On the way out, I asked them to wait while I ran up to E1 Capitan, a 11 rock of 3300 feet straight up. I touched that rock and knew 12 I wanted to climb it. That has been my lifes passion(钟爱) ever since climbing the rocks and mountains of Yosemite. Ive long made Yosemite my 13 .About 15 years ago I started seeing a lot of 14 , like toilet paper, beer cans, and empty boxes, around the area. Its beyond me why visitors started respecting the place 15 and treated such a beautiful home-like place this way.I tried picking up trash myself, but the job was too big, I would spend an hour or two on the job, only to find the area trashed all over again weeks later. Finally, I got so 16 it that I decided something had to change.As a rock-climbing guide, I knew nothing about organizing any big event. But in 2004, together with some climbers, I set a date for a 17 . On that day, more than 300 people 18 . Over three days we collected about 6000 pounds of trash. It was amazing how much we were able to achieve. I couldnt believe the 19 we made the park looked clean.Each year volunteers come for the cleanup from everywhere. In 2007, 2945 people picked up 42330 pounds of trash and covered 132 miles of roadway.I often hear people 20 about their surroundings(环境). If you are one of them, I would say the only way to change things is by 21 rather than complaining. We need to teach by example.

Several leading educational psychologists(心理学家) say this is one of the biggest mistakes that can cause great problems to children.However, if parents are a little gentler, the child may act successfully especially if the parents can support him. Michael Li is very lucky. He is very fond of music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and inviting a teacher to give him personal piano lessons. They even drive him 59 kilometers twice a week for violin lessons. Although Michaels mother knows very little about music, Michaels father plays the piano very well. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling.Michaels friend, Winston Chen, however, is not so lucky. Although both his parents are successful musicians, they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are, so they enter him in every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win. “When I was at your age, I used to win every competition I entered,” Winstons father tells him. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint(使失望) his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy.23. One of the worst mistakes any parent can make is to _.A. pay much attention to their childs educationB. push the child into trying to achieve too muchC. make their child become a musicianD. help their child to succeed in the future24. Michael Li is lucky because _.A. his father knows music and teaches him muchB. his parents are rich enough to support himC. his mother doesnt know much about musicD. his parents help him in a wise way25. The two examples show that _.A. it is important to let children develop in their own wayB. it is successful to let children develop without others helpC. successful parents often have unsuccessful childrenD. the more you help your children, the less they can achieveBCan dogs and cats get along well in the same home? People who are thinking about getting a dog as a friend for their cat are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found that if the cat is taken back home before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. In two-thirds of the homes cats and dogs have a good relationship.However, it wasnt all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and the dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression (侵略, 好斗) and fighting were found in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body languages are just different. For example, when a cat turns its head away it means aggression, while a dog doing the same means submission (顺从).In homes with cats and dogs living in peace, researchers found a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each others language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “Dog”, and dogs can learn how to talk “Cat”.Whats interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to become smarter. They can learn to read each others body languages, suggesting that the two may have more in common than was expected. Once familiar with each others body language, cats and dogs can play together, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa.The importance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets to people who dont get along well, including neighbors, workmates, and even countries. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.26. The underlined word swimmingly in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _.A. earlyB. mostlyC. quicklyD. smoothly27. Some cats and dogs may fight when _.A. they are cold to each otherB. they look away from each otherC. they misunderstand each others body languagesD. they are introduced at an early age28. What can we humans learn from cats and dogs?A. We should learn to get along well with others.B. We should know more about animals.C. We should live in peace with animals.D. We should learn more body languages. CMaybe it is true that we do not know what we have got until we lose it, but it is also true that we do not know what we have been missing until it arrives. Giving someone all your love never means that they will love you back. Do not expect love in return; but if it does not, be glad it grows in yours.It takes an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Do not depend on one's appearance, it may not be true. Do not depend on wealth, even that disappears slowly. Depend on someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug(拥抱) them.Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials(尝试) to make you strong, enough sadness to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too.The happiest people do not necessarily give the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness waits for those who cry, those who have been hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can enjoy the importance of people who have touched their lives.The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past. You cannot go on well in life until you let your past failures and heartaches go off.When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you are the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.29. If you put yourself in anothers position(位置), _.A. you should depend on wealthB. you shouldn't do those things that will hurt you and other peopleC. you will do what you want to do however dangerous it is to peopleD. you should depend on other people30. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. If you give someone your love, you are sure that she will give her love to you in return.B. We often dont know what we have lost until it happens.C. If someone accepts your love and he doesnt give you his love in return, you should be angry with him.D. If it takes you an hour to love someone, you will easily forget her.31. In the last paragraph of the passage, the writer is actually telling us that a man in the world should be one who _.A. can accept the suggestions made by othersB. can live happily and forget the pastC. does good to the people and wins their respectD. has made a lot of money for himself when he diesDA popular saying goes, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” However, thats not really true. Words have the power to cheer us up or let us down. It doesnt matter whether the words come from someone else or ourselves the positive and negative (正面和负面) influences are just lasting.We talk to ourselves sometimes. Were usually too shy to admit(承认) it, though. In fact, we really shouldnt be because more and more scientists believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.This “self-talk” helps us make ourselves active, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. It is said that as much as 77% of self-talk is likely to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “Good job!”Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the influence they will have. But we should realize that our words cause certain influence in others. For example, when returning what we bought to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the salesperson will probably answer in a similar manner. Otherwise you may get into trouble.Words have power because of their lasting influences. Many of us feel sorry for something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesnt pass this test, then its better left unsaid.Words have power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-confidence and encourage others to do their best. Negative words destroy(毁坏) all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to cure? The choice is ours.32. There is no need for us to feel shy when we talk to ourselves because _.A. almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselvesB. talking to ourselves always gives us courageC. we may gain quite a few advantages of talking to ourselvesD. it does no harm to have “self-talk” when we are alone33. The underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also _ in time.A. remind ourselvesB. praise ourselves C. make ourselves relaxedD. give ourselves fun34. The writer would probably hold the view that _.A. it is better to think twice before talking to othersB. negative words may encourage us to make more progressC. people prefer to remember friendly wordsD. encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offers35. In which column(版面) of the newspaper can you most likely read this passage?A. News. B. Nature. C. Health. D. Culture.第卷（非选择题 满分42分）四、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后的表格中填入恰当的单词，每空一词。Remembering names is an important social skill.
