第一节 短文理解
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的［A］、［B］、［C］、［D］四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Text 1
It’s a time when school，homework，active social lives and parttime jobs keep teenagers（青少年）busy from early in the morning until late at night.They are likely to try to make up for a lack of sleep by“sleeping in”on the weekends.Unfortunately，this causes irregular sleep and actually makes the problem worse.
Most teenagers are not able to fall asleep until late at night.Since many teens aren’t sleepy until around 11 p.m.，but need to be at school by 7∶30 or 8∶00 a.m.，they cannot get enough sleep.During puberty（青春期），the biological clock in the brain naturally re-sets to a later time，and this causes teens to fall asleep later.Then，when it’s time to get up，a teen’s body clock is likely to still be producing the night-time hormones（荷尔蒙）.This makes it hard for them to feel active and energetic in the morning.
A growing body of research suggests that starting high school later improves attendance，achievements and grades.A few years ago in an important study，test scores on the SAT college entrance exams in Edina，Minnesota jumped more than 100 points on average，when the morning school bell rang an hour later.Unfortunately，most schools are not set up to start later and fail to satisfy teen’s sleep needs.
21.What effect does“sleeping in”on the weekends have on teenagers？
［A］Improving their health.
［B］Weakening their energy.
［C］Disturbing their biological clock.
［D］Making up for their hormone loss.
22.The study in Minnesota shows that starting morning school one hour later helps to______.
［A］make teenagers grow faster
［B］change teenagers’ sleep needs
［C］do more research on teenagers
［D］improve students’ achievements
23.The text helps us to know more about teenagers’______.
［A］daytime activities
［B］sleeping habits
［C］mental problems
［D］studying methodsText 2
Chicago’s Children’s Hospital is the lucky receiver of a surprise ＄18 million gift from Gladys Holm.She once was a secretary who never earned more than ＄15，000 a year and never married.She lived alone in a small flat in Chicago，and was a volunteer at the Children’s Hospital.She was called the“Teddy Bear Lady”because she brought toy animals to sick children on her regular visits.But Miss Holm，who died in 1996 at the age of 86，was also a long-time buyer of stocks（股票）.Over the years，she saved money that rose up to ＄18 million，which she left to the Children’s Hospital.It was the largest single donation in the hospital’s 115-year history.The hospital president，Jan Jennings，was shocked when she heard the news.“When Miss Holm’s lawyer called to tell me how much that money was，I asked him to repeat it，since I was certain I had misheard.”
Why did Gladys Holm feel so strongly about the Children’s Hospital？Jennings said the hospital first touched Miss Holm’s heart nearly 50 years ago，when doctors there saved the life of her friend’s daughter.She never forgot the happiness she felt all those years ago.
Holm’s gift will be devoted to heart disease research.People at the hospital said they regretted that they couldn’t thank Miss Holm for the surprising gift.
24.According to the text，Miss Holm built up her fortune by______.

［D］To buy more toys for sick children.Text 3
We feel it is important to start reading to your child right from the start—the younger the better！With little ones（children from birth to 4）it is very important to read and reread books.Starting early makes the job of the listener（for you will be teaching your child how to listen）easier，as it helps to develop an early love of the written and spoken word.
We believe that you should read aloud to your child at least once every day.Set a special reading time during the day or evening when you can settle down and enjoy a book，without interruption.For most families，reading aloud at bedtime is a common practice.
We understand that it can be quite discouraging to read to a child who takes no interest.Take heart！Learning to listen takes experience.The more you read，the more your child will learn to sit for a story.Children have a natural development of responses（反应）to your reading.By the time your child reaches 6-7 months，s/he is attracted by the book in your hand，and would like to test it out by using it as a chew（咀嚼）toy.This is natural！By one year，your child is learning to listen and talk about the pages，often shouting out things s/he recognizes.Encourage this！And at the onset（起始）of walking，you have your biggest challenge yet.Your child is always on the go.You need to set your reading time for a time in the day when your child is preparing to settle down.This means bedtime.Remember，it is your right and duty to teach your child about the power of books.Of course，it doesn’t happen overnight，but the returns are great！
28.Who does “the listener” in the first paragraph refer to？
［A］The writer. ［B］The child.
［C］The parent. ［D］The teacher.
29.The best time of the day to read stories to a child is______.
［A］when the child is still active in the early evening
［B］when the parents finish the day’s housework
［C］when the child has a chew toy to play with
［D］when the child is quiet and peaceful
30.Parents may find it most difficult to read to their child when s/he______.
［A］is 6-7 months old
［B］is one year old
［C］starts to walk
［D］starts to talk
第二节 补全文章
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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
There are few people who draw up life goals.Most people want to take one step at a time，and are frightened when they have to set life goals.31
They can’t be more wrong.Life goals are only a road map.They record what you want to be at the end of your life.32 Others may want to be known as great builders or great sportspeo-ple.In fact，there is no end to what you may want to be.
However，the only way you can achieve your dream is by writing down your goal.Once you have done that，you need to break this goal into several small goals.While writing the small goals，you must provide for change.33 If you want to achieve your goals，you should be prepared to change them from time to time.This makes your goals really up-to-date.
Also，there cannot be just one life goal.There are at least five subjects that you need to ad-dress.These are：education，career（职业），family，health and money.34 For example，there can be no career goals unless they are backed by education goals.Similarly，there can be no family goals unless they are based on practical financial（金融的）goals.
None of these goals is taught in college.Yes，there are some families that try to train their kids to think wisely，and plan for their life.35 They know what they want to get in life.They are also mentally prepared for most of the difficulties they expect to meet on the way.
［A］These are happy families.
［B］Good health helps you to realize your goals.
［C］Nothing remains unchanged in this world.
［D］Many people do not know how to set life goals.
［E］To them，life is too big to be reduced to a few goals.
［F］You will find that all these goals are related.
［G］Some may want to be known as great scientists.第三部分 英语知识运用

