I was very 37 to earn my own pocket money and my parents 38 interfered(干涉) with how I spent it, even when I was spending it 39 . They believed that by earning money, spending it, and learning from the 40 , I would become more mature(成熟) and 41 about how to handle work, relationships with others, and money.Like many 42 parents, my parents also let me and my brothers do things over which they 43 a great deal. When I was sixteen, for example, after I finished high school and before I entered university, I wanted to spend the summer months traveling around 44 . My mother was against the idea of my traveling alone at such a young age, but my father felt that it would be a great 45 for me. In the end, my father won the 46 on the condition that I limited my traveling to France, my mothers home, where I had many uncles, aunts and cousins 47 through the country who could 48 shelter and help if I need them.Three years later, my younger brother decide to 49 a year off after his first year in university and travel through the United States and the Caribbean. Again my mother was very worried and not 50 to see my brother leave school, but my father encouraged him and my brother had a(n) 51 year working his way on trains and ships to 52 passage to different ports and cities, and discovering many fascinating places and people.These kinds of experiences are probably rare(稀少的) for children in many countries but in the US they are fairly 53 . Most parents start 54 their children at a young age to do small things by themselves. By the time they have finished high school, many American kids have already had part-time jobs, traveled around the US or other countries on their own, have 55 the university they plan to attend and maybe even decided on their future career, and so on.36AtaughtBallowedCtreatedDhired37AanxiousBcontentCproudDhopeful38AneverBeverCalwaysDeven39AquicklyBfoolishlyCseriouslyDhonesty40AworkBmistakesCothersDbooks41AstrictBreasonableCpoliteDresponsible42AAmericanBJapaneseCChineseDBritish43AhelpedBsupportedCsharedDworried44AAsiaBAfricaCEuropeDOceania45AjourneyBexperienceCchanceDpossibility46AargumentBgameCdiscussionDplan47Asend outBgive outCcarry outDspread out48ApromiseBaffordCprovideDserve49AleaveBmakeCtakeDprepare50AangryBeagerCsorryDsad51AunusualBhardCstrangeDbusy52AacceptBearnCfindDsearch53AwelcomeBfitCnecessaryDcommon54AbringingBforcingCpushingDprotecting55AselectedBadmiredCaffordedDLeft三、阅读理解（共15小题，每题2分，满分30分）AParis in the springtime was , is and always will be , something rather special .

Your whole body feels tight. The slightest move makes you jump with pain. Nothing could be worse than a pain in the neck.That is why we use phrase to describe some people who give you the same feeling. We have all met such people.One is the man who always seems to be clapping his handsoften at the wrong timeduring a performance in the theater. He keeps you from hearing the actors.Even worse are those who can never arrive before the curtain goes up and play begins. They come hurrying down to your row of seats. You are comfortably settled down, with your hat and heavy coat in your lap. You must stand up to ;et them pass. You are proud of your selfcontrol after they have settled into their seatsWell, what nowGood God, one of them is up again. He forgot to go to the mens room, and once more you have to stand up, hanging on to your hat and coat to let him pass. Now, that is “a pain in the neck.”Another, wellknown to us all, is the person sitting behind you in the movies. His mouth is full of popcorn; he is chewing loudly, or talking between bites to friends next to him. None of them remain still. Up and down, back and forth, they gofor another bag of popcorn, or something to drink.Then, there is the main sitting next to you at a lunch counter smoking a smelly cigar. He wants you to enjoy it too, and blows smoke across you food into your mouth.We must not forget the man who comes into a bus or subway car and sits down next to you, just as close as you will let him. You are reading the newspaper and he leans over and stretches his rock so that he can read the paper with you. He may even turn the paper to the next page before you are ready for it.We also call such a person a “rubber neck,” always stretching his neck to where it does not belong, like neighbors who watch all your visitors. They enjoy invading your privacy. People have a strong dislike for rubbernecks. They hate being spied upon.60. Where can you find this passage?A. Medicine dictionaries.B. Social science books.C.

The miners were equipped with about one hour of breathable oxygen each. The company has not released the names of the miners.The teams test the air about every 500 feet, and have to disconnect (remove) the power to the phones they use to communicate with the surface before doing that. “ We dont want to be energizing anything if its in an atmosphere with burnable gases,” Kips said.The cause of the explosion was not immediately known. High levels of carbon monoxide were detected shortly after the explosion, which delayed rescue efforts, but those levels have since subsided（减退）, authorities said.64. According to the passage, we can infer that _.A. all the miners who were trapped underground were still aliveB. communication with the trapped miners was cut offC. the two rescue teams entered the mine at the same timeD. the rescue started as soon as the accident happened65. If the first team advanced at an average speed, they could dig about _ per hour.A. 1,000 feetB. 2,400 feetC. 1,200feetD. 4,800feet66. Where can the passage be seen?A. In a magazine.B. In a newspaper. C. In a science book. D. On an advertisement.67. Which of the following shows the position where the miners were trapped?EDHow Do Animals Catch Their ZZZs?Different creatures have developed some pretty creative ways to get their rest and stay safe. The lizard（蜥蝎）likes to sleep at the far end of small branches hanging out over a pond or lake in the rain forest. If a snake tries to slither up the branch to eat it, it will shake the branch and knock the lizard off, and the lizard will fall safely into the water. Chameleons can change color to match their surroundings in order to hide even while sleeping.Corillas（大猩猩）like to sleep high in the trees. They build a new bed every night, sometimes taking up to half an hour to pile branches, twigs, and leaves into a comfortable bed. Birds also find it safe to sleep in the trees, but unless they have eggs or young chicks, they dont use a nest. They just lock their feet around a branch and hang on. A special tendon（腱）in their legs in automatically tight when they are at rest, so they wont let go and fall.Dolphins live underwater, but must come to the surface to breather. Scientists now believe that dolphins may sleep with only half their brain, while the other half stays awake to keep them safe and breathing. Seals also do this, lying on their sides on the surface of the water with one flipper underwater paddling to keep their noses above the surface. Some ducks may also have this ability, and actually sleep with one eye closed and one eye open.68. How does a chameleon protect itself while sleeping?A. By changing its body colors.B. By hinging out over a pond.C. By sleeping with half their brain.D. By making beds with branches.69. Why will not birds fall when they are at rest?A. They build nests and sleep in them. B.They fall asleep automatically.C. They have a loose tendon in their legs D.They lock their feet around a branch.70. What does the writer intend to tell us? A. The cleverest animal is the gorilla because it can make beds.B. Differences in habitat could lead to different living habits.C. The ways animals catch their ZZZs are pretty much he same .D. In order to protect themselves most animals choose not to sleep.第II 卷（共35分）四、任务型阅读（共10小题； 每小题1分， 满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格中填入最适当的单词。 每空格1个单词，不得用文章中的单词。 Most scientists are now certain that global warming is taking place. Gases such as carbon dioxide produced by burning of coal, oil, wood, together with industrial pollution, are creating a warm blanket around the earth. This blanket is trapping heat in the atmosphere and so raising the temperature of the earth. The evidence for global warming can now be seen in the worlds changing climate statistics. In Europe, eight of the last ten years have seen record high temperature. For northern Europe, this has generally been a change for the better. Gardens can even now grow tropical plants in England, though London may never see a “White Christmas” again. On the other hand, the countries around the Mediterranean Sea, and those south of the Sahara desert are receiving even less rain than before. In sub-Saharan Africa the crops are drying out in the fields and people are dying of starvation. In the Americas, the climate is becoming more extreme -the summers are getting hotter and the storms are becoming more violent. In 1999 the southern United States was struck b
