Coming home from school that dark winter day so long ago, I was filled with excitement of having the weekend off. But I was 36 into stillness by what I saw. Mother, seated at the far end of the sofa, was 37 with the second-hand green typewriter on the table. She told me that she couldn’t 38 fast and then she was out of work. My shock and embarrassment at finding Mother in tears was a perfect proof of how 39 I understood the pressure on her. Sitting beside her on the sofa, I began very slowly to understand. “I guess we all have to 40 something,” Mother said quietly. I could 41 her pain and the tension of 42 the strong feeling that were interrupted by my 43 . Suddenly, something inside me lit up. I reached out and put my arms around her. She broke then. She put her face 44 my shoulder and sobbed. I held her 45 and didn’t try to talk. I knew I was doing what I should, what I could and that was 46 . At that moment, feeling Mother’s 47 with feelings, I understood for the first time her being easy to 48 . She was still my mother, 49 she was something 50 : a person like me, capable of fear, 51 and failure. I could feel her pain as she must have felt mine on a thousand occasions when I sought 52 in her arms.

A week later Mother took a job selling dry goods at half the salary the radio station __53 .

“It’s a job I can do, though.” She said simply. But the evening practice on the green typewriter continued. I had a very 54 feeling now when I passed her door at night and heard her 55 away across the paper. I knew there was something more going on in there than a woman learning to type.

第三部分　阅读理解 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)

请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的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

While others look away from trouble, this lady digs in and gets to work.

Gretchen Buchenholz, the native New Yorker and mother of six, has worked on behalf of needy and marginalized families for years in the city. She does everything from buy groceries for homeless families to start schools for children. In 1974 she founded Merricat’s Castle, a nursery school that opened its doors to kids of all racial and economic backgrounds, the able-bodied as well as those with disabilities or terminal illnesses.

She founded the Association to Benefit Children (ABC), the nonprofit group, some 20 years ago. The story of how she started ABC is pretty amazing. In 1984 she was on her way to a government office to get a day-care permit when, by accident, she entered a room where homeless families were waiting to be placed in a “ welfare hotel.” She saw three bare cribs (婴儿床) with babies lying in them. The children wore no diapers (their parents couldn’t afford them), and the room was filthy (不整洁). After talking to the parents and learning that they and their children were hungry, Gretchen marched out and bought bread, peanut butter, apple juice and diapers. Then she started making phone calls. She dialed the American Red Cross, City Hall and The New York Times.

Gretchen has made many people see that we need to recognize these children are not different from our own, and we need to join in and help. Too often, people look away from suffering. But she sets us an example that we should gain strength to do something about it.

56. She went to the government office ______.

A. to help those homeless people in the room

B. to apply for a permit for ABC

C. to call on the government to help those homeless children

D. to get permission to look after babies during the day

57. By “But she sets us an example that we should gain strength to do something about it.”, the

author means______.

A. Gretchen Buchenholz is a respectable woman

B. we should set up such organizations as the ABC to help those poor children

C. Gretchen Buchenholz gives us the strength to face suffering in life

D. we should do our bits to help those poor children

58. The children wore no diapers because______.

A. they had no parents

B. their parents were waiting for the government’s help

C. their parents had no money to buy diapers

D. Gretchen Buchenholz would buy diapers for them

59. We can infer from the passage that Gretchen Buchenholz______.

A. called up City Hall to get help for those homeless people

B. moved to New York at a young age

C. treats the children equally whether they are normal or disabled

D. starts schools for those homeless children

B

Can you do the math: What is one hundred times four，divided by the square root of a hundred? How can you work it out quickly?

The answer is forty. Years ago, three scientists at Texas Instruments, Jerry Merryman, James Van Tassel and Jack Kilby, invented the handheld electronic calculator. Their first device could add, subtract, multiply and divide and it was small and easy to take.

Yet after forty years, calculators in the classroom still add up to the same old debate. Generally calculators are considered to be useful——especially with more complex math. Some math teachers at every level support the use of calculators and students are even permitted to use them when they take college entrance tests. But it is also thought that young students should know basic calculation before they begin using them.

Some education experts think calculators are used too much. Children, they say, learn to depend on these electronic brains instead of their own. Calculators may not only give students answers to questions they do not really understand, they may also keep them from discovering ideas for themselves.

