　　D

　　It was a Sunday morning, and I was in a terrible mood. Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadn’t invited me. I was in my room thinking of ways to make them sorry when my father came in. “Want to go for a ride, today, Beck? It’s a beautiful day.”

　　“No! Leave me alone!” Those were the last words I said to him that morning.

　　My friends called and invited me to go to the mall with them a few hours later. I forgot to be mad at them and went. I came home to find a note on the table. My mother put it where I would be sure to see it. “Dad has had an accident. Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital”.

　　When I reached the hospital, my mother came out and told me my father’s injuries were extensive. “Your father told the driver to leave him alone and just call 911, thank God! If he had moved Daddy, there’s no telling what might have happened. A broken rib (肋骨) might have pierced (穿透) a lung....”

　　My mother may have said more, but I didn’t hear. I didn’t hear anything except those terrible words: Leave me alone. My dad said them to save himself from being hurt more. How much had I hurt him when I hurled (憤慨地說(shuō)出) those words at him earlier in the day?

　　It was several days later that he was finally able to have a conversation. I held his hand gently, afraid of hurting him.

　　“Daddy... I am so sorry....”

　　“It’s okay, sweetheart. I’ll be okay.”

　　“No,” I said, “I mean about what I said to you that day. You know, that morning?”

　　My father could no more tell a lie than he could fly. He looked at me and said, “Sweetheart, I don’t remember anything about that day, not before, during or after the accident. I remember kissing you goodnight the night before, though.” He managed a weak smile.

　　My English teacher once told me that words have immeasurable power. They can hurt or they can heal. And we all have the power to choose our words. I intend to do that very carefully from now on.

　　A. his father had a terrible accident

　　B. he couldn’t drive to the mall with his friends

　　A

　　Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants.

　　Sometimes, the word green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet ripe or finished. For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, who is new to a situation. In the fifteenth century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns(角) had not yet developed. A century or so later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battle. By the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job. [

　　Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. The expression comes from the early nineteen hundreds. A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.

　　The Green Revolution is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. The new plants produced much larger crops. The Green Revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs.

　　Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling, jealousy(嫉妒). The green-eyed monster is not a frightening creature from outer space. It is an expression used about four hundred years ago by British writer William Shakespeare in his play “Othello”. It describes the unpleasant feeling a person has when someone has something he wants. A young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else. Or, that green-eyed monster may affect your friend if you get a pay rise and she does not.

　　56. Greenhorn now refers to ____.

　　A. a person who is new in a job B. a new solider

　　Natural ways of keeping time

　　In ancient times, people had to use the sun and the moon to tell time. They got up when the sun came up and worked in the fields until the sun went down.

　　Man-made things

　　The sand clock is made of two glass balls joined by a narrow neck. The top ball was filled with sand. The sand slowly moved through the neck into the bottom ball. People knew how much time had passed when all the sand had fallen to the bottom ball.

　　People also made the water clock. They made a small hole near the bottom of a pot. Then they filled the pot with water. Markings inside the pot showed how much time passed as the water dripped (滴) out of the hole.

　　Nature’s Clocks in Living Things

　　◆Animals’ Body Clock

　　Animals do not need clocks to know time. They have a way of telling time by their bodies. Birds know when to fly to warmer places before winter. Some animals know when to keep more food for the cold winter months. Some fish know when it is time to move up the river and lay eggs.

　　◆Plants have their own clocks

　　Plants also have their own clocks to keep time. Plants know when to open flow¬ers or when to drop their leaves.

　　◆The Body Clock in Human Beings

　　People also have their own body clocks. When we get used to our lives, our body clocks can be very accurate (準(zhǔn)確的). It can tell us when it is time to wake up. It can also tell us when to eat or to go to sleep.

　　59. How could an ancient farmer know when to go back home in the daytime?

　　Millions of youngsters across Europe could suffer permanent hearing loss after five years if they listen to MP3 players at too high a volume for more than five hours a week, EU scientists warned.[

　　The scientists’ study, requested by the European Commission, attacked the concept of “leisure noise,” saying children and teenagers should be protected from increasingly high sound levels---with loud mobile phones also coming in for criticism(批評(píng)).

　　“There has been increasing concern about exposure from the new generation of personal music players which can reproduce sounds at very high volumes without loss of quality,” the Commission, the EU’s executive arm, said in a statement.

　　“Risk for hearing damage depends on sound level and exposure time,” it said. More and more young people were exposed to the great threat(威脅)that leisure noise posed to hearing, it said.

　　Commission experts said that between 50 and 100 million people listen to portable music players on a daily basis.

