This is what happened to Harry.‎ He got up one morning very late because he had forgotten to wind up his alarm clock（闹钟）. He tried to shave（刮脸）quickly and cut himself. When he got dressed he got blood all over his clean shirt, so he had to find another one. The only other shirt that was clean needed ironing（熨）, so he ironed it. While he was ironing it, there was a knock at the door. It was the man to read the electricity meter（表）. He showed him where the meter was, said good-bye and found that the iron had burnt a hole in his shirt. So he had to wear the one with the blood on it after all. By this time it was very late, so he decided he couldn’t go to work by bus. He telephoned for a taxi to take him to work. The taxi arrived and Harry got in and began to read the newspaper.‎ In another part of the town, a man had killed a woman with a knife and was seen to run away in a taxi.

Is it the price you see on the gift receipt? Or is it the look on the recipient's face when they receive it that determines the true value? What gift is worth the most?‎ ‎ This Christmas I was debating what to give my father. My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked. The message was from my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming, and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower, a lone dandelion standing against the bright blue sky, inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father.‎ ‎ I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that l already created my gift. 1 sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe; My dad recited it as much as he did the other. I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. The poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching I found the perfect picture. The image ‎ was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood, I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate.‎ ‎ Christmas soon arrived. The minute I saw the look on my dad's face as he unwrapped those swirling black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame, I knew I had given the perfect gift.‎ ‎61.

To be good enough to play in a band, Brenda had to practice a lot, but she lived next-door to a lot of old people. Many of them are sick. She knew that the sound of beating drums would really get on their nerves. So, she had tried playing in the strangest places: a basement, a kitchen, and even in a shower. But there was always someone it would annoy.‎ ‎ One day, while watching a science documentary on TV, she heard that sound cannot travel in space, because there's no air. At that moment, Brenda Bongos decided to become a sort of musical astronaut.‎ ‎ With the help of a lot of time, books and work, Brenda built a space bubble. This ‎ was a big glass ball connected to a machine which sucked out all the air inside. All that would be left inside was a drum kit（成套设备） and a chair. Brenda got into the space suit she had made, entered the bubble, turned on the machine, and played those drums like a wild child.‎ ‎ It wasn't long before Brenda Bongos came very famous. Many people came to see her play in her space bubble. Shortly afterwards she came out of the bubble and started giving concerts. Her fame spread so much that the government suggested that she be part of a unique space journey. Finally, Brenda was a real musical astronaut, and had gone far beyond her first ambition of playing drums in a band. ‎ ‎ Years later, when asked how she had achieved all this, she thought for a moment, and said: ''If those old people next – door hadn't mattered so much to me, I wouldn't have found a solution, and none of this would have ever happened.''‎ ‎66. Why did Brenda try to play in the strangest places?‎ A. Because she didn't want others to hear her play.‎ B. Because she didn't mean to disturb others.‎ C. Because she didn't have her own room.‎ D. Because she didn’t like her neighbors.‎ ‎67. Brenda started to give concerts _______.‎ A. after she practiced in her space bubble B. when she became part of the unique space journey C. after she became a real musical astronaut ‎ D. when people came to see her in the space bubble ‎68. Brenda became famous because _______.‎ A. she was good at music and science B. she became a real musical astronaut C. she invented a special way of practice D. she played well and had a talent ‎69. Which of the following can be used to describe Brenda?‎ A. Kind, hardworking and clever. ‎ B. Brave, kind and hardworking.‎ C. Lovely, brave and kind. ‎ D. Nervous, kind and clever.‎ ‎70.

