28．D　由于两个轮胎都坏了，他们的车就不能开了。他们一家人商讨是睡在车里还是到最近的农场求助，因为车子坏了，只好是步行去求助。walk“步行”符合语境。

Ⅵ.【参考范文】　

Dear_headmaster，

Lately_I_have_become_worried_about_the_environment_of_the_school_dinning_hall. Some people seem to treat it as if it were a rubbish area.They throw the leftover food about, on the table or on the ground. This makes the hall look unpleasant for us to come and eat there.

I have several solutions. First, get more people to form good habits by putting posters around the hall asking them to be more thoughtful of their behaviors and protect our environment. Second, make people pick up their own litter. We can do this by asking some students to walk around the hall and watch out for those that drop litter. We can make those who are found dropping litter stay behind and tidy up the hall after all the students have finished their meal.

Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)

A

The best kept secret in San Diego is waiting to offer you a delightful getaway—without leaving town.

Less than three years ago, the Parisi Hotel was just an office building above the shops on the corner of Prospect Street. Now, that valuable space is an intimate luxury hotel with several rooms overlooking the ocean. You'll be amazed when you enter from the corner and ascend the curving staircase to the secondfloor lobby. It will take you into a different world.

What will you find when you enter the large contemporary lobby is a hand some and peaceful space that was designed with a hint of Tuscany in its modern Mediterranean style. The lobby has a large fire place with comfortable sofas in warm neutral colors surrounding it. You'll feel relaxed just sitting there—with its skylight overhead letting in the morning sun. All the rooms are more like suites (套间), with large comfortable beds, beautiful baths and stylish customdesigned furnishings and art throughout.

The Parisi Hotel is the perfect place for seniors because it's quiet and restful—with only 20 rooms. You won't find many hotels like this in the center of a tourist town.

The shops are all around you. Likewise for some of the city's best restaurants, you will never have to take your car out of the garage during your stay. And, by the way, the underground parking lot at the Parisi Hotel is free for hotel guests.

Once you stay at this little gem (珍品), you'll want to return again and again. I know we do. It's a perfect place for seniors.

Rates for standard suites begin at $ 275. You can call the hotel for reservation at (858)4541513. The Parisi Hotel is located at 1111 Prospect St. right across from La Valencia.

3．The Parisi Hotel is perfect for old people because ________.

A．all the rooms are like suites with beautiful ocean view

B．it can give them the sense of peace

C．it is convenient for them to go shopping

Since people first launched rockets into space in the 1950s, we have been leaving behind all sorts of things. Some of them, like the camera, were lost by astronauts while they did work outside their spacecraft. But much of the space junk is made up of little pieces of things that were once bigger objects, until they struck each other and broke apart.

Some things we send into space fall back toward Earth and burn up in the atmosphere. But larger pieces sometimes survive the extreme heat and hit the ground or the ocean at great speeds. So there is always concern that something may fall from the sky and do some harm.

But space junk falling on roofs is not the biggest worry. Scientists are concerned about the “Kessler” problem. Imagine what happens when an empty rocket strikes another while orbiting the earth. Two big things become many smaller things. They then hit other things. The pieces get smaller and smaller until they form a cloud of junk that blocks the path of future space vehicles.

Marco Castronuovo, an Italian Space Agency researcher, says launching a satellite into space that would get very close to some of the larger pieces of space junk. The satellite would connect a small rocket to the useless object. When the rocket explodes, it pushes the junk into a lower and slower orbit, nearer the Earth. After a time, the junk burns up in the atmosphere. Mr.Castronuovo has proposed using a number of small satellites with robotic arms. One arm would catch the space junk, and another arm would connect the rocket. He imagines that each satellite could jump from one large piece of junk to another. He thinks this method could destroy about ten large objects each year.

Scientists have been concerned about space junk for many years. Right now, the costs of the cleanup have been too great. Mr.Castronuovo says his system could be put in place for a much more reasonable amount of money. So what can be done to clean up the space around our planet?

5．We can learn from the text that much of the space junk ________.

A．was left by the astronauts on purpose

B．is mainly made up of broken spaceship

C．is usually made of small pieces of things

D．burns up before it reaches the atmosphere

6.Now scientists are most worried that space junk will ________.

A．harm the future space vehicles

B．do some harm to the atmosphere

C．fall on people's house roofs

D．destroy the habitat of wildlife

7．It implies in the last but one paragraph that ________.

