He sat in front of the wise man who gave him a social and warm smile, and breathed out heavily, letting out a wave of sadness. He began complaining that he had a hard burden and that he didnt see the bright daylight at all. It seemed that one problem fell on his head after another. They had twisted (扭曲) him so much that he couldnt even breathe in some fresh air. Later, he began blaming all of his relatives, who, in his opinion, were sorry for his misfortune. The wise man listened to him in silence, and when the peasant once again asked why it was so unfair, what he should do and how to find peace, the wise man got up from his seat and invited the peasant to follow him. They came out of the little house and went to a lakeside, which was not far away and where from time to time flying fishes were jumping fast above the surface, catching food. The wise man led the peasant to the lakeside and said to him, “You see the smoothness of the lake? The depths are full of life. There are fishes that always stay in water, and if suddenly the lake gets polluted, they cant see further than their own noses. They will hardly recognize where the source of pollution is, and they will keep swimming in circles. And there are also fishes that get wings and they can rise above the water of the lake, looking at it from the height of their flight. So this is my advice: instead of complaining about your life, come to this lakeside from time to time, watch the flying fishes and try to understand what I wanted to say to you.”16. Why did the peasant go to the wise man?A. His house lacked fresh air B. His relatives were unkind to himC. He had been ill for long D. He thought his life was hopeless17. In fact, what caused the peasants misfortune?A. His lack of guidance B. Other peoples unkindnessC. His relatives D. His attitude to life18. Why did the wise man lead the peasant to the lakeside?A. To help the peasant relax B. To catch flying fishes.C. To make his message easy to understand. D. To comfort the peasant.19.What was the advice that the wise man gave to the peasant?A. To learn to swim freely in the lake. B. To enjoy beautiful scenery to relax.C. To learn from the flying fishes. D. To learn from the fishes that stay in the water.BHow far would you be willing to go to satisfy your need to know? Far enough to find out your possibility of dying from a terrible disease? These days thats more than an academic (学术的) question, as Tracy Smith reports in our Cover Story.There are now more than a thousand genetic（基因的）tests, for everything from baldness to breast cancer, and the list is growing. Question is, do you really want to know what might kill you in the end? For instance, Nobel Prize-winning scientist James Watson, one of the first people to map their entire genetic makeup, is said to have asked not to be told if he were at a higher risk for Alzheimer（老年痴呆症）.“If I tell you that you have an increased risk of getting a terrible disease, that could weigh on your mind and make you anxious, through which you see the rest of your life as you wait for that disease to hit you. It could really mess you up,” said Dr. Robert Green, a Harvard geneticist.“Every ache and pain,” Smith suggested, could be understood as “the beginning of the end.” Thats right. If you ever worried you were at risk for Alzheimers disease, then every time you cant find your car in the parking lot, you think the disease has started.Dr. Green has been thinking about this problem for years. He led a study of people who wanted to know if they were at a higher genetic risk for Alzheimers. It was thought that people who got bad news would, for lack of a better medical term, freak out. But Green and his team found that there was “no significant difference” between how people handled good news and possibly the worst news of their lives. In fact, most people think they can handle it. “People who ask for the information usually can handle the information, good or bad,” said Green.20. What is the first paragraph meant to do?A. Ask some questions B. Present a reportC. Attract the readers D. Describe an academic fact21.Which of the following is true of James Watson？A. He is strongly in favor of the present genetic tests.B. He is less likely to suffer from Alzheimers disease.C. He believes genetic mapping can help cure any disease.D. He doesnt want to know his chance of getting a disease.22. What does the underlined part “freak out” in Paragraph 5 mean?A. break down B. drop out C. watch out D. make it23. What can we learn from the study led by Dr. Green ?A. People prefer to hear good news B. People tend to find out the truthC. People can accept some bad news D. People have the right to be informed第二节：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。（如果所用的答题卡没有E、F、G选项，则选E涂A、B，选F涂B、C，选G涂C、D）Pronunciation TipsThese English pronunciation tips will help you get the most out of your Pronunciation Power program? 24 For example, “threw” and “through”, although spelled differently, are pronounced the same. Also, the same letters or letter groups in words do not always produce the same sound. For example, the “ough” in “though” and “through” represents a different sound in each word. 25 Imagine a sound in your mind before you say it. Try to picture the positioning of your mouth and face. 26 Listen to and try to copy the Pronunciation Power instructor. In addition to listening for specific sounds, pay attention to pauses, the rise and fall of the instructors voice and patterns of emphasis. 27 The English language has many different dialects(方言), and words can be pronounced differently. It is important, however, that you pronounce words clearly to ensure effective communication. Finally, the Pronunciation Power program is a tool to help you. But you must practice what you are learning! Remember that you are teaching your mouth a new way to move. You are building muscles that you do not use in your own language. 28 Use the program to exercise your mouth a little bit each day.A. Think about how you are going to make the sound.B. It is like going to the gym and exercising your body.C. Learn to practice what you hear, not what you see.D. Do not confuse pronunciation of words with their spelling!E. This can be just as important as the pronunciation of sounds.F. So you should force yourself to do what you really dont like to do.G. Read these words over and over again and try to learn them by heart.第三部分：完形填空（满分40分，共20小题，每题2分） Many years ago, in a small town in England, a little girl named Gillian had difficulty concentrating in school.

The other was a very old and dilapidated one,which had seen many years of service, but was now past its best. Every morning, the gardener would fill up the two buckets. Then he would carry them along the path, one on each side, to the flowerbeds. The new bucket was very proud of itself. It could carry a full bucket of water without a single drop spilled (溢出). The old bucket felt very ashamed because of its holes: before it reached the flowerbeds, much water had leaked (漏出) along the path. Sometimes the new bucket would say,“ See how capable I am ! How good it is that the gardener has me to water the flowers every day! I dont know why he still bothers with you. What a waste of space you are!” And all that the old bucket could say was. “ I know I am not very u
