We are certainly materially better off than we were 20 most people still seem to be weighed 21 by problems. My daughter and her family are a good 22 . They have a spacious, comfortable home with every labor-saving device you can 23 . There’s a washing machine, a clothes dryer, and all sorts of other household items which are 24 to save time but it seems to me that my daughter and her husband just spend all that “saved” time 25 !

We had all sorts of fun and games in the nearby woods. But, of course, children can’t play 33 outdoors any longer.

That was enough to make him important,but the father loved him especially, because he knew his son was going to bean artist. Pablo knew the word for pencil even before he could see Mamma and Papa. When he was small, he spent hours by himself making delightful little drawings of animals and people. If his mother sent him out to play in the square, he went on drawing in the dust under the trees.Don Jose Ruiz, Pablo’s father, was director of the m useum in southern Spain. He earned only a small salary, but there was not much work to do and he was able to practice his hobby, which was painting pigeons. Don loved pigeons very much. He painted them dead or alive in ones and twos and in dozens. Sometimes he painted them on paper, cut them out and stuck them onto canvas(画布); sometimes he stuck real feathers onto his pictures. He knew a greatdeal about the technique of painting and he taught it all to Pablo.Life in Malaga was very pleasant. In the hot sunshine father and son would walk down to the beach to look at the boats on the shore or wander around the open markets. They made a strange pair. Don was tall and thin, with red hair and beard, sad gray eyes and a fine set of whiskers (腮须). He was so shy and correct that he was nicknamed “the Englishman”. Pablo was quite the opposite. He had his mother’s small, strong build (体格); he had straight black hair, and bright black eyes that noticed everything that was going on around him.36. Picasso’s fa ther loved him especially, because .A. he was the only boy in the familyB. he was going to be an important person to his familyC. he showed the gift of an artist in his early childhoodD. he looked like his mother37. Pablo’s father painted a lot because .A. he didn’t have enough moneyB. he had plenty of timeC. he liked the pigeons, especially the dead onesD. he looked after the museum38. Don Jose Ruiz and Pablo were a strange pair because .A. they liked to wander about the townB. they noticed everything that was going on around themC. one was tall and thin, the other was small and strongD. they looked so different from each other39. The best title of the passage might be .A. Pablo Picasso: the great artistB. The Boyhood of Pablo PicassoC. Father of A Great ArtistD. Father’s Influence (影响) on His Son二Benjamin Franklin was truly what we call a “jack of all trades”. Although best known for his experiments with electricity, Franklin was a scientist, a politician, and almost everything in between.Franklin was born in Boston in 1706, the tenth and youngest of hisfather’s sons. When he was 12, Franklin worked as an apprentice. He worked in his older brother James’ printing shop. He secretly started publishing his writing under the false name of Silence Dogood. James wasn’t pleased when he found out the writer was Ben. Ben stopped his job and set out for Philadelphia.In 1732, Franklin began publishing Poor Richard’s Almanack, where most of his sayings can be found. Many of these , such as “A penny saved is a penny earned”, remain popular today.Franklin is known as a Founding Father. This means that he was part of the group of men who founded their nation. He was a member of the Continental Congress and also the oldest person to sign both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.Electricity and weather were especially interesting to Franklin. He proved that lightning is electricity by catching sparks from a cloud while flying a kite in a storm.As Ben says, “If you would not be forgotten when you are dead and rotten, eithe r write things worth reading or do things worth writing about. ”His theory seems to work, because Ben followed both pieces of his own advice, and we still remember him centuries later!40. Though Franklin did many kinds of work, he .A. is mostly remembered for his experiments with electricityB. is better known as a Founding FatherC. is best known as the oldest man who signed the DeclarationD. is remembered mostly as the author of Poor Richard’s Almanack41. The underlined word in the second paragraph probably means someone .A. who owns a printing shopB. who learns a trade by working with a skilled personC. who is skilled at his workD. who does business with a printing shop42. From the last paragraph we can see that ______.A. Franklin not only wrote things worth reading but also did things worth writing aboutB. Franklin listened to others’ advice and was remembered by the AmericansC. Franklin wrote things worth reading rather than did things worthwriting aboutD. many people followed his advice and succeeded at last三A star usually is someone who has become famous in sports, film, or pop music, someone like singer Michael Jackson. In the middle nineteen eighties, Michael Jackson successfully made a famous record, which quickly became the most popular recording in the history of music. This made Michael Jackson a bright star.One of the famous sports bright stars in the United States is Mohammed Ali. When he was a young man, he won a gold medal in the Olympic Games as a boxer. Then, he won first place in the world heavy weight boxing match. Before long, he was known as one of the greatest and most famous boxers in sports history. Everyone knows his name.Like the stars in the sky, a bright star will lose his brightness as time passes. He is loved by millions of people today, but will be forgotten tomorrow.43. What does this passage mainly talk about?A. Michael JacksonB. Mohammed AliC. pop music and boxingD. bright stars44. Michael Jackson is famous for .A. his songsB. his filmC. his sportsD. his heavy weight45. What does “boxer” in the passage mean in Chinese?A. 盒子B. 装箱者C. 拳击手D. 制作人46.

