One day while working at the cash register (收银台) in the gift shop, I saw an old couple come in with a little girl in a wheelchair. As I looked closer at this girl, l saw that she was almost set on her chair. I then realized she had no arms or legs, just a head, neck and upper body. She was wearing a little white dress with red dots. As the couple wheeled her up to me, I was looking down at the register. I turned my head toward the girl and gave her a wink (眨眼). As I took the money from her grandparents, I looked back at the girl, who was giving me the cutest (漂亮的，机灵的), largest smile I have ever seen.All of a sudden her handicap was gone and all I saw was this beautiful girl, whose smile just melted me and almost instantly gave me a completely new sense of what life is all about. She took me from a poor, unhappy college student and brought me into her world; a world of smiles, love and warmth.That was ten years ago. Im a successful business person now and whenever I get down and think about the troubles of the world, I think about that little girl and the remarkable (非凡的) lesson about life that she taught me.36. From the underlined sentence we know that the little girl _.A. was badly injured B. was only able to smileC. wasnt able to move in the wheelchair D. was very healthy and cheerful37. In the authors opinion, the little girl was not disabled at all because _.A. she had a strong spirit B. she could take good care of herselfC. she offered him support in his business D. she told everyone how to live a good life38. What do we know about the author?A. He ran a gift shop in the university. B. He is a successful businessman.C. He studied Natural History in university.D. He graduated from Natural History University.39. What would be the best title for this passage?A. World of Smiles B. Love of a GirlC. A Badly Disabled Girl D. Secret of a BusinessmanBOur boat floated on between walls of forest. It was too thick to allow us a view of the land we were passing through, though we knew from the map that our river must from time to time be passing through chains of hills which crossed the jungle plains. Nowhere did we find a place where we could have landed: where the jungle did not actually spread right down into the river, banks of soft mud prevented us form going ashore. In any case, what would we have gained by landing? The country was full of snakes and other dangerous creatures and the jungle was so thick that one would be able to advance slowly, cutting ones way with knives the whole way. So we stayed in the boat, hoping that when we reached the sea, a friendly fisherman would pick us up and take us to civilization.As for water, there was a choice. We could drink the muddy river water, or die of thirst. We drank the water. Men who have just escaped from what appeared to be certain death lost all worries about such small things as diseases caused by dirty water. In fact, none of us suffered from any illness as a result.One day we passed another village, but fortunately nobody saw us. We did not wish to risk being taken prisoners a second time: we might not be so lucky as to escape in a stolen boat again.40. It can be inferred from the passage that the only thing they could see in a boat was _.A. wallsB. chains of hillsC. tall treesD. vast land41. From the passage, we can learn that _.A. the country was a civilized societyB. the country was a tropical jungle countryC. they found a place where they could landD. they were on a journey home42. According to the passage, what happened to the people in the boat at last?A. They were arrested.B. They managed to escape to safety.C. They were saved by some villagersD. The passage doesnt mention it.43. The best title for this passage might be _.A. The Problem of LandingB. An AdventureC. An Entirely New Experience D. EscapeCModern zoos are different from those built fifty years ago. At that time zoos were places where people could go to see animals from many parts of the world. The animals lived in cages with iron bars. Although the zoo keepers took good care of them, many of the animals did not feel comfortable, and they often fell ill.In modern zoos, people can see animals in more natural conditions. The animals are given more freedom in larger places so that they can live as they would in nature. Even the appearance of zoos has changed. Trees and grass grow in cages, and water flows through the places the animals live in. There are few bars; instead, there is often a deep ditch, filled with water, which surrounds a space where several sorts of animals live together as they would naturally. In an American zoo, the visitor can walk through a huge special cage that is filled with trees, some small animals and many birds, and large enough for the birds to live naturally. In a zoo in New York, with the use of special night light, people can observe certain animals that are active only at night, when most zoos are closed. Some zoos have special places for visitors to watch animals that live in the desert or under water.Modern zoos not only show animals to visitors, but also keep and save rare animals. For this reason, fifty years from now, the grandchildren of todays visitors will be able to enjoy watching these animals.44. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?A. American Zoos. B. Wild Animals. C. Protecting Animals. D. Modern Zoos.45. In modern zoos, _A. animals have more freedomB. animals are no longer taken good care ofC. different kinds of animals are kept separatelyD. visitors can walk wherever they like46. The biggest difference between modern zoos and zoos in the past is_.A. modern zoos are largerB. modern zoos have more animalsC. modern zoos provide natural living conditions for animalsD. modern zoos do not have keepers47. We can infer from the passage that_.A. a zoo in Now York is only open at night.B. Americans spent more money in building zoos 50 years agoC. zoos fifty years later will be different from what they are todayD. modern zoos play an important part in protecting rare animalsDThe world is becoming much smaller with modern transportation and means of communication. Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.Only people pollute the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up orthe river was dirty in one place, man moved to another place. But this is no longer possible. Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.Air pollution is the most serious problem. It is bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the cities, which puts dirty smoke into the air. Pollution by SO2 is now themost dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. We know that if there were fewer people driving, there would be less air pollution.The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means cleaning up the land, water and air. And we must take care of the rise in pollution at the same time.48. The world we are living is becoming smaller and smaller, because _.A. pollution is rising rapidly B. science is developing fastC. the earth is being polluted D. the earth is blown away by the wind every year49.

It does great harm to all living things in the world.第二节 阅读表达阅读下面短文，并根据短文后的题目要求进行简答。French people say that they can do without the sun but cannot _. The reason has to do with their dining culture. Dining is a very important part of life in France and it is natural to drink wine with every meal at noon or in the evening. Everyone drinks wine and during family meals even young children are given a small glass of wine-though with water added.Meals, especially family meals, are very important to the French. When it comes to dining the French way, the flavor of the meal, the relaxation and the conversation are all of equal importance. Wine, which is sipped (抿，呷) slowly, enhances the flavor of the food, slows down the pace of meal and makes communication more open. Meals in France may last hours, because everybody enjoys talking and laughing with one another as they sip wine.Being such an important part of the meal, the wine is carefully chosen. Every region of France produces its own kind of wine, some of which is named after the region. Two of these are Champagne (the very special sparkling white wine) and Bordeaux (red wine). To describe the tastes of different wines, you will find that you need to learn a special vocabulary. Wine flavors are described with words like dry, fruity, full-bodied, young, thin, grassy and nutty.Two hundred meters from the Eiffel Tower are the old cellars of Passy Abbey where the Paris Wine Museum is located. During the 14th century, monks there made a famous wine, which was much appreciated by the king. This charming museum relates the whole history of wines and vineyards (葡萄园).Wine was first produced in France 2,000 years ago, and modern France has been the worlds top producer and consumer of wine for a number of years.52. Fill in the blank in the first paragraph with no more than three appropriate words.53. What is this passage mainly about? ( using three words)54. Which word in paragraph 2 means “improves or makes something better or fuller”?55. What kind of information can people get from the charming museum according to paragraph 4?第II卷（非选择题, 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）此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。对标有题号的每一行做出判断：如无错误，在该行右边横线上划一个（）；如有错误（每行只有一个错误），则按下列情况改正：该行多一个词：把多余的词用斜线（）划掉，在该行右边横线上写出该词，并也用斜线划掉。该行缺一个词：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（），在该行右边横线上写出该加的词。The winter holiday is coming, which makes me very exciting.56. _I have been looking forward to relax myself and Id like 57. _to go fishing, climb high mountain and ride my bicycle.58. _I think I can play football or play the chess with my father59. _as well.
