My father still looks remarkably like I remember him when I was growing up. What’s different is his gentleness and patience. My son and I had flown to Arizona for a visit, and his 67-year-old 36 was tuning up his guitar to play for the boy. “You know ‘Oh, Give Me a Home Where the Buffalo Roam’?” my father asked. All the while, four-year-old son was 37 on the couch, always touching the strings above his head he wasn’t supposed to and talking 38 . My father and I were once always disagreeing. We 39 all the classic rebellious teen stuff: shouting matches, my strange-looking friends, clothes and beliefs. I believed that manhood 40 that I stand up to him, even if it meant 41 . One day some friends and I 42 our high school’s parking-lot barriers under the woodpile for the annual home-coming bonfire(篝火). We hated the things because they 43 us from leaving school in our cars 44 the buses had left. I thought what we had done was 45 funny, and I mentioned it to my father. He didn’t think it was funny, and he ordered me to go with him to dig the barriers out. I 46 , and we stood toe to toe. Dad was very angry, and I thought for an instant that the test had come. But then he 47 his head and calmly walked away. The next day my friends told me that they had seen him at the bonfire celebration. He’d
climbed into the woodpile in front of hundreds of kids, 48 out the barriers and left. He never mentioned it to me. He 49 hasn’t.
Despite our father-son struggles, I never doubted my father’s 50 . There are plenty of warm 51 — he and I on the couch watching TV together, walking a rock road, at dusk riding home in a car, 52 “Red River Valley.”
But I can’t recall a time my father hugged or 53 me or said he loved me. I remember lying next to him comfortable on Sunday mornings. I remember the strong, warm 54 of sleeping in his arms. But men, even little men, did not kiss or hug. 55 shook hands.

该项涂黑。
A
One of the greatest stories of rags to riches success is that of Andrew Carnegie, who started life in poverty but became the richest man in the world.
Carnegie was born in Scotland in 1837, the son of a weaver. In 1848, the family moved to the United States and at 13 Carnegie began work in a cotton mill, earning $1.5 per week. About three years later, he found a better job as a telegraph messenger boy. At work, his superiors(上级)were impressed by his abilities and willingness to work hard. In 1853, he gained an office job at the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. This was his first big break. He continued to impress and rose rapidly through the company, gaining more and more responsibility. At the same time, Carnegie loved reading very much and made use of every opportunity to visit the library. He read widely on all subjects, particularly literature.
Carnegie now began to save a little money and, with the help of his employer, began to make some successful investments. He invested in the iron industry and eventually set up in business himself, owning several iron and steel plants. This was where he made his fortune. By the 1890s, the Carnegie Steel Company was the biggest and most profitable business in the world.
Carnegie had always believed that the pursuit(追求)of wealth was never an end in itself. In his view, successful, wealthy people should re-distribute their wealth for the benefit of everyone in society. True to his word, in 1901, at the age of 66, he retired from business and devoted the rest of his life to charity work.
Carnegie’s lack of formal education and his poor family background clearly didn’t put barriers in the way of success. His rapid rise from poverty to wealth was due to his willingness to work hard, his intelligence and good business sense, and his talent for making things happen. He died in 1919 at the age of 83.
56. What can be learnt from the text?
A. Carnegie’s employers at the railroad company had a high opinion of him. B. Carnegie made the investments independently after saving enough money. C. Carnegie believed that we should try to earn as much money as possible in our life. D. Carnegie could have been more successful if he had been formally educated.
57. What does “gaining more and more responsibility” in the second paragraph most probably mean?
A. Becoming more and more intelligent. B. Being promoted to higher ranks. C. Having a better sense of confidence. D. Reading more and more books. 58. When did Carnegie get his first big success in his life? A. When he took a job as a telegraph messenger boy. B. When he worked at the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. C. When he made investments in the iron industry. D. When he founded the Carnegie Steel Company.
59. Which of the followings will be the suitable title for the text? A. Andrew Carnegie: A Wealthy Man B. Steel & Iron: The Most Profitable Business C. From Rags to Riches: The Story of Andrew Carnegie
D. Intelligence and Good Business Sense: Tow Factors in Becoming Wealthy
B
Visitors worry that London is an expensive city but there really are so many things to do for free in London from museums and galleries to free music and walking tours.
Art Galleries
Tate Modern and Tate Britain are exceptional national art galleries housing some of the finest artworks in the world. Tate Modern focuses on contemporary art while Tate Britain displays British Art from the sixteenth century to the present day.
Museums All of London's major museums are free, but most offer some special exhibitions for a fee. My favorite is the Museum of London where you can learn the history of London from Roman times to
today. Other great major museums are the British Museum, the V&A, the Science Museum, and the Natural History Museum. Oh, and I love the Geffrye Museum. And the Horniman Museum. Now I can't decide which is the best!
