Set, Go!” I rushed out of there like an airplane, 24 I was determined to finish first. As we came around the 25 of the four laps, there were students all over the 26 . By the time I started the third lap, only a few of my classmates were left on the track, and I began limping (蹒跚前行). When I was running the fourth lap, I was 27 . Then I realized that nobody had given up, 28 ,everyone had already finished. As I ran that last lap, I 29 .

Manuel! You finished, son!” He looked at me 33 , waving a piece of paper in his hand. It was my goal for the day. He read it in a 34 voice to everyone. It simply said, “I, Manuel Diotte, will 35 the mile run tomorrow, come what may. No pain or defeat will 36 me. For I am sure to make it, and with God as my strength, I 37 finish.” My face 38 .

And their thin little sandals (凉鞋) were also covered with snow.“Come in and Ill make you a cup of hot cocoa.”There was no conversation. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and toast with jam to strengthen them against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started again on my household.The silence in the front room got me to look inside. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich?”“Am I rich? Mercy, no! ”I looked at my shabby sofa. The girl put her cup back in its saucer (茶杯托，茶碟) carefully.“Your cups match your saucers.”Her voice was old, which made me think she had been hungry for months. They left then, holding their bundles of papers against the wind. They hadnt said thank you. They didnt need to. They had done more than that. Plain blue cups and saucers. But they matched.I tasted the potatoes and looked at the meat. Potatoes and meat, a roof over our heads, my man with a good steady job these things matched, too.I moved the chairs back from the fire and tidied the living room. The muddy prints of small sandals were still wet upon my floor. I let them be. I want them there in case I ever forget again how very rich I am.41The author let the two children in . Ato offer them some warm clothesBto serve them some cocoa and foodCto sell them some old paperDto show off her matched cups and saucers42We can learn from the passage .

The greater part of such damage and loss of life has been due to downfall of buildings and the effects of rockslides, floods, fire, disease, tsunamis (huge sea waves), and other observable events resulting from earthquakes, rather than from the quakes themselves.The great majority of all earthquakes occur in two particular areas. One such area covers the Pacific Ocean and its bordering lands. The other Extends from the East Indies to the Atlas Mountains, including the Himalayas. Iran, Turkey, and the Alpine (阿尔卑斯山) regions. It is in these two great belts or zones that ninety percent of all and where earthquakes will strike. As a result, a worldwide earthquake warning network is already in operation and has helped people to prepare for and thus cut down the damage. Otherwise it might have been totally unexpected.It is doubtful that man will ever be able to control earthquakes and get rid of their damage altogether, but as how and why earthquakes happen become better understood, man will become more and more able to deal with their possible damage before they occur.45We can infer from the passage that quakes . Amay happen anywhere at any timeBmostly happen in oceans and mountainsCare unobservable in masses of landDare hardly the direct cause of deaths46The underlined phrase “This element of the unknown” refers to . Athe extending of earthquake zonesBthe percentage of earthquake happeningsCwhen and where earthquakes may occurDwhat big damage earthquakes may cause47Mans research on earthquake forecast at present is to .

When he and his father rushed outside, a man ran from the scene. They discovered that Ann Slade, mother of three, had been stabbed (猛刺) repeatedly with a knife. She was lying in her front garden bleeding very heavily. Her hands had almost been cut off.It was Johns quick action and knowledge of first aid that saved Ms Slades life. He immediately asked a number of nearby people for bandages, but when nobody could put their hands on any, his father got some tea towels and tape from their house. John used these to dress the most severe injuries to Ms Slades hands. He slowed the bleeding by applying pressure to the wounds until the police and ambulance arrived.“Im proud of what I did but I was just doing what Id been taught.” John said.John had taken part in the Young Lifesaver Scheme at his high school. When congratulating John. Mr Alan Southerton. Director of the Young Lifesaver Scheme said, “There is no doubt that Johns quick thinking and the first aid skills be learned at school saved Ms Slades life.

Meaning is in the person, not in the word, as each person is the product of a particular culture which passes on shared and appropriate meanings. Thus, if we want to learn to communicate well in a foreign language, we must understand the culture that gives that language meaning. Culture gives meaning and provides the context for communication, and the ability to communicate allows us to act out our cultural values and to share our language and our culture.But our own native language and culture are so much a part of us that we take them for granted. When we travel to another country, its as if we carry along with our passports. We view the new environment using our own culture as the standard, and although not purposely, our ways of thinking and acting often get in the way of our understanding other languages and cultures. The ability and willingness to change lenses (视角) when we look at a different culture is both the cure and the prevention for such cultural blindness. Studying a new language provides us the opportunities to practise changing lenses when we also learn the context or the culture to which it belongs.57The main idea of the first paragraph is that .Awords are the basic building materials of communicationBwe have to study its culture before we learn a foreign languageCeach person has a different meaning when using the same wordDthe meaning of words are very much influenced by culture58The underlined word “it” in the last sentence refers to .Athe contextBthe cultureCthe languageDthe opportunity59In this passage the author mainly discusses .Athe basic building materials of communication Bthe importance of understanding a person in communicationChow to communicate well in a foreign languageDthe relationship between communication and culture60What can we learn from this passage?AYou have to forget your culture to prevent cultural blindness.BThe meanings of words are not very important in language learning.CCulture is a must for learners of foreign languages.DOne has to live in the country to learn its language well.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。选项中有两项为多余选项。（注意：请将本题答案填写在第二卷中指定位置）John : Fred, youre so dirty. 61 Fred : Oh.
