For a moment, I thought he might be 18 ,but I could tell from the expression on his face that he was not. He was 19 . I felt like saying that it was ridiculous to 20 that out of all the millions of people in Chicago I could possibly have ever bumped into his friend. But, 21 , I just smiled and reminded him that Chicago was a very 22 city. He nodded, and I thought he was going to be content to drop the subject and talk about something else. But I was wrong. He was silent for a few minutes, and then he 23 to tell me all about his friend.His friends main 24 in life seemed to be tennis. He was an excellent tennis player , and he 25 had his own tennis court. There were a lot of people with swimming 26 , yet there were only two people with private tennis court; his friend in Chicago was one of them. I told him that I knew several 27 like that, including my brother, who was doctor in California. He 28 that maybe there were more private courts in the country, than he 29 but he did not know of any others. Then he asked me 30 my brother lived in California. When I said Sacramento, he said that was a coincidence 31 his Chicago friend spent the summer in Sacramento last year and he lived next door to a 32 who had a tennis court in his backyard. I said I felt that really was a coincidence because my next-door neighbor had gone to Sacramento last summer and had 33 the house next to my brothers house. For a moment, we stared at each other, but we did not say anything.“Would your friends name happen to be Roland Kirkwood?” I asked finally. He 34 and said, “Yes. Would your brothers name happen to be Dr Rey Hunter?” It was my 35 to laugh. “Yes,” I replied.16A. brother B. teacher C. neighbor Dfriend 17A. managed B. happened C. tried Dwanted 18A. expecting Blying Cjoking Dtalking 19Afunny Bserious Ccareful Ddisappointed 20Athink Bfind Crealize Dsee 21Aindeed Bactually Cinstead Dexactly 22Afamous Binteresting Cnoisy Dbig23Abegan Bstopped Crefused Dfailed 24Aproblem Binterest Cchoice Dwork 25Ajust Bever Ceven Dsurely 26Asuit Bhabit Cpools Driver 27Apeople Bplayers Cstrangers Dfriends 28Aadvised Bargued Cadmitted Dannounced 29Arecognized Brealized Cvisited Dfound 30Ahow Bwhether Cwhen Dwhere 31Abecause Bif Cthen Dthough 32Adoctor Bfriend Cneighbor Dplayer 33Ahired Bvisited Cdesigned Dsold 34Asmiled Blaughed Ccried Dnodded35Achance Bpleasure Ctime Dturn 第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。ASinging had always been an important part of Gloria Estefans life“Since I was three years old, I sangI sang everything,” Gloria said“Cubans,” she added, “are a musical people”Gloria was born in Cuba in 1957Her family left the country just before Fidel Castro came to powerIn Miami, where the family settled, many people did not accept Cuban immigrantsIn first grade, she spoke little English, but she worked hard to learn the languageSix months after she entered school, she won an award for reading in English!When Gloria was ten, her father returned from the Vietnam WarSoon, the family realized he wasnt wellThey soon found out that he was badly illHer mother went back to teaching at school to support the familyGloria cared for her father and her younger sisterShe still made the honor roll, and she still had her music, but Gloria was lonelyHowever, when the band leader Emilio Estefan came to speak at her high school, Gloria sang for himHe asked her to join his bandIt was the beginning of the Miami Sound MachineWithin a few months, the Miami Sound Machine was the top band in MiamiIn 1978 Gloria and Emilio marriedAt first, the Miami Sound Machine was known only in MiamiThen the band signed with CBS RecordsEstefan and his band became starsSince then, the Miami Sound Machine has sold millions of recordsGloria has done more than just singing when Hurricane Andrew hit central Florida in 1992She used only two weeks to organize an all-star concert that raised $2 million for the people who suffered in the hurricane“We needed a party after that disaster,” she saidGloria said, “You have to stay true to the music you really love to doThere will always be people who will tell you, that wont work Youve got to be firm in spite of difficultiesStick to itthats the main thing”36Glorias father was ill Awhen they settled down in MiamiBbefore they left their home countryCafter he returned from Vietnam WarDas soon as she finished high school37According to the passage, probably Gloria did the following except Aorganizing an all-star concert for Hurricane victimsBwinning an award for reading in EnglishCteaching at school to support the familyDtaking care of her father and sister38The underlined word “disaster” in this passage refers to Athe concertBthe celebrationCthe victimsDthe hurricane39This passage mainly tells about Gloria Estefans Alife storyBhappy marriageCmusic style DCuban backgroundBThe drug store was closing for the night. Young Alfred Higgins, the stop-assistant, was ready to go home. Mr. Carr, the boss, stared at him and said: “Hold on, Alfred. Maybe youd be good enough to take the things out of your pockets and leave them here before you go.” Alfreds face got red. After a little hesitation, he took out what he had stolen. Mr. Carr said, “Maybe I should call you mother and let her know Im going to have to put you in prison.”Alfred thought his mother would come rushing in, eyes burning with anger. But, to his surprise, she arrived wearing a smile. “Hello, Im Alfreds mother. Is he in trouble?” she said. Mr. Carr was surprised, too. He had expected Alfreds mother to come in nervously, shaking with fear, asking with wet eyes for a mercy for her son. But no, she was most calm, quiet and pleasant and was making Mr. Carr feel guilty. Soon Mr. Carr was shaking his head in agreement with what she was saying. “Of course”, he said, “I dont want to be cruel. You are right. Sometimes, a little good advice is the best thing for a boy at certain times in his life