Some people spend so much time at malls that they are called ―mall rats（老鼠）‖. Mall rats shop until they drop in the hundreds of stores.People like malls for many reasons.

The newest malls have beautiful rest places with waterfalls and large green trees.The largest mall in the United States is the Mall of America in Minnesota. It covers 4. 2 million square feet（英尺）. It has 350 stores, eight night clubs, and a large park! There are parking spaces for 12,750 cars. About 750,000 people shop there every week.The first indoor mall in the United States was built in 1965 in Edina Minnesota. People love doing all their shopping in one place. More malls are built around the country. Now malls are like town centers where people come to do many things. They shop, of course, they also eat in food courts（广场）that have food from all over the world. They see films at theaters. Some people even get their exercise by doing the new sport of ―mall walking‖. Others go to malls to meet friends.In some malls, people can see a doctor and even go to the church. In other words, people can do just about everything in malls.

There was a song in every heart, cheer on every face, and a spring in every step.Tom appeared with a bucket（桶）of white paint in one hand and a brush in the other. His Aunt Polly told him to paint the fence（篱笆）around the garden. It was ninety feet long and nine feet high. He felt very blue.Then he had a wonderful idea. He picked up his brush and started to work.Soon Ben came along the road. He was happily eating an apple. He stopped to look at Tom. Tom went on painting and pretended（假装）not to see Ben.―I’m going swimming,‖ said Ben. ―Do you want to go swimming, Tom? But I guess you can’t. You have to stay and work, don’t you?‖―Work?‖ Tom said. ―This isn’t work. I’m enjoying myself. Does a boy get a chance to paint a fence like this every day?‖Ben thought about this. Tom continued painting carefully. Sometimes he stopped, stood back to look at the fence like an artist, and then added（增加）a bit more paint in just the right place. Ben was watching Tom paint with great interest. He was getting more and more eager（渴望的）to have a try himself.After a while, Ben asked Tom if he would let him paint a little. Tom thought about it, and said, ―No, Ben, I can’t. You see. Aunt Polly wants it to be done well. Aunt Polly said that I must paint it with great care.‖―Oh, please, Tom,‖ begged Ben. ―I can do it. I’ll be really careful. Just let me try. I’ll give you half of my apple. Well, I’ll give you all of it!‖―Well, all right, Ben,‖ said Tom. ―You must be very careful.‖He gave Ben his brush with worry on his face but joy in his heart. He sat down under the tree, and started to eat Ben’s apple. All day, boys came to make fun of Tom, but they ende d up staying to paint. When Ben got tired, Billy was waiting. He gave Tom a kite for a chance to paint. Then Johnny offered him a basketball, and so on.By late afternoon Tom had got all kinds of toys, and the fence had got three coats of paint. Later Aun t Polly came to look at the painted fence. She was so pleased with Tom’s work that she gave Tom a large cake!51.Why did Tom pretend not to see Ben when he came and watched him painting?A..

Stubborn.（D）If you could see a movie of your life before you lived it, would you want to live it? Probably not. The excitement of living is that you don’t know what’s coming.Sure, it’s hard to see uncertainty in such positive（积极的）light when you’re out of work, or when you feel like you’re failing. But uncertainty is really another word for chance.When Allison graduated from Harvard, she had chances all over the place but had no idea what she wanted to do. She took a job in consulting（咨询）, but she knew she wouldn’t stay there. She took the GRE and scored so high that she was able to increase her income（收入）by teaching students. Still, she didn’t thin k she wanted to go to graduate school. Allison knew she wasn’t doing what she wanted, but she didn’t know what she wanted.She worried. All her friends were going to graduate school or starting their own businesses. She was lost and felt that she would never find anything out. After six years, Allison, by having a general（全面的）plan in mind, got married, moved to the Midwest, and used her consultingexperience to get a great job. Allison realized that she spent her years finding her way: time well spent, and time we must all take if we’re being honest with ourselves.The only way to lead an interesting life is to face uncertainty and make a choice. Otherwise your life is not your own—it is a path someone else has chosen. Moments of uncertainty are when you create your life, when you become who you are. Uncertainty usually begins with a job hunt, but it doesn’t end there. Every new role we take on means another round of uncertainty. Instead of fearing it, you should find some ways to deal with uncertainty.54. From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that .A. being out of work is a sad thingB. uncertainty is what makes life interestingC. life in a film is more exciting than real lifeD. chance never appears when we need it55. What troubles Allison after graduation?A. She couldn’t find a well-paid job.B. She had no money to start a business.C. She was not sure what to do.D. She didn’t score high enough for graduate school.56. How did Allison feel about her six years’ working experience?A. Uncertain.B. Amazed.C. Sorry.D. Satisfied.57. What may be discussed in the following paragraph?A. How to deal with uncertainty.B. What role uncertainty plays in life.C. Why people fear uncertainty.D. Whom to go to when facing uncertainty.五、词汇运用：（本大题共8分，每小题1分）1.Tommy was in his ______________(thirty) when he got married.2.The girl doesn’t have any (strong) to lift the heavy box3.The student’s_______________ (care) made him get low marks in the Maths competition.4.After discussing for two hours, one of the most important ____________(decide) was made.5.We are not sure what caused her _________________（忧伤).6.The product of this company has reached the international ___________(标准), so it sells well.7.Tan Dun’ s amazing piece of music Water does not use any musical ______________.（乐器）8.We are surprised to find that Jim is (缺席的) from school today.六、动词填空：（本大题共8分，每小题1分）1. —Did you notice anybody enter the building just now?—Sorry, I (cut) down the tree in the garden.2.The pioneer heart surgeon__________________ (respect) by all the people in the town.3. –What did Mr.Li say?-- He suggested us (begin) the meeting at once without waiting for Leo.4.

