三．完形填空
Each of us fails from time to time. If we are wise, we accept these failures as a 36 part of the learning process. But all too often as parents and teachers we disallow this 37 right to our children.
When I see a child 38 to this kind of pressure, I think of Donnie.
Donnie was my youngest third grader. His 39 of failure kept him from classroom games that other children enjoyed. He 40 answered questions — he might be wrong.
I tried my best to build his 41. But nothing changed until midterm, when Mary Anne, a student teacher, was assigned （安排）to our classroom.
She was young and pretty, and she loved children. My pupils, Donnie included, 42 her.
One morning, we were working math problems at the chalkboard. Donnie had 43 the problems with painstaking neatness. Pleased with his progress, I 44 the children with Mary Anne and went for art materials. When I returned, Donnie was in 45 . He’d missed the third problem.
My student teacher looked at me in despair. Suddenly her face 46. From the desk we shared, she got a container filled with pencils.
"Look, Donnie," she said, kneeling beside him and gently 47 the tearstained face from his arms. "I’ve got something to48 you." She removed the pencils, one at a time, and placed them on his desk.
"See these 49 , Donnie," she continued. "They belong to Mrs. Lindstrom and me. See how the erasers are 50 ? That’s because we make mistakes too.But we erase the mistakes and try again. That’s what you 51 learn to do, too."
She kissed him and stood up. "Here," she said, "I’ll leave one of these pencils on 52 desk so you’ll remember that everybody makes mistakes, 53 teachers." Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and a smile.
The pencil became Donnie’s 54 possession. That, together with Mary Anne’s frequent encouragement, gradually 55 him that it’s all right to make mistakes — as long as you erase them and try again.

四. 阅读理解.
A
To explain why he liked his art teacher the best, 16-year-old Dainzin Tanam could not write more words than a simple sentence “Because he teaches me painting.”
In the eyes of his teachers at the Lhasa Special Education School, the deaf boy was a little painter. Five years ago, however, all Tanam could do was to stay in bed until noon, and then stare at the sky through the window, waiting for his parents' return.
His mother Yangzom said she had no other choice but to lock him in the house every day as she and her husband had to work and they did not want to allow the boy to roam(闲逛) the streets.
“Every day when I came back home and saw my lonely poor son, I felt my heart hurt. But now I can finally feel a bit relieved,” the mother said. She said it was the school that changed his son. “Without the school, I dared not imagine how my son would be now.”
With a governmental fund of 4.5 million yuan, the special education school was founded in 2000. The only government-run school for handicapped children in Tibet, it now has 28 teachers and 120 school children in nine classes of 5 grades. Eight classes in the school are for deaf kids and the other one is for blind kids.
Students can enjoy free food, boarding, clothing and medical services in the school, which is open to deaf and blind children from all over the autonomous region.
Tibetan sign language and Tibetan braille are basic courses here. Children also have Tibetan, Chinese, mathematics, science, painting, dancing and sports lessons.
A “black and white” textbook seemed appealing among the colorful books in Tanam's schoolbag. The text was handwritten.
It was the Tibetan language textbook compiled and written by teachers themselves.
“As textbooks for students in ordinary schools sometimes are too abstract and hard for our kids to understand, two other Tibetan language teachers and I compiled the textbook to make things easier for them,” said teacher Dawa.
Those books with the love of all the teachers, though not spoke out, will surely help children enjoy their life by supporting themselves after leaving the school.
56. How old was the Dainzin Tanam when he began to go to the Lhasa Special Education School?
A. 16 years old B. 11 years old C. 21 years old D. 5years old
57. What is the parents’ feeling about the special school?
A. relieved B. excited C. grateful D. lighthearted
58. Who wrote the “black and white” textbooks for the children?
A. Dawa B. The teachers in the special school
C. Dawa and another two teachers D. nobody but sent by the government
59. We can infer from the text ____.
A. most of the handicapped children in this school are from poor families.
B. the students are of the same age in the Lhasa Special Education School.
C. the teachers made up textbooks for the students to study more easily.
D. the education received from the school will have a great effect on the children’s future life.
B
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 （批评）and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation（模仿）. 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.
Although 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 wrongdoings. 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 （接触）with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.
60．“The phrase“sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means________.
A. have a good taste with social life B. make others unhappy
C. tend to scold others openly D. enjoy the pleasure of life
61．We can conclude from the passage that________.
A. we should pity all such unhappy people B. such unhappy people are dangerous to social life
C. people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness D. unhappy people can not understand happy persons
62．If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit , the author suggests that people should ___.
A. prevent any communication with them B. show no respect and politeness to them
C. persuade them to recognize the bad effects D. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes
63．In this passage, the writer mainly________.
