I 36 a red lightand stopped. As I was 37 , I saw a young guy standing on my left. He was 38 inthe face and holding a cardboard sign with some 39 on it. W hen you’re in the heartof downtown, it’s pretty 40 to see homeless people asking for 41 . Generally,I would pass them, but this time when I glanced over the sign, I 42 .I can’t remember what the sign said exactly, but it was something like: “ 43money / food, have stomach cancer, homeless, anything helps.”I did n’t know why, but for some 44 this particular sign struck me. The 45had just turned green, and there was a line of lunch rush hour traffic behind me. Iwent back and forth in my 46 a hundred times in that next 47 about whether I shoulddo something. “Should I help? 48 on? Should I do something?”I didn’t.I did nothing.The traffic moved 49 , and I went with it. About a block or two away, my heart had sunk simply for this guy. I felt so 50 for him.

But now as grown-ups, some adults find they cannot leave childhood behind. They become "kidults" (kid+adult). Being a kidult has become a lifestyle-choice among young people across Asia.Some kidults collect toys they once played with. Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have many adult fans around the world. It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big, Garfield-shaped cushion on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory.Other kidults still enjoy children's stories and fairy tales. For example, Bloomsbury even published the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover. That way, no one else on the subway will know that an adult is actually reading a children's book!"Kidults can be like vitamins to society. Adults who value their childhood and hold on to pure, child-like emotion may be needed in such a rough and dry society," said Lee Sojung, professor of Foreign Studies at Hankuk University(韩国外国语大学).He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap between adults and kids. It could give children and their parents books, movies, and cartoon shows to enjoy together. He may be right.Tim Greenhalgh,a professor,explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up. They value childhood because life in a busy and stressful city frightens them. Kidults would like to forget their age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood.56. We can infer from the article that _________.A. Kidults miss their childhood so much that they can't give up their toysB. Bloomsbury knows some kidults don't want people to know that they are kidultsC. Kidults like to have vitamins very muchD. Some toys are so interesting that even adults like them very much57. According to the author, being a kidult is good in some way except that _______.A. it can improve the relationship between parents and their kidsB. it can help kidults feel relaxedC. it is helpful to solve some social problemsD. it can make people loyal to one's parents58. According to the writer, _______.A. being a kidult is nothing wrongB. kidults have mental problemsC. our society is very dullD. some people can never grow upBChina’s government has been trying all measures to reduce pollution in the past few years. Now people can enjoy a fresh environment everywhere. The following two graphs are adopted from the column of “City Information” on the webpage of Beijing Review.**API stands for Air Pollution Index(指数).**Particulate matter (PM10) is a major component of air pollution that threatens both our health and our environment. It consists of very small liquid and solid particles floating in the air.**Sulfur dioxide(SO2) acts as an acid．Inhalation(吸入) results in labored breathing, coughing, or a sore throat and may cause permanent lung damage.59.

And getting a visa just lets you arrive in the United States. It does not guarantee that an immigration officer will permit you to enter the country.If you are requesting a visa for the first time, you will probably have to go to an American embassy or consulate(领事馆). You will need to bring a government form sent to you by your American school that shows you have been accepted.You will also need banking and tax records that show you have enough money to pay for your education. And be prepared to provide evidence that you will return to your home country after your studies end.All of this is important in satisfying the requirements to get a visa. A consular official will also take your picture and your fingerprints.Foreign students must contact their local embassy or consulate to request an interview and to get other information. This includes directions about how and where to pay the visa application charge. The cost is two hundred dollars.You should apply for the visa as soon as you have been accepted to a school inthe United States. The government needs time to perform a background investigation.You cannot receive a visa more than one hundred twenty days before the start of your program. And if you are coming as a student for the first time, you cannot enter the country more than thirty days before classes begin.Once you come to the United States, you can stay for the length of your period of study. Your school is required to provide the Department of Homeland Security with reports on your status as a student.63. What do you have to take to the American embassy if you request a visa for the first time?A. A government form.B. Banking and tax records.C. Pictures and fingerprints.D. Both A and B.64. When should