With the cold of the morning fading, I fed my baby and it fell fast asleep. Usually I would place it in bed and quickly have the house somewhat in 31 .This morning, however, I stayed seated, just 32 ，with the baby in my arms. The thoughts ran into 33 of the mornings with my husband, a father rushing out of the door to meet the obligations of life. It was only a small jump to thoughts of my own 34 .My mother passed away when I was ten, and as I looked 35 ，I could see how much of a family man my dad was. He went to work every morning and 36 to his family every evening. He 37 food, clothing, warmth, and protection. He was a faithful father.Setting the baby down, I dialed the 38 number. I had just realized the 39 of the ordinary --- the daily life going on around us that we often took for granted, and that it needed to be 40 .“Hi, Dad.” I said, 41 back tears.“Hey, Bud. How are you？”42 was in his voice.“Fine, I'm just calling to say…thank you.” I got it out before my throat 43 too much for me to speak.“What for？”“For getting up and going to work every morning of my life. Now that I have my own 44 and I see my husband doing the same, I just wanted to thank you for being 45 . ”There was 46 for a moment as my dad composed himself, and with a small 47 in his voice, he said, “You're welcome, Bud.”I don't remember much of the rest of the call, 48 that moment of revelation about my father, I will never forget. There are those who are known for their heroic 49 , and also those who are known for their fortunes and fame, but it is the 50 everyday fathers who are the true heroes. I'm thankful that my father was one of them.31. A. use B. line C. order D. fashion32. A. thinking B. dreaming C. imagining D. praying33. A. conversations B. struggles C. incidents D. memories34.

A look inside a burglar‟s(夜盗) mind might help you decide.1. Of course I look familiar. I was here just last week cleaning your carpets, painting your shutters, ordelivering your new refrigerator.2. Hey, thanks for letting me use the bathroom when I was working in your yard last week. While Iwas in your home, I unlatched the back window to make my return a little easier.3. To you, leaving that window open just a crack during the day is a way to let in a little fresh air. Tome, it‟s an invitation which I am more than happy to accept.4. If it snows while you‟re out of town, get a neighbor to create car and foot track s into the house, or itwill be a dead giveaway. By the way, loud dogs and nosy neighbors are the two things I hate most.5. It‟s raining, you‟re fumbling with your umbrella, and you forget to lock your door---understandable. But understand this: I don‟t take a day off because of bad weather.6. Do you really think I won‟t look in your sock drawer? I always check dresser drawers, the bedsidetable, and the medicine cabinet.

But these lessons are among the most difficult to teach.Enter KidZania, an internationally praised and truly unique children‟s theme park, that makes life a little easier for parents.KidZania is not a traditional theme park in almost any sense of the word —there are no roller coasters or merry-go-rounds in sight. There are, however, plenty of attractions and activities that will keep children busy, active, engaged and excited all day.What makes it so much fun is that it‟s a kid-sized city — complete with restaurants, banks, grocery stores and hospitals — where the kids get to be adults, doing the things most of us do on any normal day.They start by picking one of nearly 100 “careers” and learning about it. Then, they put on their uniform and a re ready to work and earn KidZania dollars (“Kidzos”).Most activities are universal but some are localized to reflect the distinct flavors and personality of the country and region where the park is located and to keep it real for the kids.Kids get paid for every job they do, which helps them explore the mysteries of managing money. Kidzos in hand, they can spend it or save it. If they run short of money, they‟ll have to find a way to earn some.Each KidZania city is planned in amazing detail, even including real world brands that help sponsor the city and keep it running. I was a little wary of all the popular corporate logos, but the brands weren‟t pushed at all. They are there to reinforce the “real city” feeling by mixing it with things kids recognize.KidZania employs senior citizens who give the park a homey feel and help put children at ease. Management also employs the disabled, whether blind, deaf or wheelchair-bound. Besides making for a more realistic city, this teaches children about those with different abilities and gives them an opportunity to spend time with people they might otherwise have stared at or treated less than kindly.Socialization is an important part of KidZania, just as it is throughout childhood. The KidZania experience empowers kids, giving them the confidence to be their best selves, and the inspiration to be great global citizens. And it‟s part of what makes KidZania such an amazing place for families and children.55. KidZania is unique in that ________.A. it has no entertainment facilitiesB. it includes lots of localized activitiesC. it offers kids chances to learn through workingD. it employs many seniors and disabled people56. The underlined word “wary” in Paragraph 8 is similar in meaning to ________.A. astonishedB. cautiousC. delightedD. conscious57. Children‟s theme park KidZania is set up to ________.A. prepare them to be good citizens in the futureB. provide them with a place to have a good timeC. make them aware of their parents‟ hardshipD. assist them in building a good relationship with parents58. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Children do part-time jobs at a theme parkB. A theme park pushes kids to be grown-upsC. KidZania theme park makes adults‟ life easierD. Kids get to …be‟ adults at KidZania theme parkCMillions of Americans return from long-distance trips by air, but their luggage doesn‟t always come home with them. Airline identification tags can come loose, and the bags go who-knows-where. And passengers leave all kinds of things on planes.The airlines collect the items and, for 90 days, attempt to find their owners. They don‟t keep them, since they‟re not in the warehouse business. And by l aw, they cannot sell the bags, because the airlines might be tempted to deliberately misplace luggage.So once insurance companies have paid for lost bags and their contents, and they no longer belong topassengers, a unique store in the little town of Sco ttsboro, Alabama, buys them. The “Unclaimed Baggage Center,” is so popular that the building, which is set up like a department store, is the number-one tourist attraction in all of Alabama. More than one million visitors stop in each year and take one of the store‟s shopping carts on a hunt for treasures.Each day, clerks bring out 7,000 new