Animals will lose their freedom if caged in the zoo．Those who are against think it provides chances for people to see wild animals．It might also develop people’s love for animals and nature．Besides，animals in zoos can be protected from danger in the wild．I personally feel it is wrong to take animals away from their natural living areas and keep them locked up.录音材料Text 1W: I thought the movie was going to be really boring.M: But it is actually the opposite, isn’t it?W: Yes, it is.Text 2W: These T-shirts look nice.

AWhy is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for b oys?The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as per sonal experiences. To the Egyptians, green was a color that r epresented the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it m eans heaven. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. In China, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a sy mbol of protection and religious beliefs. Greek people often w ear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evil s（灾祸）.People’s choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies’ re actions （反应）toward them. Green is said to be the most restful color. It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically. People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomach aches.Red can cause a person’s blood pressure to rise and increa se people’s appetites（食欲）. Many decorators will include different shades of red in t he restaurant. Similarly, many commercial websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color that easily catc hes a person’s eye.Blue is another calming color. Unlike red, blue can cause pe ople to lose appetite. So if you want to eat less, some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what colo r to decorate your room, think about the color carefully.1.

He planted vegetables, fruit trees a nd even kept bees for honey.And every week he cleaned Old Man McColgin's chicken hou se in exchange for manure(肥料).

For exa mple, just one of his cantaloupes filled the entire house with it s sweet smell, and the taste was even sweeter.As the vegetables started coming in, Dad threw himself into cooking. One day, armed with a basket of vegetables, he ann ounced he was going to make stew(炖菜).Dad pulled out a pressure cooker and filled it up with cabb ages, eggplants, potatoes, corns, onions and carrots. For abo ut half an hour. the pressure built and the vegetables cooked. Finally, Dad turned off the stove, the pot began to cool and th e pressure relief valve sprayed out a cloud of steam. If we tho ught Dad's pile of chicken manure was bad, this was 10 times worse. When Dad took off the lid, the smell nearly knocked u s out.Dad carried the pot out and we opened doors and windows toair out the house. Just how bad was it? The neighbors came out of their houses to see if we had a gas leak! Determined, Dad filled our plates with steaming stew and pas sed them around it didn’t look that bad, and after the first wav e had shut down my ability to smell, it didn’t offend the nose s o much, tasty, and we drank up every last drop of soup.5.Why did Dad clean Old Man Mocolgin’s chicken house regul arly?A.

But a new study suggests they used a little rock‘n’r oll. Long-ago builders could have tied wooden pole s to the stones and rolled them across the sand, the scientists say.“Technically, I think what they’re proposing is possible,” physi cist Daniel Bonn said.People have long puzzled over how the Egyptians moved such huge rocks. And there’s no obvious answer. On average, ea ch of the two million big stones weighed about as much as a l arge pickup truck. The Egyptians somehow moved the stone blocks to the pyramid site from about one kilometer away. The most popular view is that Egyptian workers slid the block s along smooth paths. Many scientists guess workers first wo uld have put the blocks on sleds(滑板). Then they would have dragged them along paths. To make the work easier, workers may have made the path slippery(滑的) either with wet clay or with the fat from animals. Bonn has now tested this idea by building small sleds and dragging hea vy objects over sand.Evidence from the sand supports this idea. Researchers foun d small amounts of fat, as well as a large amount of stone and the remains of paths.However, physicist Joseph West think there might have been a simpler way , led the new study . West said , “I was inspired while watchinga television program showing how sleds might have helped with pyramid construction . I thought , ‘Why don’t they just try rolling the things？’“A square could be turned into a rough so rt of wheel by attaching wooden poles to its sides , he realized. That , he notes , should make a block of stone “a lot easier t o roll than a square”.So he tried it.He and his students tied some poles to each of four sides of a 30-kilogram stone block. That action turned the block into somew hat a wheel. Then they placed the block on the ground.They wrapped one end of a rope around the block and pulled. The researchers found they could easily roll the block along d ifferent kinds of paths. They calculated that rolling the block re quired about as much force as moving it along a slippery(滑的)path.West hasn’t tested his idea on larger blocks, but he thinks rolli ng has clear advantages over sliding. At least, workers would n’t have needed to carry animal fat or water to smooth the pat hs.12. It’s widely believed that the stone blocks were moved to the pyramid site by ______.A. rolling them on roadsB. pushing them over the sandC. sliding them on smooth pathsD. dragging them on some poles13.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 7 refer to ?A. Rolling the blocks with poles attached.B. Rolling the blocks on wooden wheels.C. Rolling poles to move the blocks.D. rolling the blocks with fat.14. Why is rolling better than sliding according to West ?A. Because more force is needed for sliding.B. Because rolling work can be done by fewer cattle.C. Because sliding on smooth road is more dangerous.D. Because less preparation on path is needed for rolling.15. What is the text mainly about ?A. An experiment on ways of moving blocks to the pyramid site.B. An application of the method of moving blocks to the pyra mid site.C. An argument about different methods of moving blocks to the pyramid site.D. An introduction to a possible new way of moving blocks t o the pyramid site.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

