I had a French test 37 and knew that the examiner, Mr. Hutchison, would ask me about my career plans. I had to come up with something that was both credible and easily 38 into French. About six years earlier I truly had become 39 about the night sky, but to stand up and say, “Astronomie!” was not enough. Mr. Hutchison would want 40 . I recalled—a comet that had recently been discovered from Japan-one that 41 became the brightest of the 20th century. Without a further thought, I decided that I was going to be a 42 for comets. Not coincidentally, '

the English and French words for a comet (une comete) sound very 43, so my new occupation was 44 to talk about in French.

第三部分 阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A Peanuts to This

Proudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates wearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”

Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information

about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice: flip （掷） a coin. Heads—the commander, and tails—the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.

Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?

Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster’s office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!

56. Why was the author confused about the task? A. He was unfamiliar with American history．

B. He followed the advice and flipped a coin． C. He forgot his teacher’s instruction．

D. He was new at the school．

57. In the end, the author turned things around _______． A. by redoing his task B. through his own efforts C. with the help of his grandfather

D. under the guidance of his headmaster

B

Shiny things absorb less heat when left in the sun. This means that if the Earth could be made a little shinier it would be less likely to suffer global warming. Ways to brighten it, such as adding nanoscale specks（纳米级） of salt to low clouds, making them whiter, or putting a thin haze of particles into the stratosphere（平流层）, are the field of “geoengineering”（地球工程）. A small band of scientists which have mostly been using computer models to study the subject. Some of them are now proposing outdoor experiments—using seawater-fed sprayers to churn out particles of the exact size needed to brighten clouds, or scattering sulphur particles（硫粒子） from underneath a large balloon 20km up in the sky.

The scientists hope to understand some of the processes on which these technologies depend, as a way of both measuring their possibility (can you reliably make the proper amount of sea salt brighten clouds?) and assessing their risks (how much damage to the ozone layer might a stratospheric haze do, and how might such damage be minimized?). The experiments would be far too small to have any climatic effects. The amount of sulphur put into the stratosphere by the experimental balloon would be 2% of what a passenger jet crossing the Atlantic emits in an hour.

However, many scientists doubt whether geoengineering experiments have any effects. And some environmentalists say that such experiments reflect the hubris（傲慢）of humans, who believe they can toy with nature.

Geoengineering is not an alternative to relieving climate change by cutting carbon emissions. Even if emissions do start to fall, the cuts will lake decades to have any effect so temperatures are likely to go on rising for some time. The planet is not getting cooler and the pressures on the climate are unlikely to go away. It is therefore not too hard to imagine a world, decades from now, in which emissions are falling but temperatures are rising steeply and the ability to adapt to them has been stretched too far. An additional way to stabilize temperatures might then seem appropriate. Geoengineering offers that possibility.

58. The geoengineering climate experiment would hardly take any climate effect because . A. scientists aren't sure whether sea salt can brighten clouds B. geoengineering would minimize the damage to the ozone layer C. the amount of sulphur emitted by a balloon is very small D. a passenger jet emits much more sulphur than a balloon does 59. Even if carbon emission is reduced right away, . A. global warming will be relieved

B. climatic pressure will be removed D. global warming will last for years

C. the temperature will remain stable 60. We can infer from the passage that .

A. passenger jets are a major cause of global warming B. scientists don’t show due respect for the environment C. geoengineering is better than cutting carbon emissions D. cutting emissions isn't enough to relieve climate change

C

Tens of thousands of ancient pictures carved into the rocks at one of France’s most important tourist sites are being gradually destroyed. Scientists and researchers fear that the 36,000 drawings on rocks in Mont Bego in the French Alps are being damaged so rapidly that they will not survive for future generations.

The mountain, believed to have once been a site for prayer, is scattered with 4,000-year-old drawings cut into bare rock. They include pictures of cows with horns, cultivated fields and various gods and goddesses. But as the popularity of the site increases, the pictures are being ruined by thoughtless graffiti (涂鸦).

Jean Clottes is the chairman of the International Committee on Rock Art. He says, “People think that because the pictures have been there so long they will always continue to be there. But if the damage continues at this rate there will be nothing left in 50 years.”

He describes seeing tourists stamping on the drawings, wearing away the rock and definition of the artwork as they do so. Some visitors, he says, even cut off parts to take home as souvenirs. “When people think they can’t take a good enough photograph, they rub the drawings to get a clearer picture,” he said. “The drawings are polished by the weather, and if

the sun is shining and the visitors can’t see them properly they simply rub them to make them look fresher.” Other researchers describe how people arrive carrying long sticks with sharp ends to scratch their own drawings, or even their names, in the rocks.

