It has to be someone we have never said those words to before or at least haven’t shared those words with for a long time. ‎ But as I began driving home my conscience started talking to me. It was telling me that I knew exactly who I needed to say I love you to. You see, five years ago, my father and I had a disagreement and really never settled it since that time. We avoided seeing each other unless we absolutely had to at Christmas or other family gatherings. ‎ So last Tuesday by the time I got home I had convinced myself I was going to tell my father I loved him. The next morning I was up bright and early. I could hardly sleep with excitement, nor did my wife. ‎ At 9:00, I called my dad to see if I could come over after work. When he answered the phone, I just said, “Dad, can I come over after work tonight? I have something to tell you. ” My dad responded with a grumpy face, “Now what?” I assured him it wouldn’t take long, so he finally agreed. ‎ At 5:30, I was at my parents’ house ringing the doorbell, praying that Dad would answer the door. Dad did answer the door. I didn’t waste any time and took one step in the door and said, “Dad, I just came over to tell you that I love you. ” His face softened and he began to cry. He reached out and hugged me and said, “I love you too, son. ” Mom walked by with tears in her eyes. ‎ Two days after that visit, my dad became unconscious. I don’t know if he’ll make it. What if I had waited to tell my dad? Maybe I will never get the chance again!‎ ‎4. What problem did the author decide to solve?‎ A. His heavy office work load. B. His hardly-finished assignment. ‎ C. His disagreement with his father. D. His unpleasant family gatherings. ‎ ‎5. What does the underlined phrase “a grumpy face” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?‎ A. Soft tone. B. Bad temper. ‎ C. Good mood. D. Great doubt. ‎ ‎6. How did the father feel when the author said “I love you” to him?‎ A. Confused. B. Shocked. ‎ C. Moved. D. Indifferent. ‎ ‎7. Which sentence may be the best ending for the text?‎ A. So don’t wait to do the things that you know ought to be done. ‎ B. So don’t believe there will be a problem without a solution. ‎ C. So don’t complain when your teacher gives you assignments. ‎ D. So don’t forget to visit your family even if you are very busy. ‎ C Women may have good reason to drink coffee as much as they like. According to recent research, women who drank three or more cups of coffee a day were 30 percent less likely to have memory decline at age 65 than whose who drank one cup or less daily. And the benefit increased with age. Women over age 80 who drank three or more cups of coffee a day were about 70 percent less likely to have memory decline than those who drank one cup or less, the researchers said. ‎ Caffeinated tea had the same effect in the women, the study found, although more was needed to get the same caffeine boost. "Count roughly two cups of tea for a cup of coffee," said study leader Karen Ritchie of INSERM, the French National Institute for Health and Medical Research. ‎ But the researchers didn't find a similarly protective effect in men, although other studies have found a benefit to males. ‎ How might caffeine help ward off cognitive decline? “It is a cognitive stimulant. " said Ritchie. “It also helps to reduce levels of the protein called beta amyloid in the brain,” she said, “whose accumulation is responsible for Alzheimer's disease but which also occurs in normal aging. ”‎ Ritchie said she wasn't sure why men in the study didn't benefit from caffeine. “Our hypothesis is that either women metabolize caffeine differently than men, or there may be an interaction of the caffeine with the sex hormones,” she said. ‎ The French study confirms previous research, said William Scott, professor of medicine at the ‎ University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, who has researched caffeine's beneficial effects against Parkinson's disease, also a neurodegenerative disorder. ‎ As for caffeine only protecting women, Scott noted that just 2,800 of the 7,000 study participants were men, and the results might have differed if more men were included. ‎ A study published in February in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition looked at 676 healthy men and found that regular coffee drinkers had a lower rate of cognitive decline over a 10-year follow-up than those who didn't drink coffee. Those who drank three cups daily had the least signs of decline. ‎ Both Scott and Ritchie agreed that more study is needed. Ritchie's research will next look at the relationship between caffeine and Alzheimer's. ‎ ‎8. As it is indicated in the 1st paragraph, how does coffee influence women’s memory?