To free slaves was his ambition. He was a very kind man, who did not like to see people going hungry or in pain. He wanted to do some good in the world. The cause which attracted him most was the abolition of the slave trade. Africans were taken from their homes and sold in markets. A master was able by law to treat his servants as he wishedeven working them to death if he wanted to. Wilberforce was not the only person that was interested in the cause, but he was in politics and so able to help pass the law which made it illegal. Finally the slave trade was abolished in 1807. Wilberforce then resigned from government in 1825 and died in 1833, just after the law was passed which was eventually to abolish slavery in England.21. Wilberforce was a(an) _ . A. American B.

I used to climb trees, swim and play football. In fact, I used to dream about playing professional football and possibly representing my country in the World Cup. Then I started to get weaker and weaker, until I could only enjoy football from a bench at the stadium. In the end I went into hospital for medical tests. I stayed there for nearby three months. I think I had at least a billion tests, including one in which they cut out a piece of muscle from my leg and look at it under a microscope. Even after all that, on one could give my disease a name and it is difficult to know what the future holds.One problem is that I dont look any different from other people. So sometimes some children in my primary school would laugh, when I got out of breath after running a short way or had to stop and rest halfway up the stairs. Sometimes, too, I was too weak to go to school so my education suffered. Every time I returned after an absence, I felt stupid because I was behind the others.In many ways my disability has helped me grow stronger psychologically and become more independent. I have to work hard to live a normal life but it has been worth it.25. What did I use to do? A. climb tress B. swim C. play football D. above all26.What disease does the author get?

He'd been a police officer before, and he was strong and able.His trouble started with Parkinson's disease, but it didn't end there. In July, 2002, the 60-year-old Kraus went into the hospital for an operation on his brain to control the shaking. But during the operation, he had a stroke（中风）. He was paralyzed. The doctor said, “You may never walk again and you might not even be able to talk. ”Kraus found that he couldn't lift a fork or take a drink by himself. Physical treatment was so painful and slow. What did he have to live for? So Kraus held the gun against his head. Feeling the cold metal on his skin, he began to consider the pain he would cause for his wife, daughters and grandchildren. He didn't pull the trigger（扳机）.Andrew Garud, his exercise physiologist（生理学家）, told him, “You are where you are. The pace would be slow; the pain would be real. But as long as you are alive, you have the ability to get better. ”After three months of working with Garud, Kraus wanted to see if he could stand. He could. Then he took three steps, sat down and cried like a baby.One step, as they say, led to another. Next he managed a short walk along the edge of a boxing ring（拳击台）in the health club. It was the hardest fight in Kraus' life. People at the gym cheered him on. Garud kept saying he could do more. Now, Kraus can brush his teeth, shave himself, and get around the house with a walker. Only the paralyzed can fully understand little triumphs.29. According to the fourth paragraph, what did Andrew Garud mean?A. Everyone in the world has the right to be alive. B. It's necessary for people to do exercise to keep healthy.C. One should try to lead a better life. D. As long as a person is alive, he will have a chance to be better. 30.

Strong-mindedness. C. Sympathy. D. Generosity. 32. According to the passage, we can learn that _. A. the stroke during the operation on his brain led to Kraus' paralysisB. Kraus' operation in 2002 was performed by Andrew GarudC. doing exercise can help cure Parkinson's diseaseD. Kraus will lead a normal life as a healthy person in the futureD.This was a story about Old Tom the killer whale. I had heard of the killers that helped whalers catch huge whales. When I worked at a whaling station, I witnessed it many times. One afternoon, I heard a loud noise coming from the bay. We ran down to the shore in time to see an enormous animal throwing itself out of the water. George, one of the whalers, told me that it was Old Tom, the killer, who was telling us theres a whale. Another whalers yelled out to announce a whale hunt. We immediately headed out into the bay, with Old Tom showing us the way. Using a telescope we saw that several killers over the whale were throwing themselves on top of the whales blow-hole to stop it breathing, while others were stopping it diving or fleeing out to sea. Then the man in the bow of the boat aimed at the whale and killed it. These killers never harmed or attacked people. Once when we were in the bay, the sea was rough, for which James was carried away by waves. Worse still, there was a shark. Fortunately, Old Tom rescued James.33. What happened to James after he was washed off the boat?A. He got hurt by a shark.B. He was abandoned by the other whalers and felt terrified.C. He dropped his hope and was nearly dying.D.

Here are some of my best tips on how to do both： Break a bad habit. You don't really “break” habits. 36 So if your problem is that you eat too much when you get home from work, find something new to do that is incompatible（不能共存的）with what you usually do. You can't walk around the track at the school and pig out in your kitchen at the same time. Grow your marriage. 37 It's always a give-and-take, always requires work. It's like if you planted a garden and came back six months lateryou wouldn't even be able to find it. _38_ Beat stress. My dog, Maggie, is the best anti-stress tool I have. A few minutes petting, scratching or playing with her, and _39_ Exercise also helps. Just about every day, I'm on the tennis court. It's a great workout, and if I don't have that, I don't cope as well, sleep as well or think as well. Refocus your anger. Expressing your anger is just not that good an idea. You say things you don't mean. _40_ When you do that, you're a problem solver. Don't medicate with food. It never, ever works. You're denying your issue by eating your way through it，instead of saying, “ Hey, I've got a problem.”A. You replace the unwanted behaviors with something that prevents you from doing it and that doesn't have unhealthy side effects. B. I'll feel easy. C. If there is a problem, you needn't deal with it immediately. D. You have to tend it, feed it, weed it, deal with the problems. E. Instead, recognize that anger is usually a symptom of hurt, fear or frustration, and deal with the causes rather than blow up. F. Relationships are negotiated（协商）, and the negotiation never stops. G. You do something without any good effect on your health during the time when you usually do something harmful to your body.第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Robotics expert Maja J. Mataric characterizes a robot as being autonomous, or self-governing, at least to some extent. This means it is capable of making 41 . An ordinary 42 , such as an electric drill（电钻）, is not capable of making decisions, 43 in time, electric drills might be able to decide the best 44 to rotate（旋转） the drill bit for maximum drilling efficiency. Robots are already at this stage, according to Mataric. 45 an ordinary machine, a robot often has 46 , such as light sensors. These give the robot additional functionality, acting in part like human senses. This feature is even 47 in some toy 48 , such as the Lego Mindstorms NXT system, which 49 touch sensors, and even a color sensor. A robot can use data 50 from its sensors to know when a state has changed and then take appropriate 51 . For example, if a robot had a rain detector（探测器） on its head, it could activate（刺激） a head umbrella when 52 began to fall. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), a world authority on the subject, believes this kind of response is artificial intelligence 53 real 54 , yet concedes（承认） some robots are much 55 than humans at some things.Robots are often humanoid, or similar to humans in appearance, such as Honda's ASIMO robot. 56 machines are not. All machines and robots that have ever been made on Earth are human creations. 57 , if you believe the prophecies（预言） of science fiction, perhaps one day, robots will be intelligent enough to build their own machines and design 58 too. 59 , the current peaceful 60 between man and robots will continue.41.
