Thats when I heard piano music and singing 16 above the noise of the people and the traffic. I walked a little 17 so I could find out where it was coming from. Through the crowd I saw a young lady sitting at a piano with a 18 next to her.She was singing songs about love, keeping on trying. The way she was singing 19 me a bit. I stood there watching her 20 for about fifteen minutes, thinking that it must take 21 to perform on her own in the middle of a 22 New York ferry terminal. So I stood there listening. She must have felt my 23 because she would 24 look in my direction. Having enjoyed her music for several minutes, I walked over and put some money in her carriage and she said, “Thank you.” 25 continuing my way home, I said to her, “I have been going 26 a tough time lately, but youve made me hopeful again.”“Im happy that I could help,” she replied. “Why are you so sad?”“Well, my mum told me she had got 27 from her job, and that made me sad. Im not so sure what to do .”“You see, heres the problem.” she explained. “When walking, your head was down. Dont look defeated, because 28 comes in different ways and if your head is down you might never see it. You should smile more . lift your head up.” I smiled weakly, amazed by 29 she was encouraging me. So, I asked her why she was playing the piano in the middle of a crowded place. She explained to me that she sees a lot of 30 people in the world and she tries to 31 the pain and bring more positivity by sharing 32 music. She told me that when she wasnt making music she studied 33 . So, that was how she knew some of the things she was telling me.I smiled a little 34 because I knew that she was doing a good thing. After that we parted, my heart touched and 35 by a musical soul!16.A.liftingB.risingC.soundingD.discovering17.A.fasterB.calmerC.slowerD.easier18.A.capB.reference bookC.carriageD.note19.A.informedB.comfortedC.discouragedD.cured20.A.playB.sitC.participateD.concentrate21.A.timeB.kindnessC.fortuneD.courage22.A.bigB.brillantC.modernD.crowded23.A.senseB.presenceC.pleasureD.fault24.A.rarelyB.occasionallyC.eventuallyD.carefully25.A.Instead ofB.In spite ofC.In harmony withD.On account of26.A.on B.outC.throughD.along27.A.stolenB.employedC.firedD.lost28.A.opportunityB.incidentC.musicD.friendship29.A.whoC.whenC.whatD.how30.A.negativeB.commonC.positiveD.extraordinary31.A.relieveB.infectC.devoteD.suffer32.A.lightB.motivationalC.touchingD.reliable33.A.biologyB.psychologyC.biographyD.geograhy34.A.widerB.longerC.betterD.tenser35.A.shakenB.intendedC.appreciatedD.lightened第二部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2.5分，满分50分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。AA primary school has banned Valentines Day cards because of concerns that young pupils spend too much time talking about boyfriends and girlfriends.Ashcombe Primary School in Weston-Super-Mare, Somerset, has told parents that cards declaring love can be “confusing” for children under the age of 11, who are still emotionally and socially developing.In his February newsletter, Peter Turner, the head teacher, warned that any cards found in school would be confiscated.He wrote: “We do not wish to see any Valentines Day cards in school this year. Some children and parents encourage a lot of talks about boyfriends and girlfriends.”“We believe that such ideas should wait until children are mature enough emotionally and socially to understand the commitment involved in having or being a boyfriend or girlfriend.”Mr. Turner said any families wanting to support the Valentines Day concept should send cards in the post or deliver them to home addresses by hand.His views were endorsed by Ruth Rice, 46, who has twins Harriet and Olivia, nine, at the school.She said: “Children at that age shouldnt really be thinking about Valentines Day, and they should be concentrating on their schoolwork.“They are at an age when they are easily influenced and most parents including myself are with Mr. Turner.”She added that the cards cause too much competition. If someone gets a card and another doesnt then someone will be disappointed.However, Rajeev Takyar, 40, who runs a local newsagent, and has two children Jai, 11, and Aryan, five, at the school, said he was “genuinely outraged”.He said: There are schools that have banned conkers and snowballs, and now Valentines Cards.I think banning the cards stops children from having social skills. How are they going to learn about relationships otherwise? Its ridiculous.”Alec Suttenwood, founder of the Anti-Political Correctness group, said of the ban: “Its totally ridiculous. Young children just send the cards to each other as friends and to their parents. Its just a bit of harmless fun. There is no difference between this and Mothers or Fathers Day.”36. Valentines Day cards may cause confusing among young children because _.A. they are too young to understand what love isB. teachers havent taught them how to make friendsC. children shouldnt learn about social relationshipD. students talk too much about boyfriends and girlfriends37. The underlined word “confiscated” in Paragraph 3 can probably be replaced by _.A. collectedB. destroyedC. taken awayD. burnt away38. Ruth Rice was in favor of Mr. Turners view in that _.A. children like to compare Valentines Day cardsB. children should focus their mind on their lessonsC. sending holiday cards wastes both time and moneyD. making friends had a negative influence on children39. Which statement is TRUE