lucky tiffany! she gets everything she wants! why do you feel sorry for her? i burst into tears. my mom sat down next to me and said softly. yes, i do feel sorry for her. i have been teaching you a lesson that she will never be taught. i looked up at her. what are you talking about? mom said with care, one day she will really want something. maybe shell find out that she cant have it. her mother wont always be around to give her money, and whats more, money cant buy everything. she continued, i have taught you valuable lessons by not giving you everything you want. youll know how to look for bargains and save money, but she wont. youll understand that you need to work hard to get the things that you want but she wont. when tiffany is a grown woman, shell wake up one day and she will be wishing that she had a mom like the one youve got. life lessons are more important than modern clothes and delicious food. it took some time, but i eventually understood my moms words. now i am a happy and successful woman.31. during the authors elementary school years, she _. a. wished that her mom were as good as tiffanys b. went to school with tiffany every day c. usually compared her lesson with tiffanys d. sometimes gave lots of money to tiffany 32. why did the authors mom always say poor tiffany? a. she felt sorry for tiffany because tiffany was poor. b. she wanted to tell a lie to comfort the author. c. she thought that tiffany was spoiled by her mother. d. she told the author this and wanted her to help tiffany. 33. what do we learn about the authors mother? a. she was strict and taught the author to be independent. b. she cared for other peoples children more than her own. c. she thought that life lessons were as important as money. d. she was so poor that she couldnt give the author much money. 34. what can we infer from the passage? a. the author was quite annoyed with her mother in the past. b. the authors mother felt sorry for tiffany. c. tiffanys mother took the authors mothers advice. d. the author is thankful to her mother now. bthe future body networkare you tired of wires that spread all over your desk and make your tea pour onto your keyboard? if so, you may consider using devices（设备）that use technologies like wi-fi or bluetooth. neither of them sends information through wires. it sounds perfect, doesnt it? but this is not the end of the story.scientists are now trying to use the human body to do a similar job. they have come up with the idea of sending information over the small electric field on the surface of the skin. to do this, a transmitter（传送器）could be built into your pocket or a portable device like an mp3 player. this transmitter would then use your skins electrical field to send information to a receiving device. since this kind of transmission can only go as far as 20cm, the receiver would have to be close to some part of your body.by using this body network, you wouldnt need a wire to link your mp3 player in your pocket to the headphones in your ears, or to send to your computer the pictures from a digital camera hanging around your neck. moreover, you can exchange electronic cards or share music files with others by shaking hands, dancing cheek（脸颊）to cheek, or kissing each other.now, here comes a question. why would anyone want to use their body as a network when wi-fi and bluetooth already exist? the answer lies in the fact that with wi-fi or bluetooth, it is hard to limit the signals only to your own use. in a busy place, you can never know who might steal your information. however, body networking is safer. it is hard for other people to pick up signals sent over the surface of your skin since this body network only has a limit of 20cm from your body. thus, no one else can easily pick up and interpret your signals.moreover, the most important use of body networking in the future may well be communication within the body rather than just on its surface. imagine having a number of small devices implanted under your skin and using them to control your own nervous system. in other words, imagine that you have a powerful in-body computer. what do you think of this idea? does it sound cool, like being a character in the movie robocop? or would you prefer to be just an ordinary human being?35. whats the main idea of the passage? a. technology is causing us to be lazy. b. technology is doing harm to our body.c. technology is advancing too quickly. d. technology is making our life easier.36. which of the following is not the way to exchange information over the skin?a. shaking hands. b. looking into ones eyes.c. kissing each other. d. dancing cheek to cheek.37. the body network is safer because _.a. the information is only important to youb. the information is stored inside your bodyc. the information is sent out only 20cm from your bodyd. the information is controlled by your nervous system38. the movie robocop is most likely about_.a. a man that is controlled by a computer b. a computer that turns into a man c. a robot that catches a thief d. a thief that steals a robotc our lifestyles today are very busy. we have family, school, sports, entertainment and social activities to fit into a time that seems never enough. we need to be healthy to meet the demands of daily life. but what does it mean to have a healthy lifestyle? to have a healthy lifestyle, we need to: eat different kinds of healthy food most of the time do exercise often have time to relax get enough sleep to give our bodies time to grow healthy and strong read about a normal day in the lives of two children. abbey gets up at 7:00 am, feeds the dog, and has cereal (谷物) and a glass of juice for breakfast. she walks to school with her friend, julia. she has a bag of chips for a morning snack, drinks water, and has a chicken and lettuce sandwich with a banana for lunch. she likes to play soccer with her friends at lunch and morning break time. she walks home with julia, has some crackers with cheese and juice for afternoon snack and plays with the dog for a while. she plays computer games for an hour or two before dinner, then has a shower and does her homework. she watches her favorite television show for an hour, then usually goes to bed at about 9:30 pm. carl gets up at 8:30 am and has two pieces of bread with jam and a glass of milk for breakfast. his mother drives him to school on her way to work. he eats cookies with juice for morning snack and a pot pie ordered from the school lunch room with juice for lunch. he likes to play card games with his friends at lunchtime and climb the fixed equipment at morning break time. he catches the bus home, has a cereal bar and a can of soda for afternoon snack, then watches some television. he has a shower before dinner, then plays the computer for an hour or two. he goes to bed at about 10:30 pm. no matter which kind of lifestyle you agree on, just remember its important to balance all aspects of life.39. about a healthy lifestyle, the writer doesnt talk about _. a. diet b. exercise c. relaxation d. medicine 40. what can we learn from the article?

