The Hymnbook（赞美诗集）
I watched attentively as my little brother was caught in the act. He sat in the corner of the living room, a (an)
36 in one hand and my father‘s hymnboo k in the other. As my father walked into the room, my brother cowered（畏缩）slightly. He 37 that he had done something 38 . From a distance, I saw that he had opened my father‘s brand--new book and scribbled（乱写）across the length and breath of the entire first page with a pen. Now staring at my father 39 , he and I both waited for his punishment.
My father picked up his treasured book, looked at it 40 , and then sat down without saying a worD．Books were 41 to him; he was a clergyman（牧师）and the holder of several 42 . For him, books were knowledge, and yet, he loved his 43 .What he did in the next few minutes was remarkable. Instead of punishing my brother, instead of 44 or yelling or shouting, he sat down, took the pen from my brother‘s han d and then wrote in the book himself, alongside the 45 John had made: ―John‘s word 1959, aged two. How many times have I looked into your 46 face and into your warm, black eyes looking up at me and thanked God for the one who has now scribbled in my new hymnbook. You have made the 47 sacred（神圣的）as your brothers and sisters give so much to my life.‖ Wow, I thought: This is the48 my father is giving?
From time to time I take a book down—not just a cheesy paperback(劣质的简易平装书) but a(n) 49 book that I know I will have for many years to come－and I give it to one of my children to 50 or write their names in. And as I look at their 51 , I think about my 52 , and how he taught me about what really 53 in life: people, not objects; tolerance, not judgment; and love which is at the very heart of a(n) 54 . I think about these things, and I 55 . And I whisper, ―Thank you, Da d. ‖

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Most shoplifters agree that the January sales offer wonderful opportunities for the hard-working thief. With the shops so crowded and the staff so busy, it does not require any extraordinary talent to help yourself to one or two little things and escape unnoticed. It is known, in the business, as ―hoisting‖.
But the hoisting game is not what it used to be, even at the height of the sales, shoplifters today never know if they are being watched by one of those evil little balls that hang from the ceilings of so many department stores above the most desirable goods.
As if that was not trouble enough for them, they can now be filmed at work and forced to attend a showing of their performance in court.
Selfridges was the first big London store to fix closed-circuit video-tape equipment to watch its sales floors. In October last year the store won its first court case for shoplifting using as evidence a videotape clearly showing a couple stealing dresses. It was an important test case which encouraged other stores to fix similar equipment. When the balls, called sputniks, first make an appearance in shops, it was widely believed that their only function was to frighten shoplifters. Their somewhat ridiculous appearance, the curious holes and red lights going on and off, certainly make the theory believable.
It did not take long, however, for serious shoplifters to start showing suitable respect. Soon after the equipment was in operation at Selfridges, store detective Chadwick was sitting in the control room watching a woman secretly putting bottles of perfume into her bag.
―As she turned to go,‖ Chadwick recalled, ―she suddenly looked up at the ?sputnik‘ and stoppe d. She could not possibly have seen that the camera was trained on her because it is completely hidden, but she must have had a feeling that I was looking at her.‖
―For a moment she paused, but then she returned to shelves and started putting everything back. When she had finished, she opened h er bag towards the camera to show it was empty and hurried out of the store.‖
56．The sputniks hanging from the ceiling are intended ________.
A．to watch the most desirable goods
B．to make films that can be used as evidence
C．to frighten shoplifters by their appearance
D．to be used as evidence against shoplifters
57．The case last October was important because _________.
A．the store got the dresses back
B．the equipment was able to frighten shoplifters
C．other shops found out about the equipment
D．the kind of evidence supplied was accepted
58．The woman stealing perfume _________.
A．guessed what the sputniks were for B．was frightened by its shape
C．could see the camera filming her D．knew that the detective had seen her
59．The woman‘s action before leaving the store shows that she _______.
