Clara  Barton,  born  on  Christmas  in  1821,  is  widely  known  as  one  of  the  most 
honored  women  in  American  history.  She  began  teaching  school  when  most  teachers 
were men at that time. Later, she became one of the first women ever to be employed by 
the government.
Her  career  in  helping  the  sick  began  when  her  brother  David  became  her  first 
patient. He fell down from the roof of a house when Clara was just 11 years old. She 
stayed by his side and looked after him for three years, learning how to give him all his 
medicines.
When  the  Civil  War  began  in  1861,  she  immediately  recognized  that  the  poorly 
equipped soldiers needed help. Instead of waiting for others to step in, Clara collected 
necessary things on her own, asked the public for donations and learned how to store 
and distribute them to soldiers. She also read to the soldiers and wrote letters for them.
After the Battle of Cedar Mountain in northern Virginia in 1862, Clara arrived at a 
field hospital at midnight with a vehicle full of supplies. A doctor named Paul Smith at 
that hospital would later write, “I thought heaven had sent out an angel that night — her 
assistance arrived at exactly the right time.”
In 1869, Clara went to Europe and learned about the International Committee of 
the  Red  Cross.  Upon  her  return  to  the  United  States,  she  successfully  founded  the 
American  Red  Cross.  She  led  the  organization  for  the  next  23  years.  Her  last  field mission ( 使命) as president of the American Red Cross was to help the victims of the 
1900  Galveston  hurricane.  She  did  not  retire  from  the  American  Red  Cross  until  she 
was 83. True to her nature, Clara always went to where the need was the greatest.
Today, the American Red Cross continues the mission Clara started more than 100 
years ago. With the help of thousands of volunteers, the American Red Cross provides 
relief to victims of disasters, as well as helps people prevent, prepare for and respond to 
all sorts of emergencies.
24. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that Clara Barton was _____.
A. honest            B. caring        C. talented         D. modest
25. After the Civil War broke out, Clara Barton _____.
A. joined the army and fought bravely          B. went to Europe for further study
C. continued to work as a teacher                 D. did a lot to help soldiers
26. Seeing Clara Barton’s arrival, Dr. Smith must have felt _____.
A. excited and grateful                             B. proud and joyful
C. shy and nervous                                     D. sad and sorry
27. What is mainly described in Paragraph 5?
A.  The  aim  of  the  American  Red  Cross.            B.  The  importance  of  voluntary 
donations.
C. Clara Barton and the American Red Cross.  D. Clara Barton’s contribution to the 
Civil War.
C
Being able to count at least ten people as friends makes us happy, but those with 
five or fewer are likely to be miserable, researchers say.      
Their  study  of  hundreds  of  men  and  women  also  found  that  people  who  feel 
satisfied with their lives always have lots of close friends and regularly make new ones. 
While it is not clear whether our friends make us happy or we make friends because we 
are  happy,  the  researchers  say  it  is  clear  that  we  should  maintain  our  friendships. 
Psychologist  Richard  Tunney  said,  “Whatever  the  reason  is,  actively  working  on 
friendships in the same way as to maintain a marriage is a prerequisite (必备条件) to happiness.” Dr. Tunney, of Nottingham University, quizzed (询问)more than 1,700 
people about their satisfaction with their lives and the state of their friendships. Those 
with five friends or fewer had just a 40 percent chance of being happy. In other words, 
they were  more  likely  to  be unhappy  than  happy.  Ten was  the  first number at  which 
people were more likely to be happy than unhappy. The happiest people were those with 
dozens of friends, according to the study, which was carried out for the National Lottery 
(彩票).
     For  women,  this  meant  having  33  friends;  for  men,  the  number  was  49.  Dr. 
Tunney  said,  “People  who  were  extremely  satisfied  with  their  lives  had  twice  the 
number of friends of people who were extremely dissatisfied.” Women tended to have 
fewer friends than men but formed tighter relationships. Interestingly, the study found 
that  childhood  friends  are  no  more  likely  to  make  us  happy  than  people  we  become 
close to later in life. Lottery winners, however, have a different opinion on life. They 
are  always  happier  than  others  despite  spending  their  time  with  a  small  circle  of  old 
friends. This could be because they trust people they’ve known for a long time.
28. What’s the best title for this passage?
A. The Secret to Happiness Is to Make New Friends.
B. Having at Least 10 Good Friends Makes People Happy.
C. Why Most People Like to Make Friends Regularly.
D. Men’s and Women’s Friends Are Different.
29. Which of the following opinions may Richard Tunney NOT agree with?
A. People with few friends are sure to be unhappy.
B. Our friends can make us happy.
C. Happiness may come from a good marriage life.
D. We may become happier if we have more friends. 
30. According to the passage, lottery winners ________.
A. enjoy making new friends                  B. make new friends easily
C. like staying with old friends                D. have no time to make friends
31. We can conclude from the passage that ________.
A. it’s enough for one person to have ten friendsB. unhappy people must have few friends
C. childhood friends make people happier than adulthood ones
D. friendships play a major role in people’s life
D
When nature is left alone, a balance is reached among the animals and plants living 
in  one  area.  But  when  man  starts  his  work  in  nature,  the  balance  is  likely  to  be 
destroyed. He grows a crop and takes it away to eat; then there are no dead leaves to fall 
on the ground, holding water while it sinks into the surface, or decaying (腐烂) and 
adding humus (腐殖质) to the soil. Unless a farmer acts with knowledge and skill, he is 
therefore most likely to make the land poorer. To take the place of the useful matter in 
the crops that he removes, he uses some kind of fertilizer (肥料).
Chemical  fertilizers  are  of  great  help,  but  the  waste  products  of  animals  and 
decaying remains of plants should also be put on the land. In some places, it is a habit to 
burn waste material lying about, but such burning destroys the useful matter in the dead 
plants.  Although  the  ashes  that  are  left  are  valuable  when  put  on  the  land,  a  better 
practice is to bury the waste so that it decays and increases the humus in the soil.
     In the past, when the world population was much lower than it is now, a man had 
little difficulty in ordinary times in growing the food that was needed. When a field had 
been used some years and had become tired, the farmer could move to another place. 
The tired land then slowly recovered. Gradually grasses and other plants would appear 
on it and its productive power would slowly return to normal through their decay. But 
nature, left alone, would take a long time to bring back the land to its former state; the 
length of time required would depend on local conditions, but it might well be ten years.
     It is a bad practice to grow the same crop in a field year after year. If the crop is 
changed,  the  land  will  suffer  less  because  it  is  treated  and  used  in  a  different  way. 
Different plants have different effects on the soil. Therefore, a change of crop will do 
less  harm  than  the  growing  of  the  same  crop  year  after  year  and  a  regular  change  to 
grass will do good to the soil. Much will therefore be gained if different crops are grown 
one after another, a method known as the rotation (轮作) of crops.
32.According to the passage, the land will become poorer_______.A. if all the dead leaves are cleared away         
B. if the humus is increased after the harvest
C. if dead leaves decay in the soil by themselves   
D. if waste plant material lying about is buried 
33.We can learn from the passage that the tired land has gradually recovered________.
A. when grasses and other plants appear again
B. when the treatment is given by nature alone
C. after new grasses and other plants have decayed again
D. after nature has been left alone for several months   
34.A  modern  farmer  can  hardly  move  to  another  place  as  he  did  before 
because________.
A. the productive power of a new field isn’t higher than that of an old one
B. there are few free fields left for him to do farming
C. it takes a farmer more than ten years to start farming in a new field
D. there will be too many grasses in a new field to grow crops 
35.It is most likely that the author will go on to ______ in the paragraph following the 
passage above.
A. introduce other methods of planting crops     
B. deal with how to prevent land getting tired
C. start another topic of how to make use of land  
D. further explain what the rotation of crops is

