My husband got dressed and 36 that he was going outside to build a giant snowman. At first he stood alone, 37 massive amounts of snow. Soon after a neighbor joined in. Then we reluctantly put on our snow gear（工具） and 38 outside. It wasnt long 39 we were smiling and enjoying the 40 of snow that Mother Nature had provided. Others came to our yard one by one to give a 41 in the making of our giant snowman. In the end we all stood back and 42 at what we had created. He was eleven feet high, twenty-five feet around at the base and 43 with many household items supplied by various 44 . People drove by and smiled. Some even stopped just to enjoy his 45 . With the passing of time, the spring made its 46 back into our yard and the snowman changed form 47 . In a final effort to save what we created for just a little bit 48 _, somebody stopped by and changed the snowmans 49 to look like a rabbit. As I prepared for the start of another week, I decided to 50 my email before going to bed. I found a 51 message that contained the subject line: 52 the snowman. The email said: your neighbor looks on in disbelief! Now you people are relishing ( 享受) the sounds and smells, along with 53 of spring.

Whats the best title of the article?A. Love Your Life B. Your life is good C. Life is full of cheat D. Life is poor57.What does “mean” mean in the first paragraph?A. 小气的 B. 卑劣的 C. 害羞的 D. 自私的58.No matter what happens, you should_.A.complain about your life B. love your lifeC.fear your life D. argue about life59.What do you think of the author?A.He is a rich person. B. He is a person who likes to find mistakes about others.C.He is content with his life and full of thoughts.D.He is a person who likes to make friends.60.If you are poor, what should you do according to the article?A. I should complain with everyone about it.B. I should be satisfied with it and never hope to be rich.C. I should learn from the rich and get money by whatever means.D. I should keep my thoughts and enjoy my life. BWhether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human beings heart the lure（诱惑） of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of whats next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long are you young. An individual human existence should be like a riversmall at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately （激情地）past boulders（冰砾） and over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede（退却）, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being. Youth means a temperamental predominance（优势） of courage over timidity,of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease.This often exists in a man of sixty more than a boy of twenty.Nobody grows old merely by a number of years.We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin,but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust. Life is hard. We should not give up hope. By the time we have given up, we are finished. Chances are always there. We have to grab every single opportunityto help, to love and to serve. To live our life happier, full of joy, we have to set our goal and even dream big. If we choose the shortest path in life, we will never learn. To be or not to be, we have to be SOMEBODY. The fastest way to gain love is to love others first!Do not hide your talent, your knowledge and your beautiful heart. Go for your dream and live for it 61. What is the purpose of the authour of the passage？ A. to encourage all the people B. to discourage the youthC. to wirte for the old D. to write for the dead62. What is the mark of the youth?

What does the word “merged” mean in the passage? A. appeared B. confused C. melted D. worried 64. What do you think of the authour?. A.He is a man full of love and energy B.He is a man of courage, fear, worry. C.He is a man of active opinions in everything D.He is an old man with disappointment. 65.What makes a person grow old?A. Ages B. Deserting ideals C.Happiness D.Joy CIf your life feels like it is lacking the power that you want and the motivation that you need, sometimes all you have to do is shift your point of view. By training your thoughts to concentrate on the bright side of things, you are more likely to have the incentive（刺激，诱因） to follow through on your goals. You are less likely to be held back by negative ideas that might limit your performance. Your life can be enhanced（增强的）, and your happiness enriched, when you choose to change your perspective（远景、希望）. Dont leave your future to chance, or wait for things to get better mysteriously on their own. You must go in the direction of your hopes and aspirations. Begin to build your confidence, and work through problems rather than avoid them. Remember that power is not necessarily control over situations, but the ability to deal with whatever comes your way. Always believe that good things are possible, and remember that mistakes can be lessons that lead to discoveries. Take your fear and transform（转变成） it into trust; learn to rise above anxiety and doubt. Turn your worry hours into productive hours. Take the energy that you have wasted and direct it toward every worthwhile effort that you can be involved in. You will see beautiful things happen when you allow yourself to experience the joys of life. You will find happiness when you adopt positive thinking into your daily routine and make it an important part of your world. 66. What is the best title for the passage？ A.

