III.完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，共30分)
At a gathering, we were all telling stories of our most embarrassing moments. It came around to Frank.
Frank began to tell us of his childhood. "I 36 in San Pedro. My Dad was a fisherman, and he loved the sea. He had his own boat, but it was 37 making a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to 38 the family."
He looked at us and said, "I 39 you could have met my Dad. He was a big man, and he was strong from pulling the nets and fighting the seas for his 40 . When you got close to him,
he 41 like the ocean. He would wear his old coat and his overalls. No matter how much my mother 42 them, they would still smell of the sea and of fish."
Frank's voice dropped a bit. "When the weather was bad he would 43 me to school. He had this old truck that was older than he was. 44 he would drive toward the school, I would shrink down into the seat hoping to disappear. He would 45 right in front of the school gate, and it seemed like everybody 46 be standing around and watching. Then he would 47 over and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. It was so 48 for me. I was twelve years old, and my Dad would lean over and kiss me goodbye!"
He 49 and then went on, "I remember the day when I said 'No' ”
It was the first time I had ever talked to him that 50 , and he had this surprised look on his face.
I said, 'Dad, I'm too 51 for a goodbye kiss. '
My Dad looked at me for the longest time, and his eyes started to tear up. I had never seen him 52 . He turned and looked out the windshield(挡风玻璃). 'You're right,' he said. 'You are a big boy....a man. I won't kiss you anymore.'”
Frank got a sad look on his face, and the tears began to 53 in his eyes, as he spoke. "It wasn't long after that when my Dad went to sea and never came back.”
Tears were running down Frank’s chee ks. He spoke again. "Guys, you don't know what I would 54 to have my Dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek....to feel his rough old face....to smell the ocean on him....to feel his arm around my neck. I wish I had been a man then. If I had been a 55 , I would never have told my Dad I was too old for a goodbye kiss."

IV阅读理解：40分(共20小题；每小题2分，共40分)
A
I was born in Minneapolis. The city is in my blood. But I live in the country, and have been forced to deal with things that are difficult. One thing I’ve always had trouble with is birds. How could anyone enjoy staring out of the window for hours at these creatures? My mother had always been one of those ridiculous birdwatcher types. She tried to raise her children to have respect for wildlife, but with little effect on me.
One evening, a bird had been sitting on the same perch (栖息处), as if frozen, for ten minutes. My mother got a ladder and took the bird from his perch. She inspected him. It seemed that his tongue was hurt, and that he was unable to drink from the feeder. My mother handed him to me while she went inside for an eyedropper (点眼药器).
Never in my life had I felt as frightened as when I was holding that tiny life in my hands. I placed the eyedropper inside the long beak. At first, the bird only trembled, but finally he managed to swallow. After a few minutes, he glided (滑翔) to a tree nearby and returned again.
He fl ew to the tree and then back to me again and again. It didn’t take me long to realize that he was sending me a message, a sort of “SOS”.
I walked toward the tree, where I found the tiny creature trembling in the evening air. I slowly reached into the grass to pick up the bird. “Please, be okay.” He had asked me for help. Now he owed me a favor in return and I was asking him to stay alive.
However, what I saw was another dead bird lying beside the bird. It must have been a very sad picture: a child wiping her face with her one free hand, while the other palm was cupped around a tiny, dying creature. Fate was taking its own course. Its pulse was hardly noticeable, and the body was growing colder.
I realized there were some things I could change and some I must simply accept. In either way, the two worlds sometimes collide (碰撞) and strangers must ask for, and be willing to receive, help from others. Without this, survival is not only impossible, but meaningless.
56. From the first paragraph, we can infer that the author .
A. often stares at birds through the window
B. isn’t accustomed to living in the country
C. was forced to feed birds by her mother
D. finds respect for wildlife ridiculous
57. Why did the bird fly to the author again and again?
A. To thank her for saving him.
B. To look for food to feed the dying bird.
C. To warn her of danger.
D. To ask for help for the dying bird.
58. By saying “Fate was taking its own course” in the fifth paragraph the author means .
A. the bird had no chance to survive
B. the fate of the bird was at her mercy
C. it is natural for birds to die
D. the fate of birds cannot be changed
59. What did the author learn from her experience?
A. Offering help brings happiness.
B. People should help others even strangers.
C. People cannot accept what they cannot change.
D. The human world is different from the animal world.

The Couch Surfing network is an online community stretching across the globe with over one and a half million members. The basic concept is to provide a platform for travelers to contact people who are willing to put them up free of charge. Travelers connect with potential hosts online and, if they like each other, exchange details to make farther arrangements.
