    If you look up the word “create” in the dictionary , you will find it means “to bring into being, to cause to exist something each of us does daily”．
    We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way First, this includes an awareness of our surroundings．It means using all of our senses to become aware of our world．This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture（质地）,as well as taste, when we plan a meal．Above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss．
    A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things．If we believe the expression,“There is nothing new under the sun, the creativity is remaking or recombining（重组） the old in new ways．”For example, we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture, or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters to create an unusual photograph．
    A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas, to ask for them to achieve some new results．To think up a new idea is one thing; to put the idea to work is another．
    These three parts of creativity are included in all the great works of geniuses, but they are also included in many of our day-to-day activities．
    小题1:Which of the following activities is NOT a creative one according to the passage?
    A．To prepare for a meal．

    D．To“write”a letter with the computer．
    小题2:“There is nothing new under the sun” really implies that _________．
    A．a new thing can only be created at the basis of earlier things
    B．a new thing is only a tale
    C．we can seldom create new things
    D．we can hardly see really new things in the world
    小题3:What does the author think about the relationship between a new thought and its being put into
    practice?

    Drinking a lot of water does not do any good to the body, according to two experts in the United States. In fact, they warn, drinking too much water could be, in certain cases, harmful.
    In a study, Dr Stanly Goldfarb and Dr Dan Negoianu, both of the Renal, Electrolyte and Hypertension Division at the University of Pensylvania, the United States, have denied the popular belief that drinking a lot of water clears body toxins（毒素）better, improves skin, and helps reduce weight.
    Dr Goldfarb and Dr Negoianu say that they found little proof to back the public opinion that drinking 8 glasses of water every day benefits health. At the same time, they fond little proof of harm in drinking 8 glasses of water every day.
    It is widely believed that in some cases-such as athletes, people who live in hot, dry environments, and those with certain medical conditions-drinking a lot of water indeed helps, but no studies have been done to prove the benefits of this practice in average, healthy people, the website medheadlines.com reports.
    The study at the University of Pennsylvania also examined reports that some people experienced increased headaches when their consumption（消耗）of water was low. In one small study, which the doctors reviewed, the group drinking the most water reported fewer headaches than the control group, “but the difference in the number of headaches was o small between the two groups as to be considered unimportant.”
    The researchers concluded that there is no scientific proof to support that average, healthy people need to drink at least 8 glasses of water each each day.
    The website medheadines.com says that, according to an Indian doctor, drinking too much water is harmful. If water enters the body more quickly than it can be removed, problems can occur.
    小题1:What’s the key message delivered in the passage?
    A．Drinking too much water might bring harm.
    B．Whether to drink enough water makes no difference.
    C．Drinking too much water may cause headaches.
    D．Average, healthy people should drink more water.
    小题2:We can learn from the passage that 8 glasses of water every day_______ .
    A．proves good for the bodyB．has scientific proof of harm
    C．is sure to reduce headachesD．is generally considered necessary
    小题3:Who may agree that drinking lots of water helps to lose weight?
    A．The two experts.B．The Indian doctor.
    C．The general public.D．The website.
    小题4:According to the passage, we know that_______.
    A．the website medheadlnes.com is developed by an Indian doctor
    B．the study was carried out by two experts with an Indian doctor
    C．the two experts performed the study at the University of Pennsylvania
    D．drinking 8 glasses of water every day can cure certain diseases

    Some couples spend every waking minute together. Others fill their hours with personal hobbies,outside interests and even part-time jobs, just to keep their distance from each other! "There should be private time and couple time," suggests Dr. Stephen Treat at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia."You don't want your latter years to turn into a process where two people unite as one. If you hold too tightly to your partner, it's going to cause resentment and anger. If you're completely separate, you'll both be lonely and disconnected. You need balance. So you have to talk about how you'll achieve that."
    The right balance? It's different for every couple. "Having a conversation about time can be difficult,but it's important for both partners to process those feelings out loud," Dr. Treat says. "You should not be accusing and act as a judge—ask the difficult questions, but do it in a loving way. You could say something like, 'How are we going to be as individuals and how are we going to be as a couple?' "
    Barbara and Chris Christensen have achieved the balance that works for them. In addition to daily routines that keep them close—including about 10 minutes for a daily check-in and about a half hour of relaxation time—they each maintain separate interests and friendships.
    "We have found that we need time apart," Barbara says. "I have a group of women friends that I have known for the last 30 years. We have dinner out once a month. We women also have parties and weekend or weeklong vacations as a group at a beach or somewhere. Chris, a former fighter pilot, has many aviation-oriented(航空的) groups and friends and also a poker-playing group of our friends. I may be with him during the poker night, but I don't play, and the wives usually watch a chick flick' DVD or something while the poker group has an evening of fun. We have found it important to have separate time as well as together time."
    小题1:The author writes the passage to ______.
    A．offer some suggestions on how to spend the time after retirement
    B．advise couples to develop their separate hobbies
    C．warn couples not to be accusing each other

