Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Painting has been continuously practiced by humans for some 20,000 years. It was one of the earliest ways in which man __41__ to express his own personality and his emerging understanding of an existence beyond the material world. Unlike music and dance, however, examples of early forms of painting have __42__ to the present day. Painting,like other arts, __43__ universal qualities that make it easy for viewers of all nations and civilizations to understand and appreciate.The major __44__ examples of early painting anywhere in the world are found in Western Europe and the Russia. But some 5, 000 years ago, the areas in which important paintings were created __45__ to the eastern Mediterranean Sea and neighboring regions. Therefore, Western shared a European cultural tradition—the Middle East and Mediterranean Basin and, later, the countries of the New World.Western painting is in general distinguished by its __46__ on the representation of the human figure. The Renaissance(文艺复兴) extended this tradition through a close examination of the natural world and an investigation of balance, harmony, and perspective in the visible world. The first real __47__ from figurative painting came with the growth of landscape painting in the 17th and 18th centuries. The landscape and figurative traditions developed together in the 19th century in an atmosphere that was __48__ concerned with “painterly” qualities of the interaction of light and color and the expressive qualities of paint handling. In the 20th century these interests contributed to the development of a third __49__ tradition in Western painting, abstract painting.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Why do people go to university? There is a popular notion that a college education is something to be endured in order to become__50__ to obtain certain kinds of jobs or to go to graduate school. This is not what we are trying to do at Harvard, nor would we wish to have many students here who took such a(n) __51__ view of a college career.There are several goals we aim to reach in our undergraduate program.The most obvious one is to give knowledge—fairly __52__ knowledge in one field and a more general knowledge of a variety of other subject areas which you may choose according to your interest. But if acquiring knowledge is a self-evident part of a college education, it is __53__ the most important. Remarkably few of the facts you learn here will remain in your __54__ for many years, and some of those that do will even be proved __55__ by new knowledge.__56__, we can instill(灌输) certain attitudes of mind—a willingness to accept uncertainty, and the lack of definite truths; independence of mind, and a respect for facts and for the uncomfortable conclusions which facts sometimes lead to.In addition to these __57__ qualities, a college education should try to lay a foundation for the creative use of __58__ time. Someof this capacity can be stimulated in the classroom—in courses in the humanities and the arts. Yet, at least as much __59__ will occur outside the lecture hall—on athletic fields, in music rooms, student theaters, concert halls, and so forth.These are some of the __60__ of a liberal college education as I see them. I cannot resist concluding with a few private thoughts about our new careers at Harvard.To begin with, I hope that we will think __61__ about what we want to accomplish here. It would be __62__ for you to set your sights on some limited goal, such as getting good grades or merely getting into one or another graduate school.Second, I hope that you will give some thought to what you can do for others during your stay here. There are many problems waiting for your help, and many people who could __63__ your efforts.My final bit of advice. Whatever else we do, let us remember not to take ourselves too seriously. However great our problems may seem, however urgent our complaints, they are overshadowed（黯然失色） by the __64__ of countless other people on our planet.50. A. fascinated B. qualified C. determined D. required51. A. optimistic B. strong C. narrow D. sensitive52. A. concentrated B. expanded C. informed D. illustrated53. A. by far B. far from C. free from D. without doubt54. A. memory B. position C. evaluation D. foundation55. A. useful B. essential C. false D. common56. A. Besides B. However C. Therefore D. Somehow57. A. physical B. inborn C. emotional D. intellectual58. A. business B. study C. experiment D. leisure59. A. appreciation B. stimulation C. participation D. exposureachievements61. A. broadly B. honestly C. freely D. continually62. A. fantastic B. magic C. tragic D. basic63. A. suffer from B. profit from C. reflect onD. complain about64. A. inspiration B. difference C. ambitionsD. difficultiesSection BDirections: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, and C. