Unlike other gifts, it came without wrap(包装). On September 11th, 1958, Mum gave birth to Richard. After she brought him home from hospital, she put him in my lap, saying. I promised you a gift, and here it is. What an honor! I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own. I played with it day and night. I sang to it. I told it stories. I told it over and over how much I loved it!One morning, however, I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried for it. Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital. It had a fever. For several days, I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as hopeless, pitiful, and dying, which sounded ominous. Christmas was coming. Dont expect any presents this year. Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room. If your baby brother lives, thatll be Christmas enough. As he spoke, his eyes were filled with tears. Id never seen him cry before. The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it. From my bedroom I heard him say. What? Hes all right? He hung up and shouted upstairs. “The hospital said we can bring Richard home! Thank God. I heard Mum cry. 第二页 From the upstairs window, I watched my parents rush out to the car. I had never seen them happy. And I was also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home. I ran downstairs. My socks still hung there flat. But I knew they were not empty; they were filled with love!21.What happened to the author on September 11th, 1958? A.He got a baby brother. B.He got a Christmas gift.C.He became four years old. D.He received a doll. 22.What does the underlined word “ominous” in Paragraph 3 probably mean？ A.Impossible. B.Boring. C.Easy. D.Fearful 23.When Christmas was coming,the fathers feeling was _. A.Excitement. B.Happiness.C.Sadness.D.Disappointment. 24.What is the passage mainly about? A.A sad Christmas day B.Life with a lovely baby C.A special Christmas gift.D.Memories of a happy familyB Driving while talking on a hand-held mobile phone has long been considered a danger. But even drivers who use hands free devices are a nuisance because they are slowing everyone else down, according to a study. David Strayer, a psychology professor in Utah Universitys traffic lab, conducted a study involving 36 university students driving on motorways. Each used a hands free phone for half the trip but not for the other half. The students were told to obey posted speed limits and use turn signals but the rest of the driving decisions were up to them. What Strayer found is that when the drivers were distracted（使分心）by a phone conversation, they made fewer lane（车道）changes, drove slower and took longer to get where they were going. Fellow researcher Professor Peter Martin, who teaches civil and environmental engineering at Utah University, said, “Ordinarily a slower driver should be safer，but thats not the case when people are talking on a cell phone.” In general, drivers who used mobile phones while driving took three percent longer to drive along the same high-density route than drivers who didnt. When stuck behind a dawdling(磨蹭的) driver, it took them between 25 and 50 seconds longer to switch to an open lane to overtake. Those delays can add up when you consider studies that suggest as many as 10 percent of US drivers are using a cell phone at any one time. And delays in traffic streams of very small amounts can grow into massively when drivers are crossing a highway.” Our next step is to use computer models to determine just how much those delays are costing drivers in time and in extra fuel costs,” Martin said.25.What does the underlined word in the first paragraph mean?A.A person who is a volunteer. B.A person who breaks the traffic lawC.A person who causes troubleD.A person who is annoyed by others.26.Which of the following is TRUE , according to Martin?A.The more slowly a person drove, the safer he was.B.Measures should be taken to stop using mobile phones. 第三页C.Drivers using hand-held phones had less effect on traffic than those using hands free phonesD.Driving while using mobile phones could cost drivers time and money.27.The passage is mainly about .A.traffic conditions in rush hours.B.the use of mobile phones in the USAC.using hands free devices behind the wheelD.a comparison between hand-held phones and hands free ones C According to health experts, cancer will become the leading cause of death in the world by the year 2016. An agency of the World Health Organization released a report on cancer last month. Health experts predict the number of people who die from cancer will soon be greater than deaths from AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria combined. The experts say more people will die from cancer than heart disease, the leading killer now. The report says one reason for the growing deaths of cancer is more people smoking cigarettes in developing countries. The report says forty percent of the worlds smokers are believed to live in China and India. Other things are believed to have an effect. They include high fat diets , fast food meals and reduced physical activity. The WHO report about twelve million people will be found to have some forms of cancer this year. It predicts that more than seven million people will die early from the disease. And, more than five million of the new cancer cases will involve people in developing countries. The number of cancer cases and deaths from cancer is expected to increase one percent each year. Experts are predicting the largest increases will be in China, Russia and India. Without new treatments, the WHO report says, the number of the new cancer patients could increase to twenty seven million a year by 2030. The number of them who die each year from the disease could reach seventeen million. A few kinds of cancer are more common in some areas. For example, the rate of breast cancer in Japan, Singapore and Korea is now three times what it was forty years ago. Stomach cancer has become more common in some areas where food is often not stored in a cold place. Another report says the number of men and women dying from cancer has dropped in the United States. It is the first reported drop in American cancer cases and deaths since the nation began collecting such information. 28.Which of the following best shows the main idea of the passage ? A.Different kinds of cancer. B.Why cancer is such a danger?C.Cancer will become leading killer. D.Cancer throughout the world.29.From the report of WHO we can see that _ . A.smoking must be paid attention to in RussianB.today more people die from AIDS than cancerC.cancer is particularly serious in developing countriesD.cancer has become the leading killer in the whole world30.Which of the following is WRONG ? 第四页A.It is important to do more exercise.B.We must quit eating fast food at once.C.Having a healthy diet does good to usD.Smoking does great harm to peoples health31.We can infer that the passage will most possibly talk about _ afterwards . A.ways to prevent cancer spreadingB.the development of fighting cancerC.different kinds of cancer in the worldD.the details of the drop in American cancer D Welcome to our school.

Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses, here are some things to look for when deciding the training thats right for you. Focus on positives Any training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well. Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told 第五页that you arent doing well. 37 , so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldnt do. 38 If you find a public speaking course that looks as though its going to give you lots of dos and donts, walk away! Your brain is so full of what youre going to be talking about. 39 As far as were concerned, there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking. Your audience can be your friends. You are a special person not a clone Most importantly, good public speaking training should treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits. 40 Your training course should help you bring out your personality, not try to turn you into someone youre not. A. You arent like anybody else B. You already do lots of things well C. Turn your back on too many rules D. Check the rules about dos and donts E. Whatever the presentation, public speaking is tough F. The one thing you dont want is for them to fall asleep G. So trying to force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worse.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1.5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 There have been people in my life who made a big difference by doing little things.
