There are so many great activities for the whole family to enjoy like wildlife viewing，spaceflight tours，fishing，horseback riding，and hiking．Let your children experience the beauty of the Canadian

exhibition guide． B．A travelling brochure．‎ C．An announcement． D．An art show review．‎ B My life suffered a lot in summer five years ago．My father died in a car accident，leaving my mother，my two younger brothers and I alone．At that time，I was a senior high school student．After my father's funeral，I had no choice but to drop out of school and work in a factory．‎ I really wanted to return to school and wanted to go to college，but I couldn't．I only hoped to bring up my two young brothers．Life was not easy for me，for I couldn't afford their tuition even if I worked from day to night without stopping．Without my father's protection，I thought I was a slave to the fate．‎ Later on，something changed my life．I still remember that it was a rainy day．I put myself in the rain and walked slowly in the street．‎ Suddenly the rain stopped！I raised my head and found "the sky" was in fact a dark blue umbrella．Then I noticed a middle-aged man with one leg on crutch（拐杖） standing behind me．He said to me，"Why not run without an umbrella？If you didn't run，you would get drenched．"‎ The man told me that he was a promoter．He once dreamed of being a policeman，but an accident ruined his dream．Though his present job was not suitable for his legs，‎ it was a wonderful start to him．He was very happy that he didn't lose heart and still "ran" on the road of life…‎ I was encouraged by the man's words．I went to a big city and became an assurance representative．After two years 'running，I did well and my family condition turned better little by little．Later I returned to school and succeeded in my entrance to university．‎ Life is like this．When you are in rainy days in your life，if you couldn't find a way to prevent you from being wet，you would be overwhelmed．But if you decide to get rid of it，you'll discover that the rainy days last not so long as you imagine．‎ ‎25．What happened to the writer at the beginning of the story？ ‎ A．His father died in a car accident six years ago．‎ B．He had to drop out of school to look after his sick mother．‎ C．He couldn't afford his two brothers' tuition even if he worked from day to night．‎ D．He didn't have money to hold the funeral for his father．‎ ‎26．About the middle-aged man with one leg on crutch，which of the following is NOT true？ ‎ A．He had dreamt of being a policeman．‎ B．He was a promoter．‎ C．He lost one leg in an accident．‎ D．He had a good job which was suitable for him very well．‎ ‎27．What does the underlined word "drenched" in Paragraph 4mean？ ‎ A．wet B．dry C．nervous D．comfortable ‎28．What's the best title of the passage？ ‎ A．Run out of the Rainy Season of Your Life B．Care for the Disabled Person C．Try to Be Independent D．Get to Know More about Middle-aged People．‎ C Hair has always been an important sign of beauty，especially true for women．Next to the face，hair is one of the main qualities people look for when they consider a ‎ woman's beauty．Whether long or short，curly or straight，hair often gets a lot of attention．‎ Each hair grows independently of other hairs．Not all hairs experience the same period of growth at the same time．During the period of active growth，which is called Anagen，hair grows at a rate of about or one centimeter a month．About eighty five percent of hair follicles（毛囊） are going through this process at any given time．This period can last from two to six years．‎ The Catagen period of hair growth comes next．It is then that hair growth begins to slow down．This period usually lasts two or three weeks．Finally，hair growth comes to a complete stop and the hairs begin to fall out．This period is known as Telogen．Once the Telogen period has ended，the hair growth process begins again．‎ So what happens when a person has trouble growing hair or suffers from hair loss？Your genes control how fast or how long your hair will grow．Some people have a longer than usual anagen growth period．These people may be able to grow more hair than the average person．However，others struggle to grow shoulder length hair．These people have a shorter than normal anagen period．‎ Your health can also affect hair growth．Poor nutrition can cause some hair follicles to stop growing or cause the hairs that grow to become weak or thin．Problems with hair growth can result from thyroid problems or other conditions．Health experts say people who experience a sudden increase in hair loss should seek medical advice．‎ ‎29．How many periods of hair growth are discussed in the passage？ ‎ ‎ A．Two． B．Three． C．Four． D．Five．‎ ‎30．The Catagen period is a period that．