D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题): (12分)The first time I saw Jim Wooten I really understood him. He was agreat TV news reporter. When he was reporting in Rwanda, oneheartbreaking moment made a deep impression on me. When thecamera showed all of the children who were dying, suffered fromterrible diseases,Jim ended his piece by saying that when he got home,the first thing he was going to do was to put his arms around his ownchildren. Then I realized that he was differe nt, that he didn’t fall into any of the modern television-news tricks, that he was not giving us any awful, artificial(假的) television-journalist reports out of（出于) pity. Instead, I was watching a real reporter with a gift(天赋) for both words and slight differences.Then I read his book, We Are All the Same, about his friendship with Xolani Nkosi, a South African boy who became the international spokesman for AIDS(艾滋病). It is about the friendship between Wooten and a black child who was ten years old and already dying of AIDS. It is also a book about a great teacher and his student. But the teacher－the one with real wisdom and understanding about life－is the little boy, not the journalist. And, finally, it’s about a love story of Gail Johnson, Nkosi’s white mother who does her best to save the boy, and their lo ve for each other.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) (12分)One morning, a blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said, “I am blind, please help me.”There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took out a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words on it. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the words.Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, “Are you the one who changed m y sign in the morning? What did you write? ”The man said, “I only wrote the truth, I said what you said, but in a different way. ”What he had written was, “ Today is a beautiful day, but I cannot see it.”Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.The first sign simply said the boy was blind.

When he received the email inviting him to the reunion (重聚) for the people of his year at college, he had felt only happy and excited. Now, as he got nearer to the college, he was nervous, yes, definitely nervous.

He couldn't believe it. It was his' old room. As he walked through the door, he was surprised to feel a tear rolling down his cheeks. He had never thought he would feel like this.

It was almost time for dinner, so he put on his black dinner jacket and bow tie and walked down to the dining hall, wondering if any of his old friends would be there.He walked into the dining hall, and there she was.

The Blue Book of Chinese Teenager Financial(金融的) Study shows that social activities now take up more of teenagers’ spending. The book was about teenagers’ spending habits. It was based on studies in nine cities in China, such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The results show that students are spendingmore and more on their relationships with friends and classmates, such as having meals together and buying birthday gifts. Only one-third of high school students think about the price when choosing gifts. Most say they only care about what their friends like.Xiao Hao, 17, a student at Gaoyou Normal School in Jiangsu, spent more than 1,000 yuan on his birthday meal this February. “They had given me gifts. If I hadn’t done anything in return, I’d have lost face,” Xia said.Xia’s experience is quite usual among the young students. A meal can cost a student’s pocket money for a month. Many just ask more from parents when they use up their money.Zhang Wei, an expert on teenagers’ financial study, suggested that teenagers should learn to make a budget. A budget is a plan of how money will be spent. It helps make decisions about money. To make good use of your money, you can also set a limit. Learn to balance your wants and needs. When choosing gifts for friends, let them know that you care. Sometimes a handmade gift is much better than an expensive one.88.Were there 3 cities in China taking part in the study?(1分)____________，_______________________________________________________.89.

Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题) (12分)Happiness is a feeling that lights up your eyes, makes your steps light and makes you want to sing for no reason. Everyone wants to be happy. But sometimes, a guest comes in without invitation. It’s unhappiness. Don’t let it get you down. Send it away.When you are happy, the world feels like a better place. As the saying goes: When yousmile, the world smiles with you; when you cry, you cry alone. Wearing a smile makes you more charming(迷人的)and helps you to win lots of friends. A good mood（心情）always gives you hope, which makes trouble and problems easier to handle.No matter how happy you are, it’s normal to feel angry, sad or gloomy once in a while. Life is full of ups and downs. We can’t change the way life is, but we can do our best to change a bad situation into a good one. To help us do this, it’s good to know some of the factors（因素）that influence happiness.One of the biggest factors is social relationships. People who are close to family and friends are happier than people who don’t have those relationships. Talking and sharing is a good way to relax and build confidence. Knowing someone is there for you will make you braver and more outgoing.Another factor is work or school. If you enjoy school, even if you have lots of homework or extra classes, you will feel that your school life is meaningful and happy. But if you hate school, your negative attitude（消极的态度）may cause you to feel bored and upset that you hate to do so much work.A third factor is your attitude towards life. How do you feel if you fail in an exam? Maybe you think it’s unfair because you always study and should have got a good mark. You can’t stop blaming（责备）yourself. Or, maybe you accept it. You go through the paper carefully, find out why you made stupid mistakes, and tell yourself, “Take it easy! I’ll do better next time!” Your attitude makes a big difference.Do you smile a lot or wear a long face most of the time?88. Happiness is a feeling, isn’t it?____________, _________________________________________________.89. What makes you more charming and gives you hope?_______________________________________________________________.90. What does the underlined sentence mean according to paragraph 3?________________________________________________________________.91. What can we do when we can’t change the way life is?________________________________________________________________.92. How many factors influence happiness? What are they?________________________________________________________________________. 93. How do you make yourself happy in your daily life? Give an example.________________________________________________________________________.Keys: 88. Yes, it is.89. Wearing a smile and a good mood.90. No matter how happy you are, it's normal to feel angry, sad or gloomy once in a while./There are happiness and sadness in our life.91. We can do our best to change a bad situation into a good one.92. Three. Social relationships, work or school and your attitude towards life.93. Any reasonable answer is ok.D.

