What was the worse was he found himself unable to ask for help---his mobile phone went out of 16 as a result of exhausted battery. Nothing could be done but to 17 in cold wilderrness. It was 8 hours later that day when the rescue finally came .It is almost unimaginable that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more18 was his explanation: “First of all I checked up my physical 19 and found myself not infatal danger. As there was no way to call for help, I leaned back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from 20 . In this way I dozed(打盹)off.”His story put an end to my regret for the 21 of an exploration adventure that happened last year. A group of young men trying to explore a mountain cave and got lost. Unable to find a way out in the dark cave, they were frightened and ran 22 without a sense of direction .Finally they fell dead in fear and exhaustion. According to the rescue people that found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10metersaway from the opening of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to 23 themselves, they would probably sense a faint light glimmering not far away.Don't you think that you can compare it with life itself? When you meet with difficulties in life and work, you are lost in darkness. Remind yourself that it's unclear yet and you needn't put up struggle24 . It seems to be a negative attitude. but a person who can 25 to do so must have foresight as well as a great courage in the first place.三、阅读（共两节满分45分）第一节阅读理解（共20小题每题2分共40分）AWhen my first wartime Christmas came, I was in basic training in New Jersey and not sure if I would make it home for the holidays. Only on the afternoon of December 23 was the list of men who would have the three-day holiday posted. I was one of the lucky soldiers. It was Christmas Eve when I arrived home, and a little snow had fallen. Mother opened the front door. I could see beyond her, into the corner of the living room where the tree had always stood. There were lights, all colors, and ornaments shining against the green of a pine."Where did it come from?" I asked."I asked the Gates boy to cut it," my mother said. "I wouldn't have had one just for myself, but when in great need... such a rush! He just brought it in this afternoon."The pine reached to the proper height, almost to the ceiling, and the Tree Top Crystal Star was in its place. A few green branches reached out a little awkwardly at the side, I thought, and there was a bit of bare trunk showing in the middle. But the tree filled the room with warm light and the whole house with the pleasant smell of Christmas."It's not like the one you used to find," my mother went on. "Yours were always in good shape. I suppose the Gates boy didn't know where to look for a better one. But I couldn't be fussy.""Don't worry," I told her. "It's perfect."It wasn't, of course, but at the moment I realized something for the first time: All Christmas trees are perfect.26.What did his mother's Christmas tree look like?27.Which of the following is TRUE according to the story?A．One soldier told the writer he would have a three-day holiday for ChristmasB．When the writer got home , the Gates boy was cutting a Christmas treeC．His mother would not complaint for the Christmas tree which looked awkwardD．all the soldiers were lucky to go home for Christmas during the war28.From the passage, we can infer that ______ .A．The writer spent his first Christmas during the war .B．the writer didn't like the tree cut by someone elseC．the writer used to cut very beautiful Christmas treesD．his mother didn't want to have a Christmas tree during wartime29.What does the writer mean by saying “All Christmas trees are perfect”?A．Nothing is as perfect as Christmas.B．Once at home, everything is so nice.C．During the war, trees are hard to find.D．All Christmas trees are the most beautiful.30.Which would be the best title for this passage ? ______.A．A Soldier and the Christmas TreeB．How Soldiers Spent Their ChristmasC．The Perfect Christmas TreeD．Christmas and a Special TreeBIn Silicon Valley, it's never too early to become an entrepreneur. Just ask 13-year-old David Moore. The eighth-grader has launched a company last October to develop low-cost machines to print Braille (布莱叶盲文). David built a Braille printer with a Lego Mindstorms EV3 kit as a school science fair project last year after he asked his parents a simple question: How do blind people read? "Google it," they told him. David then did some online research and was shocked to learn that Braille printers cost at least $2,000 — too expensive for most blind readers."I just thought that price should not be there. I know that there is a simpler way to do this," said David, who demonstrated how his printer works at the kitchen table where he spent many late nights building it. David wants to develop a desktop Braille printer that costs around $350 and weighs just a few pounds, compared with current models that can weigh more than 20 pounds. "My end goal would probably be having most of the blind people ... using my Braille printer," said David, who lives in the Silicon Valley suburb of Santa Clara, just minutes away from Intel headquarters.After the “Braigo”---a name that combines Braille and Lego--won numerous awards and enthusiastic support from the blind community, David started Braigo Labs last summer with an initial $35,000 investment from his dad. "We as parents started to get involved more, thinking that he's on to something and this new way process has to continue," said his father, Matthew Moore, an engineer who works for Intel.Intel officials were so impressed with David's printer that in November they invested an undisclosed sum in his start-up. They believe he's the youngest entrepreneur to receive venture capital money invested in exchange for a financial stake in the company. "He's solving a real problem, and he wants to go off and challenge an existing industry," said Edward Ross, director of Inventor Platforms` at Intel. Now the company is using the money to hire professional engineers and advisers to help design and build Braille printers based on David’s ideas. It aims to have a prototype (样机) ready for blind organizations to test this summer and have a Braigo printer on the market later this year.31.

Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according to an official report on youth violence, "In our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence". Given that this is the ease, why aren't students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive ears, or stay physically fit?First of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult (侮辱). For example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to violence. The problem isn't in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict.Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution (解决) : stay calm. Once the student feels calmer, he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well Rude words, name-calling, and accusations only add fuel to the emotional fire. On the other hand, soft wordsspoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy (策略) for conflict resolution : listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterward, the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speaker's position. Then the two people should change roles.Finally, students need to consider what they are hearing. Tiffs doesn't mean trying to figure out what's wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. For example, a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themselves questions such as these: How did this start? What do I really want? What am I afraid of? As the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesn't, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.There will always be conflict in schools, but that doesn't mean there needs to be violence. After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to Educators for Social Responsibility, "64 percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom; 75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student co-operation; and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves'. Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends, teachers, parents, bosses, and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.41. From Paragraph 2 we can learn thatA. violence is more likely to occur at lunchtimeB. a small conflict can lead to violenceC. students tend to lose their temper easilyD. the eating habit of a student is often the cause of a fight42. What does the underlined word conflict probably mean?A. 斗争B. 冲突C. 欺凌D. 辱骂43. Why do students need to ask themselves the questions stated in Paragraph 5?A. To find out who is to blame.B. To get ready to buy new things.C. T o make clear what the real issue is.D. T o figure out how to stop the shouting match.44. After the conflict resolution program was started in Atlanta, it was found that_____.A. the teacher-student relationship greatly improvedB. the students’ sense of responsibility was awokenC. The students could deal with friends and teachers without any difficultyD. there was a decrease in classroom violence45.
