That’s because I have always known about the flaw (缺陷) of my pot. I planted flower seeds on one side of the path. Every day when I walk back from the stream, the broken pot waters them.

By early autumn, the leaves began to fall off the trees, and the spring was covered with leaves. A few days later, the water was much darker. Only a few months after the old man left, all the swans left, as did the tourists. Disease reached deeply into the village.Quickly, the leaders held a special meeting. Realizing their mistake, they rehired the old man. Then within a few weeks, the spring began to clear up. Soon new life returned to the village.So, my friends, do you see?

Do you argue whether it’s cold o utdoors or whether the car in front of you is going faster than the speed limit (限速)?If you get into such arguments, try to think about the story about the six blind men and the elephant. The first blind man who felt the elephant’s trunk (象鼻) said it was like a snake. The second who felt the elephant’s side said it was like a wall, while the third said it was like a spear( 矛) as he touched the animal’s tusk. The fourth, who took hold of the elephant’s tail insisted that it was like a rope. The fifth man s aid it looked liked a tree as he put his arms around one of the elephant’s legs. The last, who was tall and got hold of the elephant’s ears, said it was like a huge fan.Each man’s idea of the animal came from his own experience. So if someone disagrees w ith you about a “simple fact”, it’s often because his experience in the matter is different from yours.To see how hard it is for even one person to make up his mind about a “simple fact”, try this simple experiment. Get three large bowls. Put ice water in one. Put hot water in the second. Put lukewarm water (温水)in the third. Now put your left hand in the hot water. Put your right hand in the lukewarm water. Your right hand will tell you the water is cold. Your left hand will tell you it is hot.36. The man who touched the elephant’s ears must be very_______.A. heavyB. thinC. tallD. strong37. The underlined word “it” in the last line of the paragraph refers to _______.A. your left handB. your right handC. the waterD. the bowl38. What makes people think about simple facts differently?A. People’s wrong ideas.B. People’s different experience.C. Simple facts are different sometimes.D. People often disagree with each other.39. It can be inferred from the passage that we should__________.A. learn from the blind menB. not agree about simple factsC. never think about simple factsD. never decide anything with one sideBEach year the Pritzker Architecture Prize(普立兹克建筑奖) goes to a star designer w ith a long list of attractive buildings around the world. This year’s winner isa little different.Shigeru Ban has designed museums, homes and concert halls. But Ban is best known for a more simple kind of work: the temporary (暂时的) buildings for people who became homeless after disasters.Ban may be the only designer in the world who makes buildings out of paper —cardboard paper tubes (管). Ban actually tested the strength of cardboard tubes, and said he was surprised by what he had discovered. He has used them to build temporary buildings in Japan, Haiti, China and elsewhere.“After a disaster, the building material is going to be more expensive,” Ban explains. “But the paper tube is actually not a building material. It is cheap and plentiful. We can get the material easily anywhere. And unlike costs for traditional building materials, the price of paper tubes doesn’t jump after an earthquake or flood. The tubes are also lightweight, so you don’t need heavy machines to work with them.”Ban started using cardboard paper tubes in the 1980s. At that time he had just graduated from the architecture school, and he was looking for a cheap substitute for wood. So he started reusing the paper cardboard tubes that were left over from rolls of paper in his office.Ban was born in Tokyo and studied architecture in the U.S. before moving back to Japan to start his practice. Some of Ban’s temporary buildings have become permanent (永久的), like the paper church he built after the 1995 earthquake in Kobe, Japan.40. The author uses the first paragraph to .A. raise an argumentB. give an introductionC. give an exampleD. offer a description41. What is special about Shigeru Ban?A. He failed to get this year’s architecture prize.B. He graduated from the best architecture school in the U.S.C. He is good at building houses for homeless people.D. He builds special houses for special groups of people.42. Why did Shigeru Ban choose cardboard paper tubes?A. Because they are cheap and easy to take away.B. Because they are strong and last for a long time.C. Because they are plentiful and look very beautiful.D. Because they are common and hard to break.43. What does the underlined word “substitute” probably refer to?A. A new way of building houses by using wood.B. A new method of producing cardboard paper tubes.C. A new kind of building material to take the place of wood.D. A new machine to produce a new kind of building material.CTwo men were sitting together in a plane. They were on a long journey. One of the men was a businessman. The other was a farmer. They sat without talking for a while, then the farmer said, “Let’s do something to pass the time.”“What do you want to do?” the businessman asked. “We can ask each other riddles.” The farmer said, “You start.” “Let’s make the rules first,” the businessman said. “That’s not fair. You are a businessman with much knowledge. You know more things than I do. I am just a farmer.”“That’s true.” The businessman said. “What do you want we should do?” “If you don’t know the answer to a riddle, you pay me $100. And if I don’t know the answer, I’ll pay you $50.” The farmer said. The businessman thought about this, then he said, “OK. That’s fair. Who will go first?”“I will,” The farmer said. “Here is my riddle. What has three legs when it walks, but only two legs when it flies?” The business man repeated the riddle, “What has three legs when it walks, but only two legs when it flies? Mm, that’s a good one. I’m afraid I don’t know the answer.” He gave the farmer $100, then said, “Tell me the answer. What has three legs when it walks, but only two legs when it flies?” “I don’t know.” The farmer said and gave him $50.44.

