However, after he finished work he 38 for supper as usual.I asked him how he had 39 at lunch and he told me he had made some new 40 at the carnival, some young men who were twin brothers, and their mom and dad. They had _41_ him a few dollars and invited him for lunch 42 for helping them set up their exhibit and wanted him to43 the next day to help with other chores(杂务).I was glad he had found new friends but a little 44 about the type of people who might be traveling in a carnival. “Oh, Mom, these are just 45 everyday people like anyone else. They 46 work at a carnival instead of in a store or something”. “Come down tomorrow and 47 them yourself,” he said.So the next day I went to the carnival and to the exhibit he had 48 me to. The twin brothers 49 out to be Siamese(连体的) twins, joined at the chest. He hadn’t thought this50 was noteworthy enough to mentio n. When I brought it to him, he said, “yes, I 51 that too. Do you know that their mom has to make all their clothes 52 it’s so difficult to find anything to fit them? They’re also really good 53. Today, Joe, the one on the right, made me spaghetti (意大利面条) for lunch.”What others see first in a person is not what a child considers 54.

In addition, she has also competed in ten World Championships, three Asian Games and three Goodwill Games. Chusovitina holds the record for the most individual World Championships medals on a single event. She won an Olympic team gold medal as a 17-year-old in 1992. Since then she has won a record of eight world titles.Her long career owes something to fate. In 2002, when her son Alisher, now aged nine, was diagnosed with leukemia(白血病), she moved to Germany so that he could get the best possible treatment. To help in those difficult times she kept up her training. It has paid off. But saving Alisher’s life is not her only motivation. As she recently told German media, “There is nothing in the world I enjoy more than gymnastics.”Chusovitina was born on June 19, 1975 in Uzbek USSR. She was formerly a citizen of, and a competitor for, the former Soviet Union (before 1993) and Uzbekistan (1993-2006). She has competed for Germany since 2006. By the year of 2008, Chusovitina’s career in gymnastics had been twenty years.She is one of only a handful of women to return to high-level gymnastics and international competition after becoming a mother. Chusovitina is remarkable in her ability to remain competitive for so many years, often in the face of great difficulty, and has been considered as a role model and an inspiration by many people in the gymnastics community.56. When she was 17 years old, Chusovitina won an Olympic team gold medal for ________.A. the former Soviet UnionB. UzbekistanC. GermanyD. Russia57. Chusovitina might begin her career in gymnastics in _______.A. 1975B. 1988C. 1992D. 199258. Chusovitina left her homeland because _______.A. she wanted to compete in the Beijing 2008 Olympic GamesB. she wanted to serve for GermanyC. she wanted her son to get the best treatmentD. she had to face great difficulty in her homeland59. According to the passage, Chusovitina is different from the other competitors in the Beijing2008 Olympic Games because_______.A. she is the best competitor in the gamesB. she is much older than other gymnastics girlsC. she won an Olympic team gold medal when she was very youngD. she competes in order to earn money60. According to the passage, which of the following words can best describe Chusovitina?A. Kind-hearted.B. Lovable.C. Tough-minded.D. Serious-minded.CA small piece of fish each day may keep the heart doctor away. That's the finding of an extensive study of Dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed(吃) at least an ounce of salt water fish per day than those who never ate fish.The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific backing to the long-held belief that eating fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart.Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States, with more than 550, 000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year. But researchers previously have noticed that the incidence (发生率)of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do. There are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption averages more than 3 ounces.During the last two decades, 78% of the men died from heart disease. The fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese orEskimos. This relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age, high blood pressure, or blood cholesterol (胆固醇) levels.61. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The Dutch research has proved that eating fish can help to prevent heart disease.B. There is a low incidence of heart disease in countries like Japan and Greenland.C. Among all the diseases heart disease is the most dangerous in America.D. Heart doctors won’t call your house so long as you keep eating fish each day.62. The underlined phrase “this relationship” refers to the connect ion between _______ and theincidence of heart disease.A. the amount of fish eatenB. regular fish-eatingC. the kind of fish eatenD. people of different regions63. The passage is mainly about ________.A. the high incidence of heart disease in some countriesB. the changes in people’s diet in the United StatesC. the daily fish consumption of people in different culturesD. the effect of fish-eating regularly on people’s health64. Why is heart disease the most dangerous killer