I was sleeping for over a week after a traffic accident. The only sounds that could be heard were coming from the machines that were  36   me alive.
All my family members were   37   ways to wake me up from my silence.
Greg, my brother – in – law,  38   to take some of my songs I had recently recorded to a local radio station,   39   he explained about my illness. He told them he was  40 I could hear what was going on around me and that he knew having my own songs   41   on the radio had been a huge dream of mine. This would definitely  42   me and do more than any medicine or machine could.
The radio station agreed to help and gave him a specific date and time   43  he could have a radio “  44  ” at my hospital bed. Greg’s decision had filled everyone with 45   and now the moment arrived. Nervous from expectation, all my family members  46   hands and watched over me hoping for a   47  .
The DJ made a pre – song announcement about my   48   to the general audience, and then spoke directly to me.
“Shelly, this is for you. I want you to really listen now. This is not just   49   song we’re playing, but your family’s song of hope. All of us at KKDJ wish you a speedy   50  .”

Everyone in the room held their breath and watched  51   as the music began. Later they all witnessed the tears  52   down my pale cheeks. Though still not awake, it was obvious I heard my song.

Just a few days later, hope turned into   53  . I did in fact awake. Though not   54   unscathed (未受伤的), I did not suffer from the disabilities that had been predicted.
Hope is the part of us that makes us pick up the pieces and try again.   55   hope where would we be?

In the office of the German Chancellor Angela Merkel, there is a picture of Catherine the Great, the legendary Russian Empress. When asked why she has the picture, Merkel says, “She was a strong woman”. Many say the same of Merkel.
The most powerful woman in the world, according to US Forbes magazine, was in China last week. She came to discuss trade and environmental issues with China’s top leaders. Germany’s first woman leader is known as a brave and practical statesman(政治家). Even since her time at school, she had the habit of getting everything in order. Every day before doing her homework she would clean the desk and think about what to do next. “I prefer a long time for full preparations to make my decision. But once I decide, I will stand up for what I believe,” Merkel said.
Perhaps it was good habits that helped her do well in her studies. At 32, she got a doctorate (博士学位) in physics and then she worked as a researcher.
However, the life of a scholar couldn’t put off her love of politics. While working in labs, Merkel took time off to read political books and at last joined a political party. “Her calmness helped her stand out in the party. She could always find a way out while others felt hopeless,” said one of her old friends.
In her first big political job as Minister for the Environment in 1994, her scientific background proved very useful. In 2005 she became Germany’s youngest chancellor since the second World War.
Now half way through her four-year term, the 53-year-old woman has made a name for herself both in Germany and abroad. At the EU summit in 2005 when France quarreled with Britain over the EU budget(预算), some people believed the EU was close to breaking down. But Merkel didn’t give up. She shuttled(穿梭) between the heads of the two powers and had them reached an agreement.
“Strength comes from composure(镇定) and courage. Many people say I am a strong woman. But I would rather say I have perseverance,” said Merkel.
小题1: Why does Merkel put a picture of Catherine the Great on the wall of her office?
A.Because Catherine the Great is beautiful.
B.Because Merkel wants to be a strong woman too.
C.Because Merkel likes the drawing skill of it.
D.Because it is very expensive.
小题2:What is the correct order of the following events?
a. became the German Chancellor
b. got a doctorate in physics and then she worked as a researcher
c. join a political party
d. visit China
e. take part in the EU summit
f. as Minister for the Environment
A.bcafdeB.cbfdaeC.bcfaedD.cbfaed
小题3:Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Merkel usually is hurry to make a decision when facing difficulties.
B.At the EU summit in 2005, the relationship between French and Britain was in tension.
C.Merkel is a well-known leader all over the world.
D.She is outstanding because of her calmness.
小题4: What is the best title for the passage?
A.An excellent lecturerB.Germany’s iron lady
C.The change of a scholarD.The youngest chancellor

