Made from the hide (兽皮) of bushy-haired animals, fur is known as the first
material used for clothing．It was used by early humans like the hominoids (类人猿) to keep warm during the winter season or when they traveled to cooler regions．Traditionally, animals were hunted down to produce fur coats．At present though, some animals like the mink (水貂) and the fox are bred and farmed for their fur．Now, wearing fur is considered a luxury because of its price and availability. Fur coats are produced and used all over the world especially in cooler countries like Russia and Northern Europe．These are usually made from the fur of bigger animals like bears, wolves and foxes which are hunted down for their meat and hide．Because of this, several of their species have become endangereD．Yet, until now, there has been no law passed to regulate the fur industry．That’s why Animal rights groups, including stars, continue to campaign against fur clothing including fur coat manufacturing.
Dennis Rodman is the first man, and the first sports star, to do a photo shoot for PETA’s “Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” series.
During the Fashion Week of NYC in 2005, Rodman came not to sit in the front row at a show, but to unveil his provocative (挑衅的, 震动的) new PETA advertisement．In the very tents where designers were pushing fur．In PETA’s advertisement, Rodman appears nude (赤裸的) --- except for his tattoos --- alongside the caption ( 插图说明), ” Think Ink, Not Mink,” and urges :” Be comfortable in your own skin and let animals keep theirs.”
Rodman watched Pamela Anderson’s three-minute video showing how animals live and die before being made into fur coats．“If you actually look at the video firsthand, it gives you a different perspective on animals and how t hey’re treateD．It’s heart-wrenching to see what they go through,” he saiD．
56．According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true ?
A．People raise minks and foxes to get their fur.
B．Early humans used fur to keep warm.
C．There are blanks in legal system to regulate the fur industry.
D．Many species have been extinct because of the need for fur.

B．Stars are less likely to wear fur.
C．More and more stars have taken part in the campaign against fur clothing.
D．Stars belong to Animal rights groups.
58．The underlined word “heart-wrenching” in the last paragraph most probably means
__________ .
A．upset and painful B．surprising
C．interesting D．encouraging.
59．What is the best title for this passage ?
A．Fur Industry B．Campaign Against Fur Clothing
C．Animals Are Endangered D．An Animal Rights Activist
B
When it comes to friends，I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me. I seek mends whose qualities illuminate （照亮）me and train me up for love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours，too good not to share.
When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school，but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say：“Let’s start with a train whistle today. ” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we，too，were changed into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.
When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend. He was in despair(失望) and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.
For almost four years I have had a remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears，sometimes in a funny way, in the other's dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times，we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments，I often think：“Yes，I must tell. . . . ’’We have never met.
It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist, who will only fill up the healing(愈合的) silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.
60. In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior
was to __________.
A. become serious about her study.
B. go to her friend’s house regularly
C. 1earn from her classmates at school

A. our exploration of London was a memorable gift to both of us.
B. we were unwilling to tear ourselves away from London
C. our unpleasant feelings about London disappeared
D. we parted with each other in London
62. According to Paragraph 4, the author and her friend __________.
A. call each other regularly
B. have similar personalities
C. enjoy writing to each other
D. dream of meeting each other
63. In the darkest moments，the author would prefer to __________.
A. seek professional help
B. be left alone
C. stay with her best friend
D. break the silence
C
A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man--the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands(值得) greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.
This attitude toward manual（体力的）labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously（豪华的）furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward, furthermore, the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled(组合) from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes.
A professional may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.
64. Form paragraph 1, we know that in America ____________.
A. people tend to have a high opinion of the self-made man
B. people can always rise to the top through their won efforts
C. college professors win great respect from common workers
D .people feel painful to mention their fathers as labors
65. According to the passage, the hostess cooks dinner herself mainly because _____________.
A. servants in American are hard to get
B. she takes pride in what she can do herself
C .she can hardly afford servants
D .It is easy to prepare a meal with canned food
66. The expression “wait on table” in the second paragraph means”__________”.
A. work in a furniture shop
B. keep accounts for a bar
C. wait to be served at a restaurant
D. serve customers in a restaurant
67. Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?_______
A. A Respectable Self-made Family.
B. American Attitude toward Manual Labor.
C. Characteristics of American Culture.
D. The Development of Manual Labor
D
My father was poor in expressing his feelings. I knew that my dad loved me, but showed me love in other ways. There was one particular time in my life when this became real to me.
I always believed that my parents had a good marriage, but gradually the strain (紧张）on my mom and dad’s relationship was quite evident. However, I was not prepared for the day when Dad had decided to leave. All that I could think of was that I was going to become a product of a divorced family. I kept telling myself that it wasn’t going to happen. The night before he left, I stayed up in my room for a long time. I prayed and I cried and I wrote a long letter to my dad. I told him how much I loved him and that I would always and forever be his Krissie. As I folded my note, I stuck in a picture of me with a saying I had always heard: “Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a daddy.” Early the next morning, as my dad left our house, I slipped my letter into one of his bags.
Two weeks later, my mother told me that they decided that there were things that the both of them could and would change and that their marriage was worth saving. “W ell, Dad said that when he read your letter, it made him cry. It meant a lot to him and I have hardly ever seen your dad cry. After he read your letter, he called to ask if he could come over to talk. Whatever you said really made a difference to your dad.”
A few days later my dad was back. We never talked about the letter. I guessed that it became a secret between us.

