Just then he heard light, hesitant 22 on his door that were clearly audible (听到) in the 23 night.“Who’s it?” he wondered, since Terry was a 24 to this city. And this was the moment he especially hated to be 25 , so he went to the door and opened it 26 . At the door was a little girl, shyly asking, “Sir, do you have candles? I’m your neighbor.” “No,” answered Terry in anger and shut the door 27 . “What a nuisance（讨厌）!” he complained over it with his wife. “No sooner had we settled down than the neighbor came to 28 things.”After a while, the door was knocked again.

There animals are spread widely across India in open areas and grsassland; they often live in the earth and between rocks. They are good diggers, and in Ranthambhore are nocurnal; they only come out only at night. They weigh 12 to 16 kilograms and can reach lenghs of 80 t0 90 centimeters. They live usually on vegetables and fruits and seem to have a good sense of smell. Porcupines defend themselves when attacked by moving backwards with their quill upright, often making a strange noise.Several times, I have found the remains of quills where a tiger has killed and eaten a porcupine, but I have never actually seen the kill. In spite of the quills, experienced tigers will try to kill cleanly by biting the porcupine’s head, its weakest spot. But the quills are very sharp and can give painful injuries to young tigers.If the quills have gone in very deep or if they are stuck in the tiger’s paw, it will try to pull them out. Often, it will be successful, and the wound will get better, But, if the quills have gone very deep or if they are stuck in the tiger’s neck or mouth, where they cannot be reached, the wound will often turn bad. If this happens, the tiger is in pain and is less able to hunt animals. It has to look for easier food and so may turn to cows on the edges of the forest. From this, it is a small step to becoming a man-eater.36. A porcupine is a small animal which_________________.A. likes to fight against tigersB. is a kind of good food for tigersC. prefers to stay on vegetables and fruit rather than anywhere elseD. has vegetables and fruit as its main food37. The word ‘quills’ means __________.A. long, sharp needle-like parts on a porcupineB. feathers on a porcupineC. teeth of a porcupineD. feet of aporcupine38. What causes a tiger to become a man-eater according to this passage?A. When there are no porcupines for a tiger to catchB. When a tiger isn’t hurt seriously.C. When it is difficult for a tiger to catch other animals.D. When it turns to cows on the edges of the forest.39. What is the proper title for this passage?A. A porcupineB. How a Tiger kills a Porcupine?C. What Can Cause a Tiger to Become a Man-eater?D. A Tiger and its FoodB.This is a time of year when we think about giving and receiving presents. Can you find a little extra to give? On this page we suggest a few organizations you might like to help.Littleton Children’s HomeWe DON’T want your money, but children’s toys, books and clothes IN GOOD CONDITION would be very welcome.Also, we are looking for friendly families who would take our children into their homes for a few hours or days as guests.

Why? How?As we approached the home that stood in the center of the property, We saw a sign：ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS I KNOW YOUAREASKING．The first，answer was：ONE WOMAN -TWO HANDS，TWO FEET AND VERY LITTLE BRAIN。

During my latest book cleaning adventure ，I found one that had fallen behind the shelf:“Tales of Edgar Allan Poe ．”Not an unusual title ，but the words written on the first page made it very special “With Love from Mom and Dad ，Christmas 1965．” What ’s this? A book on the physics of lasers （激光）．It is filled with mathematical statements ，and I had bought it at a library sale when I was 12，not long after the laser had been invented ．I couldn ’t understand a bit of it ，but I did learn what ―laser ‖meant ．What I end up with when I empty my bookshelves is a cross-section （横剖面）of my personal history.