"Happiness," said the Englishman, "Happiness is when you return home tired after work, yet find your slippers(拖鞋) warming by the fire.""You English have no romance," said the Frenchman. "Happiness is when you go on a business trip, meet a pretty girl who entertains(招待) you －then afterwards you part（分手）without regrets.""You are both wrong," said the Russian. "True happiness is when you are at home in bed and at 4:00 a.m., you hear a ring at the door and outside stand the secret police, who say to you, 'Ivan ,Ivan, you are under arrest(逮捕)', and you say, 'Sorry, Ivan lives next door.'"【】25. The Englishman's happiness suggests that _______.A. he should have no time to warm his slippersB. he enjoys the warmth of the familyC. he thinks it the most important to have slippersD. he wants someone to warm his slippers【】26. The meaning of the Russian's words is that _______.A. he would like to have a good sleep at nightB. he will feel happy if his neighbour is arrestedC. he thinks it happiness to feel safeD. he will feel afraid if anyone knocks at his door at night【】27. The best title for this story is “__________”.A. The difference in HappinessB. How to Get HappinessC. The Definition (定义) of HappinessD. The Importance of HappinessBEducation is not an end, but a means（手段） to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all whether rich or poor, clever or stupid-one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees(学历) refuse to do what they think to be "low" work, and, in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful(害羞) these days. But we have only to think a momentto understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor. We can live without education, but we will die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns.In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that is very bad to be ashamed of one's work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.【】28.The writer wants to prove that _____.A. our society needs all kinds of jobsB. our society needs free education for allC. a farmer is more important than a professorD. people with university degrees earn more money【】29. According to the passage _____.A. work with hands is dirty and shamefulB. work with hands is low workC. work with hands is the most importantD. we can't regard work with handsas low work【】30. The purpose of education is _____.A. to choose a system of educationB. to let everyone receive educationC. to prepare children for their future workD. to build a perfect worldCMilan has more than fashion.FOOD, football, and fashion – Milan has it all. The city is perhaps most famous for its annual (一年一度的) Milan Fashion Week and its world-class soccer teams AC Milan and Inter Milan. And May will see it host the six-month Milan Expo(米兰世博会), the theme of which is food and nutrition（营养）.Milan may not be the first place tourists think of when they think of Italy. Rome is the most famous city in Italian history, Venice draws visitors who want to travel along its canals(运河) and Florence is popular with the art lovers. Yet Milan can often be let off tourists’lists. But although some see Milan as the “Ugly Sister”of these cities, in 2015, the city is “Suddenly back in fashion in a big way”.The delicious Milan Expo will look at the future of food, trying to answer the question of how Earth’s fast-growing population can be fed in the future. According to the Lonely Planet website, “144 countries will set up shops in northwest of central Milan, forming a mini city-within-a-city”.Mi lan’s famous opera house, La Scala, normally(通常地) closed in the summer, will also host daily performances during the Expo, reported Fox News.Not interested in opera? Don’t worry. Visitors who prefer sports may want to visitthe San Siro Stadium(体育馆), home of the soccer teams AC Milan and Inter Milan. The stadium is one of the most famous in Europe and has seen many important games over the years, both in Series A (甲级联赛) and the Euro pean Champions league（欧比赛）.So even if all of its fashion and beautiful people can make Milan seem “Soulless(缺乏灵魂的)”as Lonely Planet said, it still has “a serious sense of history and place”.Many people willbe discovering it this year, and eating great food from all over the world to help solve world problems. Will you?