Leaving Home

When I told my mother, she looked at me as if I had 　　21　　 her face.

"What? Live in London?" she said.

"I just feel it's time I saw a little more of the world. After all, mum, I'm twenty-two!”

Just then, my father came downstairs, looking 　　22　　 as he always did after his Sunday afternoon nap. I had chosen the moment carefully.

"Clive wants to leave home. He doesn't want to live with us any more," she told him in a trembling voice. My father's expression changed.

"What? You aren't serious, are you, son?" he asked. He sat down at the table opposite me.

Perhaps my parents wouldn't have reacted this way if they hadn't spent all their lives in a small village in Wales. And perhaps my mother in particular wouldn't have been so possessive if her only other child hadn't died as a baby. I tried to explain to them that the bank I worked 　　23　　 had offered me a chance to take a job in their head office. But I didn't dare tell them I had already accepted the job.

"London's a long way away. We'll hardly see you any more," my father said.

"l can come back at　　24　　， dad. "

He shook his head, looking more and more like someone who had just been given a few months to　　25　　 by his doctor.

"I don't know, son. I don't know."

He shook his head again and then got up and walked　　26　　 into the garden.

My mother and I sat there at the table. In the　　27　　 , I could hear the old clock ticking away in the hall. There were tears in my mother's eyes. I knew she was going to put pressure on me to give up the idea, and I wondered if I could stand up to it. I even began to wonder if it was wrong 　　28　　me to want to leave my family, the village and the people I had known all my life to live among the English in their cold, strange capital.

She put her hand over mine.

"Your father 　　29　　 lately. Neither have I. You know that. But we won't stand in your way if it's 　　30　　 you really want," she said.

21. A. washed B. slapped C. kissed D. changed

22. A. relaxed B. tired C. anxious D. pleased

23. A. for B. out C. at D. in

24. A. weekends B. weekdays C. night D. daytime

25 .A. live B. play C. work D. spare

26. A. away B. out C. quickly D. slowly

27. A. noise B. silence C. darkness D. meantime

28. A. for B. of C. with D. to

29. A. has been well B. hasn’t been good C. hasn't been well D. has been good

Have you ever wondered what you would look like if you were an Asian, Middle Eastern, black, white or Indian person? By stepping into the Human Race Machine, you can find out. When you sit inside it, the machine creates a digital image of your face. After pushing certain buttons, the machine uses various photos of people of a certain ethnic group mixed with your own facial features. From this, it can come up with an image showing how you would look as a member of a different race.

The machine is part of a traveling retrospective (回顧展) called “ Seeing and Believing: The Art of Nancy Burson.” Burson is a famous American photographer and inventor. The show of 100 photos and multimedia works was on view at the Grey Art Gallery in New York on April 20.

“ It is a strange feeling, just like stepping into someone else’s skin.” said Hathy Zajchenko, a museum visitor from Pennsylvania, US. As soon as she sat down, she tried out a range of ethnic groups. “ The Middle Eastern image worked pretty well for me,” she said with a smile.

According to Burson, the machine is a prayer for unity. It is about seeing through differences to find the things we all share in common. Burson added the database of Middle Eastern faces, both Arab and Jewish, after the terrorist attacks on September 11. “I have always wanted to allow people to see differently. I am a photographer. I am recording the unseen, because what we can not see is so much more interesting than what we can see,” Burson said.

For those who missed the show, the Human Race machine will be on view at the New York Hall of Science in the Queens district full-time as of June.

Human Race Machine can ____.

A. tell you what you would look like if you were a member of another ethnic group

C. turn your pray into reality

D. let people step into someone else’s skin

52. The phrase “ come up with” in the first paragraph means ____.

A. get nearer B. produce C. come out D. change

A. she would like to change her face

B. she had a strange feeling

C. she was satisfied with what she looked like as a Middle Eastern person

D. she could buy the Human Race machine

54. The underlined sentence “ The machine is a pray for unity.” means _____ .

A. the Human Race machine can unite the facial feather of a different ethnic group with your own

B. the machine shows that no matter what race people are, there are some things we all have in common

C. one can pray before the machine

D. if you want, the machine can change your face

Doctors say anger can be an extremely harmful emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that angry feelings can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.

Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm, reasonable way. Others burst with anger, losing control of themselves. But still other people control their anger. They cannot or will not express it.

Recently some doctors have found that people who express anger too often and violently become, in fact, more and not less angry. This can cause medical problems. Some doctors say that both controlling and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger strongly may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who deep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.

Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably. ”

John,

I got my plane ticket this morning. I’ll take Fight CA981 to fly to New York on June 25th. The plane takes off at 10:20 in the morning from Beijing Airport. It will arrive in New York at 7:45 in the evening. Will you go to the airport to meet me then?

Yours，

Wang Fei

第二節:讀寫任務寫作範文

Doctors say that anger can lead to serious diseases like heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and even cancer. Both controlling anger and express anger strongly can be harmful to your health.

As we all know, getting angry not only does harm to one’s health but also has a bad effect on the relationship between people. Sometimes expressing anger too strongly can lead to severe results. However, in many cases, anger may be avoided if we can understand each other better. For instance, someone may have done something about which you are very angry, but in fact he/she meant no harm. So it is quite unnecessary for you to get angry. If someone does do some wrong, try to put yourself in his/her position and understand him/her. If you find it really necessary to express to anger, try to do it in a calm, reasonable way.

Remember： Losing your temper does good to neither you nor the other person.

Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that thankfulness is indeed a virtue.

—William Bennett

Thanksgiving Day was near. The first grade teacher gave her class a fun __36__ to draw a picture of something for which they were thankful.

Most of the class might be considered economically __37__, but still many would __38__ the holidays with turkeys and other traditional goodies of the season. These, the teacher thought, would be the __39__ of most of her students’ art. And they were.

__40__, Douglas made a different kind of picture. Douglas was a special kind of boy. He was the teacher’s true child of misery, __41__ and unhappy. As other children played at break, Douglas was likely to stand close by her side. One could only guess the pain Douglas felt __42__ those sad eyes.

Yes, his picture was different. When __43__ to draw a picture of something for which he was thankful, he drew a hand. Nothing else. Just a(n) __44__ hand.

His abstract image captured the __45__ of his classmates, whose hand could it be? One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers __46__ turkeys. Another suggested a police officer, because the police protect and __47__ people. And so the discussion went ---- until the teacher __48__ forgot the young artist himself.

When the children had gone on to other tasks, she __49__ at Douglas’ desk, bent down, and asked him whose hand it was. The little boy looked away and __50__, “It’s yours, teacher.”

She __51__ the times she had taken his hand and walked with him here and there, __52__ she had other student. How often had she said, “Take your hand, Douglas, we’ll go outside.” Or, “Let me show you how to hold your pencil.” Or, “Let’s do this together.” Douglas was most thankful for his teacher’s hand.

Brushing __53__ a tear, she went on with her work.

The story speaks of __54__ thankfulness. It says something about teachers teaching and parents parenting and friends showing friendship, and how much it means to the Douglases of the world. They might not always say thanks, but they'll remember the hand that __55__.

第三部分：閱讀理解 (共20小題;每小題2分;滿分40分)

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項中(A、B、C和 D)中，選出最佳選項，並在答題卡上將該項塗黑。

Most of us feel upset if we miss just one meal, and if we try to go without food for 12 hours we would really be uncomfortable. But there are some people who seem able to “fast” for very long periods.

Various records are claimed for long fast, but in most cases there is no medical proof and so the records are doubtful. One South African woman claimed that she lived for 102 days on nothinig but water and soda water.

There are great differences among living things in the ability to survive without food. For example , a tick(扁蝨), which lives on animals, may survive a whole year. Warm-blooded animals use up their stores of food in the body more quickly.

