About twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a film-studio(影棚)to take part in a crowd-scene. Although our "act" would last only for a short time, we could see quite a number of interesting things.
We all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene, setting up trees at the edge of a winding path. Very soon, bright lights were turned on and the big movie-camera was wheeled into position. The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby.
Since it was hot in the studio, it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path. A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him, and soon the trees were covered in "snow". Two more fans were turned on, and a "strong wind" blew through the trees. The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold.
The next scene was a complete contrast (对比). The way it was filmed was quite unusual. Pictures in front taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen (幕). An actor and actress stood of the scene so that they looked trick like this, palm trees, sandy beaches, as if they were at the water's edge on an island. By a simple and blue, clear skies had been brought into the studio!
Since it was our turn next, we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us. For a full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film "stars"!

Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg，a distance of about eighty miles. It was late. Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving tuck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left, and I became increasingly impatient.
At one point along an open road, I came to a crossing with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I drove near the light, it turned red and I made a stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of car lamps, but there I sat, waiting for the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.
I started wondering why 1 refused to run the light I was not afraid of being caught, because there was clearly no policeman wound. and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.
Much later that night, the question of why I'd stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because it's part of a contract(契约)we all have with each other. It's not only the law, but it is an agreement we have, and we taut each other to honor it: we don't go through red lights.
Trust is our first inclination(倾向).Doubting others does not seem to be natural to us. The whole construction of our society depends on mutual(相互)trust, not distrust We do what we say we'll do; we show up when we say we'll show up; and we pay when we say we'll pay. We trust each other in these matters, and we're angry or disappointed with the person or organization that breaks the trust we have in them.
I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.
63. Why did the author get impatient while driving?
A. He was lonely on the road.
B. He was slowed down by a truck.
C. He got tired of driving too long.
D. He came across too many traffic lights.
64. What was the author's immediate action when the traffic light turned red?
A. Stopping still.
B. Driving through让
C. Looking around for other cars.
D. Checking out for traffic police.
65. The event made the author strongly believe that
A. traffic rules may be unnecessary
B. doubting others is human nature
C. patience is important to drivers
D. a society needs mutual trust
66. Why was the author proud of himself?
A He kept his promise. B. He held back his anger. C. He followed his inclination. D. He made a right decision.
D
Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced still swim as well as ever ever since. A man when he gets back who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star"。

remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
One explanation is the law ofoverlearninrf , which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials(尝试)increase the length of time we will remember it.
In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overleam.
The multinlicatinn tables(乘法口诀表)are an excention to the eeneral rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.
The law of overleaming explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination. though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he little overlearning. on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development.
67. Who is the main idea of paragraph I?
A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.
B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.
C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.
D. Stories for children arc easy to remember.
author explains the law of overleaming by_________.
A. presenting research findings
B. selling down general rules
C. making a comparison
D. using examples
69. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is_______.
A. a result of overlearning
B. a special case of cramming
C. a skill to deal with math problems
D. a basic step towards advanced studies
70. What does the word "they" in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Commonly accepted rules.
B. The multiplication tables.
C. Things easily forgotten.
D. School subjects.
71. What is the author's opinion on cramming?

第四部分写作(共两节.满分35分)
第一节短文改错(共1t;小魔:每小题1分.满分l0分)
(注意:在试题卷上作答无效)
此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。

对标有题号的每一行作出判断:如无错误.在该行右边板线上画一个勾(√):如有错误(每行只有一个错误)，则按下列情况改正：此行多一个词：把多余的词用斜线(\)划掉。

在该行右边横线上写出该词，并也用斜线划掉。

此行缺一个词:在缺词处加一个肠字符号(A)，在该行右边横线上写出该加的词。

此行错一个词:在错的词下划一横线，在该行右边横线上写出改正后的词。

短文改错：
76. a 去掉a make great efforts。

注解：考名词的单复数:(make a great effort 或者用make great efforts)
77. off错误。

off 改为dow。

注解：考词组辨析：cut off 切断，cut down 减少
78. to reducing to the use，去掉to。

注：Reduce为及物动词，后直接跟宾语，to多余。

79. √
80. anywhere错误。

anywhere 改为somewhere。

注解：考上下文逻辑关系。

节能从某个地方（即某个方面开始，而anywhere用于疑问句或否定句）
81. and错误。

and 改为or。

意为一两次
82. Other错误。

Other 改为Another。

注解：文中只谈到了两种方法，所以用another。

other和another的区别: other为形容词时，后面加复数名词，表示别的人或物。

作代词时只有用复数others（只指人不指物：别人）；
83. electric错误。

electric 改为electricity。

注解：考点：形容词/名词词性辨析；这里作为介词of的宾语，应用名词形式。

84. leave错误。

leave 改为left。

注解：我们往往会认为本行中when no one else was there中的was改成is其实不必，改成is固然对，但was既可指过去一次的动作又可指过去经常性的动作，也就是过去多少次房间里没人我们都开着灯或是电视，而本句中的leave不是离开而是“使...处于一种状态”。

Walk和leave的完成式为动作在过去影响在现在，when no one else was there (was在此处表达过去的经常性而非一次性），即过去若干次室内没人而从过去到现在很多次都发生过没关灯的事情。

而换用is语法正确，但没必要。

意思表达经常性室内没人而非仅过去没人的时候，都发生过若干次没关灯或关电视的事情。

85. on。

leave the lights or television on。

第二节完形填空(共20小.:每小分.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小涂黑。

According to Greek legend, in ancient Athens a man noticed the great storyteller Aesop playing childish games with some little boys. He 36 and made fun of Aesop, asking him why he wasted his time in such
37 games.
Aesop responded by 38 a bow, loosening its string, and placing it on the ground. Then he said to the critical man, “Now, 39 the riddle(迷), if you can. Tell us what the unstrung bow means.”
The man 40 at it for several minutes but had no idea about what 41 Aesop was trying to make. Aesop 42 ,“If you keep a bow always bent, it will break43 ; but if you let it go loose, it will be more 44 for use when you want it.”
So it is with us. Our minds and bodies are like the 45 .When often under the 46 of everyday life, we can finally 47 .We need to loosen up; we need time to 48 the pressure off and relax.
Former baseball pitcher(投球手) Dutch Leonard might have put it a little differently. He once said that the
49 of great pitching is not speed or the ability to throw curves(曲线球). It’s the “change of pace”. Even the
50 batter(击球手) will soon learn how to hit a pitcher who continually throws the same kind of pitch. But it’s
51 to hit a pitcher who changes the pace of pitching. That 52 of pace gives a pitcher an advantage over the other pitchers.
A change of pace also gives us a(n) 53 in life. Taking time to watch the clouds, enjoy a breeze, take a walk, read just slowdown is 54 if we are to be our best later. And a regular day of rest is as important as regular sleep. It’s a 55 of taking the pressure off.
To be your best, make sure you change your pace. It may just be the change you need.

A
A few years ago my sister moved from her home in Alabama to Buffalo, New York. Since moving to Buffalo she’s become a big hockey fan and has encouraged me to start watching it. Unfortunately it’s very difficult to find hockey on television here in Alabama. Since hockey games don’t air very much on television I’ve had to look for different ways to watch hockey games.
I often see websites that claim if you go to their website you can watch television on your computer. I try out many of these websites hoping that one of the television stations is a northern station that airs hockey games. Unfortunately, most of them don’t work. Either the site doesn’t really give you what they advertise or their video player doesn’t work properly. But finally I’ve found one websites that actually works.。
