A few days ago I asked my sons’ governess（女家庭教师）Julia to come into my study. “Be seated, Julia, ”I said, “Let’s settle our accounts. I guess you most likely need some money, but maybe you’re too polite to mention it. Now then, we agreed on thirty dollars a month...”
“Forty.”
“No, thirty. I made a note of it. I always pay our governess thirty. Well, um, you’ve been here two months, so...”
“Two months and five days.”
“Exactly two months. I made a special note of it. That means you have sixty dollars coming to you. Take off nine Sundays... you know you didn’t work with Tom on Sundays, you only took walks. And three holidays... ”Julia was biting her finger nail nervously, her face red, but - not a word.
“Three holidays, therefore take off twelve dollars. Four days Tom was sick and there were no lessons, as you were occupied only with Dick. Three days you had a toothache and my wife gave you permission not to work after lunch. Twelve and seven - nineteen. Take nineteen off ... that leaves. hmm.... forty one dollars. Correct？”
Julia’s left eye reddened with tears welling up. Her chin trembled; she coughed nervously and blew her nose, but - still not a word.
“Around New Year’s Day you broke a teacup and a saucer; take off two dollars. The cup cost more, it was a treasure of the family, but- forget it. When didn’t I take a loss! Then, due to your neglect （疏忽）, Tom climbed a tree and tore his jacket; take away ten. Also due to your carelessness the maid stole Dick’s shoes. You ought to watch everything! You get paid for it. So, that means five more dollars off. The tenth of January I gave ten dollars.”
“You didn’t. ”sobbed Julia.
“But I made a note of it.”
“Well... if you say so.”
“Take twenty seven from forty one -that leaves fourteen.”
Both her eyes were filled with tears. Beads of sweat stood on the thin pretty little nose. Poor girl!
“Only once was I given any money,” she whispered, her voice trembling, “and that was by your wife. Three dollars, nothing more.”
“Really? You see now, and I didn’t know that! Take three from fourteen.. leaves eleven. Here’s your money, my dear. Three, three, three, one and one. Here it is !”
I handed her eleven dollars. She took them and pocketed them.
“Merci （法语: 谢谢）,”she whispered.
I jumped to my feet and started pacing the room. I was overcome with anger. “For what, this - ‘merci’?” I asked.
“For the money. ”
“But you know I’ve cheated you - robbed you ! I have actually stolen from you ! Why this‘merci’？”
“In my other places they didn’t give me anything at all.”
“They didn’t give you anything? No wonder! I played a little joke on you, a cruel lesson, just to teach you... I m going to give you all the eighty dollars! Here they are in the envelope all ready for you... Is it really possible to be so spineless （懦弱）?Why didn’t you protest? Why were you silent? Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws（爪）—to be such a fool?”
Embarrassed, she smiled. And I could read her expression,“It is possible.”
I asked her pardon for the cruel lesson and, to her great surprise, gave her the eighty dollars. She murmured her little“merci”several times and went out. I looked after her and thought,“How easy it is to crush the weak in this world !”

Want a glance of the future of health care? Take a look at the way the various networks of people about patient care are being connected to one another, and how this new connectivity is being exploited to deliver medicine to the patient - no matter where he or she may be.
Online doctors offering advice based on norman symptoms（症状）are the most obvious example. Increasingly, however, remote diagnosis（远程诊断）will be based on real physiological data（生理数据）from the actual patient. A group from the University of Kentucky has shown that by using personal data assistance plus a mobile phone ,it is perfectly practical to send a patient’s important signs over the telephone. With this kind of equipement, the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past.
Other medical technology groups are working on applying telemedicine to rural （countryside） care. And at least one team wants to use telemedicine as a tool for disaster need - especially after earthquakes. On the whole, the trend is towards providing global access to medical data and experts’ opinions.
