A friend of mine met with an accident driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn?t move.

It was 8 hours later that day broke, and then the 39 of the rescue. It is
almost 40 that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his 41 : “First of all, I checked up my 42 conditions and found myself not in moral danger. As there was no 43 to call for help, I leaned back my seat trying my best to keep the wound from 44 . In this way I dozed(打盹).”
His story put an end to my regret for the 45 of an exploration adventure that happened last year.

According to the 49 people that found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the
50 of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to
51 themselves, they would probably sense a faint light glimmering（闪烁）not far away.
Don't you think that you can compare it with 52 itself? When you meet with obstacles（障碍）in life and work, you are lost in darkness. 53 you it's unclear yet and you needn't put up struggle 54 .

A
I?ve loved my mother?s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as Mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk”, she said, “is for Elizabeth”.
I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me, she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.
They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional”. But she lived “on the surface”
As years passed , I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.
I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.
My hope turned to disappointment，then little interest, finally, peace---it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn?t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of her d esk told me, as she?d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside---a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times.
Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
56. The writer began to love her mother?s desk________.
A. after Mother died
B. before she became a writer
C. when she was a child
D. when Mother gave it to her
57. The passage shows that__________.
A. Mother wrote her daughter in careful words
B. Mother cared much about her daughter in words
C. Mother was too serious about everything her daughter had done
D. Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter
58. The word “gulf” in the passage means________.
A. part of the sea going far in land
B. free talks between mother and daughter
C. different ideas between the mother and the daughter
D. deep understanding between the old and the young
59. What did Mother do with her daughter?s letter asking for forgiveness?
A. She had never received the letter.
B. She read the letter again and till she died.
C. For years, she often talked about the letter.
D. She didn?t forgive her daugh ter at all in her life.
60. What?s the best title of the passage?
A. My letter to Mother
B. Mother and Children
C. My Mother?s Desk
D. Talks between Mother and Me
B
When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor named Dr.Gibbs. He didn?t look like any doctor I?d ever known. The good doctor had some interesting theories concerning plant husbandry. He came from the “No pain, no gain”school of horticulture (园艺).He never watered his new trees, which flew in the face of conventional wisdom. Once I asked why. He said that watering plants spoiled them, and that if you water them, each successive tree generation will grow weaker and weaker. So you have to make things rough for them and weed out the weak trees early on.
He talked about how watering trees made for shallow roots, and how trees that weren?t watered had to grow deep roots in search of moisture. I took him to mean that deep roots were to be treasured.
So he never watered his trees. He?d plant an oak and, instead of watering it every morning, he?d beat it with a rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree?s attention.
Dr.Gibbs went to glory a couple of years after I left home. Every now and again, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I?d watched him plant twenty-five years ago. They …re strong now. Big and robust. Those trees wake up in the morning and beat their chests and drink their coffee black.
I planted a couple of trees a few years back. Carried water to them for a solid summer. Sprayed them. Prayed over them. The whole nine yards. Two years of coddling(照料) has resulted in trees that expect to be waited on hand and foot. Whenever a cold wind blows in, they tremble and chatter their
branches.
Funny things about those trees of Dr.Gibbs, adversity(逆境) and deprivation(折磨) seemed to benefit them in ways comfort and ease never could.
Every night before I go to bed ,I checked on my two sons. I stand over them and watch their little bodies, the rising and falling of life within. I often pray for them. Mostly I pray that their lives will be easy. But lately I?ve been thinking that it?s time to change my prayer.
This change has to do with the inevitability of cold winds that hit us at the core. I know my children are going to encounter hardship, and I?m praying they won?t be naive. There?s always a cold wind blowing somewhere.
So I?m changing my prayer. Because life is tough, whether we want it to be or not. Too many times we pray for ease, but that?s a prayer seldom met. What we need to do is pray for roots that reach deep into the earth, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, we won?t be swept easily.
61. Dr.Gibbs, cared for the trees in his own way so that ____.
A. the trees could get enough moisture
B. he could get rid of the weeds easily
C. the trees could grow much taller and stronger
D. the trees could bear tough conditions
62. Finally the writer changed his prayer for his sons because____.
A. there was no need to do so since their lives were easy
B. everyone was doomed to encounter hardship
C. he had prayed too much for them
D. Dr.Gibbs told him not to do so
63. From the passage, we can learn Dr.Gibbs has a(an) ____effect on the writer.
A. ambiguous
B. positive
C. everlasting
D. optimistic
64. The underlined phrase “went to glory” in the fourth paragraph means_____.
A. pass away
B. move to a magnificent place
C. act as a doctor again
D. find a glorious job
65. Which of the following can be the best title?
A. Life is always hard
B. Don?t spoil your children
C. Growing roots
D. Proper care to children
C
Turning on the TV, a wonderful scene comes to your eyes—a group of men , tall , strong and handsome , and women , young , beautiful and attractive , too . Together they eat in the finest restaurants, traveling everywhere around the world by luxurious planes and pleasure ships. They are models.
Do you envy them? What sort of life are models leading? Is it a wonderful life for a young lady or a young man?
A few models are well-known actors or actresses who can make a lot of money only by showing themselves off in commercials. But the majority of them are just curious to see what it is like. They?d like to be models just because they are attracted by what they imagine—models earn a lot of money and lead a glorious life. This is true for those who are very successful. However, most models find it difficult to get work. Very few can earn enough to live on, and for all models their expenses are high. Their agents claim about 20% of the earnings, and no model will get very far without a clever agent. Besides, they have to buy good clothing. They also have to pay to travel to interviews and reach the places where the work is to be done.
