as i grew into adulthood and went to college. i had to ride the bus whenever i came home. though the bus stopped about two miles from home, dad never met me, even in severe weather. if i spoke unhappily, hed say in his loudest father-voice, “thats what your legs are for!” the walk didnt bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. i also felt less than valued that my father didnt seem concerned about my safety. but that feeling disappeared one spring evening.it had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. i longed for home. when the bus reached the stop, i stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.a row of hedge（树篱）edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. once i had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, i always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that i was almost home. on that particular evening, the hedge had just come into view when i saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge, moving toward the house. upon closer observation, i realized it was the top of my fathers head. then i knew, each time id come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew i had arrived safely. i swallowed hard against the tears. he did care, after all.on later visits, that spot of gray became my watchtower. i could hardly wait until i was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. upon reaching home, i would find my father sitting innocently in his chair. “so! my son, its you!” hed say, his face lengthening into pretended surprise. i replied, “yes, dad, its me. im home.” 28. we can infer from the text that_.a. the authors grandfather had a profound influence on his father b. the authors

(1) (2) (3) (4) (5)dwhat killed king tut? historians and scientists have long believed that ancient egypts most famous king was probably murdered. but a recent scientific study claims to have found a different solution to this more than 3300-year-old mystery.tuts full name was tutankhamen. he was just 9 years old when he became ruler of egypt in 1348 b.c. his treasure-packed tomb was displayed to the world almost a century ago. tuts tomb was filled with royal riches, including a solid-gold coffin, and a gold mask. it made him one of the best-known egyptian kings of all time.but tut did not have much time to enjoy his vast wealth. the time when he was in power was cut short at the age of 19. many experts have thought that tut was killed by one of his advisers, named ay, who wanted to be the king himself. thanks to a major modern science project, it seems that ay is off the hook.researchers set out to solve the mystery of king tuts death by using the tools of science. they began to look into tuts mummy (木乃伊) by conducting an autopsy (尸体解剖). scientist carsten pusch conducted the tests on tut for the new study. a scan of tuts mummy showed that his leg was broken. he thinks a broken leg contributed to the young kings death. the dna also indicates that the ruler had an illness that causes bones to go bad. more than 100 walking sticks were found in king tuts tomb. this supports the autopsy findings. many of the sticks were well-worn, showing regular use. but how could a person die from a simple broken leg? pusch also found dna evidence in tuts remains that indicates he had malaria, a disease carried by mosquitoes (蚊子). malaria severely weakens the immune system. finally, the young ruler was just too weak to recover.32. according to the text, king tut is famous because _.a. his death was a mystery in historyb. he was likely to be murdered by his adviserc. his tomb was found packed with treasuresd. he brought much wealth to his people when he was in power33. by saying “ay is off the hook”, the author means _.a. ay is free from the blameb. ay escapes from prisonc. ay should be punished d. ay cant get away with it34. we can know from the text that _.a. king tut died from a weak body and a careless playb. the malaria combined with the bone disease caused king tuts deathc. a jealous adviser named ay is likely the real killer in king tuts deathd. king tut fell to death because of his leg problem35. the writer of the passage mainly wants to tell us that _.a. king tut was the greatest king in egyptian historyb. historical mysteries should be solved by sciencec. king tuts mummy murder mystery has been solved d. history never put the blame on a good man without solid evidence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。(特别提示：请将答案填在答题纸上)of all the things that can be stolen from you your possessions, your youth, your health, your words, your rights what no one can ever take from you is.your uniqueness. 36 . there is a magic about you that is all your own. having a low opinion of yourself is not humility, its self-destruction. holding your uniqueness in high regard is not self-centered. its a necessary precondition to happiness and success.your determination.when life gives you something that makes you feel afraid, thats when life gives you a chance to grow strong and be brave. 37 , not even your mistakes, failures, or troubles. if you keep your eyes open and your feet moving forward, youll eventually find what you need.your attitude. the last of your freedoms is to choose your attitude in any given situation. 38 . it is not always easy to find happiness in ourselves, but it is always impossible to find it elsewhere. so smile as you walk away and move on from negative people and their actions.your ability to spread love and kindness.the measure of your life will not be in what you receive, but in what you give away. 39 , so give freely. remember, the final goal of all goals is to be happy. if you want to be happy make those around you happy.your hope. 40 , its the way you carry it. the biggest obstacles that stand between a person and what they want in life is the will to try it, and the faith to believe its possible. hope is the little voice inside your head that whispers “maybe” when it seems like the whole world is shouting “impossible!”a. find your passion, whatever it isb. you are unrepeatablec. nothing is permanent in this crazy worldd. and 99 percent of the time you get what you put ine. choose to be happy and positivef. its not the load that breaks you downg. learn the lesson, release the pain, and move on 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两小节，满分40分）第一节 完形填空（每小题1.5分，共20小题）i was a new teacher, and i gave an honest mark on the students work. in simons 41 , the grades were awfully low. he couldnt read his own handwriting. but he was a 42 student. he discussed adult subjects with nearly adult comprehension. his work in no way reflected his 43 .i had worried myself sick over simons mother coming to see me. so when simons mother entered the room, my palms were 44 . i was completely unprepared for her kisses on both my cheeks. “i came to thank you,” she said, surprising me beyond speech. 45 me, simon had become a different person. she talked of how he 46 me, he had begun to make friends, and for the first time in his twelve years, he had 47 spent an afternoon at a friends house. she wanted to tell me how 48 she was for the self-respect i had developed in her son. she kissed me again and left.i sat, astonished, for about half an hour, 49 what had just happened. how did i make such a life-changing difference to that boy without 50 knowing it?
