In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out, 21 behind shoes, socks, and shirt as he went. He flew into the water, not realizing that 22 he swam toward the middle of the lake, a crocodile was swimming toward the 23 . His mother, in the house, 24 saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In complete fear, she ran toward the water, yelling to her son as loudly as she could.Hearing her voice, the little boy became 25 and made a return to swim to his mother. It was too 26 . Just as he reached her, the crocodile reached him. The mother grabbed（抓住）her little boy 27 the arms just as the crocodile snatched his legs. That began a（n） 28 tug-of-War（拔河；拉锯战）between the two. The crocodile was much stronger than the mother, but the mother was much too 29 to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard her screams, raced from his truck, took aim and 30 the crocodile.Surprisingly, after weeks in hospital, the little boy 31 . However, his legs were extremely scarred（留下疤痕）by the violent attack of the animal and on his arms were deep scratches where his mothers 32 dug into his flesh in her effort to 33 the son she loved. A newspaper reporter asked the boy 34 he would show him his scars. The boy lifted his pants. And then, 35 , he said, “But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them 36 mymom wouldnt 37 .”We each have scars, too, mostly just the scars of a painful past. 38 of those scars are not pleasant to look at and have caused us deep regret. But, some wounds, my friends, are because God has 39 to let go. In the midst of your 40 in life, Hes been there holding on to you.21AleftBhad leftCleavingDhaving leaving22Awhile BifCbecauseDas23AhouseBtruckChospitalDshore24AaccidentallyBcuriouslyCnonverballyDparticularly25AinterestedBalarmedCstiffDstrong26AlateBastonishingCamusingDearly27AbyBwithConDto28AunsuitableBdisagreeableCmoveableDunbelievable29AfortunatelyBpassionateCconsiderateDdeliberate30Ashot atBshouted atCshotDshouted31Acame to himselfBsurvivedC was on his feetDsuffered32AfingernailsBfootprintsCfingerprintsDfootsteps33Ahang on toBkeep away fromCput her hands onDget close to34AwhenBhowCifDunless35Ataking a deep breathBwith a deep regretCbursting out laughing Dwith obvious pride36AalthoughBbecauseCin caseDdue to 37Alet outBlet goCget rid of themDlose face38AAllBNoneCSomeDMany39ArefusedBagreedCpermittedDaided40AentertainmentBstruggleCprocessDceremony三、阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分；满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AParents have to do much less for their children today than they used to do，and home has become much less of a workshopClothes can be bought ready made，washing can go to the laundry，food can be bought cooked，canned or preserved，bread is baked and delivered by the baker，milk arrives on the doorstep，meats can be had at the restaurant，the works canteen，and the school diningroomIt is unusual now for father to pursue his trade or other employment at home，and his children rarely， if ever，see him at his place of workBoys are therefore seldom trained to follow their fathers occupation，and in many towns they have a fairly wide choice of employment and so do girlsThe young wage-earner often earns good money，and soon acquires a feeling of economic independenceIn textile areas it has long been customary for mothers to go out to work，but this practice has become so widespread that the working mother is now a not unusual factor in a childs home life，the number of married women in employment having more than doubled in the last twenty-five yearsWith mother earning and his older children drawing substantial wages father is seldom the dominant figure that he still was at the beginning of the centuryWhen mother works，economic advantages accrue，but children lose something of great value if mothers employment prevents her from being home to greet them when they return from schoo141The writer mentions home as workshop because .Afathers often pursue employment at homeBparents had to make food and necessity themselves for their daily-lifeCmany familie2s produce goods at home for saleDboth fathers and mothers in most families are workers42The word “accrue” in the sentence “When mother accrue，”is closest in meaning to .Achange Bdwindle Cdouble Dincrease43The chief reason that boys are seldom trained to follow their fathers occupation is .Athat children nowadays rarely see their fathers at their place of workBthat fathers do not like to pursue employment at home any moreCthat there is a wide choice of employment for childrenDthat children also like to have jobs outsideBFoxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals. They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them.Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of pursuing a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it.People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict codes of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy.It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over the last couple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting, because they think it is brutal（残酷的）, has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of confrontation（冲突）between hunters and hunt saboteurs（阻拦者）. Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly saboteurs interfere with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the foxs smell, which the dogs follow.Noisy confrontations between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit of foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A Labor Party Member of the Parliament, Mike Foster, is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain.44Rich people in Britain have been hunting foxes .Afor recreation（娱乐） Bin the interests of the farmersCto limit the fox population Dto show off their wealth45What is special about fox hunting in Britain?AIt involves the use of a deadly poison.BIt is a costly event which rarely occurs.CThe hunters have set rules to follow.DThe hunters have to go through strict training.46A new law may be passed by the British Parliament to .Aprohibit farmers from hunting foxes Bforbid hunting foxes with dogsCstop hunting wild animals in the countryside Dprevent large-scale fox hunting47It can be inferred from the passage that .Akilling foxes with poison is illegalBlimiting the fox population is unnecessaryChunting foxes with dogs is considered