And if you don’t know for sure, it’s a very likely that you can find out. There may be a watch on your wrist, there may be a clock on the wall, desk, or computer screen; or maybe you’re riding in a car that has a clock in the dashboard (仪表板).Even if you don’t have a timepiece of some sort nearby, your body keeps its own beat. Humans have an internal clock that regulates (调节) the beating of our heart, the pace of our breathing, the discharge (排出) of chemicals within our bloodstream, and many other bodily functions.Time is something from which we can’t escape. Even if we ignore it, it’s still going by, ticking away, second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour. So the main issue in using your time well is, “Who’s in charge?” We can allow time to slip by and let it be our enemy. Or we can take control of it and make it our ally.By taking control of how you spend your time, you’ll increase your chances of becoming a more successfulstudent. Perhaps more importantly, the better you are at managing the time you devote to your studies, the more time you’ll have to spend on your outside interests.The aim of time management is not to schedule every moment so we become slaves of a timetable that governs every waking moment of the day. Instead, the aim is to make informed choices as to how we use our time. Rather than letting the day go by, largely without our awareness, what we are going to discuss next can make us better able to control time for our own purposes.56. The underlined word “ally” in Para. 3 more likely means somebody or something that is _________.A. your slave and serves youB. your supporter and helps youC. under your control and obeys youD. under your influence and follows you57. The author intends to tell us that time _____________.A. could be regulated by a timepiece such as a clock or a watchB. could be managed by the internal clock of human bodiesC. should be well managed for our own interestD. should be saved for outside interests58. In the next part, the author would most probably discuss with you ________.A. how to keep up with the timesB. how to make up for lost timeC. how to have a good timeD. how to make good use of timeBWe experience different forms of the Sun’s energy every day. We can see its light and feel its warmth. The Sun is the major source of evaporation (蒸发) of water from the oceans and lakes. Sunlight also provides the energy used by green plants to make their own food. These green plants then provide food for all organisms (生物) on the Earth.Much of the energy that comes from the Sun never reaches the Earth’s surface. It is either reflected or absorbed by the gases in the upper atmosphere. Of the energy that reaches the lower atmosphere, 30% is reflected by clouds or the Earth’s surface. The remaining 70% warms the surface of the planet, causes water to evaporate, and provides energy for the water cycle and weather. Only a tiny part, approximately 0.023%, is actually used by green plants to produce food.Many gases found in the atmosphere actually reflect heat energy escaping from the Earth’s surface back to the Earth. These gases act like the glass of a greenhouse in that they allow energy from the Sun to enter but prevent energy from leaving. They are therefore called greenhouse gases.When sunlight strikes an object, some of the energy is absorbed and some is reflected. The amount reflected depends on the surface. For example, you’ve probably noticed how bright snow is when sunlight falls on it. Snow reflects most of the energy from the Sun, so it contributes to the low temperatures of winter. Dark-coloured surfaces, such as dark soil or forest, absorb more energy and help warm the surrounding air.59. According to the passage, the root cause for weather changes on the Earth is ______.A. the atmosphere surrounding the EarthB. water from oceans and lakesC. energy from the SunD. greenhouse gases in the sky60. Only a small part of the Sun’s energy reaches the Earth’s surface because most of it _______________.A. absorbed by the clouds in the lower atmosphereB. reflected by the gases in the upper atmosphereC. lost in the upper and lower atmosphereD. used to evaporate water from the oceans and lakes61. We learn from the passage that _______________.A. all living things on the Earth depend on the Sun for their foodB. a forest looks dark in winter because it absorbs solar energyC. only 0.023% of the energy from the Sun is made use of on the EarthD. greenhouse gases allow heat energy to escape from the Earth’s surfaceC62. When people come to visit the Gallery, they should ____________.A. leave all their carried items at the checkroomsB. have all their carried items x-rayed at the entranceC. take all their carried items with them without inspectionD. have all their carried items inspected at the entrance63. What does the Gallery feel sorry for?A. Visitors have to keep their valuable items in the checkrooms.B. The size of visitor items allowed into the Gallery is limited.C. It cannot keep oversized