Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.ASome time ago, I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a whole lot of antique shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man wouldn't even look at my chair.The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth —so I decided that my approach must be wrong.I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,” I said. “OK,” he said, “I’ll give you twenty pounds.” “It’s got a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that; it's nothing.”Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “I'll buy it,” I said. “What do you mean?You’ve just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I'm sorry; I'll give you twenty-seven pounds for it. ” “You must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair. ” “You’re right,” I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, ‘Would you mend this chair for me?’” “I wouldn't have agreed to do it,” he said. “We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too muc h trouble. But I’ll mend this for you; shall we say for a fiver?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.56. We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer ________.A. was rather impoliteB. was warmly receivedC. asked the shopkeeper to buy his chairD. asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair57. The underlined word “approach” in the second paragraph means _____________.A. plan for dealing with thingB. decision to sell thingsC. idea of repairing things by himselfD. way of doing things58. The expression “ the penny dropped” in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper __________.A. changed his mindB. accepted the offerC. saw the writer’s purposeD. decided to help the writer59. How much did the writer pay?A. £5B. £6C. £20D. £2760. From the text, we can learn that the writer was____________.A. honestB. carefulC. smartD. funnyBThe nation's largest group of pediatricians(小儿科医生) on Monday urged its members to “firmly oppose boxing for any child or adolescent.”In a statement, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) said thousands of boys and girls take part in the sport in North America, despite risks of serious brain and facial injuries. The group’s position was approved by some experts.“There is very little one can do in order to increase the chance of having a healthy brain when you get old,” said Dr. Hans Forstl, who has studied boxing injuries.“ One of the best things you can do is avoid boxing.” He said.According to the new statement, published in the journal Pediatrics, information from Canada shows a rise in boxing injuries over the past decade.Pat Russo, a retired police officer who runs a boxing gym in Brooklyn, New York, said injuries are rare in amateur boxing. After 26 years and training thousands of kids, he has seen just one split lip among his students.“ If the gym is run properly, injuries are at an absolute minimum,” Russo said. “Football is ten times more dangerous. While tennis or football might also help kids gain confidence, boxing holds a special attraction for children in poor neighborhoods, because it allows them to act tough while in tr ouble.”Dr. Robert Cantu, a surgeon (外科医生) at Emerson Hospital in Concord, Massachusetts, said AAP’s attitude makes sense for upper-class and middle-class kids.“ Clearly boxing is safer today than it was 20 or 30 years ago, but it is still a very risk y activity,” he said.“For kids in poor areas, however, the situation is different,” said Cantu. “ The most dangerous thing for the majority of people in boxing is just where they live. They are far safer in the ring (拳击场), even taking blows to the head, than they are out in the neighborhood.”61. The statement released by AAP was ___________.A approved by Pat RussoB focused on professional boxingC based on Dr. Hans Forstl’s researchD strongly against boxing for children62. What i s Dr. Hans Forstl’s attitude towards boxing for children?A UnconcernedB SupportiveC OpposedD Neutral63. Pat Russo believes that boxing injuries are____________.A still on the rise todayB not a serious problem in his gymC not common in poor neighborhoodD more dangerous than football injuries64. In the text, Dr. Robert Cantu expressed his concern about __________.A brain injuries occurring in boxing matchesB the development of boxing among childrenC the attitude of upper-class kids toward boxingD children’s security in poor neighborhood65. What is the text mainly about?A The development of boxing gymsB Children’s risk of injury in boxingC The disadvantage of doing boxingD Measures to improve boxing safetyCCollege visits are important.Before you commit years of your life andmoney to a school, be sure you're choosing a place," that is a good match for your personality and interests.You can’t get the "feel' of a school from any guidebook, so be sure to visit the campus.Below are a few tips for gettingthe most out of your college visit.1.Explore on your ownOf course you should take the official campus tour, but be sure to allow time to hang around on your own.The trained tour guides will show you aschool's selling points.But the 1dest and prettiest buildings don't give you the entire picture of a college.Try to walk the extra mile and get the completepicture of the campus.2.Read the Bulletin BoardsWhen you visit the student center, academic buildings and residence hall, take a few minutes to read the bulletin boards.They provide an easy way to seewhat's happening on campus.The ads for lectures, clubs and plays can tellyou what's going on outside the classrooms.3.Eat in the Dining HallYou can get a good feel for student life by eating in the dining hall.Try tosit with students if you can.Do the students seem happy or stressed?

Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information for the passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.Food makes us feel good, but some people eat when they aren’t really hungry and eat to simply feel good. This kind of eating habit is called emotional eating, which does not affect adults but also young children. It isn’t a good thing.A child’s eating habits can develop right from childho od. As we know, a baby cries out if he doesn’t get milk at the usual time of the day. However, sometimes parents immediately stick a bottle in a child’s mouth without trying to find out if the child is really hungry. In fact, children may cry for other reasons. Even as children grow up and start going to school, parents sometimes give them a chocolate bar if they become really unhappy. As the children further grow up, they may become used to having a snack whenever they’re upset or low.Therefore, they’d li ke to eat an emotional snack when they have the feeling of unhappiness and boredom. Even when they don’t get high grades, aren’t popular at school or made fun of by others, they will want something to eat. After having the snack, they feel a lot better.Emotional eating in young children is a thing that needs to be taken seriously. To protect your children from emotional eating, you should satisfy your child’s emotionalneeds in the best possible way. This includes spending time with your child every day, taking an interest in his school work, helping your child study, providing a health environment without tension at home, etc. Don’t make the child lose face by scolding him. Develop confidence in your child. Make your child eat enough once in a while. Reward him for his achievements.All this will help your little one develop a healthy eating habit. And always remember love and care is the key to help your child out of trouble and grow up happily.第三节回答问题(共4小题;满分10分)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.I remember a day 17 years ago quite well.That day,our twin sons,Chad and Brad, loaded their car and left home to go to college.I realized that our dinner table would soon become a “table for two”. Sure,the boys would come home on the weekends, but even so, I knew our family life would never be exactly the same again.Before leaving, the boys walked around each room of the house to make sure they hadn't forgotten anything they needed. We all walked outside.Chad and Brad gave me big hugs and quickly got into their car.I waved as they drove away.When I couldn’t see their car any longer,I began to sob. My husband Roy tried to comfort me, but I could see grief in his eyes, as well.There are many parents who would experience this period.Bittersweet feeling will be present.While the parents feel pride and joy for their children,they will also feel a sense of grief.Painful moments fill their minds.While I can not adequately explain the feelings,I can still remember how I felt when we began that new chapter in our lives.As time went on,Roy and I are now accustomed to our table for two and we enjoy our lives together.As an added bonus,“dinner for two” is much more affordable than dinner out for an entire family.I have to admit I still miss our children and the old times we had together.But I have to say I enjoy the time I spend with my husband more than ever before.Roy and I have always enjoyed each other's company,but after the children went to college,we found a great amount of strength in each other.Some things havechanged over the years.Our love for one another has grown stronger with each passing day.Together,Roy and I are now doing things we never dreamed possible.Our children oftentimes talk about how we are busier and happier than we have ever been before.Could it be because we fell deeper in love as we spent quality time together at our table for two?81. When was the writer's family life changed according to the passage?( No more than 7 words) (2 marks)82. Why did the two boys walk around each room before leaving home?(No more than10 words) (2 marks)83. According to the passage,how do the parents feel about their children’s leavinghome to go to college? (No more than 16 words) (3 marks)84.According to the passage,why are the author and her husband busier and happier than they have ever before? (No more than 16 words)(3 marks)第四部分:写作(满分25分)Directions: Write an English composition according to the instructions given below in Chinese.我校英联邦友好学校---马恩岛巴拉克明中学师生代表团于上个月访问我校,代表团和我校接待的老师、学生一起参观了很多地方,并且开展了一些活动。

