While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone. The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries(食品杂货), saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live. I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before. People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity(人性)as a whole. And it has influenced(影响)us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting. 56.Why was the bike so important to the couple? A. They used it for work and daily life. B. It was their only possession. C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed. D. The man's job was bike racing. 57.We can infer from the text that ________. A. the couple worked 60 hours a week B. people were busy before Christmas C. the stranger brought over the bike D. life was hard for the young family 58.How did people get to know the couple's problem? A. From a stranger. B. From a newspaper. C. From TV news. D. From radio broadcasts. 59.What do the couple learn from their experience? A. Stangers are usually of little help. B. One should take care of their bike. C. News reports make people famous. D. An act of kindness can mean a lot. B Many animals recognize their food because they see it.So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat.Y ou can also use other senses when you choose your food.Y ou may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. Y ou may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense. Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda(大熊猫)eats only one particular type of bamboo(竹子). Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly(蝴蝶)will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet(多样化饮食). The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season. Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight,which is bad for their health.Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life. 60.We can infer from the text that humans and animals ________. A. eat entirely different food B. are not satisfied with their food C. choose food in similar ways D. depend on one sense in choosing food 61.Which of the following eats only one type of food? A. The white butterfly. B. The small bird. C. The bear. D. The fox. 62.Certain animals change their choice of food when ________. A. they are attracted by different smells B. the food color changes C. they move to different places D. the season changes 63.We can learn from the last paragraph that ________. A. food is chosen for a good reason B. French and British food is good C. some people have few choices of food D. some people care little about healthy diet C Our ―Mommy and Me‖ time began two years ago. My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down. ―I wish I could take one of my children out alone,‖said Christie. Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, I'll watch her other three. And when she watches two of mine, I'll take someone out. The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of ―Mommy and Me‖ time. Christie's daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. ―she's like a different child when there's no one else around,‖ Christie shared with me quietly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn't have to make an effort to gain attention. Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in.each of my children during our alone times. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering(口吃的)son, Tom, doesn't stutter once during our activities since he doesn't have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam who's always follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together. The ―Mommy and Me‖ time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child-talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves(应得到)to be an only child at least once in a while. 64.What is the text mainly about? A. The basic needs of children. B. The advantage of spending time with one child at a time. C. The happy life of two families. D. The experience of the only child being with mother. 65.Right after McKenzie came back, the other children were ________. A. happy B. curious C. regretful D. friendly 66.What is one of the changes the author finds in her children? A. Tom has less difficulty in speaking. B. Sam holds her hand more often. C. The boys become better followers. D. The daughter acts like a leader. 67.The author seems to believe that ________. A. having brothers and sisters is fun B. it's tiring to look after three children C. every child needs parents' full attention D. parents should watch others' children D Every year on my birthday, from the time I turned 12, a white gardenia was delivered to my house. No card came with it. Calls to the flower-shop were not helpful at all. After a while I stopped trying to discover the sender’s name and just delighted in the beautiful white flow er in soft pink paper . But I never stopped imagining who the giver might be. Some of my happiest moments were spent daydreaming about the sender. My mother encouraged these imaginings. She’d ask me if there was someone for whom I had done a special kindness. Perhaps it was the old man across the street whose mail I’d delivered during the winter. As a girl, though, I had more fun imaging that it might be a boy I had run into. One month before my graduation, my father died. I felt so sad that I became completely uninterested in my upcoming graduation dance, and I didn’t care if I had a new dress or not. But my mother, in her own sadness, would not let me miss any of those things. She wanted her children to feel loved and lovable. In truth, my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia----lovely, strong and perfect with perhaps a bit of mystery (神秘) . My mother died ten days after I was married. I was 22. That was the year the gardenia stopped coming. 68.Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Childhood Dream B. A Mother’s Love C A Graduation Party D. A Special Birthday 69. The mother insisted that her daughter go to the graduation dance because _______. A. she could take care of things herself B. She hoped she would find a boyfriend C. she wanted her to be happy and strong D. she thought education was most important 70. Who was the sender of the flower? A. A boy the writer had run into B. One of the writer’s neighbors C. One of the writer’s classmates D. The writer’s mother 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。No matter what type of business you run, it has to deal with things that go wrong from your customer’s point of view.

Indeed, reading novels takes up some of the time that should spent on lessons, but it’ll make us know what hard life is. Beside, by reading novels we can gain what we can’t learn from our textbook. Of course, reading novels has it’s shortcomings. Novels that have wrong ideas will make us do something wrongly. Maybe, in your eyes, the disadvantages of reading novels outweighs the advantages. And in my opinion, reading novels is just as another pair of eyes, which broadens my horizon. 假设你叫李华,你的一位朋友(英文名字叫John)刚从国外归来,邀请你参加本周日在他家举办的朋友聚会,但你不能参加,请你根据以下要点给他写一封电子邮件: 1.达想参加的意愿 2.忙于准备高考 3.由于感冒身体不适 4.表达歉意并另约时间。 注意:1. 可适当增加细节以使行文连贯。 2. 词数100左右。 提示:高考:the college Entrance Exam Dear John, _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ Y ours truly Li Hua 21-25 B D C A C 26-30 A B D A C 31-35 D B C B B 36-40 C D B C A 41-45 D B A B C 46-50 D A A C D 51-55 B A B D C 56-60 D D B D C 61-65 A A D B B 66-70 D C B C D 71-75 E G C B D 改错:1. which—that 2. should后加be 3. what—how 4.
