kopel cycled around north america to show others a way to help the environment. “nobody wants to breathe dirty airbut for the air to change. people have to stop driving cars,” says ted, “if more people start riding bikes, the air will be cleaner.”ted started his trip alone. he had $ 160 in his pocket and plans to cycle around north america. he left his hometown of vancouver, and when he arrived in san diego he got the chance to make some extra money for the rest of his 13, 000 km trip. a cyclist he met asked him to speak at an environment meeting in texas. within a few hours, ted was on a plane to the meeting and it was a big surprise. when he met deanna at the meeting, they talked for six hours straight. it was love at first sight. the next day, he called her to ask if she wanted to finish the trip with him. she said yes, sold everything in her flat, gave her notice at work, and was on the road with ted three weeks later. deanna found teds timetable difficult because he got up early in the morning. deanna was a nurse and usually worked at night. “all of a sudden, i was up at six when i wanted to sleep until noon,” said deanna.as the couple cycled to florida and up to montreal and then back to vancouver, every day was an adventure. they got free meals in restaurants, and slept in peoples yards. when they ran out of money, people gave them extra cash. sometimes people gave away $50 or $100.and like all good stories this one has a happy ending. on the way back to vancouver, they stopped in edmonton to visit teds relatives. during the visit, they got married. people tied ten cans and a “just married” sign to the back of their bikes.they now want to write a book about their trip. “we want people to know that you can protect our earth and still have fun,” schredd said.25. what did ted schredd believe to be a way to protect the environment? a. driving less.b. breathing clean air.c. saving waste tin cans.d. staying healthy by cycling.26. why did ted speak at an environmental meeting? a. he could get a big surprise.b. he was in the city of the meeting.c. he wanted his opinion familiar to more people.d. he hoped to find someone to help him.27. what difficulty did deanna meet after starting the trip with ted?a. getting free meals in restaurant.b. sleeping in peoples yards.c. getting up very early.d. missing her friends.28. in what way does the story have a happy ending for ted and deanna?a. they got married during their trip.b. they got together with their relatives.c. they wrote a book about their experience. d. they became very famous in america.cmy mother was diagnosed with alzheimers (老年痴呆症)last summer. suddenly, it was difficult for me to accept that the roles were now reversed-my mother became my child, and i became her mother. i became impatient, argued with her, once i even yelled at her. gradually, i was used to this kind of life. now i am able to deal with her and the situation better. i have learned a lot of life lessons from the experience. my mother reacts very sensitively to my feelings. that is typical of alzheimers patients. when i visit her, feeling busy and tense, she reacts immediately, takes on my mood, and becomes nervous and negative. but when i appear cheerful and attentive, she is happy. this has taught me to pay more attention to my own feelings when i am with other people. i always thought i was very tolerant, but in reality, my tolerance ran out as soon as someone turned away from what i considered “right”. with my mother i can now really be tolerant. through her illness she has developed a childlike tactlessness（不得体）. eating out in restaurants, for example, is a bit embarrassing when she shouts at the waiter that the food is so bad or talks about people at the next table in a loud voice. of course i make sure that my mother doesnt offend（冒犯）anyone, but ive stopped complaining about others and have become more tolerant. i have also learned that everything has special value. when my mother got sick i didnt want to burden my two daughters with it. they are young and have enough going on with their education, and starting their careers. i felt that it was simply my job as my mothers daughter. the most wonderful discovery ive made through my mothers disease may be that my children not only offer to help me when they sense that im feeling overwhelmed（难以承受）, but that they take care of my mother on their own initiative（主动地）. they visit her often, play cards with her, and look at photo albums together with her. it shows me that its all worth it.29. which of the following is the best title of the passage?a. how i cared for my sick mother b. how i became more tolerantc. what i have learned from alzheimers d. why i am feeling overwhelmed30. which of the following is common behavior of alzheimer patients?a. being curious about everything b. being sensitive to others moods c. being afraid of strange people d. being particular about clothes31. we can infer that the writers daughters are _.a. naughty b. selfish c. traditional d. considerate dpeople in the united states honour their parents with two special days：mothers day， on the second sunday in may， and fathers day， on the third sunday in june. these days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. they raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. they give love and care to their children. these two days offer an opportunity to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. more mothers now work outside the home. more fathers must help with childcare.these two special days are celebrated in many different ways. on mothers day people wear carnations (康乃馨). a red one symbolizes (象征) a living mother. a white one shows that the mother is dead. many people attend religious services to honour their parents. it is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery. on these days families get together at home， as well as in restaurants. they often have outdoor barbecues(烤肉) for fathers day. these are days of fun and good feelings and memories.another tradition is to give cards and gifts. children make them in school. many people make their own presents. these are valued more than the ones bought in stores. it is not the value of the gift that is important， but it is “the thought that counts”. greeting card stores， florists，_candy makers， bakeries， telephone companies， and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.32which is not a reason for children to show love and respect for their parents?atheir parents bring them up. btheir parents give love and care to them.ctheir parents educate them to be good persons.dtheir parents passed away before they grew up.33what do you learn from the passage?amothers day and fathers day are both in may.bfewer women worked outside the home in the past.cnot all the children respect their parents.dfathers are not as important as mothers at home.34on mothers day and fathers day， _.apeople usually have family parties beveryone goes to visit the cemetery cchildren always go to their parents home dhandmade cards are the most valuable gifts35what do you think “florists” do?athey sell flowers.bthey sell special clothes for mothers day and fathers day.cthey offer enough room for having family parties.dthey make bread or pastry (点心)第二节: 七选五。(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)although problems are part of our lives, it certainly doesnt mean that we let them rule our lives forever. one day or another, youll have to stand up and say, “problems, i dont want you in my life.” 36 problems with friends, parents, girlfriends, husbands, and children - the list goes on. apart from these, the inner conflicts within ourselves work, too. these keep adding to our problems. problems come in different shapes and colors and feelings. but good news is that all problems can be dealt with. now read on to know how to solve your problems. talk, it really helps. what most of us think is that our problems can be understood only by us and that no talking is going to help. 37 talking helps you move on and let go. write your problems. 38 when you write down your problems, you are setting free all the tension from your system. you can try throwing away the paper on which you wrote your problems. by doing this, imagine yourself throwing away the problems from your life. dont lose faith and hope. no matter what you lose in life, dont lose faith and hope. even if you lose all your money, family you should still have faith. 39 your problems arent the worst. no matter what problem you get in life, therere another one million people whose problems are huger than yours. 40 your problems might just seem bigger and worse, but in reality they can be removed. go about and solve your problems because every problem, however big or small, always has a way out. a. when we have a problem, a pressing, critical, urgent, life-threatening problem, how do we try and solve it?b. of course,

with them, why cant i? g. with faith and hope, you can rebuild everything that you lose. 第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分55分）第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）i will never forget a girl student sitting at the back of the