并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑AYou may know the English letters A, B and C. But do you know there are people called ABC? You may like eating bananas. But do you know there is such a thing a "banana person"? How strange! Are these people from ―another earth‖? No, they are just Chinese people like you and me.ABC means American–born Chinese. An ABC is a Chinese, but was born in the United States. Sometimes, people call an ABC a ―banana person‖. A banana is yellow outside and white inside — looking like a Westerner and yellow outside —looking like a Chinese.Do you know why? Usually, ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language. Some of them don’t speak Chinese. Also, they are not interested in Chinese politics.But if ABCs can not speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people? Yes, of course. They are Chinese. They are overseas Chinese. These people may be citizens (公民)of another country like the US, Canada or Singapore. But they have Chinese blood. Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China. They all have black eyes and black hair. But they are not Chinese citizens. They are not people of the People’s Republic of China. For example, we all know the famous scientist C .N.Yang (杨振宁). H e got the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1957. Chinese people love him. But he is an American citizen. 21.―ABC‖ in this passage means ―____________‖.A. three English lettersB. Americans born in ChinaC. Chinese born in AmericaD. a kind of banana22.Chinese in Western countries are called ―banana persons‖ because _______.A. their bodies are white inside but yellow outsideB. they like to eat bananasC. they think like Westerners but look like ChineseD. they were born in China but got to study in America23.N.Yang is mentioned (提到) here to show that ____________A . American Chinese are great.B. We love American Chinese.C. American-Chinese are not Chinese citizensD. Chinese people can win Nobel Prizes.24.This passage mainly talks about _____.A. different kinds of bananasB. the life story ofC.N. YangC. the Nobel PrizeD. overseas ChineseBTeahouses in ChengduThere is a saying, ―China has the best teahouses in the world and Chengdu has the best teahouses in China.‖Chengdu has not only many teahouses but also the special ways of serving and drinking tea.As soon as the visitors enter the teahouses, the waiters or waitresses will greet them with teapots and cups in their hands. The cups often have special covers and saucers(茶碟). The covers can keep the water warm.People who go to the teahouses are not all thirsty. Retired(退休)people pay a little money to the teahouses and then sit there all day long to chat with others. Sometimes, people have parties in the teahouses. They eat fruit and sunflower seeds(瓜子)while they chat and return home when they are tired. Teahouses are also good places for people to talk about businesses. Some of the teahouses even have stages for performances, such as storytelling, cross talk and Sichuan Opera. Sometimes when people have a quarrel, a mediator(调解员)will bring them to the teahouse. After their problem is solved, the person who is wrong will pay for the tea. It is interesting that as soon as the quarrelers enter the teahouse and sit down to drink tea, they have almost calmed down. With the help of the mediator, their problems can be easily solved then. Maybe we can say the teahouses have some special social functions.25.Chengdu has the best teahouses in China because _____.A.there are many old men in Chengdu teahousesB.the serving of the teahouses in Chengdu is very specialC.there are many people in Chengdu teahousesD.the cups in Chengdu teahouses are old26.Who will pay for the tea after the mediator solve some problems?A.The person who caused the problem B.The mediator himselfC.All the persons in the teahouse D.The owner of the teahouse 27.This passage mainly talks about _______.A.how to make B.the special functions of the teahouses C.how to open a teahouse D.the special way of enjoying teaCBeijing is facing severe (严重的) traffic problems."Roads are wider now, but traffic jams (堵塞) often happen every day. " Yuan, a Beijing taxi drivers said.Beijing government is trying to do something to make traffic jams less. Before 2007, there were a few subway lines in Beijing. There was only line 1, line 2, line 13 and Batong Line. But now there is line 5, line 10, line 4, the airport fast -track and the Olympic branch line. And there will be 13 subway lines under construction in Beijing at the same time at the end of this year.The opening of the new subway line is convenient to tourists. Before, arriving in Beijing, many visitors would usually take a taxi to interesting places of Beijing. Today, as soon as people get off the plane, they can take the Airport Express Line, going to different interesting places through the subway lines. The government also strives to open a new line each year from now until 2015. The subway of Beijing reached 300 kilometers in 2010 and it will reach 561 kilometers in 2015.Miss Xiao, who lives in South Water Bridge and works at Hepingli, said that traveling by her car still took her at least one hour from home to work because of traffic jams. Now, because of the railway line 5, Miss Xiao can arrive at her office in less than haft an hour.28.What are the traffic problems in Beijing now?A. Drivers drive too fast.B.

Railway lines in Beijing only covers some areas.C. Beijing government has done something to make traffic jams less.D. Beijing welcomes visitors from different places.DSome people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances(环境)don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical(可行的). And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t p ut in.This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable(难以忍受的)pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking th at way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction(入迷), and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee(保证)you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.32. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ________.A. the meaning of successB. the reasons for successC. the standards of successD. the importance of success33. In Paragraph 2, the underlined wor d ―that‖ refers to ______.A. being good at somethingB. succeeding in lifeC. setting a practical goalD. putting in more time34. Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ______.A. work makes one feel painB. it takes a lot of time to succeedC. one tends to enjoy his workD. one gives up his work easily35. What is the main theme of the passage?A. Having a goal is vital to success.B. Being good is different from being great.C. Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.D. One cannot succeed without time and practice.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Here we help with ways to cut your costs.AVOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost £169.15 at . A week later, the same room cost £118.15.If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or you’re looking for a big event to pass your time—check out sites such as , which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.STAYAWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.Don’t be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge’s Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was £95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was £75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just £62.95.LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic O’Neill Flat on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, available for £420 for five days in late September, with room for four adults.GET ON A BIKE London’s ‘Boris bikes’have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs.Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle (casual members pay around £1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or £5 per day). (358 words)56. The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may __________.A. help travelers pass timeB. attract lots of travelers to the UKC. allow travelers to make flexible plansD. cause travelers to pay more for accommodation57. “Farringdon” in Paragraph 5 is most probably __________.A. a hotel away from the train stationB. the tube line to Covent GardenC. an ideal holiday destinationD. the name of a travel agency58.

Cardiff’s program allows a free bike for a maximum period of __________.A. half an hourB. one hourC. one hour and a halfD. two hours60. The main purpose of the passage is __________.A. to tell visitors how to book in advanceB. to supply visitors with hotel informationC. to show visitors the importance of self-helpD. to offer visitors some money-saving tipsBConnecting with PatientsDr. Paris of ten treats several generations of a family over many years. “He’s seen us through two births, one operation, multiple earaches, a broken wrist and a recovery from a serious traffic crash,” says Jill Farrow, a 43-year-old lawyer whose first visit to Dr. Paris was as a teenager. During the birth of her younger son, Farrow began bleeding badly. Dr. Paris managed to solve the problem in a delicate procedure. “Twenty years ago, she probably would have died,” he says. Today, when he performs school sports physical examinations for the Farrow boys, 10 and 11, he is always reminded that lives are changed forever by doctors just doing their jobs.To be a mix of country doc and somewhat adventurer, the 55-year-old family physician moved to Hailey after completing his residency(医生实习期). He hoped to practice medicine there and ski at nearby Sun Valley. Unfortunately, the only job opening was for an emergency-room doctor in Missoula, Montana, 300 miles away. Dr. Paris took it. "I'd ski all day and then drive all night to be in Missoula for a 48-hour shift," he recalls. "I'm lucky to be alive." Knowing he couldn't keep up with his eight-hour commute(通勤), he began taking flying lessons.In 1981, Dr. Paris joined a small medical practice in Hailey, a former mining town with a population at the time of 2,109. As Hailey grew in the shadow of Sun Valley's booming popularity, Dr. Paris's own practice expanded to seven physicians, including his wife, Kathryn Woods, who is also a family doctor. They met in 1986 at a certification exam in Denver when, in a room full of men in stodgy suits, Woods arrived wearing a Lycra biking outfit and carrying the front wheel of her bicycle (which she couldn't lock up outside). Dr. Paris asked her out on the spot. In 1989, they married.61.What Jill Farrow says is to indicate ________.A. how weak the bodies of her familyB. how hard it is to be a doctorC. how brilliant the physician’s skill isD. how easy it is to deal with such problems62.Dr. Paris often reminds himself that ________.A. lives of people should not always stay the sameB. people can rely on themselves to change their lifeC. doctors should change their own lifeD. it is the duty of a doctor to heal the patients63.Why did Dr. Paris move to Hailey?A. Because he can be a doctor and an adventurer there.B. Because he has to finish his residency there.C. Because his children are fond of skiing at nearby Sun Valley.D. Because he has to be an emergency-room doctor there.64.We can infer the doctor got married probably at the age of ________.A. 27.B. 37.C. 17.D. 47.65.This passage is intended to ________.A. introduce Dr. ParisB. praise the doctor’s excellent medical artC. describe the doctor’s adventurous experienceD. tell the doctor’s love affairsCPeople from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions — and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why.Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly(均匀的) across a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes."We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions," Jack said. "Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, whereas Easterners favor the eyes and neglect (忽略) the mouth."According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery shows that human communication of emotion is more complex than previously believed. As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotion in cross-cultural situations.The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of. expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral. They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies.It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than did Westerners. "The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facialexpressions," Jack said. "Our data suggest that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less."In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.66. The discovery shows that Westerners _______.A. pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouthB. consider facial expressions universally reliableC. observe the eyes and the mouth in different waysD. have more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions67. What were the people asked to do in the study?A. To make a face at each other.B. To get their faces impressive.C. To classify some face pictures.D. To observe the researchers' faces.68. What does the underlined word "they" in Paragraph 6 refer to?A. The participants in the study.B. The researchers of the study.C. The errors made during the study.D. The data collected from the study.69. In comparison with Westerners, Easterners are likely to_______.A. do translation more successfullyB. study the mouth more frequentlyC. examine the eyes more attentivelyD. read facial expressions more correctly70. What can be the best title for the passage?A. The Eye as the Window to the SoulB. Cultural Differences in Reading EmotionsC. Effective Methods to Develop Social SkillsD. How to Increase Cross-cultural UnderstandingPart Ⅳ Writing(45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage.

