After years of experience, Brenda was faced with a challenge in Sunday School. However, she just didn’t know how to 21 it in a good way. She had never been asked to teach a child quite like Cindy.

Cindy, you see, was 22. She came from a broken family. And although she was really 23, she thought she was so bad that she could not be successful. In fact, Cindy needed care, and 24, Cindy needed love! There just had to be a way of 25 her. Day after day, Brenda would pray for Cindy, yet Sunday would come and go and she saw 26, if any, change.

Then, one day Brenda asked Cindy if she could 27 a role in a Christmas program the children were 28 to do, Cindy’s answer was, “ Don’t you think you can find someone better than me?”

“Better than you?” came Brenda’s 29. “What makes you think there is 30 better than you?”

“ Well, I’ve 31 been asked to do anything before because I’m no good, I won’t get the 32 right and then everyone will be mad at me for messing up(弄糟) their 33,” came Cindy’s answer.

“Oh, Cindy,” said Brenda in a/an 34 voice. “I am so 35 that you think that, but you are so wrong. Don’t you 36 how valuable you are?”

“No,” 37 a reply softly because Cindy was now in 38.

“But Cindy, in my eyes, you are special and you can also do something well like others,” Brenda said.

“Really? Do you really think so? Thank you, Miss Brenda! Nobody has believed in me like you. 39 I’ll have a try,” said Cindy as she 40 a hug(擁抱) from her teacher for the first time!

第二部分:閱讀理解(第一節(jié)20小題,第二節(jié)5小題;每小題2分,滿分50分)

第一節(jié): 閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項。并在答題紙上將該選項標號涂黑。

A

There are two kinds of people in the world. Those of the first kind are born idlers (游手好閑者), taking interest in nothing. It seems what they live for is to pass time idly. They simply don’t know why they have to do so, nor will they bother to ask. The other kind are those who take things seriously and never wish to idle away their life. But only a part of the second group are eager enough to make success. All the others fail to make enough effort to make their dreams come true. 

Why do things so happen to them? What are the reasons?

    I later find out that some people are determined. They are “ igniters” that catch fire of their own, giving light and heat. But that’s not the case with others. They may be fuels but not igniters. As pieces of wood or coal, they need a match or a lighter to make them burn so that their energy can be released to give off light and heat.

The majority of people need some igniter to light them. Thus igniter becomes a must for those people to succeed. Unless a suitable igniter comes their way, they will always remain idle like cold unused firewood or coal.

Fortunately, such an igniter is not difficult to meet. One may find it in an instructive book, a film story, a few words of a close friend, some advice of a good teacher, a pleasant journey, or an unexpected love.

Any of these, coming at the right time, can serve as an igniter to start one’s enthusiasm(熱情) for learning or for a better career, to turn him from a passive state of waiting to an active state of pursuing, to lend him strength to go ahead bravely. In that case, what he has prepared for years will be quickly turned into fruitful reality.

Such an igniter may turn up of itself, but most likely we have to find it ourselves. Never let a chance slide away, for it is the key to your success.

41. Who take things seriously but may not be able to succeed according to this passage?

     A. Idlers.                 B. Igniters.                 C. Fuels.                  D. Lighters.

42. What does the writer value most in order to succeed? 

     A. Storing a lot of energy.                         B. Great interest in everything.

    C. An igniter coming at the right time.      D. Wonderful dreams about a bright future.

43. What is the writer’s purpose in writing this article?

     A. The writer describes two kinds of people.

     B. The writer encourages people to find chances to succeed.

     C. The writer praises those who work hard.

     D. The writer tries to make fun of idlers.

44. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “pursuing” in the sixth paragraph?

    A. Dreaming about success.                       B. Trying to achieve something.

  C. Preparing for the worst.                       D. Hoping to be a leader.

B

Ten Chinese PhD students are demanding that Beijing Normal University Professor Yu Dan be away from her television show on CCTV 10. They argue that her on-air explanations of Confucius’s Analects (孔子《論語》) are “incorrect and misleading”.

Yu is known for explaining Confucius’s Analects to a TV audience. But some complain that her explanations are unfaithful to Chinese tradition.

