There was no 20 to ask his parents, for he knew they had no money to 21 .There was only one way to get money, and that was to 22 it. He would have to find a job. 23 who would hire him and what could he do? He decided to ask Mr Clay for advice, who usually had 24 on most things."Well, you can start right here," said Mr Clay. "My windows need cleaning and my car needs washing."That was the 25 of James’s odd-job (零工) business. For three months he worked every day after finishing his homework.

The trees again have leaves and the flowers are blooming. The season represents hope, joy and beauty. At this time, many people think of this classical music piece — Spring, which shows happiness. Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi wrote it in the seventeen hundreds.However, not all songs about spring are happy. This song written and sung by K.D. Lang is about dreaming of spring in cold dark places. She recorded I Dream of Spring in 2008.Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein wrote It Might as Well Be Spring for the movie State Fair in 1945. Frank Sinatra sings it. It is a feeling of restlessness or excitement brought on by the coming of spring. Richard Rodgers also wrote Spring Is Here, this time with Lorenz Hart. Ella Fitzgerald sings this song about feeling lonely during this season.Frank Loesser wrote the sad song, Spring Will be a Little Late This Year. Why has the season been delayed? Because the singer’s lover ha s left her. Sarah V aughn released(发行) her version of the song in 1953.By now you may be thinking, “Enough with the sad songs, already!” Ok, then how about a cowboy song? Gene Autry was one of America’s most famous singing cowboys. He recorded When It’s Sp ring time in the Rockies in 1937.And finally, we’ll leave you with a sunny song called Up Jumped Spring. Freddie Hubbard wrote this jazz song in 1977 and Billy Taylor Trio performs it.36. If you are in a bad mood, you’d better listen to _____.A. Up Jumped SpringB. I Dream of SpringC. Spring Is HereD. Spring Will be a Little Late This Y ear37. It Might as Well Be Spring is a song that ______.A. is also called State FairB. is sung by Ella FitzgeraldC. has a lonely feelingD. was written by two people38.

Introduce some wonderful music.C. Introduce some famous singers.D. Express his/ her love to spring.Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side.Most people know this joke. But recently, some people have been much more worried about how the grizzly bear and mountain lion can cross the road.“Millions of animals die each year on U.S. roads,” the Federal Highway Administr ation reports. In fact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat, exist in the U.S. today. The main reason? Roadkill.“Eco-passages” may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars. They are paths both over and under roads. “These eco-passag es can be extremely useful, so that wildlife can avoid road accidents,” said Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Protection Society.But do animals actually use the eco-passages? The answer is yes. Paul Beier of Northern Arizona University found foot marks left by mountain lions on an eco-passage that went under a highway. This showed that the lions used the passage.Builders of eco-passages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around them. Animals seem to be catching on. Animals as different as salamanders（火蜥蜴）and grizzly bears are using the bridges and underpasses.The next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife, look around. You might see an animal overpass!41. The writer uses the example o f “ocelots” to show that __________.A. wild animals have become more dangerousB. the driving condition has improved greatlyC. an increasing number of animals are killed in road accidentsD. the measure for protecting wildlife fails to work42. From the story, we know an eco-passage is __________.A. an underground path for carsB. a fence built for the safety of the areaC. a bridge for animals to get over a riverD. a path for animals to cross the road43. When the writer says that “animals seem to be catching on” (Para. 6), he means __________.A. animals begin to realize the dangers on the roadB. animals are crossing the road in groupsC. animals are increasing in numberD. animals begin to learn to use eco-passages44. The writer asks visitors and drivers to look around when traveling because __________.A. wild animals may attack carsB. they may see wild animals on eco-passagesC. they may see wild animals in the parkD. wild animals may jam the road45. The best title for the passage is __________.A. Special bridges help animals cross the roadB. Endangered animals increase because of roadkillC. Animals fail to cross the roadD. Take steps to protect animals in dangerI began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returni ng from my aunt’s house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving and never to come back was hardly in my head then.The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism（乐观）, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times.”My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home.I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers（移民局官员）, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.From my experiences I have learned one important rule: Almost all common troubles go away at last! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.46.

On a trip to a zoo, perhaps? If you had attended a winter activity in New York a few years ago, you would have seen a whole polar bear club. These "Polar Bears" are people who meet frequently in the winter to swim in freezing cold water. That day, the air temperature was 3℃, andthe water temperature was a bit higher. The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island, New York are usually about the age of 60. Members must satisfy two requirements. First, they must get along well with everyone else in the group. This is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club. Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February.Doctors do not agree about the medical effects of cold-water swimming. Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the body's temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops. Other doctors, however, point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter.The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits (or advantages) of cold-water swimming. They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system（循环系统）because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm. Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water. A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and should not try cold-water swimming.The main benefits (or advantages) of cold-water swimming are probably mental. The Polar Bears love to swim year-round, they find it fun and relaxing. As one 70-year-old woman says. "When I go into the water,I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away."51. The members of the Polar Bear Club must meet the following requirements except that __________.A. they must reach the age of 60B. they should be easy to make friends withC. they must swim outdoors at least 8 times in the four cold monthsD. they must agree to swim outdoors from November through February52.

All good lessons and habits begin early, and saving is a skill that everyone needs. Many people—adults included—do not have a good sense of saving for the long run.I have been lucky to learn this lesson early because I have had a grass-cutting business since I was 10 years old. Of the money I make I spend about 10 percent and save the other 90.Making sure you save and don't spend too much is a good way to build up wealth. I have put my earnings in a bank. Many teens I know spend all the money they earn so it never has a chance to grow. Young people should realize that their teenage years are a great time to begin saving.At high school many parents pay for almost everything, so your expenses can be small. If you have a job, you should have fun with some of the money. But you should also save some so that it will grow. Then you can begin planning for your future. When you spend money, you not only lose that money, but also lose the interest you could have earned by saving it.After high school, college is expensive and then "real" life begins, with expenses such as food and rent. If you can hold onto a good percentage of the money you earn as a teen, going to college and buying a house will be much easier. ________________, the more time the money has to grow. If you are in your thirties without any savings, you will always have to struggle.Later in life it can be hard to start saving because general costs of living are more expensive and you may only have enough to pay your bills. If you want to buy a house and have a family, you need money to start with, which comes from saving.Many say money cannot make you happy, and this is true. But money can help you to lead a secure life.Saving early will mean you will have to work for fewer years when you are older. It will also allow you to spend time doing the things that you want to do.In addition to this, it will mean you can live the way you want to without worrying.61.What’s the best title of the passage?________________________________________________________________________________62. Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?As long as you save early, you’ll do less work to live well at your old age.____________________________________________________________________________________ 63.Please fill in the blank with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence.(within 10 words）____________________________________________________________________________________ 64.According to the passage, what do you think of saving? （within 30 words）____________________________________________________________________________________ 65.Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.____________________________________________________________________________________第三节书面表达（25分）假定你是李华, 你的英国朋友Peter来信向你咨询如何才能学好中文. 请你根据下列要点给他写一封回信.要点: 1. 参加中文学习班;2. 看中文书刊、电视；3. 学唱中文歌曲；4. 交中国朋友。
