(共两节，满分40分第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30)a where we live, on the eastern shore of maryland, the canada geese as well as the white swans and the ducks come home for the winter. one morning, a friend of mine set the breakfast table beside the huge window, which overlooked the tred avon river. suddenly she cried out, “there is a goose out there.” we saw the figure of a large canada goose with its wings folded tight to its sides, its feet frozen to the ice.then from the dark skies, she saw a line of swans. they floated downward and finally landed on the ice. my friend was on her feet now, with one unbelieving hand against her mouth. as the swans surrounded the frozen goose, she feared what life he still had might be pecked (啄) out by those great swan bills (嘴). instead, those bills began to work on the ice. the long necks were lifted and curved down, again and again. at last, the gooses head lifted. its body pulled. it was free and standing on the ice but still couldnt fly. then four of the swans chipped off the ice held in the feathers with powerful beaks. slowly, the goose spread its wings as far as they would go, and moved slowly into the sky.this is a true story from which comes only one hopeful question: if so for birds, why not for man?46. what happened to the canada goose?a. it was deserted by other geese. b. it was stuck in the ice.c. it was wounded and couldnt fly. d. it was lost in the water.47. at first the writers friend was worried that the _.a. swans would not help the canada gooseb. swans would have the same fate with the canada goosec. canada goose would not get on well with the swansd. swans would peck the canada goose to death48. what did the swans do when they saw the canada goose couldnt fly?a. they chipped off the ice held in its feathers.b. they waited patiently for the ice held in its feathers to melt.c. they lifted it up to the sky together.d. they stayed with it and protected it.49. what would probably happen to the writers friend in the end?a. she stood there, watching attentively, still feeling a bit worried.b. she was on her feet. c. she was embarrassed and went on with her breakfast silently.d. she stood there quietly, not realizing tears had run down her cheeks.b man is eager to draw quick profit from the trees. two thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire. it gained the empire but, without its trees, its soil became hard and poor, which resulted in floods and starvation.even though a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult for it to persuade its villagers to see this. the villagers want wood to cook their food with, and they can earn money by making charcoal (木炭) or selling wood in the town. so unless the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests will slowly disappear.this does not only mean that the villagers children and grandchildren have fewer trees. the results are even more serious. for where there are trees their roots break the soil up allowing the rain to sink in and also hold the soil, thus preventing it from being washed away easily, but where there are no trees, the soil becomes hard and poor. the rain falls on hard ground and flows away on the surface, causing floods and carrying away with it the rich topsoil, in which crops grow so well. when all the topsoil is gone, nothing remains but a worthless desert.50. the purpose of writing the passage is to _.a. tell people the use of wood b. tell people the function of tree rootsc. warn that man mustnt destroy forests any mored. explain how trees help to prevent drought and floods51. in the writers opinion, _, or the forests will gradually disappear.a. measures must be taken b. people shouldnt draw benefit from treesc. government must realize the serious results d. unless trees never be cut down52. from the passage we learn it is _ to prevent the forests from slowly disappearing.a. necessary but impossible b. necessary but difficultc. impossible and unimportant d. difficult and impossible53. in the last paragraph the writer wanted to make it clear that _.a. where there are no trees, the soil becomes poor but softb. where there are many trees, there are more floodsc. where there are no trees, the land might slowly become desert d. floods will make the land become desertc australia has very strict laws relating to the importation and possession of certain goods. food, plant material and animal products including many common souvenirs (纪念品) from overseas could introduce some of the worlds most serious pests and diseases into australia. failing to declare (申报) quarantine items (需要检疫的物品) on arrival could destroy the countrys agriculture, tourism industries and special environment. every piece of luggage will be screened or x-rayed on arrival in australia. so you must declare for inspection of all food, plant material and animal products to check that they are free of pests and diseases. you must tick yes on the incoming passenger card (ipc) to declare if you are carrying any food, plant material or animal products. if you fail to declare or dispose of (处理) any quarantine items, or make a false declaration:you will get caught.you could be fined over $200 on the spot.you could be prosecuted (起诉) and fined more