The sweet music attracted him, so he went into the restaurant to hear it better. Mr. Phillip sat down quietly at a table near the door. Noticing the waiter come over, he ordered a glass of French wine.‎ The waiter returned with the glass of wine and put it on the table. Mr. Phillip started drinking the wine slowly and watching other people in the restaurant. There were three customers sitting at a table near him. He could tell by their accents that one of them was an American, one an Englishman and the third man was a funny-looking stranger. The polite waiter served each of the three men a glass of beer. By chance, each glass had a fly in it.‎ Out of curiosity, Mr. Phillip watched carefully what they were going to do. To his amusement, he found that each of them took a quite different attitude. The American picked up his glass, took a hard look at the fly, and then poured the fly and half of his beer on the floor. The Englishman looked into the glass, noticed the fly and reached for a spoon, with which he took the fly out of the beer and drank the rest of it. And the stranger noticed the fly in the beer, picked it with his fingers, squeezed (挤压) it carefully in order to save every drop of beer, then drank it up.‎ ‎21．Mr. Phillip went into the restaurant to _____.‎ A. have something to eat after the walk B. wait for a friend there C. meet his three friends there D. enjoy the pleasant music ‎22．The restaurant where Mr. Phillip had a drink must be _____.‎ A. a first-class one B. a rather dirty place C. expensive and comfortable D. a place where only beer was served ‎23．Of all the three customers at the table, _____.‎ A. the stranger drank the most from the glass B. the Englishman wasted half of his beer C. the stranger was the cleverest D. the American liked the beer best The following are several summer programs for children.‎ Duke University ADHD Program Academic Summer Program is used to help 6th to 8th graders with ADHD(注意力缺乏多动症).

One lady told me she thought I was 12 and even told her 14-year-old daughter the same. I saw lots of surprised faces because people were told I was actually 19 years old.‎ I’m actually 19 years old, which isn’t much of a problem. I’m like the oldest of my friends and the shortest, which is pretty funny. That’s probably one of the reasons I fit in so well with them.‎ I volunteered at a weekend school teaching young children. Parents always looked me up and down like “why is this 13-year-old girl teaching my child?!??!?” I guessed it was because I’m also petite(娇小)，and I didn’t know whether I had a childish face…??? Sometimes I found it funny, sometimes I found it annoying(令人气恼). But I just shrugged(耸肩)it off at last. You know, soon enough people got to know me and then realized I was not actually a 13-year-old girl.‎ This short thing used to be a problem for me, though. I was very very small when I was younger, so kids would pick on me. When I was 12, 8-year-old girls would look down at me like “I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU ’RE TWELVE!” I had always wanted to be tall．But now that I'm older, I got used to it, and I actually love it．You know, I'm fun sized!‎ ‎27．How old is the writer now?_______.‎ A. 12 B. ‎13 C. 14 D. 19‎ ‎28．Many people felt surprised when told the writer’s age because they thought she ________．‎ A. was certainly over 19 B. should be only 12‎ C. was 13 D. was over 14‎ ‎29．Which of the following words can’t be used to describe（描绘） the writer?_______.‎ A. short B. petite C. childish D. tall ‎30．The underlined phrase “pick on” means _______.‎ A. like very much B. help friendlily C. behave to unkindly D. enjoy very much ‎31．How does the writer feel when others say she is 12?_______.‎ A. Not surprised B. Annoying C. Angry D. Sad The American newspaper has been around for about three hundred years. In 1721, the printer James Franklin, Benjamin's older brother, started the New England Courant, and that was what we might recognize today as a real newspaper. He filled his paper with stories of adventure, articles on art, on famous people, and on all sorts of political subjects.‎ Three centuries after the appearance of Franklin's Courant, few believe that newspapers in their present printed form will remain alive for long. Newspaper companies are losing advertisers, readers, market value, and, in some cases, their sense of purpose at a speed that would not have been imaginable just several years ago. The chief editor of the Times said recently, "At places where they gather, editors ask one another, 'How are you?', as if they have just come out of the hospital or a lost law case.” An article about the newspaper appeared on the website of the Guardian, under the headline “NOT DEAD YET.”‎ Perhaps not, but the rise of the Internet , which has made the daily newspaper look slow and out of step with the world, has brought about a real sense of death. Some American newspapers have lost 42% of their market value in the past three years. The New York Times Company has seen its stock drop by 54% since the end of 2004, with much of the loss coming in the past year. A manager at Deutsche Bank suggested that stock-holders sell off their Times stock. The Washington Post Company has prevented the trouble only by changing part of its business to education; its testing and test-preparation service now brings in at least half the company's income.‎ ‎32．What can we learn about the New England Currant?‎ A. It is mainly about the stock market.‎ B. It marks the beginning of the American newspaper.‎ C. It remains a successful newspaper in America.‎ D. It comes articles by political leaders.‎ ‎33．What can we infer about the newspaper editors?‎ A. They often accept readers' suggestions B. They care a lot about each other’s health.‎ C. They stop doing business with advertisers.‎ D. They face great difficulties in their business.‎ ‎34．Which of the following found a new way for its development?‎ A. The Washington Post B. The Guardian C. The New York Times. D. New England Courant ‎35．How does the author seem to feel about the future of newspapers?‎ A. Satisfied B. Hopeful C. Worried D. Surprised 三、完形填空 The Sweetest Thing When I was ten, I was crazy about candy. Whenever in our small-town_______with my mom, I would run my fingers through my favorite candy on the shelf.‎ Once there, thinking about all things sweet I noticed a man a few feet away pushing buttons on the ATM machine.

