveled around the world and given talks about their work. Dereck says that the animals are not just something to look at—they play an important role. Beverly thinks the wild animals can teach us a lot about ourselves.(2011北京)

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. My topic is “________”.
Now in the 21st century, advertising is more and more important for people. Why I think it is because through advertising, people, especially the businessmen, can introduce their products to the people all over the world. Because of this, many companies spend a lot of money on advertising. As we all know, there are many advertisements which are very interesting, such as the advertisement made by Michael Jorden for Nike. From this you can see how the companies make their products known to the world.
People can make a lot of money through advertising. It is known that many famous singers and movie stars make money in this way. However, I don’t think this is a good way for them to make money, because they are not the professional(职业) advertisers, especially those who advertise in medicine advertisements.
Nowadays, advertising not only means making the products known, but also means making ourselves known to people around us. Living today, we have to make people believe in us if we want to do important jobs. But how can this be done We should first let other people know our good side: the good habits and abilities we have. In short, we should always remember to advertise ourselves to others. As I said before, advertising is not only important for companies but also for everyone, for all human beings. This is the most interesting thing about advertising.
( )1. The best topic to fill in the line in the first paragraph is “________”．
A. The Importance of Advertising
B. Making Money Through Advertising
C. Advertising Ourselves
D. Advice on Advertisements
( )2. This passage may be a(n) ________.
A. advertisement B. story
C. speech D. report
( )3. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT right
A. Many companies are willing to spend money on advertising.
B. Advertising can make some people rich.
C. People can introduce their products through advertisements.
D. Advertising is not necessary for anyone.
( )4. What does the writer think of the advertisement made by Michael Jordan
A. He thinks it helps to introduce the product.
B. He thinks it is right for him to make money.
C. He thinks it costs too much money.
D. He thinks Michael Jordan is a professional advertiser.
语篇解读：本文是一篇演讲稿。21世纪，广告的重要性愈加突出，除了推荐产品外，它还有其他作用吗？
1. A。 归纳概括题。通过阅读全文，可知文章主要说明了广告的重要性。
2. C。推理判断题。根据开头Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. My topic is...可知是一篇演讲稿。
3. D。推理判断题。通过文章最后一段的倒数第二句As I said before, advertising is not only important for companies but also for everyone, for all human beings.得知D是错误的。
4. A。细节理解题。通过第二段最后一句From this you can see how the companies make their products known to the world.得出答案A。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
1990 was a significant year in world events. In February, Nelson Mandela was set free after 27 years in prison. In October, East and West Germany became one country again. Then at the end of 1990, the World Wide Web was born. For this final event we have one man to thank, Tim Berners Lee, the father of the Web.
Berners Lee was born on June 8, 1955 in London, England. His parents, both computer designers, encouraged him to think and work creatively as he grew up. He was an excellent student and naturally took an interest in computers and science.
After graduating from Oxford University, Tim went to work at a science research centre in Switzerland. There he developed some of the different systems that would later become the Web. The first was HTML, the computer language used to make web pages. The second was an address system that let computers anywhere find each other and send and receive information. In 1990, while still at the science centre in Switzerland, he put them together to make the first Internet browser(浏览器). It could run on any computer and allowed people to create, then share their information with the rest of the world.
Tim knew that the more people used the Web, the more useful it would be. He wasn’t interested in money but know ledge, so he gave out his invention for free to anyone who was interested. Many were interested and the growth of the Internet began.
Today Tim works as a professor at the MIT in America, researching new and interesting ways to use the Web. He has received many awards from governments and organizations for students and workmates. It may also be one of the reasons that few people outside the world of technology know his name.(2010广州)