Interviews for a model job are known as cattle-markets in the modeling world, and not without a good reason. A top model can choose his or her work, demand and receive high fees and has his or her expenses paid. But for most models, the situation is quite different. And agent or employer inspects each model much as a farmer inspects cattle at a market. Intelligence, qualifications and personal characteristics count for little against good looks and tight figures. For all except the very few lucky ones, the life of a model is a continual search for work, trying to sell himself or herself in the face of fierce competition and, sometimes, not particularly moral standards on the part of some employers.
Immigration officials at the airport look suspiciously at a girl whose passport shows her occu pation as “Model”, and these are men and women of considerable experience of the world. It comes no surprise to find that some models prefer to put “Secretary” or “Businessman” a s their jobs in their passports.
Modeling is a changeable world with great rewards for a tiny minority but not for the majority.
66．For models, their good looks and tight figures are _____ , compared with their intelligence and qualifications .
A．more important B．less needed
C．less essential D．more looked down upon
67．Which of the following can lead you to believe according to the passage ?
A．A model?s traveling expenses a re usually paid by his employer.
B．To be a model, good looks are the most important qualification. C．Most models have a fairly easy way of life with high pay.
D．A model can hardly be successful without a good agent.
68．Models often put “Secretary” or “Businessman” instead of “Model” in their passports because
A．they want to avoid being stopped to sign their names by fans
B．a person with the occupation of a model is easily attacked by black societies
C．models are sometimes looked down upon
D．secretaries and businessmen are free of custom duty
69．What may be the author?s attitude towards modeling ?
A．It?s a worthwhile life for a young lady or a young man.
B．He is in favor of young people to try modeling.
C．Before being crazy about a model job, young people should be aware of the difficulties.
D．It is a field in which everyone has a great chance to succeed.
70．The underlined word “suspiciously” can most prob ably be replaced by .
A．doubtfully B．excitedly C proudly D．sadly
D
Research shows that humans switch from selfish to unselfish behaviour when they are watched. Do you?
A picture of a set of eyes on a computer screen can cause a change in the way people act. Even images of eyes on a charity donation, collection box encourage people to be unselfish, because people put more money in a collection box that has a picture of eyes on it than they do when a flower symbol is on the box. Manfred Milinski from the Max-Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology in Germany and Bettina Rockenbach of the University of Berlin, the authors of a new study, found that people act better when they are being watched because they feel they will be rewarded for good behaviour. Their report also referred to other research showing that this response of behaving well when watched is somehow coded into humans and people respond this way unconsciously, or without realising it.
It is not just humans that act unselfishly when they are being watched. A fish called the grooming fish cleans other fish. When other fish are around, it is gentler. When no other fish are around, however, the grooming fish bites
chunks from the fish it is supposed to be cleaning.
The researchers suggest that the best way to get people to behave in the correct way is to make them feel watched. This could be the reason for the success of a famous American army poster. On it was a picture of an early man staring fiercely and pointing, it appeared, to the person who was looking at the poster. Under the picture was the caption “I Want You”. It encouraged hundreds of thousands of young American men to join the army during the Second World War to fight the Germans and Japanese.
71. According to the report, why does a person behave better when he feels he is being watched?
A. He does not want to be shamed by others.
B. He needs to show he is a good person.
C. He desires others to like him more.
D. He feels he will receive some social reward.
72. The underlined word “coded”(paragraph3) is closest in meaning
to _____.
A. hidden
B. programmed
C. forgotten
D. learned
73. What is the text mainly about?
A. It describes changed behaviour when observed.
B. It details ways to control people?s behaviour.
C. It tells how to make people work harder.
D. It discusses different advertising methods.
74. According to the text, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. People pretend to behave better when they are watched.
B. Fish bite other fish in a fish tank when they are alone.
C. People donate more money when they feel they are watched.
D. Soldiers fought better during World WarⅡbecause of a poster.
75. Where would the study described in the text most likely be found?
A. In a newspaper.
B. In a scientific journal.
C. In an advertising magazine.
D. In a science textbook.
第Ⅱ卷（非选择题，共45分）
第四部分：阅读表达（共5 小题；每小题3分，满分15 分）阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的字数要求）。
⑴With rapid increase of economic rate in western countries, more and more married young couples tend to have no child or only one. At the meantime, many developing nations adopt family planning policy to get rid of
poverty. All these facts result in a world with population growth rate declining. But I myself would like to grow up in a big family.
⑵Of course, a small family had its advantages. Firstly, small family makes it easier for parents to bring up and educate their children. Parents could spend more time and money educating one child than several. The child could grow up in an influential environment. Secondly, the child could learn more survival skills for future success.
⑶However,______________________. The only child becomes the little emperor. It would make the one child ask more for him and think less of others. Besides, after the child grows up and gets married, the new couple has to take care of four old parents. That means the two children must work hard to support the old parents. At present, many nations are facing the problem of becoming aged society. China will face this situation in a short time to come.
⑷On the contrary, a big family weighs over a small family in many aspects. Firstly, parents could educate several children with almost the same time as they spend with one. Moreover, the old brothers or sisters also could help their parents bring up little children. Secondly, if one of the children turns out to be successful, it may mean he or she is becoming a model for other children to learn from.
⑸Despite the fact that parents have to spend more time and money bringing up several children, it is not as difficult as people think it to be. With the help of good educational system and modern technology, it is becoming easier to afford several children.
1. What is the writer?s attitude whether it is good to grow up in a big family?
(Please answer within 10 words.)
____________________________________________________________ 2. Translate the underlined sentence in the first paragraph into Chinese.

10 words.)

5. What else do you think will help afford several children besides what is
mentioned in the article? (Please answer within 20 words.)
