and shortly before christmas, there was a match against a team of mostly black kids sponsored by a church. these young men, dressed in ragged sneakers, 41 a sharp contrast to our boys in their nice uniforms and sparkling new wrestling shoes. as the match began, i was alarmed to see that the other team was wrestling without helmets, a luxury that they obviously couldnt 42 . well, we thoroughly defeated them and took every weight class. mike shook his head 43 , i wish just one of them could have won, he said. they have a lot of potential, but losing like this could take the heart right out of them.1mike loved kids and he knew them. thats when the 44 for his present came. that afternoon, i went to a local 45 goods store and bought wrestling headgear and shoes and sent them anonymously（慝名） to the church. on christmas eve, i placed the envelope on the tree, the note inside telling mike what i had done and that this was my gift from him. his 46 was the brightest thing about christmas that year and in 47 years.36aparticipationbeditioncidentificationdqualification37aloved bcelebratedcspentdhated38aeducational bcommercial cspiritual dsocial39aexpensivebpractical cespecial dspecial40aunusual bawkwardcastonishingdattractive41apresentedbpossessedcprohibiteddpreserved42aadvocate babuse cadoptdafford43aheavilybhappilycsadlyddeliberately44aenvelopebideacmoneydshop45asportingbclothing ccheapdopening46acarbsmileceyedhelmet47asucceedingbpastcpassingdfascinatingsection c (12marks)direct ions: complete the following passage by filling in each blank with the word that best fits the contexttom went to the seaside to spend his holiday last summer with his familyone day, he was swimming in the river when someone shouted, “look out , there is 48 shark not far away!” hearing the shout, tom was scared to death 49 he was scared of its dangerous characteristic. dont worry, tom！ his father said, 50 wed better go back to our hotel in order to avoid being harmed.”51. stayed in the seaside for several weeks. though the weather was much hotter, tom got used to it. every morning, he got up52. than his parents and went for breakfast ahead of time. then he went to have a chat with his new friend, jacknot only53 jack familiar with the seaside, but he was also a man with good qualificationthey became very good friends soonafter parted, they kept writing to each othernow, tom still often hears54 jackthey talked in their letters about things and persons55 they remembered in the seasidedirections: read the following three passageseach passage is followed by several questions unfinished statements. for each of them there are four choices marked a,b,c and dchoose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passageawhen buying from a dealer, the law says that a car must be:as described:this includes the history of the car as well as its specificationfor example, if the dealer described the car as previously having “one careful lady owner”, it shouldnt turn out to have had several previous “boy racer” owners.of satisfactory quality: it must meet the standard that a reasonable person would regard as acceptable and be free from any quality problemalso, bear in mind that a second-hand car will have a slightly different definition of what is considered “satisfactory”, because theres certainly an element of wear and tearfit for the purpose:it must be reasonable fit for any normal purpose and this includes any purpose that you specify to the sellerif any of the above is violated, then in theory, you may have the fight to reject the vehicle and get your money back if youre reasonably quick. alternatively, the dealer might offer to replace or repair the car; reduce the price of offering a partial refund(退款).once youve informed the dealer that you wish to reject the car , you must stop using the vehicle.if the rejection is not accepted, then its up to you to prove your case. youll need to pay for an independent assessment of the car and sue for damages. if you do choose a repair, insist the dealer provide you with a hire car or pay any reasonable traveling expenses thus produced while your new car is in the garage.if the car is new ,its likely that the claim will be too high to be fought. using the small claims procedure to you may have to pay for legal representation. all this can be pretty daunting and expensive. you need to weigh up the pros and cons before rejecting a car. would a repair do just as well? selecting a dealer who offers a clear exchange policy may help.56after the above writing, you will be better at .achoosing a carbdealing with car sellerscmaking a claimdsuing for damages57according to the text, what is essential after you inform the dealer of your wish to reject the car?asuing for damagesbdemanding traveling expensescstopping using itdproving your case58if the dealer offers to repair the car you have bought, which of the following is acceptable?aasking the dealer to provide you with a hire carbasking the dealer to provide you with repair tool setscasking the dealer to pay