A．was sorry for what she had done
B．didn‘t want to take what she had picked up
C．was afraid she would be arrested
D．wanted to prove she had not intended to steal anything
B
Babies are not just passing idle time when they stare goggle-eyed at the television—they are actually learning about the world，U.S. researchers said. Parents may want to limit what their babies see on television，based on the study，said Donna Mumme，assistant professor of psychology at Tufts University in Boston，who led the research. ―Children as young as 12 months are making decisions based on the emotional reactions of adults around them，‖ Mumme said in a s tatement. ―It turns out that they can also use emotional information they pick up from television. This means that adults might want to think twice before they speak in a loud and harsh voice or let a baby see television programs intended for an older pers on. ‖Mumme‘s team already knew that babies watch other children and adults for information about the world. A mother urging her baby to eat some ―yummy‖ soup or a brother crying in fear when a dog approaches can influence a baby‘s reaction. Mumme‘s team te sted babies to determine if television has the same influence，showing actors reacting on a videotape to objects such as red spiral letter holder，a blue bumpy ball，and a yellow garden hose attachment. Babies aged 10 months or 12 months were later given the same objects to play with. Ten-month-olds did not seem to be influenced by the videos，but the
1-year-olds were. When the actors acted neutrally or positively to an object，the babies happily played with them. But if the actor had seemed afraid or disgusted，the babies would avoid the object.
60．The underlined word may probably mean______.
A．unpleasant B．cruel C．noisy D．upset
61．
A．
B．Adul
C．TV programs provide small babies with all the information they need.
D．One-year-
62．
A．meas
B．
C．
D．
63．Which of the following may the study lead to according
A．
B．
C．
D．Scientists may stop ignoring babies‘ emotional world.
C
After years of study, I have known there are only two types of people in this world：those who get to the airport early and those who arrive as the plane is about to take off.
If there were any justice in this world, the early-airport people would be rewarded for doing the right thing and the late-airport people would be punished. But the early-airport people get ulcer s (溃疡), heart attacks and bite their fingernails to the bone. The late-airport people are hardly aware that they are flying.
A guy of that kind once said, ―Don‘t hurry. If you miss your flight, it‘s because God didn‘t want you to go.‖This is clearly a guy who is never going to get an ulcer.
Early-airport people suffer another ―name‖. They are called exactly what they are—wimps(懦夫). I know I am an early-airport person for years. My luggage will get on the plane first, which makes it the last luggage they take off the plane after landing.
Another strange thing：No matter how early I showed up, I was always told that someone had called two or three years ahead of me and asked for the best seat. I figured it was a trick. I figured there was someone in America who called every airline every day and said, ―Is that wimp Simon flying somewhere today? If he is, give me his seat. ‖
After a lifetime arguing with my wife over whether I really have to pack 24 hours in advance and set the alarm clock four hours ahead, I have learned another fact about early-airport people and late-airport people: They always marry each other.
64．We can learn from the passage that________.
A．late-airport persons often get ulcers or heart attacks
B．early-airport persons are always relaxed during the flight
C．early-airport persons get their luggage first after landing
D．late-airport persons always take things easy
65．The fifth paragraph mainly tells us________.
A．the writer is always played tricks on
B．the writer is usually fooled by airlines
C．the writer‘s seat is always taken by someone
D．the writer has never got a good seat
66．The purpose of writing the passage is to________.
A．give useful tips on taking a plane
B．offer advice about catching a plane
C．express the writer‘s anxiety about taking planes
D．show people‘s two attitudes towards catching planes
67．It could be inferred that the writer‘s wife is________.
A．an early-airport woman B．a late-airport woman
C．a hot-tempered woman D．a sensitive woman
D
Pets are no strangers to the White House. Many of American Presidents have been animal lovers. In recent times, White House pets have been tame dogs and cats. Long ago, however, presidential pets, like our nation itself, were wilder!
In 1806, President Thomas Jefferson lived in the White House. Passers-by often caught sight of his pet bears. Explorers had discovered these fierce bears, caught a pair of small ones, and sent them to Jefferson. While the President was excited about his bears, his enemies in Congress constantly laughed at his pets, calling the White House ―The President‘s Bear Garden‖.
By 1825, the bears were long gone from the White House scene. Now, the building was home to President John Quincy Adams and his crocodile. The green beast actually belonged to General Lafayette, a French hero who had helped the United States win the Revolutionary War. When Lafayette asked Adams to keep the crocodile for him, the President couldn‘t refuse. While President Adams babysat the huge crocodile, First Lady Louisa Adams was busy raising thousands of silkworms. She used the silk from the silkworms to make cloth for her dresses.