But there is one problem. Bandwidth（宽带） is the limiting factor for sending complex （复 杂 ）medical pictures around the world,—CU photos being one of the biggest bandwidth users. Communication satellites say be able to deal with the short - term needs during disasters such as earthquakes or wars. But medicine is looking towards both the second - generation Internet and third generation mobile phones for the future of remote medical service.
Doctors have met to discuss computer - based tools for medical diagnosis, training and telemedicine. With the falling price of broadband communications, the new technologies should start a new time when telemedicine and the sharing of medical information, experts’opinions and diagnosis are common.
68．The writer chiefly talks about ________ .
A. the use of telemedicine
B. the on -lined doctors
C. medical care and treatment
D. communication improvement
69．Which of the following statements is true according to the text?
A. Patients don’t need doctors in hospitals any more.
B. It is impossible to send a patient’s signs over the telephone.
C. Many teams use telemedicine dealing with disasters now.
D. Broadband communications will become cheaper in the future.
70．The“problem”in the fourth paragraph refers to the fact that ________ .
A. bandwidth isn’t big enough to send complex medical pictures
B. the second - generation of Internet has not become popular yet
C. communication satellites can only deal with short - term needs
D. there is not enough equipment for spreading the medical care
E
So long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning , they will continue to undertake to do for children that which only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that“ reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible”.
Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also public activity. It can be seen and observed.
Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private ,for learning is an occupation of the mind ,and that process is not open to public scrutiny.
If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable ,what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest（探索）for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. “Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children. ”
When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher fulfil them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of leaning to read by reading.
71．The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that ________.
A. it is one of the most difficult school courses
B. students spend endless hours in reading
C. reading tasks are assigned with little guidance
D. too much time is spent in teaching about reading
72．The teaching of reading will be successful if ________.
A. teachers can improve conditions at school for the students
B. teachers can enable students to develop their own way of reading
C. teachers can devise the most effcient system for reading
D. teachers can make their teaching activities observable
73．The underlined word“ scrutiny” most probably means“________”.
A. inquiry B. observation
C. control D. suspicion
74．According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a difficult task when ________.
A. children become highly motivated
B. teacher and learner roles are interchangeable
C. teaching helps children in the search for knowledge
D. reading enriches children’s experience
75．The main idea of the passage is that ________.
A. teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to read
B. teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possible
C. reading ability is something acquired rather than taught
D. reading is more complicated that generally believed

W: Didn’t you see the note I left to you with the money?
M: Note? What note? I don't see any note.
W: Really? It’s very strange. I left the money with a note saying I wanted you to go to the post office and get some envelopes and stamps for me. I also put the ink bottle on them in case they might not draw your attention.
M: I see now. Why can’t you go and get them yourself? The post office is only about 30 minutes’ walk from here. We often walk there after supper.
W: Of course I know how far it is from our school. I can’t go there myself because I’m very busy doing some chemical experiments in the lab. And what’s more, I have to prepare for my English exam. You know I failed in the last one. If I can’t pass this time, a hard time will be waiting for me.
Text 10
Tom was a little boy from a town and he would spend the holiday on a farm. He had never been to a farm before, and this was the first time in his life that he had seen such animals as goats and sheep, pigs and cows. The first morning he got up almost before daylight to watch the farmer milk the cows. Then he wanted to help feed the other animals. The farmer gave him a lamb and told Tom he must take great care of it, as its mother had died. Very soon the lamb would follow Tom all over the farm.
Tom also learnt to feed chickens and collect the eggs. He liked to look after the pigs, too. Everyday he enjoyed himself very much with the animals. At last the day came when he had to go back home. That was a very sad day for him, as he felt sorry to say goodbye to all the animals on the farm.
