At that agc,I always did somcthing to whatever my parents did!If gardening were somcthing they found upsetting,I would plant a garden! I planted some lily seeds in the yard.But they failed to come up.I continued to plant sunflower seeds and roses.Wild with I found the first rose bloom )One by one,the flowers bloomed their heads off.I was touched by this land of wonder.However,my parents showed no3 in my garden.My father even shouted at me because he found it was troublesome to move around my garden to the driveway.To my mother's I put in her vase my rcal roses which,in her eyes,were simply wceds rather than flowers. Regardless of their dislike,I kept on planting my garden and to enjoy the pleasure of gordening.Plants makc such good companions:they breathe,they bloom,they 3 to care and love. It has been many years since I madc my first garden out of my 39 to-annoy my parents.Today I become as Mrs.Green thumbs,teaching gardening and hosting a gardening show,which makes my parents feel very proud.And now I could say it is my affection for nature that makes me a real gardencr. III Reading Comprehension (45%) Section A.(15%) Is there a job for you after collcge?What does the world of work keep in store for you?That 41 in large measure on who you are.

If you are a woman interested in law erforcement ()note that some states and citics are working hard to reach 49 standards for female applicants. Although most small suburban police departments are deeply traditional,and some are 50 even to employ woman,among the nation's largest forces about 15 pcrcent of the officers arc female,five times as many as a generation ago.

Mrs.Grady touched her hand to her heart."That would be wonderful,boys.I think the job is getting to be too much for me." “It will cost10 dollars,”Jamie said.. "If that's OK,"Mark added. "Oh dear,"Mrs.Grady sounded disappointed,"I haven't been able to get to the bank.I can offer homcmadc cookies,but I rcalize that's not what you had in mind." Mark was going to say that Mrs.Grady could pay them another time,but Jamie cut him off..“We'll come back later."① As they struggled through the snow out of Ms.Grady's driveway,Mrs.Grady stood at her window,watching them. At the same time,Mark was confuscd.She didn't look like the person who'd come to his rescue last summer when Mr.Dunn's dog,Goldie,escaped from her backyard.2Goldic had just wanted to play,but Mark didn't feel comfortable around big dogs.And Goldic had boxed him in between the wooden fence and cedar hedge (雪松树篱) Then Mrs.Grady's front door had flown opcn.She must have secn him from across the strcct."Hold on,Mark.I'm coming!"HIer apron had flapped in the wind like a banner as she strode across the street holding a kitchen broom."Goldie!"she'd called.As soon as Goldie had turned her hcad,Mrs.Grady had slipped between Mark and the dog.She wasn't much taller than Mark,but she'd stood firm as a rock in front of him."Goldic,go home!"Then she'd swept her broom to hurry the dog along."Get!" Goldie had obcyed.④ When Mark's father had appcarcd,he'd said to Mrs.Grady,"That's very brave! Thank you!” Mrs.Grady had laughed."It was nothing.Good ncighbors watch out for cach other,don't they?" And now Mrs.Grady needed Mark as much as he'd needed her last summer.He smiled and waved at Mrs.Grady,then thrust his shovel deep into the snow. “Heyl”Jamie shouted..“What are you doing?”Mark couldn't explain about Goldie and watching out for ncighbors."I like Mrs.Grady's cookies."he said. 56.Mrs.Grady sounded disappointed mostly because A.she couldn't afford to pay Mark and Jamie B.Mark and Jamie wanted to get paid for shoveling C.she realized Mark and Jamic disliked her cookics D.Mark and Jamie wanted the money for a vidco game 57.Which blank is the sentence "Mark had tried to call for his dad,but his tongue seemed locked behind his teeth."most likely to be put in?

