Can she come over tomorrow?” Donna was a shy girl and I wanted her to make some friends to bring her out of her shell. “Sure, honey, that sounds great.” I said, thinking back to my own best friend, Lillian. We lived across the street from each other in Washington Heights, New York. We met at the age of 10, too. Like my daughter, I was shy, but Lillian drew me out. She was one of the friendliest people in school, with shiny black hair and a mile-wide smile. In senior high school, Lillian went on a trip to Florida. This was the first time we had to be away from each other for a few days. “Ill be back soon.” she told me. But three days later, Lillians sister told me that she had fallen into a river and hadnt come out any more. Soon, my family moved to New Jersey. Whenever I thought of her, tears came into my eyes.The next day Donna brought her new friend home. “Hi, Mrs. Loggia.” the little girl said. Her hair was so shiny and black and she shot me a big smile. “My name is Laura.”My daughters new friend was so much like Lillian. I was still puzzled (迷惑) when Lauras mom came to pick her up later that afternoon. I opened the door to let her in. “Judy!” she cried. “Its me, Lillians sister, from Washington Heights.” Yes, my daughters friend looked familiar. She was Lillians niece.35. The underlined words in the first paragraph “to bring her out of her shell” mean _.Ato help her walk out of her house Bto help her live happily Cto help her become smart D to help her become less shy36. Laura looked familiar to the writer because she _.Awas Lillians nieceBwas from Washington HeightsCwas as old as her daughter Dhad shiny black hair and a big smile, too 37. Why did the writer lose her best friend? Because _.Ashe moved to New JerseyBher best friend travelled to FloridaCher best friend lost her life on a tripDthey were different from each other38. “I knew we would be best friends forever.” is a sentence from the passage and should be put at the end of _AParagraph 2 BParagraph 4 CParagraph 5 D Paragraph 339. We can infer (推断) from the passage that_.ALaura helps Donna a lotBLaura and Donna are of the same ageCLaura is outgoingDJudy moved to New Jersey because of Lillians deathBWhen many people are worried that there are no more heroes in the modern era，two university students who lost their lives to rescue drowning children have shown that heroes still exist（存在） According to the Inner Mongolia Morning Post，the tragedy（悲剧） occurred on the afternoon of December 14,2002 when three school students skating on a frozen lake in Qingcheng Park in Hohhot fell through the ice into the freezing water More than 20 university students who happened to be near the spot immediately went to the rescue of the childrenTwo children were quickly rescued，but the third diedThe childs body was not found for three hours。Two of the rescuers，Liu Ye and Hao Longbiao，also died of cold and exhaustion（筋疲力尽） The body of Hao who took the lead in jumping into the lake was not found until the next day A student who was unwilling to tell his name said he and his classmates from the local college were taking photos at the lake When they heard the childrens cries for help， they went to the ice hole hand in hand to rescue the children But the ice kept breaking， causing most of them to fall into the icy water Local residents held mourning ceremonies（祭奠仪式） at the lake Eight of the students were seriously affected by the freezing water and were being kept in hospital for further observation， but their lives were no longer in danger 40. The underlined word “occurred” here means“” Ahappened Bguided Cmixed D employed41 When the three students fell into water， the university students were Ahaving a picnic Bwalking along the lake Cskating on the ice Dtaking photos at the lake42. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？ AThree students died on the same day in all BThe university students didnt think it dangerous to save the drowning children in the lake CHao Longbiaos body was found on December 14,2002DLocal residents were not brave in face of danger 43. It can be inferred that A people think little of the two university students death Bsome students regretted for what they had doneCheroes dont agree with the steps of modern times Dthe ice on the lake wasnt strong enough to skate onCProverbs (谚语) are quite common in spoken English. We dont normally put them in a composition or a letter. Sometimes it is helpful if you know what common proverbs mean. Here are a few examples.1)“Once bitten, twice shy.” If a dog bites me, I shall be twice as careful in future when I see it. This proverb is also used to apply to many things and not only to dogs. If you have been cheated at a shop, you will not go the same