A. describes two types of people B. laughs at the unhappy people
C. suggests ways to help them unhappy D. tells people how to be happy in life
C
The publication of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" gladdens booksellers across China. The British and American editions were No. 1 and No. 3 respectively on the sales chart of the Beijing Xidan Book Building last week. The book's poster is highlighted and news about the book can often be heard on the radio.
Why is the book so attractive to children? With curious mood, the author got a copy of "Harry Potter". Originally, I wanted to glance over it and made some criticisms. But, out of expectation, the author has been deeply attracted by the magic world. On the other hand, one cannot help asking: where is our own "Harry Potter"?
The Chinese nation has a history of 5,000 years, which cannot be regarded as short and its culture as not profound. With a vast market of youngsters, China did publish many books popular among children. However, why are the present works not as good as those imported?
There come two major reasons: Firstly, quite a number of children's books are of strong sense of teaching, and lack interest and entertainment. Children often have a feeling of being "educated". No wonder they don't like them. Secondly, children's reading materials involving "idiom stories" and "Chinese talents' stories", though always in different covers, are usually much the same or plagiarized. One knows the ending as early as in the beginning. In final analysis, the authors of the books seldom take children's requirements into consideration.
As a matter of fact, each child has his own wonderful imagination. They long to understand the world and nature. Similarly they have their own choices. They dislike similar stories, even if the stories are excellent. First-class reading for children should be very interesting, which contains knowledge and the essence of national culture, which are presented in children's language.
Market is a touchstone for products. The theory also holds true for cultural products. It is hoped that the authors of children's books can learn something from the good market of "Harry Potter" and write out more and better books loved by children.
64. The disadvantages of our books are the following except____
A. they have little sense of interest and entertainment
B. many of our books are of the same
C. the authors didn’t pay much attention to the children’s tastes.
D. Our authors never know what our children need.
65. The reason why the imported book is so popular is that _____.
A. it has no sense of teaching B. it opens a wonderful world for children to explore
C. it is only written in children’s language D. it is advertised more on TV or poster.
66. What’s the feeling of the writer when he finishes reading “Harry Potter”?
A. He is so angry that he wants to criticize the book
B. He is also attracted by the book
C. He is shocked by the book, meanwhile he is worried about our books.
D. He can’t help looking for Harry Potter.
67. What does the writer mean by writing “where’s our own Harry Potter”?
A. We are short of books for children
B. We Chinese must produce books as popular as “Harry Potter”.
C. Authors should write books in the same way as “Harry Potter”
D. Our authors are hoped to make the market of our books for children take off
D
Peaceful Use of Space Resources Drives China's Space Program
China's successful launch of its second manned spacecraft Shenzhou-6 has drawn worldwide applause. It has become the third nation in the world capable of putting men into space.
It is widely believed home abroad that the latest progress made by China will surely improve national cohesiveness（内聚性）and make the country's 1.3 billion people more confident in their future in terms of social and economic progress.
However, some people in and outside China describe China's manned space program as a prestige project which yields little economic benefit.
They argue that billions of US dollars spent on the decade-old space program may be better used for poverty relief and education as millions of Chinese still have a poor living and many children cannot afford basic schooling. However, mankind does need to make use of space resources for sustainable human development.
Space technology has become increasingly important for the exploration and peaceful use of space resources due to the shrinking reserve of natural resources on the Earth.
Lunar reserve of isotope helium 3 is sufficient for human need for about 10,000 years, which is attractive to the mankind being troubled by high oil prices and limited oil reserve.
China has benefited from the dividend of its investment in space sector. Space technology has become an indispensable part of people's daily life, such as weather forecast, telecommunications, disaster reduction, and resources prospecting.
Striving hard to feed its 1.3 billion people and more in the future, China has been developing improved species of crops on the basis of space technology, mostly through recoverable satellites and spacecraft.
Information obtained from Shenzhou-3 and Shenzhou-4 in Earth observation has been used for maritime(海上的) pollution control and desertification(沙漠化) control projects, which is useful for China and other parts of the world.
China has listed space technology and information technology among the country's seven high-tech fields in its national high-tech research and development program initiated in 1986.
68. Which point of view may the author not agree to?
A. The successful launch is significant to the development of our country.
B. The successful launch proves that our space technology is advanced in the world.
C. Though the launch is successful, it benefits little in term of economy.
D. It’s necessary to explore resources in space.
69. Some people think China’s manned space program yields little economic benefits as they think about the following except _____.
