答案。

When I was 8, a gentleman came to my orphanage(孤儿院) every week to lead us
in woodworking projects. I remember the night that I finished my first project. It was a small table and I looked upon it as though I had created a life. I could 36 wait to give it to Mother Winters, o ur orphanage’s leader, as a 37 .
Since the tables’ coating was still 38 , the man asked us to wait a while before taking our tables to our dormitories. But I couldn’t wait. I dashed out the door
in a 39 , carrying my table, smiling from ear to ear.
“It is very pretty,〞 Mother Winter smiled at me. When she touched the coating she noticed that it was still wet. Then she asked me why I had brought. I stood with 40 down. “Were you supposed to bring this home?〞she asked. “No, ma’am, 〞 I said.
Mother Winters kicked the table over andall of the legs were 41 off. She made me throw the table outside. After Mother Winters left, I went out to get my little table. There was dirt all over it. 42 silently, I hid the ruined table in my closet.
A year later I gave it to Mother Henderson, my houseparent, to 43 .
Thirty years later I learned Mother Henderson was living in Asheville, North Carolina, so I drove up to see her. She gently asked me to come down to her basement and help her get something 44 . “Do you reme mber that?〞 she asked, 45 into a dark corner. I did. I could not speak for fear of crying. “Roger, I want you to 46 it.〞 Mother Henderson gave me back the little 47 that I had given up for lost so long ago. She had kept it, never 48 if she would see me again.
Today, I look at the table with bittersweet memories. I think of when Mother Winters forced me to throw it away. But I am also 49 and joyful at the kindness of Mother Henderson, who kept it as a remembrance of a young orphan who tried very hard to 50.

第四局部：阅读理解〔共15小题，每一小题2分，总分为30分〕
阅读如下短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最优选项。

A
In the case of mobile phones, change is everything. Recent research indicates that the mobile phone is changing not only our culture, but our very bodies as well.
First, let’s talk about culture. The difference between the mobile phone and its parent, the fixed-line phone, is that a mobile number corresponds to a person, while a landline goes to a place. If you call my mobile, you get me. If you call my fixed-line phone, you get whoever answers it.
This has several implications〔含义〕. The most common one, however, and perhaps the thing that has changed our culture forever, is the “meeting〞 influence. People no longer need to make firm plans about when and where to meet. Twenty years ago, a Friday night would need to be arranged in advance. You needed enough time to allow everyone to get from their place of work to the first meeting place. Now, however, a night out can be arranged on the run. It is no longer “see you there at 8〞,but “text me around 8 and we’ll see where we all are.〞
Texting changes pe ople as well. In their paper, “Insights into the Social and Psychological Effects of SMS (Short Message Service) Text Messaging", two British researchers distinguished between two types of mobile phone users: the “talkers〞and the “texters〞－those who prefer voice to text messages and those who prefer text to voice.
They found that the mobile phone’s individuality and privacy gave texters the ability to express a whole new outer personality. Texters were likely to report that their family would be surprised if they were to read their texts. This suggests that texting allowed texters to present a self-image that differed from the one familiar
to those who knew them well.
Another scientist wrote of the changes that mobiles have brought to body language. There are two kinds that people use while speaking on the phone. There is the “speakeasy〞: the head is held high, in a self-confident way, chatting away. And there is the “spacemaker〞: these people focus on themselves and keep out other people.
Who can blame them? Phone meetings get cancelled or reformed and camera- phones intrude〔侵入〕on people’s privacy. So, it is understandable if your mobile makes you nervous. But perhaps you needn’t worry so much. After all, it is good to talk.
51. The “meeting〞 influence of a mobile phone refers to the fact that ________.
A. people can arrange their meeting place and time more flexibly
B. people have to make a firm plan about when and where to meet
C. people are able to meet someone at any place and any time
D. people have to attend phone meetings than ever before
52. According to the two British researchers, the Social and Psychological Effects
are most likely to be seen on ________.
A. talkers
B. the “speakeasy〞
C. the “spacemaker〞
D.
texters
53. According to the passage, who is afraid of being heard while talking on the
mobile?
A. talkers
B. the “speakeasy〞
C. the “spacemaker〞
D.
texters
54. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A. the Influence of Short Message Service
B. Changes
Caused by Mobile Phone Use
C. Changes in the Use of the Mobile
D. Body Language and the Mobile Phone
B
55. Which event is the most suitable for one who wants to enjoy dinner in a boat
with live music?
A. Father’s day Sunset Live Music D inner Cruise
B. Rancho Days Fiesta
C. Annual Silverado Counter Fair and Art Festival
D. Starr Ranch Sanctuary
56. At Rancho Days Fiesta, you can ______.
A. pay to join in camping
B. join in activities for the whole family
C. experience the early life of the OrangeCounty
D. taste food made in the local factories
57. How much will a couple have to pay if they go to Saturday Night Music Fest with
their 10-year-old son?
A. $ 12
B. $15
C. $10