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.(A)Madonna：Singer/actress, born Michigan, USA, 1959Originally a dancer, she had her first popular record …Holiday‟ in 1983. In 1985 she began her film career and also married actor Sean Penn, but (25)____ marriage lasted less than four years. Her …Blond Ambition Tour‟ in 1990 with special clothes(26)____(design) by Jean Paul Gaultier caused much conflict. Her career took a more respectable direction, however, with the birth of her first child, Lourdes, in 1997, and her performance in the title role of Evita.Pelé：footballer, born Edson Arantes do Nascimento, Tres Coracoes, Brazil, 1940(27)____(consider) by many to be the greatest footballer of all time, he became a world star at the age of only seventeen, when Brazil first won the World Cup in Sweden.

He (30)____(appoint) Brazilian Special Minister for Sport in 1994.Steffi Graf：tennis player, born Neckerau, Germany, 1969(31)____ Graf turned professional at the age of thirteen, she won her first major tournament in 1986 and became the world‟s number one a year later.

And in Spain and Italy, (35)____ families were always traditionally large, the birthrate was the lowest in the developed world in 1995.

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.It is important that students‟feelings, opinions and suggestions are listened to, taken into account, and that the right action is taken. There are a number of ways that this can be __41__, i.e. school councils, year councils and peer mentoring.School councilsMost schools have a school council which exists to let the teachers and head teacher know what students‟ __42__ are on a range of school issues. The school council usually consists of two or three elected __43__ from each year group.A school council might meet once or twice a month to discuss issues such as the dress __44__, the use of social areas, charity fundraising and bullying.Year councilsBecause school councils are sometimes __45__ by older students, some schools have introduced year councils. The aim of a year council is to give students the opportunity to express opinions on __46__ of importance to that particular year group. The following is an example of the rules relating to a school‟s council for year 8 (pupils aged 12-13).The head of year will attend all council meetings as an observer and both they and the other year staff will be __47__ as required to offer support and advice to council members and to assist in the settlement of arguments.Peer mentoringThere are other ways in which students‟voices can be heard. One of the most popular schemes involves peer mentoring. Those who express an interest receive training to becomementors (导师) so that they are better equipped to help others. This starts from primary school age, when the mentors may get involved in issues __48__ to conflict resolution. At secondary school and at university, mentors are likely to deal with a larger variety of issues, such as __49__ and health-related matters.The belief in schemes like these is that being heard by your peers can be more effective and helpful as fellow students may have more time and understanding than teachers or others in __50__.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Many people complain that their memory is bad, particularly as they get older. Life would be so much easier if we could remember things __51__. So how can we improve our memory?Many people think that repeating things is the best way to remember. While this undoubtedly helps short-term memory (remembering a telephone number for a few seconds, __52__), psychologists doubt whether it can help you to remember things for long. The British psychologist E.C. Stanford seemed to __53__ this point when he tested himself on five prayers that he had read aloud every morning for over 25 years. He found that he could remember no more than three words of them! __54__, especially for remembering numbers, is …chunking’ (分块), or grouping the information. The following numbers would be __55__ for most of us to remember. 1492178919931848. But look at them in …chunks‟, and it becomes much easier. 1492 1789 1993 1848.So what about …memory training‟? We‟ve all __56__ people who can memorise packs of card by heart --- how is this done and can anyone learn how to do it? __57__ experts, there are various ways of training your memory. Many of them __58__ forming a mental picture of the items to be memorised. One method, which may be useful in learning foreign languages, is to create a picture in your mind __59__ a word you want to remember. Another method is to invent a story that includes all the things you want to remember. People were asked to remember up to 120 words using this technique; when tested afterwards, on average, they were able to __60__ 90 per cent of them! Surprisingly, however, there is nothing __61__ about these methods --- they were around even in ancient times. Apparently the Roman general Publius Scipio could __62__ his entire army --- 35,000 men in total!