The thing I wasn’t 32 of its value was the terrorist attack on September 11.I hear older people 33 about the attack on Pearl Harbor and the Kennedy’s being murdered and how greatly those events 34 them in their lives. For my 35 , the tragedy of September 11 can be 36 with that of Pearl Harbor. We will be talking about the terrible effect 37 our country, and our lives as the single human being, for years to come.It wasn’t until a few weeks 38 September 11 that I began to see that perhaps something good did come from this tragedy. People seem 39 now, more understanding, more friendly. Little things that seemed to be such a bother before are no longer a 40 deal. Personally, I am more patient than I was. I realize life is too short and 41 , to let myself get upset over unimportant things. Life is also too short to carry complaints and 42 I’ve become more forgiving and understanding. I’ve also learned that you can’t take things for granted. You know how we always say “43 you later”. One thing I’ve realized from September 11 is that you can’t ever say that for sure. 44 change in the blink （眨眼）of an eye. People go to 45 and don’t come back. One minute they are living and the 46 minute they are not. And, it doesn’t 47 who you are because there is nothing you can do about it. We 48 know when our time here will be over, so we all need to make 49 of every minute we have.You try to learn from what happened. You can’t live by it. All you can do is just 50 . 31．A．grasp B．catch C．bring D．take32．A．sure B．fond C．satisfied D．believed 33．A．think B．know C．talk D．learn 34．A．affected B．taught C．disappointed D．improved 35．A．opinion B．people C．generation D．children 36．A．connected B．followed C．compared D．mixed37．A．in B．on C．for D．to38．A．after B．before C．when D．that 39．A．happy B．sad C．funny D．different 40．A．little B．big C．small D．right 41．A．terrible B．hard C．precious D．hopeless 42．A．then B．therefore C．yet D．however 43．A．See B．Call C．Meet D．Visit 44．A．Demands B．Things C．Buildings D．People 45．A．cities B．factories C．work D．hospitals 46．A．other B．another C．next D．last 47．A．matter B．trouble C．mean D．realize 48．A．always B．ever C．possibly D．never 49．A．most B．use C．effort D．sense 50．A．study B．work C．live D．playIII．阅读理解（共20题, 满分40分）（A）The small number of newborn babies, which has been caused by high prices and thechanging social situation of women, is one of the most serious problems in Asia. When people talk about it, you can hear a word DIKS invented in Japan, which means Double Income Kids（小孩）.In many major Asian cities like Seoul, Singapore, and Tokyo, the cost of living is extremely high. A young couple who want to buy their own house may have to pay about $3000,000 （though prices have fallen）. For a flat with one bedroom, one dining-room, a kitchen, and a bathroom, the couple will pay about $900 a month. What’s more, if they want to have a child, the child’s education is very expensive. For example, most kindergarten charges are at least $5,000 a year. In such a situation, it’s difficult to afford children.The number of married women who want to continue working is increasing because they enjoy their jobs. However, if they want to have children, they immediately have serious problems. Though most companies allow women to leave their jobs for a short time to have a baby, they expect women with babies to give up their jobs. In short, if they want to bring up children properly, both parents have to work, but it is hard for mothers to work. Indeed, women who want to continue working have to choose between having children or keeping their jobs.In a word, Asian governments must take steps to improve the present situation as soon as possible.51．What is the main problem being discussed in the passage?A．The small number of newborn babies.B．The changing social situation of women.C．The high prices of houses and education.D．The necessary steps of Asian government.52．According to the passage, which of the following is True?A．It is easy for a couple to afford a child in Asia.B．The prices of living in Asia are quite low now.C．Fewer and fewer married women want to have a job.D．The word “DINKS” originated from an Asian country.53．To buy a flat and send a child to kindergarten, how much will a couple pay each year?A．85,000 B．85,900 C．$10.800 D．$15.80054．The author seems to believe that Asian governments should ________.A．let women stay at home and do houseworkB．allow one of the parents to go out to workC．care for the growing needs of women for job.D．reward the companies that permit women to leave.（B）When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate（照亮）me and train me up for love. It is for these people that I reserve（保留）the glowing hours, too good not to share.When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down withpencils and paper, and one of us would say: “Let’s start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend. He was in despair（失望）and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.For almost four years I have had a remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think: “Yes, I m ust tell….”We have never met.It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist（心理学家），who will only fill up the healing（愈合的）silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.55．In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior was to ______.A．become curious about her studyB．go to her friend’s house regularlyC．learn from her classmates at schoolD．share poems and stories with her friend56．In Paragraph 3, “We gave London to each other” probably means ______.A．our exploration of London was a memorable gift to both of usB．we were unwilling to tear ourselves away from LondonC．our unpleasant feeling about London disappearedD．we parted with each other because of London57．In the darkest moments, the author would prefer to ______.A．seek professional help B．be left aloneC．stay with her best friend D．break the silence58．What is the best title for the passage?A．Unforgettable Experiences B．Remarkable ImaginationC．Lifelong Friendship D．Noble Companions（ C ）As you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen, a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. You almost certainly own a car and possible a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long-hours work culture to make more money to buy more things iseating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them.Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year. One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs, leaving their two children with a nanny （保姆）. Most evenings Daniel wouldn’t get home until 8 or 9 o’clock and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meeting. They both earned a large sum of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. “I always wanted to have a farm then,” says Daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. It’s taken some getting used to, but it’s been worth it. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think it’s made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.”Liz, however, is not quite sure. “I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. I’m not really a country girl, but I suppose I’m gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.59．What do the first two paragraphs tell us?A．People seldom work long hours to make money.B．People hardly buy more things than necessary．C．People are sure everything they own is in the right place．D．People realize there is more to life than just making money．60．When Daniel was a reporter he _____________．A．lived in central London B．disliked his jobC．missed his children D．was well paid61．What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to ?A．Child-caring. B．Liz’s advice.C．Downshifting D．Liz’s job62．The underlined word “downshifting” in the second paragraph means ___________．A．repairing your car by yourselfB．spending money carefullyC．moving out to the countryside to live a simpler and better lifeD．living in a big house in the suburbs and dining out once a week（D）Reading to oneself is a modern activity, which was almost unknown to the learned in the early days of the history, while during the fifteenth century the term “reading”undoubtedly mean reading aloud. Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become popular.One should be careful, however, of supporting that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud is distraction （娱乐）to others. Examination of reasons connected with the historical development of silent reading shows that it became the usual mode of reading for most adult reading tasks mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character.The last century saw a gradual increase in literacy（读写能力）and thus in the number ofreaders. As readers increased, so the numbers of listeners dropped, and thus there was some reduction in the need to read aloud. As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the popularity of reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, trains and offices, where reading aloud would disturb other readers in a way.Towards the end of the century there was still heated argument over whether books should be used for information or treated respectfully, and over whether the reading of material such as newspapers was in some way mentally weakening. Indeed this argument remains with us still in education. However, whatever its advantages, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media on the one hand and by books and magazines for a specialized readership on the other.By the end of the century students were being advised to have some new ideas of books and to use skills in reading them which were not proper, if not impossible, for the oral reader. The social, cultural, and technological developments in the century had greatly changed what the term “reading” referred to.63．Why was reading aloud common before the nineteenth century?A．Because silent reading had not been discovered.B．Because there were few places for private reading.C．Because few people could read for themselves.D．Because people depended on reading for a living.64．The development of silent reading during the nineteenth century showed ____________ A．a change in the position of literate peopleB．a change in the nature of readingC．an increase in the number of booksD．an increase in the average age of readers65．Educationalists are still arguing about_____________A．the importance of silent readingB．the amount of information provided by books and newspapersC．the effects of reading on people’s healthD．the value of different types of reading material66．What is the writer of the text attempting to do?A．To explain how present day reading habits developedB．To change people’s way to readC．To show how reading methods have improvedD．To encourage the growth of reading aloud（ E ）Over the last century, American scientists have tried to find ways to measure intelligence. Testing a person’s IQ has been one of the most widely used means to decide his future success. It was believed that people were simply born smart or stupid and there was nothing they could do about it. Based on Terman’s test to measure IQ, the men serving in the U.S. military during World WarⅠwere given duties according to their tested intelligence.However, recently it is claimed that besides IQ, Emotional（情感的）Intelligence ---the ability to control our emotions and actions --- is also very important for one’s future success. Many scientists believe that in a sense we have two brains, two minds and two different kinds of intelligence: rational（理智的）and emotional. How well we do in life is determined by both IQand EQ. Therefore learning to rule our spirit, that is, control our thoughts and feelings, is a form of intelligence that can be developed.Scientists have discovered that emotionally intelligent people have a number of skills to deal with the ups and downs that may happen in everyone’s life. Such people know their feeling very well and are able to control their feelings as needed. Relationship skills and dealing with anger are two areas where emotional intelligence can always play an important role. People possessing this type of intelligence are able to sense the feelings of others around them and influence others in good ways. In dealing with anger, these same people have learned how to persuade themselves to stay calm. They do not necessarily forget about the unpleasant thing. They may clearly explain their dissatisfaction, but they do so without losing control.67．The author mentions the men serving in the U.S．army during World WarⅠin order to show that________________________.A．these people had high intelligence than others.B．scientists had tried many ways to measure intelligence before World WarⅠC．people used to use IQ tests to determine a person’s future performanceD．different duties required different types of intelligence.68．It can be inferred from the text that emotional intelligence ____________.A．is more important than IQB．is less important than IQC．in determined when we are born and can not be changed.D．can be developed through learning.69．People with high emotional intelligence are able to __________________.A．control the feelings of other peopleB．stay calm when they are angryC．forget annoying things easilyD．bear unpleasant matters without saying anything70 What is the best title for this text?A．How to Control Your angerB．Emotional IntelligenceC．IQ TestD．How Emotional Intelligence Affects Your Future SuccessIV．短文改错（满分10 分）A very strict officer was talking to some new soldiers 71．________who he had to train．He had never seen them before, so he 72．________ began, “My name is Stone, but I am more harder than stone, 73．________so do what I tell you, or there’ll be trouble.
