    When Han Duan started her professional career at 16, China’s national women’s football team was defeated in the final of the World Cup by the US. While she was asked to play in her first World Cup in 2003, she largely remained on the bench after the first match.
    But things have changed. Now, Han is one of the most important players in China’s team. “I can’t wait to play. Life is short. You must make the most out of it,” Han always says like that. 
    Han wants every possible honor that a football player can get — an Asian Cup, a World Cup and an Olympic medal. She has always been good at sports, especially swimming and horizontal bars. At school, she was the fastest in the 60m and 100m.
    But the reason she picked football was that she wanted to get more compliments (称赞). “Football is for boys. But I feel more fulfilled when I can do better than them and win more compliments,” she said. Later, when she entered a football school, the coach always asked Han to show others what to do.
    However, nobody can be good at everything. Han described her singing as “howling” and the only school subject she was good at was Chinese. “I was very happy every time my essay was posted on the wall for my schoolmates to read.” But Han still has some regrets about her school years. Her handwriting was terrible at school. She ever wanted to improve her handwriting but didn’t achieve much.
    “My fans ask for my signature (签名), so I’d better practice and practice. It’s not too late,” she says.
    56. In the World Cup in 2003, Han Duan was a(n) ______.
    A. member of the audience     
    B. unimportant player
    C. team captain          
    D. fan of a sports star
    57. What does the underlined part in the second paragraph imply?
    A. Han Duan siezes every chance to learn more to fulfill herself.
    B. Han Duan never wastes any of her practicing time.
    C. Han Duan seizes every chance to take part in matches.
    D. Han Duan has become ill and she will die quite soon.
    58. According to the passage, we know that Han Duan ________.
    A. has won an Asian Cup, a World Cup and an Olympic medal
    B. was good at sports when she was at school
    C. did very well in singing and Chinese when she was at school
    D. often gets compliments because of her beautiful handwriting
    59. From the fourth paragraph, it can be inferred that Han Duan most probably ________.
    A. felt sad as the boys laughed at her
    B. felt proud as she got compliments from others
    C. felt sad as she was too strong as a girl
    D. hated herself as she couldn’t do anything else well
    60. What’s the best title of this passage?
    A. Growth of a sports star.           B. The World Cup.
    C. Honor of a football player.        D. Star of tomorrow.

    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，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    A lot of us lose life's tough battles by starting a frontal attack--when a touch of humor might well enable us to win. Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who was on his trapped way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum(最后通牒) about the job. Although there was a good reason for Sam's being late--serious illness at home--he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn't work any longer. His supervisor was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal speech.
    Yes, the boss was, Sam entered the office at 9:35. The place was as quiet as a locker room; everyone was hard at work. Sam's supervisor came up to him. Suddenly, Sam forced a grin and stretched out his hand. "How do you do!" he said. "I'm Sam Maynard. I'm applying for a job, which, I understand, became available just 35 minutes ago. Does the early bird get the worm?"
    The room exploded in laughter, except that the supervisor had to clamp off a smile and walked back to his office. Sam Maynard had saved his job--with the only tool that could win, a laugh.
    Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected, means of handling the difficult situations in our lives. It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying "no", criticizing, getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face. For some jobs, it's the only tool that can succeed. It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialog may start a quarrel. For example, many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance than people in any other forum.
    51. Why was Sam late for his job?
    A. Because he was seriously ill at home.           B. Because he received an ultimatum.
    C. Because he was busy applying for a new job.  D. Because he was caught in a traffic jam.
    52. What is the main idea of this passage?
    A. Sam Maynard saved his job with humor     B. Humor is important in our lives
    C. Early bird can get the worm               D. Humor can solve racial discriminations
    53. The phrase "clamp off" in Paragraph 3 means       .
    A. try to hold back    B. pretend to set      C. send off         D. give out
    54. Which of the following statements can we infer from the passage?
    A. Many lose life's battles for they are always late.
    B. Sam was supposed to come to his office at 8:30.
    C. It wasn't the first time that Sam came late for his work.
    D. Humor is the most effective way of solving problems.