They will be the most important people in history.D. They will lose their brightness and be little known.四. 翻译句子。

His parents were told that there was probably only one man who could save Joseph's life — Louis Pasteur.When Pasteur was a young boy in France, he spent many hours every day with the chemist (药剂师) who lived in his small town. At that time, the chemist had to make all the medicines himself. Young Louis enjoyed watching the chemist as he worked and helped those people who came to him each day.As a schoolboy, Pasteur worked slowly and carefully. At first, his teachers thought that young Louis might be a slow learner. Through elementary school, high school, and college, Pasteur worked in the same thoughtful way. Then he became a college professor (教授) and a scientist, and he continued to work very carefully.Pasteur was studying about the germs (细菌) that cause rabies when Joseph Meister became ill. In fact, Pasteur believed he had a medical treatment for rabies, but he had never given it to a person before. At first, Pasteur was afraid to treat Joseph,but the poor child was dying. Pasteur gave Joseph an inoculation (预防接种) every day for ten days. Slowly, the child became better.During his lifetime, Pasteur studied germs and learned how they cause diseases in animals and people. He developed vaccinations (疫苗) that prevent many of these diseases. On September 28, 1895, Louis Pasteur passed away, at the age of 72. The work of this great man has been of great help to modern medicine.25. The story of Joseph Meister is given to _____.A. express the author's sadnessB. introduce the subject of the textC. show some common diseases in 1885D. warn children to stay away from dogs26. According to the text, young Louis _____.A. was once badly hurt by a dogB. was very interested in medicineC. made a living by working for a chemistD. had been thought highly of by his teachers27. We can learn from Paragraph 3 that Louis Pasteur _____.A. was always patientB. was clever but proudC. was a slow learnerD. was a humorous professor28. What would be the best title for the text?A. Germs and diseasesB. Rabies: a terrible diseaseC. The earliest chemist in FranceD. Louis Pasteur: a great scientistCNavarathri, which is celebrated throughout India, falls in September or October. On the first three days, people pray (祈祷) to the goddess Durga, the protector who destroys all evil (邪恶). The next three days they pray to Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth. Then, also for three days, they look to Saraswathi, the goddess of wisdom and knowledge. The tenth and final day of the festival is for the goddess Durga. On this day many years ago, Durga killed the evil buffalo-headed monster (怪物), Mahishasura.My daughter and I took out the models of the gods and goddesses that we had stored away last year. Soon the room was littered with all kinds of dolls. We usually buy at least one new doll every year. On the tenth day, the dolls are carefully put away. If a doll is too damaged to be shown, it is never thrown away. Instead, it is put deep into the seas.In our hallway six long wooden steps are set up. First, we spread a thick white cloth (布) over the steps. Now it's time to put the dolls on the steps carefully. Every year, the gollu is different. Sometimes — as the collection grows — there is no space to fit all of the dolls on the steps. Smaller dolls can also be placed on the floor.Every night there are prayers, music, dancing, and a large meal for many people. In northern India, the children sing songs while doing the dandiya raas, a traditional dance. Every dancer also has two wooden sticks — called dandiya — that he or she uses to make a sound in time to the lovely music. Dancing the dandiya raas helps people think of the true meaning of Navarathri — togetherness, laughter, and fun!29. According to Paragraph 1, Navarathri _____.A. is just celebrated in Northern IndiaB. usually takes place in the winterC. is in memory of DurgaD. lasts for about ten days30. How do Indians deal with the dolls used at Navarathri?A. They always take good care of the dolls.B. They usually throw away the broken dolls.C. They have to buy many new dolls every year.D. They keep the dolls in the hallway for a month.31. The underlined wo rds “the gollu” in Paragraph 3 probably mean _____.A. the collection of Indian songsB. the number of wooden stepsC. the showing of the dollsD. the color of the cloth32. What is mainly described in the text?A. Some traditional dancesB. Three goddesses in IndiaC. The history of NavarathriD. A popular festival in IndiaDThe United States has more tornadoes (龙卷风) than any other country in the world. In a normal year there are 800 to 1,000 tornadoes. Most happen in the middle part of the country. Tornadoes form when warm and cool air meet. In the Midwest, the warm air from the Gulf of Mexico often meets the cold air from Canada.The usual tornado season is March through May. Tornadoes form most often in the afternoon and early evening. There is often no warning of a tornado. People who live in the Midwest know the signs (征兆) of tornado activity. The sky becomes dark, often a greenish color. Dark clouds appear in the sky and there is often large hail (冰雹). Suddenly, there is a loud sound, like a train or a jet plane. Sometimes, two, three, five, ten or more tornadoes can form over a large area.This type of tornado activity hit Oklahoma and Kansas in May 1999. The day was stormy, with heavy thunderstorms in the afternoon. As the storms continued, tornadoes began to form. Dozens of tornadoes hit towns and neighborhoodsin Oklahoma, then in Kansas. Some stayed on the ground for several hours, destroying everything they touched. The tornadoes killed 43 people and injured 600 others. They destroyed thousands of homes and businesses. In some areas, not one home stood. In other areas, the tornadoes destroyed every home on the left side of thestreet, but didn't touch any homes on the right side. The tornadoes lifted people and cars into the air and then threw them back down to earth. So it is important to know where to hide and how to protect yourself in the face of a tornado.33. What can we learn about tornadoes in America?A. They may appear in groups.B. They usually happen in the summer.C. There are more tornadoes in the Eastern States.D. There are more than 1,000 tornadoes every year.34.

