Then one 38 morning he said good morning to the driver and smiled before he sat down. The driver 39 guardedly. The rest of us were silent.

The summer went by, and 48 was closing in, when one morning Charlie wasn't waiting at his usual 49 . When he wasn't there the next day and the day after that, we started wondering if he was sick or — 50 — on holiday somewhere.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，共40分）

第一节：(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项

A.

His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, while trying to eke（补充） out a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog (沼泽地). He dropped his tools and ran to the bog. There, mired（陷于泥坑）to his waist in black muck（淤泥） was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could have been a slow and terrifying death.

The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse(稀疏的) surroundings. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as

the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved.

"I want to repay you," said the nobleman. "You saved my son's life."

"No, I can't accept payment for what I did," the Scottish farmer replied, waving off the offer. At that moment, the farmer's own son came to the door of the family hovel（茅舍）.

"Is that your son?" the nobleman asked. "Yes," the farmer replied proudly.

"I'll make you a deal. Let me take him and give him a good education. If the lad is anything like his father, he'll grow to a man you can be proud of."

And that he did. In time, Farmer Fleming's son graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London, and went on to become known throughout the world as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of Penicillin.

Years afterward, the nobleman's son was stricken with pneumonia(肺炎).

What saved him? Penicillin.

The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill.

His son's name? Sir Winston Churchill.

56. Whose life did the Scottish farmer save?

A. Lord Randolph Churchill's.

B. Sir Winston Churchill's.

C. Sir Alexander Fleming's

D. Penicillin's.

57. Why did the nobleman take the farmer's son and give him a good education?

A. The nobleman wanted to bring him up to be a man like his father.

B. The farmer was too poor to afford his son's education.

C. The nobleman wanted to pay back the farmer for saving his son.

D. The farmer wanted to make his son become a proud man.

58. What kind of person could the farmer Fleming probably be?

A. Kind, brave and generous.

B. Kind, shy and merciful.

C. Kind, innocent and passive.

D. Kind, brave and honest.

59. Which of the following might be NOT TRUE according to the text?

A. The farmer saved the nobleman's son twice.

B. The nobleman's son later became a great person.

C. The farmer's son later became a great person.

B.

Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.

Recite and repeat in conversation.

When you hear a person’s name，repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does

not sound forced or artificial.

Ask the other person to recite and repeat.

You can let other people help you remember their names. After you’ve been introduced to someone，ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names.

Admit you don’t know.

Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relax ed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say. “I’m working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?”

Use associations.

Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example，you could make a mental note: "Vicki Cheng -- tall, black hair." To reinforce(加强) your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.

Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.

When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.

Go early.

Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That's fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others—an automatic review for you.

60. How many ways to remember names are mentioned in this text?

A. Three

B. Four

C. Five

D. Six

61. How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names?

A. They will be moved.

B. They will be delighted.

C. They will be annoyed.

D. They will be discouraged.

62. If you can't remember someone's name, you may ________

A. tell him the truth

B. tell him a white lie

C. ask him for pity

D. ask others to help you

63. What does the text mainly tell us?

A. Tips on an important social skill.

B. Importance of attending parties.

C. How to make use of associations.

D. How to recite and repeat names.

C.

Boxing games are truly widely supported by a lot of people over the world . The sport involves two people fighting with each other inside a ring with a referee making

sure that the fight goes on smoothly. The fighters have to be of the same weight to be able to fight and they make use of their fists according to the rules of competition.

There are three ways in winning the game. First, you have to knock out the challenger. Secondly, there is the technical knockout (击倒). This usually happens when the rival is seriously hurt and unable to carry on and defend himself. Thirdly, each boxer gets on with the fight until the last round is over and done with and the winner is judged according to the scores he gets.

The first boxing champion was James Figg who came from England. It was in 1719 that the word "boxing" was known. The sport then was completely different from what you are used to seeing and observing nowadays. In 1743 Jack Broughton, a boxing title holder, was responsible for coming up with the rules and regulations to make the fight more manageable.

Under these rules, a boxer who falls and does not fight after 30 seconds has elapsed is declared the loser and any fighter is prevented from hitting his opponent when he is already down. Broughton was also the one who created the mufflers -- a kind of gloves with padding which were used during presentations and training.

Today, the sport has a total of 12 rounds with three minutes playing time for each round. Boxers are given a minute for them to rest or for consultation with their respective coaches. A referee has the responsibility of making sure that the boxers carry on with the fight according to the rules of the sport. The judges have the task of evaluating each fighter and give the fighter scores according to their punches(拳法).

64. Which ways decide that the boxer is the winner in the boxing game?

a. The boxer is prevented from hitting his opponent.

b. The boxer is unable to carry on and defend himself.

c. The boxer is given the highest scores by the judges.

d. The boxer has to knock out the challenger technically.

e The boxer falls but is able to fight after 30 seconds.

f. The boxer is able to get on with fight until the last round.

A. a,b,c

B. d, e, f,

C. c, d, f

D. a, b, e

65. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?

A. The first boxing champion was James Figg from Scotland.

B. Jack Broughton created a kind of gloves with paddling for boxers.

C. The coaches evaluate each fighter and give the fighter scores.

D. In 1719 the rules for boxing games were put forward.

66. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?

A. Regulations for Boxing Game.

B. Three Ways to Win Boxing Game.

C. The First Boxing Champion

D. The Story Behind Boxing

Teenagers learn by taking on more and more responsibility gradually. For many parents, this involves giving their children a limited amount of control over financial decisions.

If you give your teen some pocket money regularly, take the time to teach them how to manage their money. 71 Consider providing extra income opportunities to help them learn that money is something you earn, not something you can get for nothing.

72 Discuss with them such issues as what the car can be used for, who is responsible for gas and maintenance, and who can actually drive the car. Show them how auto insurance works.

Get them involved with your day-to-day personal finance decisions, such as grocery shopping. 73 Show them how to comparison shop, pointing out how much money you save through comparing prices and using coupons. Let them sit with you while you pay the bills, so they can see how much all the monthly expenses add up to.

Encourage teens to save their money toward a major purchase. Besides, you can offer to reward them for their savings. 74

75 You might even consider showing them your bills when you pay them. Too often, young adults who get their first credit card consider it as free money and find themselves in debt very quickly. Make them understand that the $50 they charge today costs a lot more if they don’t pay it off quickly.

A. Another effective tool is to get them involved in the car buying process.

B. It’s easier to spend money than to earn it.

C. Finally, it is important to show teens how credit cards work

D. Establish an agreement on what the pocket money covers.

E. This is a great way to teach them the relationship between building a savings

account and the positive rewards that follow.

F. Without money, you can’t do anything.

G. Have them help you with the grocery list.

I’d like to register to attend a course about gardening because I have liked flowers and grasses since I was a child. I especially like playing in the garden

where I can enjoy

the beauty of nature.

For another, after graduation from college，I will devote my life to cultivating flowers and grasses to turn our country into a more beautiful state ,which will attract more foreigners to visit .

Looking forward to your early reply.

Yours，