第二部分：英语知识运用
21．D 提示：by weight意为“论重量，以斤两计”。by the dozen意为“论打计”。
22．D 提示：be used to（sb. ’s）doing sth.习惯于（某人）做某事。
23．C 提示：keep on意为“继续”。keep off意为“使离开”。keep up意为“保持，维持”。try to do sth意为“努力做某事”；try doing sth.意为“试着做某事（看行不行）”。
24．C 提示：whether引导名词性从句时，意为“是否”。若其引导状语从句，意为“不论是否……”。
25．B 提示：worth后接一个宾语从句。其引导词既用作worth的宾语，又充当宾语从句的主语。
26．B 提示：此题为倒装句。
27．D 提示：no less意为“还是，仍旧”，相当于none the less.
28．C 提示：those who...意为“……的人”，由此可排除A项。句中出现了all the pupils，由此可知题意为“除去……的学生”，故D项排除。ones表泛指，the ones表特指。
29．B 提示：先行词the reason在定语从句he gave中用作宾语，故排除A，C，D三项。
30．A 提示：“名词＋as＋主语＋be”是让步状语从句的一种表达式。其中的名词前不可带冠词。
31．C 提示：声音voice能体现人的情感。satisfied意为“感到满意”，符合题意。satisfying意为“令人感到满意”，多说明某物或某事。
32．B 提示：no＋比较级＋than…意为“与……一样不……”，表示否定。not＋比较级＋than…意为“与……不相上下”，表示肯定。
33．C 提示：答语谈的是过去的事情，表示对听者过去无礼的原谅。由引语境可排除A，B，D项。“do／does／did＋动词原形”是一般式谓语动词的强调结构。
34．D 提示：anything but意为“绝不，一点也不”，相当于not（...）at a11.not a little意为“非常，许多”。
35．D 提示：where引出地点状语从句。succeed是不及物动词，不可接宾语。
36．B 提示：剧目成功，以致连续上演好几年，这对可怜的演员来说可倒霉了。因为下文说他们必须夜夜重复同样的台词，故unfortunate（不幸的，倒霉的）为最佳答案。
37．A 提示：重复同一台词是令人厌烦的。
38．C 提示：expect意为“期待，认为”。人们认为演员一定要把台词背得烂熟。 39．B 提示：人们认为演员绝对不会结巴的。
40．B 提示：指代前面所说的情况。
41．A 提示：high意为“高的”。highly意为“高度地，极为”。
42．D 提示：此处先行词为人，故要用who引导定语从句。
43．B 提示：尽管那个贵族每场戏都得念一遍那些信，但他还是坚持要求将信的全文写在信纸上。even though引导让步状语从句，比though语气更强。
44．B 提示：在下文第三段有暗示。
45．C 提示：play a joke on sb意为“戏弄某人”。
46．D 提示：熟记信的内容。
47．A 提示：appeared意为“出现，露面”，此处指上场。
48．B 提示：cell意为“牢房”，在上文有暗示。
49．D 提示：in full意为“全文”，这在第二段已有暗示。
50．C 提示：狱卒热切地观察着，急于想了解他的同事是否熟记了台词。
51．B 提示：“光线太暗”这是贵族委婉而又聪明的托辞，因为他记不住台词。
52．D 提示：分词短语作状语，表示时间。当狱卒发现自己连一个字也记不得时，也找了个借口。
53．A 提示：下文：“with a pair of glasses”作了暗示。
54．D 提示：“much to one’s＋表示感情的名词”结构，有“给某人带来很大的……”的意思，此处狱卒的表现使贵族感到可笑。
55．A 提示：the usual copy平时使用的那封信。
第三部分：阅读理解
56．B 提示：21（受伤人）-13（送医院的伤者）＝8（没有送医院的伤者）。
57．C 提示：由第三段句子“The ear-splitting blast was beard around 12︰50 p. m. said a local newspaper，citing winesses.”可知答案。
58．B 提示：对还没有侦察的案件，公安机关通常不会在公众面前进行推测。
59．D 提示：文章开头的句子已点题了。
60．C 提示：本文主要是告诉人们如何使用电话卡及解除某些有关电话卡的疑虑。
最后一句：Get a phonecard yourself and try it out，or get a bigger wallet.点出本文分明是一则广告。
61．C 提示：第一、第二部分是介绍如何使用电话卡和去哪儿买电话卡，只有第三部分从反面反映电话卡的好处。
62．B 提示：可根据常识及文中提供信息排出使用电话卡的顺序。
63．A 提示：protest m抗议，异议，gratitude m感激，obedience顺从，explanation n.解释。
64．B 提示：接受不公平的待遇。
65．C 提示：保护她的权力。
66．D 提示：sympathy n.同情，exploit v.开发。
67．D 提示：greedy，ill-tempered，strict文中均未表现出。