The country could not produce and pay for all the things it wanted.To make a long story short, we Americans have serious problems in keeping down spending and keeping up personal savings．It is high time for us American people to learn the basics of long-term money management.68．According to the author, what is a main reason for Americans to overspend？A．Americans buy a lot of foreign products．B．It is easy for Americans to manage their debts．C．Borrowing money has become a simple matter．D．Americans have more extra money than before．69．Ford Motor Credit lengthens 45％of its lending to 60 months in order to_______．A．help more Americans to settle their debts B．encourage people to buy foreign cars C．make better use of its money D．attract more customers70．What does the author suggestas a way to deal with overborrowing?A．Teaching people how to manage money．B．Advising people on what to buy．C．Limiting the use of credit cards．D．Reducing average incomes．71．Which of the following points does the author wish to make?A．America should sell more of its products abroad．B．A healthy society has to learn to 1ive within its means．C．People’s income determines their money management．D．Govemment should prevent people from overborrowing．EEvery person leaves a footprint. That’s what I learnt when I started to work as a private investigator 10 years ago．People pay restaurant bills with their bank card，check into hotels or travel around. In every case，they leave a trace．And because of this，I’m able to track them down even when they don’t want to be found．The first thing I do when I want to find out where someone is staying is to go to the neighbourhood where he used to live．It’s human nature to tell stories—which is why neighbours will tell me all they know when I ring at their houses．Sometimes，someone even talks about his fri end’s dishonesty．Then I produce a pattern of my subject’s life：if he likes to have a holiday in Spain or in Italy，if he prefers two- or three- star hotels and where he might hide his assets(资产)．When I’ve got this life pattern，I start my research．Nine times out of l0，I find the people I’m looking for．I once investigated a lorry supplier who owed ￡500,000 to a subcontractor(分包商)．The subcontractor wanted to find out if it was worth bringing charges against the supplier．I found out the supplier had moved assets to his son，who founded a new company offering the same product．It was a11 done within the law．There was no money to be got from that operation．However, I asked the son if I could speak to his father and he told me that his parent was on a long holiday in Spain and wouldn’t be back for a while．It didn’t take me long to find out that the father wasn’t in Spain．I went back to the son and this time he told me that his father might be in Bulgaria,and I found him doing winter sports in a beautiful mountain area．He was 1iving in a big house on a 1arge piece of land he had bought for￡400，000．This was exactly the kind of asset my customer was loooking for．72．We learn from the text that a private investigator is one who_______.A．follows people reports on what they do B．helps people start businessesC．gives advice to people about the law D．settles arguments between companies 73．Why does the author visit the place where his subject used to stay？A．To find out his hidden assets．B．To gather information about him．C．To discover why he is dishonest．D．To find out where he spends his holiday．74．The lorry supplier moved his assets to his son in oder to______．A．pass on his debt to his son B．double the business of his companyC．le t his son take over his lorry business D．prevent paying back the money he owed 75．We may infer from the text that the subcontractor might______.A．bring charges against the lorry supplier’s son B．give up hope of settling the debt C．sell the big house in Bulgaria D．get his money back第Ⅱ卷第一节：短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。

We shared as he was still working on saving enough money to 26 one of his own just like mine, As we headed down the embankment（河堤）, he 27 and fell down with my fishing pole in hand.

The people living here want to let their dog play outsideand ensure it won't run into the street. So, they hired acompany to set up an "invisible fence" an electric wireburied in the ground around the yard. The dog wears aspecial collar and when it walks near to the "fence", thewire will send out a small shock. The dog quickly learnsto stay away from the edge of the yard. As it says at the bottom of the sign, the fence will keep your dog "safe" (away from the street) and "at home" (contained inside the yard).The small word "BRAND" printed in blue means that "Invisible Fence" is registered as the company's brand name. Similarly, the "TM" printed after "your dog safe at home" stands for "trade mark", a slogan registered specifically to one company.41．The people set up an "invisible fence " ______.A．to let their dog play outside their houseB．to keep their dog away from the edge of the yardC．to keep their dog inside their yardD．to warn others not to enter their house42．Which of the following is NOT true about the "invisible fence"?A．The fence does not exist at all.B．The "invisible Fence" is a brand name of a company.C．Without the special collar, the fence won't work on the dog.D．Science and technology play an important part in it.43．The purpose of the passage is to _____.A．introduce a new product for your dogB．expand your knowledge of foreign cultureC．give a detailed explanation of the "invisible fence"D．help you understand the sign in the picture44．What can you infer from the passage?A．Dogs have become more and more clever.B．Companies place much value on trade marks nowadays.C．The sign is actually an advertisement of a certain company.D．