Nauru’s heartbreaking story could have one good consequence — other countries might learn from its mistakes. ‎ For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived on the remote island‎ of ‎Nauru, far from western civilization. The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798. He was the British captain of the Hunter, a whaling ship. He called the island Pleasant Island. ‎ However, because it was very remote, Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first. The whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and alcohol. These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island. A ten-year civil war started, which reduced the population from 1,400 to 900. ‎ Nauru’s real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate (磷酸盐)on the island. In fact, it found that the island‎ of ‎Nauru was nearly all phosphate, which is a very important fertilizer for farming. The company began mining the phosphate. ‎ A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip mine. When a company strip-mines, it removes the top layer of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants. Strip mining totally destroys the land. Gradually, the lovely island‎ of ‎Nauru started to look like the moon. ‎ In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world. Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate. ‎ Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars. In ‎ addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses. Soon people realized that they had a terrible problem — their phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing. By 2000, Nauru was financially ruined. Experts say that it would take approximately $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island. This will probably never happen. ‎ ‎56. What might be the author’s purpose in writing the text?________.‎ A. To seek help for Nauru’s problems. B. To give a warning to other countries C. To show the importance of money D. To tell a heartbreaking story of a war.‎ ‎57. What was Nauru like before the Europeans came? ________.‎ A. Rich and powerful B. Modern and open C. Peaceful and attractive D. Greedy and aggressive ‎58. The ecological disaster in Nauru resulted from _______. ‎ A. soil pollution B. phosphate overmining ‎ C. farming activity D. whale hunting ‎ ‎59. Which of the following was a cause of Nauru’s financial problem? ________.‎ A. Its leaders misused the money B. It spent too much repairing the island ‎ C. Its phosphate mining cost much money D. It lost millions of dollars in the civil war.‎ ‎60. What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph?_ _______.‎ A. The phosphate mines were destroyed ‎ B. The ecological damage is difficult to repair. ‎ C. The island was abandoned by the Nauruans ‎ D. The leaders will take the experts’ words seriously. ‎ B The booking notes of the play “the Age of Innocence”:‎ Price: ＄10‎ BOOKING There are four easy ways to book seats for performance:‎ ‎------ in person The Box Office is open Monday to Saturday, ‎10 a.m. ---8 p.m.‎ ‎------ by telephone Ring 01324976 to book your tickets or to pay by credit card（Visa, MasterCard and Amex accepted）‎ ‎------ by post Simply complete the booking form and return it to Global Theatre Box Office. ‎ ‎------ on line Complete the on-line booking form at www.

His early interest was in education, but he was also an outstanding athlete. While in college, he was awarded as the man who contributed the most to sports during his four years in school. Drew’s sister Elsie suffered from tuberculosis(肺结核) and died in 1920. Her death influenced his decision to study medicine.‎ After becoming a doctor and working as a college instructor, Drew went to Columbia‎ ‎University, where he earned his Doctor of Medical Science degree. During this time he became involved in research on blood and blood transfusions. ‎ At Columbia, he wrote a paper on “banked blood”, in which he described a technique he developed for the long-term preservation of blood plasma. Before his discovery, blood could not be stored for more than two days because of the rapid breakdown of red blood cells. Drew had discovered that by separating the plasma from the whole blood and then refrigerating them separately, they could be combined a week later for a blood transfusion. Drew became the first African American to receive a PhD in medical science. ‎ After World War II broke out, Drew was called upon to put his techniques into practice. He was named a project director for the American Red Cross but soon quit his post after the ‎ government issued an order that blood taken from white donors should be separated from that of black donors. ‎ On April 1, 1950, after he attended the annual free clinic at the John‎ A.‎ Andrew Memorial ‎Hospital, he and other three physicians decided to drive back home. As he was tired from spending the night before in the operating room, he lost control of his car. Drew was badly injured and was taken to Alamance General Hospital in Burlington‎, ‎North Carolina. He was pronounced dead half an hour after he first received medical attention. Drew's funeral was held on April 5, 1950, at the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church in Washington‎, ‎DC.‎ But contrary to popular thought, he was not refused a blood transfusion by an all-white hospital. He indeed received a transfusion but was beyond the help of the doctors attending to him. As Dr. John Ford, one of the doctors who survived the accident, later explained, “We all received the very best of care. The fact that he was a Black did not in any way limit the care that was given to him.” Over the years, Drew has been considered one of the most honored figures in the medical field.‎ ‎66. According to the passage, ________ might have contributed to the invention of blood banks. ‎ A. the combination of blood cells ‎ B. the rapid breakdown of red blood cells C. the development of refrigerating technique D. the technique of separating plasma from the whole blood ‎67. By saying “contrary to the popular thought” in the last paragraph, the writer _______. ‎ A. can’t understand the doctors’ decision ‎ B. indicates his concern about the popular thought C. feels disappointed with the all-white hospital D. means what the doctors did was out of expectation ‎68.We can learn from the passage that Dr Charles Drew is best remembered by people as _______. .‎ A. an outstanding athlete B. a college instructor ‎ C. a medical researcher D. a project director ‎ ‎69. What conclusion can we draw from the passage? ‎ A. Charles Drew died in a medical accident.