A
On the first day of the 11th grade, our new math teacher Mr Washington asked me to go to the blackboard to do a math problem. I told him that I couldn’t do it. He asked, “Why not?” I paused, and then I said, “Because I’m educable mentally retarded (可教育智能迟滞).”
He came from behind his desk and looked at me. “Don’t ever say that again. Someone’s opinion of you does not have to become your reality,” he said.
It was a very special moment for me. Doctors said that I was educable mentally retarded in the fifth grade, and I was put back into the fourth grade. When I was in the eighth grade, I failed again.
But Mr Washington changed my life. This person always gave students the feeling that he had high expectations of them, and then all of the students did their best to live up to what those expectations were. He often said, “You have greatness within you.” One day, I caught up with him in the park ing place and said, “Mr Washington, is there greatness within me, sir?”
He said, “Yes, Mr Brown.”
“But what about the fact that I failed English, math, and history? What about that, sir? I’m slower than most kids.”
“It doesn’t matter. It just means that you have to work harder. Your grades don’t determine who you are or what you can produce in your life.”
“I want to buy my mother a house.”
“It is possible, Mr Brown. You can do that.” And he turned to walk away.
“Mr Washington?”
“What do you want now?”
“Uh, I’m the one, sir. One day you’re going to hear my name. I’m the one, sir.” School was a real struggle for me. Mr Washington put many demands on me. He made me believe that I could do it. At the end of that year, I was on the honor roll for the first time in my life.
Years later, I produced five programs on public television. When one of my programs was shown on the educational television channel, I had some friends call him. I was sitting by the phone waiting when he called me. He said, “May I spe ak to Mr Brown, please?”
“Oh, Mr Washington, is that you?”
“Yes, it’s me. You were the one, weren’t you?”
“Yes, sir, I was.”
41. What does Mr Washington mean by saying “Someone’s opinion of you does not have to become your reality”?
A. You needn’t hav e the same opinion as others.
B. You should believe what other people say.
C. What other people say about you may not be correct.
D. The doctor made a mistake.
42. What happened to the author at last?
A. He entered a good university.
B. He earned much honor.
C. He got a good job.
D. He made television programs.
43. In the passage, the author implies that _________.
A. people shouldn’t believe what doctors say
B. no one can be successful with hard work and confidence
C. no one is really educable mentally retarded
D. a good teacher can change a student’s life
44. The best title for the passage would be “__________”.
A. Don’t believe others
B. I am the one
C. My best teacher
D. I succeeded at last
B
As an effect of the high fuel prices spent on bus transportation, some American schools are changing to a four-day week. That means longer days instead of the traditional Monday through Friday schedule.
Having been approved for three years and beginning in the fall, students in the Maccray school district in Minnesota will be in school from Tuesday to Friday. Each school day will be 65 minutes longer. Officials say the district expects to save about sixty-five thousand dollars a year in transportation costs.
In new Mexico, the first school district changed to a four-day week in 1974 because of the Arab oil boycott(抵制). Now, 17 out of 89 districts use it.
In Custer, South Dakota, students have been going to school four days a week since 1995. Superintendent Tim Creal says the change has saved about one million dollars
over just the past eight years. He sees other benefits, too. Students get more instructional time, and activities that used to take up class time are now held on non-school days. He says that in the future, the growth of online classes could make it possible to require even fewer days in school. High fuel prices are driving college students to take more online classes.
A four-day school week sounds like a great idea for students and teachers, but working parents may have to pay for child care for that fifth day.
45. According to Tim Creal, what makes it possible to have even fewer days in school?
A. The increasing number of private tutors.(私人教师)
B. The development of teaching methods.
C. The increase in the number of online classes.
D. The growth in the income of Americans.
46. It can be learned from the passage that______
A. students will be in school from Monday to Tuesday.
B. four-day week was first carried out in South Dakota.
C. Maccray will save one million dollars every year.
D. Minnesota state has approved the four-day week plan
47. The passage is mainly about______
A. some school’s four-day week plan
B. districts using a four-day week.
C. how to save on transportation fees.
D. expense of school transportation.
C
48. "The Plaza" here is the name of ________.