After he had driven off in anger, I realized that I wasn’t going to feel any better just sitting there. Feeling abandoned and guilty, I put on my gym shoes to get some fresh air.Our driveway has a slope (科技) that is easier just to jog down if you are lazy, taking advantage of gravity. Instead of stopping at the end of the lope, I decided to see if I could just jog to the end of the street. I had tried a few months ago and failed miserably. Since that first attempt I had been jogging regularly and was significantly fitter, but still very lazy. However this time around I managed to reach the stop sign with ease and I figured I would go a little further.After about one kilometer, however, I noticed that my upper body was tense. To make the movement easier I had to relax my body, and tried to take deep breaths of fresh air.I kept giving myself the excuse to stop. No one would be disappointed. No onewould even know. But I didn’t stop.I wanted to keep going harder, better, faster, stronger, To my great surprise, I ran 4.9 km in 31 minutes. When I got back, I had tears in my eyes. I did something I thought I could never do.It was the first run of my life. Since then, I have improved my stride(步幅) and time. After every run I feel fitter, happier and motivated to keep progressing.I love the runner’s high. I normally jog because I want to look good. I want to run because it makes me feel good.81.

Then, we can talk about how we can 40 them and make our lives happier.” The husband agreed. So they went to think of the things that annoyed them about the other.The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided they would go over their 41 .“I’ll start,” said the wife.

In fact, as she started reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husband's eyes.“What’s wrong?” she asked. “Nothing.” the husband replied,“ 42 reading your list.” The wife continued to read until she had read all three 43 to her husband.“Now, it’s your turn and then we’ll talk about the things on both of our lists.” she said happily.44 the husband stated,“I don’t have anything on my list. I think you are 45 the way that you are.

Christopher Gardner led the study,reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association. He said the Atkins diet may be more successful because of its simple message to lower the intake of sugar.Also,he said the advice to increase protein in the diet leads to more satisfying meals. But last week,another report suggested that only a small minority of people have longterm success in dieting.Researchers at the University of California found that most dieters regained their lost weight within five years.And often they gained back even more.But those who kept the weight off generally were the ones who exercised.56.All the following is helpful to lose weight EXCEPT________.A.a healthy diet B.physical exerciseC.medical interventions D.being polite to others57.You are most likely to gain too much weight if________.A.you eat the same number of calories as the number you useB.you take in less calories than the number you useC.you take in more calories than the number you useD.you take exercise regularly on the weekdays58.The third paragraph mainly tells us that________.A.there are four popular dieting plans in the USAB.the Atkins diet has the best effect on losing weightC.lots of women attended diet classes every dayD.dieting plan is the most important59.Which one of the following is NOT right according to this passage?A.The change of your life habits can help you lose weight.B.You’d better exercise once a week to lose some weight.C.The Atkins diet may be good because of lowering the intake of sugar.D.Some people gain weight back for their unhealthy diet.60.Which one of the following is the best title for this passage?A.Successful Weightloss Plans B.Four Popular Dieting PlansC.What Is the Atkins Diet? D.Few People Fail in Losing WeightBIt had been three months since Ms Miller had started teaching. She was gradually being able to understand all her students, except one, Bob. Bob was the only boy who came to school dressed untidily and sat in the class completely lost in his own world. His performance had been deteriorating gradually with every single day.Ms Miller searched through the progress reports of Bob and was shocked to see Bob used to be the topper in his class. Bob's performance began to slowly decline when his mother fell ill. He was doing badly in each and every subject when his mother died leaving him alone with his father, who was a businessman and had to travel always. Apart from his performance worsening gradually, Bob's nature too began to change. He had forgotten to laugh and showed no interest in any activity. All his friends had abandoned him.One day, Bob was asked to stay back.Ms Miller asked him if he had any problem understanding his lessons. Gradually she began to give him a comfort zone so that he could talk and share. After three weeks, she found Bob gradually improving. He was being able to answer the questions he previously failed. Every day after all the students went away, Ms Miller gave personal attention to Bob and began to spend time with him. Bob improved a lot over the next semester, showing definite signs of progress in his performance.On a Friday, Bob came up to Ms Miller, handed her a box and requested her to open the box on Sunday. On Sunday morning, curious, she opened it and saw a bottle of perfume, half filled. Together with it was a small letter, saying that this bottle of perfume used to be his mother's and he wished Ms Miller to wear it so that every time she was around, he could feel his Mom near him. He thanked her for everything. Ms Miller took the bottle of perfume in her hand and saw a new tag attached to it; it said "Happy Mother's Day”!Ms Miller suddenly realized that it was not she who had made a difference to Bob's life but it was Bob who made her realize what true humanity is!61. According to the text, Bob________.A. wore clean clothes all the timeB. was taller than any other one in his classC. lost all of his friends after his mother's deathD. could always have his father for company at home62.

Paragraph 3 is mainly about________.A. why Ms Miller would like to help Bob.B. what Ms Miller did to help Bob.C.how Bob attracted Ms Miller’s attention.D.where Bob could sit comfortably64.The bottle of perfume given to Ms Miller______.A. showed Bob was thankful for Ms Miller’s helpB. was given on Mother’s DayC. made Bob a different studentD. was new and never used before65. What does the author wanted to tell us ______.A. a teacher can totally change a student’s lifeB. family is the most important place for kidsC. children don’t have to solve problems by themselvesD. one should have sympathy for another’s suffering and offer helpCIf English is not your first language, it is a good idea to take English language classes to improve your written and spoken communication skills. There are many ways to learn English. You can learn from a book, a DVD, on the Internet or by attending classes. One of the most successful ways to improve your English is to join a course in a country where English is widely spoken. The more you practice, the more you will learn. But why learn the English language? English is an important language for anyone who is planning to travel or become involved in business.Many people love traveling, but if their English is poor, it can be difficult to understand signs, read directions and make themselves understood. Before traveling, it is important to understand the culture and customs of the places you visit. Learning basic English before you travel will help you to understand these customs and avoid mistakes that could be embarrassing. When you are traveling, you will also enjoy meeting new people. If you can speak English, you will have a better chance of being able to communicate with the people you meet. Many of your new friends will speak English and others will have English as a second language. Without English, your friendships will be limited as you travel around the world.If you are involved in business, it is important to be able to communicate in English. The Internet, world travel and modern communication systems have made the world seem like a much smaller place. These days business people interact with customers and other business people from all over the world. That makes your English language skills more important than ever. There are many English language courses that major in business communications. Improving your English skills is one of the best things you could ever do to increase your chances of business success.66. What kind of people is English important to according to the passage?A. Travelers.B. Teachers.C. Students.D. Language experts.67. Which of the following is the best way to learn English well?A. Traveling around the world with English-speakers.B. Taking a course in an English-speaking country.C. Learning from all kinds of books or DVDs.D. Learning on the Internet by yourselves.68. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the aim of learning basic English?A. To have more opportunities to communicate with others.B. To understand the customs of your destination.C. To avoid embarrassing mistakes on your journey.D. To research the causes of cultural differences.69. What is the main idea of the third paragraph?A. The more you practice, the more you will learn.B. Doing business helps to improve your communication skills.C. English is important for anyone who is involved in business.D. The Internet has made the world become smaller and smaller.70. We can infer from the passage that _____.A. learning English well will make you achieve goals more easilyB. learning English only aims at achieving business successC. without learning English, your friendships will be limited wherever you areD. you needn’t learn English if you don’t want to travelPart ⅣWriting(45 marks)Section A(10 marks)Directions:Read the following passage.Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Harmless fun and bullying(欺负) separated by a very thin line.This line is crossed on a daily basis,without being known.This full extent of this line crossing isn’t often felt until much later.Blind eyes are often being turned,and the problem is becoming more and more serious. Harmless fun occurs when nobody has hurt feelings and laughter follows.There is no harm in the fun,and all people can enjoy the joking.Bullying occurs when someone is looked down upon.Not every joke is funny,and sometimes we can cruelly hurt somebody without our knowledge.The most difficult part of the line between harmless fun and bullying is the simple fact that everybody has their own line,and even it’s different from time to time,depending on a certain character.Everybody has their own limit of tolerance,and harmless fun that is close to bullying usually gather up the bottled emotions that are ready to break out.No matter how strong the friendships are,words can treat them apart from the root,destroying the very foundation that they have been built upon.The key is that the line should never be crossed.Harmless fun has its time and place,since laughter is the best medicine for what worries you,but it should never be taken to the extreme,where someone is feeling down.The best possible way to ensure that you aren’t the one responsible for linecrossing is to think before you speak.We should first try to understand before we try to be understood.If the words you feel like saying to someone aren’t the words you would want to say to your parent,brother,child,or good friend,then chances are that you should think of something else to say. Saying things behind someone else’s back is no good,either,because those words often find their target finally,and usually the comments have been misunderstood and the intention,while perhaps harmless,tends to turn towards bullying.Section B(10 marks)Directions:Read the following passage.Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.Many people run after goals that they hope will make them happy,but happiness is not always the final result.So how does one decide which goals will end in personal happiness and which will not?How do the things in life affect personal happiness?The most important thing is people’s attitude toward life,which can greatly affect their personal levels of happiness and satisfaction with life.Psychologists have known for some time that optimism is a good way to fight against unhappiness.It’s probably no secret that optimistic people are considered to be much happier people than pessimists.There are specific characteristic features optimists have (pleasant ways of thinking),that bring them more success,greater health,increased life satisfaction, and other good things.If you became an optimist,it can mean that you became a very happy person,despite your circumstances,and it can actually bring more things into your life to be happy about.“If you are optimistic and you think life is going to get better,it will become a self fulfillment prediction.” says one of the scientists.“Happy people manage to look on the bright side,even if they meet big problems on their way.”Positive psychologists believe that people can learn how to become happy and that everyone can teach themselves to see a half empty glass as half full.All they have to do is to spend time thinking about all the things that have gone right for them,rather than complaining what has gone badly.But people who are depressed usually think and worry about something that went wrong in the past.81.What can affect people’s personal levels of happiness according to the passage? (No more than 5 words)________________________________________________________________________82.Why are some people depressed according to the study? (No more than 14 words)________________________________________________________________________83.How do happy people deal with the big problems in their life? (No more than 8 words)________________________________________________________________________84.What is the main idea of the passage? (No more than 10 words)_______________________________________________________________________Section C(25 marks)Directions:Write an English composition according to the instructions given below in Chinese. 随着时代的发展,人们的阅读方式也在逐渐改变,越来越多的人喜欢使用手机或互联网来进行日常阅读。

