阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

A
Early in the 18th century, Captain Cook, a famous explorer of Australia, unexpectedly caught sight of an unusual animal during his first visit to Australia. The animal had a large mouse like head and jumped along on its large legs. To his great surprise, the unusual animal carried its young in a special pocket of flesh. Captain Cook pointed to the animal which was eating grass in the distance and asked his native guide what the animal was referred to. The guide seemed not to know that he was pointing at and finally said “Kang-a-roo”, but their requests were met with puzzled looks of the native people. Before long they got to discover that the native guide who made the answer to Cook’s question really meant, “I don’t know what you pointing at. “ Funny enough, the name “ Kang-a-roo”, stuck and it is still in use to day. 46．Which of the following sentences best expresses the main idea?
A．captain Cook’s guide made a joke.
B．Native Australians could not speak English in Cook’s time.
C．Some words have rather funny origins (起源).
D．Captain Cook was a lover of wild animals.

A．Ah, it is a special kind of animal
B．I wonder what you have said
C．What do you mean by pointing at that animal?
D．I have no idea of what you are referring to.
48．We can infer from this passage ______.
A．we should learn many different languages
B．Captain Cook made a mistake in understanding
C．Captain Cook was a foolish explorer
D．the importance of a language in common
B
There are two types of twins; identical and non-identical twins. Identical twins are formed from a single egg in mother’s body which divides to from two separate babies. Identical twins look the same, and are often dressed by their parents in clothes of the same colors. It is often difficult to tell identical twins from each other, even when they are standing side by side. Non-identical twins come into being when the mother produces two separated eggs a the same time, both of which grow to form babies. In this case the twins look like normal brothers and sisters and are easy to tell one from the other.
In the 1970s and 1980s a scientist did some research into twins. He invited many pairs of identical twins to university and asked them to take part in a week of tests. He was particularly interested in adopted (收养) twins who had been separated at birth. He would give the twins different kinds of tests to study their speed of thinking, their speech, their memory, the ways they saw and heard different things, and so on. Time and time again he found separated twins who preferred clothes of the same color, used the same kind of shaving soap, wore the same shaped square glasses and the same colored socks.
There is a third type of twins, but it is a very unusual one. Twins which are joined together at birth are known in western countries as Siamese twins.
49．It is difficult to tell identical twins apart because _______.
A．they are dressed in the same clothes B．they are dressed in the same color
C．they are very alike D．they are standing side by side
50．If the twins are easy to tell from each other, they are ______.
A．very probably non-identical twins B．surely identical twins
C．surely identical twins D．always a brother and a sister
51．Which of the following is NOT true according to this passage?
A．In the 1970s and 1980s a scientist did some research into the two main types of twins.
B．In the week of tests, he tested their speed of thinking, their speech, their memory and some other things.
C．There were twins who had been separated from each other as soon as they were born.
D．Very often, separated twins were found to choose things of the same kind, the same shape and the same color.
52．This passage mainly tells us _______.
A．the main types of twins B．what has been found out about twins
C．how twins are formed D．how a scientist studied twins
C
There were two interesting pieces of news items in the paper a few years ago. One was about a man who received a bill from the telephone company for $ 2,000 a month for doing nothing.
The connection between the two news items is simple; computers-the best invention of the 20th century. The telephone bill came from a computer which made a terrifying mistake; that man’s bill was only $ 23.26. The other item was not as amusing. A man walked into the unguarded computer room of a large packaged food company and expertly programmed the computer to pay him $ 2,000 a month for raw meat which he “supplied ” to the company. Of course he never sent the meat, but he certainly received the money . The computer wrote out a bill, and even “signed ” it. It was only a random (随便) check that uncovered the trick. It could be happening in thousands of other companies all over the world.
Computers are not the magical workers that some people say they are. They make mistakes, they’re sometimes slower than human beings and they’re easily fooled.
The US used to conscript (征兵) people with the help of a computer. The army sent out a card, which had to be filled in and sent back. It was easy to avoid being called up simply by spreading candle-wax(腊) on the card. The computer couldn’t read the card, and did nothing with it.
It’s in our everyday life that computers cause many problems. Let’s get back to using people instead of com puters, before a mistake that we can’t put right.
53．In the first paragraph we can conclude ______.
A．the paper is telling a lie B．the first sentence is the topic sentence
C．the two news items made people surprised
D．if a man did nothing at all for the telephone company, he would still get $2,000 a month 54．The main idea of the second paragraph is _______.
A．the computers are magical workers
B．the computers can do anything as well as man
C．the computers can write out the bill and even sign it
D．the computers sometimes also make mistakes
55．Computers ______.
A．were used to conscript people B．are usually faster than human beings
C．are not so magical as people expect
D．were not easily controlled and always fooled human beings
56．The writer thinks _______.
A．we’d better use people instead of computers in our everyday life
B．we should not use computers because they always make mistakes
C．computers are widely used in our everyday life
D．if we want to work well, don’t use the comput ers
D
When several different people look at the same person, it is not unusual for each of them to see different things; when you alone observe one behavior or one person at two different times, you may see different things. The following are but some of the factors that lead to these varying perceptions (感知，认知)：
(1)Each person’s perceptions of others are formed by his or her own cultural conditioning education, and personal experiences.
(2) Sometimes perceptions differ because of what we choose to observe and how we deal with what we’ve observed. It is not necessarily true that person perception is based on observations of a particular person. Your observations may be totally controlled by what others have told you about this person; or you may focus (聚焦) primarily on the situation or role relationship. Most people do not use the same yardstick (标准) to measure their parents, their friends, and strangers.
(3) Sometimes we see only what we want to see or don’t see what may be obvious to others because of out own needs, desires, or temporary emotional states. This is a process known as selective perception. Selective perception is obviously more difficult when contradictory (矛盾的) information is particularly
obvious, but it can be done. We can ignore (忽视) the stimulus- “He’s basically a good boy so what I saw was not shoplifting. ”
We can reduce the importance of the contradictory information- “All kids (孩子) get into mischief (顽皮) . Taking a book from the bookstore isn’t such a big deal. ”We can change the meaning of the contradictory information-”It wasn’t shoplifting because he was going to pay for it later.”…
57．The first factor given by the author that affects our perception is _____.
A．the abilities of one’s auditory (听) and visual (视) sensors
B．cultural background and personal experiences
C．experiences one learns from others
D．critical measures taken by other people
58．While observing a particular person, ______.
A．one is likely to take all aspects (方面) into consideration
B．one pays more attention to his/her advantages
C．children often differ from grown-ups in perception
D．one tends to choose certain cues (提示) to look for
59．Observation of the same person by two people at the same time may differ because ______.
A．their measuring yardsticks are not the same
B．either of them may be slow to catch information
C．the time for observation is not long enough
D．each of them uses different language to express his/her impressions
60．The word “stimulus ” in paragraph 4 refe rs to ______.
A．something attractive B．selective perception
C．contradictory information D．shoplifting