‎ B. African Americans were still treated unfairly in the 1940s. ‎ C. Charles Drew was the first African American to receive a PhD.‎ D. Physicians refused to give Charles Drew medical attention because he was a black.‎ ‎70. In which section of a magazine can we most probably find the passage?‎ A. People B. Health C. Culture D. Entertainment D ‎ How many times have you got upset because someone wasn't doing his job，because your child isn't behaving？How many times have you been irritated (恼怒的) when you've planned something carefully and things didn't go as you'd hoped?‎ This kind of anger and irritation happens to all of us—it’s part of the human experiences.‎ One thing that irritates me is when people talk during a movie，or cut me off in traffic. Actually, I have a lot of these little annoyances—don't we all？And it isn’t always easy to find peace when you’ve become upset or irritated.‎ Let me tell you a little secret to finding peace of mind: see the glass as already broken .‎ See, the cause of our stress, anger and irritation is that things don't go the way we like, the way we expect them to. Think of how many times this has been true for you. And so the solution is simple：expect things to go wrong, expect things to be different than we hoped or planned，expect the unexpected to happen. And accept it. ‎ One quick example: on our recent trip to Japan, I told my kids to expect things to go wrong—they always do on a trip. I told them, “See it as part of the adventure.”‎ And this worked like a charm. When we inevitably(不可避免地) took the wrong train on a foreignlanguage subway system, or when it rained on the day we went to Disney Sea, or when we took three trains and walked 10 blocks only to find the National Children's Castle closed on Mondays...they said, “It's part of the adventure！” And it was all OK—we didn't get too bothered.‎ So when the nice glass you bought inevitably falls and breaks some day, you might get upset. But things will be different, if you see the glass as already broken, from the day you get it. You know it'll break some day, so from the beginning, see it as already broken. Be a timetraveler, or someone with timetraveling vision, and see the future of this glass, from this moment until it inevitably breaks. And when it breaks, you won't be upset or sad—because it was already broken, from the day you got it. And you’ll realize that every moment you have with it is precious.‎ ‎71. The author would probably agree that________.‎ A. we should control our anger and irritation B. we must get well prepared for the future C. optimism can help us overcome our anger and irritation D. anger and irritation is a natural part of our life ‎72. The purpose of the author is to________.‎ A. tell us his own experience in life B. advise us how to find peace of mind ‎ C. tell us a happy trip he took with his children ‎ D. ask us to see things from both sides ‎73. By the underlined part (in Para.4), the author tells us to________.‎ ‎ A. get ready for the worst result of things ‎ B. enjoy the process of things ‎ C. expect little from life ‎ D. find the relationship between cause and effect ‎74. The author’s children could enjoy their trip to Japan because________.‎ ‎ A. everything went smoothly ‎ B. they had a lot of adventures ‎ C. they had expected things to go wrong ‎ D. they could soon get used to the customs there ‎75. We can learn from the passage that the author________.‎ ‎ A. often gets angry in his life ‎ B. can adjust his state of mind accordingly ‎ C. always expects others to act in his way ‎ D. always suffers from his anger and irritation 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题 共35分）‎ 第四部分：写作 （共两节，满分35分）‎ 第一节 阅读表达 （满分10分）‎ ‎[1] At some point in your life you are bound to be required to give a speech. But are you capable of having the effect on an audience that you want to have? Here are some things to keep in mind. ‎ ‎[2] You may think it's good to create an informal effect, or even that it' s cool to use filler words (填充词) such as “like” and “you know”. But in reality, these words add nothing, and create the danger of making you sound foolish and uninformed.‎ ‎[3] Pauses can be of significant help in adding depth to your speech, but only when they are used at the right moments. Pausing suddenly and with a panicked look will just make your audience uneasy. Also, a very long silence is the last thing you need. Make sure that your pauses are nicely placed if you want to sound like a speaker who has absolute control of what he is talking about.‎ ‎[4] You also need to be careful when you switch to a new idea during the course of a speech. Often speakers ________such as “well”, “so”, and so on, when they move on to new ideas. My advice, however, is to avoid such words and to try to think of a way of making a tradition that is unique to the topic of your speech.‎ ‎[5] Finally, avoid “umming” and “ahhing” he way many people do when they give speeches. You want to sound confident and assured, and the way not to do so is to put an “urn” or an “ah” in the middle of every sentence.‎ ‎76. What is the text mainly about? (No more than 8 words)‎ ‎_________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎77. Complete the following statement with proper words. (No more than 3 words)‎ It's careful to switch to ________________________ when you give a speech.‎ ‎78. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4 with proper words. (No more than 5 words)‎ ‎__________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎79. Why does the author say it' s not good to use filler words? (No more than 12 words)‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________‎ ‎80. What does the word "they" (paragraph 3) probably refer to? (No more than 2 words)‎ ‎_________________________________________________________________________‎ 第二节 书面表达：（满分25分）‎ 目前，越来越多的青少年参加各类电视节目的才艺表演（talent shows）。对此，中学生的看法各不相同。请根据以下提示写一篇短文，并阐述自己的观点。‎ 赞同 ‎ 不赞同 ‎ ‎1．丰富社会经验2．增强自信 ‎3．全面发展 ‎1．模仿多，创新少 ‎2．沉迷于“明星梦”‎ ‎3．不利于学习 注意：1．词数100左右。2．适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。3．参考词汇: 模仿imitate 英语试卷参考答案和评分标准 ‎ Possible version:‎ At present, an increasing number of teenagers are taking part in TV talent shows, about which students’ opinions are divided. Some think that it is a stage to show their talents of art, contributing much to their social experience and self-confidence. What’s more, it’s good for their overall development.‎ However, other students hold the different idea that the teenagers are just imitating others rather than showing something original. Besides, some are such “star dream” followers that they can’t put their heart and soul into their study, thus affecting their study badly.‎