Sue Chaseling of Petcare Information Service said the practice of keeping office pets was good both for the people and the pets . “On the pets’ side , they are not left on their own and won’t feel lonely and unhappy,” she said .A study of major US companies showed that 73% found office pets beneficial (有益的) , while 27% experienced a drop in absenteeism (缺勤).Xarni Riggs has two cats walking around her Global Hair Salon in Paddington . “My customers love them.

But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laugh turned into crying.. So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the same part of the brain. Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so, too, does crying.Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional (情感的) health, and crying seems to study found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report feeling better after crying.Besides, tears attract help from other people. Researchers agree that when we cry, people around us become kinder and friendly and they are more ready to provide support and comfort. Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better; sometimes we don't even know we' re very sad until we cry. We learn about our emotions through Crying, and then we can deal with them.Just as crying can be healthy, not crying —holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering — can be bad for physical (身体的) health, Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high blood pressure, heart problems andsome other illnesses. If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, don't fight it. It's a natural — and healthy — emotional response (反应).53. Why didn't the author cry when her grandmother died?A. Because her father did not --ant her to feel too sad.B. Because she did not love her grandmother.C. Because she was too shy to cry at that time.D. Tie author doesn’t give the explanation.54. According to the author, which of the following statements is true?A.

Thank you from the deepest bottom of my heart!The earthquake occurred at night. We just felt the earth shook fiercely and it rose and fell sharply. Thousands of people came out of their house to find shelters! The walls of many buildings cracked and collapsed! When the earthquake was at an end, it ruined all the fortunes of the town, cutting off the supply of water and electricity! A great number of people got injured; some even were buried under the ruins! Luckily, the government called in the army and organized a lots of people to rescue the people, they sent the injured to hospital and dug out the buried, sending them to hospital too.Though the disaster causes huge damage, but after a storm comes a calm, everything here is now returning to normal, the government are preparing something to predict earthquake. By the way, I am rewarded with the honor of Brave Citizen for having helped the injured people to hospital I am excited though I wasfresh at that!How are you going? Hope to hear from you again!May everything of you go well!BThe earthquake that happened in Tangshan on July 28,1976 was recorded the greatest earthquake in the 20th century. The power of the quake was so great that two-thirds of the nation felt it and it produced an eight-kilometer-long and thirty-meter-wide crack that ran across the city, destroying everything in its course. Within fifteen minutes, the city fell into ruins. Steam could be seen rising from holes in the ground; fires were burning here and there and buildings lay in pieces. All the city’s hospitals, seventy percent of its factories and buildings and ninety percent of its homes were ruined, railways and bridges went out of use and the livestock suffered heavy losses. The number of people who were killed or injured reached more than 400,000. Many wives became widowers, husbands became bachelors and children became orphans. It was one of the most destructive natural disasters that we humans ever experienced. Earthquakes can’t be prevented or stopped but it can bepredicted. People can tell the coming of an earthquake, especially big ones, 16 through scientific equipment or by careful observation. As was the case in Tangshan, just three days before the earthquake, there were already signs that something was about to happen. The water in the village wells rose and fell for no obvious reasons and there were cracks in the walls of the village wells, out of which came smelly gases. Chickens, ducks and even pigs were too nervous to eat; fish jumped out of ponds; mice which usually stayed hidden in the fields ran out to look for places to hide. People at that time didn’t take these signs seriously just because they didn’t know what they really meant.It is very important to educate people to be careful observers. It not only helps people to make discoveries, but also save lives sometimes.VI．书面表达 (满分25分)北京市将举办主题为“Protecting Mother Earth”的中学生英语作文竞赛。