I turned my head toward the girl and gave her a wink (眨眼). As I took the money from her grandparents, I looked back at the girl, who was giving me the cutest (漂亮的，机灵的), largest smile I have ever seen.All of a sudden her handicap was gone and all I saw was this beautiful girl, whose smile just melted me and almost instantly gave me a completely new sense of what life is all about.

AA poor young artist came to the gate of the subway station. He put his hat on the ground and took out a large piece of paper and laid it on the ground. Then he began playing the violin. The words on that paper said, “Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put an important thing into my hat by mistake. Please come to claim it.”He was soon surrounded by people wondering what had happened. After about half an hour, a middle-aged man ran there in a hurry, grabbed his shoulders and said, “Yes, it’s you. You did come here. I knew that you’re anhonest man and would certainly come here.”The story turned out to be this: George Sang bought a lottery （彩票）ticket a few days ago. The awards opened yesterday and he won a prize of $500,000. So he felt very happy and he took out 50 dollars for the wonderful music played by the young man. However the lottery ticket was also thrown in.Later someone asked the violinist: “At that time you needed to pay the tuition fee and had to play the violin every day to make the money. Then why didn’t you take the lottery ticket for yourself?”The violinist said, “Although I don’t have much money, I live happily; but if I lose honesty I won’t be happy forever.”1.Why were the violinist surrounded with a lot of people?A. He was waiting for someone who has lost money.B. He was playing the violin in the street.C. He was begging money in public.D. He had written something strange on paper in front of him.2. What can be inferred form the passage?A. The violinist was given the lottery ticket as a reward.B. The violinist was given the lottery ticket because George thought it useless.C. The violinist was given the lottery ticket because George didn’t notice that.D. The violinist was given the lottery ticket because George wanted to help him.3. Which can be the best title of the passage?A. A Poor Young ArtistB. An Artist And a GentlemanC. Honesty Saves People from TroubleD. Honesty Brings HappinessBEveryone knows how the story of Cinderella does everything from sweeping the floor to cooking the meals before she meets the prince. If som eone asked Cinderella, “Are there any kinds of household work that you particularly hate?”She probably would answer , “Why , none , of course. Housework is my duty!”In the real world, however, most people have certain dislikes for some kinds of household work. Two of these tasks are ironing（熨）clothes and washing dishes.Ironing clothes is most hated because it is not a task that can be completed quickly or thoughtlessly. Each piece of clothing must be handled（处理）separately, so ironing a basket of them can take hours! If you do not follow directions carefully, it might become wrinkled and you have to start over. Perhaps that is why ironing is not a favorite thing to do. It calls for extreme attention to detail from beginning to end.Another household job that many people dislike is washing dishes. Of course, some people claim that this work is no longer a problem because , we have dishwashers now! However, no one would argue that dishes, silverware, and especially pots and pans washed in a dishwasher don’t com e out as clean as they do when washed by hand. For this reason, many of us continue to wash our dishes. And it is a job that not only takes a lot of energy but also requires the patience to wash and dry them. In addition, unlike ironing clothes, washing dishes is a thing that usually must be done every day. I don’t know how Cinderella felt about this particular task, but I believe that most people hate it as much asI do.4. For Cinderella, doing household work is __________.A. what she hates to doB. what she is responsible forC. what she loves to doD. what she is content with5. Most people hate to do clothes-ironing because _________.A. it takes a lot of timeB. it has to be done by one personC. it must be handled skillfullyD. it needs careful planning6. Many people still prefer washing dishes by hand to machine washing because _________.A. hand washed dishes are cleanerB. dishwashers are not so easily handledC. some dishes cannot be washed by machineD. washing dishes by hand is cheaper7. Ironing is different from washing dishes in that _________.A. it requires patienceB. it is not a daily houseworkC. it is not tiringD. it needs less careCBack in the early 1990s, I knew little about computers. But what I did know was that something hu ge was happening. It was changing imaginations and possibilities like nothing I had ever known. And I knew I had dreams that hadn’t come true. But I didn’t know how to realiz e them until I met with my old friend, Rolly Rouse, when we happened to move into the same neighborhood. Rolly often called me with a lot of ideas. We talked about the Internet and about starting a new online company together．He was then developing a plan and he wanted me to be apart of it: we would give people wonderful electronic houses on a CD-ROM and let them modify（改变）those houses to their own needs. When they were satisfied，we would enable them to go online to make the project happen, and to get the products Building Blocks was the name Rolly came up with for the new company. Rolly simply gave up his business to commit himself full time to Building Blocks. I soon joined him after I quit my well paid job at a newspaper．Together we developed a demo to show the features of our CD—ROM, “The New American Dream Home”. Then we took it to the annual convention of the National Association of Home Builders in Boston. To our satisfaction, nearly everyone expected to see what we were showing, including the top companies. When we left, we had invitations to tell them more about Building Blocks. That was the start of my real lifetime dream and Building Blocks, our company, has been on a road to success ever since.8. In the first paragraph, “something huge was happening” refers to_________．。

