B
A man noticed his father alive on television — five years after he thought he had cremated(火化) him. A body discovered three years after his disappearance in 2000 was thought to be the pensioner (a retired person), but it’s now emerged(顯出) it wasn’t.
When John Delaney disappeared, he was spending much of his time living outside, and sleeping on the streets. He was last seen in a hospice(收容所) in Manchester. His family searched the streets of the city for him but had no luck. So when a badly-rotten body was found in the grounds of the Manchester Royal Infirmary in 2003, wearing similar clothes, police believed it was Mr Delaney and his family held a funeral.
But earlier this year his son, John Renehan, saw a picture of his father on a BBC programme.
An appeal was being made for anyone who knew the man — who had memory loss—to give information.
John Renehan:
Well I knew at that very moment that was my dad. I knew at that very moment. Obviously his face, it was a bit changed, but I just knew at that very moment that was my dad. It emerged that John Delaney had been living in a care home for the last eight years.
Police have admitted they made mistakes and their enquiries were insufficient. Mr Delaney’s son now wants to know the identity of the man he cremated — thinking it was his father.
41．John Renehan cremated his “father”         .
A．in 2003                  B．in 2000                   C．in 2005                   D．in 2008
42．What mistake did police make?
A．They couldn’t find Mr Delaney as soon as possible.
B．In 2003, they took a badly-rotten body for Mr Delaney.
C．They didn’t give any information to John Renehan.
D．They made John Renehan cremate the rotten body.
43．The most probable reason why Delaney disappeared was that        .
A．he had memory loss.                                   B．his family disliked him
C．he liked to live outside                     D．he met with a friendly family
44．It can be inferred from the passage that Delaney       .
A．has recovered his memory
B．often quarrelled with his family
C．loitered(游蕩) in the streets for 5 years
D．was once a man with luck
45．Which of the following is the best title?
A．A Badly-rotten Body                                   B．Missing Body
C．Missing Father                                       D．Dead Father

Mr. Obama faces the deepest economic crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s. The Dow Jones Industrial Average of leading stocks has lost nearly thirty of its value.

That amount could increase.

第三部分：閱讀理解（共20小題，每題2分，滿分40分）
第一節(jié)：(共15小題，滿分30分)
A.
Police in the Russian city of St. Petersburg were today searching for a rare missing leopard which was stolen yesterday when thieves attacked a TV producer and drove off in his luxury Mercedes 4×4.
The amur leopard, which was in the boot, is one of the world’s most highly endangered species, with fewer than 45 left in the wild in Russia’s remote far east. About 300 others are captive in zoos around the world.
According to its owner, Mikhail Barakin, the thieves were wearing masks. They attacked him and his driver, throwing both of them out of the vehicle, shortly after they drove to St. Petersburg with leopard from Moscow.
“She’s a female leopard cub and she’s incredibly tame,” Barakin told the Guardian this morning. “She’s just over a month old. The leopard was brought up in captivity.”
He went on, “We had been driving all night with the leopard in a travel cage. The plan was to take her to the vet. My driver and I were in the process of setting the leopard in the trunk of my Mercedes…when three masked assailants attacked us. They managed to get away with the car. My suspicion is the theft was done to order.”
Barakin said the leopard, a present from a Moscow businessman, was far more valuable than the stolen Mercedes. He has offered a ￡85,400 reward for its safe return, and says he is prepared to drop all charges if the thieves bring the animal back.
The leopard was to have been housed in a purpose-built enclosure on a country estate outside St. Petersburg, he added. Barakin said he had hired a specialist to look after it, and was planning to use the cub in TV commercials.
36. We can infer from the passage that the three assailants ______.
A. probably came for the leopard                                 B. would return the leopard safely
C. didn’t know there was a leopard in the car                D. were known to Mikhail Barakin
37. The leopard was believed to be more valuable because ______.
A. it was already tamed                                          B. it could be kept as a pet
C. it would be used in TV commercials                    D. it was an endangered species
38. Mikhail Barakin drove the leopard to ______.
A. put her in a bigger place                                    B. use it in TV commercials
C. put her in better care                                          D. keep her in the zoo
39. If the thieves brought the leopard back, Mikhail Barakin would ______.
A. send them to prison                                           B. give them a reward
C. give them the car as a reward                              D. not charge them
40. The underlined word “boot” in Paragraph 2 probably refers to ______.
A. a special cage                                                    B. a type of shoe
C. the trunk of a car                                               D. a kind of camera

George, when your big brother and your little dog and I walked you up to schools today, you
had no idea how I was feeling.
You were so excited. You had packed and unpacked your pencils and safety scissors in your backpack a dozen times. I am really going to miss those lazy mornings when we waved your brother and sister off to school.
Because you are my youngest, I had learned a few things by the time you came along. I found out that the seemingly endless days of babyhood are gone like lightning. I blinked(眨眼), and your older siblings were setting off for school as eagerly as you did this morning, I was one of the lucky ones; I could choose whether to work or not. By the time it was your turn, the shining prizes of career advancement and a double income had lost their brightness. A splash(濺水) in the pool with you in your bright red boots or "just one more" rereading of your favorite book, Frog and Toad Are Friends, meant more. You didn't go to preschool and I hope that doesn't hold you back. You learned numbers by helping me count the soda cans we returned to the store.
I have to admit that in my mind's eye, an image of myself while you're in school has developed, I see myself updating all the photo albums and starting that novel I always wanted to write. As the summer wound down and more frequent quarrels erupted between you and your siblings, I was looking forward to today. And then this morning, I walked you up the steep hill to your classroom. You found the coat hook with your name above it right away, and you gave me one of your characteristically fierce, too-tight hugs. This time you were ready to let go before I was.
Maybe someday you will deliver a kindergartner to the first day of school. When you turn at the door to wave good-bye, he or she will be too deep in conversation with a new friend to notice. Even as you smile, you'll feel something warm on your cheek.
And then, you’ll know…
64．What does the author mean by the underlined sentence?
A．She gave up the job with a big salary and prizes.
B．She could only recall her good job at home now.
C．Many good jobs with better pay attracted her but she didn’t take them.
D．Compared with bringing up the baby, work seemed to fade to her.
65．Which statement is NOT TRUE about George’s family according to the letter?
A．George’s parents gave birth to three children
B．The Georges is a double income family.
C．The children had more arguments during the summer.
D．They recyled soda cans.
66．The passage tries to show us         .
A．how excited a child will be on his first day to school
B．how deeply a mother loves her child
C．how many efforts a mother has made to raise a child
D．how a mother plans her future life after her children go to school
