I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in severe weather. If I grumbled, he’d say in his loudest father-voice, “That’s what your legs are for!”‎ The walk didn’t bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less valued because my father didn’t seem concerned about my safety. But that feeling was changed one spring evening.‎ It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I was dying for home. When the bus reached the stop, I stepped off the bus and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.‎ A row of hedges(树篱) edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge toward the house. Upon closer observation, I realized it was the top of my father’s head. Then I knew, each time I came home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the tears. He did care, after all.‎ On later visits, that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch its secret movement above the greenery. Upon arriving home, I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair. “So! My son, it’s you!” he’d say with pretended surprise on his face.‎ I replied, “Yes, Dad, it’s me. I’m home.”‎ ‎14．What does the underlined word “grumbled” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?‎ A．Accepted happily. B．Complained unhappily.‎ C．Agreed willingly. D．Explained clearly.‎ ‎15．What made the author feel upset?‎ A．The tiredness after long hours in labs.‎ B．The difficulty of walking on the mountain road.‎ C．The feeling of being less valued.‎ D．The fear of riding the bus home.‎ ‎16．Why did the author’s father watch behind the hedge?‎ A．Because he wanted to help his son build up courage.‎ B．Because he was concerned about his son’s safety.‎ C．Because he didn’t want to meet his son in the doorway.‎ D．Because he was worried his son was not old enough.‎ ‎17．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?‎ A．Terrible Journey Home B．My College Life C．My Father’s Secret D．Riding Bus Alone C It has always been thought that alcohol causes people to put on weight because it contains a lot of sugar, but new research suggests a glass a day cold form part of a diet. Looking at past studies they found that, while heavy drinkers do put on weight; those who drink in moderation can actually lose weight.‎ A spokesman for the research team at Navarro University in Spain says, ＂Light to moderate alcohol intake, especially of wine, may be more likely to protect against, rather than promote, weight gain.＂The International Scientific Forum on Alcohol Research reviewed the findings and agreed with most of the conclusions, particularly that data do not clearly indicate if moderate drinking increases weight.‎ Boston University’s Dr. Harvey Finkel found that the biologic mechanisms(生物学机制) relating alcohol to changes in body weight are not properly understood. His team pointed out the strong protective effects of moderate drinking on the risk of getting conditions like diabetes(‎ 糖尿病), which relate to increasing obesity. Some studies suggest that even very obese people may be at lower risk of diabetes if they are moderate drinkers.‎ The group says alcohol provides calories that are quickly absorbed into the body and are not stored in fat, and that this process could explain the differences in its effects from those of other foods. They agree that future research should be directed towards assessing the roles of different types of alcoholic drinks, taking into consideration drinking patterns and including the past tendency of participants to gain weight.‎ For now there is little evidence that consuming small to moderate amounts of alcohol on a regular basis increases one’s risk of becoming obese. What’s more, a study three years ago suggested that resveratrol(白藜芦醇), a compound present in grapes and red wine destroys fat cells.‎ ‎18．The passage is mainly for those___________.‎ A．who produce wine B．who have a drinking habit C．who go on a diet D．who are eager to sell alcohol ‎19．The underlined phrase “in moderation” in the first paragraph means __________.‎ A．excitedly B．carefully C．frequently D．properly ‎20．What can we learn from the passage?‎ A．Current data clearly show that moderate drinking increases weight.‎ B．Resveratrol is proved to increase the risk of becoming fat.‎ C．The research found moderate drinking has a strong protective effect.‎ D．The specific roles of different types of alcoholic drinks are very clear.‎ ‎21．What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?‎ A．How to do some easy experiments.‎ B．How to reduce the calories contained in wine.‎ C．How to prove the finding mentioned above.‎ D．How to make wine in a healthy way.‎ D After the examination, the doctor told my parents my sight would get worse and that I would ‎ lose my sight finally. On the way home from hospital, no one said a word. One day, would I only imagine the scenery beyond the glass rather than see it?‎ That September, I entered middle school. Most nights I had homework that included an armful of books to read. To keep up with other children, I took great trouble to finish the task. With my nose a couple of inches from the page, I was tired easily. What’s worse, after I had read several pages on my own, the words slipped off the page into inky pools.‎ However, then I did not have audio books and electronic devices like kids do now. Instead, Mom volunteered to read out loud. Mom worked part time, cleaned the house, cooked and spent time with Grandma. In spite of being so busy, she showed up in my room like clockwork. She put on her reading glasses. Mom always thought those glasses made her look old. To me, she looked like a teacher.