This one was worn and held together with staples(书钉)．“Why two bags?” her father asked. “The other is something else” Molly answered．“What’s in it?” “Just some stuff．Take it with you．” Not wanting to discuss the matter, he put both sacks（bags） into his briefcase, kissed Molly and ‎ rushed off．At midday he opened Molly’s bag and took out the contents：two hair ribbons，three small stones，a plastic dinosaur，a tiny sea shell，a small doll，and 13 pennies．．．The busy father smiled，finished eating，and swept the desk clean into the wastebasket, Molly’s stuff included．‎ ‎ That evening，Molly ran up behind him as he read the paper．”Where’s my bag?” “What bag?” “The one I gave you this morning” “I left it at the office, why ?” “I forgot to put this note in it” she said． “And，besides，Daddy，the things in the sack are the things I really like．I thought you might like to play with them．You didn’t lose the bag，did you，Daddy?” “Oh，no” he said，lying. “I just forgot to bring it home．I’ll bring it back tomorrow” While Molly hugged her father’s neck，he unfolded the note that read” I love you，Daddy.” Molly had given him her treasures－all that a 7-year-old held dear．‎ ‎ Love in a paper bag，and he missed it－not only missed it, but had thrown it in the wastebasket. So back he went to the office. Just ahead of the night janitor(看门人), he picked up the bag from the wastebasket. He put the treasures inside and carried it home carefully. The bag didn't look so good, but the stuff was all there and that’s what counted.‎ ‎ After dinner, he asked Molly to tell him about the stuff in the sack. It took a long time to tell. Everything had a story or a memory. “Sometimes I think of all the great times in this sweet life,” he thought.‎ ‎ We should all remember that it’s not the destination that counts in life, but the journey. That journey with the people we love is all that really matters. It is such a simple truth but it is so easily forgotten.‎ ‎21．What did Molly give her father a second bag for?‎ ‎ A．She didn’t want to keep the things in the bag．‎ ‎ B．She hoped those things would bring happiness to her father．‎ ‎ C．She wanted to remind her father of the stories behind the things．‎ ‎ D．She enjoyed playing with her father． ‎ ‎22．After Father heard what his daughter said，he felt         .‎ ‎ A．regretful       B．surprised        C．sad         D. satisfied ‎23. Which of the following is the most suitable title of the passage?‎ ‎ A．An Important Journey                  B．Two Bags   ‎ ‎ C．Father and Daughter       D．Love in a Paper Bag ‎ B ‎ Betty Friedan, born in 1921 in Peoria, Illinois, attended Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts．She finished her studies in psychology in 1942. After college she attended the University of California at Berkeley to continue her studies. Later, she moved to New York City and worked as a reporter and editor for labor union newspapers．‎ ‎ In 1947, Betty married Carl Friedan. They had a child, the first of three．When Betty Friedan became pregnant for the second time, she was dismissed from her job at the newspaper．After that she worked as an independent reporter for magazines.

Demonstrations were also held in other cities．‎ ‎ In 1981, Betty Friedan wrote a book called "The Second Stage" about the condition of the ‎ women's movement. Friedan wrote that the time for huge demonstrations and other such events had passed．She urged the movement to try to increase its influence on American political life．Some younger members of the movement criticized her as too conservative．‎ ‎ Betty Friedan died on February 4, 2006. She was considered the mother of modern women's liberation movement．Betty Friedan once told a television reporter how she wanted to be remembered: ‘‘ She helps make women feel better about being women．”‎ ‎24．According to Paragraph 2, Betty lost her job because ．‎ ‎ A．she was pregnant B．she got married ‎ C．her editors didn't like her D. she was too independent ‎25．Betty led a huge demonstration to ．‎ ‎ A．fight against the government B. fight for women's rights ‎ C．take part in political life D．get support from the government ‎26．The book "The Second Stage" ．‎ ‎ A. was popular among young women readers ‎ B. thought highly of those huge demonstrations ‎ C. was about the condition of the women's movement then ‎ D. decreased the movement's influence on American political life ‎27．From the last paragraph, we know that ．‎ ‎ A．Betty helped women live better ‎ B．Betty wanted to be remembered forever ‎ C．Betty thought it better to be a woman ‎ D．The television reporter knew Betty well C Last winter, when I was heavily pregnant, I was visiting my sister and brother-in-law's house and had to park in a nearby parking lot because they didn't have accessible parking. The snow was extremely heavy and there was lots of ice on the ground --- not many people had ventured out that evening! ‎ ‎ When I returned to my car around 11.pm, I noticed that I was the only car left. Nervously, I hopped into the car and let it warm up a bit. When I finally tried to drive away, my wheels began to spin. I was stuck! I spun and spun and wondered what to do. ‎ ‎ All of a sudden, in my rear view mirror, I saw four teen-aged boys approaching my car. They were walking side by side in a line and dressed a bit like gang members --- at least I thought that's what they looked like. My car was in a very isolated area and I began to panic. I was certain they were coming to my car to harm me. Terrified, I just froze. One of the young men tapped on my window and said "Excuse me, Ma'am, can we help you? You seem stuck." Still afraid and fearing the worst, I said "I am stuck." And the young man said "It's okay, stay in your car and we'll push you out of the snow." And they did!‎ ‎ When they finally got me out of the snow, they smiled and waved. I rolled down my window and thanked them, embarrassed to have judged them so poorly ‎28 .Why did the author just freeze when the four young men walking toward her car?‎ A.

