    Opened  on  October, 27,  1907 and completed in 1908, Union Station (联盟火车站) is considered to be one of the finest examples of the Beaux-Arts (古典装饰的)  style of architecture.  Architect Daniel Buraham designed the building.
    At the time it was built, Union Station covered more ground than any other buildings in the United States and was the largest train station in the world.  In many ways, Union Station was a city within a city. At various times it employed a staff of over 5,000 people and provided hotel, ice house, first-class restaurant and police station.
    As train travel was the means of transportation for even US Presidents in the early 1900s, a Presidential Suite (总统套间)  was added to Union Station. In 1909, President Taft was the first President to use the room and over the years many famous people were officially welcomed there. The last President to use the Presidential Suite was President Eisenhower.
    For half a century and through two world wars, Union Station served Washington and the US as a major center of transportation and the place for many historic events.  On April 14, 1945,  a train backed into Union Station carrying the casket (棺材) of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
    However, the air travel led to a decline in railroad passengers, and Union Station began to fall into disuse. In 1968, the decision was made to change it into the "National Visitor Center". The project opened in July 4, 1976 but failed to draw enough crowds to sustain（="keep" up） its operation, and was closed in 1978.
    While Congress debated the future of Union Station, rain damage caused parts of the roof to fall down. Following three years of repair at a cost of $160 million, Union Station reopened on September 29, 1988.
    Today, Union Station continues to make history as the most visited place with over 29 million visitors a year. World-class exhibitions and international cultural events are hosted there for the public to enjoy. Private special events are celebrated in the grand halls. Even today, US Presidents still visit Union Station.
    68. What is the passage mainly about?
    A. Introduction to Union Station.    B. Architecture in the US.
    C. Train stations in the US.       D. Transportation in the US.
    69. Place the following events in the correct order.
    a. Union Station reopened.
    b. President Taft used the Presidential Suite.
    c. The decision was made to change Union Station into the "National Visitor Center".
    d. The construction of Union Station was completed.
    A. cdba       B. dacb       C. dbca       D. acbd
    70. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 implies that _______.
    A. Union Station was a symbol of the US
    B. Union Station was of no use
    C. the government was unwilling to waste money on Union Station
    D. Union Station was not rebuilt immediately
    71. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
    A. Union Station is still the largest train station in the world.
    B. Union Station made great contributions to the United States.
    C. The repair work of Union Station lasted several years.
    D. Union Station is popular in the US nowadays.

    第Ⅱ卷（共45分）
    第四部分: 写作（共两节，满分35分）
    第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）
    阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容回答下列小题。
    When an NBA player is young he thinks he can win the championship by himself. It is only later when he has aged and been through many battles that he learns an important lesson; there is no "I" in "team".
    There is no better example of the value of teamwork than the Boston Celtics. Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin. Garnett were all superstars on three different teams. Yet, none of them had any titles to show for it. Then, last season, they decided to sacrifice money and individual statistics to play together. Garnett and Allen joined Pierce on the Celtics and changed the NBA in the process.
    It started in simple ways. Garnett and Allen are two of the most intense athletes in the world. They treat every second of every practice like it is the NBA championship. If you want to play alongside them then you will have to do the same. So, the young guys on the Celtics started giving their full effort too.
    Pierce had been the star of the Celtics for many years. He used to shoot the ball many times a game. But with the addition of Allen and Garnett he shot less and focused on defense. His selflessness showed the young players that doing what made the team better was the only thing that mattered.
    When the Celtics were winning and the game was almost over, Garnett, Pierce and Allen would come out of the game. But they wouldn't just sit on the bench. Instead, they stood and cheered and screamed for their teammates. They wanted to support their friends and teammates.
    Now, the guys who don't play know they can still affect the game by cheering so they scream and cheer when Garnett, Allen and Pierce are playing. The Celtics have developed a strong relationship. They are more than just teammates, but they are brothers.
    The result: the Boston Celtics won the 2008 NBA championship and are considered the favorites to win the Eastern Conference championship again this year.
    There is a saying that goes, "A successful team beats with one heart. " If ______, the Celtics may have the biggest heart in the NBA.

