So he will need _.A. a house in Wide streetB. an apartment in town centerC. an apartment in Ringing roadD. an apartment in Long road BLove oneself is important. If you dont love yourself first, how can you confidently give and receive love? Only when we fully realize who we are and accept ourselves, can we understand the love of someone else. So lets start with some questions by asking yourself. Who are you deep down inside? What are your goals, strengths, clever ideas, likes and dislikes? What do you need to control your weaknesses and improve your growth? Self-discovery can be scary, because most people consider themselves to be unimportant. They would rather bee dependent than depend on their own. Is that true in your case? Loving yourself influences your life. It influences whom you choose to fall in love with and your action in the relationship. If there is no self-esteem （自尊）, there will be no love. A person with high self-esteem is responsible for himself or herself, no matter how much love and care there is between that person and others. Such a person is not waiting to be saved and will not place unnecessary dependence on others. He or she is confident of his or her own ability, value and mind. He or she remembers that he or she is the prize. A person with high self-esteem depends on his or her own happiness, rather than looking for someone else to make him or her happy. Happiness is an inside job. When you accept this responsibility for yourself, you build self-esteem, and then you receive love.59. What is self-discovery according to the passage? a. Asking others to answer questions. b. Finding out about ones own likes and dislikes. c. Improving ones own growth. d. Finding out ones own hidden facts. A. abc B. abd C. acd D. bcd 60. Self-discovery can be scary because _. A. it is bad for ones growth B. it is difficult to answer these questions C. it can make one feel less confident D. it makes one not believe others61. What does the underlined part most probably mean? A. He or she is the most important. B. He or she has got a lot of prizes. C. He or she is always praised by others. D. He or she is always respected by others.62. What is the best title for the passage? A. Love Yourself and Build Your Self-Esteem B. Accept Your Weakness C. Love Others More Than Yourself D. Life Should Be Happy CJohn Mike is a doctor in Montreal. He works 60 hours a week. He takes care of 159 patients a week in the hospital and at his office.

The show is in Italian, English and French. The doctor starts the show with a song and then gives medical advice. He explains a medical problem or disease in simple language. After that, he sings another song. Dr. Mike produces and performs in his own show every week. The program is very popular with his patients and with people who enjoy his singing. His dream is to perform(表演) in Las Vegas. His favorite songs are love songs, and he has a pact disk of love songs that he wrote. Dr. Mike says, “I always love to sing. All my problems are gone when I sing.” But when Dr. Mike was young, his father didnt want him to be a singer, so he went to medical school.Some people tell Dr. Mike he can help people more as a doctor. But Dr. Mike says he helps people when he sings, too. “I like to make people smile. Sometimes its difficult to make a sick person smile. Medicine and entertainment(娱乐) both try to do the same thing. They try to make people feel good.” 63. Dr. Mike works 60 hours a week, because he _.A. gives his patients medical advice B. sings on televisionC. takes care of 159 patients a week D. has his own TV show 64.

