第一節(jié)     閱讀下面五篇短文，從每題后所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出最佳答案。
Many times my friend June would say, “If I ever get rich, I’m getting a completely new wardrobe and moving into a bigger apartment.” I thought of her words and her chances of being rich are about as good as mine. But, to everyone’s surprise, a few years ago June did come into a large inheritance(遺產(chǎn)).
At first June said very little about the money. As the initial(最初的)shock disappeared, she became excited. June is a great believer in making lists, so I wasn’t surprised to find her writing down all the ways she would spend her new wealth.
As time went on, what had been midway down the column was now at the top. At last, I said to her, “You know, it isn’t necessary to spend all your inheritance at once. Take some time; think about it.” “I know, I know,” she answered with a little bit anger.
Then one morning June called. “I’ve decided how I want to use my new inheritance. I want to see what you think,” she said. This wasn’t something I looked forward to, but we had been friends so long.
As we sat, June spread a sheet of paper on the table. To my great surprise, she had written only two words: Charities(慈善), and Grandchildren---in that order. Though I had vowed（發(fā)誓）to keep quiet, I couldn’t keep from asking how she came to this decision.
“Well,” she said, “I took your advice and thought about it.” She added, “Helping others means a lot to me, so I’m hoping this gift will help people in need.”
I interrupted. “But what about this big apartment you most hope to have?”
“At first it was hard, but it doesn’t seem as important any more,” she answered with a smile.
Then June moved her hand, and I could see a few words written in tiny letters at the bottom of the page. After having a look at the small print, I burst into laughter. June had written: AND one new wardrobe.
41.  From the passage we can learn that the writer ____________.
A. was richer than her friend June                              B. was no richer than her friend June
C. was poorer than her friend June                             D. was interested in money as June
42.  After making a list of how to deal with her inheritance, June ___________.
A. didn’t change it at all                                           B. had a quarrel with the writer
C. asked the writer for advice                                    D. often made some changes of it
43.  When June called the writer to talk about her new decision, the writer ___________.
A. felt that June would do something meaningful
B. refused at first, but changed her mind later
C. was eager to learn more about the new list
D. had decided not to make any comments on June’s list
44.  We can learn from the text that ______________.
A. helping others is more important than buying a bigger apartment
B. friendship doesn’t mean accepting the shortcomings of a friend
C. giving away one’s wealth needs time and courage
D. money can’t bring people real and lasting happiness

My job was to make classroom observations and encourage a training program that would enable students to feel good about themselves and take charge of their lives. Donna was one of the volunteer teachers who participated in this  36 .
One day, I entered Donna’s classroom, took a seat in the back of the room and   37 .All the students were working on a task. The student next to me was filling her page with “I Can’ts.” “I can’t kick the soccer ball.” “I can’t get Debbie to like me.” Her page was half full and she showed no    38   of stopping. I walked down the row and found   39  was writing sentences, describing things they couldn’t do.
By this time the activity aroused my    40   , so I decided to check with the teacher to see what was going on,    41    I noticed she too was busy writing “I can’t get John’s mother to come for a parents’ meeting.” …I felt it best not to interrupt.
After another ten minutes, the students were instructed to fold the papers in half and bring them to the front. They placed their “I Can’t” statements into an empty shoe box. Then Donna   42    hers. She put the lid on the box, tucked it under her arm and headed out the door.
Students followed the teacher. I followed the students. Halfway down the hallway Donna got a shovel(鏟子) from the tool house, and then marched the students to the farthest corner of the playground. There they began to    43  . The box of “I Can’ts” was placed at the    44   of the hole and then quickly covered with dirt. At this point Donna announced, “Boys and girls, please join hands and     45    your heads.” They quickly formed a circle around the grave.
Donna delivered the eulogy(悼詞).“Friends, we gathered here today to honor the memory of ‘I Can’t.’ He is   46  by his brothers and sisters ‘I Can’ and ‘I Will’. May ‘I Can’t’ rest in    47  . Amen!”
She turned the students    48    and marched them back into the classroom. They celebrated the    49    of “I Can’t”. Donna cut a large tombstone from paper. She wrote the words “I Can’t ”at the top and the date at the bottom, then hung it in the classroom. On those rare occasions when a student forgot and said, “I Can’t,” Donna    50    pointed to the paper tombstone. The student then remembered that “I Can’t” was dead and chose other statement.

