A

       Bobby was sitting out in his back yard in the snow. The thin sneakers he wore had a few holes in them. Try as he might, he could not come up with an idea for his mother’s Christmas gift.

       Ever since his father had passed away three years ago, his mother worked nights at the hospital, but the small wage could only be stretched so far.

       What the family lacked in money and material things, they more than made up for in love and family unity. They ran the household in their mother’s absence. All three of his sisters had already made beautiful gifts for their mother.

       It was Christmas Eve already, and he had nothing. Bobby started to walk down to the street. He walked from shop to shop. Everything seemed so beautiful and so out of reach. It was starting to get dark, then suddenly his eyes caught a shiny dime. Never has anyone felt so wealthy as Bobby did at that moment.

       He went inside a flower shop. When the owner asked if he could help him, Bobby presented the dime and asked if he could buy one flower. The shop owner looked at Bobby, then said, “You just wait here and I’ll see what I can do for you.”

       The shop owner returned holding red roses all tied together with a big silver bow. Bobby’s heart sank as the owner placed them gently into a long white box. “That will be ten cents, young man,” said the shop owner, reaching out his hand for the dime. Slowly, Bobby moved his hand to give the man his dime.

       Then the shopkeeper’s wife appeared. “Where are the roses you were fixing?”

       The shop owner replied, “A strange thing happened to me this morning. I thought I heard a voice telling me to set aside a dozen of my best roses for a special gift. I wasn’t sure at the time whether I had lost my mind or what, but I set them aside anyway. When I saw that little boy tonight, I knew who that voice was.”

56. According to the first three paragraphs we know that _____.

       A. Bobby’s sisters didn’t help Bobby to buy a gift

       B. Bobby had known what gift he’d give to his mother

       C. the children in the family all loved their mother

       D. Bobby’s family was rich before his father died

57. Why did Bobby walk along the street?

       A. Because he didn’t know what to do.

       B. Because he wanted to try his luck there.

       C. Because he wanted to get some money.

       D. Because he hoped to see what he could get.

58. What could he buy with a dime then?

       A. A flower.           B. Nothing.          C. A piece of cake.      D. Many flowers.

59. Bobby slowly gave the dime to the shop owner because _______.

       A. he did not want any rose flowers       B. the flowers weren’t worth a dime

       C. the shop owner would cheat him       D. he hardly believed what had happened

60. From the last two paragraphs we can infer that the shop owner ______.

       C. didn’t know how to run a business    D. was good at making up stories

B

Many people have heard stories of the California gold rush during the 19^th century, when lots of people went there in search for gold. Panning (淘洗) for gold has a rich and interesting history. Nowadays some people continue to pan for gold in California. Although it cannot be regarded as a method for earning income, taking on gold-panning as a hobby can give you a feeling of being in the old west and get you out into nature.

The only tool that is required to pan for gold is a gold pan. You can use a regular old flat pan, but “officially” gold pans are quite cheap so you may as well buy one that is made for the task. Most sold pans come in either plastic or medal.

Once you have your pan you will want to start practicing your gold panning technique. Panning for gold works because gold is much heavier than most rocks. To pan for gold you add rock and dirt form the bottom of a stream to your pan and then gently let water flow through the pan. The lighter-weight rocks are slowly swept away while any gold will be left behind in the pan.

To start panning for gold, first you will need to find a good location. Try checking maps of your area and old history books to find location where there were gold mines in the past. Even though most of the gold have already been removed, there are likely to be small leftovers that you can find. Once you have found an area that looks promising, look for any small stream or river where you can try out panning for gold.

Panning for gold requires patience and it may be a long time before you hit anything of value. However, it is an enjoyable hobby and provides a great opportunity to get outdoors, so don’t give up too quickly.

61. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

       A. Where to pan for gold.                       B. How gold-panning works.

       C. What tools are needed.                            D. A promising area for panning.

62. What is the author’s attitude toward modern gold-planning?

       A. Opposed.                                            B. Indifferent (漠不关心的).    

C. Positive.                                             D. Neutral (中立的).

63. In which part of a newspaper would you probably find this article?

       A. Lifestyle.         B. Health.                   C. Travel.                    D. Sports.

       Researchers found that walking around with a forced smile and fake (假的) happiness simply leads to people feeling unhappier. So, putting a brave face on your sadness could be harmful. The research also found that women suffered more than men when pretending to be happy.

       Dr. Brent Scott, who led the study, said employers should take note because forcing workers to smile when dealing with the public can result in bad outcomes. He said, “Smiling for the sake of smiling can lead to emotional tiredness, and that’s bad for the organization.” He also said the research showed customer-service workers who had “fake smiles” throughout the day fell into a bad mood and didn’t want to work, so their productivity dropped.

