But inn her darkest hour, inspiration(灵感) struck and she found a way of turning her misfortune into advantage. Following her cancer treatment, Rebecca launched a successful business “Something Blue Bridal Shoes”- a unique range of wedding footwear, which came out of the fashion pictures she drew while recovering in her hospital bed. Rebecca, from London, says, “I started designing wedding shoes with blue soles(鞋底) when I was halfway through my cancer treatment. I had a hit when I was diagnosed with cancer, but I decided that I was going to pick myself up and fight this cancer. The pictures were my release and the way I got through the many hours spent in a hospital room. I had no idea what was going to happen to me”, but I knew I had to be positive if I was going to overcome this treatment. I told myself this was not going to be the end for me. I decided to fight with my negative(消极的) feelings and started drawing.” Rebecca had always loved fashion since she was younger. Several of her friends were getting married at the time when she was ill. “So at first, I would be drawing designs for wedding dresses and other clothes. But then I started drawing wedding footwear- designing shoes with blue soles which were very comfortable too. I thought it would be a lovely way of combining the something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue tradition. Drawing really helped me deal with my treatment,” said the brave girl. With the encouragement of her boyfriend, she turned her dreams into reality and set up “Something Blue Bridal Shoes”. Each beautiful shoe has a blue sole, combining the old-age tradition of what a bride(新娘) should wear at her wedding for good luck.5. What did Rebecca Saxon do when she was recovering in the hospital?A. Draw fashion pictures. B. Prepare for her marriage.C. Donate money to poor people. D. Found a company6. Which of the following is true about Rebecca Saxon? A. She has designed several wedding shoes for her friends. B. Drawing designs helped her fight with her negative feelings. C. Her boyfriend gave all his money to support her business. D. She started making shoes before she was diagnosed with cancer.7. Each of Rebecca Saxons shoes has a blue sole to _. A. make the shoes more colorful B. express good wishes to bride C. let the bride feel comfortable D. show her preference (偏爱) for blue8. The story of Rebecca Saxon encourages people to_. A. face difficulties bravely B. treasure what they have C. hold fast to their dreams D. help those in need selflessly COne of the greatest virtues(美德) we should try to develop is the habit of independence. A man who relies upon(依靠) himself wins a sort of independence, because he doesnt have to wait to be helped by others. To depend on others is to build on sand. Others help may disappear some day. Life to us is a great adventure, full of interest and excitement. “So happy is he”, said Cicero, “who is entirely independent, and who centers all his requirements in himself.” In our country, the lesson of independence is particularly needed. We are by nature fatalistic(宿命论的) in our attitude. Our tendency(倾向)is to depend to much on fate or others to help us and to pull our chestnut out of the fire. The tendency destroys our action. But if we are courageous and active, we may become the directors of our fate. There are many people who succeed by their own efforts(努力). If it is God who has given us strength of body and power of mind, he surely expects us to help ourselves with these. Independence is the parent of many virtues. An independent man is patient and determined. He does not feel upset at others success. Nor does he think about begging favor(恩惠) of others. He faces his misfortune with courage. Confidence in himself wins him the trust of others. Therefore, Emerson calls independence “the characteristic of heroism(英勇)” and “the first secret of success”. The history of human achievement is, indeed, a record of what people can do by themselves. Great heroes, great scientists and great businessmen were all self-made people. Independence does not mean that one should be proud of oneself. It should always go hand in hand with proper feeling of modesty(谦逊). Another fault to be guarded against(提防) is selfishness. A man should be ready to lend a helping hand to others in need.Generally, the world values us as we value ourselves. If we think poorly of our own abilities, we cannot expect others to think highly of us. The best course is to start working to our own abilities.9. What does the underlined phrase “to build on sand” probably mean?A. Not lasting B. Not successful C. Impossible D. Energy-wasting10. In the authors opinion, what should independent people avoid doing?A. Thinking properly of others abilities. B. Feeling upset at others failure.C. Acting proudly and selfishly. C. Refusing others favors.11. In the last paragraph, the author thinks we should _. A. take pride in our abilities B. feel confident in ourselvesC. center on others need D. avoid thinking highly of ourselves DMany people believe turkey must have been served at Americas first Thanksgiving dinner. But as it turns out, thats probably not true. “In the documents(文件) that we have about the meal, turkey is not written about,” says Thanksgiving expert Kathleen Wall.If not turkey, what did the Native Americans eat when they gathered to celebrate the harvest in the autumn of 1621? Other birds, such as ducks and geese, and ell(鳗鱼) were most likely on the menu. “There were a large number of ells,” says Wall. “They would have been roasted and fried.” Beans and potatoes were probably served, too. They werent grown in North America until the 1700s. So, why is turkey such a big part of Thanksgiving today? A writer named Sarah Josepha Hale is considered to be the person who spread(传播) the idea. In her 1827 novel Northwood, she described the foods that we connect with Thanksgiving. These were often eaten on the holiday in New England where Hale grew up. For many years, Hale worked hard to make Thanksgiving a national holiday. Starting in 1846, she wrote to every U.S. president about the idea. Finally, in 1863, her efforts paid off. That year, President Abraham Lincoln announced(宣布) the last Thursday in November as a national day of thanks. By then, Thanksgiving had already taken place in many states, but not always on the same date.Today, for many people, its hard to imagine Thanksgiving without turkey. Americans eat up more than 46 million turkeys on this holiday alone! The United States has a tradition of saving at least one turkey a year from becoming dinner. In 1989, President George H. W Bush became the first U.S. president to officially pardon (赦免) a turkey before Thanksgiving.12. Eels might be served at Americas first Thanksgiving dinner because _.A. they tasted like turkey very much B. there were large numbers of themC. they were recorded in the documentsD. there wasnt enough food for people13. Hale wrote letters t the presidents in order to _ A. introduce her new book to them B. make Thanksgiving a legal holidayC. save some turkeys that would be eatenD. ask for permission to celebrate Thanksgiving14. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Native Americans didnt like eating potatoes.B. Turkeys were introduced from England.C. Thanksgiving was created by Sarah Josepha.D. Americans were deeply affected by the novel Northwood.15. The passage is mainly about _.A. the history of Thanksgiving B. the achievements of a writerC. the living habit of Americans D. the activities of Thanksgiving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。 Speaking is not equal to learning1. You dont need to study grammar too much. The first suggestion may sound strange to many students who begin to learn English, but it is exactly important. 16 However, if you want to speak fluently, you should try to speak English without thinking too much of grammar. Studying grammar will only slow you down and make you hesitate. You will think about the grammar rules instead of naturally saying a sentence like a native.2. You cant translate every word. When you try to speak English, you do not have to translate every word from your mother tongue. 17 Another problem you may meet is that you will misuse grammar rules that you have learned in your mother language. 3. 18 The reason why many people can learn well is that they often practice. But in order to speak English fluently, you need to practice speaking. When you study, do not just listen. Speak out loud the material you are listening to and practice what you hear. Practice speaking out loud until your mouth and brain can do it without any effort. 19 4. You should study correct material.A phrase you often hear is, “practice makes perfect.” this is not completely true. Practice only makes what you are practicing permanent. If you practice the incorrect sentence, you will have perfected saying the sentence incorrectly. 20 A. You should try to speak fluently.B. You need to practice what you hear.C. By doing so, you will be able to speak English fluently.D. If you want to pass examination, you should study grammar well.E. If you listen more, you can speak correctly and fluently sooner or later.F. Therefore, it is important that you study material that is commonly used by most people. G. The order of words is probably completely different and you may be both slow and incorrect by doing this.第二部分 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。Many Tuesday mornings.