【】31. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the city of Milan?A. It is the largest city in Italy and has the longest history.B. It is hosting the world’s largest Fashion Week in 2015.C. Football, fashion and ancient canals are three features of the city.D. The cit y’s La Scala opera house will offer additional performances in 2015.【】32. Which of the following features of Milan are mentioned in t he article?a. economyb. sportsc. cultural performances and activitiesd. geography and populatione. fashionA. acdB. bceC. bdeD. bcd【】33. The author’s purpose in writing this article is to ______.A. give an introduction to Milan as a good choice for travelingB. tell readers about the theme and activities of the 2015 Milan ExpoC. give an proper review of the food culture in MilanD. explain why Milan will be holding the world Expo in 2015DPeople like to tell me rubbish. Not just friends, but strangers ,too.Once, at the airport, my husband stepped off an escalator(自动扶梯) before me. When he realized I wasn’t with him, he looked back and saw me hugging ( 拥抱) a stranger.I’d asked the man behind me: “Did you have fun in Vegas?”His answer broke me heart. After 50 years away, I’d come to say goodbye to the lover of his life, who was dying of cancer.“I should have married her 50 years ago,” he said. I hugged him, and then he was gone.Moments later, my husband said: “He told you all that on the escalator?” I nodded.“Maybe he just needed to tell somebody, And I happened to ask.”When someone wants to talk, you just need to ask a question. The words don’t matter. It’s the tone (语调) in your voice and the look in your eyes and the caring in yo ur heart that count.Sometimes I think the whole world is crying out to be heard.And yet, we don’t ask the question or say the things we need to say to those who matter most to us while there is still time, and a chance, to do so.Recently I heard from a reader who shared with me the eulogy(悼词) she’d written after losing her mother.I wish her mother could have read it. I can only hope her mother knew all the things her daughter wrote about her—that she was known so well and loved so much.I like to think people will say a few nice things about me when I’m gone. But givena choice, I would rather hear those things before I go. Wouldn’t we all?T hat started me thinking. I need to tell my children I am proud of them. They know it, but it can’t hurt to say it again.I need to tell my sister I will forever in her debt(欠她的情). I was the one who left. She was the one who stayed, who’s “been there”for our family—for our mother, our dad, our brothers and me.And to my husband, I need to say, well, he puts up with a lot.In fact, I need to say a lot of things to whole lot of people. Maybe you do, too. You can tell me, if you want. But maybe you should tell them first.【】34. What happened to the writer at the airport in Los Vegas?A. She developed a friendship with a stranger.B. She helped a stranger with cancer on the escalator.C. She listened to a stranger’s story and hugged him.D. She told a stranger the story of her stay in Los Vegas【】35. According to the writer, what matters least when someone wants to talk?A. The question you ask.B. The way you speak.C. The way you look at someone.D. the caring in your heart.【】36. What does the underlined word “who” stand for in the article?A. A woman the stranger loved very much but failed to marry.B. A woman the stranger married 50 years ago and left for some reason.C. A woman the stranger loved very much and succeeded in marrying.D.The writer’s sister whose debt the writer will be forever in.【】37. What does the writer want to tell us with the article?A.It’s never too late to express your love.B.It’s better to say what you need to say before it’s too late.C.We should care about strangers to make the world better.D.We should be careful about what we say to our beloved ones.第二卷（主观题共40分）五、词汇运用（本大题共8小题，每小题1分，共8分）(A) 根据句意和汉语注释，写出单词的正确形式。