according to the text?A. Most of English parents want children to have funB. Children should learn how to develop social skillsC. English schools dont allow students to play gamesD. Some parents think it unreasonable to ban the cards40. What is the best title of the text?A. School bans Valentines Day cards.B. Shall we send Valentines Day cards?C. Different opinions on Valentines Day cards.D. Parents concern about Valentines Day cardsBAt Blossom End Railroad Station, 22-year-old Stanley Vine sat, waiting for his new employer. The surrounding green fields were so unlike the muddy landscape of war-torn France. After four horrible years as an army private fighting in Europe, Stanley had returned to England in February 1946. Armed now with some savings and with no prospects for a job in England, he answered a newspaper ad for farm help in Canada. Two months later he was on his way.When the old car rumbled toward the tiny station, Stanley rose to his feet, trying to make the most of his five foot, four inch frame. The farmer, Alphonse Lapine, shook his head and complained, “Youre a skinny thing.” On the way to his dairy farm, Alphonse explained that he had a wife and seven kids. “Moneys tight. Youll get room and board. Youll get up at dawn for milking, and then help me around the farm until evening milking time again. Ten dollars a week. Sundays off.” Stanley nodded. He had never been on a farm before, but he took the job. From the beginning Stanley was treated horribly by the whole family. They made fun of the way he dressed and talked. The humourless farmer frequently lost his temper, criticizing Stanley for the slightest mistake. The oldest son, 13-year-old Armand, constantly played nasty tricks on him. But the kind-hearted Stanley never responded. Stanley never became part of the Lapine family. After work, they ignored him. He spent his nights alone in a tiny bedroom. However, each evening before retiring, he lovingly cared for the farmers horses, eagerly awaiting him at the field gate. He called them his gentle giants. Early one November morning Alphonse Lapine discovered that Stanley had disappeared, after only six months as his farmhand. In fact no one in the community ever heard of him again. That is, until one evening, almost 20 years later, when Armand, opened an American sports magazine and came across a shocking headline, “Millionaire jockey, Stanley Vine, ex-British soldier and 5-time horse riding champion, began life in North America as a farmhand in Canada.”41. Stanley Vine decided to go to Canada because _.A. he wanted to escape from war-torn France B. he wanted to serve in the Canadian army C. he couldnt find a job in England D. he loved working as a farmhand42. Which of the following is True according to the passage?A. Stanley joined the French army when he was 18 years old.B. On the farm Stanley had to milk the cows 14 times a week.C. The Lapine family were rich but cruel to Stanley.D. Stanley read about the job offer in a newspaper.43. What can we infer from the passage?A. When Stanley first met his employer, he tried to impress him but failed.B. Stanley had never worked on a farm, so he made a lot of mistakes.C. Stanleys weekly salary was not enough for him to live on.D. Stanley left the farm by train, without telling anyone why he did so.44. What did Stanley like doing after work each day?A. Hitch-hiking to different towns. B. Caring for the farmers horses.C. Wandering around the farm alone. D. Preparing meals on the farm.45. Why was Armand so astonished when he read about Stanley in the magazine?A. He didnt know Stanley had been a British soldier.B. He had no idea Stanley had always been a wealthy man.C. He didnt know his father paid Stanley so little money.D. He didnt expect Stanley to become such a success.CWith petroleum reserve（石油储量）decreasing, the search is on to replace gas with a cleaner, greener alternativeThough much eco-talk has centered on biofuels from corn and soybeans, the biofuel that looks more likely lo replace petroleum comes from a most unlikely source: algaeAlgae（藻类）, like corn, soybeans, and other crops, grow via photosynthesis（光合作用）and can be processed into fuel oilHowever, they yield 30 times more energy than land crops such as soybeans, according to the USDepartment of EnergyMany algae species also can grow in saltwater and polluted waterwhile corn and soy require, arable land and fresh water that will be in short supply as the worlds population balloonsIf you replaced all the diesel（柴油）in the US with soy biodiesel, it would lake half the land mass of the U.S. to grow those soybeans, says Matt Caspari, chief executive of Aurora Biofuels, a Berkeley, Calif, based private firm that specializes in algae oil technologyOn the other hand, the Energy Department says that if algae fuel replaced all the petroleum fuel in the United States, it would requirel5,000square miles, which is a few thousand miles larger that Maryland（12,407squaree miles）, the 42nd state in land areaAnother bonus: Because algae can be grown just about anywhere in a closed space, theyre being tested at several power plants across the nation as a carbon absorberSmokestack emissions （烟囱排放物）can be pumped directly into the ponds, feeding the algae while keeping greenhouse gases out of the atmosphereAlthough processing technology for algae fuelalso known as oilgae in some environmentalist circles is improving, its still years away from reaching your local gas pump its just a