A．clearing up the space will actually cost little

B．small rockets also do harm to the atmosphere

C．only robots can clear up the space completely

D．it is still difficult for us to clear up the space

8．What is the text mainly about?

A．Space junk threatens earth's orbital environment.

B．Scientists use different methods to clear up space junk.

C．Spacecrafts will meet with a lot of space junk in the future.

D．Marco comes up with many methods to deal with space junk.

C

You have a backache; your legs are painful after a basketball match—what better than a relaxing massage (按摩)?

Scientists now say they have figured out the reason why a massage brings comfort. They say a massage changes how some of your proteins (蛋白质) act.This makes your muscles less inflamed (发炎的), according to the Los Angeles Times.

The leader of the study, Professor Mark Tarnopolsky at McMaster University, Canada, chose several healthy young men for the experiment.He asked them to do very tiring exercise. Then he looked at how the cells changed in their legs.After this, the men were given a massage on only one leg and Tarnopolsky recorded any cell changes again.

Tarnopolsky and his team found that massaging made the inflammation caused by exercise get better because it weakened the activity of a protein called NFkB.

Scientists also noticed that massaging helped cells recover from exercise damage.When muscles were being massaged, the amount of another protein called PGClalpha increased. This kind of protein can stimulate (促进) the growth of a tiny part inside cells called mitochondria (线粒体)．

People used to think that massaging eases pain by clearing away the lactic acid (乳酸) which built up after exercise. However, Tarnopolsky and his team didn't see any changes to lactic acid.

Thomas Birk is a professor at Wayne State University, US. He said that the study was the first he had seen to analyze massage in such depth. He said they wanted to start research 10 years ago, but technology was not yet good enough.

One day massages could be used to treat injuries and muscle disease. They may even be able to replace some antiinflammatory medicines, said Birk. But, he said, more research is needed for masseurs (按摩师) to figure out the best massages for different diseases.

9．What is the article mainly about?

A．A new way to massage.

B．The best way to relax after doing sports.

C．New research into massages.

D．The advantages of a massage.

10．How can a massage bring comfort according to the article?

A．It weakens the activity of the protein NFkB.

B．It helps protein recover from exercise damage.

C．It can clear away the mitochondria in muscles.

D．It can prevent inflammation in muscles.

11．What does the underlined word “eases” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?

A．makes easier　　 B．reduces

C．puts up with D．stops

12．Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A．It was believed that massages cleared away lactic acid.

B．Research into massages started 10 years ago.

C．Massages are used to treat muscle diseases in hospitals.

D．Massages will reduce the amount of protein PGClalpha.

D

A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.

Frank Hurley's pictures would be outstanding—undoubtedly firstrate photojournalism—if they had been made last week.In fact，they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海难), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival.Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.

The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegianbuilt threemaster that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all，to the southernmost shore of Antarctica's Weddell Sea.From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled (雪橇) across the continent.The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done.Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.

As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and wellresearched story The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort.Scott's last journey，completed as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world's imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds.Shackleton, a onetime British merchantnavy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography.Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic，was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published.

13．What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?

A．They were made last week.

B．They showed undersea sceneries.

C．They were found by a cameraman.

D．They recorded a disastrous adventure.

14．Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?

A．Frank Hurley.

B．Ernest Shackleton.

C．Robert Falcon Scott.

D．Caroline Alexander.

15．What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage?

A．Artistic creation. B．Scientific research.

C．Money making. D．Treasure hunting.

14．C　推理判断题。由题干中的“第一个到达南极”这条信息定位到第三段。被发现的照片所展示的这次旅行是为了获得比Robert Falcon Scott船长先前的探险更大的收获，该船长在1912年就到达了南极。由此推断Robert Falcon Scott是最先到达南极的人，故选C项。

15．C　细节理解题。题干的Alexander在最后一段出现，the 1914 voyage指本文谈到的Endurance这艘船的探险，该段开头说，这个作家在她的小说The Endurance中说，在那时，探险就已经是纯商业活动(a thoroughly commercial effort)了，因此1914年航行的目的是赚钱(money making)，故选C项。A项“艺术创作”，B项“科学调研”，D项“寻宝”，均未体现。