    A．many couples are faced with problems after retirement
    B．America has a large population of retired people
    C．most people join various social groups after retirement
    D．playing poker is a popular activity among retired people
    小题4:Barbara and her friends do the following EXCEPT_______.
    A．having dinner regularly
    B．holding parties
    C．having weekly vacations at the beach
    D．having fun playing poker

    第三部分 阅读 ( 共两节，满分40分)
    第一节 阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    When I walked into the house after school, the first thing I noticed was a box with items I recognized from my dad’s office.
    “What are you doing home already?” I asked casually.
    “Andrew, I was laid off today,” he answered, quietly.
    I was sure he was joking. “No, you weren’t. Why are you really home?”
    Then I noticed his seriousness and realized he was telling the truth. My father has always been a hard worker and prided himself on his career. Providing for our family has been his joy, and I guess I had taken his work for granted.
    My father’s unemployment created many changes in our lives. For starters, he was home all the time, which meant my bed had to be made, my room cleaned up, and my homework done right after school. I would come home every day to find him at the computer searching for jobs. I began to notice how down he seemed, and how losing his job had affected his self-esteem, though he tried to be optimistic. For the first time, I saw my dad as vulnerable. He asked my brother and me to spend less. I gave up my allowance, which even though it wasn’t much, felt like the right thing to do. I also found a part-time job.
    After several difficult months of searching, my dad decided to go in a totally different direction. He explained that he never wanted to be laid off again, so he was going to start his own business. Day by day, I watched him build it, and I admired how much time and energy he expended.
    One evening I asked if he needed help.
    “Only if it doesn’t interfere with school,” he said.
    I showed up at his office the next afternoon, and most afternoons after that for two months. I always knew he was a hard worker, but watching him in action really impacted me. Although this was one of the worst experiences for our family, it taught me a lot about dealing with adversity. Now I know that through creative problem-solving, I can always find Plan B, ask for help, and take risks. What I have learned from my dad’s understanding of business and his work ethic are two of the most important lessons I will ever learn, and will be my foundations for success.
    41.   The author’s father stayed at home because __________.
    A. he had to help with the author’s lessons
    B. his boss had stopped employing him
    C. heavy house work was waiting for him to do
    D. he wanted to search for new jobs on line
    42.   What made the author know the truth?
    A. The box from his dad’s office.      B. His father’s words.
    C. His father’s expression_r_r.                  D. Being informed by his family.
    43.   The author’s attitude toward his father’s former job was __________.
    A. unconcerned   B. sympathetic   C. doubtful   D. tolerant
    44.   By saying “Only if it doesn’t interfere with school,” the author’s father seemed ____________.
    A. to refuse the author’s advice on the new business
    B. to show his discontent with the author’s schoolwork
    C. to have said yes to the author’s offer of help
    D. to be looking forward to the author’s good behavior at school
    45.   It can be inferred from the text that ___________.
    A. the author’s father was more optimistic to stay at home
    B. the author couldn’t put up with his dad’s own business
    C. the author’s father offered little allo wance to the author
    D. the author benefited from his father on how to deal with adversity

    Sitting by her Pinocchio lamp, she smiled at me as her tiny hands' shadow danced on the bedroom wall．"A rabbit!" she laughed with all the delight of a four-year old．Her blue eyes shone with pride as she showed me the animated image she had created．"Daddy, will you show me how to make a tiger?" she asked．"Sure," I said, "and then we'll read a story and tell your angels goodnight．"To my youngest daughter, that meant her bedtime prayer．
    Today my daughter is seven, and I no longer get to read the story．She reads it to me, complete with expressive accents for the story characters．
    To say I'm proud of our relationship would be an understatement．We have shared days of joy as well as tragedy．Our time together has strengthened the relationship of love and special "life stuff" that is all our own．
    I am richer for having planted the spirit of trust in this gentle little person; we have grown together spiritually, learning much from each other．The special times we spend together, like nights by a Pinocchio lamp, create memories that we will treasure for the rest of our lives．
    So it is with all of our relationships．The trust factor is vital for relationships to develop．Think of one of your fondest memories, and you will no doubt find a remarkable relationship at its center--one with a spiritual quality that shines outward from the heart．
    Time together, caring acts, and unconditional love build trust．I suggest that we each spend plenty of time with our personal "Pinoechio lamps"--those special ways that we choose to strengthen our relationships．
    Relationships take time to develop and maintain．It is not always easy, but the results are priceless．"Nights by a Pinoechio lamp", wherever those might be for you, will create enduring relationships of golden "life stuff", spiritual gifts that no one can take away．