The power of the blast shattered（使粉碎）nearby shop windows and ripped the stainless（不生锈的）steel rubbish can to pieces.One passer-by，identified（确认）only as Zhang，said she was shocked by the noise and saw a lot of pedestrians lying on the ground when she got to the scene.Thirteen of the injured were taken to a local hospital after the explosion. A doctor there said five were in serious condition but already out of danger after emergency treatment. The others were just slightly hurt.The cause of the explosion is still under investigation, said an officer with the Tongren police, but refused to speculate as to the cause.36．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A.

This is because women traditionally make decisions about spending.Users were more likely to shop online to save time. Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 were responsible for some of the most dramatic（显著的）increases in the online gift-buying population this time around.However，three-quarters of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2004．They worried about credit card security，or just compared online prices with off-line prices，then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals.“But even if shoppers don‟t buy online，websites are becoming promotion tools for stores，”said Dan Hess，vice president of Comscore Networks Inc．Hess said that actually most stores‟ websites can make customers fully believe the security of their credit card numbers. And most are able to ensure that gifts arrive on time.“It‟s all about making the shoppin g experience more efficient，more reliable and more comfortable，” Hess said.40．Which of the following statements is true?A．There were fewer women online shoppers than men in 2004．B．Most of the Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 are women.C．People in the US were more likely to buy gifts online.D．More women shopped online than men in 2004.41．From the passage we can infer that________.A．men usually decide how to spend money in the familyB．women usually decide what to buy in the familyC．the Internet is used in all the shops.D．more and more shops will sell their goods online.42．According to Dan Hess，shopping online___________.A．is unsafe B．is convenient C．is a waste of time D．is cheaper 43．What can we know from the passage?A．American people only buy gifts in holidays.B．Shopping online is fun for women.C．Shopping off-line provides better service.D．Young people like to do gift-shopping online.CA few days ago I asked my sons‟ governess（女家庭教师）Julia to come into my study. “Be seated, Julia, ”I said, “Let‟s settle our accounts. I guess you most likely need some money, but maybe you‟re too polite to mention it. Now then, we agreed on thirty dollars a month...”“Forty.”“No, thirty. I made a note of it. I always pay our governess thirty. Well, um, you‟ve been here two months, so...”“Two months and five days.”“Exactly two months. I made a special note of it. That means you have sixty dollars coming to you. Take off nine Sundays... you know yo u didn‟t work with Tom on Sundays, you only took walks. And three holidays... ”Julia was biting her finger nail nervously, her face red, but--- not a word.“Three holidays, therefore take off twelve dollars. Four days Tom was sick and there were no lessons, as you were occupied only with Dick. Three days you had a toothache and my wife gave you permission not to work after lunch. Twelve and seven - nineteen. Take nineteen off ... that leaves. hmm.... forty one dollars. Correct？”Julia‟s left eye reddene d with tears welling up. Her chin trembled; she coughed nervously and blew her nose, but --- still not a word.“Around New Year‟s Day you broke a teacup and a saucer; take off two dollars. The cup cost more, it was a treasure of the family, but--- forget it. When didn‟t I take a loss! Then, due to your neglect （疏忽）, Tom climbed a tree and tore his jacket; take away ten. Also due to your carelessness the maid stole Dick‟s shoes. You ought to watch everything! You get paid for it. So, that means five more dollars off. The tenth of January I gave ten dollars.”“You didn‟t. ”sobbed Julia.“But I made a note of it.”“Well... if you say so.”“Take twenty seven from forty one -that leaves fourteen.”Both her eyes were filled with tears. Beads of sweat stood on the thin pretty little nose. Poor girl!“Only once was I given any money,” she whispered, her voice trembling, “and that was by your wife. Three dollars, nothing more.”“Really? You see now, and I didn‟t know that! Take three from fourteen.. leaves el even. Here‟s your money, my dear. Three, three, three, one and one. Here it is !”I handed her eleven dollars. She took them and pocketed them.“Merci （法语: 谢谢）,”she whispered.I jumped to my feet and started pacing the room. I was overcome with anger. “For what, this …merci‟?” I asked.“For the money. ”“But you know I‟ve cheated you - robbed you ! I have actually stolen from you ! Why this…merci‟？”“In my other places they didn‟t give me anything at all.”“They didn‟t give you anything? No wonder! I played a little joke on you, a cruel lesson, just to teach you... I m going to give you all the eighty dollars! Here they are in the envelope all ready for you... Is it really possible to be so spineless （懦弱）?Why didn‟t you protest? Why were you silent? Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws（爪）---to be such a fool?”Embarrassed, she smiled. And I could read her expression,“It is possible.”I asked her pardon for the cruel lesson and, to her great surprise, gave her the eighty dollars. She murmured her little“merci”several times and went out. I looked after her and thought,“How easy it is to crush the weak in this world !”44．What shocked the writer was Julia‟s ________.A. nervousness in front of her bossB. acceptance of injusticeC. shyness when talking about moneyD. unwilling to express herself 45．The writer said, “Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws?” He was actually telling the governess ________.A. to be more aggressive(侵略的)B. to be more careful in her workC. to protect her rightD. to live independently46．