Ⅱ.【语篇解读】　本文主要讲述高中时期如何保持健康，这里提出了几点建议，包括每天有规律的喝水，按时吃饭，不吃垃圾食品等。

16．F　考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：高中时期健康很重要；空后的意思是：如果你病了怎么能学习好呢？所以这里选F(如果你不健康，你就可能很容易生病。)与上下文一致。

17．B　考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：有些学生只在口渴时才喝水；空后一句的意思是：你应该有规律的喝水来使你的大脑和身体更好的工作。所以这里选B(这对你的健康不利。)与上下文一致。

18．A　考查对下文语境的理解。空后的意思是：一些学生一天不吃三顿饭。所以这里选A(不要不吃饭。)与下文一致。

19．G　考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：一些学生吃他们想吃的；空后的意思是：选择谷物像大米和小麦。所以这里选G(你应该吃对你身体有益的食物。)与上下文一致。

20．E　考查对上下文语境的理解。空后的意思是：如果你那样做你就会分神。所以这里选E(当你吃饭的时候不要看电视或者看电影。)与上下文一致。

Ⅲ.【语篇解读】　文章讲述了一个小女孩住在简陋、劣质的房子里，每天都在院子里玩耍，她看到了山对面一个漂亮的房子，尽管她很热爱她的父母，但她还是希望能住在这样一个房子里，等到她长大的时候，她向父母要了一辆自行车，骑过去之后才知道所有的窗户都很脏。

21．C　考查情态动词辨析。句中的usually表示常态或习惯性动作，根据语境这里应该表示小女孩的个人习惯，即通常她会在那个小花园里玩耍，would意为“会，将会(表示按习惯可能会出现的情况)”，故答案为C。

22．B　主句意思是她向往住在那栋漂亮的房子里，从句意思是她爱她的父母和家，可见主从句之间是让步关系，所以选Although。

23．A　上句中的desired “渴望”对本空具有提示作用，且下句提到整天________关于住在那儿是多么的美妙和令人兴奋，所以选择dreamed，dream about doing sth.意为“梦想做某事”，故答案为A。

24．C　本句还原成正常语序应该是：______must feel how wonderful and exciting to live there。可知must feel缺少主语，而分析句意可知，feel wonderful and exciting(exciting只用来修饰事物)的应该是to live there，可见此处真正的主语是to live there，而空格处单词只是形式主语，能作形式主语的只有it。

25．D　different意为“不同的；各式各样的”；scientific意为“科学的；有系统的”；musical意为“音乐的”；basic意为“基本的”。下文小女孩的妈妈允许她在家附近骑自行车了，按常理推测，此处是说小女孩到了已经具备基本的(basic)技能和识别力的年纪，故选择D。

26．A　第一段提到小女孩渴望的心情，下句说她母亲最终同意(finally allowed)她可以去，可见此处是说小女孩请求妈妈让她做某事，begged意为“恳求”，符合文意，故答案为A。

27．B　下句提到她妈妈让她在房子附近(keeping close to the house)，不要走太远，说明这里表达的是去花园外面(outside)骑车，故答案为B。

28．A　insist on意为“坚持”；rely on意为“依赖，依靠”；argue about意为“争论，辩论”；wonder about“想知道；对……感到奇怪”。上句提到妈妈答应了小女孩的要求，后面妈妈又补充说不要远离自家的房子，辨析所给的选项insisting on符合语境，表达了母亲对小女孩的要求，故答案为A。

29．C　上文的“a bike ride”，对本空有提示作用，以及本段末句提到她骑车(rode)去了金色房子那里，句意为她妈妈要求她不要骑(riding)太远，故答案为C。

30．C　madly意为“发疯似的；疯狂地”；rapidly意为“很快地，迅速地”；exactly“确切地”；possibly“可能地”。上文提到小女孩一直很喜欢对面山上的那所房子，因此当得到妈妈同意后她确切地(exactly)知道自己要去哪里，故答案为C。

31．B　文章首段提到小女孩住在山上(on a hill)，所以这里是骑车下山(down the hill)，然后穿过山谷，故答案为B。

32．D　下段首句提到她下车，然后将自行车靠在门柱上(the gate post)，可以推知小姑娘是骑车到金色房子的门口(gate)，故答案为D。

33．B　until意为“到……为止；直到……才”；as“由于；当……时候”；while意为“在……期间；与……同时”；because意为“因为”。所填词表示主从句间的逻辑关系，而从句子意思上看，主从句间明显为时间关系，需要引导时间状语从句的词，while引导时间状语从句时，谓语动词应该是延续性的，而got off her bike为瞬间动词，所以否定C选项，as符合语法和语义要求，故为答案。

