BWhen Cherry Watson travelled on a recent flight from New York to Washington and noticed an “awful tension” in the cabin, she first thought it was caused by typical bad-tempered passengers. But as the flight neared its end, it became obvious that something was very wrong.A teenage boy with Down Syndrome (唐氏综合症) who was traveling with his family had bee upset and would not return to his seat, regardless of the cabin crews warnings over the loudspeaker that it was almost time to land. The pilot was forced to circle above the airport, delaying the landing and angering people on the already tense flight.“If it was a cartoon,” remembered Watson, “there would have been smoke ing out of peoples ears.”The boys elderly parents and adult brothers and sisters tried to persuade him to get off the floor and back into his seat, but in vain.Watson, who used to be a teacher, stood up and quickly headed to the back of the plane.She found the boy in the passage between rows of seats, lying on his belly, and lay down on her stomach to face him. She began chatting calmly with him, asking his name, his favorite book, and his favorite characters. He told her he felt sick and she tried to fort him.Minutes later, he allowed her to hold his hand, and then together they got properly back into airplane seats. Watson asked for sick bags, and held them as the boy threw up several times, including on her. As she helped him clean up, she repeatedly told him everything would be okay and that theyd get through it together.After the plane was finally able to land, no one was impatient to step off the flight as one might expect. Instead, calmed passengersobviously following Watsons amazing exampleallowed the boy and his family to depart first, smiling at them as they passed. His parents tearfully thanked Watson for what she had done, and a doctor sitting nearby also let her know he had even taken notes on her expert way of handling the situation.5.

But if they use the puter too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes(笔画) of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a puter as early as primary school. And puter dependence is more widely spread among university students. Almost all their homework and essays are typed on a puter.All the students interviewed say they usually use a puter.Its faster and easier to correct if using a puter. And thats why puters are being used more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking stock in puters increasingly, problems appear.“When Im writing with a pen, I find I often cant remember how to write a character, though I feel Im familiar with it.”“Im not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”Many students dont feel this is something to worry about. Now that its more convenient and efficient to write on a puter, why bother to handwrite?Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei, headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said, “Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic (审美的)value. But those characters typed with puter keyboards only keep their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writers feelings. Through ones handwriting, people can get to know ones thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes pulsory（必修的）and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.9The underlined expression “taking stock in” in paragraph 4 probably means.A. being crazy about B. getting bored with C. getting dependent on D. getting curious about10The students interviewed prefer to write using a puter mainly because _.A. puters have bee a trend and fashion in ChinaB. they are usually asked to e-mail their homework and essaysC. they find it not easy to remember how to write a characterD. they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and conveniently11Which of the following statement is NOT true of the advantage of handwriting?A. Handwriting contains the writers feelings.B. Handwriting can impress people well and build ones self-confidence.C. Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.D. The writers thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting12Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. The Importance of Handwriting and Typing.B. Writing by puter Will Replace Writing by Hand.C. To Type or to Handwrite.D. Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters.DThe loud noise of the cars or the sound of a plane can force its way into the deepest forest, yet its not only humans that are bothered by the noise.Bioacoustician Bernie Krause has been studying the effect of noise pollution on wildlife, and has e across some interesting behaviors, especially among animals that municate by sound, like humans. Birds use sound to municate, but in noisy places, these animals have to shout over the natural noise to be heard.Krause mentions a study of nightingales(夜莺) to explain what he means. The birds responded to（回应） traffic noise by singing louder and louder until they actually went beyond noise pollution standards in the city. To belt out (sing loudly) their songs, they increased their lung pressure fivefold, but scientists say that this is not dangerous for the birds themselves.Studies show that sudden noise can cause certain birds to leave their nests, leaving the young to their enemies. One study also showed that songbirds that nested close to busy motorways were much less productive than those that nested farther away. Mammals（哺乳动物）too are affected(影响). A recent study showed that nursing caribou（驯鹿） responded to plane noise by not producing enough milk to feed their young.In some cases noise pollution can actually help some animals while harming others. Toads（蟾蜍）and frogs are known to sing in union（同步发声）so that no predator (their enemies) can catch them. Krause found that when planes flew overhead and disturbed the toads song, they lost their union, and it took them 45 minutes to get it back again. That gave their natural enemies plenty of time to find and catch individual toads by sound.According to Kruse, “Not only will noise pollution bother wildlife, but it wont help our lives either.”13. How do young caribou suffer from aircraft noise?A. .They cant hear their mothers. B. They cant sleep at night.C. They are often displaced. D. They receive less food.14. What would happen if toads and frogs failed to sing in union?A. They would soon regain their rhythm. B. They would stop municating.C. They might not be able to protect themselves. D. They might ne unable to hunt in groups.15. What is the text mainly about?A.The ways animals municate with each other.B. The causes of noise pollution.C. Animals reaction to noises.D. The effects of noise pollution on wildlife.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。We are told that “a family that eats together stays together”. We even follow it by making the whole family sit in front of the television while eating, right? Wrong. Television does nothing to help make the family relationships better. 16 Its thus better to give the TV a break and to sit at the dinner table. Family dinners need another important partconversations that bring in a pleasant atmosphere.It often serves well to start the conversation right before dinner so that setting the table and doing other things may bee less boring. 17 As a result, there are no embarrassing moments when people are actually eating. Also, you can change the topic if you feel that it might start arguments.Children arent usually very good at sharing information and dont know how to reply when you ask them questions like “How was your school today?” 18 For this, you can ask them about the after-class activities that they might be taking part in. 19 Therefore, all controversial (有争议的) topics should not be talked about. Actually, if you have had a funny incident in your day at the work, share it with others. Whats more, it serves well if you share your childhood memories with your family. 20 In a word, it is always important to choose the right topics for the family dinner conversationsA. Try to know more about them than just their school life.B. Its often difficult to start a conversation at a family dinner.C. But try to keep in mind some family dinner conversation ideas.D. Doing things together can make family members feel interested.E. In fact, it only increases the distance between members of the family.F.

Now, another difference has drawn wide attention: the way northerners and southerners shop 42 food at markets.People from southern China normally buy what they need for just one or two meals at a time. Its normal for 43 to buy just half a Chinese cabbage, two 44 (potato) and 25 grams of beef at a time. 45 , a person may be laughed at 46 they do this in the north. Instead, buying enough vegetables and meat for a week 47 (be) normal.The difference could be because of the different climates. Food can 48 (keep) for a long time in the north, as its 49 (usual) cold and dry there. Many northerners have the habit of 50 (store) food for a long time. But due to the hot and wet weather in the south, southern Chinese people prefer to buy just enough food for one meal or one day. Otherwise, the food may go bad.Maybe these debates about different customs help us to understand each other better.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：在缺词处加一个漏子符号（）并在其下面写出该加的词。 删除：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。Dear Editor,Im the only daughter of my parents. So they worried about everything I do. For example, when I ride my bike, my parents wont let me ride by myself. They are afraid of I might fall off my bike and hurt myself.
