A
I really hadn't meant to yell（吼叫）at them．But that grey afternoon saw it just as my son and daughter were making a terrible mess on the floor in the kitchen．
With a tiresome report to write，I felt bothered at my desk．Suddenly．it occurred to rile that my kids were at fault．A voice inside me insisted that I do something quickly．
“OK，you two here．but what an awful thing you are attempting!” shouting angrily．I made for them，while it became evident that the boy
wanted no part of me．“Get away from us!” he shouted back，there being expression of support from his sister．
All of a sudden，I found the fault in myself．Quickly I shaped my hands into pincers（螃蟹螯）and crawled towards them，“Crabby（似螃蟹的）Daddy is here Ha，Ha，Ha，he likes to yell at children，and then eat them!” My son continued to keep me away，but now he was laughing and crying at the same time．My mission to repair the damage caused by my yelling seemed to work well．Still，I regretted not having controlled myself first in a right way that my children could do after．
Need I let them know how badly they were acting by blaming? This is a lesson that serves myself．It only shows just how to get rid of something （ill-feelings，responsibility…）by blaming others．It's not my “best self”．
W e have to search for our “best self” when with our children．They don't need perfect parents，but they do need parents who are always trying to get better．Here，I'm reminded of the words of a great thinker，“When a man lives with God，his voice shall be as sweet as the murmur of the brook…” Then，in our lifetime，couldn't we always speak to our kids in such a sweet voice since，most of us consider them as the most precious in the world? And before we reach this level，what should we do when we come across various difficult cases with our children?
56．The author couldn't help yelling at his kids this time probably because ．
A．the weather was so unpleasant B．he was tired of his boring work
C．the kids didn't ask him to join them D．a Daddy has his right to do so
57．Which of the following made the author aware of his fault?
A．No obvious reason．B．The boy's yelling back．
C．His self-awareness．D．The girl's expression．58．According to the passage the author will in another similar situation．
A．play a crab again like this time B．apologize to kids in a sincere way
C．avoid blaming kids in a hurry D．beat them up about such things
59．What will the writer go on to write about in the next paragraph （s）?
A．How to behave ourselves properly when kids are at fault．
B．How to blame our children in a more interesting way．
C．How to deal with the terrible mess made by our kids．
D．How to persuade children to do what they are told to．

