Their story began in 2000, when Haixia, who was already blind in his right eye, lost his left one after an illness．Wenqi lost his arms in an accident when he was just three．Neither could find a job, so the two decided to team up．They rented some poor land and began to plant trees．In return, the local officials paid them a small fee．Haixia and Wenqi never imagined that they would end up creating an environmental paradise．Their forest now has over 10,000 trees, hundreds of birds and many other wild animals．In addition, it saves the village from river flooding during the rainy season．When the friends work together, they focus on their strengths not their disabilities．Their day begins at 7 a．m． when the sightless Haixia carries Wenqi across the river to get to their worksite．Since they cannot afford to buy young trees to plant, the two use branches from existing trees．Haixia climbs to the tree-top and with Wenqi’s direction, selects the perfect branch．He then digs a hole and carefully plants it．Finally Wenqi waters the area． Though hard-working, the men don’t make much money．But as Wenqi puts it, “We stand on our own feet, so the fruits of our work taste sweeter．” Neither Haixia nor Wenqi cares about money．Together, they already have everything they need --- a perfect pair of eyes, two strong hands, and the best friendship in the world! 49．Why did Haixia and Wenqi start working together?

A．Never give up and you will succeed． B．We should help the disabled to work． C．Try your best when facing difficulties． D．We can achieve more with teamwork． (D) It seems to be strange to you there is a blind spot(盲点) on the eyes．Here is an interesting experiment that can make something disappear when one eye is open． Make a card about the size of a postcard and write two English letters L and R on it, L on the left and R on the right．First , hold the card about 80cm away and you see both the letters．Then close your right eye and look at the letter R only with your left eye．And now, as you move the card slowly towards you, you’ll find the letter L disappearing．But if you move the card nearer to your face, the letter will be seen again．Now do the same experiment with your left eye closed , you’ll find the letter R disappearing． Why does the letter disappear? It is because there is a blind spot on the eye．When the image(影像) of the letter falls on the blind spot , it won’t be seen．That is why either of the letters disappears． 53．The writer of the passage thinks that there is a blind spot on the eye． A．few people know B．no one knows C．most people know D．all the people know 54．You fail to see the letter L in the experiment because ． A．Your eyes are poor B．Its image falls on the blind spot C．Your left eye is not open D．You move it close to your eye 55．In which order should you do the experiment ?

Words like ‘thank you’, ‘please’ and ‘sorry’ can work wonders in our daily life．These polite expressions are used every day in American—among strangers, between friends or with family． 57 ． 58 ．What should you do when you receive a gift for your birthday? You’d better sit down and write a thank-you letter．We say them when someone hands us a letter, passes us a book, offers us a bottle of water, or lends us an umbrella． ‘Please’ is another important word, but many people often forget to say it．It is not polite to ask someone for help without saying ‘please’． 59 ． It may be a book, a pen, or more milk．It may be in the classroom, at home, or at the bus stop． We can use ‘please’ to make a．request． We should also learn to say sorry．We should say sorry if we have hurt someone’s feeling．When we have told a lie and regret it, the same word should be used．Sometimes we have forgotten something or broken a promise, so we need to explain with the word as a beginning．‘Sorry’ is such a word that can make people forget wrongs． ‘Thank you! Please! Sorry!’-these words are simple but useful． 60 A．The words ‘ thank you’ are very important and used very often． B．People with good manners always communicate with others well by using these magic words． C．Man said them long ago． We use them now． So will our kid． D．We are supposed to use it when we ask for something, too． 57．_______ 58．_______ 59．_______ 60．_______ 第II卷（非选择题，共50分） 第4部分 英语知识运用（二） (共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分) 从方框中选择单词，并用其正确形式填空，然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上。每词限用一次。 ( qu ick into arrive before she wife one   a   fall     send ) A couple decided to go on a holiday.

Sometimes music and stories go together. Some songs tell stories. If you’ve sung “Billy Boy”, you’ve sung a story. Sometimes music without words can also seem to tell a story. The sounds can almost make you see pictures in your mind. Some music can make you imagine good people, bad people, singing birds, ships at sea and even the broom’s（笤帚）marching （进行曲）. What is brooms marching? That is part of the story told in a famous piece of music for orchestra （管弦乐队）by a Frenchman named Paul Dukas. The music is called The Sorcerer’s （魔法师的）Apprentice（徒弟）. When you hear the music for The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, you can imagine what’s happening. The quiet-sounding music makes you think of what the sorcerer is doing. Later, when it’s his apprentice’s turn, the music changes into a kind of funny little march, which helps you to imagine how a broom might walk! But then something goes wrong with the apprentice. He can’t make the broom stop! It keeps filling the bucket（桶）with water and bringing it back and watering the floor. 71.
