You really can’t love somebody to death. I’ve known people to die from no love, but I’ve never known anyone to be loved to death. We just can’t love one another enough more.‎ A heart-warming story tells of a woman who finally decided to ask her boss for a raise in salary. All day she felt nervous and apprehensive. Later in the afternoon she summoned the courage to approach her employer. To her delight, the boss agreed to a raise. The woman arrived home that evening to a beautiful table set with their best dishes. Candles were softly glowing. Her husband had come home early and prepared a festive meal. She wondered if someone from the office had tipped him off, or did he just somehow know that she would not get turned down? She found him in the kitchen and told him the good news. They embraced and kissed, then sat down to the wonderful meal. Next to her plate the woman found a beautifully lettered note. It read: “Congratulations, darling! I knew you’d get the raise! These things will tell you how much I love you.” Following the supper, her husband went into the kitchen to clean up. She noticed that a second card had fallen from his pocket. Picking it off the floor, she read: “Don’t worry about not getting the raise! You deserve it anyway! These things will tell you how much I love you.”‎ Someone has said that the measure of love is when you love without measure. What this man feels for his wife is total acceptance and love, whether she succeeds or fails. His love celebrates her victories and soothes her wounds. He stands with her, no matter what life throws in their direction.‎ ‎25. When the woman saw all her husband had prepared, what was the first feeling of her?‎ A. Confusion. B. Sweetness. C. Excitement. D. Happiness.‎ ‎26. What is the meaning of the underlined part “tipped him off”?‎ A. Scolded him. B. Informed him. C. Threatened him. D. Comforted him.‎ ‎27. What can we know about the author’s husband from the second paragraph?‎ A. He likes cooking. B. He often writes to his wife.‎ C. He is a careful and clever man. D. He had already known the result.‎ C Many details in life appear to be neglected by us in a hurry urban life. Some think that our passion has been ironed out by tough life. Some people come to the sensation that they have ‎ already been numbed (麻木) by the fast-paced life Maybe all these contribute a little to the present situation, or maybe none. Actually, in the modem city, what we lack more and more desperately is a heart of gratefulness.‎ Once a time, I began to lose my direction and become numb without too much affection in this material-flooding world. I was not sure whether the reason why I locked tightly my heart was to fear loneliness or to protect myself. Less and less emotion and smile, so someone said that I was awfully icy to others. Not until one day when I was stricken by a sense of gratitude did I totally change myself. Gratefulness touches deeply the tenderness of my heart. It is like the soft melody of “kiss the rain”, so tender, so emotional and so fascinating, leaving me out of all the worldly troubles.‎ Yes, life needs gratefulness. Gratefulness is not only confined to love, but also to friend-ship, family bonds, mutual cherishing as well as constant missing each other. A tiny gratefulness can give us a lasting positive mood, which requires our consciousness and gratefulness. Then with a heart of gratefulness, everything turns out to be beautiful.‎ Yes, God is fair to anyone. When he closes one of your doors, he will open another for you. Even though I just have a window, I can still embrace sunshine, fresh air, beautiful landscapes. Though the eyesight might be somewhat narrow, it is my world after all.‎ Every drop in life and every silk of gratefulness direct me to my real heart and mind.‎ ‎28. According to the author in the paragraph 1, the reason why many details are neglected is that .‎ A. we live a hurry urban life ‎ B. we lack a heart of gratefulness C. our passion has b«en ironed out D. we have been numbed by the fast-paced life ‎29. What’s the possible reason why the author lost his direction and became numb?‎ A. He had no interest in others.‎ B. His life was filled with fears.‎ C. He feared loneliness or needed self-protect ion.‎ D. He had too much affection in this material-flooding world.‎ ‎30. What is it that moved and changed the author?‎ A. Smile. B. Melody. C. Friendship. D. Gratefulness.‎ ‎31. What can we learn about gratefulness according to the third paragraph?‎ A. It requires consciousness.‎ B. It should be cherished.‎ C. It makes the world full of sunshine.‎ D. It contains love, friendship and family bonds.‎ D As Canadians approach the ends of their career, they start to wonder how much they need to save to maintain their standard of living in retirement. This is not an easy question as many variables are unknown. The first is life expectancy.