A. there are many poor areas in China lacking supports.
B. many children can’t go to school because of poverty.
C. it will delay the progress of economy.
D. it costs too much on the space program.
70. Which supports the idea of the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
A. Resources are shrinking all over the world B. There are enough useful resources for human use.
C. The mankind is worrying about less and less oil resource D. All above
71. What does the underlined word “prestige” perhaps mean in the 3rd paragraph?
A. fame B. success C. failure D. pride

一． 单项选择。
21. D. 题中and说明是并列句，排除了A、B。后空would表示“倾向”。
22. C. 23. A. mind one’s manners 意为“注意礼貌”。Mind your steps “当心走好。”
24. C. 25. B. 考查倒装.
26. C. be supposed to do “理当、应该” A项不与时间状语连用 B,D意思不对。
27. D。根据上下文语境及答话人的意思：我敢肯定这部电影不可能使每个人都感兴趣，说明该句为部分否定。
28.C。根据对话情景可知，对话发生在两个陌生人之间，一人请求他人帮忙，但因为都是陌生人，未能提供帮助。对这种情景的回答，也要表示感谢，但在后面常用anyway 或all the same。
29. A。第一空表示一种可能性，用may not speak "可能不会说"；第二空表示有某种能力。
30. D。根据句中时间状语for some time以及后一分句的动词时态可知，选项动词动作强调到现在为止并仍在继续，故排除A、C。由于选项B现在进行时不可与一段时间状语连用，选D现在完成进行时。
31. D。空格后的从句是说明句子的主语The recent information 的内容，故该句是同位语从句，应选that连接主从句，且不可省略。
32. D。该题为一个带有定语从句的复合句，句中作定语的关系代词who指代先行词teachers，为复数，故谓语动词该用are； as well as连接两个主语时，谓语动词要根据前一个主语决定；由 every, no, each 等限定的并由and连接的两个并列名词作主语时，谓语动词要用单数形式。
33. 为A。分析句子结构和句子意思可知，空格所需的选项均为两个句子的主语，第一空作介词after的宾语；第二空作动词短语carry out 的宾语；根据四个选项，只有what可在句中作此成分。
34. A。根据问话人所用的most可以知道，句中 electronic dictionaries 应为三者以上，再根据答句意义判断，选项应为否定，故应选none。该句答句部分both...and很容易迷惑考生，使之误认为是两者的否定形式，而误选 neither。
35. B。第一空动词attend为及物动词，表主动，根据感觉动词find所跟复合结构，不可使用to attend，过去分词attended表被动，意义也不成立，可选用attending或attend，但根据句意，此处强调状态，故attending现在分词为最佳选项；第二空介词about 后应使用动名词形式there being。
【解题关键】文章首先通过议论来说明犯错误是人们学习过程中的必要部分，但老师和家长往往剥夺孩子犯错误的权利，导致孩子害怕犯错误。然后，通过具体事例说明应如何对待犯错误的孩子，怎样鼓励他们，培养他们的自信心。理清文章的结构、把作者叙述的故事和作者想要表达的观点结合起来理解分析是做好这篇完形填空的关键。
【答案解析】
36. C犯错误应该是人们学习过程中"必要的"部分。
37. B大人有犯错误的权利，孩子也应该拥有"同样的"权利。
38. D(be) subject to为习惯表达，意为"容易受……的影响、容易遭受"。
39. A由后文得出，Donnie"害怕"犯错误。
40. D由上下文的逻辑关系得出，因为Donnie害怕犯错误，所以"很少"回答问题。never太绝对。
41. C作为老师，"我"应该是尽力建立他的"自信"。
42. A这位见习老师如此可爱，关爱学生，当然受到学生的"尊敬"。
43 B从后面Donnie漏掉了第三题以及他数学不好判断，此处选"抄"下了数学题符合逻辑。
44. A"我"对Donnie的进步感到满意，因此把学生交给见习老师Mary Anne。Leave sb. with 为固定结构，意为"把……托付给……"。
45. D后面有Donnie泪流满面的提示。
46. B Mary Anne脸部一"亮"，说明她有了一个好主意。
47. A Mary Anne为了鼓励和安慰Donnie，轻轻地"托起"了他的头。
48. B从后面Mary Anne所做的动作判断，她想通过形象的方式向Donnie"展示"犯错误是很自然的事情。
49. A Mary Anne以"铅笔"和橡皮为例说明犯错误的普遍性。
50. C在具体的语境中考查形容词的运用。橡皮经常用来"擦"写错的东西，因此是"磨损"了。be worn 当"破损"讲。
51. B must说明人的观点和建议，符合题意。
52. D从后面看Mary Anne把一支铅笔放在了Donnie的桌子上，给他以鼓励和启示。
53. Ceven表示程度更进一步，符合逻辑。"甚至"老师也经常犯错误。
54. AB、C意义和possession重复，expected文章中没有信息依据。因此此处是Mary Anne把铅笔作为"奖赏"给了Donnie。
55. C Mary Anne通过形象、浅显的方式最终"说服"了Donnie,使他摆脱了害怕犯错误的心理阴影。
三．阅读理解。
56. B根据第二段的five years ago可知16减去5得11。
57. C relieved宽慰的；excited激动的；grateful感激的；lightheated轻松愉快的 。根据第四段最后一句“Without the school, I dared not imagine how my son would be now.”可以确定父母流露出的是感激之情。
58. C倒数第三段two other Tibetan language teachers and I可知由Dawa和另两位老师编写的。
59. A 从第六小节可知学生免费食宿，第五段中可知全部有政府出资建校学校，由此可以推测多数孩子来自贫困家庭。文章的第五段可知学生年龄不一，因此B是错误的推测；倒数第二段teacher Dawa讲的那句话正是C选项的意思；文章的最后一段意思D选项相似。所以答案为A。