shop again.2) “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.” If I am a hunter, trying to catch birds, it is better to catch one than to see two birds in a bush but not able to catch them. Thus this means that what you have already got is better than the chance of being able to get something bigger in future.3) “Too many cooks spoil the broth (soup)”. When too many people do something, they get in each others way and do a bad job.4) “To pour oil on troubled waters” is to try to calm things down. Oil is lighter than water. If a ship is in trouble at sea, another ship may come to help it. The second ship can send small boats to rescue people. However, it may first pour oil on the sea to make the sea less rough.5) “Dont be a dog in a manger( 槽 )”means“ Dont be selfish.” In a stable ( 马房 ), the manger is the place where the horses food is put. Sometimes a dog will sleep in the manger and bark when a horse comes to get its food. The dog does want to eat the hay in the manger but it will not let the horse eat it.6) “He is sitting on the fence” means that somebody will not say whether he is in favor of a plan or against it. He is sitting on a fence between two opposing sides, perhaps waiting to see which side will win.7) “He who pays the piper calls the tune.” A piper is a musician. The man who employs or pays a musician can say what tunes the man will play. Thus this means that if a man provides the money for a plan, he can say how it will be carried out.8) “You cant get blood out of a stone” means that you cannot get something from a person who has not got any of the things you want. e. g. you cannot get a million dollars from a poor man. 44. Peter has a bicycle which is much too small for him but he does not want to let his younger brother ride on it. His mother is angry and says to him: _. A. The early bird gets the worm B. To pour oil on troubled waters C. You cant get blood out of a stone D. Dont be a dog in a manger 45. Mr. and Mrs. Smith had a quarrel. Their friend, Mr. Brown, want to talk to them. When he came back, he told his wife that he had been trying to help the Smiths by _.A. pouring oil on troubled waters B. being a dog in a mangerC. getting blood out of a stone D. sitting on the fence46. Mr. Wang paid for a new school. Some people didnt like the design of the school but they didnt argue with Mr. Wang because _. A. he was sitting on the fence B. a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush C. he who pays the piper calls the tune D. once bitten, twice shy47. Mrs. Lin wanted to buy a new dress. Her husband suggested that she buy it from a shop near their home. Mrs. Lin disagreed because she had been cheated by that shop. So she said :“I wont go there again because _.”A. too many cooks spoil the brothB. once bitten, twice shyC. I am sitting on the fenceD. a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。（E涂AB, F涂AC, G涂AD）As many as one in five US teenagers have some degree of hearing loss, according to researchers. 48 The study compared surveys from the early 1990s and the mid-2000s. 49 In the first survey, about 15 percent of teenagers had some degree of hearing loss. Some 15 years later, that number had risen by a third, to nearly 20 percent. “This certainly is big news,” said Ms. Grimes, an ear doctor. “Hearing loss is very common in old people. 50 .” In babies and young children, hearing problems are known to slow language development. The science is less clear for teenagers, but it is easy to imagine how being hard of hearing could influence learning, said Grimes. 51 In order to figure it out, researchers asked teenagers about noise exposureon the job, at school or from activities. The teenagers didnt report any change. But Grimes said it might not be true. “We knew from before that it is difficult to ask this age group about noise exposurethey underestimate (低估) it.” Few people would call it noise when they listen to music on their MP3 player, for example. 52 . Although its not clear that the MP3 players cause teenagers hearing loss, it is still a good idea to turn down the sound and take short breaks from listening.A. Each included a few thousand teenagers.B. Only a few young people have hearing problems.C. And unfortunately the problem is growing.D. The reasons for the rise are still unclear.E. Teenagers who suffer from hearing loss can feel it hard at school.F. But it was worrying to see it happen in the younger age group.G. Because there is a difference between what they think is loud and what is harmful to the ear.第四部分 语法填空（每小题1分，满分10分）注意：将答案写在答题卷上，写在本试卷上无效。阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（不多于3个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。Agent: What is the 53 with you, madam?