But experts are divided over the best way to preserve the drawings. Henry de Lumley, director of the Museum of Natural History in Paris, believes that the only way to save the site is to turn the whole mountain into a “no-go” area, preventing the public from going there except on guided tours. Otherwise, he says, not only will the site be completely destroyed but important research work will be reduced.

Clottes disagrees, “The measure suggested by Henry de Lumley is the most severe, and while it is the most effective, it is also certain to bring about protests from people who live there,” he said. “The site was classified as a historic monument years ago by the Ministry of Culture, and we must do as much as possible to save what is there.”

David Lavergne, the regional architect, also wants to avoid closing the site. “Henry de Lumley’s idea isn’t ideal,” he said. “Our department feels that the best solution is to let people look at the site, but because the area is very big it is difficult to prevent visitors from damaging it. I would prefer that everyone was able to look at it, but the main problem is money. We do not have the funds to employ the necessary number of guards. We may have to consider charging a fee. It doesn’t seem to be possible to get the government support.”

In Nice, Annie Echassoux, who also worked on researching the site, is alarmed that as the mountain becomes easier to reach — tourists can now avoid the three-and-a-half-hour walk by hiring vehicles — the damage will increase rapidly. She thinks that the only solution is to rope off the area and provide guides. “You can’t say the plan can’t go ahead because there is no money,” she said. “That is not good enough. Money must be provided because the Ministry of Culture has classified this area as a historic site. If we don’t take steps, we will be responsible for losing the drawings for the next generation.”

61. Jean Clottes says that people who visit the mountain____.

A. do not believe the drawings are old. B. believe they are allowed to paint there C. think the drawings should be left alone D. think the drawings will not disappear 62. Henry de Lumley is eager to ____.

A. set up research projects B. protect public rights

C. keep out individual visitors D. ban traffic in the area 63. What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Mont Bego, scattered with gods and goddesses, is a place for worship. B The old drawings are being ruined mainly by natural forces. C. Currently, admission to the site with the old drawings is free.

D. Now tourists have easier access to the mountain due to public transport. 64. This passage about Mont Bego is intended to ____.

A. advertise the closing of the site B. warn visitors about the dangers of the site C. encourage scientists to visit the site D. describe fears for the future of the site

D

John Blanchard stood up from the bench, straightened his army uniform, and studied the crowd of people making their way through Grand Central Station. He looked for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn’t, the girl with the rose.

His interest in her had begun thirteen months before in a Florida library. Taking a book off the shelf he found himself intrigued, not with the words of the book, but with the notes penciled in the margin. The soft handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and insightful mind. In the front of the book, he discovered the previous owner’s name, Miss Hollis Maynell. With time and effort he located her address. She lived in New York City. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to correspond. The next day he was shipped overseas for service in World War II.

During the next year and one month the two grew to know each other through mail. Each letter was a seed falling on a fertile heart. A romance was budding. Blanchard requested a photograph, but she refused. She felt that if he really cared, it wouldn’t matter what she looked like.

When the day finally came for him to return from Europe, they scheduled their first meeting --7:00 PM at the Great Central Station in New York. “You’ll recognize me,” she wrote, “by the red rose I’ll be wearing on my lapel.” So at 7:00 he was in the station looking for a girl whose heart he loved, but whose face he’d never seen.

I’ll let Mr. Blanchard tell you what happened: A young woman was coming toward me,

and her figure long and slim. Her blonde hair lay back in curls from her delicate ears; her eyes were blue as flowers. Her lips and chin had a gentle firmness, and in her pale green suit she was like springtime come alive. I started toward her, entirely forgetting to notice that she was not wearing a rose. As I moved, a small, attractive smile curved her lips. “Going my way, sailor?” she murmured.

Almost uncontrollably I made one step closer to her, and then I saw Hollis Maynell. She was standing almost directly behind the girl. A woman well past 40, she had graying hair tucked under a worn hat. She was more than plump, her thick-ankled feet thrust into low-heeled shoes. The girl in the green suit was walking quickly away. I felt as though I was split in two, so keen was my desire to follow her, and yet so deep was my longing for the woman whose spirit had truly accompanied me and upheld my own.

And there she stood Her pale，plump face was gentle and sensible，her gray eyes had a warm and kindly twinkle. I did not hesitate. My fingers gripped the small worn blue leather copy of the book that was to identify me to her.