       How do you get a man to do his share of the housework? If you are like most women, you’ve faced this question the hard way.
A man will enjoy a clean, orderly house, but he usually won’t make the effort to clean or organise it. This doesn't mean that a woman has to do all the housework:; she may have to manage many of the household duties, and request her partner’s participation(参与). A woman can often say that men and women should take equal responsibility(责任) for housework.
Very few men are raised to be fully responsible for housework, and many men look on housework as women’s work. On the other hand, most men will readily work around the yard, make repairs and complete projects on weekends or evenings, and it’s important that you give your man appreciation for those things, too. Most men will take on a little additional housework around the house if asked politely. They are even more likely to do housework if they can choose what they want to do, and do it without being monitored.
Here’s the key: men want to feel that they are doing housework either because they want to do a task, or because they simply want to please their women. Men are much less likely to take on household tasks they consider uninteresting and unimportant. In other words, men are likely to do a household task just for the good of the house.
小题1: The passage is mainly about how to _____.
A.get men to take on some housework
B.get men to serve their families
C.praise men’ housework
D.make men do all the housework
小题2:According to the passage, a man_____.
A.is willing to do housework
B.likes to be told to do housework
C.is taught to be responsible for housework from childhood
D.likes a clean house but doesn’t make efforts to clean it
小题3:In order to get men to do some housework, women should often_____.
A.order them to do their share
B.ask them to do some housework politely
C.blame men’s laziness
D.monitor men’s work
小题4:According to the passage, the underlined sentence in the last paragraph means that men won’t _____.
A.work without any payment
B.do unimportant household tasks
C.do housework without women’s praise
D.please their wives
小题5: According to the passage, which of the following would a husband most probably like to do?
A.Cleaning the table.B.Doing some sewing.
C.Painting the fence.D.Asking his wife to work on the yard.

Adults(成年人)usually do not remember most of the things that are taught by their teachers at school. But this story is one such lesson that I will never forget. Every time I drift off course, I think of this story.
It was a normal Monday morning, and my teacher was teaching us on important things in life and about devoting ourselves to what is important to us. This is how the story went:
An old man lived in a certain part of London, and he would wake up every morning and go to the subway. He would get onto the train right to Central London, and then sit at the street corner and beg(乞讨). He would do this every single day of his life. He sat at the same street corner and begged for almost 20 years.
His house was dirty, and a stench (恶臭) came out of the house and it smelled terrible. The neighbors could not stand the smell any more, so they called for the police officers to clear the place. The officers knocked down the door and cleaned the house. There were small bags of money all over the house that he had collected over the years.
The police counted the money, and they soon realized that the old man was a millionaire (百万富翁). They waited outside his house expecting to share the good news with him. When the old man arrived home that evening, one of the officers told him that there was no need for him to beg any more as he was a rich man now, a millionaire.
But the old man said nothing at all; he went into his house and locked the door. The next morning he woke up as usual, went to the subway, sat at the street corner and continued to beg.
Clearly, this old man had no great plans, dreams or anything significant (有意义的) for his life. We learn nothing from this story other than(除了)staying focused on(专心于)the things we enjoy doing.
小题1:The underlined part in the first paragraph may mean ______.

“I never expected that I would be so busy. Why can’t there be 25 hours in a day?” complained Liu Ran in Hong Kong as mid – term exams were going on.
The 18 – year – old girl was Shandong Province’s top scorer in this year’s college entrance examination. After graduating from Tai’ an No. 1 High School, she chose the Chinese University of Hong Kong, although two famous universities in mainland promised her a place.
“I want to experience a more international school and social life in Hong Kong. I’m majoring in(主修)journalism, so Hong Kong will surly help widen my horizons,” Liu said.
It is two months since Liu first set foot on Hong Kong. She missed home a lot at the beginning, because of the food and language problems.
“The canteen offers mostly Western or Guangdong food, but it’s convenient to cook for ourselves in our dormitory if we like. People speak Cantonese and almost all classes are in English,” Liu explained.
Her English and Cantonese are now both improving, but she still needs more time to adapt to the new environment.
“I’m happy that I made the right decision to study here. With a mix of the Eastern and Western cultures, there is so much to discover and learn,” she said.
Liu has 18 credit hours of classes every week and 23 non – credit hours every other week. She has signed up for four associations including the Chinese Language Debating Team and the drama club. Essays, book reports and presentations also take plenty of time to prepare.