We should be glad to accept them and train your thoughts to concentrate on the bright side of difficulties.D. We should change our dreams and goals. D Edward Wilson is Americas, if not the worlds, leading naturalist. In The Future of Life, he takes us on a tour of the worlds natural resources(资源). How are they used? What has been lost? What remains and is it able to continue with the present speed of use? Wilson also points out the need to understand fully the biodiversity(生物多样性)of our earth. Wilson begins with an open letter to the pioneer in environment (环境) protection, Henry David Thoreau. He compares todays Walden Pond with that of Thoreaus day. Wilson will use such comparisons for the rest of the book. The problem is clear: man has done great damage to his home over the years. The earth, with human help, is made to return to biodiversity levels that will be able to support us in the future? Biodiversity, Wilson argues, is the key to settling many problems the earth faces today. Even our agricultural crops can gain advantages from it. A mere hundred species(物种) are the basis of our food supply, of which but twenty carry the load. Wilson suggests changing this situation by looking into ten thousand species that could be made use of, which will be a way to reduce the clearing of the natural homes of plants and animals to enlarge farming areas.At the end of the book, Wilson discusses the importance of human values in considering the environment. If you are to continue to live on the earth, you may as well read and act on the ideas in this book.71. What is the purpose of writing the book？ A.To call people on to protect the environment. B.To explore the nature. C. To make good use of the natural resourse. D. To call on the people to explore, make good use of and protect the earth.72. We learn from the text that Wilson cares most about _A. the environment for plantsB. the biodiversity of our earthC. the wastes of natural resourcesD. the importance of human values73. How many species are most important to our present food supply?A. Twenty. B. Eighty. C. One hundred D. Ten thousand.74. Wilson suggests that one way to keep biodiversity is to _.A. learn how to farm scientifically B. build homes for some dying speciesC. make it clear what to eatD. use more species for food75. We can infer that the text is _A. a description of natural resources B. a research reportC. a book review D. an introduction to a scientist.第卷（共45分）第四部分：书面表达（共两节，满分45分）第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）People visit other countries for many reasonsSome travel on business；others travel to visit interesting places that are only found in other countries，such as the Taj Mahal in India，or the temples of ThailandWherever you go，and for whatever reason，it is important to be safe，A tourist can attract a lot of attention from local peopleWhile the majority of people you will meet when traveling are sure to be friendly and welcoming，there are dangers-theft being the most commonJust as in your home country，do not expect everyone you meet to be friendly and helpfulIt is important to prepare for your trip in advance，and to take precautions（预防措施）while you are travelingAs you prepare for your trip，make sure you have the right paperworkYou dont want to get to your destination only to find you have the wrong visa，or worse，that your passport is about to expireAlso，make sure you travel with proper medical insurance，so that if _ during your travels，you will be able to get treatmentIf you want to drive while you are abroad，make sure you have an international drivers licenseBuy a guidebook and read about the local customs of the country you are going toAlso，try to learn a few basic words and phrases- dont assume that the local people will speak your languageWhen you get to your destination use official transportAlways go to bus and taxi stands；dont accept rides from strangers who offer you a liftIf there is no meter in the taxi，agree on a price before you get inIf you prefer to stay in cheap hotels while traveling，make sure you can lock the door of your room from the insideIf you are traveling with valuables such as jewelry，or a lot of cash，you should ask about a safe for storing them inFinally，remember to smileSmiling is the friendliest and most sincere form of communication，and is sure to be understood in any part of the world!76Try to give the passage a proper title（within 10 words）77Please fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with a proper sentence（within 10 words）78Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the follow
