It was my birthday, and I was afraid what if my husband had neglected to take Mom shopping for a card? Once Mom found out it was my birthday, she would be sad that she had forgotten it and had nothing to give me. She even couldnt remember what we did two hours ago.Birthdays are not a big deal to me. I hate growing older. I dont mind if Mom forgets my birthday as long as she still remembers me. That someday she might not recognize me has been my biggest fear ever since Mom got dementia(痴呆). I cant imagine anything more terrible than being forgotten by your own mother.When Mom suffered from dementia seven years ago, I was told she did not have Alzheimers disease. I hoped that meant she would never forget her family. But as Moms dementia became worse, I realized that I had no idea whether dementia could be as bad as Alzheimers.The sleeping house was quiet except for the sound of Moms washing the bowls left last night in the kitchen. Will Mom live long enough to forget me? Will the day e when she no longer worries about remembering my birthday because she no longer knows that I exist?In the kitchen, Mom heard me go near. She hurried to the door, her face ringing with smiles. “ Happy birthday to you,” she sang.We laughed as I hugged(拥抱) her tight and both of us were very surprised that she had remembered it. Moments later, she said, “Oh, there seems to be something for you.” She gave me her card. My husband did, after all, take her shopping. The birthday-for-a-daughter card was filled with expressions of love in blue ink.36. How did the writer feel about Moms dementia? A. Helpless. B. Anger. C. Hopeful. D. Sure.37. The text mainly stresses(强调) importance of_. A. good physical health B. a happy family C. birthday gifts D. mothers love38. When the writers mother sang a birthday song to the writer, she felt_. A. sad B. satisfied C. surprised D. Pitiful BThe 20th century witnessed some of the most surprising achievements as far as the field of science and technology is concerned. Among_these,_the_Indians_account_for_a_significant share_of_the_pie.Srinivas Ramanujan (18871920)Ramanujans great mathematical findings were beginning to be appreciated from 1915 to 1919. But his achievements were to be fully understood much later, well after his death in 1920. For example, his work on highly posite numbers (高合成数) with a large number of factors started a whole new line of researches in the theory of such numbers.Meghnad Saha (18931956)Meghnad Saha belonged to an outstanding group of Indian scientists whose contributions revolutionised diverse branches of knowledge and earned global recognition. He introduced the teaching of Nuclear Physics in Calcutta University at a time when the world had not even witnessed the impact of Nuclear Energy. Together with S. N. Bose, he made the first English translation of Einsteins papers on relativity.C. V. Raman (18881970)Ramans discovery that molecules scatter light is known as the Raman effect. It is used to study the internal structure of the molecules. Early in his life Raman carried out and published extensive research on acoustics (声学) and optics (光学). He received the Nobel Prize for his wellknown Raman effect in 1930.Dr Hargobind Khorana ( 1922)Khorana shared the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology in 1968 with Marshall W. Nirenberg and Robert W. Holley for cracking (破译) the genetic code. His researches have opened up a new branch called genetic engineering in science. In 1970 he became the Alfred Sloan Professor of Biology and Chemistry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he continued his work. Apart from the Nobel Prize, Khorana has won many awards and honors for his achievement.39What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 1?AThe Indians like to make pie.BMany most surprising achievements in science and technology are made by Indians.CThe Indians receive all of most surprising achievements in science and technology.DThe Indians play a significant role in sharing the pie.40Whose contributions were NOT well received when he was alive?ASrinivas Ramanujans.BMeghnad Sahas.CC. V. Ramans. DDr Hargobind Khoranas.41Dr Hargobind Khorana mainly researched into _.Amathematics Brelativity Cgenetic code Doptics42What would be the best title for this passage?AIndian Scientific Achievements BIndian Contributions to the WorldCFamous Indian Universities in HistoryDFamous Indian Scientists in the 20th CenturyCCyberspace, the connections between puters in different places, considered as a real place where information, messages and pictures exist, mirrors the real world in many ways. People ask for information, play games, and share hobbies. Others buy and sell products. Still others look for friendship, or even love.Unlike the real world, however, your knowledge about a person is limited to words on a puter screen. Identity and appearance mean very little in cyberspace. Rather, a persons thoughtsor at least the thoughts they typeare what really count. So even the shyest person can bee a chat room star. Usually, this “faceless” munication doesnt create problems. Identity doesnt really matter when youre in a chat room discussing politics or hobbies. In fact, this emphasis(强调,重视) on the ideas themselves makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation. Where else can so many people e together to chat? But some Internet users want more than just someone to chat with. Theyre looking for serious love relationships. Is cyberspace a good place to find love? That answer depends on whom you ask. Some of these relationships actually succeed. Others fail miserably. Supporters of online relationships state that the Internet allows couples to get to know each other intellectually first. Personal appearance doesnt get in the way. But critics of online relationships argue that no one can truly know another person in cyberspace. Why? Because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how others view them. Internet users can carefully craft their words to fit whatever image they want to give. And they dont have to worry about what their “nonverbal” (非言语交际的)munication is doing for their image. In a sense, theyre not really themselves. All of this may be fine if the relationship stays in cyberspace. But not knowing a person is a big problem in a love relationship. With so many unknowns, its easy to let ones imagination “fill in the blanks.” This inevitably(不可避免地) leads to disappointment when couples meet in person. How someone imagines an online friend is often quite more different than the real