Each day, a train would come and the bridge would be turned sideways across the river, allowing the train to cross it. A man sat in a small room on one side of the river where he operated (操作) the controls to turn the bridge and lock it into place when a train came.  One evening, when the man saw the train lights, he stepped to the controls and tried to turn the bridge into position, but, to his surprise, he found the locking control did not work. If the bridge was not safe in position, it would move back and forth at the ends, causing the train to jump the track and go crashing into the river. The man hurried across the bridge to the other side of the river where there was a locking lever (操纵杆) that he could operate by hand. Suddenly, he heard a sound from the direction of his room, “Daddy, where are you?”   His four-year-old son was crossing the bridge to look for him. If he took the boy away from the bridge first, he couldnt get back to the lever in time. But if he didnt, the boy would be killed by the train. Either the people on the train or his little son must die   The train passed safely and no one on the train saw the small broken body that was thrown into the river by the train. Nor did they see the man who was still holding the locking lever. 21What happened one evening when the train came?AThe man didnt see the train coming.BThe man found the locking control didnt work.CThe man was playing with his son on the bridge.DThe bridge was broken.22What can we infer from the passage?AThere was something wrong with the lock control of the bridge.BThe train passed the bridge safely at last.CThe father gave up his son for the safety of people on the train.DThere was a locking lever on the other side of the river.23Whats the best title of the passage?AA Sad StoryBA Poor Boy CA Lucky Train DA Great FatherBThey crossed in front of me as I was driving out of the store parking lot. At first I was angry at being delayed (耽搁) for a whole ten seconds. I quickly became patient when I realized that this was an elderly couple. The man leaned (倚靠) on his wife who walked in front of him. He not only used her for support but it was obvious that he was blind. The two of them worked as oneeach needing the other to function in this fast-changing world. That little example of true strength changed my whole personal understanding of life that day. Suddenly I wasnt so mad about having to work a few extra hours on Sundays. I had my strength, and I was still relatively young. That picture of those two elderly people walking with dignity and strength stayed with me the entire week. My life wasnt so bad after all. I had my health and a good job. I had a wonderful, supportive wife. I started to think - not only was I lucky to have it all, but so was that wonderful old couple, who, despite the trials and sufferings of a long life, still had the love and support of each other to carry them through this world. There are so many people out there just like that couple. My wife and I sometimes picture ourselves in our old age, walking arm-in-arm into the sunset. That image always gives us a warm feeling of comfort. Just remember, none of us would be here if it wasnt for our elders. We should all have extra time and patience when it comes to helping our elder friends.24When the author was about to drive away, the couple _.Aentered the store Bhit his car Cgot in his way Dasked him for help25After he saw the couple, the author would _.Adrive at a low speed Bnever think of his wifeCbe impatient to the end Dspend less time complaining26What did the author think of the couple?AThey lived a happier life than he BTheir lasting love was highly thought of.CThey didnt live a life without hardships DThey won respect by walking together.27What would be the best title for this passage?ASpend an Extra Minute BStay with Your WifeCBe Careful When Driving DRespect the old, PleaseCYou either have it, or you dont - a sense of direction. But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map, while others can lose themselves in the next street?Scientists say were all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works. One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we dont use it, we lose it.“Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around,” says Jim Martland, Research Director of the project. “However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills.”Jim Marland also said that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions:· If you are using a map, turn it so it relates to the way you are facing.· If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree. Note landmarks on the route (路线) as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the same route.· Simplify the way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or walls in the countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where you are.28.Scientists believe that _.A. some babies are born with a sense of directionB. people learn a sense of direction as they grow olderC. people never lose their sense of directionD. everybody has a sense of direction from birth29.What is true of seven-year-old children according to the passage?A.They never have a sense of direction without maps.B.They should never be allowed out alone if they dont have a sense of direction.C.They have a sense of direction and can find their way around.D.They can develop a good sense of direction if they are driven around in a car.30.

According to the passage, the best way to find your way around is to _.A.ask policemen for directionsB.use walls, streams, and streets to guide yourselfC.remember your route by looking out for steps and stairsD.count the number of landmarks that you see32. What is the main idea of this passage?A.Children has a better sense of directionB.Children have the ability to find their way aroundC.The ways to improve sense of directionD.Everyone is born with a sense of direction and it can be improved DSea farming is one of the brightest hopes for finding an answer to the world food problem. Although it may be years before sea farming produces large quantities of food, it is already successful. One of its success is the growing of oysters (牡蛎), which are very good to eat.Oyster farming is a big new business on Cape Cod, where large crops of oysters have been harvested. The waters there were famous for oysters until the supply gave out about fifteen years ago. “There's a whole age group of people who have never eaten oysters”, said Kari Touraine, manager of a company that grows oysters on nylon strings (尼龙线) hanging from metal frames (框架).“For about twenty years the oyster has been in short supply, and our aim is to turn around this by using new, modem growing techniques (技术),” he explained.“Wareham, on Cape Cod, is the first place in the US where oysters are being grown on frames just off the bottom of the sea”, said Mr. Touraine. “Its been done successfully in Norway and Australia and, in the last few years, in Spain. The Japanese have used this form of sea farming for years, and they're the most successful, with a yearly crop of more than forty-six thousand pounds of oysters an acre.”Mr. Touraines group grows on strings, away from the bottom so that the oysters natural enemies cannot reach them. “When an oyster can be kept away from enemies and live in unpolluted water with plenty to eat, hell grow fat”, Kari noted happily.33. The off-bottom method _ .A. is used in at least 5 countries B. was used in Wareham fifteen years ago C. is used to make oysters fat D. was introduced from Japan34. The word “acre” in the fourth paragraph means _. A. measure of length B. measure of land C. unit(单位) of weight D. unit of height35. The best title for the text is .A. Oyster Supply B. Food on Strings C. New Hope for Food D. Modern Growing Technique第二节 七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 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，选项中又两项为多余选项。The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where weve never been before.But just as in face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line. _36_Imagine how youd feel if you were in the other persons shoes.For anything youre about to send, ask yourself, “Would I say this to the persons face?” If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. _37_If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct （本能）is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so. _38_If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room._39_Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether its a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesnt give you license to correct everyone else. _40_At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status.

Repeat the process till you feel sure that youd feel comfortable saying the words to the persons face.第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45）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，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并答题卡上将该项涂黑。Albert Einstein said， “In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.” Once 41 ， such opportunities are like valuable diamonds hidden in the sand.Several years ago， I spoke at a school about how we are surrounded(包围) by“ 42 ”if we could only recognize them.
