She closed her eyes and listened to the waves. Suddenly, she could hear another sound, so she opened her eyes and looked down at the sand. It was moving! All of a sudden she could see a tiny head coming out. Then a turtle(龟) appeared! One by one they struggled out of their underground nests. Mira looked in surprise at the baby turtles.Mira knew the turtles should head towards the waves and swim away, so she was puzzled when they began to pull themselves towards the dunes(沙丘). Suddenly, she remembered something her grandmother had told her. “Sea turtles bury their eggs on the beach every year in April and in September. Those baby turtles hatch(孵出) and head back down to the sea. But some of them never make it. Sometimes they die going across the dunes, trying to find those bright lights on the houses. Every day there are more houses being built on the dunes. That means more and more lights to confuse the sea turtles.”Mira looked out across the dunes at her house. Mira saw her mother and father, sitting on the porch(门廊). She could see them because her house had two bright lights that lit up the porch. Mira began to run to her house and shouted, “The turtles are hatching! We have to help the turtles!” With these words, Mira ran into the house and turned off the bright porch lights. In a rush she was off running down the dunes with her whole family following her. They reached the beach just in time to see the tiny turtles slipping silently into the waves.

Women lose because, 25 years after the Equal Pay Act, many of them still get paid less than men. They lose because they do lower-paid jobs which men just wont consider. And they lose because they are the ones who interrupt a career to have children. All this is reported in an independent study ordered by the Governments womens unit. The biggest problem isnt equal pay in workplaces such as factories. It is the sort of work women do.Make a list of low-paid jobs,then consider who does them. Try nurses, secretaries, cleaners, clerks, teachers in primary schools, dinner ladies and child-care helpers. Not a lot of men among that group, are there? Yet some of those jobs are really important. Surely no one would deny that about nurses and teachers, for a start. So why do we reward the people who do them so poorly? There can be only one answerbecause they are women. This is not going to be put right overnight. But the government, which employs a lot of them, and other bosses have to make a start.It is disgraceful（可耻的） that we have gone into the 21st century still treating women like second-class citizens. 33. Women should have the chance of doing the same jobs and getting the same pay as men _.A. according to the lawB. after 25 yearsC. as a result of those important jobsD. because women are as strong as men34. We can learn from the text that what really matters in this problem is_.A. that women interrupt a career to have childrenB. because they are womenC. what sort of work women doD. what unfair pay women get in workplaces35. Which of the following best described the writers idea?A. Women should strengthen themselves.B. Women and men should get equal pay for equal work.C. The government ought to protect women against getting paid less than men.D. Some of the jobs that women do are of great importance.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。Curiosity is an important characteristic of a genius(天才). You cant find an intellectual giant who is not a curious person. 36 This is necessary if you are to have a curious mind. Some things you know and believe might be wrong, so you should prepare to accept things you dont know or you dont quite agree on. 37 If you just accept the world as it is, you will certainly lose your “curiosity”. Try to discover what is beneath the surfaces of things around you. Ask questions from time to time. A sure way to discover what is beneath the surface is by asking questions: What is that? Why is it made that way? How does it work? And so on. 38 See learning as something that is fun. If you see learning as a burden, it will just make the burden heavier. But if you can find learning interesting, it will open another door. 39 Read different kinds of reading materials. Dont spend too much time on justone subject. 40 It will introduce you to other possibilities that may interest you.A. Keep an open mind.B. Try to look into the things.C. Search for ideas to write about.D. Discuss your ideas with other people.E. So make an effort to enjoy the learning process.F. Feed your mind with interesting facts about different subjects.G. It is the simplest way for curious people to increase their knowledge.第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分45）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，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。I finished my last work of the week and could hardly wait to get home, take off my nursing shoes, and relax.

There are, however, different ideas about how to teach 64 , or how much priority(优先) it must 65 (give) over general language development and writing ability. The generally acknowledged problem is how to encourage a child to express himself _66_ (free) and confidently in writing without 67 (hold) him back.Once I was alarmed to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience This work is horrible!