At the end of the story, the writer said,“ How easy it is to crush the weak in this world!” to show ________.A. his understanding of Julia‟s anxietyB. his worry about Julia‟s futureC. his concern on the living condition of working - class peopleD. his sympathy for the mental state of the weak47．From the story, we can tell that Julia‟s employer was ________.A. greedy but honestB. ill - tempered but warm - heartedC. strict but forgivingD. none of the aboveDYou are about to say something to your younger brother when he gestures that he‟s got a phone message.“But I didn‟t hear the ring，”you say.“Because you are too old，”your brother answers.Don‟t get mad. He‟s just telling you the truth.Teenagers in Britain and the US have a weapon against the older generation，especially parents and teachers. It‟s a ring tone that many adults cannot hear.According to a recent report from the New York Times，in some Manhattan schools，students have begun using the technology. Cellphone use is usually forbidden in class. But using the high-pitched （频率）ring tone，students can successfully exchange phone messages without being found by their teachers.The technology relies on the fact that most adults gradually lose the ability to hear high-pitched sounds, It was developed in Britain but has recently spread to America by the Internet.However，the technology was originally aimed at annoying teenagers，not the other way around.Called the Mosquito，it was marketed last year by a Welsh security company. It is an ear-splitting 17-kilohertz buzzer （蜂鸣器）designed to help shopkeepers get rid of young people hanging around in front of their stores. Humans can hear sounds taking place in a frequency range between 200 and 20,000 hertz，as the research shows. But our hearing gradually becomes worse when we grow up.48．Students in some Manhattan schools have begun using the technology，so they can_________．A．talk in class without being heard by their teachersB．use cellphones to send messages in classC．hear better in class than their teachersD．improve their hearing ability49．The underlined phrase “the other way around” implies the ________.A．adults are annoyed nowB．teenagers are annoyed nowC．adults are not annoyed nowD．both adults and teenagers are annoyed now50．According to this passage，what will happen to a person when he is over twenty?A．He can hear sounds with frequencies between 200 and 20,000 hertz.B．He can hear sounds with a frequency of 17-kilohertz.C．He cannot hear sounds with frequencies between 200 and 20,000 hertz.D．He cannot hear sounds with a frequency of 17-kilohertz.51．It can be concluded from the passage that _________.A．older people hear no better than teenagersB．older people had better not use cellphonesC．teenagers hear better than old peopleD．teenagers had better not use cellphonesEIn 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple cameras. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his yard. That was the first photograph.The next important date in the history of photography was 1837. That year, Daguerre, another French, took a picture of his studio. He used a new kind of camera and a different process. In his pictures, you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest details. This kind of photograph was called a daguerreotype.Soon, other people began to use Daguerre‟s process. Travelers brought back daguerreotypes from all around the world. People photographed famous buildings, cities and mountains.In about 1840, the process was improved. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. The process was not simple. The photographers had to carry lots of films and processing equipment. But this did not stop the photographers, especially in the United States. After 1840s daguerreotype artists were popular in most cities.Mathew Brady was a well - known American photographer. He took many pictures of famous people. The pictures were unusual because they were very life - like and full of personality.Brady was also the first person to take pictures of war. His 1862 Civil War pictures showed dead soldiers and ruined cities. They made the war seem more real and more terrible.In the 1880s, new inventions began to change photography---Photographers could buy films ready-made in rolls（卷）. So they did not have to make the film themselves. Also, they did not have to process the film immediately. They could bring it back to their studios and develop it later meaning that they did not have to carry lotsof equipment. And finally, the invention of the small handheld camera made photography less expensive.With the small camera, anyone could be a photographer. People began to use cameras just for fun. They took pictures of their families, friends and favorite places. They called these pictures“ snapshot”.Photographs became very popular in newspapers in the 1890s. Soon magazines and books also used documentary photographs. These pictures showed true events and people. They were much more real than drawing.Photography also turned into a form of art by the end of the 19th century. Some photographs were not just copies of the real world. They showed ideas and feelings, like other art forms.52．The passage is mainly about ________.A. the invention of camerasB. a kind of new art - photographyC. the development of photographyD. the important dates in the history of photography53．The first pictures of a war were taken by________.A. a French photographer in the 1840sB. an American photographer in the 1860sC. a German reporter in the 1880sD. a French artist in the 1890s54．Photography can also be an art form because artists can ________.A. take anything they likeB. keep a record of real lifeC. take photos of the famousD. show ideas and feeling in pictures 55．According to the passage, which of the followings shows the correct order?a．Photographs became popular in newspapers.b．Photographers carried processing equipment while taking pictures.c．The invention of small handheld cameras made photography easier.d．Daguerre invented a kind of photograph called daguerreotype.e．Brady took pictures of famous people.A. e, a, d, b, cB. d, b, e, c, aC. b, e, c, a, dD. d, c, e, a, b第四部分：第一节：阅读表达No one on earth loves to visit a doctor, but no matter how much we hate to knock at the doctor‟s door, something always seems to take us right there.