departments（学术部门），athletic facilities（体育设施）and libraries are not included on any of our tours．Attend a classThe Admissions Office provides a list of the meeting times and locations of courses held during the academic year that visitors are welcome to attend．Speak with the Harvard teachersTeachers and other staff members are often glad to talk to people who have questions about our programs．It is best to write ahead directly to the office to arrange an appointment．For Seniors OnlyEat a meal with Harvard studentsDuring the academic year，high school seniors are our guests for one meal in Annenberg Hall，the first ﹣year dining hall，or in one of the House dining halls if accompanied by a House resident．Stay overnight in one of the residence hallsOur office can arrange for high school seniors to stay with volunteer student hosts for one night，Monday through Thursday，from October 1st through early March．We need to hear from you by phone （617﹣495﹣1551）or by mail at least three weeks

you think of them．If you don't let this anger go，it can turn into bitterness （痛苦）．Bitterness appears when we can't forgive someone who has hurt us or made us angry．Someone might say or do something that hurts us．But instead of controlling the anger，we keep it deep inside．Before long，a bitter feeling begins to grow．We may think we're hurting that person by criticizing （指责）him or her often，but we're really only hurting ourselves．Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease，but also hurt our relationships with friends and family members．No one enjoys being around an angry person for very long．If you see bitterness in your life，here are some ways to deal with it．•Accept itInstead of trying to deny your anger，make it clear to yourself and accept it．See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it．•Stop making excuses for itYou may feel you have a right to be angry．You may think you're right and the other person is wrong．You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad．But in the end，bitterness hurts you much more than the other person．The bitterness will hold you back，and the other person will go on with his or her life．•Forgive and forget itYou probably can't completely put the anger out of your mind．But you can decide to forgive the other person．Forget it and move on．You'll enjoy better health and peace of

villages and forests．Then it reached a desert．"I went through so many difficulties．I should have no problem crossing the desert，"she thought．As she started，she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand．After many times，she still failed．"Maybe I can't reach the ocean．"She said sadly to herself．At this time，a deep voice said，"If a breeze （微风）can cross the desert，so can a river．"It was the voice of the desert．But the little stream answered，"That's because a breeze can fly，but I cannot．" "That's because you can't give up what you are．Let yourself evaporate（蒸发）into the breeze，and it can take you across，"said the desert．"Give up what I am now？No!No!"The little stream could not accept this idea．"The breeze can carry the vapor（水汽）across the desert and let it leave as rain．The rain will form a river again，"said the desert，"And whether you're a river or vapor，your nature never changes．"Hearing this，this little stream went into the open arms of the breeze．It carried her to the next stage of her life．The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream．If you want to go through difficulties in your life to head for success，you should also change the way you are．31．The little stream before she got to the desert．A．didn't meet much difficultyB．was worried about herselfC．knew well about the desertD．was confident about herself32．The little stream finally

US government wants more seat belt laws．It says children aged 4to 15are often killed in car accidents．In 2005，there were 1，627children aged 4to 15killed in car accidents．More than 1，000of those children were not wearing seat belts．If they had been wearing seat belts，500of those children could be alive today．These children are too old to be in car seats，but they often sit in the back seat．Seat belt laws in many states，including Wisconsin，only require people in the front seat to wear seat belts．Children who aren't wearing seat belts can be thrown from the car．The risk of dying in an accident is three times greater if the person is thrown from the car．New laws could require children aged 4to 8to be in booster seats in the car．Booster seats help seat belts fit children properly．Right now，only 5percent of children aged 4to 8are seated in booster seats （儿童座椅）．While parents have the choice of whether wearing seat belts or not，children are too young to make that choice．Even if you decide not to wear a seat belt，make sure you children are in seat belts and car seats．It's the law and it will save their lives．34．The underlined sentence"Everyone gets sick of hearing"in the first paragraph means""．A．there is something wrong with everyone's earsB．all people fall ill when they hear somethingC．many people don't pay attention to wearing seat beltsD．none of the