in the United States?A. The author doesn’t give a definite answer.B. Because American people drink too much spirits.C. Because there are a great number of fat people there.D. Because American people eat too much fatty fish.65. How many lives could probably be saved each year in the United States by eating fishaccording to the Dutch study?A. 550, 000.B. 110,000.C. 275,000.D. 852.DThe United States has about 475,000 school buses ---all painted yellow. Each day they carry more than 25,000,000 children, half of all schoolchildren in the country. But these buses, on average, use four liters of diesel (柴油) fuel to travel less than sixteen kilometers. When the school year began last fall, diesel averaged 55 cents a liter nationally. The price nearly doubled, to a dollar and 8 cents, by the end of school in June.Bob Riley speaks for the American School Bus Council. He says fuel prices for schools are not much lower than others have to pay. As a result, schools are looking for ways to reduce transportation costs. Bus routes are being redrawn or, in some cases, canceled (取消). Some areas are buying buses that use natural gas or other alternative fuels. Other steps include fewer field trips and less travel by sports teams. And some school districts (地区) may end any bus service not required by law.Studies show that school buses are the safest form of transportation to and from school. The American School Bus Council says cuts in bus service are bad for children and possibly the environment. It says removing buses from the road will mean an increase in other vehicles transporting students. Spokesman Bob Riley says another concern is that reducing bus services might reduce attendance.But it could also get more children to walk or bicycle to school. And that would surely make people happy at the National Center for Safe Routes to School. More kids walking or biking safely to school is the aim of a three-year-old federal program, part of an international movement. The goal is to increase physical activity and reduce air pollution. The United States will celebrate Walk to School Day on October eighth this year. But for some students, high fuel prices could make every day a walk-to-school day.66. What does this passage mainly tell us?A. High fuel prices’ influences on school buses.B. New measures to transport school students.C. The safest form of student transportation.D. The origin of Walk to School Day.67. Which of the following information is implied in the first paragraph?A. There are too many school buses in the United States.B. There are too many students in the US.C. Diesel prices are going up too rapidly in the US.D. School buses consume too much diesel in the US.68. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A. Cuts in bus service will have negative results.B. The US government is encouraging cuts in bus services.C. The US schools are searching for the safest transportation means.D. Reducing bus service will do a lot of good to the environment.69. In order to cut down transportation cost, many schools take the following measures EXCEPT_____.A. changing some bus routesB. stopping some bus routesC. asking parents to drive children to and from schoolD. using other types of fuels70. The National Center for Safe Routes to School encourages more children to walk or bike toschool in order to ____.A. save more fuels and diesel for the countryB. keep the children safe on their way to schoolC. make the children live a simple lifeD. keep the children healthy and the environment clean第II卷（共55分）第四部分：单词拼写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）71.有人提醒我不要忘了我的承诺。

She’dcaught me laughing at a piece of mail I’d just opened. “Wake-up service, $2.50 per call.” At the bottom was a phone number and a drawing of a rotary phone, like the one my great- aunt Sara had owned 40 years ago.“Is that mail funny?” Genie asked.“Not really,” I admitted. “It’s just outdated.”“What’s a wake-up call?” She asked. I explained how, before smart-phones, people sometimes paid someone to wake them with a call.“Who sent this fl yer（传单）?” she pressed.“Probably someone older,” I said.Her eyes lit up. “Can we order a wake-up?” she asked.“We don’t need it.” I picked it up and headed for the recycling bin.“Wait!” she screamed. “I feel sorry for the wake-up man, if he needs so me money,” she said, tearing up. “Can’t we order?”I looked at the flyer with its drawing of a rotary phone. I remembered, again, my great-aunt Sara and her rotary phone. As a kid, I’d visited her over Labor Day, when Jerry Lewis would host his charity event for the disabled kids. Aunt Sara would squeeze my hand, then reach for the rotary phone, dialing the number on the screen. Holding the receiver between us, we’d announce to the operator, “We’d like to help those kids.”Now here was my own child, showing the same big heart I’d once been encouraged to have, and how could I ignore her? I googled the flyer’s return address. The address belonged to a man called Raymond. He was in his mid-60s. We called him and, holding the receiver between us, the way Aunt Sara and I used to, told him we needed his services. “Great!” Raymond saidin a shaky but friendly voice, clearly amazed at receiving an order from a child.Genie was happy all week.Technology has made some things outdated. But there are still other things the world will always require. In the rush of my daily life, I’d temporarily forgotten that, I guess I just needed a wake-up call.24. Why did