三、完形填空（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分）

It was yearbook day and we were given an hour to sign each other’s yearbooks in the cafeteria.

I was president of the class and I played sports. When I sat down at a table, people started to come over to get their yearbooks signed and to sign __35__.

Among them, a weak boy with ugly teeth and thick glasses kept shaking. I had seen him around, and I knew he was always laughed at. He seemed __36__ of himself, and was so pale that it hurt us to look at him.

He came up and asked me nervously, “Can you sign this?” I took his yearbook but I didn’t know __37__ to write. I saw that there was the name “Ricky Sanders” written on the front of it. So I wrote:

My friends broke into a loud laugh, and I saw that he was carefully frying to put a signature in my yearbook. He hadn’t even finished the “R” yet. I thought for a while and __40__ to let him sign.

四、阅读理解（本大题共13小题，每小题2分，共26分）

(A)

Why does the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side!

That’s an old joke in the west, but it came to my mind again when I saw people crossing the road at the intersection of Shanxi Road and Huaihai Road in Shanghai.

When the traffic light was red, a group of people were waiting for the light to change. Suddenly one man began rushing to the other side of the road. Soon others followed him at the crossing and more people did the same. Just like chickens, they didn’t mind the honking horns(喇叭声) and kept crossing the road in a mess.

Every year several thousand people are either killed or hurt on the roads in Shanghai. And at least one third of them were jaywalking(乱穿马路). Jaywalking is very common in Shanghai. It seems that jaywalkers are not afraid of the danger to themselves.

Traffic laws are to keep people safe. So we should obey them, and have good road-crossing habits. When someone starts to jaywalk, we should stop him, and never follow him. That way we can avoid the traffic accidents.

( ) 45. The underlined word “intersection” here probably means “”.

A. road

B. bridge

C. crossing

D. traffic ( ) 46. The writer saw people in Shanghai that day.

A. crossing the road in a mess

B. waiting for the green light patiently

C. crossing the road with chickens

D. hurting each other in the street

( ) 47. How does the writer like what he saw in Shanghai that day?

A. He thinks it’s OK.

B. He thinks it’s wrong.

C. He has no idea of it.

D. He doesn’t mention it

（B）

If are joining in chat room conversations, or writing e-mails with net pals(网友), you are one of the millions who write in a special, short form of English.

Throughout the world, every night children and their elders are “talking” online — many of them are talking at the same time.

It’s fast: trying talking to six people once. It’s easy: three or four words per exchange. It takes cleverness and quick fingers.

And it requires very simple language. There’s neither time nor space for explanations. Why waste valuable time telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB (=be right back) will do?

Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI (=pardon me for jumping in).

Interested in whom you’re talking to? Type A/S/L, the common request (要求) to know your pal’s age, sex (性别) and location (地点). You may get 15/M/NY as a reply from your pal.

If something makes you laugh, say you’re OTF (=on the floor), or LOL (=laughing out loud), or join the two into ROTFL (=rolling on the floor laughing).

And when it’s time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG (=got to go) or TTYL (=talk to you later).

People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital（大写字母）letters are left in the dust, except when expressing feelings, as it takes more time to hold down the “shift” key and use capitals. Punctuation (标点) is going too.

48. The sentence “There’s neither time nor space for explanations” means that .

A. people should use words properly

B. people should communicate in a funny way

C. people online can express themselves in a simple way

D. people should know what time it is when they are talking

49. If you get 17/F/NY as an answer to your A/S/L, it means .

A. you are talking to 17 girls who are from New York

B. you are talking to a girl who is 17 and lives in New York

C. the people you are talking to is a 17-foot tall New York girl

D. the people on the other end is 17 from New York and he is fine

50. Which of the following is a way to save online time?

A. People only use the mouse instead of the keyboard.

B. Many people draw pictures instead of typing letters.

C. People never use the “shift” key as it takes more time.

D. People seldom use capital letters or punctuation marks.

（C）

Einstein often received invitations to explain his theories (原理) at different universities. On these trips, his driver was always the same man called Hans. Hans often said to him. “It is a pleasure to drive a talent like you, Dr Einstein.”

