DEveryone has his or her own idol（偶像）. My idol is a Hollywood movie star — Sandr

题型：不详难度：来源：

D
Everyone has his or her own idol（偶像）. My idol is a Hollywood movie star — Sandra Bullock. I’ve liked her for two and a half years. I think she has an unbelievably magical power. She’s the best actress in my heart. Actually I a

m deeply influenced by her. About two years ago, I borrowed a video called “Speed,” in which Sandra played a role. At that time, I still didn’t know who she was. But after seeing that great movie, I was totally struck! Her performance and smile really attracted me. At that time, I started collecting everything about Sandra from magazines, TV and newspapers. But unfortunately, I couldn’t find much information in my hometown. That really disappointed me. All I could do was to get on the internet. Luckily, there were many foreign web sites. I was really happy then. But there was a big problem for me: the Web sites are all in English. So, English became an important part in my life. I decided to learn English well and to be able to read and understand everything. The craziest thing I’ve ever done was to record all her movies, film previews（预告）and interviews. I listened to them over and over every day. When I heard any word that I didn’t understand, I would look them up in the dictionary. That was a good for me because I could learn them in a very short time. It does work, and I never get tired of doing this. It’s been two years since then, and my listening and reading abilities are better than before. I can even chat with my foreign friends on the internet. I should say from the bottom of my heart, “Thank you so much, Sandra.”
If you have an idol like me, I hope you all can get something helpful from that person.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中，选出最佳选项。
A
Each time I see a balloon, my mind flies back to a memory of when I was a six-year-old girl. It was a rainy Sunday and my father had recently died. I asked my mom if Dad had gone to heaven. "Yes, honey. Of course," she said.
"Can we write him a letter?"
She paused, the longest pause of my short life, and answered, "Yes."
My heart jumped. "How? Does the mailman go there?" I asked.
"No, but I have an idea." Mom drove to a party store and returned with a red balloon. I asked her what it was for.
"Just wait, honey. You"ll see." Mom told me to write my letter. Eagerly, I got my favorite pen, and poured out my six-year-old heart in the form of blue ink. I wrote about my day, what I learned at school, how Morn was doing, and even about what happened in a story I had read. For a few minutes it was as if Dad were still alive. I gave the letter to Mom. She read it over, and a smile crossed her face.
She made a hole in the corner of the letter where she looped(缠绕) the balloon string. We went outside and she gave me the balloon. It was still raining.
"Okay, on the count of three, let go. One, two, three."
The balloon, carrying my letter, darted(猛冲) upward against the rain. We watched until it was swallowed by the mass of clouds.
Later I realized, like the balloon, that Dad had never let his sickness get him down. He was strong. No matter what he suffered, he"d persevere, dart up, and finally transcend(超越) this cold world and his sick body. He rose into sky and became something beautiful. I watched until the balloon disappeared into the gray and white and I prayed that his strength was hereditary(遗传的). I prayed to be a balloon.

A. felt it hard to answer                       B. thought her a creative girl

第三部分：写作(共两节，满分35分)
第一节任务型读写(共10小题；每小题1分．满分10分)
阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入适当的单词。
注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
Do you often see silly words or drawings scratched onto the desks in your classroom? Have you ever found chewing gum on the floor of your classroom or around the campus? How many times have you seen broken windows in the classroom and school buildings? This is vandalism，the destruction or damaging of public property for no obvious reason．
Vandalism in schools is becoming a growing problem，and it is costing us more than money．It is expensive to repaint the desks，clear them of chewing gum and repair school furniture．Moreover，it costs us our sense of self-respect and feeling of pride in our school．
Many students see this damage and lose some pride in their school．
How，then，can we prevent vandalism in schools? First of all，we need to make students realize the importance of taking care of public property．School property should be treated with care so that it can be used by all the students．
Secondly，we should learn to obey school rules and regulations．These rules and regulations are there to look after both the students and the schools．Whenever we see any acts of vandalism，we need to remind the people of the rules and try to prevent these acts from happening．Thirdly，anyone who vandalizes school property should receive some kind of punishment．For example，if someone has torn a page from a library book，he or she would have to carefully tape the page back into the book．Such punishment is not harsh，but can make them know their misbehavior．
Vandalism costs schools money that could be better spent educating students，and it harms students’pride in their school as well．If we educate people about vandalism and work to prevent it from happening，then we will begin to see cleaner schools and happier students．

B
“The Lord of the Rings”, one of the best sellers in the new millennium（千年）, was made up of three parts——“The Fellowship of the Ring”, “Two Towers”, and “The Return of the King”. Millions upon millions of people have read it in over 25 different languages, but fewer know about the author and the history of the composition of the creative masterwork.
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born in South Africa in 1892. His parents died when he was a child. Living in England with his aunt, Tolkien and his cousins made up play languages, a hobby that led to Tolkien’s becoming skilled in Welsh, Greek, Gothic, Old Norse and Anglo-Saxon.
After graduating from Oxford, Tolkien served in World War I. In 1917, while recovering from trench fever, he began composing the mythology for The Rings. As a professor of Anglo-Saxon in 1930s at Oxford, Tolkien was part of an informal discussion group called the Inklings, which included several writers. The group was soon listening to chapters of Tolkien’s imaginative work “The Hobbit”.
Hobbit was a name Tolkien created for a local people that could best be described as half-sized members of the English rural（乡村的）class. Hobbits live in hillside holes. One of them, Bilbo Baggins, looks for treasures with a group of dwarves（侏儒）. On the way, he meets the twisted, pitiful creature Gollum, from whom he sees a golden ring that makes the holder invisible（看不见的）.
One of Tolkien’s students persuaded her employer, publisher Allen & Unwin, to look at a draft（草稿）. The chairman of the firm, Stanley Unwin, thought that the best judge for a children’s book would be his ten-year-old son. The boy earned a shilling for reporting back that the adventure was exciting, and “The Hobbit” was published in 1937.
It sold so well that Unwin asked for a continuation. Over a dozen years later, in 1954, Tolkien produced “The Lord of the Rings”, a series of books so creative that they hold readers—new and old —after their publication.
54. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. “The Lord of the Rings” didn’t sell well in the last millennium.
B. People know better about Tolkien himself than about his works.
C. Tolkien was quite familiar with Old English.
D. Tolkien knew very well about different kinds of local languages in Africa.
55. What can we learn about “Hobbit” that Tolkien created in his works?
A. Hobbit was a race living in English downtown areas.
B. Hobbit was a local people who were very tall and strong.
C. Hobbit was a social group of people who lived in old castles.
D. Hobbit was a group of people who were mostly dwarves.
56. Which of the following shows the right order of Mr J.R.R.Tolkien’s life experience?
a. He had his “The Hobbit” published.       b. He became a member of the Inklings.
c. He served in World WarⅠ              d. He became an undergraduate at Oxford.
e. “The Lord of the Rings” came to the world. f. He moved to England to live with his aunt.
A. f-d-b-c-a-e        B. f-d-c-b-a-e        C. f-c-d-b-e-a           D. d-f-c-a-b-e