语篇解读：本文为记叙文。主要介绍了World Wide Web之父Tim Berners Lee的生平，Web的开发以及他的贡献和现状。
1. C。猜测词义题。第一段介绍发生在1990年的世界大事件：曼德拉坐牢27年后被释放；东西德统一；World Wide Web的诞生。由此我们不难推测，significant意为“重要的，重大的”。故选C。
2. B。推理判断题。根据第三段“...an address system that let computers anywhere find each other and send amd receive information.”可知选项A不符；根据第四段第二句，Tim只对知识感兴趣而对金钱不感兴趣，因此他免费贡献出他发明的web browser，故选项C不正确；根据第一段第四句，我们知道web是在1990年诞生的，因此1990年以前，人们不可能使用web，故排除D。由第三段可知B为正确项。
3. A。细节理解题。由文中第二段“...encouraged him to think and work creatively...”可知A为正确项。
4. C。细节理解题。由最后一段第一句可知Tim现在住在美国。
5. D。归纳概括题。通读全文可知这篇文章主要介绍World Wide Web之父Tim Berners Lee。故选D。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
I had been a happy girl until one day when I was fifteen years old. One of my eyes was badly hurt in an accident. I lost the sight of the eye, with an ugly scar(疤痕) around it.
Children refused to play games with me. It made me very sad. I always walked, looking at the floor, so that people would not see the ugly face. My mother encouraged me to be brave. She told me. “Alice, hold your head up high and face the world. If you do, it will be OK, and people will see your beautiful soul(心灵)．” Mom’s words meant different things to me over the years.
As a little child, I thought mom meant, “Be careful or you will fall down.” When I grew up, I still wanted to look down to hide my shame. She repeated these words whenever I wanted to hide. Mom’s words helped me realize that I should look at people in the eye and let them know me. When I tried, I found people were friendly to me.
In high school, I worked hard at my lessons and succeeded in my studies. Everbody began to like me and I had some friends. However, I still felt sorry about my scar, my ugly face. Sometimes when things got really bad, I would cry to my Mom. She was always there for me. She would look at me and said, “Hold your head up high and face the world. Let them see the beauty that is inside.” I became confident(自信的)．
At university, I took part in all kinds of activities. I joined a music club. We held concerts to raise money to help poor children. The club became so famous and I had more friends. Then John, a popular musician, came into my life. He didn’t mind the scar. We soon fell in love with each other. Two years later, we got married.
My mother’s words have been encouraging me to face my problems bravely and believe in myself.

D. Because Alice looked very beautiful.
( )4. What does the sentence “Hold your head up high” mean to Alice
A. Walk carefully. B. Walk with your head up.
C. Be outgoing. D. Believe in yourself.
语篇解读：在一场意外中，我的一只眼睛失明了，并且留下了一道丑陋的疤痕。小朋友们拒绝与我玩。我很伤心，自卑。妈妈鼓励我：抬起头，面对世界。我照着妈妈的话去做。我成功了，我收获了。

About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier. Only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. So some people say it is safer to be driven by women.
There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are shade(色调) of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green—a strange world indeed.
Color blindness in human is a strange thing to explain. In our eyes there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell the difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”， but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shapes but no color.
Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes(蚊子) like blue but do not like yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way humans also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the comes in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible(看不见的) colors around us.
( )1. With the help of the cones, we can ________.
A. see in a weak light
B. tell different shapes
C. kill mosquitoes
D. tell orange from yellow
( )2. Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women
A. Women are more careful.
B. There are fewer color blind women.
C. All of them see everything in shades of green.
D. None of them has trouble in recognizing (识别) colors.
( )3. This passage is mainly about ________.
A. color and its surprising effects
B. danger caused by color blindness
C. color blindness
D. the invisible colors around us

2. B。细节理解题。由第一段后两句“Only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. So some people say it is safer to be driven by women.”可知，本题答案为B。

语篇解读：乌龟在空中飞行本是不可能的事，但聪明的乌龟做到了。在鸟的帮助下，它含着木棍飞上了天空，但因为多嘴导致了它跌下来摔死的下场。这个故事再一次告诉我们“沉默是金”这个道理。
1. A。 根据下文“这个聪明的人要帮助国王少说一点话”可知这两句话之间形成转折关系。but意为“但是”，故选A。
2. B。 根据句意“我必须帮助国王少说话”可知应选help。
3. B。 首先可排除in front，因其后接介词of而非from；near和behind后可直接加名词，不需要加介词，故排除；far away from...意为“离……远”。
4. C。 表示“三者或三者以上都……”用all，因为这里有两只鸟和一只乌龟。故选C。有同学觉得可把两只鸟看作一个整体，误选both。
5. D。根据下一句的us可知此处应填We。
6. B。Would you like to do sth.？为固定结构，意为“你想要做某事吗？
7. A。 句意为“我不能飞，怎么能和你们一起去呢？”询问方式用How。
8. D。 乌龟是在表示自己对鸟儿的感谢，句意为“你们真好”。
9. C。 因为用嘴巴咬住棍子，所以应该是不能张开嘴巴说话，用talk。
10. C。根据下文国王的话可知是两只鸟。
11. C。文中是指某些不确定的东西，肯定句用something。
12. A。 fall to the ground意为“掉到地面上”符合句意。fly over飞过；run away 逃跑；walk on继续走，都不符合题意。
13. A。 文中提到两个人the wise man和the king，由下一段中的“The wise man answered...”可知提问的人是king。
14. B。前果后因，选because。
15. B。由第一段中的“...he talked too much”和第二段中的“...I must help the king talk less...”可知应选B。
