For both my 27 and I, she was the cook, maid and teacher. She played these roles while 28 some type of part-time job. Leaving a promising career is just one of the 29 which my mother made for my family as we moved around the world with our father every three years or so. 30 she had to deal with only a small budget, my mother 31 managed to make each house to be the very home that is safe and 32 .This probably sounds like a depressing way to live, 33 with two small children: “single” parenthood, short-term friendships, and the inability to 34 a career or establish a home. But it was not for my mother. She turned this 35 into adventure for us all! Each relocation was a chance to 36 another part of the world. My mother greeted each new culture, climate and neighborhood. Each new house was a 37 to rearrange furniture, make curtains and 38 pictures. Every part-time job was an opportunity to learn something new and work with interesting people.No matter how difficult the life was, she was always having a 39 attitude. She always had strength in the face of struggle and change. My mother was so 40 all those years of my childhoodshe was my island in a sea of change. She is my hero.21Aleave behind Bleave out Cleave off Dleave for22Aliving Bstaring Cstanding Dgoing23Acar Bship Ctrain Dplane24Arange Bshape Csight Dcontrol25Aadapting Bsuiting Cmatching Dfitting26Anames Bjobs Caddresses Ddirections27Afather Bclassmates Cbrother Drelatives28Aperforming Bseeking Cwaiting Dapplying29Aprograms Bsacrifices Ccontribution Dcooperation30AOnce BWhile CWhen DUnless31Asomewhere Bsomewhat Csometime Dsomehow32Aromantic Bcomfortable Cmysterious Dwealthy33Agenerally Bactually Cespecially Dunfairly34Adesert Bpursue Caffect Dlimit35Alifestyle Bvalue Cjourney Dopportunity36Aacquire Bexplore Coccupy Drealize37Aload Bsadness Cresult Dchallenge38Ahang Bdraw Ctake Dsell39Achangeable Bcautious Cpositive Dnegative40Aexperienced Bbrave Cordinary Dannoyed第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分50分) 第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分) AWhile it is impossible to live completely free of stress，it is possible to prevent stress as well asreduce its effect when it cant be avoidedThe US Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to deal with stress Try physical activity When you are nervous，angry or upset，try releasing the pressure through exercise or physicalactivityRunning，walking，playing tennis，and working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try Take care of yourself You should make every effort to eat well and get enough restIf you easily get angry and cant sleep well enough，or if youre not eating properly，it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situationsIf stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping，you should consult a doctor Make time for yourself Schedule time for both work and entertainmentDont forget，play can be just as important to your overall well-being as workYou need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have funGo window-shopping or work on a hobbyAllow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy Make a list of things to do Stress can result from disorganization and a feeling that “theres so much to do，and not enough time”Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result，you may not achieve anythingInstead，make a list of everything you have to do，then do one thing at a time，checking off each task as it is completedSet out to do the most important task first41Which of the following statements shows that you have fallen into stressful situations?

At 7, my neighborhood was the beginning and end of my universe. It was a small town to me. Everyone knew each other, so if you got into trouble in school, chances are that your mom knew about it before you got home. I felt watched over and safe.But just before I turned 8, things began to change. I watched two buildings on my block burned down. I remember seeing my neighbor Pito go up and down the fire escape to get people out. Where were the firemen? Where was the truck? Somebody must have called them.That same summer, after serving two tours in Vietnam, my brother was killed in the South Bronx. He was shot above the left eye and died instantly.People who could moved out of the neighborhood, and all I wanted to do was get out, too. I used education to get away from there and got good at avoiding the topic of where I was from. To be from the South Bronx meant that you were not a good person. It felt like a stain (污点).After college, I didnt want to come back to the South Bronx, but in order to afford graduate school, I had to. I was almost 30 and could only afford to live at my parents home. It felt like a defeat, and I hated it.At the same time, the city was planning a huge waste facility here, and no one seemed to care - including many of us who lived here. They were like, “Well, its a poor community; whats the difference?”After that, I realized its just as important to fight for something as it is to fight against something. So we dreamed up a new park on the site of an illegal waste dump and after many community clean-ups, along with $3 million from the city, we have one. And its a glory. It was the seed from which many new plants for our community have grown.Today, the South Bronx is no longer a stain; its a symbol of honor for me. I believe that where Im from helps me to really see the world. Today, when I say Im from the South Bronx, I stand up straight. This is home, and it always will be.45.

Qian, a pioneer in mechanics and applied mathematics in modern China, was one of the three famous Qians in Chinas science and technology field. He was well known alongside Qian Xuesen, the father of Chinas space program, and Qian Sanqiang, a nuclear physicist who oversaw the development of Chinas nuclear program.Wu Shuqing, former president of Peking University, said Qian was an internationally well-known scholar whose modesty and conduct has set a good example for following generations.After learning about Qians death, millions of Chinese people offered their condolences (吊唁) online. Many students from Shanghai University, where Qian was a former president, burst into tears after hearing the news, saying it was a great loss to the university and to China. For those off campus for the summer vocation, many visited their university website, which had been turned gray. Some said they planned to return to the campus to mourn him. Many of those still on campus voluntarily joined preparations for a mourning (哀悼) service that will begin at the university on Saturday.The university has set up two mourning halls at two of its campuses and publicized the mourning time and phone numbers at the two sites.Qian was born in Wuxi, Jiangsu, in 1912. Although he was initially not good at science, he chose to study physics at Tsinghua University because he believed science and technology were the keys to strengthening China in the 1930s. He graduated from Tsinghua in 1935, and earned his PhD in applied mathematics from the University of Toronto in Canada in 1942. He returned to China in 1946 and became a mechanics professor and later vice-president at Tsinghua University.Qian made great contributions to the engineering applications of sciences, such as the fluttering of airplanes, armor penetration, the design of instruments and pipe systems. He is an academician (院士) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.49. Qian Weichang used to work at _.A. Tsinghua University and Peking UniversityB. Shanghai University and Toronto UniversityC.

The passage tells us that _ made Qian Weichang aim at science in his university time.A. his talents at study B. his failures at scienceC. the familys expectation D. his love to the country52. What is the best title of this passage?A. Respected Scientist Passes on at 98 B. The Great Life of the Scientist-Qian WeichangC. The Whole Nation Mourn Qian WeichangD. A 98-year Old Man Passed in ShanghaiDEven plant can run a fever, especially when theyre under attack by insects or disease. But unlike human, plants can have their temperature taken from 3, 000 feet away straight up. A decade ago, adopting the infrared （红外线）scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide （杀虫剂）spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which invariably includes plants that dont have pest （害虫）problems.Even better, Paleys Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3, 000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a color-coded map showing where plants were running “fevers”. Farmers could then spot-spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.The bad news is that Paleys company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and long - term backers were hard to find. But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works. “This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States, ” says George Oerther of Texas A & M. Ray Jackson , who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. But only if Paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.53Plants will emit an increased amount of heat when they are_.A. sprayed with pesticides B. facing an infrared scannerC. in poor physical condition D. exposed to excessive sun rays54Farmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide by_.A. resorting to spot-spraying B. consulting infrared scanning expertsC. transforming poisoned rain D. detecting crop problems at an early stage55The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties _A. the lack of official support B. its high costC. the lack of financial support D. its failure to help increase production56Infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of_. A. the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produce B. growing concern about the excessive use of pesticides on crops C. the forceful promotion by the Department of Agriculture D. full support from agricultural experts ESkinner Creek ESL Guest Ranch offers a unique outdoor adventure camp for international