In fact, the smaller and more active the animal, the more quickly it uses up its reserves. A small bird starves to death in about five days, a dog in about twenty. In general, we can say that a warm-blooded creature will die when it has lost about half its normal weight.

This matter of weight is important. Man and other creatures live in a state of metabolic equiplibrium(新陳代謝的平衡)which means maintaining the body weight once a certain point has been reached. This regulation of body weight is done by thirst, hunger, and appetite.

When your blood lacks nutritional materials, this registers(記錄)in the hunger center of the brain and you feel “hungry”. The body is crying out for any kind of fuel(food). And it is our appetite that sees to it hat we chooose a mixed diet, which is the kind the body needs.

56. According to this passage, a man will die _________.

A. when a certain point in losing weight has been reached.

B. when his blood lacks nutritional material

C. when his normal weight is lost

D. when he goes without food for more than 12 hours

57. The word “fast” in Paragraph 1 can best be replaced by ________.

A. eat no food B. live merely on water and soda water

C. live on nothing D. remains alive for a long time without food

58. A tick can survive much longer than a bird because ________.

A. a tick lives on animals B. a tick is much smaller

C. a bird is more active D. both B and C

59. A person feels hungry _________.

A. if he doesn’t choose a mixed diet

B. because his body cries out for food

C. when soemthing is wrong with regulation of body weight

D. if there are not enough nutritional in his blood

60. From the passage we can infer that the author ________.

A. believes the South African woman very firmly

B. does not believe the South African woman at all

C. is not certain whether the South African woman’s claim was true.

D. is doubtful whether there was such a South African woman

It might sound ridiculous that goal setting could actually hold you back from completing tasks and dreams you may have. But it seems like everyone tells you should be setting goals for everything you want to accomplish, short term and long term. Goals can help you sometimes, but in some cases they just lead to constant frustration and they actually bring you down.

Let's look at this a little closer with an example. A lot of people might set forth as a goal. Many people jump online and are looking to start a business online as a way to make money from home and let's say they set a goal to make $10,000 in their first month. They do this because they seem tons of people making large sums of money in very little time so they think, $10,000 a month, that shouldn't be too hard.

But what happens when you only bring in $1,000 in your first 30 days online? If this is pure profit you might still be happy but this is nowhere near reaching the goal you originally set out to meet. So naturally you would feel like you failed to reach your goal and you may be a little disappointed in yourself.

If you continue not to reach this goal month in month , it starts to add up and really weighs on you. I'm not saying that they are bad and you shouldn't set them but you need to realize that you should not be emotionally attached to your goals.

An alternative approach would be to set certain milestones for when you want to accomplish things and start out small. Build your confidence by accomplishing smaller feats and if you overproduce, then it will be a nice surprise. You have to have some sort of end result in mind but break it down in to a day by day task. It makes it a lot easier for you to handle by just knowing everyday you have to complete a few small tasks and over time the snowball will roll into great things.

61. The purpose of the passage is to _______.

A. show that it’s necessary to set goals

B. prove the disadvantages of setting goals

C. suggest way of setting goals to reach success

D. introduce how to reach success by setting high goals.

62. In Paragraph 2 , the writer used the example to _______.

A. persuade readers not to be greedy for money

B. prove that goals often result in frustration.

C. show goal setting sometimes stops you realizing your dreams

D. advise readers not to set goals to avoid frustration

63. According to the passage, always sticking to our goals is ______.

A. important B. unnecessary C. ridiculous D. natural

64. What belief does the writer most probably hold?

A. The higher goals we set, the more success we’ll achieve

B. Goal setting is not always necessary and helpful

C. We shouldn’t set higher goals than other people

D. Goals should be set for short term and long term.

65. What information will probably be provided following the last paragraph?

A. Another helpful tip for setting goals B. Benefits of setting small goal

C. Side effects of goal setting D. Success achieved without goal setting.

Are some people born clever and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both questions is some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.

