In the classic TV production, one scene in particular impressed me: when Mrs. Darling puts her children into bed. As she turns off the last of the night light, she takes one last look at the bedroom and says, “Dear night lights, protect my sleeping children.” As a mother, I know how much she loves her children. It has been several weeks since we took our daughter to college and she seems to be adjusting well after a short period of homesickness. For us, though, its another story. Like most parents, I love checking in on my children at night. But now shes gone, and I find nighttimes the hardest. I miss her most at night.In my neighborhood, most of the parents whose kids are off to college are dealing with similar melancholy. My husband is filled with anxiety. One friend talked about getting this sick feeling in her stomach as she prepared for the college drop-off. We plained that many of us were too busy to truly enjoy being with our children while we had them. For us moms, seeing Toy Story 3 only made the sadness worse as we watched the character Andy, who is the same age as our kids, say goodbye to his childhood as he prepares to leave for college. And its not just “first-time” parents like me. Two moms who have kids already well into college said the separation didnt get any easier. “You feel like something has been taken away from inside you，” said one of them. I imagine things will get easier with time, especially as I see my daughter adjust to college life. Meanwhile, as I keep my cell phone close to me in bed and text my daughter goodnight and sweet dreams every night, I like to think at messages serve as a night light that keeps her safe.21. The writer was deeply impressed by the scene in Peter Pan because _.A. she watched the scene with her daughterB. the scene was very exciting and interestingC. the scene taught her and her daughter a good lessonD. the scene showed a mothers deep love for her children22. After her daughter went to college, the writer _.A. didnt get used to the change for a long time B. often cried as she missed her daughter so muchC. realized she hadnt done enough for her daughterD. failed to have a good sleep every night23. What is the underlined word “melancholy” in Paragraph 3 similar in meaning to?A. Happiness. B. Anger. C. Sadness. D. Excitement.24. According to the last paragraph, why did the writer keep her cell phone close to her in bed?A. To call her daughter any time.B. To wait for her daughters calls.C. To say good night to her daughter.D. To wait for her daughters messages.B Television has turned 88 years old on September 7, xx, and it has never looked better. In its youth, television was a piece of furniture with a tiny, round screen showing unclear pictures of low-budget programs. In spite of its shortings, it became popular. Between 1950 and 1963, the number of American families with a television jumped from 9% to 92% of the population.As the audience got larger, the technology got better. Television sets became more reliable through the 1960s. The reception (接收效果) improved. The picture improved. The major networks started broadcasting programs in color.Even greater improvements were ing according to Sanford Brown, who wrote an article for the Post in 1967. Surprisingly, just about every prediction he made in the article became a reality. For example: All sets in the not-distant future will be color instruments. He also predicted that TV sets would bee smaller, simpler, more reliable and less expensive and may forever put the TV repairman out of work. Smaller sets do not, of course, mean smaller screens. TV engineers expect screens to get much bigger. However, todays 3-D TV is even farther away, if its ing at all. There is some doubt whether the public would be eager to pay for it, in view of peoples cold reception given to 3-D movies. But the technology with the greatest potential, according to Brown, was cable television (有线电视), which was still in its early stages then. As he predicted, the future of cable television was highly interactive (互动的). It wasnt cable television that gave Americans their electronic connection to the world, however. It was the Internet. He even foresaw the future office: using picture phones, big-screen televisions for conferences, and puters providing information at the touch of a button.Brown ever said, “The future of television is no longer a question of what we can invent. Its a question of what we want.”25. What can we infer about television sets in the 1960s?A. They were very popular with Americans.B. The reception showed no improvement.C. They showed black-and-white pictures.D. They were out of order now and then.26. Which of the followings did Sanford Brown fail to predict?A. Televisions good quality. B. The invention of 3-D TV.C. The future offices model. D. The potential of cable TV.27. What is the text mainly about?A. The shortings of television. B. The bright future of television.C. The development of television. D. The invention of television.CYou choose to be a winner!The Winners Club is a bank account specially designed for teenagers. It has been made to help you better manage your money.

