He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.‎ ‎ My earliest memories of my father are of a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him, as a school girl and young adult(成人的) I feared him and felt bitter about him.. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.‎ ‎ On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor café. We talked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?‎ ‎ The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was. ‎ ‎25. Why did the author feel bitter about her father as a young adult?‎ A.

The fruits that made it to the UK were green on the outside and, more often than not, hard with an unpleasant taste within. Then in 1966, the Del Monte Gold pineapple produced in Hawaii first hit our shelves.‎ ‎ The new type of pineapple looked more yellowy-gold than green. It was slightly softer on the outside and had a lot of juice inside. But the most important thing about this new type of pineapple ‎ was that it was twice as sweet as the hit-and-miss pineapples we had known. In no time, the Del Monte Gold took the market by storm, rapidly becoming the world’s best-selling pineapple variety, and delivering natural levels of sweetness in the mouth, up until then only found in tinned pineapple.‎ ‎ In nutrition (营养) it was all good news too. This nice-tasting pineapple contained four times more vitamin C(维生素C) than the old green variety. Nutritionists said that it was not only full of vitamins, but also good against some diseases. People were understandably eager to be able to buy this wonderful fruit. The new type of pineapple was selling fast, and the Del Monte Gold pineapple rapidly became a fixture in the shopping basket of the healthy eater.‎ ‎ Seeing the growing market for its winning pineapple, Del Monte tried to keep market to itself. But other fruit companies developed similar pineapples. Del Monte turned to law for help, but failed. Those companies argued successfully that Del Monte’s attempts to keep the golden pineapple for itself were just a way to knock them out the market.‎ ‎29. We learn from the text that the new type at pineapple is __________.‎ ‎ A. green outside and sweet inside ‎ B. good-looking outside and soft inside ‎ C. yellowy-gold outside and hard inside ‎ D. a little soft outside and sweet inside ‎30. Why was the new type of pineapple selling well?‎ ‎ A. It was rich in nutrition and tasted nice.‎ ‎ B. It was less sweet and good for health.‎ ‎ C. It was developed by Del Monte.‎ ‎ D. It was used as medicine.‎ ‎31. The underlined word “fixture” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to something _____.‎ ‎ A. that people enjoy eating B. that is always present ‎ C. that is difficult to get D. that people use as a gift ‎32. We learn from the last paragraph that Del Monte _________.‎ ‎ A. allowed other companies to develop pineapples ‎ B. succeeded in keeping the pineapple for itself ‎ C. tried hard to control the pineapple market ‎ D. planned to help the other companies ‎ ‎ ‎ D ‎ Edward Wilson is America’s, if not the world’s, leading naturalist. In The Future of Life, he takes us on a tour of the world’s natural resources(资源). How are they used? What has been lost? What remains and is it able to continue with the present speed of use? Wilson also points out the need to understand fully the biodiversity(生物多样性)of our earth.‎ ‎ Wilson begins with an open letter to the pioneer in environment (环境) protection, Henry David Thoreau. He compares today’s Walden Pond with that of Thoreau’s day. Wilson will use such comparisons for the rest of the book. The problem is clear: man has done great damage to his home over the years. Van the earth, with human help, be made to return to biodiversity levels that will be able to support us in the future? ‎ Biodiversity, Wilson argues, is the key to settling many problems the earth faces today. Even our agricultural crops can gain advantages from it. A mere hundred species(物种) are the basis of our food supply, of which but twenty carry the load. Wilson suggests changing this situation by looking into ten thousand species that could be made use of, which will be a way to reduce the clearing of the natural hoes of, plants and animals to enlarge farming areas.‎ At the end of the book, Wilson discusses the importance of human values in considering the environment. If you are to continue to live on the earth, you may well read and act on the ideas in this book.‎ ‎33. We learn form the text that Wilson cares most about ______‎ A. the environment for plants B. the biodiversity of our earth C. the wastes of natural resources D. the importance of human values ‎34. How many species are most important to our present food supply?‎ A. Twenty. B. Eighty. C. One hundred. D. Ten thousand.‎ ‎35. Wilson suggests that one way to keep biodiversity is to _______.‎ A. learn how to farm scientifically ‎ B. build homes for some dying species C. make it clear what to eat D. use more species for food 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。‎ ‎ How do actors and actresses memorize hundreds of lines? Memorizing lines takes practice and constant repetition．However, there are a few ways to make the memorization process run smoothly and quickly．‎ ‎　　  36.  ‎ ‎　　For most performers, there is no quicker way of memorizing lines．To learn lines, an actor must recite the play loud over and over again．Most rehearsals (彩排) encourage this by running through the lines or having a “read through”．By the time opening night arrives, most actors have spoken their lines hundreds of times．‎ ‎　　Listen to your cast members．‎ Sometimes inexperienced actors spend rehearsals looking at fellow performers, waiting patiently to say their next line． 37. This will help the actor learn his lines better because the context of the dialogue is absorbed．‎ ‎  38.   ‎ ‎　　Because there is often not enough rehearsal time, many performers find ways to listen to the play’s dialogue during everyday activities．They use a tape recorder or an MP3 player to listen to the lines from each relevant scene (剧情)．Some actors prefer to record the lines of all the characters, including their own． 39.   Others like recording the lines of fellow cast members(参演人员), and they leave a blank space so that they can insert their dialogue while listening to the recording．‎ ‎　　Think positively and don’t panic．‎ ‎　　Most actors will experience stage fright before the opening night．Actors forget lines now and then．When it happens, however, most of the time the audience never notice．If you forget a line in the middle of your performance, don’t freeze．Stay in character．Keep the scene going to the best of your ability．If unfortunately you forget a line once, you will probably never forget that line ever again．  40.  ‎ A．Record your lines．‎ B．Practice makes perfect．‎ C．Read lines loud and repeat them．‎ D．Read lines loud and remember them in a short time．‎ E．Sometimes embarrassment is the toughest method of memorization．‎ F．Then, they not only listen carefully, but they also speak all of the lines．‎ G．Instead, they should be listening carefully, responding in character at all times．‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（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，从短文后各个题所给的四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳答案 Around twenty years ago I was living in York. 41 I had a lot of experience and a Master’s degree, I could not find 42 work.‎ I was 43 a school bus to make ends meet and 44 with a friend of mine, for I had lost my flat.
