第一节（共4小题）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项．并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑．‎ A ‎ Arriving in Sydney on his own from India，my husband，Rashid，stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children．‎ During the first week of his stay，he went out one day to do some shopping．He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone．He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers，including his passport．‎ He reported the case to the police and then sat there，lost and lonely in strange city，thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one．‎ Late in the evening，the phone rang．It was a stranger．He was trying to pronounce my husband's name and was asking him a lot of questions．Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can（垃圾桶）that had been left out on the footpath．‎ My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents．Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers．Her parents had carefully sorted them out，although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents．At last they had seen a half﹣written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend．‎ That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people．We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way．‎ ‎21．What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney？　　‎ A．Go shopping B．Find a house C．Join his family D．Take his family ‎22．The girl's parents got Rashid's phone number from　　．‎ A．a friend of his family B．a Sydney policeman C．a letter in his papers D．a stranger in Sydney ‎23．What does the underlined word "restored" in the last paragraph mean？　　‎ A．Showed B．Sent out C．Delivered D．Gave back ‎24．Which of the following can be the best title for the text？　　‎ A．From India to Australia． B．Living in a New Country．‎ C．Turning Trash to Treasure． D．In Search of New Friends．‎ B ‎ Since the first Earth Day in 1970，American have gotten a lot "greener" toward the environment．"We didn't know at that time there even was an environment，let alone ‎（更不用说）that there was a problem with it，"says Bruce Anderson，president of Earth Day USA．‎ But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement．Business people，political leaders，university professors，and especially millions of grass﹣roots Americans are taking part in the movement．"The understanding has increased many，many times，"says Gaylord Nelson，the former governor from Wisconsin，who thought up the first．According to US government reports，emissions （排放）from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3million tons a year to 5.5tons．The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9．Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with，the world is a safer and healthier place．A kind of "Green thinking" has become part of practices．‎ Great improvement has been achieved．In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs； today in 1995 there are about 6，600．Advanced lights，motors，and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution．‎ Twenty﹣five years ago，there were hardly any education programs for environment．Today，it's hard to find a public school，university，or law school that does not have such a kind of program．"Until we do that，nothing else will change!" say Bruce Anderson．‎ ‎25．According to Anderson，before 1970，Americans had little idea about　　‎ A．the social movement B．recycling techniques C．environmental problems D．the importance of

D．They have reduced pollution through effective measures．‎ ‎28．What is especially important for environmental protection according to the last paragraph？　　‎ A．Education B．Planning C．Green living D．CO reduction．‎ C One of the latest trend（趋势） in American Childcare is Chinese au pairs．Au Pair in Stamford，for example，has got increasing numbers of request for Chinese au pairs from zero to around 4，000 since 2004．And that's true all across the country．‎ ‎"I thought it would be useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age "Joseph Stocke，the managing director of s company，says of his 2﹣year old son．"I would at least like to give him the chance to use the language in the future，"After only six months of being cared by 25﹣year﹣old woman from China，the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions，his dad says．‎ Li Drake，a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband，had another reason for looking for an au pair from China．She didn't want her children to miss out on their roots．"Because I am Chinese，my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to（接触） the language and culture．"she says．‎ ‎"Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom，"says Suzanne Flynn，a professor in language education of Children．"But parents must understand that just one year with au pair is unlikely to produce wonders．Complete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12．"‎ The popularity if au pairs from china has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children to learn Chinese．It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years．‎ ‎29．What does that term "au pair" in the text mean？　　‎ A．A mother raising her children on her own B．A child learning a foreign language at home C．A professor in language education of children D．A young foreign woman taking care of children．‎ ‎30．Li Drake has her children study Chinese because she wants them　　．‎ A．to live in China some day B．to speak the language at home C．to catch up wit other children D．to learn about the Chinese culture ‎31．What can we infer from the text？　　‎ A．Learning Chinese is becoming popular In America，‎ B．Educated woman do better in looking after children C．Chinese au pairs need to improve their English Skills．‎ D．Children can learn a foreign language well in six months．‎ D From my earlier memory of Mother, it seemed quite natural to think of her as different, nor of everyday things as Father was. In those days he was a young-looking man. He did not hesitate（犹豫） to make friends with children as soon as they were able to talk to him and laugh at his stories. Mother was older than he was. She must have been a woman of nearly forty, but she seemed even older. She changed little for a long time, showing no indication of growing old at all until, towards the end of her life, she suddenly became an old lady.