Choose the one that fits best according to the information givenin the passage.ADoes Housework Make You RelaxedWork and life these days can be full of pressure. So, if you do something simple like washing dirty clothes, it can make you feel both relaxed and successful. It seems impossible, but in fact some experts are really encouraging people to do so.“Simple housework such as washing the windows or ironing(熨)clothes is a good way to face the pressure without taking medicine,” says Carol Clark, a successful New York psychologist(心理学家). She has met some people who have pressure in life. She advises them to try doing daily housework.“While washing the windows,” she tells them, “imagine you’re washing away all the little things in life that are troubling you. While ironing, imagine you’re solving the problems of your life.”But some people did not agree. We interviewed two working parents.“Housework is the main reason for pressure in my life.” Says Linda, a computer programmer a nd a mother of three. She says, “Get out of housework and then I’ll really be able to relax.”Gary is a doctor and a single father of a six-month-old baby. He was even more against doing housework. “So, a man pays a psychologist $200 an hour to help to relax, and the psychologist tells him to go and do some housework! I don’t know who is crazier—the psychologist or the man!”56. The word “it”means something _______in the sentence “it can make you feel both relaxed and successful.”A.simple B.different C.relaxing D.healthy 57.Carol Clark thinks doing housework is a good way to face the ______ in life.

The postcard had a picture of the steamship Titanic. The Titanic was the largest ocean ship in the world. It hit an iceberg (冰山) and sank on April 14,1912. More than 1,500 of the 2 ,200 people on the ship were killed.The postcard was passed from one person to another for more than 80 years: Then it appeared at a card show for people who liked to collect postcards. An eleven-year-old boy, Joey Russell, came to the show with his grandfather. His grandfather knew everything about the Titanic and its trip from England to New York. “Let’s buy th at postcard,” he told Joey. “It will be important someday.”Two years later, Joey's grandfather took him on a special trip. They went on a trip to the North Atlantic Ocean to watch as workers pulled the Titanic up from the bottom(底)of the ocean. Joey put his special postcard in his bag for the trip. On the ship, Joey met Edith Haisman. This woman was on the Titanic when it sank. She was one of the people who were rescued. Joey pulled the postcard out of his pocket. “Please sign this, Mrs. Haisman .” he said. She was happy to write her name on the back of the postcard.When Joey got home, he put the postcard away and forgot about it. Then Kate Shelley,one of Joey 's friends, told him that her mother was very sick. She needed an operation, but there was a problem. The operation was very expensive, and the family needed $80,000 to pay for it. Friends and relatives tried to help. But where could they get so much money?Then when Joey went to see the new movie "Titanic", he had an idea. "Millions of people are seeing this movie and reading about the Titanic,” Joey thought. He remembered the old postcard with Edith Haisman's signature on it. “Maybe I can sell it for some money. Then I can help Kate's mom.”Joey told his mother and father about his idea to help Mrs. Shelley. His parents helped him try to sell the postcard to the person who would pay the most money for it. Joey’s story was on television and in news papers. Joey and Kate even went to New York to be on a national TV show. After the show, many people called in to offer money for the Titanic card.

Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required word limit.The computer makes doing schoolwork easier for me than it was for my mom and dad. For example, when writing book reports and stories, I use Microsoft Word instead of a pen and paper. That way, after my teacher checks my work, I can go back and make revisions without having to rewrite the whole thing. And Microsoft Word has a spell check! I use it all the time.For English class, we are reading The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton. As pre-reading homework, my teacher asked us to research teenage groups on the Internet. I tried Google, Encarta, and Yahoo first, and finally found an article on .For geography homework on the United States, I used Encarta to learn about the Mississippi River. I needed to find out how deep the river is, how its widths and depths are different, what states it runs through, and what kinds of fish live in it. I used the information to show how the geography of a country influences its economy. For example, the river’s trade paths, the number of fish caught in it and the tourists it attracts directly affect Southerners’ jobs a nd incomes.I never go to the library to do research. It takes too much time. Since I live in New York City and both my parents work, getting to the library isn’t always easy. For a big task or research project, I used to stay at the library to read, or sign out whatever books or magazines I needed. Now being able to find the information in my own living room makes everything a lot simpler. Online dictionaries and encyclopedias (百科全书) also save time.Sometimes, I think the computer spoils my generation because it is so easy --- at least physically. But computers are not like television, which does the thinking for you. You still have to use your mind. I prefer using a computer, easy, fun, and fast. 66. What does the writer use when he writes book reports and stories? (no more than 3 words)67. Why doesn’t the write r go to the library to do research? (no more than 6 words)68. How does the writer complete a big assignment or research project at present? (no more than 10 words)69. Why does the author prefer using a computer? (no more than 11 words)PART FOUR: WRITING(15 points)Directions: write an English composition according to the instructions given below in Chinese. The beginning and the end are both given. Please write about 100 words.假如你是陈忠,想作为一名交换生去美国学习,请你写一封申请函,介绍自己的基本情况。