34．C　get to意为“到达”；introduce...to意为“介绍……给……”；lead to 意为“通向”；move to意为“朝……移动”。本句要表达的是道路与房子的关系，应该是这条路通向那所房子，leading符合文意，故答案为C。

35．D　上句提到她仔细看着通往房子的小路和房子，空后为“all windows”，将选项一一带入，只有found(发现)符合上下文逻辑，故答案为D。

36．C　transparent意为“透明的”；bright意为“明亮的”；plain意为“朴素的；简朴的；相貌平平的”；wide意为“宽的；广阔的”。上句说小女孩很失望(rather disappointed)和后面提到很脏(rather dirty)，由此可以推知这所房子远没有她当初想象得好，很一般，很普通，plain符合文意。故答案为C。

37．D　上段提到了小女孩失望，本句中又有心碎(heartbroke)，由此可推断小女孩感到伤心和难过(sad)，故答案为D。

38．A　动词短语辨析。turn around意为“转身”；cheer up意为“(使)高兴起来，(使)振作起来”；settle clown意为“定居；(使)安静下来”；drop in意为“顺便拜访；降下”。下句提到女孩看到在山谷的另一边有一所有金色窗户的小房子，可以推知turn around符合文意，故答案为A。

39．D　句子意思为小女孩转身后看到了令人惊讶的什么。结合下句中，小女孩看到的山谷对面的小房子和金色窗户可知，此处说的是令人惊讶的景象，sight“景象”符合文意，故答案为D。

40．C　动词辨析。空后面的句子意思是小女孩通过这次经历明白原来自己一直住在充满爱和关心的金色房子里，她所梦想和渴望的东西一直在自己的身边，也就是说她意识到了(realized)这个道理。

Ⅳ.41.destroyed　42.what　43.powerful　44.parts

45．to clear　46.entered　47.lying　48.a　49.how

50．on

Ⅵ.【参考范文】

Fast food is very popular with people in China, especially the young. The reasons for its popularity are as follows.

Firstly, with the quick pace of life, fast food is really convenient and timesaving. People can save a lot of time and trouble with food ready made so that they can devote themselves to taking part in other activities. Secondly, the prices of fast food are reasonable and the service is excellent. However, it is not a kind of healthy food in terms of nutrition, because the nutrition in it is not well balanced.

In my opinion, people can have fast food when they are really in a hurry. If not, they had better have the traditional food.

Having a website is not enough today.In fact, for a website to be indexed by Google, it may take about a month. Even after this, it's not likely that it will appear on such engine rankings when a search is made. This is because there are millions of web pages that can be accessed at any given moment. Thus, they need to advertise website is more important than having a website.

Online advertising methods are very different from traditional ones. One of the methods to advertise website companies is use of banner ads. Companies use flash ads or banner ads placed in strategic locations around the web. However, the most common way of advertising today is the use of linkbuilding.

Inbound links link back to you while outbound links come from your website to other relevant sites.

Paid links can help if you have some extra cash to spare. Payperclick campaigns also go a long way in advertising website campaigns. Search engines like Google and Yahoo provide payperclick services based on the keyword used. Thus, ensure that you do careful research on keyword relevance before starting a payperclick campaign.

Good web design also plays an important role in not only attracting new clients but also maintaining them. Take time to design the website, your links, icons and look of the website.

Whenever anyone measures educational success, East Asian countries are always top scorers. But in a recent league table, a European country, Finland, was top of the class. South Korea was still in second place, though. Britain was at number 6.

In Korea the school day is longtypically 7 or 8 hours, followed by hours of private tutoring in the evenings. All_this_hothousing leaves Korean students so tired, they sometimes fall asleep in class next day. Worries about the effects of late night cramming (填鸭式) led the government to force cramming schools to close by 10 pm.Finnish children spend the least time in class in the developed world, often finishing just after lunch, with about one hour of homework a day. Private tuition is uncommon. The British and American school day is quite long in comparison, around 6 hours, and secondary school pupils do 2 or 3 hours of selfstudy a night.