The best title for the text would be___________‎ A. Every man has his faults ‎ B. Fortune favors those who use their judgment C. Don't judge a book by its cover D. Think twice before you do D Babies born in summer are more likely to become short-sighted in late life, a study has shown.‎ ‎ As many as a quarter of all cases of short-sightedness are caused by too great an exposure to sunlight in the first weeks of life, say eye experts. They are advising all parents to put sunglasses on their babies during the first weeks. Scientists had already established that over-exposure to sunlight caused shortsightedness in animals. Researchers who compared the months in which babies were born with whether they needed glasses later on say the principle also applies to humans. A study of almost 300,000 young adults---the largest of its kind showed that those born in June and July had a 25 per cent greater chance of becoming severely short-sighted than those born in December or January. Research leader Professor Michael Belkin of Tel Aviv University, said it was because prolonged illumination(光照) causes the eyeball to lengthen, causing short-sightedness. Therefore, the more light a newborn is exposed to, the more the eyeball lengthens and the worse the short-sightedness will be. The mechanism which lengthens the eyeball is associated with levels of melatonin(褪黑激素), a pigment (色素) which protects the skin against harmful rays of the sun. In young babies not enough melatonin is released as protection, meaning they are more vulnerable to sunburn and changes to eyeball shape.‎ ‎ Sight expert Professor Daniel O’Leary, of Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, said “At the moment we don’t know the precise cause of why light exposure affects sight, but the evidence seems to prove that it is one of the reasons for people becoming shortsighted.”‎ ‎32. Babies born in summer are more likely to be shortsighted ____________.‎ ‎  A. because the summer sun is too strong for babies ‎  B. because babies who are born in summer have lengthened eyeballs ‎  C. if exposed to much sunlight in the first weeks after they are born ‎  D. if parents don’t know a proper way to protect their babies’ eyes ‎33. Melatonin is a kind of material to ___________.‎ ‎  A. prevent the eyes from becoming near-sighted ‎  B. protect the skin from harmful sun rays ‎  C. make our body strong ‎  D. protect babies’ eyes from summer sun ‎34. From what Professor Daniel O’Leary says we can conclude that ___________.‎ ‎  A. there is no evidence that shortsightedness is related to exposure to sunlight ‎  B. whether light exposure affects sight still needs to be further proved ‎  C. he believes that light exposure can cause shortsightedness ‎  D. he tries to give the cause of why light exposure affects sight ‎35. The underlined word “vulnerable” in the passage probably means __________.‎ A. easy to be harmed          B. resistant  C. protective       D. changeable 第二节（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（A 、B 、C 、D 、E、F、G）选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Improve your memory Do you find yourself forgetting where you left your keys or blanking out information on important tests?  36   Before your next big exam, be sure to check out some of these tried and tested ways of improving memory. ‎ Focus your attention on the materials you are studying. Attention is one of the major components (组成部分) of memory. In order for information to move from short-term memory into long-term memory, you need to actively attend to this information.  37  ‎ Structure and organize the information you are studying. Researchers have found that information is best organized in related groups.  38  Or you can make an outline of your notes and textbook readings to help group related concepts (概念).‎ ‎ 39 When you are studying unfamiliar material, take the time to think about how this information relates to things that you already know. By establishing relationships between new ideas and previously existing memories, you can greatly increase the likelihood of recalling (回想起)  the recently learned information.‎ Pay extra attention to difficult information. Remembering information at the beginning or end of an article is easy. However, recalling information from its middle can be difficult.  40   Another way is to try restructuring what you have learned so it will be easier to remember. When you come across an especially difficult concept, devote some extra time to memorizing the information.‎ A. Use this approach in your own studies.‎ B. Try grouping similar concepts and terms together.‎ C. Relate new information to things you already know.‎ D. Repeat the information you are studying to improve memory.‎ E. Try to study in a quiet place and concentrate on your learning.‎ F. Fortunately, there are things that you can do to help improve your memory.‎ G. You can overcome this problem by spending extra time memorizing this information.‎ 第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分40分）‎ 第一节：完型填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）从每题所给的四个选项 （A 、B 、C 和D ）中 ，选出最佳选项 ，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ ‎ My sister and her husband loved going on short holidays to new places.