Genie beg to order the service?A. She was afraid of being late.B. She wanted to help the old man.C. She was curious about the service.D. She was interested in the rotary phone.25. What made the author finally decide to order a wake-up call?A. Her own childhood experience.B. The less fortunate wake-up man.C. Genie’s curiosity about the service.D. The information she found on Google.26. How did Raymond feel when receiving our order?A. Excited.B. Disappointed.C. Doubtful.D. Regretful.27. What could be the best title for the passage?A. A Wake-up ManB. A Kindhearted GirlC. The Wake-up CallD. The Rotary Phone3.Chokwe Selassie, aged 13, is working hard to help drivers avoid potholes(坑洼). The eighth-grader was inspired to kick off his creation on a recent morning, when his mother was driving him to school. Their car was damaged as it went over a huge pothole in the middle of the street in their hometown of Jackson, Mississippi. He decided to do something about the pothole problem in his city. His solution: an app that warns drivers when there is a pothole ahead.Chokwe developed the app with his friends Rodriguez Ratliff and Emmanuel Brooks. When the app detects a pothole, it is highlighted in red. And if you get close to the pothole, your phone will warn you. Drivers can also use the app to report any potholes they meet, and to look for otherroutes they can take to avoid roads that have them.The app relies on current available information about the streets of Jackson. It works by using the city’s 311 call system, and uses information already stored in a database. Through the call system, citizens dial 311 to report non-emergency problems, which include potholes. Chokwe and his friends determined that focusing on the 10 busiest streets in Jackson would give them a large enough sample size to test the prototype（原型）.Although the app isn't yet available for sale,Chokwe is already looking for ways to improve it. The prototype remains limited to 10 streets in Jackson, but he hopes to add more, so that it includes every street in the city. And then he wants to go even farther until it's nationwide.28. The passage is mainly about .A. a Solution to Traffic JamsB. an App to Detect PotholesC. pothole Problems in Big CitiesD. Poor Road Conditions29. What’s the closest meaning of the underlined phrase “kick off” in Paragraph 1 ?A. leaveB. inventC. beginD. change30. How does the app work through the 311 call system?A. By replying to citizens’ calls.B. By broadcasting traffic accidents.C. By settling non-emergency problems.D. By using its information about potholes.31. Which can be Chokwe’s future target?A. Encouraging more kids to create apps.B. Taking part in more learning programs.C. Making the app available for sale online.D. Making the app include streets nationwide.4.According to German researchers, forcing people to be happy and polite all the time is likely to make them sick. They believe most at risk are air hostesses, call center operators, waiters and other workers in close contact with the public.Professor Dicter Zapf, a researcher into human emotions at FrankfurtUniversity, said false friendliness led to depression, stress and a lowering of the immune(免疫) system. This can lead to more serious illness such as high blood pressure and so on.“Every time a person is forced to repress his true feelings, there are negative consequences for his health,”s aid Professor Dieter Zapf.In order to reach these conclusions, for over two years, 4,000 volunteers including shop workers and air hostess, were put in an imaginary call center and abused by customers. Some of the participants were allowed to answer back, while others had to be polite and friendly all the time.Those who stood up to clients(顾客) had a rapid heartbeat for a brief period, but for those who had to remain friendly, their heart was still racing long after the client had hung up.The conc lusion reached by the researchers was that“being friendly against one's will causes nothing but stress”.Professor Zapf said, “We are all able to control our emotions, but it becomes difficult to do this over a long period as air hostesses are forced to on long flights.”“These people need space away from the passengers where they can be on their own and let their feelings run free. We have to get away from the ‘customer is king’ attitude and show more respect to those working in the service industr ies.”32. Who are most at risk when forced to be polite all the time?A. Those connected with the public.B. Those in service industries.C. Those with high blood pressure.D. Those working at the airport.33. According to Professor Dicter Zapf, false friendliness can _____.A. cause conflicts among peopleB. improve people’s relationshipC. control high blood pressureD. lead to more serious illnesses34. What can be inferred from the text?A. About 4000 voluntary students took part in the research.B. Those allowed to answer back had a slow heartbeat.C. Those forced to remain polite are likely to have heart problems.D. Air hostess should be allowed to lose their temper on long flights.35. What is the main purpose of this text?A. To tell people to take the “customer is king” attitude.B. To persuade people out of working in service industries.C. To appeal to people to respect those in service industries.D. To remind people in service industries to control their emotions.二、未分类(共2题)1.Bad days happens to many of us. Something makes us sad, angry, frustrated or disappointed.

