Our 36 have done a lot for us, directly or indirectly and most of us 37 everything to their kindness and love.When we 38 them respect, whether it is by bowing to them, or 39 them with a smile, or offering them any help they need, it is one way of 40 our own love and gratitude to them. 41 , elders have also been through all the years you are 42 and know a little more about the world than you do. It is 43 that you do not agree with the belief of your elders, but this is nothing new. All younger generations have always 44 with their elders and it is these differences that bring changes in human 45 . However much you disagree with them, give them credit for their 46 . With changing times and 47 influences, youngsters no longer know what is interpreted as disrespect to elders. Youngsters should 48 express their views and if there are arguments, they should not 49 their voices.If there is no space on sofas or chairs, children will immediately 50 their places, and sit on the carpet. In buses and trains, youngsters are 51 to give up their places to older people. This is not a 52 of who has more rights. It is simply that those who are younger have the strength to bear 53 , or tolerate unpleasantness, so it is natural to show consideration to those who are older and perhaps at a 54 disadvantage.When you do simple things as a mark of respect, elders become 55 that youngsters care for them, and they respond with affection and kindness.36.

Pollys son, Jim, had great difficulty in school. He was classified as the educationally handicapped and required a great deal of patience on the part of his parents and teachers. But Jim was a happy kid with a great smile that lit up the room. His parents knew his difficulties, but they always tried to help him see his strengths so that he could walk with pride. Shortly after Jim finished high school, he was killed in a motorcycle accident. After his death, his mother submitted this letter to the newspaper. “Today we buried our 20-year-old son. He was killed in a motorcycle accident on Friday night. How I wish I had known that the last time I had talked to him would be the last time. If I had only known that, I would have said to him, Jim, I love you and Im always so proud of you. I would have taken the time to count the many blessings he had brought to the lives of the people who loved him. I would have taken the time to appreciate his beautiful smile, his laughter, and his genuine love to other people. “When I put all the good things on the scale and try to balance them with all the irritating (恼人的) things such as the radio that was always too loud, the haircut that wasnt to our liking, the dirty socks under the bed, etc., I find that the irritations really dont amount to much. “I wont get another chance to tell my son all that I would have wanted him to hear, but, other parents, do have a chance. Tell your young people what you would want them to hear as if it may be your last conversation. The last time I talked to Jim was the morning of the day when he died. He called me to say, Hi, Mom! I just called to say I love you. You have to go to work now. Bye. That day, he gave me something to treasure forever. ”If there is any purpose at all for Jims death, maybe it is to make others appreciate life more and to tell people, especially family members, that they should take the time to let each other know just how much they care. You may never have another chance. Do it today!56. Who was Jim?A. A school boy.B. The writer.C. The president of a school board.D. An official of a school.57.

According to the writer, which of the following about Jim is TRUE？A. He was always sad about his school marks.B. His parents always scolded him about his bad school marks.C.