The more advanced technology is, the less free dogs becomeBEach Indian tribe had a different language. Many Indians never learned any language except their own. Do you know how Indians from different tribes talked to each other? They had two ways to talk without sound. One way was by sign language; the other way by signals.Sign language is a way of talking by using signs. Indians used sign language when they met strangers. In this way, they could find out whether the stranger was a friend or an enemy. In Indian sign language, signs were made with the hands. One sign meant "man". Another meant "horse". To tell the time of the day when something happened, an Indian pointed to the sky. He showed where the sun had been at the time.Indians usually used signals when they wanted to send messages to someone far away. To make signals, an Indian might use a horse. He might use a blanket. Or he might use smoke, a mirror or fire arrows.To signal that he had seen many animals, an Indian rode his horse in a large circle. Sometimes the Indians gave a signal like this and then went away to hide. This meant that there was danger.The blanket signal was visible from far away. An Indian held the corners of a blanket in his hands. Then he began to wave the blanket from side to side in front of him. An Indian could send many different signals with his blanket.He could also send many signals with a mirror. He usually used the mirror to warn someone of danger. Or he tried to get the attention of a person far away. But he also used it to send messages in code. Of course, mirrors could be used only when the sun was shining. At night, Indians used fire arrows for signaling.An Indian also sent signals with smoke. He made a small fire of dry wood. Then he put grass or green branches on it. He held a blanket over the fire for a minute. When he removed the blanket from the fire, there was a cloud of smoke. The number of clouds of smoke told his message in code.Now you can see that Indians didn’t need to learn each other’s language. They could talk toone another by using signals or sign language.45．Which of the following is true?A．Indians sent signals with dry wood fires at night.B．When Indians wanted top say "sun", he pointed to the sky.C．Indians used sign language to find out whether a stranger was a friend or an enemy.D．When an Indian meant there was danger, he drew a big circle on the ground.46．An Indian used a mirror to ________.A．draw the attention of someone in the distanceB．send messages in codeC．warn someone of dangerD．all of the above47．The main idea of this passage is .A．talking by such means as signals and signsB．using signals to send messages to people far awayC．sending secret codes in the form of signs and signalsD．speaking in a certain language without having to makeCTragedy at the CircusIn yesterday’s circus show, a tiger suddenly attacked its trainer and had to be shot dead. As the circus packed up and left, circus officials said the show would go on, even without tigers.However, the officials can’t simply turn a blind eye to the ethical problems left behind. Even before this tragedy, animal rights activists protested against keeping wild animals in unnatural conditions and forcing them to suffer for the profit of circus organizers.It is now time for us to take effective steps to make sure that circus animals are treated properly.*******************************Circus Safe for AnimalsOur circus recently suffered a most tragic event in its history. While we are thankful for the pity from the public, we are also astonished by the opinion e xprssed in “Tragedy at the Circus.”First, our performing animals are not taken from the wild. As to the ethical problems, we always believe humans and animals can—and should—live together nicely. To us, the performing animals are representatives of their species, and our circus is one of the only places left willing to support this special role of performing animals in the existence of the species. Those who argue that circus life is harmful to animals show little knowledge of these facts. Life in the “wild”is unsafe, but a continuous struggle for existence. To overlook these reslities is the greatest fault against the animal kingdom.This circus has proven that animals are stronger and smarter than we could imagine. Within the circus is a joyful atmosphere for both animals and humans: people are educated, and species saved.48．What is the main purpose of the first passage?A．To show pity for the performing animals.B．To express worries about animal trainers' safety.C．To deal with the difficult situations of the circus.D．To call for action to protect circus animals.49．What will the circus most probably do?A．Take no notice of the tragedy. B．Continue its performances.C．Use fewer wild animals. D．Limit its profit.50．What does the circus think of its performing animals?A．They are as clever as human beings.B．They struggle continuously with human beings for existence.C．They are helpful in saving their species.D．They have equally natural living conditions as wild animals.51．What is the most probable relationship between the two passages?A．A public request and a newspaper report.B．A newspaper article and a reply to it.C．Two parts of a newspaper article.D．Two newspaper reports.DThe flag, the most common symbol of a nation in the modern world, is also one of the most ancient. With a clear symbolic meaning, the flag in the traditional form is still used today to mark buildings, ships and other vehicles related to a country.The national flag as we know it today is in no way a primitive artifact. It is, rather, the product of thousands of years' development. Historians believe that it had two major ancestors, of which the earlier served to show wind direction.Early human beings used very fragile houses and boats. Often strong winds would tear roofs from houses or cause high waves that endangered travelers. People's food supplies were similarly vulnerable. Even after they had learned how to plant grains, they still needed help from nature to ensure good harvests. Therefore they feared and depended on the power of the wind, which could bring warmth from one direction and cold from another.Using a simple piece of cloth tied to the top of a post to tell the direction of the wind was more dependable than earlier methods, such as watching the rising of smoke from a fire. The connection of the flag with heavenly power was therefore reasonable. Early human societies began to fix long pieces of cloth to the tops of totems before carrying them into battle. They believed that the power of the wind would be added to the good wishes of the gods and ancestors represented by the totems themselves.These flags developed very slowly into modern flags. The first known flag of a nation or a ruler was unmarked: The king of China around 1000 B.C. was known to have a white flag carried ahead of him. This practice might have been learned from Egyptians even further in the past, but it was from China that it spread over trade routes through India, then across Arab lands, and finally to Europe, where it met up with the other ancestor of the national flag.52．