doing"习惯于做某事"，所以选A．【点评】本题考查非谓语动词的用法，抓住句中的关键词并联系相关的语法知识可得出正确的答案．平时注意对此类短语或句式用法的总结与归纳．11．（1分）﹣﹣﹣Are you _________ that our football team will win the match？﹣﹣﹣____________．We play even better on match point，and it's __________ that we're goingto win．（）A．sure，likely，certain B．sure，Sure，certainC．certain，Certainly，sure D．certain，Surely，sure【分析】﹣你确定我们的球队会赢得比赛吗？﹣当然．我们甚至在赛点上踢得更好，我们一定会赢的．【解答】答案：B作形容词时，sure和certain都表示当然的，但区别在于sure的主语为人，certain的主语为事物．作副词时，sure和certainly可以直接用于回答，表示当然地．第一个空主语you是人，要用sure；第二个空用于回答"当然"，可用sure和certainly；第三个空的it形式主语，真正的主语we're going to win指的是事情，要用certain．结合分析可知答案为B．【点评】此题首先要搞清sure，certain和certainly的区别，再根据题干，判断出每个空应该使用哪一个单词，再结合分析，选出正确的答案．12．（1分）The girl seemed too busy __________ her test _________ her mother enter the room．（）A．preparing，to notice B．to prepare，to noticeC．Preparing，noticing D．to prepare，noticing【分析】女孩似乎忙着准备考试，没注意她母亲进了房间．【解答】答案：A根据seemed too busy 结合选项可知seem在此为系动词，所以此处相当于运用了固定表达be busy doing sth意为"忙于做某事"；所以首空应该用动名词preparing；结合too busy 及语境可知此句运用了固定句式too…to"太…而不能…"，所以第二个空应该用to notice，整句话意为：女孩似乎忙着准备考试，没注意她母亲进了房间．综合以上分析，故选：A【点评】此题考查非谓语动词的用法．做题时联系关键词结合固定用法在联系语境的基础上，找到主要的句型，综合起来选出正确答案．13．（1分）Tom didn't know___________________________．（）A．where were the Asian Games heldB．if the colour therapy worksC．who was Mary waiting forD．how much it cost to fly to Tibet【分析】汤姆不知道飞去西藏要花多少钱？【解答】答案：D．know后加宾语从句，引导词+陈述句语序，排除A，C．主句是一般过去时，从句用过去的时态，故排除B，故答案是D．【点评】本题旨在考查宾语从句这一语法，做这类题时，要从三方面考虑：一、选准连接词二、连接词后紧跟从句的主语三、若主句是过去时，从句要改为相对应的过去时．14．（1分）﹣Are you going to take part in the speech competition？﹣．It's too good a chance to miss．（）A．No problem B．Thanks a lotC．Never mind D．That's for sure【分析】﹣你将会参加演讲比赛吗？﹣﹣那是肯定．这是很好的一次机会，不容错过．【解答】答案：D 根据答句中"It's too good a chance to miss．"（表示这是一个好机会不能错过）可知此人是肯定要去的．No problem没问题（当别人请求你帮忙时所用的答句）；Thanks a lot非常感谢（表达对对方的谢意）；Never mind不介意（用来回答would you mind句型）；That's for sure．那是肯定的．故选D．【点评】本题考查日常交际用语．要根据上下文来揣摩作者想表达的意思，并能熟练掌握口语交际中的固定问答句，才能正确的做出选择．二、完型填空（本大题共10分，每小题10分）先通读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后在每小题所给的四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．15．（10分）After a long day at school，I walked home with my

I met the old man at a café. “Did you hear the radio news yesterday?” he asked me. “No,” I replied. “Anything exciting?” “Exciting? No! Something very sad. A group of hungry dogs killed and ate my best friend.”“Oh, dear!” I cried. “How did it happen?” “He was working on the hillside when the dogs attacked him. When he didn’t return, I went to the hillside and fou nd…” “His body?” I asked. The old man drank half of his coffee. “No. I told you they were hungry dogs, didn’t I? The big bones were lying everywhere. Bu t they found this.” He pushed open a match box he was holding in his hand. In it was a man’s thumb, lying on some white bloody material.“This is my friend’s right thumb. The dogs ate the rest of him”. The old man began to cry. He finished his coffee quickly and left the café. I drank mine and called the waiter. “I’ll pay the gentleman’s bill. His poor friend-how terrible!” “You’ve heard the news?” The waiter laughed. “Sure. There’s a hole in the bo ttom of the match box. He puts his own thumb through the hole. The blood is red ink, I believe. Is the story worth a cup of coffee, sir?” “But he holds the bo x in his right hand.” “Yes, but listeners look into the box.

