We should show respect to everybody, especially our elders because they are ahead of us — in age, in wisdom and maturity, in experience and education. Our 36 have done a lot for us, directly or indirectly and most of us 37 everything to their kindness and love.
When we 38 them respect, whether it is by bowing to them, or 39 them with a smile, or offering them any help they need, it is one way of 40 our own love and gratitude to them. 41 , elders have also been through all the years you are 42 and know a little more about the world than you do.
It is 43 that you do not agree with the belief of your elders, but this is nothing new. All younger generations have always 44 with their elders and it is these differences that bring changes in human 45 . However much you disagree with them, give them credit for their 46 .
With changing times and 47 influences, youngsters no longer know what is interpreted as disrespect to elders. Youngsters should 48 express their views and if there are arguments, they should not 49 their voices.
If there is no space on sofas or chairs, children will immediately 50 their places, and sit on the carpet. In buses and trains, youngsters are 51 to give up their places to older people. This is not a 52 of who has more rights. It is simply that those who are younger have the strength to bear 53 , or tolerate unpleasantness, so it is natural to show consideration to those who are older and perhaps at a 54 disadvantage.
When you do simple things as a mark of respect, elders become 55 that youngsters care for them, and they respond with affection and kindness.

第三部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
A
When I was an official of a school in Palo Alto, California, Polly Tyner, the president of our board, wrote a letter that was printed in the Palo Alto Times. Polly’s son, Jim, had great difficulty in school. He was classified as the educationally
handicapped and required a great deal of patience on the part of his parents and
第 6 页共 22 页
teachers. But Jim was a happy kid with a great smile that lit up the room. His parents knew his difficulties, but they always tried to help him see his strengths so that he could walk with pride. Shortly after Jim finished high school, he was killed in a motorcycle accident. After his death, his mother submitted this letter to the newspaper.
“Today we buried our 20-year-old son. He was killed in a motorcycle accident on Friday night. How I wish I had known that the last time I had talked to him would be the last time. If I had only known that, I would have said to him, ‘Jim, I love you and I’m always so proud of you.’ I would have taken the time to count the many blessings he had brought to the lives of the people who loved him. I would have taken the time to appreciate his beautiful smile, his laughter, and his genuine love to other people.
“When I put all the good things on the scale and try to balance them with all the irritating (恼人的) things such as the radio that was always too loud, the haircut that wasn’t to our liking, the dirty socks under the bed, etc., I find that the irritations really don’t amount to much.
“I won’t get another chance to tell my son all that I would have wanted him to hear, but, other parents, do have a chance. Tell your young people what you would want them to hear as if it may be your last conversation. The last time I talked to Jim was the morning of the day when he died. He called me to say, ‘Hi, Mom! I just called to say I love you. You have to go to work now. Bye.’ That day, he gave me something to treasure forever. ”
If there is any purpose at all for Jim’s death, maybe it is to make others appreciate life more and to tell people, especially family members, that they should take the time to let each other know just how much they care. You may never have another chance. Do it today!
56. Who was Jim?
A. A school boy.
B. The writer.
C. The president of a school board.
D. An official of a school.
57. What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase “the educationally handicapped”?

B. His parents always scolded him about his bad school marks.
C. His study needed more attention from his parents and teachers.
D. He was killed in a car accident.
59. What did Polly think of Jim?
A. He was a lovely boy with a beautiful smile who always loved others.
B. He was physically sick but always happy.
C. He was an irritating boy with some bad habits.
D. He seldom expressed his love for his parents.
60. The purpose of Polly’s letter is to .