　　If they listened for only five hours a week at more than 89 decibels(分貝), they would already be beyond EU limits for noise allowed in the workplace, they said. But if they listened for longer periods, they risked permanent hearing loss after five years.

　　The scientists calculated the number of people in that risk category at between five and 10 percent of listeners, meaning up to 10 million people in the European Union.

　　Sales of personal music players have soared in EU countries in recent years, particularly of MP3 players.

　　"I am worried that so many young people ... who are frequent users of personal music players and mobile phones at high acoustic levels, may be unknowingly damaging their hearing ," she said in the statement.

　　62. Which of the following can be the best title of the article?

　　A. Youngsters across Europe: suffer permanent hearing loss.

　　B. MP3 players: sell best but do harm to youngsters

　　C. The scientists’ study: requested by the EU

　　D. EU warns youth: turn your MP3 players down!

　　63. This passage is most likely to be taken from a _________.

　　A. textbook B. medical report

　　C. teen magazine D. governmental newspaper

　　64. The underlined part in the forth paragraph most probably means________.

　　A. were uncovered B. felt C. realized D. were faced with

　　65. From the passage we know that________.

　　A. besides the high sound levels, scientists also criticized loud mobile phones.

　　B. if one listened for 5 hours more a week at 100 decibels, he would risk permanent hearing loss.

　　C. it is only the level of the sound that can do damage to hearing.

　　D. the scientists said there were 5-10 percent of MP3 listeners risking hearing loss around the world.

　　第三節(jié)：任務(wù)型閱讀(共10小題;每小題1分，滿分10分)

　　請(qǐng)認(rèn)真閱讀下列短文，并根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~。

　　注意：每空一詞。

　　It is an all too familiar story. A natural disaster strikes in a remote part of the world, causing destruction and suffering. Villages are flattened and people are forced into camps. It is now happening in China, after the earthquake of magnitude(里氏)8 that was centered on Wenchuan but shook the entire country.

　　Actually, in the past centuries, there were hundreds of thousands of earthquakes in different parts of the world. In Sept. 1923, Tokyo and Yokohama were both destroyed by an earthquake and the fires that followed it. They had to be completely rebuilt. One of the most serious earthquakes was in China’s Shanxi Province in 1556. It claimed almost one million people.

　　We measure an earthquake’s strength on the Richter scale. The Richter scale was introduced in 1935 in Southern California in the USA. It measures earthquakes on a scale of one to ten. Any earthquake measuring five or more is usually serious.

　　The earth’s crust (地殼) is made up of layers of rock called plates. As these plates move, they sometimes crash against each other, causing the crust to quake. In cities such as Tokyo, where small quakes happen quite often, many modern buildings are designed to be flexible so when the earth moves, they move with it.

　　Earthquakes can also break up gas or oil pipes. This can cause fires to break out, which can do as much damage as the earthquake itself.

　　Another effect of the earthquakes is tsunamis (海嘯). These are huge waves created by earthquakes beneath the sea. They can be many meters high and cause great damage to costal towns and cities.

　　China, Japan, Russia and the USA have the highest occurrence of earthquakes in the world.

　　Knowing about (1) _______ Two serious earthquakes in (2)________ An earthquake and the (3)__________ fires destroyed both Tokyo and Yokohama in Sept. 1923.

　　In 1556, a very serious earthquake (4) ___________ in China’s Shanxi Province, killing large numbers of people.

　　The (5)_________ to measure an earthquake’s strength People can measure an earthquake’s strength on the Richter scale of one to ten, introduced in 1935 in the USA. If an earthquake (6)________ five or more, it is usually serious.

　　The (7)__________of earthquakes As the plates, which (8)_______ the earth’s crust, move, they sometimes crash against each other, causing the crust to quake.

　　Some (9)_________of earthquakes If earthquakes break up gas or oil pipes, (10)_______ will happen, which can do as much damage as the earthquake itself.

　　Tsunamis.

　　By 2050

　　Futurologists(未來(lái)學(xué)家)predict that life will probably be very different in 2050.

　　TV channels(頻道)will have disappeared. Instead, people will choose a program from a “menu” and a computer will send the program directly to the television. Today, we can use the World Wide Web to read newspaper stories and see pictures on a computer thousands of kilometers away. By 2050, music, films, programs, newspapers, and books will come to us by computer.

　　Cars will run on new, clean fuels and they will go very fast. Cars will have computers to control the speed and there won’t be any accidents. Today, many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are. By 2050, the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination. Space planes will take people halfway around the world in 2 hours. Today, the United States Space Shuttle can go into space and land on Earth again. By 2050, space planes will fly all over the world and people will fly from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just 2 hours.