We all have happy memories of taking a few lazy months off after the stress of A-levels. So since summer has arrived, let’s make full use. It goes without saying that summer vacations are the perfect time to go traveling.Tickets go up greatly when you turn 26, so make full use of cheaper prices while________V olunteering abroad won’t surprise future employers(老板), but it can be very useful. Finding a reliable (可靠的) company is important, as is discovering a program that interests you. There are plenty of websites where you can see other people’s suggestions.Of course for most of us, money is tight. To avoid overspending you can combine(结合) employment（打工） and vacation. Hannah Warn, a psychology (心理学) student at the University of Winchester, is spending her summer at Camp America where students enjoy a good time on a summer camp. “Being th rown into something where I don’t really know what to expect is exciting,” she says. “It gives me a chance to experience being away from home in a different way.”Those with a talent for languages might also consider working abroad as an au pair (互惠工人). The work may be a chance to involve yourself in a new cult ure while your employer pays most of the bill.If you have an idea of the type of career you’d like, getting work experience is wise. In many careers, graduating with only your degree(学位) to show for y our three or four years just won’t make it. Send applications off early and to as many places as possible. Make sure you take a well-earned break this summe r.【小题1】The underlined part “you’re eligible” in Para. 2 means “ ”.A．you have more free timeB．you’re tired of school lifeC．you enjoy traveling a lotD．you’re of the right age【小题2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the example of Hannah Warn?A．Camp America offers jobs to students.B．Psychology students are good at saving money.C．Students had better choose a camp connected to their future job.D．A camp is a good place to combine employment and vacation.【小题3】According to the passage, who is more likely（可能） to get a job after graduation?A．John, who got excellent academic records during his university years.B．Lily, who worked abroad as an au pair during summer vacations.C．Tom, who got working experience connected to his future job in college.D．Mary, who got a degree after studying four years in a famous university.8. When I was a child, I was amazed at the idea that my sisters could be my best friends. Now, I wouldn’t have it any other way. At the time, the idea of my t wo sisters being my closest friends seemed strange to me. We fought all the time over toys, food, attention, what to watch on television—you name it, and w e quarreled(吵架) about it at some point. How could my sisters be my best friends? They weren’t the same age as I. We all had our own friends in school. My mother never let the three of us forget that sisters are lifelong friends. Her wish like most parents’ was to give us something that she never had. Growing up as an only child, she expectedsiblings. When she gave birth to three daughters, her dream had only just begun. She had given each of us a gift and she wa nted to make sure we did not take that gift for granted(理所当然). She would often tell us how lucky we were. But there were other, more subtle (难以察觉的) ways that she encouraged us to grow closer. She never showed favoritism(偏爱) to one daughter over the other. She often took us places together—skati ng, shopping and swimming, so that we developed common interests. And when we were teenagers, Mom always punished us equally, giving us yet another bonding (密切相连) experience.We didn’t always get along beautifully and fought just like any other siblings. But somewhere in between Mom’s lectures, the family vacations and the share d memories, we realized that our mother was right. Today I share things with my sisters that I do with no one else. My sister Cindy and I ran the New York City Marathon together, side by side, even holding hands when we crossed the finish line. When my sister Karen got married, I was her maid of honor(伴娘). Cindy and I traveled through Europe together and even shared a room for two years. The three of us trust each other with our greatest secrets.It was twenty-three years ago that my mother first asked me who my two best friends were. Today she doesn’t have to. She already knows. 【小题1】As a child, the author was amazed at her mother’s idea because ________.A．her sisters seemed strange to herB．her sisters didn’t like to be her friendsC．none of the girls had their own friendsD．they didn’t have much in common【小题2】The underlined word “siblings” in the passage probably means _________.A．sisters B．parents C．daughters D．friends【小题3】How did the author’s mother encourage her three daughters to grow closer？A．She punished her daughter differently.B．She showed equal love to her daughters.C．She encouraged her daughters to do sports.D．She often took her daughters to many places.【小题4】The best title of the passage could be ________.A．The Greatest Gift B．Mother’s LoveC．Growing Experiences D．Unforgettable Memories三、根据句意填空9. 根据句意,用括号内所给单词的适当形式填空。

My uncle told me the crowded people here were around 38,000 and this was more than four times the population of Bunol.The tomato fight started as soon as the first banger was beaten. Then everyone including me started throwing tomatoes at each other. I took red tomatoes and threw them at anyone that ran, moved, bent down, or turned around. Tomatoes must be squashed before people threw them in order not to hurt anybody. After a little while, the streets, people and nearby buildings were splashed with red. There was no winner in this fight,but we all had fun. As soon as a secon d banger was beaten, people stopped throwing.I really had a great time, I wish you were here, too. I hope I hear from you soon.

