My father would not be home that Christmas Eve. He was in the Army serving overseas. My motherand I worked all afternoon making tree decorations. The kitchen table was crowded with stars made of shiny paper. We were going to get the Christmas tree in the evening, when the prices for them usually dropped.After sunset, we walked four blocks to a parking lot where they sold Christmas trees.“How much is your cheapest tree?” My mother asked the man standing at the entrance. He held his gloved hands over the fire. “Thirtydollars, miss.” Her smile disappeared, “Nothing for less?” The man picked up a small tree branch and dropped it into the fire. “I just work here. I cant change the price.” The sudden melancholy（忧郁）in my mothers face made me sad. The man looked down at me for what felt like a long time; it probably was only moments. He pointed at a pile of branches in the corner. “Behind it is a tree that we cant sell. You can have it for free.” “Thank you, sir,” I said.There it was, a thing just a little taller than me. It had few branchesalmost a ghost（幽灵）of a tree. My mother asked, “Can we take some of these branches?” He waved his arm. “Take it all if you want to, miss.”We headed back home. We set the tree in the living room. I couldnt imagine how we could hang many decorations on such a tree. She was smiling again, “Go to sleep now, son. Santa will decorate the tree for us.”I woke at dawn and rushed into the living room. To my amazement, the tree had a beautiful natural shape. The decorations shone in the morning light. My mother had somehow fixed branches to the tree trunk. A few weeks later, my father returned. When I told him about the tree, tears filled the eyes of that strong soldier. Since then, I have seen many wonderful holidays. That Christmas remains as my favorite.21. Why did the mother decide to get the tree in the evening?A. She wanted to buy it at a lower price.B. She was fully occupied during the day.C. She was waiting for the father to pick it up.D. She had made an appointment with the seller.22. How did the son feel when he spotted the tree behind the branches?A. Disappointed.B. Delighted.C. Frightened.D. Relieved. 23. What brought the father to tears?A. The pain of his war wound.B. The efforts his wife put into the tree.C.The reunion with his family.D. The decorations his son made for the tree.BTo Friend or Not to FriendWe all love our parents and turn to them when were in need, but would you like them to hear the conversations you have with your friends on the school playground or lunch queue? Social networking sites have become extensions of the school hallways, so would you add your parents as “friends” and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends?In the past the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were up to date with latest technology and parents were left behind, content to continue their day to day lives as they always had because they had no need to know more about technology. However, more and more parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the motivation to educate themselves about social networking sites.These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them; theres also a certain amount of control over privacy that we dont get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated when we must accept a “friend” request from a parent or family member.Its a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our online lives. On the one hand we dont want to “reject” their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide. On the other hand if you do accept, then you could have a sense of being watched and no longer feel free to comment or communicate the way you did before.A recent survey suggested that parents shouldnt take it personally if their child ignores their request: “When a teen ignores a parents friend request, it doesnt necessarily mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to be independent.”Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the blow if you do choose not to add them to your friends list. 24From Paragraph 2, we learn that _.Aparents feel secure about their privacy onlineBsocial networks successfully fill the generation gapCparents have realized the importance of social networksDsocial networks offer a platform for parents to communicate25Teenagers may refuse a parents friend request because _.Athey hide something from their parentsBthey are unwilling to be watched by parentsCtheir parents tend to fall behind in technologyDtheir parents make negative comments on them26The passage is mainly about _.Aprivacy onlineBsocial networksCthe generation gapDparents friend requestsCFar from the traditional image of a culture of aggressive masculinity (阳刚) in which students either sink or swim, the absence of girls gives boys the chance to develop without pressure to conform (符合) to a stereotype, a US study says.Boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to conform to the “boy code” of hiding their emotions to be a “real man”.The findings of the study go against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls.Tony Little, headmaster of Eton, warned that boys were being faded by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls. He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls. The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when their female peers do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.But in single-sex schools teachers can tailor lessons to boyslearning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote the studys author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia.Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with specifically “boy-focused” approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because boys generally have more acute vision, learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given “hands-on” lessons where they are allowed to walk around. “Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine (女性的) and prefer the modernstyle in which violence and sexism are major themes,” James wrote.Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel they had to conform to a stereotype that men should be “masterful and in charge” in relationships. “In mixed schools boys feel forced to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means,” the study reported.27. What does Tony Little say about the British education system?A. It makes girls less emotional than boys.B. It fails more boys than girls academically.C. It fails to give boys the attention they need.D. It places more pressure on boys than on girls.28. According to Abigail James, boys perform better in single-sex schools because _.A. boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested inB. boys focus more on their lessons without being disturbedC. teaching quality is relatively higher than in mixed schoolsD. teaching can be designed to suit the characteristics of boys29. Which of the following is NOTcharacteristic of boys?A. Boys have sharper vision.B. Boys enjoy being in charge.C. Boys like “hands-on” lessons. D. Boys prefer physical activities.30. What is mainly discussed in the passage?A. Problems boys may have in mixed schools.B. Boys physical and mental growth in school.C. Advantages of single-sex education for boys.D. Boys disadvantages over girls in mixed schools.第2节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）第3节 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Amanwasdrivingat70milesina40-mile-zone,whenapolicecarcamebehindhimwiththelighton.31_Asthepolicemancametohim,hesaid,Hi,officer,Iguessyoucaughtmealittlebitoverthelimit.Iwasinarushtogethome,tobewithmywifeandkids,youknowmyyoungersonwasntfeelingtoowellwhenIlefthomethismorning.Thepolicemansaid,Well,Iguessso,andstartedwritingsomethinginhisnotebook._32.Afewmomentslater,thepolicemancametohiswindowandhandedhimapaper,andreturnedtohiscarwithoutsayingasingleword.Themanstartedtowonder,howmuchthisticketwasgoingtobeashebegantolookatthepaper._33_Ihadadaughterwhowaskilledbyaspeedingcarattheageofsix,byaspeedingdriverlikeyou.Hegotafine,afewmonthsinprison,andwasfree,freetohugtwootherdaughters.34_Ihavetriedtoforgivethatmanathousandtimes,andIthoughtIhad.MaybeIreallydidforgivehim,butIhavetodoitagain,evenrightnow._35_Themanwasverysurprisedandcouldnotmoveforthenextfewminutes.Whenfinallyhedid,hedroveslowly,evenafewmilesunderthespeedlimit,prayingforforgiveness.A.Soprayforyou,andbecarefulwhenyoudriveagain,yourdaughterisallyouhaveleft.B.IonlyhadoneandnowIhavetowaituntilIgettoheavenbeforeIcanhugheragainC.Rightawaythemanstartedthinkingofexcusetogive.D.Hewassurpriseditwasnotaticketashebegantoread:E.Soprayforme,andbecarefulwhenyoudriveagain,mysonisallIhaveleft.FAsminuteswentby,hecouldseefromthesideviewmirror,thepolicemanwasstillwriting.G.Hewassurpriseditwasnotaticketbutareceipt(收据).第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（，和）中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。I have lived in rural America for nine years, first in Michigan, where I got my PhD; then in central Illinois and now in Indiana, where I am a professor.