       The study is one of the first of its kind to examine emotional expressions over a period of time and compare the different effects on men and women. Dr. Scott’s team examined the effects of “surface acting”, or fake smiling, compared to “deep acting”, or making people smile by thinking of peasant memories.

       Dr. Scott said, “Women were harmed more by surface acting, meaning their moods worsened even more than men’s. However, they were helped more by deep acting, which means their moods improved more by thinking of pleasant memories. ”

       According to Dr. Scott, women tend to suffer more when pretending to be happy because they are expected to be more emotionally expressive than men. Therefore, forcing a smile while feeling down is more likely to go against their normal behavior and cause more harmful feelings.

       Although deep acting can improve moods a little in the short term, Dr. Scott says, it’s not a long-term solution to feeling unhappy. “There have been some suggestions that if you do this over a long period you start to feel unreal. You’re trying to develop positive emotions, but at the end of the day you may not feel like yourself any more.”

68. According to the passage, Dr. Scott’s study ______.

       A. is supported by some big employers in the USA

       B. is meaningful as there haven’t been many similar ones

       C. examined more women than men for a long time

       D. aimed to make the employees more productive

69. Women suffer more from fake happiness mainly because ______.

       A. they usually turn up shy in public places

       B. they should be more emotionally expressive

       C. they are often treated in a terrible way

       D. they like thinking of pleasant memories

70. It is implied in the passage that deep acting _____.

       A. doesn’t have any effect on men        B. cannot improve our moods in any case

       C. harms our feelings in the long run     D. pleases people by feeling like another person

71. What is the best title for the passage?

       A. Fake smiling makes people unhappy. B. Women shouldn’t be forced to smile.

       C. An important suggestion for workers.       D. Why people don’t want to work.

E

Several years ago, I had a huge falling out with one of my best friends. So huge, in fact, that now I can’t even remember what happened.

In the past nine years, I’ve seen her twice, and each time we’ve been polite but distant. And that troubles me because we were once inseparable. I’d like nothing more than to go back nine years, and continue our friendship. But how? How do you reconnect with friends you’ve lost throughout the years?

Linking to your past

The desire to reconnect with lost friends isn’t unusual. Why? Because friends link us to the past. “Friends from years ago are custodians (监护人) of our past,” says Sandy Sheehy.

Although you can share information about your past with friends you’ve met recently, you don’t have a shared history with them. So you wind up only telling them about your past, rather than sharing it with them.

But many people never try to reconnect. Women especially have trouble taking the first step. Shyness or fear that the other person doesn’t want to reconnect often stops many women. And that shouldn’t be. Your friends probably want to be in touch with you as much as you want to be in touch with them.

Searching for friends

Fortunately, finding lost friends isn’t as difficult as it once was, thanks to tools like the Internet. Our experts offer these suggestions for locating contact information:

Search Internet sites designed to locate people like classmates.com and switchboard.com.

Contact your high school or college alumni (校友) office to request current address information.

Surf online yellow pages. Check current phone records from your friend’s hometown.

Network with other friends who might have known your friend.

Get in touch with any of her relatives, if you know where they live. If you know where she works, find the company’s website and search the directory of personnel.

72. What is the subject discussed in the passage?

       A. How to make new friends.                               B. How to rebuild friendship.

       C. How to develop healthy friendship.                 D. How to keep in touch with friends.

73. The underlined sentence “friends from years ago are custodians of our past” in Paragraph 3 means _____.

       A. years ago old friends kept something for us

       B. in the past old friends took care of us

       C. old friends are part of our life history

       D. old friends know what wrongs we did

74. What makes us unwilling to reconnect old friends?

       A. Lack of money.                         B. Busy time.                    

C. Regret and shame.                                    D. Fear and shyness.

75. How can we make contact with the lost friends?

       A. By asking other friends of the information on your lost friends.

       B. By searching your friends’ telephone number on the Net.

       C. By asking the local post office about your friends’ new address.

       D. By putting an advertisement in your friends’ local town.

第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）

第一节 阅读填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）

认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡相应题号的横线上。

You probably have lists of remember and steps to follow in order to have the best pet-friendly trip. There are, however, a few things that are best left at home. Here are a few things to forget when you’re traveling with pets. Forgetting them will make your trip run more smoothly and more effectively.

Time

Traveling with pets will take longer and will have unexpected turns. In reality, forgetting about time means leaving impatience behind. Don’t be in a rush. Your pets will require more extra stops than you will, and they’ll often surprise you with unpredictable delays. Plan on leaving early and arriving later and you’ll be right on time.

Anger

Getting angry at the delay will only make matters worse. Your feelings can add unnecessary stresses to you and your pets’ travel experience. If you feel yourself becoming out of control, stop and take a deep breath. Your pets have little control over their emotions, bowel movements, or motion sickness when traveling. Remember to be kind and understanding at all times, especially when under pressure.