The best title for the passage would be .A．Development of the National Flag B．Power of the National FlagC．Types of Flags D．Uses of Flags53．The underlined word "vulnerable" in Paragraph 3 means .A．impossible to make sure of B．likely to be protectedC．easy to damage D．difficult to find54．The earliest flags were connected with heavenly power because .A．they could tell wind directionB．they could bring good luck to fightersC．they were handed down by the ancestorsD．they were believed to stand for natural forces55．What does the author know of the first national flag?A．He knows when it was sent to Europe.B．He believes it was made in Egypt.C．He thinks it came from China.D．He doubts where it started.56．What will the author most probably talk about next?A．The role of China in the spread of the national flag.B．The second ancestor of the national flag.C．The use of modern flags in Europe.D．The importance of modern flags.EMany people believe the glare from snow causes snowblindness. Yet, with dark glasses or not, they find themselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes, and even snowblindness, when exposed to several hours of “snow light”.The United States army has now determined that glare from snow does not cause snowblindness in troops in a snow-covered country. Rather, a man’s eyes frequently find nothing to focus on in a broad space of snow-covered without-grass land. So his gaze continually moves and jumps back and forth over the entire landscape in search of something to look at. Finding something, hour after hour, the eyes never stop searching and the eyeballs become tired and the eye muscles ache. Nature makes up for this discomfort by producing more and more fluid which covers the eyeball. The fluid covers the eyeball in increasing quantity until it makes eyes difficult to see dearly and the result is total, even though for a short time, snowblindness.Experiments led the Army to a simple method of overcoming this problem. Scouts ahead of the troops are trained to shake snow from evergreen bushes, creating a dotted line as they cross completely snow-covered landscape. Even the scouts themselves throw lightweight, dark-colored objects ahead on which they can focus too. The men following can then see something. Their gaze is arrested. Their eyes focus on a bush and having found something to see, stop searching the snow-blanketed landscape. By focusing their attention on one object at a time, the men can cross the snow without becoming hopelessly snowblind or lost. In this way the problem of crossing a continuous white land is overcome.57．To prevent snowblindness caused by the strong light from snow, wearing glasses or not ______________.A．depends on whether the snow is white enoughB．makes no differenceC．makes much differenceD．depends on whether the snow is thick58．When the eyes are tired, tears flow out _________.A．to clear the vision B．to make the eyes stop searchingC．to make the vision unclear D．to produce more and more liquid 59．Snowblindness can be avoided .A．by moving one’s gaze back and forthB．by walking ahead and keeping looking aroundC．by making up for the discomfort of one’s eyesD．by providing the eyes with something to focus on60．What is the probable meaning of the underlined part “Their gaze is arrested”(in paragraph 3)?A．They get something to look at. B．They can only look at one spot.C．Their eyes are clear. D．They can’t see freely.第二节根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两处是多余选项。

In this way we have such words as watt, ohm, diesel, dahlia, macadam, ampere, morse.A good many everyday words, however, have also found their way into the language from the names of people. The very popular word sandwich, for example, comes from the name of Lord Sandwich (1718 – 1792). While he sat at the gambling table, he used to eat slices of meat placed between two slices of bread. His friends began to call this sort of food a sandwich because only Lord Sandwich ate it. But later on it became popular and had to have a real name. So what began as a nickname gradually became part of the common language.Another commonly used word is to boycott, meaning to refuse to have any connection or business with. This comes from Captain Boycott, who was the agent of an English land owner in Ireland in 1880. He treated his tenants so badly that they all refused to speak to hi,. By this policy they eventually obtained his removal. Such treatment was referred to as a boycott. Soon afterwards this verb to boycott was coined. Both the noun and the verb are still widely used.41．What’s the passage chiefly concerned with?A．English words and names of scientists.B．English words and names of people.C．English words and discovery.D．Words and famous people.42．A sandwich was named after Lord Sandwich because .A．he was fond of itB．he was the only person that ate itC．he was the manufacturer of the foodD．it became popular43．It is suggested that Lord Sandwich .A．was mad about gamblingB．had to eat a sandwich because he was in debtC．invented gamblingD．coined the word of sandwich44．The word tenant (Paragraph 4, Line 4) probably refers to a .A．customer B．doctorC．patient D．Person who rents a houseBAnimals seem to have the sense to eat when they are hungry and they do not eat more than their bodies need. It has been demonstrated that rats will, when given a choice over a period of time, prefer water with vitamins to water without vitamins even though there is no difference in taste or smell between the two water bottles. When a fragrant flavor was added to the vitamin-enriched fluid, the rats did seem to develop a taste for it and kept drinking it ,even after the vitamins were switched to the clear water. In time, however ,they broke the habit and went back to where the necessary vitamins were.In a classic experiment, babies of 6 to 12 months old were placed in a cafeteria feeding arrangement, with a wide selection of baby food before them. They were given whatever food they pointed to or appeared interested in. We are told that at first they showed some unusual eating patterns, but that over a period of time they managed to select well-balanced diet.So, in selecting food, rats and babies do seem to know and act on what's best for them. Apparently, there is a kind of ""body wisdom,＂ which humans soon lose. Most of us do not eat as wisely as we could. Many of our food preferences are culturally determined and influenced by long-established habits. Some people eat fox, dog and blackbirds ,while we eat cows and pigs. So what people eat and how much they eat seems to be greatly influenced by what is going on around them.45．