The author writes this passage to _.A. tell how to make Rabbit Ears Walkie -TalkiesB. show how to use Rabbit Ears Walkie -TalkiesC. explain to the readers his camping experienceD. introduce some special ways to make friendsBHearing the Sweetest Songs My parents said I lost my hearing as a baby, but I knew I hadnt lost anything. None of my parts had dropped off. Nothing had changed: I could hear music that was close enough to me. I could also hear my mom when she was in the same room. I could even hear my cat purr if I put my good ear on top of him. I wasnt aware of any hearing loss until I began to wear a hearing aid when I started living alone. I noticed it ruined my peace of mind: pencils tapping, phones ringing, and refrigerators humming. Then, I began to discover many things I couldnt do. I couldnt tell where sounds came from, nor could I tell fire alarms from burglar alarms. I once missed a job interview because I misheard the address on the phone. For the first time, I had to admit that I had lost something.Unlike a wheelchair, my disability doesnt announce itself. When I got jobs, I chose to keep it as a secret. One day a business friend said, “Nicolette, sometimes in meetings you answer the wrong questions. People dont know you cant hear, so they think youre strange, stupidor just plain rude. It would be better to just tell them.” But I knew if I told, people might see only my disability, and they might forget that I was also a writer, a painter, and a good gardener. I felt disabled and helpless.This bothered me till I met my husband. One morning at the shore I was listening to the sounds of the sea when my husband said, “Hear the bird?” “What bird?” I listened hard until I heard a tiny sound. If he hadnt mentioned it I would never have noticed it. As I listened, slowly I began to hearor perhaps imaginea distant song. Did I really hear it? Or just heard in my heart what he shared with me? I realized that songs imagined were as sweet as songs heard and songs shared were sweeter still. This sharing is what both the disabled and non-disabled want. Every one of us, if we live long enough, will become disabled in some way. Lets share. Now, just let me see your lips when you speak. And ask what you want to know. These are conversations we all should have, and its not that hard to begin. 25. When the author wore the hearing aid, she _. A. felt better prepared for the job interviews B. was able to enjoy different sounds C. experienced a sense of loss D. was teased by others26. She didnt tell her disability to others because _. A. people might focus on her hearing loss B. she could get the work done as abled C. people might be curious about it D. she wanted to do more jobs27. Why did Nicolette write the passage? A. To draw peoples attention to the hearing problem. B. To tell people not to treat the disabled differently. C. To remember the challenges she faced. D. To show how much she missed before. C When Joan gave birth to the first boy in her family in three generations, she and her husband were overjoyed. So were her parents. Joan expected her elder sister, Sally, to be just as delighted as them. Joan had always admired Sally-the beauty and the star of the family-and felt happy about her achievements. But since the babys arrival, the sisters have become distant. Joan feels hurt for Sally seems completely uninterested in her baby. Sally, who has no children, claims that her younger sister “acts as if no one ever had a baby before.” Neither Sally nor Joan understands that the real cause of the current coldness is that their family roles have suddenly changed to the opposite. Finally Joan seems to be better than her elder sister-and Sally doesnt like it! Their distance may be temporary, but it shows that childhood competition dont fade easily as ages grow. It can remain powerful in relationships throughout life. In a study of the University of Cincinnati, 65 men and women between ages 25 and 93 were asked how they felt about their brothers and sisters. Nearly 75 percent admitted having hidden competitive feelings. In a few cases, these emotions were so strong as to have affected their entire lives. Many adult brothers and sisters are close, supportive-yet still tend to compete. Two brothers I know turn into killers when on opposite sides of a tennis net. Off the court, they are the best of friends. My own younger sister cant wait to tell me when Ive put on weight. However, shes a terrible cook and that pleases me; I tease her when she comes to dinner. Happily, despite these small failings, we have been an important resource for each other. In between the very competitive and the generally supportive children lie those who say that no friendship should survive. Some brothers and sisters stay at arms length, but never give up competition completely. Why do these puzzling, unproductive, often painful relationships continue to exist?28. When Joans son was born, Sally_.A. felt very happy B. felt not delighted C. moved away D. admired her a lot 29. What happens to childrens desire to compete with their brothers and sisters? A. It sometimes will disappear when they grow up. B. It will never disappear throughout life. C. It will improve their relationships when they grow up. D. It will never harm their relationships when they grow up.30. Why does the authors sister often tell her when shes put on weight? A. Because she wants the author to go on a diet. B. Because she wants the author to stop calling her a bad cook. C. Because she wants to make fun of the authors weight. D. Because she wants to be honest with the author.31. The underlined sentence means that although some brothers and sisters _ . A. live near each other, they still have competitions B. live away from each other, they stop their competitions C. live together, they often think of ending their competitions D. live within a big family, they often try to end their competitionsDMany facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this. Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food. There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives. There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime(消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports. The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.32. According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?A. Those who often do sports.B. Those who often watch television.C. Those who often have meals at home.D. Those who often walk to school.33. The author thinks that children are becoming overweight because _.A. they cant choose what to eatB. they are too busy to go out and playC. their parents often cook meals for themD. there are too many fast food shops around34. The word “steering” underlined in the last sentence most probably means _.A. forcing B. guiding C. driving D. moving35. The main purpose of the text is to _.A. tell a story B. provide facts C. give advice D. compare opinions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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever wondered why birds sing? 36 After all, you probably sing or whistle when you are happy. Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. 37 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(声称) as its won. 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. 38 If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him. 39 But he expects an outsider almost all the 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 birds song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away. Birds sing loudest in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate(配偶) and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs. 40 Most of it has to do with attracting males and setting up territories.A. A bird does the same thing.B. Maybe you thought that they were just happy.C. Shouting loudly is just like a birds screaming.D. You can see that birds have a language of their own.E. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away.F. However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason.G. So, just like human beings, birds sing for almost the same reasons.第三部分：完形填空 (共20小题; 每小题1.5分,满分30分) 阅读下面短文。从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Searra, an eight-year-old brain cancer patient, was a “regular” in the Radiation Department. With my office located near the 41 , I could hear Searra, also called CC, coming.

When she walked into the 43 , it was time to socialize with us and to see what she could color for 44 before her treatment.I was surprised by the love CC had for Mommie. 45 I asked her about home life, or how she was feeling, every reply referred to her time 46 with Mommie, the funny stories they 47 and how much she loved her. When CC was first 48 with radiation treatment, the therapists (治疗专家) told her theyd give her a quarter each day if she promised to keep her 49 still on the treatment table.

I have never heard her 56 about her hairless head, swollen(肿胀的) body or 57 energy level, which keeps her from playing outside.CC reminds me not to 58 the love people give us for granted and to look beyond the superficiality(表面情况) that is often found in daily life.
