She was on the beach, looking up at the fiery (火红的) ball. She was amazed by its color, deep red in the middle, softly fading into yellow. She could hear nothing but the waves and the seagulls flying up above in the sky.The atmosphere relaxed her. After all she had been through, this was what she needed. "It's getting late," she thought, "I must go home. My parents will be wondering where I am."She wondered how her parents would react, when she got home after the three days she was missing. She kept on walking, directing herself where she spent every summer holiday. The road was deserted. She walked slowly and silently. Just in a few hundred meters she would have been safe in her house.It was really getting dark now. The sun had set a few minutes before and it was getting cold too. She wished she had her favorite sweater on: it kept her really warm. She imagined having it with her. This thought disappeared when she finally saw her front door. It seemed different. Nobodyhad taken care of the outside garden for a few days. She was shocked: her father was usually so strict about keeping everything clean and tidy, and now... It all seemed deserted. She couldn't understand what was going on.She entered the house. First, she went into the kitchen where she saw a note written by her father. It said: "Dear Ellen, there is some coffee ready. I went looking." Ellen was her mother but－where was she? On the right side of the hallway was her parents' room. She went in. Then she saw her. Her mother, lying on the bed, was sleeping. Her face looked so tired, as if she hadn't slept for days. She was really pale. Jennifer would have wanted to wake her up but she looked too tired. So Jennifer just fell asleep beside her. When Jennifer woke up, something was different－she wasn't in her mother's room and she wasn't wearing the old clothes she ran away in. She was in her cozy bed in her pajamas.It felt so good being back home. Suddenly she heard a voice, "Are you feeling better now, dear? You know you got us very, very scared."31.

Having experienced a lot outside, Jennifer felt home was safest for her.BThe World Expo 2010 Shanghai China is to be staged in Shanghai from May 1 to October 31, 2010. If you plan to visit the Shanghai Expo this summer, theChina Pavilion is a must-see area for you.The China Pavilion, which is called Oriental Crown(东方之冠), is located at the center of the Expo site. Standing 63 meters tall, the China Pavilion takes the shape of an emperor’s crown, with the upper layers larger than the lower ones. Covering 160,000 square meters in floor space, the pavilion consists of a national hall and a regional hall. Construction on the China Pavilion began on Dec. 18, 2007. The design of the China Pavilion was picked from a total of 344 designs put forward by Chinese from around the world. The pavilion possesses both traditional and modern features, which helps develop the theme of the 2010 Expo ―Better City, Better Life‖. For example, it is red in appearance, which contains the elements of traditional Chinese culture, and it is green indoors, with the use of energy-saving techniques. The Shanghai World Expo is expected to attract 70 million visitors from across theglobe. It is estimated that 400,000 people will visit the Expo and its 140 pavilions every day during the period, but the China Pavilion is only able to receive about one tenth of the total. How to accommodate so many people in the pavilion remains a tough task. Luckily, the China Pavilion is built as a permanent landmark.During the Expo, the main structure will be used for an exhibition based on the theme of ―Chinese wisdom in urban development" by explaining the values of harmony, nature and spirit. The three-story pavilion has three sections. The top floor’s "Footprint of the East" will show some of the changes in Chinese cities. There, you can see a film which shows how Chinese cities have changed, especially in the past 30 years. According to Lu Chuan, director of the film, the scenery is like something from The Lord of the Rings. On the second floor, "Jou rney of Wisdom‖ will explain China’s four great inventions. And the ground’s ―Blossoming City‖ will display scenes from cities of the future.35. Which of the following words can be used to describe the China Pavilion?A. Tiny.B. Round.C. Foreign.D.