    Warning: reading too much Cinderella to your daughter may damage her emotional health in later life. A paper to be developed at the international congress of cognitive psychotherapy(认知心理疗法) in Gothenburg suggests a link between the attitudes of women abused by their parents and early exposure to the wrong sort of fairy tales. It says girls who identified with Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast were more likely to say in destructive relationships as adults.
    The theory was developed by Susan Darker Smith, a psychotherapist at the University of Derby. She interviewed 67 female abuse survivors and found that 61 put up with severe abuse because they believed they could change their partners with patience, composition and love. The same view was taken by male survivors who had been abused as children. Hardly any of the women in a control group, who had not experienced abuse, thought they could change their partners in this way.
    The same view was taken by male survivors who had been abused as children. These women and men said they would leave a relationship rather than put up with abuse from a partner. Ms Darker Smith found the abused women were much more likely to identify with Cinderella and other submissive female characters in fairytales, who were later rescued by a stranger prince or hero.
    Although most girls heard the stories, damage appeared to be done to those who adopted the characters as role models. “They believe if their love is strong enough they can change their parents’ behaviors,” she said.” Overexposure in children to stories that emphasize the transformational qualities of love may make women believe they can change their partners.” For example, they might never have understood the obvious flaw in the story of Rapunzel, who remained locked in a high tower until rescued by a knight on a white horse, who broke the door down. “The question,” said Ms Darker Smith, “is why she did not break the door down herself.”
    小题1:The passage is especially intended for _________.
    A．parents with young daughters
    B．girls who like reading fairy stories
    C．girls who think they can change their partners
    D．parents with grown-up daughters
    小题2:Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast are similar in that _________.
    A．They all married some princes
    B．They all changed their partners with love
    C．They were all abused by their partners
    D．They all put up with abuse
    小题3:Which of the following statements is true of the women in a control group?
    A．They don’t believe in fairy tales.
    B．They don’t believe in the transformational qualities of love.
    C．They have also experienced abuse.
    D．They survived abuse.
    小题4:What does the underlined word “submissive”in the 3rd paragraph probably mean?

    Who is there among us who hasn’t dreamed of having his or her own small (maybe , several years later , even big )business , and having wonderful freedom , both from a boss and from the time clock ; the freedom to make up our own rules for our work , and our own plans —arranging our own hours of work ? That way work would be both painless and fun. Or, so we imagine.
    Well, in fact it isn’t quite as simple as that. Yes , it is true that being the boss has its satisfactions and that you can arrange your working hours freely if you own your own small business . But in those early years of starting your own business, you shouldn’t think of a free day, not to mention flying off for a month’s vacation. It is not unusual for new business owners to work seventy or eighty hours a week , and if there is a day off , that day might need to be devoted to accounting (算账).
    But this negative picture doesn’t destroy the beautiful hopes. The possibility of getting something wonderful in return—both material and mental—continues to drive that large number of people who start up small businesses each year in the United States.
    小题1:From the first paragraph, we know that everybody hopes  ________ .
    A．to rule others B．to be his or her own boss
    C．to get a time clockD．to be free from work
    小题2:Most new business owners have to  ________  .
    A．work more than 10 hours a day B．devote himself to accounting
    C．fly to some places in the world D．have a day off in a week
    小题3:The expression “negative picture” most probably means “  ________ “.
    A．a terrible experience B．a poor picture
    C．limited freedom D．unpleasant situations
    小题4:The beautiful hopes will never be destroyed because  ________ .
    A．people love beautiful things by nature
    B．people have a strong desire to seek personal gains
    C．small businesses make big money each year in the US
    D．small businesses have advantages over big companies

    Everyone needs friends. There is an old saying, “Friends are God’s way of taking care of us.” But how do you find real friendship and keep it?
    The American writer Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed(种子) and take care of it to make it grow.
    First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient(耐心). For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complaints and do his best to help. To make a good friend, you cannot be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives.
    But things cannot always be happy. Even the best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, have an honest talk. If he or she doesn’t want to talk, you could write a letter.
    There are three steps to being friends again:
    Tell him or her how you are feeling; say what your friend has done wrong, and explain why you did this or that. Remember that friendship is the most important thing in your life.
    49  Sally wants to tell students the ways to_____.
    A  find friends       B  plant trees         C  get happy          D  keep fit

    A  buy a present for                                  B  never say a word to
    C  have dinner with                                   D  write a letter to
    52  What is the best title of the text?
    A  Teenagers and friendship.                        B  The good friends around you.
