The 18-year-old star with some other surfers sailed out to reach the dolphins in order to stop them from being driven into a nearby pool and killed, but the six surfers, from Australia and the United States, were stopped by a fishing boat before they could reach them. The fishermen blocked their way with a boathook (钩篙). It was an ugly, unfriendly and life-threatening struggle before the surfers were forced to return to the beach. It is believed that the dolphins were later taken into a pool and killed. Panettiere, who is a brave surfer and loyal animal protector, made up her mind to save the dolphins of Japan and said, It was really frightening. Some of us were hit by the boathook, but in the end all we were really worried about was the dolphins. It was so sad. We were so close to them and they were jumping out of the water to see us. Breaking down in tears, she added, One little baby dolphin stuck his head out and looked at me and the thought that its no longer with us is really hard to take. The surfers left the country to avoid arrest (逮捕)by the Japanese police. Panettiere is now back in Los Angeles. More than 22,000 dolphins are killed by fishermen in Japan every year. Many Japanese believe dolphins should be treated like fish. They have been hunting dolphins for centuries and see any criticism (批评) of this as an attack on their culture. 21. Why did the surfers get into trouble with the fishermen in Japan?A. They said something that hurt the fishermen. B. They entered a pool which wasnt allowed to go into.C. They attacked Japanese culture.D. They tried to stop the fishermen from killing the dolphins.22. From Paragraph 3, we can learn that Panettiere _. A. was really frightened and sadB. succeeded in saving the dolphinsC. cried when they were hit by the boathookD. didnt like the Japanese fishermen23. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?A. What Happened While Surfing in Japan B. Hayden Panettiere Cried in the Sea of Japan C. People Worldwide Are Against Killing Dolphins D. Protect the Wild Animals BThe influence of America is increasing in my country. Spanish people drink Coca Cola, wear blue jeans, watch Hollywood movies, listen to American music, and eat fast food, and they do these things every day. I think that American movies are a good way to spread American culture because people are often influenced by what they see in the movies. Most of the programs and documentaries (纪录片) we watch on TV are from America, and most of the movies we go to see are made in Hollywood. In the last few years, the government has tried to protect the Spanish movies. Now, in our cinemas, at least twenty percent of the movies which are shown must be from Spain or from other countries in Europe. American culture is a part of Spanish life now. Its certain that many things from America are as much a part of peoples lives as Spanish things. For example, Coca Cola is as familiar to everybody as any typical Spanish product. Ive known about Coca Cola for my whole life. However, its different with Western fast food. For example, I dont think McDonalds is as successful in Spain as it is in other countries. In my opinion, one of the reasons may be the lifestyle of the Spanish people. The Spanish people normally eat at home. On the other hand, maybe McDonalds hamburgers will eventually replace the famous Spanish tapas. Its true that in every city in Spain you can find a McDonalds, and it is more popular among the Spanish children than among the adults. In any case, its obvious that American culture is becoming more and more a part of our lives every day. 24. From the first paragraph we can know that _. A. the influence of America on Spain can be found everywhereB. most Spanish people dont like to listen to their own musicC. fast food spreads from Spain to the United StatesD. some Spanish actors go to America to improve their acting skills 25. What plays an important part in the spreading of American culture in Spain?A. American novels. B. Hollywood movies. C. McDonalds. D. American music.26. Why did the government set some rules for the films shown in Spain?A. To protect foreign culture in Spain. B.To earn more money from Spanish films.C. To limit the number of foreign movies. D. To unite the European Community.27. What do you think Spanish tapas might be?A. The name of a drink. B. The name of a restaurant.C. A clothing brand. D. A certain kind of food. C Dear Mr. Price, I have eaten in your restaurant many times and have always been happy with the food and service, but what happened last Saturday made me very angry. It was my sons birthday so we ordered a no-smoking table at your restaurant for 7:30 p.m. We arrived on time but were told that our table was not yet ready. At 8:00 p. m., we were given a table