She was one of the most beloved singers of the post-war era. Take her “Tennessee Waltz” for example； it sold more than 10 million copies and was her biggest hit. Born in Claremore, Oklahoma, a small town near Tulsa, Page originally dreamed of a career in commercial art. Her first job in the art department at a local radio station soon led to performing on her own 15-minute program. At age 20, Page was discovered by big-band leader Jack Rael, who quit his job to become her manager. In 1948, she signed her first recording contract with Mercury Records and two years later enjoyed her first hit record. She stayed with Mercury for the next 14 years and recorded hit after hit including: “With My Eyes Wide Open, Im Dreaming,” and “Old Cape Cod”. Her last hit was “HushHush, Sweet Charlotte,” recorded for the Bette Davis movie of the same name. And then, there was “Doggie In The Window.” The creative tune was a huge hit, but with its repeated barking sounds and silly lyrics(歌词 ), the song has been used by many people as an example of all that was wrong with pop music in the early 1950s. Throughout the 1950s, Patti Page made regular appearances on television variety shows and 7 in 1957 she was chosen to host the musical program, “The Big Record.” The following year, Page appeared in her own CBS television series, “The Patti Page Show.” She continued to record and perform into the 21st century, most recently releasing an album of songs for children, a Christmas record, and a new “best of” collection. Besides music, Patti Page did a bit of acting. She co-starred with the Oscar-winning Burt Lancaster in “Elmer Gantry,” and also starred on stage in the musical play “Annie Get Your Gun.” 56. According to the passage, Patti Page _. A. wanted to be a singer as a child B. was born in a small town in 1927 C. was known mainly for her acting skills D. started his work as a TV program hostess 57. According to the passage, which one of her following recorded songs was criticized? A. “Old Cape Cod.” B. “HushHush, Sweet Charlotte.” C. “Doggie In The Window.” D. “With My Eyes Wide Open, Im Dreaming.” 58.The “Tennessee Waltz” is mentioned in the passage in order to show that _. A. Patti Page was a beloved singer B. Patti Pages songs were successful C. Patti Page was the top-selling female artist D. Patti Page was good at recording songs 59. It is inferred from the passage that _. A. Patti Page gave up singing in public in her late life B. Patti Pages gift in art began to be shown in her teens C. Patti Pages great success was due to her hardworking and others help D. Patti Page was not only a successful singer but also a successful actress B How can you help kids cope with （对付） stress? Proper rest and good nutrition can improve coping skills, so can good parenting. Make time for your kids each day. Whether they need to talk with you or just be in the same room with you, make yourself available. 8 Even as kids get older, quality time is important. Its really hard for some people to come home after a tiring day of work, get down on the floor, and play with their kids or just talk to them about their day - especially if theyve had a stressful day themselves. But expressing interest in your kids shows that they re important to you. Help your child deal with stress by talking about what may be causing it. Together, you can come up with a few solutions. For example, he should cut back on after-school activities, spending more time talking with his parents or teachers, developing an exercise plan or keeping a journal. You can also help by predicting potentially stressful situations and preparing kids for them. For example, let a child know ahead of time, but not too far ahead of time, that a doctors appointment is coming up and talk about what will happen there. Keep in mind, though, that younger kids probably wont need too much advance preparation. Too much information can cause more stress. Remember that some level of stress is normal, Let kids know that its OK to feel angry, scared, lonely, or anxious and that other people share those feelings, too. When kids cant or wont discuss these problems, try talking about your own concerns. This shows that youre willing to handle tough topics and are available to talk with when theyre ready. If a child shows symptoms that concern you and is unwilling to talk, consult a counselor （顾问）or other mental health experts. Most parents have the skills to cope with their childrens stress. The time to seek professional attention is when any change in behavior continues to exist, when stress is causing serious anxiety, or when the behavior is causing significant problems in functioning at school or at home. 60. What is the purpose of the text? A. To share the authors ideas on proper parenting. B. To persuade parents to spend more time with their kids. C. To advise parents how to help their kids deal with stress. D. To seek different ways to help solve kids problems. 