Early in the morning, I was taken in a nylon bag into a truck. I felt horrible as well as 36 .

What would she do with me? She was almost made after the 37 of her husband.

A few minutes later, I heard the truck 38 its engine and move fast. I kept making sounds to show my protest, but failed to make any 39 .

Finally she put me down in a 40 place. Maybe she didn’t want me to die from lack of air; she untied the bag.

I 41 out and looked up, only to see many strange faces and fingers pointing at me.

It turned out that my owner meant to 42 me. I saw my owner on the truck, which was going farther and farther. So I cast my head 43 the direction of the truck: The days we spent together were like a movie playing in front of my eyes as I ran after the truck. I saw my male owner. Who suffered liver cancer, look at me with his sad eyes. I saw myself 44 my owner everywhere; I saw him lie in his dying bed, she all 45 .

I ran as fast as I could. And the 46 I saw her wave to me, my eyes became wet. I wouldn’t blame her for treating me like this for she was such a(n) 47 lady. She seemed even somewhat 48 at his leaving her alone, trying many ways to 49 the pain of losing him. She 50 his pictures and clothes, she redecorated the whole house. Now I was the only 51

thing to remind her of him. 52 later, I am pretty sure that she would realize how mad she was to do this…

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Parents should stop blaming themselves because there’s not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.

I’ve seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawlig himself(懒散地躺) on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. “I don’t know what to do with him these days,” she said. “He’s forgotten all the manners we taught.”

He hasn’t forgotten them. He’s just decided that he’s not going to use them. She confessed(坦白) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.

Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say, “I don’t like your dress it’s ugly.” One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home.

“Where did we go wrong?” their parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much. At least, no more than the rest of that unfortunate race, parents.

56．This text is most probably written by _________.

A．a specialist in teenager studies B．a headmaster of a middle school

C．a parent with teenage children D．a doctor for mental health problems

57．The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to __________.

A．the change from good to bad that’s seen in a child

B．the way that parents often blame themselves

C．the opinion that a child has of his parents

D．the advice that parents want their children to follow

58．The boy on the sofa would most probably be described as ________.

A．lazy B．quiet C．unusual D．rude

59．From the second example we can infer that the parents of the two daughters __________.

A．pay no attention to them. B．are too busy to look after them

C．have come to hate them D．feel helpless to do much about them

60．What is the author’s opinion about the sudden change in teenage children?

A．Parents have no choice but to try to accept it.

B．Parents should pay still more attention to the change.

C．Parents should work more closely with school teachers.

D．parents are at fault for the change in their children.

B

In the past ten years, America’s National Basketball Association (NBA) has grown increasingly dependent on the rest of the world to supply players.

When Michael Jordan and Larry Bird won gold in Barcelona in 1992, the Americans were praised for teaching the world how to play basketball. This season, however, 20 percent of NBA rosters will be filled by non-Americans. NBA commissioner David Stem happily embraces the trend. On a visit to Paris in October, Stern outlined his vision for the future, which is likely to see Europe hosting NBA games by 2010.

The NBA is now planning to take China by storm.

“Our experience in China has been that it is going to be explosive in its growth,” said Stern. The strategy in China is television. “We’ve made 14 deals in China with local and national networks on cable and satellite.” The success of Chinese center Yao Ming has paved the way for the NBA marketing blitz in China. The NBA, which is broadcasted in more than 200 countries in 42 languages, will put that to the test in October 2004 when the Houston Rockets play two pre-season games against the Sacramento Kings in Beijing and Shanghai. The NBA knows that it needs a global market to compensate for tough times on home soil.

“It doesn’t matter where the players come from, all the NBA teams now know that they have to scout internationally,” said Terry Lyons, the NBA’s vice-president of international public relations. “It has increased the level of competition here.” As Frenchman Tony Parker and Argentine Emanuel Ginobili showed in winning championship rings with the San Antonio Spurs last season, many people can earn the respect of their American peers. Other, such as the Houston Rockets’ Chinese center Yao Ming－number one draft pick in 2002－and the Detroit Pistons’ 18-year-old Serb Darko Milicic－number two overall in this year’s draft－are icons in-waiting. It is the ultimate revolution－the rest of the world teaching the US how to play basketball.

61．According to the report, __________.

A．Michael Jordan is still playing a very important role in NBA

B．the part played by the foreign players in NBA will be great

C．Yao Ming is to play two pre-season games in NBA

D．European countries will host the 2004 NBA games

62．The underlined phrase “take China by storm” has the meaning of ____________.

A．NBA intends to make China its “marketing center”

B．NBA is planning to set up some training centers in China

C．there’ll be a big storm when NBA comes to China to play against the Sacramento Kings

D．the NBA’s live basket games will be broadcasted on all the TVs in China

63．What seems to be the biggest change that is happening to NBA?

A．NBA is expecting more foreign players to join the league.

B．China’s rapid development in sports affects NBA.

C．Yao Ming has taken the place of Michael Jordan.

D．The NBA will stop teaching the world how to play basketball.

64．When the writer talked of “home soil”, he was referring to ___________.

A．farms in the States B．native Americans

C．the NBA training center D．the USA

65．Which of the following can be used as the best title for the passage?

A．The Non-American Basketball Players

B．NBA Is Coming to China

C．The Foreign Ties That Bind the NBA

D．NBA Is Making Big Progress

C

The North and South poles are remote and freezing places that receive lots of animal visitors but few human tourists.

But even if you never plan to visit the polar bears in the north or penguins in the south, now is a perfect time to start thinking about them. That’s because 2007 marks the beginning of the International Polar Year (IPY), a two-year-old activity of science projects that aim to show how important the poles are to the health of our planet. During the IPY, which will last until March 2009, thousands of researchers from more than 60 countries will conduct more than 200 projects and expeditions to both the top and bottom of the world.

