I noticed twelve beautiful roses delicately presented on the table next to her bed. They looked exactly like the 47 on my dinning room

19、 table in front of my oversized window. With a pleasant smile, she told me Jimmy brought them to her as a “get-well gift”. Suddenly Jimmy 48 out of his seat in an instant and said that he had to go home for a while to do some homework but he promised to be back to 49 up on Ms. Sullivan.Talking for a

20、 while, Ms. Sullivan began to get very tired so I gave her my phone number in case she 50 needed help, and left her home.

People there were all busy buying their last minute requirements. I needed to buy a birthday card for my son-in-law whose birthday is the 29th of

25、 December. Picking up a few more things as well as my cared I went to join the line for the express checkout which was for people who only had a few items in a basket and not a trolley load. This line was next to the Customer Service desk.Seemingly waiting quite a long time, I was jogged out of my t

26、houghts by a voice behind me making comments on the things I bought.It was so funny when I realized that she was describing the contents of my basket. The owner of the voice was a very pretty young lady. I said to her that I was going to buy a box of Christmas cookies but the only ones left were not

27、 to my liking. The lady told me that just opposite Cockhedge in Superdrug they had lots of cookies. I said, “Im not going to bother now. I had enough of shops and Im going home.”The assistant from the Customer Service came across at this time saying “If there is anyone in the line with a few items i

28、n their basket, none of which needed to be weighed, I will check out their groceries at the desk.” Because I had the sprouts which needed to be weighted, the young lady accepted the offer and walked away waving goodbye.Eventually my turn came at the checkout. I was walking away when I met my new fri

29、end once again who handed me a beautiful box of Christmas cookies. With a big hug she said “Hope you have a lovely Christmas.” She had been into Superdrug to buy me the cookies while I was still queuing in Cockhedge.What a generosity to a stranger! I was so surprised you could have knocked me down w

30、ith a feather. My Good Samaritan would never know what a joyful Christmas day I had with my family. Telling them this story, as we ate around the table, kept everyone spellbound.56The underlined word “spellbound” in the last paragraph probably means . AinterestedBdisappointedCastonishedDfrightened57

31、Which of the following could be the best title of the story?AA Piece of Lucky FeatherBA Surprise Christmas GiftCThe Boring Shopping ExperienceDThe Unforgettable Big Hug58How does the writer feel about the pretty young lady?AWorried.BSatisfied.CGratefulDProud.59What can we learn from the story? ANobo

32、dy is sure what will happen the next moment.BA simple action can bring other people happiness.CBeing patient will decrease the waiting time.DLife without hope and faith is a full thing.BCount Me OutCall me old-fashioned. Call me old. Call me what you want, but refuse to become part of this new Inter

33、net world.I do not possess a computer at home or at the office. Actually, I stopped going to an office 35 years ago, when all communications were done with a pen, a typewriter, or, if the matter was of world-shaking importance, over the telephone. Likewise, if you like something advertised in a news

34、paper or magazine, you visited the shop selling it at the given address, or you phoned, the number shown. Then you spoke to the fellow and asked for further details.Tell me what you think of the following ad that appeared the other day in the newspaper. It was for a cure for cancer and this is what

35、it said: “Awareness is the key. Visit spfulford. com at the awareness site.” There was no address or telephone number for the site. So what do unfortunate people without a computer do it they are seeking a cure for their illness?There are, I am told, certain advantages in having access to the Intern

36、et. You can, for example, send love messages across the world or even get married to someone that you meet online. This bit doesnt interest me; I have been happily married for 60 years. There are, of course, other activities for Internet users besides finding love. They can pay bills, order grocerie

37、s, or discuss with their doctors.And this is by no means all. More amazing things are yet to come in the near future. I read a newspaper report recently that quoted Stephen Hawking, an important British scientist. “The complexity of a computer as it exists today is probably less than the brain of an

38、 earthworm,” he said. “But, as technology advances, computers will become more complex, and a time may come when the Internet may develop consciousness. In other words, the Internet will be able to think, have feelings, and may well be able to act on its own.”If Professor Hawking is right, I may cha

