第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节：（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30 分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 AMy grandmother Adele loved culture and was generous with its gifts. When I was a child, she took me to museums, restaurants, dances. She showered me with gifts from her travels around the world. But I can only remember her giving me one booka book that, to this day, I have not read. She presented me with her own favorite childhood book: Hans Brinker. My grandmother was happy to share this book with me. She even decorated the title page with her proud writing. I tried to read it. I adored reading, and would dive into a new pile of books from the library all at once. But something about Hans Brinker just wouldnt let me in. The story was set in Holland, a long time ago. It felt dull and unfamiliareven though I was a fan of classics of other times and places. I simply read the first pages over and over. I could not progress.Standing on a bookshelf in our living room, the book was like something I avoided. It scolded me for not being interested, for not trying hard enough, for disappointing my grandmother.The book started to fit in, almost forgotten, until Adele asked. Had I read it? Did I like it? Always determined, she wanted to know the answer. I would make some kind of excuse, feel bad, and open it again, hoping for a new reaction. The book weighed on me. Years passed and finally Adele and I both accepted that I would never read Hans Brinker. Eventually I cleared the book from the shelf. The Hans Brinker experience led me to set a rule that Ive lived by ever since: Do not ask about a book given as a gift. Dont ask, despite your desire to discuss it to grow closer. The desire for such connection is what gives book-giving with special meaningand increases the owners possibility to be a letdown. Guilt is basically the same as for all gifts, though. If the giver doesnt have the pleasure of seeing or hearing about the gift being enjoyed, and asks whether it is, then the ownerunless she can truthfully say “yes”either has to admit to not liking the present, or else lie on the spot. Neither is pleasant. So, dont ask.21. When the author was a kid, his grandmother _.A. took him to travel around the world a lotB. loved to take him to museums and storesC. shared her childhood stories with himD. gave him many gifts22. What does the author think about the book his grandmother gave him?A. Boring.B. Interesting.C. Puzzling.D. Disappointing.23. The underlined sentence “The book weighed on me” in Paragraph 4 probably means _.A. the book is too heavy for the author to carryB. the author feels stressed facing the bookC. the book is full of powerful viewpointsD. the author keeps reading the book 24. The author learns from the Hans Brinkers experience that never_.A. give others books as giftsB. lie to people who give you giftsC. get close to others through giftsD. ask about the books given as gifts BDeciding whether to lend money to a friend or family member is tough. On the one hand, you want to help a person you care about, but on the other hand, you wonder if it is really a good idea to lend money to this person. The two main things to remember when deciding whether or not to lend money are to think before you do it and not to lend money that you need yourself.First, realize that you dont need to feel guilty if you dont want to lend your money to anyone, even a friend or relative. If there is a reason behind the guilt, for example, they did something for you and helped you out when you needed it then you may really want to lend them money. If you have the money and want to do it, then you can do it.If you do decide that you want to lend money, be sure to write up an agreement. Whether its your sister or the best friend youve known for decades, a clear agreement signed by both parties is important. Its not a matter of trust, but a clear understanding of what is expected. The agreement should have dates and specific amounts for repayment.If you are low on money yourself, you simply may not be in the position to lend money. You really should never lend money that you need yourself. If something happens and your friend or family member cant pay back the money, youve put yourself in a dangerous position. A friend or relative that cares about you should understand that and not make you feel pressured to lend money to him or her.Many financial experts say that the only circumstance in which a person should ever lend money is that they really dont need the funds and really wont expect the money back. Otherwise the lender is at risk. You can also decide on the reason for the money. A single mom struggling between paychecks is one thing, while money needed to buy a big-screen TV is a totally different thing.25. We can learn from the passage that _. A. deciding whether to lend money to your best friend or your sister is easy B. you should feel guilty if you dont want to lend your money to a friend C. if you are low on money yourself you dont need to lend money to others D. a relative that cares about you wont understand your not lending money to them26. What may be included in an agreement according to the passage? dates for repayment specific amounts for repayment measures for not repaying signature of a judgeA. B. C. D. 27. Many financial experts advise that a person can lend others money when _. A. he doesnt need the money now and in the future B. he still expects the money back in the near future C. his friend needs his help to buy a big-screen TV D. his family members promise to pay back moreCHuman beings have a natural desire to explore the unknown. People with a strong interest in space like to say it is the last place left to explore. But scientists are warning that space exploration for long periods is not going to be easy. They say the human body is not designed to stay in space over an extended period. The New York Times recently published a report about scientists who are preparing astronauts for a trip to the Moon. The newspaper said the scientists want to make sure that their crews return home in good health. But there are many problems to be solved before people are ready for long trips to the Moon, an asteroid or even the planet Mars. Humans developed on a planet with a surface that is more than 70 percent water. Our bodies are also about 70 percent water. When there is no gravity that water moves up toward the head, raising pressure in the skull. Arms and legs grow weaker at what is called zero gravity because they no longer need to push against the force of gravity. Five years ago, astronauts who spent weeks in space reported a change in their eyesight. These astronauts were members of the crew on the International Space Station. Research showed a change in the shape of their eyes. Normally-round eyeballs