49. How much do you have to pay if you buy a book of $10 in New York?

D. $10
50. When you visit New York, You should
A. eat at McDonald's every day

D. people have to eat only one kind of food in New York
D
Parties, iPods, concerts, movies, TV shows, video games, traffic. All of these things of the modern world make life entertaining and enjoyable. But our 21st-century lifestyle is also loud and, if we don’t take notice, it can have an effect on our hearing.
Most teenagers don’t think about hearing loss. But if you experience any of the following symptoms（症状）, you may already be hearing damaged: you make efforts to hear normal talk, you have to turn up the TV or radio so high that others complain, you watch other people’s expressions to understand what they are saying, you ask people to repeat themselves, you misunderstand what people are saying or you hear ringing in your ears.
iPods and other MP3 players are as common as the clothes you wear, and just as fashionable. But if you turn up an iPod to more than 60 percent of its maximum volume （最大音量）,and listen to music for more than an hour, you are asking for trouble. And, it does not matter if the music you play is classical, rock or heavy metal.
Some researchers find that young people who break the so-called 60-percent/60-minute rule in listening to iPods are at the risk of suffering hearing loss.
Why is an iPod dangerous? With ear buds placed directly in the ear canal and high-volume music played over a long period of time, it’s like working in a loud factory all day, being a maintenance（修理）person under a jet airplane or using a jackhammer（手提钻）on a building site.
Similarly, iPod music can cause a short time or permanent（永久的）hearing damage.
A loud iPod can cause a ruptured（破裂的）eardrum and, over time, may cause permanent damage to the tiny hairs in the inner ear. If these tiny hairs are damaged, they cannot effectively send sounds to the auditory nerves（听觉神经）that connect to the brain. If this happens,hearing loss becomes permanent.
52. Which of the following shows that you are suffering hearing loss?
A. You are interested to listen to others’ talking.
B. You have to read others’ expressions to understand them.
C. You can only understand others over the phone.
D. You always think you hear the ringing of the phone.
53. Which of the following is TRUE when you listen to music?
A. Listen at least an hour every time.
B. Turn up the volume to the highest level.
C. keep the sound lower than 60% of its highest volume.
D. Choose classical, rock or heavy metal music.
54. What is the correct order of causing permanent hearing loss?
a. The eardrum is broken.
b. The auditory nerves cannot receive sounds.
c. Tiny hairs are damage
d.
d. Ear buds are placed directly in the ear canal.
e. High-volume music is played over a long time.
A. d-a-c-b-e
B. e-c-a-b-d
C. b-c-a-d-e
D. d-e-a-c-b
55. This passage is mainly about.
A. music that teenagers like
B. hearing problems caused by the loud world
C. ways that teenagers enjoy music
D. dangerous modern lifestyles of teenagers. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

Smi les and tears are part of life. But do you find enough time for laughing? I’m not asking if you experience lots of good times. Of course, we should laugh during the happy times. 56.
57But she wrote one about a more serious subject--cancer in children. The book is titled I WANT TO GROW HAIR, I WANT TO GROW UP. Erma talks with many children who have cancer and learns important lessons from them. She learns, for example, that cancer survivors（幸存者）know how they should smile at life, though they are receiving chemotherapy（化疗）.
58.Jessica’s leg was cut off at the knee because of cancer. She was learning
to wear a prosthesis（假肢）.Jessica told about playing soccer. She hit the ball hard with her foot. The ball flew off in one direction while her man-made leg flew another way. Then the brave girl lay on the floor, laughing happily.
As the saying goes, “59”Do you find plenty of time to laugh?
You can, if you find reasons to laugh during the difficult times. Survivors know how to laugh. If you can laugh even when you’re in trouble, you will make it. Remember, laugh and the whole world laughs with you.60.

Ⅳ完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）
阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从36—55各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

When I was a college student, I did a lot of traveling abroad. That was because a professor 61 me to do so. She said,“Now it is the time for you to travel around the world, 62 your knowledge through actual experiences and have fun?” I63 her.
Since I started to work for a 64 company, however, I have done most of my traveling through the Internet. By using the Internet, I have seen the 65 of many cities on my computer screen. And I have really made business 66, too. With the help of the Internet, I have also got 67 about food in different countries.
Therefore, I was beginning to feel that actual trips were 68 necessary when I happened to read a famous chef's (厨师) comment on the Internet. He said, “It is very difficult to have real Italian food in a foreign country, because we enjoy food and the
69 around us at the same time. So why don't you fly over to Italy and enjoy real Italian
70? “Those words reminded me of my 71 advice. As information technology 72, you might be able to do without making some real trips. But this also means that you will miss the various 73 you can get from traveling.
Today there are people who 74 direct communication with others and spend much of their time on the Internet. It is not surprising to see a group of people 75 not with each other but into their micro phones. It seems as if such people are76 by an invisible wall. They seem to be losing out on a good chance to 77 and talk with other people. I do not think that they are taking good advantage of information technology. We should use information technology as a tool to make our daily 78 more fruitful. However, we should never let it 79 our time for face to -face communication. Let's make use of information technology more 80,and have great fun in experiencing the actual world.

Dear Peter,
You are very upset that your parents don’t permit you to attend a hip-hop training course on the weekend. I understand your situation. Maybe your parents are worried that you will spend so much time on it that your study will be affected.
I suggest you have a good talk with your parents. You can also turn to your dance teacher for help. You should make you parents aware of the benefits of the training class. For example, the training will build up your body and make your mind relaxed. What’s more, you can communicate with more people and learn a lot about society. Of course, you must promise that you will not spend too much time on it.
I’m sure your parents will agree with you in the end.
Yours,
Jack。