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)A friend of mine, in response to a conversation we were having about the injustices of life, asked me the question: “Who said life was going to be fair, or that it was even meant to be fair?” Her question was a good one. It reminded me of something I was taught as a youngster－life isn’t fair. One of the mistakes many of us make is that we feel sorry for ourselves or for others, thinking that life should be fair or that someday it will be. It’s not and it won’t.One of the nice things about accepting the fact that life isn’t fair is that it keeps us from feeling sorry for ourselves by encouraging us to do the very best we can with what we have. Accepting this fact also keeps us from feeling sorry for others because we arestrengths and problems in the process of growing up, facing the reality and making decisions, and everyone has those times that they feel wounded or unfairly treated.The fact that life isn’t fair doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do everything in our power to improve our own lives or the world as a whole. On the contrary, it suggests that we should. When we don’t recognize or admit life isn’t fair, we tend to feel pity for others and for ourselves, a self-defeating emotion that does nothing except make everyone feel worse. When we do recognize life isn’t fair, however, we feel sympathy for others and for ourselves. And sympathy is a heartfelt emotion that delivers loving kindness to everyone it touches. The next time you find yourself thinking about the injustices of the world, try reminding yourself of this very basic fact. You may be surprised that it can push you out of self-pity and into helpful action.65. The author thought of his friend’s question as a good one because ________.A. he also wanted to know who held such an opinionB. like his friend, he also thought life was unfairC. it made him regret something during his childhoodD. he learned something from the question as a youngster66. Accepting the injustices of life will ______.A. stop us making everything perfectB. let us deal with others differentlyC. get us to feel sorry for othersD. inspire us to make every effort67. In the last paragraph, “this very basic fact” refers to thefact that ______.A. life is not and will not be fairB. you should not pity for othersC. pity is a self-defeating emotionD. sympathy is a heartfelt emotion68. From the passage, we can learn that the author’s attitude to life is ______.A. indifferentB. self-pityC. negativeD. positive(B)people, it will ________.A. stand the test of timeB. have a decent historyof useC. be included in the dictionaryD. be rejectedtemporarily70. Which of the following is not a necessary step of the new word inclusion process?A. Researching the word.B. Consulting users.C. Crafting the entry.D. Sourcing new words.71. What is the purpose of presenting this graph?A. To encourage people to use the online database.B. To promote the new version of dictionary.C. To respond to people’s request about the word inclusion process.D. To inform people of the new words to be included in the dictionary.CWhat are feelings for? Most nonscientists will find it a strange question. Feelings justify themselves. Emotions give meaning and depth to life. They exist without serving any other purposes. On the other hand, many evolutionary biologists acknowledge some emotions primarily for their survival function. For both animals and humans, fear motivates the avoidance of danger, love is necessary to care for the young, and anger prepares one to hold ground. But the fact that a behavior functions to serve survival need not mean that. Other scientists have regarded the same behavior as conditioning and learned responses. Certainly reflexes(反射) and fixed action patterns can occur without feeling or conscious thought. A baby seagull pecks(啄) at a red spot on the bill(喙) of its parent. Theseagull parent feeds its baby when pecked on the bill and the baby gets fed. The interaction need have no emotional content.At the same time, there is no reason why such actions cannot have emotional content. In mammals that have given birth including humans, milk is often released automatically when a new baby cries. This is not under intended control but it is reflex. Yet this does not mean that feeding a new baby is exclusively reflex and expresses no feeling like love. Humans have feelings about their behavior even if it is conditioned or reflexive. Yet since reflexes exist and conditioned behavior is widespread, measurable, and observable, most scientists try to explain animal behavior by using only these concepts. It is simpler.Preferring to explain behavior in ways that fit science's methods most easily, scientists have refused to consider any causes for animal behavior other than reflexive and conditioned ones. Scientific orthodoxy (正统) holds that what cannot be readily measured or tested cannot exist, or is unworthy of serious attention. But emotional explanations for animal behavior need not be impossibly complex or unstable. They are just more difficult for the scientific method to check on in the usual ways, so cleverer and more skillful approaches are called for. Most branches of science are more willing to make successive evaluation of what may prove ultimately unknowable, rather than ignoring it altogether.72. The example of the baby seagull pecking the parent’s bill is used to support that ______.A. it is an inborn ability for adults to look after the youngB. behaviors can be learned and involve no emotionsC. emotions are of great importance for survivalD. it takes time for animals to be conditioned73. Which of the following can be learned from the passage?A. Breast-feeding a baby is conditioned or reflective but have no emotional connection.of animal emotions.C. Scientists usually apply reflexes and conditioning inexplaining animal behaviors.D. Many evolutionary biologists believe that emotions are to somedegree for survival.74. To study animal emotions, scientists should ______.A. analyze human emotionsB. distinguish what is emotionalC. set up improved experimentsD. learn from animal behaviorists75. What is the author’s main purpose of writing this passage?A. To illustrate that emotions are