D.Actions speak louder than words. (B) Whether you're up for a Crocodile Dundce's adventure or you'd just like a taste of the Australian sun,the beaches in and around Sydney can offer you all that and more. Sydncy Beach Sydney Beach is located at Sydney's northernmost tip on an extension of land ending at Palm Beach.Before checking out the golden sand,take a quick tour of the houses of the millionaires from the art and film industries. Palm Beach Only about an hour from downtown Sydney,Palm Beach offers a long stretch of clean sand and water.With parking near the center of the beach,the rest of it is lcft as a peaccful location with a sparse population,from which you can go surfing. But be careful:without the huge crowds of other Sydncy beaches,Palm Beach doesn't afford quite the safety level to be found elsewhere;volunteer lifesavers are on duty only on weckends and holidays. Bondi Beach For the big-name beach,.Bondi Beach has to be your choicc.Parking is difficult to find even on slow days,so consider taking public transport to this world-known beach in the castern Sydney suburbs.Easily reachable by taxi,bus, and rail,Bondi Beach offers sun bathing,swimming,snorkeling,and all sorts of water sports fun.If you're in the mood for a bit of exercise,two scenic coastal walks will afford you great views and sights along the shore.Take in views from Mackenzic's Point.It starts at Bondi and heads south to Bronte Beach.But don't try to swim in Mackenzic's Bay-it holds dangers such as hidden rocks. Bronte Beach Your second choice for a scenic coastal walk covers a little under two miles and takes you from Bronte Beach to Waverly Cemetcry,where many famous Australians are buried,including poets Henry Kendall,Doreothea Mackellar,and Henry Lawson. 5 60.Which of the following shows the right order of the beaches lined from the south to the north? A.Palm Beach-Sydncy Beach-Bronte Beach-Bondi Beach B.Bronte Bcach-Bondi Beach-Palm Beach-Sydney Beach C.Sydney Beach-Palm Beach-Bondi Beach-Bronte Bcach D.Bondi Bcach-Bronte Beach-Palm Beach-Sydney Beach 61.The underlined word "sparse"probably means A.largc B.thick C.thin D.crowded 62.What can we learn from the passage? A I you want to visit Palm Beach,the airplanc is your best choice B.If you want to enjoy a walk,you can choose Bondi Beach or Bronte Beach. C.If you want to visit the famous people's tombs,you can choose Sydney Beach. D.If you want to swim in Palm Bcach,the safer time is on weekdays and holidays. (C9 Grown-ups are often surpriscd by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since.A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water.He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ridc away.He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son.A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle,twinkle,little star"or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears. One explanation is the law of overlearning,which can be stated as follows:Once we have learned something,additional learning trials increase the length of time,we will remember it. In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming,bicycle riding,and playing baseball long after we have learncd them.We continue to listcn to and remind ourselves of words such as "Iwinklc,twinklc,little star"and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks.We not only learn but ovcrlearn. The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school,because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood. The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing gradc,is not a satisfactory way to learn a collcge course.By cramming,a student may learn the subjcct well enough to get by on the examination,but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he lcarned.A little overlearning,on the other hand,is really necessary for one's future development. 63.What is the main idea of paragraph 1? A People remember well what they learned in childhood. B.Children have a better memory than grown-ups. C.Poem reading is a good way to lcarn words. D.Stories for children are easy to remember. 6 01 64.The author explains the law of overlearning by_ A.presenting research findings B.setting down general rules C.making a comparison D.using examples 65.According to the author,being able to use multiplication tables is A.a result of overleaming B.a special case of cramming C.a skill to deal with math problems D a basic step towards advanced studics 66.What is the author's opinion on cramming? A.It leads to failure in college cxams. B.It's helpful only in a limited way. C.It's possible to result in poor memory. D.It increases students'learning interest. Section C(8%) A.Tegmark fcars he may hold the record for the longest time taken to read one book. B.In a more positive manner,this is a wonderful collection of essays to dip in and out of if you already have a good summary of current planetary understanding. C.Levy is an active astronomer and an accomplished writer,so you'd expect him to provide a broad and accurate picturc of our current undcrstanding of the universc. D.Scientific American has attempted to meet this need by bringing togethcr essays that have appeared in the magazinc. E. To some extent,these could have been with a glossary (of terms. F.Also included are contributions on the world of subatomic particles(次原子粒子)， the origin of life on Earth and the possibility of its existencc clsewhere. For the first time in history,we have a pretty good idea of the material content of the Universe,our position within it and how the whole thing came into being. In these times of exploding knowledge there is a definite need to asscmble what we know in a popular form.(67) The essays in The Scientific American Book of the Universe haye been selected by David Levy,co-discoverer of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9.(68)_ Nobody can put the blame on the range of articles Levy has included.There are essays on the planets,moons and various remains in the Solar Systcm,and on our Galaxy(星系)，the Milky Way(银河系).(69)_ So much for the book's content.But Levy has not succceded in providing an accurate combination of our current knowledge of the universc,which the book cover promises.Gathcring together previously published articles inevitably leaves subject gaps,missing explanations and so on.(70) But therc isn't one.In fact, surprisingly for a book so denscly packed with information,there is no index. 7 第n卷 《典%舟)y TV.Gram德r(I%) Directions:Directions:A九e时eadirtg te sererces elow fil In情e Bhuinks hs the sentences coherert and grammatically correcto te btuuks wilh d ivun wur. fill in each blank with the proper form of the gven wor the diler blulks,use ulle word that best fits each blank 1.The book (write)by the famouts author last year has becume a bestseller. 2.The scicntist, research has chanied the field of medicine,will uive a lecture tomorrow. 3. it is sutiny or rainy,we will go hiking as planned. 4.The problem (discuss)at the meeting at present is complicated. 5.The projcct, (complcte)by the end of this month,will be a major breakthrough in the ficld. 6.