Recently a test was given in the United States.Those tested included people of different ages, from 12 to 83. During the experiment, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast. The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effect than if he or she has no breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains. If a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention to class.Opposite to what many people believe, if you don't eat breakfast, you will not lose weight. Thisis because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch, and end up gaining weight instead of losing. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.51.During the test, those who were tested were given ________.A.no breakfast at allB.very rich breakfastC.little food for breakfastD.different breakfast or none52.The results of the test show that ________.A.breakfast has great effect on work and studiesB.breakfast has little to do with a person s workC.a person will work better if he has a simple breakfastD.those working with brains should have much for breakfast53.The passage mentions that many people believe that if you don't eat breakfast, you will_________.A. lose weightB. not lose weightC. be healthierD. gain a lot of weight54.Which of the following is not true according to the passage?A.Poor breakfasts affect those who work with brains.B.Morning diet may cause one to get fatter.C.Reducing lunch and supper is of less value in weight losing.D.Eating less in lunch and supper may help to lose weight.55.According to the passage, if a student does not eat breakfast, ___________.A. he will fall illB. he will fail to listen to his teacherC. he will not make progress in his studyD. his mind will work more slowlyBA young woman carrying a three-year-old child got on a bus. The conductor hurried to giveher a warm welcome and then kindly asked the other passengers to make more room for the woman and her child. On seeing this, people began to talk. "You know this conductor used to be very rude. Now suddenly he has changed his bad behavior , "said a middle-aged man."Yes, he should be praised and we must write a letter to the company," said a second passenger. "That's right," another lady said, "I wish a newspaper reporter were here so that more people could learn from this conductor. "Just then a gentleman who looked like a teacher turned to the conductor and said , "Excuse me, but can I know your name, please? Your excellent service must be praised..."Before he could open his mouth, the three-year-old child sitting on the young woman's lap interrupted, "I know his name. I call him Dad."56.The passengers were ________ to see the conductor's kindness to the woman and the child.A. excitedB. pleasedC. interestedD. surprised57. One passenger suggested writing a letter to the company to ______.58.What was the gentleman?A.A teacher.B.A newspaper reporter.C.Not known from the story.D.The conductor's friend from his company.59.The word "he" in the last paragraph refers to _______.A.the gentlemanB.the conductorC.the middle-aged manD.the three-year-old child60.It is clear from the story that the conductor _______.A.has changed his attitude towards his workB.has now been kind and polite to all passengersC.has not changed his rude behavior to passengersD.has now been kind and polite to women with childrenCHave you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? Many people are afraid to support themselves. Dr Robert Albert, author of Stand Up, Speak Out, and Talk Back thinks it' s because their self-respect is low. "There's always a' superior' around--- parent, a teacher, a boss---ho knows better."But Albert and other scientists are doing something to help people help themselves. They offer "assertiveness training" courses A.T. for short. In the A.T. Course people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be aggressive without hurting other people.In one way, learning to speak out is to get rid of fear. A group taking an A.T. Course will help the timid person to lose his fear. But A.T. uses an even stronger motive--- he need to share. The timid person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels. Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-respect. If someone you face is more "important" than you, you may feel less of a person. You start to doubt your answers to problems. You can getto feel good about yourself. And once you do you can learn to speak out.61.The problem the writer talks about is that __________.A.some people buy things they don't wantB.some people are afraid to speak out for their rightsC. there are too many superiorsD. some people don't think enough of themselves62.The cause of the problem talked about in this passage is that _________.A.some people have a low self-respectB.there is always someone around who "knows better"C.salesmen talk people into buying things they don't wantD.people don t share enough63.The A.T. Course often _______.A.make people distrust their own answersB.make things more favorable for "superiors"C.help people know as much as their "superiors"D.help people become more important64.One thing the A.T. Course don't do is to __________.A.share the need of peopleB.show they have a right to be themselvesC.help people overcome fearD.help people to help themselves even if others suffer65. A good title for this passage could be "__________".A.The Need to ShareB.Talk Back When NecessaryC.One Way to Build Self-RespectD.One Way to Train Speaking Ability第二节信息般配 (共 5 小题；每题 2 分，满分10 分 )阅读以下应用文及相关信息，并依照要求般配信息。