worth our attention.B. To compare human emotions with animal emotions.C. To discuss the importance and usefulness of emotions.D. To explain what reflexive and conditioned behaviors are.Section CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for eachparagraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.Saving money and being more economical is neither a science nor an art; rather it is somewhere in between and requires your commitment and hard work. Saving money takes time to develop, needs to be learnt, and brings benefits that will endure for the rest of your life.76. ______Review what you spend and look at ways you can save money. Consider making telephone calls for instance only at off-peak times. Do you really need to have newspapers and magazines delivered? Can you do without those coffees you buy at break time everyday－would a flask of coffee taken to work save you money? What about using the public lending library instead of buying books or music CDs?77. ______This is essential for families and individuals and can be the fastest way to save money. You will instantly see your incomings and outgoings once you figure out the amount of money available to spend. You will not be able to save money unless you know how much money you have coming in, and how much money you have going out.78. ______Do your price research before you make an expensive purchase in a retailers promotion. You have to be sure the promotion really is not a creative marketing strategy of the store to encourage you tospend your money without thinking. Once you have researched the true price of a product (any product) you are in a good position to take advantage of a promotion, special offer or discount and really save money.79. ______Consider markets, superstores, farmer’s markets, local shops and stores. Anywhere is worth checking out to see if you can save money. Farmer’s Markets can be particularly good places to save money. Typically you are buying direct from the producer of the product so the savings are passed on to you. Use your bulk buying strategy here －farmer’s markets often offer opportunities to save money by buying larger quantities of staples, for instance potatoes, rice or corn.80. ______We live in a consumer society where waste is a huge problem. If we could all use and consume less, there would be less waste and power consumption. Consider using less shampoo when you wash your hair, this may not mean washing your hair less effectively but it means not flushing the excess shampoo and your money down the drain. Turnoff lights, the TV and the computer when they are not in use. Each little saving you make will build up and enable you to save money. Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.The internal greenhouse effect of a daffodil(水仙花)Early pollinators (授粉昆虫)struggle with cold weather, so it's nowonder that late-winter flowers such asdaffodil tend to have extended bloomingtimes and long-lasting flowers, some ofwhich remain open for more than two weeks.When the sun is out, they can offer a warmmicroenvironment for bees.Although they usually start showingoff in the Washington area by late February, blooming times for daffodil are highly variable, depending on variety, weather and planting location. Moisture, tree cover and mineral availability all affect flowering time, but soil temperature tends to have thegreatest influence on early-blooming flowers. The microclimate of a south-facing slope will display blooms well before flowers appear in the shadow of a building that gets only a half-day of sun.Once open, the flower can create a microclimate within itself. When sunlight hits a daffodilflower, its tube-shaped corolla acts asa tiny greenhouse, raising temperatures inside a flower as much as15 degrees higher than the surrounding air.That's good news for small bees, which in late winter have trouble getting warm enough to fly.Bumblebees and honeybees prepare to fly on cold days by exercising their flight muscles to generate heat. But mining bees, which nest in the ground, are less able to do that and are more dependent on surrounding temperatures to warm them up for takeoff.Spanish ecologist Carlos M. Herrera studied the relationship between mining bees and native daffodil flowers. The bees he studied could fly only if their internal body temperatures approached 72 degrees, yet they were able to forage(觅食) in 54-degree weather. Basking(取暖) in sunlight on the outside of a warm daffodil bloom was enough to get a bee airborne. Heat from flight muscles could thenhelp keep bees in the air, but they still relied on blossom-basking to supplement their heat needs. Although a bee inside a flower has access to warmth and food, a bee basking atop a flower can more effectively raise its temperature by absorbing heat both from direct sunlight and from the flower below.On those cooler days, bees spent most of their foraging time basking, but "flights between flowers were sometimes interrupted by sudden falls to the ground," Herrera wrote in his 1995 paper. "Fallen bees crawled into some nearby flower and basked before resuming normal foraging."(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in No MORE THAN 12 WORDS.)81. According to the passage, what can help early pollinators to survive cold weather?82. Flowers on a south-facing slope usually open earlier because of ________________.83. What does the “good news for small bees” in paragraph 4 refer to?84. A bee can raise its temperature better at the top of a flower because both ________________ are its sources of warmth.第II卷（45分）I.

