I managed to get into my woollen snow pants.But I struggled with my jacket because it didn’t fit well.It was a hand­me­down from my brother，and it made me wonder why I had to wear his ugly clothes.At least my hat and matching scarf were mine，and they were quite pretty.Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots.In her calm，motherly voice she said，“By the end of winter，you will be able to put on your own boots.” I didn’t realize at the time that this was more a statement of hope than of confidence. I handed her my boots and stuck out my feet.Like most children，I expected the adult to do all the work.After much wiggling and pushing，she managed to get the first one into place and then，with a sigh，worked the second one on too. I announced，“They’re on the wrong feet.” With the grace that only experience can bring，she struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again.Then I said，“These aren’t my boots，you know.” As she pulled the offending boots from my feet，she still managed to look both helpful and interested.Once they were off，I said，“They are my brother’ s boots.My mother makes me wear them，and I hate them！” Somehow，from long years of practice，she managed to act as though I wasn’t an annoying little girl.She pushed and shoved，less gently this time，and the boots were returned to their proper place on my feet.With a great sigh of relief，seeing the end of her struggle with me，she asked，“Now，where are your gloves？” I looked into her eyes and said，“I didn’t want to lose them，so I put them into the toes of my boots.” 36．According to the passage，the little girl got________from her brother. A．the woollen snow pants and the jacket B．the jacket and the boots C．the jacket and the hat D．the boots and the gloves 37．What made it so hard for the teacher to help the little girl put her boots on? A．The gloves in the toes of the boots. B．The slowness of the teacher. C．The wrong size of the boots. D．The unwillingness of the girl. 38．It can be inferred that before the little girl finally went out to enjoy the first snow of winter， the teacher had to help her put on her boots________. A．once                                        B．twice C．three times                                  D．four times 39．Which of the following sentences from the text best indicates that the teacher is very considerate? A．In her calm，motherly voice she said，“By the end of winter...”( Paragraph 2) B．With the grace that only experience can bring，she struggled to...(Paragraph 4) C．...she still managed to look both helpful and interested.(Paragraph 4) D．...she managed to act as though I wasn’t an annoying little girl.(Paragraph 4) B An increase in students applying to study economics at university is being attributed to the global economic crisis awakening a public thirst for knowledge about how the financial system works. Applications for degree courses beginning this autumn were up by 15% this January，according to UCAS，the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service.A spokesman for the Royal Economic Society said applications to do economics at A level were also up. Professor John Beath，the president of the society and a leading lecturer at St Andrews University，said his first year lectures—which are open to students from all departments—were drawing crowds of 400，rather than the usual 250. “There are a large number of students who are not economics majors，who would like to learn something about it.One of the things I have done this year is to relate my teaching to contemporary events in a way that one hasn’t traditionally done，” he added. University applications rose 7% last year，but there were rises above average in several subjects.Nursing saw a 15% jump，with people’s renewed interest in careers in the public sector(部门)，which are seen as more secure in economic crisis. A recent study showed almost two thirds of parents believed schools should do more to teach pupils about financial matters，and almost half said their children had asked them what was going on，although a minority of parents felt they did not understand it themselves well enough to explain. Zack Hocking，the head of Child Trust Funds，said，“It’s possible that one good thing to arise from the downturn will be a generation that’s financially wiser and better equipped to manage their money through times of economic uncertainty.” 40．Professor John Beath’ s lectures are________. A．given in a traditional way B．connected with the present situation C．open to both students and their parents D．warmly received by economists 41．Careers in the public sector are more attractive because of their________. A．greater stability                          B．higher pay C．fewer applications                        D．better reputation 42．In the opinion of most parents，________. A．economics should be the focus of school teaching B．more students should be admitted to universities C．the teaching of financial matters should be strengthened D．children should solve financial problems themselves 43．What’s the main idea of the text? A．Universities have received more applications. B．Economics is attracting an increasing number of students. C．College students benefit a lot from economic uncertainty. D．Parents are concerned with children’ s subject selection. C A volcanic eruption in Iceland has sent ash across northern Europe.Airlines have stopped or changed the flights across the Atlantic Ocean，leaving hundreds of passengers stuck in airports. Grimsvotn is one of the largest and most active volcanoes in Europe.What makes Grimsvotn different is that it lies under a huge glacier(冰川) of ice up to 12 meters thick.The hot volcano heats up the ice above it，which then forms a layer of water between the glacier and the volcano.This layer of water puts pressure on the volcano，keeping it stable.As the water flows out from under the glacier，the pressure lifts.The lava from the volcano then comes up to the surface.This is exactly what happened today. Now，airlines have to make changes to their flights so as not to fly through the clouds of volcanic ash.According to KLM，one of Europe’s biggest airlines，airplanes cannot go under the cloud or over it.Going through the cloud can result in ash getting stuck in the airplane’s engines，causing damage to the plane. The eruption has also caused problems for animals in Iceland.The volcano left ash and sharp glass like rocks all over the countryside.Farmers are keeping their animals inside to stop them from eating ash covered grass or the sharp objects. 