However, sometimes the smallest action can make a huge impact（影响）on someones life. There are 17 different ways we can show kindness to 18 , and it doesnt have to be in a big 19 . A smile, a door being held open, a handwritten note, a kind word, the list can 20 on and on.I was recently reading some of Aesops Fables and 21 the story of The Lion and The Mouse. 22 this story has been around for a long time, 23 still has wisdom in its words. Below is the 24 :One day a lion was 25 when a little mouse began running up and down his back; this soon 26 the lion, who placed his huge paw upon him, and 27 his big jaws(颚) to swallow(吞下) him.“Please dont,” cried the little mouse: “forgive me this time, I shall never 28 it: who knows but what turn I may be able to 29 you some day?” The lion was so tickled（逗笑） 30 the idea of the mouse being able to help him that he lifted up his paw and let him go.Some time after the lion was 31 in a trap, he pulled with all his might, but the ropes were too 32 .

Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the number of people who didnt have breakfast, increased by 33 percent.For those who feel pain of guilt about not eating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect performance,” said Arrold E. Bender, former professor of the nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.”Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children, not adults, “The literature”, says one researcher, Dr. Erresto at the University of Texas, “is poor”.36. The latest year for which figures could be obtained is _.A. the year the author wrote the articleB. 1977C. any year between 1997 and 1983D. 198337. For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that _.A.several studies have been done in the past few yearsB.the omission of breakfast does no harm to ones healthC.adults have especially made studies in this fieldD.eating little in the morning is good for health38. “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance” means _.A.anyone without breakfast does improve his performanceB.not giving people breakfast improve performanceC.having breakfast does not improve performance, eitherD.people having breakfast do improve their performance39. What is implied but NOT stated by the author is that _.A.breakfast does not affect performanceB.Dr. Erresto is engaged in research work at an institution of higher learningC.not eating breakfast might affect the health of childrenD.Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in LondonBAbout 35% of all high school graduates in America continue their education in an institution of higher learning. The word college is used to refer to either a college or a university. These institutions offer four-year programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor Science (B.S.) degree. Some students attend a junior college (providing only a two-year program) for one to two years before entering a four-year college as a sophomore (二年级生) or junior (三年级生).It is generally easier to be accepted at a state university than at a private one. Most private schools require strict entrance examinations and a high grade point average (GPA), as well as specific college prep classes in high school. Private schools cost considerably more than state colleges and famous private schools are very expensive. Poorer students can sometimes attend, however, by earning scholarships. Some college graduates go on to earn advanced masters or doctoral degrees in grad (graduate) school. Occupations in certain fields such as law or medicine require such advanced studies.Since college costs are very high, most students work at part-time jobs. Some have full-time jobs and go to school part-time. Often some will take five or more years to complete a four-year program because of money / job demands on their time.While the college and work demands take up the great part of a students time, most still enjoy social activities. Sports, dances, clubs, movies, and plays are all very popular. However, gathering together for long, philosophical talks at a favorite meeting place on or near the university is probably the most popular activity.40. College education is _ in America.A. quite commonB. very rareC. something difficultD. almost impossible41. Which of the following is NOT required for entering most private schools.A. entrance examinationsB. taking part in many activitiesC. GPAD.college prep classes42. How can poor students attend private schools?A. Only by working at part-time jobs. B. Only by working at full-time jobs.C. Only by earning scholarships.D. All of above.43. The best title for this passage is _.A. Part-time jobsB. American collegeC. Popular activityD. A new systemCThe first tape recorder didnt use tape. It used long thin wire. It was invented in 1900 by Valdermar Poulsen. In 1930, German scientists invented the tape we use today. Back then the tape was on big rolls. In 1964 the Philips company in Holland invented the cassette. Its pretty much a holder for the tape. People use cassettes all over the world. If you dont have a cassette recorder, borrow one.Think of a book your parents read out loud to you. That might be a great book to read out loud to your mom or dad in their car. Put a cassette in the recorder, open the book, hit the record button and start reading out loud.Remember there is no such a thing as a wrong way to do this. You might think youve made a mistake, but this gift is part of you, and nothing about that can be a mistake. Its impossible.You get to be all artistic and creative here. You might want to play music in the background. Do whatever you want. The gift is you, so you decide. Remember to say “I love you”at the end of your reading. Thats like the prize at the end of the book.44. Choose the right order that shows the development of the tape recorder.a. Using big rolls. b. Using cassettes.c. Using thin wire.A. a,b,cB. b,c,aC. c,a,bD. c,b,a45. Why does the author mention the history of tape recorders in Paragraph 1?A. To inform readers of new inventions. B.