visitor items due to limited space.D. Visitor items over 17×26 inches must go through additional checks.64. Parents with small children visiting the Gallery _____________.A. can carry their children in soft front child carriersB. can carry their children on their shouldersC. can carry their children in child carriers worn on the backD. ought to pay if they want to use pushchairs for their children65. Visiting photographers should make sure that __________.A. pictures and videos are allowed for personal use anywhere in the GalleryB. pictures and videos can be taken in some places for personal useC. picture-taking and videoing are totally forbidden in the GalleryD. tripods are allowed except in some special exhibitionsDIt had been some time since Jack had seen the old man. College, carrier, and life itself got in the way. In fact, Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit of the dreams. There, in the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future, and nothing could stop him.Over the phone, his mother told him, “Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is Wednesday.”Memories fleshed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days.“Jack, did you hear me?”“Oh, sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. it’s been so long since I thought of him. I’m sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago,” Jack said.“Well, he didn’t forget you. Every time I saw him he’d ask how you were doing. He’d reminisce (回忆) about the many days you spent over ‘his side of the fence’ as he put it, ” Mom told him.“I loved that old house he lived in,” Jack said.“You know, Jack, after your father died, Mr. Belser stepped in to make sure you had a man’s influence in your life,” she said.“He’s the one who taught me carpentry. I wouldn’t be in this business if it weren’t for him. He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important. Mom, I’ll be there for the funeral.” Jack said.Busy as he was, he kept his word. Jack caught the next flight to his hometown. Mr. Belser’s funeral was small and uneventful. He had no children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed away.The night before he had to return home, Jack and his Mom stopped by to see the old house next door one more time, which was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories. Every picture, every piece of furniture … Jack stopped suddenly.“What’s wrong, Jack?” his Mom asked.“The box is gone,” he said.“What box?” Mom asked.“There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk. I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside. All he’d ever tell me was ‘the thing I value most’,” Jack said.It was gone. Everything about the house was exactly how Jack remembered it, except for the box. He figured someone from the Belser family had taken it.“Now I’ll never know what was so valuable to him,” Jack said sadly.Returning to his office the next day, he found a package on his desk. The return address caught his attention.“Mr. Harold Belser” it read.Jack tore open the package. There inside was the gold box and an envelope. Jack’s hands shook as he read the note inside,“Upon my death, please forward this box and its contents to Jack Bernett. It’s the thing I valued most in my life.” A small key was taped to the letter. His heart racing, and tears filling his eyes. Jack carefully unlocked the box. There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch. Running his fingers slowly over the fine cover, he opened it.Inside he found these words carved: “Jack. Thanks for your time! Harold Belser.”“Oh. My God! This is the thing he valued most …”Jack held the watch for a few minutes, then called his assistant and cleared his appointments for the next two days. “Why?” his assistant asked.“I need some time to spend with my son,” he said.66. Why did Jack think Mr. Belser died years ago?A. College and career prevented him from remembering Mr. Belser.B. Jack was too busy with his business and family to think about Mr. Belser.C. Jack was too busy realizing his dreams to think about Mr. Belser.D. His present busy life washed away his children memories.67. Jack’s mother told him on the phone about Mr. Belser EXCEPT that _________.A. Mr. Belser often asked how Jack was doingB. Mr. Belser’s funeral would take place on WednesdayC. Mr. Belser had asked for Jack’s mailing addressD. Mr. Belser had pleasant memories of their time together68. Why did Belser send Jack his gold watch?A. Because he was grateful for Jack’s time with him.B. Because he had no children or relatives.C. Because he thought he had to keep his word.D. Because Jack had always wanted it during his childhood.69. Why did Jack say he needed some time to spend with his son?A. He was very tired of his work and wanted to have a good rest.B. He had promised to spare more time to stay with his son.C. He had missed his son and his family for days.D. He came to realize the importance of the time with his family.70. Which of the following is the most suitable title for this passage?A. The Good Old TimesB. What He Valued MostC. An Old Gold WatchD. The Lost Childhood Days第四部分：任务型阅读(共10小题，每小题１分，满分10分)请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

