W: Hello, listeners. Welcome to Henton Hospital Radio. Before our music program at four, I’m going to repeat some of our hospital rules. The visiting hours are in the afternoon from 2:30 to 3:30 and in the evening from 7:00 to 8:00.But remember only two people can see you at the same time. Sorry about that, but you can imagine what would happen it we didn’t have these rules.
The other rules are about our hours. We start pretty early— you might not be used to that. We wake you at 6 o’clock, breakfast is at 8 o’clock, and lunch is at noon; there’s tea at 3:30 and supper is at 6 o’clock. You can see the no-smoking sign—we won’t allow smoking in the treating room. However, if you do need to smoke, there are special areas where it’s allowed.
You will find the radio switch on the wall near your bed, with your headphones, if you want to listen. It’s our own hospital radio wishing you a speedy recovery.

完形填空: BCBA C, DCACD, ABBDB, DADBA
36. 这个空位于全文第二句, 第一句提供的信息不足以构成选择答案的依据, 因此要根据后面故事发生的情节进行选择。从后面本段的第三、第四两句中我们得知这个 男孩子因为母亲脸上有疤痕而感到羞愧，觉得母亲去参加家长会令他感到尴尬，因此不希望母亲去开家长会。当他听到母亲说会去参加家长会的时候，就感到很失望。答案应为选项B. disappointment。
37. 前面一句交代了母亲说她会去参加家长会(would go), 英语中是用过去将来时表示的。这一句里母亲将第一次与他的同学和老师见面也是单纯过去将来时, 因此选选项C first“第一次”。
38. 通过其后的"there is a severe scar that covered nearly the entire right side of her face"可以确定选项B. appearance, 意思是“外貌”。
39. that 引出一个定语从句, 先行词为 a severe scar。这块疤痕几乎遮住了男孩母亲的右半边脸。可以确定选项A covered, 意思是"覆盖"。
40. 该文第1段讲的主要是男孩因感到母亲丑陋, 从来都不想和别人谈论这个问题。故选项C. never 最符合文意。
41．这句话的意思是：“在家长会上， 大家对男孩母亲的和蔼可亲、表现出的自然美留下了深刻的印象”。 选项D (be) impressed意思是“对……留下深刻印象”。
42. despite the scar 意思是“尽管有这块疤痕”是个限定条件，说明该题与选项B. honesty, 选项D. bravery 无关。选项C 意思是"自然美"。
43. 该句话的意思是"虽然大家对男孩的母亲印象颇佳，但是男孩仍然感到很尴尬，不愿露面。" 选项A. but最符合文意。
44. 通过其前的"男孩仍然感到很尴尬", 可以确定选项C hid, 意思是“躲避”。需要指出的是hid之前的连词and有交待所连接双方因果关系的功能。
45. 通过其后的"between his mother and his teacher, and heard them speaking" 可以确定选项D conversation, 意思是“谈话”。
46. 通过下一段内容可以确定选项A How。选项B when, 以及选项D where 干扰角度相近,故一并排除。
47. 通过the fire was out of control火势失去控制，得出“大家都非常害怕，不敢进屋（去救人）”, 确定选项B。
48. 选项B As 所引出的内容可以与主句表示的动作同步。
49. 通过"placed myself over him trying to protect him"确定选项D over, 意思是"覆盖"。
50. 选B. [knock + 名词 + 形容词] 意思是"把…打成…状态”。选项A beaten 则含有反复击打, 与客观情形不合, 故不用。
51. 通过"fortunately"可以确定选项D saved。
52. 这句话的意思是 “母亲摸了摸有烫伤的那半边脸”。故确定选项A。
53. This scar will be permanent，but to this day, I have never regretted what I did. 全句的意思是：“这块伤疤是永远不会去掉了，可是直至今日，我从来没有为我所做的后悔过。” 选用regretted 表现出母亲虽因救自己的儿子而失去了自己姣好的容貌， 但是认为这是值得的。
54. 通过"came out, towards her mother", 以及"held her" 可以确定选项B running。
55. " …felt a great sense of sacrifice that his mother made for him."意思是说男孩这时才了解到母亲脸上伤疤的来历，因此强烈地感觉到母亲为他所做的牺牲。选项A. sense 的意思是“有……的意识”最符合题意。


