B Eddie’s father used to say he’d spent so many years by the ocean, breathing seawater .Now, away from that ocean ,in the hospital bed ,his body began to look like a beached fish. His condition went from fair to stable and from stable to serious .Friends went from saying , “He’ll be home in a day,” to “He’ll be home in a week .” In his father’s absence ,Eddie helped out at the pier(码头), working evenings after his taxi job. When Eddie was a teenager ,if he ever complained or seemed bored with the pier ,his father would shout, “What ? This isn’t good enough for you?” And later ,when he’d suggested Eddie take a job there after high school ,Eddie almost laughed, and his father again said, “What? This isn’t good enough for you ?” And before Eddie went to war , when he’d talked of marrying Marguerite and becoming an engineer ,his father said , “What? This isn’t good enough for you ?” And now, regardless of all that ,here he was ,at the pier ,doing his father’s labor. Parents rarely let go of their children ,so children let go of them .They move on. They move away .It is not until much later, as the heart weakens ,that children understand ;their stories, and all their accomplishments ,sit on top of the stories of their mothers and fathers ,stones upon stones , beneath the waters of their lives. Finally ,one night , at his mother’s urging ,Eddie visited the hospital .He entered the room slowly .His father ,who for years had refused to speak to Eddie ,now lacked the strength to even try. “Don’t sweat it ,kid,” the other workers told him. “Your old man will pull through .He’s the toughest man we’ve ever seen.” When the news came that his father had died ,Eddie felt the emptiest kind of anger ,the kind that circles in its cage. In the weeks that followed, Eddie’s mother lived in a confused state . She spoke to her husband as if he were still there .She yelled at him to turn down the radio . She cooked enough food for two .One night ,when Eddie offered to help with the dishes ,she said. “Your father will put them away.” Eddie put a hand on her shoulder. “Ma,” he said ,softly , “Dad’s gone.” “Gone where?” 59.In Paragraph 4, the writer indicates that . A.Children like moving away from them parents B.Children often feel regretful because they leave their parents C.Children wouldn’t have achieved so much without their parents’ support D.Children can never understand how much their parents have devoted to them 60.The underlined sentence probably means “ ”. A.Don’t give it up B.Don’t worry about it C.Don’t let him down D.Don’t touch it 61.Which of the following shows the right order of the story? a.Eddie’s father died. b.Eddie worked as a taxi driver. c.Eddie married Marguerite. d.Eddie was bored with his father’s job. A.baed B.deab C.beda D.deba 62.From the last part of the passage ,we learn that . A.Eddie’s mother liked to l isten to the radio B.Eddie often helped his mother wash the dishes C.Eddie and his wife lived in his mother’s apartment D.Eddie’s mother missed her husband so much that she was at a loss C Are you a problem shopper? The answer is “Yes” , if you or someone else thinks that you sometimes get carried away with shopping .In other words ,do you or does someone else think you are occupied in extreme shopping ? If people have regrets later about their shopping , or have an “out-of-control” feeling about the quantities of what they buy or the amount of credit they use , they may be considered to be problem shoppers. Extreme shopping can lead to a more serious problem –addictive shopping . Addictive shoppers feel driven by the desire to shop and spend money . They experience great tension which drives them to shop and spend money and they feel a “rush” during the time they are occupied with the shopping activity. Extreme or addictive shopping may result from long-time unpleasant feelings, of which anxiety ,pain and shame are common ones,. When we feel bad inside ,we often do something to make ourselves feel better . In this case ,we often go shopping . A few people shop to relieve their boredom or emptiness .For some people ,the motivation is a desire for status ,power ,beauty or success .Some love to shop as it makes them feel valued in the eyes of the shop assistants .Others shop simply because it makes them forget , at least temporarily , tension ,fear or unhappiness in their life. Besides ,shopping malls are designed to encourage continual shopping . For instance ,there are some malls where you can’t see clocks displaying the time because they don’t want you to become too aware of the time you spend there .What’s more ,food courts, coffee shops and restrooms are provided ,so you don’t have to leave the mall because of your physical needs. Therefore ,once you become aware of how market forces work ,you will certainly come to control your shopping behavior .For example ,how much time you will spend an d what areas you will visit can be decided before you enter the mall. Keep a written account of what items you will buy and how much money you will spend . Make a plan for what you are going to buy before you feel the urge to shop and then stick to it . That is vital for gaining self0control. 63.Which of the following people may not be problem shoppers? A.Those who cannot control the amount of credit they use. B.Those who just walk around the shopping malls. C.Those who are occupied in too much shopping. D.Those who feel sorry for their shopping. 64.According to the passage, what may not result in addictive shopping? A.The awareness of how market forces work. B.The desire for status ,power ,beauty or success. C.Boredom, emptiness ,tension ,fear or unhappiness in people’s life. D.Long-time bad feelings of anxiety ,pain and shame. 65.What does the author suggest to control our shopping behaviour? A.Never going to the shopping malls because there are many tricks. B.Applying for a credit card before we go shopping. C.Making the shopping time as short as possible. D.Making a shopping list before we go shopping. 66.The author writes this passage to . A.inform the shopping malls how to attract more shoppers B.provide solutions to the problem shopping. C.scold the problem shoppers D.tell a shopping story D Unusual incidents are being reported across the Arcitc. Inuit(因纽特人)families going off on snowmobiles to prepare their summer hunting camps have found themselves cut off from home by a sea of mud .There are also reports of sea ice breaking up earlier than usual, carrying seals beyond the reach of hunters. Climate change may still be a rather abstract idea to most of us ,but in the Arctic it is already having great effects –if summertime ice continues to shrink at its present rate ,the Arctic Ocean could soon become almost ice-free in summer .The knock –on effects are likely to include more warming, cloudier skies ,and higher sea levels .Scientists are increasingly eager to find out what’s going on in the Arctic. For the Inuit the probkm is mgent. They live in unsteady baiance with one of the toughest environments on earth. Climate change, whatever its causes, is a direct danger to their way of life. Nobody knows the Arctic as well as the locals, which is why they are not content simply to stand back and let outsider experts tell them what’s happening. In Canada, where the Inuit people are trying hard to guard their hard-won autonomy in the country’s newest land, Nunavut, they believe their best hope of survival in this changing environment lies in combining their ancestral knowledge with the best of modern science. This is challenge in itself. The Canadian Arctic is a vast , treeless polar desert that’s covered with snow for most of the year. Adventure into this area and you get some idea of the hardships facing anyone who calls this home. Farming is out of the question and nature offers few pickings. Humans first settled in the Arctic a mere 4,500 years ago, surviving by taking advantage of sea fist. The environment tested them to the limits: sometimes the settlers were successful, sometimes they failed and disappeared. But around a thousand years ago, one group appeared that was uniquely well adapted to deal with the Arctic environment. These Thule people moved in from Alaska, bringing dogs, iron tools and the like. They are the ancestors of today’s Inuit people. 67.Which of the following is not likely to be the effect of climate change? A.Shorter and shorter summertime. B.Ice-free summer around th e Arctic. C.Higher sea levels. D.More dloudy skies. 68.The Inuit people believe the solution to the climate change problem is . A.to change their way of life B.to use their ancestral knowledge C.to make the best of modem science D.to use their ancestral knowledge and modern science 69.It can be c oncluded from the last paragraph that . A.the first settlers in the Arctic survived by taking advantage of sea fish B.it’s hard to farm in the Arctic due to the climate change C.the ancestors of Inuit people stood out among the settlers D.the Thule people from Alaska invented iron tools 70.Which of the following is the best title of this passage? A.Climate change and the Inuit B.Climate change around the Arctic C.Global warming around the world D.The Inuit and their ancestors around the world 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分) 根据短文内容,从短文后旳选项中选出能填入空白处旳最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.请将答案写在答题纸上. SELF STUDY TIPS However difficult you find it to arrange your time, it will pay off in the long run if you set aside a certain part of the day for studying - and stick to it. 71 . But don’t forget to make sure that you have enough left for recreational activities or simply to be “with” yourself: reading a novel or watching a television programme.

