His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to copy him in every way he could.One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa, I try to read the book just like you, but I dont understand it, and I forget what I understand as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the book do?”The grandpa quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, “Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water.” The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandpa laughed and said, “Youll have to move a little faster next time,” and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again.This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned. Out of breath, he told his grandpa that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, so he went to get a bucket instead.The grandpa said, “I dont want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water. Youre just not trying hard enough.” The boy again dipped the basket into the river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandpa the basket was empty again. Out of breath, he said, “Grandpa, its useless!”“So, you think it is useless?” the grandpa said, “Look at the basket.” The boy looked at the basket and for the first time he realized that the basket was different. It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean.“Grandson, thats what happens when you read the book. You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read it, youll be changed, inside and out.”21.

Why did Grandpa ask his grandson to fetch a basket of water? A. To train him to run faster. B. To clean the dirty basket in the river. C. To punish him for not reading carefully. D.

You cant expect to remember whatever you read.B Eating too much fatty food, exercising too little and smoking can raise your future risk of heart disease. But there is another factor that can cause your heart problems more immediately: the air you breathe. Previous studies have linked high exposure to environmental pollution to an increased risk of heart problem, but two analyses now show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack or stroke (中风）within as little as a few hours after exposure. In one review of the research, scientists found that people exposed to high levels of pollutants (污染物）were up to 5% more likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than those with lower exposure. A separate study of stroke patients showed that even air that the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers to be of “moderate” quality and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hours of exposure. The authors of both studies stress that these risks are relatively small for healthy people and certainly modest pared with other risk factors such as smoking and high blood pressure. However, it is important to be aware of these dangers because everyone is exposed to air pollution regardless of lifestyle choices. So stricter regulation by the EPA of pollutants may not only improve environmental air quality but could also bee necessary to protect public health.24.The text mainly discusses the relationship between.Aheart problems and air qualityBheart problems and exercisingCheart problems and smokingDheart problems and fatty food25.The underlined word “modest” in Paragraph 3 most probably means.Arelatively high Bextremely lowCrelatively low Dextremely high26. What can we learn from the text?AEating fatty food has immediate effects on your heart.BThe EPA conducted many studies on air quality.CModerate air quality is more harmful than smoking,DStricter regulations on pollutants should be made.27.Theauthorspurposeofwritingthetextismostlikelyto.A.informB.persuadeC.describeD.entertainCTake Action for a Better World: Volunteers NeededSix months preparation in Denmark: Africa studies, team work bined with social work with risk group teenagers.Six months munity work in Malawi inPeople to People Projects: Child Aid, HIV/AIDS Fights and Teacher Training.Qualifications (条件)：18 years, hard-working and social engagement.Please contact us by email:takeactionbetterworldPart-time Work with Exchange StudentsYOUTH International is a non-profit high school foreign exchange student organization.

A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins Twinkle, twinkle, little star or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears. One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it. In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as Twinkle, twinkle, little star and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn. The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood. The law of overlearning explains why cramming (突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for ones future development32.

It transforms us from dumb animals into artists.Each of us bees another Michelangelo.Choice bees nothing other than the tool we use to sculpt(雕刻) our life.The tool doesnt e free，however，for the price of choice is responsibility._37_ The reward is happiness.Life is not still.It is a flow. _38_ We constantly need to monitor where we are on our journey.We need to ask questions：Am I moving closer to my goals? If not，what corrective measures can I take? What action will I take now to readjust myself to my goals? Choice is power. Choice is at the heart of life. It is the creative power of life. _39_ And your life bees more convenient or fortable because of them. For example, you decide which stores to shop at and which gas station to go to. But the decisions that we make to sculpt our life are far more important than deciding where to shop. The more we appreciate the difference between minor and major decisions, the greater the probability that we will experience happiness and fulfillment.

Life is like a chess game. _40_AIt is free will or choice.BYou have to make choices every day.CMake the best moves you can under the circumstances.DBut when we accept and carry it out, we get a great return.EEvery choice we make leads us closer to or farther from our goals.FLife is full of hard choices, and the bigger they are, the harder they get.GChoose to carry out responsibilities not because you have to, but because you want to.III. 完形填空（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题四个选项（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。In 1982, Steven Callahan was crossing the Atlantic alone in his sailboat when it struck something and sankHe got into a life boat, but his supplies were 41 His chances of surviving were small 42 when three fishermen found him 76 days later, he was alive much 43 than he was when he started, but aliveHis 44 of how he survived is fascinatingHis cleverness how he 45 to catch fish, how he evaporated（蒸发） sea water to 46 fresh wateris very interestingBut the thing that 47 my eye was how he managed to keep himself going when all hope seemed lost, and there seemed no 48 in continuing the struggleHe was starved and 49 worn-outGiving up would have seemed the only possible choiceWhen people 50 these kinds of circumstances, they do something with their minds that gives them the courage to keep goingMany people in 51 desperate circumstances 52 in or go madSomething the survivors do with their thoughts helps them find the courage to carry on 53 difficultiesI tell myself I can 54 it, wrote Callahan in his book-pared to what others have been through, Im fortunateI tell myself these things over and over, 55 up courageI wrote that down after 1 read itIt 56 me as something importantAnd Ive told myself the same thing when my own goals seemed 57 off or when my problems seemed too terribleAnd every time Ive said it, I have always e back to my 58 The truth is, our circumstances are only bad 59 to something better.

However, there can be no disagreement on the need for each of us 62 (think) carefully about the kind of friendships we want. To most of us, friendships are considered 63 (importance), but need to have clear in our own minds 64 kinds of friendships we want .Are they to be close or 65 (keep) at arms length? Do we want to share ourselves or do we want to walk on the surface? For some people, many friendships on the surface are quite enoughand thats all right .But at some point we need to make sure that our expectations are the same as our 66 (friend)expectations. If one wants more from the friendship than the other, 67 if this is not talked about, one is likely at last to fell that hes holding the short end of the stick. The sharing of personal experience 68 (include) our tears as well as our dark dreams 69 (be) the surest way to deepen friendships.

I worked hard at English and devote all my spare time to practise it. But I failed to pass the mid-term examination, which made me great disappointed. So I asked my grandpa for advice when I got to home. Hearing that I told him, he said, “To some extent, examination results are sometime unexpected by your study level. You cant judge your progress by one examination.” He encouraged myself to work hard for long time to check my results. I took my grandpas advice. Now I realize that the process of learning is much more important and my English is more better than before. From my experience, I feel that we should listen to opinion from old people.VI. 书面表达（满分25分）假如你是李华，你英国的朋友Tom给你来信说暑假就要来了，但他不知道应该在暑假期间做些什么有意义的事，希望你给予建议。请你根据以下要点给Tom回信：暑假建议：1.休息 ，补习差科； 2.结交新朋友，发现新事物等； 3.游览参观，看书等开阔眼界；注意：词数100左右（开头和结尾已经写好，不计入总词数）Dear Tom,From your letter I know that your summer vacation is ing.
