I. 阅读理解（共40分，每小题2分）第一节 A My mom just bought me a new bike. Since my cousin Mary didnt have a bike with her, she walked next to me. I thought that Mary would jump on the luggage carrier (行李架) over the back tire when I was riding. Mom knew exactly what I was thinking. “Dont ride the bike with Mary on the back,” she said. “Its too dangerous. You could kill yourself. Take turns.” I nodded, but I was thinking I could handle this. A few minutes later, I turned right to a wide road. “Jump on the back,” I told Mary. I rode fast, laughing as the wind blew through our hair. It was exciting, until the handlebar (车把) started shaking. The front tire dropped into a drain (下水道) and I fell off the bike, still holding the handlebar. My face, hands, and knees crashed into the pavement. The pain in my mouth was unbearable, and I tasted blood. I turned towards Mary who was on the ground, holding her knee and crying. Seconds later, it seemed that my moms car stopped next to us. I wanted Mom to say, “Oh, my poor sweetheart. Let me hug you and everything will be fine.”However, my mom only said, “What have you done to your face? Vanessa,look at what youve done!” Mom wasnt the gentle “I love you, sweetie” type. Sometimes, I thought Mom had no mercy. But in her own way, she was holding me tighter than I could understand she was teaching me the lesson I needed. “You did it deal with it and learn from it. One day, the consequences (后果) will be greater and I wont be there to help you. Think it out, Vanessa.”1. We can learn from the text that . A. Vanessa fell because she didnt hold the handlebar B.

It is also the color of most growing plants.Sometimes, the word green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet ripe or finished. A greenhorn is someone who has no experience. who is new to a situation. But in the fifteenth century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose home had not yet developed. A century or so later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battle. By the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today-a person who is new in a job.Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. The expression comes from the early nineteen hundreds. A person, with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.The green-eyed monster is not a nightening creature from outer space, It is an expression used about four hundred years ago by British writer William Shakespeare in his play Othello. It describes the unpleasant feeling a person has when someone has something he wants. A young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else. Or, that green-eyed monster may affect your friend if you get a pay raise and she does not.In most places in the world, a green light is a signal to move ahead.

C It is said that a person has about 6,000 thoughts every day. Yet, of the 6,000 thoughts you have today, ninety percent of these are the same as the 6,000 you had yesterday and the day before, leaving little room for new thoughts. No wonder life can seem tedious at times. Unless you start to think differently, you are to continue to create and repeat the same old reality every day. Is it not time to change your thoughts, enliven your dreams and let reality catch up?Most of our thoughts and actions are habits, and we go thought the same motions each day, with little change in our behaviors or outlook. What would happen if you challenged these habits or customs? What if you were to step out of your comfort zone and explore new ideas or new ways or doing things? Would your life not change as a result?Thought is a form of energy. Does this energy keep you forward or hold you back? You have a choice about the thoughts you think. How many times in the past have you chosen to disregard your positive thoughts and focus on your negative(消极的) thoughts? At this moment, if you were to be at ease and to focus on your positive thoughts while discounting your negative thoughts, how would your life change?To realize your dreams, pay attention to what is happening around you.

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?12.

Let the sunshine in.Falling leaves, withering flowers, cold winds, faint sunshine. 16 Spirits can be low. 新*课*标*第*一*网People who suffer from the autumn blues often are extremely exhausted, lack energy, need more sleep, feel increased appetite and gain weight. The exact cause of this condition, often called seasonal depression or seasonal affective disorder （SAD）, is not known yet, says Chen Jue, associate professor at Shanghai Mental Health Center. But recent studies indicate that weather change is influential and strongly suggest that this condition is caused by changes in the availability of sunlight. One theory is that with decreased exposure to sunlight, the biological clock that controls mood, sleep, and hormones is delayed, running more slowly in winter. 17 . Another theory is that brain chemicals that transmit(传输) information between nerves may be changed in individuals with SAD. It is believed that exposure to light can correct these imbalances. “ 18 Remember, spring always lives in your heart, Chen says. Here are some tips to deed with autumn depression. Go outdoors and get some sunlight. Move around. Fresh air and exercise improve the respiratory（呼吸）system and blood circulation and regulate the nervous system.