The water, it angrily argues in public, has traveled 10,000 “food miles” before it reached Western customers. Transporting water halfway across the world is surely the extremely stupid use of fuel when there is plenty of water in the UK. It is also worrying that we were wasting our fuel by buying prawns from Indonesia (7,000 food miles ) and carrots from South Africa (5,900 food miles). Counting the number of miles traveled done by a product is a strange way of trying to tell the true situation of the environmental damage due to industry. Most food is transported around the world on container ships that are extremely energy efficient. It should be noticed that a ton of butter transported 25 miles in a truck to a farmers market doesnt necessarily use less fuel on its journey than a similar product transported hundreds of miles by sea. Besides, the idea of “food miles” ignores the amount of fuel used in the production. It is possible to cut down your food miles by buying tomatoes grown in Britain rather than those grown in Ghana. The difference is that the British ones will have been raised in heated greenhouse and the Ghanaian ones in the open sun.What is the idea of “food miles” does provide, however, is the chance to cut out Third World countries from First World food markets. The number of miles traveled by our food should, as I see it, be regarded as a sign of the success of the global trade system, not a sign of damage to the environment.32. The Food mission is angry because it thinks that _. A. UK wastes a lot of money importing food products B. some imported goods causes environmental damage C. growing certain vegetables causes environmental damage D. people wasted energy buying food from other countries33. The phrase “food miles” in the passage refers to the distance _. A. that a food product travels to a market B. that a food product travels from one market to another C. between UK and other food producing countries D. between a Third World country and a First World food market34. By paring tomatoes raised in Britain and in Ghana, the author tries to explain that _. A. British tomatoes are healthier than Ghanaian ones B. Ghanaian tomatoes taste better than tomatoes ones C. cutting down food miles may not necessarily save fuel D. protecting the environment may cost a lot of money35. From the passage we know that the author is most probably _. A. a supporter of free global trade B. a member of a Food mission C. a supporter of First World food markets D. a member of an energy development group第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。What do the worlds most successful people all have in mon?By examining the work habits of over 150 greatest writers and artists and scientists, the researchers including Standford Professor Jeffrey Pfeffer found that high achievers like Robert Moses turn out to be all alike:Busy ! Busy! 36 In a study of general managers in industry, John Kotter reported that many of them worked 60 to 65 hours per weekwhich translates into at least six 10-hour days. The ability and willingness to work difficult and tiring hours has characterized many powerful figures. Energy and strength provide many advantages to those seeking to build power.Just Say No!The difference between successful people and very successful people is that very successful people say “no” to almost everything. And thats what gives them the time to acplish so much. 37 And focus means saying “no” to a lot of distractions (分神). Know What You Are!Ignore your weakness and keep improving your strengths. Dont waste time exploring skill areas where you have little petence. Instead, focus onand build onyour strengths. 38 Create Good Luck!Luck is not magicalthere is a science to it. Richard Wiseman studied lucky people for his book Luck Factor, and broke down what they do right. 39 By being more outgoing, open to new ideas, following the feeling that something is true, being optimistic, lucky people create possibilities.Does applying these principles to your life actually work? Wiseman created a “luck school” to test the ideasand it was a success. In total, 80 percent of people who attended Luck School said that their luck had increased. 40 A. Spend enough time to improve your weakness.B. Achievement requires focus.C. On average, these people reported that their luck had increased by more than 40 percent.D. They never stop working and they never lose a minute.E. Busy people are more likely to be lucky.F. This means knowing who you are, what you are and what you are good at.G. Certain personality types are luckier because they behave in a way that offers the chance for good opportunities.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，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A couple of weeks ago, I made a trip to Toronto with my granddaughter who just turned three years old.

Have you ever watched a three-year-old 58 to sip a McDonalds milkshake through a straw? It is hard enough for an adult, too.