Lately,however,people have reported seeing them in quiet neighborhoods all across the country!Usually considered shy and seldom seen,these lions are becoming more noticeable.In addition,the lions appear to be moving east.They were even reported in the suburbs （郊区）of Boston,Philadelphia,and Chicago.It seems certain that these“kings of the mountains”are moving.Why?Scientists are not sure.Some think that as the mountain lion population increases in the weat,younger wild cats are leaving the area.These cats are searching for new homes and new places forfood.“The young males are looking for new homes,”says Lynn Sadler,who is the director of the Mountain Lion Foundation in Sacramento,Calif.“People tend to create too many barriers（障碍）,such as buildings,fences,roads,and noise.As the mountain lions seek new places and food and water sources（水源）,these barriers get in their way.”The sightings have made people increasingly watc hful.Sometimes the“mountain lions”that people report seeing turn out to be large dogs or even house cats.But at least a few of the meetings have been real.The building of new roads,the growing of suburbs and the growing popularity of outdoor activities are all increasing the chances that people in various parts of the country may meet up with a mountain lion.Because many people are concerned about the reappearance of the American lion,an expert outlined some ways they can avoid attracting the wild cats：Never leave pets or pet food outside;properly care for farm animals;and plan public land use to enable the lions to move safely from one place to another.“To be fair,”says the expert,“mountain lions are trying to regain their homes.They were here first.N ow we need to find ways we can live together.”56 .Mountain lions are moving probably because________.A.the suburbs of big cities are peaceful and quietB.more roads are being built into the mountainsC.the number of the lions increases in the westD.young lions are seeking new partners57 .According to the passage,it is clear that________ .A.the reported sightings of mountain lions have not been provedB.people walking in the country may come across a lionC.fences have been built to protect the lionsD.mountain lions prefer populated areas58.To avoid attracting mountain lions,people are advised_________ .A.to build more roads for the lions to move safelyB.to keep a close watch on their farm animalsC.not to stay outdoorsD.not to raise pets59.Which is the best title for the passage?A.Mountain Lions in Unlikely PlacesB.Measures Taken to Avoid LionsC.Number of Sightings Going UpD.Mountain Lions Moving WestBWhat makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did.” or “You are such a smart child.”60. The words “intelligent” and “brilliant” in the first paragraph probably mean _______while “dull” in the second paragraph means ________.A. bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understandingB. pretty and handsome; ordinary-lookingC. great and important; commonD. hopeful and helpful; careless61. A person ________ is more likely to become a genius.A. whose parents are cleverB. often thinking about difficult problemsC. often helped by his parents and teachersD. born with a good brain and putting it into active use62. It is better for parents ________.A. to praise and encourage their children more oftenB. to be hard on their childrenC. to leave their children alone with nothing to doD. to give their children as much help as possible63. Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?A. Parents play an important part in their children‟s growth.B. The less you use your mind the duller you may become.C. Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.D. What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion.CIf you wish to become a better reader, here are four important points to remember about rate, or speed, of reading:1. Knowing why you are reading—what you are reading to find out—will often help you to know whether to read rapidly or slowly.2. Some things should be read slowly throughout. Examples are directions for making or doing something, arithmetic problems, science and history books, which are full of important information. You must read such things slowly to remember each important step and understand each important idea.3. Some things should be read rapidly throughout. Examples are simple stories meant for enjoyment, news, and letters from friends, items, or bits of news from local, or hometown, paper, telling what is happening to friends and neighbors.4. In some of your readings, you must change your speed from fast to slow to fast, as you go along. You need to read certain pages rapidly and then slow down and do more careful readings when you come to important ideas which must be remembered.64. According to the passage, your reading speed depends on ________.A. whether the reading material is easy or difficultB. what you are readingC. what your purpose in reading something isD. both B and C65. If one wants to be relaxed by reading, one should take up ________.A. a story bookB. a book on science and technologyC. news, letters from friendsD. some material full of information66. Which of the following readings should you read slowly and carefully?A. Fairy tales.B. Aesop‟s Fables.C. Directions for use of a machineD. An evening paper.67. Which of the following can best express the main idea of the passage?A. How to decide your reading speed.B. How to raise your reading speed.C. How to improve your reading skills.D. How to choose your reading materials.DThe most frightening words in the English language are, “Our computer is down.” You hear it more and more when you are on business. The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said, “I‟m sorry, I can‟t sell you a ticket. Our computer is down.”