One is not born able to speak a language．One is born able to make a noise．I have heard babies cry in America and in China．I can’t tell any difference．But when I hear someone from America speak English and hear someone speak Chinese, I can tell you there are a lot of differences.

I believe a common(普遍的) problem with Chinese students’ learning English is that they were not taught to think in English．They have an idea spoken in English and want to translate the idea into Chinese, then they think in Chinese of the proper reply and translate it into English．After a long period of speaking the language, one begins to think in the foreign language naturally．You will learn faster if you begin to think in English at the very beginning of your study．Many students ask me: What can I do to improve my spoken English?

My reply is: The more English you speak, the better English you will speak．There are many things you can do to improve your spoken English．Of course, the best way is to live where English is spoken as a language of the country.

40．The cries of American and Chinese babies are _______. A．different C．not like each other

B．the same D．like each other

41．The underlined sentence (in Paragraph 2) means that______.

D．English teachers

The new high speed railway line between Urumqi, capital of the Xinjiang Uygur self-governing region, and Lanzhou, capital of Gansu province, has cut train travel time by half to less than 12 hours.

The dramatic improvement will benefit many families planning reunions for Spring Festival. \a high speed train in Urumqi with six members of his family.

The 35 year old left Lanzhou to set up a dry fruit business in Xinjiang eight years ago, and he has now settled in Urumqi.

The 1,776 km line, which passes through Qinghai province and is the country's first high speed railway built in a high altitude region, came into service on Dec 26.

\tickets for the whole family during the peak season,\dangerous sometimes, so one year we even decided not to go back to Lanzhou simply to avoid the trip.

6

More than 600,000 passengers traveled on the line during its first month, and the Urumqi Railway Bureau said the introduction of high speed services will ease transport pressure during the Spring Festival peak season.

The existing usual railway line could no longer support Xinjiang's development. All passenger trains will gradually shift to the new link, leaving the old one to be used for goods. As a result, Xinjiang's annual goods ability could reach 200 million metric tons from the current 70 million.

The line passes through areas that experience high winds, and it also crosses parts of the deserted Qinghai Tibet Plateau and the bone dry sands of the GobiDesert.

The project could help China to promote its high speed railway technology abroad, said Ma Xizhang, director of the Lanzhou Xinjiang railway project's management department in Xinjiang.

44． How long did it take to go from Urumqi to Lanzhou by the usual train before? A. about 12 hours. B. About 6 hours. C. About 18 hours. D. About 24 hours.

45．What’s the main advantage of the new high speed railway? A. It takes more time to go to Urumqi to Lanzhou.

B. It will be more convenient for people all over the country to Xinjiang. C. All the people in Lanzhou can return home on festivals. D. It helps to improve Xinjiang’s development. 46．From the passage we can learn _______.

A. Xinjiang’s annual goods ability can increase nearly four times

B. the new railway technology may help more railway lines to be built abroad C. the high speed railway lines can’t be built across the bone dry sands D. the old railway lines can only carry goods now

47．Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. The new high speed railway line is good for all people to go home. B. The new high speed railway line benefits businessmen to carry goods. C. Taking the new train is safer than driving home from Urumqi to Lanzhou. D. Businessmen seldom went home for Spring Festival before.

“Image is everything．” An entire industry has been built upon the assumption that image is everything, but when it comes down to it, an appealing image is not enough．If there is no substance（事实） behind the image, the product, service or person will fail eventually．

First of all, one should consider how important image is in the selling of products and services．Advertising agencies have raised the art of creating an image to a state of near perfection．Public concept of that product or service is certainly managed by the images created by the advertising agencies．But if the product or service does not live up to the image that was created, the customer will be very dissatisfied and possibly ask for their money back．For example, the Arthur Andersen accounting firm had spent decades building up an image of trustworthiness．But the recent scandal （丑闻） showed that behind that image, it cheated in business practices．Despite the previous positive image, the firm is being accused of criminal actions and it will probably not survive as a business unit．Although the image had been nearly perfect, the reality behind the image has led to the downfall of the world famous accounting firm．

Similarly, personal advisers can build up a public image for politicians and movie stars．Putting out positive news releases, making sure that only the best photographs are published, and ensuring that the person is seen in all the right places can build up a very positive image in the view of the general commons．But once again, history is filled with examples of both politicians and movie stars that fell from grace like the story of the Hollywood actor giving in to the pressures of fame and fortune．With people, just as with products and services, image is certainly important, but without positive substance behind the image, failure is close．

To summarize, it is clear that an appealing image is extremely important to success, whether that image is related to selling a product or service or to the “selling” of a person．But image is only half of the equation(等式)．What lies behind that image is every bit as important as the image itself — the person or product must deliver on that image or there is little chance for long-term success．

48．The downfall of the Arthur Andersen accounting firm is due to ________. A. its dishonesty in business

B. its previous images

C. its bad management D. its poor service 49．Why did some famous people fall from grace? A. Their images were not well built up.

8

B. They paid little attention to fame and fortune. C. They felt much pressure from the public. D. They failed to live up to their images. 50．The structure of the passage is_________.

A: Argument P: Point C: Conclusion

第二节（共5小题，每题2分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Life is just like a box. Inside it are happiness and sorrow, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in it teach us new lessons and make us a better person.

Love

Love plays a key role in our life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could become cruel and violent. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who show us with unconditional love and care. They tell us what is right or wrong, good or bad. 51.It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to the feelings of others. Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better.

Happiness and Sorrow

Materialistic happiness is short-lived, but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others gives a certain level of fulfillment.52.No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow. Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one, failure and despair. But these things are temporary and pass away.

Failure and Success

53.It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Hope and Despair

9

Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience.___54___, because after every night there is a day. Nothing remains the same. We have only one choice—keep moving on in life and be hopeful.

Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is beyond our control. Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be right or dull. 55, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.

A. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour B. So the only alternative is work hard today C. But we always tend to take this for granted D. Success lies in trusting yourself E. So let’s enjoy every day F. Failure is the path to success

G. Peace of mind is the main link to happiness 第四部分：完形填空 (共20小题，每题1.5分)

(go) to the kitchen and returned with a pot of coffee and 77 variety of cups—porcelain, plastic, glass, some plain-looking, some expensive—telling them to help 78 to the coffee.

79 was when all the students had a cup of coffee in hand that he said, “All the nice-looking expensive cups have been taken up, 80 (leave) behind the plain and cheap ones. Actually, the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. 81 all of you really want is coffee, not the cup. You consciously went for the best cups, 82 then you began eyeing others’ cups.”

“Now consider this Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups, 83 are just tools to hold and contain life. The type of cup we have does not change the quality of life.

There is also something that you can do to change this situation. First，try to invite some of your classmates to take part in some activities together after school. This will help you understand each other better by communicating with others. Then，help others when they are in trouble，and ask them to help you when you have difficulty. Soon, I believe，you will make many new friends there.

Bestwishes, LiHua
