Usually that first English teacher will be a young and lovely lady in primary school. But my first English teacher is no other than my father. Looking back, I can see that, when I was only a little gift, he created an English environment by providing me with flash cards, fun English-language toys and even dolls which can sing English songs! My interest in English had certainly been awakened (唤醒) when I began to learn English at school. Just imagine, he went a step further and asked me to learn New Concept English by myself. I was confused (迷惑不解的) and even angry. I could not understand why a father could be so strict with his little girl. All the same, he never gave up and he gently insisted that I follow through with his ideas. At first, I read stories with tears in my eyes and I actually hated them because they were too difficult for me. In the end, I came to love the funny stories and, to be honest, my father was always there with a helping hand. I am sure that my English would never have got so far without his support. And thats why my father is not only my first English teacher but also my lifelong teacher. He is the one who awoke my interest, who gave me confidence and who offered me much needed help.56.

It was a wonderful trip. I stayed in the city for three weeks, and I had many impressions.I had always been dreaming of seeing the Tower Bridge and the famous Big Ben clock. I visited these places, and I went on a tourist boat on the River Thames and saw two coasts. First, I went to the Tower of London, and it is really a very interesting historical place. A long time ago, it was a prison. Later it became a castle for the royal family, but later they left this place, and lived in Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace.I also enjoyed visiting the House of Parliament (议会大厦) and Westminister Abbey. They are very old and beautiful. The Abbey is built in a kind of Gothic style; it is fantastic.In London, you can also enjoy nature. There are many parks such as Regents Park, Hyde Park, Green Park, St. James Park and Holland Park.These parks are wonderful green, quiet places where you can relax and escape the noise of the city.Trafalgar Square is a popular place for students and other young people. You will find lots of pigeons there. If you have time, you can feed them and they will be very happy. You can buy special food for them, but be careful! Tons of birds are going to surround you if you feed them.Another very special place in London that I like is St. Pauls Cathedral (圣彼得大教堂) which was designed by Sir Christopher Wren.I also was impressed with the museums in London.

The pupils involved will each be given a special laptop that contains their entire curriculum. Until today, the Don Milani di Rivoli elementary school in central Turin was like any other. Children turned up, got out their books and pens and began the process of learning. But now, in whats being described as a unique experiment, 60 fifth-grade pupils and a number of third graders, will start using puters only.The mini-laptops, which run Windows software, all have a full curriculum programmed into them. The pupils will use the puters to do all their reading and writing. Security systems within the laptops mean the childrens access to the Internet is strictly controlled. The machines weigh less than a kilogram, can be dropped from a height of 1.5 metres and are waterproof. Instead of spending 700 dollars a year on books, the laptops, built by the Italian pany Olidata, cost less than 400 dollars. One of the teachers involved in the scheme says that, for the first time, schools will be able to verify in a scientific way how a puter alone can improve the learning process. The experiment, which has the backing of parents, is due to last a year. In other counties, such a programme is also being carried out. Venezuela is ordering one million low cost laptops for its school children. The machines will be based on the Intel Classmate laptop that has been designed for school children. Many see the deal as a blow for the One Laptop Per Child organization that has also been introducing its child-friendly machine to developing nations.64.

Stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out to us - believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle a friendship or family relationship. A friend of mine, recently told me that she hadn t spoken to her son in almost three years. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldnt speak to him again unless he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she said, I can t do that. Hes the one who should apologize. After a little gentle encouragement, however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own. As is usually the case, when someone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins.Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn small stuff (问题) into really big stuff in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go, and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesn t mean that you re wrong. Everything will be fine. You 11 experience the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right. You 11 also notice that, as you reach out and let others be right, they will bee less defensive and more loving toward you. They might even reach back. But, if for some reason they don t, that s okay too. You 11 have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world, and certainly youll be more peaceful yourself.68. The underlined word rekindle in Paragraph 1 probably means .A. recover B. develop C. accept D. replace69. In the author s opinion, we hold on to our anger often because we think .A. we can turn small issues into big onesB. our positions are higher than others C. our own opinions matter most D. others will be less defensive70. The best thing to do after a quarrel is to . A. let go of our own rightsB. realize that you are wrong C. expect others to give inD. apologize to others first71. What is the main idea of the passage? A. People should keep peaceful when facing small stuff. B. Reaching out and apologizing wins one peace and happiness. C. We should tell apart small and big stuff in our daily life. D. It s necessary to enjoy out friendship and family relationship.EAs people have accurately observed, smiles are absent from early photographs. In 1852, for instance, a girl sat for her Daguerrotype. her head slightly turned, giving the camera an unsmiling look. She is preserved forever as a very serious girl indeed. Charles Darwin, a loving and playful parent, looks frozen in photographs. Why did our ancestors, from unknown sitters for family portraits (肖像画) to the great and famous, because so sad in front of the camera?The severity is everywhere in Victorian photographs. However, you don t have to look very long at these unsmiling old photos to see how inplete the seemingly obvious answer is-that they are freezing their faces in order to keep still for the long exposure times. In Julia Margaret Cameron s Portrait of Tennyson, the poet dreams, his face a shadowed mask of genius. This is not simply a technique. Its an emotional choice.People in the past did not go around in a continual state of sorrow. In fact, the Victorians had a sense of humor even about the darkest aspects of their society. Laughter was not just mon in the past but accepted by society far more than it is today, from medieval carnivals （中世纪狂欢节) to Georgian print shops, where people gathered to look at the latest funnies. Far from preventing festivals and fun, the Victorians, who invented photography, also created Christmas as a celebration as it is today. So the severity of people in the 19th-century photographs cannot be the evidence of generalized sadness. This was not a society in permanent desperation. Instead, the true answer has to do with attitudes to portraiture itself.People who sat for early photographs understood it as a significant moment. Sitting for the camera was cheaper, quicker and meant that people who never had a chance to be painted could now be photographed; but people seemed to have taken it seriously in the same way they would be a painted portrait. Like a portrait painting, it was intended as a timeless record of a person.To me those unsmiling people probably had as much fun as we do, if not more. But they felt no need to prove it with pictures. Instead, when they sat for a photograph, they thought about time, death and memory. Perhaps we should stop smiling sometimes, too. 72. What do we know about the people in Victorian times? A. They laid importance on religious events. B. They were skillful at portrait painting. C. They valued their family life. D. They enjoyed themselves.73. The author mentions Portrait of Tennyson in Paragraph 2 to . A. prove a theory B. support his opinion C. introduce a painting D. describe a technique74. The author thinks early people look frozen in old photos because . A. they lived in a traditional society B. they had to stay still for a long time C. they regarded photography important D. they held negative views about painting75. What is the author s attitude towards people not smiling in old photos? A. Skeptical. B. Critical. C. Neutral. D. Positive.第四部分 写作（共3节，满分35分）第一节 单词填空（每小题1分,满分10分）。 阅读下列各句，在空白处填人适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。1. The little boy came riding full speed down the motorway on his bicycle, a dangerous scene it was!2.