In recent years, the polar regions have begun to change severely as a result of global warming. Temperatures there are rising faster than anywhere else on Earth. As a result, the ice and snow in these regions are melting at record-setting rates. One result is that sea levels are rising around the world, putting animals and people at risk.

Only by studying the poles, say IPY researchers, can we find ways to protect them and ourselves.

Both the Arctic and the Antarctic and cold and remote, but the two regions have important differences. For one thing, the Arctic is an ice-covered ocean surrounded by land. The Antarctic, on the other hand, is a continent of ice-covered land surrounded by water.

Most polar studies have focused on the Arctic, and that is where scientists have observed the most remarkable changes in the ice. During a typical year, Arctic ice expands in the winter and shrinks in the summer. But recently, the amount of ice covering the ocean has been steadily dropping in both seasons.

66．Which of the following might be the best tile of the passage?

A．Earth’s Poles Interest Scientists

B．The Animals of Earth’s Poles

C．Earth’s Poles in Danger

D．The Discoveries of Earth’s Poles

67．The goal of the International Polar Year is __________.

A．to make it clear that the poles have much to do with a healthy earth

B．to provide practical theory to further develop this distant area

C．to cal on as many scientists as possible to do research on the poles

D．to discover more mysteries unknown to man

68．What is the main factor that has caused the changes of the poles?

A．The increasing number of animals.

B．The development of the poles.

C．The melting of the poles.

D．The rising temperature.

69．The main idea of the fifth paragraph probably is ___________.

A．to explain the poles are cold and remote

B．to show the Arctic is more important

C．to tell readers the differences of the two poles

D．to stress the Antarctic is more remarkable

70．What unusual phenomenon worries the scientists?

A．In summer the ice of the Arctic loses faster.

B．The ice covering the Arctic decreases even in winter.

C．The ice of the Arctic increases less than in the past.

D．The changes in the Arctic are more serious.

D

People who studied plants have found that plants carry a small electrical charge(电荷). It is possible to measure this charge with a small piece of equipment called “galvanometer”. The galvanometer is placed on a leaf of the plant, and it records any changes in the electrical field of the leaf. Humans have a similar field which can change when we are shocked for frightened.

A man called Backster used a galvanometer for his studies of plants and was very surprised at his results. He found that if he had two or more plants in a room and he began to destroy one of them－perhaps by pulling off its leaves or by pulling it out of its pot－then the galvanometer on the leaves of the other plants showed a change in the electrical field. It seemed as if the plants were signaling a feeling of shock. This happened not only when Backster started to destroy plants, but also when he destroyed other living things such as insects.

Backster said that the plants also knew if someone had destroyed a living thing some distance away, because they signals when a man who had just cut down a tree entered the room.

Another scientist, named Sauvin, achieved similar results to Backater’s. he kept galvaometers fixed to his plants all the time and checked regularly to see what were sending. In this way, he found that the plants were sending out signals at the exact times when they felt strong, pleasure or pain. In fact, Sauvin could cause a change in the electrical field of his plants over a distance of a few miles imply by thinking about them.

71．What was Backerster’s discovery?

A．Plants carry galvanometer.

B．It is possible to measure a small electrical charge with a small piece equipment called “galvanometer”

C．The small electrical charge on the leaves of the other plant can change if he destroyed the leaves on one of the two plants.

D．Humans have a similar field which can charge when we are shocked or frightened as plant.

72．Backster was surprised at the result of his studies because __________.

A．he destroyed an insect

B．he destroyed a plant by pulling off his leaves

C．he found that plants seemed to express feelings of shock

D．he found that plants could move and speak after all

73．The plants sent out signals ____________.

A．only when Backster started to destroy plants.

B．when Backster destroyed plants or other living things

C．only when he destroyed things such as insects

D．only when Backster placed the galvanometer on the leaves of the plants

74．The scientist called Sauvin __________.

A．did not agree with Backster’s ideas

B．did not get any results about the electrical charge

C．got different results from Backster’s

D．found out some of the same things that Backster did

75．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）

阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注重问题后的字数要求）。

Confidence: you’ve either got it or you haven’t, right? Wrong. Most people learn confidence as they go through life.

Even if you are shaking like a leaf on the inside, you’ll make a lasting impression if you can come across as confident. Here are some confidence-building tips:

Fake(伪造) it! If you can pretend that when you don’t and keep on doing so, your fake confidence will soon turn into real confidence. It only takes a few repetitions of an activity for it to become a habit - so get in the habit of faking self-belief.

Think it. For an instant encouragement to yourself – esteem (自尊心), recall three things that give you positive emotions. It could be a great compliment(称赞) somebody paid you, a special time when you felt happy and popular, or when you really excelled(超过别人) at something. Bring them to mind will help you to feel good instantly - and when you feel good, you have greater confidence.

Focus it. Difficult situations, such as interviews or new jobs, can make you feel shy. If you’re feeling anxious about yourself, stop thinking about you and focus on something else. It could be that you focus on something normal, like the view out of the window, or that you pay more attention to the task at hand - getting the job! Either way, you'll feel less awkward.

Talk it. If you keep telling yourself that you're no good at something, you’ll start to believe it. Next time you blame yourself, ask yourself whether you'd talk to your friends like that. So quit being negative and start recognizing and appreciating the things you are good at.

Walk it. Great posture(姿势) can signal great confidence. Walk with a purposeful stride(大踏步), walk with your back straight and with your head held up high!
