She’s is a bit older than me, with a sort of shy but bright smile. She loves the outdoors and spends as much time outside as possible. In the winter, she’ll often go for walks outside. In the summer, she’ll sit in public parks playing her guitar or reading. She has the time to do these things because suffering from cancer, she is unable to work. But she is “making candles”.‎ She buys candles from a shop near her home, and then she writes some encouraging words on them, working for hours at a time in her home. She makes hundreds of these in a year. And then, she gives them away. She gifts them to her friends, and she also gives them to people who are suffering from serious diseases.‎ She loves hearing stories of how one of her candles ended up in some place far away. She told me that people who got the candles were encouraged by the words on them. Many people wrote to her or telephoned her to ask for more candles. They thanked sincerely. And my home never lacks candle light, as every few months, Rachel will invite me to take my pick among her candles.‎ ‎“ Are you sure you don’t want another one? ” she always asks, telling me to take a larger amount than my modesty (谦逊) would have allowed me. As a person and friend, Rachel is nearly always willing to listen to me. She’ll find the positive side to whatever I tell her. I’m really happy she and I got to be friends.‎ I wish actions like hers—done with such gentle and kind intentions—were more valued in society. I’m sure there are many people out there like her. Many people bring light to this world in a similar way: One candle at a time.‎ 1. Why doesn’t Rachel go to work?‎ A. Because she is too old to work.‎ B. Because she has a serious disease.‎ C. Because she loves playing outside.‎ D. Because she needs to make candles at home. ‎ ‎22. Rachel gives away candles she bought in order to____________.‎ A. offer her encouragement.

What is the author’s attitude towards Rachel?‎ A. She is concerned about her.‎ B. She worries about her.‎ C. She thinks highly of her.‎ D. She looks down upon her.‎ B ‎“Never talk to strangers.” Many children are taught this simple rule as a warning against abduction (诱拐). In June, 2005, an 11-year-old boy was lost in the Utah wilderness for four days. During that time, he stayed on the path. He saw people searching for him but deliberately hid from them, afraid someone might “steal” him. Finally, the unfortunate game of hide-and-seek ended and he was found. According to the Canada Safety Council, this alarming incident shows how unwise it is to instill (灌输) a fear of strangers in children. The “stranger danger” message can prevent children from developing the social skills and judgment needed to deal effectively with real-life situations. In a difficult situation, a stranger could be their lifeline to safety.‎ To have a child go missing is a parent’s worst nightmare. The threat of abduction by a stranger is minimal when compared with other possible reasons for a disappearance. In 2004, there were about 67,000 missing-children cases in Canada. Only 31 involved abduction; in most of those cases the abductor was a relative, friend or person known to the family. There were 671 cases of children wandering off, and 332 cases of abduction by a parent. Almost 80 percent of all cases were runaways.‎ ‎ These statistics cast doubt on the idea that children should never talk to strangers. Wandering off is more common—but a lost child may have to call on a stranger for help, and must develop the ability to judge what kind of people to turn to. The “never talk to strangers” rule does not protect children in the situations they are most likely to face. Besides, it can be confusing. Adults do not model the behavior; they often talk to strangers. A child may not know how to tell who is a stranger, and who is not.‎ For young children, nothing replaces close supervision (监管). Pre-schoolers do not understand danger and tend to act without thinking. Children need to develop habits and attitudes that will protect them from the real threats and dangers they may face. The Canada Safety Council encourages parents to give their children age-suitable positive messages about safety, not forgetting how youngsters may understand the world.‎ 25. Which of the following statements is NOT true about the 11-year-old boy?‎ A. He practiced the “never talk to strangers” rule.‎ B. He hid from the people searching for him to avoid possible abduction.‎ C. He finally showed up when his hide-and-seek game ended.‎ D. He stayed where he was, expecting the coming of familiar people.‎ 26. Among the possible reasons for the missing-children cases in Canada, which one is the most frequent?‎ A. Being abducted by a parent.‎ B. Running away.‎ C. Being abducted by strangers.‎ D. Wandering off.‎ 27. Which would the author agree with about the “never talk to strangers” rule?‎ A. It is not well recognized by parents.‎ B. It is practical as a safety tip in daily life.‎ C. It is easy enough for children to follow.‎ D. It is not effective in keeping kids safe.‎ C As cultural symbols go, the American car is quite young. The Model T Ford was built at the Piquette Plant in Michigan a century ago, with the first rolling off the assembly(装配线) on September 27, 1908. Only eleven cars were produced the next month. But eventually Henry Ford would build fifteen million of them.