68．A 提示：从全文意思可知。
69．D 提示：从第五段“With the falling price of broadband communications”可知。
70．D 提示：从第四段第二句“Bandwidth is the limiting factor for sending complex medical pictures…”可知。
71．D 提示：本文是一篇议论文，在对传统的阅读教学方式进行批判的同时，论述了作者自己阅读的教学观：阅读的教与学是两个完全不同的过程。依据文章第1段第3行“It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading..”（教学生如何阅读当然不是带着学生花费大量的时间去一点一点地读）。可以看出，作者认为现在教阅读的时间太多了，这当然是因为教而不教法。所以选项D正确。
72．B 提示：依据文章第2段第2行开始的句子：“The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read”（教学的任务是为学生能够找出自己最有效的自学阅读的方法创造条件和氛围），B项符合上述意思，为正确答案。
73．B 提示：该题为猜测词义。inquiry“询问”。observation“观察”。control“控制”。suspicion“怀疑”。该词出现在第3段最后一句“process is not open to public scrutiny”，考生可从该句的上文作出推测。最明显的提示出现在第2段最后一句“Teaching is also a public activity；it can be seen and observed”所以，scrutiny最可能的词义应该是observation，故B项正确。
74．A 提示：依据文章第4段、第5段所提供的信息，特别是第5段第3行“Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading”（当教师们创造了一种环境，使孩子们有机会自己通过阅读解决所遇到的问题时，学习阅读就变得容易多了），可以看出A项与之最为相近。
75．C 提示：依据文章第1段第4行“reading cannot be taught directly and…”说明阅读能力并不是通过教师教就能掌握的。教师应做的是给学生创造一个好的环境和条件，激发学生阅读的渴望，培养出良好的阅读习惯、方法，只有这样，才能掌握阅读技能，提高阅读水平。所以选项C正确。其他选项与文章讨论的范围不符。
第四部分：写作
76．warm-heart→warm-hearted. 提示：“形容词＋名词＋ed”构成复合形容词。
77．him∧→if／whether． 提示：if／whether意为“是否”，在此引导宾语从句。
78．and→but. 提示：表转折应使用but.
79．√
80．different→same. 提示：由keep saying可推知。
81．more→much或去掉more. 提示：lower是low的比较级，所以不可再用more.“much＋比较级”意为“…的多”。
82．death→dead. 提示：find him dead意为“发现他死了”。
83．∧sounds→the. 提示：sounds后接定语从句，表特指应带定冠词the.
84．1isten→1istening. 提示：介词after后接动词-ing形式作宾语。时。
85．repeats→repeated. 提示：讲述过去的情况应使用过去
书面表达
A possible version:
What will life be like without animals
Animals are close friends of human beings. Their existence, especially the existence of rare animals makes the whole world lively and colorful. Unfortunately, we heard such news recently that rare animals, even kept in the zoo, couldn't escape being hurt and killed, at which we can feel nothing but shocked. The reason why it happened is that some people lack understanding about these animals and caring for them.
Therefore, we should study and publicize the information about rare animals, and keep it in mind that protecting animals is the duty of everyone. At the same time, we should take active and effective measures. After all, protecting animals is protecting ourselves. （115 words）