B
While IQ (Intelligence Quotient) tells you how smart you are. EQ (Emotional Quotient) tells you how well you use your smartness. Professor Salovery, the psychologist who created the term, EQ, says that it is IQ that gets you hired but it is EQ that gets you promoted.
Supported by his research, he suggested that when predicting future successes, a person’s brainpower, as measured by IQ tests, might actually matter less than a person’s character, or EQ. Professor Salovery may be correct. For example, have you ever wondered why some of the best and smartest students in your class end up failing exams? Perhaps it is because of their EQ. People often make the mistake of thinking that EQ is the opposite of IQ. It is not. Although it is hoped that people have both high EQs and IQs, there is little doubt that those with low EQs have a
hard time surviving in life.
For a long time, researchers discussed if a person’s IQ could be raised. The geneticists said no, while the social scientists said yes. Furthermore, the social scientists said that it was possible to improve a person’s EQ, particularly in terms of “people skills”, such as understanding and communication.
Recently, a professor released the findings of a study on senior high school students. When some normal students were introduced to some disabled students, they found that afterwards they were more willing to help people in difficulties. At the same time, there was a marked change in the disabled students’ attitudes. They became more positive about their disabilities and were more eager to try new things. People with high EQs often have positive attitudes towards life and are open to different ideas, so they tend to be more creative in their thinking. Please remember that having
a high IQ is helpful but having a high EQ might even be more helpful.
61. According to Professor Salovery, what factor matters the most in predicting whether a person will be successful or not?
A. How a person tests his / her brainpower.
B. A person’s character.
C. How smart a person is.
D. A person’s IQ.
62. The second paragraph tells us that .
A. people who have a high IQ always have a high EQ
B. EQ is the opposite of IQ
C. people who have a low EQ tend to have a hard life
D. people who have a high EQ always have a high IQ
63. What did the professor find from his study of normal students being introduced to some disabled children?
A. Students with disabilities were not open in trying new things.
B. There was no change in the normal students.
C. The disabled students became more positive and more eager to try new things.
D. The disabled students were more willing to help others.
64. Which of the following is the writer’s attitude toward EQ and IQ?
A. IQ is more helpful to people than EQ.
B. IQ can be raised by understanding and communication.
C. EQ can get people hired.
D. A high EQ is of great benefit in getting people promoted.
65. Which of the following would be the best title of this passage?
A. A person’s brainpower.
B. IQ, EQ and success.
C. IQ and a person’s character.
D. A person’s IQ and EQ.
C
Have you ever heard of blogs (博客)? If you haven’t, you should have. It’s here, it’s growing and it’s having an influence on our life. Surf the Internet and you’ll find blogs everywhere. A blog, shortened from “weblog”, is a public Internet journal written by one person or a group of people. It is a website in which a person or a group can place news, personal thoughts, text, photos, video or audio files, or links upon which visitors can comment. A blog lets you post on the Internet without having to know web design or be technical. You are given an environment to make dated entries on the topic of your choice which are “published”, so other people can read them.
Authoring a blog, maintaining a blog or adding an article to an existing blog is called “blogging”. Blogging has revolutionized Internet publishing in the last several years because it gives everyone with Internet access the opportunity to become an online writer. Objects, such as “text and photos” in a blog can be called “blog posts”, “posts”, or “entries”. The person who posts these entries is called a “blogger”.
Now, somewhere around the world, a blog is created almost every 6 seconds. Because it’s great potential, Bill Gates views it as important as e-mail, BBS, and MSN. He’s trying to make blogs the important tools for future business communications.