They point to jobs such as secretary or truck driver, which often pay more to start than that of a teacher. In many other fields, such as law, medicine, computer science, a beginning worker may make more than a teacher who has taught for several years.Teaching has never been a profession that attracted people interested in high salaries. It is by history a profession that has provided rewards in addition to money—the satisfaction of sharing knowledge, of influencing others, of guiding young people. But in the past several years, there are more difficulties in teaching, for many, than there are rewards.Unruly students, especially in big cities, large classes and a lack of support from the public in terms of money and understanding have led many public school teachers to leave the profession.As a result, many of the best students, who would have chosen teaching as their life career in the past, are going into other fields.Another reason for this change in teacher candidates is the changing status of women in the United States. Until the late 1960s and 1970s, one of the most popular choices for women was teaching. But as other professions, such as law and medicine opened up to women, women stopped pouring into teacher training programs. Thus, a major pool of excellent candidates for the teaching profession dwindled.Bit by bit government officials and others realized that the status of the teacher had suffered.They talked about change. But the change in a vast society like the United States is not easy. People’s attitudes have formd over many years, and sometimes change takes many years.43. The underlined word ―that‖ in Paragraph 1 refers to ― ‖.A. moneyB. jobC. secretaryD. truck driver44. What is the present situation of the teaching?A. Teachers work harder and get underpaid.B. Teachers have no opportunities to work in other fields.C. Teaching can attract best students to work as a teacher.D. Teaching can provide rewards as well as high salaries.45. Many public school teachers turn to other professions because .A. the unruly students and large classesB. the difficulties of teaching as well as a lack of money, support and understandingC. the attracting power of other jobsD. a lack of satisfaction of sharing knowledge and influencing others46. The author believes that change in teachers’ status in the United States .A. is not greatB. ImpossibleC. influences people’s attitudeD. needs timeEIf you know exactly what you want, the best way to get a job is to get specialized training. A recent report shows that companies like graduates in such fields as business and health care who can go to work immediately with very little on-the-job training.That’s especially true of booming fields that are challenging for workers. At Cornell's School of Hotel Administration, for example, bachelor's degree graduates get an average of four or five job offers with salaries ranging from the high to low and plenty of chances for rapid advancement. Large companies especially like a background of formal education coupled with work experience. But in the long run, too much specialization does not pay off. Business, which has been flooded with MBAs, no longer considers the degree an automatic stamp of approval. The MBA may open doors and command a higher salary initially, but the impact of a degree washes out after five years.As further evidence of the erosion of corporate f aith in specialized degrees, Michigan State’s Scheetz cites a pattern in corporate hiring practices. Although companies tend to take on specialists as new hires, they often seek out generalists for middle and upper-level management. This sounds like a formal statement that you approve of the liberal-arts(文科) graduate. Time and again labor-market analysts mention a need for talents that liberal-arts majors are assumed to have: writing and communication skills, organizational skills, open-mindedness and adaptability, and the ability to analyze and solve problems. David Birch, manager of the Boston Red Sox, says that he does not hire anybody with an MBA or an engineering degree. ―I hire only liberal-arts people because they have a less-than-canned way of doing things,‖ says Birch.For a liberal – arts degree, students focus on some basic courses that include literature history, mathematics, economics, science, human behavior and a computer course or two. With these useful and important courses, you can feel fre e to specialize, ―A liberal-arts degree coupled with an MBA or some other technical training is a very good combination in the marketplace,‖ says Scheetz.47. The job market is in great need of people with .A. special training in special fieldsB. a bachelor’s degree in educationC. formal schooling and work experienceD. an MBA degree from top universities48. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 means .A. an MBA degree does not help in future promotionB. MBA programs will not be as popular as they are nowC. people will not forget the degree the MBA graduates have gotD. most MBA programs fail to provide students with a foundation49. David Birch says that he only hires liberal – arts people because .A. they will fol low others’ ways of solving problemsB. they can do better in bundling changing situationsC. they are well trained in a variety of specialized fieldsD. they have attended special programs in management50. The author supports the idea that .A. on – the – job training is less costly in the long runB. formal schooling is less important than job trainingC. specialists are more expensive to hire than generalistsD. generalists will do better than specialists in management四、书面表达（共两节，满分40分）1) 完成句子（共10小题，每小题1.5分，共15分）51.

This has aroused wide concern.We have all heard the story Here Comes the Wolf. What we learn from the story is that we must be honest. Being dishonest does harm not only to others but also to oneself. Some students don’t work hard to achieve their goals. Instead, they play computer games, chat on lines or play with their friends. When examination days come, to get good results, they choose to chest.Honesty is the most important quality of a person. So measures must be taken to help students get rid of such dishonest behavior, making them really understand the lesson the English proverb, ―No pains, no gains‖, tries telling us.。