The Korean education system, like many in Asia, is intensely competitive, with students even competing to get into the best cramming schools, to help them get ahead. Finnish education is far less cutthroat. Classes are all mixed ability, and there are no league tables. British schools again occupy the middle ground, with quite high levels of competition for places at university, and schools and universities battling to come top of league tables for everything from exam results to student satisfaction. Korea and Finland both do well, yet their education systems are so different.

However, there are some similarities in Korea and Finland. In those countries, teachers have high status in society, and education is very highly valued. Those attitudes can't change quickly. But it can be done. They might be the star pupils now, but until the 1970s, Finland's educational system was poor. Their thoroughly different approach to schooling has taken them to the top in just a generation.

5．The students spend the least time in school in ________.

A．the UK　　　　　　 B．Finland

C．the USA D．Korea

6．The underlined phrase “all this hothousing” in Paragraph 2 probably refers to ________.

A．private evening tutoring

B．selfstudy at home

C．longhour study

D．school study

7．From Paragraph 3, we can know that ________.

A．Finnish students are less stressed in study

B．there're also many cramming schools in Britain

C．students in Korea are the most competitive in Asia

D．British schools are less competitive than universities

8．According to the author, the key to improving education is ________.

A．the attitude B．the schooling time

C．star pupils D．new teaching approach

The problem with students using Google is not that the search leader is unable to offer useful educational content. It's that finding that content using simple search terms is a difficult art to master. But some educational companies and organizations aim to make it easier to find useful educational content among the Web. They are forming a working group to come up with more detailed criteria(标准)that could eventually be added into the search lines for Google, Bing, and Yahoo !

The project was encouraged by a joint move by those major search engines to help users do more effective Websearches. The idea behind the new education corporation is to determine a common “framework” for narrowing search results for education content—by subject area，or source type，or content type, or any number of possible criteria. The goal is also to persuade publishers of educational content to use a matching set of tags(分类)to help the search engines sort out their content more easily.

Search engines are used by college students, but they were not designed for them. This has been a subject of much handwringing (绝望) among professors, who worry that students are not finding the most reliable content on the Internet even if more and more content providers of good fame—textbook publishers, scholars, universities and many others—have been putting useful academic resources on the open Web.

Michael Johnson, a member who will be serving on a working group devoted to developing the framework over the next six months or so, said “The project is aimed at benefiting the publishers of educational content as much as students. ”

9. What may annoy students using Google to help them?

A．They can't search useful educational content at home.

B．Google doesn't provide valuable educational content.

C．It's hard to find educational content in simple and effective ways.

D．There are so many students searching the same using Google now.

10．To improve Web searches for students the working group will ________.

A．demand the major search engines offer more content

B．train more students to surf safely on the Internet

C．ask students to use more kinds of search engines

D．link better standards to the major search engines

11．What may publishers of educational content help in the joint move?

A．They should produce less educational content with better quality.

B．They can set standard tags to match with searched contents.

C．They may develop better searching software.

D．They will provide more educational content.

12．From the third paragraph we can see ________.

A．not all content providers of good fame offer reliable content

B．textbook publishers shouldn't put resources on the open Web

C．college professors don't believe in content on the

Internet

D．college students don't know how to use search engines

In no other time in history information, good and bad, has been spread as fast as today. Media just pushes out violence and cruelty and of course it will affect the minds of people watching. Internet has damaged the idea that love is something special and school social workers are busy teaching teenage boys how to behave in a relationship and girls to say no to things they do not want to do.

Quite a lot of studies have been made into the way children are affected by watching TV and other media such games with a high content of violence. In a young age children cannot differentiate themselves and their fantasies from the real world. By playing games that mixes reality with fantasy children learn about themselves and the world. In their games they also act out things they might be considering, their wishes and things they have been through. If a child is let to watch a lot of violence, not surprisingly, the child is very likely to play violent games. Acting out what they have been through is a normal way of trying out new concepts and form ideas about how to interact with other people. Also, up to certain age most children adore adults how ever good or bad they are. Children look upon these adults as role models and copy their behavior.

So what happens then if a child watches adults harm and kill each other in a movie or in a game? What adults do is usually OK to do, so what happens on the screen must be OK even if it looks strange and makes the child feel uneasy. Children become insecure and anxious.

13．Why are children easily affected by TV programs and games?