He said the Atkins diet may be more successful because of its simple message to lower the intake of sugar.Also,he said the advice to increase protein in the diet leads to more satisfying meals. But last week,another report suggested that only a small minority of people have longterm success in dieting.Researchers at the University of California found that most dieters regained their lost weight within five years.And often they gained back even more.But those who kept the weight off generally were the ones who exercised.56.All the following is helpful to lose weight EXCEPT________.A.a healthy diet B.physical exerciseC.medical interventions D.being polite to others 57.You are most likely to gain too much weight if________.A.you eat the same number of calories as the number you useB.you take in less calories than the number you useC.you take in more calories than the number you useD.you take exercise regularly on the weekdays58.The third paragraph mainly tells us that________.A.there are four popular dieting plans in the USAB.the Atkins diet has the best effect on losing weightC.lots of women attended diet classes every dayD.dieting plan is the most important 59.Which one of the following is NOT right according to this passage?A.The change of your life habits can help you lose weight.B.You’d better exercise once a week to lose some weight.C.The Atkins diet may be good because of lowering the intake of sugar.D.Some people gain weight back for their unhealthy diet. 60.Which one of the following is the best title for this passage?A.Successful Weightloss Plans B.Four Popular Dieting Plans C.What Is the Atkins Diet? D.Few People Fail in Losing WeightBIt had been three months since Ms Miller had started teaching. She was gradually being able to understand all her students, except one, Bob. Bob was the only boy who came to school dressed untidily and sat in the class completely lost in his own world. His performance had been deteriorating gradually with every single day.Ms Miller searched through the progress reports of Bob and was shocked to see Bob used to be the topper in his class. Bob's performance began to slowly decline when his mother fell ill. He was doing badly in each and every subject when his mother died leaving him alone with his father, who was a businessman and had to travel always. Apart from his performance worsening gradually, Bob's nature too began to change. He had forgotten to laugh and showed no interest in any activity. All hisfriends had abandoned him.One day, Bob was asked to stay back.Ms Miller asked him if he had any problem understanding his lessons. Gradually she began to give him a comfort zone so that he could talk and share. After three weeks, she found Bob gradually improving. He was being able to answer the questions he previously failed. Every day after all the students went away, Ms Miller gave personal attention to Bob and began to spend time with him. Bob improved a lot over the next semester, showing definite signs of progress in his performance.On a Friday, Bob came up to Ms Miller, handed her a box and requested her to open the box on Sunday. On Sunday morning, curious, she opened it and saw a bottle of perfume, half filled. Together with it was a small letter, saying that this bottle of perfume used to be his mother's and he wished Ms Miller to wear it so that every time she was around, he could feel his Mom near him. He thanked her for everything. Ms Miller took the bottle of perfume in her hand and saw a new tag attached to it; it said "Happy Mother's Day”!Ms Miller suddenly realized that it was not she who had made a difference to Bob's life but it was Bob who made her realize what true humanity is!61.

We can infer from the passage that _____.A. learning English well will make you achieve goals more easilyB. learning English only aims at achieving business successC. without learning English, your friendships will be limited wherever you areD. you needn’t learn English if you don’t want to travelPart ⅣWriting(45 marks)Section A(10 marks)Directions:Read the following passage.Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Harmless fun and bullying(欺负) separated by a very thin line.This line is crossed on a daily basis,without being known.This full extent of this line crossing isn’t often felt until much later.Blind eyes are often being turned,and the problem is becoming more and more serious.Harmless fun occurs when nobody has hurt feelings and laughter follows.There is no harm in the fun,and all people can enjoy the joking.Bullying occurs when someone is looked down upon.Not every joke is funny,and sometimes we can cruelly hurt somebody without our knowledge.The most difficult part of the line between harmless fun and bullying is the simple fact that everybody has their own line,and even it’s different from time to time,depending on a certain character.Everybody has their own limit of tolerance,and harmless fun that is close to bullying usually gather up the bottled emotions that are ready to break out.No matter how strong the friendships are,words can treat them apart from the root,destroying the very foundation that they have been built upon.The key is that the line should never be crossed.Harmless fun has its time and place,since laughter is the best medicine for what worries you,but it should never be taken to the extreme,where someone is feeling down.The best possible way to ensure that you aren’t the one responsible for linecrossing is to think before you speak.We should first try to understand before we try to be understood.If the words you feel like saying to someone aren’t the words you would want to say to your parent,brother,child,or good friend,then chances are that you should think of something else to say.Saying things behind someone else’s back is no good,either,becausethose words often find their target finally,and usually the comments have been misunderstood and the intention,while perhaps harmless,tends to turn towards bullying.Title:Harmless Fun and BullyingSection B(10 marks)Directions:Read the following passage.Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.Many people run after goals that they hope will make them happy,but happiness is not always the final result.So how does one decide which goals will end in personal happiness and which will not?How do the things in life affect personal happiness?The most important thing is people’s attitude toward life,which can greatly affect their personal levels of happiness and satisfaction with life.Psychologists have known for some time that optimism is a good way to fight against unhappiness.It’s probably no secret that optimistic people are considered to be much happier people than pessimists.There are specific characteristic features optimists have (pleasant ways of thinking),that bring them more success,greater health,increased life satisfaction, and other good things.If you became an optimist,it can mean that you became a very happy person,despite your circumstances,and it can actually bring more things into your life to be happy about.“If you are optimistic and you think life is going to get better,it will become a selffulfillment prediction.” says one of the scientists.“Happy people manage to look on the bright side,even if they meet big problems on their way.”Positive psychologists believe that people can learn how to become happy and that everyone can teach themselves to see a half empty glass as half full.All they have to do is to spend time thinking about all the things that have gone right for them,rather than complaining what has gone badly.But people who are depressed usually think and worry about something that went wrong in the past.81.What can affect people’s personal levels of happiness according to the passage?

