Henry was a pen name used by an American writer of short stories. His real name was William Sydney Porter. He was born in North Carolina in 1862. As a young boy he lived an exciting life. He did not go to school for very long, but he managed to teach himself everything he needed to know. When he was about 20 years old, O. Henry went to Texas, where he tried different jobs. He first worked on a newspaper, and then had a job in a bank. When some money went missing from the bank, O. Henry was believed to have stolen it. Because of that, he was sent to prison. During the three years in prison, he learned to write short stories. After he got out of prison, he went to New York and continued writing. He wrote mostly about New York and the life of the poor there. People liked his stories, because simple as the tales were, they would finish with a sudden change at the end, to the readers surprise.21. O. Henry went to prison because_.

The best way of learning English is talking in English as much as possible. Sometimes youll get your words mixed up and people will not understand you. Sometimes people will say things too quickly and you cant understand them. But if you keep your sense of humor, you can always have a good laugh at the mistakes you make. Dont be unhappy if people seem to be laughing at your mistakes. Its better for people to laugh at your mistakes than to be angry with you, because they dont understand what you are saying. The most important thing for learning English is: Dont be afraid of making mistakes because everyone makes mistakes. 25. What should you do in learning English?A. Try to make some mistakes. B. Avoid making any mistakes.C. Remember as many new words as you can. D. Use it as often as you can26. When you make a mistake, you should_.A. never make any mistakes again B. tell others not to make the same mistakeC. punish yourself for making it D. keep your sense of humor27. The story tell us: _.

Laughing can help one learn English well CIf you see someone drowning, speed is very important. Once you get him out of the water, if he isnt breathing, you have four minutes before his brain is completely destroyed. Support his neck, move his head back and press his chin upwards. This stops the tongue blocking the airway in the throat and is sometimes enough to get him breathing again. If that doesnt work, start mouth-to-mouth breathing. Press his nostrils（鼻孔）together with your fingers. Open your mouth and take a deep breath. Blow into his lungs until his chest rises, then remove your mouth and watch his chest fall. Repeat twelve times a minute. Keep doing until professional help arrives. To bring a child back to life, keep your lips around his mouth and gently blow into his mouth. Give the first four breaths as quickly as possible to fill the blood with oxygen. If, in spite of your efforts, he starts turning a blue-grey color, and you can feel no pulse(脉搏), then pressing is the last chance of saving his life. With arms straight, rock forwards, pressing down on the lower half of the breastbone. Dont be too hard or you may break a rib. Check how effective you are by seeing if his color improves or his pulse becomes independent to your chest pressing. If this happens, stop the pressing. Otherwise continue until rescue arrives. 28 . Once you get a drowning man out of the water, if he isnt breathing, you must first_. A. take him to the nearest hospital as soon as possible B. get him breathing againC. find someone to help you D. call the First Aid Center 29 .If the drowning boy has no pulse,_. A. press his chin upwards is enough to get him breathing. B. blow air into his mouth is sure to save his life. C. press his nostrils together with your fingers can work. D. press is the last chance of saving his life. 30. In the last paragraph, the word rescue means_. A. breath B. doctor C. help D. pulse31. The passage is mainly about _.A. how to give first aid to people who are drowning B. how to save people out of the waterC.how to do mouth-to-mouth breathingD.how to save a child from a river DGrowing up in the USA, I was ashamed of my mothers Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was her. I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人). I said in a young voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs. Tan.”And my mother was standing beside me, whispering loudly, “Why he dont send me cheek already two week lone.”And then, in perfect English I said: “Im getting rather concerned .You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasnt arrived.”Then she talked more loudly. “What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I cant tolerate any more excuse. If I dont receive the check immediately, I am going to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs. Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.When I was a teenager, my mothers broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mothers English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.32. Why was the authors mother poorly served?A. She was too shy to speak clearly.B. She couldnt make herself understood.C. She was unable to speak good English.D. She was not a native America.33. From Paragraph 2, we know that the author was .A. good at pretendingB. unwilling to phone for her mother C. ready to help her motherD. rude to other people34. After the author made the phone call, .A. they forgave the stockbrokerB. telephone the stockbrokers managerC. they went to New York immediatelyD. they failed to get the check35. What does the author think of her mothers English now?A. It helps her understand the world.B. It embarrasses her.C. It confuses her.D. It helps her tolerate rude people. 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。Secret codes (密码) keep messages private. Bank, companies, and government agencies use secret code in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer.People have used secret codes for thousands of years. 36 Code breaking never lags (落后) behind code making. The science of decoding and reading coded messages is called cryptography.There are three main types of cryptography. 37 For example, the first letters are “My elephant eats too many eels” spell out the hidden message “Meet me.” 38 You might represent each letter with a number, for example, lets number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter, the message “Meet me” would read “1 3 5 20 13 5”.A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. 39 For example, “bridge” might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me”. The message “bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me”. 40 However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently.A. It is very hard to break a code without a code book.B. In any language, some letters are used more than others.C. Only people who know the keyword can read the message.D. As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them.E. You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out. F. With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words.G. Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet.第三部分英语知识运用（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，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出可以填入空白处的选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。A young man who lived in London was in love with a beautiful girl.

Although he had tried to ignore them, all his mathematical calculations led 62 the same conclusion:that the earth was not the centre of the solar system. Only if you put the sun there did the movements of the other planets in the sky make sense. Yet he could not tell anyone about 63 （he） theory as the powerful Christian Church would have punished him for even 64 (suggest) such an idea. They believed God had made the world and for that reason the earth was special and must be the centre of the solar system.The problem 65 (arise) because astronomers had noticed 66 some planets in the sky seemed to stop, move backward and then go forward in a loop. Others appeared 67 (bright )at times and less bright at others.