Most of today’s Chinese Americans are the descendants(后代)of some of the early miners and railroad workers. From the start, the Chinese had lived apart in their 
own separate neighborhoods.          36          In each of them the residents organized an 
unofficial government to make rules for the community and to settle disputes(争端). 
Chinese Americans keep many aspects of their ancient culture, even after having 
lived here for several generations. For example,          37        . Members of the family 
lend  each  other  moral  support  and  also  practical  help  when  necessary.  From  a  very 
young age, the old values and attitudes, including respect for their elders and a feeling 
of  responsibility  to  the  family,  are  passed  from  the  older  generation  to  the  young.    
38     
The high regard for education, which is deeply rooted in Chinese culture, and the 
willingness to work very hard to gain advancement, are other noteworthy characteristics 
of theirs.        39     
Chinese  Americans  make  up  only  a  tiny  part  of  American  population;  there  are 
fewer than a million, living chiefly in California, New York, and Hawaii. As American 
attitudes  toward  minorities  and  ethnic  ( 民 族 的 )  differences  have  changed  in  recent 
years,        40     .
A. the Chinese Americans have gained wide acceptance
B. their family ties continue to be remarkably strong
C. This explains why so many descendants of uneducated laborers have succeeded in  
becoming doctors, lawyers, and other professionals.
D. Saving money and passing down their fortune to their young is always the custom. 
E. This helps to explain why there is so little juvenile delinquency (青少年犯罪)  
among them.
F. Later those came to be known as “Chinatowns”.
G. Nowadays, kids are living separately, far away from their parents.第三部分  英语知识运用  (共两节,满分 45)

Once upon a time, a Japanese man wanted to rebuild his house. First he had to tear 
(拆) the walls open. Japanese houses      41        have empty spaces between the wooden 
walls. As he was tearing them down, he found a lizard(蜥蜴)      42       there because a 
nail(钉子) from the outside had been      43      into one of its feet. Seeing this, he felt     44    
for it, and at the same time wanted to know       45       about it.
    He  knew  very  well  that  the  nail  had  been  knocked  into  the  wall  ten  years  before

trapped one for the past ten years.
“What  love        56        in  this  tiny  animal!  What  can  love  do?  It  can  do    
57        ! Just think, one lizard has been taking care of      58      for ten years, without

As  we  all  know,  people  need  work  and  rest.  We  should  learn  to  mix  work  with 
adequate rest, but it is easier said than done. We have always been dreaming of visiting 
Canada. However, it was not until last year that we managed to make it. We decided to 
go there by plane. We went aboard in the evening. When we were over Canada, it was 
dawn  and  the  sky  was  clear  enough  for  us  to  enjoy  the  beautiful  country.  We  also 
caught sight of many lakes and mountains. We were greatly impressed by the beauty.
书面表达范文(25 分)
Dear Chris,
I have good news to tell you. There will be staged Shaoxing Opera “Butterfly 
Lovers” in new Tianjin Grand Theatre at 2 p.m. on August 5. I sincerely invite 
you to watch the show because you are familiar with Chinese culture, especially 
you know more about Chinese opera culture.
After watching the show, we plan to arrange some other activities. For 
example, we can visit the nearby museums or art galleries in order to know much more about Chinese culture and art. We may enjoy them and share their artistic 
charm together.
If you have any suggestions, please contact me as soon as possible. I’m 
looking forward to your reply.
Yours,  Li Jin
