Mom just has to name the chapter and verse and the parrot will recite it.Soon afterwards Mom sent out her letters of thanks.“Milton,” she wrote to one son, “the house you built is so huge. I live in only one room, but I have to clean the whole house.”“Gerald,” she wrote to another, “I am too old to travel. I s tay most of the time at home, so I rarely use the Mercedes.

Shaun can't do this without help because he's only six years old. He's the youngest person ever to study at Rochester University in New York. Shaun began reading at two, by the age of five he was regularly corresponding(通信) with university professors and will shortly complete his first book .…I love learning, ‟says Shaun. …My hero is the scientist Albert Einstein because he never combed his hair or wore socks.‟Psychologists(心理学家) have found it difficult to test Shaun's intelligence(智力) because it goes beyond what they usually measure. Shaun's mother first realized her son was different whenhe kept crying at playschool because he was bored with the children's games. She started teaching him at home after finding that local schools were not prepared for children who learnt at Shaun's speed. Now Shaun is studying geography at Rochester University and using the Internet to complete his high school studies.However, some psychologists warn that too much study can prevent a child from developing normally. …I don't care how brilliant the kid is, six year olds have to play with their friends,‟ says Dr Brian Wood. Mrs. Rogers disagrees that her son's time is completely taken up by school work. …He loves the violin and has many outdoor interests, such as camping, fishing and swimming, just like other boys of his age.‟60.A reader can find out from this text_______________.A. who Shaun's friends areB. when Shaun did an intelligence testC. what Shaun's hobbies areD. how well Shaun plays the violin61.What does Dr Wood think about Shaun?A.

He can help his friends to do better at school.62. Which of these is Mrs. Rogers‟ talking about Shaun?A. “My son gets bored easily if he doesn't have other children to play games or go swimmingwith him.”B. “My son lov es his studies and fortunately there are many children of his own age inhis class who share his interests.”C. “What makes my son different from other children is that he started studying earlier andlearns things much more quickly.”D. “Like most young boys, my son often looks untidy and spends more time usingthe Internet than doing his homework.”CWhen someone says, “Well, I guess I‟ll have to go to face the music,” it does not mean he is planning to go to a concert. It is something far less pleasant, like being called in by your boss to explain why you did this or that, and why you did not do this or that. Sour music, indeed, but it has to be faced.The phrase “to face the music” is familiar to every American, young and old. It is at le ast 100 years old.The first information comes from the American writer James Fennimore Cooper. He said—in 1851—that the expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings to go on stage. After they got their cue to go on, they often said, “It‟s time to go to face the music.” And that is exactly what they did—face the orchestra(乐团) which was just below the stage.An actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of the audience that might be friendly or perhaps unfriendly, especially if he forgot his lines. But he had to go out. So, “to face the music” came to mean having to go through something, no matter how unpleasant the experience might be, because you knew you had no choice.The other explanation comes from the army. Men had to face inspection by their leader. The soldiers worried about how well they looked. Was their equipment clean—shiny enough to pass inspection? Still, the men had to go out, and face the music of the band, as well as the inspection. What else could they do?63. According to the passage, the word “music” means_____ .A. your b oss‟s criticism（批评）B. your leader‟s inspectionC. something unpleasant to be experiencedD. sour pop music64. The phrase “to face the music” was first used by______.A. some American actorsB. the American writer James Fennimore CooperC. all the AmericansD. the American orchestra65. “To face the music” is also used to mean that soldiers were not willing ______.A. to be examined about their equipmentB. to be found weakC. to show themselves up in publicD. to be inspected by their leader66. The passage is mainly about ______.A. the meaning of the phrase “to face the music”B.how to deal with something unpleasantC. the origin (起源)of the phraseD. how to go through difficultyDTrip 1 Black Bear CountThere have been fires in this area in the last few years and the Office of the National Park is not sure how many black bears are still living.

Do we have a right balance of work and leisure(闲散) in our lives? Are our relationships with family, friends or fellow workers all that they should be?All these things can be a cause of stress, and it is best to face them directly, and to bring our frustrations(失意) into the open. People who have a good row and then forget it are doing their health more good than those who bottle up their feelings.If our self-examination has brought any causes of stress to light, let us consider what we can do about them. It is possible to change jobs. We can make more leisure and fill it more happily, if we will accept a different living standard. We can improve our personal relationships by a different attitude. It is we who allow other people to make ourselves unhappy. Often the little things that disturb us are not worth an hour‟s anger. The teaching in the Bible “Let not the sun go down upon your wrath(愤怒)” is good advice from the health point of view as well as religion.71. Which of the following statements is true?A.Freedom from responsibilities helps increase stress.B.Stress is the direct cause （直接原因）of cancer.C.The causes of stress are worth serious studyD.Cancer is the number one killer in our society today.72. According to the passage, which of the following types of people is more likelyto suffer from stress?A.People who have cancer.B.People who like to quarrel with others.C.People whose living standard is low.D.People who have more responsibilities than they can deal with.73. Judging from the context, the underlined word “row” in the third paragraphmost probably means______.A. a noisy quarrelB. a not very loud noiseC. a neat line of things side by sideD. a journey in a boat74. Which of the following is not mentioned as a way to reduce our stress?A.Changing our jobs.B.Changing our attitude about little things that make us unhappy.C.Speaking out about our frustrations.D.Reading the Bible.75. “Let not the sun go down upon your wrath” probably means “______”.A.Don‟t let your anger last long.B.Don‟t get angry while the sun is going down.C.Don‟t get angry easily about little things.D.Don‟t watch t he sun set while you are angry.第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节：任务型读写阅读下列短文，根据所读内容在文章后的表格中填入恰当的单词。
