A long time ago, there was a seed and because he was only a seed, nobody noticed him. Thus, feeling inferior(低等的),the seed gave no importance to his existence(存在).
Then one day, a wind picked him up and threw him on an open field under the sun. Later, he was given rain.
Years later he saw a traveler sitting by his side.“Thank God for this. I really need some rest,”he heard the traveler say.
“What are you talking about?”the seed quickly asked. He thought the man was making fun of him. No one ever spoke to him like that.
“Who just spoke?”the shocked man asked.
“It is me. A seed.”
“A seed?”The man looked at the big tree.“Are you joking? You are not a seed. You are a big tree!”
“Really?”
“Yes! Why else do you think people come here?”
“What do they come here for?”
“To feel your shade(树荫)! Don’t tell me you didn’t know you had grown over time.”
A moment passed before the traveler’s words brought him pride.
The seed thought and smiled for the first time in his life. The years of torture(折磨) by the sun and the rain finally helped him grow up.
“Oh! That means I’m not a little seed anymore! I was actually born to make people feel comfortable. Wow! That’s great!”

When I was 15, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my short-comings(缺点). Week by week her list grew. I was skinny(瘦的), I talked too loud, I was too proud, and so on. I put up with(忍受)her as long as I could. At last, I ran to my father in tears and anger. He listened to my outburst quietly. They he asked, “Are the things she says the true or not?”True? I wanted to know how to strike back. What did truth have to do with it?
“Mary, didn’t you ever wonder what you are really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. ”Go and make a list of every thing she said and mark the points that are true. You needn’t pay attention to the other things she said.
I did as he told me and discovered to my surprise that about half the things are true. Some of them I couldn’t change(like being skinny), but a good number I could and suddenly wanted to change. For the time in my life I began to get a quiet clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy, but he wouldn’t take it.“That’s just for you,”he said.“You know better than any else the truth about yourself, once you hear it. But you’ve got to learn to listen, not close your ears in anger or hurt. When someone says something about you, you’ll know if it’s true or not. If it is ,you’ll find it will echo(共鸣)inside you.”
“I still don’t think it very nice of her to talk about me in front of everybody.”
“Mary, there is one way you could stop others talking about you ever again, and criticizing(批评) you—just say nothing and do nothing. But then, if you do that, you’d find you were nothing. You wouldn’t like that now, would you?”
“No, I admitted(承认)”
60. One day the writer ran to her father in tears and anger because__________.
A. she found she talked too much. B. she found she was too proud.
C. her classmates were not friendly to her. D. a girl pointed out many of her shortcomings.
61. The writer’s father asked her ____________.
A. to pay attention to all that her“enemy”said about her.
B. not to pay attention to what her“enemy”said about her.
C. to pay attention only to the points that were true about her.

