My parents took us there for camping. On the way out, I asked them to wait while I ran up to E1 Capitan, a 11 rock of 3300 feet straight up. I touched that rock and knew 12 I wanted to climb it. That has been my life’s passion(钟爱) ever since climbing the rocks and mountains of Yosemite. I’ve long made Yosemite my 13 .‎ About 15 years ago I started seeing a lot of 14 , like toilet paper, beer cans, and empty boxes, around the area. It’s beyond me why visitors started respecting the place 15 and treated such a beautiful home-like place this way.‎ I tried picking up trash myself, but the job was too big, I would spend an hour or two on the job, only to find the area trashed all over again weeks later. Finally, I got so 16 it that I decided something had to change.‎ As a rock-climbing guide, I knew nothing about organizing any big event. But in 2004, together with some climbers, I set a date for a 17 . On that day, more than 300 people 18 . Over three days we collected about 6000 pounds of trash. It was amazing how much we were able to achieve. I couldn’t believe the 19 we made the park looked clean.‎ Each year volunteers come for the cleanup from everywhere. In 2007, 2945 people picked ‎ up 42330 pounds of trash and covered 132 miles of roadway.‎ I often hear people 20 about their surroundings(环境). If you are one of them, I would say the only way to change things is by 21 rather than complaining. We need to teach by example. You can’t blame(责备) others 22 you start with yourself.‎ ‎11.

Several leading educational psychologists(心理学家) say this is one of the biggest mistakes that can cause great problems to children.‎ However, if parents are a little gentler, the child may act successfully — especially if the parents can support him. Michael Li is very lucky. He is very fond of music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and inviting a teacher to give him personal piano lessons. They even drive him 59 kilometers twice a week for violin lessons. Although Michael’s mother knows very little about music, Michael’s father plays the piano very well. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling.‎ Michael’s friend, Winston Chen, however, is not so lucky. Although both his parents are successful musicians, they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are, so they enter him in every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win. “When I was at your age, I used to win every competition I entered,” Winston’s father tells him. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint(使失望) his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy.‎ ‎23. One of the worst mistakes any parent can make is to ____________.‎ ‎ A. pay much attention to their child’s education B. push the child into trying to achieve too much ‎ C. make their child become a musician D. help their child to succeed in the future ‎24. Michael Li is lucky because ____________.‎ ‎ A. his father knows music and teaches him much B. his parents are rich enough to support him ‎ C. his mother doesn’t know much about music D. his parents help him in a wise way ‎25. The two examples show that ____________.‎ ‎ A. it is important to let children develop in their own way ‎ B. it is successful to let children develop without others’ help ‎ C. successful parents often have unsuccessful children ‎ D. the more you help your children, the less they can achieve B Can dogs and cats get along well in the same home? People who are thinking about getting a dog as a friend for their cat are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found that if the cat is taken back home before the dog, and if they are introduced when ‎ still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. In two-thirds of the homes cats and dogs have a good relationship.‎ However, it wasn’t all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and the dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression (侵略, 好斗) and fighting were found in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body languages are just different. For example, when a cat turns its head away it means aggression, while a dog doing the same means submission (顺从).‎ In homes with cats and dogs living in peace, researchers found a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each other’s language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “Dog”, and dogs can learn how to talk “Cat”.‎ What’s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to become smarter. They can learn to read each other’s body languages, suggesting that the two may have more in common than was expected. Once familiar with each other’s body language, cats and dogs can play together, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa.‎ The importance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets – to people who don’t get along well, including neighbors, workmates, and even countries. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.‎ ‎26.  The underlined word swimmingly in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ___________.‎ ‎ A. early B. mostly C. quickly D. smoothly ‎27.  Some cats and dogs may fight when ____________.‎ ‎ A. they are cold to each other ‎ B. they look away from each other ‎ C. they misunderstand each other’s body languages ‎ D. they are introduced at an early age ‎28. What can we humans learn from cats and dogs?‎ ‎ A. We should learn to get along well with others.‎ ‎ B. We should know more about animals.‎ ‎ C. We should live in peace with animals.‎ ‎ D. We should learn more body languages. ‎ C Maybe it is true that we do not know what we have got until we lose it, but it is also true that we do not know what we have been missing until it arrives. Giving someone all your love never means that they will love you back. Do not expect love in return; but if it does not, be glad it grows in yours.‎ It takes an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Do not depend on one's appearance, it may not be true. Do not depend on wealth, even that disappears slowly. Depend on someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.‎ There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug(拥抱) them.‎ Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.