Basil is one traveler from Switzerland who is currently couch surfing with a Chinese host in Beijing. "I thought staying in hostel is nice but you mostly meet foreigners and speak English. If you use Couch Surfing you have chance to meet people living here and really get a chance to know the life of the place you visit. " Basil was speaking during a regular meeting of Beijing network of Couch Surfing with a membership of almost 2,000.
Although some people may have concerns about meeting complete strangers and giving them full access to your house, Beijing group member Fred Sharp from California says that the Couch Surfing community is one that generally attracts trustworthy people.
"I have never had a problem with guests. I'd say that this Couch Surfing community worldwide is a fairly trustworthy community l ike I say, always be cautious, make sure that you read everyone's profile that you're considering hosting, and if it doesn't feel right just say' no', it's ok. "
Originally launched in the US as a non-profit organization in 2004, Couch Surfing is growing fast across the world. China is no exception with around 30,000 members and hundreds more signing up each week. One of them is Beijing resident Hai Yan who joined in November 2009. She says the first time she hosted a guest was a very positive experience. "My first guest was from Italy. He was very kind and helpful. He bought me a present from Italy, a handbag. It's a famous brand!"
As the organization grows from strength to strength, hotel owners across the world will be watching very closely and possibly thinking twice about raising their prices too high.

Even a small reduction in salt in the diet can be a big help to the heart. A new study used a computer model to predict how just three grams less a day would affect heart disease in the United States.
The result: 10% fewer heart attacks, 8% fewer strokes, 4% fewer deaths, 11% fewer new cases of heart disease, and 240 billion dollars in health care savings.
Researchers found it could prevent 100,000 heart attacks and 92,000 deaths every year.
The study is in the New England Journal of Medicine. Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo at the University of California, San Francisco was the lead author. She says people would not even notice a difference in taste with three grams, or one half teaspoon, less salt per day. The team also included researchers at Stanford and Columbia University.
Each gram of salt contains four hundred milligrams of sodium（钠）, which is how foods may list their salt content.
The government says the average American man eats ten grams of salt a day. The American
Heart Association advises no more than three grams for healthy people. It says salt in the American diet has increased fifty percent since the 1970s, while blood pressures have also rise. Less salt can mean a lower blood pressure.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is leading effort called the National Salt Reduction Initiative. The idea is to put pressure on food companies and restaurants. Critics call it government interference.
Mayor Bloomberg has already succeeded in other areas, like requiring fast food places in the city to list calorie information. Now a study by the Seattle Children’s Research Institute show s that the calorie information on the menu can influence what parents order for their children.
67. According to the passage, what disease is NOT related to salt in diet?
A. Cancer.
B. Stroke.
C. Blood pressure.
D. Heart attack.
68. It can be inferred from the passage that________.
A. all the heart diseases result from eating too much salt
B. the American Heart association suggest less than 3 grams of salt a day for everyone
C. how much salt is contained in certain food is measured by the amount of sodium
D. the less salt one eats, the healthier he will be
69. The National Salt Reduction Initiative aims to________.
A. attract the public attention to the problem
B. require fast food places to list salt information
C. inform people of the harm that salt does to health
D. put pressure on food companies and restaurants
70. The last paragraph mainly tells us________.
A. Bloomberg has made some other efforts to improve people’s health
B. Bloomberg is very successful in his career
C. parents must pay great attention to calorie information
D. a new study is being done about calorie information
E
The bedroom door opened and a light went on, signaling an end to nap time. The toddler（初学走路的婴儿）, sleepy-eyed, clambered to a swinging stand in his crib. He smiled, reached out to his father, and uttered what is fast becoming the cry of his generation: "iPhone!"
Just as adults have a hard time putting down their iPhones, so the device is now the Toy of Choice for many 1-, 2- and 3-year-olds. The phenomenon is attracting the attention and concern of some childhood development specialists.
Natasha Sykes, a mother of two in Atlanta, remembers the first time her daughter, Kelsey, now 3 but then barely 2 years old, held her husband's iPhone. "She pressed the button and it lit up.
