They all had a special message that in some way or another reflected how I feel about you. Yet as I selected and read, it occurred to me that not a single card said what I really want to say to you. Youll soon be 84 years old, Dad, and you and I will have had 55 Fathers Days together. I havent always been with you on Fathers Day but Ive always been with you in my heart. You know, Dad, there was a time when we were separated by the generation gap. You stood on one side of the Great Divide and I on the other. The Father-Daughter Duel shifted into high gear ( 档位) when you taught me to drive the old Dodge and I decided I would drive the 54 Chevy whether you liked it or not. The police officer who sent me home, after you reported the Chevy stolen, didnt have much tolerance for a stubborn 16 year old, while you were so tolerant about it, Dad, and I think that was probably what made it the worst night of my life. Our relationship greatly improved when I married a man you liked, and things really turned around when we began making babies right and left. Somewhere along the line, the generation gap disappeared. I suppose I saw us and our relationship as aging together, rather like a fine wine.But the strangest thing happened last week. I was at a stop sign and I watched as you turned the corner in your car. It didnt immediately occur to me that it was you because the man driving looked so elderly and fragile behind the wheel of that huge car. It was rather like a slap in the face delivered from out of nowhere. Perhaps I saw your age for the first time that day.I guess what Im trying to say, Dad, is what every son and daughter wants to say to their Dad today. Honoring a father on Fathers Day is about respect and sharing and acceptance and tolerance and giving and taking. Its about loving someone more than words can say, and its wishing that never had to end. I love you, Dad.Love,Jenny1.How did Jenny probably feel on the night she was sent home by the police? A. Disappointed. B. Nervous. C. Guilty. D. Frightened.2. We can learn from the passage that Jenny and her father_.A. kept in touch by writing each other B. are separated due to the generation gapC. have been getting along very well D. had a hard time understanding each other3. Why did Jenny feel strange when she saw her father last week?. A. She seldom saw him driving that huge car.B.She had never realized his being old and weak.C. She didnt expect to meet with him there. D.She had never seen him driving so slowly before.4. Jenny wrote his father this letter to _.A. tell him about their conflicts B. say sorry for her being stubbornC. express her gratitude to him D. remind him of the early incidentBHoney from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar，it is also delicious.Most people，and many animals，like eating it.However，the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees nest and take the honey from it.Often，these nests are high up in trees，and it is difficult to find them.In parts of Africa，though，people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helpera little bird called a honey guide.The honey guide does not actually like honey，but it does like the wax in the beehives (蜂房)The little bird cannot reach this wax，which is deep inside the bees nest.So，when it finds a suitable nest，it looks for someone to help it.The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people.Once it has their attention，it flies through the forest，waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest.When they finally arrive at the nest，the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches.Some of the honey，and the wax，always falls to the ground，and this is when the honey guide takes its share.Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax，but it is very determined in its efforts to get it.The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away.They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives，and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.5Why is it difficult to find a wild bees nest?AIts small in size. BIts hidden in trees.CIts covered with wax. DIts hard to recognize.6What do the words “the follower” in Paragraph 2 refer to?AA bee. BA bird.CA honey seeker. DA beekeeper.7The honey guide is special in the way_Ait gets its food Bit goes to churchCit sings in the forest Dit reaches into beesnests8What can be the best title for the text?AWild Bees BWax and HoneyCBeekeeping in Africa DHoneyLovers HelperCIt was the end of my junior year, the weekend before prom (毕业舞会). I was riding with some friends, and a bottle was passed around the car. Everyone was taking swigs(一大口). When the bottle got to me, I thought:“What should I do?”I took a swig. It was the biggest mistake of my life. I had to drive home later that night.I went back to my car, got in and drove off. At a stop sign I saw a policeman sitting in the parking lot across the street. His headlights were turned on, and I knew he was going to follow me. Then he flashed his lights at me. All I could think was: “Oh no, that swig!”I pulled over and waited for him to come to my door. It felt like forever. “Can I see your license and registration, please, Miss?” I gave them to him. He took them and went back to his car for a while. When he returned, he asked if I had been drinking.“No,” I said. He asked me to step out of my car.