    第II卷（两部分共35分）
    第四部分任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)
    请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。
    注意：每空只填1个单词,请将答案写在答题纸上。
    In addition to self-awareness, imagination, and conscience, it is the fourth quality — independent will — that really makes effective self-management possible. It is the ability to make decisions and choices and to act in agreement with them. It is the ability to act rather than to be acted upon, to actively carry out the program we have developed through the other three qualities.
    The human will is an amazing thing. Time after time, it has overcome unbelievable difficulties. The Helen Kellers of this world give dramatic(给人深刻印象的) evidence to the value, the power of the independent will.
    But as we examine this quality in the context of effective self-management, we realize it’s usually not the dramatic, the visible, the once-in-a-lifetime, up-by-the-bootstraps(自立自强的) effort that brings lasting success. This special ability comes from learning how to use this great quality in the decisions we make every day.
    The degree to which we have developed our independent will in our everyday lives is measured by our personal honesty. Honesty is, fundamentally, the value we place on ourselves. It’s our ability to make and keep promises to ourselves, to “walk our talk.”
    Effective management is putting first things first. While leadership decides what “first things” are, it is management that puts them first, day-by-day, moment-by-moment. Management is discipline (training to be self-controlled), carrying it out.
    Discipline obtains from belief—belief in a set of values, belief in an overriding(最主要的) purpose, to a long-term or short term goal that must be carried out.
    In other words, if you are an effective manager of yourself, your discipline comes from within; it is a function of your independent will. You are a follower of your own deep values and their source. And you have the will, the quality to control your feelings and moods rather than depend on others or have your work half done.
    Title
    		The power of independent will
    Theme
    		Independent will makes self-management (71)       .

    Star Wars Millennium Falcon
    This is a gift that, if we’re being honest, many dads wants to own for themselves. This huge ship is the greatest Star Wars toy. It lights up and makes some noises. Every boy from 3 to 53 will absolutely like it, if they can find room for it. I dare say even a few grandfathers might go for it.
    Biscuit----the Loving Pup
    You may clearly know that a pet can be a great thing to a child’s development but you probably don’t think that you can take care of a dog properly. The robot dog Biscuit is less likely to exacerbate the disorder of your house and except for a few dead batteries, won’t leave any surprises on the floor. It will be a good playmate for your kids.
    JVC KD—10 Headphones
    It’s increasing common for kids to enjoy themselves on long journeys with a potable(便携式) DVD player or an iPod MPs, but the headphones that come with expensive electronics are seldom suitable for young ears. Kids should use JVC headphones that have a sound limiter that can be set by the concerned parent.
    Sparrow-kids Routemaster Kit
    Sparrow-kids Kit makes a huge range of craft(工艺) tools. There are lots of pretty but achievable projects for young girls to take up their (safe plastic) needles and sew.
    Holz Wooden Airport
    It might be said that Britain doesn’t need another airport but when it’s a traditional wooden toy like this all of you would agree that it’s a good thing. Treated with a little care, this play-set could easily entertain your young air traffic controllers.
    68. The underlined word “ exacerbate” in the second paragraph can be replaced by _____.
    A. worsen       B. improve      C. protect      D. cure

    I don’t like getting up too early unless I have to. When you’re filming, you’ve got make-up on, which doesn’t happen often. As I’m not filming at present I’ll get up at 8.30.
    Work normally means Matt coming over to my house about 10 am. We’re writing at the moment. We’ll chat for a bit before going to my study. One of us will have an idea for a sketch (梗概), we’ll talk about the characters and when we feel we have enough we’ll start writing.
    Matt and I met at the National Youth Theatre in 1990 and started doing shows together in ’95, at the Edinburgh Fringe festival. We know we’re onto something if we’ve made each other laugh, and that’s a really special moment. It’s not always like that, but we’re comfortable enough with each other that we can be honest and go. Some days you’re not in the mood to be funny—like writing when my dad was dying of cancer, or when Matt was separating from his partner.
    We stop for lunch and sometimes go to Wagamama in Camden, but the last time we were followed by paparazzi (狗仔队), which gets you down—who wants to be pictured eating noodles?
    When I’m not writing with Matt I work on other projects. My second children’s book comes out later in the year. It’s called Mr. Stink. The first one I dedicated to my three-year-old nephew, Eddie. Both books have been illustrated by Quentin Blake; it’s been a thrill to work with him—like 20 years ago reading a Roald Dahl book and looking at those drawings, then one day that person illustrates your work… magical.
    At 5 I go swimming in Soho. My trainer makes me do horrible exercises, but I always feel better after.
    Being in all day, I like to go out in the evening and look smart, but not like I’ve come out of the City. I’m a tall, broad guy and well-dressed.
    For dinner I’ll meet friends. When you’re a single guy it’s great to have some good female friends. Or I might take my mum to the theatre, as I know she really appreciates it. I like watching TV comedy shows to see what everyone’s doing. When you see something impressive it makes you work harder. I also love Larkin’s poems: they don’t try to transcend (超越) the commonplace; they’re much more straightforward.
    Poetry is great to dip into before going to bed, rather than falling asleep reading a novel and being confused over what you’ve read or not. I haven’t had a good night’s sleep in seven years; unfortunately, I rely on pills. I’ve tried everything. If I could wish anything for myself, I’d wish I could sleep better.
    67. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
    A. the author spends much time with his friends
    B. the author and Matt are both famous in the district
    C. the author doesn’t care much about what to wear
    D. the author works at home and seldom goes out every day
    68. Where does the passage most likely appear?
    A. In a travel diary.                         B. In a news column.
    C. In an online diary.                    D. In a research paper.
    69. Why does the author read some poetry before going to bed?
    A. Because poetry can often bring him some funny ideas.
    B. Because poetry is much easier to understand than novels.
    C. Because poetry is very abstract and reflects unusual things.
    D. Because poetry can be of some help for him to kill time.
    70. What might be the best title for the passage?
    A. A day’s work with Matt                 B. A new life-style 
    C. A life in the day                       D. A good way to write

