一、阅读选择
The first day our professor challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t know. I looked around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady smiling at me.
She said, “Hi, handsome. My name is Rose. I’m 87. Can I give you a hug?” I laughed, “Of course you may!” and she gave me a giant squeeze.
“__________________________________________________________________________ _____________________I want to realize my dream!” she told me. Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and everyone liked to listen to this “time machine”.
At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet and I’ll never forget what she taught us. “There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are 19 and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one productive thing, you will turn 20. If I am 87 and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn 88. We have less time to live on. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change. The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for t hings we did not do.”
At the year’s end, Rose finished the college degree she had dreamed about all those years. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over 2,000 students attended her funeral honoring the wonderful woman who taught us such an important message. 1．Rose was considered a “time machine” because she _____.

B．growing up means one has more chances or time to choose what one likes
C．there is no need for one to worry about death

A．it is not polite to talk about a person’s real age in public
B．going to college at a very old age is looked down upon

Settled by the Celts, invaded by the Romans and the Normans, and ruled by the English, Wales’ population has regularly changed over the ages. Wales, particularly South Wales, became a melting pot of European nationalities and cultures. At first workers from England, Ireland and the rural areas of Wales rushed into the coalfields of South Wales. By 1911, workers from Ireland, Italy and Spain had joined the industrial workforce there. Many of these newcomers were prepared to work for less pay.
But during this period, workers, dissatisfied with regular pay cuts, poor safety, the growing trend of employers to pay workers with tokens (代币), which could only be spent in the company store, returned to the land. In 1891, the rural population of Wales was about 616,000 and by 1911 just over 649,000 people lived and worked in these areas.
The rural population continues to grow slowly even today. People from richer parts of the UK, particularly southern England, are buying holiday or retirement homes in Wales. In some areas this has led to a shortage of affordable housing for local people. This, combined with the lack of employment prospects in rural Welsh communities, has started a new movement
of people in search of jobs and homes into the towns and cities of Wales and to other parts of the UK and Europe.
As so many Welsh people have migrated to other countries over the last 200 years, it’s really no surprise that many visitors come to see friends and relatives — there were 229,000 visitors in 1998. These visitors strengthen their links to their land of origin and continue to support the Welsh economy. During the hot summer days, about 28% of the visitors visit the countryside and nearly 70% visit the seaside.
8．Why was South Wales so attractive to people in the early 20th century?
A．Because its coal industry needed a large number of workers
B．Because people could get the highest pay there.
C．Because it was rich in many different kinds of culture
D．Because people could buy holiday or retirement homes there.
9．From the last paragraph, we learn that most visitors come to Wales for the purpose of
_____.
A．visiting their friends and relatives
B．supporting the Welsh economy
C．enjoying a cool and pleasant summer
D．all of the above
10．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Wales, a land with a population on the move
B．Wales, a land with a promising past and future.
C．Wales, the biggest melting pot of Europe.
D．Tourism, the main economic source of Wales
11．What does the writer want to tell us in the second paragraph?
A．Welsh workers couldn’t get any pay for their work.
B．The working conditions were terrible at this time.
C．Many people got tired of city life at this time.
D．The rural population of Wales didn’t decline at this time
Some people are lucky enough to be born with a good sense of direction and even if they have only visited a place once, they will be able to find it again years later.
I am one of those unfortunate people who have poor sense of direction and I may have visited
a place time after time but I still get lost on my way there. When I was young I was so shy that I never dared ask complete strangers the way and so I used to wander round in circles and hope that by some chance I would get to the spot I was heading for.
I am no longer too shy to ask people for direction, but I often receive replies that puzzle me. Often people do not like to admit that they didn’t know their hometown and will insist on telling you the way, even if they do not know it; others, who are anxious to prove that they know their hometown very well, will give you a long list of directions which you can not possibly hope to remember, and still others do not seem to be able to tell between their left and their right and you find in the end that you are going in the opposite direction to that in which you should be going.
If anyone ever asks me the way to somewhere, I always tell them I am a stranger to the town
in order to avoid giving them wrong direction but even this can have embarrassing results. Once I was on my way to work when I was stopped by a man who asked me if I would direct him the way to the Sunlight Building. I gave my usual reply, but I had not walked on a few steps when I realized that he had asked for directions to my office building. However, at this point, I decide it was too late to turn back and search for him out of the crowd behind me as I was going to meet with someone at the office and I did not want to keep him waiting. Imagine my embarrassment when my secretary showed in the very man who had asked for directions of my office and his astonishment when he recognized me as the person he had asked.
12．Who showed the right way to the interviewee according to the passage?
A．A warm-hearted old lady did such a thing
B．The writer did it for himself.
C．The secretary did so.
D．Someone we don’t know.
13．Why did the writer consider himself to be an unlucky dog?
A．Because he always forget the way to home
B．Because of his poor sense of direction
C．Because he did not have any friend.
D．Because he used to be shy and dared not ask others the way.
14．How did the visitor feel when he was showed into the very room?
A．He felt astonished B．He felt embarrassed.
C．He felt very sad. D．He felt strange
15．What is the writer going to do when someone asks him for direction?
A．He will direct the right way to the person willingly.
B．He will give the very person long list of direction
C．He will reply to it by the means of being a stranger to the town
D．He is going to show the man an opposite direction.

