Summer after ‎ ‎ summer，I enjoyed staying with my grandparents as a young child. I was from the city and loved the small town they lived in. People knew everyone，their kids，their pets，their ancestors. The bond with them continued to grow as I grew and they got older. Grandma was always using her hands for something exciting. She would make little sandwiches and we'd have tea parties. She'd make beautiful quilts for each one. I remember the small thimble (顶针) she would use while doing her needle work.‎ A few years ago，when Grandma left this earth，I bid farewell to a loving grandmother. How quickly our lives can change. We had just had tea together a couple of months earlier，on her 91st birthday.‎ I missed her very much. On one particular birthday，when I was feeling a little low，something happened to make me feel like she was sharing that special day with me. I was arranging some colorful pillows that she had made，and suddenly I felt something inside one pillow. It was small and hard. I moved the object to a seam (接缝) that I carefully opened，and to my delight out came a tiny silver thimble！ How happy I was to find something that had been a part of her. Not realizing it had fallen off her finger，I pictured her sewing it in that little pillow that I just happened to place on my bedspread that day. I carefully laid the thimble alongside the others I've collected over the years， where I could continue to see the gift God chose to reveal to me. What a precious memory of a very special lady who somehow，I knew，was laughing in delight at sewing her thimble inside my pillow.‎ I made some tea，using my best china，as Grandma always did，and enjoyed my tea and Grandma's thimble.

She spoke in a loud voice and the earth shook whenever she marched. That was in the first year of high school. She was a knowledgeable literature teacher then. However, ‎ during my first year in school, she struck terror into my heart (使我胆战心惊). And ‎ everyone else’s of course. Just the mention of her name made the most unruly classes silent. ‎ Nevertheless, the two years of junior high passed by rather quickly. Soon, I went to senior high class. I had worked hard and gotten the subject combination that I wished for. Together with a group of old friends, I soon settled down in class comfortably. ‎ To everyone’s surprise, she was fortunate enough to be my teacher that year. I was shocked when I heard the news. This time round, however, I decided not to hide in terror whenever she was near. I decided to face the fact that we were going to meet each other for the next 365 days. Instead of trying too hard to lick her boots, I tried my best to my natural self in front of her. ‎ Still, I could not shake off the ice-cold impression that she put in my heart. True, her jokes sometimes sent me into fits of laughter, yet at other times these jokes simply fell flat the moment she told them. My lovely class, however, was already ready to laugh at the right time of her amusing stories. After all, we would not want to run the risk of provoking (激怒) her. ‎ Unluckily, life was not to remain boring. One day we received news that Miss Vicki was to leave Singapore for the Philippines where she would take part in a voluntary teaching program for the poor. We did not know what to say actually. All of us cried at the airport. (330W)‎ ‎30. During the first year in school, the author thought Miss Vicki was . ‎ A. proud but patient B. scholarly but serious ‎ C. beautiful but strict D. humorous but single-minded ‎ ‎31. What does the underlined phrase “lick her boots” in Paragraph 3 mean?‎ A. Argue with her. B. Embarrass her.‎ C. Win her favor. D .Follow her closely. ‎ ‎32. What can we learn from Paragraph 4 ?‎ A. Miss Vicki was a good joke teller.‎ B . Miss Vicki’s jokes were always boring. ‎ C. Students liked Miss Vicki’s class very much. ‎ D. Students pretended to laugh to please Miss Vicki.‎ ‎33. What can we infer about Miss Vicki from the last paragraph? ‎ A. She had a strong sense of social responsibility. ‎ B. She was fired by the school.‎ C . She was not accepted by the students. ‎ D. She was unwilling to leave her students. ‎ D Tail Spin Two dolphins race around in a big pool in the Ocean‎ ‎Park. The smaller dolphin Grace, shows off a few of her tricks, turning around and waving hello to the crowd. The most amazing thing about her, however, is that she’s even swimming at all. She doesn’t have a tail.