B When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farmland, in the winter especially, we were quite cut off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that my life has problems too. One big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and at times the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous. Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever you tastes in culture or entertainment(娱乐活动). Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising - and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away. Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is , when you are in your teens(十几岁)or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon. 60. What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child? A. Staying on the farm. B. Moving to the countryside. C. Leaving home for the city. D. Running away from the school. 61. Which of the following is true about the writer? A. He is very old now. B. He is in good health. C. He prefers driving a car. D. He lives in the city now. 62. In the passage, the writer tries to _. A. express his opinions about way of life B. describe his life in the countryside C. show an interest in the outside world D. persuade the reader to live in the city C Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it. Recite and repeat in conversation. When you hear a persons name，repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial(假装的). Ask the other person to recite and repeat.来源:Zxxk.Com You can let other people help you remember their names. After youve been introduced to someone，ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort youre making to learn their names. Admit you dont know. Admitting that you cant remember someones name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say, “Im working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?” Use associations(联想). Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example，you could make a mental note: “Vicki Cheng - tall, black hair.“ To reinforce(加强) your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible. Limit the number of new names you learn at one time. When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later. Go early. Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. Thats fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to othersan automatic review for you. 63. How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names? A. They will be moved. B. They will be annoyed. C. They will be delighted. D. They will be discouraged 64. If you cant remember someones name, you may _ A. tell him the truth B. tell him a white lie C. ask him for pity D. ask others to help you 65. When you meet a group of people, it is better to remember _ A. all their names B. a couple of names first C. just their last name s D. as many names as possible 66. What does the text mainly tell us? A. Tips on an important social skill. B. Importance of attending parties. C. How to make use of associations. D. How to recite and repeat names. D I suddenly heard an elephant crying as though frightened. Looking down, I immediately recognized that something was wrong, and ran down to the edge of the near bank. There I saw Ma Shwe with her three-month-old calf(幼象) struggling in the fast- rising water and it was a life-and-death struggle. Her calf was floating and screaming with fear. Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get, holding her whole body against the rushing water, and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body . Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf away. There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mothers body and was gone. Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk（象鼻）against the rocky bank. Then with a huge effort, she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock. Just at this moment, she fell back into the river. If she were carried down, it would be certain death. I knew, as well as she did ,that there was one spot（地点）where she could get up the bank, but it was on the other side from where Shwe had put her calf. While I was wondering what I could do next, I heard the sound of a mothers love. Ma Shwe had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as Shwe could roaring（吼叫）all the time, but to her calf it was music. 67The moment the author got down to the rive r bank he saw_. Athe calf was about to fall into the river BMa Shwe was placing the calf on the rock Cthe calf was washed away by the rising water DMa Shwe was holding the calf against the rushing water 68How did Ma Shwe manage to save her calf from the fast-flowing water? ABy putting it on a safe spot. BBy pressing it against her body. CBy taking it away with her. DBy carrying it on her back. 69How did the calf feel about the mother elephants roaring? AIt was a great comfort. BIt was a sign of danger. CIt was a call for help. DIt was a musical note. 70What can be the best title for the text? AA Mothers Love BA Brave Act CA Deadly River DA Matter of Life and Death 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题 卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Forgiveness To forgive is a virtue(美德 ), but no one has ever said it is easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research. 71 Try the following steps: Calm yourself. 72 You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love. Dont wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just dont see things the same way. _73_Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you. Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者 ). Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain. Instead of focusing on your mounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. _74_If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offenders point of view. Dont forget to forgive yourself. 75 But it can rob you of your self- confidence if you dont do it. A. Why should you forgive? B. How should you start to forgive? C. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness. D. Try to see things from your offenders angle. E. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge. F. To make your anger die away, try a simple stress-management technique. G. If you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time. 第卷 第三部分 写作（共两节，共 35 分） 第一节 短文改错（共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，共 10 分） 下面短文中有 10 处 语言错误。请在有错误的地方增加、删除或修改某个单词。 增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（） ，并在其下面写出该加的词。 删除：把多余的词用斜线（）划掉。 修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。 注意： 1. 每句不超过两个错误； 2. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词； 3. 只允许修改 10 处，多者（从第 11 处起）不计分。 My classmate, Joseph, is at present in hospital with a breaking leg .He was walking to school the other day when he let a bicycle ran right into him .He never watches where he is going ,so he often gets into the trouble.
