题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Grandma celebrated her fifty-third birthday just weeks before grandpa died of cancer in 1965. Although his passing was very difficult for her, I think their shared struggle to make his life longer taught grandma that good health was not to be taken forgranted, and she made up her mind to live the rest of her own life as fully and as long as she could. One day, when she announced to attend lessons at the Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Portland, Oregon, where she lived, we rolled our eyes in embarrassment and helplessly wished she would just stay home and bake cookies as normal grandmothers did. Many years filled with countless dance lessons passed before we learned to appreciate the wonder of having a dancing grandma.

I suppose grandma's primary motivation for wanting to learn to dance was social. She had been a shy girl, always very tall and heavy, and had married into grandpa's quiet lifestyle before developing any elegance or confidence in her personal appearance. Dancing, on the other hand, filled her life with flash lights, wonderful parties, beautiful dresses, handsome young dance instructors, and the challenge of learning. Although the weekly dance lessons did not change her ample, two-hundred-pound figure, grandma surprised everyone with energetic performances on the dance floor, which soon gave her as much elegance and confidence as any Miss American competitor.

Having taken weekly dance lessons for years, my grandma learned various dances easily and was soon participating in dancing matches all over the Northwest. When I was fourteen, grandma proudly invited me to watch her compete in one of these matches to be held in the grand ballroom of the Red Lion Inn. My attitude was still unenthusiastic at that point, but to make her happy, my mother and I attended the match. As if to prove me wrong, grandma made a wonderful showing in every event she entered. I thought she was truly the queen of the ball during the dance, and my thoughts were shared by the judges a short time later when she was awarded a gold cup for her outstanding performance.

26. What did grandma learn from grandpa's death?

A. Good health was not there for everyone.

B. She should take dance lessons.

C. She had to struggle to live a better life.

D. She should wear beautiful dresses.

27. How did the author's family feel when Grandma decided to take dance lessons?

A. Hopeless. B. Helpless. C. Embarrassed. D. Proud.

28. Normal grandmas usually ________ in the author's point of view?

B. did some exercises at home

C. took care of grandchildren at home

D. did some housework at home

29. The author felt ______ when he was invited to watch grandma's match.

A. happy B. proud C. excited D. uninterested

30. The text is mainly about

A. my grandma's confidence B. my dancing grandma

C. my grandma's dancing D. my grandma's gold cup

B

When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor named Doctor Gibbs. He didn't look like any doctor I'd ever known. He never yelled at us for playing in his yard, but was always very kind.

When Doctor Gibbs wasn't saving lives, he was planting trees. He had some interesting theories about planting trees. He believed in the principle: "No pain, no gain". He hardly watered his new trees, an attitude which flew in the face of conventional wisdom.

Once I asked why and he told me that watering plants spoiled them because it made them grow weaker. He said you had to make things tough for the trees so that only the strongest could survive.

He talked about how watering trees made them develop shallow roots and how, if they were not watered, trees would grow deep roots in search of water.

So, instead of watering his trees every morning, he'd beat them with a rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree's attention.

Doctor Gibbs died a couple of years after I left home. Every now and then, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I'd watched him plant some 25 years ago. They were tall and strong.

I planted a couple of trees myself a few years ago. Two years of attending these trees meant they grew up weak. Whenever a cold wind blew, their branches trembled. Adversity seemed to benefit Doctor Gibb's trees in ways comfort and ease never could.

Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. I often pray that their lives will be easy. But lately I've been thinking that it's time to change my prayer. I know my children are going to encounter hardship. There's always a cold wind blowing somewhere. What we need to do is to pray for deep roots, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, we won't be torn apart.

31. With the trees planted, Doctor Gibbs often______.

A. paid little attention to them

B. talked to them to get their attention

C. kept watering them every morning

D. beat them to make them grow deep roots

32. What does the author think of the way Doctor Gibbs planted trees?

A. Original and reasonable.

B. Strange and harmful.

C. Interesting and funny.

D. Cruel and unacceptable.

33. What does the underlined word "Adversity" mean in the seventh paragraph?

A. Bad weather.

B. Lack of moisture.

C. Enough care or attention.

D. Difficult living conditions.

34. Which prayer does the author wish for his sons?

A. Have an easy life, without too much to worry about.

B. Meet people like Dr Gibbs in the future.

C. Have good luck, encountering less hardship in their life.

D. Be able to stand the rain and wind in their lives.

35. Which of the following is the best title for the article?

A. Deep roots count

B. Prayers for my sons

C. Doctor Gibbs and his trees

D. Trees need no water

C

When Joan gave birth to the first boy in her family in three generations, she and her husband were overjoyed. So were her parents. Joan expected her elder sister, Sally, to be just as delighted as them. Joan had always admired Sally--the beauty and the star of the family--and felt happy about her achievements.

But since the baby's arrival, the sisters have become distant. Joan feels hurt for Sally seems completely uninterested in her baby. Sally, who has no children, claims that her younger sister "acts as if no one ever had a beby before."

Neither Sally nor Joan understands that the real cause of the current coldness is that their family roles have suddenly changed to the opposite. Finally Joan seems to be better than her elder sister--and Sally doesn't like it! Their distance may be temporary, but it shows that childhood competition don't fade easily as ages grow. It can remain powerful in relationships throughout life.

In a study of the University of Cincinnati,65 men and women between ages 25 and 93 were asked how they felt about their brothers and sisters. Nearly 75 percent admitted having hidden competitive feelings. In a few cases, these emotions were so strong as to have affected their entire lives.