But Yu doesn’t seem to worry too much about her critics, saying, “It’s a matter of personal choice. Some like KFC, while others like McDonalds.”

 

Stealing an online gamer’s password might seem less harmful than credit(信用) card theft. It does keep the victim(受害者) from wearing himself out all night playing. But it is not all that nice, says 19-year-old Zhang Qiwen, in Shanghai.

Last August, Zhang accidentally downloaded a Trojan while playing Warcraft. The Trojan is a type of virus(病毒) used by hackers(黑客) to steal people’s passwords. Overnight the Trojan transferred all the “gold” (game credits) from Zhang’s private account(賬戶) to an unknown account. Zhang hopes the police will find and punish the thief, who can also pocket some cash since the stolen “gold” can go on sale online.

 

New England’s largest indoor public garden has opened here in a historic park, and officials expect it to become a center for learning about plants as well as a top attraction for visitors.

The glass-walled Roger Williams Park Botanical(植物學的) Center, which opened March 2, offers a tropical garden, an orchid garden, and a Mediterranean room with a collection of citrus trees. The center also has two classrooms and will offer gardening classes provided by the University of Rhode Island.

Roger Williams Park, named for the city’s 17th-century founder, also has a zoo. The park already attracts more than 2 million visitors a year, and Providence Mayor David Cicilline said that he expects the new center will attract more and more visitors to Providence.

45. Which of the following statements is true?

   A. Confucius’ Analects is like KFC or McDonalds in China now.

   B. 19-year-old Zhang was angry because the hacker stole his “gold”.

   C. The Trojan is a new online game.

D. The garden was opened only to attract more visitors.

46. We can learn from the passages that ________.

   A. there are four gardens in Roger Williams Park Botanical Center.

   B. No one likes Yu Dan’s explanations of Confucius’ Analects.

   C. Yu Dan won’t show up on CCTV any more for explanations of Confucius’s Analects

   D. now some people make money by stealing online gamers’ game credits and selling them

47. Where is Roger Williams Park?

   A. It’s in England.                            B. It’s in Providence

   C. It’s in a botanical center.              D. It’s in a famous zoo.

48. You are very likely to read the passages in _________.

   A. a biology textbook                B. a fashion magazine  

C. a newspaper                     D. a book review(評論)

C

Don't go to Kauai. Go to any of the other Hawaiian Islands --- Maui, Lanai, the Big Island --- but leave Kauai for us. The weather on Kauai is so unpredictable(不可預測的) that sometimes it rains all day --- in fact, it's the second-wettest spot on the earth. Yes, there are giant double rainbows all the time, and the sunlight through the clouds is magical. But if you are not interested in these, go somewhere else. You just can't control the nature on Kauai, and who wants to surrender(屈服) to the nature when you could be at a fine hotel, lying in a comfortable chair next to a swimming pool, with food served upon request?

So what if Kauai produces surf champions the way Texas produces cowboys?Most of its 300 white-sand beaches are unmarked. Unless you connect with the local people, the hidden spots are hard to find. While Hanalei is the most beautiful town you've ever dreamed of, you can forget about discos and clubs. Worse, it doesn't have one single four-star restaurant. What it does have is the original drive through places where you pass by a rambutan tree(紅毛丹樹), and pick a piece of fruit.

Shopping in Kauai? Forget it --- unless you are interested in shell necklaces and beautifully carved wood bowls. Kauai is not about pampering(嬌養(yǎng)). It's about going natural and finding the nature within you. It's a do-it-yourself place that offers walking along the coast, diving and swimming in the Pacific Ocean, and lying on the beach.

Don't go to Kauai unless you have a lot of time, because there's only one road, which can be slightly dull. It winds through the beautiful scenery of waterfalls, rivers flowing into the ocean, and taro (芋頭) fields. You have no choice but to look at everything, because the speed limit is 35 m.p.h.

If you're not interested in color, don't bother with Kauai, because that's what you get --- red roads, blue oceans, and a hundred different shades of green. It's like diving on land. Many people on Kauai believe that this is Lemuria --- a lost island in the Atlantic. Can you imagine? Those Hawaiians, surfers, New Agers, and people who love nature and beauty and want a different quality of life --- what do they know, anyway? Forget about it --- you're not going to like it. Go somewhere else. Leave Kauai for us.