__63__, not all of us are interested in learning long lists of names and numbers just for fun. For those studying large quantities of information, psychologists suggest that the best way to …form __64__ connections‟ is to ask yourself lots of questions as you go alo ng. So, for example, if you were reading about a particular disease, you would ask yourself questions like: …Do people get it from water?‟, …What parts of the body does it affect?‟ and so on. This is said to be far more effective than time spent …__65__‟ r eading and re-reading notes.51. A. effortlessly B. purposefully C. exactly D. carelessly52. A. by contrast B. in that case C. in no way D. for example53. A. raise B. prove C. discuss D. stress54. A. More helpful B. Much worse C. More difficult D. Much shorter55. A. convenient B. impossible C. meaningful D. technical56. A. agreed with B. learned from C. heard about D. apologized for57. A. Due to B. In case of C. According to D. In spite of58. A. exclude B. mean C. suggest D. involve59. A. isolated from B. sensitive to C. responsible for D. associated with60. A. recall B. recite C. revise D. restore61. A. effective B. awful C. valuable D. new62. A. train B. recognize C. lead D. command63. A. Furthermore B. However C. Summarily D. Therefore64. A. unknown B. loose C. meaningful D. personal65. A. passively B. silently C. amusingly D. extensivelySection BDirections: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 you have just read.(A)A night out in Tokyo is much the same as a night out in Milan these days, according to a survey about socialising, conducted amongst 16 to 34-year-olds around the world. Wherever you live, a typical night out is spent eating burgers, seeing American films or listening to English-language music in clubs and bars. Individual differences do survive but American culture is everywhere.Differences in the social behavior of the two sexes are also disappearing. Most people surveyed felt that it was …perfectly normal‟ for groups of young women to go out alone, that it was …equally acceptable‟ for young women to smoke and drink, and that a couple should split the bill when they go out together. For most young people these were the biggest differences between their own generation and their parents‟.Interestingly, however, most young people interviewed said that parents are still stricter with daughters than sons about where they go and who they go with. Overall, only 10 per cent thought that parents treat their sons and daughters equally, and almost no one thought parents were stricter with their sons!Important national differences appear, however, when it comes to time-keeping. In the Far East and Eastern Europe a night out starts --- and finishes --- much earlier: there seven o‟clock was the average time for meeting up with friends. For many Southern European and South Americans, on the other hand, an evening out doesn‟t even start until ten or eleven o‟clock, by which time many of their South Korean or Japanese counterparts are safely home in bed!Parents‟ rules reflect this. Most Japanese parents expect their teenagers home by ten o‟clock or even earlier, whereas in Europe it is more likely to be eleven or twelve o‟clock. The most surprising findings came from Argentina, however, where it is apparently quite normal for 15 and 16-year-olds to stay out all night. But then perhaps this is because their parents have less to worry about --- 80 percent of Argentine youngsters claimed that they rarely or never drink alcohol!66. Night out in Tokyo is similar to it in Milan because ________.A. English-language activities are highly welcomedB. they are experiencing the different globalized-cultureC. American culture is very popular all around the worldD. all the young people have the same habits and hobbies67. One of the biggest differences between young people and their parents lies in ______.A. the music style and stars they lovedB. their attitude towards paying money for dinnerC. the decreasing number of young women smokingD. the time they meet up with people and have evening out68. In the last paragraph, “this” refers to ______.A. evening outB. drinking alcoholC. time-keepingD. staying up late69. What is the passage mainly talking about?A. The same night-out life in all the modern cities.B. The similarities and differences in social behaviors.C. Comparing night life between the east and the west.D. Parents‟ different rules between their sons and daughters.(B)Your Write Source book is loaded with information to helpyou learn about writing.