61. Why do some parents feel it difficult to spare quality time for their kids? A. Their kids are growing so fast. B. They have too much housework. C. Their kids are losing interest in them. D. They are tired out after work. 9 62. You are advised not to talk too much about a stressful situation in advance because _. A. it does no good to your kids B. it doesnt work in practice C. your kids may not feel stressed D. your kids dont want to listen 63.What can we learn from the text? A. Normal people share the same feelings. B. It is normal for kids to have some stress. C. Kids should get rid of the negative feelings. D. Everybody feels angry, scared, lonely or anxious. C A sunflower is a sunflower. A mobile phone is a mobile phone. But can you combine the two to do something for your local environment? As early as next year it may well be possible. When you have finished with your mobile phone you will be able to bury it in the garden or a plant pot and wait for it to flower. A biodegradable (生物可降解的 ) mobile phone was, this month, introduced by scientists. It is hoped that the new type of phone will encourage consumers to recycle. Scientists have come up with a new material over the last five years. It looks like any other plastic and can be hard or soft, and able to change shape. Overtime it can also break down into the soil without giving out any toxic (有毒的 ) chemicals. British researchers used the new material to develop a phone cover that contains a sunflower seed. When this new type of cover turns into waste, it forms nitrates (硝酸盐 ). These feed the seed and help the flower grow. Engineers have designed a small transparent (透明的 ) window to hold the seed. They have made sure it only grows when the phone is thrown away. Weve only put sunflower seeds into the covers so far. But we are working with plant experts to find out which flowers would perform best. Maybe we could put roses in next time, said one scientist. As phone technology is developing so quickly people are constantly (经常地 ) throwing their mobiles away. This means manufacturers are under pressure to find ways of recycling them. Some 650 million mobile phones have been sold this year. Most of them will be thrown away within two years, adding plastic, heavy metal and chemical waste to the environment. A 10 biodegradable cover can offer some relief for nature, according to the scientists. The seed is released and the flower grows in the pot so you dont have to concern yourself with the phone when you have finished using it, said Kerry Kirwan. She leads the research team, which is based at the University of Warwick in Britain. 64. After you have finished using the new type of mobile phone, _. A. the sunflower seed will come out and flower wherever you throw it B. the phone cover will break down easily in the soil which you bury it in C. it will be recycled by the manufactures D. it can recharge itself in an environmental friendly way 65. Which of the following is wrong about the cover of the new type of phone? A.It can provide useful fertilizer (肥料 ) for the sunflower seed after the mobile phone breaks down. B.It looks like normal plastics but it can break down. C.It can serve as the storage for the sunflower seed. D.It makes sure the seed only grows after the phone is thrown away. 66. This type of research is done because _. A.the technology that produces mobile phones is changing rapidly B.consumers tend to throw away their mobile phones within two years C.nobody has ever thought of recycling mobile phones D.producing mobile phones uses a lot of energy, so this has become a very big problem for the environment 67.We can infer from the story _. A.the new type of mobile phone is already on the market B.the new type of mobile phone will sell extremely well C.recycling mobile phones is increasingly important to the environment D.other flowers may be used in the new type of cell phone D A policeman was questioning 3 blondes who were training to become detectives To test their skills in recognizing a suspect, he shows the first blonde a picture for5 seconds and then hides it 11 “This is your suspect, how would you recognize him? The first blonde answers, Thats easy, well catch him fast because he only has one eye! The policeman says, Well uh thats because the picture shows his profile Slightly confused by this ridiculous response, he flashes the picture for 5 seconds at the second blonde and asks her, This is your suspect, how would you recognize him? The second blonde giggles, flips her hair and says, Ha! Hed be too easy to catch because he only has one ear! The policeman angrily responds, Whats the matter with you two? Of course only one eye and one ear are SHOWING because its a picture of his profile! Is that the best answer you can come up with? Extremely frustrated at this point, he shows the picture to the third blonde and in a very testy voice asks This is your suspect, how would you recognize him? He quickly adds, Think hard before giving me a stupid answer The blonde looks at the picture intently for a moment and says, Hmmmmthe suspect wears contact lenses The policeman is surprised and speechless because he really doesnt know himself if the suspect wears contacts or not Well, thats an interesting answer wait here for a few minutes while I check his file and Ill get back to you on that He leaves the room and goes to his office, checks the suspects file in his computer, and comes back with a beaming smile on his face Wow! I cant believe it its TRUE! The suspect does in fact wear contact lenses Good work! How were you able to make such an