第二节: 完形填空(共20小题，每一小题1.5分，总分为30 分)

Valentine's Day was the time my father chose to show his love for the special people in his life. Over the years I fondly thou ght 36 him as my “ValentineMan.〞
My first recollection of the magic he could 37 to Valentine's Day came when I was six. That morning at the breakfast table I found a card and a gift-wrapped package at my chair. The card was 38 “Love, Dad〞, and the gift was a ring with a small piece of red glass to 39 my birthstone, a ruby(红宝石). There is 40 difference between red glass and rubies to a child of six, and I remember 41 that ring with a pride that all the cards in the world 42 not
surpass.
As I grew older, the gifts gave 43 to heart-shaped boxes 44 with my favorite chocolates and always included a special card with “Love, Dad〞. In those years my " thank-yous" became more of a perfunctory(敷衍) response. The cards seemed less 45 and I took for granted the valentine that would always be there. I had placed my hopes and dreams in receiving cards and gifts from “significant others〞, and “Love, Dad〞just didn't seem quite 46 .
If my father knew then that he had been 47 , he never let it show. If he sensed any 48 over valentines that didn’t arrive for me, he just tried that much harder to create a 49 atmosphere, giving me an extra hug and doing what he could to make my day a little brighter.
Never in ten years was my father's package late ----- 50 was it on the Valentine's Day eight years ago when I 51 into the mailbox to find a card addressed to me in my 52 handwriting.
The card had a photograph of tulips〔郁金香〕on the outside, and on the inside my mother had printed " Happy Valentine's Day" . Beneath it, scrawled(潦草) in 53 legible(易识别的) handwriting, was " Love, Dad" .
His final card 54 on my bulletin board today. It's a 55 of how special fathers can be and how important it had been to me over the years to know that I had a father who continued a tradition of love with a generosity of spirit, simple acts of understanding and an ability to express happiness over the people in his life.
Those things never die, nor does the memory of a man who never stopped being my valentine.
36. A. of B. about C. up D. over

44. A. wrapped B. filled C. covered D. charged
45. A. beautiful B. beneficial C. important D. vivid
46. A. enough B. suitable C. effective D. sacred
47. A. interrupted B. alarmed C. replaced D. governed
48. A. delight B. peace C. nervousness D. disappointment

第三局部阅读理解(共15小题；每一小题2分,总分为30分)
阅读如下短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最优选项。

A
Jumping on your bike, even in the city, is becoming increasingly popular---- in London, for example, cycle use has more than doubled in the past ten years. So, which is the best bike for you?
If you’re traveling to work, a folding bike such as one of the models here is suitable unless you’re cycling more than a couple of miles, in which case it might be uncomfortable. You can take a fold-up on the train and as it goes indoors with you, it’s safe.
For longer journeys, a road bike with drop handlebars and narrow tyres(轮胎) is a good choice. Try Specialized, from £400. Note that the riding position encourages you to look downwards, which can be dangerous.
Mountain bikes are best suited to off-road travel; their fat and strong tyres are good for climbing steep, muddy slopes(斜坡). Good brands include Trek and Giant, with prices starting at less than
£300.
A hybrid bike(halfway between a mountain bike and a road bike) is a good compromise(折中) with more upright riding position and thin, fast tyres. Ridgeback makes great hybrids, from around £350.
For a classic sit-up-and-beg bike, it’s still hard to beat Pashley, wh ich makes its bikes by hand. Expect to pay around £500.
Once you’ve picked your bike, sizing is crucial or you may suffer back or neck pain. A famous bike shop will help you choose the right size frame. The height of the seat should be adjusted carefully---again, a good shop will advise. If you only plan to cycle once or twice a month, you can choose a lower-priced bike, but for regular use, paying more means better quality: cheaper bikes need more frequent adjustment of brakes and gears (刹车和齿轮) ---and tend to be heavier, too. Finally, items such as mudguards(挡泥板) aren’t always included.
56. The man purpose of this passage is to .
A. encourage people to go to work by bike
B. advertise some famous bike brands
C. give advice on how to choose a bike
D. introduce the advantages of different bikes
57. According to the passage, which kind of bike is least likely to be stolen?
A. A folding bike.
B. A road bike.
C. A mountain bike.
D. A hybrid bike.
58. Which company’s bikes are h andmade?
A. Giant’s.
B. Specialized’s.
C. Ridgeback’s
D. Pashley’s.
59. From the last paragraph, we can know that .
A. a cheap bike is fit for regular use
B. a cheap bike may not have mudguards
C. an expensive bike may be heavier than a cheap one
D. you may suffer back or neck pain riding a cheap bike
B
For many visitors, rides are what theme parks are all about. Much has changed since the early days of roller coasters; today rides are wilder and scarier than ever. The cars run faster, the tracks are higher, and you must be ready to go through twists, loops and drops. Some roller coasters even let
you race against your friends; two tracks are next to each other and you fly through the air just meters away from your friends. Other roller coasters are inside a mountain or a building so that you ride through darkness.
Another attraction found in many theme parks is the thrill ride. Like roller coasters, thrill rides let you enjoy a good scream as you experience something exciting. Instead of rolling, twisting and looping like the roller coasters, thrill rides use technology and special effects to give you a thrill. Some thrill rides will let you feel what it is like to fall through the air: you sit in a car that “falls〞from a tall tower and you scream your way down to a safe landing.
Thrill rides can also send you into space or deep down into the ocean. You sit in a car that rocks and shakes while you watch a large screen in front of you. You can feel what it is like to live in space, walk on the ocean floor or ski with polar bears at the North Pole. The only limit to the fun is the imagination of the designers of the thrill rides and it seems to be endless!
( )60. What does a thrill ride use to give people a thrill ?
A. Speed.
B. Special effects.
C. Motion.
D. All the above
( )61.You can experience the following in the thrill ride EXCEPT .
A. falling through the air
B. racing against your friends
C. living in space
D. walking on the ocean floor
( )62. What does the underlined sentence mean?
A. The imagination of designers is limited.
B. You can never get enough fun.
C. The fun of the thrill rides is endless.
D. You can do what you like.
C