All Eskimos live most of their lives close to sea or fresh water. They may follow game inland for several hundred miles, but they always return to the shores of rivers, lakes, or seas. Eskimo land has a bare look. Large rocks, pebbles, and sand cover much of the surface. Plants called lichen (地衣) grow on the rocks, and where there is enough soil, grass, flowers, and even small bushes manage to live. No trees can grow on Eskimo land, so geographers sometimes call it the Arctic plains. There are some animals in Eskimo land, such as rabbits, which eat the plants. Other animals, like the white fox and the gray wolf, eat the rabbits. The Eskimo is a meat-eater, too, and may even eat a wolf when food is scarce.
The Eskimo year has two main parts: a long, cold winter and a short, cool summer. Spring and fall are almost too short to be noticed. Summer is the best time, as food is usually plentiful. But it is also the time when Eskimos are very busy. Winter is never far away, and the men must bring home extra meat for the women to prepare and store, for seldom can enough animals be killed in winter to feed a family.
The Far North is sometimes called the land of the midnight sun. This is true in the middle of summer, for between April 21st and August 21st the sun never sets in Northern Greenland. But in midwinter the Far North is a land with no sunshine at all. Around Oct. 21st the Eskimos of Northern Greenland see the sun set directly south of them, and they don’t see it again until February 22nd. All places on earth get about the same amount of daylight during a year. As a result, if summer is lighter, winter has to be darker.
Winter nights in the Far North are seldom pitch-black. As in the rest of the world, the stars and moon provide a little light. The northern lights also help the Eskimo to see. And with the ground covered with snow, even a little light is reflected back to the Eskimo’s eyes.
71. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Eskimos do not usually eat wolves.
B. Eskimos like to chase one another.
C. Eskimos depend heavily on water.
D. Eskimos are meat-eaters.
72. In the Eskimo year, _________.
A. there is no spring and fall
B. winter is cold and summer is hot
C. summer is a time for growing food
D. winter comes early and goes late
73. What’s the meaning of the underlined words “pitch-black” in Paragraph 4?
A. Dark with a little light.
B. A little dark.
C. Not dark at all.
D. Extremely dark.
74. From the passage, we can infer all of the following EXCEPT that_______.
A. Eskimos are more likely to eat wolves in summer
B. Eskimo women are responsible for housework
C. meat is the main source of food for the Eskimo
D. hunting is an important part of Eskimo life
75. Why is summer lighter in the Far North?
A. Because the Far North is far away from the sun.
B. Because the sun is not seen for five months of the year.
C. Because the sun never sets in midsummer.
D. Because people see the sun set directly south of them.
第四部分写作（共两节，满分45分）
第一节阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）
阅读下面的短文，并根据文章后的题目要求回答76-80小题。

If you’re a person who wants to be fit, here are some suggestions for you.
1. Get to know yourself well.
You should know what the right weight is for your age, height, and body type. You can check with your parents or with a doctor. Only by knowing enough about yourself can you make a suitable fitness plan for yourself.
2. Eat a variety of foods, especially fruits and vegetables.
You may have a favorite food, but it is best to eat a variety of foods. If you eat different kinds of foods, you’re more likely to _______________ your body needs.
3. Drink water and milk more often.
When you’re really thirsty, water is the No.1 thirst quencher. Try to limit the intake of sugary soft drinks, like sodas and juice cocktails. They contain a lot of added sugar. Also you need calcium to grow strong bones, and milk is a great source of this mineral. Two cups of milk (about half a liter) will work for you each day.
4. Limit screen time.
What’s screen time? It’s the amount of time you spend watching TV, DVDs and videos, playing hand-held computer games and using the computer. The more time you spend
on these sitting-down activities, the less time is available for active stuff, like basketball, bike riding and swimming. Try to spend no more than 2 hours a day on screen time. Don’t be a couch potato.
5. Be active.
You should figure out which activities you like best. Boys may be more interested in ball games, or maybe have a passion for karate and things like that. Girls may like dancing; nowadays yoga has become more and more popular among females of all ages.
76. What is the best title of the passage? (Please answer within 5 words.)
___________________________________________________________________________ 77. Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?
It is better to eat different kinds of foods so you shouldn’t just eat the kind you like best.

The manager of a large office building received many complaints about the lift service in the building. He hired a group of engineers to study the situation. They suggested two solutions: 1. adding more lifts of the same type; 2. replacing the lifts with faster ones.
The manager considered that both suggestions were too expensive. So he asked a professor to study the problem. The professor noticed that many people felt angry
because they thought they had to wait too long for the lift. However, the professor found that they only had to wait for quite a short time. He realized that the reason why they felt angry is that they had nothing to do while they were waiting for the lifts. He suggested a simple, cheap solution to the manager. This was accepted and complaints stopped immediately. The solution was to place a large mirror next to the lifts.

Are Pets Good for People
Some people say the great advantage of keeping pets is that pets can keep us company, and we all need companions to keep us feeling happy. Often a cat or a dog can comfort us at times when human words don’t help. A pet in a family can help to keep people in touch with the more natural animal world.
Others think that keeping pets is just a waste of time and resources. And some pets can cause serious illness. Besides, some people nowadays are so crazy about pets that they even neglect caring for others’ health and the hygiene of the public places.。
