In 1956, Phoenix, Arizona, was a city with boundless blue skies. One day as I walked around the house with my sister Kathy’s new parakeet on my finger, I wanted to show
Perky 36 the sky looked like. Maybe he could make a little bird 37 out there. I
took him into the backyard, and then, to my 38 , Perky flew off. The enormous blue sky swallowed up my sister’s blue 39 and suddenly he had gone,clipping its wings.
Kathy managed to 40 me. With fake optimism, she even tried to reassure me that
Perky would find a new 41 . But I was far too clever to 42 that such a thing was possible.
Decades later, I watched my own 43 growing. We shared their activities, spending soccer Saturdays in folding chairs with the 44 of the kids’ friends, the Kissells. The two families went camping around Arizona together. We became the 45 of friends. One evening, the game was to tell Great Pet stories. One person claimed to 46 the oldest living goldfish. Someone else had a psychic dog. 47 Barry, the father of the other family, took the floor and 48 that the Greatest Pet of All Time was his blue parakeet, Sweetie Pie.

―The best thing 49 Sweetie Pie,‖ he said, ―was the 50 we got him. One day, when I was about eight, out of the clear, blue sky, a little blueparakeet just 51 down and landed on my finger.‖
When I was finally able to 52 , we examined the amazing evidence. The datesand the locations and the pictures of the bird all 53 . It seems ourtwo families had been 54 long before we ever met.

第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，40分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，共30分）
A
First, you ought to know that I’m “only” fourteen. My mother points this out often. I can make my own decisions when I’m old enough to vote, she says. Second, I should tell you that she’s right — I’m not always responsible. I sometimes take the prize for grade-A dork（呆子）. Take last weekend for instance. I was staying at Dad’s, and I decided it was time I learned to drive. It was Sunday morning, 7 A.M., and I hadn’t slept well. I’d been up thinking about an argument, which I’ll tell you about in a minute. Well, nobody was up yet in the neighborhood, so I thought it couldn’t hurt to back the car out of the garage and drive around the block. But Dad has a clutch（离合器）car. The ―R‖ on the shift handle was up on the left side, right next to first gear（档位）. I guess you can guess the rest.
Dad’s always been understanding. He didn’t say, ―Okay, little Miss Know-It-All, you can just spend the rest of the year paying this off,‖ which is what Mom would have said. Instead, Dad worried about what might have happened to me. And that made me feel more guilty than anything. I think he’d be a better number-one caregiver, but I can’t say things like that to Mom. To her, I have to say, ―But Mom, Dad’s place is closer to school. I could ride my bike,‖ to which she replies, ―Amy Lynn, you don’t own a bike. Remember? You left it in the yard, and it was stolen. And you haven’t got the patience to earn the money to replace it.‖ 56. The writer feels guilty because she ________.
A. made her dad worry C. broke the law incident
57. The main conflict between the writer and her mother is about whether she ________.
A. can make her own decisions
B. ruined the car
D. didn’t tell her mom about the car
7
B. should live with her mom or her dad C. should be allowed to drive
D. should pay for things she loses or breaks 58. The writer’s mother thinks the writer is ________.
A. too attached to her dad C. too shy
B. too emotional D. irresponsible
59. In the first sentence, the writer used ―only‖ to suggest that she ________.
A. doesn’t want to grow old
B. thinks fourteen is old enough for some things C. wishes she were older
D. thinks fourteen is an embarrassing age

