It is called Auld Lang Syne (友谊地久天长). It is the traditional music played during the New Years celebration. Auld Lang Syne is an old Scottish poem. It tells about the need to remember old friends.The words “auld lang syne” mean “old long since”. No one knows who wrote the poem first. However, a version by Scottish poet Robert Bums was published (出版) in 1796. The words and music we know today first appeared in a songbook three years later.The song is played in the United States mainly on New Years Eve. The version (译文) you are hearing today is by the Washington Saxophone Quartet. As we end our program with Auld Lang Syne. I would like to wish all of our radio friends a very Happy New Year! This is Buddy Thomas.21. Where is this passage from?A. A newspaper. B. A magazine. C. A TV program. D. A radio program.22. When is Auld Lang Syne mainly played in the USA according to the passage?A. On New Years Eve. B. On Christmas Eve. C. On weekends.D. On holidays.23. Whats Auld Lang Syne about?A. Its about the history of Scotland. B. Its about an old Scottish poet.C. Its about the need to remember old friends. D. Its about the wishes to the radio friends.B“Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings. “Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything.When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, “Its cool.” You may think, “Hes so cool,” when you see your favourite footballer. We all maximize the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising”. Heres an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall they had visited. On one students paper was just the one sentence, “Its so cool.” Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt. But the story also shows a scarcity(缺乏) of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility(可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool.24.

Just try to keep your one-year olds from sticking the dogs bone in their mouth!Although health authorities suggest regular hand washing, its difficult not to worry about what your children are getting into and the effect it will have on their health. Infectious(传染的) diseases are a great cause for concern, but some would argue that our society has gone overboard when it comes to protecting our kids from bacteria(细菌).An increasing body of research suggests that exposing little kids to bacteria may offer them greater protection from illnesses such as allergies(过敏) later on in life. Its believed that when exposure to bacteria and viruses is limited early in life, children face a greater chance of having allergies and other autoimmune (自身免疫的)diseases during adulthood. In fact, kids with older brothers and sisters who grew up on a farm seem to show lower rates of allergies.Just as a babys brain needs stimulation, input, and interaction to develop normally, the young immune(免疫的) system is strengthened by exposure to everyday bacteria so that it can learn, adapt, and regulate itself, notes Thom McDade, PhD, associate professor and director of the Laboratory for Human Biology Research at Northwestern University.Exactly which bacteria seem to do the trick hasnt yet been confirmed. But new research offers clues. In a recent study, McDades team found that children who were exposed to more dirt and had more cases of diarrhea (腹泻) before age 2 had lower rates of inflammation (炎症) that has been linked to many adulthood diseases such as heart disease in adulthood.Were moving beyond this idea that the immune system is just involved in allergies and autoimmune diseases to think about its role in inflammation and other diseases, “McDade ”says. “Exposure to bacterium early in life may play an important role in preventing inflammation in adulthood.”32. What can we learn from the passage?A. Exposure to bacteria as a child can help protect him or her from some illnesses later in life.B. Kids with older brothers and sisters have lower rates of allergies.C. Exposure to bacterium will increase the chance of having allergies in adulthood.D. Parents should protect their kids from exposure to bacteria.33. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to _ .A. a babys brain B. the young immune systemC. exposure to everyday bacterium D. a babys body34. If a kid is exposed to dirt before age 2, he may_. A. have fewer cases of diarrhea in adulthoodB. develop a worse immune system than others C. be more likely to have allergies later in lifeD. be less likely to develop heart disease in adulthood35. What is the authors attitude towards kids exposure to bacteria?A. Dissatisfied. B. Negative. C. Supportive. D. Angry.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。How to stay in shape during the winter Staying in shape during the long, cold winter is more difficult than at any other time of year.

It can help us to develop the habit of thinking in English. 64 we persist in this practice, gradually well learn how to express ourselves in English. In keeping a diary in English, we certainly run up against many 65 (difficult). Firstly, it often happens that we have trouble 66 (find) appropriate words and phrases to give expression to our mind. Secondly, there are many idiomatic ways of saying things in Chinese. And 67 is extremely hard for us to put them into English properly.As far as I am concerned, my suggestion is 68 we should always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach. Whenever something 69 (beat) us, we can first put it down in our notebook and then consult our dictionary. We can also turn 70 our English teacher for help, if necessary. In short, I believe that it is of great use to keep a diary in English for the development of our writing skills.第四部分写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） On January 5th, students in our school visited Robot World, which we saw a great diversity of robots.