49. After reading the text, we come to know that it is _____.
A. a piece of shocking news                           B. an exciting story
C. an interesting introduction                     D. a moving advertisement

50. It can be learned from the text that _____.
A. Kauai is an island near the Hawaiian Islands  
B. Kauai is another name of the Hawaiian Islands
C. Kauai is one of the Hawaiian Islands
D. Kauai does not belong to the Hawaiian Islands

51. In the writer's real opinion, Kauai _____.
A. is not worth visiting at all                        B. is well worth visiting
C. is not a beautiful island                         D. is a dangerous island

52. Who would like to visit Kauai?
A. Those who love nature.                    B. Those who love city life.
C. Those who love the comfort in a fine hotel.    D. Those who love going shopping.

The 2006 World Water Week opened in Stockholm, Monday. The bad news is that a third of the world’s population, some two billion people, are already short of water. The water table is falling fast in heavily populated and poor areas of China, Mexico and India. If the present situation in water consumption(消耗) continues, these statistics(統(tǒng)計數(shù)字) will only worsen. But things do not have to be this way.

The main cause is agriculture. It takes roughly 3,000 litres of water to grow enough for one person for one day, or about a litre for each calorie. Demand for water will grow as the world’s population increases and as people eat more and more meat in particular. Raising livestock(家畜) requires more water, per calorie than growing crops. So the assessments(估計的數(shù)額) suggest that, by 2050, agriculture will consume twice as much water as it does now. Industry and domestic(家庭的) use, which now accounts for only a small part of water consumption, are also growing quickly. Global warming adds another layer of uncertainty and risk.

In theory, the world would still have more than enough water to feed everyone. But it might require much more food to be traded from wet parts of Europe, North American and Russia to hot and dry areas of Africa and Asia. Needless to say, poor farmers in those continents are in no position to pay for imports of food―and will become even poorer if their water runs short.

Traditionally, most countries tried to increase agricultural output through huge and expensive irrigation(灌溉) projects. But small investments(投資) in simple equipment, such as pumps to tap underground water, are faster to arrange, and return greater on capital(資本), and bring fewer environmental and social problems. And also, in Africa where agriculture relies mostly on rain for their crops, channels to gather and direct rainfall, and small reservoirs(蓄水池) or tanks to store it, would not only see them through dry seasons, but also allow them to gain bigger harvests out of the same fields. In that case, the global farming area would only have to rise 10% to meet rising demand for food―and there would be plenty of water to go round.

53.A possible title for the passage would be         .

      A. World Water Week: Bad News

       B. Water Shortage: Situation and Solution(解決)

       C. A Report on Water Shortage of the World

       D. The Problem of Future Water Consumption

54.The chief reason for the water shortage referred to in the passage is           .

       A. the rise of poor, developing countries   B. agriculture consumption

       C. global warming                        D. industry and domestic use

55.Which of the following is effective in solving water problem?

      A. To increase farming area as much as possible.

       B. To carry out big and expensive projects.

       C. To encourage small yet practical investments.

       D. To reduce water consumption in industry.

56.Which of the following best reflects(反映) the author’s attitude toward the water shortage problem?

       A. Concerned(關(guān)心) but hopeful.             B. Totally disinterested.

       C. Disappointed and upset.                      D. Highly optimistic(樂觀).

Have you ever dreamed of visiting a planet in the Milky Way(銀河系)? While the trip sounds exciting, it would take years and years to reach your destination. So in the future, bedtime for astronauts may be more than a few hours of regular shut eye. They would have to sleep for years.

European researchers are now conducting hibernation experiments. The study may help them understand whether humans could ever sleep through the years it would take for a spaceflight to distant planets. “If there was an effective technology, it could make deep space travel a reality,” said Mark Ayre of the European Space Agency last month.

What seems like a science fiction(小說) is not completely unlikely. Researchers have been able to use chemicals to put living cells into a sleep like state where they don’t age. They have now moved on to the small, non-hibernating mammals(哺乳動物) like rats.