you apply for a visa?A. The moment you have been accepted to a school in the US.B. One hundred twenty days before you go to the US.C. Thirty days before classes begin.D. After the immigration officer permit you to enter the US.65. How much will you be charged for the visa application?A. Free of charge.B. Two hundred dollars.C. One hundred twenty dollars.D. Thirty dollars.66. What may be the main idea of this passage?A. When to get a visa.B. Some tips on how to get a visa.C. How to enter the US.D. Ways to be accepted by American universities.DWhat would you think if you went back to school on Monday and there were no desks or chairs in your classroom?That's what some fourth-and-fifth-graders at a school in Minnesota discovered earlier this year when they took part in a research project to see if changing their classrooms would make them more active.Researchers from the Mayo Clinic were concerned about reports that as many as half of American kids could be seriously overweight - or obese - by the year 2010. So they set up a different kind of classroom, which you might see in the future.Instead of desks, the Elton Hills Elementary students had adjustable work stations where they could stand, kneel on mats or sit on big exercise balls. Students were given laptops and iPods that allowed them to move and learn at the same time.Sensors (传感器) were attached to the kids' legs to calculate how many calories students burned in their new set-up.Their typical school day was probably not anything like yours. One group of students downloaded an audio file (有声文件) of their teacher reading a book; they listened to it while walking for exercise. Another group took a spelling test by listening to their iPods.Some students liked the freedom, but others missed the traditional classroom."I don't like standing up," Mariah Matrious said. "My legs get tired, and I like sitting down."So, did the experiment work? Researchers still are studying the data, but early resultsindicate that the kids did move around more in the new classroom."It showed us that, given the opportunity to move, kids will move," said researcher Lorraine Lanningham-Foster.That's important because studies have shown that even simple movement - climbing stairs instead of taking an elevator(电梯), for example, or washing dishes by hand instead of loading the dishwasher - can be as important as formal exercise when it comes to controlling one's weight.67. The school in Minnesota carried out the research _______.A. to punish the badly performed studentsB. to prevent children from being too fatC. to spare a lot of money for the stateD. to meet the needs of different children68. The newly designed classrooms are different from the traditional ones EXCEPT that___.A. there were no desks and chairsB. the students can move and learn at the same timeC. students in different groups are given different tasksD. teachers don't necessarily instruct the students69. According to Lorraine Lanningham-Foster, ________.A. the research got some expected resultsB. the experiment needs further changesC. not everyone liked the freedom of this new styleD. The students should be taught without classrooms70. What would be the best title for the text?A. No Desks or Chairs in the ClassroomB. New Classrooms in the FutureC. School Takes a Stand Against ObesityD. Washing dishes by hand in the Classroom第Ⅱ卷非选择题（三部分，共35分）第四部分任务型阅读(10分)You have probably heard it before, most likely from your English teacher. If you want to become a good writer, read good writing. Unfortunately, you may not have understood what did good to you and even what you were supposed to get from that experience.As you start reading a book, poem, or story, do so with no thought at all and the experience will improve your writing. Just read for pleasure to begin with, or to learn. As you progress through the work, think about whether or not it is "easy" reading. Do you become so interested in the subject and flow of the writing that you completely forget the person who wrote it, or does the composition sometimes call too much attention to itself through words and phrases that seem out of place or unexpected? These latter situations are a chance to learn from the writer's mistakes. In fact, the reader should not have to worry about how an author does "his thing" ... he should be able to just enjoy and learn. Every time a word strikes you as poorly chosen, stop to consider why it has this effect. Also, do not spend a lot of time analyzing(分析) the passage but put more efforts in enjoying it from the whole.Another thing I do, particularly with nonfiction（非小说）books, is to select a part to read as if it is a completely separate work. Once again, read as a common consumer rather than a critic (批评家). For learning how words and phrases work together on the most basic level, however, nothing is more suitable than your devotion to reading poems. A poet is often trying to put a book's worth of meaning and feelings into lines, and every side of the work shows a very close attention to craft（工艺）.As you can see, there is no one simple way of reading to improve your writing. The key is not to make it boring. Select authors you admire or like most, and enjoy their works as anyone else would. As long as you are reading, you are improving yourself第五部分完成句子（5分）81．He often __________ __________(受头痛的困扰)headache these days.82．The leader promised to keep us __________ __________ (知晓) fresh development.83.