答案与解析
21. 选项D. catch you later 是一会儿再联系你的意思。
22. 选项C rather than 意思是"而不是"; 选项A other than 意思是"除了", 相当于except。
23. 题干中 next month值得注意, 可以否掉选项B。I didn't except that. 意思是过去未曾料到。
24. 选项D known 实为一个省略了who have been 的定语从句。
25. 选项D what为 what引出名词从句的用法。what从句相当于中文的"的"字结构,但它不能作定语。
26. 选项In case 引出状语从句, 意思是"以免"。
27. 题干中的副词otherwise是个关键词, 意思是"不然, 否则", 故用虚拟句与之配合。
28. How come ...? 为一表达法, 用以表示不理解情况是如何发生的场合, 如: If she \ spent five years in Paris, how come her French is so bad?
29. 选项B weighing gains and losses 为一搭配用法, 意思是"衡量得失"。
30. 该题中的定语从句实际上含一个句式, 即prefer A to B。
31. 选项A turn out =prove to be 意思是"证明是"。
32. 不定式的完成时态常用于该动作先于谓语动词发生的场合。
33. earth表示独一无二的地球时, 与定冠词连用; 若被形容词修饰时, 常与不定冠词连用。
34. 选项D does doing his lessons中的does相当于spends much time; 选项C spends 是个及物动词, 因其后面无宾语, 故不用。
35. 选项A I'll get it. 与其前的祈使句"sit still"配合使用。其中暗含一句式, 即:
祈使句 + , and/or =if 条件句。


第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Stepping into a pool of water is common enough, but who could ever imagine stepping into a pool of fish? In February of 1974, Bill Tapp, an Australian farmer, saw a rain of fish that covered his farm. How surprised he must have been when he heard many fish hitting against his roof!
What caused this strange occurrence? This is a question that had long puzzled people who study fish. The answer turned out to be a combination of wind and storm.
When it is spring in the northern part of the world, it is fall in Australia. Throughout the autumn season, terrible storms arise and rains flood the land. The strong winds sweep over Australia like huge vacuum cleaners(吸尘器), collecting seaweed, pieces of wood, and even schools of fish. Strong winds may carry these bits of nature for many miles before dropping them on fields, houses, and astonished people.
Although they seem unusual, fish-falls occur quite frequently in Australia. When Bill Tapp was asked to describe the scene of fish, he remarked, “They look like millions of dead birds falling down.” His statement is not surprising. The wonders of the natural world are as common as rain. Nature, with its infinite wonders, can create waterfalls that flow upward and fish that fall out of the sky.
56. What is this passage about?
A. A sad story.
B. A rain of fish.
C. Australia’s northern part.
D. The damage done by floods.
57. Fish-falls occur in Australia_________ .
A. on large farms
B. only in the winter
C. quite often

A. the seasons in the southern part of the world are different from those in the northern part
B. one should watch where one steps
C. the natural world can never create waterfalls that fall upward
D. Bill Tapp is a scientist
59. The word infinite is closest in meaning to _________ .
A. difficult
B. easy
C. countless
D. dangerous
答案：BCAC
B