Parents of twins often notice that they develop special ways of communicating: they invent their own words and one can often finish the other's sentence. In exceptional circumstances, this closeness becomes more extreme: they invent a whole language of their own, as in the case of Grace and Virginia Kennedy from Georgia in the USA, who communicated so successfully in their own special language that they did not speak any English at all until after they started school.However, these special relationships are the result of lives spent almost entirely in each other's company. What happens when twins do not grow up together, when they are separated at birth for some reason? Are they just like any other strangers, or are there still special similarities between them? Professor Tom Bouchard, of the University of Minnesota, set out to find the answer to this question. He traced sixteen pairs of twins, who were adopted by different families when they were babies, and often brought up in very different circumstances. Each twin was then interviewed about every small detail of their life.The results of this research make a surprising reading. Many of the twins were found to have the same hobbies, many have suffered the same illnesses, and some have even had the same type of accident at the same point in their lives. One pair of middle-aged women arrived for their first meeting in similar dresses, another pair were wearing similar jewellery. The most incredible similarities are to be found in the case of Jim Springer and Jim Lewis from Ohio in the USA. The story of the 'Jim Twins' made headline news across USA. Born to an immigrant woman in 1939, and adopted by different families at birth, both babies were named Jim by their new parents.But what can be the explanation for these remarkable similarities? Is it all pure coincidence, or is the explanation in some way genetic? Research into the lives of twins is forcing some experts to admit that our personalities may be at least partly due to 'nature'. On the other hand, analysts are also anxious to emphasise that incredible coincidences do happen all the time, not just in the lives of twins.73. The case of Grace and Virginia Kennedy (Para. 1) is to show that ______.A. twins communicate with each other in an unusual wayB. twins are more likely to suffer from speaking problemsC. most twins have exceptional abilities to invent a new languageD. twins won‟t have an effective communication until they go to school74. The purpose of Tom Bouchard‟s study is to find ______.A. what will happen if twins spend lives entirely in the same companyB. why the 16 pairs of twins have been adopted by different familiesC. whether separated growing up has effect on twins‟ special similaritiesD. when the special similarities come into being during their growing up75. What does the word “reading” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?A. Book.B. Interpretation.C. Literature.D. Measurement.76. According to Tom Bouchard‟s research, the special similarities between twins ______.A. depend on what the twins enjoy and suffer fromB. can not be proved or accepted by all the expertsC. result from the twins‟ growing up and developmentD. are not closely linked with where the twins are raised77. What can be learned from the last paragraph?A. Incredible coincidences happen to twins all the time.B. Nature is the only way to explain the similarities between twins.C. The differences between twins are to some extent the results of genes.D. Similarities shows the close relationship between two strange persons.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.All of us exist in …bodies‟ of different shapes, heights, colors and physical abilities. The main reasons for the differences are genetic, and the fact that people‟s bodies change as they age. However, a huge range of research indicates that there are social factors too.Poorer people are more likely to eat …unhealthy‟foods, to smoke cigarettes and to be employed in physically difficult work or the opposite: boring, inactive employment. Moreover, their housing conditions and neighbourhoods tend to be worse. All of these factors impact upon the condition of a person‟s health: the physical shapes of bodies are strongly influenced by social factors.These social factors are also closely linked to emotional wellbeing. People with low or no incomes are more likely to have mental health problems. It is not clear, however, whether poverty causes mental illness, or whether it is the other way around. For example, certain people with mental health issues may be at risk of becoming homeless, just as a person who is homeless may have an increased risk of illnesses such as depression.There are other types of social factors too. Bodies are young or old, short or tall, big or small, weak or strong. Whether these judgments matter and whether they are positive or negative depends on the cultural and historical context. In fact, the culture of different societies promote very different valuations of body shapes. What is considered as attractive or ugly, normal or abnormal varies enormously. Currently, for example, in rich societies the idea of slimness is highly valued, but historically this was different. In most societies the ideal body shape for a woman was a …full figure‟, while in middle-aged man, a large stomach indicated that they were financially successful in life.Sociologists are suggesting that we should not just view bodies and minds in biological terms, but also in social terms. The physical body and what we seek to do with it change over time andsociety. This has important implications for medicine and ideas of health. Thus, the idea of people being …overweight‟ is physically related to large amounts of processed food, together with lack of exercise, and is therefore a medical issue. However, it has also become a mental health issue and social problem as a result of people coming to define this particular body shape as …wrong‟ and unhealthy.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. Besides social factors, what are the other two reasons for differences in bodies?79. The social factors are likely to have a great effect on people‟s ______ and ______.80. Valuations of body shapes change with ______.81. The “This” in the last paragraph refers to ______.第II卷（共47分）I.

