One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift. Unlike other gifts, it came without wrap(包装).
On September 11th, 1958, Mum gave birth to Richard. After she brought him home from hospital, she put him in my lap, saying. "I promised you a gift, and here it is." What an honor! I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own. I played with it day and night. I sang to it. I told it stories. I told it over and over how much I love d it!
One morning, however, I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried for it. Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital. It had a fever. For several days, I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as "hopeless", "pitiful", and "dying", which sounded ominous.
Christmas was coming. "Don’t expect any presents thi s year." Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room. "If your baby brother lives, that'll be Christmas enough." As he spoke, his eyes were filled with tears. I'd never seen him cry before. The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it. From my bedroom I heard him say. "What? He's all right?" He hung up and shouted upstairs. “The hospital said we can bring Richard home!"
"Thank God.'" I heard Mum cry. 第二页
From the upstairs window, I watched my parents rush out to the car. I had never seen them happy. And I was also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home.
I ran downstairs. My socks still hung there flat. But I knew they were not empty; they were filled with love!

Driving while talking on a hand-held mobile phone has long been considered a danger. But even drivers who use hands free devices are a nuisance – because they are slowing everyone else down, according to a study.
David Strayer, a psychology professor in Utah University’s traffic lab, conducted a study involving 36 university students driving on motorways. Each used a hands free phone for half the trip bu t not for the other half. The students were told to obey posted speed limits and use turn signals but the rest of the driving decisions were up to them. What Strayer found is that when the drivers were distracted（使分心）by a phone conversation, they made fewer lane（车道）changes, drove slower and took longer to get where they were going. Fellow researcher Professor Peter Martin, who teaches civil and environmental engineering at Utah University, said, “Ordinarily a slower driver should be safer，but that’s not the case when people are talking on a cell phone.”
In general, drivers who used mobile phones while driving took three percent longer to drive along the same high-density route than drivers wh o didn’t. When stuck behind a dawdling(磨蹭的) driver, it took them between 25 and 50 seconds longer to switch to an open lane to overtake. Those delays can add up when you consider studies that suggest as many as 10 percent of US drivers are using a cell phone at any one time. And delays in traffic streams of very small amounts can grow into massively when drivers are crossing a highway.” Our next step is to use computer models to determine just how much those delays are costing drivers in time and in extra fuel costs,” Martin said.
25. What does the underlined word in the first paragraph mean?
A. A person who is a volunteer.
B. A person who breaks the traffic law
C. A person who causes trouble
D. A person who is annoyed by others.
26. Which of the following is TRUE , according to Martin?
A. The more slowly a person drove, the safer he was.
B. Measures should be taken to stop using mobile phones. 第三页
C. Drivers using hand-held phones had less effect on traffic than those using hands free phones
D. Driving while using mobile phones could cost drivers time and money.
27. The passage is mainly about .
A. traffic conditions in rush hours.
B. the use of mobile phones in the USA
C. using hands free devices behind the wheel
D. a comparison between hand-held phones and hands free ones
C
According to health experts, cancer will become the leading cause of death in the world
by the year 2016. An agency of the World Health Organization released a report on cancer
last month. Health experts predict the number of people who die from cancer will soon be
greater than deaths from AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria combined. The experts say more
people will die from cancer than heart disease, the leading killer now.
The report says one reason for the growing deaths of cancer is more people smoking
cigarettes in developing countries. The report says forty percent of the world’s smokers
are believed to live in China and India.
Other things are believed to have an effect. They include high fat diets , fast food
meals and reduced physical activity.
The WHO report about twelve million people will be found to have some forms of cancer
this year. It predicts that more than seven million people will die early from the disease.
And, more than five million of the new cancer cases will involve people in developing countries.
The number of cancer cases and deaths from cancer is expected to increase one percent each
year. Experts are predicting the largest increases will be in China, Russia and India.
Without new treatments, the WHO report says, the number of the new cancer patients could
increase to twenty seven million a year by 2030. The number of them who die each year from
the disease could reach seventeen million.
A few kinds of cancer are more common in some areas. For example, the rate of breast cancer in Japan, Singapore and Korea is now three times what it was forty years ago. Stomach cancer has become more common in some areas where food is often not stored in a cold place. Another report says the number of men and women dying from cancer has dropped in the United States. It is the first reported drop in American cancer cases and deaths since the nation began collecting such information.
28. Which of the following best shows the main idea of the passage ?
A. Different kinds of

B. today more people die from AIDS than cancer
C. cancer is particularly serious in developing countr ies

Public Speaking Training
? Get a coach
36 , so get help. Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses, here are some things to look for when deciding the training that’s right for you.
? Focus on positives
Any training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well. Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told
第五页
that you aren’t doing well. 37 , so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn’t do.
? 38
If you find a public speaking course that looks as though i t’s going to give you lots of dos and don’ts, walk away! Your brain is so full of what you’re going to be talking about.
39 As far as we’re concerned, there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking. Your audience can be your friends.
? Y ou are a special person not a clone
Most importantly, good public speaking training should treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits. 40 Your training course should help you bring out your personality, not try to turn you into someone you’re not.
A.You aren’t like anybody else
B. You already do lots of things well
C. Turn your back on too many rules
D. Check the rules about dos and don’ts
E. Whatever the presentation, public speaking is tough
F. The one thing you don’t want is for them to fall asleep
G. So trying to force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worse.

(66)interesting (67)by (68)it (69)fluently (70)confidence
【解析】
(1)句意：我们应该尽最大努力来实现我们的目标。try one's best to do sth.“尽力干某事”，是固定搭配，后要接动词不定式。故填to realize。
(2)句意：即使希望不大。此句是there be句型，表示“存在，有”。故填there。
(3)句意：在小学，我曾是个害羞的女孩。girl是可数名词，而且此处是泛指“一个”女孩，且shy 是以辅音音素开头的词。故填a。
(4)句意：我那时英语很差，尤其是口语。spoken做形容词时，表示“口语的”，spoken English “英语口语”，是固定搭配。故填spoken。
(5)句意：当我进入到我理想的中学时，一些事情就发生了改变。因after引导的状语从句用过去时，所以断定主句的动作也是过去发生的。故填changed。
(6)句意：我开始去读很多有趣的英语故事。此处是修饰名词story作定语，应用形容词interesting “有趣的”。故填interesting。
(7)句意：渐渐地，我发现学英语越来越有趣了。little by little表示“渐渐地”，是固定搭配。故填by。
(8)句意：渐渐地，我发现学英语越来越有趣了。分析句子结构可知，本句真正的宾语是动词不定式to learn English，但为了保持句子的平衡，避免句式结构的混乱，所以用it做形式宾语，故填it。
(9)句意：我甚至能流利地用英语与我的同学进行交谈了。此处是修饰动词词组talk with sb.，修饰动词要用副词。故填fluently。
(10)句意：我的英语获得了很好的成绩，而且我有信心在未来做得更好。空格处在句中做宾语，因此要用名词结构，形容词confident变为名词为confidence。故填confidence。

Learning English was one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. Although at times learning English was frustrating, it was well worth the effort. Not only did learning English teach me the value of hard work, but it also give me insights into another culture, and my mind was opened to new ways of seeing things. The most wonderful result of having learned English was that I could communicate with many more people when I visit to another country.