I just remember her eyes. It was like 'Whoa!' "The parents were charmed by their daughter's fascination. But then, said Ms. Sykes （herself a Black Berry user）, "She got serious about the phone. " Kelsey would ask for it. Then she'd cry for it. "It was like she'd always want the phone," Ms. Sykes said.
Apple, the iPhone's designer and manufacturer, has built its success on machines so user-friendly that even technologically blinded adults can figure out how to work them, so it makes sense that sophisticated children would follow. Tap a picture on the screen and something happens. What could be more fun?
The sleepy-eyed toddler who called for the iPhone is one of hundreds of iPhone-loving
toddlers whose parents are often proud of their offspring's ability to slide fat fingers across the gadget's screen and pull up photographs of their choice.
Many iPhone apps on the market are aimed directly at preschoolers, many of them labeled "educational," such as Toddler Teasers: Shapes, which asks the child to tap a circle or square or triangle; and Pocket Zoo, which streams live video of animals at zoos around the world.
Along with fears about dropping and damage, however, many parents sharing iPhones with their young ones feel guilty. They wonder whether it is indeed an educational tool, or a passive amusement like television. The American Academy of Pediatrics is continually reassessing its guidelines to address new forms of "screen time. " Dr. Gwenn Schurgin O'Keeffe, a member of the academy's council, said, "We always try to throw in the latest technology, but the cellphone industry is becoming so complex that we always come back to the table and wonder--Should we have a specific guideline for them?"
Tovah P. Klein, the director of a research center for Toddler Development worries that fixation on the iPhone screen every time a child is out with parents will limit the child's ability to experience the wider world.
As with TV in earlier generations, the world is increasingly divided into those parents who do allow iPhone use and those who don't. A recent post on , asked if anyone had found that their child was more interested in playing with their iPhone than with real toys. The Don't mothers said on the Website: "We don't let our toddler touch our iPhones ... it takes away from creative play." "Please ... just say no. It is not too hard to distract a toddler with, say ... a book."
Kathy Hirsh-Pasek, a psychology professor who specializes in early language development, sides with the Don'ts. Research shows that children learn best through activities that help them adapt to the particular situation at hand and interacting with a screen doesn't qualify, she said.
Still, Dr. Hirsh-Pasek, struck on a recent visit to New York City by how many parents were handing over their iPhones to their little children in the subway, said she understands the impulse (冲动). "This is a magical phone," she said. "I must admit I'm addicted to this phone."
71. The first paragraph in the passage intends to ______.
A. get us to know a cute sleepy-eyed child in a family
B. show us how harmful the iPhone is
C. lead us to the topic of the toddlers' iPhone-addict
D. explain how iPhone appeals to toddlers
72. According to the author, iPhones are popular with both adults and young kids because they are______.
A. easy to use
B. beautiful in appearance
C. cheap in price
D. powerful in battery volume
73. The underlined word "them" in the seventh paragraph refers to ______.
A. televisions
B. cellphones
C. iPhones
D. screens
74. The tone of the author towards parents sharing iPhones with their children is ____.
A. negative
B. subjective
C. objective
D. supportive
75. The passage mainly tells us ______.
A. children's iPhone addict is becoming a concern
B. iPhone is winning the hearts of the toddlers
C. Apple is developing more user-friendly products
D. ways to avoid children's being addicted to iPhone games

VI. Writing sample:
Advertisements appear everywhere in modern society. Every day we pass by advertisements on buses and billboards, in shop windows and on public notice boards. At home, we see advertisements in magazines and newspapers and in the middle of our favorite television programmes. Even some of the casual garments we wear have brand names attached to them which turn us into walking advertisements. With so many messages from advertisers filling our daily lives, it is important to understand how advertisements work. Then we can avoid being treated by them.
In order to attract more customers, advertisers will use every possible means in producing their advertisements. For example, to advertise a certain food, advertisers will employ an actor to sit at a table and eat up their seemingly delicious food product while they film him.
Although advertisements enable us to make decisions quickly, sometimes they can cause lots of trouble. We are flooded with different kinds of advertisements and they make us forget what we really need. Therefore, we should raise our awareness to be careful about various kinds of advertisements before making decisions.