question of cost, because no large-scale facilities have been built yet, Caspari says46The underlined word yield in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by _Acontrol Brequire Cproduce Dgrow47Compared with corn and soybeans, algae_Amay pollute water and soil Bcan grow in poor conditionsCprovide much less energy Dneed more special care48According to Paragraph 3, one of the advantages of algae fuel is that _Ait can be used more widely Bit is more easy to produceCit needs much less land Dit costs much less money49What do we learn about algae from Paragraph 4?AAlgae help protect the environment BPeople can grew algae anywhereCFish can get more oxygen from algae DAlgae product less waste50What does the passage mainly talk about?AEnvironmental protection BBiofuels from corn and soybeansCThe false hope of Biofuels, DA promising oil alternativeDImagine a world in which there was suddenly no emotiona world in which human beings could feel no love or happiness, no tenor or hateTry to imagine the consequences of such a transformationPeople might not be able to stay alive: knowing neither joy nor pleasure, anxiety nor fear, they would be as likely to repeat acts that hurt Item as acts that were beneficialThey could not learn: they could not benefit from experience because this emotionless world would lack rewards and punishmentsSociety would soon disappear: people would be as likely to harm one another as to provide help and supportHuman relationships would not exist: in a world without friends or enemies, there could be no marriage, affection among companions, or bonds（关系）among members of groupsSocietys economic underpinnings（支柱） would be destroyed: since earning $10 million would be no more pleasant than earning $10, there would be no incentive to workIn fact, there would be no incentives of any kind, for as we will see, incentives imply a capacity to enjoy themIn such a world, the chances that the human species would survive are next to zero, because emotions are the basic instruments of our survival and adaptationEmotions struture the world for us in important waysAs individuals, we categorize objects on the basis of our emotionsTrue, we consider the length , shape, size or texture, but an objects physical aspects are less important than what it has done or can do to us hurt us, surprise us, anger us or make us joyfulWe also use categorizations colored by emotions in our families, communities, and overall societyOut of our emotional experience with objects and events conies a social feeling of agreement that certain things and actions are good and others are bad, and we apply these categories to every aspect of our social life from what foods we eat and what clothes we wear to how we keep promises and which people our group will acceptIn fact, society uses our emotional reactions and altitudes, such as loyalty morality, pride shame, guilt, fear and greed, in order to maintain itselfIt gives high rewards to individuals who perform important tasks such as surgery, makes heroes out of individuals for unusual or dangerous achievements such as flying fighter planes in a war, and uses the legal penal（刑法的）system to make people afraid to engage in antisocial acts51Which of the following is TRUE according to the first paragraph?Apeople would not be able to tell the texture of objectsBPeople would not know what was beneficial and what was harmful to themC$ 10 million is equal to $ 10 in a world without emotionsDThere would be full of lies, arguments and violence52In can be inferred from the passage that the economic foundation of society is dependent on .Athe ability to make money Bthe capacity to workCthe stimulus to work Dthe categorizations of our emotional experiences53Emotions are significant for mans survival and adaptation because_Athey provide the means by which people view the size or shape of objectsBthey are the basis for the social feeling of agreement by which society is maintainedCthey encourage people to perform dangerous achievementsDthey produce more love than hate among people54Why are the emotional aspects of an object more important than its physical aspects?AThey help society use its members for profitBThey encourage us to perform important tasksCThey help to perfect the legal and penal systemDThey help us adapt our behaviors to the world surrounding us55What is the text mainly about?APeople could only live in a world with emotionsBPeople would always do bad things in the emotionless worldCEmotions are very important in the worldDEmotions structure the world for us in impertant ways第II卷（非选择题 共35分）第三部分：写作（共两节；满分35分）第一节: 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Many parents who welcome the idea of turning off the TV and spending more time with the family are still worried that without TV they will constantly be on call as entertainers for their children. They remember thinking up all sorts of things to do when they were kids. But their own kids seem different, less resourceful, somehow. When theres nothing to do, these parents observe regretfully, their kids seem unable to come up with any thing to do besides turning on the TV. One father, for example, says. “When I was a kid, we were always thinking up things to do, projects and games. We certainly never complained in an annoying way to our parents, I have nothing to do!” He compares this with his own children today: “Theyre simply lazy. If someone doesnt entertain them, theyll happily sit there w
