Opportunities don’t come often . They come every once in a while. Very often, they come quietly and go by without 31 (notice). Therefore, it is advisable that you value and treat 32 with care. When an opportunity comes, it brings a promise but never realizes it on its own. . 33 you want to achieve something or intended to fulfill one of your ambitions, you must work hard, make efforts and get prepared. 34 , you will take no advantage of opportunities when they come to visit you . The difference between a man who succeeds and 35 who does not lies only 36 the way each treats opportunities. The successful person always makes adequate preparations to meet opportunities as they duly arrive. The 37 (success) person, on the other hand, works 38 and just waits to see them pass by. In my opinion, there are plenty of opportunities for everyone in our society, 39 only those who are prepared 40 (adequate) and qualified highly can make use of them to achieve their purpose.
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、D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑 （A）
A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps; for there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best company, whether it is of books or of men.
A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today that it always was, and it will never change. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon us in time of adversity or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness, amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting and consoling us in age.
Books possess an essence of immortality. They are by far the most lasting products of human effort. Temples and statues decay, but books survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author’s minds ages ago. What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page. The only effect of time has been to sift out the bad products; for nothing in literature can long survive but what is really good.
Books introduce us into the best society; they bring us into the presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived．We hear what they said and did; we see them as if they were really alive; we sympathize with them, enjoy with them, grieve with them; their experience becomes ours, and we feel as if we were, in a measure, actors with them in the scenes which they describe.
The great and good do not die even in this world．Embalmed in books, their spirits walk abroad．The book is a living voice. It is an intellect to which one still listens. Hence we ever remain under the influence of the great men of old．The imperial intellects of the world are as much alive now as they were ages ago.
41．Which of the following is not the reason why a book is the best of friends?
A．That it will never change.
B．That it is the most patient and cheerful of companions.
C．That it doesn’t turn its back upon us.
D．That it goes away from us in time of adversity or distress.
42．Which of the following about books is true?
A．Books can decay.
B．Books are bad products.
C．Books possess an essence of immortality.
D．Temples survive the same as books.
43．A man may usually be known by _________
A．the books he reads B．his adversity
C．the statues D．time
44．Why don’t the great and good die even in the world?
A．Because they can have a longer life span.
B．Because they like books.
C．Because they are statues
D．Because their spirits are embalmed in books.
45．By writing the passage, the author wants to tell us ________
A．how to make friends
B．books can also be our best friends
C．the great and good do not die in this world
D．how to read books

They were dropping out from under the edge of the roof." You mean there are more-outside?" They're everywhere, Dad. But look at it this way. When the cold weather comes, they’ll be off to Mexico.

You're a very lucky man.” I offered to share my luck with him. He could take them away. Bats have a remarkable homing instinct(本能),"he said. They'd fly straight back even if I transported them 100 miles. Once they have settled, you can't stop them from coming back." I was silent.
Finally we managed to rent “(出租)the house to a young family, who were also interested in buying it. What about the bats?" I said to Patrick.
Oh, they love the bats,” he said. No mosquitoes. No black flies. It's one of the things that attracted them." Do you think they will really buy the house? "Probably." Probably? Well,if they do ,I suppose I'll have to admit that I was wrong. "You mean you're going to eat your words?"

Not all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences . Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars . Often they relive (重新体验) these experiences in nightmares .
Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill , which will help people forget bad memories . The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience . They hope it might reduce , or possible erase (抹去) the effect of painful memories .
In November , experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain . So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced , not that the memories are eased .
The research has caused a great deal of argument . Some think it is a bad idea , while others support it . Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers’ troubling memories after war .
They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories . “Some memories can ruin people’s lives . They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare . They usually come with very painful emotions ,” said Roger Pitman , a professor of psychiatry (精神病学) at Harvard Medical School. “This could relieve a lot of that suffering .”
But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity (物质). They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past . “All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are . I’m not sure we’d want to wipe those memories out.” said Rebecca Dresser , a medical ethicist (伦理学家).
Some people fear that although the drug would first be used in only very serious cases , it would become more and more common . “People always have the ability to misuse science,” said Joeph LeDoux, a New York University memory researcher . “All we want to do is help people have better control of memories .”
51．What’s the main idea of the text ?
A．People often suffer from bad memories .
B．American researchers are trying to develop a pill .
C．Forget bad memories , and be happy .
D．The research has cause a heated argument .
52．The underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refers to “ ”.
A．the new drug B．the research into the drug
C．the memory D．the chemical in the drug
53．Which of the following is not the opinion of the supporters ?
A．The pill can erase all the memories in the past
B．Some memories can ruin people’s lives. The pill can relieve emotional suffering .
C．The pill can also help many other types of people who suffer from terrible memories .
D．The pill can also prevent or treat troubling memories in soldiers after war
54．Which of the following is not the opinion of the opponents (反对者)?
A．Our memories give us our identity .
B．The memories help humanity avoid mistake of the past .
C．The drug should be used in only very serious cases .
D．People may not be sure whether they want to wipe the memories out .
55．It could be inferred from the passage that .
A．the pill has been developed and will be more and more common
B．the pill has helped soldiers forget bad experiences during the war .
C．The pill is being tested on some people by some researchers .
D．The pill will be forbidden because people have different opinions

F Amazon. com founder Jeff Bezos grew interested in online retailing(零售业) in 1994 while working as a business analyst in New York City.

That year he left New York to establish his new company in Seattle, chosen for its being near to major book wholesalers and the advanced high-tech industry. In July 1995 Amazon. com developed its Web site, and has since expanded to offer many other retail products in addition to books.

Honesty Is Gold
Honesty means speaking the truth and being fair and upright in act。 He who lies and cheats is dishonest. Those who gain fortunes not by hard labour but by other means are dishonest.
Honesty is a good virtue. If you are honest all the time, you’ll be trusted and respected by others. A liar is always looked down upon and regarded as a black sheep by the people around. Once you lie, people will never believe you even if you speak the truth. However, in the title of commodity economy today, it seems that more and more people believe in money at the sacrifice of honesty. To them, among such things as health, beauty, money, intelligence , honesty, reputation and talent, honesty is the only thing that can be cast away. They don’t understand or pretend not to understand that honesty is the biggest fortune humans own, and that it is the prerequisite for doing everything well. I think these people are to be pitied.
In short , honesty is gold. Honest, your reputation will become great; dishonest, your name will be spoiled and your personality degraded. Therefore, we should never make such an excuse as “ A little dishonesty is only a triffle thing”. We should eradicate immediately the seed of dishonesty once it is sowed in our

Dear editor,
I am a middle school student. I often see some people spitting in the street. I think it's a bad habit to spit on the ground. As we all know, spitting carries and spreads diseases, pollutes our environment and does harm to our health. Our government should take some measures to protect the environment. If someone spits in a public place, he or she will be fined heavily and educated. For my part, our city will become more beautiful if all the people care about the environment.
Yours sincerely,