39、nge my attitude about conjurers. As I grow older each day, I would like one of those that not only thinks for me but also accepts responsibilities for all my mistakes.60Whats the meaning of the title “Count Me Out”?AGet me out of the Internet world.BComputers are trying to take control of life.CMode

40、rn technology pushes old people away.DDo not expect me to be a supporter of the Internet.61According to Paragraph 2, the author thinks computers are .AunnecessaryBconvenientCexpensiveDadvanced62What might the author like about the future computer?ATaking blames.BCuring illnesses.CDelivering messages

41、.DResponding to emotions.CWeve all seen them: perfectly toned famous people on late-night television telling us that we too can develop rock-hard abdominal muscles（腹肌）. Its easy! Just pay $149.99 for the Torso Track or $149.75 for the Ad-Doer and watch those unwanted inches leave your waist. America

42、ns spend tens of million of dollars on various products to firm up their fat around the waist.And did they work? Not necessarily. Independent studies have concluded that most of these products-no matter who approved them or how expensive they are-shape your midsection no better than old-fashioned st

43、omach crunches（仰卧起坐）. Some can even cause injury-like the $518.99 Body Shaper-Q8SP, which left electrical burns on some researchers at the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse. Others, like the popular Ab-Doer, trpically burn less energy than a gentle walk, according to a study to be published in Sept

44、ember by the American Council on Exercise.The fact is that many Americans dont have the biological makeup to develop an obvious abdominal muscles. They are either unable to get the necessary muscle mass or they cant lose enough fat to make a difference. Even if the underlying muscles are well develo

45、ped, and it takes to hide it is one-sixteenth of tan inch of fat. Thats enough to dismiss most healthy women as well as plenty of guys who do crunches every day.So what works best? In its new study, the exercise experts researched on the results of the popular Ab-Doer. A lengthy TV advertisement pro

46、mises that just 10 minutes a day performing such movements as “Body Boogies” and “Good Mornings” will “help form those muscles the fun and easy way without diets.” Steven Loy, professor at California State University, Northridge, tested the promise by measuring the electrical activity produced by th

47、e abdominal muscles during three Ab-Doer movements. He and his colleagues then compared the results with those produced during traditional exercises. They determined that the muscles were no more active, and in some cases less so, when exercisers were using the Ab-Doer.Taking a broader approach, res

48、earchers at San Diego State University compared 13 abdominal exercises for their ability to develop the central abdominal muscles. They concluded, in a report published in May, that the most effective exercises kept turning the body and worked the muscles the entire time. Among the winners: the bicy

49、cle movements-so called because it looks as if you are riding a bike while lying flat on the floor-and exercises performed on the “Captains Chair”, a product typically found in gyms that helps hold the body in the air while you raise your legs up toward your chest. Researchers suggested that a varie

50、d routine of the different exercises could deliver the best results.63Which of the following is the most effective in building abdominal muscles? ATorso Track.BAb-Doer.CCaptains Chair.DBody Shaper-Q8SP.64According to the author, its difficult for many Americans to get visible firm abdominal muscles

51、mainly because .Athey do not put in enough effortsBinjuries interrupt their exercise frequentlyCthey change their exercise routine regularlyDhow big their muscles will be is determined by birth65The author convinces the readers by .Adescribing successful easesBoffering professional connectsCpresenti

52、ng findings of researchesDcomparing advertisements of products66Whats the main purpose of this passage?ATo research and develop in order to create the perfect stomach and exercise machine.BTo promote proven exercise techniques and to advise against false advertisements.CTo indicate that diet and exe

53、rcises are necessary factors for a fit midsection.DTo sponsor rich healthy lifestyle based on advanced product research.DDestiny and Personal ResponsibilityOne important variable affecting communication across cultures is destiny（命运）and personal responsibility. This refers to the degree to which we

54、feel ourselves the masters of our lives, contrary to the degree to which we see ourselves as subject to things outside our control. Another way to look at this is to ask how much we see ourselves able to change and act, to choose the course of our lives and relationships. Some have drawn a parallel

