When I was younger , I thought 37 was very important to us as humans , so I said , “My ears , Mummy .” She said , “No. Many people are 38 . But

17、 you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon.”Several years passed before she asked me again . Since making my first 39 , I had often thought over the question . So this time I told her , “Mummy , it must be our eyes .”She looked at me and said, “You are 40 fast , but the answer is not

18、correct because there are many people who are blind.”41 the years , mother asked me a couple more42 and always her response to my answers was , “No, but you are getting 43 every year , my child.” Then last year , my Grandpa 44 . Everybody was heart broken . Everybody was crying . My mum looked at me

19、 when it was our 45 to say our final good-bye to Grandpa . She asked me , “Do you know the most important body part yet , my dear?”I was 46 when she was asking me this now . I always thought this was a 47 between her and me .She saw the 48 on my face and told me , “This question is very important .

20、It shows that you have really 49 your life.” I saw her eyes well up with tears . She said , “My dear , the most important body part is your 50 .” I asked , “Is it because they hold up your head?” She replied , “No , it is 51 on them a crying friend or loved one can rest their head . I only hope that

21、 you have enough 52 and friends that you will have a shoulder to cry 53 when you need it.” Then and there I understood the most important body part is not a 54 one .

24、读理解 (共20小题,每小题2分，满分40分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的选项A、B、C、D中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AAlthough many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good ,most would admit that their spoken English is poor .Whenever I speak to a Chinese student they always say, “My spoken English is poor.” However ,thei

25、r spoken English does not have to remain “poor” ! I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.First ,they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary .Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary. Howeve

26、r ,you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if your attitude is positive .Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.Second ,they are afraid of making mistakes. Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous .Yet students should remember t

27、hat their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly .However ,in speaking your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across ,to talk to someone in English ,as quickly and as

28、well as you can ,even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense ,but it doesnt matter because the person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening .You have one mouth but two ears!

29、 All that hearing was necessary for you to start speaking.Fourth ,most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners .Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why th

30、eir English always remains poor .If you have this proactive outlook ,then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.If you do not use your English beyond the classroom you will forget what English you know .Remember : USE IT OR LOSE IT! You can learn how to speak English better by speaking

31、English more.56What is most probably the writers purpose in writing the passage?ATo improve your reading.BTo improve your spoken English.CTo improve your listening. DTo improve your vocabulary.57It can be inferred from the third paragraph that .Adont be afraid of making mistakes .Just speak!Bdont be

32、 nervous ,dont be shy .Just write!Cdont be fluency .Just be accuracy Ddont be shy ,dont be fluency. Just listen and write!58The text is most probably taken from a .Ateachers diaryBreport on studyCsports newspaperDmovie magazine B We know that many animals do not stay in one place. Birds, fish and ot

33、her animals move from one place to another at a certain time. They move for different reasons most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded. When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in wa

34、rm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration（迁移）is probably the migration of the fish, which is called “salmon”. This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is old, it returns to its birthplace in fresh water. Then

35、 it gives birth and dies there. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mice. They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea. Recently, scientists hav

36、e studied the migration of a kind of lobsters（龙虾）. Every year, when the season of bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go. So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move f

37、rom one place to another, but at other times we dont. Maybe living things just like to travel.59.Most animals move from one place to another at a certain time to _ . A. give birth B. enjoy warmer weather C. find food more easily D. find beautiful places 60. The mice in northern Europe move when _ .

38、A. they give birth B. the weather is bad C. the place gets too crowded D. they havent enough food 61. The lobsters move _ . A. to the fresh water B. to the sea floor C. to find more food D. at a certain time 62. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Animals move in order to find food more easily.

