I went back the next day after school 43 with about six feet of fishing line and a hook borrowed from our elderly neighbor.and half a dozen worms I had 44 out of the garden.We did not own any fishing tool,and 45 a city kid,my fishing experience, had 46 week long visits to my relatives. I took a shortcut 47 some fallen cedars on my way to the pond.As I was climbing over one tree and ducking under another,I _48 my footing,and my soup can of worms went flying into the air.My 49 was only increased when I noticed that my worms had disappeared. I went to the pond,looked down again,and there they were.I made a few 50 to catch them by hand,but I soon realized it was never going to 51 .I had been trying to catch them for quite a while without actually even 52 either one.After each attempt,they 53 suddenly go around the pool,then settle back under the log.They could really go 54 ,but they were just too fast to be caught.I was wet and 55 and it was time to go home. 36.A.seated B.settled C.separated D.served 37.A.deserted B.crowded C.surrounding D.distant 38.A.but B.and C.thus D.so 39.A.hardly B.seldom C.never D.ever 40.A.dots B.signs C.signals D.symbols 41.A.nervously B.hopelessly C.effortlessly D.difficultly 42.A.through B.across C.past D.by 43.A.armed B.matched C.handled D.accompanied 44.A.put B.dug C.pulled D.searched 45.A.for B.with C.as D.despite 46.A.consisted of B.compared with C.made up D.taken up 47.A.beyond B.against C.between D.through 48.A.lost B.sank C.sent D. threw 49.A.doubt B.disappointment C.courage D. strength 50.A.steps B.activities C.attempts D. movement 51.A.work B.complete C.cover D. catch 52.A.noticing B.touching C.holding D. feeling 53.A.should B.might C.would D. could 54.A.somewhere B.anywhere C.nowhere D. everywhere 55.A.excited B.frightened C.worried D. discouraged |

Why couldn’t they create green products that would be just as environmentally pure as Aveda’s skin—and—hair—care lines? When Ryan’s mom heard about the plan,she stared at him blankly: “I’ve never even seen you clean your room!” Not discouraged,Lowry experimented with nontoxic ways to clean. while Ryan focused on marketing. In February 2001,they mixed their first four cleaning sprays and convinced the managers of 20 grocers to try them· Once they had their approval,they tapped friends and family and pooled their savings to come up with $90,000 in seed money. From the start,“Go big or go home’’was their mantra(口头禅).Their first financing— that $l million—was due to be signed on September 11, 2001. By the time they got it, two months later,says Ryan, "we had$16 in the bank and personally owed$300,000·” Seeking a national retailer(零售商)proved just as troublesome.The friends set their sights on Target,known for its trendy,affordable goods.“But Target didn’t like the product or the brand,”recalled Ryan.“We thought the deal was dead,but then a new buyer saw that even though we weren’t selling big volumes, we were profitable, just on a smaller scale.”They won over Target. Consumers were hooked on the natural things and wonderful fragrance. Today,the partners sell 130 products in more than 8,000 stores,and taxes are over$100 million. Such rapid growth has at times stressed the men’s friendship. “Eric and I agree on ‘what’ but never on‘how,’” says Lowry. “Although we are willing to challenge each other,we come up with interesting and smarter solutions.There’s little fire and ice between us· 56.The underlined word“toxic”in Paragraph 1 most probably means——· A.poisonous B.dirty C.expensive D.troublesome 57.When Ryan told his mom his plan, ___________. A.he knew his mom was sure to support him B.his mom asked him to clean his room C.his mom suspected his ability D.he was discouraged by his mom 58.We can learn:from the third paragraph that __________________. A.Ryan and Lowry wanted to gave up and go home at first B.their plan didn’t go smoothly at the very beginning C.they made profit two months later after their first financing D.$1 million was not enough as their seed money 59.The partners’cleaning products are sold very well because——. A.the products are made of natural material and smell nice B.their friends and family offered to use their products C.they cooperated with a well—known national retailer D.they convinced 20 grocer managers to try them 60.It can be inferred from the—passage that——. A.Aveda’s skin—and—hair-care lines are not so successful as Ryan and Lowry’s B.Target is a famous environment-friendly cleaning brand C.The friends "cooperation with Target was very successful D.The partners get on well with each other in their business |
第Ⅱ卷 (共45分) 第四部分:书面表达(共两节,满分45分) 第一节:阅读表达(共5小题。每小题3分,满分15分) 阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后面的要求答题。 The success of a speech is often due to the skill of the speaker who is confident,knowledgeable and able to deliver a speech clearly and effectively. But often it is not the speakers who write these moving speeches;it is a speechwriter. And polities is one industry in which this practise is common..So what does it take to be a political speechwriter? According to a recent job advertisement from the US Embassy in Britain,a political speechwriter needs to have excellent interpersonal skills and be able to demonstrate a deep knowledge of their subject.They must also work closely with speakers and be able to relate to the speakers’ style. Some believe that the best speechwriters have a—born talent,a natural creative ability, and that speechwriting is an art. What about those of us who _______? Can we still produce successful speeches? In an interview with the BBC,Dr Atkinson(a communications specialist)outlined a number of speechwriting techniques.He also explained how the.se techniques have been used in historic speeches. One such technique is introducing contrast(对比).This is extremely useful when presenting a positive influence on a negative issue. One of the most famous examples of this can be seen in a speech given by former American President John Kennedy:“Ask not what your country can do for you,but what you can do for your country.” Another technique is the use of three—part lists.Dr Atkinson explains that this can be an excellent way of confirming a statement.Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair was a fan of this technique.One of his most famous campaign Slogans(口号)was“education, education,education”. 76.What’s the main idea of this article?

