Night after night, my mother came to my bed, even long after my childhood years. She would 36 down and push my long hair out of the way, and then kiss my forehead.
I don’t remember when it first started 37 me-her hands pushing my hair that way, for they felt very rough（粗糙的）38 my young skin. Finally, one night, I shouted out at her, “Don’t do that any more-your hands are too rough!” she made no 39 and left quietly. But never again did my mother do it with that familiar expression of her 40 .
With the passing years, my 41 returned to that night time after time. By then I 42 my mother’s hands and her goodnight kiss. Sometimes the incident seemed very 43 , sometimes far away, but always it was 44 in the back of my mind.
The years have passed, and I’m not a little girl any more. Mom is in her seventies, and those hands I once 45 to be so rough are still doing things for me and my family.
Now, Mom no longer has Dad and lives 46 . One night on Thanksgiving Eve, I found myself 47 to her house to spend the night with her. As I slept in the bedroom of my youth, a familiar hand hesitantly ran across my face to 48 the hair from my forehead. Then a 49 , ever so gently , touched my forehead. I burst into tears.
In my memory, thousands of times, I 50 the night my young voice complained. Catching Mom’s hand in hand, I told her how 51 I was for that night. I thought she’d remember 52 I did. But Mom didn’t know what I was talking about. She had already forgotten and 53 long ago.
That night, I fell asleep with a new 54 for my gentle mother and her caring hands. And the guilt（罪恶感）that I had carried around for so long was 55 to be found.

第三部份：阅读明白得（共20小题；每题2分，总分值40分）
A
Planning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.
AVOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost £169.15 at Booking. A week later, the same room cost £118.15.
If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or you’re looking for a big event to pass your time—check out sites such as Whatsonwhen, which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.
STAY AWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.
Don’t be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge’s Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was £95.95.
A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was £75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just £62.95.
LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic O’Neill Flat on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, available for £420 for five days in late September, with room for four adults.
GET ON A BIKE London’s ‘Boris bikes’ have attracted the most attentio n, but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs.
Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle (casual members pay around £1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or £5 per day). (358 words)
56. The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may __________.
A. help travelers pass time
B. attract lots of travelers to the UK
C. allow travelers to make flexible plans
D. cause travelers to pay more for hotel rooms
57. “Farringdon” in Paragraph 5 is most probably __________.
A. an ideal holiday destination
B. the tube line to Covent Garden
C. a hotel away from the train station
D. the name of a travel agency
58. Cardiff’s program allows a free bike for a maximum(最大值) period of __________.
A. one hour
B. half an hour
C. one hour and a half
D. two hours
59. The main purpose of the passage is __________.
A. to tell visitors how to book in advance
B. to supply visitors with hotel information
C. to show visitors the importance of self-help
D. to offer visitors some money-saving tips
B
They are the sort of friends who are so close that they trust each other with their lives. If one falls, the other is there to catch him. They are Wellman, whose legs were permanently injured nine years ago in a rock-climbing accident, and Corbett, an experienced rock climber. Together, they climbed up Half Dome, the famous 2,000-foot rock in the Yosemite National Park, through one of the most difficult routes(线路). During the climb, Corbett took the lead, hit in the metal spikes（尖状物）that guided the ropes and climbed up. Then, after Wellman pulled himself up the rope, Corbett went down to remove the spikes and climbed up again. This process was repeated time and again, inch by inch, for 13 days.
Wellman’s job was not easy either. He got himself up the rope through upper body strength alone. In all, Wellman figured that he had done 5,000 pull-ups up the rope on the climb.
However, when the two men first met, they never talked about climbing. “He knew that was how I got injured.” Wellman said. Until one day Wellman decided that he wanted to climb ag ain and they started training.
Their climb of Half Dome was not all smooth. At one point, pieces of rock gave way, and Corbett dropped down quickly. Wellman locked their rope in place, stopping the fall at 20 feet. His quick action probably saved his f riend’s life.
“Your partner can save your life —you can save your partner’s life,” Wellman said as the pair
received congratulations from friends. “There are real close ties.”