Activities include sports, language learning, music and Maths classes. Now parents seem to push their children a lot more. They see other children doing a lot of things, and they feel their own children should do the same.Linda, a mother of three children in London tells us that in some families, competition starts from a very young age. Mothers send their kids to all kinds of classes when they are very young. And they are always comparing them with other children. It’s crazy. People shouldn’t push their kids so hard. Parents are trying to plan their kids’ lives for them. In fact, parents should learn to give their kids more time to themselves. On the one hand, children need organized activities. On the other hand, they also need time and freedom to relax, and they need time to do things by themselves.Key: 17. T 18. F 19. F 20. T 21. T 22. F 23. TD.

Listening ComprehensionSection ADirections:In Section A, you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers. At the end of each conversation, a question will be asked about what was said. The conversations and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a conversation and the question about it, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.1. W: We don't seem to have a reservation for you, sir. I'm sorry.M: But my secretary said that she had reserved a room for me here. I phoned her from the airport this morning just before boarding:Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?2. M: $15 for the vase is too expensive. I will pay only $ 10 for it.W: Done, sir. It's yours for$10.Q: How much less does the man pay for the vase than the original price？3. W: Mr. Watson, I wonder whether it's possible for me to take a vacation early next month.M: Did you fill out a request form？Q: What is the probable relationship between the two speakers？4. W: Attention please. Flight MU 146 from Hong Kong has arrived.M: It's now 20:25. It's been delayed for two hours！The airlines' flights are now constantly delayed.Q: At what time should the flight have arrived？5. M: Shall I put the equipment away now that you've finished with the lab work？W: Not yet, please.Q: What will the man probably do？6. M: What about going for a coffee？W: That's fine. But do you mind if I call in the library first？I've had this book out for ages. Q: What is the woman going to do first？7. M: Do you think the poster looks good here？W: Well, it's better than a blank wall.Q: What does the woman say about the poster?8. W: These shoes are very cheap. I think I'll buy three pairs.M: Why not just buy one good pair. Cheap shoes wear out very quickly.Q: What does the man suggest that the woman should do？9. M: Please get me a beer, a cold one. Y ou know, I never drink beer without ice.W: But it is winter now. Don't you think that's bad for your stomach？Q: What does the woman mean？10. W: Good morning. Say, do you know what the assignment is for our term paper in history？M: Sure. Why weren't you in class on Monday? That's when the teacher gave it out.Q: What does the man imply？Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.There are many simple ways to keep our earth healthy. Here are some ways to reduce the amount of garbage your family produces:Firstly, many communities have recycling programs. If yours doesn't, do some research. Y ou can probably find a place to take materials to be recycled.Secondly, instead of throwing away items that you no longer use, give them away or sell them. Think of new ways to reuse items that you normally throw away.What's more, take your own bags to the store instead of getting new ones each time you shop.The fourth way is to use e-mail instead of sending paper letters and cards. Pay your bills and read your newspapers online. Call companies that send you junk mail and get off their mailing lists.Lastly, buy products which are made with recycled contents. A lot of things can now be made from recycled materials.Together we can make a difference.Questions:11. According to the passage, how should you deal with the items you don't use？