And if you don’t know for sure, it’s a very likely that you can find out. There may be a watch on your wrist, there may be a clock on the wall, desk, or computer screen; or maybe you’re riding in a car that has a clock in the dashboard (仪表板).Even if you don’t have a timepiece of some sort nearby, your body keeps its own beat. Humans have an internal clock that regulates (调节) the beating of our heart, the pace of our breathing, the discharge (排出) of chemicals within our bloodstream, and many other bodily functions.Time is something from which we can’t escape. Even if we ignore it, it’s still going by, ticking away, second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour. So the main issue in using your time well is, “Who’s in charge?” We can allow time to slip by and let it be our enemy. Or we can take control of it and make it our ally.By taking control of how you spend your time, you’ll increase your chances of becoming a more successful student. Perhaps more importantly, the better you are at managing the time you devote to your studies, the more time you’ll have to spend on your outside interests.The aim of time management is not to schedule every moment so we become slaves of a timetable that governs every waking moment of the day. Instead, the aim is to make informed choices as to how we use our time. Rather than letting the day go by, largely without our awareness, what we are going to discuss next can make us better able to control time for our own purposes.56. The underlined word “ally” in Para. 3 more likely means somebody or something that is _________.A. your slave and serves youB. your supporter and helps youC. under your control and obeys youD. under your influence and follows you57. The author intends to tell us that time _____________.A. could be regulated by a timepiece such as a clock or a watchB. could be managed by the internal clock of human bodiesC. should be well managed for our own interestD. should be saved for outside interests58. In the next part, the author would most probably discuss with you ________.A. how to keep up with the timesB. how to make up for lost timeC. how to have a good timeD. how to make good use of timeBWe experience different forms of the Sun’s energy every day. We can see its light and feel its warmth. The Sun is the major source of evaporation (蒸发) of water from the oceans and lakes. Sunlight also provides the energy used by green plants to make their own food. These green plants then provide food for all organisms (生物) on the Earth.Much of the energy that comes from the Sun never reaches the Earth’s surface. It is either reflected or absorbed by the gases in the upper atmosphere. Of the energy that reaches the lower atmosphere, 30% is reflected by clouds or the Earth’s surface. The remaining 70% warms the surface of the planet, causes water to evaporate, and providesenergy for the water cycle and weather. Only a tiny part, approximately 0.023%, is actually used by green plants to produce food.Many gases found in the atmosphere actually reflect heat energy escaping from the Earth’s surface back to the Earth. These gases act like the glass of a greenhouse in that they allow energy from the Sun to enter but prevent energy from leaving. They are therefore called greenhouse gases.When sunlight strikes an object, some of the energy is absorbed and some is reflected. The amount reflected depends on the surface. For example, you’ve probably noticed how bright snow is when sunlight falls on it. Snow reflects most of the energy from the Sun, so it contributes to the low temperatures of winter. Dark-coloured surfaces, such as dark soil or forest, absorb more energy and help warm the surrounding air.59. According to the passage, the root cause for weather changes on the Earth is ______.A. the atmosphere surrounding the EarthB. water from oceans and lakesC. energy from the SunD. greenhouse gases in the sky60. Only a small part of the Sun’s energy reaches the Earth’s surface because most of it _______________.A. absorbed by the clouds in the lower atmosphereB. reflected by the gases in the upper atmosphereC. lost in the upper and lower atmosphereD. used to evaporate water from the oceans and lakes61. We learn from the passage that _______________.A. all living things on the Earth depend on the Sun for their foodB. a forest looks dark in winter because it absorbs solar energyC. only 0.023% of the energy from the Sun is made use of on the EarthD. greenhouse gases allow heat energy to escape from the Earth’s surfaceC62. When people come to visit the Gallery, they should ____________.A. leave all their carried items at the checkroomsB. have all their carried items x-rayed at the entranceC. take all their carried items with them without inspectionD. have all their carried items inspected at the entrance63.

