One morning more than thirty years ago, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the humblest (卑微的) to the most powerful came for breakfast.
I noticed an empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled. He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.
We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide rang of things. We never introduced ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked,
"May I get you something?"
"A coffee would be nice."
Then I bought him a cup of coffee, We talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee. Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of my friends. He asked,
"How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath?"
"Who?"
"The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs."
I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world's richest and most powerful men!
My few minutes with Mr. Galbreath changed my life. Now I try to treat everyone with respect, no matter who I think they are, and to meet another human being with kindness and sincerity.
24. What does the underlined word "disheveled" mean?
A. Unfriendly.

C. Gentle.
D. Kind.

Modern inventions have speeded up people’s lives amazingly. Motor-cars cover a hundred miles in little more than an hour. Aircraft cross the world a day, while computers operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending. Every year motor-cars are produced which go even faster and each new computer boasts （吹嘘）of saving precious seconds in handling tasks.
All this saves time, but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag(时差); our bodies feel that they have been left behind in another time zone. Again, spending too long at computers results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers according to some scientists; too much use may transmit harmful radiation into our brains, a consequence we do not like to think about.
However, what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing, or even just one thing at a time. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into another world.
There was a time when some people’s lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors faced: they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to
fashion tools from wood and stone. Modern machinery has freed people from that primitive existence.
28. The new products become more and more time-saving because .
A. our love of speed seems never-ending
B. time is limited
C. the prices are increasingly high
D. the manufacturers boast a lot
29. What does “the days” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Imaginary life
B. Simple life in the past
C. Times of inventions
D. Time for constant activity
30. What is the author’s attitude towards the modern technology?
A. Critical
B. Objective
C. Optimistic
D. Negative
31. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The present and past times
B. Machinery and human beings
C. Imaginations and inventions
D. Modern technology and its influence
D
Every day we experience one of the wonders of the world around us without even realizing it. It is not the amazing complexity of television, nor the impressive technology of transport. The universal wonder we share and experience is our ability to make noise with our mouths, and so transmit ideas and thoughts to each other’s minds. This ability comes so naturally that we tend to forget what a miracle (奇迹)it is.
Obviously, the ability to talk is something that marks humans off from animal. Of course, some animals have powers just as amazing. Birds can fly thousands miles by observing positions of the stars in the sky in relation to the time of day and year. In Nature’s talent show, humans are a species of animal that have developed their own special act. If we reduce it to basic terms, it’s an ability for communicating information to others, by varying sounds we make as we breathe out.
Not that we don’t have other powers of communication,our facial expressions convey our emotions, such as anger, or joy, or disappointment. The way we hold our heads can indicate to others whether we are happy or sad. This is so-called “body language”. Bristling(直立的) fur is an unmistakable warning of attack among many animals. Similarly, the bowed head or drooping tail shows a readiness to take second place in any animal gathering.
Such a means of communication is a basic mechanism that animals, including human beings, instinctively acquire and display. Is the ability to speak just another sort of instinct? If so, how did human beings acquire this amazing skill? Biologist can readily indicate that particular area of our brain where speech mechanisms function, but this doesn’t tell us how that part of our bodies originated in our biological history.
32.According to the passage, the wonder we take for granted is________.
A. our ability to use language
B. the miracle of technology
C. the amazing power of nature
D. our ability to make noises with mouth
33.What feature of “body language” mentioned in the passage is common to both human and animals?
A. Lifting heads when sad.
B. Keeping long faces when angry.
C. Bristling hair when ready to attack.
D. Bowing heads when willing to obey.
34.What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A. Body language is unique to humans.
B. Animals express emotions just as humans do.
C. Humans have other powers of communication.
D. Humans are no different from animals to some degree.
35.This passage is mainly about _______.
A. the development of body language.
B. the special role humans play in nature
C. the power to convey information to others
D. the difference between humans and animals in language use

Public Speaking Training
●Get a coach

●Focus on positives
Any training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well. Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren't doing well. 37 , so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn't do.
●38
If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it's going to give you lots of dos and don'ts, walk away! Your brain is so full of what you're going to be talking about. 39 . As far as we're concerned, there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking. Your audience can be your friends.
●You are a special person not a clone
Most importantly, good public speaking training should treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits. 40 . Your training course should help you bring out your personality, not try to turn you into someone you're not.
A. You aren't like anybody else
B. You already do lots of things well
C. Turn your back on too many rules
D. Check the rules about dos and don'ts
E. Whatever the presentation, public speaking is tough
F .The one thing you don't want is for them to fall asleep

第二节书面表达（25分）
Dear editor,
I’m Li Hua. I’m writing to express my concern over the test anxiety（或pressure/stress）among high school students and give my suggestions.
With examinations coming , quite a few of my fellow high school students suffer much anxiety（或pressure/stress）. Some of them bury themselves in the preparations for the exams day and night, which does them harm physically and mentally. Too much anxiety （或pressure/stress ）has some bad effects on students. It can destroy a student’s confidence ，even might make some students lose control of their emotions and behaviors.
Therefore, I think high school students should learn how to reduce anxiety （或pressure/stress）.
First, they should have a right attitude towards examinations. Second, they’d better find some time for fun, for example, listening to music. Sometimes even crying is a good way to release anxiety（或pressure/stress）. Finally, if they find anxiety（或pressure/stress）is nearly beyond their control, they’d better turn to experts for help.
I hope my suggestions are useful.
Yours truly,
Li Hua。