It is not only experts in China who are arguing over whether women should work after marriage or not. Worldwide this question is being discussed as an interestingly large number of married women enter the workplace. Take the United States for example. Since 1960, the percentage of married women in the work force has jumped from 31.9 per cent to 59.4 per cent.
American women first moved into the paid labour force during the World War II, when men left their jobs to fight. In the last fifty years, more and more women have worked outside the home. And over these years of developing, Americans have changed their social values as a result. In 1975, women aged 35 and above made up half of all working women. And by 1980, 60 per cent were women at the age of 45 and above.
Now in Japan, women’s work group is M-shaped with middle-aged women and those aged 20-25 at the two peaks. According to statistics(统计)， 37.7 per cent of Japanese women at childbearing age(25-29) still engaged themselves in work in 1980. and the number reached 50 per cent the next year.
Being a housewife has always been regarded as a “graceful occupation” in Japan. Some young Japanese women believe it is good to be a “ professional housewife”. However, old attitudes have been changing everywhere, and sometimes just out of economic necessary. In recent years, a great number of city housewives have poured out of homes to take part time jobs. Even the UN has given its support.. The 34th Congress of the United Nations in 1979 put forward the decision for formal agreement on the getting rid of discrimination(歧视) against women.
So far, most UN members have agreed on it, but some still haven’t, including the United States.
72. From the first passage, we can learn that ________________.
A. experts encourage women to take paying jobs .
B. men encourage women to take paying jobs
C. government encourage women to take paying jobs.
D. more and more people begin to care about women’s life
73. In the United States _________________.
A.married women are lazier than their husbands.
B.husbands are lazier than their wives
C. few married women used to work outside
D. more married women used to work outside
74.Married women in Japan________________.
A, all work outside their homes
B. seldom work outside their homes
C. have different opinions on their working outside
D. all do housework at their homes
75. More and more women have taken jobs outside for the reason that ________.
A. they have no children to take care of
B. they have no housework to do
C. they want to make more friends.
D. they want to improve their living conditions

第四部分写作(共两节，满分35分)
第一节：任务型读写(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)
阅读下列短文，根据所读内容在文章后的表格中填入恰当的单词。

注意：表格中的每个空只填一个单词。

Let’s face it: homework can be almost as frustrating for parents as it is for kids. Getting kids to do their homework can be a challenge, and when they do sit down to study, a variety of other problems can appear. But your child’s study sessions don’t have to make the whole family stressed out.
Doing homework may not be as fun as playing video games or chatting with friends, but it shouldn’t be something that kids hate. Your children’s assignments should not be busywork, but should help them build a skill or learn something new.
You can help by being a homework monitor, stepping in to answer questions or offer encouragement. This gives you a chance to see what they are learning and how well they understand the material. It helps you understand their learning style and shows you care about their education.
Many kids refus e to study by asking why they have to learn things they’ll never use in real life. If you son or daughter shows little interest in their assignments, you can make them seem more important by pointing out ways you use them in daily life.
Parents who feel that their kids are overloaded can talk about it with the teachers, but they’re in the minority. A 2007 survey showed that 15 percent of parents said their kids had too much homework. About 60 percent said the homework load was just right, and 25 percent thought their children had too little homework.
If you think it takes your child too long to finish homework, try to determine whether the problem lies in having too much work or managing time poorly. One of the things homework is supposed to do is to teach time management.
If your child complains of boredom while doing homework, consider the following suggestions to make study sessions more enjoyable.
Get help from friends: if your children are struggling with an assignment, let them call a friend for help or invite a friend over to work on it with them. You might also invite neighborhood kids over and let them do homework together. Have them sit around the dining table and help each other.
Add physical activity: set mini-goals for homework and allow time for stretching, jumping around, or a snack after each goal is completed. For a kid who can’t sit still, find active ways to study.
Turn the tables: let your children teach you a lesson. Let them give you a quiz
