Miss Finlayson, my kindergarten teacher , had been through first snow days many times, but I think she may still remember this one.I managed to get into my wool snow trousers . But I struggled with my jacket because it didnt fit well. It was a hand-me-down from my brother, and it made me wonder why I had to wear his ugly clothes, At least my hat and scarf were mine , and they were quite pretty. Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots（靴子）.In her calm, motherly voice she said. “By the end of winter, you will all be able to put on your own boots.” I didnt realize at the time that this was more a statement of hope than of confidence（信心）.I handed her my boots and stuck out my foot. Like most children, I expected grown-ups to do all the work. After much pushing, she managed to get the first one into place and then, with a sigh, worked the second one on too.I announced, “They re on the wrong feet.”She struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again.“Theyre my brother s boots, you know ,” I said .“I hate them”.Somehow, from long years of practice , she managed to act as though I wasnt an annoying(烦人的) little girl. She pushed and pushed, less gently this time. With a great sigh, seeing the end of struggling with me, she asked ,“Now ,where are your mittens(连指手套)？”I looked into her eyes and said, “I didnt want to lose them, so I hid them in the toes of my boots.46.Tht little girl was more satisfied with her_.

Today, however, presidents depend on writers such as J. Terry Edmonds to help them communicate (交流) effectively. Edmonds is the first African American ever to work as a full-time speechwriter for a U.S. president; he is so the first African American to serve as director of speechwriting for White House. His is an all-American story of success.Edmonds grew up in Baltimore, Maryland; his father drove a truck, and his mother worked as a waitress. A great reader ,Edmonds showed a gift for writing at his high School, Baltimore City College. Aftergraduating in 1967. Edmonds went on to Morgan State University.Edmonds began his career in business, with jobs in public relations and communications. He joined the world of politics as news secretary for his congressman(国会议员) fromBaltimore During Bill Clintons presidency, he worked speeches for Health and Human Services Secretary Donna Shalala and worked in a number of job in the White House and in governmental departments. President Clinton then appointed(任命)him to the office of directory of speechwriting. Following the 2000 elections Edmonds returned to Morgan State University as the schools special assistant to the presidentfor 2001-2002.50.

A , popular science B. historical events C. successful people D, Political systems C “Old wives tales” are beliefs passed down from one generation to another. For example, most of us remember our patents telling us to eat more of certain foods or not to do certain things. Is there any truth in these teachings? Some of them agree with present medical thinking, but others have not passed the test of time. Did your mother ever tell you to eat your carrots because they are good for your eyes? Scientists now report that eating carrots can help prevent a serious eye disease called Macular degeneration. Eating just one carrot a day can reduce the possibility of getting this disease by 40% . Garlic(蒜) is good for you, too. It can kill the type of virus that causes Colds. Unfortunately, not all of moms advice passed the test of medical studies. For example, generations of children have been told not to go swimming within an hour of eating. But research suggest that there is no danger in doing so. Do sweets cause tooth problem? Well, yes and no. Sticky sweets made with grains tend to cause more problems than sweets made with simple sugar. Even though science can tell us that some of our traditional beliefs dont hold water, there is still a lot of truth in the old wives tales. After all, much of this knowledge has been accumulated (积累) from thousands of years of experience in family health care. We should respect this body of knowledge even as we search for clear scientific support to prove it true or false53. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text？A. Eating garlic is good for our eyesB. Sticky sweets are damaging to our teethC. Swimming after a meal is dangerous。D.

Gift giving proven to be valuable.B. Memories from gift givingC. Moments and events for gift givingD. Various functions of gift givingE. Gift giving as a wasteful practiceF. Gift giving as a two-way social activityGift Giving61. There are many occasions（场合） for giving gifts in modern industrialized societies; birthdays, naming ceremonies, weddings, anniversaries, New Year. It is common to give gifts on many of these celebrations in western cultures. In addition, special events, such as one s first day of school or graduation from university, often require gift giving.62. What is happening when we give gifts? Most important, we are exchanging gifts. If someone gives me a gift for my birthday, I know that I am usually expected to give one on his or her next birthday. A gift builds up or confirms a social obligation.（义务）.63. Gifts tighten personal relationships and provide a means of communication between loved ones. People say that a gift lets the recipient（接受者） know we are thinking of them, and that we want to make the person feel special. We want people to feel wanted, to feel part of our social or family group. We give presents to say Im sorry. Sometimes it is difficult for us to find a present that someone will like. Sometimes we give things that we like or would feel comfortable with. In all these cases, the gifts are sending out messagesoften very expressive ones.64. People tend to talk about presents in a fairly loving way. A woman whose mother had died years ago described the many gifts around her house .These were gifts that her mother had given her over the years: I appreciate these, and they mean something to me, the woman said. “Because I remember the occasions they were given on, and that they were from my mother, and the relationship weve had. The gifts remain and keep the relationship alive in mind. This woman felt the same way about the gifts she gave to others. She hoped that the recipients would look at her gifts in years to come.65. Emotions(情感)like these suggest that a positive spirit still lies behind gift giving. They prove that the anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss was wrong to say that modern western gift giving is highly wasteful. Studies in Canada and elsewhere have also shown that this is not the case. Each gift is unique even if so many are given. The emotional benefit for those who exchange gifts is the very reason for the tradition to continue.第三部分写作（共三节，满分55分）第一节单词拼写（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）根据下列各句句意和空白之后的汉