Many of London's major art galleries and museums are open in the evening and often have special evening events. This can be a great way to relax at the end of a busy day seeing the sights. The main London galleries and museums are air-conditioned so it can be wonderful way to cool down in the height of summer in the city. Galleries and museums are not open late every night so here is a handy list to help you plan your days and evenings.
Royal Parks Many people say the Queen Mary's Rose Gardens in Regent's Park is their favorite spot in London, and who am I to argue? I would also recommend St. James's Park as it offers one of the best views of Buckingham Palace. Hyde Park is enormous and includes the ever popular Diana Memorial Fountain and the Peter Pan Statue. There are often free talks and guided walks in the royal parks so do check the What's On section of the Royal Parks website. Changing of the Guard
No visit to London is complete without seeing this military tradition. The Queen's Guard in London changes in the Forecourt inside the gates of Buckingham Palace at 11.30am every day in the summer and every other day in the winter. Get there early and view the spectacle from outside the front gates.
60. The passage is intended to _________. A. recommend some free scenic spots to tourists B. help visitors save money while visiting Ireland C. advise travelers how to choose art articles D. tell readers London’s wonderful history
61. If you visit some museums in London in late evenings, you ________. A. can see all the artworks free of charge B. have to endure the heat of the summer C. need to pay admission for general exhibition D. may have a chance to enjoy some special events
62. In order to watch Changing of the Guard in summer, visitors have to _________.
A. gain access to the front gates after 11:30 a.m. B. pay a sum of money to enter the Royal Parks C. arrive at Buckingham Palace before 11:30 a.m. D. come through the gates of Buchingham Palace
C
A breathtaking trick potentially left over from our ancestors might be found in us — the ability to sense oxygen through our skin.
Amphibians, animals such as frogs that can live both on land and in water, have long been known to be capable of breathing through their skin. In fact, the first known lungless frog that breathes only through its skin was discovered recently in the rivers of Borneo.
Now the same oxygen sensors found in frog skins and in the lungs of mammals(哺乳动物)have unexpectedly been discovered in the skin of mice.
“No one had ever looked,” explained Randall Johnson, a biologist researcher.
Mice and frogs are quite distant relatives, so the fact they have these molecules(分子)in common in their skin suggests they might well be found in the skin of other mammals, such as humans.
“We have no reason to think that they are not in the skin of people too,” Johnson said. These molecules not only detect oxygen, but help increase levels of vital red blood cells, which carry oxygen around the body. Normal mice breathing in air that is 10 percent oxygen—a dangerously low level similar to conditions at the top of Mount Everest, and about half that of air at sea level. However, mice that had the oxygen sensor HIF-1a genetically removed from their skin failed to produce this hormone(荷尔蒙)even after hours of such low oxygen.
These findings, if they hold true in humans, suggest one could raise the level of oxygen circulating inside the body. This could help treat lung diseases and disorders such as anemia(贫血症)without injecting drugs, which make up a multibillion-dollar market, Johnson said.
Athletes also often try to get more oxygen delivered to their muscles in order to improve their performance. They often do this by training at high altitudes or in low-oxygen tents. The new study suggests they might want to expose their skin as well as breathing in low-oxygen air to improve their performance. “It’s hard to say what exactly might be done, however—there’s a lot we don’t know yet,” Johnson explained.
The scientists detailed their findings in the April 18 issue of the journal Cell. 63. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Johnson believes that Oxygen sensors may also exist in human skin. B. People have to surf the Internet to read detailed findings. C. It has been proved that these findings help treat lung diseases. D. It has long been expected oxygen sensors exist in mice’s skin. 64. One of the functions of the molecules mentioned above is _______. A. carrying oxygen around the body C. detecting oxygen
B. improving athletes’ performance D. increasing level of oxygen
65. What is Johnson’s attitude to the application of the findings to the athletes’ training? A. Negative
B. Doubting
C. Positive
D. Hesitating
66. The best title of the passage may be _______. A. Great Findings Benefits Athletes A Lot B. Frogs And Mice Are Distant Relatives C. First Known Animal Breathes Through Skin D. Humans Might Sense Oxygen Through Skin

A gentle breeze blew through Jennifer’s hair. The golden red sun was setting. She was on the beach, looking up at the fiery(火红的)ball. She was amazed by its color, deep red in the middle, softly fading into yellow. She could hear nothing but the waves and the seagulls flying up above in the sky.
The atmosphere relaxed her. After all she had been through, this was what she needed. “It’s getting late,” she thought, “I must go home. My parents will be wondering where I am.”
She wondered how her parents would react, when she got home after the three days she was missing. She kept on walking, directing herself where she spent every summer holiday. The road was deserted. She walked slowly and silently. Just in a few hundred meters she would have been safe in her house.
It was really getting dark now. The sun had set a few minutes before and it was getting cold, too. She wished she had her favorite sweater on— it kept her really warm. She imagined having it with her. This thought disappeared when she finally saw her front door. It seemed different.