A．Because they easily ignore the directions from their teachers and parents

B．Because they can't tell reality from fantasy and like to act things out.

C．Because TV programs and games are more attractive than their lessons.

D．Because they cannot find their role models from the real world.

14．From the passage we can learn that ________.

A．most people are deeply pessimistic about their future

B．young children get in touch with much content of violence

C．educators fail to teach what is right and what is wrong

D．films on TV are too difficult for children to understand

15．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A．The Impact of Media on Children

B．Violence and Cruelty in Games

C．Our Worrying Future

D．Take Control of Children

Ⅵ.【参考范文】　

Recently a survey has been done on chatting online of senior middle school students in my school. They were asked which qualities they prefer the person to have when they are chatting. 15 percent of them like the person's moral quality；16 percent like the person's appearance; 12 percent care for the person's talent while the rest depend on feeling.

This survey shows that them many of the students don't choose the person carefully. What's worse, they may meet bad people or cheaters, so that they can be taken in.

Therefore, we should pick out the person carefully when chatting online. Meanwhile, we should be strict with ourselves and improve our ability of distinguishing people. Only in this way can we avoid being cheated by others.

Why do some parents tend to hold back their disabled children from experiencing life? Even when they are grown, the parents will not allow certain things to happen. It's true that they do have a certain amount of responsibility in protecting their severely disabled adult children, but at what point do they become overly protective?

Parents want to create a safe haven, a place where they know that nothing bad will happen to their beloved children. This seems to be a respectable and notable act in caring for a person with a disability, but it can have a side effect. When protecting their children from suspected hardships, not wanting anything bad to happen to them, they very well may be preventing good things from happening to them.

In life we all make mistakes, it is how we are able to grow and strengthen our character. Parents may feel that in certain instances their children will get hurt or mistreated in some way, so they build walls in their own minds convincing themselves of the need to shelter. However, the disabled, yes even the “severely disabled” deserve to make personal mistakes as well. Even more, they have the right to succeed.

Parents should do everything and anything within their power to see their disabled children lead a somewhat “normal”life. Parents should help their children，not hold them down. This could make them think they are unworthy and that their parents do not believe in them.

Whatever it may be, let them at least try. If they want to attend college, so be it.Parents should find out all they can, and be involved in every detail. If they want to date and someday marry, so be it. Don't shut them out and from bad or critical opinions about them just because you are afraid.Unite as a family and make it work.

5. What side effect will it have when the parents overprotect their disabled children?

A．Their children will never grow up in the future.

B．Their children will find no shelter when they grow up.

C．Their children will become less confident when facing troubles.

D．Their children will less likely meet with good things.

6. What attitude does the author hold towards the parents who overprotect their disabled children?

A．Supportive.　　 B．Objective.

C．Critical. D．Uninterested.

7．Which of the following arguments does the author agree with?

A．Personal mistakes won't help the disabled children succeed.

B．Parents shouldn't hold their disabled children back but help them.

C．Parents shouldn't let their disabled children lead a normal life.

D．Disabled children won't strengthen their character by mistakes.

8．The suggestions in the last paragraph imply that ________.

A．parents should be a bridge, not a brick wall

B．parents should act as their children's best friends

C．parents should encourage their children to get married

D．parents should live in harmony with their disabled

children

Nowadays women appear to have a positive image of themselves as safer drivers than men.

In a survey done for insurer MetLife,51% of women said they drive more safely. The evidence is on their side: Men are 3.4 times more likely than women to get a ticket for careless driving and 3.1 times as likely to be punished for drunk driving. “Women are on average less aggressive and more law abiding (守法的) drivers, which leads to fewer accidents，” the report says. However，not all male drivers share the same opinion. Of the men surveyed by MetLife, 39% claimed male drivers were safer. The findings did back them up on one point：automotive knowledge. The report showed that more men are familiar with current safety equipment such as electronic stability control, which helps prevent rollover accidents.

Auto safety unavoidably matters to money. Insurance companies focus on what classes of drivers have the lowest dollar amounts of claims, and for now, that mainly includes women. In general，women pay about 9% less for auto insurance than men. A study by the website Insweb also showed that auto insurance rates are lower for women in most states. Among individual states, women get the greatest advantage in Wyoming(where they pay 20% less), South Dakota and Washington，D. C. where their insurance costs are 16% lower.