This would not be love, but it would be something precious, something perhaps even better than love, a friendship for which I had been and must ever be grateful. I squared my shoulders and saluted and held out the book to the woman, even though while I spoke I felt choked by the bitterness of my disappointment. I’m Lieutenant (中尉）John Blanchard，and you must be Miss Maynell. I am so glad you could meet me; may I take you to dinner?”

The woman’s face broadened into a tolerant smile. “I don’t know what this is about, son,” she answered, “but the young lady in the green suit who just went by, she begged me to wear this rose on my coat And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner, I should go and tell you that she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across the street She said it was some kind of test!”

It’s not difficult to understand and admire Miss Maynell's wisdom. The true nature of a heart is seen in its response to the unattractive, “Tell me whom you love,” Houssaye wrote, “And I will tell you who you are.”

65. The underlined phrase “intrigued” in Paragraph 2 means “______”.

A. satisfied with B. fascinated by C. encouraged by D. frustrated with 66. How did John Blanchard know of Miss Hollis Maynell?

A. They lived in the same city.

B. They were both interested in literature. C. John came across Hollis in a Florida library. D. John knew Hollis’s name from a library book. 67. Hollis refused to send Blanchard a photo because _____ . A. she bought true love is beyond appearance B. she wasn’t confident about her appearance C. she was only a middle-aged woman

D. she had never taken any photo before they knew 68. What was the real Miss Hollis Maynell like? A. She was a plump woman with graying hair. B. She was a slightly fat girl, with blonde hair C. She was a young, pretty girl wearing a green suit D. She was a middle-aged woman in her forties.

69. When Blanchard went over to greet the woman, he was_____ . A. disappointed but well-behaved B. excited and confident C. annoyed and bad-mannered

D. shocked but inspired

70. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. Don’t Judge a Book by its Cover

B. The Symbol of Rose

C. Love is Blind D. A Test of Love

Some people succeed, while others may not. This is because some people possess certain qualities that others do not.

The first thing you must remember is that in order to succeed, it is almost compulsory that you must be optimistic. You must have faith in yourself and in your ability to succeed, otherwise you are not very likely to win, or even to try.

Having proper motivation is not optional—it is another key to success. You need to work with every fibre of your being. When you really have a thirst for success, you put your

performance under the microscope to make sure that little thing you do works towards you goal.

Another quality that helps people succeed is the ability to do and think about things in new and different ways. Most successful people are not as conventional as the people around them. Where others see failure, they see possibility. Where others see a lack, they see a surplus. Where others see a closed door, they see an open window. They are more than just optimistic—they see the world in a different way than others do, and do things in a different way.

To become successful, you may find it important to read about successful people, to see how they have achieved success. The stories will encourage and inspire you as climb the ladder of success. While everyone’s path to success is different, many successful people have the same drive and the same qualities. While you may not be the next Bill Gates, for example, by learning form people like him you may become just as, if not more famous, because of your success.

Practicing is also just as important if you want to succeed, because practice makes perfect. Practice every day at whatever career you are in, and by doing so, you will see yourself and your business begin to grow. This will also help you feel confident about what you do, and make other people believe in you as well. Your colleagues will be happy to work with you, and your boss will give you more responsibility.

Finally if you are a successful person, you need to be able to look people in the eye and be honest.

Success is yours for the taking! Cheers! Title Topic Success Some people succeed, while others may not, (71) _________ is because some people possess certain qualities that others do not. ?

The fly answered, “I am attracted to whatever I see, hear or smell. My senses pull me constantly in all directions and I cannot resist them. What is your secret? How can you stay so calm and still?”

The elephant said, “My senses do not rule my attention. Whatever I do, I get involved in it. Now that I am eating, I am completely absorbed in eating. In this way I can enjoy my food and chew it better. I rule and control my attention. When you are in charge of your senses and

An elephant was constantly disturbed by a restless fly, who wondered about the secret of remaining calm. The elephant revealed that calmness would be obtained when one’s senses and attention were focused. (32词)

Inspired by what the elephant said, I realized the ability to focus one’s attention is the key to success. Any person, if easily distracted, is unable to achieve his success.

This reminds me of what happened in my primary school. I once signed up for too many various after-class activities. As a result, I didn’t spend enough time on my studies. Consequently, I fell behind and failed in exams….

Since then I know that one should focus on one thing before it is well done. As a Senior Two student, having set a clear goal, I will give priority to it, trying to resist any temptation. I’m fully aware that only with a determined mind can I achieve my goal.