55、between the personal responsibility in North American settings and the view itself. The North American view is vast, with large spaces of unpopulated land. The frontier attitude of “King” of the wilderness, and the expansiveness of the land reaching huge distances, may relate to generally high level

56、s of confidence in the ability to shape and choose our destinies.In this expansive land, many children grow up with a heroic sense of life, where ideas are big, and hope springs forever. When they experience temporary failures, they encouraged to redouble their efforts, to “try, try again.” Action,

57、efficiency（效率）, and achievement are valued and expected. Free will is respected in laws and enforced by courts.Now consider places in the world with much smaller land, whose history reflects wars and tough struggles: Northern Ireland, Mexico, Israel, Palestine. In these places, destinys role is more

58、 important in human life. In Mexico, there is a history of hard life, fighting over land, and loss of homes. Mexicans are more likely to see struggles as part of their life and unavoidable. Their passive attitude is expr4essed in their way of responding to failure or accident by saying “ni modo”(“no

59、 way” or “tough lick”), meaning that the failure was destined.This variable is important to understanding cultural conflict. If someone believing in free will crosses paths with someone more passive, miscommunication is likely. The first person may expect action and accountability. Failing to see it

60、, he may conclude that the second is lazy, not cooperative, or dishonest. The second person will expect respect for the natural order of thins. Failing to see it, he may conclude that the first is forcible, rude, or big headed in his ideas of what can be accomplished or changed.67The author thinks t

61、hat ones character is partly determined by .Aphysical sensesBgeneral attitudeCfinancial backgroundDgeographic characteristics68According to the passage, Mexicans would think that Americans are .AimpracticalBdishonestCambitiousDhesitant69The underlined word “subject” in Paragraph 1 probably means .Aa

62、 topic of a discussionBa branch of knowledgeCa person being experimented onDa person under the power of others70The author would probably agree that .Avast land may lead to a more controllable desireBheroic sense of life roots deeply in a small countryCliving in limited space contributes to an accep

64、cat behavior suggests that the major reason for this behavior is communication. By scratching up the bark of a tree (or the leg of your favorite chair) the cat is letting other cats or people know where she is and what she is up to.Cats tend to pick a small number of noticeable objects in their envi

65、ronments to scratch such as trees, fence posts repeatedly. 72 The scratched surface leaves a highly visible mark that can be easily seen by other cats. In addition, cats have special glands （腺）in their paws so that when they make scratching movements they leave scent（气味）that the cats can smell. The

66、fact that cats leave scent marks by making scratching movements may be the reason that cats will continue to scratch objects even after they have been declawed. 73 We dont know exactly what cats are communicating with their scratching. Both males and females do it. It is done inside and outside the

67、home and even by cats living with no other cats around. 74 Cats dont scratch up your furniture to bother you or just to be destructive, but for specific reasons, one of which is communicating. Cats also scratch to extend their bodies, during play, and possibly as a greeting or to relieve dissatisfac

68、tion when prevented from doing other things they want to do. 75 It is easier to prevent problem scratching rather than trying to change your cats preference for the arm of your sofa after it has become a built up habit. Thus, the goal is to establish acceptable scratching habits by getting your cat

69、to prefer a scratching post rather than the arm of your sofa.AIt turns out that this is only a secondary reason.BThis is why the tree next door looks so scratched up.CCats use other parts of their bodies to communicate as well.DSmall pieces of bark have accumulated on the ground underneath.EScratchi

70、ng can result in considerable damage, owner dissatisfaction.FDeclawed cats may still be leaving scent marks on objects they scratch.GIt could be a defensive warning or just a marker that announces its existence.第四部分：书面表达（共两节，35分）第一节：情景作文（20分）假设你是红星中学高中学生李华，最近，你校学生会对影响学生课外阅读的因素进行了调查，结果见下图。请根据图示提供的信息给某英文报纸写信，反映调查的实际情况，并寻求建议。注意：1信的开头已为你写好。2词数不少于60。Dear Editor,Our student union has recently conducted a survey on what may affect students outside-class reading.