than a $60,000 and risk up to 10 years imprisonment.54. the reason why you are asked to declare quarantine items on your arrival in australia is that _.a. too many overseas products could destroy australias tourism industryb. animal products are often the cause of various diseasesc. bad food can spread diseases easily, as is known to everyoned. these items may carry dangerous pests or diseases into australia 55. you need to declare the following things except _ if you have them in your luggage.a. some metal hairclips (发夹) b. dried flowers c. some moon-cakes d. a bottle of honey56. for what purpose is the passage written? a. to inform the passengers of the law on the exportation of goods.b. to warn the passengers not to take unsafe goods.c. to tell the passengers to australia to declare their quarantine items. d. to urge the passengers to protect the agriculture, tourism and environment.57. if you dont declare quarantine items, you _.a. can probably get away with it b. are sure to be discovered and punished c. can turn to the customs officers for help d. can give them away to a quarantine office d more and more often we heard of people talking about karaoke (卡拉ok). but what on earth it is about still remains a question for many people. karaoke is a sort of acoustic (听觉的) equipment which was invented in japan around the middle of the 1970s. it means a band without people in japanese. in fact, it is just a music tape without words. this equipment first appeared in some public houses and snack bars, and mainly for the customers to enjoy themselves. most of the music in karaoke was popular music. therefore, at times, when anyone felt like it, he might sing songs to the accompaniment (陪伴) of the music that came from the equipment. shortly after its invention, karaoke was spread to the whole world. it was introduced to china and was welcomed by many people. although you are not a good singer, or even sometimes you may sing out of tune, you can always enjoy yourself by singing karaoke.58. in this passage band means group of persons _. a. who play games on the sports ground b. who play music togetherc. living in the same neighborhoodd. doing things together under a leader and with a common purpose59. karaoke is just a _. a. cassette tape with only music b. cassette tape recorder c. band from japan d. voice recording equipment60. karaoke was spread to the whole world _. a. as soon as it was invented b. long before c. not long after it was invented d. before long第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分l0分)根据短文内容，从下框的af选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余项。a. help your children get organizedb. help your children set a schedulec. give children the responsibility for their own homework d. provide your children with a study areae. praise your children for working hardf. offer your children information if necessary once children reach the grades where homework and tests are part of the curriculum, there are many things parents can do to encourage good study habits.61. _ parents should decide with their children what time each day homework is to be done. while children are in the lower grades, one hour a day will probably enough. as homework and responsibilities increase, more time will be needed. it is important that children take part in these decisions. children need to know that they are able to make decisions about their studying. once children and parents have decided on a schedule, they should stick to it. if there is no home work to be done on a given day, parents can have their children use this time as quiet time to read or work on long term projects. its important for children to get used to studying every day.62. _ parents should offer their children a quiet, comfortable place to study in. its a good idea that studying is done in the same place every day. parents should make sure their children have the supplies they need (for example, paper, pencils, a pencil sharpener). sometimes childrens bedrooms are not the best place to study in. there are often lots of distractions in childrens rooms.63. _ parents should give their children a calendar on which to record assignments and to check them off when they are completed. parents can also show their children how to keep their work and materials organized and how to prioritize assignments.64. _ parents should be available to answer any questions that might come up. they should try to provide information without actually doing the homework for their children.65. _ parents cannot force their children to study. nagging (唠叨) and threatening dont work. children need to know that they are responsible for doing their homework and for studying. parents should give their children the responsibility, and let them suffer the consequences if they, for example, fail to turn in an assignment. the parents role is to provide support. remember, children must learn that they are responsible or their own learning. parents can make the difference by giving their children the tools to do so.第三部分 写作（共三节，满分55分）第一节单词拼写（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）根据下列各句句意和空白之后的汉语提示词，在答题卡指定区域的横线上写出对应单词的正确形式，每空只写一词。1. mary_(假装)to be working hard when the boss came in.2. only a few of them thought highly
