Ⅱ.阅读(共两节，满分50分)

第—节 阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)

阅读下列短文，从26—45 题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑

( A )

I used to watch her from my kitchen window. She seemed so small as she muscled her way through the crowd of boys on the playground. The school was across the street from our home and I would often watch the kids as they played during break. I remember the first day I saw her playing basketball. I watched in wonder as she ran circles around the other kids. She managed to shoot jump shots just over their heads and into the net. The boys always tried to stop her but no one could. I began to notice her at other times, basketball in hand, playing alone.

One day I asked her why she practiced so much. Without a moment of hesitation she said, ―I want to go to college. The only way I can go is to get a scholarship. I am going to play college basketball. I want to be the best. My Daddy told me if the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.‖ Well, I had to give it to her—she was determined. I watched her through those junior high years and into high school. Every week, she led her school team to victory.

One day in her senior year, I saw her sitting in the grass, head in her arms. I walked across the street and sat down in the cool grass beside her. Quietly I asked what was wrong. ―Oh, nothing,‖ came a soft reply, ―I am just too short.‖ The coach told her that at 5’5‖ she would probably never get to play for a top ranked team—much less offered a scholarship—so she should stop dreaming about college. She was heartbroken and I felt my own throat tighten as I sensed her disappointment. I asked her if she had talked to her dad about it yet. She told me that her father said those coaches were wrong. They just did not understand the power of a dream. He told her that if she truly wanted a scholarship and that nothing could stop her except one thing — her own

attitude.

The next year, as she and her team went to the Northern California Championship game, she was offered a scholarship and on the college team. She was going to get the college education that she had dreamed of.

26．The author was probably the girl’s .

A．brother or sister

B．friend

C．mother

D．teacher

27．Why was the girl heartbroken?

A．She was considered too short to be a top player. B．Her coach stopped her training because of her height. C．She couldn’t be on a college basketball team. D．She wouldn’t be admitted by an ideal college. 28．We can learn from the passage that . A．her family wouldn’t like to pay her college fee B．her father forced her to play basketball in collage

C．being a top basketball player can win you a scholarship for college D．she wouldn’t like to turn to his father for help when in difficulty 29．Which word can best describe her father?

A．Encouraging.

B．Optimistic.

C．Stubborn. D．Cruel.

30．Which proverb best matches the story?

A．Practice makes perfect. B．Rome was not built in a day.

C．Where there is a will, there is a way. D．Pride comes before a fall.

(B)

Is early childhood education really necessary? Early childhood education primarily focuses on learning through playing to develop the child’s physical, sensory, communicational and social development．Early childhood education has become a concern of the government, who pushes poor children to be formally trained before they are old enough for kindergarten．

There are good reasons for the government to push early childhood education．Studies have shown that orphaned children who did not receive good care and education become developmentally delayed causing failure in school, and even in life．Further studies show that poor children who take part in Head Start programs are more prepared for school, less likely to end up in Special Education classes, and are less likely to receive public help or go to prison．

There are also negative parts to putting a child in formal education programs too early．Time Magazine online explains that ―the younger the child the less his chances of catching up with first-grade work．‖ I have personally witnessed many children of my generation who went to Head Start programs become frustrated and bored with school before they finished high school．Yet parents have been sure that the earlier the child starts school, the better off he or she is, so they push to start children earlier．

Actually while early formal education of poor children does show great gains in the early elementary years, studies also show that this head start is really a ―false start‖, as the gains are lost in middle and high school years．It seems that environment is a bigger factor on life’s success than early education．Head Start programs have not achieved its original goal in closing the achievement gap in poor and middle school children．Perhaps it is time to find other ways to close

that gap．

31. The purpose of the government valuing the early childhood education is ________． A．to develop the children’s communication

B．to give orphaned children good care and education C．to get the children prepared for the kindergarten D．to train the children formally and regularly

32. According to the studies, which of the following is True? A．Children with good early education may have a rich life． B．The orphaned children are usually unhappy in their life． C．Children without early education can do well at school． D．Head Start programs are helpful to the poor children．

33. ―the younger the child the less his chances of catching up with first-grade work．‖ suggests that _________．

A．the early childhood education is helpless to the child’s grade B．it is good for the young children to receive early education C．the early education can help the children follow the grade D．the younger the children are, the cleverer they will be

34. The author’s attitude toward the early childhood education is _________． A．puzzling B．negative C．indifferent D．approving 35. The main idea of the last passage is that __________． A．the early childhood education is very necessary B．Head Start programs have helped the children a lot C．environment is the most important to life’s success D．better ways should be found to help the poor children (C)

Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling．Recycling in the home is very important of course．However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need．We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place． The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005．It now makes up a third of a typical household’s waste in the UK．In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard． Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment．The UK, for example, is running out of it for carrying this unnecessary waste．If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect．Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy．The solution is not to produce such items in the first place．Food waste is a serious problem, too．Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example． But this is not just about supermarkets．It is about all of us．We have learned to associate packaging with quality．We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality．This is especially true of food. But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary．

There are signs of hope．As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realize just how much unnecessary materials are collecting．We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb．

36．What does the underlined phrase ―over-consumption‖ refer to? A．Using too much packaging． B．Recycling too many wastes． C．Making more products than necessary．D．Having more material than is needed． 37．The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show _______． A．the tendency of cutting household waste B．the increase of packaging recycling C．the rapid growth of super markets D．the fact of packaging overuse 38．According to the text, recycling ______． A．helps control the greenhouse effect B．means burning packaging for energy C．is the solution to gas shortage D．leads to a waste of land 39．What can be inferred from Paragraph 4? A．Unpackaged products are of bad quality．

B．Supermarkets care more about packaging． C．It is improper to judge quality by packaging D．Other products are better packaged than food． 40．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Fighting wastefulness is difficult． B．Needless material is mostly recycled． C．People like collecting recyclable waste．D．The author is proud of their consumer culture．

(D)

Research by Scotland Yard published in a London newspaper, has proved that knife crime in London is a serious non – white phenomenon, with 165 of the 225 under- 18s accused of knife crime in the past three months being from the black or other non – white groups．

According to Scotland Yard, only 60 of the 225 crimes were white．Despite being a small minority of the knife holding criminals, whites did, however, make up the single largest group of victims of knife crime．

According to the Scotland Yard report, whites made up 222 of the 637 victims of knife crime over the last three months．This number could probably be higher, as 292 victims were not identified by race．

This month Scotland Yard Deputy Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson suggested knife crime has replaced drug selling as the top concern for London police．

Sir Paul said so as he announced a specialist knife crime unit to deal with teenagers carrying knives in the capital．It will use a team of 75 specialist officers to find criminal group members and their supporters．

Detective Inspector, George Rhoden, president of the National Organisation of Black Law Enforcement Executives said, ―In the black community we have all noticed that there is major concern about gun and knife crime．Clearly we are not the only part of the community affected by the problem of children who have no fathers, but parental responsibility should be of major concern.‖

Around 59 percent of black Caribbean children and 54 percent of mixed – race youngsters are looked after by a parent．In the white British population, the number is 22 percent． 41．From the above, we can see that in knife crimes in London． A．there are more whites than Asians as victims

B．there are more blacks than whites as victims C．Asians make up the smallest group of criminals D．blacks make up the second largest group of criminals 42．What Sir Paul Stephenson said suggests that ． A．drug selling has replaced knife crime as the top concern for London police B．drug selling had been the top concern for London police in the past C．knife crime used to be the top concern for London police D．London police now pay no attention to drug selling

43．What measure has the government taken to deal with the problem of knifecrime?

A．Punishing the parents of teenagers carrying knives． B．Arresting the teenagers carrying knives． C．Forming a specialist knife crime unit．

D．Fining the teenagers carrying knives．

44．According to George Rhoden, which of the following factors contributes to so many young

blacks turning to crime? A．That they are poorly educated． B．That they are influenced by their fathers． C．That many of them come from incomplete families．

D．That their parents are too busy to take care of them．

45．Which of the following words can be used to fill in the blank in the last paragraph? A．lone B．loving C．busy D．lazy

第二节 信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应的选项涂黑。 以下是某个英语杂志有关专家对一些读者反映问题的建议： A. Feel Grateful! You say you’re thankful, but then dismiss your mom’s investment as an ―obligation‖. By today’s economic standards, what she did is virtually miraculous. Tell your mom plainly, over and over again, how grateful you are. I’m sure the complaining will begin to fade.

B. Tame the beast! When one boy discovers his inner caveman, he likes to initiate others into the tribe. Don’t over-worry. Boys will be boys. You and your husband should meet the boy’s parents down the street, suggesting a plan to either tame the wild beasts or limit their time together.

C. Good effort and goodwill makes it! Maybe there was a reason why your buddy was out of work. He’s taking advantage of you and your employer. Remind him how to act on the job. He owes good effort and goodwill if he accepts the pay. Tell him to be quiet or get away.

D. Calm down! Fast vehicles and wild people---sounds like adolescent dreams to me. As some men age, they

compensate with bigger, faster toys. But he’s putting you at risk and breaking the law. In a calm moment outside the car, tell him that he is scaring you. Suggest he join a car club, one that promotes safe driving.

