So says an advertising executive in New York, and he has proved his point by selling boxes of rubbish for the price of an expensive bottle of wine.‎ Justin Gignac,26, has sold almost 900 41 presented plastic boxes of rubbish from the street of Big Apple at between ＄50 and ＄100 each. Buyers from 19 countries have paid for the souvenirs（纪念品）. The idea has been so successful that he is thinking of promoting it around the world.‎ It all began when Mr Gignac was at a summer workshop, “We had a discussion about the importance of 42 ,”he recalls.” Someone said packaging was unimportant. I disagreed. The only way to prove it was by selling something nobody would ever want.”‎ He searches the streets of Manhattan and typical 43 include broken glass, subway tickets, Starbucks cups and used 44 forks. “Special editions” are offered at a high price. He charged ＄100 for rubbish from the opening day of the New York Yankees’ stadium.‎ Mr Gignac denies 45 his customers for fools: “They know what they’re getting. They appreciate the fact that they’re taking something nobody would want and finding beauty in it.”‎ Some 46 customers include people who used to live in the city and want a down-to-earth souvenir. He claims he has even sold to art collectors.‎ Realizing that the concept appears to be a real money-maker, Mr Gignac has 47 a company and is employing his girlfriend as vice president. He 48 to discuss his profit margins: “It’s actually quite a lot of effort putting them together-but yes, garbage is free.”‎ Mr Gignac is considering more varieties of souvenirs. He maintains that he has signed 49 with people interested in similar projects from as far as Berlin and London.‎ Ⅲ. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.‎ Most people believe they don’t have much imagination. They are 50 .Everyone has imagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to 51 it. Creativity isn’t always 52 with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time 53 think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to help you.‎ Making connections This technique involves taking 54 ideas and trying to find links between them. First, think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image, word, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the idea/words 55 with candles: light, fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the 56 to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend an original ‎ ‎57 ; you could buy him tickets to match or take him out for the night.‎ NO limits! Imagine that normal limitations don’t 58 . You have as much time/space/money, etc. as you want. Think about your goal and the new 59 .If your goal is to learn to ski, 60 , you can now practise skiing every day of your life （because you have the time and the money）. Now 61 this to reality. Maybe you can practise skiing ever day in December, or every Monday in January.‎ Be someone else! Look at the situation from a 62 point of view. Good businessmen use this technique in trade, and so do writes. Fiction writers often imagine they are the 63 in their books. They ask question: What does this character want? Why can’t she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? If your goal involves other people, put yourself in their 64 . The best fishermen think like fish!‎ ‎50. A. wrong B. unbelievable C. reasonable D. realistic ‎51. A. put up with B. catch up with C. make use of D. keep track of ‎52. A. equipped B. compared C. covered D. connected ‎53. A. skillfully B. routinely C. vividly D. deeply ‎54. A. familiar B. unrelated C. creative D. imaginary ‎55. A. presented B. marked C. lit D. associated ‎56. A. ideas B. ambitions C. achievement D. technique ‎57. A. experience B. service C. present D. object ‎58. A. work B. last C. exist D. change ‎59. A. possibilities B. limitations C. tendency D. practice ‎60. A. in fact B. in particular C. as a whole D. for example ‎61. A. devote B. adapt C. lead D. keep ‎62. A. private B. global C. different D. practical ‎63. A. features B. themes C. creatures D. characters ‎64. A. positions B. dreams C. images D. directions Section B ‎（A）‎ Even at school there had been an unhealthy competition between George and Richard.‎ ‎“I’ll be the first millionaire in Coleford!” Richard used to boast.‎ ‎“And you’ll be sorry you knew me,” George would reply “because I’ll be the best lawyer in town!”‎ George never did become a lawyer and Richard never made any money. Instead both men opened bookshops on opposite sides of Coleford High Street. It was hard to make money from books, which made the competition between them worse.‎ Now with only one bookshop in town, business was better for George. But sometimes he sat in his narrow , old kitchen and gazed out of the dirty window , thinking about his former rival （竞争对手）。Perhaps he missed him?‎ George was very interested in old dictionaries, He’d recently found a collector in Australia who was selling a rare first edition. When the parcel arrived, the book was in perfect condition and George was delighted. But while he was having lunch, George glanced at the photo in the newspaper that the book had been wrapped in. He was astonished—the smiling face was older than he remembered but unmistakable! Trembling, George started reading.‎ ‎“Bookends have bought ten bookstores from their rivals Dylans. The company, owned by multi-millionaire Richard Pike, is now the largest bookseller in Australia. ”‎ ‎65.

If you’ve come to ski or snowboard, we’ll see you on the slopes. Skiing is a local favourite too.‎ While you’re here, try other recreational activities available in our mountains. Popular choices include a Banff Gondola ride up Sulphur Mountain, bathe in the natural mineral waters at the Upper Hot Spring, horse-drawn sleigh ride, drive-your-own-team dog sled excursion, and snowmobile tour to the highland（but not in the national park）.‎ We also recommend you make time to enjoy simple pleasures.