You're right," he said with surprise, "I'm________a $20 bill."‎ ‎"Here you go," I said, smiling with pride, as if I was a(n)________who had solved a mystery.

I ripped it open to find packages of candy.‎ ‎"Dear Felice, Thank you very much for________my $20. You are a great girl, and, appreciate your________.I hope you enjoy this candy. Best Wishes, Tom." Tom included his business card. It turned out he was vice-president for the candy company. The candy tasted sweet, each________reminding me that what I had done mattered.

That’s because he couldn’t go to high school. He had to return back to his hometown, where his father wished him to learn to manage our small shop. However, the young man was not interesting in it and didn’t do as his father said. He spends a lot of time reading and he also learned how to repair cars. Last month, I received an e-mail from him inviting me take my vacation on his hometown. I started off. Seeing that he was such successful, I said, “Henry, all road lead to Rome. You are great!”‎ 五、七选五 Community Service Nowadays high schools are faced with a very controversial issue whether or not community service hours are needed to graduate. High schools are arguing that 40 hours of community service are needed to graduate, but many upset students are voicing protests(反对) to this demand.‎ Supporters of the community service project argue that while high school students are participating in community service, they will become better aware of what the real world is like. Students will learn valuable life lesson by doing community service. 57． They feel that if high school students are forced to do community service they will begin to see it as a punishment and as something that they have to do because it is required instead of something that they want to do. Students will in the future look back at the community service projects that they were forced to do throughout high school. 58．‎ Another idea that the protestors give about this community service issue is time restriction. When a student goes to school full time, he is involved in after-class activities and also works. 59． Supporters argue back that high school students only need to fulfill 40 hours of community service throughout 4 years. If students well manage their time and start the community service in their first year in high school, all they need to do is an hour every other week.‎ ‎60． The protestors argue that high school students do not have their driver’s license, so how are they expected to get to their community service site when their parents or friends are at work or just too busy to give them a ride. 61． The supporters argue that students can find community service projects close to home or if they live in the country find another student to car pool with.‎ In my opinion, community service is a wonderful thing that everyone should be required to do at some point in their life, but are high school students mature and responsible enough to take on community ‎ service projects at this stage in their life?‎ A. Protestors have struck back with a very solid argument.‎ B. A final controversial issue that appears is transportation.‎ C. Students will feel good about themselves for helping others in need.‎ D. They will continue to carry a negative attitude towards community service for their lifetime.‎ E. Both sides have solid arguments about why community service should or should not be forced upon students.‎ F. Unless the school offers a means of transportation for the students there really is no solution to this problem.‎ G. The time that is needed to participate in a community service project may place quite a burden on the student.‎ 六、书面表达 ‎62．假定你是李华，你校将接待一批来自美国的高中生到你校学习汉语，目前校办公室正在为他们征寻为期两周的接待家庭。请用英语给学校写一封信提出申请，说明你愿意接收的理由和条件。‎ 内容要点：‎ ‎1.介绍自己的基本情况（姓名、性别、年龄、性格等）；‎ ‎2. 自己的英语水平； 3.家庭条件； 4．相关经历； 5．其他……‎ 注意：‎ 词数120左右；‎ 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯；‎ 文中不得透露个人真实姓名和学校名称；‎ 开头语和结束语已为你写好，不计人总词数。‎ 参考词汇host family接待家庭 Dear Sir / Madam,‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎______________________________________________________________________‎ Yours Faithfully Li Hua 参考答案 第一部分 听力 ‎ ‎1～5 ACCCC 6～10 CACAC 11～15 BCBBB 16～20 CBCAA ‎21．D ‎22．B ‎23．A ‎24．B ‎25．C ‎26．D ‎27．D ‎28．B ‎29．D ‎30．C ‎31．A ‎32 B ‎33．D ‎34 A ‎35 C ‎36．C ‎37．D ‎38．B ‎39．D ‎40．A ‎41．D ‎42．A ‎43．B ‎44．C ‎45．C ‎46．B ‎47．C ‎48．A ‎49．D ‎50．B ‎51．A ‎52．C ‎53．B ‎54．D ‎55．A ‎56．1.who→whom ‎2.because→why ‎3.去掉back ‎4.our→their ‎5.interesting→interested ‎6.spends→spent ‎7.take前加to ‎8.on→in ‎9.such→so ‎10.road→roads ‎57．A ‎58．D ‎59．G ‎60．B ‎61．F ‎62．Dear Sir / Madam,‎ I’m Li Hua, an 16-year-old girl student in Class One, Grade Three.