‎ I was always inquisitive about Mother’s age. She never had birthdays like other people, nor did anyone else in our family. No candles were ever lit or cakes made or presents given in our house. To my friends in the street who talked delightfully about their birthday parties, I would repeat my mother’s words that such celebrations were only foolish.‎ ‎“Nothing but deception（骗局）,” she would say. “As though life can be marked by birthdays. It’s deeds, not years, that matter.”‎ Although I often repeated her words and even prided myself on not having birthdays, I once could not help asking Mother when she was born.‎ ‎“I was born. I’m alive as you can see, so what more do you want to know?” she ‎ replied, so sharply that I never asked her about her age again.‎ In so many other ways Mother was different. Whereas all the rest of the women I knew in the neighboring houses took pride in their housewifely abilities, their new furniture, the neat appearance of their homes, Mother regarded all those things as of little importance. Our house always looked as if we had just moved in or were about to move out.‎ ‎32. How did Father impress the author?‎ A. He liked writing stories. B. He talked a lot.‎ C. He was a very young man. D. He was popular with children.‎ ‎33. Before the end of her life, Mother ______.‎ A. looked quite young B. looked like an old lady C. looked younger than she was D. looked like a40-year-old woman ‎34. What does the underlined word “inquisitive” (in Paragraph 2) probably mean?‎ A. Certain B. Curious. C. Cautious. D. Confident.‎ ‎35. What do we learn about Mother?‎ A. She was lazy. B. She was strict.‎ C. She was proud. D. She was special.‎ 第二节（共1小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．‎ Tips for cooking on a Tight Schedule（时间表，日程）‎ From my experience，there are three main reasons why people don't cook more often：ability，money and time，（36）　　Money is a topic I'll save for another day．So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen．Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule：‎ ‎①Think ahead．The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I'm already hungry and there is nothing ready to eat．So think about of the coming week．When will you have time to cook？Do you have the right materials ready？（37）　　‎ ‎②Make your time worth it．When you do find time to cook a meal，make the most of it and save yourself time later on．Are you making one loaf of bread？（38）　　 it takes around the same amount of time to make more of something．So save yourself the effort for a future meal．‎ ‎③（39）　　 This may surprise you，but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation．It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes（食谱） that can work well with your appetite（胃口，食欲） and schedule．The more you learn and the more you try，the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule．‎ Hopefully that gives you a good start．（40）　　 and don't let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!‎ A．Try new things．‎ B．Ability is easily improved．‎ C．Make three or four instead．‎ D．Understand your food better．‎ E．Cooking is a burden for many people．‎ F．Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden．‎ G．A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on．‎ ‎　第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ ‎　第一节完形填空（共1小题；每题1.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A，B，C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．‎ Joe Simpson and Simon Yates were the first people to climb the West Face of the Siula Grande in the Andes mountains．They reached the top （41）　　，but on their way back conditions were very（42）　　．Joe fell and broke his leg．They both knew that if Simon （43）　　 alone，he would probably get back（44）　　．But Simon decided to risk his（45）　　 and try to lower Joe down the mountain on a rope（绳）．‎ As they（46）　　 down，the weather got worse．Then another （47） 　　 occurred．They couldn't see or hear each other and，（48）　　，Simon lowered his friend over the edge of a precipice（峭壁）．It was （49）　　 for Joe to climb back or for Simon to pull him up．Joe's（50）　　 was pulling Simon slowly towards the precipice．（51）　　，after more than an hour in the dark and the icy cold，Simon ‎ had to （52）　　．In tears，he cut the rope．Joe （53）　　 into a large crevasse（裂缝）in the ice below．He had no food or water and he was in terrible pain．He couldn't walk，but he （54）　　 to get out of the crevasse and started to （55）　　 towards their camp，nearly ten kilometers （56）　　．‎ Simon had（57）　　 the camp at the foot of the mountain．He thought that Joe must be（58）　　，but he didn't want to leave （59）　　．Three days later，in the middle of the night，he heard Joe's voice．He couldn't（60）　　 it．Joe was there，a few meters from their tent，still alive．‎ ‎41．A．hurriedly B．carefully C．successfully D．early ‎42．A．difficult B．similar C．special D．normal ‎43．A．climbed B．worked C．rested D．continued ‎ ‎44．A．unwillingly B．safely C．slowly D．regretfully ‎45．A．fortune B．time C．health D．life ‎46．A．lay B．settled C．went D．looked ‎47．A．damage B．storm C．change D．trouble ‎48．A．by mistake B．by chance C．by chance D．by luck ‎49．A．unnecessary B．practical C．important D．impossible ‎50．A．height B．weight C．strength D．equipment ‎51．A．Finally B．Patiently C．Surely D．Quickly ‎52．A．stand back B．take a rest C．make a decision D．hold on ‎53．A．jumped B．fell C．escaped D．backed ‎54．A．managed B．planned C．waited D．hoped ‎55．A．run B．skate C．move D．march ‎56．A．around B．away C．above D．along ‎57．A．headed for B．travelled C．left for D．returned to ‎58．A．dead B．hurt C．weak D．late ‎59．A．secretly B．tiredly C．immediately D．anxiously ‎60．A．find B．believe C．make D．accept．‎ ‎　‎ 第二节（共10分；每小题1.5分，满分15分）阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（不多于3个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式．‎ One morning，I was waiting at the bus stop，worried about （61）　　 （be） late for school．‎ There were many people waiting at the bus stop，（62）　　 some of them looked very anxious and （63）　　 （disappoint）．when the bus finally came，we all hurried on board．I got a place next （64）　　 the window，so I had a good view of the sidewalk．A boy on a bike （65）　　 （catch ） my attention．He was riding beside the bus and waving his arms．I heard a passenger behind me shouting to the driver，but he refused （66）　　 （stop） until we reached the next stop．Still，the boy kept （67）　　 （ride）．He was carrying something over his shoulder and shouting．Finally，when we came to the next stop，the boy ran up the door of the bus．I heard an excited conversation．Then the driver stood up and asked，"Did anyone lose a suitcase at the last stop？"A woman on the bus shouted，"Oh，dear!