“More than 11, 900 male drivers died in U. S. traffic accidents in 2009，compared with just under 4,900 women drivers，” according to the study. “Based on miles traveled, men died at a rate of 2.5 deaths per 100 million miles traveled, VS 1.7 deaths for women. ”

9．According to the study, female drivers ________.

A．are more aggressive while driving

B．are more interested in auto knowledge

C．are more likely to stick to driving laws

D．are more familiar with safety equipment

10．Insurance companies focus on female driver clients probably because they ________.

A．cause more accidents on the road

B．pay more money to the insurance companies

C．take the most part of the insurance clients

D．have the lowest amount of money on insurance claims

11．We can infer from the passage that ________.

A．men are 3.1 times more likely to get tickets than women

B．all women in the USA pay the same for their auto insurance

C．more female drivers die every year than male drivers

D．women are generally safer drivers than the opposite

gender

12．The writer mainly develops paragraphs by ________.

A．giving examples　　 B．making comparisons

C．drawing a conclusion D．presenting an argument

Ⅴ.　　I love camping. It's my favorite way to the summer vacation. Last year, my family and I went camping in the countryside. It was one of the most experiences I had had. We slept in a tent and went for a long walk every day. We over a fire and the food always tasted.For a whole week, I saw lovely mountain views breathed fresh air. At night, I heard the gentle wind blowing in the， and I felt so peaceful. It doesn't cost to camp，and I believe it's the best way to get close nature and enjoy its beauty.

Ⅵ.【参考范文】　

Recently we held a class meeting to discuss the problem of passersby crossing the street while the traffic light is red. As we can see, some passersby don't obey traffic rules and jaywalk frequently. This blocks traffic seriously affects drivers and causes accidents to happen, endangering the safety of passersby and drivers. In a word, jaywalking produces negative effects and does not help develop good social behavior.

It is really a pity to see all this in our society. To deal with the situation, the government has taken some measures. When caught jaywalking, the passersby are criticized so that they will become aware of the dangers of doing so, or they are fined on the spot. Sometimes the traffic police will report jaywalkers at their workplace and expose them to the public. However, it will take a long time to stop passersby from jaywalking. We should start from ourselves right now.

Wow，ladies! That is all I can say, I write this article with mixed emotions. Having Aiko the female robot around the house to help out could be either a blessing or a nightmare. If you are a working mother like me, then the idea of having a helping hand around would be a good thing. We working mothers dream about going home to find dinner on the table, a clean house and everything ready for the next day，that would be the perfect world.

Yet as always we women worry about being replaced，me included. Aiko has been created with special sensors (感应器) underneath her immediate“skin”cover. I believe her creator, Le Trung，has other motives(动机). Of course, he says it's not true. She doesn't complain, argue or talk back. She can carry on a conversation and help you with your math homework. She can tell you the weather outside and can speak in English and Japanese. She doesn't require any sleep nor does she complain about a headache or being tired. She can serve tea and give back massages. I'm sure some men out there would view her as the perfect woman or even“superwoman”. So with good reason I say having Aiko around could prove to be bad. As a woman and a wife，I worry about being replaced or even being compared to Aiko. How can you compete with someone or something so perfect like that?

Scientists have been trying to invent robots for a long time. There are many movies and books out there about robots. It looks like those crazy scientists are closer than we thought. Ladies, I think we are fighting a losing battle. So instead of trying to fight it，I guess we have no choice but to join them. Now where is my male robot? Hmm...I want him to look exactly like my Ken Barbie doll. Okay?

As the couple cycled to Florida and up to Montreal and then back to Vancouver，every day was an adventure.They got free meals in restaurants，and slept in people's yards.When they ran out of money，people gave them extra cash.Sometimes people gave away $50 or $100.

And like all good stories this one has a happy ending.On the way back to Vancouver，they stopped in Edmonton to visit Ted's relatives.During the visit，they got married.People tied ten cans and a “Just Married” sign to the back of their bikes.

Here's a new warning from health experts：sitting is deadly. Scientists are increasingly warning that sitting for long periods, even if you exercise regularly, could be bad for your health. And it doesn't matter where the sitting takes place—in the office, at school, in the car or before a computer or TV. Just the overall number of hours it takes counts. Several studies suggest people who spend most of their days sitting are more likely to be fat, have a heart attack or even die.

