I had a very special teacher many years ago whose husband died suddenly of a heart attack. About a week after his 36 , she shared her insights(顿悟) with the students. When the class was nearly over, she 37 and said, “I would like to 38 with all of you a thought that has 39 to do with class, but which I feel is very _40 .
“Each of us is put here on the _41 to learn, share, love and appreciate ourselves. None of us knows when this _42 will end. At any moment it can be _43 . Perhaps this is life’s way of telling us that we must make good _44 of every day.” Her eyes beginning to _45 ,she went on saying, “So I would like you all to 46 me.

It doesn’t have to be something you see——it could be scent(香味) of fresh bread, or it could be the 48 of the wind slightly rustling(发出沙沙声) the le aves.”
“Please look for these things, and 49 them. The little things are put here on the earth for us to enjoy. They are _50 observing, for at any time they can all be taken away.”
The class was totally quiet. We all picked up our books and went out of the room_51 . That afternoon, on my way home I noticed_52 things than before.

第一节阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。

A
Leave a camera on a mountaintop, and chances are, you'll never see it again. But 24-year-old Paul Bellis, a university student from Wales, believed that most people were better than that, and set up a creative experiment to test out his theory.
"I was speaking to a friend who said you can't trust anyone, anywhere these days," Bellis told the Daily Mail. "I didn't want to believe that so I set up this experiment to find out what might happen and prove you can trust people."
Billis decided to do an experiment by hiking up a mountain called Snowdonia, taking a photo, and leaving his camera behind. He also attached a note to the camera, asking other hikers to take photos of themselves and then leave the camera there until the roll of film (胶卷) was empty. He also included his address, in case someone would be nice enough to return the camera to his home after the roll of film was finished.
Four days later, Bellis got a visit from a Snowdonia park manager, who came to return his camera. After Bellis got the film developed, he saw that his fellow hikers and followed his instructions. Thirty people had each taken photos of themselves at the mountain. From viewing the collection, it was clear that all the hikers had enjoyed the experiment.
As for the park manager, Brian, "I found the camera and thought it had been lost until I saw the note," he said. "I was passing his home and just dropped it off. I' m glad that the photos came out very well."
56.The underlined word "that" in Paragraph 2 refers to __________.

B. The roll of film had been used up.
C. Bellis was very kind to other hikers.
D. Bellis asked others to take pictures of him.
58.Brian returned the camera directly because __________.
A. he wanted to be trusted by others
B. Bellis' home was on his way
C. Bellis asked him to do so

Speak, speak, speak!
Practise speaking as often as you can. Speaking to yourself is good practice.
Try recording yourself whenever you can.
Compare your pronunciation with the master version（原版）to see how you can do better and have another go. If you do this several times, you will find that each time is better than last.
Why not learn with someone else?
It helps if you can learn with someone else. If you can persuade a friend or family member to study with you, it will make you keep working.
Don't get stuck by a word you don't know.
Practise improving ways of getting your meaning across when speaking spontaneously（本能地），even if you don't know the exact words or phrases. Think of things you might want to say whenever you have spare time. Use facial expressions, hand movements, anything to make yourself understood.
Language learning is also about intuition（直觉）．
Guesswork is an important way to learn a new language. When listening to recorded material, you aren't expected to understand everything first time round. If you play the same piece several times, you will most probably understand something new each time.
Build up your vocabulary.
A wide vocabulary is the key to successful language learning but don’t try to learn too much at once. It’s best to study frequently, for short periods of ti me. Take at most six or seven items of vocabulary and learn them. Put them into sentences to fix them in your mind, and then come back to them later.
And above all, have fun!
60. What’s the purpose of this passage?
A. To tell us the importance of practicing speaking as often as we can.

B. Move away from a place to another.
C. Enter a certain state or condition.
D. Follow or take a certain course.
62. To learn English well, we shouldn’t _______ according to the passage.
A. practice speaking as often as possible
B. study frequently, for short periods of time to build up our vocabulary
C. try to understand everything and stop when we meet a new word

If you think American cooking means opening a package and throwing the contents into the microwave oven （微波炉），think again. On one hand, it’s true that many Americans have cold cereal ( 谷类食品) for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch and instant dinners. From busy homemakers to working people, many Americans enjoy the convenience of fast food that can be ready to serve in 10 minutes or less. On the other hand, many Americans realize the importance of cooking skills. Parents－especially mothers－see the importance of training their children－especially daughters. Most Americans think that there’s nothing better than a good home-cooked meal. But with cooking, as with any other skill, good results don’t happen by accident.
Probably every cook has his or her own way of cooking. But there are some basic skills that most people follow. For example, baking is a main method of preparing food in America. For that reason, Americans would find it next to impossible to live without an oven. American cooks pay special attention to the balance of foods, too. In planning a big meal they try to include meat, a few vegetables, some bread and often a dessert. They also like to make sure the meal is colouful. Having several different colors of food on the plate usually makes for a healthy meal.
For those who need guidance in their cooking, or for those who have just run out of ideas, recipes are a great help. Recipes list all the ingredients for a dish ( generally in the order used ), the amount of each to use, and a description of how to put them together.
64.The underlined word “ convenience “ in the first paragraph means _______________.
A. the lower and acceptable price
B. being suitable to one’s comfort or needs.
C. The high quality and low price.
D. The unusual taste of the food.
65.Many Americans have cold cereal for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch and instant dinner because ______________.
A. they like instant food very much
B. they don’t like cooking at all.
C. most American working people are busy and don’t have time to cook
D. fast food is delicious and it usually contains a lot of vitamins.
66.From the passage, we know that _____________.
A. Americans don’t care about food
B. Americans are not good at cooking because they like to use recipes
C. an oven plays an important role in cooking for Americans
D. while cooking, Americans usually run out of ideas
D
There is a wonderful story about a young girl who had no family and no one to love her.
One day, feeling very sad and lonely, she was walking through a grassland when she noticed a small butterfly caught in a thorn （荆棘）bush. The young girl carefully released the butterfly.
Instead of flying away, the little butterfly changed into a beautiful fairy. The young girl rubbed her eyes in disbelief.
“For your wonderful kindness,” the good fairy said to the girl, “I will give you any wish you would like.” The little girl thought for a moment and then replied, “I want to be happy.”
The fairy leaned toward her and whispered in her ear. Then the fairy disappeared.
As the little girl grew up, there was no one in the land as happy as she. Everyone asked her secret of happiness. She would only smile and answer, “The secret of my happiness is that I listened to a good fairy when I was a little girl.”
When she was very old and on her deathbed, the neighbors all gathered around her，that her unbelievable secret of happiness would die with her. “Tell us, please,” they begged, “Tell us what the good fairy said.” The lovely old woman simply smiled and said, “She told me that everyone, no matter how secure they s eemed, no matter how old or young, how rich or poor, had need of me.”

VII. 书面表达（25）
One possible version:
Dear editor,
I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we recently had about whether it is good or not for families to own cars.
With the development of people’s living conditions, more and more people have their own cars. Some of us think it good to own a car. Firstly, it’s a convenient,fast and comfortable means of transportation tool. You can go to a lot of places at any time. Secondly, it shows that people are becoming richer, and the country stronger. It also makes businesses and industries develop faster.
Others have different opinions. They think that cars give off waste gas and pollute the environment. Too many cars will have some bad effects, such as more accidents. Besides, parking cars is another big problem. Maybe people should think carefully before they buy a car.
Yours truly,
Li Hua。