    Perhaps you do not know your school principal (校长) well. But you might be wise to take him or her seriously. Beijing University will enroll (招收) students recommended by high school principals this year. If the students recommended pass a round of interviews by Peking University, they will have an extra 30 extra points added to their national college entrance exam scores if they apply to the university.
    Beijing University said the reason behind the move was a desire to give students with comprehensive (综合的) or special abilities a chance to stand out.
    However, a survey, showed 10,046 out of 14,227 people are against the measure. Some experts agree with the criticism. Liu Daoyu, former president of Wuhan University is one strong opponent(反对者). “There are so many high schools across the country. But only 39 schools are qualified to recommend students. Is it fair to the rest of the schools? Besides, most of the 39 schools are located in big cities, which is unfair to other regions,”
    The reform is also unfair to other students, some say. According to Liu, in the competitive exam, one extra point can put a student ahead of a large numbers of others – never mind 30.
    “Principals do not know students well. How can they guarantee the recommendation will be fair?” asked Wang Xuming, former spokesman of the Ministry of Education.
    The Ministry of Education said the move is a good experiment in college admission reforms and the public should support it even if it is not yet mature (成熟的). It said Beijing University promised a series of supervision (监督) measures to avoid cheating. For example, the information of schools and principals that recommend students, and the recommended students will be put online for a week for public supervision.
    小题1:The best title of the passage could be         .
    A．Beijing University Will Enroll More Students
    B．Beijing University’s Reform Causes a Debate
    C．People Are Against Beijing University’s Reform
    D．The Government Supports Peking University’s Reform
    小题2:The following are the reasons why Liu Daoyu is against Beijing University’s reform except that          .
    A．there will be a lot of cheating
    B．it is unfair to the other regions
    C．it is unfair to other schools
    D．30 points cause a huge gap among students
    小题3:We can learn from the passage that          .
    A．the Ministry of Education supports the reform
    B．the reform has started to work in college admissions
    C．all the recommended students will be accepted
    D．no more than 70% of the people are against the reform
    小题4:If a student passes the interview by Beijing University, he or she         .
    A．can also apply to other universities
    B．will be admitted into Beijing University
    C．will have comprehensive and special abilities
    D．needn’t accept the public supervision

    The other day at a supermarket, I saw a naughty boy of about six crying loudly, falling to the floor and refusing to move. All the while the troubled mother was trying to persuade him to behave well but failed．A little smack on his bottom would have done the job，I thought．
    Teenagers also cause discipline(纪律)problems．As a teacher, I had a 16-year-old student who had fallen in love with a waiter at a fast-food restaurant．In fact，she had left home to stay with him．So we decided to put her in the school hostel．She refused．When she heard her mother begging her to stay in the hostel she turned round and said：“Why don't you stay in the hostel if you like it so much?”
    My palms were itching to slap her for being so rude but the poor mother continued to cajole her，hoping that gentle persuasion would work wonders．It did not．The last I heard，she had run away from home again．
    The list goes on and on．Could it be that today's parents are softer and believe that they must not rod(棍棒惩罚)their children for fear of the bad result? Or do they actually believe that the children will get rid of the bad habits and behave well naturally as they grow older? I beg to disagree．I believe it is the parents' duty to discipline the children even at a young age．
    My children who are now adults will prove the fact that I used the rod when I thought it necessary．Later when they went abroad，they related to their British university friends on how they were disciplined．Their friends abroad were filled with horror and told my daughter that I could be charged with child abuse(虐待)．However，my daughter showed great respect for me when she told them that she would not be where she was today if not for my strict discipline．
    小题1:The underlined word“cajole”probably means       ．
    A．persuadeB．scoldC．forgiveD．punish
    小题2:The author would probably          .
    A．beat the children every dayB．treat the children in a softer way
    C．leave the children as they areD．punish the children when necessary
    小题3:We can learn from the passage that        .
    A．the naughty boy’s mother hit him
    B．the teacher’s daughter is living with the teacher
    C．the author’s daughter was thankful for the author’s strict discipline
    D．the author was charged with child abuse by her daughter’s friends abroad
    小题4:Which of the following could be the best title for this passage?
    A．Spoil KidsB．Value DisciplineC．Respect ParentD．Protect Kids

    The beat generation mainly referred to the youth who were born and brought up around the Second World War. They showed their ignorance of almost everything traditional, such as government authority ,respect for parents, one’s duty, moral standards, and traditional customs. They developed a kind of absolute individualism and liberty. They preferred long hair, mini dresses or close fitting clothes to show off the figure. They advocated （倡导）freedom of sex and cohabitation (同居).Their influence could be seen from the fact that about one third of the American couples living together were not married by law. And the divorce rate was very high. The endless U.S wars abroad and sharp class struggle at home caused many American youths to develop a kind of cynicism. They doubted the existing social system, possibility of harmonious human relations, and the long honored standard for correct behavior. They felt society overlooked their needs. Therefore, they refused to do any duty that was required of them by society. They declared “Don’t believe anyone over thirty.” All this came from the sick society. It’s wrong to imagine they all fought against capitalism in support of revolutionary things. Some of their ideas were even more decadent (颓废的)and impractical. It was an abnormal phenomenon in an abnormal society.?
    72.Based on the passage, how many of one hundred and twenty American couples of the beat
    generation practiced cohabitation?       
    A. about 20 couples.             B. about 30 couples.

    C. The beat generation believes no one except that he is over thirty.?
    D. The beat generation’s ideas were not impractical.?
    74.“Cynicism” in this passage most probably means____.?
    A. a state of mind against realism
    B. a state of mind doubting everything in existence?
    C. a theory advocating mutual help
    D. a theory advocating individualism?
    75..This passage is mainly about ____.?

