Shes had a hard day, and Ive had a hard week. Nothing out of the ordinary happens when I get to the store. I grab the bread, some milk, and other things on the list. As I turn to head out, I see a beautiful dress in the window. I turn away, bitter that I could never own such a dress.Outside, I cannot stop thinking about that pretty dress. Its not fair that I can never have what I want. I work so hard to help my family and yet I get nothing in return, just another list to do. In my anger, I fail to realize the apples are rolling across the road. Suddenly, I see a pair of hands, offering me an apple. Looking up, I see the tanned (晒黑的) face of this stranger. His clothes are mismatched, borrowed or stolen. But his eyes are soft and kind.“Thanks,” I say. No other words are spoken as he continues to help me. I tell him “thank you” one more time and am on my way because I have many other things to finish. Suddenly, he says, “Have a good day, maam.” And then he gives me the biggest smile I have ever seen. Right then, he looks years younger and I feel a fool.Look at me, feeling sorry for myself because I dont get what I want! Do I not think others are in the same boat, or worse? There are worse things than not having a beautiful dress.My mother will hand me the list today. I will make the same journey and probably see something I want but cannot have. But before I start to feel sorry for myself, I will remember the kind stranger with the big smile, and I will grab the last item, and check out.24.

Whats the best title for the text?A. A difficult daily jobB. Learn to understandC. My greatest influenceD. Save money for the futureCOne part of the world is still largely unexplored. It is the deep sea. Over the years, many people have explored under the sea. But the first deep-sea divers (潜水员) wanted to find sunken treasure. They werent really interested in studying the creatures of life there. Only recently have they begun to learn some of the mysteries of the sea.Its not easy to explore the deep sea. A diver must have a way of breathing underwater. He must be able to protect himself from great pressure (压力). The pressure of air is about 15 pounds on every square inch. But the pressure of water is about 1,300 pounds on every square inch!The first diving suits (潜水服) were made of rubber. They had a metal helmet (头盔) with windows in it. The shoes were made of lead and weighed twenty pounds each! These suits let divers go down a few hundred feet, but they were no good for exploring the very deep waters. With a metal diving suit, a diver could go down 700 feet. Metal suits were first used in the 1930s.In 1927, a diver named William Beebe wanted to explore deeper than anyone had ever gone before. He was not interested in finding treasure. He wanted to study the creatures and plants of the sea. His friend invented a metal ball called the Bathysphere. It weighed more than 5,000 pounds, but in it Beebe went down 3,028 feet. He saw many things that had never been seen by humans before.28. People who first explored the deep sea hoped to _.A. learn about the animals and plants of the seaB. solve some mysteries about the seaC. have an exciting trip in the seaD. discover treasure under the sea29. According to the text, what make(s) deep-sea diving difficult?A. The pressure of water.B. The temperature of water.C. The dangerous sea creatures.D. The heavy breathing equipment.30. Compared with rubber diving suits, metal diving suits _.A. had windows in the metal helmetB. weighed twenty more poundsC. were good for exploring deeper watersD. began to be used much earlier31. What do we know about William Beebe from the text?A. He broke the diving record in his time.B. He failed to find the treasure he wanted.C. He met something terrible under the sea.D. He was the first diver to explore the deep sea.DOne day, a patient came to see me. He worked as a waiter in a restaurant and his problem was acid reflux (胃酸倒流), a disease that influences as many as 40 percent of Americans, a marked increase in recent years. Reflux can lead to esophageal (食道的) cancer, which has increased by about 500 percent since the 1970s. The drugs we use to treat reflux dont always work and may even increase the risk of developing cancer when used long term.What is responsible for these worrying developments? For one, our poor diet, with its huge increases in the intake of sugar, fat, soft drinks, and unhealthy foods. But another important fact has been overlooked: dinnertime. Over the past twenty years, the time of my patients evening meals has become later and later. Dinner already pushed back by longer work hours is often further delayed (推迟) by activities such as shopping and exercise.In my experience, the single most important treatment for reflux