It was just standing there, with father standing on one side, and I on the other side.We were both in great anger. Never set foot in this house again! stormed father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.The street lights were shining, causing rather sad-feeling. I wandered aimlessly.A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.But now. I dont know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. He always puts his opinions and codes of behavior on me. Whenever I do something wrong, he never admits it. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.I wandered in the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.I thought to myself: Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. I cant stand his outrageous（蛮横的）words: I cant throw you away, let alone these old papers?All the lights were off except fathers.Dad was always like this. Maybe he didnt know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret. After an argument he has the habit of creeping up（蹑手蹑脚地）in my sleep and then tucking me underneath the covers.This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.The light was still on. Am I wrong? I whispered, maybe . With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Loveit second to none.33Decide which is the best order of the following according to what happened in the passage.a. I opened the door and entered the house.b. Sadly I ran out into the street.c. I reached the place where I lived and saw my house still brightly lit.d. I thought of my fathers kindness towards me.e. I walked about in the street without any aim.Ab, e, d, c, aBb, e, c, d, aCb, e, a, c, dDb, e, c, a, d34What made the writer think of his childhood?AThe sight of the street lights.BThe sight of the empty street.CThe sight of a father with a child in his arms.DThe sight of light in his own house.35Why do you think the father often shouts at his son?APerhaps the father is getting older and older.BPerhaps the son has already grown up.CPerhaps they never agree with each other.DPerhaps the father has got used to doing that.36What conclusion can you come to after reading the passage?AThe father treats his son in an unfair way.BThe father is actually kind to his son.CThe father is neither kind nor cruel to his son.DThe father is always finding fault with his son.BDo you like to eat many different foods at the same time? Most of us do, but to buy twenty dishes at a restaurant is just too expensive for most Americans. A good way is to eat a potluck meal.The idea is to have many families in a community（社区）prepare one or two dishes only and bring them to a large room. Many soups, salads, meats, hot dishes, cold dishes, desserts, and drinks are put on the table at one time.Each family member then takes a paper plate, a plastic knife, a fork, a spoon and a paper cup. In turn, they pick out the food they want to eat and fill their own plates with a balanced meal. Then, they sit with either their family or friends.When they finish, they may go back to the table and eat more food for there is always more than the group can eat at one time. Following the meal, every one puts their paper plates and cups as well as the plastic knives, forks, and spoons into the rubbish container.At many potlucks, the people then begin having fun. A group of four men may sing as a Barbershop Quartet. A pianist or a violinist may play a solo. Often, there is group singing. Sometines there is a liars contest. Three people are chosen to tell a story. They leave the room and two come back and tell a true story while one tells a lie. The lie must be a clever story so it will he hard to choose which of the three stories is not true. The liars contest always causes every one to laugh loudly.Everyone leaves the potluck in good spirits as they have all eaten a very good meal and they have enjoyed themselves very much.37What does the phrase potluck meal probably mean?AA meal contained in a pot that will bring you good luck.BAn ordinary meal for several families.CA big meal for some special guests.DA meal where many families eat together each preparing one or two dishes.38How do people at a potluck meal enjoy themselves?AA group of three men may sing as a Barbershop Quartet.BA pianist or a violinist may play as a Barbershop Quartet.CThree people are often chosen to have a liars contest.DThree people are chosen to tell a true story.39In the “liars contest” it is hard for people to choose the lie because _.Athe lie is also a true storyBthe lie is told by a clever liarCthe lie is required to be a clever storyDthe true stories are easy to tell40What is the authors purpose in writing this passage?ATo introduce one of the American community activities.BTo speak highly of American social activities.CTo show a very effective way to eat well.DTo show the importance of a potluck meal.第二节：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。选项中有一项为多余选项。41A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than is possible to learn in general history classes. Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics and war. But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions, and psychology.42In addition, information about the daily activities of our ancestorsor of people very different from our owncan be provided by art. In short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than can be found in most history books.43In history books, objective information about the political life of a country is presented； that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective: it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly “political” artist. In his well-known painting The Third of May 1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its misuse of power over people. Over a hundred years later,symbolic images were used in Pablo Picassos Guernica to express the horror of war. Meanwhile,on another continent, the powerful paintings of Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueirosas well as the works of Alfredo Ramos Martinsdepicted these Mexican artists deep anger and sadness about social problems.44In the same way, art can reflect a cultures religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art was almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that depicted people and stories from the Bible. Although most people couldnt read, they could still understand biblical stories in the pictures on church walls45By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was（and still is）its absence of human and animal images. This reflects the Islamic belief that status are unholy.AThere are few statues in the Middle East.BArt is a good means for people to know about religions.CArtists express their feelings and opinions in their works.DPeople know more about our culture through learning art history.EArt is more objective than history itself.FArt history provides information of different places and people.第卷（共32分）第一部分：短文选词（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）阅读下面的短文，并根据以下要求：1）汉语提示；2）首字母提示；3）语境提示，在每个空格内填入一个适当的英语单词，所填单词要求意义准确、拼写正确。I found out one time that doing a favor for someone could get you into a lot of trouble.

All good lessons and habits begin early, and saving is a skill that everyone needs. Many peopleadults includeddo not have a good sense of saving for the long run.I have been lucky to learn this lesson early because I have had a grass-cutting business since I was 10 years old. Of the money I make I spend about 10 percent and save the other 90 percent.Making sure you save and dont spend too much is a good way to build up wealth. I have put my earnings in a bank. Many teens I know spend all the money they earn so it never has a chance to grow. Young people should realize that their teenage years are a great time to begin saving.At high school many parents pay for almost everything, so your expenses can be small. If you have a lot, you should have fun with some of the money. But you should also save some so that it will grow. Then you can begin planning for your future. When you spend money, you not only lose that money, but also lose the interest you could have earned by saving it.After high school, college is expensive and then real life begins, with expenses such as food and rent. If you can hold onto a good percentage of the money you earn as a teen, going to college and buying a house will be much easier. _, the more time the money has to grow. If you are in your thirties without any savings, you will always have to struggle. The earlier you begin saving, the easier it is to create a nest egg.Later in life it can be hard to start saving because general costs of living are more expensive and you may only have enough to pay your bills. If you want to buy a house and have a family, you need money to start with, which comes from saving.Many say money cannot make you happy, and this is true. But money can help you to lead a secure life.Saving early will mean you will have to work for fewer years when you are older. It will also allow you to spend time doing the things that you want to do.In addition to