Once upon a time there was a prince who wanted to marry a princess, but she would have to be a real princess. He travelled all over the world to find one, but    36   could he get what he wanted. There were enough princesses, but it was    37   to find out whether they were real ones. There was always something about them that was not as it    38    be. So he came home again and was sad,  39  he would have liked very much to have a real princess.
One evening a terrible storm    40   ; there was thunder and lightning, and the rain poured down in torrents. Suddenly a knocking was    41   at the city gate, and the old king went to open it. It was a princess    42    out there in front of the gate. But, good gracious! what    43   the rain and the wind had    44    her look. The water ran down from her hair and clothes; it ran down into the toes of her shoes and out again at the heels.    45   she said that she was a real princess.
“Well, we'll soon find that out.”    46    the old queen. But she said nothing, went into the bed-room, took all the bedding off the bedstead, and    47   a pea on the bottom; then she took twenty mattresses（床墊）and put    48   on the pea, and then twenty eiderdownbeds（鴨絨被）on top of the    49  .
On this the princess had to lie all night. In the morning she was asked    50   she had slept. "Oh, very badly!" said she. "I have    51    closed my eyes all night. Heaven only knows what was in the bed, but I was lying on something hard,    52   I am black and blue all over my body. It's horrible!"
Now they knew that she was a real princess because she had     53   the pea right through the twenty mattresses and the twenty eider-down beds.
Nobody but a real princess could be as    54   as that.
So the prince took her for his wife, for now he knew that he had a real princess. And the pea was put in the museum,    55   it may still be seen, if no one has stolen it.

A lot of teachers hate doodlers(亂寫亂畫的人)during classes．“Pay attention!” Teachers will often warn doodling students，sure that they must be daydreaming．
However, according to a recent study, doodling while listening to a boring lecture helps concentrate the attention：   
Andrade，a psychology professor in England asked participants to listen to a boring lecture． Half the participants were told to color in squares and circles freely on a piece of paper while listening to the lecture. The other half weren’t given a task．After it was over, the participants were asked to retell the lecture．   
Those given the doodling task(color in squares and circles)remembered 29 percent more information than the non-doodlers．Andrade said．  
“If someone is doing a boring task，like listening to a dull conversation，they may start daydream，”said Professor Andrade．
“Daydreaming distracts(使分心)them from the task，resulting in poorer performance．A  simple task，like doodling，can stop them from daydreaming without affecting their performance at the task，”he said．   
So the next time you’re doodling during a class，and you hear “pay attention”，you can tell  the teacher with confidence that you’ve been paying attention to every word． 
66．The passage mainly tells us        ．
A．doodling will be banned in classes  B. teachers are against doodling

67．Teachers hate doodlers because they thought         ．
A．doodlers are not good at study   B．doodlers are doing no task

A．a(chǎn) boring lecture is given      B．a(chǎn)n interesting story is told
C．watching a long TV program   D．having a conversation with the teacher
69．Professor Andrade thinks      ．
A．those given the doodling task can remember less information
B．if you have daydream during classes you’ll have a good memory

D．doodling can stop us from daydreaming
70．We can learn from the text that      ．

Chicago, a city in the State of Illinois, is the second largest in the United States. It stretches for 29 miles along the southwest shore of Lake Michigan. Its splendid centre faces the lake behind a pleasant park. The Chicago River flows through the heart of the city. The city of Chicago, 713 miles west of New York and 1858 miles east of San Francisco, is located at the conjunction(連接) of the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River system and surrounded by the productive farmlands of the Midwest. This makes the city the crossroads of the nation and the “ bread basket” of the nation. From its beginning as a frontier fort(要塞) settlement in 1803, commerce(商業(yè)) has been the key to Chicago’s development, especially since the railroads and stockyards(牲畜圍欄) were built in the 1840s and 1850s. Thousands of foreigners, attracted by the promise of steady jobs, have lived and worked there since the second half of the 19th century; thousands more come to visit its famous fairs, and millions of others cross it every day by road or railway. Chicago is the world’s biggest road and railway centre, and it should claim(要求得到身份或權(quán)利的承認(rèn)) the world’s busiest airport.