Scientists thi nk that people make deserts. People are doing bad things to t he earth.Some places on the earth don't get much rain. But they still don't become deserts.

He took up a fly-swatter(苍蝇拍)and swung at it ,but the fly got away in time. Then the offen der(罪犯者)stayed on the table before him. Chaplin lifted the swatter fo r the death blow ——he was sure this time he would kill it.

Books, magazines, TV and radio and films all help us to communicate with others. They all help us to know what is going on in the world and what other people a re thinking about.Do you think you can communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your e yes tell others that you are sad. When you put up your hand i n class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask a question. You shake your head, and people know you are s aying “No”. You nod and people know you are saying “Yes”. Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus stop helps you to know which bus to take. A sign o n the wall of your school helps you to find the library. Signs on doors tell you where to go in or out. Have you ever noticed th at there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive me ssages from them all the time?People can communicate in many ways without words. For example, an artist can use his drawings to tell about beautiful mountains, about the sea and many other things.9. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Words can carry messages.B. TV can help people know the world better.C. Using radio is one of the ways to communicate.D. Words are the only way for man to communicate.Which of the following shows you are saying “No”?A.nod your head.B. shake your head.C. raise your hand.D.a smile on your face.11.

Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another at a c ertain time. They move for different reasons most of them mo ve to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded.When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer pla ces to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and mo ve to cold water to feed. The most famous migration（迁移）is probably the migration of fish, which is called “salmon”. This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt wat er. There it spends its life. When it is old, it returns to its birthp lace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies there. In north ern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leaves their mount ain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seasi de, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of l obster(龙虾). Every year, when the season of bad weather arrives, the l obsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor ofthe ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody kno ws where they go.So ,sometimes we know why humans and animals move fro m one place to another, but at other times we don’t. Maybe liv ing things just like to travel.16.Most animals move from one place to another at a certain t ime to ______.A. give birthB.find food more easilyC. enjoy warmer weatherD. find beautiful places17. Where does“salmon” spend its life? ______.A. salt waterB. landC. fresh waterD. its birthplace18. The mice in northern Europe move when ______.A. they give birthB. the weather becomes coldC. they haven’t enough foodD. the place gets too crowded19. The lobsters move _______.A. to the fresh waterB. to give birthC. when bad weather comesD. to find more food20. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Animals move in order to find food more easily.B. The migration of fish called “salmon” is the most famous migration.C. Living things move from one place to another because they like to travel.D. Sometimes we know why and how living things move from one place to another, but sometimes we don’t.第二节七选五：（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项.Some students wish that they could always see the smiles on their teachers’ faces. 21 Why do teachers seldom smile，especially in class?I believe all the people，including teachers，want to smile in their daily life.Teachers teach us from mornin g till evening every day，which is difficult.It is because of teachers’ hard work that we s tudents can know a lot about different fields.Nevertheless，some students do not study hard，which makes teachers unhappy. 22What is more，other students do not listen carefully in class.Instead，they sometimes talk，make faces，look outside or do some other things not related to their study.They do not work hard，and often make teachers angry.Can teachers smile in these c ases？Of course not. 23The first and most important thing is that you must put your heart and mind in your study.That means you should listen to your teachers carefully in class.Try your best to grasp what is taught in class.24 If you have any difficulty，you can turn to your teachers or classmates for help.Last but not least，try to talk with your teachers in your free time.Also，when your teachers are ill，they need your care.Some of your words may make them smil e.25A．However，instead of the smiling faces，they usually see the cold，even freezing faces of teachers. B．Second，go over what you have learned after class and finish your ho mework on time.C．Remember to smile at life however hard it is.D．As a result，teachers can’t wear smiles on their faces.E．Smile is of great importance to not only us but also our tea chers.F．If you can do as I tell you to，your teachers will then often smile.G．In my opinion，if you want to make teachers smile，you must do the following things.第二部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节：完形填空（共20题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