A four-year-old girls wowing（博得……称赞）the New York art world
with paintings that are drawing comparisons with Jackson Pollock and Wasaily Kandinsky．Marla Olmstead，from Binghamton，in New York State，has been painting since just before she was two years old．Using brushes，spatulas，her fingers and even ketchup bottles，she is creating canvases（画布）of six by six foot．The prodigy（神童）has already sold about 25 paintings，raising $ 40,000 and a new exhibition opens this week．
Father Mark, speaking to reporters while on a trip to New York city to do television interviews，said，“She does her own thing, she uses a lot of paint but is oblivious（不在意）to the whole thing．” He said she had first started painting shortly before her second birthday as her father tried to stop her distracting him from his own amateur art．“She went at it with all colors．At first she directed me, and then it evolved to the canvas．I’m her assistant，I hand her the brushes．She doesn’t appreciate that most artists have to wait longer to have an assistant，” he joked．
Gallery owner Anthony Brunelli said of 10 pieces about to go on show，six were already sold，and that the remaining four could fetch between $8000 ~ 10,000．He said Marla's work was unbelievable for a child．“Her paintings have bright colors．They’re very expressive in the way the paint is applied．”
Mr. Brunelli's assessme nts of Marla’s future as an adult artist are cautious．But he said，“You never can tell．I’ve seen her progressing over the past year．The four she just did，each one gets better．”60．When the passage was written，Marla Olmstead had been painting for about ．
A．four years B．three years C．two years
D．one year
61．According to the passage，we know that Marla Olmstead's painting skills are instructed by ________．
A．herself B．her father
C．Wassily Kandinsky D．Jackson Pollock
62．Most people who see Marla Olmstead's pictures will feel _______．A．sad B．dull C．angry D．happy 63．According to the passage, we can infer that ______．A．Marla Olmstead began painting under the influence of her father B．Anthony Brunelli is certain about Marla Olmstead’s future
C．Marla Olmstead is considered the prodigy because of her earned money D．Marla Olmstead shocks the New York art world because of her age C
An American researcher has developed a simple device to help people stop snoring．The device limits the movements of the tissues that cause the unpopular sound．Snoring is a common problem．It may prevent a person from getting enough sleep．It may also prevent enough oxygen from reaching
heart and lungs during sleep．But for most people，snoring affects relations with another person who must sleep in the same room．Snoring happens when the sleeping person breathes with the mouth open．In the back of the mouth the tissues surrounding the entrance of the throat are soft．As the person breathes，the movement of the air around the soft tissues causes them to move or vibrate．This tissue movement causes the sound we call snoring．A number of possible solutions have been proposed．Some devices keep the mouth shut．They force the patient to breathe only through the nose．A medical operation is also possible．Other devices catch the sound of snoring and then wake the patient．The new anti snoring device was developed by a dentist，George Wagner of the Indian University School of Dentistry．He developed a piece of plastic that fits up against the inside of the mouth．The device keeps the soft tissues from vibrating and making the snoring noise．It is worn only at night．Doctor Wagner said that the simple device has ended several patients’ snoring problem in a simple way．
64．The underlined word “snoring”（in Paragraph 1）probably
means________．
A．speaking while one sleeps B．dreaming while one sleeps C．noises made while one sleeps D．sighs given while one sleeps
65．Snoring happens ．
A．when dreaming at night，even during the day
B．when breathing with one's mouth closed
C．when sleeping with one's mouth open
D．when being poor in health
66．From the passage we know that the simplest and most efficient way to prevent a person from snoring is ．
A．to keep the soft tissues from vibrating
B．to give patient a medical operation
C．to wake him/her up as soon as he/she snores
D．to make him/her listen to the sound of snoring
67．How many possible solutions to snoring have been proposed in the passage?
A．Two． B．Three．C．Four．D．Five．
D
Two thirds of the singles looking for love in Britain turned to the Internet last year，according to figures made in public yesterday．Special sites offer introductions to smokers，to Roman Catholics，tall people，beautiful people，frequent flyers and vegans（素食者）．Technology has brought about a great change in the dating game．
A survey by Parship，a British branch of Europe's largest dating service with more than 1.5 million members，says that 65 percent of the 5.4 million Britons looking for a relationship used online dating
services last year．
A spokeswoman for Relate，the relationship advisor，confirmed that a figure of two thirds feel it all right．“Doing it online allows people quite a lot of privacy，because they can do a bit of quiet research and took around from the comfort of their own home．You don't have to meet a middleman or go to an actual dating agency office，which takes a lot of courage，” she said．
There are more than 100 independent online dating agencies in Britain．Parship says that 50 per cent of single people believe they will meet a suitable partner through the Internet，up from 35 per cent six months ago．
Mary Balfour，the founder，says that the Internet has changed the dating industry completely．“It’s like a return to old-fashioned love letters，” she said．“You don't base your initial judgment on how someone looks or what his or her figure is like．You e-mail or talk before you actually see each other．Everybody you know who is single these days has at least had a good look at a dating website，introduction agency or personal ad．They have t0，because all the old match-making institutions have gone．People work harder，settle down later and live more isolated lives．They're much more likely to end the day with a DVD and a can of beer than by going to a village dance．”
68．Singles in Britain can look for love online mainly because of
．
A．Parship B．the help of go-betweens
C．technology D．the revolution of dating game 69．About Britons tried to find love online last year according to this passage．
A．1.5million B．3.5million C．5.4million
D．65million
70．From this passage we can infer that ．
A．not all single people believe the Internet can help them find their partners
B．looking for love online needs a lot of courage
C．old-fashioned love letters become popular again
D．single people don't like to look for their partners online 71．The main idea of this passage is that ．
A．young men like to surf the Internet
B．singles are searching for love online
C．surfing online for a lover is dangerous
D．people should avoid the old ways of dating

Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good，most would admit that their spoken English is poor．Whenever I speak to a Chinese student they always say，“My spoken
English is poor．” However，their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”! I would like to suggest that there may be sortie reasons for their problems with spoken English．
First，they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary．Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary．However，you can speak with a limited vocabulary，if your attitude is positive．Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know．
Second，they are afraid of making mistakes．Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous．Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY．Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly．However，in speaking your aim is fluency．You want to get your message across，to talk to someone in English，as quickly and as well as you can，even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense，but it doesn't matter because the person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears．
The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening．You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing was necessary for you to start speaking．
Forth，most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners．Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor．If you have this proactive outlook，then you will see English opportunities wherever you go．
If you do not use your English beyond the classroom you will forget what English you know．Remember：USE IT OR LOSE IT! You can learn how to speak English better by speaking English more．
72．What is most probably the writer's purpose in writing the passage?
A．To improve your reading．B．To improve you listening．
C．To improve your spoken English．D．To improve your vocabulary．
73．It can be inferred from the third paragraph that
A．don't be fluency．Just be accuracy．
B．don't be nervous，don't be shy．Just write!
C．don't be afraid of making mistakes．Just speak!
D．don't be shy，don't be fluency．Just listen and write!
74．The last paragraph is possibly close to the meaning of “”．
A．more hurry，less speed B．better late than never C．silence is gold D．practice makes perfect
75．The text is most probably taken from a ．
A．teacher's diary B．report on study
C．sports newspaper D．movie magazine

书面表达：
Nowadays，more and more middle school students are crazy about famous stars．Recently our class have had a heated discussion about whether middle school students should admire famous stars．
60％of the students approve of the idea of admiring famous stars．They believe if they talk about famous stars they like，they can feel excited，happy and relaxed．Some even think famous stars have some talents and have become their models．Besides，they think only by admiring famous stars can they he up to date with the fashion and have a better grasp of more social cultures．
However．some other students argue against that．They think some students admire famous stars so much that they have their names on their faces or copy the life styles of stars，which costs them a lot of money and wastes them a lot of time．So being crazy about famous stars will make them lost．Worse still，some students even follow the bad examples of the stars．It follows that they fall into bad habits．In my opinion，it's really ridiculous for students to have such kind
of behavior．Everyone is unique and there is no point in copying anyone else，however famous they are．

M：Well，actually，I'd prefer something bigger if that's possible．W：Yes，I think so．Here's an interesting one．It's opposite the park．M：How much is it?
W：It's three hundred a month．It's the biggest flat we've got in this area．
M：What’s it like?
W：Well，there are two bedrooms，a sitting room，a kitchen and a bathroom．
M：It sounds very interesting．Can I go and see it?
W：Of course，sir．Can I have your name and address?

M：So，what do you want to do tomorrow?
W：Well，let's look at this city guide here．（okay!）Uh，here's something
interesting．（Oh!）Why don't we first visit the art museum in
the morning?
M：Okay．I like that idea．And where do you want to eat lunch?
W：How about going to an Indian restaurant? （Humm．）The guide recommends one downtown a few blocks from the museum．M：Now that sounds great．After that，what do you think about visiting the zoo? （Oh…umm…well…）Well，it says here that there are some
very unique animals not found anywhere else．
W：Well，to tell you the truth，I'm not really interested in going there．（really?）Yeah．Why don't we go shopping instead? There
are supposed to be some really nice places to pick up souvenirs．M：Nah，I don't think that's a good idea．We only have a few travelers checks left，and I only have fifty dollars left in cash．W：No problem．We can use your credit card to pay for my new clothes．M：Oh，no．I remember the last time you used my credit card for your purchases．
W：Oh well．Let's take the subway down to the seashore and walk along the beach．
M：Now that sounds like a wonderful plan．