acute observation? Thats easy, the blonde replied He cant wear regular glasses because he only has one eye and one ear 68 Why did the policeman show a picture to the three blondes? A To inquire about their relationship with the suspect B To test their potential of being detectives C To train them as qualified police officers D To show the skills in recognizing a suspect 69. Whats the policemans attitude towards the first blondes answer? A Angry B Puzzled C Embarrassed D Satisfied 12 70. What did the second blonde think of the task? A Demanding B Easy C Ridiculous D Confusing 71 How did the third blonde know that the suspect wore contact lenses? A By coincidence B By random guess C By logical and reasonable analysis D By checking the file in the computer E There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds. People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend(hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing(批评 ) and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation(模仿 ). It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit. Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others； nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact(接触 ) with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up 13 in their quarrels. 72. People who are unhappy _. A. always consider things differently from others B. usually are affected by the results of certain things C. usually misunderstand what others think or say D. always discover the unpleasant side of certain things 73. We can conclude from the passage that _. A. we should pity all such unhappy people B. such unhappy people are dangerous to social life C. people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness D. unhappy people can not understand happy persons 74. If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should _. A. prevent any communication with them B. show no respect and politeness to them C. persuade them to recognize the bad effects D. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes 75. In this passage, the writer mainly _. A. describes two types of people B. laughs at the unhappy people C. suggests the unhappy people should get rid of the habits of unhappiness D. tells people how to be happy in life 第 卷 （非选择题，共 35 分） 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分 35 分） 第一节 任务型阅读（共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 10 分） 阅读下面短文，并根据所读的内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。 注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上，每个空格只填写一个单词。 If I have to choose three critical factors in achieving success in my career, these would be my choicesbelief, action and discipline. 14 Belief In order to achieve success in your career, you have to first believe. You need to believe that you can achieve it. You need to have faith in your goals and your path to success. Once your mind is convinced that you can do it, everything is possible. Belief is the “mind and heart” part of the three critical success factors. Action Nothing moves until you do something. Believing alone is not going to achieve anything. It must be followed up with concrete action. Your plan for career success is nothing unless you act upon it wholeheartedly. When you act upon what you believe, there is focus. And there is energy. That energy propels (drives forward) you to greater heights. Action is the “hands and legs” part of the three critical success factors. Discipline Action in itself is not enough to increase the chances of success. But disciplined action would do that. One of the main reasons why people fail is that there is no discipline in their action. They give themselves excuses when they cannot consistently go ahead with their plans. You need some form of sacrifice(牺牲 )if you want to achieve success in your career. That sacrifice takes discipline. Discipline also ensures that you can be persistent(坚持的 ), especially when youre faced with challenges after challenges in your journey to success. Discipline is the “untiring, determined hands and legs” part of the three critical success factors. When what you think, feel and do become one, there is nothing that can stop you from achieving career success. Topic How can you 76._in your career？ 77._ Belief You need to feel 78._ about your goals and your path to success. Once you are convinced that you can do it, nothing is 79._. 15 Action You must act on your plan for career success 80._ and soul. You must devote all your 81._so that you can reach greater heights. Discipline It means that you must 82._yourself. You need to 83._ something when you gain something. You must be persistent when you are faced with 84._. 85._ If you combine all the three factors, you are sure to achieve career success. 第二节 书面表达（满分 25 分） 不同的人有不同的幸福观。你校学生会近来对你校 100 名学生的幸福观进行了调查。调查内容及结果如下： 人数 幸福观 原因 32% 财富 可以买到任何事物 45% 健康 享乐 23% 知识 有好的未来 请根据以上调查结果，用英文写一篇短文。字数 100120. 写作内容： （ 1）此次调查的对象和内容；（ 2）所调查学生的不同观点及理由；（ 3）你的认识。 16 英语参考答案 听力： 1-5CBACB 6-10 CAAAB 11-15 BBCBA 16-20 BABBC 单项选择： 2125 BDBAC 26-30 CBCAD 31-35 BDCCA 完形填空： 【文章大意】一颗自卑的种子从来不认为自己很重要，一天风把种子吹到了 田野里，在阳光雨露的滋润下种子长成了参天大 树，旅行者们累了，都会在这里休息一下。一天，一个疲惫的旅行者在大树下休息，和种子聊起天，种子才意识到自己已经重生成为大树，为人们纳凉，意识到自己生命的可贵。 36.A 因为他仅仅是一粒渺小的种子，没有人注意到他。此处 only 仅仅； right 刚好； such 如此； rather 非常。故选 A 项。 37.
