In order to renovate the house, a Japanese tore open the walls. Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between the wooden walls. When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard stuck there because a nail from outside was hammered into one of its feet. He saw this, feeling pity and curious. When he checked the nail, he found it was nailed 10 years ago when the house was first built.What happened? The lizard had survived in such a position for 10 years! It has been in a dark wall partition(夹层) for 10 years without moving! Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 10 years without moving a single step-since its foot was nailed! So he stopped his work and observed the lizard: what has it been doing? What and how has it been eating? Later, he didnt know from where another lizard appeared, with food in its mouth. Ah! He was astonished and touched deeply. The free lizard had been feeding the stuck one for the past 10 yearsSuch love, a beautiful love! Such love happened with this tiny creature What can love do? It can do wonders! Just think about it: one lizard had been feeding the other one untiringly for 10 long years, without giving up hope on its partner. If a small creature like a lizard can love like this just imagine how we can love if we try.56. The underlined word “renovate” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _.A. tear downB. tear openC. paintD. repair57. How did the Japanese feel when seeing the stuck lizard?A. FrightenedB. EnjoyableC. ConfusedD. Usual58. Why did the Japanese stop his work?A. To watch how long the lizard can still live here.B. To find out why the lizard had survived here for 10 years.C. To have a rest by watching the lizard.D. To take out the nail and set the lizard free.59.What can we learn from the free lizard?A. It encourages us to live even longer.B. It teaches us never to abandon our loved ones.C. It tells us to take pity on the stuck lizard.D. It teaches us to give more help to our loved ones.60.What would be the best title for the passage?A. Lizard LoveB. Two Lizards C. Such a Story D. A WonderBWhen should a child start learning to read and write? This is one of the questions I am most frequently asked. There is no hard and fast rule, for no two are alike, and it would be wrong to set a time when all should start being taught the intricacies（复杂）of reading letters to form words.If a three-year-old wants to read（or even a two-year-old for that matter）, the child has the right to be given every encouragement. The fact that he or she might later be “bored” when joining a class of non-readers at child school is the teachers affair. It is up to the teacher to see that such a child is given more advanced reading material.Similarly, the child who still cannot read by the time he goes to junior school at the age of seven should be given every help by teachers and parents alike. They should make certain that he is not dyslexic（having difficulty in reading）.Although parents should be careful not to force youngsters aged two to five to learn to read（ if badly done it could put them off reading for life ）, there is no harm in preparing them for simple recognition of letters by labeling various items in their rooms. For instance, tie a nice piece of cardboard to their bed with BED written in neat, big letters.Should the young child ask his parents to teach him to read, and if the parents are capable of doing so, such an attraction should not be ignored. But the task should never be made to look like a hard job and the child should never be forced to continue, or his interest should start to flag.61. This passage is mainly about _.A. what qualities people teaching children reading should haveB. different age groupings of children to be taught readingC. when and how children should be taught readingD. various problems of children who start learning to read62. In the writers opinion, children start learning to read _.A. early and fast B. at different timesC. by a certain rule D. from word games63. A three-year-old child who wants to read should _.A. be encouraged B. go to an infant schoolC. start from fun stories D. join a class of non-readers64. The purpose of labeling items in the room is to _.A. make it more colorful B. teach children to write neatlyC. help children recognize simple letters D. force children to develop the habit of reading65. The writer suggests that _.A. children should ask their parents to teach them to readB. children should not feel bored if given advanced reading materialC. children starting to read should ask specialists for helpD. children should be taught with patience, care and a sense of humourCThe Peales were a famous family of American artists. Charles Willson Peale is best remembered for his portraits of leading figures of the American Revolution. He painted portraits of Franklin and Jefferson and over a dozen of George Washington. His life-size portrait of his sons Raphaelle and Titian was so realistic that George Washington reportedly once tipped his hat to the figures in the picture. Charles Willson Peale gave up painting in his middle age and devoted his life to the Peale museum, which he founded in Philadelphia. The worlds first popular museum of art and natural science mainly covered paintings by Peale and his family as well as displays of animals in their natural settings. Peale found the animals himself and found a method to make the exhibits more lifelike. The museums most popular display was the skeleton (骷髅) of a huge, extinct elephant, which Peale unearthed on a New York farm in 1801. Three of Peales seventeen children were also famous artists. Paphaelle Peale often painted still lives of flowers, fruit, and cheese. His brother Rembrandt studied under his father and painted portraits of many noted people, including one of George Washington. Another brother, Rubens Peale, painted mostly landscapes and portraits. James Peale, the brother of Charles Willson Peale, specialized in miniatures (小画像). His daughter Sarah Miriam Peale was probably the first professional female portrait painter in America.66. What is the main topic of the passage? A. The life of Charles Willson Peale.B. Portraits in the 18th century. C. The Peale Museum.D. A family of artists.67. The author mentions in Paragraph 1 that Washington tipped his hat to the figures in the painting to show that _. A. Charles Willson Peales painting was very lifelike B. Washington respected Charles Willson Peales work C. Washington was friendly with Raphaelle and Titian Peale D. the painting of the two brothers was very large68. The underlined word “unearthed” is closest in meaning to“ _”. A. showed B. dug up C. invented D. looked over69. Which of the following is NOT the child of Charles Willson Peale? A. Titian Peale. B. Rubens Peale. C. Raphaelle Peale. D. Sarah Miriam Peale.70. The authors attitude toward the Peales is in general _.A. puzzled B. excited C. admiring D. disappointed第二节（任务型阅读）：Kitty, Kelly, Aidan, Bruce 和Pamela分别就父亲对自己的影响表达了看法（6165）。阅读下面他们发表在某网站论坛上的文章（A、B、C、D、E和F），选出最符合他们所表达的看法的选项。选项中有一项是多余选项。71. Kitty: Dad encouraged me to show great determination to do anything.72. Kelly: Dad gave me a new life which is full of love and happiness.73. Aidan: Dad is the person who introduced me to my sports career.74. Bruce: Dad taught me to share housework and take family responsibility.75. Pamela: Dad shows me that the most important in life is our family.ABDear Daddy, you stepped into my life years ago, and became my dad, a man who raised three fatherless kids and adopted another. It didnt matter to you or us that we were your biological kids or notyou are our dad! You did everything humanly possible for us, and you managed to have taken care of Mom, who has been sick, and the grandkids as well. Lessons learned are love and compassion and kindness We love you dearly.My dad taught me how to play basketball. He taught me how to pivot, throw three pointers, and do lay-ups and dunks. Now I am a pro (职业球员) at basketball. When I played basketball in December, I was a good guard. Although I sometimes didnt play very well and team lost the game, my dad always encouraged me never to lose heart. Now I have a dream that when I grow up I can play basketball on the Celtics. I love my dad!CDThe most important thing that my dad ever taught me was “Never do anything halfway”. He always told me that by doing your very best, you demonstrate your ability, commitment and character. This advice was what I always kept in mind, whether I was shoveling the snow off the driveway, training for a basketball game or completing my last course in graduate school. “It shows what kind of person you are,” my dad would say. “People will remember and respect you for that.” I definitely do remember and respect my dads advice, which will guide me do anything.My dad has taught me many things. He has taught me love, hope, respect, discipline and the value of hard work. He has taught me never to be afraid, but when I am, his arms are always open for me