第二卷：非选择题第一卷：选择题：第一部分：阅读理解:（每小题2分，满分30分）第一节(共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分)AIf cars had wings（翅膀）, they could fly and that just might happen, beginning in 2011. The company Terrafugia, based in Woburn, Massachusetts, says it plans to deliver its car-plane, the Transition, so customers by the end of 2011.“It's the next‘wow’vehicle，”said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh.“Anybody can buy a Ferrari, but as we say, Ferraris don't fl y.”The car-plane has wings that unfold for flying－a process the company says takes one minute －and fold back up for driving. A runway is still required to take off and land.The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies, although it is both. The company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations, and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations.The company is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as a more convenient and cheaper way to fly. They say it saves you the trouble from trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports: You drive the car to the airport and then you're good to go. When you land, you fold up the wings and hit the road. There are no expensive parking fees because you don't have to store it at an airport－you park it in the garage at home.The car-plane is designed to fly primarily under 10,000 feet. It has a maximum takeoff weight of 1,430 pounds, including fuel and passengers. Terrafugia says the Transition reduces the potential for an accident by allowing pilots to drive under the bad weather instead of flying into marginal (临界的) conditions.The Transition's price tag：$ 194,000. But there may be additional charges for options like a radio, a transponder or a GPS. Another option is a full-plane parachute.“If you get into a very awful situation，it is the necessary safety option，”Gersh said.So far, the company has more than 70 orders with deposits.“We're workin g very closely with them, but there are still some remaining steps，”Brown said.1．We can learn from the first two paragraphs that ________.A．car-planes will be popular in 2011B．people might drive a car-plane in 2011C．both the Transition and Ferrari can take off and landD．Richard Gersh is the vice president of Massachusetts2．The underlined word“it”in the last but one paragraph refers to ________.A．the radio B．the transponderC．the GPS D．the full-plane parachute3．What's the best title for the passage?A．Cars with wings may be just around the cornerB．Which to choose：a Ferrari or a car-plane?C．A more convenient and cheaper way to flyD．Cars with wings can fly as fast as planesBWelcome to Pocono WhitewaterThere's something fun here at Pocono Whitewater for every level of adventurer!

Its first use was as a shade against the sun!Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese in the 11th century BC.We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was commonly used in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.During the Middle Ages, the use of umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late 16th century. And again it was considered as a symbol of power. By 1680, the umbrella appeared in France and later in England.By the 18th century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe.Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have becomemuch lighter in weight. It wasn't until the twentieth century that women's umbrellas began to be made, in a whole variety of colors.8．According to this passage, the umbrella was probably first invented in ancient ________.A. ChinaB. EgyptC. GreeceD. Rome9．Which of the following statements is NOT true about the umbrella?A. No one exactly knows who the inventor of the umbrella was.B. The umbrella was first invented to be used as protection against the sun.C. The umbrella changed much in style in the 18th century.D. In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade.10．A strange feature of the umbrellA s use is that it was used as ________.A. protection against rainB. a shade against the sunC. a symbol of honor and powerD. women's decoration (装饰)第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)__11__ If you use it often and in the right ways, you will become a more skilled thinker and your ability to focus will increase.

