  I had  31 seen her before. The music was so nice that I listened quietly. Lost in the music, I didn't know that I had been  32  there for so long but my existence did not seem to disturb her.

  Autumn was nearly over. One day, when I was listening carefully, the sound suddenly  36 . To my astonishment, the girl came over to me.

  “You must like violin.” she said.

  “Yes. And you play very well. Why did you stop?” I asked.

  Suddenly, a  37  expression appeared on her face and I could feel something unusual.

  “I came here to see my grandmother, but now I must leave. I once played very badly. It was your listening every day that  38  me.” she said.

  “In fact, it was your playing  39  gave me a meaningful autumn,” I answered, “Let's be friends.”

  The girl smiled, and so did I.

  I never heard her play again in my life. I no longer went downstairs to listen like before. Only thick leaves were left behind. But I will always remember the fine figure of the girl. She is like a  40  ―so short, so bright, like a shooting star giving off so much light that it makes the autumn beautiful.

Athens Olympic 110m hurdle champion Liu Xiang felt so relieved to return to racetrack after getting out of the great number of social activities.

 Liu arrived in hometown Shanghai Wednesday night and was about to resume training shortly after.

“I am so exhausted from so many social activities, which made me even more tired than training,” said the 21-year-old Liu, who wrote a new chapter in China’s Olympic history by winning the country’s first ever athletics short-distance running title in the men’s 110m hurdles in Athens in August.

    “I am happy that I will resume(繼續(xù))my training soon back in Shanghai,” said the Shanghai native. He turned into an instant national hero with the Olympic glory and one of the most popular Olympic gold medalists, taking part in scores of celebration activities since he returned to China early September.

   “My regular training has been interrupted for such a long time that I think I can only run at about 13.5 seconds now,” said Liu, who clocked a world record-tying time of 12.91 to clinch the title.

“I would rather forget what I have achieved in the past and try my best to realize a higher goal,” he said.

Liu already missed the Berlin Golden League Series on Sunday and won’t be able to catch the IAAF Grand Prix final slated for September 18-19 in Monaco.

He plans on attending an IAAF all-star tournament in Japan at the end of this month.

45.     This passage mainly talks about ________.

A. victory of Liu Xiang                     B. Liu Xiang’s resumption to the racetrack

C. dream of Liu Xiang                      D. Liu Xiang’s high aim

46.     From the passage we can see ________

A. Liu Xiang is content to go back to training    

B. Liu Xiang will win Golden League Series on Sunday

C. Liu Xiang wasn’t good at social activities

D. Liu Xiang was refreshed after so many social activities

47.     The underlined word “relieved” means ________.

A. sad          B. glad            C. worried             D. disappointed

48.     Which of the following is NOT wrong?

A. Liu Xiang has had a quiet life for as long as half a month.

B. Liu Xiang has missed two races because of his social activities.

C. Liu Xiang has made up his mind to stop his social activities.

D. Liu Xiang has deserted his present career.

Robots are smart. With their computer brains, they help people work in dangerous places or do difficult jobs. Some robots do regular jobs. Bobby, the mail carrier, brings mail to a large office building in Washington, D.C. He is one of 250 mail carriers in the United States.

Mr. Leachim, who weighs two hundred pounds and is six feet tall, has some advantages as a teacher. One is that he does not forget details. He knows each child’s name, the parents’ names and what each child knows and needs to know. In addition, he knows each child’s pets and hobbies. Mr. Leachim does not make mistakes. Each child goes and tells him his or her name, then dials an identification number. His computer brain puts the child’s voice and number together. He identifies the child with no mistakes. Then he starts the lesson.

Another advantage is that Mr. Leachim is flexible(=changeable). If the children need more time to do their lessons they can move switches. In this way they can repeat Mr. Leachim’s lesson over and over again. When the children do a good job, he tells them something interesting about their hobbies. At the end of the lesson the children switch Mr. Leachim off.

49.     The first paragraph of the passage tells us _____.

A. human beings are not as smart as robots

A. To meet the needs of each student.

B. To talk to the students in different languages.

C. To keep everyone’s interest in his lesson.

D. To introduce more hobbies to the children.

52.     Which of the following statements may be true according to the passage?

A. There are 250 robot teachers in the United States.

B. Mr. Leachim is run and controlled by electricity.

C. Bobby works in a large office building in Washington D.C.

第二節(jié)  回答問題 (共3小題,6分) 閱讀下面短文,根據題目要求,簡要回答問題。

Getting married can be one of the happiest moments in a person’s life. Throughout the world, weddings are very important events. Let’s look at some interesting wedding customs from different countries.

For Americans, it is tradition for the married couple to jump over a broom or a brush covered with flowers. This represents the beginning of family life. It is interesting to note that American slaves who were brought to the USA started this tradition.

Making jokes about the bride and groom is a wedding tradition in both France and Germany . In France , this includes making loud noises with pots and pans; in Germany, wedding guests break dishes. Weddings in Germany often last for three days!

In Greece and Italy, people eat special kinds of sweets at the wedding. Both Greece and Italy also have their own special wedding dances, which all of the guests enjoy.

In Russia, couples tie a doll to their wedding car if they want to have a daughter or a toy bear if they want to have a son.

In the USA, the bride usually carries a bouquet of flowers during the wedding ceremony. After the ceremony, the unmarried women get together and the bride throws the bouquet. The woman who catches the bouquet is supposed to be the next person to get married.

第三節(jié)        摘錄信息  (共5小題, 10 分)

 閱讀下列短文,根據閱讀內容在56-60 的空格里填上適當的單詞或短語。每空不超過3個單詞。

The Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad. They also want their children to take after-school activities. They believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is.

However, most parents don’t know that the best education is usually very cheap. Parents can only see that their children’s skills change, skilled in some areas while poor in others. But they don’t realize that today’s children lack(缺少) self-respect and self-confidence. The problem is that parents only teach them on how to take tests, but not teach them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever.

So parents can achieve this by teaching their children practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework.

Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking needs patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of confidence.

Some old machines, such as broken radio or a TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest. Your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.

Dear Editors,

   I am writing to tell you about the discussion we had recently about “What is happiness to you”.

There are different opinions about happiness.1. Some students thinks they will be happy if there is no endless homework or exams. 2. Some students believe that if one is admitted into a key university , he will be the happiest man in the world. 3. Some think that happiness means achieving success in something, such as getting the first place in the exams or creating a wonderful play at the Art Festival. 4.Others believe that happiness is being surrounded by a group of true friends. 5.Still others think that happiness means growing up quickly and being independent

In my opinion, happiness is a subjective feeling.6. Being healthy is happiness. Happiness is also connected with the process of getting success. 7.Getting more new knowledge every day makes me happy. Actually I find happiness in helping people in need. I feel happy owing to enjoying colourful school life. In a word, so long as you are positive, happiness is always around you.
