It was a normal summer night, humidity(潮濕)hung in the thick air. The only sound was my sister’s heavy __36__ from the bed next to me.
I couldn’t go to _37__, partly because of my cold and partly because of my __38__ for the next day. My mum had said that tomorrow was going to be a __39__ .
Sweat stuck to my aching body. Finally, I gathered enough __40__ to sit up. I looked out of my small window into the night. There was a big bright __41__ hanging in the sky, giving off a magic glow.
My sister turned over as though she was as light as air. Why could she sleep soundly? Why wasn’t she __42__ too? Did she know about tomorrow?
I couldn’t stand the __43__ anymore, so I did what I always do to make myself feel better. I went to the __44__ and picked up my toothbrush and toothpaste. Pouring the red paste onto the brush, I cleaned back and forth, up and down.
Then I walked downstairs to look for some __45__of movement, some life. Gladiator, my cat, __46__ me as he meowed(貓叫)his sad song. He was on the old orange couch (長沙發(fā)), sitting up on his front legs,   47   something to happen. He looked at me as if to say, “I’m __48__, pet me. I need a good hug.” Even the couch begged me to sit on it.
In one movement I settled down onto the soft   49 . This couch represented my birth, my parents’ marriage, and hundreds of other little __50__.
As I held Gladiator, my heart started beating heavily. My mind was __51__ with questions: What’s life? Am I really alive? Are you listening to me? Every time I moved my hand down Gladiator’s body, I had a __52__ thought; each touch sang a different song.
I forgot all about the __53__ and the next day’s surprise. The __54__ was so full of warmth and silence that I sank into its arms. Falling asleep with the big cat in my arms, I felt all my worries __55__ move away.

第二節(jié):完型填空(共20小題,每小題1.5分,滿分30分)
Recently I was invited to a friend’s house for supper—and had a meal I have never had before.
All the friends invited were a little  36 . It’s not that Ben is unsociable, or a bad cook, but it’s just that he never 37 more than he has to. So how come he was inviting us round for a meal? Had he bought something 38  for his friends? He greeted us at the door and showed us into his dining room where a 39 table was waiting for us. “Nothing but the 40  for my friends! ” said Ben. We all sat down and looked 41 at each other—what was he  42 ?
Ben returned with four bowls of hot soup. “It’s a 43 of carrots, potatoes and tomatoes, ”said Ben. The next 44 was also a little strange 45 we didn’t quite know what it was again. “It’s just another mixture of vegetables. ”
As we ate we chatted and finally the 46 turned back to what we were eating. “Was there a recipe(菜譜) for this, ”asked Marina, “or did you 47 it up? ”Ben put his fork down. “What I cooked 48 what I could find. ”Marina was surprised. “But you can find anything in supermarkets these days. ”“But there’s 49 choice in what you can find 50 supermarkets, ” he replied.
 51 that we had all finished the food, Ben decided to tell the truth. He had read recently that supermarkets usually 52 away 5 percent of their food every day. So Ben decided to look inside his local supermarket bins. There he found food that was slightly out of 53 , boxes of thrown-away vegetables and fruit.
So Ben had 54  provided a decent meal for his friends, and made us aware of the fact that there are many poor people who need the food, but the amount of food thrown away is enough to  55 millions of people.

閱讀下面短文,掌握其大意,然后從36-55各題所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
The purpose of a letter of application (求職) is to help you to "sell" yourself. It should state   16  the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have   17   . It should be simple, human, personal and brief without  18   out any necessary facts.
In writing a letter of application, keep in   19  that things a possible employer is most   20  to want to know about are your qualification, your achievements and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part.   21  the first few sentences fail to  22   the reader's attention, the rest of the letter may not be   23  at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer, not  24  your own needs or desires. For example, instead of beginning with "I saw your  25  in today's newspaper". You might say "I have made a careful  26  of your advertising during the past six months" or "I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives   27  your product and why they like it".
Try to  28  generalities (籠統(tǒng)) . Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now   29 . College graduates looking for their first positions often ask "What can I  30  in a letter? Employers want experience---which, naturally, no 31   has. The answer is that everything you have ever done is  32 .
It is important to write a good strong closing remark for your letter.  33  a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent  34  is to enclose (內(nèi)附) a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it  35   for a possible employer to get in touch with you.
16. A. clearly          B. carefully         C. obviously             D. easily
17. A. found           B. done            C. known             D. heard
18. A. sending          B. taking            C. leaving              D. picking
19. A. brain            B. sight            C. order                D. mind
20. A. probable          B. possible         C. likely                D. able
21. A. While           B. Although        C. As                  D. If
22. A. pay              B. win             C. show                D. fix
23. A. kept             B. continued        C. written              D. read
24. A. to              B. for              C. into                  D. from
25. A. advertisement      B. report         C. article               D. introduction