items, and veteran（老练的）shoppers rush to paw over them. You can find everything from precious jewels to hockey sticks, best-selling novels, leather jackets, tape recorders, surfboards, even half -used tubes of toothpaste.The store‟s own laundry washes or cleans all the clot hes found in luggage, then sells them. The Unclaimed Baggage Center has found guns, illegal drugs and even a live rattlesnake.The store has a little museum where some of its most unusual acquisitions have been preserved. They include highland bagpipes, a burial mask from an Egyptian pharaoh's tomb, and a medieval suit of armor.Statistics indicate that less than one-half of one percent of luggage checked on U.S. carriers is permanently lost and available to the store.59. Paragraph1 shows that many passengers lose their luggage because______.A. they are forgetfulB. they are in a hurryC. there is no lost and found office in many airportsD. the owners of some luggage can‟t be identified60. The reason why the airlines cannot sell the bags is that ______.A. they have to find the ownersB. they are likely to make a profit on the bags on purposeC. some bags are expensiveD. they have to keep the bags as long as possible61. What can we infer from the passage?A. A little museum will keep all the precious unclaimed baggage.B. The percentage of passengers who lose their baggage forever is small.C. The things in the Unclaimed Baggage Center are articles for daily use.D. People are not allowed to buy the illegal things in the store.62. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To introduce how the unclaimed baggage in the airports is handled in America.B. To introduce an attractive place to tourists.C. To remind passengers of taking care of their baggage.D. To advise the airlines to find the owners of the unclaimed baggage.DThere is a problem each of us faces in following advice on emotional healing: apologizing is difficult. We are trapped in what we think of ourselves by holding onto our pride. We can be selfish and not willing to admit our most obvious mistakes. Pride eats away at us as we argue or ignore the mistake.It's happened to me. I have had too much pride and selfishness to apologize to a loved one I hurt. When I did want to apologize, I couldn't bring myself to face the other person. This is the pride I'm talking about. Maybe apologies come difficult for men because they're expected to be dominant. It's like the joke that a man never asks for directions when lost. Ladies are more emotionally open than guys and are willing to express it. Still, both genders wonder how to correctly apologize.In shifting the focus on apologizing away from you, what does not apologizing do to other people? They feel hurt that you are not willing to communicate your mistake. They lose trust in you as you hide behind your mistake avoiding reality. They become angry with you, wondering why you do not tell them the truth. They may begin to counter your lack of apologies by not apologizing themselves and from thisthe relationship goes downhill as the two of you get caught in a power struggle.You need to communicate your mistakes. A mistake you made is like a scratch and by not apologizing you are making the scratch a deeper wound and rubbing salt into it. You need to stop hurting the other person and yourself by learning to apologize. There is real power in apologizing and emotional healing.63. People find it hard to apologize for their mistakes because of their ________.A. emotional feelingB. sticking to their prideC. making argumentD. being trapped in lies64. Why are men more unwilling to make apologies?A. They don't intend to hurt other people.B. They expect others to forgive them.C. They don't want to be considered weak.D. They aren't good at expressing themselves.65. What bad effect will there be if you refuse to apologize for your mistakes?A. Other people won't pay attention to you.B. You will lose confidence in yourself.C. You won't be forgiven even if you tell the truth.D. The friendship will get hurt and go worse.66. From the last paragraph, it can be inferred that ________.A. communication can stop you making mistakesB. mistakes would turn into deeper scratchesC. apologizing is good for you and other peopleD. apologizing is the most powerful in emotional healingEA mathematician who goes mad is not a subject most directors consider commercially attractive, but then Ron Howard isn‟t among most directors, despite an impressive list of credits, A Beautiful Mind is his most successful work to date, combining psychological drama with a moving love story to produce a film that is as interesting as it is entertaining.The Oscar winning Russel Crowe has put himself in line for further honors with his acting John Nash, the Nobel Prize-winning mathematician troubled by schizophrenia(神经分裂症). A Beautiful Mind pictures Nash as an unusual hero, not just because of his academic achievements, but also because of the courage he displays while battling his illness.In 1947, Nash was one of many great young minds at Princeton. “To find a trul y original idea is the only way to distinguish myself.” The proud and determined student declared. His exploration of such an idea afforded him little time for the normal socializing. His shyness and straightforward approach brought him few friends.After finally hitting on a revolutionary new idea, Nash‟s career took off and his reputation was secured. He balanced research work with teaching, which is where he met the bright and beautiful student Alicia (Jennifer Connelly). Things in his life were going well when his talent for code breaking brought him to the attention of the military who employed him during the early stages of the cold war with Russia. However, the stress of his work made Nash‟s illness develop.Crowe‟s performance is perfect. He and Connelly ignite (make something exciting) the film‟s passionate love story and Connelly‟s wonderful performance makes the audience moved by Alicia, whose courage, strength and faith in her husband are the primary reasons for his recovery.67. The passage is most probably _____.A. a book reviewB. a movie reviewC. a movie posterD. an advertisement68. Which can replace the underlined phrase “hit on” in the fourth paragraph?A. put up withB. come onC. put onD. come up with69. Which of the following statements is not true?A. John Nash did not go mad totally.B. Ron Howard is an outstanding director.C. The stress of the academic work caused Nash‟s illness.D. Nash didn‟t have many friends.70. We can infer form the text that _____.A. without Alicia, John Nash would not have recovered from schizophrenia.B. John Nash gave up his career when troubled by schizophrenia.C. Russell Crowe won another Oscar Award after this movie.D. John Nash volunteered to serve in the army.第四部分：书面表达（共两节，满分50分）第一节：完成句子（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）71.