all of your traveling expensesdasking the dealer to return all your money59which of the following words has the closest meaning to the underlined word “daunting” in the last paragraph?adifferentbeffectivecdiscouragingdconvenient60what does the writer want to say in the last paragraph?abuyers should select a dealer that offers to repair the carbrejecting a new car is not necessarily that best choicecits necessary that a new car should be repaireddbuyers should never reject a mew carbdear kind-trustee-who-sends-orphans-to-college,here i an! i traveled yesterday for four hours in a trainits a funny feeling, isnt it? i never rode in one beforecollege is the biggest, most puzzling placei get lost whenever i leave my room. i will write you a description later when im feeling less confused; also i will tell you about my lessons. classes dont begin until monday morning, and this is saturday night. but i wanted to write a letter first just to get acquainted.it seems strange to be writing letters to somebody you dont know. it seems strange for me to be writing letters at allive never written more than three or four in my life, so please overlook it if these are not a model kind.before leaving yesterday morning, mrs. lippett and i had a very serious talk. she told me how to behave all the rest of my life, and especially how to behave towards the kind gentleman who is doing so much for me. i must take care to be very respectful.but how can one be very respectful to a person who wishes to be called john smith? why couldnt youhave picked out a name with a little personality? i might as well write letters to dear flagpole or dear clothes-line.i have been thinking about you a great deal this summer; having somebody take an interest in me after all these years makes me feel as though i had found a sort of family. it seems as though i belonged to somebody now, and its a very comfortable feeling. i must say, however, that when i think about you, my imagination has very little to work upon. there are just three things that i know: i, you are tall. . you are rich. . you hate girls.i suppose i might call you dear mr. girl-hater. only thats rather rude to me. or dear mr. rich-man, but thats rude to you, as though money were the only important thing about you. besides, being rich is such a very external quality. maybe you wont stay rich all your life; lots of very clever men get broke in wall street. but at least you will stay tall all your life! so ive decided to call you dear daddy-long-legs. i hope you wont mind. its just a private pet name we wont tell mrs. lippett.the ten oclock bell is going to ring in two minutes. our day is divided into sections by bells. we eat and sleep and study by bells. its very lifeful. there it goes! lights out. good night.observe how precisely i obey rules-due to my training in the john grier home.yours most respectfully,jerusha abbottto mr. daddy-long-legs smith61jerusha felt “confused” because ashe had never written to the trustee beforebshe was not familiar with the college yetcshe could never find the way to her homedshe had never traveled on a train berore62jerusha thought that she couldnt be very respectful to “john smith” because ahe was a total stranger to herbshe was sure it was a false identitycthe name was too commondnobody would like to be called that time63according to jerusha, being rich may be atentativebunimaginablectraditional drude64the fact that her day is “divided into sections by bells” makes jerusha feel abusybrestricted by rulescpressed for timedfull of energy65jerusha decided to call the trustee dear daddy-long-legs ain order to show her respect for himbbecause it was one of his inner qualitycin older to make them feel closer to each otherdbecause she had always wanted a fathercthe next generation of smart phone could combine the date from its gyroscopes (陀螺仪) with a built-in compass to allow you to track your indoor movements even without gpsresearch described it in the international journal of innovative computing and applications by shahid ayub of lancaster university, and his colleagues there and at hw communications, suggests that the embedded inertial sensors (嵌入式惯性传感器) in many smart phones have added the facility to be used for localisation and tracking applications. the primary benefit of using smart phones is that no additional infrastructure would need to be installed for monitoring personnel movements in a wide variety of situations not least staff, equipment and inventory movements in warehouse facilities, shopping malls and factories. in contrast, other technology being proposed would require new equipment，such as rfid technologies.however, smart phones do not yet have the ability to pinpoint their location without recourse to the gps system, which is not accessible indoors and has the added disadvantage of using up battery power very quickly even if it could be used. inertial navigation only provides the necessary information relative to a specified starting point the team says. this is useful for anyone
