Even though it was only October, my students were already talking about Christmas plans. With each passing day everyone became more 36 , waiting for the final school bell. Upon its 37 , everyone would run for their coats and go home except David.

David was a small boy in ragged clothes. I had often 38 what kind of home life David had, and what kind of mother could send her son to school dressed so 39 for the cold winter months, without a coat, boots or gloves. But something made David 40 . I can still remember he was always 41 a smile and willing to help. He always 42 after school to straighten chairs and sweep the floor. We never talked much. He 43 just simply smile and ask what else he could do, then thank me for letting him stay and slowly 44 home.

Weeks passed and the 45 over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness until the last day of 46 before the holiday break. I smiled in relief as the last of them 47 out of the door. Turning around, I saw David 48 standing by my desk.

“I have something for you,” he said and 49 from behind his back a small box. 50 it to me, he said anxiously, “Open it.” I took it over from him, thanked him and slowly unwrapped it. I lifted the lid and to my 51 saw nothing. I looked at David’s smiling face and back into the box and said, “The box is nice, David, but it’s 52 .”

“Oh no, it isn’t,” said David, “It’s full of love. My mum told me before she died that love is something you can’t see or touch unless you know it’s there.” Tears filled my eyes 53 I looked at the proud dirty face that I had 54 paid attention to. I never forget the meaning 55 the little empty box set on my desk. After that Christmas, David and I became good friends. 36. A. anxious B. serious C. patient D. calm 37.

A

“My dear Mr. Bennet,” said his lady to him one day, “have you heard that Netherfield Park is let out at last?” Mr. Bennet replied that he had not.

“But it is,” returned she; “for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it.”

Mr. Bennet made no answer.

“Do not you want to know who has taken it?” cried his wife impatiently. “You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it.” This was invitation enough.

“Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs. Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young man of large fortune from the north of England; that he came down on Monday to see the place, and was so much delighted with it, that he agreed with Mr. Morris immediately; that he is to take possession before Michaelmas, and some of his servants are to be in the house by the end of next week.” “What is his name?” “Bingley.”

“Is he married or single?”

“Oh! Single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five

thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!” “How so? How can it affect them?”

“My dear Mr. Bennet,” replied his wife, “how can you be so tiresome! You must know that I am thinking of his marrying one of them.” “Is that his design in settling here?”

“Design! Nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely that he may fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must visit him as soon as he comes.”

“I see no occasion for that. You and girls may go, or you may send them by themselves, which perhaps will be still better, for, as you are as handsome as any of them, Mr. Binley might like you the best of the party.”

(from ‘Pride And Prejudice’) 56. Mrs. Bennet most wants to _______________.

C. a false friend D. a respected mother 59. From the dialogue between the couple, we can infer that ________________. A. Mr. Bennet doesn’t think Bingley good enough for his daughters B. Mr. Bennet considers his wife to be very attractive C. Mr. Bennet pays little attention to her daughters’ future

D. Mr. Bennet enjoys making fun of his wife

Well, more and more companies are beginning to create products and services for teenagers. The Disney Company sells the Hannah Montans television show, music, film and merchandise to teenagers and their parents. You can get everything from branded lunchboxes and mobile phone covers, to monthly fan magazines and clothing. The High School Musical series of films is also intended for a teenage audience. So, it’s all about sales, which tells us teenagers must have more money, freedom and influence upon their purchases

8

than they’ve ever had before.

UK teenagers never used to be worried about spending money on clothes and fashion accessories. That’s changed. Now, they are much more fashion conscious and concerned about their image. In a world of television programmes that promise overnight success and fame at a young age (for example, the shows Britain’s Got Talent and American Idol), some people think it’s extremely important to look fashionable.

So what does teenage fashion look like? Well, it’s quite horrible really, but then I’m a bit too old to appreciate it, I suppose. It’s lots of brightly coloured materials, particularly pink, and usually plain, not patterned. There are plenty of bows, necklaces and bracelets, too. It’s all very cute, if that’s your taste.

Surely none of the above is a good thing, is it? Can it really be healthy for us to encourage kids to be like adults at such a young age? Are we stealing childhoods in return for a bit of profit? Well, the UK government is certainly concerned, and for that reason has strict laws preventing companies from explicitly marketing their products and services at children.