is to avoid late eating. A patient with reflux came to see me because her father and uncle died of esophageal cancer, and she was afraid of getting it too. Her nightly routine (常规) included a 9 p.m. dinner with at least two bottles of red wine. The reflux was serious, and changes were needed.She listened, then did not come back to see me for a year. “For the first two months, I just hated you,” she told me, “and for the next two months, I was having some trouble eating. I guessed I was going to die of esophageal cancer.” Then she added, “You know, were the reason that its not so easy to get 6 p.m. reservations (预约) at the good restaurants anymore.”To stop the increase in reflux disease, we have to stop eating at least three hours before bed. As for my waiter patient? I told him to eat dinner before 7 p.m. Within six weeks, his reflux was gone.32. The disease the waiter caught is _.A. on the riseB. easy to controlC. unusual in AmericaD. the most dangerous cancer33. What does the underlined word “overlooked” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Talked about a lot.B. Paid no attention to.C. Carefully looked into.D. Taken into consideration.34. Why did the woman patient hate the author?A. He spoke of her dead father and uncle.B. He asked her to change her eating habits.C. He couldnt find a way to deal with her problem.D. He couldnt make her healthy again within a year.35. The author writes the text to tell us _.A. not to work late at nightB. to avoid eating at restaurantsC. unhealthy foods cause cancerD. the danger of eating late at night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。The tradition of birthday parties started a long time ago. People thought that there was a special danger from evil (邪恶的) spirits, so friends and family came together to bring good thoughts and wishes and even presents. 36 But as time went by, children and then adults began to have their own birthday celebrations. There are some traditions such as sending birthday cards, blowing out the candles on a birthday cake and singing the “Happy Birthday” song, that you can find almost anywhere, any time. 37In many English-speaking countries, a twenty-first birthday cake often has a key on top. 38 The key means that the young person is now old enough to leave and enter the family home at any time they want to!In the past in parts of Europe, men who reached the age of thirty and were still single, had to clean the stairs of the City Hall. This way every girl could see that the man didnt have a girlfriend. 39After the age of thirty, many people prefer to forget their birthdays rather than celebrate them .children often bring Mum (or Dad) breakfast in bed. 40 Its also a day when your friends and family have to pay if you go out for drinks or a meal!A. Birthday traditions are around the world.B. At one time, only kings had birthday parties.C. Or the cake itself is sometimes in the shape of a key.D. Its traditional to give flowers and enjoy a special meal.E. Family members put many sweets on the birthday cake.F. They could also see how good he was at cleaning the house!G. Others are more specific to certain ages and certain countries.第三部分： 语言知识运用 （共两节，满分45分）第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5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。Many people enjoy taking trips by themselves. Unluckily, they do not always have the best 41 . Instead, people should consider group tours. Taking a group tour is a wise choice for people to 42 themselves.First, group tours plan travelers routes, so people dont have to 43 where they are going next or how they are getting there. They can just 44 and enjoy their trip. 45 , my family once took a group tour to China. The travel agency (旅行社) 46 everything for us. We just looked at the schedule the travel agency had 47 and followed it. Thanks to the travel agency, we had a 48 trip. This made things 49 on my father since he didnt have to worry about where we would go next and 50 at night.Another 51 of group tours is that they allow people to communicate with one another while traveling. Travelers are able to develop 52 with people they would never have met 53 they are traveling together for a number of days. As I know, my parents 54 Russia on a group tour for their honeymoon (蜜月). They 55 another couple on that trip, and everyone had a great time together. Even after many years, they still 56 together from time to time. If my parents had traveled by themselves, it would have been 57 for them to get to know this couple.In short, there is 58 better than a group tour when traveling. Group tours schedule everything on the trip, and they give us the 59 to meet others and make friends with them. Group tours are the 60 way to travel when taking a trip.41.