One evening, on their way to a university, Einstein said, “I’m so tired. I wish I could avoid giving my speech tonight, Hans, but I don’t want to let my audience (观众) down.”

“I know what to do,”said Hans. “I can give the speech for you. You can trust me. I’ve listened to your speech so many times that I’ve learnt it by heart. No one knows you at this university, so they won’t find out.”

So, they changed places. At the university, Hans was guided to the front of the hall. Einstein took a seat, listened to Hans give his speech without difficulty, and joined in the applause (掌声) at the end.

However, before Hans left, a man shouted, “I’d like to ask you a question.” He then asked a question so difficult that Hans had no idea what he was talking about.

Einstein turned pale. “Oh , no! ? ,” he thought. “Now we’re in trouble.” But Hans just

laughed and said, “That’s such an easy question that even my driver can answer it. Hans,

please…”

Einstein stood up and answered the question perfectly.

They left the university, with Einstein driving. A little later, Hans offered to drive. “No,”

laughed Einstein. “It’s a pleasure to drive a talent like you, Hans.”

point, falling action and ending. Which do you think is the turning point of it?

B. A man asked a difficult question.

C. H ans offered to give a speech for Einstein.

D. H ans asked Einstein to answer the question. 53. W hat would be the best title for this story?

A. Great Minds

B. An unforgettable Speech

C. Two Talents

D. An Easy Question

（D ）

Saying no starts small

“ All right then ---just one more piece…” Words every girl has said when they are faced with the delicious cheesecake. Of course, many of us know we may eat the whole thing in the end.

It isn’t just girls. Most of us find it hard to say “no” to something attractive. However,

scientists now say that willpower(意志力) is very important to success and a happy life.

Scientists in different countries have been studying the effects of willpower on people’s lives

for a long time. The results are similar, according to an article on February 7 in the Guardian, a famous British newspaper.

In one experiment, scientists told young children that they could either have a marshmallow

(软糖) now, or two marshmallows in 15 minutes. Waiting obviously needed more willpower. Scientists then continued studying the children as they grew up. They wanted to see if some children always had stronger willpower. They also wanted to see how having stronger willpower affected their lives.

Years later, scientists found that the children who had waited for two marshmallows were all

healthier , happier and richer adults. Oppositely, the children who had shown weaker willpower at that young age were more likely to be in low-paid jobs, to be overweight, to have social problems.

But there is hope, Roy F Baumeister, an American social psychology(心理学) professor(教授)

told the Guardian . Baumeister says we can train our willpower just like we train our muscles(肌肉). Even a little practice can strengthen our overall self-control if we do it regularly.

You could start by making yourself stand up straight, speaking in complete sentences, or using

a computer mouse with the other hand. Scientists have found that people who manage to change little habits often perform much better in laboratory willpower tests.

Like muscles, willpower can “get tired”. Don’t try to do too many things at the same time, or

when you don’t have enough energy, for example when you are ill. If you already feel tired, you c an try to rechange(恢复) your willpower with a good night’s sleep and by eating well.

( ) 54. The example of a girl eating cheesecake is used to ________________.

A. prove that girls have weak willpower

B. introduce the topic of willpower to the readers

C. show that cheesecake is especially attractive to girls

D. show the connection between willpower and success

( ) 55. What can we infer(推断) from the experiment?

A. The scientists had already known the results before the experiment.

B. It showed that willpower is the most important to success and a happy life.

C. The children who chose to wait were more likely to be successful in their lives.

D. The children who chose only one marshmallow at first had stronger willpower. ( ) 56. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the training of willpower?

A. You should have a goal every day.

B. Good rest and proper diet can help.

C. Willpower needs to be exercised regularly.

D. Keep willpower from being used too much.

( ) 57. What is the article mainly about?

A. How willpower and muscles are similar and how they can be trained.

B. How willpower affects people’s lives and how it is similar to muscles.

C. How willpower is important to success and how we can make it stronger.

D. How willpower is connected with success and how they affect each other.