‎ ‎ A．the hairs start to fall out B．the hairs grow at a fast rate ‎ C．hair growth stops completely D．hair growth begins to slow down ‎31．What can be learned from the passage？ ‎ ‎ A．Hair grows no more after the Telogen period．‎ ‎ B．One with shoulder length hair must grow more hair．‎ ‎ C．Hair growth has much to do with nutrition and health．‎ ‎ D．Only a few hair follicles go through the Anagen period．‎ D Today there are twenty to twenty﹣five million shopping carts rolling around the world．In fact，the shopping cart is presently one of the most often used items on four wheels，second only to the automobile．Indeed，almost everybody in America will spend a part of his or her life behind a shopping cart．They will，in a lifetime，push it many miles．But few will know﹣or even think to ask﹣who it was that invented them．‎ Mr．Sylvan N．Goldman of Oklahoma City invented the shopping cart in 1937．Mr．Goldman's invention did not make him famous．It did，however，make him very rich. When Goldman invented the cart he was in the supermarket business．Every day he would see shoppers lugging groceries around in baskets that they had to carry．One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels．The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers．And by lightening their chore，he would attract their business．Pondering the idea，Goldman walked into his office and sat down on a folding chair．Looking down at the chair，Goldman had another idea．The carts，he realized，should be made so they could be folded up．This would make it easier to store them when not in use．‎ On June 4，1937，Goldman's first batch of carts was ready for use in his market．He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers began arriving．He ‎ couldn't wait to see them using his invention．But Goldman was disappointed．Most shoppers gave the carts a long look，but hardly anybody would give them a try．After a while，Goldman decided to ask customers why they weren't using his carts．"Don't you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket？"one offended shopper replied．‎ Day after day，the same thing happened．People wouldn't use the carts．They preferred a basket on the arm to a basket on wheels．But Goldman wasn't beaten yet．He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try．To this end，Goldman tried something that was both very clever and very funny．Believe it or not，he hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping! Seeing this，the real customers gradually began copying the phony customers．‎ As Goldman had hoped，the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market．But not only did more people come﹣those who came bought more．With larger，easier﹣to﹣handle baskets，customers unconsciously bought a greater number of goods than before．‎ Today's shopping carts are five times larger than Goldman's original model．Perhaps that's one reason Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937﹣before the coming of the shopping cart．‎ ‎32．The passage is written to_______ ．‎ A．tell about the life of an inventor B．explain the power of advertising C．introduce the history of an invention D．analyze the secrets of business success ‎33．How did Goldman get customers to use the shopping cart？ ‎ A．By showing how it worked． B．By printing advertisements．‎ C．By giving a special discount． D．By describing why it was useful．‎ ‎34．What unexpected benefit did Goldman gain？ ‎ A．Goldman became famous． B．Shoppers bought more goods．‎ C．Shopping carts became larger． D．More customers came to his store．‎ ‎35．The passage suggests the following secrets of success EXCEPT ．‎ A．acting on your ideas B．believing in your work C．using your imagination D．watching your competition．‎ 第二节、七选五（共10分）‎ People who are confident really seem to be naturally outstanding and just seem to do everything with more styles than others．36 It is a habit that everyone can develop in life．Try these simple tips to drill and build up your confidence：‎ ‎ 1．Admit your shortcomings calmly．‎ ‎ Do not try to escape from them or cover them．Face them bravely．37 Fight against them every day until the day when you could break away and conquer them．‎ ‎ 2．Dress for self﹣confidence．‎ ‎ 38 And therefore pay attention to your dress，display your unique physical advantages and exhibit your best image．In addition，in formal occasions such as a business party or a wedding ceremony，elegant dressing contributes to building your confidence．‎ ‎ 3．39 ‎ You should get rid of your habit that deals with the work passively（被动的）．Concentrate your efforts immediately on overcoming it，because it will make your restless mind at ease and build yourself﹣confidence ‎ ‎ 4．Be positive．‎ ‎ Feel pity neither on yourself nor on others．