12. What does the passage suggest people should do?13. What is the passage mainly about?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.Many American schools have a student exchange program with foreign countries. Along with this program, there is usually another one called the“American Host Family”program. As its name indicates, the program gets American families involved in foreign students' lives in America and offers homes for them.Many American families volunteer to host foreign students. However, if there is a shortage of host families, schools also contact local people and recommend foreign students to them.The “American host family” program varies in lengths of time. It can go from a few days to a few years, depending on each individual school. The program in my school in Wisconsin is designed on a one year term. After the first year is over, it is up to foreign students and their “families” to decide if they want to stay together as a “family.” American families can ho st as many foreign students as they like. They can either have several students or just one at a time. Many families start with new students each year while still keeping in touch with the old ones. Schools usually leave it to foreign students and their host families to decide their activities after both sides meet. My school, however, sponsors activities every year: We have an annual picnic when all the host families and foreign students come together. In addition, we have other kinds of gatherings such as pot-luck dinners and tea parties several times a year. Host families and foreign students, of course, get in touch with each other any time they want. On major holidays like Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas, foreign students are usually invited to their homes for dinner. Even schools that do not have host family programs often arrange students to get together with American families on these special holiday occasions.Questions:14. How long does the host family program last?15. Which of the following is NOT included in a school's“American Host Family”program？16. What is the main purpose of the passage？Blanks 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.W: I can't take it any more. This job is killing me！M: Hey, sounds like you could take a break.W: Are you kidding？I can never finish my paperwork.M: When was the last time you took some time off?W: Come to think of it, it's been over a year. Y eah, last February. I was supposed to take off a few weeks in January, but it just got too busy around here.M: Then it sounds like a little relaxation would do you some good.W: Well, maybe you are right. And anyway, I can always bring my computer along and catch up on my work.M: Listen, leave the computer at home. Y ou need to just take it easy for a while.Blanks 21 through 24 are based on the following conversation.W: We had a nice chat to your teachers at the parents' meeting this evening.M: Actually, mum, I've been meaning to talk to you about that.W: Were you worried？Well, you needn't have been. Y our teachers are very happy with your work.In fact, we didn't have to stay at the meeting very long. They all had only one thing to say: you're doing brilliantly.M: Thanks mum. Actually, I was a bit worried but not about my grades. I…W: Y ou'd better start thinking about what university you want to go to.M: Well, that's what I want to talk to you about. I don't want to go to university.W: Y ou what? Oh, of course, it's the money. Y ou're worried about the money.M: Mum! Y ou're not listening to me. I've thought about it very carefully and I've decided to leave school at the end of the year and become a football player.W: A football player! A bright boy like you！M: I'm sorry if you're disappointed. But, look, you needn't worry about me. I do have a brilliant future ___ as a football player.参考答案第Ⅰ卷I. Section A 1~5. DBCDB 6~10.