閱讀下面短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中,選擇出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。A
He has lived through various dangers but time may be running out for the Palestinian leader, Yasser Arafat.
On September 11, Israel announced its decision to remove him, following several Palestinian suicide bomb attacks on Israel. “He should be punished for the killings,” an Israeli official said, “He has done nothing to stop the terrorist groups.”
But the decision has angered many other countries. China said that Arafat is the true leader, elected by the Palestinian people, and removing him would harm the peace in the Middle East. Other governments share this idea.
Arafat himself said: “They can kill me, but never get me out of my country.” He has spent most of his life in danger as the most important aim of Israel. But, just like a cat with nine lives, Arafat escaped every time.
For years he has made a practice of sleeping in a different bed each night, thinking a moving person is harder to hit. In 1985, Israel sent fighter planes to kill Arafat. The wild bombing destroyed his office in Tunis but Arafat himself was unhurt. In 1992, the aircraft in which he was flying over North Africa broke in two during a crash landing. The pilot was killed but he managed to remain alive.
What is so unbelievable is that he always remains calm in great danger.
Israeli tanks and planes attacked his office building in Ram Allah in December 2001. When they saw the attackers coming, Arafat’s bodyguards ignored his orders to stay still and carried him to safety underground. Seconds later, several bombs were dropped nearby. Though safe, his bodyguards were so frightened that they were wet in sweat.
But, Arafat, with Israeli tanks only 200 meters away, showed no fear at all. He stayed in the damaged office, talking by phone with foreign leaders in hope of preventing further attacks from Israel.
All these experiences have made him a beloved leader to his people and an enemy to some others.
But has he used up the last of his nine lives? Only time will tell.
41.  Which of the following statements cannot be used to describe Arafat?
A．He went to visit a few foreign countries last year.
B．He is not afraid of death in face of his enemy.
C．His office used to be in Tunis.
D．He remained alive during an air crash in 1992.
42.  According to the passage, which statement is true?
A．In 1992, Arafat’s plane crashed in South Africa.
B．Israeli officers thought Arafat himself sent the terrorist groups to Israel.
C．China is the only country against Israel’s decision of removing Arafat.
D．Being Palestinian leader, Arafat would rather die in his own country than be driven away from his people.
43.  What did the author mean by saying “just like a cat has nine lives” when he talked about Arafat?
A．Arafat is as clever as a cat.
B．Arafat can live as long as a cat.
C．Arafat can stay alive after accidents or disasters as if he has nine lives.
D．Arafat should have died for at least 8 times.
44.  The underlined word “ignore” can be replaced by __________.
A．obey the instructions       B．take no notice of
C．pay much attention to     D．give out orders
45.  What’s the writer’s attitude towards Arafat’s future, judging from the last sentence of the passage?
A．Hopeful.   B．Interesting.      C．Satisfactory.     D．Doubtful.

第三部分：閱讀理解（共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分
Ammie Reddick from East Kilbride, Lanarkshire, was only 18 months old when she had the accident that had scarred（留下創(chuàng)傷） her for life. The curious child reached up to grab the wire of a hot kettle in the family kitchen and poured boiling water over her tiny infant frame.
Her mother Ruby turned round and, seeing Ammie horribly burnt, called an ambulance which rushed her daughter to a nearby hospital. Twenty percent of Ammie’s body had been burned and all of her burns were third-degree. There, using tissue taken from unburned areas of Ammie’s body, surgeons（外科醫(yī)生）performed complex skin grafts（移植） to close her wounds and control her injuries, an operation that took about six hours. Over the next 16 years, Ammie underwent 12 more operations to repair her body.
When she started school at Maxwelton Primary at age 4, other pupils made cruel comments or simply wouldn’t play with her. “ I was the only burned child in the street, the class and the school,” she recalled, “some children refused to become friends because of that.”
Today, age 17, Ammie can only ever remember being a burned person with scars; pain is a permanent part of her body. She still has to have two further skin grafts. Yet she is a confident, outgoing teenager who offers inspiration and hope to other young burns victims.
She is a member of the Scottish Burned Chindren’s Club, a charity set up last year. This month, Ammie will be joining the younger children at the Graffham Water Center in Cambridgeshire for the charity’s first summer camp. “I’ll show them how to shrug off unkind stares from others,” she says. Ammie loves wearing fashionable sleeveless tops, and she plans to show the youngsters at the summer camp that they can too. “I do not go to great lengths to hide my burns scars,” she says, “I gave up wondering how other people would react years ago.”
56.What would be the best title of the passage?
A. Angel of Hope                                        B. A seriously burned girl survives
C. Permanent scars and pain for a girl                D. Shrug off unkind stares
57. How many operations has Ammie already had?
A. One       B. Twelve        C. Thirteen        D. Fifteen
58. What did other children do when Ammie first went to school?
A. They were friendly to her                   B. They laughed at her
C. They were cruel to her                   D. They were afraid of her
59. Ammie will teach the younger children at the Graffham Water Center to ____.
A. hide their scars by proper dressing          B. face others’ unkindness bravely
C. recover quickly                                           D. live a normal life
60. Which of the following words is not proper to describe Ammie?
A. Confident      B. Outgoing       C. Optimistic      D. Fashionable

