I was looking forward to（盼望着）having five fays off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought Id hitch a ride (搭便车) . 。 I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldnt give me a lift, I should e back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful （疑心的）as a young girl but he assured（使放心）me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home. Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favor Id been given decades earlier. I pulled over (靠边停车) and picked him up. I made him fortable on the back seat and offered him some water. After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You havent changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.” I couldnt remember where Id met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.21. The author had to hitch a ride one day in 1978 because .

Since then, more than a dozen small colleges and schools have done the same. The ban isnt because the schools dont want students to have easy access to water. Instead, the goal is to encourage students to bring reusable bottles to save money and, more importantly, to save the environment.Many people believe that producing and using bottled water not only wastes money but also harms the environment. They say that bottled water is unnecessary because public water supplies in the U.S. are among the best in the world. These people believe that water fountains and reusable bottles with easy access to filling stations are a better choice.But the makers of bottled water argue that plastic bottles make up a small part of the nations total waste. They say its unfair to single out (单独挑出) their product when so many other items are packaged (包装) in plastic containers, and whats more, water is a healthy choice pared to some sodas and juices that are also sold at school.What do you think: Should sales of bottled water be banned from schools? We want to hear your opinion. Write a 200-word response. Send it to tfkasks4youtimeforkids. . Your response may be published in a future issue of Time For Kids. Please include your grade level and contact information for your parent or teacher if you want your response to be published.

A listener in Vietnam would like to learn more about this bleeding disorder.When people get cut, they bleed. Usually, a protein in the blood, called a clotting (凝块) factor, stops the bleeding. People with hemophilia do not have the protein. They may bleed longer than other people after an accident or injury. Losing too much blood can be life-threatening.People with hemophilia can pass it to their children. Generally, the disorder affects only men and boys. It affects about one in every five thousand males. Women who carry the hemophilia gene are called carriers (携带者). Each son of a carrier has a fifty percent of having the disorder. Each daughter has a fifty percent chance of being a carrier.About thirty percent of hemophilia cases are related to someone with no family history of the disorder. Scientists believe these cases result from changes in genetic material.Blood tests can help to show if someone has hemophilia. Signs are first observed when the person is a baby or child. There may be bleeding into muscles or joints, resulting in damaged areas of skin. Or the person may bleed longer than expected after an injury.Hemophilia is a lifelong condition. There is no cure. Yet there is an effective treatment for hemophilia. Doctors can give clotting factors to patients in blood products. Experts urge patients to see a doctor or health care worker who has experience with treating the disorder. Experts also advise patients to stay active and exercise.33. The passage is probably taken from _.A. an economic magazine B. a TV program C. a radio program D. a book about hemophilia 34. Which of the following is TRUE about hemophilia?A. it cant be cured B. It wont be passed to a child by its parents.C. people with it have protein which can stop the bleeding D. It has a greater effect on females than on males.35. People with hemophilia can do the following EXCEPT that _.A. ask doctors to give clotting factors to them in blood productsB. take part in some sports C. take medicines to avoid passing hemophilia to childrenD. see an expert in bleeding disorder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。选项中有两项为多于选项。(注意：请把答案涂到答题卡81-85处)When I was a kid my parents sent me to a summer camp in New Hampshire._36_At the camp we did tons of great things like swimming, sports, and archery（箭术）, but for me, the most memorable experience was an overnight trip of mountain climbing.If youve ever hiked a mountain, you know its a physical challenge, especially when youre carrying your food and shelter on your back._37_“How much farther is it？”“My pack is too heavy.Can you carry it for me？”The reply of the teachers was, “Suck it up.” The truth is, the plaining campers were nowhere near the point of exhaustion.If they had been, the teachers would have noticed the signs and given them care._38_Once they realized they werent getting any sympathy they overcame the disfort, and in most cases ended up having a great time._39_You can plain, or you can make the best of it.If you plain, you might feel like youre getting the negative energy out, but youre probably not going to cause a positive change.Its much more likely that your plaining will arouse the dislike of those around you.No one likes a plainer.plaining makes life harder for everyone._40_AThe summer camp was interesting but full of plaint.BThe kids simply werent used to the physical challenge.CIts no use plaining and it cant bring us what we want.DThis was a great experience for me.EThere are two ways to deal with an unpleasant situation.FWhen campers got tired, they certainly started plaining.GWe should plain less and make more effort.第三部分：语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didnt already know.