D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题): (12分)The first time I saw Jim Wooten I really understood him. He was agreat TV news reporter. When he was reporting in Rwanda, oneheartbreaking moment made a deep impression on me. When thecamera showed all of the children who were dying, suffered fromterrible diseases,Jim ended his piece by saying that when he got home,the first thing he was going to do was to put his arms around his ownchildren. Then I realized that he was differe nt, that he didn’t fall into any of the modern television-news tricks, that he was not giving us any awful, artificial(假的) television-journalist reports out of（出于) pity. Instead, I was watching a real reporter with a gift(天赋) for both words and slight differences.Then I read his book, We Are All the Same, about his friendship with Xolani Nkosi, a South African boy who became the international spokesman for AIDS(艾滋病). It is about the friendship between Wooten and a black child who was ten years old and already dying of AIDS. It is also a book about a great teacher and his student. But the teacher－the one with real wisdom and understanding about life－is the little boy, not the journalist. And, finally, it’s about a love story of Gail Johnson, Nkosi’s white mother who does her best to save the boy, and their lo ve for each other. When reading the book, I felt touched from time to time.88. How did Jim Wooten feel when he saw the dying children in Rwanda?__________________________________________________________________.89.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) (12分)One morning, a blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said, “I am blind, please help me.”There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took out a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words on it. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the words.Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, “Are you the one who changed m y sign in the morning? What did you write? ”The man said, “I only wrote the truth, I said what you said, but in a different way. ”What he had written was, “ Today is a beautiful day, but I cannot see it.”Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.The first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.There are at least two lessons we can learn from this story.The first is: Treasure（珍惜）what you have. Someone else has less.

He said, “ I’ve done it! My calculations are perfect! You’ll be rich beyond your wildest dreams.” The rich man was very delighted to go on a long journey. He promised the wise man double pay to run his business for him.When the rich man returned, he found that all of his money was gone. Very angry, he asked the wise man to explain. The wise man told him he’d given everything away. The wise man said, “ I analyzed(分析) how a single rich man could gain the biggest wealth. But it is limited how much one man can do by himself. Then I realized that many people could help us achieve our goal. By helping other people, you could gain most.”Disappointed and angry, the rich man went away. As he was walking, several neighbours saw him. All of them had their share when the wise man gave away the man’s wealth.

He had left the college 25 years before, and he had never been back. As he walked up from station, he slowly began to feel the same excitement that he had felt when he first went there as an 18-year'-01d boy. When he received the email inviting him to the reunion (重聚) for the people of his year at college, he had felt only happy and excited. Now, as he got nearer to the college, he was nervous, yes, definitely nervous. Perhaps his classmates had all been more successful than him, or at least earned more money than him.He was happy in his job as a university lecturer, but the others were probably all lawyers, accountants and bankers. Who would be there at the reunion? He wondered. He was proud that he had studied there and glad to be back, but at the same time sad that the college was no longer part of his life, sad that he couldn't bring back those days which meant so much to him.The porter gave him a key to a room in the college. He couldn't believe it. It was his' old room. As he walked through the door, he was surprised to feel a tear rolling down his cheeks. He had never thought he would feel like this. He tried to remind himself that his times there had not always been happy, that there had been problems too. It was almost time for dinner, so he put on his black dinner jacket and bow tie and walked down to the dining hall, wondering if any of his old friends would be there.He walked into the dining hall, and there she was. She had changed a little. The smile whichhad made him fall in love with her was still the same.

The Blue Book of Chinese Teenager Financial(金融的) Study shows that social activities now take up more of teenagers’ spending. The book was about teenagers’ spending habits. It was based on studies in nine cities in China, such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The results show that students are spendingmore and more on their relationships with friends and classmates, such as having meals together and buying birthday gifts. Only one-third of high school students think about the price when choosing gifts. Most say they only care about what their friends like.Xiao Hao, 17, a student at Gaoyou Normal School in Jiangsu, spent more than 1,000 yuan on his birthday meal this February. “They had given me gifts. If I hadn’t done anything in return, I’d have lost face,” Xia said.Xia’s experience is quite usual among the young students. A meal can cost a student’s pocket money for a month. Many just ask more from parents when they use up their money.Zhang Wei, an expert on teenagers’ financial study, suggested that teenagers should learn to make a budget. A budget is a plan of how money will be spent. It helps make decisions about money. To make good use of your money, you can also set a limit. Learn to balance your wants and needs. When choosing gifts for friends, let them know that you care. Sometimes a handmade gift is much better than an expensive one.88.Were there 3 cities in China taking part in the study?(1分)____________，_______________________________________________________.89.

Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题) (12分)Happiness is a feeling that lights up your eyes, makes your steps light and makes you want to sing for no reason. Everyone wants to be happy. But sometimes, a guest comes in without invitation. It’s unhappiness. Don’t let it get you down. Send it away.When you are happy, the world feels like a better place. As the saying goes: When yousmile, the world smiles with you; when you cry, you cry alone. Wearing a smile makes you more charming(迷人的)and helps you to win lots of friends. A good mood（心情）always gives you hope, which makes trouble and problems easier to handle.No matter how happy you are, it’s normal to feel angry, sad or gloomy once in a while. Life is full of ups and downs. We can’t change the way life is, but we can do our best to change a bad situation into a good one. To help us do this, it’s good to know some of the factors（因素）that influence happiness.One of the biggest factors is social relationships. People who are close to family and friends are happier than people who don’t have those relationships. Talking and sharing is a good way to relax and build confidence. Knowing someone is there for you will make you braver and more outgoing.Another factor is work or school. If you enjoy school, even if you have lots of homework or extra classes, you will feel that your school life is meaningful and happy. But if you hate school, your negative attitude（消极的态度）may cause you to feel bored and upset that you hate to do so much work.A third factor is your attitude towards life. How do you feel if you fail in an exam? Maybe you think it’s unfair because you always study and should have got a good mark. You can’t stop blaming（责备）yourself. Or, maybe you accept it. You go through the paper carefully, find out why you made stupid mistakes, and tell yourself, “Take it easy! I’ll do better next time!” Your attitude makes a big difference.Do you smile a lot or wear a long face most of the time?88. Happiness is a feeling, isn’t it?____________, _________________________________________________.89. What makes you more charming and gives you hope?_______________________________________________________________.90. What does the underlined sentence mean according to paragraph 3?________________________________________________________________.91. What can we do when we can’t change the way life is?________________________________________________________________.92. How many factors influence happiness? What are they?________________________________________________________________________. 93. How do you make yourself happy in your daily life? Give an example.________________________________________________________________________.Keys: 88. Yes, it is.89. Wearing a smile and a good mood.90. No matter how happy you are, it's normal to feel angry, sad or gloomy once in a while./There are happiness and sadness in our life.91. We can do our best to change a bad situation into a good one.92. Three. Social relationships, work or school and your attitude towards life.93. Any reasonable answer is ok.D.

At age 19, she acted as Susan Turner in The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer with her friends Cary Grant and Myrna Loy.

Listening ComprehensionSection ADirections:In Section A, you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers. At the end of each conversation, a question will be asked about what was said. The conversations and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a conversation and the question about it, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.1. W: We don't seem to have a reservation for you, sir. I'm sorry.M: But my secretary said that she had reserved a room for me here. I phoned her from the airport this morning just before boarding:Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?2. M: $15 for the vase is too expensive. I will pay only $ 10 for it.W: Done, sir. It's yours for$10.Q: How much less does the man pay for the vase than the original price？3. W: Mr. Watson, I wonder whether it's possible for me to take a vacation early next month.M: Did you fill out a request form？Q: What is the probable relationship between the two speakers？4. W: Attention please. Flight MU 146 from Hong Kong has arrived.M: It's now 20:25. It's been delayed for two hours！The airlines' flights are now constantly delayed.Q: At what time should the flight have arrived？5. M: Shall I put the equipment away now that you've finished with the lab work？W: Not yet, please.Q: What will the man probably do？6. M: What about going for a coffee？W: That's fine. But do you mind if I call in the library first？I've had this book out for ages. Q: What is the woman going to do first？7. M: Do you think the poster looks good here？W: Well, it's better than a blank wall.Q: What does the woman say about the poster?8. W: These shoes are very cheap. I think I'll buy three pairs.M: Why not just buy one good pair. Cheap shoes wear out very quickly.Q: What does the man suggest that the woman should do？9. M: Please get me a beer, a cold one.

