B After the examination, the doctor told my parents my sight would get worse and that I would lose my sight finally. On the way home from hospital, no one said a word. One day, would I only imagine the scenery beyond the glass rather than see it? That September, I entered middle school. Most nights I had homework that included an armful of books to read. To keep up with other children, I took great trouble to finish the task. With my nose a couple of inches from the page, I was tired easily. Whats worse, after I had read several pages on my own, the words slipped off the page into inky pools. However, then I did not have audio books and electronic devices like kids do now. Instead, Mom volunteered to read out loud. Mom worked part time, cleaned the house, cooked and spent time with Grandma. In spite of being so busy, she showed up in my room like clockwork. She put on her reading glasses. Mom always thought those glasses made her look old. To me, she looked like a teacher. In my room, Moms voice competed with the ticking of the clock. Being forced to focus on listening, I found a way to keep my marks up and compete with the other kids. When the teacher asked a question, I raised my hand with confidence. Teachers praised me for having a good memory. Reading removed my fear for my failing sight, reading also made me curious about other peoples challenges and how they managed. Though I could not use my eyes to fix on each passage, my mind lit up with every new book. True to what the doctor said, the worst came, but thanks to Mom, my sense of hearing now allows me to “see”. This was the most precious gift from a mother to her child.24. The author and his parents keep silent on their way home from hospital because_. A. what the doctor said was worrying B. the author failed in the exam C. they were exhausted D. they focused on the scenery along the road25. The author manage to raise his marks in learning by_.

Reading made the author more sensitive. C. The authors mother quitted her job to look after him. D. Reading helped the author a lot both academically and mentally.27. Which of the following could be the title of the text? A. My eyesight trouble B. A precious gift from mother C. My good hearing D. An unforgettable experience C The cold and icy land that is the Eskimos home is a dangerous one. The Eskimo once believed that to be safe from danger he had to obey taboos(禁忌). Taboos were rules that told him what he must do and must not do. The Eskimo had taboos connected with almost everything he did. He had to keep them in mind at all times. He believed that to break one would bring disaster. For the Eskimo, it was taboo to store reindeer（驯鹿） and seal (海豹) meat together. He could not even eat them on the same day. He believed the Goddess Sedna had separated the land animals from the sea animals. He thought bringing them together would cause the hunting to be bad. There were other taboos concerning animals. When a dead seal was brought into the house, the women had to stop working. They had to give its spirit a drink of water. If they did not, the spirit would be angered. It would keep other animals from being caught. When the Eskimo broken a taboo, he believed a black cloud formed around his head. He had to tell the others in the village what he had done. He thought that if he did not tell his neighbors, they would catch the black cloud. Then the whole village would have bad luck. 28. This passage mainly tells us about _.

Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory. Do you know what a “territory” is? A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims（声称）as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species (物种) are welcome. Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away. If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting（筑巢）season. So he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a birds song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away. Birds sing loudest in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs. You can see that birds have a language all their own. Most of it has to do with attracting mates and setting up territories. 32. Some scientists believe that most of the time birds singing is actually _. A. an expression of happinessB. a way of greeting C. an expression of angerD. a way of warning 33. What is a birds “territory”? A. A place where families of other species are not accepted. B. A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice. C. An area which a bird considers to be its own. D. An area for which birds fight against each other. 34. Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season? A. Because they want to invite more friends. B. Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away. C. Because they want to find outsiders around. D. Because their singing helps get rid of their fears. 35. How does the writer explain birds singing? A. By comparing birds with human beings. B. By reporting experiment results. C. By describing birds daily life. D. By telling a birds story. 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 to pick a good book It is not news that we spend more time texting（发短信）and surfing online than ever. But a recent study shows that more teenagers are reading good old-fashioned and ink-on-paper books. Reading is a good way to widen your knowledge and learn about yourself. You probably know how to find the best application programs for your phone. 36 1. Start with your interests. Reading on your own isnt like reading for school. 37 This could be ancient martial arts, readings in computers, or fashion design books. If you can name the subject, you can find books about it. 2. Find your “type” 38 Books of fiction, like novels or short-story collections, can transport you to another world or help you to imagine something beyond your own experience. Not all fiction is the same. Try some different types of fiction and see which one you prefer. Non-fiction books give you the “who”, “what”, “when” and “why” of something. They tell stories suing facts, but that doesnt mean they are dull.3. Read the “blurb(简介)” The reviews and quotes on the back and inside covers of many books are known as “blurbs”. These comments not only give you an idea of what the book is about, but also help you to pick out future books. If you find a book you really like, take a minute to read the blurb and see which authors praised the book. 39 4. 40 Your local library can provide you with a lot of great books. Explain your interests and mention any writers you like, and the librarian can point you towards books that you will like. Finally, youll probably enjoy what youre reading if you find a quiet place and make time for the book.A. Ask an expertB. Read in a quiet placeC. Do you prefer fiction or non-fiction?D. You can pick something that suits your interests.E. But do you know how to pick a book that you will really like?F. It is necessary to work out what the book is mainly about before reading.G. Often, they will have similar styles, and you might find you like books by those authors, too.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15分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A, B, C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Tina was afraid of the dark.