You can rent skates in Banff or at the sport shop in the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise hotel.‎ Banff’s backcountry paths access a wilderness world of silence and matchless beauty—cross country skis and snowshoes provide the means. Banff sport shops rent equipment and clothes, or join an organized tour. Although we’ve been many times, we still find the cliffs and icefalls of our frozen ‎ canyons worth visiting.‎ Wildlife watching also creates satisfying memories. We have seen hundreds of the elk and bighorn sheep that attract visitors, yet they still arouse a sense of wonder. And the rare spotting of a cougar, wolf or woodland caribou takes our breath away.‎ See if simple pleasure work for your Fight in the snow with your kids, walk beside a stream or climb to a high place and admire the view.‎ ‎—Banff Resort Guide Editors ‎69.

That is a new solution to laptop computer theft: a program that lets owners give their property a voice when it has been taken.‎ The program allows users to display alerts on the missing computer’s screen and even to set a spoken message. Tracking software for stolen laptops has been on the market for some time, but this is thought to be the first that allows owners to give the thief a piece of their mind.‎ Owners must report their laptop missing by visiting a website, which sends a message to the model: a red and yellow “lost or stolen” sign appears on its screen when it is started. Under the latest version（版本）of the software, users can also send a spoken message.‎ The message can be set to reappear every 30 seconds, no matter how many times the thief closes it.” One customer sent a message saying,’ You are being tracked. I am right at your door’,” said Carrie Hafeman, chief executive of the company which produces the program, Retriever.‎ In the latest version, people can add a spoken message. For example, the laptop’s speakers will say: “Help, this laptop is reported lost or stolen. If you are not my owner, report me now.”‎ The Retriever software package, which costs $29.95 but has a free trial period, has the functions of many security software programs .Owners can remotely switch to an alternative password if they fear that the thief has also got hold of the access details.‎ If a thief accesses the internet with the stolen laptop, Retriever will collect information on the internet service provider in use, so that the police can be alerted to its location.‎ Thousands of laptops are stolen every year form homes and offices, but with the use of laptops increasing, the number stolen while their owners are out and about has been rising sharply.‎ Other security software allows users to erase data remotely or lock down the computer.‎ ‎72. The expression “to give the thief a piece of their mind “can be understood as “_______”‎ A. to give the thief an alert mind B. to express the owners’ anger to the thief C. to remind the thief of this conscience D. to make the thief give up his mind ‎73. Different from other security software, Retriever can .‎ A. record the stealing process B. help recognize the lost laptop C. lock down the computer remotely D. send a spoken message ‎74. One function of the program is that it allows the owner to at a distance.‎ A. change some access details for switching on the laptop B. turn on the laptop by using the original password C. operate the laptop by means of and alternative password D. erase the information kept in the stolen laptop ‎75. Which of the following can best summarize the main idea of the passage?‎ A. With no Retriever, thousands of laptops are stolen every year.‎ B. A new soft ware provides a means to reduce laptop theft.‎ C. Retriever has helped to find thieves and lost computers.‎ D. A new program offers a communication platform with the thief.‎ ‎（D）‎ The latest research suggests that the key factor separating geniuses from the merely accomplished is not I.Q., a generally bad predictor of success. Instead, it’s purposeful practice. Top performers spend more hours practising their craft. It you wanted to picture how a typical genius might develop, you’d take a girl who possessed a slightly above average language ability. It wouldn’t have to be a big talent, just enough so that she might gain some sense of distinction. Then you would want her to meet, say, a novelist, who coincidentally shared some similar qualities. Maybe the writer was from the same town, had the same family background, or shared the same birthday.‎ This contact would give the girl a vision of her future self. It would hive her some idea of a fascinating circle who might someday join. It would also help if one of her parents died when she was 12, giving her a strong sense of insecurity and fuelling a desperate need for success. Armed with this ambition, she would read novels and life stories of writers without end. This would give her a primary knowledge of her field. She’s be able to see new writing in deeper ways and quickly understand its inner workings.‎ Then she would practise writing. Her practice would be slow, painstaking and error-focused. By practising in this way, he delays the automatizing process. Her mind wants to turn conscious, newly learned skills into unconscious. Automatically performed skills. By practising slowly, by breaking skills down into tiny parts and repeating, she forces the brain to internalize a better pattern of performance. Then she would find an adviser who would provide a constant stream of feedback, viewing her performance form the outside, correcting the smallest errors, pushing her to take on tougher challenges. By now she is redoing problems—how do I get characters into a room—dozens and dozens of times. She is establishing habits of thought she can call upon in order to understand or solve future problems.