N. emergency relief official Jan Egeland said there is still no way to measure exactly the scope of the disaster. “What we can see is that a very, very major, perhaps one of the most shocking natural disasters ever is confirmed,” he saidMr. Egeland pointed to parts of Indonesia and the island nation of Maldives as areas about which nothing is known.“Several areas have not yet been estimated or even visited. This is along the Sumatra coastline. There are islands in Maldives that no one has ever got to since the tsunami hit,” said Mr. Egeland.Maldives is made up of more than 1,200 islands off the southern coast of India. Maldivian Ambassdor Latheef says some of the islands may have been washed away forever.Jan Egeland and a team of U. N. aid experts met ambassadors of half a dozen countries Tuesday to begin arrangement aid deliveries in order of importance.Afterward, he said that the request for international help would be the largest ever made by the world because so many countries were hit. But Mr. Egeland said he was encouraged that many of the hit countries appeared to a great degree to be able to take care of themselves. Mr. Egeland also said international response to the disaster has been, in his words “extremely positive”.Indonesian official Atiyanto told reporters his country’s mostly needed things included body bags, fresh water, as well as food, especially baby food, and medicine. But nearly 72 hours after the tsunami struck, Mr. Atiyanto admitted he has no idea of the scope of the tragedy. Pressed by reporters for an estimate of his country’s needs, he said “We are still waiting.”36. What does Mr. Egeland mean by “pointed to parts of Indonesia and the islandnation of Maldives as areas about which nothing is known”?A. He never heard of them until the tsunami happened.B. He will never visit these areasC. He had got no information about the deaths and damage to these areas till then.D. He didn’t know whether tsunami hit these areas at that time.37. Why is the tsunami considered the worst disaster?A. There are so many islands in Maldives that no one has ever got to.B, The deaths and damage went up high and was still rising.C. Many countries were hit by it and caused great loss of lives and other damageshard to estimate.D. The international response to the disaster is very positive.38. We can infer from Mr. Atiyanto’s words that ___________A. he is unable to deal with the disaster properly.B. telling the reporters the fact will probably cause troubleC. the disaster is the worst ever and is difficult to make a clear estimate.D. the U. N. hasn’t promised him much help and they have to deal with thedisaster themselves.BSingapore, Tues. Eight people —three of them women —died after being trapped in an antic when fire gutted their two—storey terrace yesterday.In the tragedy, about thirty— six people were sleeping in the building when the fire started by a short circuit broke out. Most of them managed to rush out in time.One of the first to leave the building was Miss Poh, nineteen, a factory worker, who was awakened from her sleep by shout of “Fire!” shortly after 3: 00 a. m.She said: “I shouted to the other tenants to get out. By this time, the first floor was in flames and I could hear people crying and screaming. Someone brought a ladder and places it against the wall, but it only went up as far as the first floor. There was no hope for those trapped in the attic. ”One man who did escape from the attic told reporters that he could only saved himself by going through the ventilation opening in the roof and climbing to an adjoining building.China Meng, twenty, a fitter, wept as he recalled how he had to leave his parents behind. He said: “When I tried to return for my parents, I was driven back by the thicksmoke and the heat. ”Shortly after the blaze was spotted, three fire engines raced to the scene and by 4 a. m. had the fire under control.The MP for the area visited the scene and said: “He has not given due thought to the safety of his fire.”39. ________ males were killed in the fire,A. EightB. FiveC. ThreeD. Thirty—six40. The fire started __________A. after Miss Poh awoke from her helpB. at about 3 a. m.C. in the daytimeD. quite some time after 3: 10 a. m.41. The fire brigade took ________ to get the fire under control.A. about an hourB. three hoursC. ten minutesD. four hoursCIt is interesting that the arrival of snow has the effect on people in different countries. For some countries it is an important happening to celebrate each year, while for others a catastrophe (灾害) or even a wonder.But there are countries between these two kinds that normally expect snow some time over the winter months, but never receive snow regularly or in the same quantities every year. Britain is one of them, for which the arrival of snow quite simply creates problems. Within hours of the first snowfalls, however light roads are blocked, trains and buses have to stop in the middle of the way. Normal communications are affected as well: telephone calls become difficult and the post immediately takes more time than usual. And almost within hours there are also certain shortages—bread, vegetables and other things—not because all these things can no longer be produced or sent to shops, but mainly because people are frightened and go out and store up with food and so on—“just for fear that something bad should happen”.But why does snow have this effect? After all, the Swiss, the Australians and the Canadians don’t have such problems. It is simply because there is not enoughplanning and preparation. We need money to buy equipment to deal with snow and ice. To keep the roads clear, for example, requires snow-ploughs and machines to spread salt. The reason why a country like Britain does not buy snow-ploughs is that they are only used for a few days in any one year, and the money could be more useful in other things such as hospitals, education, helping the old and so on.42. According to the writer, Britain is a country .A. which has regular snowB. which is not well prepared for snowC. for which snow is a catastropheD. for which snow is a wonder43. After a few hours’ snow there is often some shortage of food because .A. shops have closed downB. people buy as much as they canC. farmers cannot produce any moreD. people eat more vegetables in winter44. The first reason why the British do not buy snow-ploughs is that .A. spreading salt is good enoughB. old people need more moneyC. snow-ploughs are not used oftenD. the hospital is more important45. The underlined words “two kinds” mean the countries .A. which have snow either as yearly happening to celebrate or as rare weatherB. which either have heavy snow or light snowC. to which snow either causes problems or no problemsD. which either have snow-ploughs or no snow-ploughs四、短文改错Last month we bought our two -year-old daughter the 1_______ little dog.