　　Robots will have replaced people in factories. Many factories already use robots. Big computers prefer robots—they don’t ask for pay rises or go on strike, and they work 24 hours a day. By 2050, we will see robots everywhere—in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.

　　Medical technology will have conquered many diseases. Today, there are devices(設(shè)備)that connect directly to the brain to help people hear. By 2050, we will be able to help blind and deaf people to see and hear again.

　　Scientist will have discovered how to control genes(基因). Scientists have already produced clones(克隆)of animals. By 2050, scientists will be able to produce clones of people, and decide how they look, how they behave and how clever they are. Scientists will be able to do these things, but should they?

　　59. According to the passage, the following can be realized today EXCEPT __________.

　　A. reading newspapers on a computer

　　B. making a space shuttle go into space and land on Earth again

　　A year ago, August, Dave Fuss lost his job driving a truck for a small company in west Michigan. His wife, Gerrie, was still working in the local school cafeteria, but it was hard for Dave to find work, and the price of everything was rising. The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years. Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift—,000, a legacy(遺產(chǎn)) from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch, who died in an accident. “It really made a difference when we were meeting difficulty .”says Dave.

　　But the Fusses weren’t the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive unexpected legacy from the Hatches. Dozens of other families were touched by what the Hatches had done. In some cases, it was a few thousand dollars; in others, it was more than 0,000.

　　It surprised nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money, more than million—they were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm.

　　Children of the Great Depression, Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of saving. They preferred comparison shopping and would go from store to store, checking prices before making a new purchase.

　　Through the years, the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camps when their parents couldn’t afford it. “Ish and Arlene never asked if you needed anything,” says their friend Sandy Van Weelden, “They could see things they could do to make you happier, and they would do them.”

　　Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches gave away their farmland. It was the Hatches’ wish that their legacy—a legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and cents—should enrich the whole community and last for generations to come.

　　Neighbors helping neighbors—that was Ish and Arlene Hatch’s story.

　　63. According to the text, the Fusses __________.

　　A. were employed by a truck company B. led a difficult life

　　C. worked in a school cafeteria D. lost their home

　　64. What can we learn about the Hatches?

　　A. They had their children during the Great Depression.

　　B. They left the old house to live on their family farm.

　　C. They gave away their possessions(財(cái)產(chǎn))to their neighbors.

　　D. They helped their neighbors to find jobs.

　　65. Why would the Hatches go from store to store?

　　A. They decided to open a store. B. They wanted to save money.

　　C. They couldn’t afford expensive things. D. They wanted to buy gifts for local kids.

　　66. What Sandy Van Weelden said mainly tells us that the Hatches were __________.

　　A. understanding B. kind C. childlike D. wealthy

　　D

　　All the wisdom of the ages and all the stories that have delighted mankind for centuries are easily and cheaply available to all of us within the covers of books, but we must know how to get the most from this treasure. The most unfortunate people in the world are those who have never discovered how satisfying it is to read good books.

　　I am most interested in people and in finding out about them. Some of the most outstanding people I’ve met existed only in a writer’s imagination, then on the pages of his books, and then, again, in my imagination. I’ve found in books new friends, new society, and new world.

　　Reading is the pleasure of the mind, which means that it is a little like a sport: your eagerness and knowledge and quickness make you a good reader. Reading is fun, not because the writer is telling you something, but because it makes your mind work. Your own imagination works along with the author’s or even goes beyond his. Your experience, compared with his, brings you to the same or different conclusions, and your ideas develop as you understand his.

　　Every book stands by itself, like a one-family house, but books in a library are like houses in a city. Although they are separate, together they all add up to something. They are connected with each other and with other cities. The same ideas, or related ones, turn up in different places; the human problems that repeat themselves in life repeat themselves in literature, but with different solutions according to different writings at different times. Books influence each other; they link the past, the present and future and have their own generations, like families. Wherever you start reading, you connect yourself with one of the families of ideas, and in the long run, you not only find out about the world and the people in it; you find out about yourself, too.

　　Reading can only be fun if you expect it to be. If you concentrate on books somebody tells you “you ought to” read, you probably won’t have fun. But if you put down a book you don’t like and try another till you find one that means something to you, and then relax with it, you will almost certainly have a good time—and if you become, as a result of reading, better, wiser, or kinder, you won’t have suffered during the process.