When President Martin Van Buren moved into the White House in 1837, he brought his tigers with him. At first, Van Buren said the tigers were his. The Sultan of Oman had sent the tigers when Van Buren was elected, so Congress argued that the tigers belonged to the American people. A fight over the tigers continued for months. In the end, Congress sent someone to seize the tigers and put them in a zoo.
Twenty years later, President James Buchanan received another valuable gift when he was in his first year in the White House. This time, the King of Siam sent several elephants! Buchanan had no desire to share his building with the big creatures, so he sent them to the zoo. Buchanan did, however, keep another gift –a pair of birds. They were a fitting symbol of presidential power.
68．How did the Presidents mentioned get their unusual pets?
A．The pets were given to them by others.
B．They bought them at the market.
C．They got them in the forest.
D．Their family members offered them the pets.
69．What similar political effect did Jefferson‘s bears and Van Buren‘s tigers have?
A．The pets made them happy and gay.
B．It took them too much time to look after them.
C．It brought about dissatisfaction with them in Congress.
D．It made people believe that they were animal lovers.
70．According to the passage, we can infer that ________.
A．the pets the Presidents raised were all huge ones
B．the pets the Presidents owned were all their favorite ones
C．the Presidents kept the pets not only at home but in the zoo
D．the Presidents‘ Pets were not only cared about by their families
71．The passage mainly tells us _______.
A．The president‘s bear garden B．Historical American presidents‘ pets
C．The White House as a zoo D．American presidents‘ favorites

How Much to Tip
You‘re out to dinner. The food is delicious and the service is fine. You decide to leave a big fat tip: Why? The answer may not be as simple as you think.
Tipping, psychologists have found, is not just about service. Instead, studies have shown that tipping can be affected by psychological reactions to a series of different factors from the waiter‘s choice of words, to how they carry themselves while taking orders, to the bill‘s total. Even how much waiters remind customers of themselves can determine how much change they pocket by the end of the night.
―Studies before have shown that mimicry(模仿) brings into positive feelings for the mimicker,‖ wrote Rick van Baren, a social psychology professor. ― These studies show that people who are being mimicked become more generous toward the person who mimics them.‖
So Rick van Baren divided 59 waiters into two groups. He requested that half serve with a phrase such as, ―Coming up!‖ Those in the other half were instructed to repeat the orders and pre ferences back to the customers. Rick van Baren then compared their-take-home. The results were clear---it pays to mimic your customer. The copycat waiters earned almost double the amount of tips to the other group.
Leonard Green and Joel Myerson, psychologists at Washington University in St. Louis, found the generosity of a tippers may be limited by his bill. After research on the 1,000 tips left for waiters, cab drivers, hair stylists, they found tip percentages in these three areas dropped as customers‘ bills went up. In fact, tip percentages appear to plateau(达到稳定水平) when bills topped $100 and a bill for $ 200 made the worker gain no bigger percentage tip than a bill for $ 100．
―That‘s also a point of tipping,‖ Green says, ―You have to give a little extra to the cab driver for being there to pick you up and something to the waiter for being there to serve you. If they weren‘t there, you‘d never get any service. So part of the idea of a tip is for just being there.‖
72．How many factors affecting the customers‘ tipping are mentioned in the passage?
A．2 B．4 C．3 D．1
73．These studies show that______.
A．tipping can be affected by physical reactions to many different waiter‘s factors
B．people who are being mimicked usually tip less to the person who mimics them
C．the mimic waiters can get almost twice as much money as the other group
D．mimicry makes the mimicker feel bad
74．According to the passage, which of the following will be likely to show the right change of the tip percentages?
75．We know from the passage that the writer seems to______.
A．object to Mr Green‘s idea about tipping
B．think part of Mr Green‘s explanation is reasonable
C．give his generous tip to waiters very often
D．support the opinions of Mr Green and Rick van Baren about tripping

Effective Ways to Release the Stress
Nowadays more and more senior three students are getting stressed in their study.
In order to find out effective ways to release the stress, a survey was made last week in five schools. Altogether 500 students were interviewed, and some interesting results were as follows:
About thirty-five percent of the students let out their stress by doing sports. They play football, for instance. Meanwhile, anther forty-five percent of them release their stress by listening to different kinds of music. Interestingly, the rest twenty percent of them usually get help from the school psychological consulting office.