in the smoking area. I asked to move but I was told that there were no other tables. A lot of people were smoking so it was uncomfortable and unhealthy. The first waitress, Janet, was very polite and helpful. She gave us free drinks for waiting so long. Our food also came quickly and looked fresh and tasty. When my wife had eaten most of her meal, she found a little insect in her vegetables. She was surprised and wanted to leave. At first, the waitress told us it was a piece of garlic（大蒜）. When we told her that garlic does not have legs, she said sorry and took the food away. We asked for the bill, expecting not to pay for my wifes meal. Nobody came. After 15 minutes, I asked to see the manager. The head waiter told us that he was on holiday. I complained again about the terrible insect. He told me Janet had finished work. He didnt believe my story and gave me a bill for the three meals including my wifes. I argued with him but had to pay in the end. The waitress, Janet, was always friendly, but I would like an apology（道歉）from your impolite head waiter and a full refund（退款）for our meal. It cost $68. Until then, I will not be eating at your restaurant or recommending it to anyone. You can contact me on 742-3254 or through e-mail if you want more information. Thank you for your attention. Yours sincerely, Raymond Yuen28. How did Mr. Yuen feel about the restaurant before last Saturday? A. Pleased. B. Disappointed C. Interested. D. Concerned.29. According to the passage, which of the following is true? A. Mr. Yuen had his birthday party at the restaurant. B. Mr. Yuen paid for all the meals they had ordered. C. Mr. Yuen was satisfied with the service and food. D. Mr. Yuen argued with the manager of the restaurant.30. Mr. Yuen wants Mr. Price to . A. say sorry to him B. pay for his bill C. fire the head waiter D. get the head waiter to apologize31. This is basically a letter of . A. appreciation B. apology C. disagreement D. Dissatisfaction D When Joan gave birth to the first boy in her family in three generations, she and her husband were overjoyed. So were her parents. Joan expected her elder sister, Sally, to be just as delighted as them. Joan had always admired Sally-the beauty and the star of the family-and felt happy about her achievements. But since the babys arrival, the sisters have become distant. Joan feels hurt for Sally seems completely uninterested in her baby. Sally, who has no children, claims that her younger sister acts as if no one ever had a baby before. Neither Sally nor Joan understands that the real cause of the current coldness is that their family roles have suddenly changed to the opposite. Finally Joan seems to be better than her elder sister-and Sally doesnt like it! Their distance may be temporary, but it shows that childhood competition dont fade easily as ages grow. It can remain powerful in relationships throughout life. In a study of the University of Cincinnati, 65 men and women between ages 25 and 93 were asked how they felt about their brothers and sisters. Nearly 75 percent admitted having hidden competitive feelings. In a few cases, these emotions were so strong as to have affected their entire lives. Many adult brothers and sisters are close, supportive-yet still tend to compete. Two brothers I know turn into killers when on opposite sides of a tennis net. Off the court, they are the best of friends. My own younger sister cant wait to tell me when Ive put on weight. However, shes a terrible cook and that pleases me; I tease her when she comes to dinner. Happily, despite these small failings, we have been an important resource for each other. In between the very competitive and the generally supportive children lie those who say that no friendship should survive. Some brothers and sisters stay at arms length, hut never give up competition completely. Why do these puzzling, unproductive, often painful relationships continue to exist?32. When Joans son was born, Sally .A. felt very happy B. felt not delighted C. moved away D. admired her a lot 33. What happens to childrens desire to compete with their brothers and sisters? A. It sometimes will disappear when they grow up. B. It will never disappear throughout life. C. It will improve their relationships when they grow up. D. It will never harm their relationships when they grow up.34. Why does the authors sister often tell her when shes put on weight? A. Because she wants the author to go on a diet. B. Because she wants the author to stop calling her a bad cook. C. Because she wants to make fun of the authors weight. D. Because she wants to be honest with the author.35. The underlined sentence means that although some brothers and sisters . A. live near each other, they still have competitions B. live away from each other, they stop their competitions C. live together, they often think of ending their competitions D. live within a big family, they often try to end their competitions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。