We had little money and few goods, but plenty of 16 and attention. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he or she could still 17 a dream. My dream was to be a super sportsman. By the time I was, I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball and 18 anything moving on the baseball field. I was lucky to have my senior high school coach Jarvis, who not only believed in 19 , but taught me how to believe in myself. One special event with my coach 20 my life forever. It was the summer holiday in Senior Two and a friend offered me a summer 21 . This meant a chance for pocket money, certainly, money for a new bike and the start of saving for a 22 for my mother. This job seemed exactly 23 I had expected and I didn't want to miss it. Then I realized I would have to 24 summer baseball training for the summer job. I was afraid to tell my coach, but thinking of the money I could make 25 me to tell him. After hearing my words, he was as 26 as I expected him to be. " You have your whole life to work," he said," 27 your playing days are limited. You can't afford to waste them. " I stood before him with my head hanging, trying to tell him the reason. "How much are you going to make at this job, my boy?" he asked, "$1. 25 per hour," I replied. "Well," he said. "Is $1. 25 an hour the 28 of a dream?" That question made me 29 the difference between wanting something right now and having a long-term goal. I threw myself into baseball training that summer, and within the year I was offered a scholarship to the University of Arizona, where I could have higher education and more professional training. 30 , I signed with a famous baseball team in 1962 for $1. 5 million, and bought my mother the house of my dream.

B Antioxidants(抗氧化剂) in coffee are thought to help protect against stroke—but too much must raise blood pressure, which increases the risk, according to Japanese researchers. Similarly, green tea could also be beneficial for preventing the shocking event, caused when a blood vessel(血管) in or serving the brain is blocked(阻碍). The study looked at the drinking habits of more than 61,000 healthy adults, aged 25 to 52, whose health was tracked for 11 years on average. They found that people who drank at least one cup of coffee a day had about a 20 per cent lower risk of stroke, compared to those who rarely drank it. To get an equal effect, about four cups of green tea a day were required. All results were adjusted to take into account differences between the groups in age composition, gender, smoking, alcohol, weight, diet and exercise. Dr Yoshihiro Kokubo, lead author of the study, published in the journal Stroke, said, “The regular action of drinking tea and coffee, largely benefits cardiovascular(心脏血管的) health.” Their results for coffee were similar to that of “study of studies”, presented at a European conference, which found that one to three cups a day was associated with a 12 per cent reduction. For three to six cups, there appeared to be a similar but weaker association, but there was no benefit from drinking six or more. Exactly why coffee and green tea appear to lower stroke risk is unclear, although antioxidants are thought to be at work. However, the science is by no means cut and dried. Caffeine raises blood pressure, and there have been indications that too much coffee can raise stroke risk because of this. Dr Dale Webb, from the Stroke Association, said, “We welcome this study which suggests that the benefits of antioxidants in coffee and green tea may offset the potential harm from caffeine.” He thought the results show higher consumption of green tea and coffee might reduce the risks of stroke. “We would like to see further research to understand these findings,” he said. ( )34. What may lead to a stroke according to the first paragraph? A. Blocked blood vessels in the brain. B. Drinking a cup of coffee a day. C. Lower blood pressure. D. Antioxidants. ( )35. What can we infer from the passage? A. The study mainly focuses on middle aged people. B. Those who seldom drink coffee are healthier. C. Drinking one cup of coffee a day benefits health. D. Drinking tea contributes to stroke. ( )36. What was the attitude of Dr Dale Webb towards this study? A. He saw more findings of this study unsatisfiedly. B. He agreed with the achievements of this study. C. He understood the difficulty of this study. D. He was disappointed to find no following research. ( )37. What can be a suitable title for the passage? A. Drinking Tea or Coffee Properly Matters B. Drinking Tea Reduces Stroke C. Drinking Coffee Equals Drinking Tea D. Drinking Coffee Raises Blood Pressure C Nature and culture are often seen as opposite ideas. What belongs to nature cannot be the result of human activities and on the other hand,cultural development is achieved against nature. However,this is not the only opinion on the relationship between nature and culture. Studies in the development of humans suggest that culture,whether taken as an effort against nature or a natural effort,is part of the development of the human species (物种). Several modern writers saw the process of education as a struggle (斗争) against human nature. We are born with wild natures,such as eating and behaving in a disorganized way or acting selfishly. Education uses culture as a way to get us out of our widest natures;it is thanks to culture that the human species could learn to adapt (适应) progress and raise itself above and beyond other species. Over the past century and a half,however,studies in the history of human development have shown that the formation of culture is part of the biological adaptation. Consider,for example,hunting,It seems to be an adaptation,which allowed humans to move into new and different areas,opening up the opportunity to change living habits. At the same time,the development of weapons (武器) is related to that adaptation-from rocks and stones to a set of hunting tools,and from hunting tools to rules connecting to the proper use of weapons. Hunting also seems to be responsible for a whole set of bodily abilities,such as balancing on one foot. Just think of how this very simple thing is closely connected to dance,a key expression of human culture. It is then clear that biological development and cultural development are closely tied. The transmission of culture seems to be directly connected to what's in our blood. Just as snails carry their shells,so do we bring along our culture. However,culture is also passed on among people of the same time or among people belonging to different populations. We can learn how to make jiaozi even if we were born from Russian parents in Paris just as we can learn how to speak English even if none of our family or friends speak that language. ( )38. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? _ A. Culture belongs to human nature. B. Nature teaches humans how to adapt. C. Humans are supposed to be well organized. D. Education pushes the human species to progress. ( )39. Why does the writer talk about hunting in Paragraph 1? _ A. To suggest some possible ways of changing living habits. B. To stress the importance of tools in humans' struggle for life. C. To show how culture develops as humans adapt to the environment. D. To explain why there is a need to call for the proper use of weapons. ( )40. The word "transmission" in Paragraph 2 probably means " _ ". A. spread B. result C. start D. idea ( )41. What is the writer's opinion on the nature-culture relationship? _ A. Culture and nature are separate yet balanced. B. Culture depends much on nature to progress. C. Nature and culture are different but connected. D. Nature follows the unwritten rules set by culture. D To learn to think is to learn to question. Those who don’t question never truly think for themselves. Advancements(进步) are made when thinkers start to question. Unfortunately, it is often the great and respected thinkers who end up slowing the progress of human thought. Aristotle was an ancient Greek philosopher and scientist whose ideas explained much of the natural world, often incorrectly. He was so respected by the scientific community that even 1,200 years after his death, scientists were still trying to build upon his mistakes rather than correct them! Brilliant minds can make up and coming thinkers believe they are not as good as the minds of giants such as Aristotle, leading many to accept current ideas instead of questioning them. I like many thinkers of the past, once believed in my mental weakness. I was certain that my parents, my teachers were always right. They were like a textbook to me; I didn’t question what was written on those pages. I respected them, and accepted whatever they told me. But that attitude soon changed. My mind’s independence was first developed in the classroom. Astem, a 45-year-old science teacher, once told me that light is a type of wave. I confidently went through years of school believing that. One day, however, I heard the German exchange student mention that light could be made of particles(粒子). I started to question my beliefs. I went to the library, read about Einstein’s discovery that puzzles the world’s greatest thinkers—Light behaves as both a particle and a wave. I realized I had gone through life accepting only half of the story as the whole truth. Each new year brought more new facts and I found myself in the library after school trying to find my own answers to gain a more complete understanding of what I thought I already knew. I discovered that my parents and teachers are good tools in my quest for knowledge, but they are never the final word. That’s how I developed my independent mind. Questions are said to be the path to knowledge and truth, and I plan to continue questioning. How many things do we know for sure today that we will question in the future? At this moment, I know that our sun will burn for another five billion years, and I know nothing can escape the gravity of a black hole. This knowledge, however, may change in the next 20 years — maybe even in the next two. The one thing we can control now is our openness to discovery, which is the key to making progress for human beings! ( )42. In this passage, Aristotle is taken as an example to show that _. A. he is the greatest and respected scientist of all B. huge influence of great thinkers may stop human thought from developing C. advancements are made when thinkers start to question D. great thinkers make mistakes and then correct them ( )43. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 has an adverbial clause which expresses _. A. reason B. purpose C. result D. time ( )44. Which of the following best shows the structure of this passage? A. B. C. D. ( )45.What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The author is not quite sure about his future. B. We human beings are afraid of dreaming about the future. C. The things about black holes will change in two years. D. Questioning is necessary to intellectual advancement. 四、词汇(本题共15小题,每小题1分,满分15分) A. 请根据中文提示、英文释义或句意,写出句中所缺单词,使句子通顺。 46.