‎ The primary quality our young writer possesses is not some mysterious genius. It’s the ability to ‎ develop a purposeful, laborious and boring practice routine; the latest research takes some of the magic out of great achievement. But it underlines a fact that is often neglected. Public discussion is affected by genetics and what we’re “hard-wired” to do. And it’s true that genes play a role in our capabilities. But the brain is also very plastic. We construct ourselves through behaviour.‎ ‎76. The passage mainly deals with .‎ A. the function of I.Q. in cultivating a writer B. the relationship between genius and success C. the decisive factor in making a genius D. the way of gaining some sense of distinction ‎77. By reading novels and writers’ stories, the girl could .‎ A. come to understand the inner structure of writing B. join a fascinating circle of writers someday C. share with a novelist her likes and dislikes D. learn from the living examples to establish a sense of security ‎78. In the girl’s long painstaking training process, ________.‎ A. her adviser forms a primary challenging force to her success.‎ B. her writing turns into an automatic pattern of performance C. she acquires the magic of some great achievement D. she comes to realize she is “hard-wired” to write ‎79. What can be concluded from the passage?‎ A. A fuelling ambition plays a leading role in one’s success B. A responsible adviser is more important than the knowledge of writing.‎ C. As to the growth of a genius, I.Q. Doesn’t matter, but just his/her effort.‎ D. What really matters is what you do rather then who you are.‎ Section C Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is on e extra heading which you do not need.‎ A. Varieties of college dictionaries B. Accessing dictionaries electronically C. Elements under a word item D. Complete editions of dictionaries E. Using dictionaries for particular fields F. Features of college dictionaries ‎80.‎ You’re probably most familiar with college dictionaries, often called abridged dictionaries. Although abridged means “shortened”, these dictionaries contain more than 150.000 entries and provide detailed definitions that are sufficient for most college students and general users. College dictionaries also contain separate lists of abbreviations. Biographical and geographical names, foreign words and phrases. And tables of measures. Webster’s Ⅱ New Riverside University Dictionary and the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language are college dictionaries.‎ ‎81. ‎ unabridged dictionaries contain as many as 500,000 entries and provide detailed definitions and ‎ extensive word histories （etymologies）. These dictionaries, possibly in several volumes and mostly found in libraries, are excellent sources for scholarly inquiries. Unabridged dictionaries include the Oxford English Dictionary and the Random House Dictionary of the English Language.‎ ‎82.‎ A dictionary entry has many elements: multiple definitions, syllabication, preferred spelling and pronunciation （some word have more than one acceptable spelling and pronunciation）, and part-of-speech labels. Some entries also include plurals and capitalized forms. Synonyms, antonyms, and derivatives. Americanisms and etymologies may be provide along with usage notes, cross-references, and idioms.‎ ‎83.‎ If you prefer using the dictionary on a computer, you can obtain CD-ROM versions of many major dictionaries. In addition, you can access numerous dictionaries, such as WWWebster’s Dictionary, on the Internet. Online dictionaries allow you to enter a search word （you even get help with spelling ） to see a definition, and sometimes even an illustration. Online dictionaries also offer additional features, such as word games. Language tips, and amusing facts about words. Some online dictionary services allow you to access numerous dictionaries, both general and specialized, in on search.‎ ‎84.‎ Specialized dictionaries provide in-depth information about a certain field. For example there are dictionaries for the specialized vocabularies of law, computer technology, and medicine. In addition, there are dictionaries of synonyms, clichés, slang, and even regional expressions. Such as the Dictionary of American Regional English（DARE）. There are also dictionaries of foreign languages, famous people’s names, literary characters’ names and place names.‎ 第II卷（共45分）‎ I． Translation 1. 网球运动在上海越来越流行了。（popular）‎ 2. 我认为你们的建议和他们的一样有价值。（as…as）‎ 3. 只喝一杯咖啡就会使我整晚睡不着。（keep）‎ 4. 为了纪念那些勇敢的消防战士，一部电影即将开拍。（memory）‎ 5. 过了三天她才想起把雨衣忘在语言实验室了。（remember）‎ 6. 尽管山高林密，医护人员还是迅速地赶到出事地点，试试救援。（despite）‎ I． Guided Writing Directions: Write an English composition in 120-150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese.‎ 某海外学校举办英语夏令营，开设了如下课程：园艺（gardening），烹饪（cooking）,防身术（self-defence），护理（nursing）。假如你是王跃华（不可以用自己的真实姓名），写一封申请信，报名参加其中一门课程的学习。信的内容必须包括：‎ 你感兴趣的课程 你期望从这门课程中学到什么 为什么想学这些内容 ‎【参考范文】（略）‎ ‎2009年上海高考英语试卷答案 ‎25-30：ADCDBB 31-35：BACAC 36-40：BCDCD ‎41-45： 46-49： 50-54：ACDBB ‎55-59：DACAA 60-64：DBCDA ‎65-68：CBDD 69-71：ABC 72-75：BDAB ‎76-79：CABD 80-84：FDCBE 翻译 ‎1、Tennis is getting more popular in Shanghai.‎ ‎2、I think your suggestion is as valuable as theirs.‎ ‎3、Drinking only a cup of coffee will keep me awake all night.‎ ‎4、A film will be made/ shot in memory of those brave fire fighters.‎ ‎5、It was three days later she remembered leaving/having left her raincoat in the language lab.‎ ‎6、Despite the high mountains and thick forests, the doctors and nurses rushed to the scene of the accident for the rescue/to carry out the rescue.‎