Sue Chaseling of Petcare Information Service said the practice of keeping office pets was good both for the people and the pets . “On the pets’ side , they are not left on their own and won’t feel lonely and unhappy,” she said . A study of major US companies showed that 73% found office pets beneficial (有益的) , while 27% experienced a drop in absenteeism (缺勤).Xarni Riggs has two cats walking around her Global Hair Salon in Paddington . “My customers love them.

But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laugh turned into crying.. So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the same part of the brain. Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so, too, does crying.Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional (情感的) health, andcrying seems to study found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report feeling better after crying.Besides, tears attract help from other people. Researchers agree that when we cry, people around us become kinder and friendly and they are more ready to provide support and comfort. Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better; sometimes we don't even know we' re very sad until we cry. We learn about our emotions through Crying, and then we can deal with them.Just as crying can be healthy, not crying — holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering —can be bad for physical (身体的) health, Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high blood pressure, heart problems and some other illnesses. If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, don't fight it. It'sa natural — and healthy — emotional response (反应).53. Why didn't the author cry when her grandmother died?A. Because her father did not --ant her to feel too sad.B. Because she did not love her grandmother.C. Because she was too shy to cry at that time.D. Tie author doesn’t give the e xplanation.54. According to the author, which of the following statements is true?A. Crying is the best way to get help from others.B. Fighting back tears may cause some health problems.C. We will never know our deep feelings unless we cry.D. We must cry if we want to reduce pressure.55. What might be the most suitable title for the text?A. Power of TearsB. How to Keep HealthyC. Why We CryD.

