But dont make mistake of thinking him 25 , with a pen and a paper, he can express himself better than anybody._26 people may fool you into overestimating (过高估计) their intelligence by 27_ a good front ( 外表 ). A student who listens 28 and takes notes in class is sure to make a favorable impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, he may score near the 29 of the class.It all boils down to this: you cant judge someone by appearance. The only way to determine (测定) a persons intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can see how he reacts to different situations. The more situations you see, the better your judgment is 30 to be. So take your time. Dont judge a book by its cover.21Atake Bact Cfollow Dbehave22AemotionsBminds CactionsDfeelings23AabilityBway CresearchDgift24Aspeechless Btalkative Cfluent Ddishonest25Aclever Bstupid Csmart Dwise26AOtherBSome CAll DFew27Asetting up Bmaking up Cputting on Dtaking up28Acarelessly Bdifficultly CindifferentlyDattentively29Atop Bfront CbottomDmiddle30Alikely Bpossibly Ccertainly Dprobably第二节 语法填空(共10小题；每小题1. 5分，满分15分)阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填人一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为3l-40的相应位置上。People who have lost the ability to understand or use words due to brain damage _31_(call ) aphasics(失语症患者). Such patients _32_ are mentioned here can be extremely good at something else. From the changing expressions on speakers faces and the tones of their voices, they can tell lies _33_ truths.Doctors studying the human brain have even compared this power to _34_ of a dog with an ability to find out the drugs _35_ ( hide ) in the baggage.Recently, scientists carried out tests to see whether all that was said about aphasics was true. They studied a mixed group of people. Some were normal while _36_ were aphasics. It was proved that the aphasics were far ahead of the normal people in recognizing false speeches - in most cases, the normal people were fooled by words, but the aphasics were not.Dr. Oliver Sacks mentioned a particular case in _37_ hospital. Some aphasics were watching the president _38_ ( give ) a speech on TV. Since the president had been an actor _39_ (early), making a good speech was no problem for him.But his way of speaking had the opposite effect on the patients. They didnt seem to believe him. Instead, they burst into laughter. The aphasics knew that the president did not mean a word of _40_ he was saying. 阅读理解 (共两节，满分40分)第一节 阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AYears after throwing a bottle-up note into a lake for a class project and just one year after his death, a mans childhood message was found and returned to his mother.Eleven years ago, a then 10-year-old boy, Joshua Baker, wrote the message, folded and put it in an empty container, his mother, Maggie Holbrook said. He died last February in a motor vehicle accident in California. He had recently returned after a serving in the Middle East as a US marine ( 水兵 ).“ I think he was just letting us know he was Ok and keep doing what we are doing ,” Holbrook said.The message surfaced in White Lake in late April, just days after the 11th anniversary of its being thrown into the lake. It was found by one of Bakers closest friends, Steve Lieder, she said. Lieder and two friends were chatting near the lake when Lieder looked down and saw the bottle. He broke it open and found the note inside.“My name is Joshua Baker. I am 10. If you find this, put it on the news. The date is 4/16/95.”They immediately took it to Holbrook, who said she is now having the note preserved and will display it in her home.She can remember when her son wrote the message for the school project. She said she always wondered why he didnt put it in the nearby Wolf River, which has a much stronger current（水流）.“I still remember the day he wrote it,” Holbrook said. “ I couldnt understand why he threw it in the lake. No one would never see it again. Now I know.”41What was Joshua Baker when he died in motor vehicle accident in California?AAn official BA soldier CA worker DA teacher42Who found the bottle according to the passage?AJoshua Bakers mother BA fishermanCJoshua Bakers friend DJoshua Bakers mothers friend43What does the underlined sentence mean?AThe mother believes his son is still living with her in the house.BThe mother thinks his son will come to see her one dayCThe mother thinks its foolish to throw the note in the lakeDThe mother thinks the bottle is her sons gift only left to her after his death44Which of the following statements is correct according to the passage?AThe man threw the bottle into the lake without any purpose.BThe man didnt put the bottle into the nearby river because it had a strong current.CNot until recently did his mother understand why he put the bottle into the lake instead of the nearby river.DThe man made the bottle-up note so as to let his parents know he was OK.45The best title for this passage would be _.AA mans Bottle Message Found After His DeathBA Ridiculous and Unbelievable Bottle MessageCA Strange