AEvery month, Julia and her cousins would go to visit their grandparents. They would be excited because their grandfather would give them a few coins. Then they would buy toys or sweets. The grandparents commented that, behaving like this, the children would never learn to manage their money. So they planned a special test, in which the children would have to show, over the course of a year, just what they could manage to get with those few coins.Some thought that they would save their money, but Ruben and Nico continued spending it all on sweets. So they give up saving.Monty decided to manage his money by exchanging it: buying and selling things, or betting (打赌) it with others. Soon he surprised the whole family. He had accumulated (积聚) lots of money. However, Monty was not very careful, and he got involved in more and more risky deals. A few months later he became penniless after a losing bet. Alex, had a will of iron. He saved the money and at the end of the year he had collected more money than anyone. Even better, with so much money, he managed to buy sweets at a reduced price, so that on the day of the competition he was presented with enough sweets for much more than a year. And even then, he still had enough left over for a toy. He was the clear winner, and other children learned the advantages of knowing how to save and how to wait.There was also Julia. Poor Julia didn’t enjoy the competition, because even though she had had a wonderful secret plan, she had spent her money without giving her plan enough time to work. However, she was so sure that her plan was a good one, that she decided to carry on with it, and maybe change the ex pressions on her relatives’faces, who had seemed to be saying “What a poor girl shel is. She couldn’t manage to save anything”.When she was about to complete the second year of her plan, Julia surprised everyone by turning up at the grandparents’ house with a violin and a lot of money. She did it rea lly well.21. Who saved nothing at the end of the first year?A. Ruben, Julia and AlexB. Ruben, Nico and MontyC. Ruben, Monty and JuliaD. Ruben, Nico and Alex22. Why did the grandparents plan a test on the children?A. Because they wanted the children to learn to spend money.B. Because they wanted the children to learn to save money.C. Because they wanted the children to learn to manage money.D. Because they didn’t want the children to buy toys and sweets any more.23. From Monty’s story, the children learned ______________________.A. to save and to wait.B. to buy and to sell thingsC. to set a achievable goal.D. to be careful and self-disciplined24. The underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph means ______________.A. Julia will bring disasters to herself and her family.B. Julia is not good at managing money.C. Julia is too stupid to do anything well.D. Julia has so many secrets that nobody likes her.BAs weather cools across the United States, a growing number of Americans visit farms. They harvest fruits, enjoy hay wagon rides and walk in the fields. These people are called “agri-tourists.” They improve the economy of rural areas and help farmers increase their profits.School children are walking in a corn field maze. The corn is cut into tricky passageways that make it difficult to find a way out. The children are from Yorktown Elementary School in Bowie Maryland. They have traveled to Montpelier Farms in Prince George’s Coun ty which is also in Maryland. The farm is about 40 kilometers from The White Hou se.Debbie Pierson is the student’s teacher.“We go on these kind of field trips so that the children will have a hands-on experience of what it’s like to be on a farm,” Piers on said.In Loudoun County Virginia, there are farms where grapes are grown for use in making wine. Many of the farms let people visit, and drink the wine that is made there. Bill Hatch owns the Zephaniah Farm Vineyard. H e holds wine tastings in his home. “We are doubling the number of visitors to our farm every year. We have an average of 250 people on a weekend,” Hatch said.As more people visit farms, more farmers are adding activities in which visitors can take part.Malcolm Baldwin owns WeatherLea Farm and Vineyard in Loudoun County. Six years ago, he began lettingpeople be married at his farm. They can also sleep at the farm overnight. Mr. Baldwin says the money he makes from these activities let him keep his small farm operating. “But without the an imals, and without the vines, the wedding business wouldn’t be as profitable (有利可图的), because people like to see the vines. They like to see the animals and without which I don’t think this will be a popular place,” Baldwin said.25. We can infer from the first paragraph that people always go for field trips in _______.A. SpringB. SummerC. AutumnD. Winter26. The underlined word “maze” in the passage is similar to “_______”.A. puzzleB. tripC. houseD. activity27. On Malcolm Baldwin’s farms, visitors can ________.A. taste the wine made in the USAB. raise and hunt animalsC. do wedding businessD. have fun as well as bring him moneyCIt was 8:35 am. My girls and I were rushing through the front door of the school as I yelled, “Hurry up! The bell was about to…” RIIIIIIIING! The girls