and it often takes the youths long time to get sense into their heads.” And he warmly shook Mrs. Higginss hand. Back home, without even looking at Alfred, she said, You are a bad luck. It is one thing after another, always has been. Why do you stand there so stupidly? Go to bed. In his bedroom, Alfred heard his mother in the kitchen. There was no shame in him, just pride in his mothers strength. He felt he must tell her how great she was. As he got to the kitchen, he saw his mother drinking a cup of tea. He was shocked by what he saw. His mothers face was a frightened, broken one. It was not the same cool, bright face he saw earlier in the drug store. As she lifted the tea cup, her hand shook. And some of the tea splashed on the table. Her lips moved nervously. She looked very old. He watched his mother without making a sound. The picture of his mother made him want to cry. He felt his youth coming to an end. He saw all the troubles he brought his mother in her shaking hand and the deep lines of worry in her grey face. It seemed to him that this was the first time he had ever really seen his mother.40The reason why Mr. Carr felt guilty was thatAAlfreds mother appeared polite and gentle Bhe should have called a policeman in firstChe found Alfred was in fact innocentDhe thought he was partly responsible for it41Which of the following is probably said by Mrs. Higgins while talking to Mr. Carr?A “You know, it takes time for a youth to truly grow up.B “I cant believe it! You are treating my son like that!C “Please, for Gods sake, you know, he is just a kid.D “Punishment makes sense because it teaches about the law.42What does the underlined phrase his mothers strength(paragraph 3) refer to?AMrs. Higginss attitude towards parental sufferingsBMrsHigginss calmness and communicating skillsCMrsHigginss love and care for her son AlfredDMrsHigginss greatness as a woman43After the incident, young Alfred would probably 。Afeel ashamed of her mother Blearn to live an independent lifeCchange his attitudes towards life Dhate MrCarr for hurting her motherCBeijing welcomes you!BeiBei: BeiBei stands for the blue Olympic ring.

Here is how schools and parents can encourage this important skill in children.If Dick Drew had listened to his boss in 1925, we might not have a product that we now think of as of great importance: a new type of tape. Drew worked for the Minnesota Mining Company. At work he developed a kind of material strong enough to hold things together. But his boss told him not to think more about the idea. Finally, using his own time, Drew improved the tape, which now is used everywhere by many people. And his former company learned from its mistake. Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their work time just thinking about and developing new ideas.Creativity is not something one is just born with, nor is it necessarily a character of high intelligence. The fact a person is highly intelligent does not mean that he uses it creatively. Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for something.Unfortunately, schools have not tried to encourage creativity. With strong attention to test results and the development of reading, writing and mathematical skills, many educators give up creativity for correct answers. The result is that children can give back information but cant recognize ways to use it in new situations. They may know the rules correctly but they are unable to use them to work out practical problems.It is important to give children choices. From the earliest age, children should be allowed to make decisions and understand their results. Even if its choosing between two food items for lunch, decision making helps thinking skills. As children grow older, parents should let their children decide how to use their time or spend their money. This is because the most important character of creative people is a very strong desire to find a way out of trouble.48. The company where Drew once worked learnt from its mistake that _.A. they should encourage people to work a longer timeB. they should discourage people to think freelyC. they should ask people to spend all their work time developing new ideasD. they should encourage people to spend some time considering and improving new ideas49. Creativity is something_A. that people are born withB. that depends on intelligenceC. that is a way of using what one has learned to work out new problemsD. that is not important at all50. Schools dont try to encourage creativity because _.A. they dont understand the importance of educationB. they dont want their students to make mistakesC. they pay too much attention to exam marks, language and mathematical skillsD. they think it more important to remember some information51. Parents should when their children decide how to spend their money.A. try to help them as much as possibleB. take no notice of whatever they doC. leave them as they are D. help them if their decision is wrongEHes an old cobbler （修鞋匠） with a shop in the Marais, a historic area in ParisWhen I took him my shoes, he at first told me: I havent timeTake them to the other fellow on the main street; hell fix them for you right awayBut Id had my eye on his shop for a long time. Just looking at his bench loaded with tools and pieces of leather, I knew he was a skilled craftsman (手艺人). No, I replied, The other fellow cant do it well.The other fellow was one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys while-U-wait - without knowing much about mending shoes or making keys. They work carelessly, and when they have finished sewing back a sandal strap (鞋带) ,you might as well just throw away the pair.My man saw I wouldnt give in, and he smiled. He wiped his hands on his blue apron (围裙), looked at my shoes, had me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said, Come back in a week.I was about to leave when he took a pair of soft leather boot