He was a lovely boy with a beautiful smile who always loved others.B. He was physically sick but always happy.C. He was an irritating boy with some bad habits.D. He seldom expressed his love for his parents.60. The purpose of Pollys letter is to .A. memorize her sonB. teach parents to appreciate their childrenC. teach children how to be good boysD. give some advice on how to deal with childrens problemsBWhile IQ (Intelligence Quotient) tells you how smart you are. EQ (Emotional Quotient) tells you how well you use your smartness. Professor Salovery, the psychologist who created the term, EQ, says that it is IQ that gets you hired but it is EQ that gets you promoted. Supported by his research, he suggested that when predicting future successes, a persons brainpower, as measured by IQ tests, might actually matter less than a persons character, or EQ. Professor Salovery may be correct. For example, have you ever wondered why some of the best and smartest students in your class end up failing exams? Perhaps it is because of their EQ. People often make the mistake of thinking that EQ is the opposite of IQ. It is not. Although it is hoped that people have both high EQs and IQs, there is little doubt that those with low EQs have a hard time surviving in life. For a long time, researchers discussed if a persons IQ could be raised. The geneticists said no, while the social scientists said yes. Furthermore, the social scientists said that it was possible to improve a persons EQ, particularly in terms of “people skills”, such as understanding and communication. Recently, a professor released the findings of a study on senior high school students. When some normal students were introduced to some disabled students, they found that afterwards they were more willing to help people in difficulties. At the same time, there was a marked change in the disabled students attitudes. They became more positive about their disabilities and were more eager to try new things. People with high EQs often have positive attitudes towards life and are open to different ideas, so they tend to be more creative in their thinking. Please remember that having a high IQ is helpful but having a high EQ might even be more helpful.61. According to Professor Salovery, what factor matters the most in predicting whether a person will be successful or not?A. How a person tests his / her brainpower.B. A persons character. C. How smart a person is. D. A persons IQ.62. The second paragraph tells us that . A. people who have a high IQ always have a high EQB. EQ is the opposite of IQC. people who have a low EQ tend to have a hard lifeD. people who have a high EQ always have a high IQ 63. What did the professor find from his study of normal students being introduced to some disabled children?A. Students with disabilities were not open in trying new things.B. There was no change in the normal students.C. The disabled students became more positive and more eager to try new things.D. The disabled students were more willing to help others.64. Which of the following is the writers attitude toward EQ and IQ?A. IQ is more helpful to people than EQ.B. IQ can be raised by understanding and communication.C. EQ can get people hired.D. A high EQ is of great benefit in getting people promoted.65. Which of the following would be the best title of this passage?A. A persons brainpower.B. IQ, EQ and success.C. IQ and a persons character.D. A persons IQ and EQ. CHave you ever heard of blogs (博客)? If you havent, you should have. Its here, its growing and its having an influence on our life. Surf the Internet and youll find blogs everywhere. A blog, shortened from “weblog”, is a public Internet journal written by one person or a group of people. It is a website in which a person or a group can place news, personal thoughts, text, photos, video or audio files, or links upon which visitors can comment. A blog lets you post on the Internet without having to know web design or be technical. You are given an environment to make dated entries on the topic of your choice which are “published”, so other people can read them. Authoring a blog, maintaining a blog or adding an article to an existing blog is called “blogging”. Blogging has revolutionized Internet publishing in the last several years because it gives everyone with Internet access the opportunity to become an online writer. Objects, such as “text and photos” in a blog can be called “blog posts”, “posts”, or “entries”. The person who posts these entries is called a “blogger”.Now, somewhere around the world, a blog is created almost every 6 seconds.

They may follow game inland for several hundred miles, but they always return to the shores of rivers, lakes, or seas. Eskimo land has a bare look. Large rocks, pebbles, and sand cover much of the surface. Plants called lichen (地衣) grow on the rocks, and where there is enough soil, grass, flowers, and even small bushes manage to live. No trees can grow on Eskimo land, so geographers sometimes call it the Arctic plains. There are some animals in Eskimo land, such as rabbits, which eat the plants. Other animals, like the white fox and the gray wolf, eat the rabbits. The Eskimo is a meat-eater, too, and may even eat a wolf when food is scarce.The Eskimo year has two main parts: a long, cold winter and a short, cool summer. Spring and fall are almost too short to be noticed. Summer is the best time, as food is usually plentiful. But it is also the time when Eskimos are very busy. Winter is never far away, and the men must bring home extra meat for the women to prepare and store, for seldom can enough animals be killed in winter to feed a family.The Far North is sometimes called the land of the midnight sun. This is true in the middle of summer, for between April 21st and August 21st the sun never sets in Northern Greenland. But in midwinter the Far North is a land with no sunshine at all. Around Oct. 21st the Eskimos of Northern Greenland see the sun set directly south of them, and they dont see it again until February 22nd. All places on earth get about the same amount of daylight during a year. As a result, if summer is lighter, winter has to be darker. Winter nights in the Far North are seldom pitch-black. As in the rest of the world, the stars and moon provide a little light. The northern lights also help the Eskimo to see. And with the ground covered with snow, even a little light is reflected back to the Eskimos eyes. 71. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. Eskimos do not usually eat wolves. B. Eskimos like to chase one another. C. Eskimos depend heavily on water. D. Eskimos are meat-eaters.72. In the Eskimo year, _. A. there is no spring and fall B. winter is cold and summer is hot C. summer is a time for growing food D. winter comes early and goes late73. Whats the meaning of the underlined words “pitch-black” in Paragraph 4? A. Dark with a little light. B. A little dark. C. Not dark at all. D. Extremely dark.74. From the passage, we can infer all of the following EXCEPT that_. A. Eskimos are more likely to eat wolves in summer B. Eskimo women are responsible for housework C. meat is the main source of food for the Eskimo D. hunting is an important part of Eskimo life75. Why is summer lighter in the Far North? A. Because the Far North is far away from the sun. B. Because the sun is not seen for five months of the year. C. Because the sun never sets in midsummer. D. Because people see the sun set directly south of them.第四部分 写作（共两节，满分45分）第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面的短文，并根据文章后的题目要求回答76-80小题。Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family.The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the mansions guest room.