Ashley and Chris work in the same department designing postcards. Chris had a college degree in art and deeply felt that the degree of his designs was excellent. His last postcard showed the depth of a desert’s beauty and delights.
“ It’s just a picture of the desert,” Ashley said. “ Not deep at all.”
“ Some people desire seeing beauty,” Chris replied. “Mine delivers that”.
Ashley laughed and said, “ Well, that depends on what you think beauty is.”
Days later, someone delivered a letter to Ashley. The letter said, “ You are worthy of the bad things that will come your way. You will know the taste of defeat, and I will destroy you.”
Ashley suddenly felt very cold. It was as if the room temperature had dropped 30 degrees. “ Who would do such a shocking deed?” she wondered. “I will not let a simple letter defeat me.”
Just then, Chris came into the room and offered Ashley a piece of his sandwich.
“ Try some,” he smiled widely. “ It’s delicious.”
“Are you trying to poison me?” Ashley asked. Chris’s answer was delayed from confusion. “ What’s your problem?” he asked.
The next day, Ashley brought a bat to use to defend herself . When Chris saw her bat, he joked, “Defend and win one for the team.”
Ashley took no notice of him. She spent the whole day reading self-defending books and placed her work on delay. “ You can’t delay your work. Our job demands us to do our work on time,” Chris said. “ We must meet the demands of our job.”
“ You ‘re not the boss,” Ashley replied. “ Don’t make demands of me.”
Because Ashley failed to do her work, she was fired.
Chris glanced at Ashley’s empty desk and smiled.
60. What kind of work did Chris and Ashley do?
A. Drawing. B. Designing.
C. Painting. D. Building.
61. What did Ashley think of the last postcard designed by Chris?
A. Excellent.
B. Too bad.
C. It didn’t show the real beauty of the desert.
D. He expressed himself in an indirect way.
62. Which is the proper order of the events that happened in the story?
a. Ashley got a letter.
b. Chris felt happy in the end.
c. Chris designed a postcard.
d. Ashley showed his dislike for the postcard.
e. Ashley brought a bat to defend herself.
f. Ashley failed to meet the demands of her work.
A. c, d, a, b, e, f B. c, d, a, e, f, b
C. b, e, f, a, d, c D. a, e, b, d, c, f
63. We may infer from this passage that ___________.
A. Chris was not a good designer
B. Chris and Ashley were friendly to each other

D. It may sometimes bring about bad luck to speak out one’s mind
答案：BCBC
C
There are many famous museums throughout the world where people can enjoy art. Washington, D.C. has the National Gallery of Art (美术馆); Paris has the Luvre; London, the British Museum. Florida International University (FIU) in Miami also shows art for people to see. And it does so without a building, or even a wall for its drawings and paintings.
FIU has opened what it says is the first computer art museum in the United States. You don't have to visit the University to see the art. You just need a computer linked to a telephone. You can call the telephone number of a university computer and connect your own computer to it. All of the art is stored in the school computer. It is computer art, produced electronically by artists on their own computers. In only a few minutes, your computer can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings.
Robert Shostak is director of the new computer museum. He says he starts the museum because computer artists had no place to show their works.
A computer artist can only record his pictures electronically and send the records, or floppy discs, to others to see on their computers. He can also put his pictures on paper. But to print good pictures on paper, the computer artist needs an expensive laser printer.
Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computer students at schools and universities. Many of the pictures in the museum are made by students. Mr Shostak said the FIU museum will make computer art more fun for computer artists because more people can see it. He says artists enjoy their work much more if they have
an audience. And the great number of home computers in America could mean a huge audience for the electronic museum.
64. The main purpose of this text is to give information about .
A. museums throughout the world
B. an electronic art museum in Miami, U.S.A.
C. art exhibitions in Florida International University
D. latest development of computer art
65. To see the art in FIU museum, you need .
A. floppy discs B. a computer and a printer
C. pictures and drawings on paper
D. a computer connected to the museum by telephone line
66. The museum was started when .
A. Robert Shostak wanted to do something for computer scientists
B. Robert Shostak wanted to help computer artists
C. art students needed a place to show their works
D. computer scientists wanted to do something about art
67. The words“an audience”in the last paragraph refer to .
A. art students B. computer owners?
C. exhibits in the museum D. those who will enjoy art
D
One would have to be a fool to overlook the importance of using positive thinking for you rather than allowing negative thinking to work against you. In recent years, research in psychopharmacology (精神药理学) has proved what many people have known over the centuries: a positive attitude is good for you, good for your health, good for your wealth, good for everything. Researchers found that a positive attitude produces a specific chemical reaction which makes people feel better, while negative thinking results in a decline of hormone (荷尔蒙) and shuts down the immune (免疫的) system. This leads to illness and depression. Positive thoughts will make you feel better. Even if you must begin by literally forcing yourself to be positive (faking it, so to speak), it will become contagious (会传播的) and the positive thoughts will generate nice little chemicals and good feelings which will reinforce the positive thoughts.
For example, if you force yourself to smile or laugh, even when you don't feel like smiling or laughing, if you keep at it for a few minutes, you will soon feel like it. Feelings can generate thoughts, but thoughts can also generate feelings. Control your thoughts and you can control your feelings. Positive thinking is important in all aspects of our lives. There is probably no single factor more important in determining your success in achieving your career objectives than your own attitude.
It's often been said that in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. And in the office of militant (好战) negativism, the positive workers shine like gold. You cannot control external events, but you can learn to control your reaction to those events and thereby have a positive attitude and be happy. This vital key to success is totally within your control. Use it.