Everyone gets sick of hearing. “Put on your seat belt!”But it’s good advice. People who wear seat belts are 45 percent less likely to be killed while riding in the front seat of a car.
The US government wants more seat belt laws. It says children aged 4 to 15 are often killed in car accidents. In 2005, there were 1,627 children aged 4 to 15 killed in car accidents. More than 1,000 of those children were not wearing seat belts. If they had been wearing seat belts, 500 of those children could be alive today.
These children are too old to be in car seats, but they often sit in the back seat. Seat belt laws in many states, including Wisconsin, only require people in the front seat to wear seat belts. Children who aren’t wearing seat belts can be thrown from the car. The risk of dying in an accident is three times greater if the person is thrown from the car.
New laws could require children aged 4 to 8 to be in booster seats in the car. Booster seats help seat belts fit children properly. Right now, only 5 percent of children aged 4 to 8 are seated in booster seats.
While parents have the choice of whether wearing seat belts or not, children are too young to make that choice. Even if you decide not to wear a seat belt, make sure you children are in seat belts and car seats. It’s the law and it will save their lives.
64. The underlined sentence “Everyone gets sick of hearing”in the first paragraph means“________”.
A. there is something wrong with everyone’s ears
B. all people fall ill when they hear something
C. many people don’t pay attention to wearing seat belts
D. none of the people knows it is a piece of good advice
65. More than two-third of 1,627 children were killed because ___________.
A. they weren’t using seat belts B. they were too careful when they walked on the road
C. they were not old enough to sit in the car D. they wore seat belts
66. You must get your children to put on seat belts in order to ________.
A. keep them comfortable in the car seat
B. keep them safe
C. keep them awake in the car all the time
D. prevent all kinds of traffic accidents
67. What would be the best title of this passage?
A. Children Should Put on Seat Belts.
B. Too Many Traffic Accidents Happened Recently.
C. Traffic Laws Are Very Important.
D. Parents Are Important to Children.
D
Have you ever wondered why birds sing? Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably sing when you are happy.
Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory.
Do you know what a ‘territory’ is? A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species are welcome. Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away.
If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting(筑巢) season. So he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a bird’s song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.
Birds sing loudest in spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs.
You can see that birds have a language of their own. Most of it has to do with attracting mates and setting up territories.
68. Some scientists believe that most of the time bird’s singing is actually _____________.
A. an expression of happiness B. a way of warning
C. an expression of anger D. a way of greeting
69. What does the underlined word“territory”mean?
A. A place where families of other species are not accepted.
B. A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice.
C. An area for which birds fight a against each other.
D. An area which a bird considers to be its own.
70. Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season?
A. Because they want to invite more friends.
B. Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away.
C. Because they want to find outsiders around.
D. Because they want to express their happiness.

第三部分:任务阅读(每小题1分,满分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的空格里填入最恰当的单词。
注意:每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题纸上相应题号的横线上。
Telephone, television, radio, telegraph and the Internet all help people communicate with each other. As a result, ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the world. For example, within seconds, people can know the results of an election in another country. An international football match comes into the homes of everyone with a television set. News of a disaster such as an earthquake or a flood can bring help from distant countries within hours. Help is on the way. Because of modern technology like the satellites that travel around the world, information travels fast.
How has this speed of communication changed the world? To many people, the world has become smaller. Of course this does not mean that the world is actually physically smaller. It means that the world seems smaller. Two hundred years ago, communication between the continents took a long time. All news was carried on ships that took weeks or even months to cross the ocean. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it took six weeks for news from Europe to reach America. This time difference influenced people’s actions. For example, one battle, or fight, in the War of 1812 between England and the United States could have been avoided. A peace agreement had already been signed. Peace was made in England, but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America. During these six weeks, the large and serious Battle of New Orleans was fought. Many people lost their lives after a peace treaty had been signed. In the past, communication took much more time than it does now.
There was a good reason why the world seemed so much larger than it does today.

Theme ●It becomes easy for people to (72) ___________ with each other because of
television, telephone, radio, telegraph and the Internet

(in the past) ●Two centuries ago, communication between the continents (78) ___________ a long time
●The news of peace treaty made in (79) ___________ took six weeks to reach America

A
In the United States, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what “keeping up with the Joneses” is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.
The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $ 125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties f or their new neighbours.
It was like a race, but one could never finish his race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.
Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “Keeping up with the Joneses” because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.
People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.
56. Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they ________.
A. want to be as rich as their neighbours
B. want others to know or to think that they are rich
C. don’t want others to know they are rich
D. want to be happy
57. It can be inferred (推断) from the story that rich people like to ________.
A. live outside New York City B. live in New York city
C. live in apartments D. have many neighbors
58. From the text, we know that _______.
A. All the neighbors of Momand like to keep up with the Joneses.
B. All of his neighbors don’t want to keep up with rich lifestyles.
C. Momand never seems to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses.
D. Momand became very rich and returned to the wealthy neighborhood. .
59. Arthur Momand used the name “Jones” in his series of short stories because “Jones” is ________.