It had some interesting articles about life 100 years from now. They talked of many kinds of medical technologies which would allow people to live to be 110years old.Janet：Oh, I wouldn’t like that at all. I am quite satisfied to live for 70 or 80 years. I don’t want to live any longer than that. I hate to get so old that I could not look after myself. As long as I keep fit and healthy I am happy, but I don’t want to bec ome old and useless to society.Jenny：Well, the magazine also talked about other things that will happen in the future. For example, most people will not travel to work but will communicate online or through video and telephone. Most industries will be operated by robots and controlled by computers. Many people will spend less time on work, but they will spend time doing other things such as looking after their parents.Janet：That sounds awful as well. I enjoy working and want to continue to work throughout my life. I suppose this magazine also talked about technology in the home.Jenny：Yes, it did. It said it would be possible for everyone to have a home computer which would do everything for you in the future. For example, it would prepare your food, play music and videos and make videophone calls for you. I would love that! It seems quite certain that wealthy people could have these computers in just a few years.Janet：At the same time, the poor people will not have enough food to eat and there will not be enough medicine to keep them healthy. The wonderful future that new medicine and new technology will bring is only for rich people in the rich countries. What will happen to the rest of the world’s population? I hope 100 years from now we will have got rid of poverty. That is the biggest problem facing us in the 21st century.Jenny：I suppose you are right, Janet. But I would like to see the 22nd century, too.69. Jenny read some interesting articles in a yesterday.A) newspaper B) magazine C) textbook D) report70.

Just when I was near the finishing line, my legs gave out. Then my 79 came to my mind again and encouraged me to go on. To my surprise, I was the first to cross the finishing line!At last, I had proved to myself and those who had often laughed at me that I am not weak at all.From the sports meeting, I learnt that sometimes things are not so difficult as they seem to be.

Like many lovers of books, they s 81 walked past a bookstore without stopping to look inside. They often talked of opening their own store one day.In order to realize their w 82 , they started by talking to bookstore owners and researching book business. One fi gure caught Mary’s attention: She had read somewhere that about 20 percent of books sold were mysteries, and many buyers of mysteries spent more than ＄300 a year on books. She and Richard themselves were mystery r 83 and had a big collection of such books.On Halloween 1992, they opened the Mystery Lovers Bookshop and Café near their home. With three children in college, it was i 84 for the couple to spend all the family’s money to start a shop. To cover ＄100,000 cost, they used some of their savings, borrowed from relatives and from a bank.In order to a 85 customers, Mary always had new ways. The shop had a coffee bar and if offered presents to mystery lovers and served dinners for book clubs that met in the store. She also invited many writers to d 86 their stories with the buyers to let them understand the stories better. Now after playing taxes, business costs and the six part-time sales clerks, Richard and Mary together earn abut ＄34,000.“The job we love may not go hand in hand with lots of money,” says Richard.” We do this to give an e87 life to ourselves. This is not about making a lot of money. What matters as that we gain happiness fromit.”D.Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题)The Green Belt Movement is a community-based group in Kenya. It aims to help protect the environment, mainly through planting trees.The Green Belt Movement was started in 1977 by Wangari Maathal. When Wangari started the Green Belt Movement, she thought much about both people and environment. She thought that if people grew the trees themselves, it would help them to understand environment and develop their local cultures.Today, the Green Belt Movement works like this. Members from the Movement go to communities to talk about tree planting and starting nurseries. If the local people are interested, they can join the Movement as a group. When they join, they receive a lot of information about how to prepare the soil, and collect and grow seeds. When the people know what to do, they can collect seeds, plant them into seedlings. When the seedlings are big enough, they will be planted on farms. The Green Belt Movement pays the nursery money for each seedling that is still alive after three months.The Green Belt Movement now has over 6,000 community nurseries in Kenya, and many more in other African 7countries. Over the last 30 years, it has planted more than 30 million trees in parks and on farms.The Green Belt Movement also runs programs to help people start gardens and grow plants that are local to their area. This means that many communities can now take care of almost all their own food needs, and they can often make extra income as well.In 2004, Wangari Maathal won the Nobel Peace Prize. Giving the prize to Wangari showed that peace doesn’t just mean stopping wars. It can also mean making the world a better place to live in.88. What does the Green Belt Movement aim to do?89. When was the Green Belt Movement started?90. The Green Belt Movement opens schools to teach people tree planting, doesn’t it?91. What can the nurseries get if the seedlings are still alive after three months?92. How can many communities take care of their own food needs now?93. Why was Wangari given the Nobel Peace Prize for starting the Green Belt Movement?Ⅶ写作94．Write a composition in at least 60 words according to the given situation.(根据所给情景写一篇不少于60字的短文).Suppose there is an English Festival in your school every year.