Other experts, though, say calculators have helped make mathematics more understandable to more students. They say calculators give students more time to understand and solve problems, and to develop a better sense of what numbers mean. That way, the reasoning goes, they can feel better about their abilities.

60. Which of the following calculation agrees with the question raised in the first paragraph?

A. B. C. D.

61. Three scientists at Texas Instruments invented .

A. the first electronic calculator B. the calculator handle

C. the portable electronic calculator D. the first calculator

62. We can infer from the passage that in the past.

A. math teachers supported using calculators everywhere

B. students were not allowed to use calculator in tests

C. using calculators in classrooms was under argument

D. young students had to know how to use calculators

63. According to experts, calculators benefit students in many ways EXCEPT .

A. providing them with answers to the questions

B. stopping them discovering ideas for themselves

C. making mathematics more understandable

D. developing a better feeling of their abilities

“English may be the global language of business but it is not enough by itself for companies to gain a lasting presence in many markets,” the European Commission (委员会) says in a study published last month.

The study collected by the British National Centre for Languages for the EU leader, says over 10 per cent of 2,000 small and medium-sized (中等规模的) firms in 29 European countries sampled (抽样) in the study have lost export contract (出口合同) because of lack of language skills. The study says French is used to trade with partners in Africa, Spanish in Latin America, and Russian in Eastern Europe.

“The picture is far more complex than the much-quoted view that English is the world language,” the study says.

Multilingual (多种语言的) Commissioner Leonard Orban admitted that English plays an important role worldwide, but he wants to improve more linguistic variety within the EU.

The EU’s linguistic headaches have exploded with the group’s expansion. Languages have become a sensitive topic in Brussels where English is increasingly eclipsing (侵蚀) French as the main working language of the organization. Translation of EU papers into EU’s 23 official languages costs 1 billion euros (US $1.31 billion) a year.

“We want to be open not only to official languages of the Union, but also to others like regional (区域的) languages, languages of minorities, immigrants’ (移民) languages and third countries’ languages,” Orband said.

Many EU students have improved their language skills during non-formal learning activities. Young people from more than 20 different nationalities travel across Europe to participate together in many cultural programmes, language courses, thematic workshops (主题研习会) and other activities that are organized in about 100 cities.

67. When did the European Commission say that English is not enough by itself for trade?

A. Last week. B. Last month. C. On Dec. 20, 2006. D. On Apr. 1, 2007.

68. Which language is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A. Japanese. B. Spanish. C. French. D. Russian.

69. What about English in Brussels?

A. Many people are studying English. B. English is not studied by university students.

C. Most of people are interested in Russian. D. English is increasingly eclipsing French.

70. What is the best title for the passage?

A. Don’t Ignore That Study

B. Pay much Attention to English

C. Do Study Many Languages besides English

D. The Other Language Is More Important than English

第Ⅱ卷（非选择题 两部分 共35分）

第四部分 任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。

注重：每空格1个单词。

Many people think a telephone is a necessity. But I think it is a pest (有害的事物) and a time waste. Very often you find it impossible to escape from it. If you have a telephone in your own house, you will admit that it tends to ring when you least want it to ring; when you are asleep, or in the middle of a meal or a conversation or when you are just going out, or when you are in your bath. Are you strong-minded enough to ignore it? You are not. You think there may be some important news or message for you. I can assure you that if a message is really important it will reach you sooner or later. Have you ever rushed crippling from the bath, or chewing from the table, or dazed from the bed, only to be told that you are a wrong number?

But you will say, you need not have your name printed in the telephone directory, and you can have a telephone which is only usable for outgoing calls. Besides, you will say, isn’t it important to have a telephone in case of sudden emergency—illness, accident, or fire? Of course, you are right, but here in a thickly populated country like England one is seldom far from a telephone in case of dreadful necessity.

I think perhaps I had better try to justify (证实是有理的) myself by trying to prove that what I like is good. I admit that in different circumstances—if I were a wealthy and powerful businessperson, for instance, or badly ill and had to lie in bed, I might find a telephone a necessity. But then if I were a taxi-driver I should find a car as necessity. Let me put it another way: there are two things for which the English seem to show particular talent: one is mechanical invention, the other literature. My own business happens to be with the use of words but I see I must now stop using them, for I have had just been handed a slip of paper to say that somebody is waiting to speak to me on the telephone. I think I had better answer it. After all, one never knows, it may be something important.
