When we arrived at Gordon’s 45 , he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he stopped a car, which took me to my hometown.

Then I got married, but my husband didn’t believe in giving 46 a ride. This made me feel 47 when we’d pass people waiting on the roadside, as I could 48 offer them the lift they hoped for.

第二部分阅读理解（共两节25小题，每小题2分，满分50分）

第一节：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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）

A

Still seeking a destination for your weekend break? There are some places which are probably a mere walk away from your college.

King’ s Art Centre Ks5u

A day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere. This weekend sees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists.

You could attend a class teaching you how to ?learn from the masters‘ o r get more creative with paint—free of charge.

The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee.

The Botanic Garden Ks5u

The Garden has over 8,000 plant species; it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University.

The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant produces red flowers above blue-green leaves, and is not one to miss.

Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula, a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals.

The Garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts. Look for grass snakes in the lake. A snake called ?Hissing Sid‘ is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun.

Byron’ s Pool

Many stories surround Lord Byron‘s time as a student of Cambridge University. Arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of ―mess and drunkenness‖. However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. I‘m not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his rooms. He spent a great deal of time walking in the village.

It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byron‘s Pool. A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields. The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea. If you don‘t trust me, then perhaps you‘ll take it from Virginia Woolf –over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool.

56. As is mentioned in the passage, there is a small charge for ____.

A. attending the masters‘ class

B. working with local artists

C. learning life drawing

D. seeing an exhibition

57. ―Torch Aloe‖ and ―Venus Flytrap‖ are ____.

A. common insects

B. impressive plants

C. rarely-seen snakes

D. wildlife-enthusiasts

58. We can infer from the passage that Byron seemed ____.

A. to fear pet bears

B. to like walking

C. to be a heavy drinker

D. to finish university in 1805

59. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Some places for weekend break.

B. A way to become creative in art.

D. Unknown stories of Cambridge University.

B

60. What is the color of blood in a vein near the surface of the skin?

A. Blue.

Some years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity. I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day‘ s events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary. I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper. After all, isn‘t accumulating memories a way of preserving(保存) the past?

When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well-equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera. During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across. I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels. On my last night there, I

wandered out of my tent, diary in hand. The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows. I automatically took out my pen….

At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley. All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.

Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling. I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful. I take pictures, but not very often—only of objects I find really beautiful. I‘m no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old. I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.

I don‘t want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes. Maybe I won‘t have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe I‘ll forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me. I don‘t live to make memories—I just live, and the memories form themselves.

64. Before the age of thirteen, the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of ______.

A. observing her school routine

B. expressing her satisfaction

C. impressing her classmates

D. preserving her history

65. What caused a change in the author‘s understanding of keeping a diary?

A. A dull night on the journey.

B. The beauty of the great valley.

C. A striking quotation from a book.

D. Her concerns for future generations.

66. What does the author put in her diary now?

A. Notes and beautiful pictures.

B. Special thoughts and feelings.

C. Detailed accounts of daily activities.

D. Descriptions of unforgettable events.

67. The author comes to realize that to live a meaningful life is ______.

A. to experience it

B. to live the present in the future

C. to make memories

D. to give accurate representations of it

D

Ever since they were first put on the market in the early 1990s, genetically modified(GM,转基因)foods have been increasingly developed and marketed in many countries in the world, mainly on the basis of their promise to end the worldwide food crisis (危机). But can GM technology solve world hunger problems? Even if it would, is it the best solution?

Despite what it promises, GM technology actually has not increased the production potential

(潜力)of any crop. In fact, studies show that the most widely grown GM crop, GM soybeans, has suffered reduced productivity. For instance, a report that analyzed nearly two decades of research on major GM food crops shows that GM engineering has failed to significantly increase US crop production.

Something else, however, has been on the rise. While GM seeds are expensive, GM companies tell farmers that they will make good profits by saving money on pesticides(杀虫剂). On the contrary, US government data show that GM crops in the US have produced an overall increase in pesticide use compared to traditional crops. “The promise was that you could use less chemicals and boost production. But neither is true,”said Bill Christison, President of the US National Family Farm Coalition.

At the same time, the authors of the book World Hunger: Twelve Myths argue that there actually is more than enough food in the world and that the hunger crisis is not caused by production, but by problems in food distribution and politics. These indeed deserve our efforts and money. Meanwhile, the rise in food prices results from the increased use of crops for fuel rather than food , according to a 2008 World Bank report.

As a matter of fact, scientists see better ways to feed the world. Another World Bank report concluded that GM crops have little to offer to the challenges of worldwide poverty and hunger, because better ways out are available, among which “green” farming is supposed to be the first choice. Ks5u

68. The author develops the second paragraph mainly__________.Ks5u

A. by classification

B. by comparison

C. by example

D. by process

69. What does the underlined word “boost” in the third paragraph probably mean?

A. control

B. evaluate

C. obtain

D. increase

70. GM companies promise farmers that they will benefit from__________.

A. practicing “green” farming

B. use of less chemicals

C. fair distribution of their crops

D. using more crops for fuel

71. Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards GM technology?

A. Optimistic

B. Neutral(中立)

C. Disapproving

D. indifferent(漠不关心)

E

Is Daily Homework Necessary?

Recently our school students have had a discussion about whether it is necessary to have daily homework. Different students have different opinions.

Seventy percent of the students are willing to accept daily homework. They think homework helps them review and practice what has been taught in class. Besides, by doing daily homework, students can better understand their lessons. Furthermore, their skills in managing time can also be improved through homework. Ks5u

However, thirty percent of the students have different opinions. They believe homework reduces their amount of leisure time with their families, not to mention the time for other activities. With a lot of homework to do, students feel tired, and will gradually lose interest in their lessons.

In my opinion, daily homework is necessary, but it must be fit for a student’s ability. What’s more, the amount of homework should be limited, for a student’s all-around development is more important than anything else in his or her life.