A few weeks after Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf coast, the Texas school where I teach collected furniture and other household items for a family from Louisiana that had lost everything. I thought of how sad it would be to lose all of the things that held so many priceless memories. Nothing could ever really replace a memory. I prayed I would be able to help the family in some ways , and at least give them practical things they could use.
I had a couple of old chairs in the house, and went into the spare bedroom to dig them out. Then I saw the wooden rocking chair(搖椅) in the corner. Deep brown , with a unique pattern of fruits and leaves edged in gold on the back. I’d never seen another like it. I used to rock my son to sleep in it when he was a baby. Talking about memories, I could never bear to part with that rocker.  http://wx.jtyjy.com/
But a feeling suddenly swept over me. Give it away. “Do you really want to do this?” my husband asked. I said firmly, “Yes!” He helped me load the rocking chair into my car. “Doesn’t it hold sentimental(情感的)value for you?” I couldn’t explain it. I took the rocker to the school the next day. The woman in charge of the donations(捐贈(zèng)品)for the Louisiana family loaded it into the back of her truck.
The very next day at school, the woman in charge came rushing into my classroom. “Angie, I have to tell you a story about that rocking chair!” she said.
The family was grateful for every single item we’d donated, they told her. Then they saw the rocker. Everyone stopped and stared. Then the granddaughter cried out, “Grandma, look! It’s your rocking chair!”  http://wx.jtyjy.com/

There is a group of people whose numbers the British Government desperately wants to see dropping. They're mostly in their early 20s, without jobs and not at university. They often wander the streets and are seen as a threat.
The Office for National Statistics reported on Dec, 11, 2006 that the number of young people who are not in school and not working or in training in Britain has risen sharply since 1997.
Britain now has 1.24 million people aged 15 to 24 who have nothing to do. That's a 15 percent increase over 1997. One in six people in this age group is idle.
These people are most likely to be from lower-income families and be supported by their families or the government. Those aver 18 can get a weekly job seeker's allowance of ￡46,69(690 yuan) from the government. This is only enough to cover the basic cost of living.
Housing benefits are also available. But for single people under 25, these only cover rent for very cheap accommodation, such as a shared room. So most unemployed young people choose to live with their parents, where they can have a room of their own
Some charities or local governments offer free housing for homeless young people as well. Nightstop UK, for example, offers help to young people aged 16--25. However, the housing is often only short-term.
British politician Iain Duncan-Smith blames the breakdown of traditional families on the increasing number of unemployed or untrained young people.
In Britain today, about one in 10 families are headed by a cohabiting couple, Cohabiting parents are twice as likely to break up as married parents, according to a Conservative Party report. Family breakdown is likely to lead to ignoring a child's education.
Poor post-school vocational training programmes are also being criticized. Independent research suggests that some training programmes are a waste of time.
The New Deal, a major programme to help the unemployed young, is one example. In 1998, 61 per cent of those leaving the programme could find jobs. That number is now down to 35 per cent.
" It, shows a failure of government policy. Even if you put in a large amount of money, if you haven't got the basic policies right, you won't get me results." said politician David Willetts .
60. What does the underlined word "idle" probably mean in the third paragraph?
A. engaged      B. unemployed     C. diligent            D. busy
61. How many factors are mentioned in this passage that lead to the increase of unemployment?
A. 2             B.3             C. 4                  D. 5
62. We can learn from the passage that_______________
A. the allowance from, the government can help those young people to live a comfortable life
B. the New Deal is always successful in helping job hunters
C. homeless young people depend on local governments for permanent accommodation
D. most unemployed young people choose to live with their parents because they can have their own room
63. The best title for this news report might be________________.
A. Success of Government Policy       B. Vocational Training in Britain
C. Jobless Youth Concerns             D. Job Hunting Problems