If you are used to hating and blaming yourself，others would tend to do that and believe it．Instead，you should speak positively about yourself，your progress，and your bright future．40 ‎ A．Your appearance could put you into embarrassment or increase your confidence．‎ B．Then talk about them to a reliable mate，a friend or a family member．‎ C．Actually，true self﹣confidence is neither born nor acquired overnight．‎ D．Build your confident vocabulary．‎ E．By doing so，you would encourage your growth in a positive direction．‎ F．Don't put off what you eventually have to do G. Don't judge a person by appearance．‎ 三、完形填空 （共20题，30分）‎ This was my grandmother's first Christmas without grandfather，and before he passed away we had promised grandfather that we would make this her best Christmas ever．When my parents and I 41 at her house，we found she had waited up all night for us．The house did seem a little 42 without grandfather．‎ Grandfather had always said that the Christmas 43 was the most important decoration of all．So we immediately set to work on the beautiful artificial tree that was stored in grandfather's closet （壁橱）．Through our efforts，we finally stepped back to 44 our handiwork．It looked beautiful． 45 something was missing．‎ ‎“Where's your star？”I asked．‎ The star was my grandmother's favorite part of the tree．‎ ‎“Why，it 46 be here somewhere，“she said，starting to sort through the boxes again．“Your grandfather always 47 everything so carefully when he took the tree down．”‎ As we emptied the boxes and 48 no star，my grandmother's eyes filled with tears．Grandfather had given it to grandmother some fifty years ago on their first Christmas together．It brought them great happiness．Now，on her first Christmas without him，the star was 49 ，too．‎ ‎“Don't worry，Grandmother，“I 50 her．“We'll find it for you．”‎ My mother and I formed a search 51 ．“Let's start in on the closet where the ornaments （装饰品） were，“Mother said．“Maybe the star just fell out of the box． “‎ That sounded 52 ，so I began to search the closet．I thought I tried every 53 ，but no star．I could see grandmother was 54 ，although she tried not to show it．‎ ‎“What's in this wrapped box？”Mother suddenly called out．“It was at the bottom of father's closet．”Grandmother took the box in 55 and opened it．Her face 56 ‎ ‎ when she unfolded the paper and pulled out a golden star．There was a（n） 57 attached．‎ Don't be angry with me，dear．I broke your star while packing the decorations，and I couldn't 58 to tell you．Thought it was time for a new one．I hope it brings you as much 59 as the first one．Merry Christmas!‎ Love，‎ Bryant So grandmother's tree had a star after all，a star that expressed their everlasting love for one another．And we were glad we were able to make this Christmas 60 for her．‎ ‎41．A．arrived B．looked C．stayed D．worked ‎42．A．noisy B．empty C．safe D．clean ‎43．A．flower B．bell C．stocking D．tree ‎44．A．admire B．repair C．paint D．design ‎45．A．Or B．So C．But D．And ‎46．A．can B．must C．need D．will ‎47．A．packed B．decided C．covered D．searched ‎48．A．made B．left C．found D．felt ‎49．A．gone B．hidden C．broken D．forgotten ‎50．A．warned B．persuaded C．reminded D．comforted ‎51．A．game B．class C．company D．party ‎52．A．challenging B．reasonable C．pleasant D．difficult ‎53．A．suggestion B．direction C．possibility D．method ‎54．A．ashamed B．annoyed C．disappointed D．frightened ‎55．A．fear B．relief C．anger D．surprise ‎56．A．cleared B．brightened C．darkened D．tightened ‎57．A．article B．note C．receipt D．poem ‎58．A．bear B．afford C．wait D．agree ‎59．A．peace B．change C．luck D．joy ‎60．A．special B．funny C．relaxing D．favorite．‎ 四、语法填空 （共十题，15分）‎ Some buildings are known （61） their artistic beauty，some for their （62） （detail） design，and others for their architects' _____63_____(imagine)．But a London building has made headlines for none of these reasons．‎ In its short history，20Fenchurch Street has made itself _64___ （know） by reflecting（反射）sunlight （65） （ strong ） that it once melted parts of a sports car in the street below．‎ So （66） is no wonder that the building was named the UK's （67） （ bad ） building．According to the magazine，the judges （68） were architects and writers， agreed that 20Fenchurch Street （69） （design） by a Uruguayan architect should win the prize．‎ And the building's problems don’t end with reflection．Dangerous winds are also blown along the street below．A pedestrian （行人） said to the BBC that she almost got blown over when （70） （ walk ） past the heavy building．‎ 五、短文改错（10分）‎ 文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。‎ 增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号()，并在其下面写出该加的词。‎ 删除：把多余的词用(＼)划掉。修改：在错的词下画一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。‎ Boys and girls,‎ May I have your attention, please?
