A 3-foot-long black-and-white snake twisted around his left arm and had just bitten his little finger,“The babysitter was frightened to death”said Teddys father David Lasry, who, along with his wife, Evelyn, was at work when the snake appeared about4：00 pm. The horrified babysitter called 911 and the buildings doorman. The doorman and two cable TV workers helped take the snake off the boys arm and put it in a garbage bag. Police rushed Teddy to Mount Sinai Medical Center, where he spent two hours attached to a heart monitor as a precaution in case the snake was poisonous. It wasnt. Experts at the snakebite treatment center at Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx, where policemen took the snake, found out it was a non-poisonous California king snake.But how did it end up in Teddys bed? A little detective work determined that the snake had escaped two weeks ago from its cage in the apartment of a doctor whose family lives four floors below the Lasrys. The owner said his sons pet snake likely traveled up the water pipes and into his neighbors apartment“Its a very gentle, very harmless snake, ”he said: “Its handled by our family all the time.”David Lasry believed the pet was simply hungry after two weeks of wandering. Evelyn said her son seems to have overcome his fright by thinking of himself as a hero cowboy as he rode in the back of the police car to the hospital.“I told Teddy hes a pretty snake, a nice pet snake who got out of his cage.” Evelyn said. “But he asked, Why did he bite my finger, Mamma? And I said, Because he saw that you are a big boy, Teddy, in your cowboy outfit and he got scared.”21What did the babysitter do after Teddy was bitten by a snake?AShe ran out of the apartment BShe took the snake off Teddys armCShe called the TV company DShe made an emergency call22We can learn from the passage that the snake_Awas kept in a cage by its owner Bwas poisonousCwas deserted by its owner Descaped to the apartment downstairs23Which of the following is true?ATeddy was awake when the snake arrived BThe snake had never bitten people beforeCTeddys mother was at home when the snake turned upDTeddy needed a heart machine to stay alive for two hours24Teddy probably believed he was attacked because_Ahis parents werent at home Bhe was asleepCthe snake was scared of him Dthe snake was hungryBBabysitter WantedI am seeking a babysitter for my 6-month-old son.

Being familiar with computers B. Having knowledge of winesC. Knowing more about menus D. Working well with othersCA new study suggests that the more teenagers watch television, the more likely they are to develop depression as young adults. The researchers used a national long-term survey of adolescent (青少年的) healthy to investigate(调查) the relationship between media use and depression. They based their findings on more than four thousand adolescents who were not depressed when the survey began in 2000. As part of the survey, the young people were asked how many hours of television or videos they watched daily. They were also asked how often they played computer games and listened to the radio. Media use totaled an average of five and one-half hours a day. More than two hours of that was spent watching TV.Seven years later, in 2007, more than seven percent of the young people had signs of depression. The average age at that time was twenty one. The researchers say they did not find any such relationship with the use of other media such as movies, video games or radio etc. But the study did find that every extra hour of television meant an eight percent increase in the chances of developing signs of depression. Young men were more likely than young women to develop depression given the same amount of media use. The study didnt explore if watching TV causes depression. But one possibility is that it was taking time away from activities that could help prevent depression.Last December, the journal Social Indicators Research published a study of activities that help lead to happy lives. Sociologists from the University of Maryland found that people who describe themselves as happy spend less time watching television than unhappy people. The study found that happy people are more likely to be socially active, to read, attend religious services and to vote.28. The best title for this passage should be_.A. Teens, Television and DepressionB. Men Develop Depression Easier than WomenC. Media Use is Harmful to AdolescentsD. Take Great care of Teenagers depression29. The result of the research seems to prove_.A. teenagers are more likely to develop depression than adultsB. other media uses do no harm to adolescentsC. TV probably causes teenagers to grow up with depressionD. those who watch no TV will not develop depression30. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Depression is not related to the use of other media other than TV.B. Every extra hour of media use increases the chance of depressionC. Longer use of media other than TV doesnt increase the chance of depressionD. The influence of movies, video games and radio on depression varies31. What does the writer want to tell us?A. the scientific research can prevent people from having depression.B. people are sure to benefit from watching TV less while taking activities more.C. giving up all the uses of media and this will make you become a healthy person.D. the researchers will stop the study as its too difficult to understand the relationship between media use and depressionDToday many people want adventure when they go on holiday; they want a challenge and excitement. But there are other more important elements they look for in their holiday. The main one is that they want to have a sense of achievement from their holiday. That is why growing numbers of todays holidaymakers are turning to ecotourism.Travelers who choose ecotourism can contribute to the environment rather than destroy it; and there are more and more projects to choose from. In Antigua, guests help the endangered loggerhead turtles by covering up their tracks against predators(天敌). In Boston, USA visitors work with the Museum of Science to create a Science Park. In Egypt, ecotourists join in a “Green Program” for planting trees, bushes and flowers.The most selfless ecotourism projects can be found in England. One organization offers tourists ecowork from 9: 00 a. m. to 5 : 00 p.m. and warns them that, although the work is very rewarding, it can also be demanding! Holidaymakers choose from many different types of holiday: archaeological construction (repairing and rebuilding stone walls), outdoor conservation work and so on. Those who are lucky enough to find a place on holiday are involved in productive projects, such as clearing paths, preserving plants. Sometimes the work is heavy, like cutting down weeds and rebuilding stone walls. Its rewarding, though! One visitor was challenged to provide a stream crossing, to connect pathways on both sides. After several days hard effort and determination from her and the rest of the group, there was a footbridge in place which they were able to cross. At the end of a weeks holiday, they all stood on the bridge to have their photo taken above the stream. It was a great achievement, a break from the usual 95 routine, and a big “plus” for the environment. 32. According to the writer, what do people want during their adventure?A. enjoyment B. relaxation C. protection D. achievement 33. From the third paragraph we can learn that_.A. people can be offered a job on their ecotourB. people who are offered ecowork are paid by the hourC. people feel it satisfactory and beneficial to join in ecotourism projectsD. people can find interesting ecotourism project only in England34. The underlined phrase “a big plus” means_.A. a great contribution B. great progress C. one great step D. a pleasant thing35. The following projects belong to ecotourism EXCEPT_.A. to build a little wood bridge which is convenient for touristsB. to help rebuild the damaged wallsC. to make some signs telling tourists how to protect animals and environmentD. to take a stone or a rare plant away as a reminder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。选项中有两处为多余选项。What is a big dream? 36 Or, is a big dream something that provides only entertainment? Children dream big dreams, but there are three barriers to realizing dreams. They often kill them before they ever have a chance to grow.The SelfImmediately following the birth of a big dream, a negative self-talk takes over and gives all the reasons why it cannot happen. This inside voice is the ego （自我）. Its there for protecting and should be listened to. 37 Most people are influenced by the inside voice. Thats why only a handful of people make their dream come true. 38 Family and friends are a lot like the ego. They want to protect those they love, so they will often list all the reasons why the big dreams wont come true. Sometimes, family and friends destroy dreams of those they love most, out of their own fear of being left behind.The WorldIf one gets past the first two barriers, one has to face the world. 39 . In the past, big dreamers were locked up and sometimes even killed when they were shown to the world. Fortunately, in most of the world today, big dreamers just get laughed at.The way to realize a big dream is with confidence and action. When children have confidence and then take action, they will be ready to accept any failure. The truth is that every great dreamer whose dreams have never seen the light of success knows failure well. 40 AFamily and Friends.BHow big Dreams Die.CDoes a big dream show ones future?DThey simply fail until they succeed.Eit is the last and the most terrible barrier.FSometimes it is right, but more often it is wrong.GAnd their big dream is to be a rock star or a famous artist.第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分， 满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、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。A little girl lived in a simple and poor house on a hill.