‎ A. The older the woman was. the more remarkable her memory was. ‎ B. The more coffee the woman drank, the more slowly her memory declined. ‎ C. The older the woman was, the more slowly her memory declined. ‎ D. The more coffee the woman drank. the more remarkable her memory was. ‎ ‎9. According to Ritchie. Alzheimer's disease is resulted from________________. ‎ A. the lack of caffeine in the brain B. the accumulation of beta amyloid C. high level of proteins in the brain D. abnormal metabolism in normal aging ‎10. William Scott would most probably agree that caffeine helped_______________. ‎ A. reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease B. interfere with the process of cognitive decline C. balance the production of female hormones D. protect both men and women from diseases ‎11. What was the author's attitude towards the research of caffeine's beneficial effect on men?‎ A. Doubtful. B. Convinced. C. Matter-of-fact. D. Cautious. ‎ D Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens are to start a war on gray-headed flying foxes. These super bats have invaded one of Australia’s most famous public spaces. Officials have said the animals are destroying trees and have to move on. ‎ These unwanted guests at Sydney’s Royal Botanic Gardens look like tiny foxes with wings. Officials have estimated there are about 11,000 of them living in the picturesque harbor-side park. After inspecting damage to dozens of trees they now believe there are twice as many as previously ‎ thought. Branches have been breaking under the weight of these furry invaders and their droppings have been poisoning plants. ‎ Help may well be at hand, however, in the shape of the ordinary garbage bin. The gardens’ director Dr. Tim Entwistle hopes the unpleasant sounds of crashing bin lids will agitate the flying foxes and force them to move on. “The way to disturb them is to use noises, so we’ve used the loud noises made by rubbish bins in the past. You can also use speakers as long as you move the noise around, and what we’ll do is have a series of noises, at the beginning and end of the day. What we’ve found in the past is that the flying foxes leave the gardens and go somewhere else,” said Tim. ‎ The gray-headed flying fox is Australia’s largest bat. It flies around at night using its eyes and a powerful sense of smell to search for fruit and flowers. Officials at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney have said they’re optimistic the unwelcome colony can be uprooted. If and when the bats do move to other parts of the city they will of course then become someone else’s problem. ‎ ‎12. According to the passage, Why do people want to get rid of the flying foxes ?‎ A. Because the garden are important public places. ‎ B. Because they are polluting the city. ‎ C. Because many garbage bins have been damaged by them. ‎ D. Because they’re threatening the survival of trees and other plants. ‎ ‎13. In order to get rid of the flying foxes, what are people doing?‎ A. They are shooting them. ‎ B. They are using rubbish containers. ‎ C. They are shaking the trees hard. ‎ D. They are cutting some trees down. ‎ ‎14. Which of the following can replace the underlined “agitate” in Paragraph 3?‎ A. Excite B. kill C. disturb D. discourage ‎15. What does the writer imply from the last paragraph?‎ A. The bats will still stay in the gardens. ‎ B. Some area will have to deal with the bats. ‎ C. The grey-headed flying fox often eat trees D. The damage caused by the bats is serious 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ I agree with the view that stars in the entertainment business are usually overpaid. This is true whether we are considering stars of film, sport or popular music, and it often seems that the amount of money they are able to earn in a short time cannot possibly be reasonable by the amount of work they do. ‎ ‎ 16_____ They reach the very top of their profession. So the size of salary that stars expect is closely linked to the competition they have to overcome in order to reach success. They are, in effect, rare talents. ‎ ‎ 17_____ Sport stars and pop stars, for example, are soon replaced by the next younger, more energetic generation, while the good looks of most film stars quickly fade. 18_____‎ Unfortunately, professionals from other fields are paid so much less that it is hard to disagree with the statement. Teachers, nurses, laboratory researchers etc. are never listed among the best-paid professionals. 19_____ They are more important to our well-being and our future than the stars who can earn their fortunes so quickly. ‎ In conclusion, I think there may be some reasons why entertainment stars earn high salaries. 20_____ The gaps between their earnings and those of people who work less selfishly for the good of society cannot be reasonable. Such professionals should be much better appreciated and better paid. ‎ A. Things should be changed now. ‎ B. But overall I agree that they are overpaid. ‎ C. There are many people living on very limited incomes. ‎ D. Yet they make a much greater contribution to human society. ‎ E. So this short working life may be reasonable for the very high pay. ‎ F. Furthermore, the majority of stars do not hold their top position long. ‎ G. However, it is also true that only a few people can get these huge salaries.‎ 第二部分　语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ Realizing that our family cat, Misty, had disappeared was a 21 experience for me.
