Dear George,

When your big brother and your little dog and I 36 you up

to school today, you had no idea 37 I was feeling.

You were so excited. You had 38 and unpacked the washable markers and safety scissors in your backpack a dozen times. I am really going to 39 those lazy mornings when we waved your brother and sister 40 to school. I’d 41 in with my coffee and newspaper, handing you the comics to color while you watched Sesame Street.

Because you are my youngest, I had learned a few things by the time you 42 . I found out that the seemingly 43 days of babyhood are gone like lightning. I blinked（眨眼）, and your older brothers and sisters were setting off for school as 44 as you did this morning.

By the time it was your 45 , the shining prizes of career advancement and a double income has lost their brightness. A day in the swimming pool with you or “just one more” rereading of your favorite book meant 46 .

You didn’t go to 47 and I hope that doesn’t hold you back. You learned numbers by helping me count the soda cans we returned to the store. (You could usually charm me into letting you pick out a 48 with the money we got back.)

I have to admit that an image of 49 while you’re in school had developed. I see myself updating all the photo albums and starting that novel I always wanted to write. As the summer was 50 out and more frequent quarrels 51 between you and your brother and sisters, I was looking forward to today.

And then this morning. I walked you up the hill to your classroom. You found the coat hook （挂钩）52 your name above it right away, and you gave me one of your characteristically fierce, too-tight hugs. This time you were ready to let go 53 I was.

Maybe someday you will 54 a kindergartner to the first day of school. When you turn at the door to wave good-bye, he or she will be too deep in conversation with a new friend to notice. Even as you smile, you’ll feel something55 on your cheek.

And then, you’ll know.

Love, Mom 36．A．drove B．walked C．sent D．rode 37．A．how B．what C．whether D．that 38．A．charged B．covered C．packed D．sharpened 39．A．pray B．measure C．promote D．miss 40．A．off B．away C．in D．out 41．A．share B．lay C．settle D．rush 42．A．came along B．went through C．came about D．went off 43．A．irregular B．relevant C．typical D．endless 44．A．casually B．eagerly C．extremely D．delicately 45．A．turn B．time C．day D．instance 46．A．much B．more C．less D．little 47．A．clinic B．college C．school D．preschool 48．A．toy B．football C．book D．treat

49．A．me B．myself C．you D．yourself 50．A．dropping B．turning C．running D．pressing 51．A．erupted B．enlarged C．folded D．parted 52．A．without B．with C．in D．on 53．A．after B．when C．before D．as 54．A．contribute B．develop C．collect D．deliver 55．A．cold B．sweet C．warm D．sour

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A

BEIJING-When Francesca Schiavone of Italy kissed the women’s singles trophy at Roland Garros last year, becoming the first Italian woman to win a Grand Slam title, Li Na, who was beaten by Schiavone in the fourth-round, said: "If she can do that, maybe I can do that too." So when Li took on Schiavone once again in the final at the French Open on Saturday, she simply would not let her golden opportunity slip away.

And she did it in the best possible way. Li hammered the defending champion 6-4, 7-6(0), bringing China and also Asia its first Grand Slam title.

After Schiavone sent a backhand long, Li screamed with delight and fell to the ground. Then she picked herself up, skipped towards the net, gave her opponent a big hug and then bashed in the passionate applause of the spectators at Court Philippe Chatrier.

"I was so happy when she hit the last ball out that I almost cried. I tried to control myself not to cry," Li said. "I have played professional tennis for 12 years and I am so happy that my efforts have paid off."

Sharpened by her pervious Grand Slam final experience - at the Australian Open where she lost to Belgian Kim Clijsters - Li displayed a kind of all-conquering maturity that helped her to catch up with Schiavone at 6-6 in the second set and force a tiebreak, which she went on to win 7-0.

"I was nervous but I didn't want to show my opponent. So I was cheating (faking) a little bit," Li said.

The 29-year-old Wuhan native paid special gratitude to her husband, Jiang Shan, who served as her coach before Denmark's Michael Mortensen joined her team in May.

"Although he (Jiang) is not my coach any more, I want to give many thanks to him. He always understands me and tolerates me ... Thanks for accompanying me all the time."

With the victory, Li will reach No 4 in the world, equaling the previous Asian record set by Japan's Kimiko Date-Krumm in the early 1990s.

Her triumph is expected to provide a major push to a sport already rising fast in China. She said, “I hope after the young people in China looked at my successful match today they will want to do even better than me in the future.”

56．Why did Li Na lie on the ground when her opponent hit the last ball out?

A．Because Li Na was too disappointed.

B．Because Li Na was too excited.

C．Because Li Na was to catch the ball.

A．Her previous strict training B．Her nervousness

C．Her all-conquering maturity D．Her husband’s coac hing

A．attempt B．error C．major D．success

B

Is education compulsory after age 16?

Under the present law, the school leaving age is 16. After the education leaving age will rise to 17. And from it will rise again, to 18.

The government is raising the leaving age because research shows that young people who carry on learning or training until the age of 18 earn more money, are likely to be healthier and less likely to be in trouble with the police.

So although at the moment your child can leave education once they’re 16, it’s worth thinking carefully about the benefits of carrying on.

What options are available after 16?