A subway is not just an important form of transport. It is also a window for other people to learn about local cultures.Beijing, ChinaThe Beijing Subway was opened in 1969 and is the oldest subway system in China. It has added some modern technologies. All stations now have touch-scr een maps. In some stations, people can also see traditional Chinese cultures. For example, on the walls of a few stations of Line 8, there are some pictures of blue and white porcelain(青花瓷）.Stockholm, SwedenThe system of the Stockholm Subway has 100 stations in use, of which 47 are underground and 53 above ground. The first subway line for Stockholm was o pened in 1950. The Stockholm Subway is well-known for its decoration of the stations. It is called the longest art gallery in the world. Over 90 percent of its stations are decorated with paintings. A few stations are decorated with red bedrocks（岩床）. This makes you feel as if you are in a cave.London, UKThe London Underground or the Tube is the oldest subway in the world. It was opened in 1863. During World War II, it was used to protect people from Ger man plane attacks（袭击）on London. Now, it is a symbol of the city.

We were standing at the top of a church tower. My father had brought me to this high tower in a small town not far from our home in Rome. I wondered why.“Look down, Elsa," Father said. I gathered all my courage and looked down. I saw the square in the center of the village. And I saw several streets leading t o the square. ‘‘See, my dear," Father said gently. “There is more than one way to the square. Life is like that. If you can't get to the place where you want to go by one road, try another. "Now I understood why I was there. Earlier that day I had begged my mother to do something about the bad lunches that were served at school. But she refus ed because she could not believe the lunches were as bad as I said.When I turned to Father for help, he would not help. Instead, he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson. By the time we reached home, I had a pla n.At school the next day, I poured my lunch soup into a bottle and brought it home. Then I asked our cook to serve it to Mother at dinner. The plan worked per fectly. She tried one spoonful and sputtered. “The cook must have gone mad!” Quickly I told what I had done, and Mother promised that she would take up t he matter of lunches at school the next day!In the years that followed I often remembered the lesson Father taught me. I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago. I wouldn’t stop working unt il I tried every possible way.

Some inventions are so useful, but seem so simple, that we wonder why no one thought of them long ago. Post-it Notes, the pieces of paper that you can fasten almost anywhere and then remove without leaving any sign that they were there, are an example of such an invention.Post-it Notes were invented about twenty years ago by Art Fry, a scientist at 3M Corporation. The idea for the product came from a frustrating experien ce he often had while singing in his church choir. Fry used pieces of paper as bookmarks to mark the places in his book of songs, but these bookmarks were always falling out. He knew he needed a bookmark that would stay where he put it, but that he could remove without damaging the pages.Around that time, Fry heard about a new adhesive (粘合剂) that a workmate, Dr. Spence Silver, had created. This adhesive was special because it was s ticky, but not too sticky. It was strong enough to hold papers together, but weak enough to not tear the paper when it was removed. Fry saw that the new adh esive could help solve his bookmark problem. One morning, Fry put some of the adhesive on the edge of a piece of paper. Just as he hoped, it made a perfect bookmark.A short time later, Fry realized that his new invention had even more uses than being a great bookmark. He came to this realization when he wrote a note on one of his new "bookmarks" and attached it to a report he was going to give to a workmate. Soon, co-workers were asking Fry for more samples of his inven tion so that they could use the new type of notes themselves.Fry and some other people at 3M believed so much in the new product that they persuaded the company to give away thousands of the "sticky pieces of pap er" for trial use(试用). When some salespeople at 3M went to offices and showed workers just how helpful the new type of notes could be, they immediately received many orders. As more and more people discovered how useful Post-it Notes could be, the product_____【小题1】The invention of Post-it Notes showed that Art Fry________.A．had a lot of knowledgeB．was very hard-workingC．was good at creative thinkingD．loved his job in the church【小题2】In what way did Dr. Spence help Art Fry?A．They worked together and often discussed science.B．His invention of a special adhesive made Art's invention possible.C．He advised 3M Corporation to give away lots of Post-it Notes for trial use.D．He worked together with Art by providing the new adhesive for Art.【小题3】The underlined phrase "took off" means_______.A．started to leave the groundB．disappeared from the marketC．had even more usesD．became popular very quickly【小题4】The biggest advantage of Post-it Notes is_______.A．it can stay anywhere and leave no sign when removedB．it is very cheap to useC．it is good to write notes onD．it is very thin and beautiful四、用所给单词的正确形式填空20. 词汇运用（本大题共8小题，每小题1分，共8分）（A）根据句意和汉语注释，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出单词的正确形式。