“If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket.”“I can‟t write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so.”I looked down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen. Then I asked her, “What do all you people do?”“We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not.”“So when it goes down, you go down with it.”“That‟s good, sir.”“How long will the computer be down?” I wanted to know.“I have no idea. Sometimes it‟s down for10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. There‟s no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since it‟s down it won‟t answer us.”After the girl told me they had no backup(备用)computer, I said. “Let‟s forget the computer. What about your planes? They‟re still flying, aren‟t they?”“I couldn‟t tell without asking the computer.”“Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he‟s flying to Washington, ” I suggested.“I wouldn‟t know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going t o Washington, he couldn‟t take you if you didn‟t have a ticket.”“Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours?”“I wouldn‟t know,” she said, pointing at the dark screen. “Only …IT‟ knows. …It‟ can‟t tell me.”By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. The word soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down. Some people went white, some people started to cry and still others kicked their baggage.68. The best title for the article is _______.A. When the Computer Is DownB. The Most Frightening WordsC. The Computer of the AirportD. Asking the Computer69. What could the girl in the ticket office do for the passengers without asking the computer?A. She could sell a ticket.B. She could write out a ticket.C. She could answer the passengers‟ questions.D. She could do nothing.70. According to this passage, how long would the computer be down?A. For ten minutes.B. For an hour.C. It would be down for two hours.D. It wasn‟t clear.71. Why do you think they had not a backup computer?A. Because it was easy down.B. Because it was very expensive.C. Because it was not advanced enough.D. Because it was not as big as the main computer.ECELEBRATIONS spread across China when Shanghai was given the right to host the 2010 World Expo on December 3, 2002.Shanghai won the honor after beating rivals (对手) from Russia, Mexico, Poland and South Korea, "I'm very proud of being Chinese," said Wang Kaibo, a Senior 2 student.

And that led it to be adopted by a much larger group－the business group.You cannot wear a tie if you work with machinery. So wearing a tie became a sign that you were a man who used your brain to make a living, rather than your hands. It showed you were serious. It showed you were a professional. It meant that everyone who wanted a job in business had to wear one. It was just impossible to take seriously a man who didn’t wear a piece of colored silk around his neck.This is how millions of people came to be wearing ties across the world. They are part of the uniform (制服) of business.Is there a future for ties? The signs are not promising. Many political leaders, including former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, now go without ties.It was common for men across the western world to wear hats as part of their business uniform up until around 1960. That changed with the election of John F. Kennedy to the president of the United States. Kennedy never wore a hat－in fact his nickname was “hatless Jack”. Seeing that the most powerful man in the world did not have to wear a hat, millions of other men decided that they did not have to, either. Hats simply disappeared across the Western world. Perhaps “tieless Tony” (former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair) will have the same effect as “hatless Jack”31. In Britain, ties were first used as a sign to show a person’s ________.A. personalityB. social positionC. wearing styleD. favorite hobby32. Nowadays, ties are ________.A. the symbol that your work is importantB. a sign that you make a living by your handsC. a decoration to show you are seriousD. part of uniform of business33. What opinion may the writer hold?A. Blair is the best leader in the world.B. Kennedy is the best leader in the world.C. millions of people will go to work without a tie.D. people will wear hats instead of ties.34. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. If you are a professional, you can’t wear a tie in Britain.B. The tie will become more fashionable and popular in the future.C. John F. Kennedy changed the fact that wearing hats as part of their business uniform.D. Men didn’t wear hats as part of their business uniform until around 1960.35. What can we know from the last paragraph?A. Wearing ties remains very popular with powerful men in the world.B. It is possible that wearing ties will not be fashionable in the future.C. Men in the western world will still wear hats and ties.D. It will be inconvenient for people to wear ties and hats at work.第二节：七选五（根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
