He raised his sad eyes towards the deep blue sky, where the stars were floating like white lilies(百合花)on the surface of a clear calm lake. Then he cast them on the earth, where few more hopeless people than himself now moved towards their certain goal -the tomb. He had already passed sixty of the stages leading to it, and he had brought from his journey nothing but errors and regrets.The days of his youth appeared like dreams before him, and he remembered the serious moment when his father placed him at the entrance of the two roads-one leading to a peaceful, sunny place, covered with flowers, fruits and resounding with soft, sweet songs;the other leading to a deep, dark cave, which was endless, where poison flowed instead of water and where devils (魔鬼) and poisonous snakes hissed and crawled.He saw a star fall from the sky and disappear, and this was the symbol of himself. His regret, which as like a sharp arrow, struck deeply into his heart. Then he remembered his friends in his hildhood, who entered on life together with him. But they had made their way to suceess and were now honored and happy on this New Years night. With shame and grief he dared no longer look towards that heaven where his father lived. His darkened eyes were full of tears, and with a despairing effort, he burst out a cry: Come back, my early days! Come back”.And his youth did return ,for all this was only a dream which he had on New Years Night. He was still young though his faults were real; he had not yet entered the deep, dark cave, and he was still free to walk on the road which leads to the peaceful and sunny land.Those who still remain at the entrance of life, hesitating to choose the bright road, remember that when years have passed and your feet fall on the dark mountains, you will cry bitterly, but in vain: Oh youth, return! Oh give me back my early days!21.Whatdoestheunderlinedwordtheminthefirstparagraphreferto?A.Eyes. B.Stars C.Lilies DPeople22.WhatdoweknowabouthisfriendsfromParagraph3? A.Theyhadmademajorachievements.

When they are babies, they are curious about the parts of their bodies and about the smiles of their mothers. Then they become interested in the physical world around them: the plants, the animals, the sky. Later, they become absorbed in the things that people have made: wheels, bicycles, cars. And when they are adults, their curiosity perseveres. Sometimes this curiosity leads to a career in science.Scientists have already discovered a lot about our world. For example, they tell us why your heart beats fast when you run. Your heart is a pump that pumps blood to all parts of the body. The blood carries oxygen and nutrition. When you run, your muscles work very hard and use the nutrition that the blood carries to them. The muscles need oxygen, too. So your brain sends a ignal to the heart. The signal means that the muscles need more nutrition and oxygen. Then the heart beats fast and sends blood quickly to the muscles. It may beat 90 to 140 times a minute.Of course,scientists cannot answer all of our questions. If we ask. Why does the ocean water taste salty,scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks. When a rock gets very hot or very cold, it cracks. Rain falls into cracks. The rain then carries the salt into the earth and into the rivers. The rivers carry the salt into the ocean. But then we ask, What happens to the salt in the ocean? The ocean does not get saltier every year. Scientists are hesitating about the answer to this question.We know a lot about our world, but there are still many answers that we do not have, and we arecurious.25.

D.Theycannotexplainmanythings.CInteractions between people and elephants have a long history. Elephants have been trained and used by human beings for thousands of years,for everything from transportation to construction to logging(伐木) to war.In more recent times,Asian elephants have been used in entertainment and as a living“machine” to help move logs through the jungle as part of the logging industry.The latter changed in Thailand in 1989. when the Thai government banned the use of elephants in the logging industry.Owners of elephants had very little choice but to turn to tourism to earn enough to care for themselves and their elephants by offering elephant riding to tourists.Mahouts are the elephant handlers who you will see riding or managing the elephants at any camp you visit. Traditionally, being a mahout is part of the family business, and a young family member is matched with a young elephant, and they spend most of their lives together. The traditional mahout life isnt easy. Since they are bonded to their elephant. they rarely have time off or time for family.These years. younger mahouts in Thailand have been more likely to leave the mahout life to find jobs in the city, changing the dynamic and resulting in elephants having to get used to multiple mahouts. This can lead to additional stress on the elephant, or result in abuse by a mahout trying to manage an elephant that hasnt built any level of trust with him.Opponents of elephant riding may suggest that elephant rides be outlawed. My worry is that an immediate ban could lead to another massive change in how elephants are treated, similar to ending elephant logging in 1989. How will mahouts that are currently making a living and supporting their elephants through rides be able to continue to do so? The average lifespan of an elephant is 60 years. Any solution needs to take into account the long-term effects on the elephants currently employed giving rides.28.Whatwillcausetheilltreatmentofsomeelephants?

My father was not highly educated, but he was smart. He was a man made of leather and chewing tobacco who rarely tried to talk with my brother or me. He was quiet and distant, I might say. 31 .One day I came home and his car was already there._ 32 In fact, when he came home he went to the barn( 粮仓)to labour even more. I still remembed hiding around the corner and stealing a look at my father lying bitterly on the bed that day. Multiple myeloma, I learned, is type of blood cancer. 33 For the last year of my fathers life, his entire day consisted of rising from his bed and walking to his chair to sit and think alone.He was predictably in that chair on his own when I came in. 34 He told me about his life, his heartbreaks and his loves. It was as if a pipe had burst, his inner self rushing out to me in a great flood. He had been speaking for maybe an hour or more when I realized that he was doing more than telling. He was asking to be understood in a way that he had never done before.35 I realize,though, that if he hadnt I might never have come to know him and love him.A.Ididnotlikehimverymuch B.Myfathernevermissedwork.

She was fond of the food there 56 much that she promised to eat everything she 57 (offer)from the very beginning, no matter 58 strange it seemed. When she ended her journey, she wrote a book called Sharks Fin and Sichuan Pepper, which describes her 59 (friend) relationship with China and its food.For me, this book has a very special place in my heart. I was in Chengdu at the same time. living in the same area and eating in the same 60 (restaurant)as Ms. Dunlop. I never 61 (meet)her and I dont ever remember 62 (see)someone who looked like her. But her description of Chengdu, of Sichuan cuisine, of being a 63 (foreign)in China in the 1990s, and the culture shock when one returns to the West are exactly what I experienced and felt when I lived there.But what she does that I have never been able to do is to express it so_ 64 (precise)in writing what all of it means- being someone caught between two cultures. So if you want to really understand China from an outsiders perspective (视角). add Sharks Fin and Sichuan Pepper 65 your list of books to read.第四部分写作（共两节，满分40分）第一节：应用文写作(满分15分)假定你是李华，你的英国朋友Leslie写信询问你校“五四青年节”活动情况。请你回信向他介绍活动安排。内容包括1.时间和地点 2.足球比赛、文艺演出和演讲: 3.活动的意义。注意1.词数100左右: 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯.DearLeslieYours sincerely,Lihua第二节：阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。When I saw her tonight she smiled and recognized me.

Tonight when I talked with her I noticed her name tag. Her name is Pamela.Pamela works at the express checkouts in a busy supermarket. She deals with problems when the self-service checkout experiences a problem (no price on product, machine problems, ete. ) She monitors these checkouts and usually has hardly dealt with one complaint before another is created.When I first talked to Pamela.