试题分析：本文是一封信，讲述了妈妈的病情以及恢复情况。

【小题1】accepted→received考查动词。

接受手术是疾病所迫，并不是什么高兴的事，不用accept，所以用received 。

【小题2】去掉more 考查形容词。

much better好得多，more是多余的，所以去掉more。

【小题3】加of 考查介词。

because作连词后接从句，because of是介词短语，后接名词(词组)或相当于该结构的内容，故加of。

【小题4】other→another考查代词。

another后接数词，表示“再、还过多少时间”，故用another
【小题5】say→said考查时态。

这里指医生已说过的事，用过去时，用said 。

两三天用two or three days，故用or。

【小题7】加the 考查冠词。

这里特指家庭的其他成员，加the。

【小题8】fast→soon考查副词。

fast指动作的迅速，soon指时间“尽快地”，所以用soon。

【小题10】happily→happy考查形容词。

形容词作表语，用happy。

Does beauty really make much sense?
Last week in our English class, we had a very heated discussion on the topic—does beauty really make much sense? Some students think that a good face is a pass. Good appearance often makes a big difference in social communication, social competition, job hunting and so on. Not only can it make you become more confident but also it makes you impressive in the job interview.
Other students hold different opinions. Good appearance doesn’t make any difference. Spiritual beauty is more important. A beautiful person is not necessarily one with good looking, but one with a kind heart and great talent.
As far as I am concerned, both physical beauty and spiritual beauty are very important. What I want to say is that we should never ignore our spiritual beauty training while simply pursuing good appearance.
【解析】
试题分析：要求考生根据所给的写作要求和提纲，确定文章的中心思想，然后紧紧围绕中心思想展开写作。

注意文章文体、人称和时态。

根据所给提纲，列出要点，并以此为基础充分发挥自己的想象力，灵活运用英语知识，采用不同的表达方式将各要点完整地表述出来，注意主次分明，详略得当。

语言力求准确、简洁。

根据情景的发展，按顺序安排好材料。

同时应选用合适的连接词或过渡词，使文章具有一定的连贯性。

【亮点说明】文中使用了非常好的短语和句子为文章增色不少，比如 heated discussion
热烈的谈论，makes a big difference有很大的影响，impressive印象深刻，make any difference没有影响，not necessarily不必要，ignore忽视，pursue追求等。

Not only can it make you become more confident but also it makes you impressive in the job interview是not only..but also结构的倒装句。

还运用了What I want to say is that…主语从句等。

并注意了句子的衔接如用As far as I am concerned等来表示自己的观点。