60. Which of the following was a challenge for Corbett in climbing Half Dome?
A. T o climb up to remove the spikes.
B. To climb it twice
C. T o do 5,000 pull-ups up the rope.
D. T o lock the rope in place.
61. Why did the two men never talk about climbing when they first met?
A. Corbett was poorly trained.
B. Wellman had lost interest in climbing.
C. Corbett didn’t want to hurt Wellman’s feelings.
D. Wellman hadn’t decided whether to climb again.
62. What do we know about Wellman?
A. He stopped rock-climbing for some time.
B. He climbed Half Dome by himself.
C. He was disabled in a traffic accident.
D. He was saved by Corbett during the climb.
63. The main idea of the text is that .
A. two heads are better than one
B. friendship is precious in life
C. the disabled should never give up
D. a man can be destroyed but cannot be defeated
C
I love my blackberry—it’s my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me .
I also love my laptop computer ，as it holds all of my writing and thought .Despite this love of technology ,I know that there are times when I need to move away from these device and truly communication with others.
On occasion ,I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas .Because I want students to thoroughly(完全透彻地) study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom ,I have a rule —no laptop ,ipads ,phones ,etc .When students were told my rule in advance of the class,
some of them were not happy .
Most students assume that year reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology . There’s a bit of truth to that. Some students assume that I am anti-technology . There’s no truth in that at all . I love technology and try to keep up with it so I relate to my students.
The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas . I want students to think differently and make connections between the course the material and the class discussion .
I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the educations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create .Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge , they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom .
I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change ,I’m sticking to my plan. a few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too give up.
64. Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with____
A. the course material
B. others’ misuse of technology
C. discussion topics
D. the author’s class regulations
65. The underlined word “engage ”in para.4 pr obably means ____
A. accept
B. explore
C. change
D. reject
66. According to the author ,the use of technology in the classroom may ____
A. keep students from doing independent thinking
B. encourage students to have in-depth conversations
C. help students to better understand complex themes
D. affect students’ concentration on course evaluation.
67. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author ____
A. is quite stubborn
B. will give up teaching history
C. will change his teaching plan soon
D. values technology-free dialogues in his class
D
Almost every machine with moving parts has wheels, yet no one knows exactly when the first wheel was invented or what it was used for. We do know, however, that they existed over 5,500 years ago in ancient Asia.
The oldest known transport wheel was discovered in 2002 in Slovenia. It is over 5,100 years old. Evidence suggests that wheels for transport didn't become popular for a while, though. This could be because animals did a perfectly good job of carrying farming tools and humans around.
But it could also be because of a difficult situation. While wheels need to roll on smooth surfaces, roads with smooth surfaces weren't going to be constructed until there was plenty of demand for them. Eventually, road surfaces did become smoother, but this difficult situation appeared again a few centuries later. There had been no important changes in wheel and vehicle design before the arrival of modem road design.
In the mid-1700s, a Frenchman came up with a new design of road—a base layer (层) of large stones covered with a thin layer of smaller stones. A Scotsman improved on this design in the 1820s and a strong, lasting road surface became a reality. At around the same lime, metal hubs (the central part of a wheel) came into being, followed by the pneumatic tyre(充气轮胎) in 1846. Alloy wheels were invented in 1967, sixty years after the appearance of tarmacked roads (柏油路). As wheel design took off, vehicles got faster and faster.
68. What might explain why transport wheels didn't become popular for some time?
A. Few knew how to use transport wheels.
B. Humans carried farming tools just as well.
C. Animals were a good means of transport.
D. The existence of transport wheels was not known.
69. What do we know about road design from the passage?
A. It was easier than wheel design.
B. It improved after big changes in vehicle design.
C. It was promoted by fast-moving vehicles.
D. It provided conditions for wheel design to develop.
70. How is the last paragraph mainly developed?
A. By giving examples...
B. By making comparisons.
C. By following time order
D. By making classifications.
71. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The beginning of road design.
B. The development of transport wheels.
C. The history of public transport.
D. His invention of fast-moving vehicles.

Good afternoon, my dear friends.
My name is Li Ming. I’m outgoing and get on well with my classmates and teachers. I am skilled in organizing all kinds of activities. I’d like to run for the vice president of the English club in our school.
I know as the vice president, I must do the following things for the club: I will try to make it known to every student and more students involved in the activities organized by the club. Also, to improve our English and get more students interested in English, I intend to organize some activities at school like lectures and English parties and inter-school ones such as English debate competitions and speech contests. I hope all of you will vote for me.
Thank you.。