Nobody had taken care of the outside garden for a few days. She was shocked: her father was usually so strict about keeping everything clean and tidy, and now... It all seemed deserted. She couldn’t understand what was going on.
She entered the house. First, she went into the kitchen where she saw a note written by her father. It said, “Dear Ellen, there is some coffee ready. I went looking.” Ellen was her mother but — where was she? On the right side of the hallway was her parents’ room. She went in. Then she saw her. Her mother, lying on the bed, was sleeping. Her face looked so tired, as if she hadn’t slept for days. She was really pale. Jennifer would have wanted to wake her up but she looked too tired. So Jennifer just fell asleep beside her. When Jennifer woke up, something was different... she wasn’t in her mother’s room and she wasn’t wearing the old clothes she ran away in. She was in her snug bed in her pajamas(睡衣).
It felt so good being back home. Suddenly she heard a voice, “Are you feeling better now, dear? You know you got us very, very scared.”
67. What does “This thought” in the fourth paragraph refer to? A. The idea of going back home. B. Her anxiety about her parents.
C. The feeling of being warm in her favorite sweater. D. The feeling of getting back home safely.
68. Her father didn’t take care of the garden because _______.
A. he was busy looking for her B. he had to look after his wife C. he was not strict in his job D. he no longer enjoyed working there 69. How did Jennifer probably feel when she came back home? a. worried b. crazy c. tired d. disappointed e. shocked f. excited A. a, b, c B. a, c, e
C. b, c, e
D. d, e, f
70. What can we conclude from this passage? A. In fact Jennifer’s mother had been sick for days.
B. As Jennifer walked towards home, she became increasingly scared. C. When she found the garden deserted, she realized she got cross.
D. Having experienced a lot outside, Jennifer felt home was really warm and safe for her.

请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。 注意:每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。
Is there a \"success personality\"—some winning combination of qualities that leads almost inevitably(必然地)to achievement? If so, exactly what is that secret success formula(公式), and can anyone develop it?
At the Gallop Organization we recently focused in depth on success, inquiring into the attitudes of 1500 distinguished people selected at random from Who's Who in America. Our research finds out a number of qualities that occur regularly among top achievers. Here is one of the most important, that is common sense.
Common sense is the most widely possessed quality of the people surveyed. Seventy-nine percent award themselves a top score in this quality. And 61 percent say that common sense is very important in contributing to their success.
To most, common sense means the ability to present sound, practical judgments on everyday affairs. To do this, one has to remove extra ideas and get right to the key points of what matters. A Texas oil and gas businessman puts it this way: \"The key ability for success is simplifying. In conduction of meeting and dealing with industry reducing a complex problem to the simplest term is highly important.\"
Is common sense a quality a person is born with, or can you do something to increase it? The oil man's answer is that common sense can definitely be developed. He owes his to learning how to debate in school. Another way to increase your store of common sense is to observe it in others, learning from their—and your own—mistakes.
Besides common sense, there are many other factors that influence success: knowing your field, self-reliance, intelligence, the ability to get things done, leadership, creativity, relationships with others, and of course, luck. But common sense stands out. If you develop these qualities, you'll succeed. And you might even find yourself listed in Who's Who someday. Secrets to success Finding of theTop achievers have some common(72)______, one of which is common (71)________ sense. The most 79 percent of the people surveyed(73)______ highly of common sense. important And 61 percent say it plays an important role in their success. quality Understanding To most, it means one is able to(74)________ daily affairs reasonably byof common (75)________ on what really counts. sense (76)________ (77)________ it through activities like learning how to debate in school. to get common Increasing it through(78)________ by observing others. sense Other factors (79)_______ from common sense, many other factors contribute to leading to success, luck(80)________. But common sense is the most outstanding. success 第六部分 书面表达(满分20分) 在学习生活和工作中,与人合作是非常重要的。请你根据下表中所提供的信息,写一篇题为 “Cooperate with others”的英文演讲稿。

The topic of my speech today is “Cooperate with others”.
In this busy, modern world, if we want to complete our work effectively and efficiently, we must all learn to cooperate with others. If we lose our partner, then we will fail. Cooperation can save us a lot of time and energy. Additionally, we can learn much from our partners by cooperating them.
When we cooperate with someone we like, we will feel very happy. And we can share our pleasure and sadness with him. But it can be difficult to be cooperative with someone we dislike. In such a situation, we may focus on our work, instead of our partner. Perhaps in working together with him for a long time, we’ll learn that he is a man to get along well with. Even if this doesn’t happen, it’s still worth a try.
How can we become a good partner? In my opinion,(we should try to listen to others’ opinions. If he makes mistakes, we also try to point them out. Thirdly, we mustn’t beat others to make them in unfavorable position)
Thank you for your listening!