Dr. Mike says he likes to _.A. make people feel betterB. help people sing C. do the same thing D. make difficult people smileDPeople often use battery to charge their phones. Batteries are rather useful in our daily life, and they can power anything from small sensors to large systems. While scientists are finding ways to make them smaller but even more powerful, problems can arise when these batteries are much larger and heavier than the devices themselves. University of Missouri(MU) researchers are developing a nuclear energy source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient.“To provide enough power, we need certain methods with high energy density(密度)”，said Joe, assistant professor of electrical and puter engineering at MU. “The radioisotope(放射性同位素) battery can provide power density that is much higher than chemical batteries.”Joe and his research team have been working on building a small nuclear battery, presently the size and thickness of a penny, intended to power various micro / nano- electromechanical (微电机的) systems (M/NEMS). Although nuclear batteries can cause concerns, Joe said they are safe.“People hear the word nuclear and think of something very dangerous,” he said, “However, nuclear power sources have already been safely powering a variety of devices, such as pace-makers(起搏器), space satellites and underwater systems.”His new idea is not only in the batterys size, but also in its semiconductor(半导体). Joes battery uses a liquid semiconductor rather than a solid semiconductor.“The key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy, part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure(晶体结构) of the solid semiconductor,” Joe said, “By using a liquid semiconductor, we believe we can minimize that problem.”Together with David, chemistry professor and associate director of the MU Research Reactor, Joe is working to build and test the battery. In the future, they hope to increase the batterys power, shrink its size and try with various other materials. Joe said that battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair.67. Joe gave examples in Paragraph 4_.A. to show chemical batteries are widely applied.B. to introduce various energy sources.C. to describe a nuclear-powered system.D. to introduce nuclear batteries can be safely used.68. Liquid semiconductor is used to _.A. reduce the damage to lattice structure.B. test the power of nuclear batteries.C. decrease the size of nuclear batteriesD. get rid of the radioactive waste69. According to Joe, his nuclear battery _.A. uses a solid semiconductorB. could be extremely thin C. will soon replace the present ones.D. has passed the final test.70. The text is most probably a _.A.book review B. science news reportC. newspaper ad D. science fiction story第II卷（45分）第一节：阅读表达阅读下面的文章，按要求完成7175题，每题2分。1The first colonists (殖民者) on Mars probably wont be humans. More likely, theyll be plants. And the prototypes (雏形) of these leafy pioneers are under development right now.2 Professor Bob Ferl is bioengineering tiny mustard (芥菜) plants. Hes not changing these plants so that they can adapt more easily to Martian conditions. Instead, hes adding reporter genes: part plant, part glowing jellyfish (水母) so that they can send messages back to Earth about how they are growing on another planet.3 The plants can glow with a ring of soft green light when they encounter problems. Within a garden grouping, some plants could report (by glowing) low oxygen levels, while others might signal low water or the wrong mix of nutrients in the soil.4 “Just like humans, plants must learn how to adapt to any new environment,” Ferl says. On Mars they would encounter extreme temperatures, low air pressure, exposure (暴露) to severe ultraviolet (紫外线) light, and generally inadequate soil.5 Learning to grow plants on Mars will be important to humans living there. Future explorers will need oxygen, food, and purified water items too costly to carry from Earth to Mars. But plants can help provide those essentials inexpensively.71. What is the passage mainly about？(within 10 words.) 72. For what purpose is Ferl adding reporter genes to mustard plants? (within 10 words.) 73. How do plants report the problems they e across? (within 10 words.) 74. List three problems plants might meet with on Mars based on the passage.(within 15 words.) 75. Why will learning to grow plants on Mars be important to humans living there? (within 12 words.) 第二节：短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号()，并在其下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用斜线划掉。修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意：1、每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；2、只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分。Stephen Hawking, one of the most famous alive scientists in the world, born in Britain in 1942. Before he graduated from Oxford, he became Professor of Physics at Cambridge. In the 1960s he was diagnosed as a terrible disease, as a result of which he cant move and speak. Therefore, in Hawkings case, it was discovered why he was brilliant. His work was in the area of cosmology and he studied black holes in the space. Since its publication, his book A brief History of Time had been a best-seller. Now, moving in a wheel chair and speak through a special puter, he has bee the voice of science.第三节：书面表达（满分25分）假如今年国庆期间，你和父母亲香港四日游，以“An Unforgettable Trip”为题，写一篇英语短文，介绍你的主要旅游经历，内容包括： 1、第一天参观海洋公园，观看海豚表演。2、附近餐馆午餐，第一次品尝海鲜。3、第二天下午海边游泳。4、第三天大型商场购物。5、第四天乘机途经广州返回。注意：1、参考词汇：海洋公园（the Ocean Park）、海豚（dolphin）、海鲜 (seafood)2、必须包括以上所有要点，可适当增加细节。 3、词数：120词左右。An Unforgettable Trip参考答案听力l5 ABCBC 610 CABCA 1115 BAACB 1620 BCBBA单选2125 BCAAD 2630 CCBAB 3135 ABCDD完形36-40 ABDCB 41-45 CBDDA 46-50 CADBC 51-55 CDDAC阅读56-58 ADC 59-62 DCAA 63-66 CBDA 67-70 DABB阅读表达71Future plants on Mars (are under development now).72So that they can send messages back to Earth.73They can glow with a ring of sof