If asked if space exploration should continue, most Americans would give an immediate response either in favor of continuing or in favor of ending space
exploration. A common response would be that space exploration is a waste of money. An average American, uneducated on the subject, might believe that the government is wasting billions of dollars on the research that has no merit. Someone strange to the subject might say that a space shuttle goes up once in a while and that is about all that happens. Research is ongoing and continues when there are no shuttles being launched. This also costs the government money. Does the extreme cost of space exploration make sense?
One argument is that the government is wasting money on the research not being used on Earth. Actually, the money goes to workers and scientists that support National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) missions (任务), and goes to major companies that play important roles in major sectors of the US economy. Boeing is a partner of NASA for aircraft, the same company that makes commercial aircraft for the airline industry.
Another benefit to continuing space exploration is the many spinoff (衍生的) technologies it provides. The artificial heart resulted from experiments on the space shuttle. The handheld Jaws of Life used to save victims from car accidents originated from the system used to separate the space shuttle from its booster rockets. Insulation in homes that keeps them warm and energy efficient is based on the technology used to insulate the space shuttle.
There are direct benefits to the economy provided by NASA missions as well as spinoff technologies. These advances are found in food, building materials, medical procedures and the vehicles we drive. While it can be proven that billions of dollars
10
that could be used elsewhere is being spent on space exploration, the benefits it provides outweigh the terrible aspects. As a matter of fact, the money spent helps to improve the quality of our lives.
63. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?
A. By offering analyses.
B. By making comparisons. D. By presenting research
C. By giving some examples. findings.
64. The function of Jaws of Life is to _____.
A. save people from traffic accidents B. do experiments on the space shuttle C. keep houses warm and energy efficient D. separate the space shuttle from its booster rockets 65. In the author’s opinion, space exploration _____.
A. has changed our life completely C. benefits us in many ways
B. costs too much of our time D. has nothing to do with us
66. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Benefits of space exploration B. Is space exploration worth the cost? C. How to make space exploration affordable D. Missions of the NASA space shuttle program
D
Are you an optimist? Do you look at your glass and see it as half full? Do you believe that every cloud has a silver lining and that things generally turn out for the best? Do you believe that if something is meant to be, it will be? If you reply ―yes‖ to all of these questions, then you are an optimist. You probably are enthusiastic, cheerful and outgoing. You may be successful at work and in love.
But you may be misguided because things don't turn out for the best. You may believe that when on door closes another one opens(for example, you may fail to
11
obtain a new job; another chance will come around soon). Wrong. When one door closes, another door slams(砰然关上)in your face. That's bitter reality.
Now a book has been published which confirms what pessimists(悲观者)have suspected all along. it's called The Positive Power of Defensive Pessimism. Its author argues that defensive pessimism can lead to positive results. Defensive pessimism is a strategy used to manage fear, anxiety and worry. Defensive pessimists prepare for the tings by setting low outcomes for themselves. They carefully consider everything that may go wrong and plan for ways to handle these problems. And this gives them a sense of control. Lawrence Sanno, a psychology professor, says, ―What's interesting about defensive pessimists is that they tend to be very successful people, so their low opinion of the situation's outcomes is not realistic. They use it to motivate themselves to perform better.‖
So far，so good. This is not rocket science. Defensive pessimists prepare carefully and consider what might go wrong, whether at work, on date or even in a sports game. It makes sense to have a back-up plan. There are many sayings in English urging caution. For example, ―Don't put all your eggs in one basket.‖
And ―Don't count your chickens until they hatch.‖ To have a confident and optimistic approach to life's problems is good. But listen to what Woody Alien, the American comedian says ,‖Confidence is what you have before you understand the problem.‖
There are pros and cons to being an optimist and a pessimist. Don't feel bad if you see the glass half empty. You are a realist But lighten up and hook up with someone who sees the same glass half full. 67. What's the passage mainly about?
A.A book that has recently been published. B.How to become successful in life C.The dangers of being too optimistic. pessimism.
68. The underlined sentence ―This is not rocket science‖(Para.4)means ______.
A. it's not a dangerous thing to do C. the cost is not so high
D.The benefits of defensive
B. it is quite simple to understand D. there is no real proof
12
69. Which of the following English expressions would a defensive pessimist believe?
A. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. empty.
C. Whatever will be, will be. lining.
70. The writer would probably describe himself as ______.
A. an optimist scientist

For the rest of March, a disease will sweep across the US. It will keep kids home from school. __71__Employees will suddenly lose their ability to concentrate.

Two years ago, the little-known George Mason University was one of the final teams.__74__ College basketball players are not paid, so the game is more about making a name for their university and themselves. __75__About $4 billion will be spent gambling on the event.

Dear Peter,
I’ve learned from the Couchsurfing Web that you’d like to host the travellers from all over the world.
I’m a boy of 17, a high school student from Beijing. Having learned English for
16
several years, I can communicate with others in English fluently. I like travelling very much, and have visited many places and cities home and abroad so far. Photography is one of my hobbies. I wonder if you could guide me to explore New York City if you are not busy.
I will appreciate it if you could offer me your floor or a sofa to stay for 3 days for free. By the way, could you please pick me up at the airport since I’ve never been to America before.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you. Yours, Li Tao
第二节（20分）
Last Friday, as usual I rode my bike home. But at a crossing, I accidentally knocked an old man off his bike. I hurried over and found his leg was injured.
Nervous and worried, I called my mom and told her what had happened. We decided to take him to the hospital first.
Soon after we arrived at the hospital, my mother came. The doctor gave the old man a thorough examination. To our delight and relief, there was nothing seriously wrong with him. We thanked the doctor and left.
After that, we went back to where the bike was parked only to find it didn’t work. So I immediately found a repairman to get it fixed. Before the old man left, my mom offered him our cell phone number in case he needed to contact us. Then the old man got on his bike and we waved goodbye to each other.
The accident made me realize that in the first place we should be careful to avoid accidents, but once they occur, we should take responsibility.