Work Attitude

This may seem like a no-brainer, but when you are traveling, leave your work attitude behind. Traveling is not a task to be accomplished; it can be an enjoyable and memorable experience for both you and your pets as long as you have the right attitude.

Control

Part of the joy of traveling with pets is dealing with the unexpected. You can’t control everything and trying to do so will only end in frustration (挫败) and anger. Knowing that things will happen beyond your control will bring great relief to you and your pets. Messes happen; accidents happen. Once you accept that, traveling with your pets will be far easier to manage.

Selfishness

Traveling with pets often requires an extreme amount of selflessness. Your pets rely on you to take care of their needs, and sometimes you will need to put their needs before your own. Leave your selfish ambitions behind when traveling with your pets. They need your attention and care more than anything else because of the stresses and strains of traveling.

Traveling with pets can and will be a joy if you remember to leave these five items behind. It can be difficult at times to handle, but the traveling will go well if you can manage to do so.

Traveling with pets

Benefit		You’ll have a(n)   77    and more effective trip by following the tips.
Five things to     76	Time	* Traveling with pets will take longer and have unexpected turns. * Plan on    78    early to be on time.
	Anger	* Anger will only make matters worse when you are    79   . * Your pets can   80    control themselves during the trip.

Text 6

W: Well, Bob, what a surprise! It’s nice to see you again!

M: Hello, Ann! How long has it been? Wasn’t it a year ago at Christmas, the last time I saw you?

W: I think you’re right. How are your children and wife?

M: Oh, they’re fine. Bill fell down and broke his leg a few months ago, but he’s fine now.

W: And your wife? What is she doing these days?

M: She’s going to a night school on Mondays and Thursdays.

Text 7

W: Hello.

M: Hi, Ann. This is Mark.

W: Great to hear from you, Mark! How have you been doing?

M: To tell you the truth, I’m very worried about our final exams next month. I can’t even sleep.

W: I understand. I went through the same thing last year.

M: That’s exactly why I’m calling you. Do you have any suggestions for dealing with the anxiety? You know how I hate exams!

W: Well, you should call the health services tomorrow.

M: Will that help?

W: Sure, it will.

Text 8

W: Look. Here’s a job that might interest you.

M: What is it? Are you sure? The last job interview you sent me off to was a disaster.

W: Well, look. It says they want a sales manager, and it looks like … it’s a big international company. That would be good. You might get to travel.

M: What kind of company is it, though?

W: Um, let’s see. Yes, it’s a clothing company that seems to bring in clothes from abroad. That’s unusual, isn’t it? What else? They say that the pay is really good. And oh, look! They give you a car to travel around in. gosh! That’s not bad, is it?

M: Um, do they say anything about experience?

W: Um, let’s see. No, they want someone young and energetic. Oh yes, they want a university graduate, so that’s OK… you’ve been to university. Now what else? Let’s see.

M: There must be some trick.

W: No, the only thing is that you have to travel, but then that’s what the company car’s for. You have to be able to get on well with other people because it says you have to be good on a team.

M: Um, perhaps I’ll have a closer look at that one.

Text 9

M: Are you looking forward to your trip to Canada, Susan?

W: I can’t wait to see Canada, Jason, but I’m scared badly of the journey. My husband insists on flying, but I want to sail. Planes make me nervous.

M: There’s nothing to be frightened of. How many planes fly across the Atlantic every day?

W: I’ve no idea. Hundreds, I suppose.

M: And how often do you hear of a crash? Once or twice a year?

W: Yes, but aero-plane fly so high and fast that once is enough.

M: There are more road accidents per day than air deaths per year. Air transport is really safe compared with road transport.

W: I still prefer to go by sea. Ships may not travel fast but as least you can relax. I’d love a trip on a luxury liner like the Queen Elizabeth II.

M: It’s fine if you’re a good sailor, but have you ever traveled in a rough sea?

W: No. I’ve only been in a boat once. I sailed down the River Thames on a sightseeing tour, but in any case I’d rather be sea-sick than dead.

Text 10

Last summer, I worked as a camp teacher for a group of 6^th graders. The two months I spent with them impressed me deeply. My campers came from poor families and from different schools. At the beginning of the third week, a new camper, called Mike, joined us. In his first week he was there, he would cry every morning because he wanted to go home. He complained of not having any friends. One day in the following week he didn’t come to the camp. Many of the kids came up to me and asked me where he was and if he was ill. When I told them about Mike’s feelings, some of the kids had a guilty look on their faces, because they knew they hadn’t made him feel welcome.

       Thankfully, Mike showed up the next day. As he walked over to the area where our group of kids were, the entire group stood up and clapped and cheered for him. They boy was happy in the following weeks and made friends with many kids.