In the experiment on rats, a fragrant flavor was added to the rat's drinking water to_________.A．encourage rats to drink vitamin-enriched waterB．find out rats’ preference in flavorC．test whether rats know which drink is good for themD．demonstrate that vitamins are tasteless46．As far as their eating habits are concerned, babies and rats are similar in that_________.A．both have the wisdom to choose a balanced dietB．both prefer flavored food and drinkC．both have the same eating patternsD．both develop a taste for the same kinds of flavors47．In the classic experiment mentioned in the second paragraph, babies were .A．give many choices of drinksB．provided with various kinds of baby foodC．placed and fed in a cafeteriaD．trained to select a balanced diet48．According to the passage, adults’ eating habits differ from those of babiesbecause_________.A．adults know better than babies what kinds of food are good for their health B．adults usually cannot resist the temptation of various delicious foods C．adults’eating habits are closely related to the social and cultural customs D．adults have more choices of food than babies in eating patternsCTwo weeks after the opening ceremony, the Games are over. The last of the three hundred gold medals has been awarded and the flags of the winners have been raised for the last time.The final event is the closing ceremony. It is a sad occasion because the extreme excitement is over, and it will not happen again for four years. Those who have made friends will have to say goodbye, perhaps for ever. It is also a happy occasion because the competition is over and the athletes can really show their friendship for one another.The closing ceremony is rather like the opening. But now the Olympic flame goes out and the Olympic flag, with its five rings, is lowered. The person who closes the Games calls upon the youth of the world to meet again in four years’ time. The scoreboard lights up with the name of the city for the next Games and the band starts to play. The celebration starts.All the athletes try to be at the closing ceremony. They have forgotten all their fears and worries. It does not matter whether they have done well or not. All the teams walk round the stadium together. Everybody in the Village clears up and gets ready to leave. Everyone is hunting for local products. People. Exchange track suits, hats, running vests and so on. There is a last chance to take photographs and get addresses of new friends. Then each team starts its journey home.49．At the closing ceremony, it is found that .A．all are called on to meet again in four years’ timeB．no music is neededC．the name of the city for the next Games is shownD．the Olympic flame is taken out of the stadium50．What can we infer about the athletes from the passage?A．All of them are not present at the closing ceremony.B．They are only competitors rather than friends.C．They can never help worrying about losing the games.D．They exchange clothes for fun.51．The underlined phrase “clears up” in the last paragraph means _ .A．packs up B．goes awayC．makes clear D．does the cleaning52．From the passage it can be learnt that the closing ceremony is probably .A．a sad occasion because all the exciting competitions are overB．a happy occasion because the athletes can make new friendsC．a sad and a happy occasion at the same timeD．neither sad nor happy because it will happen again in four years’ timeD13 years ago, William Stiles, an expert in American Indian history, discovered the treasure as you see here : a 1966 Volvo.He bought it because ads of the time said Volvos were so tough that they lasted an average of 11 years in Sweden.As Mr Stiles remembers: One ad said that a Volvo was so tough that you could “Drive it like you hate it.” I did exactly like that. In my field work, I’ve driven this car 295,000hard miles. Much of it through former Indian countryside. It is held up even better than promised. Driving it like I hated it made me love it.Expressions of love are not uncommon among Volvo owners. In fact, 9 out of 10 people who have bought new Volvos are happy.So if you are unhappy with your present car, do what Mr Stiles once did after reading one of our ads. Buy one of our cars.53．William Stiles bought a 1966 Volvo because .A．he was promised that it wouldn’t easily be worn outB．he learnt that it was as modern as any of its kindC．he knew that it was the best seller in the Swedish marketsD．he was fooled into believing that it worked well54．After buying the car, William Stiles .A．drove it whenever he felt unhappy with itB．had it tested in different kinds of conditionsC．drove it madly across the whole country as if he hated itD．tested it in his field work to see how long it could last55．The underlined part in the second paragraph “I’ve driven this car 295,000 hard miles” implies that .A．he drove a long way, completely tired outB．the road conditions were unusually badC．life was hard during his long rideD．he had much trouble all the way56．In the ad, William Stiles’ story is used simply to .A．make him known to car buyersB．cause people to take notice of the car factoryC．make the ad much easier to understandD．get more buyers to believe in this car57．Which of the following is not included in a starter pack?A．One hundred used stamps and hinges and albumB．The collectors Club Guide to Collecting and badge and stickersC．The latest Collectors Club magazine and membership cardD．Royal Mail Stamp Calendar and Collectors Corner and supplement58．This ad is written for people who want to .A．make money through collecting stampsB．develop stamp collection as a hobby.C．get something free from the clubD．find out where the club is located59．From the ad we can learn .A．Collector Club is among the biggest clubs in this country.B．How much you must pay to become a member of the clubC．today is the last day for stamp collectors to join the clubD．members may receive a set of album pages every month60．Where is this ad most probably found?A．In a newspaper B．On a web page C．In a magazine D．On a TV program 第二节：补全对话（5分）K: Dr Kelly A: Alice L: Dr LaverK : 61A : Well, I’ve been feeling ill ever since a barbecue a few days ago.