Thank you from the deepest bottom of my heart!The earthquake occurred at night. We just felt the earth shook fiercely and it rose and fell sharply. Thousands of people came out of their house to find shelters! The walls of many buildings cracked and collapsed! When the earthquake was at an end, it ruined all the fortunes of the town, cutting off the supply of water and electricity! A great number of people got injured; some even were buried under the ruins! Luckily, the government called in the army and organized a lots of people to rescue the people, they sent the injured to hospital and dug out the buried, sending them to hospital too.Though the disaster causes huge damage, but after a storm comes a calm, everything here is now returning to normal, the government are preparing something to predict earthquake. By the way, I am rewarded with the honor of Brave Citizen for having helped the injured people to hospital I am excited though I was fresh at that!How are you going? Hope to hear from you again!May everything of you go well!BThe earthquake that happened in Tangshan on July 28,1976 was recorded the greatest earthquake in the 20th century. The power of the quake was so great that two-thirds of the nation felt it and it produced an eight-kilometer-long and thirty-meter-wide crack that ran across the city, destroying everything in its course. Within fifteen minutes, the city fell into ruins. Steam could be seen rising from holes in the ground; fires were burning here and there and buildings lay in pieces. All the city’s hospitals, seventy percent of its factories and buildings and ninety percent of its homes were ruined, railways and bridges went out of use and the livestock suffered heavy losses. The number of people who were killed or injured reached more than 400,000. Many wives became widowers, husbands became bachelors and children became orphans. It was one of the most destructive natural disasters that we humans ever experienced.Earthquakes can’t be prevented or stopped but it can be predicted. People can tell the coming of an earthquake, especially big ones, 16 through scientific equipment or by careful observation. As was the case in Tangshan, just three days before the earthquake, there were already signs that something was about to happen. The water in the village wells rose and fell for no obvious reasons and there were cracks in the walls of the village wells, out of which came smelly gases. Chickens, ducks and even pigs were too nervous to eat; fish jumped out of ponds; mice which usually stayed hidden in the fields ran out to look for places to hide. People at that time didn’t take these signs seriously just because they didn’t know what they really meant.It is very important to educate people to be careful observers. It not only helps people to make discoveries, but also save lives sometimes.VI．书面表达(满分25分)北京市将举办主题为“Protecting Mother Earth”的中学生英语作文竞赛。

She was just ready to go downstairs when she found that her Spanish money wasn't in her handbag. She carefully looked in all her luggage, but she couldn't find it. All she had was a small purse with ten English pound notes in it!Ann found a place to change her English money. She had very few pesetas (西班牙货币单位), and she would be here for two weeks. On her way back to the hotel, Ann bought some cheese, some bread and some oranges. When she got back, she told the manager that her doctor had told her not to eat Spanish food; she'd just have breakfast each day, as she knew the price of hotels included breakfast.For the rest of her holiday, Ann swam in the hotel swimming pool, or lay on the beach and got a sunbath. When the other tourists went to interesting places, she always said she wasn't well. In fact, her holiday wasn't bad, except that she was always hungry. After all, a piece of fruit for lunch, and bread and cheese for supper isn't very much ...Late in the afternoon of their last day, a girl, Jane, asked her why she never ate with them in the hotel restaurant. Ann told her about her money problems. Jane looked at her for a minute, and then said, “But didn't you know? The price of this holiday includes everything!”56. “A package trip” probably means ________.A. a free tripB. a long journeyC. a pleasant tripD. a trip that includes the cost of all the tickets and services57.

Because she liked them more than dinners in the hotel restaurant.D. Because she is afraid that she couldn't eat enough in the hotel restaurant.59.

Almost 20 percent of this area is well below sea level, andBadwater, a salt water pool, is about 280 feet below sea level and th e lowest point in the United States.Long ago the Indians called this place “Tomesha”— the land of fire. Death Valley's present name dates back to 1849, when a group of miners coming from Nevada became lost in its unpleasantness and hugeness and their adventure turned out to be a sad story. Today Death Valley ha s been called a National Monument (遗迹) and is crossed by several well-marked roads where good services can be found easily. Luckily the change created by human settlement has scarcely (几乎没有) ruined the special beauty of this place.Here nature created a lot of surprising sights, almost like the sights on the moon, ever-changing as the frequent (频繁的) wind moves the sand about, showing the most unusual colors. One of the most astonishing and changeable parts of Death Valley is the Devil' s Golf Course, where it seems hard for one to tell reality from terrible dreams. Sand sculptures (沙雕) stand on a frightening ground as evening shadows move and lengthen.60. According to the first paragraph, ______ is the lowest place in the United States.A. TomeshaB. Death ValleyC. NevadaD. Badwater61. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A. no one had ever known the desert before the minersB. it's still not easy to travel across the desertC. people can now find gas-stations, cafes and hotels in the desertD. people have greatly changed the natural sight of the desert62. Devil Golf Course is famous for _______.A. the frequent windB. the colors of the sandC. dream-like sightsD. the sand sculptures63. From the passage we can see that the writer _______ the Death Valley.A. appreciatesB. is fearful ofC. dislikesD. is tired ofＣHow much paper do you use every year? Perhaps you can't answer that question quickly. In 1900 the world's use of paper was about one kilogram for each person in a year. Now some countries use as much as 100 kilograms of paper for each person in a year. The amount of paper a country uses shows how far advanced the country is, some people say. It is difficult to say whether this is true: different people mean different things by the word “advanced”. But countries like the United States, England and Sweden certainly use more paper than other countries.Paper, like many other things that we use today, was first made in China. In Egypt and the West, paper was not very commonly used before the year 1400.The Chinese first made paper about 2,000 years ago. China still has pieces of paper which were made as long ago as that. But Chinese paper was not made from the wood of trees. It was made from the hairlike parts of certain plants.Paper was not made in southern Europe until about the year 1100. Scandinavia— which now makes a great deal of the world's paper — did not begin to make it until 1500. It was a German named Schaeffer who found out that trees could be made into the best paper. After that, the forest countries of Canada, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and the United States became the most important in paper making. Today in Finland, which makes the best paper in the world, the paper industry is the biggest in the land.64.