I became interested in writing at an early age.So when my fourth-grade teacher told me about a 36 writer’s conference where students my age could 37 published writers，I decided to go.I began thinking about the writers whose stories I 38 —Judy Blume，Beverly Cleary，Shell Silverstein and 39 if they would be at this conference.
Well，I went to the conference，but I was a little 40 .None of them were there.But the conference was well 41 ，and every half hour we would move on to hear a new writer speak.Soon the 42 period of the day came.A man introduced himself and gave the same little speech we had heard since that morning.43 ，he threw in a twist（转折）.“ 44 are more than just words thrown together，”he said.“Words are more than just 45 thrown together.You must also 46 the mood or the tone（语气）of your ideas.”
He let that idea sink in and then 47 us about the difference between a house and a home.We all thought that was a 48 question，and made some wild guesses at it.
“Class，”he 49 ，“the difference between a house and a home is in the mood or the tone.A house is the 50 —the wood，the bricks，the lighting，the refrigerator.A home is the love and warmth and comfort you 51 s you walk through the 52 .”
I’ve kept that 53 in my memory ever since that day.Writing is more than just filling up a blank page with 54 ；it’s about expressing your ideas with clarity（清晰）and the mood.And that’s why I 55 it.

W：Dr.Green，congratulations on the success of your new book！We learned that it has been translated into 30 languages—English，of course，French，German，Japanese，Chinese，and so on.
M：Thanks，Helen.
W：Well，could you tell us what this popular book is about？
M：It’s called In Praise of Slow：It’s about how the world got stuck in fast-forward，and how more and more people everywhere are slowing down.In other words，it’s about the rise of the Slow Movement.
W：What is the Slow Movement？
M：It is a revolution against the idea that faster is always better.When I say“slow”，I don’t mean doing everything slowly.It’s about doing everything as well as possible，instead of as fast as possible.It’s about quality in everything we do.
W：When and where was this“slow”idea born？
M：It was born in the early 1990s in Italy.It began as the Slow Food Movement，which centered on food.More recently，“slow”has become popular worldwide.
W：Have we reached the point of trying to speed up something that cannot really be sped up？
M：Of course.The Internet connects us in wonderful ways，but it also leads us into trying to hurry up relationships.So you find people online saying they have more than 4，000 friends.The very idea of friendship is not considered important.And we may be losing the ability to make friends.In Britain，a study found that in the past ten years，the number of children who say they have no best friend rose from
under one in eight to nearly one in five！Text 10
Good morning，everyone.I’m pleased to be here to give a talk.We’re two brothers from Canada，and we’ve been living in Thailand for eight years.We noticed that most English lessons here in schools focus only on reading and writing，so a lot of people can’t understand and speak well in English.And we’d like to do something about it.Our idea is simple：we want to teach people how to understand and speak English like a native speaker.Different from broadcast English programs，we design special fun English programs based on the computer and use them to teach words and expressions we use in real life.We talk in a casual style on a number of interesting topics，and we share personal stories from our real lives.Now，we have over 200 units on our website.We make a new unit every week that you can listen to on your computer anytime you want.Our materials are from English movies，TV shows，and real-life conversations.We hope people will use the materials to practice every day.We are sure that
