I called him several times, but each time his secretary told me that he was in a meeting and that he would call me later. So I waited and waited, but there was still no call. Three hours passing by, I became more and more impatient. I was certain that my agent didnt care about my work, and he didnt care about me. I was overe with that thought. I started to shout at the phone,“ Let me wait, will you? Who do you think you are?”At that time I didnt realize my wife was looking on. Without showing her surprise, she rushed in, seized the phone, tore off the wires, and shouted at the phone, “Yeah! Who do you think you are? Bad telephone! Bad telephone!” And she swept it into the wastebasket.I stood watching her, speechless. What on earth?She stepped to the doorway and shouted at the rest of the house, “Now hear this! All objects in this room if you do anything to upset my husband, out you go!”Then she turned to me, kissed me, and said calmly, “Honey, you just have to learn how to take control. ” With that, she left the room.After watching a crazy woman rushing in and out, shouting at everything in sight, I noticed that something in my mood had changed.

Why read an article in the newspaper，when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man，when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know?Television has not killed reading, however. Today，newspapers sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoymentAlthough some books with hard covers are expensive，many books are printed today as paperbacks，which are quite cheap.

This is a question that will puzzle many, as people rarely think of that. In the early space-travel years, astronauts ate dehydrated (脱水的) foods that were eaten through straws （吸管）. In todays space-age, the food that they eat is totally different. They eat food in the same way as people do on Earth.Astronauts are able to prepare and eat a variety of foods in space. Some can be eaten in their natural form, like fruits, while some need to add water, like noodles. However, there are no refrigerators, so the food has to be prepared and eaten without being stored for a long time. When the astronauts are hungry, they simply eat the food by opening the food packages and with a fork, knife, and spoon.Just like people on Earth, astronauts also eat three meals a day which include breakfast, lunch and dinner. Sometimes they also eat snacks. The US space agency NASA has found out that an astronauts diet reduces by about 70% on a space mission, though he has a wide range of foods to choose from like nuts, chicken, beef, seafood, and candies. Drinks in the spaceship include coffee, tea, juices, and lemonade.Astronauts can also request a particular food that they would like to have in space. Scientists are always experimenting and trying out different space foods that can be offered to astronauts when on space missions. 62. Now astronauts eat _ in space.A. dehydrated foods B. food as people do on Earth C. totally different D. food with a lot of water 63. The food the astronauts prepared _ .A. cant be stored for a long time B. is put into refrigerators C. can be stored for a long time D. cant be kept in the food packages 64. In space, astronauts _ like people on Earth. A. only have nuts, chicken and beef B. only have lunch for a dayC. only drink coffee, tea and lemonade D. also eat three meals a day 65. What is the text mainly about?A. Astronauts space life B. Astronauts space work C. Astronauts space food D.

I was so in love with its sound that I decided to learn to play it, and to make wonderful music wherever I went. It took me three weeks to get a proper sound out of the simple-looking instrument, but slowly things improved. I played it everywhere I went. Its so light to carry that Ive played it on my travels in places as far away as India and Namibia. There is no better way to make friends in a foreign country than with music. When I was in Nepal, I would throw the Xaphoon in my backpack and travel the country to places that could only be reached on foot. At each village I came to, I would find a fortable place to sit down and start playing. Within ten minutes, all the villagers would e out, adults and children. Although they had all heard bamboo flutes before, theyd never heard anything that sounded as strong as the Xaphoon. I was so impressed with Xaphoon that I even traveled to Hawaii to meet the man who invented it, and now I run my own business advertising his invention through my website. When the stresses(压力) of running business start to build up, all I have to do is to pick up my Xaphoon and begin to play. My worries disappear as the Xaphoon helps me to think about the most important things in life.76 Where did the writer first see the Xaphoon?77 Why could the writer travel with his Xaphoon easily?78 According to the writer, what is the best way to make friends in foreign countries?79 According to the last paragraph, where does the inventor of the Xaphoon live?80 What does the writer usually do when he feels worried about his business?七、书面表达（满分20分）假定你是李华，正在一所美国学校学习英文。你对学校的周末音乐俱乐部（Music Club at Weekend）很感兴趣，决定申请加入。现给该俱乐部负责人写一封信，内容如下：1.表示有意加入；2. 介绍音乐特长；3. 说明性格优势；4. 期待满意答复。注意：1. 词数120左右；2可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。3开头和结束语已为你写好，不计入总词数。答题纸第卷（非选择题，共40分）五、词汇运用 （每小题1分，满分10分）66_ 67_ 68_ 69_ 70_71_ 72_ 73_ 74_ 75_六、 阅读表达 （每小题2分，满分10分）76_77_78_79_ 80_七、书面表达（满分20分）Dear Sir/Madam,_