had become flat during time in space. The research also showed that the right eye was affected more than the left, and that men were more affected than women. Scientists could not find an explanation for the differences. Bone loss was one of the problems first reported by astronauts returning to Earth after longer stays in space. So scientists designed exercise machines to use on the space station. Tests showed that the exercise equipment helped space travelers keep their bones almost as strong as when they left Earth. There are other health issues for astronauts who spend a long time in space. They may have problems eating and sleeping. But the biggest health issue is exposure to radiation. On Earth, human beings are protected by the atmosphere and the planets magnetic field. In outer space, there is no such protection.28. What is the main idea of the passage?A. People shouldnt explore space.B. Scientists are trying to find out how to protect astronauts.C. Space is dangerous to human beings.D. Long periods in space will affect the health of astronauts.29. What will happen to human bodies in space?A. Arms and legs grow stronger at what is called zero gravityB. Blood moves up toward the head.C. Pressure in the skull will be raised.D. All of the above30. Why did scientists design exercise machines to use on the space station?A. To make sure that their crews return home in good health.B. To help astronauts keep their bones almost as strong as when they left Earth.C. To help astronauts get ready for long trips to the Moon, an asteroid or even the planet Mars.D. To let astronauts adapt to the environment of space.31. What is true according to the passage?A. Men were more affected than women.B. Research showed a change in the size of their eyes.C. The right eye was affected less than the left.D. The biggest health issue is exposure to Sunshine.DBelittle was first used by Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States.Many years ago, a French naturalist, the Count de Buffon, wrote some books about natural history. The books were a great success even though some critics（批评家）did not like themSome critics said, “ Count Buffon is more of a poet than a scientist.”Thomas Jefferson did not like what the Count had said about the natural wonders of the New World. It seemed to Jefferson that the Count had spoken of natural wonders in America as if they were unimportant. This troubled Thomas JeffersonHe too was a naturalist, as well as a farmer, inventor, historian, writer and politician. He had seen the natural wonders of Europe. To him, they were no more important than those of the New World. In 1788, Thomas Jefferson wrote about his home state, Virginia. While writing, he thought of its natural beauty and then of the words of Count de BuffonAt that moment, Jefferson created a new word belittle. He said, “ The Count de Buffon believes that nature belittles her productions on this side of the Atlantic.”Noah Webster, the American word expert, liked this word. He put it in this English language dictionary in1806, “ Belittle to make small, unimportant. ” Americans had already accepted Jeffersons word and started to use it. In 1797, the Independent Chronicle newspaper used the word to describe a politician the paper supported. “ He is an honorable man,” the paper wrote, “ so let the opposition try to belittle him as much as they please. ”新*课*标*第*一*网In 1872, a famous American word expert decided that the time had come to kill this word. He said, “ Belittle has no chance of becoming English. And as more critical writers of America, like those of Britain, feel no need of it, the sooner it is forgotten, the better. ”This expert failed to kill the word. Today, belittle is used where the English language is spoken. 32. Why did Thomas Jefferson disagree with the Count de Buffon?A. The Count was more of a poet. B. The Count wasnt a true scientist. C. The Count was a writer from Europe. D. The Count had prejudice over the New World. 33. From the text we can know that .A. all critics thought highly of the Count de BuffonB. Thomas Jefferson didnt like naturalistsC. the word belittle came from a disagreementD. word experts can change the future of a new word34. We can infer that Jefferson created the word belittle out of his . A. anger B. excitement C. kindnessD. responsibility35. Which of the following is true of the word belittle?A. It has already disappeared. B. It was created by Count de Buffon. C. It was used to describe somebody or something made small or unimportant. D. The Independent Chronicle made it popular. 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。Although problems are a part of our lives, it certainly doesnt mean that we let them rule our lives forever.

You will 61 (probable) say that they go to learn languages, arithmetic, history, science and some other knowledge. That is quite true. But 62 do they learn these things?We send our children to school to prepare them for the time 63 they will be big and will have to work for themselves. Nearly everything they study at school has some practical use in their life. But is that 64 only reason why they go to school?There is more in education than just 65 (learn) facts. We go to school to learn how to learn, so that when we have left school we can continue to learn. A man who really knows how to learn will always be successful, 66 when he has to do something new, he will not only be able to do it well himself, but also be able to teach others how to do it 67 the best way. The 68 (educate) person, on the other hand, is either unable to do something new, or just 69 (do) it badly. The purpose of schools, therefore, is not to teach languages, arithmetic, history science, etc., 70 to teach pupils the way to learn. 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分20分）第一节：短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）假定英语课上英语老师要求同桌之间互相修改作文，请你修改你同桌的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。删除：把多余的词用斜线（）划掉。增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（），并在该词下面写出该加的词。修改：在错的词下划一横线，在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意：1、每处错误及修改均仅限一词。 2、只允许修改10处，多者（从11处起）不计分。First, Id like to thank you for your reminding, although I dont agree with your view which students should spend more time on their lessons instead of reading novels. Indeed, reading novels takes up some of the time that should spent on lessons, but itll make us to know how hard life is. Beside, by reading novels we can gain what we cant learn from our textbook. Of course, reading novels has its shortcomings. Novels that have wrong ideas will make us do something wrongly. Maybe, in your eyes, the disadvantages of reading novels outweights the advantages. And in my opinion, reading novels is just as another pair of eyes, which broadens my horizons.第二节：单词填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）1.
