Sylvia Calver hated being the center of any pubic show where she didn’t know anyone. It made her 16 hot and she always felt she wanted to go away somewhere. But on an occasion like this when she knew 17 , there was no 18 to feel shy. 19she had made up her mind to 20 people’s attention for once in her life. Unlike others, Sylvia didn’t have any sad feelings herself at leaving Palmeira Court Hotel or saying goodbye to its 21 — she had left so many other 22 , and known too many people in her life to get upset by such things now. Yet this 23 was a particular occasion, and she hadn’t had so many of those in her 24. She had put on her 25 black dress and her long earrings. She had wanted to enjoy being the center of 26 for one evening, but now they had 27 old Miss Hutton of all people to give the 28 speech, whom she disliked. Even so, she thought there was no sense in getting 29 about it, for it was the first rule her 30 had given her — avoid all anxiety, take things easy. So, surprising herself by enjoying her own well-rounded white arm as 31 showed through the sleeve of her 32 dress, she took a taste of her drink and then sat back comfortably with her cigarette. And her doctor’s orders worked! For 33 out slowly, she put Miss Hutton off the end of her 34 with a cloud of tobacco smoke, so that she smiled to herself at the old girl’s funny expression. She 35 herself quite well that night, even to her own surprise. 16.A.face B.show C.room D.dress 17.A.nothing B.nobody C.everything D.everybody 18.A.chance B.time C.reason D.use 19.A.So B.But C.For D.There 20.A.pay B.give C.enjoy D.offer 21.A.guests B.people C.places D.things 22.A.houses B.friends C.hotels D.parties 23.A.morning B.afternoon C.evening D.night 24.A.life B.work C.school D.home 25.A.large B.best C.most D.worst 26.A.service B.exhibition C.Group D.attention 27.A.ordered B.chosen C.wished D.helped 28.A.long B.great C.goodbye D.welcome 29.A.excited B.anxious C.puzzled D.pleased 30.A.teacher B.friend C.husband D.doctor 31.A.they B.he C.it D.she 32.A.black B.white C.red D. green 33.A.getting B.putting C.breathingD.speakin 34.A.action B.speech C.work D.performance 35.A.made B.enjoyed C.understood D.thought 第二部分：阅读理解 （第一节 15 小题。第二节 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 40 分） 第一节：阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 4 个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出 最佳选项。 Passage A "Mark Twain" was the name used by Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835-1910) when he wrote books. His father was a lawyer, but a poor one, who lived at Florida, Missouri. The family was so poor that Samuel did not receive much teaching. He had to learn all that he could from the people whom he met. His father died when he was very young, and then there was even less money than before. Many of the men in this part of America worked in the ships on the great River Mississippi, and he did this himself at one time (1857). Where did he find the name "Mark Twain"? It came from the great river itself. It was part of one of the cries used by men who worked in the ships. When a man called "By the mark twain!" he meant that the river was "two marks deep" there, that is to say, six feet deep ( "Twain" is an old form of the work "Two".) Samuel Clemens often heard these words when he was young, and he used them as a penname all his life. During his work on the Mississippi he met travelers of all kinds, and this helped him a great deal when he started to write. But the number of travelers became smaller when war started in America in 1861. Many of the great ships on the river stopped work. Samuel left then and went to Nevada with his brother, who was at that time Governor of Nevada. There, near the town of Carson, Samuel became a gold miner, but he never made much money at the time. He soon saw that life in the gold mines was not for him. He also tried writing for the newspapers in Nevada, and this seemed more hopeful. He found that he could write. He went to Europe in 1867 and visited France and Italy. In 1870 he married Olivia Langdon, and two years later he was spending nearly all his time writing. Among his books is his own story (1908). He is now always known as Mark Twain, and many people do not even know that his family name was Clemens. He traveled in America and in England, and went to Oxford in 1907. He was one of the great American writers of the time, and could make his readers laugh – a thing which few writers can do. He died in 1910. 36. "Mark Twain" was _________. A. a famous American writer B. name of a book C. a great river in America D. a large ship 37. As a child, Samuel did not get much education because _________. A. his father died too early B. the family was very poor C. he disliked school very much D. he could learn what he liked from the people he met 38. What gave him a great deal when he started writing? _______ A. His poor childhood B. The Mississippi river C. All kinds of travelers he met D. His brother 39. We can infer from the passage that ________. A. Samuel loved writing from his early age B. Samuel did not love writing at the beginning C. his writings to the newspaper were successful D. his brother encouraged him to write more 40. According to the writer of the passage, a good writer could _________. A. write a lot for his readers B. make a lot of money for his family C. cause his readers to laugh D. travel everywhere he wanted Passage B In recent years advances in medical technology have made it possible for people to live longer than in the past. New medicines and machines are being developed every day to extend life. However, some people, including some doctors, are not in favor of these life extending measures, and they argue that people should have the right to die when they want. They say that the quality of life is as important as life itself and that people should not be forced to go on living when conditions of life have become unbearable. They saw that people should be allowed to die with dignity (尊严) and to decide when they want to die. Others argue that life under any conditions is better than death and that the duty of doctors is always to extend life as long as possible. And so the battle goes on and on without a definite answer. 41.The best title for this passage is _____. A. The Right to Live B. The Right to Die C. The Doctor’s Duty D. Life Is Better Than Death 42.In recent years, people can live longer than in the past. It’s because of _____ . A. the development of medical technology B. big hospitals C. good doctors D. both B and C 43.According to some people whether a dying patient has the right to die or not is up to _____ . A. the doctors B. the surroundings C. his or her family D. the patient himself or herself 44.In the writer’s opinion _____ . A. death is better than life B. life is better that death C. neither death nor life is good D. none of the above 45.