No one knew each other; the passengers all sat there sleepily in the morning. The bus was cheerless and silent.‎ One of the passengers was a small gray-haired man who took the bus to the center for senior citizens every morning. No one ever paid very much attention to him.‎ One July morning he said good morning to the driver and smiled. The driver nodded guardedly(戒备地). The rest of us were silent.‎ The next day, the old man boarded with a big smile and said in a loud voice: “A very good morning to you all!” Some of us looked up, amazed, and murmured “Good Morning” in reply.‎ The following weeks, our friend was dressed in a nice old suit and tie. His thin hair had been carefully combed. He said good morning to us every day and we gradually began to nod and talk to ‎ each other.‎ One morning he even had a bunch of wild flowers in his hand. The driver turned around smiling and asked: “Have you got yourself a girlfriend, Charlie?” We never got to know if his name really was “Charlie”, but he nodded shyly and said yes. The other passengers whistled and clapped at him. Charlie waved the flowers before he sat down on his seat.‎ Every morning after that Charlie always brought flowers. Some passengers also brought flowers for him. The bus became a happy place.‎ Then, one morning, as autumn was closing in, Charlie wasn’t waiting at his usual stop. When he wasn’t there the next day and the day after that, we started wondering if he was sick or—hopefully – on holiday somewhere.‎ When we came nearer to the center for senior citizens, one of the passengers asked the driver to wait. We all held our breaths when he went to the door.‎ The old gentle man was fine, but one of his close friends had died over the weekend. How silent we were the rest of the way to work.‎ The next Monday Charlie was waiting at the stop, stooping (弯腰) a bit more, a little bit more gray, and without a tie. Inside the bus was silent. Even though no one had talked about it, all of us sat there silently, our eyes filled with tears and a bunch of wild flowers in our hands.‎ ‎34 From the passage, we can infer that .‎ A. people always cared about each other on the bus B. people were unhappy and sleepy on the bus because they were tired C. smiles can shorten the distance between people D. people are not good at communicating in the country ‎35. What are we sure about the old man?‎ A. His name was Charlie.‎ B. He worked at the center for senior citizens.‎ C. He got sick over the weekend.‎ D.

People were surprised at the old man’s first greeting.‎ C. People were worried about the old man’s absence.‎ D. People on the bus at last shared happiness and sorrow together.‎ ‎37. Which would be the best title for the passage？‎ A. How to Shorten the Distance between People B. Smiles Make a Bus Feel Like Home C. Charlie, A Smiling Gentle Man D. The Key to Friendship — Communication ‎ C The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past. With the coming of new technologies like computers and smart phone, writing by hand has become something of nostalgic (怀旧的 )skill. However, while today’s educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful---both in school and in life. ‎ Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology at the University‎ of ‎Washington, says it’s important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand.‎ Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks---both on a computer and by hand. The study, published in 2009, found that when writing with a pen and paper, participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate.‎ In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student’s writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to know well they can write. “Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us access our vocabulary, word meaning and concepts. It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas.” Berninger said.‎ Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe (转换) “those words in the mind written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen,” the study said. Seeing the words in the “mind’s eye” helps children not only to turn their ideas into words, says Berninger, but also to spot (发现) spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct then over time.‎ ‎“In our computer age, some people believe that we don’t have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said. “But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they won’t have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer.”‎ ‎38. What makes writing by hand a thing of the past? ______________.‎ A. The absence of blackboard in classroom. B. The use of new technologies in teaching.‎ C. The lack of practice in handwriting. D. The popular use of smartphones.‎ ‎39. Berninger’s study published in 2009 ___________.‎ A. focused on the difference between writing by hand and on a computer.‎ B. indicated that students prefer to write with a pen and paper.‎ C. found that good essays are made up of long sentences.‎ D. discussed the importance of writing speed.‎ ‎40. which of the following best shows the role of spelling？‎ A.Spelling improves one’s memory of words.‎ B. Spelling ability is closely related to writing ability.‎ C. Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas.‎ D. Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas.‎ ‎41. What conclusion could be drawn from the passage? ______________.‎ A. Computers can help people with their choice of words. ‎ B. Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching.‎ C. Handwriting still has a place in today’s classrooms.‎ D. Functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade.‎ D The iPhone, the iPad: each of Apple’s products sounds cool and has become a fad(一时的风尚). Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i” –-- and many other brands are following suit. The BBC’s iPlayer --- which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet ---used the title in 2008. A lovely bear --- popular in the US and UK --- that plays music and video is called “iTeddy”. A slimmed-down version(简装本) of London’s Independent newspaper was started last week under the name “i”.‎ In general, single-letter prefixes(前缀) have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce(电子商务) first came into use.‎ Most “i” products are targeted at （针对）young people and considering the major readers of Independent’s “i”, it’s no surprise that they’ve selected this fashionable name.‎ But it’s hard to see what’s so special about the letter “i”. Why not use “a”, “b”, or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at King’s College, London, “i” works because its meaning has become ambiguous. When Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, individual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didn’t have one clear definition（定义）,” he says.‎ ‎“However, thanks to Apple, the term is now connected with portability (轻便) .”adds Thorne.‎ Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for ‎ this reason.‎ Along with “Google” and “blog”, readers of BBC Magazines voted “i” as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade(十年).‎ But as history shows, people grow tired of fads. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with “‎2000”‎ in their names became fashionable as the year was connected with all things advanced and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the fashion disappeared. ‎ ‎42. We can infer that the Independent’s “i” is designed for _________.‎ A. young readers B. old readers C. fashionable women D. engineers ‎43. The underlined word “ambiguous” means “__________”.‎ A. popular B. uncertain C. clear D. unique ‎44. Nowadays, the “i” term often reminds people of the products which are __________.‎ A. portable B. environmentally friendly C. advanced D. recyclable ‎45. The writer suggests that __________.‎ A. “i” products are often of high quality ‎ B. iTeddy is alive bear C. the letter “b” replaces letter “i” to name the products D. the popularity of “i” products may not last long 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。 ‎ If you are hungry, what do you do? Have your favorite meal and stay quiet after that? 46 But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars．So it silently serves your needs and never lets itself grow．When mind loses its freedom to grow, creativity gets a full stop．This might be the reason why we all sometimes think "What happens next?", "Why can't I think?"‎ ‎ 47 Why reading but not watching TV? It is because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from childhood．Since it develops other aspects of our life, we have to get help from reading．‎ Once you read a book, you run your eyes through the lines and your mind tries to explain something to you． 48 Now this seed is unknowingly used by you to develop new ideas．If it is used many times, the same seed can give you great help to relate a lot of things which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams!‎ This is nothing but creativity． 49 Within no time you can start talking with your friends in English or any other language and never run out of the right words．‎ So guys, do give food for your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading． 50 Go and get a book!‎ A．The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed．‎ B．Why not do some reading while you are hungry?‎ C．Just like your stomach, your mind is also hungry．‎ D．Now what are you waiting for?‎ E．Hunger of the mind can be actually solved through wide reading． ‎ F．Reading can help you make more friends, too．‎ G．Also this makes a significant contribution to your vocabulary 第三部分 完形填空（共20小题：每小题1.5分，满分30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, 并在答题卡将该选项的标号涂黑。‎ A lady wanted a birthday gift from her husband.

And on the card was the date of her birth, and the words “LUV U ALWAYS”. ‎ ‎ 69 your gift is not packaged the way you want it, it’s because it is better packaged the way it is!