‎ Life expectancy is one of the most misunderstood aspects of retirement income planning— yet, it is one of the most important factors. Most people assume that life expectancy is the same as lifespan. This is not correct. Instead t life expectancy is a medium number of years—such that 50 percent of a particular age group will die before this number of years, and the other 50 percent will die after this period How you save for retirement is also important. What you care about in retirement is how much income you have after tax and after inflation. You want to know what lifestyle you can maintain in retirement.‎ If you saved for retirement only using registered retirement savings plan (RRSP), you will need a larger account balance, as every dollar that you redeem from an RRSP is fully taxable while funds withdrawn from a tax-free savings account (TFSA) are free of tax. And if you were lucky enough to save funds outside these structures (non-registered investments, real estate, bank accounts and so on), only the earnings on these funds are taxable.‎ Government pension rights arc important in retirement income planning. Old Age Security (OAS) offers up to $ 569 a month and the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) gives a maximum of $ 1,065 a month. The average right for new beneficiaries is $640 a month.‎ But let’s look at this from another point of view. When you retire, one of the greatest risks that you have is running out of money. If you can maintain your lifestyle on your personal investment, then delaying the start of your CPP pension can be viewed as a version of longevity insurance.‎ ‎32. Why is it difficult to solve the question mentioned in paragraph 1?‎ A. Because of people’s mind. B. Because of living standard.‎ C. Because of people’s lifestyle. D. Because of changeable factors.‎ ‎33. Which of the following factors is the most important on saving for retirement?‎ A. Life expectancy. B. The way to save.‎ C. Personal investment. D. Government pension rights.‎ ‎34. How do people avoid risks after retirement according to the text?‎ A. Keeping account balanced.‎ B. Making a spending planning.‎ C. Saving funds outside the mentioned structures.‎ D. Maintaining personal investment and delaying CPP.‎ ‎35. What might be the best title for the passage?‎ A. Canadians’ Pension Plan B. Saving For Retirement C. Extending Life Expectancy D. Managing Personal Account 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Cycling for Weight Loss Like many aspects of health and fitness, weight loss is actually a combination of several factors. Any weight loss method really should influence all of these elements. 36 ‎ Calorie Bum ‎37 Depending on your speed, fitness level, landscape, and type of equipment, a 30- minute ride could bum about 320 calories.‎ When losing weight, if you burn more calories than you eat, weight loss will result. Your body stores any calories you eat that you don’t immediately need as body fat. Generally, one pound of body fat contains about 3,500 calories. 38 To lose weight at a slow, steady pace, you need to bum about 500 more calories than you eat daily.‎ Building Muscle In truth, however, the real weight loss power of cycling doesn’t come from this initial caloric loss. In fact, compared to the 400-and-something calories that a comparable 30-minute run ‎ could burn, cycling leaves quite a bit to be desired. 39‎ Because cycling challenges your muscles to handle a considerable amount of resistance repeatedly-something running does not do—so that ride will help you build more muscle fibers in your legs. 40 Therefore, developing your muscles via cycling will help you lose more weight in the long-term.‎ A. Bicycling can help you burn calories.‎ B. Cycling just happens to meet the factors perfectly.‎ C. What makes cycling such an effective weight loss tool?‎ D. Therefore,to lose one pound, you’re going to need to burn 3,500 calories.‎ E. But cycling has one obvious advantage over running: muscular development.‎ F. Combining bicycling with a calorie-controlled diet can help you reach your goal G. It’s reported that each pound of muscle increases your daily caloric burn by about 6 to 10 calories.‎ 第三部分语言知识运用(共两节,满分45分)‎ 第一节完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)‎ 阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ Yesterday after school I took my boys through the drive thru (汽车餐厅)at McDonald’s.

Then they cut faces in the pumpkins and put a burning candle inside. It looks as if there were a person looking out of the pumpkin! These lights are called jack-o’-lanterns, which means “Jack of the lantern”.‎ The children also put on strange masks and frightening clothes every Halloween. Some children paint their faces to look like monsters. Then they carry boxes or bags from house to house Every time they come to a new house, they say, “Trick or treat! Money or eat!” The ‎ grown-ups put treat-money or candy in their bags. Not only children, but most grown-ups also love Halloween and Halloween parties because on this day, they can dis-guise themselves as ghost as their imaginations will lead them. This brings them the satisfaction of being young. ‎
