第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A
There is a song that tells people they can’t always get what they want but if we try sometimes we can get what we need. The past years in my life my parents have told me this saying many times. I’ve always complained about the quote(引语). Although over time I have told myself to learn from it.
This year my girlfriend flew off to college in West Palm, Florida. This has been a killer for me because I haven’t been able to see her and she is having a rough time in school. The last two months have been hard but we are working through it. I have been trying to get my dad to buy me a plane ticket to go down there. My dad told me if I brought him some money he would help me pay for the ticket. I started to complain to him because I had no way of getting any money to give him. I spent several days and nights thinking of ways to earn money to go see my girlfriend. I finally came to the conclusion that I would get a job and work hard to earn some money to give to my dad. I applied to Safeway and I ended up getting the job.
I have been working at Safeway for about a month now and work hard to earn money to go see my girlfriend. The other day my mom had surprised me and told me that she asked her boss if she could use their business miles(旅费) to buy me a ticket down to Florida for two weeks. I was very thankful and told her I would help pay for anything that I have to. The thought of me working hard and getting a job showed my mom that I really cared and was trying my best to be a successful person. I believe that you can’t always g et what you want but if you try sometimes, you get what you need.

With the start of the new term students around the country exchange their fun and fashionable clothes for boring school uniforms.
“The uniform makes us look like a bunch of clones, especially when we are doing morning exercises in the playground,” said Qing, a Senior 2 from a high school in Shanghai. “But we are not exactly the same from the top to the bottom. The boys wear different sport shoes and girls have different decorations in their hair. These are the areas where you can express yourself,” said Qing.
Although it might be strange for boys to talk about fashion, they do care about what they wear in school, especially shoes, according to Qing.
“Nike and Adidas basketball shoes, although they are still the must for many of my friends, are becoming out-of-date.” Qing added. He explained, “ Since Liu Xiang ran so fast in Athens, running shoes are becoming popular.”
“Still in fashion are the vari ous baseball caps and American-style T-shirts with random English words printed on them,” said Qing. “The accuracy of the written message isn’t important. Often, the words are misspelt. Sometimes they do not even make sense,” Qing said with a smile.
Besides sports shoes and T-shirts, styles and colors of school bags are another opportunity for students to express their taste in fashion. Some bags are made more eye-catching by decorating them with small hanging dolls. Other fashionable items are the colorful drink containers which are now popular among girls this term.
As in China, the new term in the US also brings new fashion trends: shirts printed with Chinese words, necklaces with Hebrew or Hindi characters, and Brazilian jewelry, are all common in schools in Florida, according to Carmen Domingues, a high school student.
60．What does “a bunch of clones”(Paragraph 2) mean?
A．All of the clothes are the same B．All of the exercises are the same
C．All of the clothes are different D．All of the exercises are different 61．Why are Nike and Adidas basketball shoes becoming out-of-date?
A．Because the shoes are not eye-catching.
B．Because running shoes become more popular.
C．Because the shoes have been popular for a long time.
D．Because students have changed their opinions about Liu Xiang. 62．Which of the following is NOT the new fashion trends in the US?
A．Necklaces with Hebrew or Hindi characters.
B．Baseball caps and American-style T-shirts.
C．Shirts printed with Chinese words.
D．Brazilian jewelry.