　　67. What kind of people are the most unfortunate in the writer’s eyes?

　　A. Those who only know how to get the most from his books.

　　B. Those who exist only in a writer’s imagination.

　　C. Those who don’t know the delight reading brings them.

　　D. Those who differ from the writer in conclusions.

　　68. The writer thinks reading is fun, because reading __________.

　　A. can make us a good reader B. makes our mind work

　　C. can save our time D. makes us relaxed

　　69. The underlines phrase “turn up” in Paragraph 4 means “__________”.

　　A. have great fun B. find C. face another way D. appear

　　70. What would be the best title for the text?

　　A. The Pleasure of Reading B. The Ways of Reading

　　C. The Imagination of Reading D. The Results of Reading

　　When we think about giving help to developing countries, we often think about giving money so that these countries can build schools and hospitals, buy food and medicine, or find clean water supplies. These seem to be the most important basic needs of the people we are trying to help. However, it’s far from enough. Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve got to come up with some better ideas to help them.

　　I was very surprised, then, when I read about a plan to make cheap laptop computers for children in developing countries. A man called Nicholas Negroponte invented a cheap laptop computer, which can run without electricity. He decided to invent this computer after he visited a school in Cambodia.

　　The laptop which Mr. Negroponte has designed is a little different from the normal laptop computers you can buy in the shops. One difference is that it will be covered in rubber so that it is very strong and won’t be damaged easily. As an electricity supply can be a problem in developing countries, the computer also has a special handle(把手)so that children can wind(搖)the computer up to give it extra power when needed.

　　These special laptop computers will cost less than 100 US dollars and Mr. Negroponte wants to build as many as 15 million machines in the first year of production. The idea is that these computers will help the children’s education as they will be able to access the Internet. These computers might not help the people in developing countries immediately, but by improving children’s education they should help people to find their own solutions to their problems in the long term.

　　Another idea to help children in developing countries is to recycle old mobile phones so that they can be used again. In the UK, and, probably in many other countries too, millions of mobile phones are thrown away every year. The waste created by throwing away these old phones is very bad for the environment, so it seems to be an excellent idea to recycle them. In this way we will be able to achieve two important goals at the same time. We will reduce the waste we produce and help others. In other words, we will be able to “kill two birds with one stone”, and that is always a good thing.

　　(A)

　　I’m a 20-year-old boy, and the following is my story.

　　A month after I graduated from high school in August, 2007, I was coming home from swim practice in the training centre of the city and was involved in a car accident. I was so seriously injured that I was in a coma for more than two months at Prince Georges Hospital.

　　I suffered a lot from the experience of dying eight times during my coma and I couldn’t open my mouth to talk or to communicate when I eventually came around. At that time, it seemed that walking was never going to happen again due to all the extreme injuries. Just like my body, my dreams were completely destroyed. But I was not going to let my injuries stop me from realizing my dreams.

　　After receiving a total of 15 operations and 36 blood transfusions, I had to make every great effort to learn to talk, eat, walk, shower, and live on my own again. When I was out of hospital, I still had to go to outpatient therapy in Waldorf, Maryland. After I spent a few months in a wheelchair, I took baby steps to walk on my own. It was a miracle that I was able to walk again, but I still wanted to prove that I could not only walk, but also run. When it came true, I wanted to get back into the pool again. After having a few lung tests, I was able to go in the pool a little bit each week. After a few months of swim training, I began my freshman year at St. Mary’s College of Maryland and then became a proud member of the swim team.

　　By telling my story, I want to make a positive influence on the world. I am just trying to live each day to the fullest and inspire other people never to give up their dreams no matter how bad a situation is to them. I remember when I was still in my hospital bed, I would have my mom and dad push me round in my wheelchair to the other rooms to see the other patients and chat with them and their family members. I wanted to let them know that everything was going to be okay. Somehow, things would work out for the best.

　　Accidents happen almost daily. Some accidents are minor and some are serious but others may be fatal. We read about such accidents nearly every day in the newspapers. It is wrong for people to think that accidents occur only on the roads or highways, or even at worksites. Home accidents are just as common. Because very few home accidents are reported, people tend to think that there are few accidents which happen in homes.

　　There have been many cases where people fall to their deaths from high-rise flats. Children often fall from staircases while coming down the stairs. Old people may slip on wet or slippery floors if they are not careful.

　　Nowadays there are a lot of modern electrical appliances such as rice-cookers, electric irons, and kettles which make life easy for the modern housewives. These appliances can kill if they are not used in the proper way.

　　Gas stoves used for cooking are also dangerous if they are not properly handled. They may cause burns or, in more serious cases, they may even cause fires.

　　But all such accidents can be prevented if we are careful and obey simple rules of safety. For example, it is unwise for people to try repairing their own electrical appliances if they do not know how. It is safer for them to get their faulty appliances repaired by a qualified electrician.
