She would 51 down and push my long hair out of the way, and then kiss my forehead. I dont remember when it first started 52 me-her hands pushing my hair that way, for they felt work-worn and rough 53 my young skin. Finally, one night, I shouted out at her, “Dont do that any more-your hands are too rough!” she made no 54 and left quietly. But never again did my mother do it with that familiar expression of her 55 .With the passing years, my 56 returned to that night time after time. By then I 57 my mothers hands and her goodnight kiss. Sometimes the incident seemed very 58 , sometimes far away, but always it was 59 in the back of my mind.The years have passed, and Im not a little girl any more. Mom is in her seventies, and those hands I once 60 to be so rough are still doing things for me and my family.Now, Mom no longer has Dad and lives 61 . One night on Thanksgiving Eve, I found myself 62 to her house to spend the night with her. As I slept in the bedroom of my youth, a familiar hand hesitantly ran across my face to 63 the hair from my forehead. Then a 64 , ever so gently , touched my forehead. I burst into tears.In my memory, thousands of times, I 65 the night my young voice complained. Catching Moms hand in hand, I told her how 66 I was for that night. I thought shed remember 67 I did. But Mom didnt know what I was talking about. She had already forgotten and 68 long ago.That night, I fell asleep with a new 69 for my gentle mother and her caring hands. And the guilt that I had carried around for so long was 70 to be found.51AlieBbendClookDfall52AannoyingBastonishingCdelightingDdisappointing53AalongBaboveCagainstDaside54AreplyBpromiseCrequestDagreement55ApityBsadnessCapologyDlove56AfeelingsBopinionsCspiritsDthoughts57AmissedBforgotCheldDshook58AstrangeBcloseCseriousDcommon59AstressedBchangedChiddenDexposed60AexpectedBchangedCremindedDcomplained61AyetBawayCaloneDlong62AdrawnBcarriedCmovedDstayed63AcutBwashCbrushDtake64AtearBkissCpressDhand65AreturnedBrememberedCrealizedDrecalled66AsorryBhappyCangryDnervous67AwhenBhowCwhyDas68AdisappearedBforgivenCapologizedDabandoned69AimaginationBinspirationCdecorationDappreciation70AstillBsoonCnowhereDanyhow第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。AFor Sparky, school was all but impossible. He failed every subject in the eighth grade. He flunked physics in high school, getting a grade of zero. Sparky also flunked Latin, algebra and English. He didnt do much better in sports. Although he did manage to make the schools golf team, he promptly lost the only important match of the season. There was a consolation（安慰） match; he lost that, too. Throughout his youth Sparky was awkward socially. He was not actually disliked by the other students; no one cared that much. He was astonished if a classmate ever said hello to him outside of school hours. Theres no way to tell how he might have done at dating. Sparky never once asked a girl to go out in high school. He was too afraid of being turned down. Sparky was a loser. He, his classmates.everyone knew it. So he rolled with it. Sparky had made up his mind early in life that if things were meant to work out, they would. Otherwise he would content himself with what appeared to be his inevitable mediocrity（平凡）. However, one thing was important to Sparky - drawing. He was proud of his artwork. Of course, no one else appreciated it. In his senior year of high school, he submitted some cartoons to the editors of the Yearbook. Although the cartoons were turned down., Sparky was so convinced of his ability that he decided to become an artist. After completing high school, he wrote a letter to Walt Disney Studios. He was told to send some samples of his artwork, and the subject for a cartoon was suggested. Sparky spent a great deal of time on it. Finally, the reply came from Disney Studios. He had been rejected once again. Another loss for the loser.So Sparky decided to write his own autobiography（自传） in cartoons. He described his childhood - a little boy loser and chronic underachiever. The cartoon character would soon become famous worldwide. For Sparky, the boy who had such a lack of success in school and whose work was rejected again and again, was Charles Schultz. He created the Peanuts comic strip（连环漫画） and the little cartoon character whose kite would never fly and who never succeeded in kicking a football-Charlie Brown.71From the first paragraph we can see that Sparky was in high school.

Stay where you can be seen clearly and remember to rest. Keeping a sense of humor helps tooit reduces stress and helps creative thinking.In a wide open area, make a colorful cross out of rocks to show your present position.Choking Aim to hit the top of the chair against your stomach, in the soft part below the bony upside-down V of the ribs（肋骨）. Make a sudden push against the chair. If you still cant breathe after six tries, call 911, even if you cant talk. Write the word choking somewhere nearby, and leave the line open until help arrives.Severe bleedingUse your hand or clean cotton, or paper towels, or a scarf, or any cloth you can find, and push down on the wound until the bleeding stops. But if you put a band around your leg tightly, youre going to close the vessels（血管）to the entire leg. In this way, you could lose your foot.Bear attackIf you surprise a bear, dont run away. That invites an attack. Instead, stand up and back away slowly, without looking the bear in the eyes. If it does charge at you, stick out your chest, raise your arms, and spread your legs. Shout at the bear, to frighten it. If its going to attack, lie facedown, with your handsheld firmly behind your neck. Play dead until youre sure the bear is gone.76When you see a colorful cross made of rocks in the wilderness, you know .Asomeone is bleedingBsomeone is chokingCsomeone is lostDsomeone is attacked by a bear77If you are still choking after six tries, you should .Akeep a sense of humorBcall 911 and leave the line openCuse your hand our clean cottonDlie down with your hands behind your neck78Dont tie around your bleeding leg tightly, or you could . Astop bleedingBreduce stressClose your footDcause breathlessness79The passage is mainly teaching us how to .Asurvive the emergenciesBavoid a bear attackCdeal with a chokeDfind our way C Every year in the first week of English class, some students inform me that writing is too hard. They never write, unless homework requires it. They find the writing process painful and difficult. How awful it is to be able to speak in a language, but not to write in it, especially with its rich vocabulary. Being able to speak but not write is like living in an enormous mansion and never leaving one small room. When I meet students who think they cant write, I know, as a teacher, my duty is to show them the rest of the rooms. My task is to build fluency and accuracy while providing the opportunity in any writing activity to enhance（增强）the moral and emotional development of my students.One great way to do this is by having students write in a journal in class every day.Writing ability is like strength training. Writing needs to be done just like exercise; just as muscles grow stronger with exercise, writing skills improve quickly with writing practice daily. I often see a rise in student confidence and performance after only a few weeks of journal writing.Expressing oneself in writing is one of the most important skills I teach to strengthen the whole student. When my students practice journal writing, they are practicing for their future academic, political, and emotional lives. They build skills so that some say they might write a great novel, a piece of sorely needed legislation（法规）, or the perfect love letter. That they write in their journals every day puts them a step closer to fluency, eloquence（雄辩）and command of the language.80What is the purpose of the passage?ATo encourage students to keep a journal every day.BTo analyze students problems in learning languages.CTo stress the importance of writing in language learning.DTo introduce an effective way of improving students writing.81The underlined phrase “an enormous mansion” in Paragraph 2 refers to students .Awriting opportunityBlarge houseClarge vocabularyDemotional life82In the authors view, what can students benefit from the journal writing?AIt is beneficial to students future career.BIt can make students more emotional.CIt is helpful to students homework.DIt can enlarge students vocabulary.DAs the pace of life continues to increase, we are getting more and more stressed and we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But learning to live with a certain amount of stress is of great significance while relaxation is completely necessary for a healthy mind and body.Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing as it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.The amount of stress a person can withstand（经受住）depends very m
