For each blank, there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.I take the firm position that parents do not owe their children a college education. If they can _31_ it, they will certainly send them to the best universities. But they need not feel guilty if they cant. If the children really want to go, theyll find a _32_. There are plenty of loans and scholarships for the bright and _33_ ones who cant afford to pay.When children grow up and want to get married, their parents do not owe them a down payment on a house. They do not have the duty to baby-sit their grandchildren. If they want to do it, it must be considered a _34_ not an obligation (责任，义务).Do parents owe their children anything? Yes, they owe them a great deal.One of their obligations is to give their children a personal respect. A child who is constantly made to feel stupid and unworthy, constantly _35_ to brighter brothers, sisters, or cousins will become so unsure, so afraid of failing that he (or she) wont try at all. Of course they should be properly corrected when they do wrong, but its often better to let children learn their mistakes by themselves _36_ . All our parents should do is to trust them, respect them, tolerate (宽容) them and give them chances to try and fail. They must learn to stand failure. When criticisms (批评) are really needed, they should be _37_ with praises, with a smile and a kiss. That is the way children learn.Parents owe their children a set of solid values around _38_ to build their lives. This means teaching them to respect the rights and opinions of others; it means being respectful to elders, to teachers, and to the law. The best way to teach such values is by _39_. A child who is lied to will lie. A child who sees no laughter and no love in the home will have difficulty laughing and loving.No child asks to be _30_. If you bring a life into the world, you owe the child something.31. A. find B. get C. afford D. receive32. A. supply B. help C. hand D. way33. A. handsome B. honest C. eager D. wealthy34. A. favor B. pleasure C. habit D. service35. A. brought B. compared C. forced D. taken36. A. now and then B. in time C. at once D. right now37. A. mixed B. satisfiedC. shared D. balanced 38.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict(迷),” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled(皱的).” Today David wears casual clothes khaki pants and a sports shirt to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “Im working harder than ever,” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. In the United States, the changes from formal to casual office wear have been slow. In the early 1990s,many companies allowed their workers to wear casual clothes on Friday(but only on Friday).This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for workers has really become an everyday thing,” said business adviser Measly Jones.Why have so many companies started allowing their workers to wear casual clothes? One reason is that its easier for a company to attract new workers if it has a casual dress code. “A lot of young people dont want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so its hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study made by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that casual dress has a side effect on work. Supporters of casual office wear also say that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”41.

Ann Jarvis from Grafton, West Virginia, had started the idea to have a day to honor mothers. She was the one who chose the second Sunday in May and also began the custom of wearing a carnation.In 1909, Mrs. Dodd from Spokane, Washington, thought of the idea of a day to honor fathers. She wanted to honor her own father, William Smart. After her mother died, he had the responsibility of raising a family of five sons and a daughter. In 1910, the first Fathers Day was observed in Spokane. Senator Margaret Chase Smith helped to established Fathers Day as a national commemorative day, in 1972.These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care.These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mothers Day people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery. On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Fathers Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.46. According to the passage, which of the following about the second Sunday in May is NOT true? A. It is a day to show love to mothers. B.

More than 1000 locals and visitors strolled through the shady park each day, as temperatures remained in the comfortable 21C all weekend.All kinds of arts were on display and for sale. Prices ranged from a couple of dollars to a couple of thousand dollars.

Then I return to my country. That is where I do all my paintings, in our beautiful mountains.” Peter is a photographer. He travels throughout the southwest US.

The actors and crew of British movies will no longer be discouraged as the losers at Oscars awards ceremonies. At the recent 81st Oscars ceremony, British actors and movies won no less than 11 awards. The list of Oscar winners is usually dominated（主宰）by American films and actors, but 2009 has seen a more international favor to the ceremony. British actors and actresses have long awaited such global recognition. Kate Winslet was nominated(提名) six times for her brilliant performance in The Reader for an Oscar before she eventually won the Best Actress award at this years ceremony. Slumdog Millionaire lived up to its status as a global success and movie phenomenon. The low-budget movie won eight Oscars, including Best Director and Best Picture. The movie, which documents the life of a young Indian boy after he wins a TV game show, has definitely helped to raise the reputation of the British film industry. Summarizing the national feeling, British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, issued a statement saying “Britain is showing it has the talent to lead the world.” A spokesman for the UK Film Council agreed with Mr. Browns comments but added “many of this years movie winners have benefited from national funding and that last night proved that government support for film can deliver success on a global range”. Addressing the growing passion for British film, Slumdog Millionaire director Danny Boyle has urged people to remain calm and to be realistic after his remarkable Oscar success. “Youve got to be careful of claiming that this marks the renaissance of the British film industry. It is one film,” he said. 56. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. Slumdog Millionaire won all the Oscars this year. B. British film made a hit at the 81st Oscar.C.