    I grew depressed (沮丧的), even as my husband Charlie’s career skyrocketed. He was a NASA astronaut. I was excited for him when he began training to go to the moon, and I involved (潜心于) myself with the flight as much as possible, but I was really looking forward to it being over. Inside I was hoping that once he got this goal behind him, he would put me first.
    But he didn’t. He still had that workaholic(工作狂) drive. He was still following a list of goals which I was still down near the bottom of. I considered breaking up but I wondered if any man could love me the way I wanted to be loved. Was there even such a thing as the perfect marriage? I didn’t wish it anymore. However, in his eyes, our marriage certainly hadn’t delivered any satisfaction, so within several years we were heading full-speed toward breaking up.
    I began to look for other things to satisfy me. I tried a career. I tried church work. I helped the needy. Nothing worked. I even tried drugs, but they didn’t work either. I thought, maybe there was no purpose in life. Didn’t that seem strange? I was married to a famous man, had a nice home and healthy children, plenty of money, yet I had no hope.
    I also discovered God, and I believed He wanted to change me. I found He wanted me to forgive Charlie, so I tried that, although I felt it was impossible. But over a two-month period, God freed me of my anger and helped me love Charlie unconditionally.
    58. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 means ______.
    A. Charlie’s goals were different from mine
    B. Charlie was after many goals in his life, but I was still the last one in his heart
    C. Charlie was always very busy with his work and paid no attention to me
    D. Charlie achieved many goals with my help
    59. According to the passage, what can we infer from the marriage between Charlie and his wife?
    A. It was a mistake to marry Charlie.
    B. There is no such a thing as a perfect marriage.
    C. It was God that helped them love each other again.
    D. Their marriage was saved because of the wife’s forgiveness.
    60. What’s the author’s attitude towards her marriage in the end?
    A. Positive.    B. Puzzling.    C. Negative.    D. Indifferent.

    I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as Mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.
    Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk”, he said, “is for Elizabeth” 。
    I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me, she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.
    They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional”. But she lived “on the surface”.
    As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.
    I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.
    My hope turned to disappointment, the little interest, finally, peace — it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
    Now the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work, I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside — a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times.
    Give me an answer, my desk, in any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
    31. The writer began to love her mother’s desk _______.
    A. after Mother died             B. before she became a writer
    C. when she was a child          D. when Mother gave it to her
    32. The passage shows about _______.
    A. Mother wrote her daughter in careful words
    B. Mother cared much about her daughter in words
    C. Mother was too serious about everything her daughter had done
    D. Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter
    33. The word “gulf” in the 4th paragraph means _______.
    A. part of the sea going far in land
    B. free talks between mother and daughter
    C. different ideas between the mother and daughter
    D. deep understanding between the old and the young
    34. What did Mother do with her daughter’s letter asking for forgiveness?
    A. She had never received the letter.
    B. She read the letter again and again till she died.
    C. For years, she often talked about the letter.
    D. She didn’t forgive her daughter at all in her life.
    35. What’s the best title of the passage?
    A. My letter to Mother                 B. Mother and children