Say, do you know what the assignment is for our term paper in history？M: Sure. Why weren't you in class on Monday? That's when the teacher gave it out.Q: What does the man imply？Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.There are many simple ways to keep our earth healthy. Here are some ways to reduce the amount of garbage your family produces:Firstly, many communities have recycling programs. If yours doesn't, do some research. Y ou can probably find a place to take materials to be recycled.Secondly, instead of throwing away items that you no longer use, give them away or sell them. Think of new ways to reuse items that you normally throw away.What's more, take your own bags to the store instead of getting new ones each time you shop.The fourth way is to use e-mail instead of sending paper letters and cards. Pay your bills and read your newspapers online. Call companies that send you junk mail and get off their mailing lists.Lastly, buy products which are made with recycled contents. A lot of things can now be made from recycled materials.Together we can make a difference.Questions:11. According to the passage, how should you deal with the items you don't use？12. What does the passage suggest people should do?13. What is the passage mainly about?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.Many American schools have a student exchange program with foreign countries. Along with this program, there is usually another one called the“American Host Family”program. As its name indicates, the program gets American families involved in foreign students' lives in America and offers homes for them.Many American families volunteer to host foreign students. However, if there is a shortage of host families, schools also contact local people and recommend foreign students to them.The “American host family” program varies in lengths of time. It can go from a few days to a few years, depending on each individual school. The program in my school in Wisconsin is designed on a one year term. After the first year is over, it is up to foreign students and their “families” to decide if they want to stay together as a “family.” American families can ho st as many foreign students as they like. They can either have several students or just one at a time. Many families start with new students each year while still keeping in touch with the old ones. Schools usually leave it to foreign students and their host families to decide their activities after both sides meet. My school, however, sponsors activities every year: We have an annual picnic when all the host families and foreign students come together. In addition, we have other kinds of gatherings such as pot-luck dinners and tea parties several times a year. Host families and foreign students, of course, get in touch with each other any time they want. On major holidays like Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas, foreign students are usually invited to their homes for dinner. Even schools that do not have host family programs often arrange students to get together with American families on these special holiday occasions.Questions:14. How long does the host family program last?15. Which of the following is NOT included in a school's“American Host Family”program？16. What is the main purpose of the passage？Blanks 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.W: I can't take it any more. This job is killing me！M: Hey, sounds like you could take a break.W: Are you kidding？I can never finish my paperwork.M: When was the last time you took some time off?W: Come to think of it, it's been over a year. Y eah, last February. I was supposed to take off a few weeks in January, but it just got too busy around here.M: Then it sounds like a little relaxation would do you some good.W: Well, maybe you are right. And anyway, I can always bring my computer along and catch up on my work.M: Listen, leave the computer at home. Y ou need to just take it easy for a while.Blanks 21 through 24 are based on the following conversation.W: We had a nice chat to your teachers at the parents' meeting this evening.M: Actually, mum, I've been meaning to talk to you about that.W: Were you worried？Well, you needn't have been. Y our teachers are very happy with your work.In fact, we didn't have to stay at the meeting very long. They all had only one thing to say: you're doing brilliantly.M: Thanks mum. Actually, I was a bit worried but not about my grades. I…W: Y ou'd better start thinking about what university you want to go to.M: Well, that's what I want to talk to you about. I don't want to go to university.W: Y ou what? Oh, of course, it's the money. Y ou're worried about the money.M: Mum! Y ou're not listening to me. I've thought about it very carefully and I've decided to leave school at the end of the year and become a football player.W: A football player!

They are like many American and British parents. They take their children from one activity to another. After school, Mr Smith takes the two boys from football to basketball while Mrs Smith has to take her daughter to piano lessons. The tired children don’t get home until 7pm. They have a quick supper, and it’s time for homework. So life for Mr and Mrs Smith’s children is very busy every day.Nowadays most children take part in after-school clubs. Activities include sports, language learning, music and Maths classes. Now parents seem to push their children a lot more. They see other children doing a lot of things, and they feel their own children should do the same.Linda, a mother of three children in London tells us that in some families, competition starts from a very young age.