Even after the Olympics, the growth of the Beijing Subway has continued, and there will be 19 lines in total in the coming few years.PartIII Reading Comprehension (30 marks)Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.A"My dream has come true.I have always wanted to be a Grand Slam (大满贯)champion." These are the words of the Chinese tennis player Li Na after she became the first Asian woman to win the Australian Open final on Jan.25th.2014."People were saying I'm getting old.So this is a great success for such an old woman." the 32-year-old girl joked.Miss Li has a tattoo (文身). She has dyed her hair many different colors.And, at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, she told her fans to "shut up" when they got too noisy in their support.Li Na was born in Wuhan.She started to play tennis at the age of 6.She once recalled: "As a child. I suffered a lot because every day I had to wake up early to practice.After school I had to practice more.I didn't have time to play." Luckily, the strong girl didn't give up. thus making history for Chinese tennis time after time.Now the new champion is already thinking about winning another Grand Slam title."When you have one title, surely you will think about another," she says. not hiding her ambition."Chinese people are so lacking in confidence on the tennis court.If there is a person like me who can prove we Chinese can do it, the other young players in China will feel the same." she said.56. Li Na began to learn playing tennis in the year of _____.A.1988 B.1982 C.1986 D.199057. We can learn from the passage that _____.A.Li Na is always impatient with her fansB.Li Na is an old girlC.Li Na is a fashionable girlD.Li Na is a girl without ambition58. When she began to play tennis, Li Na was _____.A.happy B.sad C.excited D.bored59. Which of the following is WRONG about Li Na?A.Li Na took part in the 2008 Beijing Olympics.B.Li Na has already won a Grand Slam champion.C.Li Na had to wake up early to practice playing tennis.D.Li Na said she lacked confidence on the tennis court.60. The passage mainly tells us _____.A.something about the tennisB.something about how to play tennisC.the Chinese people and the tennisD.the Grand Slam champion—Li NaBLearn to Communicate with OthersTalking to Teachers—Teachers are just people behind the desk, living breathing human beings. And they will probably be friendly to people who talk nicely to them. Teachers also seem to get along better with children who take schoolwork seriously and prepare for class. And, just like any other human being, teachers like to be appreciated. The next time your teacher helps you solve a math problem or figure outa science project, say thank you with a smile.Talking to Parents—Parents can be very supportiveif their children ask for help. If you think there’s something your parents can do to help you feel more comfortable around people, then ask them. Very often, parents want very much to help, but really don’t know what to do. Pick a quiet time of the day and ask to talk. Tell them how you feel. Maybe they had the same trouble when they were kids.Talking to Strangers—This is always a tough one. How do you deal with a neighbor, or the mail carrier? That often seems to cause arguments between kids and parents. The answer to these questions will varyfrom kid to kid, from parent to parent because all cultures are different. Some folks live in small towns where a hello to everyone is ok. Then there are kids who live in the city who may have been taught not to speak to anyone they don’t know. If you’re having trou ble with this and always feel awkward in these kinds of situations, you might want to talk to your parents or a teacher about it.61. From the first paragraph we may learn that teachers dislike______.A. being talked to nicelyB. their students to be serious with the schoolworkC. the students’ appreciationD. the students who are not ready for classes.62. If your parents are not supportive and you are not getting along quite well with your parents, who or what is to blame?A. Your parentsB. YourselfC. Lack of communicationD. Your teachers63. The underlined word in the third paragraph is close in meaning to ______.A. afraidB. happyC. puzzledD. easy64. Who does the writer write this passage for?A. kidsB. teachersC. school headmastersD. parents65. Which is the best way to talk to strangers according to the passage?A. Say hello to everyone you meet.B. Do not talk to anyone you don’t know.C. Do as what your parents taught you.D. It’s hard to say because cultures are different.CIs it necessary for a young man to have an apartment as a prerequisite(先决条件) for marriage? Housing has become a major obstacle(障碍) for Chinese young men hoping to start a family. China may breed a new group of bachelors, men caught in the trap of unaffordable houses.Since early 2009, the housing market has once again become a hot pot at boilingpoint. Even with allowance(津贴) and special government policies, home prices in China's first-tier cities such as Beijing and Shanghai are riding the crest(波峰)of a rising wave. According to the "2010 China Marital Status Report" released on Dec 15, 2010, about 70 percent of women interviewed said that housing, a stable income and some savings were the main requirements for marriage.From the report, we can see that housing is given top priority(优先权) and that women see an apartment as essential(必不可少的) to show that the man is responsible and can provide for his family.Personality and morals lay outside the top three matrimonial (婚姻的)requirements. Some women and their families hold the traditional position and take it for granted that the home issue should be the man's responsibility, which doesn’t agree with the contemporary independent spirit of women and gender equality. These marriage values reflect the fact that many women consider marriage another form of "social welfare".Things may be different overseas. Social housing, provided by European authorities, offer the less wealthy people their own piece of real estate. Such housing is usually apartments in tall buildings with 10 or more floors on the outskirts of town, whose main advantage is the low rents.For many Americans, houses don't become an obstacle to getting married. They often buy a house after the wedding, because more and more people are reconsidering their real estate worship, and going back to a more rational(理性的) mode of consumption.In Japan, renting is the custom for newly married young couples. Few young couples can afford to purchase property. Up to 67.1 percent of young couples choose to rent. Generally speaking, renters account for most people younger than 40 in Japan.Young people should be free to enjoy being young, without the huge pressure of trying to buy property. Society should help create an environment for them to grow up. Don't let the poor bachelor group become a suffering layer(层) of our society.66. Which of the following is Not True according to the text?A. Home prices have been extremely high since early 2009.B. In the modern society, women don’t want to be independent.C. Chinese government has already done something to control home prices.D. Lots of Chinese young men couldn’t get married b ecause of their economiccapability.67. What does the underlined word “outskirts” probably mean?A. urban areasB. rural areas(乡下)C. suburbs (郊区)D. downtown areas68. Why do many women take housing as one of the main requirements for marriage?A. Because they can’t afford a house.B. Because they enjoy their social welfare.C. Because their families want them to marry men with houses.D. Because they think it’s a symbol of the men’s sense of responsibility.69. The author uses the examples of European countries, America and Japan toshow that __________?A. new couples in those countries like to rent housesB. the situation is different in some foreign countriesC. it’s better to live in those countries than live in ChinaD. their governments have done more than Chinese government70. The last paragraph is mainly about the author’s hope that __________?A. the society can develop rapidlyB. young people can lead a happy lifeC. all the young people can afford housesD. the poor bachelors can become rich and enjoy their lifePart IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Scientists, doctors and mental health professionals have been studying the connection between color and mood for years. Many now believe that colors can not only cause emotional reactions, but can also correct mood. Colors behave in three basic ways: active, passive and neutral (中和的).Active colors are warm colors, including yellow, orange and red. These colors bring confidence. Warm colors can also bring cheerful attitudes. Yellows and golden colors work well in offices, kitchens and study areas. Reds heat up a room. Passive colors or cool colors make people calm, quiet and satisfied. Bedrooms, private areas and bathrooms are great places for blues and greens. Beige, gray and white are thought of as neutral colors. They help to put the focus on other colors or serve to tone down (使柔和) colors that might otherwise be overpowering on their own.You can easily change the look or feel of a room by making good use of different colors. Mixing and matching colors is an excellent way to balance color and emotion, and provide a welcoming feel for guests.To create a feeling of warmth and comfort in a room, use bright, warm colors like yellow, orange and red. These colors are good choices for rooms that appear cool due to limited sunlight. Yellow adds cheerfulness to dull rooms. You can add yellows to rooms which are not closely related to happy thoughts, such as kitchens and laundry room. In rooms where there’s plenty of sunshine, cool colors can provide a calming environment. Sage greens and sky blues are perfect for bedrooms, playrooms and activity areas. Neutral colors, such as pale gray, white and beige, send a peaceful message to your brain. It’s not a coincidence that most doctor’s offices, coffee shops and mental health centers are decorated in neutrals.To make your wall color choices better, pick out furniture that will provide a visual contrast. Cool colors make a room seem larger than it is and warm colors make rooms feel smaller.Title: The Connection Between 71.____________Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.We’re told that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and dinner is the most enjoyable because it is a chance to spend time with the family. But what about lunch? Few people take time to enjoy this midday meal. Most of us just rush right through it. They catch a quick salad, or buy a sandwich and eat at their computers. Sometimes, they just skip lunch.The development of the technology hasn’t done our eating habits much good, either. We’re often distracted (分心) by e-mail, social media, and 24-hour news. Even when we do sit down for lunch, we are more connected to our handy electronic devices than ourselves.Unluckily, long working hours can cause all kinds of health problems. Because of this, many developed countries have passed labor laws about the lunch break. These laws give workers the right to take a break during long work.A study shows that long lunch breaks are good for both individuals and society. It says that taking a lunch break can help one slow down and gain new ideas. A break from work allows us to think strategically. Especially, when we sit down at a restaurant and chat happily with workmates, we’re more likely to relax and be full of energy again.Frank Partnoy, a former Wall Street trader, says that bosses should encourage workers to take time off for lunch.However, some workers are unwilling to take time off for lunch. Partnoy’s suggestion makes skipping lunch difficult. Bosses could demand workers to fill out a form saying why they want to skip the meal.81. Which does the passage focus on, breakfast, lunch or dinner? (Within 4 words)___________________________________________82. Why is dinner considered the most enjoyable? (Within 11 words)___________________________________________83. What is the purpose of many developed countries’ passing labor laws about the lunch break?___________________________________________ (Within 15 words)84.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.A"My dream has come true.I have always wanted to be a Grand Slam 〔大满贯〕 champion." These are the words of the Chinese tennis player Li Na after she became the first Asian woman to win the Australian Open final on Jan.25th.2014."People were saying I'm getting old.So this is a great success for such an old woman." the 32-year-old girl joked.Miss Li has a tattoo 〔文身〕. She has dyed her hair many different colors.And, at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, she told her fans to "shut up" when they got too noisy in their support.Li Na was born in Wuhan.She started to play tennis at the age of 6.She once recalled: "As a child. I suffered a lot because every day I had to wake up early to practice.After school I had to practice more.I didn't have time to play."Luckily, the strong girl didn't give up. thus making history for Chinese tennis time after time.Now the new champion is already thinking about winning another Grand Slam title."When you have one title, surely you will think about another," she says. not hiding her ambition. "Chinese people are so lacking in confidence on the tennis court.If there is a person like me who can prove we Chinese can do it, the other young players in China will feel the same." she said.56.

The passage mainly tells us _____.A.something about the tennisB.something about how to play tennisC.the Chinese people and the tennisD.the Grand Slam champion—Li NaBLearn to Communicate with OthersTalking to Teachers—Teachers are just people behind the desk, living breathing human beings. And they will probably be friendly to people who talk nicely to them. Teachers also seem to get along better with children who take schoolwork seriously and prepare for class. And, just like any other human being, teachers like to be appreciated. The next time your teacher helps you solve a math problem or figure outa science project, say thank you with a smile.Talking to Parents—Parents can be very supportiveif their children ask for help. If you think there’s something your parents can do t o help you feel more comfortable around people, then ask them. Very often, parents want very much to help, but really don’t know what to do. Pick a quiet time of the day and ask to talk. Tell them how you feel. Maybe they had the same trouble when they were kids.Talking to Strangers—This is always a tough one. How do you deal with a neighbor, or the mail carrier? That often seems to cause arguments between kids and parents. The answer to these questions will varyfrom kid to kid, from parent to parent because all cultures are different. Some folks live in small towns where a hello to everyone is ok. Then there are kids who live in the city who may have been taught not to speak to anyone they don’t know. If you’re having trouble with this and always feel awkward in these kinds of situations, you might want to talk to your parents or a teacher about it.61. From the first paragraph we may learn that teachers dislike______.A. being talked to nicelyB. their students to be serious with the schoolworkC. the students’ appreciationD. the students who are not ready for classes.62.