E. Move your line away! You say you’re ―in the middle‖, but I’d say you’re dangerously close to slipping off the edge. There are lots of fish in the sea; why drop your line in waters your friend is still fishing?

F. Speak out and breathe easily together! You are rebuilding a relationship with new trust and affection. If there’s a bad odor left from the old day, you need to clear the air. Mention the problem, and say, ―I’m sorry for my part in that argument.‖ I’ll bet she’ll say the same.

以下是一些读者在生活中反映的问题。请匹配问题及对应的建议。

46. Allan: My friend Jim was out of work and I helped him find a job in my company. But recently I have found he is very lazy and doesn’t do his work well. Besides, he often tells me that our employer is too bad.

47. Mary: Cathy and I were good friends. But two years ago she moved and left me because we had an argument. Now I hear she has come back to this town and lives about a mile away. I hope to visit this old friend, but I really don’t know what to do.

48. Mrs. Green: My eight-year-old son used to be obedient. But recently he’s become wild and crazy like a barbarian and doesn’t want to stay at home. My husband and I get worried. Now I find he likes to play with another boy who is also a barbarian.

49. Mike: I live with my mother, who works night and day so that she can support my schooling. I’m grateful but sometimes I get even more annoyed because she seems to be always unsatisfied with me and complains about my faults.

50. Eileen: My friend Jim is a helpful young man, and he has taken me downtown in his car several times. But every time he drove his car so crazily that I felt horrible. ―I’ve got used to driving fast,‖ he says.

第二节 读写任务（共1小题，满分25分）

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

When you ask people what it means to relax, most will answer that relaxing is something you play to do later － you do it on vacation, when you retire, or when you get everything done. This means, of course, that most other time （95% of your life）should be spend nervous, restless, rushed, and mad. Could this explain why so many of us operate as if life were one great big emergency? Most of us put off relaxation until our ―in-basket‖ is empty. Of course, it never is.

It is useful to think of relaxation as a quality of heart that you can own on a regular basis rather than something reserved for some later time. You can relax now. It’s helpful to remember that relaxed people can still be super achievers and, in fact, that relaxation and creativity go hand in hand. When I’m feeling tired, for example, I don’t even try to write. But when I feel relaxed, my writing flows quickly and easily.

Being more relaxed includes training yourself to react differently to the drama of life. It comes, in part, from reminding yourself over and over again（with loving kindness and patience）that you have a choice in how you respond to life. You can learn to relate to your thinking as well as your situation in new ways.

[写作内容]

1. 概括短文的内容要点，该部分大约30词。

2. 就―中学生的周末该不该休闲、放松一些‖这个主题发表你的看法，至少包含以下的内容要点，该部分大约120词。

1）就你所在学校周末的上课情况作简单的介绍; 2）同学们对学校的这种做法的看法。 3）老师和家长对你校周末上课情况的看法; 4）你持什么态度。

[写作要求] 1．你可以使用实例或其它论述方法支持你的论点，也可以参照阅读材料的内容，但不要抄袭阅读材料中的句子。 2．信中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称。

After the publicity of the Sanlu contaminated milk powder issue, a survey was carried out among the 3, 000 students on \you still drink milk\in our school. The results are as follows. 55 percent of the students who participated in the survey give a positve answer, for they believe that the majority of milk products are reliable and can help people strengthen their body. Meanwhile, about one third of them express their doubts and refuse to drink any more milk in the future because of their loss of confidence in domestic milk and the fear of catching disease. The 13 percent left say that they won't make a decision before the results of the quality test are out.

任务型写作参考范文

From the passage, I’ve learnt that relaxation plays an important part in our daily life. People who feel relaxed, are more willing to do their job and do better in work or study, compared with the tired people, But for most of us, only when we have got everything done do we realize we should take a rest.

In my school, students are required to go to school on Saturdays, especially students of Senior Grade Three. So they have their own different opinions on it. Some students think that taking classes at weekends makes them much tired and bored, leaving them little time to do their own things. However, others hold the opposite opinion that as students of Senior Three, they should make full use of every minute to take in more and more to prepare for the entrance examination. And most of the teachers and parents are for the idea that students should have classes on Saturdays.They hope that the students can learn more by having classes at weekends. Some of the parents are worried that if their children don’t need to have classes at weekends, they will spend most of their time playing computer games or doing other useless things, which are not good for them.

As far as I’m concerned, no matter how busy we are, we should have suitable relaxation. For example, we can study in the evening and at night while playing or taking some exercise in the afternoon or at weekends. In this way, we will neither lose the time to study nor have no time to relax ourselves. What’s more, having suitable relaxation can help us prepare better for the following week’s work.

In a word, in order to face the hard work, I think students should have suitable relaxation at weekends.