College, carrier, and life itself got in the way. In fact, Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit of the dreams. There, in the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future, and nothing could stop him.Over the phone, his mother told him, “Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is Wednesday.” Memories fleshed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days.“Jack, did you hear me?”“Oh, sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. it’s been so long since I thought of him. I’m sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago,” Jack said.“Well, he didn’t forget you. Every time I saw him he’d ask how you were doing. He’d reminisce (回忆) about the many days you spent over ‘his side of the fence’ as he put it, ” Mom told him.“I loved that old house he lived in,” Jack said.“You know, Jack, after your father died, Mr. Belser stepped in to make sure you had a man’s influence in your life,” she said.“He’s the one who taught me carpentry. I wouldn’t be in this business if it weren’t for him. He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important. Mom, I’ll be there for the funeral.” Jack said.Busy as he was, he kept his word. Jack caught the next flight to his hometown. Mr. Belser’s funeral was small and uneventful. He had no children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed away.The night before he had to return home, Jack and his Mom stopped by to see the old house next door one more time, which was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories. Every picture, every piece of furniture … Jack stopped suddenly.“What’s wrong, Jack?” his Mom asked.“The box is gone,” he said.“What box?” Mom asked.“There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk. I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside. All he’d ever tell me was ‘the thing I value most’,” Jack said.It was gone. Everything about the house was exactly how Jack remembered it, except for the box. He figured someone from the Belser family had taken it.“Now I’ll never know what was so valuable to him,” Jack said sadly.Returning to his office the next day, he found a package on his desk. The return address caught his attention.“Mr. Harold Belser” it read.Jack tore open the package. There inside was the gold box and an envelope. Jack’s hands shook as he read the note inside,“Upon my death, please forward this box and its contents to Jack Bernett. It’s the thing I valued most in my life.” A small key was taped to the letter. His heart racing, and tears filling his eyes. Jack carefully unlocked the box. There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch. Running his fingers slowly over the fine cover, he opened it.Inside he found these words carved: “Jack. Thanks for your time! Harold Belser.”“Oh. My God! This is the thing he valued most …”Jack held the watch for a few minutes, then called his assistant and cleared his appointments for the next two days. “Why?” his assistant asked.“I need some time to spend with my son,” he said.66. Why did Jack think Mr. Belser died years ago?A. College and career prevented him from remembering Mr. Belser.B. Jack was too busy with his business and family to think about Mr. Belser.C. Jack was too busy realizing his dreams to think about Mr. Belser.D. His present busy life washed away his children memories.67. Jack’s mother told him on the phone about Mr. Belser EXCEPT that _________.A. Mr. Belser often asked how Jack was doingB. Mr. Belser’s funeral would take place on WednesdayC. Mr. Belser had asked for Jack’s mailing addressD. Mr. Belser had pleasant memories of their time together68. Why did Belser send Jack his gold watch?A. Because he was grateful for Jack’s time with him.B. Because he had no children or relatives.C. Because he thought he had to keep his word.D. Because Jack had always wanted it during his childhood.69. Why did Jack say he needed some time to spend with his son?A. He was very tired of his work and wanted to have a good rest.B. He had promised to spare more time to stay with his son.C. He had missed his son and his family for days.D. He came to realize the importance of the time with his family.70. Which of the following is the most suitable title for this passage?A. The Good Old TimesB. What He Valued MostC. An Old Gold WatchD. The Lost Childhood Days第四部分：任务型阅读(共10小题，每小题１分，满分10分)请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