‎ Modern America was born on the road, behind a wheel. The car shaped some of the most lasting aspects of American culture: the roadside diner, the billboard, the motel, even the hamburger. For most of the last century, the car stood for what it meant to be American—going forward at high speed to find new worlds. The road novel, the road movie, these are the most typical American ideas, born of enough petrol, cheap cars and a never-ending interstate highway system, the largest public works project in history. ‎ In 1928 Herbert Hoover imagined an America with “a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage.” Since then, this society has moved onward, never looking back, as car changed America from a farm-based society into an industrial power.‎ The cars that drove the American Dream have helped to create a global ecological problem. In America the need for oil has grown by 22 percent since 1990.‎ The problem of excessive (过度的) energy use, climate change and population growth have been described in a book by the American writer Thomas L. Friedman. He fears the worst, but hopes for the best.‎ Friedman points out that the green economy (经济) is a chance to keep American strength. “The ability to design, build and export green technologies for producing clean water, clean air and healthy and enough food is growing to be the currency of power in the new century.”‎ 25. Why is hamburger is mentioned in paragraph 2?‎ A. To explain Americans’ love for travelling by car.‎ B. To show the effect of cars on American culture.‎ C. To stress the popularity of fast food with Americans.‎ D. To praise the effectiveness of America’s road system.‎ 26. What has the use of cars in America led to?‎ A. Decline of economy. ‎ B. Environmental problems.‎ C. A shortage of oil supply.‎ D. A farm-based society.‎ 25. What is Friedman’s attitude towards America’s future?‎ A. Indifferent. B. Doubtful. C. Hopeful. D. Worried D Human beings are the most intelligent of all animals because we are gifted with the ability to think and reason logically. Scientists and even common people with special intelligence have made a lot of inventions and contributions to modern lifestyle in the past. “Houses” have been the most popular area for discoveries and inventions in the past and even now.‎ Many household items have been the result of people who desired better functioning of the existent products. Every person has intelligence and if it is used properly for the right purpose, it leads to invention of a new tool or device. Many new household inventions are made almost every day and there are specific companies, which particularly keep a record of all these inventions.‎ A lot of inventions have been made recently in the household field. These products are patented(专利的) and have trade mark licenses(许可). The patented sliding cinch is a very simple but effective method to prevent shoulder stress and injury for those who work before computers all day long. Vanity PC is a type of computer furniture that specifically hides all the computer wires and keeps a clean and good look. All the outdoor dust, mud and snow can be kept out of the house by installing(安装) the dirt drain(排水管) at the entrance of the door. Another important invention is the automatic toilet night-light, in which a small light starts when the lid of the toilet seat is opened and closes as soon as the lid is closed.‎ These are some of the new household inventions invented mostly by common people. Thus, a variety of new household items are invented every day, which helps in a better functioning of household tasks and in a more useful way.‎ 26. The first paragraph tells us the importance of___________.‎ A. the particular changes in houses B. the advantages of modern lifestyle C. the difference between human beings and animals D. human being role in making inventions ‎32. What plays the most important role in causing people to invent new things?‎ A. To improve the present living conditions.‎ B. To earn more money and gain awards.‎ C. To be recorded by some special companies.‎ D. To meet the new demands of new science.‎ ‎33.

The passage is mainly talking about _______.‎ A. the correct use of household facilities.‎ B. household inventions and their influence.‎ C. different ideas about household inventions.‎ D. the history of household inventions.‎ 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。‎ The Meaning of Dreams Sleep and dreams have interested people for centuries. Scientists are learning more about sleep, but they still know very little about why we dream.‎ ‎35 First, we have most of our dreams during REM(rapid eye movement)sleep. At this time, the brain is very active. Second, everyone dreams, even if we can't remember doing so when we awaken. 36 While we are sleep, it works more slowly and sometimes puts our thoughts and memories together in strange ways.‎ ‎37 Some believe that our dreams are connected with thoughts and feelings that we experience while we are awake. Many dream researchers think that a dream about death, for example, is really about an important life change. 38 Dreams about a car or travel often represent (代表) feelings about your own life. Dreams about teeth—especially broken or loose ones—may indicate（预示）stress or fear. Dreams in which you are flying often represent freedom or escape.‎ Researchers think people in our dreams can tell us something about ourselves. If the person in the dream was yelling, for example, maybe you are angry. 39 ‎ There is still a lot about dreaming that wedo not understand. By learning more about our dreams, we may learn more about ourselves.‎ A. Finally, a part of our brain helps us to understand daily experience we have. ‎ B. Scientists do not know for certain why we dream. ‎ C. There are three things you should pay attention to have a sweet dream.‎ D. Modern research can tell us some important things about dreams. ‎ E.