44．What makes Grimsvotn different from other volcanoes? A．It is below ice. B．It lies under the sea. C．It is the largest volcano. D．Its lava affects the airlines. 45．What keeps Grimsvotn still? A．The slow flow of water. B．The low water temperature. C．The thick glacier. D．The water pressure. 46．Which of the following is the result of the volcanic eruption? A．People stop traveling in Europe. B．Airlines suffer from the loss of planes. C．It becomes dangerous for animals to eat outside. D．Farmers have lost many of their animals. 47．This text is most probably taken from________. A．a research paper B．a newspaper report C．a class presentation D．a geography textbook D Tens of thousands of theatre tickets will be given away to young people next year as part of a government campaign to inspire a lifelong love for theatre. The plan to offer free seats to people aged between 18 to 26—funded with ￡ 2.5 million of taxpayers’ money—was announced yesterday by Andy Burnham，the Culture Secretary.It received a cautious welcome from some in the arts world，who expressed concern that the tickets may not reach the most underprivileged. The plan comes as West End theatres are enjoying record audiences，thanks largely to musicals teaming up with television talent shows.Attendances reached 13.6 million in 2007，up 10 percent on 2006，itself a record year.Total sales were up 18 percent on 2006 to almost ￡ 470 million. One theatre source criticized the Government’ s priorities(优先考虑的事) in funding free tickets when pensioners were struggling to buy food and fuel，saying，“I don’t know why the Government’s wasting money on this.The Young Vic，as The Times reported today，offers excellent performances at cheap prices.” There was praise for the Government’s plan from Dominic Cooke of the Royal Court Theatre，who said，“I support any move to get young people into theatre，and especially one that aims to do it all over England，not just in London.” Ninety­five publicly funded theatres could apply for funding under the two­year plan.In return，they will offer free tickets on at least one day each week to 18 to 26­year­olds，first come，first served.It is likely to be on Mondays，traditionally a quiet night for the theatre. Mr.Burnham said, “A young person attending the theatre can find it an exciting experience，and be inspired to explore a new world.But sometimes people miss out on it because they fear it’s not for them.It’s time to change this perception.” Jeremy Hunt，the Shadow Culture Secretary，said，“The real issue is not getting enthusiastic children into the theatre，but improving arts education so that more young people want to go in the first place.For too many children theatres are a no go area.” 48．Critics of the plan argued that________. A．the theatres would be overcrowded B．it would be a waste of money C．pensioners wouldn’t get free tickets D．the government wouldn’t be able to afford it 49．According to the supporters，the plan should________. A．benefit the television industry B．focus on producing better plays C．help increase the sales of tickets D．involve all the young people in England 50．Which of the following is TRUE about the plan? A．Ninety­five theatres have received funding. B．Everyone will get at least one free ticket. C．It may not benefit all the young people. D．Free tickets are offered once every day. Ⅳ.阅读填空 Have you ever seen any students whose trousers hang so low that you can see their underwear？What do you think of that？Fashionable？Some of today’s teenagers are big fans of such a look.__51__ The headmaster of a school in central Italy has asked students to stop wearing low­rise jeans that expose underwear and parts of the body.His request came after a class trip，when he saw one boy’s baggy trousers slide to his feet.__52__ But in Italy，a nation that takes fashion very seriously，the suggestion caused a debate among parents，teachers and students.The issue is whether the headmaster’s request will limit students’ freedom—or whether dress in Italian schools is too casual. __53__“We do not want to kick fashion out，” the headmaster explained，“but extremes (极端) of fashion like this are not right in school.” Many other schools have now requested that their students also stop wearing such trousers. __54__Ludovica Gaudio,14，wore extremely low trousers exposing orange underwear in class.It was cold，so she wore a matching orange scarf.__55__“I don’t really feel comfortable in those sort of jeans，” said Sarah Lattanzi，“in winter，when dressed like that，it’s quite cold and I am afraid my stomach will ache.” A．But recently this trend has been at the center of an argument in Italian middle schools. B．A parents’ group praised the move in favor of good taste，while others advised schools to stop worrying about fashion and fix up old school buildings. C．He pointed out that this way of dressing is not suitable for school. D．Most students have simply ignored the request. E．Another 14­year­old said she would probably respect the request，simply for practical reasons. F．Let us see that Italian students react differently to schools’ requests. G．Schools should pay attention to things more important than students’ clothes.

Traditionally，we admire the virtue of plain living and hard struggle.So the importance should be placed on diligence.Meanwhile，responsibility is also on the top.To shoulder some heavy responsibilities，we must keep a style of plain living and hard struggle.In addition，responsibility means honesty and justice. Everyone must assume a set of responsibilities.For example，we students must take the responsibility for pursuing the academic performance.Everyone must take on his/her own responsibilities and be devoted to his/her own position. Unquestionably，diligence and responsibility are most important among the six virtues for us students.And we will never succeed without them.