What makes a house a home?
Not size, of course. I've been in some of the grandest houses in America, and it's readily apparent that no one lives there. Earlier this year, I had di nner in a mud hut in Ethiopia, where we sat on chairs next to the hostess's bed --- a home that had more warmth than any house I've been in since.
Now John Edwards is exploring what makes a house a home in his just-released Home: The Blueprints of Our Lives. There Edwards writes, “This is a book about homes, the values they rest on, the dreams they are filled with, and the people they have shaped. The houses and circumstances are different, but much of what you find inside will be familiar.”
Whe ther you’re sitting in an airport right now, waiting to fly to your childhood home for Thanksgiving, or in your own home waiting for the relatives to arrive, you know what he's talking about.
We’ve lived in our townhouse for 21 years. The loose windows make noise in the wind. The fireplace is so shallow it holds only one log. The kitchen window offers a view of the world passing by. It’s where friends sit on the kitchen counter drinking wine while dinner is being fixed. I lived there for only 18 years, but it will always be my true home. Even the lamp in the west living room window, which I could see far down the road when driving home late at night, still shines.
While all this talk about childhood memories can be warm and comforting, home is whom you’re with, not where you are. As Edwards writes, “Home is family. Home is safety. Home is faith.”
Happy homecoming!
61. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Home Means Everything B. What Makes a House Home
C. Home Is Not Where You Are D. The Importance of a House

A. it was the description of Edwards's houses
B. it is mainly about houses in America
C. it helps us understand the concept of home
D. it was written by the author of the text
63. What did the author mainly mean when he mentioned the loose windows and the shallow
fireplace?
A. His house was too old to live in. B. He missed the feelings of home.
C. He regretted living there. D. He missed his old friends too much.
64. It can be inferred according to the text that _________.

B. every happy home is exactly the same
C. the author has been living a hard life
D. the author and Edwards hold similar ideas
65. According to the text, home is _________. Which of the following is NOT true?

Sometimes children do not do what their parents tell them to do. When this happens, a parent tries to help the child to do the right thing. When this does not work, the parent usually punishes the child.
There are many things that a parent can do. One thing that people have done is to spank the child. When a parent spanks a child, they will use their hand or a har d object to strike them on their bottom. This is meant to show the child that they have done something wrong.
One parent remembers being spanked when he was a child. His parents used a wooden spoon. When he spanked his own children with his hand, he saw that he put a red mark on his child’s leg. He never did that again.
One problem with spanking is that it teaches the child to hit someone when they do not like what the other person is doing. Another problem with spanking is that the parent is usually angry and can hit the child too hard. Sometimes parents will use spanking for everything and not try other ways to get the child to do the right thing.
Many parents are not sure of what to do instead of spanking. Some people think that their religion(宗教)tells them that spanking is okay. Some think that the law lets them do it. The courts (法院) say that parents have the right to teach their children how to behave.
Other things should be tried before a parent decides to spank a child. Telling the child exactly what is wanted from them can be one thing. Giving a child more than one choice is another thing that can be tried. Getting down to the child’s level and taking a more child-friendly approach (方法) can help as well.
66. According to the passage, when children do something wrong, one thing that parents usually do to punish them is to _______.
A. strike them on the bottom B. try to help them do the right thing
C. teach them what to do D. take them to court
67. What does the word “spank” mean?
A. 打屁股 B.下跪 C. 罚站 D. 打手心
68. Which of the following is NOT the problem caused by spanking?
A. It teaches the child to hit others when they offend him or her.
B. The parent may get angry and hit the child too hard.
C. Sometimes parents may use spanking for everything.
D. It makes parents try other ways to make the child do right.
69. Which of the following can best describe the writer’s attitude (态度) towards spanking?
A. favorable (赞同的) B. indifferent (不关心)
C. interested D. unfavorable
70. From this passage, we can conclude (作出结论) that ________.
A. good children always do the right thing
B. parents should try their best to avoid (避免) spanking their children
C. parents have no choice but to spank their children when they do something wrong
D. children can have more than one choice to avoid being spanked