Five Happiness Secrets For Tough Times
Sonja Lyubomirsky, an author, has researched the science of happiness for years．
Here are her tips to help you cope with a bad economy, and increase your bursts of happiness throughout the day．
61．________
“You could spend a lot of time thinking deeply,” says Lyubomirsky．“But that just makes you feel even more pessimistic, more out of control, and affects your self esteem．Your relationships will suffer and your job performance will suffer．”
Get rid of pessimism．One of the most effective ways to cope when things are difficult is to adopt a positive thinking strategy．“What can I learn from this? Times are tough, I’ve been furloughed at work, but I can spend more time with the kids, adopt a new hobby, or learn a new set of skills．”
62．________
Now more than ever we need each other to survive．Lyubomirsky found that doing good things for friends, family, or strangers can make you happier．Think of practical, everyday gestures that can make someone’s life a little bit easier．For example, Lyubomirsky says, “Maybe now many of us can’t afford to take a cab to the airport, so offer to give a friend a ride．”
63．________
You don’t need an expert to tell you that relationships are critical to happiness．
Not being the bread-winner anymore or not being able to fulfill your kid’s needs can weigh down hard on your family life．But the trick is to stop feeling guilty and focus on caring for your loved ones．“I was at a psychology conference where an expert was talking about the effects of this economy on families and how parents can’t afford to buy their kids luxuries like toys anymore,” says Lyubomirsky．“B ut what they don’t realize is that kids don’t care about toys — what they care about is parents being grumpy and taking it out on them．”
64．________
“If you find a happy person you will find a project,” says Lyubomirsky．“Happy people all have goals they care about．”
Commit yourself to a project –whether it is a business you want to start or a dance you want to learn．But it’s also important to remember to be flexible in these times．
Don’t get frustrated if circumstances are stopping you from meeting you r goals．Adopt and change!
“If your spouse has lost their job you might have to change your goal,” says Lyubomirsky．“Or you might have to learn a whole new skill for a new job．”
65．________
When times are tough, it’s easy to get skip your regular workout s in favor of moping in front of the TV and eating a bag of chips．Your thinking is “I have more important things to worry about right now than looking good．”
But carve out a small part of your day to give your body some TLC．It will go a long way in boosting your happiness．“Even if you can’t afford to go to the gym,”
Lyubomirsky says, “take time out to exercise at home．”

第三节书面表达（满分30分）
[A possible vision]
Nowadays, it is a common phenomenon that more and more high school students open their own blogs on the Internet. There are advantages and disadvantages about this matter.
For one thing, here provides them a colorful window to show their talents and a way for them to relax, which makes it more and more popular among high school students.
But many parents and teachers are worried about it. They fear that managing a blog will take a lot of time and energy, which will have a side effect on their lessons.
In my opinion, I do approve of this activity because the Internet is playing a more important and essential part in our daily life. In an age of information, we high school students have to learn and make the most of this useful tool to communicate and display ourselves.
More importantly, opening and organizing an eye-catching blog needs various abilities such as writing, designing, being skillful at computer and so on. Only if we master those abilities can we make a successful blog, thus we improve ourselves during the course of maintaining our blogs.。