C
As the school year comes to an end, many senior students of school across the nation will not just be starting another summer of holidays to provide a break during
semesters. Leaving their safe havens (安全港), many of them are to take their first step into the world of adulthood, attending fast-paced, crowded universities, taking up part-time or full-time employment. Many may even move from family homes in their pursuit of educational fulfillment or the “perfect〞 job opportunity.
One ceremony that has become part of coming of age has been the senior prom (毕业舞会). The senior prom is an opportunity for youth to celebrate the entrance into the world of adulthood with color and formality. However, there is far more behind the social event than ever noticed.
What is form al? Formal means to present one’s self to others in a way which is “with form〞, with shape, polite, inoffensive and organized. We see the example of a formal letter; it uses proper grammar and sentence structure in order to be respectful, while at the same time serving a purpose or getting an important message across. In our society, what is formal? Very little. On average, clothing, language, behavior --- all is very informal. Individuals who are formal (polite, inoffensive, organized) in their daily dealings with people are often looked upon as boring. Yet in certain situations, individuals play with the concept of formality not truly to achieve respectfulness and order but because it becomes fashionable to do so. While a prom may seem, on the surface, like a fun opportunity to behave formally, it is actually a flowery version of Halloween.
On the occasion of the spring prom, we see flowering youth taking on the formalities of “adult〞. Fine dress, careful makeup, luxury cars all become part of being an adul t. But being “adult〞isn’t that way.
In our society we have a wrong idea of what adulthood actually is. It has always been my understanding that adulthood and maturity (成熟) are not based upon one’s ability to hold a cigarette in a certain way or tie a bow tie. Adulthood comes with understanding of one’s place in the universe; it comes with the knowledge of how to interact with our fellow human beings; it comes with the ability to take responsibility for one’s own actions --- whether good or bad.
58. The “sa fe havens〞 (Paragraph 1) most probably refers to ______.
A. families
B. high schools
C. mother countries
D. hometowns
59. In paragraph 3, the example of letter is given in order to ______.
A. show the importance of communication
B. discuss the purpose of a formal letter
C. explain what real “formal〞 is like
D. complain today’s letters are too formal
60. By describing a prom as “a flowery version of Halloween〞 in the fourth
paragraph, the writer means it is ______.
A. great fun
B. out of fashion
C. actually informal
D. beautifully decorated
61. The writer holds the opinion that being an adult means one can______.
A. put on heavy makeup
B. better get on with others
C. learn to smoke cigarettes
D. buy a luxury car or dress
D
It was an autumn morning shortly after my husband and I moved into our first house. Our children were upstairs unpacking, and I was looking out of the window at my father moving around mysteriously on the front lawn. My parents lived nearby, and Dad had visited us several times alre ady. “What are you doing out there?〞 I called to him.
He looked up, smiling. “I’m making you a surprise.〞 Knowing my father, I thought it could be just about anything. A self-employed jobber, he was always building things out of odds and ends. When we were kids, he always created something surprising for us.
Today, however, Dad would say no more, and caught ups in the busyness of our new life, I eventually forgot about his surprise.
Until one gloomy day the following March when I glanced out of the window. Any yet… I saw a dot of blue across the yard. I headed outside for a closer look. They were crocuses (番红花), throughout the front lawn. Lavender, blue, yellow and my favorite pink --- little faces moved up and down in the cold wind.
Dad! I smiled, remembering the things he had secretly planted last autumn. He knew how the darkness and dullness of winter always got me down. What could have been more perfectly timely to my needs?
My father’s crocuses bloomed each spring for the next four or five seasons, bringing the same assurance every time they arrived: hard times was almost over. Hold on, keep going, light is coming soon.
Then a spring came with only half the usual blooms. The next spring there were none. I missed the crocuses. I would ask Dad to come over and plant new bulbs. But I never did.
He died suddenly one October day. My family was in deep sorrow, leaning on our faith. I missed him terribly.
Four years passed, and on a dismal spring afternoon I was driving back when I found myself feeling depressed. “You’ve got the winter depression again and you get them every year.〞 I told myself.
It was Dad’s birthday, and I found myself thinking about him. This was not unusual --- my family often talked about him, remembering how he lived his faith. Once I saw him give his coat to a homeless man.
Suddenly I slowed as I turned into our driveway. I stopped and stared at the lawn. And there on the muddy grass and small gray piles of melting snow, bravely waving in the wind, was one pink crocus.
How could a flower bloom from a bulb more than 18 years old, one that had not blossomed in over a decade? But there was the crocus. Tears filled my eyes as I realized its significance.
Hold on, keep going, light is coming soon. The pink crocus bloomed for only
a day. But it built my faith for a lifetime.
62. According to the first three paragraphs, we learn that _________.
A. the writer was unpacking when her father was making the surprise
B. the writer knew what the surprise was because she knew her father
C. it was not the first time that the writer’s father had made a surprise
D. it kept bothering the writer not knowing what the surprise was
63. Which of the following would most probably be the worst time of the year as seen
by the writer?
A. Spring.
B. Summer.
C. Autumn.
D. Winter.
64. The writer’s father should be best described as_________.
A. a full-time gardener with skillful hands
B. a part-time jobber who loved flowers
C. a kind-hearted man who lived with faith
D. an ordinary man with doubts in his life
65. At the end of the passage, crocus was viewed as the symbol of _________ by the writer.
A. faith
B. family
C. love
D. friendship
