第二部分：阅读理解（共两2节，满分40分）
第一节：（共13小题，每小题2分，满分26分）

A
Once upon a time in a land far away, there was a wonderful old man who loved everything：animals, spiders, insects．．．
One day while walking through the woods, the nice old man found a cocoon（茧）of a butterfly．He took it home．A few days later, a small opening appeared; he sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole．Then it seemed to stop making any progress．It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no farther．Then the man decided to help the butterfly, so he took a pair of scissors and cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon．
The butterfly then appeared easily．
But it had a swollen body and small, fragile wings．The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would be smaller in time．Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling （慢慢爬行）around with a swollen body and fragile wings．It never was able to fly．
What the man in his kindness and hurry did not understand was that the limited cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were Nature's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon．
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life．If we were allowed to go through
our life without any obstacles and difficulties, it would disable us．We would not be as strong as what we could have been．And we could never fly．
50．The butterfly could never fly because ________．
A．it was too fat and strong．
B．it loved crawling around．
C．it got out of the cocoon easily．
D．it didn’t get through the cocoon ．
51．The text is most likely to be found in a book about__________．
A．popular science B．humorous stories．
C．successful people D．philosophy events
52．What is the implied meaning of the passage?
A．Life without any obstacles and difficulties is perfect．
B．Obstacles and difficulties contribute to success．
C．Never help a butterfly to get out of the cocoon．
D．A butterfly can never fly without going through the cocoon．
B

E．Preparations for an advertisement

63．__________________
Advertising is a highly developed twentieth-century industry．The development of radio, television, cinema, magazines and newspapers has gone hand in hand with the development of advertising．Why is advertising so popular? Is it a waste of money? It has been proved again and again that repeated advertising increases product sales．Since it increases production, the price can be reduced．Therefore advertising, instead of making a product more expensive, makes it cheaper．64．______________________
What can you advertise ? You can advertise products of all kinds, such as shoes or umbrellas, or services like car repairs and travel．In Europe and USA political leaders often use recorded TV advertisements to persuade people to vote for them．Besides broadcast advertisements on radio and TV, there are other ways to advertise : cinemas, magazines and newspapers, for example．Large boards can be used for printed posters, especially near main roads．A sign outside or inside a shop is a form of advertising．Balloons and light aeroplanes can be used to pull huge signs as they fly slowly over a city．
65．________________
Advertising is now a scientific business．Once managers would say jokingly, " I know that half of what I spend on advertising is wasted, but I don't know which half．" Now, all parts of an advertising programme are properly measured and researched．
66．_________________
How are advertisements made? A company goes to an advertising firm to discuss the advertising of its product．The firm collects as much information as possible about product and the consumers who might buy it．The person at the advertising firm in charge of the matter then holds a meeting．Also present will be a person who thinks up an idea for an advertisement, and a person who will buy space in the newspapers or time on TV．There will be a writer writing the text for the advertisement and a designer who will design it, using pictures or photographs or the text．67．_____________________
When the advertisement is ready, it is shown to the company．If the company agrees, they may try it out in a small part of the country to see if product sales increases as a result of the advertisement．If they do, then it will be used throughout the country．If the advertisement fails, the whole program will be reviewed．Researchers will go out and interview possibles customers to find out the reasons for this failure．

短文改错
第一句中的concerning改为concerned，考察词组be concerned about sb．/sth．关心、挂念某人/某事；health改为healthy，因为keep为连系动词，后面要跟形容词。

第二句中any改为some，any一般用于疑问句或否定句中，在肯定句中意为“任何”。

第三句中get改为getting，在句中作宾语从句的主语；fast改为faster，与harder保持一致。

第四句中改为vegetables，这是可数名词
第五句中as改为like，as作介词用意为“作为，当……时候”，like作介词用意为“像，比如，诸如……之类”；important前加an，因为way是可数名词。

第六句中injures改为injure，smoking and alcohol drinking为并列主语，动词要用复数。

第七句中great改为greatly，修饰动词improve要使用副词。

书面表达
Everybody needs friends．A good personal relationship is especially important with the development of modern society, so how to make true friends is very important to anybody．To make friends, you must be friendly to others．A smile is like a magnet that draws people．Smile at others and you are always sure to get a mile in return．You should do your best to make a stranger feel at home, no matter where he happers to be．Think as you are in his position and make him feel welcome．And don’t Judge a stranger only by his appearance．Try to remember others’ names, which will make them feel that they have made an impression on you．
If you don’t agree with others on certain matter, don’t argue but discuss with them．
You should think more of others than of yourselves．
Finally, don’t believe those who leave their friends when they are in trouble, because, as the saying goes, “A friend in need is a friend indeed．”。