Formally dressed, we gathered at the school auditorium at 2 pm, waiting for the great moment to come. On the stage sat our beloved teachers and some parents. At the beginning, our president and a parent delivered to us their congratulations and best wishes. We could feel both their love and expectations. Then two students, representing us, expressed our gratitude and determination to take on responsibilities. The most moving moment came when we were given the letters from parents. Tears rolled down my face as I read, recalling each memorable moment in my life and feeling the ever-lasting love from my parents. At the end of the ceremony, all of us promised to try our best, not only for ourselves as adults, but also for our families and our society. The Coming-of-Age ceremony, for me, is more than a ceremony; it is instructive lesson. That’s what we did on this special occasion. Do you have similar events in the USA?

When their boss comes, he is shocked to find that their tracks have failed to meet the set of tracks coming from the opposite direction. Keep your goals n mind and constantly compare what you are doing with your goals. That’s what I’d like to say to the men. It is easy to get lost in the details of our lives, forgetting about the way we are heading, just like the two workers buried in their present task. If they keep on working like this, they will never achieve their goals. Make sure you are on the right track towards your goals, and you will see growth each time you make an effort. 录音原文 Text 1 M: Excuse me, could you please tell me if the Miami flight will be arriving on time?

W: And when would you like to move in? M: On the first of the month. W: Okay. Here are the photos of the apartments that fit your preferences. M: Thank you. The one on Broadway Avenue looks nice. I would like to see it. and the one on Main Street. W: Sure. Let me get keys and we will go look at them. If you choose to rent one of them, we would need some money for possible damage. You will be responsible for everything inside. If you like, we can sign an agreement today. Text 9 Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention, please. Before I go on to talk about our target for the coming year, let’s have a look at our performance over the year. Since I am in charge of our company, I’m going to divide my review into two parts: first, financial and them technology.On the financial front, the results have been very pleasing. The whole sale has increased by 28%, costs have dropped by 3% and profits are up by 16%. So the company as a whole has performed well. Some sales have done very well, especially in China, our largest export market. The consumer market at home has been very competitive and will continue to be so. Our results in this market have been rather disappointing, just 2% up compared with last year. Text 10 W: Come on, Bob. Let’s get ready for the ski trip in Europe. M: Yes, but what’s the exact date to leave? W: January 9th I think. M: OK. Well. I don’t need to get ready. I can just take a few things, you know, a ski jacket, a sweater, my ski boots. I don’t need much. W: You need more than that. How about gloves? And how about a hat? You’re got a great black ski hat. Take that. M: Oh, right. Where is my that? Great. I found it. And here are my black gloves. Ahhh…here’s my blue sweater. I’ll take this too. What else? Maybe I’ll take this… W: Bob, our hotel has a swimming pool. Take a swimming suit. Your blue one. M: Right, right. My blue swimming suit. You know, I got it tin Italy. It cost me $354. I like it very much. Then… W: Then, what else? M: Of course, I’ll take my white bathrobe. Well, I think I am ready…Wait, I guess I’ll take my black suit, too. And this white shirt and my red tie. So we can go out at night. W: I thought you only needed a ski jacket, a sweater and a pair of ski bots. M: No. actually, what I need is a bigger suitcase. I think I’ll take an extra pair of jeans, and maybe a few more shirts… W: Bob, that’s to many things. 一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一查看更多