The H5N1 virus has killed at least 153 people worldwide since it began hitting Asian poultry (家禽) in late 2003, according to the World Health Organization, with over a third of the human deaths in Indonesia.Most of those killed have been infected by house-kept poultry, but WHO fears the virus could turn into a form that easily spreads among humans, causing a nationwide disease with the possibility to kill millions.Indonesia, the world's fourth most populous (人口稠密的) country and home to millions of backyard chickens, is looked upon as a possible hot place for that to happen.The government came under fire for moving slowly to get ri d of the virus when it first appeared in chickens and ducks, but has worked hard in recent months to make the public know about the dangers of bird flu.It has also increased vaccinations (接种疫苗) and killing of birds in infected areas. But no one knows whether the action will work. After all, bird flu has been there for more than two years and killed so many people.68. This passage probably appears on the ________ page of a newspaper.A. sportsB. entertainmentC. health and lifeD. travel69. The underlined part “came under fire” in Paragraph 5 probably means _________.A. caught fireB. became angryC. got criticized (批判)D. was warm70.

Indonesia is a hot place for bird flu to happen because it has a big population of humans and chickens.C. The government of Indonesia didn't do anything against bird flu.D. The sourc e of inflection that killed the 35-year-old woman was a bird.ＥA person who is deaf when he is born is usually dumb (哑的) as well. There may be nothing wrong with his mouth and tongue, but he cannot speak. This is because he cannot hear people, so he has nothing to imitate (仿照). He may try to make sounds himself, but cannot hear his own voice. However, even though he finds it difficult to speak and cannot hear, he can learn to read. Nowadays such persons can also be taught to speak because we have modern methods and equipment, but we did not have these when Helen Keller was born.Even with modern methods and equipment, however, it is not easy for deaf children to learn to speak, though most of them succeed. When a child is deaf and blind as well, it becomes much more difficult, though it is possible. Helen Keller was born in 1880. She became very ill at the age of nineteen months. Medical knowledge was not as great then as it is now. She did not die but lost her sight and hearing. As a result, she became dumb as well. Her parents did their best to teach her, but she couldn't speak by the age of six.Then, in 1887, a teacher, Miss Sullivan, came to live with her. Miss Sullivan herself had been blind. She had been partly cured. Though she could not see very well, she was not blind. Helen was a difficult pupil at first, but in a month Helen had learned how to understand signs and how to make them herself. At last in spite of her great difficulties, Helen learned to read, write and speak, even though she was deaf and blind. She even went to college and had full education. She wrote many books, and though other people have written books about her, her own books are the ones that best explain how it feels to be deaf, dumb and blind. Her best book is ＴｈｅＳｔｏｒｙｏｆＭｙＬｉｆｅ. Perhaps you have read it. Though it was written in 1902, it is still a very interesting book. Even if you have not read it, you may have heard of Helen Keller.72. A person who is deaf at birth is also dumb because ___.A. there's something wrong with his mouth and tongueB. he cannot hear other people and he has nothing to imitateC. he doesn't like to speakD. he cannot hear his own voice73. Deaf and dumb children can be taught to speak nowadays because ________.A. we have modern methods and equipmentB. these children are eager to learn to speakC. they can hear somethingD. they have grown up74. When Helen was nineteen months old, _______.A. she died of illnessB. she was healthyC. she was very illD. she began to learn to speak75. How long did it take Keller to understand signs?A. A few days.B. Several years.C. A moment.D. A month.第四部分写作第一节短文改错I often dream of a teacher.