a. a health magazine. b. a clothing website. c. a sports guidebook. d. a travel advertisement.dmoods, say the experts, are feelings that are likely to become fixed, having effects on ones outlook (way of looking at things) for hours, days or even weeks. thats great if your mood is a pleasant one, but a problem if you are sad, anxious, angry, or simply lonely. perhaps the best way to deal with such moods is to talk them out; sometimes, though, there is no one to listen. modern pharmacology (药理学) offers a lot of tranquilizers (镇静剂) and anti-anxiety drugs. what many people dont realize, however, is that scientists have discovered the effectiveness of several non-drug methods to make you free from an unwanted mood. these can be just as useful as drugs, and have the added benefit of being nonpoisonous. so next time you feel out of sorts, dont head for the drug storetry the following method. of all the mood-changing self-help techniques, aerobic exercise (有氧运动) seem to be the best cure for a bad mood. if you could keep the exercise, youd be in high spirits, says kathryn lance, author of running for health and beauty. researchers have explained biochemical and various other changes that make exercise a better mood-raiser than drugs. physical work such as housework, however, does little. the key is aerobic exercise running, cycling, walking, swimming, or other repetitive and sustained activities that increase the heart rate and circulation(循环), and improve the bodys use of oxygen. do them for at least 20 minutes a time, three to five times a week. 42. what is the main subject of the passage? a. how to beat a bad mood. b. how to talk bad moods out. c. how to do physical exercises. d. how to do aerobic exercise. 43. it can be inferred from the passage that _. a. when one is in a bad mood, he or she may not work very well b. the best way to overcome a bad mood is to talk to oneself c. some drugs are more effective than physical exercises d. taking drugs is at risk of being poisonous 44. the phrase feel out of sorts, as is used in the second paragraph, could be best replaced by _. a. put things in order b. are in a bad mood c. search for tranquilizers d. want a mood-raiser 45. which of the following best describes the organization of this passage? a. an exercise and its importance are explained b. a problem is examined and solutions are given c. two different views of a problem are presented d. recent developments in medicine are described 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。 what is your favourite colour? do you like yellow, orange, red? _46_. do you prefer greys and blues? then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. you tend to be a pessimist (悲观主义者). at least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. _47_ . if you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly. _48_. a yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. _49_ . a black bridge over the thames river, near london, used to be the scene of more suicides (自杀) than any other bridge in the area-until it was repainted green. the number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue. _50_. it is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey. a. on the other hand, black is depressing. b. they tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favourite colour as we grow up - we are born with our preference. c. the rooms are painted in different colours as you like. d. if you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. e. light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active. f. life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colours.g. colours do influence our moods-there is no doubt about it. 第三部分：写作(共两节.满分30分)第一节 短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（），并在其下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用斜线（）划掉。修改：在错的词下面划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意：1. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词； 2. 只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分。 when we learn english, we always find we have difficulties in remembering the names of the months. therefore, if we know something about the history of the months, possibly it wont be very harder for us to remember them. the following is one of exam