Once upon a time there was a wise man that used to go to the sea to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down at the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought that someone would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn’t dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean. As he got closer he called out, “Good morning! What are you doing?’’The young man paused, looked up and replied, “Throwing starfishes(海星)in the ocean.”
“I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfishes in the ocean?”“The sun is up and the tide is going out. And if I don’t throw them in they’ll die.”“But, young man, don’t you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfishes all along it. You can’t possibly make a difference!”
The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked another starfish and threw it into the sea, and said, “ It made a difference for that one.” There is something very special in each and every one of us. We have all been gifted with the ability to make a difference. And if we can know that gift, we will gain through the strength of our vision the power to shape the future.
We must each find our starfish. And if we throw our starfish wisely and well, the world will be better.
63.One day, the wise man saw a young man _______.
A. dancing along the beach
B. walking with a dancer
C. picking up starfish for sale
D. trying to save as many starfishes as possible
64. The underlined words “ something very special” refers to ________.
A. the gifts from friends
B. the strength of making a decision
C. our own starfish
D. the ability to make a difference
65. From the last two paragraphs, we can learn that ________.
A. the wise man realized something new and important
B. the wise man thought it was foolish of the young man to throw starfishes
in the ocean.
C. the young man had the ability to make a difference
D. it is necessary for us to save starfish on the beach
66. The writer told this story to show us ________.
A. how and where we can write a good article
B. everyone can do something for the future
C. wise man is sometimes stupid
D. young man is in fact wiser than old people
D
It took me eighteen years to realize what an extraordinary influence my mother has been on my life. She’s the kind of person who has thoughtful discussions about which artist she would most want to have her portrait（肖像）painted by , the kind
of mother who always has time for her four children, and the kind of community leader who has a seat on the board of every major project to assist Washington’s poor citizens. Growing up with such a strong role model, I developed many of her enthusiasms. I not only came to love the excitement of learning simply for the sake(缘故）of knowing something new, but I also came to understand the idea of giving back to the community in exchange（交换）for a new sense of life, love,and spirit.
My mother’s enthusiasm for learning is most apparent in travel. I was nine years old when my family visited Greece. Every night for three weeks before the trip, my older brother Peter and I sat with my mother on her bed reading Greek myths（神话）and taking notes on the Greek Gods. Despite（尽管）the fact that we were traveling with fourteen-month-old twins, we managed to be at each ruin（遗迹）when the site opened at sunrise. Eight years and half a dozen passport stamps later I have come to value what I have learned on these journeys about global history, politics and culture, as well as my family and myself.
While the raw experiences I have had at home and abroad have been spectacular （壮观的）, I have learned to truly value them by watching my mother. She has enriched my life with her passion（热爱）for learning, and changed it with her devotion（奉献）to humanity（人类）. In her endless love of everything and everyone she is touched by, I have seen a hope and life that is truly exceptional（专门的）. Next year, I will find a new home miles away. However, my mother will always be by my side
67．The mother's influence on the writer's life includes the following except ___________ .
A．being crazy about policies B．assistance of others
C．love of life D．enthusiasm of knowledge 68．The underlined word " apparent " in Paragraph 2 is the nearest in meaning to ________ .
A．pleased B．obvious C．crazy D．exciting 69．We can learn from the passage that the writer __________ .
A．has two brothers
B．will leave his mother next year
C．didn't understand his mother
D．is sure to become a devotional person to society
70．Which is the most proper word to describe the writer's emotion towards his Mother ?
A．Grateful. B．Regretful . C．Proud . D．Pitiful .
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
依照短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为余外选项。

Everyone feels left out by friends once in a while, and sometimes friends fight and make up again. But sometimes kids form groups that they won’t let other kids belong to. 71 .
Not all groups of friends are cliques. The thing that makes a group a clique is that they leave some kids out on purpose. Usually one or two popular kids control who gets to be in the group and who gets left out . 72 . For instance, Zack, Trevor and Steve always played basketball after school, but Zack started pushing Trevor out of the group, and Steve admitted that.
Kids might form cliques late in elementary school or in middle school. Sometimes cliques are made up of kids who share an interest in something, like sports or music. 73 . Both boys and girls have cliques, though people who study these groups say girl cliques are often meaner and more hurtful in the way they treat girls who aren’t in the group.74 . Emotional hurt is different to the kind of hurt you feel when you skin your knee, but it’s also a kind of pain and you ca n feel terrible. You might feel lonely if you’re alone at lunch or after school.
75 . They might help by letting kids know that it isn’t OK to treat others in this way, or by putting an end to the mean treatment.
A．A clique is a group of kids who hang o ut together and won’t let others join in.
B．If you are on the outside of a clique, it really hurts.
C．Members of a clique are often unfriendly to people who aren’t in the group.
D．Kids may act much differently than they did before they were part of the clique.
E．Parents and teachers can help when someone is being left out.
F．Sometimes the kids in them just want to be popular or want to belong.
G．kids in a clique may feel lots of anger towards their parents
