This is a true story which happened in the States. A man came out of his home to admire his new truck. To his   31  (puzzle), his three-year-old son was   32  (happy) hammering dents(凹痕) into the shiny paint of the truck. The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boy's hands into pulp(果浆汁) as   33  (punish). When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital.   34   the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he finally had to cut the fingers from both the boy's hands. When the boy   35  (wake) up from the operation and saw his bandaged stubs, he innocently said, “Daddy, I'm sorry about your truck.” Then he asked, “  36    when are my fingers going to grow back?” The father went home and committed suicide.

Think about this story   37   next time someone steps on your feet or you wish to take revenge. Think first   38    you lose your patience with someone you love. Trucks can   39  (repair). Broken bones and hurt feelings often can't. Too often we fail to recognize the difference between the person and the performance. We forget that forgiveness is   40  (great) than revenge. People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will impress us forever.

A

On May 8, last Thursday morning, the Olympic flame was lit on the top of Mount Qomolangma! It was a historic moment for China exactly three months ahead of the Beijing Games.

Tibetan female climber Cering Wangmo reached the summit with a special extreme-altitude Olympic torch. This event is what China has promised to the world as the high point of the torch relay, the longest and most challenging of all time.

Five torchbearers(火炬手) finished the highest relay ever—three of the climbers are Tibetan athletes.

Team members said “Beijing welcomes you!” in Chinese, English and Tibetan, as they stood at the summit celebrating, with the event broadcast on national television.

“I finally fulfilled the last dream of my husband,” said Gyigyi with tears in her eyes. She was the first torchbearer. Her husband lost his life in an attempt to climb all 14 mountains in China more than 8,000 meters three years ago.

“We are on top of the world! One world, one dream,” shouted Nima Cering, at the top of his voice. He said that although he had climbed the peak(峰顶)several times, this was the most significant ascent(登高). “As a Tibetan and a Chinese I pray for the success of Beijing 2008,” he added.

The special torch is different form the one currently touring the Chinese mainland, after an around-the-world relay. Officials organizing the trek up the peak had earlier set an April 26 target to begin the ascent, but high winds and heavy snow had delayed the mission.

The Xinhua News Agency said that the Qomolangma leg of the torch relay represents the Olympic motto, “higher, faster and stronger,” in practice and will promote unity among all 56 ethnic groups in China.

41. It was a historic moment because ______.

 A. some Tibetan torchbearers took part in it

 B. it was lit three months before the Olympic Games were held   C. it was lit on the top of Mount Qomolangma for the first time D. it was the longest attempt in history 42. Which is RIGHT according to the whole passage? A. All the five torchbearers are men. B. Only the five torchbearers reached the summit.  C. Team members said “Beijing welcomes you!” in their native language. D. At least two of the five torchbearers are females. 43. What does the word “leg” underlined in the last paragraph refer to? A. one part of a journey or race B. one of the long parts that connect the feet to the rest of the body C. the leg of an animal, especially the top part, cooked and eaten D. the part of a pair of trousers that covers the leg 44. What would be the best title for the text? A. One world, one dream B. Relay reaches its highest point C. Qomolangma, the highest summit in the world D. The special torch and the brave torchbearers 45. Where can you read about this passage? A. In the English textbook.                       B. In the newspaper. C. In the science report.                           D. On the street wall.

 

B

China has now mapped out plans for its next four launches in the Shenzhou program on the next flight. But one conclusion seems to have escaped most reports in the aerospace media. The flight of Shenzhou 7 could be timed to coincide with the Beijing Olympics. Plans for the 2008 Summer Olympics call for the events to be held between the 8th and 24th of August. It's reasonable to expect that China will use the event to promote its achievements before the world, and human spaceflight is China's most significant recent breakthrough. Shenzhou 7, China's next manned space mission, was originally advertised for 2007. This fit into the pattern of staging a two-year gap between crewed Shenzhou missions, which have previously launched in 2003 and 2005. But Chinese media statements have recently amended this to 2008. Chinese media have reported that while the overall program is going well, more time is needed to work on the spacesuit that will be used on this flight to stage China's first spacewalk. It's possible that Chinese engineers want to make best preparations for this complex mission. China could intend to carry out the mission of Shenzhou 7 just as media attention is focused on the lead-up to the Olympics. The crew of the flight, and possibly China's other flown astronauts, could then take part in the opening ceremony. China has previously feted her space travellers in great celebrations, such as the Hong Kong event that saw Yang Liwei singing with actor Jacky Chan. China has also suggested that the activity will be carried out by a single astronaut, and has indicated that half an hour is a rough estimate of the planned time for the spacewalk. China is apparently following suit, probably for the same reasons of conservative mission planning and safety. 46. From the first paragraph we can infer that ________.   A. China hasn’t made its plan for the Beijing Olympics   B. The new Shenzhou program are known to all the reporters   C. China has planned to send up Shenzhou 7 in 2008   D. Beijing Olympics will be held during the flight of Shenzhou 7 47. China has decided to carry out its human spaceflight in 2008 in order to ______.   A. make the Beijing Olympics more interesting   B. show its great achievements to the world   C. prove that China is a developed country   D. introduce its science and technology to the world 48. Which one of the following is WRONG according to this passage?   A. China sent its first manned spacecraft in October of 2003.   B. Chinese engineers want to make more preparations for Shenzhou 7.   C. The spacesuit for the flight of Shenzhou 7 hasn’t been prepared well.   D. Two Chinese astronauts walked in space in 2003. 49. The underlined word “amended” in the passage has a similar meaning to ______.   A. improve               B. change                     C. expect               D. decide 50. What would be the best title for this passage?   A. The Beijing Olympics.                       B. The Shenzhou Olympics.   C. China’s Shenzhou Program.                D. Spacewalk in 2008.