froze and their eyes widened. My shoulders sagged(下垂). We were too late.We were often late for school last year, and every time we ran breathlessly into the attendance I heard myself making silly excuses to Beth, the long-suffering secretary: our alarm didn’t go off; there was so much traffic; it was my husband’s fault; the dog…I didn’t know-something about the dog!As time passed by, my lying became a habit, and it raised a red flag for me. Lying - even in the form of “harmless” excuses - means we’re ashamed. Shame is different from guilt. Healthy guilt is fair and helpful. But shame can be dangerous. Nothing ruins the connection between two people more quickly than shame and lies do. Anyone trying to live a healthy and honest life must avoid shame at any cost. I was trying to live a healthy and honest life, but my excuses were keeping me from reaching my goal. So I vowed（发誓）to do something different .The next time we were late, I went to the attendance office. When Beth asked me to fill in a form with the reason for being late, I told the truth. “These days, we are very tired and disorganized,” I wrote. Beth looked down at that form, and the slowly looked up at me. She gave us a warm and big smile and her blue eyes twinkled. She started laughing. So did my kids and I.We’re all imperfect human beings. We make mistakes. Everyone does make mistakes. However, it’s OK to tell the truth about them. It’s OK to forgive ourselves and promise to try again.28. By writing Paragraph1, the author wants to show that .A. her daughters were not easy to deal withB. she didn’t have an organized lifestyleC. her daughters didn’t like going to schoolD. she lived a lazy life with her daughters29. What do we know about the author from Paragraph2?A. She lived an extremely busy life.B. She li ked complaining about life.C. She liked making fun of other people.D. She liked making excuses for her lateness.30. We learn that as time went by, the author .A. found that other people liked lying to herB. realized the harm of lying and wanted to changeC. found that shame had a positive effect on her lifeD. realized that she could no longer live a healthy life31. The last paragraph shows when we make a mistake we should .A. blame it on different thingsB. never let others know it is our faultC. never forgive ourselves for making itD. forgive ourselves and try harder next timeDWouldn’t it be great if you could just look up at the sky and read the weather forecast right away? Well, you can. The forecast is written in clouds. If you can read that writing, you can tell something about the atmosphere. With some practice, you can become a pretty good weather forecaster. Who knows, you might even do as well as meteorologists（气象学家）.Meteorologists use much more information than just the appearance of the clouds to make their forecast. They collect data（数据）from all over the world. Then they put it into powerful, high speed computers. This does give the meteorologists an advantage, because they can track（追踪）weather patterns as they move from west to east across the country. But you have an advantage, too. You can look at the sky and get your data directly. A meteorologist uses a computer forecast that’s several hours old to make a local forecast.What are you seeing when you look at a cloud? “A picture of moisture(水汽)is doing in the atmosphere,” says meteorologist Peter Leavitt. There’s moisture throughout the atmosphere. Most of the time you don’t see it, because it’s in the form of an unseeable gas called water vapor. Sometimes, the temperature of the air gets cold enough to caus e the waster vapor to change to liquid water. It’s called condensation(凝结), and we see it happen all the time (for example, when humid air from the shower hits the cold glasses of a mirror). When enough water vapor condenses（冷凝）, droplets(小滴）come in the air. These droplets scatter(分散) light. A cloud is seen. Watching clouds over a day or two tells you a lot more than a single cloud about the weather to come. Changes in clouds show changes in the atmosphere. You should begin to notice patterns. Certain clouds, following eachother in order, can signal an approaching storm. But don’t take our word for it; see for yourself.32. According to the passage, an ordinary person might read the weather forecast as well as meteorologists_________.A. with some simple practice looking up at the skyB. with the help of the high-speed computersC. through complex (复杂的) instrumentsD. by visiting a weather station33. Meteorologists can make their weather forecast .A. by using information of the appearance of the clouds onlyB. by collecting data from parts of the worldC. by collecting and analyzing（分析）the dataD. by watching the sky34. According to the passage, your advantage in weather forecast is that .A. you have a high-speed computerB. you observe the sky and get your data directlyC. you have more instruments at homeD. you can track weather patterns as they move from west to east across the country35. This passage mainly tells us about how to .A. train ourselves as meteorologistsB. be an assistant to a meteorologistC. forecast the weather by ourselvesD. broadcast the weather forecast第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