Even the rest of UK society is concerned. Now that people are aware of the problem, there is a popular backlash against the exploitation of children by commercial marketing.

67. We can infer from this passage that teenagers most probably refer to . A. children aged between 10 and 12 B. people who are in their twenties C. grown-ups who study high schools students D. rich teenagers who are in fashion

68. It can be inferred from the passage that the teenagers nowadays . A. are satisfied with their material life and worry about nothing B. often ask their parents to buy things for them C. always have little money on their clothes D. can enjoy their childhood as they are rich in material 69. The author of the passage . A. supports teenage fashion quite a lot B. is fond of brightly colored materials that are to his taste C. is strongly against marketing products and services at children D. thinks it illegal to make profits by selling things to kids 70. The passage is mainly about . A. British teenagers who are interested in fashions B.UK companies targeting products at children C. a social problem concerning teenagers in the UK

9

D. products that aim at young people in England

第Ⅱ卷( 非选择题 共35分 )

第四部分：任务型阅读 (共10小题,每小题1分,共10分)

请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中填入最恰当的单词。注意：每空一词。

Weibo, or micro-blogs, the Chinese version of Twitter, has become a way of life in China, especially for the young.

Our train bumped into something. Our carriage has fallen onto its side. Children are screaming. Come to help us please! Come fast!

This is the first message sent from a high-speed train that crashed on July 23rd, 2011 in China’s Zhejiang province.

Not only was it a cry for help, which saved tens of lives, but it also contributed to a wave of unprecedented(史无前例) “citizen journalism” on China’s micro-blogs. Within ten hours, the message was reported over one-hundred-thousand times, which was something the girl, Xiao Yang, who wrote it had never imagined. She said, “I just wanted to survive at that moment, so I posted a message on Weibo. I didn’t know it would help us to be rescued so quickly.”

After the crash, China’s twenty million strong micro-bloggers demonstrated tremendous and unfamiliar power. They joined rescue efforts, helped survivors and monitored the officials investigating the accident.

As with traditional media, Weibo functions as a mirror on society, sparking debates and enlightening discussions. But what’s different about the micro-blogging site is that anyone---not just journalists---can take a photo, record a video clip or write a quick note about what is happening around them. I can fully accept this new Weibo lifestyle. Almost everyone has Weibo now. I read news on Weibo and it helps me with my life. I also write or repost news sometimes.

Clearly, Weibo enables millions of Chinese to become “citizen journalists”, opening them up to fresh news and views on their community, country and world.

This has lead to many micro-bloggers keeping a closer eye on the authorities. In response, the government is also using Weibo as a tool to respond to citizens’ queries(质询). And in Beijing, micro-bloggers have already left thousands of messages, urging the government to solve problem they consider urgent. Wang Hui, general director of Beijing Information Office, said, “Weibo has created a platform for government officials to better understand what the citizens

10

are thinking about and what they really need. This bottom-to-up information transmission channel is innovative and will become a new trend for government officials to provide better services for the people.”

But, however compelling(引人注目的)Weibo may be, much information it provides turns out to be rumors. Weibo, as a platform, not only helps the Chinese people express their views, but also trains the government in facing public opinion.

Meanwhile, for Xiao Yang, a simple message saved her life. And for millions of others, Weibo means much more than just a simple touch on a smart phone.

Charles Dickens was one of the England’s greatest writers. He had only a few years’ school education because of poverty. His hard work and self-study contributed to his success.

Great Expectations is set in England in the early 1800s. The main character Pip becomes an orphan when he is still young. His kind brother-in-law, Joe treats him like a father as well as a friend. After Pip is given a large fortune unexpectedly, he is bent on becoming a gentleman. He becomes vain and starts to be ashamed of his background.

What it really means to be a gentleman is an important theme in Great Expectations. By the end of the novel, Pip learns that wealth doesn’t buy happiness and that friends are more important than a fancy education. This story is still a great moral tale even judged by today’s standards. Dickens, using his insight into human nature, tells us truths about human behavior. They are as true in the 21st century as they were in the 19th century.