 

C

Free and secure accommodation, no bills and even the odd home-cooked meal. It sounds like the perfect living arrangement for cash-strapped students. Two mothers believe they have devised a way for struggling students to save on accommodation costs when they leave home to study at university. Kate Barnham and Amanda Flude have launched Student Swaps, an online accommodation forum (论坛) for parents and students, in advance of the introduction in September of £3,000 higher education top-up fees. Their website says, “The principle behind Student Swaps is to enable students to literally swap (交换) family homes.” The website will hold a database of students who would like to swap and link them with suitable matches. So those from one town / city could swap with those from a different town / city. The site describes itself as offering a “cost-free accommodation alternative… at a time of growing student debt”. There is no charge for the service at the moment but Ms Barnham and Ms Flude intend to introduce a £10 annual fee if it becomes established. However, the National Union of Students (NUS) has warned that, while the scheme may sound appealing to struggling freshers, it lacks any formal regulation. Veronica King, NUS vice-president of welfare, said, “The fact that this scheme has even been suggested is evidence to the high levels of debt students now face on graduation.” Recent research has shown that students are more likely to live at home in coming years, in a bid to cut down on the cost of a degree. “This is worrying, as it may mean that students choose their university on the basis of where it is, rather than because it offers the best course for them. It also means students will miss out on what is for some a key part of the student experience-living away from home.” 51. A “cash-strapped” student means one who __________.   A. lacks money                            B. prefers to stay at home   C. is careful with money                 D. wants to change cash 52. What is Kate Barnham and Amanda Flude’s purpose of launching Student Swaps?   A. To provide cheaper accommodation for students.   B. To let students stay close to their universities.   C. To help students spend less on accommodation costs.   D. To let students exchange ideas freely online. 53. What can students do on Student Swaps?   A. They can find students to exchange homes with.   B. They can make friends with students from a different city.   C. They can borrow money to pay for their higher education.   D. They can voice their opinions against the rising cost of a degree. 54. Now many students would prefer a university _________.   A. which can give them free accommodation          B. which is not far away from their homes   C. which offers the best courses                             D. which can offer home-cooked meals 55. What would be the best title for the passage?   A. High Cost Troubles University Students in UK.   B. Students Swaps is Welcomed by Students in UK.   C. Two Mothers’ Good Intention to Help Students in UK.   D. Website Helps Students Live at Someone Else’s Home.

第二节 读写任务(共1小题,满分25分)

阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150左右的英语短文。 

On September 1, 1965, the Tibet Autonomous Region was officially established, which marked the establishment of the people's democratic power in Tibet. From then on, the Tibetan people enjoyed the right to administer their own affairs and, together with the people throughout the country, engaged in the socialist development. Nowadays, the Tibet Autonomous Region, covering one-eighth of China's territory with a population of 2.8 million, has developed rapidly in recent years. China is a multi-ethnic country and Tibet is an inalienable(不可分割的) part of China. For more than 700 years the central government of China has continuously exercised sovereignty over Tibet. No government of any country in the world has ever recognized Tibet as an independent state. Anyone must be denounced(谴责) if he tries to split his motherland. British Foreign Secretary Lord Lansdowne, in a formal instruction in 1904, called Tibet "a province of the Chinese Empire." In his speech, Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru said, "Over the past several hundred years, as far as I know, at no time has any foreign country denied China's sovereignty over Tibet." The Dalai clique and overseas anti-China forces used to claim that between the 1911 Revolution and the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, Tibet became a country "exercising full authority." However, many historical facts denied such a fallacy(谬论). The so-called "Tibetan independence" which the Dalai clique and overseas anti-China forces spread is nothing but a fiction of the imperialists who committed aggression against China in modern history. Never will they succeed. [写作内容]

[写作要求]

(1) 可以使用实例或其他论述方法支持你的论点,也可以参照阅读材料的内容,但不得直接引用原文中的句子; (2) 标题自定。 [评分标准]