Many adult brothers and sisters are close, supportive--yet still tend to compete. Two brothers I know turn into killers when on opposite sides of a tennis net. Off the court, they are the best of friends. My own younger sister can't wait to tell me when I've put on weight. However, she's a terrible cook and that pleases me; I tease her when she comes to dinner. Happily, despite these small failings, we have been an important resource for each other.

In between the very competitive and the generally supportive children lie those who say that no friendship should survive. Some brothers and sisters stay at arm's length, hut never give up competition completely. Why do these puzzling, unproductive, often painful relationships continue to exist?

39. Why does the author's sister often tell her when she's put on weight?

Taxi, the underground, driving…in London these means of transport are expensive. As a student on a budget, I couldn't afford the 30 pounds (around 300 yuan) fare for a taxi. Even a bus was one pound and 20 pence (about 12 yuan) for a single ticket. I didn't need to travel this way anyway. I had Mabel-- my London bike.

When I moved to Beijing, like every foreigner, I was delighted to discover I could take a cab for cheaper than a single journey on the subway. But something was wrong. I missed Mabel. That was when I met Mandarin Mabel also known as Mandy, my Beijing bike.

In many ways, Beijing is made for: It is a flat, easy land compared with hilly London. The cycling city's north/south/east/west square structure is also easier to travel than London's unplanned, twisting streets.

However, Beijing comes completely with its own dangers. The rules of the road are

flexible. Bikes, cars, passers-by all float up and down ways in both directions.

Compared with London's terrible cycle paths, in Beijing, every road has huge, wide cycle ways. But cars, taxis and motorbikes see no reason why they shouldn't use the cycle ways as a shortcut, and why they shouldn't announce you to get out of their way when they do.

Beijing traffic is more good-natured. In London, the road is an active war. People shout, quarrel and beat on each other's windows. In Beijing zone, drivers never get actively angry. In fact, often they ignore cyclists. Obviously that means it's up to the cyclists to see them.

Mandy is a tree Beijing bike. It is nearly broken, it makes loud noises every time you ride on it, and I have had to make several emergency repair stops for it.

But cycling round Beijing on a sunny day is a joy. It is just me, Mandy and the city.

41. What can we conclude from the first paragraph?

A. Bicycles are the most popular means of transport in London.

B. To save money, the author used travel around by bus in London.

C. The expense of public transport makes some people want to buy a bike.

D. The author didn't travel around London because of lacking a bike.

42. What does the author think of cycling around Beijing?

A. The city's twisting streets make it hard for the rider to find the way.

B. Cars, taxis and motorbikes on the cycle lane pose a threat to cyclists.

C. With the flat land and wide cycle lanes, it's safer to cycle in Beijing than in London.

D. Cycling in Bejing is safe because of its flexible rules.

43. What can we infer from the article?

A. In the author's view, Beijing drivers drive more safely.

B. In London, cars, taxis and motorbikes are allowed to use the cycle paths.

C. People in London follow the traffic rules more closely than those in Beijing.

D. Mandy breaks down so easily that it makes the author miss her London bike Mabel.

44. The reason why drivers in Beijing seldom get angry is that______.

A. the cycle ways are fiat

B. they care little about cyclists

C. they can even drive on the cycle ways

D. people in Beijing don't often ride bikes

45. What does the article mainly talk about?

A. To tell us what makes the author love cycling.

B. To compare cycling in Beijing with that in London.

C. To introduce the differences between Mabel and Mandy.

D. To explain why Beijing is made for cycling.

The boy dug around the rock, managing to get it out from the dirt. With a little bit of struggle, he pushed the rock across the sandbox by using his feet.When the boy got the rock to the edge of the sandbox, however, he found that he couldn't roll it up and move it to the wall.

Determined, the little boy tried again, pushed, and shoveled, but every time he thought he had made some progress the rock rolled and then fell back into the sandbox. The little boy struggled, pushed, and pulled; but failed.

Finally he burst into tears. The boy's father watched him from his living room window all the time. At the moment the tears fell, a large shadow fell across the boy and the sandbox. It was the boy's father. Gently but firmly he said, "Son, why didn't you use all the strength available? " Defeated, the boy sobbed back, "But I did, Daddy, I did! I used all the strength that I had!" "No, son," corrected the father kindly. "You didn't use all the strength you had. You didn' t ask me."

It is obvious that our body will lack water( because of sweat streaming) after exercise, so it is necessary to increase water for our body, which will keep our body energetic, making us refresh quickly. It is better to drink suitable water two or three hours before exercise, but not too much. Meanwhile we should choose a certain sports drinking or salty water during the exercise. Besides, after exercise, we'd better add water in time properly and slowly for it's good for our health. Special attention: strong tea, coffee and wines are also prohibited after exercise(此句也可用一个句子来表达: eg: What we should pay more attention to is that------).

version

A little boy had some difficulty in removing a big rock from the sandbox. Though he tried hard, he still couldn't move it. Finally his father helped him and he managed.

After reading this passage, I think highly of the father's words. He helped his son realize the importance of help. Similar things also occurred to me. I still remember last summer holiday when I travelled in Beijing on my own. Unfortunately, I lost my baggage, I was penniless and I couldn't go home. It was with the help of the local police that I was able to return home safely. What I experienced has taught me a lot. Help is very important for us, and we will benefit from other's help.

There is no doubt that I will offer help as much as possible if I find someone who is in trouble. Help is a good virtue, which will make problems solved more easily, make people feel the warmth of others, and make our lives better and better.