Bottle-up Note Appearing In a LakeDAn Important Childhood Message 11 Years After His DeathBForgiving someone who has hurt you or let you down is never an easy thing. Several new studies, however, say that it could have a lot of health benefits. When you think of forgiveness, you probably dont think of it as being a health or medical problem. Studies from Stanford University, on the other hand, show that something like anger can change your well-being.When cartoon book characters like the Incredible Hulk get angry, they change colours and often gain special power. In the real world, anger is less obvious and may be more dangerous. Thats why Professor Fred Luskin, founder of the Stanford Forgiveness Project and author of Forgive for Good, says holding on to anger and hatred can harm your physical and mental health. Two new studies seem to show the same idea.The studies find that people who are able to forgive feel less stress, less back pain, and less depression. They also have fewer headaches, lower blood pressure, and fewer problems on sleeping.So it doesnt matter if your anger is caused by the traffic or other things. Learning to let it go is important. Techniques such as deep breath or thought can help. Or just ask yourself if its worth hurting yourself by staying angry with someone else.Forgiveness does not mean that you simply accept what happened and say its OK. Instead, its a way of making peace with yourself about what happened in the past.46. The author of the passage tries to make his viewpoint clear _.A. by raising his own examples B. based on his own experienceC. by mentioning some studies D. by mentioning some typical patients47. The example of the cartoon book characters is taken in the passage to_.A. support the viewpoint that anger and hatred harm physical and mental healthB. introduce a famous expertC. let the reader know the different colours of cartoon facesD. show how to control ones temper48. The underlined phrase “holding on to” in this passage possibly means“_”.A. removing B. keeping up C. getting rid of D. learning about49. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in this passage?A. People who are able to forgive feel less stress.B. People who are able to forgive feel less depression.C. People who are able to forgive have fewer problems on sleeping.D. People who are able to forgive feel less tired.50. The best title for this passage is probably _.A. Forgiveness B. Forgiveness Is Good for HealthC. A Secret to Keeping Health D. Anger Is Bad for HealthCDogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals. They will spoil your house, destroy your belongings, bark excessively, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing. The key to preventing or treating behavior problems is learning to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior to outlets（出路） that are acceptable in the domestic setting.One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to obedience train (驯服) it. Obedience training doesnt solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem. Training opens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do.Training is also an easy way to establish the social rank order. When your dog obeys a simple request of “come here, sit,” it is showing obedience and respect for you. It is not necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the dog pack (群) by using extreme measures. You can teach your dog its subordinate (从属的) role by teaching it to show submission to you. Most dogs love performing tricks for you to pleasantly accept that you are in charge.Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable. A well-trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal.51. Behavior problems of dogs are believed to _.A. be just part of their nature B. worsen in modern societyC. occur when they go wild D. present a threat to the community52. The primary purpose of obedience training is to _.A. teach the dog to perform clever tricksB. make the dog aware of its owners authorityC. provide the dog with outlets for its wild behaviorD. enable the dog to regain its normal behavior53. Effective communication between a dog and its owner is _.A. essential to solving the dogs behavior problemsB. the foundation for dogs to perform tasksC. a good way to teach the dog new tricksD. an extreme measure in obedience training54. Why do pet dogs love performing tricks for their masters?A. To avoid being punished. B. To show their affection for their masters.C. To win leadership of the dog pack. D. To show their willingness to obey.55. When a dog has received effective obedience training, its owner _.A. can give the dog more rewards B. will enjoy a better family lifeC. can give the dog more freedom D. will have more confidence in himself第二节 信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）请阅读下列广告和相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号（56-60）的相应选项字母涂黑。首先，请阅读下列广告：A Kid-Tough Digital CameraProduct: J8209Ages: 3 years & upPrice: $70.00Heres a real digital camera thats tough enoughand easy enoughfor kids to use.