‎ Grace lost her tail as a baby when she got caught up in a fish trap. When the dolphin arrived at the Ocean‎ ‎Park in December 2005,she was fighting for her life. “Is she going to make it?” Her trainer, Abbey Stone, feared the worst. Grace did make it—but her tail didn’t. She ended up losing her flukes and the lower part of her peduncle.‎ Over the past six years, she has learned to swim without her tail. Dolphins swim by moving their flukes and peduncle up and down. Grace taught herself to move another way—like a fish! She pushes herself forward through the water by moving her peduncle from side to side.‎ The movements put harmful pressure on Grace’s backbone. So a company offered to create a man-made tail for her. The tail had to be strong enough to stay on Grace as she swam but soft enough that it wouldn’t hurt her.‎ The first time Grace wore the artificial tail, she soon shook it off and let it sink to ‎ the bottom of the pool. Now, she is still learning to use the tail. Some days she wears it for an hour at a time, others not at all. “The new tail isn’t necessary for her to feel comfortable,” says Stone, “but it helps to keep that range of motion(动作) and build muscles(肌肉).”‎ Now, the dolphin is about to get an even happier ending. This month, Grace will star in Dolphin Tale, a film that focuses on her rescue and recovery. Her progress has inspired more than just a new movie. Many people travel from near and far to meet her. Seeing Grace swim with her man-made tail gives people so much courage. (336W)‎ ‎34.When Grace first arrived at the Ocean Park, her trainer worried about her 　　　. ‎ A.chance of survival B.potential ability C.physical build D.adaptation to the surroundings ‎35.The story of Grace inspires people to 　　　. ‎ A.stick to their dreams B.treat animals friendly C.treasure what they have D.face difficulties bravely 第二节 阅读七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 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。选择中有两项为多余项。‎ Question: I found a new job in the nearby town last week. 36 But my sons don't want to leave, because they have established a good friendship with our neighbour's children.

We’ve got a couple from Taiwan and some from Hong Kong as well.‎ W: So how does it work?‎ M: Oh, well there’s a multimedia course website on the Internet where you can listen and watch at the same time, and of course you can do it at your own pace, so if you don’t understand something you just go back, or if you want some examples of the music, there are links to things that you can listen to. There’s quite a lot of theory, but it’s all done through musical examples, so it’s practical at the same time.‎ W: Do you have a course book?‎ M: No, we don’t use one. We’re given a software programme called NotaAbilityLite and what it does is it presents what we write, the music we write, really clearly. We can write our own music, quite complex stuff for various instruments, and the programme plays it back to us. So it means that your computer is actually your own musical instrument!‎ W: So I do need my own computer, obviously.‎ M: Yes. It works with at least 1GB of RAM.‎ W: That’s OK. I’ve got 2.‎ M: And a DVD-ROM, and a sound card, of course.‎ 听下面一段独白，回答第17至第20四个小题。现在，你有20秒钟的时间阅读这四个小题。‎ M: We all need exercise; this is as true for young people in their teens as it is for adults from 20 to 80. Regular exercise temporarily tires the body but then actually gives you more energy. This is why many people who suffer from general tiredness can benefit from taking more exercise rather than more rest, as long as there are no medical reasons for their tiredness. ‎ Exercise makes you feel and look better and can also help you to lose weight because it burns up fat or food to produce energy. In the past, most people used to get enough exercise in their working lives to stay reasonably fit. But nowadays nearly everyone — especially those who sit most of the day — should make a conscious effort to set time aside for regular exercise. If you are over 40, or if you have recently had a serious illness, it is a good idea to visit your doctor before starting a regular exercise routine. The important thing is to know what kind of exercise is suitable for you. It is best to start with mild exercise and to build up gradually. There are some useful general rules. For example, when you exercise, don’t exercise until you become exhausted, exercise until you are pleasantly tired. Take short exercise periods of 15 to 20 minutes. Four or five times a week should be enough. And the best time for exercise is usually in the earlier part of the day. In the evening it may be better to relax.‎
