A
When Alice was sixteen, I was the one who wanted to run away from
home. It was 16 to see the changes coming over her. She skipped
school, and refused to communicate. I tried being firm, but it
didn‘t 17. I saw a dark future for my once sweet
daughter.
One school day Alice returned
home very late. With a quarrel in view. I was surprised to see Alice
was 18.
“I hope I did the right thing, Mom,”“Alice
said. I saw a cat, all bloody but alive. I 19 it to the
vet’s(宠物医院),
and was asked to make payment 20 . As I couldn’t reach
anyone at the phone number on the cat’s tag(标牌),
I had to pay the bill.”
In the
following days, the owner still couldn’t be 21. Alice
paid the vet to continue treatment. I grew 22: what if the
family had simply left the cat behind?
A week went by. A woman called to speak to Alice.
“She is
at school,” I said.
“You have a 23 daughter,”
she said, apparently in tears.
Her
family had just returned from abroad, and got a (n) 24 from the
vet. Their cat was recovering, thanks to Alice’s 25. “We
can’t wait to hug Cuddles again,” she sobbed.
Upon her return home, Alice was filled with 26 at the news. So
was I. I learned through another woman’s eyes that my daughter
was still a good person despite her 27 teenage years. Her warm
heart would surely guide her in the right direction.

三、阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分，满分40分)
请阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、c和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项的标号涂黑。
A
At
thirteen, I was diagnosed（诊所）
with kind of
attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone
else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.
In my
first literature class, Mrs.Smith asked us to read a story and then
write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and
said,“Mrs.Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention
problems. I might not be able to do it.”
She glanced
down at me through her glasses, “you are no different from your
classmates, young man.”
I tried, but I didn’t finish
the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.
In the
quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me.
It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when
the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t
give up. Instead, h invented a reading system of raised dots（点）,
which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.
Wasn’t
I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the
“sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen
started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I
was no different from others; Ijust needed a quieter place. If Louis
could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?
I
didn’t expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs.Smith,
so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day- with
an“A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these
words:“ See what you can do when you keep trying?”
36.The
author didn’t finish the reading in class because.
A.He
was new to the class B.He was tried of
literature
C.He had an attention disorder D.He
wanted to take the task home
【答案】C

was Mrs.Smith ‘s attitude to the author at the end of the
story?

D.Everyone needs a hand when faced with

A篇难度：简单
本文为记叙文，讲述了作者有注意力不集中的问题，但在老师的鼓励下，作者最终克服了自己的问题，由此告诉我们一个人可以通过努力克服自己的缺陷。
B
In
ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract
customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment.
Modern businesses have been following his lead,with more
tactics（策略）.
One
tactic involves where to display the goods. Foe example, stores place
fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers
who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy
more junk food（垃圾食品）later
in their trip. In department stores, section is generally next to the
women’s cosmetics(化妆品)
section：while
the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored
customers are likely to wander over cosmetics they might want to try
later.
Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers’
senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages
shopping, they make their own bread each morning and then fan the
bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods,
too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played,
sales of French wine went up.
When it comes to the selling
of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find
that customers make decision in the first few second upon walking in
the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California
builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering
the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the
windows, and then the poll through an open stairway leading to the
lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell
these $10 million houses.
40.Why do stores usually display
fruits and vegetables in the first section?
A. To save customers
times.
B. To show they are high quality foods.
C. To help
sell junk food.
D. To sell them at discount
prices.
【答案】C
【考点】细节题
41.According
to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to
buy?
A. Opening the store early in the morning.
B.
Displaying British wines next to French ones.
C. Inviting
customers to play music.
D. Filling the store with the smell of
fresh bread.
【答案】D
【考点】细节题
42.What
is the California builder’s story intended to prove?
A.
The house structure is a key factor customers consider.
B. The
more costly the house is, the better it sells.
C. An ocean view
is much to the customers’ taste.
D. A good first
impression increases sales.
【答案】D
【考点】细节题
43.What
is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To explain how businesses
turn people into their customers.
B. To introduces how
businesses have grown from the past.
C. To report researches on
customer behavior.
D. To show dishonest business
practices.