But not all firsts are happy ones.One of history’s bad but important firsts was the first car accident. Cars were still young when it happened. The accident took place in New York City in May 1896. A man from Massachusetts was visiting the city in his new car. At that time, bicycle riders were still trying to get used to the new set of wheels on the road. No one was sure who was to blame for it. Anyway, the bike and the car hit each other hard. The man on the bike was injured. The driver of the car had to stay in jail and wait for the hospital report on the bicycle rider. Luckily the rider was not killed.Three years later, another car accident took place. It was again in New York City. A man named Henry Bliss stepped off a streetcar. He was hit by a passing car. Once again, no one was sure just how it happened or whose fault it was. The driver of the car was put in jail. Poor Mr. Bliss became the first person to die in a car accident.36. Which of the following is true?A. The first driver came from New York City.B. Both of the two car accidents killed a person.C. The second car accident didn’t happen in the same city as the first one.D. No one knew how the two accidents had happened.37. In both accidents the drivers of the cars .A. could not drive their cars very wellB. had to stay in jail for a whileC. tried to run away after the accidents took placeD. knew it was their fault38. The word“jail”in this passage means .A. police stationB. prisonC. schoolD. office39. The main idea of the passage is .A. not all firsts are happy onesB. two of the first car accidentsC. two unhappy“firsts”D. bicycle riders get used to carsBWhat do you hear? Sounds all around you! You can hear the sound of traffic, the wind in the trees, a dog barking, your own breathing and lots of other things.But what is sound? Sound happens when something vibrates（振动）or shakes. We can make something vibrate by hitting it. Try this experiment. Put your ruler on your desk so that part of it sticks out（伸出）over the edge. Put your hand on the part of the ruler that is on the desk. Now pull the part that is sticking out over the edge down, and then let it go. The part you let go will vibrate. It will move up and down very quickly, and give out sound.The part of the ruler sticking out over the edge of the desk produced the sound. If you make that part longer, you’ll hear a lower sound. When you shorten it, you will hear a higher sound. Why does this happen?When you shorten the ruler, it will vibrate more quickly. When something vibrates more quickly it produces a higher sound. If you lengthen the ruler, it will vibrate more slowly. When something vibrates more slowly, it produces a lower sound.40. How does sound happen?A. When something vibratesB. When something shakesC. When a ruler is put at the edge of the deskD. A and B41. We can hear a sound if we make the part of the ruler sticking out over the edge ofthe desk longer.A. higherB. lowerC. strongD. nice42. The word “lengthen” in the passage means ________.A. 加长B. 缩短C. 敲击D. 摇动43. The best title of the passage is_________A. An ExperimentB. A Way of Making SoundC. Sounds Are NoisyD. SoundsCSeveral years ago ,my parents ,my wife ,my son and I ate at one of those restaurants where the menu is written on a blackboard .After a wonderful dinner ,the waiter set the check in the middle of the table .That’s when it happened :my father did not reach for the check .Conversation continued .Finally I realized that I should pick up the check ! After hundreds of restaurant meals with my parents ,after a lifetime of thinking of my father as the one with dollars ,it had all changed .I reached for the check ,and my view of myself suddenly changed .I was an adult .I was no longer a kid.Some people mark off（区分）their lives in years ,I measure mine in small events .I didn’t become a young man at a particular age ,like 16 ,but rather when a kid who wandered in the streets called me“mister.”These events in my life are called“milestones”（里程碑）.There have been other milestones .The cops （policemen）of my youth always seemedbig ,even huge ,and of course they were older than I was .Then one day they were suddenly neither .The day came when I suddenly realized that all the football players in the game I was watching were younger than I was .They were just big kids. With that milestone gone was the dream that someday ,maybe I, too, could be a football player. Without ever having reached the hill ,I was over it .I never thought that I would fall asleep in front of the TV set as my father did .Now it’s what I do best .I never thought that I would go to the beach and not swim ,yet I spent all of August at the shore and never once went into the ocean .I never thought that I would appreciate opera ,but now the combination of voice and orchestra（乐队）attract me .I never thought that I would prefer to stay home in the evenings, but now I find myself passing up parties .I used to think that people who watched birds were strange ,but this summer I found myself watching them ,and maybe I’ll get a book on the subject .I feel a strong desire for a religious belief that I never thought I’d want ,feel close to my ancestors （祖先）long gone ,and echo my father in arguments with my so n .I still lose …One day I bought a house .One day —what a day ！—I became a father ,and not too long after that I picked up the check for my own father .I thought then it was a milestone for me .One day ,when I was a little older ,I realized it was one for him too ,another milestone .44. The tone established in the passage is one of .A. sad regretB. amusementC. happinessD. deep feeling45. “Then they were suddenly neither .”suggests that .A. suddenly they became older than I wasC. suddenly I knew that they were neither bigger nor older than I wasC. suddenly I realized that I made a mistakeD. suddenly I found myself no longer a kid46. Which of the following best expresses the author’s thinking ？A. One day is worth two tomorrows.B. To save time is to lengthen life.C. When an opportunity is lost ,it never comes back to you .D. Time and tide wait for no man .DAs the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is important for a healthy mind and body.Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not such a bad thing as it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital（important）to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health. The amount of stress a person can stand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress; others lose heart at the first sign of unusual difficulties. When faced with stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between“flight or fight ” and in moreprimitive（原始的）days the choices made the difference between life or death. The crises（危机）we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same reaction. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued suffering from stress, that health becomes endangered. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives （it would be unwise to do so even if we could）, we need to find ways to deal with it.47. People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because ______.A. they are traveling very oftenB. they believe that work is more important than relaxationC. they regard working as their greatest enjoymentD. they are becoming busier with their work than ever before48. According to the passage, the most important character of a good manager is .A. strong will to hold out stressB. having control over performanceC. high sense of responsibilityD. knowing the art of relaxation49. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. It’s easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work.B. Stress is always harmful to people’s health.C. We can find quite a few ways to avoid stress.D. Different people can bear different amount of stress.50. According to the passage, the right attitude towards stress is to .A. find some relaxationB. regard it as a vital motivationC. face it and overcome itD. avoid it四、任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）阅读下列短文，根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的词。

（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）Ⅱ、语言知识及应用（共两节，满分35分）第一节完形填空（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）Richard Desrosiers never made it to Heinz Field to watch his beloved Steelers play football, but his wife helped him 21 his dream in death．Thanks to some help from 22 people, Kathleen Desrosiers attended Sunday’s 23 , bringing an urn(骨灰盒) with some of her late 24 ashes．He had died in March of a brain tumor(肿瘤)．She said, ―I couldn't take the tumor away．I couldn't take the 25 away．I could n’t make him better．But I can do this．‖Though he lived in Exeter, New Hampshire, Richard Desrosiers liked the Steelers at an early age and followed them 26 ．He named his dog Steeler and his wardrobe(衣橱), by his wife’s estimate, was 95 percent Steelers clothes．In spite of the biting cold and the Steelers’ disappointing 22-29 27 to the Jacksonville Jaguars,Desrosiers waved her new Terrilbe Towel, 28 her painted face and warmed her head with a Steelers hat．She called it ―an overwhelming experience‖．―It’s 29 to think that he got here in death,‖ she added．―But this is where he wanted to be．I got to be with him one 30 time while he did something he wanted more than anything else in the whole wide world．‖21．A．meet B．realize C．public D．match22．A．kind-hearted B．energetic C．healthy D．rich23．A．meeting B．speech C．game D．tour24．A．brother’s B．father’s C．sister’s D．husband’s25．A．pain B．joy C．pity D．sorry26．A．lively B．friendly C．closely D．quickly27．A．success B．failure C．prize D．loss28．A．showed off B．turned around C．held up D．put up29．A．lucky B．happy C．sad D．unforgettable30．A．first B．last C．forever D．second第二节语法填空（共10小题；每小题1．5分，满分15分）Just now, I entered the website ―Topic for Today‖, I feel 31 (interest) in the report on middle school students’ using cell-phones on campus．In fact, many students now come to school 32 cell-phones．My schoolmates have different opinions．Some think 33 is convenient to get in touch with others with the cell-phone, which also makes you feel safe especially in time of trouble．34 , it is nice to enjoy various functions of different cell-phones．35 think differently．First, the cell-phone is not 36 must in school, as 37 are some IC phones in the school 38 (make) it easy to call others．Second, many students often play e-games and send e-messages with their cell-phones, even in class, 39 will surely have bad effects on their study．What’s more, it will result in a great waste of time and money．In my opinion, the cell-phone is a 40 (use) tool in our daily life．But it doesn’t mean we can use it freely in school．Ⅲ、阅读(共两节,满分40分)第一节阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)AIt may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech．At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned．Fortunately, the moments areusually not obvious to the listeners．Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say．They hear only what the speaker does say．If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will be any the wiser．When such moments occur, don’t worry about them, Just continue as if nothing happened．Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that don’t really matter ．If you have ever listen to Martin Lut her King’s famous speech –― I have a dream‖, you may notice that he stumbles（结巴）his words twice during the speech．Most likely, however, you don’t remember．Why? Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-making．People care a lot about making mistakes in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication．They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition．But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performer．They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that express the speaker’s ideas clearly and directly．Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speakers’ attractiveness by making him more human．As you work on your speech, don’t worry about being imperfect．Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely．41．The underlined part in the first paragraph means that no one will ___________．A．be smarter than you B．notice your mistakesC．do better than you D．know what you are talking about42．You don’t remember obvious mistakes in a speech because ___________．