cruel and violentDfox-hunting often leads to confrontation between the poor and the richC“A very disruptive（扰乱型的）six-year old child kicked my legs and clawed at my hand，”said one teacher. “I broke up a fight and was kicked between my legs，”said another. Many people have heard stories like this. But the situation is more worrying still and it involves parents.Every child , regardless of the circumstances into which they are born，has the right to achieve their potential，regardless of their parents wealth and class. And we recognize that, as a nation，it is a long way to achieve this goal. But rights come with responsibilities and what worries people is that we are in danger of neglecting the latter.Far too many children are behaving badly at school，even to the point of being violent to staff. This is terrible enough，but it is hard to be surprised since many children are just mirroring the behavior of their parents. Too many are starting school unable to hold a knife and fork, unused to eating at a table，and unable to use the lavatory properly.We are in danger of becoming a nation of families living separate lives under one roof. The bedroom, once a place to sleep，has become the living space for the young. Spending hours in front of computer screens, on social networking sites or being immersed in computer games, children and young people spend little time with their parents. Parents are unable to monitor just what their children are watching.Schools cannot right the wrongs of society and teachers cannot become substitute parents. Both parties need to work together. Parents must be helped and given confidence to take back control. They are responsible for setting boundaries for their childrens behavior and sticking to those boundaries when the going gets tough. They are responsible for setting a good example to their children and for devoting that most precious of resources-time-so that children come to school ready and willing to learn.48In the opinion of the writer, what problem do people ignore?AThe school violence. BThe pressure of students learningCThe right to achieve students potential. Dthe responsibilities of the students.49The writers attitude to the behaviors of parents may be that of .Adissatisfied Bunconcern Cunderstanding Dtolerance50The underlined part in Para 4 may means .Aparents and children live in their separate roomsBparents care little about childrens life at homeCchildren dont live with their parents in the same roomDat home children live a different life from that of parents51From the last paragraph, we can infer that .Aschools cant correct the wrongs that society does to teachersBteachers have no responsibility for playing the role of parentsCparents should spend time with children making them ready to learnDstudents are responsible for making themselves known in societyDAfter too long on the Net，even a phone call can be a shock. My boyfriends Liverpudlian accent suddenly becomes too difficult to understand after his clear words on screen; a secretarys tone seems more rejecting than Id imagined it would be. Time itself becomes fluid- hours becomes minutes， and alternately seconds stretch into days. Weekends， once a highlight of my week，are now just two ordinary days.For the last three years，since I stopped working as a producer for Charlie Rose，I have done much of my work as a telecommuter. I submit articles and edit them by E-mail and communicate with colleagues on Internet mailing lists. My boyfriend lives in England, so much of our relationship is computer-mediated.If I desired，I could stay inside for weeks without wanting anything. I can order food，and manage my money，love and work. In fact，at times I have spent as long as three weeks alone at home，going out only to get mail and buy newspapers and groceries. I watched most of the blizzard of 96 on TV.But after a while，life itself begins to feel unreal. I start to feel as though Ive merged（融合）with my machines，taking data in spitting them back out， just another node （波节）on the Net. Others on line report the same symptoms. We start to strongly dislike the outside forms of socializing. Its like attending an A. A. meeting in a bar with everyone holding a half-sipped drink. We have become the Net opponents worst nightmare. What first seemed like a luxury，crawling from bed to computer，not worrying about hair，and clothes and face，has become an avoidance，a lack of discipline. And once you start replacing real human contact with cyber-interaction，coming back out of the cave can be quite difficult.At times, I turn on the television and just leave it to chatter in the background, something that Id never done previously. The voices of the programs soothe（安慰）me, but then Im jarred（使感不快）by the commercials. I find myself sucked in by soap operas, or compulsively（强制性能地）needing to keep up with the latest news and the weather. Dateline, Frontline, Nightline, CNN, every possible angle of every story over and over and over, even when they are of no possible use to me. Work moves from foreground to background.52Compared to the clear words of her boyfriend on screen, his accent becomes .Aunreal Bunbearable Cmisleading Dnot understandable53What does the last paragraph mean ?AHaving worked on the computer for too long, she became a bit strange.BShe is so interested in TV programs that she often forgets her work.CShe watches TV a lot in order to keep up with the latest news and the weather.DShe turns on TV now and then in order to get some comfort from TV program.54What is the authors attitude to the computer?AShe has become bored with it.BShe dislikes it because TV is more attractive.CShe dislikes it because it cuts off her relation with the outside world.DShe likes it because it is very convenient.55The underlined phrase “coming back out of the cave ”probably means .Agoing back to the dreaming world Bcoming back home from the outside worldCrestoring direct human contact Dgetting away from living a strange lifeEAlbert Einstein had a great effect on science and history. An American university president once said that Einstein had made a new outlook, a new view of the universe. It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity of time and space and so onbut even ordinary man now understand that the universe is something larger than ever thought before.By 1914 young Einstein had been world-famous. He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Pru