While health officials have issued (发布) guidelines advising on the least amounts of physical activity, they haven't suggested people try to limit how much time they spend in a seated position.

“After four hours of sitting, the body starts to send harmful signals，” said EkblomBak of the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences. She explained that genes controlling the amount of glucose (葡萄糖) and fat in the body start to shut down.

Even for people who exercise, spending long periods of time sitting at a desk is still harmful. Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization, said people who exercise every day but still spend a lot of time sitting might get more benefits if that exercise were spread across the day, rather than in a single hour.

Still in a study that tracked more than 17,000 Canadians for about a dozen years, researchers found people who sat more had a higher death risk, whether they exercised or not.

Experts said more research is needed to figure out just how much sitting is dangerous, and what might be possible to offset those effects.

“People should keep exercising because that has a lot of benefits，” EkblomBak said. “And when they're in the office, they should try to interrupt sitting as often as possible. ”

9．The underlined word “offset” in Paragraph 6 most probably means “________”．

A．turn to　　　 B．work out

C．get rid of D．make use of

10．Sitting too much is dangerous because it can ______.

A．make a person unable to exercise enough in a day

B．destroy the balance of glucose and fat the body

C．increase glucose and fat in the body

D．make a person become lazy

11. In the opinion of EkblomBak, when at work, you'd better have a rest by ________.

A．sending your friends emails

B．taking a walk around your office

C．chatting online or playing computer games

D．listening to music while sitting

12．Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?

A．Side Effects of Sitting Too Much

B．Don't Sit Too Much While Working

C．More and More People Sit Too Much

D．Sitting Too Much Could Be Dangerous

D

You may ride on your bicycle in a rush to get to school every morning. You may fight to get a bit of space on a bus or in the subway. You may also watch taxis crawl their way through traffic jams.

No matter where you are, all big cities around the world have traffic jams these days. But although they all have their problems, many cities also have a type of transport that has become a cultural icon (文化标识)．

In London to avoid the traffic above ground, people use the “underground”，also called the “tube”. The city has the oldest and most complicated underground railway system in the world and is the pride of many Londoners. With 12 lines and 275 stations across the city, the tube, is normally the quickest and easiest way of getting around London. In London, you are never far from a tube station.

New York is famous for its yellow cabs. They serve as a quick and easy way of getting across Manhattan, where the subway doesn't take you everywhere. Stopping a cab is easy; just stick out your arm like you do in any city. But，with over 12,000 yellow cabs in the Big Apple, they also cause traffic jams.

Since 1873 when the first cable car started public service, the slow and noisy vehicle has been a symbol of San Francisco. Although once damaged by a serious earthquake and challenged (挑战) by cars, it is never caught in traffic jams and provides better views than the subway.

But there are no such symbols in Los Angeles. If you visit you'd better rent a car. The city's public transportation is terrible. It can take hours to get across town by bus. The subway covers just a small part of the city center. The light rail line only runs between the Long Beach hotel area and the city center. That's why Angelenos love their private cars more than any other people in the world.

13．If you have a chance to London and want to avoid the traffic jams, you'd better ________.

A．ride vehicle　　　 B．take a taxi

C．use underground D．rent a car

14．People in Los Angeles like their private cars because of the following EXCEPT that ________.

A．the public transportation is terrible

B．it is not expensive to take a private car

C．the underground railway covers a small part of the city center

D．people have to spend hours getting across the Los Angeles by bus

15．The passage mainly tells us ________.

A．how big cities in the foreign countries keep on moving

B．how people in the city avoid the traffic jams

C．why London has the oldest and complicated subway

D．why people call New York the Big Apple

37．C　从上下文看，此处是转折关系。连接句子所以选but。

Dear_Sir，

I_am_a_student_of_Xinhua_High_School，openminded_and_enthusiastic.I_am_writing_to_request_the_chance_to_be_one_of_the_host_families_for_the_American_students.

My parents are in favor of my idea that I host an American student. We live in a beautiful community. Luckily, we have a spare bedroom for guests so that they can have private living space. What's more, I'm quite good at languages and we can communicate well in English.

If an American student stays with us, I'll be a good guide to some local places of interests which are famous in our area. Besides, my parents and I will help her/him to make Chinese meals, such as jiaozi, noodles, and other foods.

We have the confidence to make the American students fell at home and have some sweet memories.

Looking_forward_to_your_reply.