    A peer is a person who is about the same age as you. Peers affect your life, whether you know it or not, just by spending time with you. 
    Peers can have a good effect on one another. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book and now everyone’s reading it. 
    However, sometimes peers affect one another in another way. For example, one kid in school might try to get another to cut class with him, your soccer friend might try to persuade you to be mean to another player and never pass her the ball, or a kid in the neighborhood might want you to shoplift with him. Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked, to fit in, or because they worry that other kids may make fun of them if they don’t go along with the group. Others may go along because they are curious to try something new that others are doing. The idea that “everyone’s doing it” may influence some kids to leave their better judgments or their common senses behind. 
    Peer pressure can be extremely strong and hard to get rid of. Experiments have shown how peer pressure can influence someone to change her/ his mind from what she/ he knows for sure is a correct answer to the incorrect answer－just because everyone else gives the incorrect answer! That holds true for people of any age in peer pressure situations. 
    It can be hard to walk away from peer pressure, but it can be done. Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do. Inner strength and self-confidence can help you stand firm, walk away and resist doing something when you know better.
    68. What is the best title for this passage? 
    A. Peers have a good effect   B. Children give in to peer pressure
    C. Peer pressure is hard to resist    D. Peer pressure
    69. The underlined word “shoplift” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.
    A. do some shopping     B. carry goods for shops 
    C. steal in shops            D. take the lift upstairs in shops
    70. The writer will NOT agree that ________.
    A. only children change their correct answers to incorrect ones because of peer pressure
    B. peers have an effect on one another
    C. peer pressure can be got rid of
    D. peers will believe in themselves if there are other peers who agree with them
    71. By writing the passage the writer intends to ________.
    A. tell people to follow other’s opinions
    B. warn people to stay away from their peers
    C. tell it is hard to walk away from pressure
    D. persuade people to do the right thing regardless of peer pressure

    When I was young，I wished for a good car and a big house. That was my idea of success. I took all the advanced classes and tried to do well in the exams with my mind set on going to a key school. I just knew that I would somehow become famous and be able to afford the car and the dream house. All the way through junior years，my mind was planning this beautiful future.
    Then in the eleventh grade, many losses changed my mind. First, one of my friends died at 16. Soon after， my great-grandmother passed away followed by my beloved fourth-grade teacher. These events left me not knowing what to do or where to go. Death had never touched me so closely.
    After a long period of emptiness, it finally struck me: Life is not promised and neither is future success. Though I was attempting to achieve material success， I was not enjoying my daily life. I realized that finding inner peace， purpose and happiness will stick with me forever and that is real success.
    Enjoying life's precious quirks (偶发事件) makes an ordinary person more successful than a wealthy person who isn't content and takes everything for granted. The summer before senior years, my attitude changed greatly. Instead of memorizing facts, I began learning skills. Instead of focusing on the future， I focused on today and the many blessings and successes that came with it.
    I still get excellent grades， but now I devote weeks to studying instead of struggling for exams, and I think about the future with a deeper sense of meaning. For me, being successful means truly living life each day.
    68.The reason why the author changed his idea of success is ____.
    A.that he can't afford his house
    B.that his beloved teacher was dead
    C.that he didn't know what to do or where to go
    D.that he lost a few beloved persons in a short time
    69.What does the author want to tell the readers?
    A.The true meaning of the life.
    B.The true meaning of studying
    C.How to achieve success.
    D.His opinion about success.
    70. According to the passage which of the following is TRUE?
    A.The writer thinks the success is not promised.
    B.His teacher died before the death of his grandpa.
    C.The writer didn’t do well in all the exams.
    D.He didn’t want to take all the exams.

    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，并在机读卡上将该项涂黑。
    The part of the earth’s history known as the coal age began more than 250 million years ago and lasted millions of years. During that time, in the area that is now the United States, coal beds formed from Texas to the north Atlantic coast.
    At that time thick forests swamps（沼泽） covered much of the earth’s surface. Great trees died and fell into the swamps. Then they rotted （腐烂）and new trees and plants grew on top of them. The process repeated itself for thousands of years. The rotted plants turned into a substance called peat（泥炭）, which is still forming today in many swamps.
    Meanwhile the land surface was changing. Movement in the earth’s crust (地壳) pushed up hills in some places, while elsewhere land sank. Swift rivers ran from the hills; heavy rains fell and the rivers overflowed, leaving muddy sand in the sunken wooded places and swamps. Oceans, too, poured in over the low-lying land, carrying sand that covered the peaty areas.
    The pressure of water and sand pressed the oxygen and hydrogen out of the peat, leaving carbon. Under constant pressure, the rotted material, containing a high percentage of carbon, formed gradually into coal.
    56. This main idea of the passage is about the ______.
    A. coal beds in the U.S.   B. earth’s history   C. formation of coal   D. swamp age
    57. When plants died, they _____.
    A. grew up again       B. fell into the water and rotted
    C. fell into coal beds    D. turned immediately to coal
    58. Hills were formed as a result of _____.
    A. movements of the earth’s crust       B. the remaining from swamps
    C. the remaining from swift rivers       D. ocean currents
    59. What is implied but not stated in the passage?
    A. Peat is still forming today.
    B. The formation of coal requires high pressure.
    C. The land surface changed during the coal age.
    D. The formation of coal was very rapid.