Why
not give it a try? Perhaps you should take lessons on a
musical
instrument. The late musician DennisBrian is said to have
asked
a fellow train passenger to turn off his radio. When his
request
was refused, he took out his French horn(号)
and started
to practice.

I don’t see how musical instruments can help
improve manners in public. Don’t do to others what you wouldn’t
like to be done to yourself. Once, a passenger next to me talked out
loud on his mobile phone. I left my seat quietly, giving him some
privacy to finish his conversation. He realized this and apologised
to me. When his phone rang again later, he left his seat to answer
it. You see, a bit of respect and cooperation can do the job
better.

There
are many places to go on safari（观赏野生动物）in
Africa, but riding a horse through the flooded waters of Botswana's
Okavango Delta must rank as one of the world's most exciting wildlife
journeys.
Several safari camps operate as the base for this
adventure, providing unique rides twice a day to explore deep into
the delta. The camps have excellent horses, professional guides and
lots of support workers. They have a reputation for providing a great
riding experience.
The morning ride, when the guides take you to
beautiful, shallow lakes full of water lilies, tends to be more
active. It is unlike any other riding experience. With rainbows
forming in the splashing water around you and the sound of huge drops
of water bouncing off your body and face. It is truly exciting. You
are very likely to come across large wild animals, too. On horseback
it is possible to get quite close to elephants, giraffes and many
other animals. The sense of excitement and tension levels rise
suddenly though, as does your heart rate, as you move closer to
them.
In the evening, rides are usually at a more relaxed and
unhurried pace. With golden light streaming across the grassy delta
and the animals coming out to eat and drink. Sedate though they are,
rides at this time of day are still very impressive. As the sun's
rays pass through the dust kicked up by the horses, the romance of
Africa comes to life.
Back at the camp you can kick off your
boots and enjoy excellent food and wine. Looking back on your day,
you will find it hard to deny that a horseback Safari is as close as
you will ever come to answering the call of the wild.

本文说明文，介绍了非洲观赏野生动物的野营的项目。
E
The
values of artistic works, according to cultural relativism(相对主义),
are simply reflections of local social and economic conditions. Such
a view, however, fails to explain the ability of some works of art to
excite the human mind across cultures and through centuries.
History
has witnessed the endless productions of Shakespearean plays in every
major language of the world. It is never rare to find that Mozart
packs Japanese concert halls, as Japanese painter Hiroshige does
Paris galleries, Unique works of this kind are different from today’s
popular art, even if they began as works of popular art. They have
set themselves apart in their timeless appeal and will probably be
enjoyed for centuries into the future.
In a 1757 essay, the
philosopher David Hume argued that because“the general
principles of taste are uniform(不变的)
in human nature,”the value of some works of art might be
essentially permanent. He observed that Homer was still admired after
two thousand years. Works of this type, he believed, spoke to deep
and unvarying features of human nature and could continue to exist
over centuries.
Now researchers are applying scientific methods
to the study of the universality of art. For example, evolutionary
psychology is being used by literary scholars to explain the
long-lasting themes and plot devices in fiction. The structures of
musical pieces are now open to experimental analysis as never before.
Research findings seem to indicate that the creation by a great
artist is as permanent an achievement as the discovery by a great
scientist.
52.According to the passage, what do we know about
cultural relativism?
A.It introduces different cultural
values.
B.It explains the history of artistic works.
C.It
relates artistic values to local conditions.
D.It excites the
human mind throughout the world.

Learning
that you are organizing this activity to share books worldwide, I am
writing to apply for it for the simple reason that I love reading and
I own a large number of books.
You’ve introduced two
ways to share books: wild release and controlled release. Of the two,
the latter wins my favor. By the means of controlled release, I only
need to deliver books to other participants, not only are books
shared but it can build up a bridge connecting readers from different
parts of the world as well.
If you could provide more specific
information, I would be well grateful. Looking forward to your
reply.