Sometimes, the simplest ideas are the best. For example, to absorb heat from the sun to heat water, you need large, flat, back surfaces. One way to do that is to build those surfaces specially, on the roofs of buildings. But why go to all that trouble when cities are full of black surfaces already, in the form of asphalt(柏油) roads ?
Ten years ago, this thought came into the mind of Arian de Bondt, a Dutch engineer. He finally persuaded his boss to follow it up. The result is that their building is now heated in winter and cooled in summer by a system that relies on the surface of the road outside.
The heat-collector is a system of connected water pipes. Most of them run from one side of the street to the other, just under the asphalt road. Some, however, dive deep into the ground.
When the street surface gets hot in summer, water pumped through the pipes picks up this heat and takes it underground through one of the diving pipes. At a depth of 100 metres lies a natural aquifer(蓄水层) into which several heat exchangers(交换器)have been built. The hot water from the street runs through these exchangers, warming the groundwater, before returning to the surface through another pipe. The aquifer is thus used as a heat store.
In winter, the working system is changed slightly. Water is pumped through the heat exchangers to pick up the heat stored during summer. This water goes into the building and is used to warm the place up. After performing that task, it is pumped under the asphalt and its remaining heat keeps the road free of snow and ice.
小题1:Which of the following is true according to the first two paragraphs ?
Arian de Bondt got his idea from his boss.
Large, flat, black surfaces need to be built in cities.
The Dutch engineer’s system has been widely used.
Heat can also be collected from asphalt roads.
小题2:For what purpose are the diving pipes used ?
A.To absorb heat from the sun.B.To store heat for future use.
C.To turn solar energy into heat energy.D.To carry heat down below the surface.
小题3: From the last paragraph we can learn that __________.
A.some pipes have to be re-arranged in winter
B.the system can do more than warming up the building
C.the exchangers will pick up heat
D.less heat may be collected in winter than in summer
小题4:What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows ?
A.What we shall do if the system goes wrong.
B.What we shall do if there are no asphalt roads.
C.How the system cools the building in summer.
D.How the system collects heat in spring and autumn.

A water bearer in India had two large pots, each hung on each end of a pole which he carried across his neck. One of the pots had a crack(裂缝) in it, and while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water at the end of the long walk from the stream to the master’s house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.
This went on daily. The perfect pot was proud of its accomplishment. Of course, the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection. After two years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the water bearer one day by the stream.
“I am ashamed of myself, and I want to apologise to you.”
“Why?” asked the bearer. “What are you ashamed of?”
“I have been able, for these past two years, to deliver only half my load because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back. And you do no get full value for your efforts” the pot explained.
The water bearer felt sorry for the old cracked pot, and in his compassion he said, “As we return to the master’s house, I want you to notice the beautiful flowers along the path.”
As they went up the hill, the cracked pot took notice of the sun warming the beautiful wild flowers on the side of the path, and this cheered it a little.
The bearer said, “Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of the path, but not on the other pot’s side?” That is because I have known about you, and I took advantage of it. I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walked back from the stream, you have watered them. For two years, I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate my master’s table. Without you being just the way you are, he would not have this beauty to grace his house.”
小题1:Why did the cracked pot feel ashamed?
A.Because it didn’t hold water.
B.Because the water bearer didn’t like it.
C.It couldn’t water the flowers well.
D.Because it could only accomplish half of its load.
小题2:How would the cracked pot feel at the end of the story?
A.Delighted with itself.B.Disappointed with itself.
C.Prouder than the other pot.D.Still ashamed of itself.
小题3:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.There were flowers on both sides of the path.
B.The cracked pot was more useful than the perfect one.
C.We sometimes don’t have to mind too much the way we are.
D.The water bearer preferred the perfect pot to the cracked one.
