when he entered the tenth grade he became a “vo-tech” student（技校学生）. theyre called “motorheads” by the rest of the student body.when a secretary in my office first called him “motorhead”, i was shocked. “hey, hes a good kid,” i wanted to say. “and smart, really.”i learned later that motorheads are, indeed, different. they usually have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothes. and they dont often make school honor rolls（光荣榜）.but being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education. we who work in clean shirts in offices dont have the abilities that motorheads have. i began to learn this when i had my car crashed. the cost to repair it was about $ 800. “hey, i can fix it,” said jody. i doubted it, but let him go ahead, for i had nothing to lose.my son, with other motorheads, fixed the car. they got parts from a junk yard, and ability from vo-tech classes. the cost was $ 25 instead of $ 800.since that first repair job, a broken air-conditioner, a non-functioning washer and a non-toasting toaster have been fixed. neighbors and co-workers trust their car repairs to him.these kids are happiest when doing repairs. they joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world. and their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes.i have learned a lot from my motorhead: publishers need printers, engineers need mechanics, and architects need builders. most important, i have learned that fathers dont need clones in footsteps or anywhere else.my son may never make the school honor roll. but he made mine.27. what can we learn about the authors children?a. his daughter does better in school. b. his daughter has got a masters degree.c. his son tried hard to finish homework. d. his son couldnt write his book reports.28. the author let his son repair the car because he believed that _.a. his son had the ability to fix it. b. it would save him much time.c. it wouldnt cause him any more lossd. other motorheads would come to help.29. in which of the following sentence does the word “clone” have the same meaning as the one underlined in the first paragraph?a. mitalipov, senior author on the paper, laughs when asked if he wants toclonea person. b. tom was in some ways a younger clone of his handsome brother.c. some scientists wish to create the worlds first human clone.d. to make aclone, you need to first take an egg and remove all of its genetic material.30. what did the author realize in the end?a. it is unwise to expect your child to follow your path.b. it is important for one to make the honor roll.c. architects play a more important role than builders.d. motorheads have greater ability than office workers.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. banks, companies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer. people have used secret codes for thousands of years. 31 code breaking never lags（落后）far behind code making. the science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography. there are three main types of cryptography. 32 for example, the first letters of “my elephant eats too many eels” spell out the hidden message “meet me.” 33 you might represent each letter with a number, for example. lets number the letters of the alphabet（字母表）, in order, from 1 to 26. if we substitute a number for each letter, the message “meet me” would read “13 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. 34 for example, “bridge”might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me”. the message “bridge out” would actually mean “meet me.” 35 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 the 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（满分60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 短文后题所给的四个选项 (a、b、c和d) 中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。a race against deathit was a cold january in 1925 in north alaska. the town was cut off from the rest of the world because of the heavy snow.on the 20th of that month, dr. welch 36 a sick boy, billy, and knew he had diphtheria, a deadly infectious（传染的）disease mainly affecting children. the children of nome would be 37 if it struck the town. dr. welch needed medicine as soon as possible to stop other kids from getting sick. 38 , the closest supply was over 1,000 miles away, in anchorage.how could the medicine get to nome?