“Walk heel to toe down the white line, please.” I passed the test. Next he had me stand on my left foot, lift my right foot and hold it for 30 seconds. Im not the most coordinated (动作协调的) person and I cant even walk and chew gum at the same time, so, needless to say, I didnt pass. Then he asked me to take a breathalyzer test.That was where I messed up. I told him I didnt want to and didnt understand why I had to. The officer asked me three more times, and I continued to refuse. He told me to turn around and place my hands behind my back. He arrested me right then and there.The policeman drove me to a police station 20 minutes from my home. He called my parents and told them where I was.I went to court two months after that, charged with refusing to obey an officer. I got a $700 (4,340 yuan) fine and 40 hours of community service. Ill be on probation (缓刑) for a year, and Ill have to take the driving test again. I lost my license for a whole year.This was a huge learning experience for me. It opened my eyes to how easy it is to make a stupid decision. I want everyone reading this to know that its not right to drink and drive. It definitely isnt worth losing your license over.9.From the first paragraph, we can conclude that the author _.A. didnt remember she had to drive home later when riding with her friendsB. wished she had refused to drink that nightC. felt just one mouthful would not affect her drivingD. lost her driving license on the way10.Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?A. The author was in jail for 40 hours and had to do community service.B. The author thought her punishment shouldnt be so serious.C. The author was really sorry that she had made a serious mistake.D. The author believed she would have avoided punishment if she had obeyed the policeman.11.What is the main purpose of the article?A. To warn people against driving after drinking.B. To explain how policemen test drivers.C. To show that severe punishment works.D. To blame the authors thoughtless friends.D If you need glasses to read this, you are among the majority of Chinese students. Thats because most students in China are short-sighted which means they can only see things close up and distant things will be blurry. Four-fifths of high school students wear glasses and now more and more children in primary school need glasses, too.This epidemic of poor eyesight has two very simple causes: too much time spent indoors studying and too little time spent outdoors playing. Reading and writing for hours and hours, sometimes in poorly lighted rooms, causes eyesight to weaken. But students have to do this because there is so much pressure on them to succeed in school. And because they spend so much time indoors at school and at home, they have less time to spend outdoors enjoying the sun.The sun, as a consequence, is important in developing good eyesight. Exposure to daylight releases a chemical in the eyes that prevents, or at least delays, short-sightedness. According to a study by Ian Morgan of Australian National University, Australian children and Chinese children have the same level of eyesight before they start school, but once they enter primary school, Chinese children only spend about an hour a day outside, while Australian children spend three to four hours each day in the sunshine. The result is that while about 40 percent of Chinese primary school students need glasses, only three percent of Australian children do.Wearing glasses may not seem like a big deal. For some, wearing glasses can even be an opportunity to make a fashion statement. But poor eyesight at a young age can have serious long term consequences. As you get older, your eyesight can worsen and lead to things like macular degeneration(黄斑变性), a condition of the eyes for which there is no cure and which can eventually lead to blindness.With all that in mind, dont you think its time to give your eyes a break? Try spending a little less time inside and go for a walk in the park, instead. Its the healthy thing to do and your eyes will thank you for it. 12.What does the underlined word “blurry” mean? A. unpopular. B. unpleasant.C. unclear.D. unconscious. 13.How should the students protect their eyesight according to the passage? A. They should study less and less.B. They should stay longer outdoors.C. They should wear sun-glasses.D. They should have a longer rest in bed. 14.It can be inferred from the passage that _ is to blame for the poor eyesight of Chinese children. A. the ever-worsening bad weather B. the ever-increasing burden of study C. the ever-decreasing sunny days D. the ever-decreasing period of study time15.What is the purpose of this article? A. To explain why Chinese students are poor-sighted. B. To admire Australian childrens good eyesight. C. To criticize the present education system. D. To call on people to protect Chinese childrens eyesight 第二节 （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。Public Speaking TrainingGet a coach_16_，so get help.Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses，here are some things to look for when deciding the training thats right for you.Focus on positivesAny training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well.Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you arent doing well._17_，so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldnt do._18_If you find a public speaking course that looks as though its going to give you lots of dos and donts，walk away！Your brain is so full of what youre going to be talking about._19_.As far as were concerned，there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking.Your audience can be your friends.You are a special person not a cloneMost importantly，good public speaking training should treat you as a special one，with your own personal habits._20_.Your training course should help you bring out your personality，not try to turn you into someone youre not.AYou arent like anybody elseBYou already do lots of things wellCTurn your back on too many rulesDCheck the rules about dos and dontsEWhatever the presentation，public speaking is toughFThe one thing you dont want is for them to fall asleepGSo trying to force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worse第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题15分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A, B, C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。A Welcome GiftDario and his mother loved their new apartment.