It’s hard to say because cu ltures are different.CIs it necessary for a young man to have an apartment as a prerequisite〔先决条件〕 for marriage? Housing has become a major obstacle〔障碍〕 for Chinese young men hoping to start a family. China may breed a new group of bachelors, men caught in the trap of unaffordable houses.Since early 2009, the housing market has once again become a hot pot at boiling point. Evenwith allowance〔津贴〕 and special government policies, home prices in China's first-tier cities such as Beijing and Shanghai are riding the crest〔波峰〕of a rising wave. According to the "2010 China Marital Status Report" released on Dec 15, 2010, about 70 percent of women interviewed said that housing, a stable income and some savings were the main requirements for marriage.From the report, we can see that housing is given top priority〔优先权〕 and that women see an apartment as essential(必不可少的) to show that the man is responsible and can provide for his family.Personality and morals lay outside the top three matrimonial 〔婚姻的〕requirements. Some women and their families hold the traditional position and take it for granted that the home issue should be the man's responsibility, which doesn’t agree with the contemporary independent spirit of women and gender equality. These marriage values reflect the fact that many women consider marriage another form of "social welfare".Things may be different overseas. Social housing, provided by European authorities, offer the less wealthy people their own piece of real estate. Such housing is usually apartments in tall buildings with 10 or more floors on the outskirts of town, whose main advantage is the low rents.For many Americans, houses don't become an obstacle to getting married. They often buy a house after the wedding, because more and more people are reconsidering their real estate worship, and going back to a more rational(理性的) mode of consumption.In Japan, renting is the custom for newly married young couples. Few young couples can afford to purchase property. Up to 67.1 percent of young couples choose to rent. Generally speaking, renters account for most people younger than 40 inJapan.Young people should be free to enjoy being young, without the huge pressure of trying to buy property. Society should help create an environment for them to grow up. Don't let the poor bachelor group become a suffering layer〔层〕 of our society.66. Which of the following is Not True according to the text?A. Home prices have been extremely high since early 2009.B. In the modern society, women don’t want to be independent.C. Chinese government has already done something to control home prices.D. Lots of Chinese young men couldn’t get married because of their economic capability.67. What does the underlined word “outskirts〞 probably mean?A. urban areasB. rural areas〔乡下〕C. suburbs (郊区)D. downtown areas68. Why do many women take housing as one of the main requirements for marriage?A. Because they can’t afford a house.B. Because they enjoy their social welfare.C. Because their families want them to marry men with houses.D. Because they think it’s a symbol of the men’s sense of responsibility.69. The author uses the examples of European countries, America and Japan to show that__________?A. new couples in those countries like to rent housesB. the situation is different in some foreign countriesC. it’s better to live in those countries than live in ChinaD. their governments have done more than Chinese government70. The last paragraph is mainly about the auth or’s hope that __________?A. the society can develop rapidlyB. young people can lead a happy lifeC. all the young people can afford housesD. the poor bachelors can become rich and enjoy their lifePart IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Scientists, doctors and mental health professionals have been studying the connection between color and mood for years. Many now believe that colors can not only cause emotional reactions, but can also correct mood. Colors behave in three basic ways: active, passive and neutral (中和的).Active colors are warm colors, including yellow, orange and red. These colors bring confidence. Warm colors can also bring cheerful attitudes. Yellows and golden colors work well in offices, kitchens and study areas. Reds heat up a room. Passive colors or cool colors make people calm, quiet and satisfied. Bedrooms, private areas and bathrooms are great places for blues and greens. Beige, gray and white are thought of as neutral colors. They help to put the focus on other colors or serve to tone down (使柔和) colors that might otherwise be overpowering on their own.You can easily change the look or feel of a room by making good use of different colors. Mixing and matching colors is an excellent way to balance color and emotion, and provide a welcoming feel for guests.To create a feeling of warmth and comfort in a room, use bright, warm colors like yellow, orange and red. These colors are good choices for rooms that appear cool due to limited sunlight. Yellow adds cheerfulness to dull rooms. You can add yellows to rooms which are not closely related to happy thoughts, su ch as kitchens and laundry room. In rooms where there’s plenty of sunshine, cool colors can provide a calming environment. Sage greens and sky blues are perfect for bedrooms, playrooms and activity areas. Neutral colors, such as pale gray, white and beige, send a peaceful message to your brain. It’s not a coincidence that most doctor’s offices, coffee shops and mental health centers are decorated in neutrals.To make your wall color choices better, pick out furniture that will provide a visual contrast. Cool colors make a room seem larger than it is and warm colors make rooms feel smaller.Title: The Connection Between 71.____________Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.We’re told that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and dinner is the most enjoyable because it is a chance to spend time with the family. But what about lunch? Few people take time to enjoy this midday meal. Most of us just rush right through it. They catch a quick salad, or buy a sandwich and eat at their computers. Sometimes, they just skip lunch.The development of the technology hasn’t done our eating habits much good, either. We’re often distracted (分心) by e-mail, social media, and 24-hour news. Even when we do sit down for lunch, we are more connected to our handy electronic devices than ourselves.Unluckily, long working hours can cause all kinds of health problems. Because of this, many developed countries have passed labor laws about the lunch break. These laws give workers the right to take a break during long work.A study shows that long lunch breaks are good for both individuals and society. It says that taking a lunch break can help one slow down and gain new ideas. A break from work allows us to think strategically. Especially, when we sit down at a restaurant and chat happily with workmates, we’re more likely to relax and be full of energy again.Frank Partnoy, a former Wall Street trader, says that bosses should encourage workers to take time off for lunch.However, some workers are unwilling to take time off for lunch. Partnoy’s suggestion makes skipping lunch difficult. Bosses could demand workers to fill out a form saying why they want to skip the meal.81. Which does the passage focus on, breakfast, lunch or dinner? (Within 4 words)___________________________________________82. Why is dinner considered the most enjoyable? (Within 11 words)___________________________________________83. What is the purpose of many developed countries’ passing labor laws about the lunch break? ___________________________________________ (Within 15 words)84.

Even with parents and doctors working together without schools’ help, it is very hard to get rid of the disability. Sadly, even today, there are any schools that don’t know how to deal with the children with these disabilities.Fairfield Priary School is a good place for children that have been diagnosed with ADHD. The teachers really care about all of their students and they are willing to work with parents and doctors in order to help these children. When they see the child want to act up(捣蛋) in class, they usually give the child soething physical to do in order to get rid of the excess(过多的) energy. They never punish the child for soething that is beyond thechild’s control.Overall, Fairfield Priary School has all of things that a child with ADHD needs.

Actually, it’s the way we understand it, or ore correctly put the way we judge the event that atters. When we judge an event as positive to us, we have a positive eotion. If we judge the event to be soething negative, the eotion we generate is negative.Our ability to judge how events will eventually work out has been proven scientifically to be at best 60% correct and in ost cases less than 30%. That eans we have only a 30 to 40 percent chance of being right in hoe judge soething. The truth is that we are very poorly equipped to judge the consequences of events accurately.Every day soe people tell us that unfortunate events, disease or a lot of negative experiences were the best things that could have happened to the. Now of course soe of you ay say these people were optiistic and just retell the event to find a good way of looking at it. This way of looking at it is issing the point.If judging things is what causes us to label the positive or negative and this in turn akes us happy or unhappy, then refusing to judge things as bad benefits us a lot.Peace of ind and happiness can be achieved by siply accepting soethingthat is totally true.

Coplete the notes by using the inforation for the passage. Write NO ORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer. (10 points)Happiness is an eotion which is characterized by a feeling of absolute satisfaction. It is the feeling of being where you should be, getting what you want and needing little else.It is easy to confuse happiness with pleasure. But the two aren’t one. Pleasure is intense and continues for a short tie. Happiness lasts longer. Pleasure can result fro any nuber of happy experiences. For exaple you get pleasure fro eating your favorite chocolate or reading a fantastic book. Take away the experience and pleasure ends. On the other hand, happiness is the aggregate of a nuber of experiences.What akes a person happy? Different people get happiness in different ways. For soe, it coes fro having a good job or a satisfying relationship. For others, it c ould be the ability to deal with life’s challenges with calness. Whatever the source is, one thing is certain: happiness is an attitude. It is the way of thinking that enables you to interpret things in a positive way. It is that particular feeling that puts a sile on your face, for no apparent reason.Happiness affects every aspect of a person’s life. Happier people are generally ore successful, ore productive and ore balanced. They are healthierand stronger physically as well as eotionally. A happier person has a longer life, collects ore friends and has greater chances of developing successful relationships with those around hi.Happiness is the net result of any factors, of which 40% is within your control.