person. So, before looking for love in cyberspace, remember the advice of Internet pioneer Clifford Stoll: “Life in the real world is far richer than anything youll find on a puter screen.”43. According to the passage, chatting in the cyberspace _. A.needs people to be rich in knowledge B. puts emphasis on peoples thoughtsC. allows people to discuss politics secretlyD. stresses more about peoples identity44. People who are against online love think _. A. it is hard to protect the others identityB. the faceless munication is excitingC. what is said online is under control of the InternetD. one may not show the real self in cyberspace45. By saying “With so many unknowns, its easy to let ones imagination fill in the blanks”, the writer means that _.A. the Internet makes it easy for people to imagine how others view themB. the Internet allows people to get more information about their loved ones C. people usually get to know each other by chance through the InternetD. people may be disappointed when they meet in person 46. We can infer from the last paragraph that Clifford_.A. demands to develop the puter system B. supports to look for love in the real life C. encourages people to enjoy modern lifeD. believes it hopeless to find love onlineDAlan Tong was the worst driver in town. He had an accident of some kind almost every week.Alan lived with his mother. His mother was always worried about him. Every day she worried that police would appear to arrest him. This wasnt a foolish worry because they usually visited Alans house about once a week to send a speeding ticket or to serve him notice to appear in court(法庭).Most of his accidents were caused by his carelessness. He drove through red lights. He turned left or drove at night without proper lights. He overtook other cars on hills. In short, there wasnt a traffic rule that Alan had not broken, and he had had so many accidents that it was a surprise that he was still alive. But luckily for Alan, he had never hurt anyone in his accidents or even gone to the hospital. Although Alan wasnt popular with the police, he was very popular with his lawyer. Alans lawyer, Mr.Tsui, had earned a lot of money from Alans cases and always felt very excited when he saw Alan ing into his office. One day Alan was working in the garage, painting his car when his mother walked in. “What are you doing?” his mother asked. “Painting my car,” Alan replied. “I can see that,” his mother said, “but why are you painting one side of the car red and the other side blue?” “Because every time I have to go to court for a traffic crime, there are always two witnesses (目击证人) . “What color was the car?” the judge always asks, and the two witnesses always give the same answer. Well, in the future, one witness will say it was blue. Mr. Tsui will then say to the judge, “Your honor, the witnesses cannot even agree on the color of the car involved in the accident.” And the judge will have to dismiss the case against me.47. Which of the following is true of Mr. Tsui?A. He always volunteered to help Alan. B. He was popular with the police.C. He was good friends with Alan. D. He looked forward to Alans visit.48. What was Alan doing when his mother walked in the garage? A. Painting his car all red. B. Painting his car two colors. C. Painting the garage. D. Cleaning his car.49. What is the purpose of what Alan did to his car in the last paragraph?A. To confuse the evidence against him. B. To help the judge in court.C. To make the witnesses agree. D. To leave a good impression in court.50. Whats the meaning of the underlined word “dismiss” in the last paragraph? A. Remove. B. Continue. C. Reconsider D. Accept.第二卷写作（满分35分）第一节：任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每空格只填1个单词。D. R. Gaul Middle School is in Union, Maine, a blueberry-farming town where the summer fair finds kids peting in pig scrambles and pie-eating contests.Gaul, with about 170 seventh- and eighth-graders, has its own history of lower level academic achievement. One likely reason: Education beyond the basic requirements hasnt always been a top priority for families whove worked the same land for generations. Here, few adults have college degrees, and outsiders (teachers included) are often kept at a respectful distance.Since xx, Gauls students have been divided into four classes, each of them taught almost every subject by two teachers. The goal: To find mon threads across disciplines to help students create a big picture that gives fresh meaning and context to their classwork - and sparks motivation for learning.Working within state guidelines, each team makes its individual schedules and lesson plans, incorporating non-textbook literature, hands-on lab work and field trips. If students are covering the Civil War in social studies, theyre reading The Red Badge of Courage or some other period literature in English class. In science, they study the viruses and bacteria that caused many deaths in the war.Team teaching isnt unusual. About 77 percent of middle schools now employ some form of it, says John Lounsbury, consulting editor for the National Middle School Association. But most schools use four- or five-person teams, which Gaul tried before considering two-person teams more effective. Gaul supports the team concept by looping classes (跟班) so that the same two teachers stick with the same teens through seventh and eighth grades. bining teams and looping creates an extremely strong bond between teacher and student. It also, says teacher Beth Ahlholm, allows us to build an excellent relationship with parents.Ahlholm and teammate Madelon Kelly are fully aware how many glazed looks they see in the classroom, but they know 72 percent of their eighth-graders met Maines reading standard last year - double the statewide average. Only 31 percent met the math standard, still better than the state average (21 percent). Their students also beat the state average in writing and science. And inxx, Gaul was one of 47 schools in the state to see testing gains of at least 20 percent in four of the previous five years, coinciding roughly with team teachings arrival.A Classroom With ContextProblems of theschoolBeing a farming town, it(51) little in education before.(52) education is considered less important.The munity is relatively(53) rather than open to the outsiders.Ways of solvingthe problemsThe division of classes is made and students are well(54) .Individual schedules and lesson plans are(55) by each team.A strong(56) between teacher and student is established throughbining teams and loopin