One good turn deserves another ‎ D Do you have any skiing equipment you are no longer need? A ski school in the far north of India could put it to good use.‎ In March we published a photo story about the extraordinary Zsnskar region in northern India，which is cut off from the outside world for more than seven months of the year，and only accessible (可通行的)via a frozen river．We also included information about the limited use of skiing in the region and the recent creation of the Zanskar Ski School：‎ ‎“Despite the difficulties of travelling through the region when the snow comes，skiing hasn’t traditionally been used as a means of transport by the locals，largely because trees don't grow here，so there is little in the way of raw materials (原材料)from which to make skis．In 1995，a group of British scientists in the region noticed the lack of skis and one of them returned to set up the Zanskar Ski School in Padam．The school provides lessons for a small fee and rents skis to the local people．Among the benefits that the school hopes to bring are improved education—children often find it difficult to get to school through the deep snow—and the possibility of offering ski tours to tourists in the future．So far，more than 300 local people have received training，and local doctors and policemen regularly borrow skis．”‎ But，what we weren't able to include in the article is that the ski school is always on the look out for old skiing equipment—particularly of a size suitable for children—and，I thought．now the European ski season is drawing to a close，there might be a few of you out there who have some old equipment you'd like to see go to a good home．If that's the ease you can get in touch with the school via their website www.zanskarskischooL.org.‎ ‎71．What's the purpose in writing the text?‎ A．To ask people to give away their skis to the school B．To attract more tourists to the area C．To appeal to more locals to attend the school D．To raise money to develop this area ‎72．The local people don't use skiing to go about because .‎ A．it is against the local custom ‎ B．trees are in the way of the skiing route C．they don't have the wood to make skis D．it is dangerous to go skiing in this region ‎73．The Zanskar‎ Ski ‎School .‎ A．has donated money to the local community B．makes it easier for the students to attend school C．provides special training to the tourists D．has borrowed many skis from ‎Europe ‎74．Who would be the most helpful to the school now?‎ A．Locals in Zanskar region． ‎ B．Students in the Zanskar Ski School．‎ C．People having old skiing equipment． ‎ D．Tavellers enjoying skiing．‎ ‎75．What can be the best title for the text?‎ A．An extraordinary region in India ‎ B．A ski school C．A good means of transport ‎ D．A home for old skis 第四部分：书面表达（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）‎ ‎ Imagine this situation. You pass a group of people. The people are talking to each other. You cannot hear what they are saying. But suddenly they start laughing. What would you think? Would you think they were laughing at something funny that one of them said? Or -- be honest with yourself -- would you think they were laughing at you? Yes, you.‎ ‎ Being laughed at is a common fear. But a major study published in 2009 found that this fear is not the same around the world. It differs from culture to culture.‎ People in Finland were the least likely to believe that people laughing in their presence were making fun of them. Less than ten percent of Finns in the study said they would think that, compared to eighty percent of people in Thailand.‎ ‎ Some people in the study said they hid their feelings in social situations. Others said they avoided social situations where they had been laughed at before. The study found that people in Turkmenistan and Cambodia were more likely to be in the first group. They would__________________ if they were around other people's laughter. But people in Iraq, Egypt and Jordan were more likely to try to avoid such situations if they felt they had been laughed at before.‎ ‎ Shy people often avoid situations that would force them into close contact with other people. They worry that something they say or do will make other people laugh at them. But some people worry much more than others. They may have a disorder called ‎ gelotophobia. Gelos is a Greek word. It means laughter. Phobia means fear. This fear of laughter can be truly sad for those who live with it. It can affect how they lead their lives.‎ ‎ In the study, a team from the University‎ of ‎Zurich led more than ninety researchers from around the world. They wanted to understand the difference between normal shyness and true gelotophobia(恐惧症). Another purpose of the study was to compare the levels of fear of being laughed at in different cultures. The researchers surveyed more than twenty-two thousand people in forty-two different languages. The findings appeared in the scientific journal Humor.‎ 第二节：写作（满分30分）‎ 假如你叫李华，是一位高中生。随着科技的发展，iPod已成为中学生的新宠。请你用英语给某英语报社写一封信，谈谈中学生使用iPod的情况。信的内容须包括以下几点：‎ ‎1．用iPod的好处（听音乐、上网查资料，下载电子书等）‎ ‎2．对课堂纪律和学习可能产生的负面影响 3．提出自己的建议并说明理由。词数120-150‎ 参考答案