Her success opened the way for other women who wanted to do more than nursing. She was born in England in 1821 and her family moved to America when she was eleven years old.The Blackwell girls received the same education as their brothers. This was most unusual in those days. Their father died young and they had very little money to live on. Elizabeth and her sisters taught at school. Then a woman dying of cancer urgedElizabeth to study medicine, saying that a woman doctor would have saved her from her worst sufferings. Nearly everyone said a girl should not go to medical school, but she managed to enter Geneva College in New York State. She graduated in 1849 at the head of her class and received the first medical degree ever given to a woman.Next, Dr. Blackwell went to Paris. Her only chance of training was in a hospital where women came to have their babies. Four months later, while she was working in the French hospital, her left eye became dangerously infected (感染). She lost the eye. She was very disappointed. But she was soon back at work again, this time in London, England. There she met many famous scientists.In 1859, Elizabeth Blackwell was officially recognized as a doctor in Great Britain — the first woman to be honored. She was the inspiration of Elizabeth Garrett, who began the women’s medical movement in England. Florence Nightingale, founder of the practice of nursing by women, was another of her friends.Dr. Blackwell died in 1910 at the age of 89.49. Elizabeth and her sisters taught at school probably to .A. help support the familyB. become women doctorsC. get practical experienceD. earn money for their education50. What made Elizabeth decide to study medicine?A. The education she received.B. The death of her father.C. The sufferings of a cancer patient.D. The encouragement from a patient.51. Which of the following is the correct order of events according to the passage?a. Elizabeth Blackwell lost one eye.b. Elizabeth Blackwell received a doctor’s degree.c. Elizabeth Blackwell entered Geneva College.d. Elizabeth Blackwell was recognized as a doctor.e. Elizabeth Blackwell went to work in London.A. cabedB. cbaedC. acbedD. bcade52. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A. Elizabeth Blackwell was more famous in Britain.B. Elizabeth Blackwell learned from other women.C. Elizabeth Garrett gave Elizabeth Blackwell much help.D. Florence Nightingale was encouraged by Elizabeth Blackwell.EIn Western countries, bread is one of the most important foods. When they get up in the morning many people eat toast (烤面包). They spread butter and jam on their toast. People eat bread at other times of the day too. For example, at main meals, they often eat bread with soup.It's also very common to eat sandwiches. A sandwich is two pieces of bread with a filling inside - salad, cheese or fish. A hamburger is a kind of sandwich.There are many different kinds of bread. Some are special to some countries. For example, the baguette (法国棍子面包) is a long, thin loaf that began in France.There is also white bread and whole-wheat (全麦面) bread. What's the difference? White bread is refined (精制的). It has things taken out of it to make it softer and easier to eat. The trouble is, white bread also has lots of goodness taken out. Although some people dislike the taste of whole-wheat bread, it is much healthier.Some kinds of bread have additives (添加剂). They are put into the bread for many reasons. Some additives are good for you - for example vitamin C. Others are there to make the bread last longer. Still others to make it taste better - but they do not necessarily make the bread healthier to eat!53. People in the west have as their main food.A. butterB. breadC. cheeseD. fish54. The fourth paragraph tells usA. how to make white breadB. how to make whole-wheat breadC. the difference between white bread and whole-wheat breadD. people dislike the taste of whole-wheat bread55. Which of the statements about additives(添加剂) is WRONG?A. Not all the additives are good for our health.B. Vitamin C makes the bread last longer.C. Some additives are put into bread to make bread healthier.D. To make bread taste better, some additives can be put into bread.四．短文改错（共10小题，每小题1.5分，满分15分）假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文，文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处，错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。

marry为及物动词，后可直接接宾语，结合题意可知选D。

例如：John married Mary last week.上星期约翰和玛丽结婚了。
2.sb be/get married to sb表示“与某人结婚”。

But for the childrenat Sudbury Valle School in Massachusetts，school is very different.Firstly，there are no lessons. All the children，aged between 4 and 19，do whatever they want. There are no teachers—only “staff members”．The idea behind this is that you do not need to make children learn，because children want to learn anyway.“You do not need to say to a threeyearold，‘Go explore your environment.’You can’t stop them！” says Daniel Greenberg，a founder of the school.“But if you make children do what you want all day，they will lose all taste for learning.”At Sudbury Valley School，you will permit children to talk，read，paint，cook，work on computers，study French，play the piano，climb trees，or just run around. Two boys spent three years just fishing!The other way that Sudbury Valley School is different is that the children can decide the rules. Every week，there is a school meeting where both children and staff have one vote each—even the fouryearolds. They decide the school rules，how to spend the school budget，and even which staff they want and do not want anymore. When the school first opened in 1968，people said it would never work. But today，the school has 200 students，and 80% of its students go on to college. Even the two boys who went fishing all the time have successful careers today. One of them is a musician and the other is a computer scientist.24. What is the main topic of the article?A. An unusual school.B. Children’s hobbies.C. A school without rules.D.

They are very naughty.C. They want to be outside all the time.D. They are too young tolearn anything.27. What happens to the children after they leave this school?A.

They are not successful.CMy oldest daughter is on vacation this week.She called last night to tell us that she arrived safely in North Carolina.

But now a study has found it really does help people nod off —if it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety. The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night. Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food. Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer. While the effect of cow’s milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium Content（钙含量）, which helps people to relax.Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists(营养学家) recommending(推荐) skimmed milk(脱脂奶) as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.32.
