I was tired and hungry after a long day of work. When I walked into the
living-room, my 12-year-old son looked 21 at me and said, "I love you." I didn't know what to say. 22 several seconds all I could do was to stand there and 23 down at him. My first thought was that he must need 24
with his homework or he was trying to 25 me for some news.
Finally I asked, "What was that all about?"
"Nothing," he said. "My teacher said we should 26 our parents that we love them and see what they say. It' s 27 ” .
The next day I called his teacher to find out more about this "experiment" and how the other parents had 28 .
"Most of the fathers had the 29 reacting as you did," the teacher said. "When I first 30 we try this, I asked the children what they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble. The
31 is," the teacher explained, "felling loved is an important part of
32 . It is something all people 33 . What I' m trying to tell the children is that it' s too 34 we don' t all express those feeling. A boy should be 35 to tell his dad he loves him."

When my son came to me that evening, I held on to him for ___37 second. And just 38 he pulled away, I said in my deepest, most manly voice, "Hey, I love you, too."

第二部分：阅读理解(共25小题，第一节每小题2分，第二节每小题1分；满分45分)
第一节：阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。

A
One day I took several pairs of shoes to the shoemaker to be mended. After a week I went to take them back. Four months later, my husband and I were invited to dinner. I took out a pair of shoes. I hadn't worn them since they were mended. I put one shoe on my right foot, and then I put the other on my left. But I felt that the other one was on the wrong foot. I took both shoes off for a closer look. They were nearly the same style (式样), colour and size, but each was for the right foot. Then I thought of the shoemaker. Though I was sure he wouldn't remember me after such a long time, I called him. "Thank goodness you called me at last!" He said happily. "An angry woman has been troubling me for months!"
41. How many pairs of shoes did the woman take to the shoemaker to be mended?
A. One shoe.
B. Two pairs of shoes.
C. Only three shoes.
D. Some pairs of shoes.
42. The shoemaker __________.
A. was very careful with his work
B. mistook one of the woman' s shoes for the other woman' s
C. forgot the woman because it happened a long time ago
D. was troubled by two men
43. Did the woman look at the shoes carefully after they were taken back?
A. Yes, she did.
B. The story didn't tell us.
C. No, but her husband did.
D. No, she didn't.
44. Which of the following is right?
A. The woman wore the shoes as soon as they were mended.
B. Both shoes were the same style, but different colour and size.
C. Both shoes were for the right foot.
D. The shoemaker called the woman after a long time.
B
As we know, most of the material things in our daily life have to be bought
with money. But money is not all powerful. Money can't buy many things such as
time and true love. There are 24 hours in a day. Sometimes when we are very happy, we wish that the period of happiness would last longer. But no matter
what we do, or how much money we are willing to pay, we cannot make a day
last longer than 24 hours. On the other hand, when we are unhappy, money
cannot make the unhappy time pass away more quickly. True love is another
thing which money cannot buy. Suppose we have someone who really loves us
very much. Once he dies, he can give us no more love. Can our money raise him
from death and make him love us as before? Here we can see very clearly that money cannot buy us love. Money can buy us diamond things, beautiful clothes,
but never time and love. So money, after all, is not all powerful.
45. According to the passage, it is quite impossible for you to buy ______.
A. true friendship
B. real diamond
C. a large house
D. an expensive car
46. Which of the sentences expresses the main idea of this passage?
A. Money cannot buy time and love.
B. Money is not powerful at all.
C. Money can buy people material things.
D. Money doesn't mean everything.
47.Through the passage the writer wants to tell people not to ______.
A. make money
B. waste money
C. save money
D. worship(崇拜) money
48. From the passage we can see that in our life, besides something material, we need
something ______.
A. spiritual
B. beautiful
C. lovely
D. useful
C
The water level of oceans rises and falls alternately twice a day. This movement of water is called the tide. Tides are causer by the pull of the sun and the moon on the earth' s surface; since the moon is closer, it affects the tides more than the sun. When the moon is directly overhead, it actually pulls on the water that is below it. This causes the water level to rise because the water is pulled away from the earth. As the moon disappears over the horizon, the pull lessens and the water level settles back towards the ocean bottom.
When the water reaches its highest level, we have high tide. And when the water comes to its lowest level, we have low tide from its lowest point, the water rises gradually for about six hours until it reaches high tide. Then it begins to fall continuously for about six hours until it reaches low tide. Then the cycle begins again.
49. Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?
A. The Moon and Ocean
B. The Moon and the Tide
C. Water Levels
D. The Pull of the Moon and the Sun
50. The pull of the moon on the earth' s surface is stronger than that of the sun
because ________ .
A. The moon is directly over the earth
B. The moon pulls the water away from the earth
C. The moon is closer to the earth
D. The moon moves around the earth
51. Water level reaches its low point when __________.
A. the moon is hidden by clouds
B. the moon' s effect is indirect
C. the moon moves far away
D. the sun is overhead
52. High tide occurs ________ .
A. every 12 hours
B. every 6 hours
C. every 24 hours
D. every 18 hours
D
These days, most people in Britain and the US do not wear very formal(正式) clothes. But sometimes it is important to wear the right things.
Many British people don’t think about clothes very much. They just like to be comfortable. When they go out to enjoy themselves, they can wear almost anything. At theatres, cinemas and concerts you can put on what you like from beautiful suits and dresses to jeans and sweaters. Anything goes, as long as you look clean and tidy.
But in Britain, as well as the US, men in office usually wear suits and ties, and women wear dresses or skirts (not trousers). Doctors and business people always wear
quite formal clothes. And in some hotels and restaurants men have to wear ties and women tidy dresses.
In any ways, Americans are less formal than Britain people, but they are more careful with their clothes. At home, or on holiday, most Americans wear informal or sporty clothes. But when they go out in the evening, they like to look nice. In good hotels and restaurants, men have to wear jackets and ties, and women wear pretty clothes.
It is difficult to say exactly what people wear in Britain and the US, because everyone is different. If you are not sure what to wear, watch what other people do and follow suit. You’ll feel more comfortable if you don’t look too different from others.
53. People in Britain and the US wear informal clothes when they___
A. go out to enjoy themselves
B. are in offices
C. are in big restaurants
D. go out to work
54. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Women are not allowed to wear trousers in office
B. Lawyers always wear formal clothes even though they are at home.
C. American people are more formal in dressing than British people
D. Though everyone is different, they wear the same clothes in offices
55. “Anything goes” in the second paragraph means “___”
A. anything leaves
B. any clothes are acceptable
C. all the things around are all right
D. not any clothes are all right
56. Men wear ties when _ _in the US.
A. they meet their wives
B. they meet good friends
C. they eat something expensive
D. they have dinners in good restaurants

Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s. In the same way, children are learning to do the other things they learn to do without being taught to___ walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bike, compare(比较) their own performances(行为) with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.
If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine(日常) work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.
57. According to the passage, the best way for children to learn thing is by __ _.
A. listening to skilled people’s advice
B. asking older people many questions
C. making mistakes and having them corrected
D. doing what other people do
58. Which of the following does the writer think teachers should NOT do?
A. Give children correct answers.
B. Allow children to make mistakes.
C. Point out children’s mistakes to them
D. Let children mark their own work
59. According to the writer, teachers in school ___
A. allow children to learn from each other
B. point out children’s mistakes whenever found
C. correct children’s mistakes as soon as possible
D. give children more book knowledge
60. The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are_ __
A. different from learning other skills
B. the same as learning other skills
C. more important than other skills
D. not really important skills

(Possible version)
Father’s Gift for My Birthday
My birthday of this year fell on last Friday. My father promised to give me a special gift.
Last Friday morning, Father brought me to a village school in his hometown. The school had just one house with one classroom, which was small with dim light, and all the desks and chairs were made of rough boards. There were only 21 students, most of whom were boys. They were listening to the teacher attentively. The teacher told us, while their study conditions were poor, all the students studied very hard and two from the school even went to university last year.
I was deeply struck by their stories. Not until then did I realize that it was my father’s gift for my birthday!