39、 B. The migration of the fish called “salmon” is the most famous migration. C. Living things move from one place to another because they like to travel. D. Sometimes we know why and how living things move from one place to another but we dont sometimes.CMachines in the home have a short history. Sew

40、ing machines, washing machines and tumble dries are common enough today, but a hundred years ago few people could even imagine such things. However, inventors have designed and built a wide range of household machines since then. In most cases the inventor tried to patent（申请专利）his machine, to stop a

41、nyone copying it. Then he tried to produce a lot of them. If the machine became popular, the inventor could make a lot of money. In 1790 the first sewing machine was patented. The inventor was an Englishman called Thomas Saint. There was nothing to match his machine for forty years, and then someone

42、 built a similar device. He was a Frenchman, Bartelemy Thimonier. Neither of these early machines worked very well, however. It wasnt until 1846 that an inventor came up with a really efficient（高效的）sewing machine. He was an American, Elias Howe and his machine was good enough to beat five skilled se

43、wing women. He didnt make much money from it, however. The first commercially（商业的）successful sewing machine was patented by Isaac Singer five years later. Today, we take washing machines for granted, but there was none before 1869. The revolving drum（旋转桶）of that first machine set a pattern for the f

44、uture, but it was crude by todays standards. The drum was turned by hand, and needed a lot of effort. Eight years passed before someone produced an electric washing machine. The world had to wait even longer for a machine to dry clothes. The first spin-drier was another American invention, patented

45、in 1924; but it was 20 years before such machines were widely used. It was yet another American, called Bissell, who introduced the carpet sweeper. He patented the original machine back in 1876. It didnt pick up dirt very well, but it was quicker than a dustpan and brush. Thirty-six years later, eve

46、n the carpet sweeper was old-fashioned: modern homes now have a vacuum cleaner（吸尘器）with an electric motor to suck the dust. 63. Inventors patent the inventions so as to _ . A. produce more machines B. avoid being copied by others C. make the inventions more popular D. make more money 64. Whose sewin

47、g machine could do far more than the work that was done by five skilled sewing women? A. Thomas Saints. B. Bartelemy Thimoniers. C. Elias Howes. D. Isaac Singers. 65. According to the article, modern inventors _ . A. follow the pattern of the first revolving drum but improve it much B. only imitate

48、the first washing machine C. power the first ever-made washing machine by electricity D. have to wait for the first spin-drier for a long time 66. The underlined word “crude” in the sentence “but it was crude by todays standards”probably means _ . A. useless B. ugly-looking C. rough D. not skillfull

49、y made 67. The article mainly tells us about _ . A. the great inventors in the world B. the important inventions in the world C. the short history of household machines D. the importance of the machines used in the homeDThe high noise of modern life may affect speech and language development in the

50、very young,according to a study that found the auditory(听觉的)parts of the brains of young mice are slower to organize properly in the presence of continuous sounds. Researchers at the University of California,San Francisco,reared a group of rats in an environment of continuous background noise and fo

51、und that their brain circuits(电路)that receive and interpret(解释)sound did not develop at the same rate as animals that were raised in a quieter environment. Edward F. Chang and Michael Merzenich,co-authors of the study appearing in the journal Science,said that the continuous noise delayed the organi

52、zation of auditory neurons(神经细胞)during a critical two-to-three-week period after the rat pups were born. For rats not exposed to the noise,the auditory cortex(皮层)neurons during this period gathered into a smaller area and began developing a selective response to sounds. But for the noise-exposed rat

53、s,this organization was slowed,causing a delay in the development of the ability to discriminate(辨别)specific sound tones.The researchers said it took three or four times longer for the rats raised in a noisy environment to reach the basic bench marks(基准)of auditory development seen in the rat pups n

54、ot exposed to noises. Although the rat is not a perfect model for what happens in humans,the authors note,the study does suggest that high levels of noise might possibly affect some language learning in babies. “These findings suggest that environmental noise,which is commonly present in contemporar

55、y child-rearing environments,can potentially contribute to auditory and languagerelated development delays,” the authors wrote in Science. The authors noted that although the brain development was delayed in rats exposed to the noise,their brains did eventually mature(成熟的)normally.68.The scientists at California University studied rats_. A.of different age groups B.with different habits C.in different environments D.from different areas69.The rats exposed to noise,compared to those not expo
