when he entered the tenth grade, he became a“vo-tech(技校)”student. theyre called“motorheads” by the rest of the student body.when a secretary in my office first called him “motorhead”, i was shocked. “hey, hes a good kid,” i wanted to say. “and smart, really.”i learned later that motorheads are, indeed, different. they usually have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothes. and they dont often make school honor rolls(光荣榜).but being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education. we, who work in clean shirts in offices, dont have the abilities that motorheads have. i began to learn this when i had my car crashed. the cost to repair it was estimated at $800. “hey, i can fix it,” said jody. i doubted it , but let him go ahead, for i had nothing to lose.my son, with other motorheads, fixed the car.they got parts(零件) from a junkyard,and ability from vo-tech classes. the cost was $25 instead of $800.since that first repair job, a broken air-conditioner, a non-functioning washer and a non-toasting toaster have been fixed. neighbors and co-workers trust their car repairs to him.these kids are happiest when doing repairs. they joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world. and their minds are bright in spite of their dirty hands and clothes.i have learned a lot from my motorhead: publishers need printers, engineers need mechanics, and architects need builders. most importantly, i have learned that fathers dont need clones in footsteps or anywhere else.my son may never make the school honor roll, but he made mine.21. what used to be the authors hope for his son?a. to avoid becoming his clone.b. to resemble him in appearance.c. to develop in a different direction.d. to reach the authors unachieved goals.22. what can we learn about the authors children?a. his daughter does better in school.b. his daughter has got a masters degree.c. his son tried hard to finish homework.d. his son couldnt write his book reports.23. in the authors eyes, motorheads are _.a. tidy and hardworking b. cheerful and smartc. lazy but bright d. relaxed but rude24. what did the author realize in the end?a. it is unwise to expect your child to follow your path.b. it is important for one to make the honor roll.c. architects play a more important role than builders.d. motorheads have greater ability than office workers. (b)grandparents answer a call as a third generation native of brownsville, texas, mildred garza never planned to move away. even when her daughter and son asked her to move to san antonio to help their children, she politely refused. only after a year of friendly discussion did ms garza finally say yes. that was four years ago. today all three generations regard the move as a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities. no statistics show the number of grandparents like garza who are moving closer to the children and grandchildren. yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend（趋势）is growing. even president obamas mother-in-law, marian robinson, has agreed to leave chicago and into the white house to help care for her granddaughters. according to a study grandparents com., 83 percent of the people said mrs. robinsons decision will influence the grandparents in the american family. two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of obamas family. “in the 1960s, we were all a little wild and couldnt get away from home far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own,” says christine crosby, publisher of grand a magazine for grandparents. “we now realize how important family is and how important it is to be near them, especially when youre raising children.”moving is not for everyone. almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices, but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead. having your grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling, but giving up the life you know may be harder.25. why was garzas move a success?a. it strengthened her family ties.b. it improved her living conditions.c. it enabled her to make more friends.d. it helped her know more new places26. what was the reaction of the public to mrs. robinsons decision?a. 17% expressed their support for it.b. few people responded sympathetically(同情地).c. 83% believed it had a bad influence.d. the majority thought it was a trend.27. what did crosby say about people in the 1960s?a. they were unsure of themselves b. they were eager to raise more children.c. they wanted to live away from their parents.d. they had little respect for their grandparents.28. what does the author suggest the grandparents do in the last paragraph?a. make decisions in the best interests of their ownb. ask their children to pay more visits to themc. sacrifice for their struggling childrend. get to know themselves better(c)whats onelectric underground7.30pm1.00am free at the cyclops theatre do you know whos playing in your area? were bringing you an exciting evening of live rock and pop music from the best local bands. are you interested in becoming a musician and getting a recording contract(合同)? if so, come early to the talk at 7.30pm by jules skye, a successful record producer. hes going to talk about how you can find the right person to produce you music.gee whizz8.30pm-10.30pm comedy at kaleidoscope come and see gee whizz perform. hes the funniest stand-up comedian on the comedy scene. this joyful show will please everyone, from the youngest to the oldest. gee whizz really knows how to make you laugh! our bar is open from 7.00pm for drinks and snacks(快餐).simons workshop5.00pm-7.30pm wednesdays at victoria stage this is a good chance for anyone who wants to learn how to do comedy. the workshop looks at every kind of comedy, and practices many different ways of making people laugh. simon is a comedian and actor who has 10 years experience of teaching comedy. his workshops are exciting and fun. an evening with simon will give you the confidence to be funny.charlotte stone8.00pm-11.00pm pizza worldfine food with beautiful jazz music; this is a great evening out. charlotte stone will perform songs from her new best-selling cd, with james pickering on the piano. the menu is italian, with excellent meat and fresh fish, pizzas and pasta(面食). book early to get a table. our bar is open all day, and serves cocktails, coffee, beer, and white wine.29. who can help you if you want to have your music produced? a. jules skye. b. gee whizz. c. charlotte stone. d. james pickering.30. at which place can people of different ages enjoy a good laugh? a. the cyclops theatre b. kaleidoscope c. victoria stage d. pizza world31. what do we know about simons workshop? a. it requires membership status. b. it lasts three hours each time. c. it is run by a comedy club. d. it is held every wednesday.32.when will charlotte stone perform her songs?a. 5.00pm-7.30pm. b. 7.30pm1.00am.c. 8.00pm-11.00pm. d. 8.30pm-10.30pm. (d)reading can be a social activity. think of the people who belong to book groups. they choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. now, the website bookc turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group. members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. bookcrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who findsit. bruce pederson, the managing director of bookcrossing, says, “the two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. bookcrossing combines both.” members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it. people who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. e-mails are then sent to the bookcrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. bruce peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home. bookcrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟). the site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries. 33. why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?a. to explain what they are.b. to introduce bookcrossing.c. to stress the importance of reading.d. to encourage readers to share their ideas.34. what does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2refer to?a. the book. b. an adventure.c.a public place. d. the identification number.35. what is the best title for the text?a. online reading: a virtual tour b. electronic books: a new trendc. a book group brings tradition back d. a website links people through books第二节 篇章结构（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文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。both men and women are living longer these days in industrialized countries. 36 in general, they can expect to live six or seven years more than men. one reason for this is biological. one important biological factor that helps women live longer is the difference in hormones between men and women. 37 between the ages of about 12 and 50, women produce hormones that are involved in fertility(生育能力). these hormones also have a positive effect on the heart and blood flow. in fact, women are less likely to have high blood pressure or to die from heart attacks. 38 they help the body defend itself against some kinds of infections. this means thatwomen generally get sick less often and less seriously than men. the common cold is a good example: women, on average, get fewer colds than men. 39 scientists are still not exactly sure how influence aging, but they believe that they do. some think that a womans body cells have a tendency(倾向) to age more slowly than a mans. others think that a mans body cells have a tendency to age more quickly. 40 a.