(10 points)Suer is a busy period for holiday travel. any people travel great distances in airplanes. Experts say people should know about soe health probles that can strike when traveling by air. One of these is a lack of oxygen to the brain called hypoxia(缺氧症). The body begins losing oxygen inutes after an airplane takes off. The air pressure in a plane during flight is lower than that at sea level. This akes it ore difficult for the body to effectively use the sae aount of oxygen as it would,on the ground. Fewer oxygen olecules(分子) cross the tissues in the lungs and reach the bloodstrea. The result is a five to twenty percent decrease in the aount of oxygen in the blood. This reduces the aount of oxygen that reaches the organs of the body.One effect of this lack of oxygen to the brain is headache. When this happens, the heart attepts to fix the situation by beating harder and faster. This can ake the passenger feel tired.These signs of hypoxia are not dangerous in a healthy person. But a dropin oxygen level can cause a health eergency in people with heart or lung probles. They ight lose consciousness or even suffer a heart attack.Experts say that soking cigarettes and drinking alcohol also reduce the body’s ability to use oxygen. So they suggest people should not drink alcohol or soke cigarettes either before or during a flight. They warn that people with heart or lung probles should seek advice fro their doctor before flying.81. What causes hypoxia when we travel by air?

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A, B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.AUtopia is a perfect place. It is a place without war, hunger, poverty, or crime. It is a place where the people work together and share. There is no money in Utopia because the people do not need money. They do not have personal possessions because everything belongs to everyone. All of the people are equal in Utopia, and the laws are all fair.Utopia is not a new place. Plato, the ancient Greek philosopher, described a perfect society in his famous dialogue The Republic. In Plato‟s Republic, philosophers were the kings, and every person had a place in the society. In 1516, Sir Thomas More wrote about an island in the Pacific Ocean where everything was perfect. He named the island“ Utopia”. In 1602, Tommaso Campanella wrote The City in the Sun about a perfect community on the island of Ceylon ( now Sri Lanka ) ; and in 1872, Samuel Butler wrote a novel about a perfec t country which he named “ Erewhon”. “ Utopia” is a Greek word that means “ not a place”, and “ Erewhon” is the English word “ nowhere” spelled backwards.Utopia is a perfect place, but it is not a real place. Most …real‟ Utopias last only a short time. This is because everyone wants to live in it, but no one knows how to make it work. As a result, when we say something is … Utopia‟ today, we mean that it is a good idea, but it is not realistic.56. Which of the following would be the best t title for this passage?A. A place without warB. A Good IdeaC. A Perfect PlaceD. The Utopian Community57.

Chinese60.According to the passage, most …real‟ Utopias last only a short time because _______.A no one wants to be a leaderB no one knows how to make a perfect societyC it is difficult to collect moneyD everyone wants to live in UtopiaBAn explosion on Thursday killed one and injured 21 in a busy street in Tongren, Southwest China‟s Guizhou Province.The bomb was hidden in a rubbish bin in the city‟s commercial hub(商业中心),where lots of shops and restaurants are concentrated.The ear-splitting blast was heard around 12∶50 p.m.,said a local newspaper, citing witnesses. The power of the blast(爆炸)shattered nearby shop windows and ripped the stainless (不生锈的)steel rubbish can to pieces.One passer-by,identified(确认)only as Zhang,said she was shocked by the noise and saw a lot of pedestrians lying on the ground when she got to the scene.Thirteen of the injured were taken to a local hospital after the explosion. A doctor there said five were in serious condition but already out of danger after emergency treatment. The others were just slightly hurt.The cause of the explosion is still under investigation, said an officer with the Tongren police, but refused to speculate as to the cause.61.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. All the injured were taken to a hospitalB. 8 of the injured were not taken to a hospitalC. The rubbish bin with a bomb was in a restaurantD. The rubbish bin with a bomb was in a shop62.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. One passer- by, saw a man throwing a bomb into a bin.B.

Bomb Hidden in a Rubbish BinB. The Cause of the ExplosionC. A Terrible ThingD. Market Blast Kills 1 ,Injures 2165. The passage probably comes from________.A. a newspaperB. a diaryC. a story bookD. a surveyCWhen something goes wrong,it can be very satisfying to say,”Well, it‟s so-and-so‟s fault,”or “I know I‟m late,but it‟s not my fault;the car broke down”. It is probably not your fault,but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation,you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner‟s key to success.Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your workmate causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. You should accept the fact and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your workmate fails to do his job well.This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners also have some problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own abilities. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems arejust stepping stones for success.66. According to the passage, winners .A. deal with problems rather than blame othersB. meet with fewer difficulties in their livesC. have responsible and able colleaguesD. blame themselves rather than others67. The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _________ .A. avoidB. refuseC. improveD. consider68. When your colleague brings about a problem, you should .A. find a better way to handle the problemB. blame him for his lack of responsibilityC. tell him to find the cause of the problemD. ask a more able colleague for help69. When problems occur, winners take them asA. excuses for their failuresB. barriers to greater powerC. challenges to their colleaguesD. chances for self-development70. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. A Winner‟s Achievement.B. A Winner‟s Problem.C. A Winner‟s Opportunity.D. A Winner‟s Secret.Part IV Writing (45 marks)SECTION A(10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage.Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.People are increasingly discontent(不满的)with the rich people, as is said in a new online poll(投票). The poll by the China Youth Daily in cooperation with has highlighted(突出,强调)the apparent discontent over the country's widening income gap. Nearly 8,000 peoplefilled in online questionnaires last week, and when asked to use three words to describe society's rich, the top responses were "extravagant"(奢侈的), "greedy" and "corrupt”. About 57 percent of those polled said that "extravagant" was the best word to describe the rich, followed closely by "greedy”.Sarcastically(讽刺的是), despite their dissatisfaction, 93 percent of those polled wished they could be rich too, and that richer people should be "socially responsible”. Some 33 percent of respondents also praised rich people for being "smart”. Nearly 90 percent of responde nts agreed that most people in society, including themselves, were willing to speak up for the poor but were reluctant to take action and actually do something for them.The survey comes on the heels of a heated debate over comments made by renowned econo mist Mao Yushi, who said he was "speaking for the rich and working for the poor”. A report released by the Asian Development Bank last Wednesday revealed that China's Gini coefficient —— an indicator of the wealth divide —— rose from 0.407 in 1993 to 0.473 in 2004.An earlier CASS report said that the richest 10 percent of Chinese families now own more than 40 percent of all private assets, while the poorest 10 percent share less than 2 percent of the total wealth. The income disparity(不一致、差异)of the country is close to that of Latin America, the report which came out in January, said.It is hoped that the richer should be more socially responsible to give aid to those who need help to make this income disparity smaller and smaller and that the poorer should have a friendlier attitude towards the rich.I. 71.___________People are more and more discontent with the rich people.II.

Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit.In my dual(双重的)profession as an educator and health care provider, I have worked with numerous children infected with the virus that causes AIDS. The relationships that I have had with these special kids have been gifts in my life.They have taught me so many things,but I have especially learned that great courage can be found in the smallest of packages.Let me tell you about Tyler.Tyler was born infected with HIV;his mother was also infected. From the very beginning of his life, he was dependent on medications(药物)to enable him to survive. When he was five, he had a tube surgically inserted in a vein in his chest. This tube was connected to a pump, which he carried in a small backpack on his back.Medications were hooked up to this pump and were continuously supplied through this tube to his bloodstream. At times, he also needed supplemented oxygen to support his breathing.Tyler wasn't willing to give up one single moment of his childhood to this deadly disease. It was not unusual to find him playing and racing around his backyard,wearing his medicine-laden backpack and dragging his tank of oxygen behind him in his little wagon. All of us who knew Tyler marveled at his pure joy in being alive and the energy it gave him. Tyler's mom often teased him by telling him that he moved so fast she needed to dress him in red. That way, when she peered through the window to check on him playing in the yard,she could quickly spot him.This dreaded disease eventually wore down even the likes of a little dynamo like Tyler.Hegrew quite ill and,unfortunately,so did his HIV-infected mother.When it became apparent that he wasn't going to survive,Tyler's mom talked to him about death.She comforted him by telling Tyler that she was dying too,and that s he would be with him soon in heaven.A few days before his death,Tyler beckoned10) me over to his hospital bed and whispered,“I might die soon.I'm not scared.When I die,please dress me in red.Mom promised she's coming to heaven,too.I'll be playing when she gets there,and I want to make sure she can find me.”81.