Because the music is what your parents like.D. Because its impossible to find a mistake in the book.DEnglish as a Foreign LanguageWho taught you to speak English? Your parents, while you were a young child? Your teachers at school? Perhaps even the BBC as a grown-up. Whoever it was, somehow you have developed an understanding of what is rapidly becoming a truly global language.There are now about 376 million people who speak English as their first language, and about the same number who have learnt it in addition to their mother tongue. There are said to be one billion people learning English now and about 80% of the information on the Internet is in English.Is this a good thing, or a bad thing? Should we celebrate the fact that more and more of us can communicate, using a common language, across countries and cultures（文化）？Or should we worry about the dangers of mono-culturalism, a world in which we all speak the same language, eat the same food and listen to the same music?Does it matter if an increasing number of people speak the same language? On the contrary（相反），I would have thoughtalthough I have never accepted the argument that if only we all understood each other better, there would be fewer wars. Ask the people of India（where many of them speak at least some English）and Pakistan（the same situation with India）If we all speak English, will we then all start eating McDonalds burgers? Surely not. If English becomes more dominant（占主导地位的）, it will kill other languages ? I doubt it. When I travel in Africa or Asia, I am always surprised by how many people can speak not only their own language but often one or more other related languages, as well as English and perhaps some French or German as well.When we discussed this on Talking Point a couple of years ago, we received a wonderfully poetic email from a listener in Ireland. “The English language is a beautiful language. Maybe its like a rose, ”he said. “But who would ever want their garden just full of rose? ”Well, I love roses, and I think they make a beautiful addition to any garden. But the way I see it, just by planting a few roses, you dont necessarily need to pull out everything else. If more and more people want to plant English roses, thats fine by me.48. By saying “Ask the people of Indiaand Pakistan”（in Paragraph 4）, the author is trying to show that _.A. speaking the same language doesnt necessarily bring peaceB. wars can destroy the relationship between two countriesC. English doesnt kill other languagesD. English is widely used in the world49. What does “garden”in the last two paragraphs stand for?A. LanguageB. FamilyC. The worldD. The Earth50. The author would probably agree that _.A. its very hard to plant many kinds of flowers in a gardenB. its good for people from other countries to learn EnglishC. more and more people like to plant roses in their gardensD. English is easier to learn than other languages51. This passage is mainly about _.A. why English has become a global languageB. how many people in the world speak EnglishC. how people in the world learn English as a foreign languageD. whether we need to worry about English being a world languageEWhen a storm is coming, most people leave the area as quickly ad possible and head for safety. But there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm. These people are willing to risk(冒危险)being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up.“Storm chasing(追逐)” is becoming an increasingly popular hobby(喜好), especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July. A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to 1,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and wits for it to develop.Although anyone can do it, storm chasing is extremely dangerous. The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds. Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm-chasing vacations during the storm season.Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement. “Storm chasing is 95% driving,” says Daniel Lynch, who spends most of his summer storm-chasing. “Sometimes you can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers.”However, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. “When you get close to a storm, it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life,” says Jasper Morley. “Every storm is an example of the power of nature, It is the greatest show on Earth.”52. For storm chasing, the first thing storm chasers do is to _.A. head straight for the center of the stormB. get into the car for safetyC. wait patiently for the storm to developD. collect information about a coming storm53. Beginners of storm chasing are advised _.A. not to drive in a heavy rainB. to do it in an organized wayC. not to get too close to a stormD. to spend more time on it in summer54. By saying “it is all worth it” in the last paragraph, the author means that _.A. storm chasing costs a lot of moneyB. storm chasing is worth hours of waitingC. efforts in storm chasing are well paidD. a storm presents the greatest show on Earth55. What can we learn from the text?A. Sometimes storm chasers get nothing but disappointmentB. Many storm chasers get killed in the storms.C. Storm chasing is becoming popular around the world.D. Storm chasing is only fit for young people.四、写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节 短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）I remember a few years before, I went out to eat with 56. _a friend of mine.