A．your attention is on the contentB．you don’t fully understand the speechC．you don’t know what the speaker plans to sayD．you find the way of speech-making more important43．It can be inferred from the passage that ___________．A．giving a speech is like giving a performanceB．one to two mistakes in a speech may not be badC．the listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is madeD．the more mistakes a speaker makes, the more attractive he will be44．What would be the best title of the passage?A．How to Be a Perfect SpeakerB．How to Make a Perfect SpeechC．Don’t Expect a Perfect SpeechD．Don’t Expect Mistakes in a Speech45．Which of the following statements is true?A．If you are careful enough, you can make a perfect speech．B．Speech-making is a kind of performance．C．Listeners are not judges and they pay more attention to the message．D．Martin Luther King is not a good speaker．BWhen it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me．I seek friends whose qualities illuminate（照亮）me and train me up for love．It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours．When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend．We were shy and ―too serious‖ about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors．We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say:―Let’s start with a train whistle today．‖ We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or storie s that grew out of a train whistle．Then we would read them aloud．At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped．( Paragraph 3) When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend．He was in despair and I was in despair．But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at that time．We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things．We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted．We gave London to each other．( Paragraph 4) For almost four years I have had remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine．We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves．Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams．She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind．In my most interesting moments, I often think:―Yes, I must tell…．‖, though we have never met．It is such comforting companions I wish to keep．One bright hour with their kindness is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist（心理学家），who will only fill up the healing silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend．46．In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior was to ______．A．become serious about her studyB．go to her friend’s house regularlyC．learn from her classmates at schoolD．share poems and stories with her friend47．In Paragraph 3, ―We gave London to each other‖ probably means ______．A．our exploration of London was a memorable gift to both of usB．we were unwilling to tear ourselves away from LondonC．our unpleasant feeling about London disappearedD．we parted with each other in London48．According to Paragraph 4, the author and her friend _______．A．call each other regularlyB．have similar personalitiesC．enjoy writing to each otherD．dream of meeting each other49．In the darkest moments, the author would prefer to ______．A．seek professional helpB．be left aloneC．stay with her best friendD．break the silence50．What is the best title for the passage?A．Unforgettable ExperiencesB．Remarkable ImaginationC．Lifelong FriendshipD．Noble CompanionsCFederal regulators Wednesday approved a plan to create a nationwide emergence(被认可的) alert system using text messages delivered to cell phones．Text messages have exploded in popularity in recent years, particularly among young people．The wirelessindustry's trade association, CTIA, estimates more than 48 billion text messages are sent each month．The plan comes from the Warning Alert and Response Network Act, a 2006 federal law that requires improvements to the nation's emergency alert system．The act tasked the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) by coming up with new ways to alert the public about emergencies．"The ability to deliver accurate and timely warnings and alerts through cell phones and other mobile services is an important next step in our efforts to help ensure that the American public has the information they need to take action to protect themselves and their families before, and during, disasters and other emergencies," FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said following approval of the plan．Participation in the alert system by carriers –telecommunications companies is voluntary, but it has received solid support from the wireless industry．The program would be optional for cell phone users．They also may not be charged for receiving alerts．There would be three different types of messages, according to the rules．The first would be a national alert from the president, likely involving a terrorist attack or a nationwide disease．The second would involve "approaching threats," which could include natural disasters like hurricanes or storms or even university shootings．The third would be reserved for child kidnapping emergencies．The service could be in place by 2010．51．What is the purpose of the approved plan?A．To warn people of emergencies through messages．B．To popularize the use of cell phones．C．To estimate the monthly number of messages．D．To promote the wireless industry．52．The improvement to the present system is in the charge of ____．A．CTIAB．the Warning Alert and Response Network ActC．FCCD．federal regulators53．Which of the following is TRUE of cell phone users?A．They must accept the alert service．B．They may enjoy the alert service for free．C．They must send the alerts to othersD．They may choose the types of messages54．An alert message will NOT be sent if _____．A．a child gets robbed in the streetB．a university shooting happensC．a natural disaster happensD．a terrorist attack occurs55．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A．Cell Phone Alerts Protecting StudentsB．Cell Phone Alerts by Wireless IndustryC．Cell Phone Alerts of National DisastersD．Cell Phone Alerts Coming Soon第二节信息匹配(共5小题; 每小题2分,满分10分)56---60 是各位专家的有关信息，请阅读六位不同的人的需求（A---F）,并按照需求匹配信息。