It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random (隨意地) from the population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that integigence depends on birth.

Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this shows that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who lives in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.

66. Which of the following best describes the writer’s point in Paragraph One?

A. To some extent, intelligence is given at birth.

B. Intelligence is developed by the environment.

C. Some people are born clever and others born stupid.

D. Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.

67. In the first paragraph,“no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence” suggests that .

A. no environment can change the least able into the most able

B. the difference in men’s intelligence depends on the amount of their education

C. if a person is born clever, he is certain to be a genius

D. if a person is born stupid, nothing can change him into an educated person

68. The last paragraph mainly shows .

A. the importance of education

B. the relationship between environment and birth

C. the writer’s final conclusion

D. the relationship between intelligence and environment

69. The best title for this passage would be .

A. Dependence on Education B. Intelligence

C. Surroundings D. Effect of Education

70. Which statement about the passage is true?

A. All twins have similar degrees of intelligence.

B. A man who is educated in university must make greater achievements than a man who works in a boring factory.

C. Proper education can change one’s intelligence at some degree.

D. Education can’t make a child born with low intelligence cleverer.

A team of US psychologists have found that talking to another person for ten minutes a day helps with memory.

"Socializing is just as effective as more traditional kinds of mental exercise in boosting memory and intellectual performance," Oscar Ybarra, a psychologist at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research, said in a statement.

In one investigation, they analyzed data on 3610 people, aged 24 to 96.

They found that the higher their level of social interaction (交流), the better their cognitive (認知的) functioning. Social interaction includes getting together or having phone chats with relatives, freinds and neighbors.

In another experiment, the researchers conducted lab tests on 76 college students, aged 18 to 21, to evaluate how social interactions and intellectual exercises affected the results of memory and mental performance tests.

The students were divided into three groups: the social interaction group had a discussion of a social issue for 10 minutes before taking the tests; the intellectual activities group completed three tasks (including a reading comprehension exercise and a crossword puzzle) before the tests; and a control group (對照組) watched a 10-minute clip (電源片段) of the Seinfeld television show.

"We found that short-term social interaction lasting for just 10 minutes improved participants' intellectual performance as much as engaging in so-called 'intellectual' activities for the same amount of time," Ybarra said.

The study was expected to be published in the February issue of the journal Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin.

71. The underlined word "boosting" in the second paragraph can be replaced by ______.

A. improving B. decreasing C. preventing D. training

72. Which is not included in social interaction?

A. Having a talk with a neighbor. B. Attending a birthday party.

C. Watching TV at home alone. D. Calling your classmates

73. What's the purpose of the experiment on 76 college students?

A. To judge the effect of social interaction on memory and intelligence.

B. To find out what is real social interaction.

C. To learn how much time is needed for social interaction.

D. To show the function of people's cognition.

74. Which of the following questions may be asked in the social interaction group in the experiment?

A. What does the author want to show us?

B. Do you like living in a big city or a small one?

C. Which word can be used to fill in the blank?

D. What is the main idea of the second paragraph?

75. What's the main idea of the passage?

A. Intellectual exercises improve memory.

B. Different people have different ways of communication

C. Communicating with others keeps you healthy.

D. Social interaction makes you smart

閱讀下面的短文，並根據短文後的要求答題(請注意問題後的詞數要求，並將答案寫在二卷答題紙上)。

[1]What does a successful language learner do? Language learning research shows that successful language learners are similar in many ways.

[2]First of all, successful language learners are independent learners. They do not depend on the book or the teacher. They don’t wait for teachers to explain, but try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues and form their own conclusions.

[3]Secondly, successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language but . They find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things. They are willing to make mistakes and try again. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word. Actually, all successful language learners cannot agree on it more.

[4]Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language.

[5]What kind of language learners are you? If you are a successful language learner, you have probably been learning independently, actively and purposefully. On the other hand, if your language learning has been less than successful, you might do well to try some of the techniques above.

76. What is the main idea of the text? (no more than 10 words.)