Marlin Perkins’ keen interest in animals, especially snakes, brought him a lot of trouble when he was young. His landlady never excused him for keeping snakes in his closet. After two years of college, he left school and found a job in a zoo, sweeping the sidewalks for $3.50 a day. He was very happy about it because he could now watch animals and study them all day long. He soon became an official in charge of reptiles (爬行動(dòng)物)and then director of the Buffalo Zoo.
Through his snake-hunting expeditions, Perkins won his fame as a snake expert. His love for snakes is such that he thinks of them in terms of (根據(jù)) personalities. However, snakes do not have the universal appeal as he wishes. Even Perkins’ most favorite animal Bushman, the 550-pound toughest African ape, was frightened by snakes. Bushman once escaped from his cage. Nothing could draw him back. Finally a keeper went to the reptile house, got three little snakes, and dangled (搖晃) them toward Bushman. The great ape nearly tore the place apart getting back to the safety of his cage.
Perkins likes all animals and takes more interest in them than many parents take in their own children. He keeps daily records on all the baby animals, takes their temperature and watches their diet strictly. Speaking about his success, Perkins sums up his philosophy of life as follows: “My life has taught me that the surest path to success is to find out what you most enjoy doing, then set out to do it.”
40.Perkins’ first zoo job was __________.
A. collecting snakes     B. sweeping sidewalks

A. he was easy to be nervous   B. most people dislike animals
even animals dislike snakes  D. he was a tough animal to manage
42.Perkins believes the best way to success is to __________.
A. do what you like most     B.work hard at it
C.do what people don’t like   D.be brave enough
43. According to the passage, Marlin Perkins entered his life work through ______.
A. help      B.chance        C.choice      D.necessity
44.A good title for the passage would be ________.
A.Lovely Snakes                B.A Good Expert

Life will probably be very different in 2050. First of all, it looks as though TV channels will have disappeared by 2050. Instead, people will choose a program from a “menu” and a computer will send the program directly to the television. Today, we can use the World Wide Web to read newspaper stories and see pictures on a computer thousands of kilometers away. By 2050, music, films, programmers, newspapers and books will come to us in this way.
In many places, agriculture is developing quickly and people are growing fruit and vegetables for export. This uses a lot of water. Therefore, there could be serious shortages. Some futurologists (未來學(xué)家) predict that water could be the cause of wars if we don’t act now.
In future, cars will run on new,clean fuels and they will go very fast. Cars will have computers to control the speed and there won’t be any accidents. Today, many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are.By 2050, the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination. Also, by 2050, space planes will fly people from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just two hours.
A number of large companies now use robots instead of people who ask for pay rises, or go on strike, and can not work 24 hours a day. By 2050, we will see robots everywhere—in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.
By 2050, we will be able to help blind and deaf people see and hear again. In the last few years, scientists have discovered how to control genes and have already produced clones of animals. By 2050,scientists will be able to produce clones of people and decide how they look, how they behave and how much intelligence they have. Scientists will be able to do these things, but should they? 
小題1:By 2050, people will get information mainly by _______.

In the face of rising gas costs, many consumers are beginning to consider the choice of a hybrid(混合動(dòng)力的) vehicle--one which operates on both gas and electricity. All of the models of hybrid car will save money, but are they really effective when all of the costs of maintenance(維修) and other considerations are included in?
First of all, consider the cost of buying a hybrid vehicle. Depending on the model, hybrid vehicles can cost anywhere from $2,000 to $5,000 more than the traditional models. However, some say that as the hybrid cars become increasingly more available as a reflection of demand, the prices can be expected to drop, making them more cost effective when it comes to the initial investment(初始投資).
Also important to keep in mind is the fact that the hybrid cars have a much more specialized system than the standard vehicle, and will therefore require more specialized workers to repair them when they break down.
It seems as though, at least for the time being, the purchase of a hybrid vehicle for the average consumer may not be the best choice when it comes to saving money. It is important to keep several things in mind, however, when considering purchasing a hybrid model. Many consumers are choosing to purchase these cars because they represent a significant development in terms of environmental concerns over standard models. They also mean that as a whole, Western nations will become less dependent on oil as the only means of power.
Finally, it is necessary to remember that the hybrid car is a very new technology. Developed only within the last few years, the technology is still in the starting stage, where costs will continue to be high. As time passes, the development of the hybrid technology will begin to push prices down to the point where hybrids are more competitive with the traditionally fueled models of the past.
72.What is the purpose of writing this article?
A. To tell the readers about the advantages of hybrid cars.
B. To warn the readers of the disadvantages of hybrid cars.
C. To advise people to think twice before buying hybrid cars.
D. To call on people to buy hybrid cars to protect the environment.
73.Which is the benefit of hybrid cars?
A. Consuming less gas.         B. Being easier to drive.
C. Lower initial investment.  D. Lower maintenance cost.
74.What do we know from the passage?
A. The hybrid technology is very new and mature as well.
B. It’s not easy to repair a hybrid car due to its special system.
C. Many average consumers can not afford to buy hybrid cars.
D. The traditional vehicles are much safer to drive than hybrid cars.
75.We can infer from the passage that          in the future.
A. the traditional cars will gradually disappear
B. the hybrid vehicles will gradually disappear
C. the cost of hybrid cars will be more reasonable
D. the hybrid technology will bring oil prices down
