My best friend who lives in another city will have her 30th birthday party this weekend, but she hasnt invited me. Last year, she flew up to my city for my 30th birthday. She was also one of my bridesmaids (伴娘) at my wedding. We have never had any arguments, and I am not sure why. At this point in our lives, would she be pulling away from me? Our another friend who lives in the same city as me has been invited and she told me about the party.About three days ago, I emailed my friend and asked if she would have a party. I have not received a response up to now. When should I do? Should I contact her and let her know how I love to go and celebrate with her? I really dont want to lose such a dear friend. Please help!YoursElyseHi, Elyse,You must have felt very sad about it. And you did absolutely the right thing by asking. Your friend not to respond at all is rude, but is there any possibility that your message got lost in cyberspace (网络空间)? Can you send it again?Your friend hasnt told your mutual (共同的) friend not to say anything about the party to you, has she? You should make clear whether she didnt want to invite you or there were some other reasons why you were not invited? Perhaps there is a misunderstanding.If your friend truly hasnt invited you, you can write to her and make your friend know she is an important person in your life. And tell her that you are hurt without her invitation to her birthday party to celebrate her special day.

It can be relaxing, angering, comforting, energizing, and many more.There are so many types of music out there today. Rap, pop, rock, country, alternative, hardcore are some of the abundant types in the world. Music sends out either good or bad messages that have big impacts on how people act. People usually become friends with others who have the same taste. People may not want to associate with people who have different tastes in music because theyll argue about what they think is better but its just their own opinions.Rap and Rock music are two very important types of music in the world. The lyrics (歌词) sung or rapped by the artists can be things going on in their own personal lives. Music can also serve as a motivation for new ideas.

It was the loudest thing I have ever heard. The wind began to roar through the house. We had three flights of steps to get to the first floor. The closet down there is underneath a brick staircase, which seemed like the strongest place in our house to wait things out.It felt as if there were no floor underneath me as the wind lifted me off my feet. As we finally reached the last flight of steps, our front door blew out. Glass flew everywhere. Suddenly, a three-foot-long tree branch whipped through the doorframe. It flew over our heads, missing us by inches. Had we been one step up, it would have impaled us.We got close to the staircase only to hear the loud sound of our garage door coming off. The back wall of the house followed and tore off into the darkness outside.By the time I reached the closet, the tornado had been over us for about a minute. Jimmy pushed me down to the closet floor, but he couldnt get inside himself because of the wind. I gripped Jimmys arm and tried to bring Jimmy with it. My knees were full of glass, but in that moment, I felt no pain. If I had let go, Jimmy would have flown right out the back of the house and into the bay. All of a sudden, Jimmy lifted off his feet like people in tornadoes do in the movies. I thought he was gone. And then everything stopped. He landed on his feet. In those first quiet moments, I couldnt believe it was over.The storm lasted four minutes. In that time, four of the twelve town houses in our unit were completely destroyed. Of the houses left standing, ours suffered the most damage. Amazingly, none of us were severely injured.28Which of the following statements is True according to the passage?AThey decided to hide in the brick staircase because it was the strongest place to hide.BIt was hard to make it to the first floor because there was no floor underneath them.CTheir house was one of the houses in the unit that were completely destroyed.DIf the tornado hadnt stopped in time, Jimmy would have been blown away into the darkness.29Whats the right order of following events?a.

Today it is common in most major supermarkets. The reason for the increase is that more and more people are demanding food grown without chemicals. Since the 1990s, organic farm production has gone up 20 percent every year. This pattern is expected to continue around the globe.Australia leads the world in land used for organic agriculture. It has four times as much land devoted to organic farming as all of Asia. However, most of the land is not very fertile, and it only produces a modest amount of food. Argentina is a distant second, followed by Brazil, the United States and China. In Africa, only a very small amount of land is registered for organic farming. That does not mean Africa relies on chemicals. In fact, many farmers do not use chemicals because they cannot afford them. Yet there are no programs for these farmers to prove they do not use chemicals. Without these programs their food can never be approved organic.India has had the most dramatic recent increase in organic farming. Like many other countries, India sees continual growth in organic food sales around the world. This, of course, leads to growth in profits. Sales of organic food were more than doubled from 2000 to 2005. Like India, many countries are trying to increase commercial organic farming to get a share of the sales. This has led to criticism. Some people believe that organic farming should not just be about making money. They think the goal is to help the environment. Others say organic farming will not continue if it is not profitable. They say that people should be able to make money while providing food that is healthy to mankind.32What is the passage mainly about?ACountries all want to make money from organic farming.BOrganic food has become much more common.CPeople do not want to eat food with chemicals in it.DFarming organically is growing around the world.33Why do people want to increase organic farming?AOrganic food is good for the Earth and the human beings.BMore and more people demand chemicals to grow food.CProfits from organic farming help make approval programs.DThere are fewer chemicals available to the human beings.34From the passage, it can be said that _.AChina and India have the same amount of organic farmlandBIndia uses the least land to farm organicallyCthe US is the fourth largest organic farming countryDBrazil uses less land to farm organically than China35It can be inferred from the passage that _.Athere will be fewer organic farms if demand for organic food goes downBpeople who eat food with chemicals have shorter lifespanCIndia will soon become the largest grower of organic foodDmore countries will farm organically as the environment gets worse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。 Do you have a hard time saying no to others? Do you say yes when you really mean no? Youre not alone. Many people end up saying yes to something they dont really want to do for several reasons. It is necessary to learn how to say no.Im sorry. I just dont have the time at the moment.36After all, your own work comes first. The other person will understand, especially if they also have a busy job.I dont think Im the best person to help you out. Why dont you try.? If you think you cant be of any help then simply say no. 37Recommend that person instead. This is a good one to use at work.Let me get back to you. Sometimes you first have to check your schedule before you can make a promise. 38 This will waste the other persons time, which could have been spent finding someone else who would say yes.I would rather refuse than say sorry later. 39The other person will appreciate your honesty. You could even say, Id rather say no now than Im sorry later. However, you must never offer to do something in the future if you dont mean it. This will turn out to be much worse than simply saying no in the first place.No. This is the simplest and most direct way. Simply say no. 40We spend so much time thinking of good excuses when being direct is often the simplest and best way.AThere is no doubt you have said no a few times.BIf you are too busy then let the other person know.CThere is no need to add any derails unless asked for.DYou might be asked to do something when you are busy.E. Maybe you know someone else who would be better suited for the task.F. When you know you wont be able to do the best job you can, simply say so.G. But its not a good idea to say this when you really mean no in the first place.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 （共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 One small mistake changed Sonias life.