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. Most of the medical workers join in the argument. B. The argument has ended in favor of the patient. C. The argument hasn’t ended yet. D. The quality of life is not as important as life itself, so it is generally thought that people should not be allowed to die under any conditions. Passage C I came to India a year ago to find a village in which I could live and write but it was many months before I settled down happily in this Himalayan community. I wasted a lot of time looking for the “typical” village. Yet no such thing exists. Conditions are quite different from village to village. But the villages I stayed in had much in common---poor, dirty and backward. Often the villagers themselves were puzzled and doubtful. Why had I come? I had put aside my work as a political journalist because my ideas had changed. I had come to believe that what was happening in the Third World was more important than anything else. But to understand how three—quarters of the world population live, and what effect their future might have on ours, I felt that I first had to try and share their way of life. In the end I chose a mountain village because it was little cooler than those in the plains. I took the bus from town along a rocky road. Then came a rough walk down a steep path to the river. After this I began the climb into the hills. Whenever I stopped to catch my breath, there was a beautiful scene. After several hours’ walk the village came into sight. 46.After the writer had arrived in India,________. A. he spent a year writing about the place he lived in B. he spent quite some time looking for a suitable place to live in C. he stayed in an Indian village working for the poor D. he lived in a Himalayan community for many months. 47.While looking for a typical village, the writer found__________. A. he was searching for the impossible B. all the villages were exactly the same C. he was doing something enjoyable D. the villagers were curious about him 48.Before coming to India, the writer________. A. had been a successful politician B. had made a decision to work for India C. had studied India culture for some months D. had worked for newspapers and magazines 49.The write decided to change his way of life because__________. A. he no longer found his work interesting B. he hoped to live a peaceful life in the countryside C. he wanted to find out more about the Third World D. he wanted to try his luck in a foreign country 50.The village the writer finally chose to live in_________. A. lay at the end of a rocky road B. had a beautiful sight of the river C. was a short walk from the river D. had better weather than those in the plains. 第二节：阅读下列材料，从所给的 6 个选项（A、B、C、D、E 和 F）中，选 出符合各小题要求的最佳选项，其中有一题是多余选项。 ____51.Eat more fruits and vegetables. ____52.Know the facts about fat. ____53.Balance your lunch. ____54.Mix it up. ____55.Use your manners. A. When people talk about balanced meals, they mean meals that include a mix of food groups: some grains, some fruits, some vegetables, some meat or protein foods, and some dairy foods such as milk and cheese. Try to do this with your lunch. If you don’t have a lot of foods on your plate, it’s probably not balanced. A double order of French fries, for example, would not make for a balanced lunch. B. Eating in a cafeteria(自助餐厅)sometimes looks like feeding time at the zoo. Don’t be animals! Follow those simple rules your parents are always reminding you about: Chew with your mouth closed. Don’t talk and eat at the same time. Use your plate. Put your napkin on your lap. Be polite. And don’t make fun of what someone else is eating . C. Choosing fruits and vegetables is like hitting the jackpot( 获 得 胜 利 )when it comes to nutrition .They make your plate more colourful and they’re packed with vitamins and fiber. It’s a good idea to eat five servings of fruits and vegetables every day, so try to fit in one or two at lunch. A serving isn’t a lot. D. Kids need some fat in their diets t stay healthy ----it also helps keep you feeling full---but you don’t want to eat too much of it. Fat is found in butter, oils, cheese, nuts, and meats. Some higher-fat lunch foods include French fries, hot dogs, cheeseburgers and cheese. Don’t worry if you like these foods! No food is bad, but you may want to eat them less often and in smaller portions. Foods that are lower in fat are usually baked. Some of the best low-fat foods are fruits, vegetables, and low-fat milk. E. “Grains” include breads, cereals, rice, and pasta. But as we learn more about good nutrition, it’s clear that whole grains are better than refined grains. What’s the difference? Brown rice is a whole grain, but white rice is not. Likewise wheat bread contains whole grains, whereas 100% white bread does not. F. Do you eat the same lunch every day ? If that lunch is a hot dog, it’s time to change your way. You should learn to mix it up when choosing what to eat. Eating lots of different kinds of food gives your body a lot of nutrients. 第 II 卷 第三部分：写作（共三节，满分 35 分） 第一节：单词拼写（共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 10 分） 根据下列句子及所给单词的首字母，写出各单词正确的 完全形式（每空限写一词） 56.The cause of the accident still r_________ unknown to all. 57.They have no m________ of transport except for two bicycles. 58.Some people are g________ for money and some for power. 59.At that time in the southern states, blacks weren’t t__________ as equal citizens. 60.By c____________ prices and offers, you can also make your travel budget last longer. 61.It is l__________ that they will win the game. 62.If you want to work in a big city and live by the seaside, Qingdao is the p_________ place for you. 63.Although the meal was cold, it tasted d_______. 64.The town offers many shops, cafés and a wide v__________ of entertainment. 65.Martin Luther King, Jr gave s________ “I have a dream” in 1963. 第二节：短文改错（共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 10 分） 此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。对标有题号的每一行作出判断： 如无错误，在该行右边横线上画一个勾（∨）；如有错误（每行只有一 个错误），则按下列情况改正： 此行多一个词：把多余的词用斜线（\）划掉，在该行右边横线上写出 该词，并也用斜线划掉。 此行缺一个词：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（∧），在该行右边横线上写 出该加的词。 此行错一个词：在错的词下划一横线，在该行右边横线上写出改正后的 词。 注意：原行没有错的不要改。 This afternoon , on my way back home, I saw 66.____________ a group of young people playing chess below a tall 67.____________ tree.