60．B 提示：“sour”是“变酸”的意思；当然可以从短语所在那句话中轻易得出。
61．C 提示：作者用大量笔墨表达了这个观点。并且在二、三段中更有直接的叙述。
62．A 提示：最后一段中有这样一句“If they don't，it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them”，由此可知。
63．C 提示：通读全文可知，作者在描述了这类人后，提出了大量建议，从而最终归结到写作目的去。
64. D文章第四段可以确定ABC三个选项的内容。该段的最后一句说作者很少考虑孩子的需求，并没有说作者从来不知道孩子需要什么。
65. B第四段解释为何中国的书籍不受欢迎的原因可以反衬进口的书籍之所以畅销。
66. C 第二段的第三句话out of expectation, the author has been deeply attracted by the magic world. On the other hand, one cannot help asking: where is our own "Harry Potter"?
说明作者被书所震惊，同时不得不深思。
67. D第三段的China did publish many books popular among children.说明中国并非缺乏图书可以排除A选项。B，C相对于D项意义狭窄。文章的最后一句是总的概括，希望中国的作者们能够像"Harry Potter"一样拥有市场。It is hoped that the authors of children's books can learn something from the good market of "Harry Potter" and write out more and better books loved by children.所以选D为正确答案。
68. C 第一段的It has become the third nation in the world capable of putting men into space.说明B项正确；阅读文章可知在第三段提到some people的观点……which yields little economic benefit.，不是作者的观点；第二段符合A项叙述的内容；第四段最后一句However, mankind does need to make use of space resources for sustainable human development.说明D项正确。所以答案为C。
69. C 第四段第一句billions of US dollars spent on the decade-old space program may be better used for poverty relief and education as millions of Chinese still have a poor living and many children cannot afford basic schooling.包含了A、B、D三个选项的内容，some people并没有说太空计划会延误经济的发展，所以C符合提问要求。
70. D 第五节due to the shrinking reserve of natural resources on the Earth.和第六节Lunar reserve of isotope helium 3 is sufficient for human need for about 10,000 years, which is attractive to the mankind being troubled by high oil prices and limited oil reserve.是该题的依据。所以选D为正确答案。
71. A 分析该词本句及前后句意义可知，一些人认为中国发射载人飞船，仅是为了名誉、声望，而却不能带来什么经济利益。prestige“声望、名誉”。
72．B 提示：题目设定你的工作时间是9：00 a．m．-4：30 p．m．游览各广告，Global English Center有evening classes，the International House有A four-month evening programmer for developing speaking skill．故选择B.
73．D 提示：The 21st Century与其他学校不同在于它要求有入学考试。选项B具有一定的干扰性。但Global English Center也是close to city center and bus stop。至于哪个学校离市中心最近，不得而知。
74．B 提示：在两所你能够去的英语学校中，你可能选择the International House，是因为它设有英语口语班，这和本文开头提到的你的愿望是提高英语，特别是英语口语水平正好相符。选项A是很诱人的一项，具有较强的干扰性。但与你的主要目的不一致。
75．D 提示：这是一道计算题。已知60 yuan for 12 hours per week，那么60×4=240，每个月学费240 yuan，240×3=720，三个月720 yuan。因为evening course为四个月的课程再加240 yuan，为960 yuan。

A recent survey shows that the health of the students in our school has been going from bad to worse in the past three years . The number of nearsighted students has increased from 78.2% in 2002 to 92.5% in 2005 , while that of overweight , from 36% to 52.4%. Nearly 10% more students lack sleep because of more homework to do . Besides , over 15% more students become mentally unhealthy .
To improve students’ health , we call for less homework . Only in this way can students get plenty of sleep and meanwhile prevent them from being nearsighted . Proper diets and exercise should also be paid attention to so that they won’t easily put on weight . With their heavy burdens removed , students can then keep in normal mental health .