SOUTHPORT, ENGLAND—A British teaching union famous for strange ideas has supported proposal to employ dogs as classroom assistants.
At the annual conference of the Professional Association of teachers in Southport, northwest of England, one person suggested properly trained dogs be able to keep order in primary schools. They can round up lost children and protect those who experience unfortunate “accidents”. Wendy Dyble, a Sheetland Islands woman who teaches children up to age seven, made it clear to her fellow friends that she was not “barking mad”. They obviously believed her, supporting her idea by 16 votes to 13, with a total of 63 abstentions.
he said big dogs could help round up children, keep them in line, lick up the milk they spill on the floor and provide the extra eyes that a teacher needs to keep order. “A big dog would also be helpful for breaking up fights and look for lost property, like gym shoes or dolls, ” Dyble said at the conference. “The dog will also be useful in sniffing out smells that children do not own up to,” she added. “It would be nice for the teacher not to have to go round sniffing each child to find the culprit.”
The idea was greeted by the Dog Defense League but less so by bigger teaching unions. A spokesman for Education Secretary David Blunkett, who is blind, said his guide
dog was always popular with pupils when he visited schools. The Professional Association of Teachers, with around 35,000 members, is the smallest teaching union in Britain. It has an honour for occasional strange ideas.
Earlier this week, its annual conference here suggested stopping exams because they lead to stress and introducing selection at the age of 12 based on physical coordination and manual skill in the use of hand.
72. According to the writer's opinion, to employ dogs as classroom assistants .
A. is a wonderful idea
B. can improve the relation between children and animals
C. is beyond ordinary people's minds D. can make some teachers lose jobs
73. What Dyble said at the conference .
A. gained some support from the members B. frightened everyone at the conference
C. interested everyone at the conference D. caused some trouble to trained dogs
74. A spokesman for Education Secretary .
A. once used a dog as classroom assistant B. sang high praise for Dyble's idea
C. would employ dogs as teachers D. benefited from dogs more than others
75. The last paragraph of this passage .
A. has nothing to do with the topic of this passage
B. shows there are too many exams in British school
C. provides further facts about the teaching union
D. shows the writer's anger to the union

There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.
People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things. The pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine, the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.
Though in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrong doings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.

第二节 写作（满分25分）
近年来，一些西方节日在中国越来越流行。这种现象在网上引起热议。请根据下图描述中国人过洋节的情况，谈谈你对这种社会现象的看法，并将你写的东西在该英语论坛上发表。

要求：1. 表达连贯，逻辑正确。2. 字数100-120 参考词汇：情人节：Valentine’s Day
Western holidays such as Christmas, Valentine’s Day and ect. are getting more and more popular in China. Some Chinese people even get crazy on them. But at the same time, people seem to have less enthusiasm for our traditional festivals such as the Spring Festival and the Mooncake Festival. However, most people celebrate western holidays without knowing the meaning behind them. They just go shopping, hold parties and have fun.
In my opinion, the celebration of western holiday is a good way of learning the western cultures, which helps to promote understanding and communication between Chinese cultures
and other cultures. Besides, the celebration can also make our life more interesting. However,
we should make great efforts to preserve and enrich our own traditional culture.