SECTION B(10%) Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet. Even bird brains can get to know an entire continent ----- but it takes them a year of migration to do so, suggests a Princeton research team. The scientists have shown that migrating adult sparrows can find their way to their winter nesting grounds even after being thrown off course by thousands of miles. The team first brought 30 sparrows to Princeton from northern Washington State, where the birds had been in the process of migrating southward from their summer breeding grounds in Alaska. Half the birds were juveniles(少年) of about three months in age that had never migrated before, while the other half were adults that had made the round trip to their wintering site in the south-western United States at least once. After the birds were released, they attempted to start their migration again but both age group grew disoriented(迷失方向) quickly. “All the birds scattered(分散) at first,” Wikelski said. “It was clear that they were turned around for a couple of days. But while the adults eventually realized they had to head southwest, the younger birds began flying straight southward again as though they were still in Washington.” “The adults,” said team member Richard Holland, “recovered their bearings because they possess something the younger birds do not, which is an internal map.” “These birds need two things to know where they are and migrate effectively: a ‘map’ and a ‘compass’,” said Holland, a postdoctoral research associate in Wikelski’s lab. “What we’ve found is that juveniles use their compass, but the adults also use their map.” Holland said, “The birds do not lose the compass as they age, but somehow develop the map, eventually applying both tools to keep on track during migratory flights. Scientists already have determined that the compass is based on the sun or the magnetic field, but where the map comes from remains a mystery----one that the team will be exploring in the coming years.” 81.Where do you think the 30 sparrows spent their summer? (No more than 2 words) _______________________________________________________________________________82.What are the juveniles sparrows really lack of? (No more than 3 words) _______________________________________________________________________________83.What are scientists still not sure about? (No more than 6 words) _______________________________________________________________________________84.What is the main idea of the passage? (No more than 12 words) |

Now I look at the 31 of my life as if I were dead, 32 what my children will do with the human skull(骷髅) that 33 on the bookcase next to my desk. I couldn’t 34 them if they threw it out. They’ve been wanting to do that for some years, 35 will they know how much can be learned from 36 with a skull? And what about my books? 37 they can find some place in their 38 for ten thousand books. However, I know they will look at the white, plastic head of a horse on my desk and 39 it into a Glad trash bag without any 40 , never knowing that it is the only place 41 from the first chess set (棋子)I owned. How many boxes of mine will my children 42 ? Can I trust my children with my 43 ?

I look at these objects that are mine and know, too, that they are 46 of how alone I am, how alone each of us is, 47 no one knows what any object means except he or she who 48 it. I have the memory of taking it home 49 one of my newly-born children from the hospital; only I have the memory of what it looked like when I lived in that apartment and where it sat in that house.

第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分, 满分40分) 阅读下列短文,从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Mr. Whitson taught sixth-grade science. On the first day of class, he gave us a lecture about an animal called the Cattywampus, a nocturnal (夜间活动的) animal that was wiped out during the Ice Age. He passed around a skull as he talked. We all took notes and later had a quiz. When he returned my paper, I was shocked. There was a big red “X” through each of my answers. There had to be some mistakes! I had written down exactly what Mr. Whitson said. Then I realized that everyone in the class had failed. What had happened? Very simple, Mr. Whitson explained. He had made up all that story about the Cattywampus. The information in our notes was, therefore, incorrect. Did we expect credit for incorrect answers? Needless to say, we were outraged. What kind of text was this? And what kind of teacher is he? We should have figured it out, Mr. Whitson said. After all, at the very moment he was passing around the Cattywampus skull (in truth, a cat’s), hadn’t he been telling us that no trace of the animal remained? He had described its amazing night vision, the color of its fur and any number of other facts he couldn’t have known, he had given the animal a ridiculous name, and we still hadn’t been suspicious. The zeroes on our papers would be recorded in his grade book, he said. And they were. Mr. Whitson said he hoped we would learn something from this experience. He told us not to let our minds go to sleep, and to speak up if we ever thought he or the textbook was wrong. We carded our new skepticism (怀疑主义) into all our classes. This caused problems for the other teachers, who weren’t used to being challenged. Our history teacher would be lecturing about something, and then there would be clearings of the throat and someone would say “Cattywampus”. If I’m ever asked to propose a solution to the crisis in our schools, it will be Mr. Whitson. I haven’t made any great scientific discoveries, but Mr. Whitson’s class gave me and my classmates something just as important: the courage to look people in the eye and tell them they are wrong. He also showed us that you can have fun doing it. 51.The best title for this passage would probably be _______. A. Cattywampus B. An interesting and unforgettable Lesson C. A new teaching method D. The Best Teacher I Ever Had 52.The underlined word outraged in the second paragraph here means _______. A. angry B. excited C. disappointed D. discouraged 53.From this passage, we know that Mr. Whitson was a teacher _______. A. difficult to get along with B. creative in teaching C. fond of being challenged D. full of energy and enthusiasm 54.We can infer from the passage that _______. A. teachers and textbooks are not always right B. Cattywampus could be found in the Ice Age C. the history teacher didn’t like to be challenged D. Mr. Whitson always made a bad impression on his students |