The skies are dark and cloudy.(Text 2)M: Lucy is going back to China next month, Alice.W: Oh, really?M: And she will not meet Richer this time.(Text 3)W: I hate to say it. But Jacky isn’t doing well in the film.M: Well. I think he’s only playing a different type of role. My sister thinks he is still the best. (Text 4)M: Professor Miners, could I talk to you about my paper?W: Sure. Come to my office between two to three. It’s Room 340.(Text 5)W: OK. Time to go home.M: I can’t. I haven’t finished the report about the newly opened restaurant.W: Well. If you carry on working like that, you’ll make yourself ill.(Text 6)M: I haven’t seen you for a long time. Where have you been?W: I went to New York to visit my sister and stayed there for two months. Actually, I really went to meet my new nephew.M: That’s great! How old is he?W:Well. He was five months old when I got there. And he could possibly be the most beautiful baby I have ever seen.M: What did you do in your sister’s home?W: I helped the baby and played with him a lot, which was nice. But what I enjoyed most was feeding him.(Text 7)M: Air pollution is so bad in this city. I think the government should stop people from driving cars on certain days.W: You have a point. Air pollution is a problem. But not letting people drive on certain days is a bad idea. People have to go to work by car.M:I’m afraid I don’t agree with you there. Reducing air pollution is really important. People are so used to driving that they don’t think about ways to do things. If we stop them from driving on certain days, maybe they could think of new ways to get around.W: I see your point. But I still think it wouldn’t be possible to stop people from driving.(Text 8)M: Let’s go and have lunch together.W:OK!M: By the way, I’m thinking of going to New Zealand around Christmas for three weeks. It’s such a beautiful country. I’ve never been there before.W:Have you booked the flight?M: Not yet. I’m planning to book my flight in two week s’ timeW: Book your flight right now.M:Why?W: Because the longer you leave it, the more expensive it will be. As a matter of fact, the prices may double at Christmas time. New Zealanders usually go home for Christmas.M:Then I’m going to book my flight tomorrow morning.(Text 9)M: Hello!W: Hello, Mike! This is Jane.M:Oh. Hello, Jane!W:Listen, Mike! I’ve got a real problem.M:What is it？W:The car’s broken down.M: Oh, not again.W: Yeah. I checked the oil and I checked almost everything. It’s just not starting at all.M: You have to get rid of it, you know.W：I know ,Ｉknow. But look, the thing is, I’ve got to pick Tom up at the airport. Can I……? M: Use my car? Yes, of course.W: That’ll be great! It’s very kind of you.M: Come on when you like. I don’t need it till tonight.W: OK! I’ll be around in about an hour. Thanks a lot!M: It’s all right. See you then!W: See you!(Text 10)W: OK! When we met last week, we talked about different kinds of short stories and some well-known short story writers. I remember that many of you said you liked the American writer Earnest Hemingway, right? I hope you all followed my advice and finished reading his story “ A day’s wait”, because as I said, we’re going to study it together in today’s lesson. Now since you’re supposed to have read this story, let’s have some discussion. Please look at the four questions on the blackboard. First, when and where does the story take place? Second, what does the boy read for in the story and what kind of person does he show himself to be? Third, what kind of person is the boy’s father? Four, what is the writer’s main purpose of writing the story? I’d like you to work in groups of four or five and present your answers in ten minutes. Is everything clear?。

Evaluate第五部分Good afternoon, everyone!The topic of my speech today is “Being a Good Listener”.Good listening can always show respect, promote understanding, and improve interpers onal relationship.Many people suggest that parents should listen more to their children, so they will u nderstand them better, and find it easy to narrow the generation gap; teachers should liste n more to their students, then they can meet their needs better, and place themselves in agood relationship with their students; students should listen more to their classmates, thus they will help and learn from each other, and a friendship is likely to be formed.What I want to stress is that each of us should listen more to others. Show your res pect and never stop others till they finish their talk; show you are interested by a support ive silence or a knowing smile; be open-minded to different opinions even though you do n’t like them. In a word, good listening can really enable us to get closer to each other.Thank you for your listening! (from )。