This well﹣known note﹣taking method is called the Cornell Note﹣taking System. It was first developed in the 1920s by education professor Walter Pauk at Cornell University to help students learn. According to Cornell Notes,each page is divided into three sections:the note﹣taking column,the cue column ( 提示栏 ) and summary space. It's very easy. You just need to draw two lines on your note page,leaving a 2.5﹣inch margin on the left and a 2﹣inch margin on the bottom. The note﹣taking column,which is the biggest space is used to write down notes while you are in class or reading an article. The key point is that you don't write down what you hear word by word. It requires you to be very brief,using short phrases,symbols or keywords to replace long sentences. To help with future review,you can write some related questions on the left. The next step is to cover the note﹣taking column with a sheet of paper or your hand. Then,by only looking at the questions for key words,try to repeat the content in your own words. The summary space is designed to help you reflect on what you've learned. Questions may also be useful. For example,what's the significance of these facts?What principles are they based on?What's beyond them?You can also write down your own ideas and personal feelings. Don't forget to review from time to time so that you will remember the information more easily. Practice makes perfect. After a few months of using this handy note﹣taking method,you are sure to become the note﹣taking star of your class. And even better,you'll finally be able to remember what you have learned. 71.Who first developed the Cornell Note﹣taking System? _ 72.What do we need to do while writing down notes according to the passage? _ 71.How can you use the cue column? _ 74.Why is the summary space designed? _ 75. Would you like to use this note﹣taking method?Why or why not?(请自拟一句话) _ 七、书面表达(本题满分25分) 假设你叫李明,你们学校要选拔新的学生会主席,每班推荐一名同学,你打算向张老师推荐刘涛。请根据下列提示,写一封推荐信。 ( Li u Tao Confident H ard-working Energetic Organized A nimal sign … ) 注意:1.表达中必须包含所给要点,适当发挥。 2.词数90左右。信的开头和结尾已给出,不计入总词数。 Dear Mr. Zhang, I’m writing to recommend Liu Tao as our new chairperson of the Students’ Union. _ Yours sincerely, Li Ming 参考答案 一、单项选择 1—5 DBCDA 6—10 CBBBD 11—15 CCBBD 二、完形填空 16-20 ADCCB 21-25 CADBA 26-30 CBDDA 三、阅读理解 31-33.

First of all, he is energetic and he can play football for hours. Second, he is well organized and plans everything well. Third, he is confident enough to make speeches in front of the whole class. What’s more,I also think it’s hard-working of him to be willing to do extra work. Last but not least, his animal sign is the Monkey. He is so clever that he has won several science competitions. He can solve the problem which others can’t solve as well. Generally speaking, it’s my belief that Li Tao is the most suitable person for the position.I hope that you can take my advice.
