To be good enough to play in a band, Brenda had to practice a lot, but she lived next-door to a lot of old people. Many of them are sick. She knew that the sound of beating drums would really get on their nerves. So, she had tried playing in the strangest places: a basement, a kitchen, and even in a shower. But there was always someone it would annoy. One day, while watching a science documentary on TV, she heard that sound cannot travel in space, because theres no air. At that moment, Brenda Bongos decided to become a sort of musical astronaut. With the help of a lot of time, books and work, Brenda built a space bubble. This was a big glass ball connected to a machine which sucked out all the air inside. All that would be left inside was a drum kit（成套设备） and a chair. Brenda got into the space suit she had made, entered the bubble, turned on the machine, and played those drums like a wild child. It wasnt long before Brenda Bongos came very famous. Many people came to see her play in her space bubble. Shortly afterwards she came out of the bubble and started giving concerts. Her fame spread so much that the government suggested that she be part of a unique space journey. Finally, Brenda was a real musical astronaut, and had gone far beyond her first ambition of playing drums in a band. Years later, when asked how she had achieved all this, she thought for a moment, and said: If those old people next door hadnt mattered so much to me, I wouldnt have found a solution, and none of this would have ever happened.35Why did Brenda try to play in the strangest places?A. Because she didnt want others to hear her playB. Because she didnt mean to disturb others.C. Because she didnt have her own roomD. Because she didnt like her neighbors.36Brenda started to give concerts _.A. after she practiced in her space bubbleB. when she became part of the unique space journeyC. after she became a real musical astronautD. when people came to see her in the space bubble37Brenda became famous because _.A. she was good at music and science B. she became a real musical astronautC. she invented a special way of practice D. she played well and had a talent38It can be inferred from the text that: _.A. He laughs best who laughs last B. Its never too old to learnC. Two heads are better than one D. One good turn deserves another C(NEW YORK) A French tourist highly praised for rescuing a two-year-old girl in Manhattan said he didnt think twice before diving into the freezing East River. Tuesdays Daily News said 29-year-old Julien Duret from France was the man who left the spot quickly after the rescue last Saturday. He lifted the little girl out of the water after she fell off the bank at the South Street Seaport museum. He handed the girl to her father, David Anderson, who had dived in after him. “I didnt think at all,” Duret told the Daily News. “It happened very fast. I reacted very fast.” Duret, an engineer on vacation, was walking with his girlfriend along the pier(码头) when he saw something falling into the water. He thought it was a doll, but realized it was a child when he approached the river. Immediately, he took off his coat and jumped into the water. When he reached the girl, she appeared lifeless, he said. Fortunately, when she was out of the water, she opened her eyes. Anderson said his daughter slipped off the bank when he was adjusting his camera. An ambulance came later for her, said Duret, who was handed dry clothes from onlookers. Duret caught a taxi with his girlfriend shortly after. The rescue happened on the day before he left for France. Duret said he didnt realize his story of heroism had greatly moved New York until he was leaving the city the next morning. “I dont really think Im a hero,” said Duret. “Anyone would do the same thing.”39Why was Duret in New York? A. To meet his girlfriend. B. To spend his holiday. C. To work as an engineer. D. To visit the Andersons.40What did Duret do shortly after the ambulance came? A. He was interviewed by a newspaper. B. He went to the hospital in the ambulance. C. He disappeared from the spot quickly. D. He asked his girlfriend for his dry clothes.41Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Duret thought twice before he jumped into the cold water. B. Duret dived into the water before the girls father. C. The rescue happened on the day Duret left for France. D. Duret didnt think he was brave enough to be a hero.42What is probably the headline of this news report? A. A Careless Father B. A Poor Girl C. Warm-hearted Onlookers D. Brave Frenchman Found DMaybe it is true that we do not know what we have got until we lose it, but it is also true that we do not know what we have been missing until it arrives.It takes an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Do not expect love in return; but if it does not, be content it has grown in yours. Do not rely on ones appearance; it can trick you. Do not rely on wealth; even that fades away. Rely on someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them. Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past. You cannot go on well in life until you let your past failures and heartaches go off. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trails to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy. The happiest of people do not necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness waits for those who cry, those appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives. Always put yourself in others shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too.When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you are the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.43In this passage, the writer wants to tell us _.A. what to do in our life B. where to go with other personsC. how to treat our life D. how to get on well with other persons44Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A.

If it takes you a short time to love someone, you will easily forget the person.45If you put yourself in another persons position, _.A. you shouldnt do what will hurt other peopleB. you should put on other peoples shoesC. you should believe in other peopleD. you should depend on your imagination46In the last paragraph the writer is actually telling us that a person in the world should be one who _.A. can accept the suggestions made by othersB. can live happily and forget the pastC. does good to other people and is respected and loved by themD. has made a lot of money for himself before he dies EA new study of 8,000 young people in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily, it is a bad thing for young people. Puppy love (早恋) may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression . The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys, and younger girls are the worst of all.The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”. According to the study, even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”, this “loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions. They wont tell that to their parents.Dr Marian Kaufman, an expert on young people problems, says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression. She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up, it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends, attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.Parents should watch for signs of depression - eating or mood changes - and if they see signs from their daughters or sons, they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age. Love will always make us feel young, but only maturity (成熟) gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.47Which of the following is more likely to have depression?A. Young people who have a strong sense of selfishness.B. Young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions.C. Young boys whose parents watch for their behavior.D. Careless parents whose children are deep in love.48What can be inferred from the passage?A. The older a woman is，the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance.B. Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly.C. Early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents.D. Parents should help their children to be aware of the signs of depression.49Whats the authors attitude towards puppy love?A. Confused. B. Disinterested. C. Scared. D. Disapproving.50Whats the main idea of the passage?A. Puppy love may bring young people depression. B. Parents should forbid their childrens love.C. Romance is a two ? edged sword for adults.D. Romance is good for young people.第二节 根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项多余选项。（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）-Hello, Susan, why are you so late for work today?- 51 A man came up to me and pulled out a knife.