Education after16 doesn’t just mean staying at school full-time: your child can stay at school, go to college, or take up an apprenticeship or a part-time training course. They can earn money and learn new skills at the same time if they want to.

The main qualifications available are:

Diplomas: providing the background for a range of careers.

V ocational qualifications: for young people who already know what career they want to follow and need training for specific jobs.

A levels: offered as specific mainly academic subjects.

International Baccalaureate: offering a wider range of subjects than A levels

What financial help is available?

If your child continues in education after 16 and your household income is less than ￡30,810 a year, your child should be eligible for up to ￡30 a week to help with their costs. It won’t a ffect any benefits you get as an individual or as a family, and the money will be paid directly into your child’s bank account. This money is known as Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA). 60．What would be the best title for this text?

A．What education is waiting for you after the age of 16?

B．What should you choose for your future after the age of 16?

C．Who can you turn to when in difficulty after the age of 16?

HALF of all Germans want to axe the euro and bring back their mark, according to a vote.

Although the government has been telling the public a year that the grouped European currency (货币) is good for them, 49 per cent of Germans still wish they had the powerful mark in their pockets.

This is one of the highest rates of Germans wanting its return since votes in the 1990s showed close to 70% of them wanted to keep the mark, the currency of their “economic miracle”.

Although there are the concerns, the majority believe the euro is here to stay.

Asked whether the euro would still be country’s currency in 20 years, 55 per cent of the people replied yes. Germany adopted the euro in 1999 along with 10 other countries.

Yellowstone National Park covers nearly 9,000 km; 96% of the park lies in Wyoming, 3% in

Montana and 1% in Idaho. Yellowstone contains half of all the world’s known geothermal feature, with more than 10,000 examples. It also has the world’s largest group of geysers (间歇泉) (more than 300 geysers, or two thirds of all those on the planet). Established in 1872, Yellowstone is equally known for its wildlife, such as grizzly bears wolves, bison and wapitis.

The extraordinary scenic treasures of Yellowstone include the world’s largest collection of geysers, the grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River, numerous waterfalls, and great hands of wildlife.

Yello wstone is one of the world’s best sites for the study and appreciation of the evolutionary history of the earth. Nearly 150 species of fossil (化石) plants, ranging from small fears and rushes up to large Sequoia and many other tree species, have been identi fied in the pad’s abundant fossil deposits.

The park is one of the few remaining undamaged large ecosystems in the northern temperate zone (北温带) of the earth. All plants in the park are allowed to progress through natural process with no direct human management. Forest fires, if started from lightning, are often allowed to burn where possible to permit the natural effects of fire. The park’s bison are the only wild continuously free – ranging bison that once covered the Great Plains and, along with other part wildlife, are one of the greatest attractions.

Yellowstone National Park has become one of North America’s best refuges for rare plant and animal species and also functions as a model for ecosystem processes. The grizzly bear is one of the world’s most deeply studied and best – understood bear populations. This research has led to a greater understanding of the interdependence of ecosystem relationships. Protection of the park’s plants and animals allows biological evolution to develop with little influe nce by man. 68．According to the passage, how many geysers have been found on the earth?

A. Around 300

B. Around 1000

C. Around 450

D. Around 600

69．To know about the evolutionary history of the earth, you can study .

A．the Grand Canyon B．numerous waterfalls

C．great herds of wildlife D．species of fossil plants

70．We can know from the passage that .

A．All plants in the park are allowed to progress through natural process.

B．Forest fires are often started by man to burn where possible.

C．The park’s bison are the only greatest attraction in the park.

D．Ecosystem develops with much influence by man.

US musician and poet Gil Scott-Heron, often called the Godfather of Rap, has died in a New York hospital 62. 71

Scott-Heron was born in Chicago in 1949—the son of a former Britain football player. 72 Scott-Heron’s material covered soul, jazz, blues and the spoken word. His 1970s work heavily influenced the US hip-hop and rap scenes.

73 But the artist himself refused this title. “If there was any individual initiative that I was responsible for, it might have been that there was music in certain poems of mine, with complete progression and repeat ing “hooks”.74 ” Scott-Heron wrote in the introduction to

his 1990 Now and Then collection of poems. Scott-Heron’s music and poetry showed his deep interest in justice and civil rights, and he complained against the consumer society of the 1970s and 80s as well as the development of nuclear technology. He was among the first artists to use his music to attack the apartheid (种族隔离) in South Africa, long before the issue became the focus of a popular global campaign. 75 One of his most famous pieces was The Revolution Will Not Be Televised. In this piece, he criticized the role of race in the mass media and advertising age.

But in a 1998 interview with the Chicago Tribune, Scott-Heron warned against focusing on the political aspect of his work. “If you only focus on the political aspects of our work, you change us. We’ve done 20 albums and not all of the songs on them are political.” He said.

A. But I don’t like football in Britain.

B. His work had a strong political element.

C. He grew up in Tennessee before moving to New York.

D. Scott was so crazy about politics that all of his songs are political.

E. This made them more like songs than just recitations with percussion.

F. The cause of his death is not clear, but he is believed to have become ill after returning

from a visit to Europe.

G. The pioneering style he developed while working with Jackson, mixing minimalist

percussion with poetry, meant that Scott-Heron was often described as the Godfather of rap. 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）
