It had a fever. For several days, I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as “hopeless”, “pitiful”, and “dying”, which sounded ominous. Christmas was coming. “Dont expect any presents this year”, Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room. “If your baby brother lives, thatll be Christmas enough.” As he spoke, his eyes filled with tears. Id never seen him cry before. The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it. From my bedroom I heard him say. “What? Hes all right?” He hung up and shouted upstairs, “The hospital said we can bring Richard home!” “Thank God!” I heard Mum cry.From the upstairs window, I watched my parents rush out to the car. I had never seen them happy. And I was also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home, downstairs. My sacks still hung there flat.

When you say the words “I Love You”, make sure you really mean it, and are willing to do anything for that special person._54_ If you love someone, you should understand how they feel, where they come from, and who they are. Realise how they could also love you back just as well.Love unconditionally. Giving unconditional love requires you to love without any expectations. _55_It seems difficult to only love and not demand anything in return in todays world where everyone is selfish. But even in this world we see many examples of unconditional love, for example the love a mother gives to her child and the love between two life partners. To love unconditionally, you will have to learn to sacrifice yourself and your desires and also realise that someone may have a different way of showing his or her love for you. _56_Realise it can be lost. If you realise that you can lose the one you love, then you have a greater appreciation of what you have. _57_ Dont make an idol of the person you love. This will place them under unnecessary pressure and will likely result in you losing them.Never stop loving. Even if you have been hurt before, you should not stop giving love.Section D(6%)Directions: read the passage carefully. Then write an English summary in about 40 words in your own words according to the passage given below.More and more people like bicycling and it is no surprise. It is fun, healthy and good for the environment. Maybe thats why there are 1.4 billion bicycles and only 400 million cars on roads worldwide today. Bikes can take you almost anywhere, and there is no oil cost! Get on a bicycle and ride around your neighborhood. You may discover something new all around you. Stopping and getting off a bike is easier than stopping and getting out of your car. You can bike to work and benefit (受益) from the enjoyable exercise without polluting the environment. You dont even have to ride all the way. Folding (折叠) bikes work well for people who ride the train. Just fold the bike and take it with you. You can do the same on an airplane. A folding bike can be packed in a suitcase. You can also take a common bike with you when you fly. But be sure to look for information by getting on airline websites. Not all airlines are bicycle-friendly to travellers. Health Benefits of Bicycling: It helps to prevent heart diseases and to control your weight. A 15-minute bike ride to and from work three times a week burns off five kilos of fat in a year. Bicycling can improve your mood (心情).Exercise like bicycling has been shown to make people feel better, more relaxed and self-confident .Bicycling is healthier than driving.第II卷（共30分）I Translation (15分 3+3+4+5)Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1.你方便在回家的路上帮我买点水果吗？。(convenient)2失去像你堂兄这么重要的一个顾客，我担负不起。（afford）3.尽管精通计算机，但是他还是不能胜任老板交代给他的任务。（despite）4. 作为这个领域的一个新手，他总是设法将理论与实际结合，最终找到了这个问题的最佳解决方案。 （combine）II.
