The reason had nothing to do with my math 36 . I was blind. The school decided that it would be better for me to 37 at a lower level because it took me a great deal longer to 38 the homework.The only problem in this class was that I was surrounded by 39 students. These were boys who didnt do well in school. Their home life was 40 different from mine, and they were constantly （经常地） in trouble 41 the school.I remember sitting at my desk one morning, 42 what I had gotten into. We had already finished our lesson for the day, and 43 of the boys began to talk about what they had done at the past weekend. I tried not to 44 , but it was really impossible not to. 45 the teacher was in the room, that didnt stop my classmates from 46 the parties they had been to, and how drunk they had been.One Tuesday morning, I went to a 47 . There was a speaker talking to us about 48 for our enemies. I began to think about this and prayed for （为祈祷）the boys in my class. I had forgotten that they werent good boys; they were just 49 .When I heard their voices in class, I would pray, “Dear God, please 50”As time went on, my classmates became more than just 51 boys to me. There was something growing inside my heart, something that wasnt there before. They began to feel like 52 , and I was learning to love them in a way I never thought possible.I now see that praying is such a 53 act. When I pray for those around me, it also blesses my 54 , and it changes my ideas of others. I realize I need Gods blessings to 55 the world through my loving eyes. The prayers I said for others turned out to help me the most.36AskillsBresearchCproblemsDknowledge37AplayBlearnCteachDprogress38AcopyBgo overCshareDfinish39AwiseBfoolishCnaughtyDfriendly40AclearlyBhardlyConlyDterribly41AinBofConDwith42AdoubtingBplanningCwonderingDimagining43Athe restBthe otherCallDnone44AconsiderBlistenCcryDappear45AEven thoughBWhenCNo matterDAs though46AcelebratingBdiscussingCjoiningDthrowing47ApartyBshopCmeetingDclub48Ascolding（指责）BpraisingCworkingDpraying49AlostBmissingCgoneDdisappointed50ApunishBblessCofferDsave51Awarm-heartedBhumorousCtroublesomeDsimple-minded52Aa teamBstrangersCbrothersDa family53ApowerfulBfoolishCstrongDromantic（浪漫）54AlearningBmathClifeDmind55AtouchBseeCfeelDforget第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）AA man from Sri Lanka on Friday broke the Guinness world record for the longest time spent watching TV. He finished with 69 hours and 48 minutes.Suresh Joachim did his TV viewing in the lobby of WABC-TV as part of the “Guinness World Record Breaker Week ” on the TV talk show “Live With Regis and Kelly”.After passing the previous record of 50 hours and 7 minutes Thursday, Joachim continued until about 7 am Friday.Sitting on a brown leather couch, he watched nothing but ABC shows.“Im going to be a little tired of watching TV after this,” Joachim told reporters by phone during a brief break.Rules of Guinness for the couch potato honor, allow for a five-minute break every hour and a 15-minute break every eight hours. The viewer must be constantly looking at the screen.The hardest part, Joachim said on Live With Regis and Kelly, was “I couldnt watch the people” the many, waving passers-by on the street outside the ABC studio.Joachim, who lives in Toronto but comes from Sri Lanka, now holds more than 16 Guinness records, including the longest duration balancing on one foot (76 hours, 40 minutes) and bowling for 100 hours. He does it, he says, to raise awareness of suffering children.56Which paragraph shows the main idea of the passage?AThe first paragraph.BThe last paragraph.CThe second paragraph.DThe sixth paragraph.57How many days had Joachim spent when the newcouch potatorecord was made?AOne week.BTwo days.CFour days.DNearly three days.58Which of the following phrases can replace the underlined word “constantly”?AAll the time.BAt times.CSome time.DOnce upon a time.59Whats the biggest challenge for Joachim when he did his TV viewing?AThat Joachim could eat nothing.BThat Joachim couldnt watch the people outside the ABC studio.CThat Joachim felt very tired.DThat Joachim didnt have any time for a break.BReading is very important to help you learn English. To learn as much as you can from reading, you need to read different kinds of English. This book provides not only different kinds of English but also a good way to check your reading ability.There are four parts in the book:Part 1 is Messages: In this part somebody wants to send information in writing to somebody else. There is a test on timetables and a test on text messages.Part 2 is People: In this part all the tests are about people. For example, there is an informal letter between friends. There is formal English in biography （传记）. There is a job application（申请表） as a model to help with your writing, as well as testing your reading.Part 3 is Places: In this part, too, many different kinds of English are shown, some informal and some formal. There is the informal English of a holiday postcard. There is also the formal English in a letter of complaint（抱怨）.Part 4 is Things: You will find some descriptive writing in this part. There are descriptions of clothes and of a computer.You can do these tests in any order you like, or you can do all the tests with a formal or informal text.I enjoyed writing this book and I hope you enjoy using it.60We can find the introduction to a product in .APart 1BPart 2CPart 3DPart 461Which of the following is most probably written in informal English?AA letter of complaint.BA computer hand book.CA letter to a friend.DA story of president.62The passage is most probably written for .Atest-designersBstudentsCtest-takersDteachers63Which of the following is the best title for the book?ATest your reading abilityBHelp with your writingCLearn different kinds of EnglishDPractice English in different waysCLooking back on my childhood, I believe that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were all brought up in the same way, my brothers and my sisters soon gave up their flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic （算术）.Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim（暗淡的） memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal（水晶）clear memory of the dogs, farm animals, local birds, and above all, insects.I am a naturalist, nor a scientist. I have a strong love for the natural world and my enthusiasm （热情） has led me into varied investigations （调查）. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil reading about other peoples observations and discoveries. Then something brings these observations together in my mind. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books.But curiosity（好奇心）, a keen （敏锐的）eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist. A scientist, up to a point, can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.64The first paragraph tells us the writer .Awas interested in flowers and insects in his childhoodBlost his hearing when he was a childCdidnt like his brothers and sistersDwas born into a naturalists family65The writer cant clearly remember his relatives probably because .Ahe didnt live very long with themBthe family was very largeChe was too young when he lived with themDhe devoted himself to observing nature66It can be inferred from the passage that the writer was .Aa scientist as well as a naturalistBnot a naturalist but a scientistConly a born naturalistDfirst of all a scientist67According to the writer, a born naturalist should first of all be .Agood at mathsBfull of enthusiasmCknowledgeableDself-disciplined（自我约束）DTo reach the worlds richest country, you dont need to set out for the Middle East, but for the South Pacific, to a tiny dot just south of the equator, called Nauru. Only 8.2 square miles in size, the whole of this county can be seen form the air as the plane comes into land. The blue South Pacific Ocean reaches for thousands of miles in all directions, the nearest piece of land Ocean Island 200 miles to the east.Nauru is so small that the plane lands in what is best regarded as the capitals main street. The seaward side of the runway has traffic lights at each end to stop cars when planes are landing. The tiny bus station outside the airport is crowded with well-fed and brightly clothed Naurans with their modern cars.With Naurans now getting an average of $44,500 a year, the islands 60,000 people seem to have little to worry about. A trip to the islands central hump （隆峰） tells a slightly different story.The hump with a great deal of phosphate （磷酸盐） round is Naurus wealth. When Nauru gained freedom from the British government in 1968, about 40 million tons of the earliest 100 million tons of phosphate were left. Since it has taken out another 10 million tons, the rest is only enough for another 20-25 years.68The best title for the passage should be .AWealth and population of NauruBThe most beautiful country in the worldCA small island surrounded by the South Pacific OceanDA small but rich island country69It can be inferred from the passage that .ANauru has not build a runway in the airport yetBNauru is not large enough to build a runway of the planeCthe Naurans are not rich enough to build a runway of the planeDno cars run on the main street70From the last sentence of the passage we can learn that the writer wants to tell us .Awhy Naurans are so richBsomething more about NauruCsomething for Naurans to worry aboutDhow the British robbed Nauru of their wealth71How many tons of phosphate will probably be taken out in Nauru per year?A2,000,000 to 2,500,000 tons.B2,800,000 to 3,500,000 tons.C1,200,000 to 1,500,000 tons.D400,000 to 500,000 tons.EPets are no strangers to the White House. Many of Americas Presidents have been animal lovers. In recent times, White House pets have been tame （温顺的） dogs and cats. Long ago, however, presidential pets, like our nation itself, were wild!In 1806, President Thomas Jefferson lived in the White House. Passersby often caught sight of his pet bears. Explorers had discovered these fierce （凶猛的）bears, caught a pair of small ones, and sent them to Jefferson. While the President was excited about his bears, his enemies in Congress constantly laughed at his pets, calling the White House “The Presidents Bear Garden”.By 1825, the bears were long gone from the White House scene. The building was home to President John Quincy Adams and his crocodile （鳄鱼）. The green beast actually belonged to General Lafayette, a French hero who had helped the United States win the Revolutionary War. When Lafayette asked Adams to keep the crocodile for him, the President couldnt refuse.When President Martin Van Buren moved into the White House in 1837, he brought his tigers with him. At least, Van Buren said the tigers were his. The Sultan of Oman had sent the tigers when Van Buren was elected, so Congress argued（争辩说）that the cats belonged to the American people. A fight over the tigers continued for months. In the end, Congress sent someone to seize the tigers and put them in a zoo.Twenty years later, President James Buchanan received another valuable gift when he was in his first year in the White House. This time the King of Siam sent several elephants! Buchanan had no desire to share his building with the big creatures, so he sent them to the zoo. Buchanan did, however, keep another gift a pair of birds. They were a fitting symbol of presidential power.72According to the passage, we can infer that .Athe pets the Presidents raised were all huge onesBthe pets the presidents owned were all their favorite ones.Cthe Presidents kept the pets not only at home but in the zooDthe Presidents pets were not only cared about by their families73How did the Presidents mentioned get their unusual pets?AThey got them in the forest.BThey bought them at the market.CThe pets were given to them by others.DTheir family members offered them the pets.74What similar political effect did Jeffersons bears and Van Burens tigers have?AThe pets made them happy and gay.BIt took them too much time to look after them.CIt made people believe that they were animal lovers.DIt brought about dissatisfaction with them in Congress.75When did President James Buchanan get elephants?A1825.B1826.C1845.D1857.单词拼写：（10分）76Let me finish it.