A major challenge is the fact that cells can be very simple systems, whereas body organs are far more complex(復雜的). “It’s like moving from a simple Apple computer to a supercomputer,” said Marco Biggiogera, a hibernation researcher at Italy’s University of Pavia. Just like bears and frogs, the hibernation of human beings would cause a person’s metabolism(新陳代謝) to lower so they would need less energy.

Medical research, however, is just half of a spaceflight hibernation system. There is a challenge of designing a suitable protective shelter(棲身所). Such a shelter would provide the proper environment for hibernation, such as the proper temperature. It would also have to monitor(監(jiān)控) life functions and serve the physiological(生理的) needs of the hibernator.

According to Ayre, the six-person Human Outer Planets Exploration Mission(使命) to Jupiter’s moon(木星的衛(wèi)星) Callisto, could be an opportunity to use human hibernation. The mission aims to send six persons on a five-year flight to Callisto, where they will spend 30 days, in 2045.

57. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “hibernation” in the second paragraph?

  A. a long journey                      B. a living habit      

C. a long sleep                       D. an enjoyable travelling

58.According to the article, the hibernation research _______.

A. is just an idea                     B. is always a science fiction  

C. has already finished successfully     D. has made some progress

59.In a hibernating state, a person needs ________.

A. less sleep       B. more food       C. less energy   D. more movement

60.What is the best title of the article?

A. Hibernation study for space travel B. Welcome to our space travel

C. To hibernate, to live longer         D. Welcome to the Milky Way

第二節(jié):

第61至65題是有關(guān)五個人物的簡介。請閱讀關(guān)于這些人物的描述(A、B、C、D、E和F),選出符合人物簡介的最佳選項,并在答題卷上將該項涂黑。選項中有一項是多余選項。

______61. Frank Lloyed Wright did not call himself an artist. But the buildings he designed were works of art.

______62. Elijam Mccoy was a mechanical engineer. He invented a machine. The machine makes it possible for machines to put oil on themselves.

______63. Benzd Washington beat Hollywood favorite Russell Crowe to win the Beat Actor award. It is the first time that a black man had won the award since 1964.

______64. Baird was an electrical engineer. He sent the first television picture a few meters successfully.

______65. Garret A. Morgan was a fire engineer. He developed the safety hood(防護罩) and invented the first electric traffic signal.

A.      He was born in a black family in Canada and no one wanted to hire a black man as an engineer. So he took a job as a worker for the Michigan Central Railroad and oiled the movement parts of the machine. This was a hard job for him. Why couldn’t a train oil itself?

B.      Black performers have been almost absent on the big screen for years. This has been a criticism for a long time. Through the night, he presented the ceremony and highlighted the difference that skin color makes.

C.      He lived from 1869 to 1959. When he was young, there were no courses in architecture, so he went to work in an architect’s office and wanted to make his buildings fit into the land around them. All the people liked his fantastic designs.

D.      In 1922, he had no job and very little money. He worked with an old motor that he had found, a metal container, an old wireless telegraph, some needles, flashlight batteries and pieces of wood. He almost killed himself several times by touching the wrong wires.

E.     He was admired by millions and can afford all he could ever wish for. He has become a superstar. His naturally fair hair has replaced the dyed blond hair of his stage etc. He had a lot of fans.   

F.      He wanted to make something that would protect the people from being hurt. Sometimes people were killed by gas and smoke. In 1923, he made something else to help make the world safer for people when they crossed the streets.

One possible version:

Our country’s national holiday system could be readjusted. Some of the current three golden weeks might be canceled. Would you support this decision?

Some agree to adjust some of the golden weeks. During the golden weeks, trains, airports and scenic sports are unbearable because of the crowds. The big pressure on tourism during the golden weeks is also damaging the environment. Sometimes the golden weeks seem more tiresome than relaxing. While others disagree with it. They say the golden weeks give people a chance to relax and more and more people choose to go traveling. So they are popular with most people. At the same time, they promote consumption and benefit our country’s economy.

In my opinion, some of the three golden weeks should be cancelled or adjusted. And new public holidays, such as the Dragon Boat Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day and the Mid-Autumn Festival should be included in the national holidays. A more balanced national holiday system will not only benefit the economy, but also satisfy our needs.
