car accident just thirty minutes ago. cause of the accident is not yet found out. a great fire swept through a storehouse next to the fulton river early this morning, causing about $3,000,000 in damage. the fire which broke out at about 2:30 was finally put out at 5: 30. that was the morning news highlights, dan verne reporting.56. according to the passage the car accident happened at _.a.8:00b.7:30c.2:30d.8:3057. how many pieces of news are reported in the short passage?a. two.b. three.c. one.d. four.58. the above passage may probably appear _.a. in the newspaperb. in a magazinec. on the radiod. on the telephoneb this is an excerpt from a speech by steve jobs (former ceo of apple) delivered to graduates of stanford university. i was lucky -i found what i loved to do early in life. woz and i started apple in my parents garage when i was twenty. we worked hard, and in ten years apple had grown from just two of us into a $2 billion company with over 4,000 employees. and i had just turned thirty. then i got fired. i was out. i really didnt know what to do for a few months. i even thought about running away from silicon valley(硅谷). but something slowly began to dawn on me-i still loved what i did. and so i decided to start over. i didnt see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from apple was the best thing that i could have ever happened to me. the heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. it freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life. being fired from apple was an awful tasting medicine, but i guess the patient needed it. sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. dont lose faith. youve got to find what you love. if you havent found it yet,

pilgrims landed at what is now plymouth, massachusetts, in 1620. they had a difficult time and the first winter was cruel. many of the pilgrims died. but the next year, they had a good harvest. so governor bradford declared a three-day feast（盛宴）. the pilgrims invited indian friends to join them for their special feast. everyone brought food. in time, other colonies（殖民地）began to celebrate a day of thanksgiving. but it took years before there was a national thanksgiving day. during the civil war, sarah josepha hale persuaded abraham lincoln to do something about it. he proclaimed（宣布）the last thursday of november 1863 as a day of thanksgiving. today, americans celebrate this happy harvest festival on the fourth thursday in november. canadians celebrate thanksgiving day in much the same way

good postal system. if anyone wanted to tell a friend that they were coming for tea in the afternoon, they would send a postcard in the morning. “drop me a card” was as common then as “give me a ring”

- dont solve much. but other ways, like talking to someone you trust, can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better. try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed: (1) get support. when you need help, reach out to the people who care about you. talk to a trusted adult, such as a parent or other relatives. 72 they might have had similar problems, such as dealing with a test, or the death of a beloved pet. (2) dont take it out on yourself. sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves. oh, dear, thats not a good idea. remember that there are always people to help you. dont take it out on yourself. 73 (3) try to solve the problem. after youre calm and you have support from adults and friends, its time to get down to business. 74 even if you cant solve it all, you can solve a piece of it. (4) be positive. most stress is temporary (暂时的). remember stress does go away, especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it. these steps arent magic, but they do work. and if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time, youll help yourself feel better even faster. 75 a. ask for a helping hand to get you through the tough situation. b. notice your friends feelings and find a way to help them. c. different people feel stress in different ways. d. ah, it feels so good when the stress is gone. e. you need to figure out what the problem is. f. and dont forget about your friends. g. then, find a way to calm down. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分35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中间交换修改作文，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，每处错误仅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。my father and i stayed at the south lake hotel for a week when we visit beijing last month. it is in the downtown area, but it is easy to go to anywhere from the hotel by public transport.we live