（每题2分，共10分）(E=AB F=AC G=AD) “Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.” -Lao Tzu If you are in a city where everyone rushes, realize that you dont have to be like everyone else. You can be different. You can walk instead of driving in rush hour traffic. You can be on your iPhone or Blackberry less, and disconnected sometimes. Your environment doesnt control your life-you do. Im not going to tell you how to give you a step-by-step guide to moving slower. 36 1. Do less.Cut back on your projects, on your task list, on how much you try to do each day. Focus not on quantity but on quality. 37 Save smaller, routine tasks for later in the day, but give yourself time to focus.2. Have fewer meetings.38 And they eat into your day, forcing you to squeeze the things you really need to do into small windows, and making you rush.3. 39 When you do the important things with focus, without rush, there will be things that get pushed back, and that dont get done. And you need to ask yourself: how necessary are these things? What would happen if I stopped doing them?4. Practice mindfulness. Simply learn to live in the present, rather than things so much about future or the past. When you eat, fully appreciate your food. When you are with someone, be with them fully. When you are walking, appreciate your surroundings, no matter where you are. Try these things out. Life is better when unrushed. 40 A. Start to put off or cancel the unnecessary.B. Meetings are usually a “big waste of time”.C. The world likely wont end if you dont pass one of the examinations.D. But here are some things to consider and perhaps adopt（采纳）, if they work for your life.E. Remember the quote: if nature can get everything done without rushing, so can you.F. Pick 23 important things-or even just one important thing-and work on those first.G. Give yourself more time to get ready and get there.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空 (共20小题；每小题l.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，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Everybody knows Charlie Chaplin,a world-famous funny actor.People 41 have laughed at Charlie Chaplins films 42 tears run down their faces.From his very first 43 they know what will happen.The little man is always with black moustache,wide-open eyes,round black hat and 44 too large for his feet.Hell 45 through snow,and fall from windows.Hell fight men who are twice his 46 or fall in love with women,who 47 notice him , and try to hug(拥抱) them.The poor man that Charlie Chaplin 48 in dozens of films makes all kinds of stupid mistakes.He is always in 49 ,but he never 50 .He dreams of becoming a great man.Even people who 51 understand English can 52 Chaplins films,because they are mostly 53 .It isnt what he 54 that makes people laugh.His comedy(喜剧) doesnt depend on words.It depends on little 55 which mean the 56 thing to people all over the world.Chaplin raises his thick eyebrows or rolls his eyes.He hides behind a fat lady or under a table to escape from his 57 .He dresses well and pretends to be a 58 and important man.It is all so hopeless and 59 that he makes us laugh.This is the 60 of Chaplins huge success.41.A.hereB.everywhereC.abroadD.who42.A.ifB.onceC.becauseD.until43.A.disappearanceB.appearanceC.wordsD.emotions44.A.trousersB.stocksC.shoesD.hands45.A.sleepB.sitC.playD.struggle46.A.lengthB.sizeC.greatnessD.width47.A.hardlyB.deeplyC.widelyD.luckily48.A.playedB.recognizedC.lovedD.fooled49.A.joyB.excitementC.sorrowD.trouble50.A.comes downB.gets awayC.goes backD.gives up51.A.dontB.canC.doD.may52.A.understandB.watchC.enjoyD.see53.A.frighteningB.silentC.pleasantD.moving54.A.playsB.actsC.expectsD.says55.A.actionsB.expressionsC.storiesD.words56.A.someB.differentC.sameD.bitter57.A.enimiesB.ownC.charactersD.films58.A.poorB.sadC.richD.beautiful59.A.possibleB.impossibleC.instructiveD.tired60.A.wayB.beginningC.theoryD.secret 第卷第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第二节：语法填空（共10小题，每小题1.5分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。In the United States, there were 222 people _61_ (report) to be billionaires(亿万富翁) in 2003.

I want to have a pen friend, hopefully, a girl in her early twenties, and with interests similarly to mine. In my mind, he is someone interesting in traveling, swimming, and playing table tennis. However, it would be better for her to have a pet dog as I have been kept one at home for some time. With such a pen friend, I hope I can share with her our experiences in traveling, taking care pets, or whatever we have in common. I