Finns, who introduced a birch-tree sweetener(增甜剂)for gum, have found that the habit of chewing sticky lumps (块)dates back thousands of years. Students in western Finland found a piece of Stone Age birch-bark tar, believed to have been used for chewing and to fix broken arrowheads or clay dishes, archaeologists said.
“Most likely the lump was used as an old kind of chewing gum,〞said Sami Viljamaa, an archaeologist who led the dig near Oulu, some 380 miles north of the capital, Helsinki. “But its main purpose was to fix things.〞
Viljamaa said the piece of Neolithic gum was found among things like dishes and jewelry, in a Stone Age village at the Kierikki Stone Age Center. “It’s somewhere between 5,500 and 6,000 years old,〞he said.
The ancient Finnish habit of chewing gum surged in the 1980s when Finnish scientists discovered that gum containing xylitol(木糖醇)，a natural sweetener found in plant tissue including birch trees, prevents tooth decay. Schools began to give xylitol gum free to children after meals, and sales of chewing gum almost doubled during five years as xylitol’s popularity grew.
The ancient gum was found by British student Sarah Pickin, who was assisted by four other students at the sit, Viljamaa said. “They also found an amber ring and a slate arrowhead, which were great finds.〞He added.
( )67. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. The Finnish people introduced the sweetener for gum.
B. Long time ago, the Finns had the habit of chewing gums.
C. Students in eastern Finland found a piece of Stone Age birch-bark tar.
D. It is believed that the ancient gum was used for chewing and to fix broken dishes.
( )68. According to the text, what made the sales of chewing gum increase rapidly?
A. Because schools began to give xylitol gum free to children.
B. Because xylitol’s popularity grew.
C. Becau se the habit of chewing gum surged in 1980s.
D. Because it was cool to chew the gum.
( )69. What is the advantage of xylitol according to the passage?
A. Fix the furniture.
B. Prevent tooth decay.
C. Loss weight.
D. Gain money.
( )70. What did Sarah Pickin and four other students find?
A. A piece of Neolithic gum.
B. An amber ring.
C. A slate arrowhead.
D. All of the above.

One possible version:
Dear Smith,
How are you? How time flies! Now the winter vacation was over and I have come back to school again.
We had 20 days in all for the holiday, during which we had the most important Chinese Festival—the Spring Festival. It took me nearly a week to visit my relatives and attend family parties, as it is a traditional custom in China. Of course, I spent most of the time doing my lessons. As you know, I will take the National Examinations in June and it’s only a few months away. Every day I did some English reading, practiced writing compositions, worked out a number of science problems and so on. When I got tired, I would do something to relax myself, like playing basketball with my friends, listening to music, surfing the Internet, playing games, and everything that helped to recover my energy.
In a word, I had a full, busy and wonderful holiday. How about you? I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours,
Wang Ping。