‎ May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials(尝试) to make you strong, enough sadness to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.‎ Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too.‎ The happiest people do not necessarily give the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness waits for those who cry, those who have been hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can enjoy the importance of people who have touched their lives.‎ The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past. You cannot go on well in life until you let your past failures and heartaches go off.‎ When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you are the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.‎ ‎29. If you put yourself in another’s position(位置), ____________.‎ ‎ A. you should depend on wealth ‎ B. you shouldn't do those things that will hurt you and other people ‎ C. you will do what you want to do however dangerous it is to people ‎ D. you should depend on other people ‎30. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?‎ ‎ A. If you give someone your love, you are sure that she will give her love to you in return.‎ B. We often don’t know what we have lost until it happens.‎ C. If someone accepts your love and he doesn’t give you his love in return, you should be angry with him.‎ ‎ D. If it takes you an hour to love someone, you will easily forget her.‎ ‎31. In the last paragraph of the passage, the writer is actually telling us that a man in the world should be one who ____________.‎ ‎ A. can accept the suggestions made by others ‎ B. can live happily and forget the past ‎ C. does good to the people and wins their respect ‎ D. has made a lot of money for himself when he dies D A popular saying goes, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” However, that’s not really true. Words have the power to cheer us up or let us down. It doesn’t matter whether the words come from someone else or ourselves — the positive and negative (正面和负面) influences are just lasting.‎ We talk to ourselves sometimes. We’re usually too shy to admit(承认) it, though. In fact, we really shouldn’t be because more and more scientists believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.‎ This “self-talk” helps us make ourselves active, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. It is said that as much as 77% of self-talk is likely to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “Good job!”‎ Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the influence they will have. But we should realize that our words cause certain influence in others. For example, when returning what we bought to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the ‎ exchange. And the salesperson will probably answer in a similar manner. Otherwise you may get into trouble.‎ Words have power because of their lasting influences. Many of us feel sorry for something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.‎ Words have power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-confidence and encourage others to do their best. Negative words destroy(毁坏) all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to cure? The choice is ours.‎ ‎32. There is no need for us to feel shy when we talk to ourselves because __________.‎ ‎ A. almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselves ‎ B. talking to ourselves always gives us courage ‎ C. we may gain quite a few advantages of talking to ourselves ‎ D. it does no harm to have “self-talk” when we are alone ‎33. The underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also ___________ in time.‎ ‎ A. remind ourselves B. praise ourselves ‎ ‎ C. make ourselves relaxed D. give ourselves fun ‎34. The writer would probably hold the view that ____________.‎ ‎ A. it is better to think twice before talking to others ‎ B. negative words may encourage us to make more progress ‎ C. people prefer to remember friendly words ‎ D. encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offers ‎35. In which column(版面) of the newspaper can you most likely read this passage?‎ ‎ A. News. B. Nature. C. Health. D. Culture.‎ 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题 满分42分）‎ 四、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）‎ 阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后的表格中填入恰当的单词，每空一词。‎ Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.‎ Recite and repeat in conversation.‎ When you hear a person’s name, repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.‎ Ask the other person to recite and repeat.‎ You can let other people help you remember their names. After you’ve been introduced to someone，ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. Most people ‎ will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names.‎ Admit you don’t know.‎ Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say, “I’m working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?”‎ Use associations.‎ Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example, you could make a mental note, “Vicki Cheng -- tall, black hair. ” To reinforce the associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.‎ Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.‎ When meeting a group of people, pay attention to remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.‎ Go early.‎ Consider going early to conferences(会议), parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That’s fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others — an automatic review for you.‎ ‎ 36 of remembering names Recite and repeat in conversation.‎ When you hear a person’s name, say it several times.‎ Remember 37 to move your lips.‎ Ask the other person to recite and repeat.‎ After others introduce you to someone, ask the person to spell the name and pronounce it in a 38 way.‎ Admit you don’t know You’d better say, “I’m working to remember names better.

It means Vicki Cheng is a tall person with black ‎ hair.‎ Limit the number of new names you learn at one time Pay attention to remembering just two or three names.‎ ‎ 39 yourself to learning just first names is another way.‎ Go early When more people 40 conferences, you can hear them being introduced to others — an automatic review for you. ‎ 五、词汇（共8小题；每小题1分，满分8分）‎ A）根据句子意思，用括号中所给词的正确形式填空，每空填一词。‎ ‎41.