‎ In my room, Mom’s voice compared with the ticking of the clock. Being forced to focus on listening, I found a way to keep my marks up and compete with the other kids. When the teacher asked a question, I raised my hand with confidence. Teachers praised me for having a good memory. Reading removed my fear for my failing sight, reading also made me curious about other people’s challenges and how they managed. Though I could not use my eyes to fix on each passage, my mind lit up with every new book.‎ True to what the doctor said, the worst came, but thanks to Mom, my sense of hearing now allows me to “see”. This was the most precious gift from a mother to her child.‎ ‎22．The author and his parents keep silent on their way home from hospital because .‎ A．what the doctor said was worrying B．the author failed in the exam C．they were exhausted D．they focused on the scenery along the road ‎23．The author manage to raise his marks in learning by .‎ A．being confident B．getting help from his teacher C．listening attentively D．competing with his classmates ‎24．What can be inferred from the passage?‎ A．The author’s eyes recovered finally. ‎ B．Reading made the author more sensitive.‎ C．The author’s mother quit her job to look after him. ‎ D．Reading helped the author a lot both academically and mentally.‎ ‎25．Which of the following could be the title of the text?‎ A．My eyesight trouble B．An unforgettable experience C．My good hearing D．A precious gift from mother.‎ 三、七选五（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的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Secret codes(密码)keep messages private. Banks, companies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer.‎ People have used secret codes for thousands of years. 　 26 　Code breaking never lags(落后)far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography. ‎ There are three main types of cryptography. 27 For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” spell out the hidden message“ Meet me.” ‎ ‎　 28 　You might represent each letter with a number, for example. Let’s number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter, the message “Meet me” would read“13 5 5 20 13 5.” ‎ A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book.　 29 　For example, “bridge” might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me”. The message “Bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me.”　 30 　However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently. ‎ A. It is very hard to break a code without the code book.‎ B. In any language, some letters are used more than others.‎ C. Only people who know the keyword can read the message.‎ D. As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them.‎ E. You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out.‎ F. With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words.‎ G. Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet.‎ 四、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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ The world always makes way for the dreamer When I was nine years old, I lived in a small town. I found an ad for selling greeting cards in the back of a children’s magazine. I thought to myself I could do this, so I begged my mother to let me send for the kit (卡片盒). Two weeks later when the kit arrived, I took the cards and ran out of the house. Three hours later, I returned home with no 31 and a pocket full of money. A 32 was born.‎ When I was twelve years old, my father took me to 33 Zig Ziegler. I remember listening to Mr. Ziegler who raised everyone’s 34 up to the ceiling.

I 42 that I didn’t need an angel’s help to become a great speaker.‎ Having made that decision, I was immediately 43 . My husband was laid off from his job just one week after I 44 my job. We had recently bought a new house and needed both 45 to pay the monthly mortgage (按揭贷款). I even planned to turn back to my 46 company, knowing they wanted me to stay but I was 47 that if I went back, I would never leave. I decided I still wanted to 48 forward rather than end up with a mouth full of “if onlys” later on. A motivational speaker was born.‎ When I firmly 49 my dream, the miracles really began to happen. In a short period my husband found a better job. And I was able to get a lot of 50 engagements. I discovered the unbelievable power of dreams.‎ ‎31．A．cover B．tool C．card D．magazine ‎32．A．salesperson B．advertiser C．designer D．collector ‎33．A．help B．see C．hug D．encourage ‎34．A．height B．senses C．voice D．spirits ‎35．A．concept B．memory C．dream D．chance ‎36．A．controlling B．entertaining C．challenging D．motivating ‎37．A．leave B．gain C．pursue D．question ‎38．A．prevented B．ruined C．changed D．studied ‎39．A．If B．Although C．Unless D．Before ‎40．A．give up B．look into C．carry out D．write down ‎41．A．never B．seldom C．always D．sometimes ‎42．A．argued B．realized C．expected D．imagined ‎43．A．improved B．criticized C．tested D．accepted ‎44．A．knew B．quit C．offered D．created ‎45．A．ideas B．confidence C．energy D．incomes ‎46．A．ideal B．former C．official D．secure ‎47．A．optimistic B．certain C．sensitive D．generous ‎48．A．touch B．sit C．manage D．move ‎49．A．stuck to B．adjusted to C．returned to D．objected to ‎50．A．selling B．operating C．speaking D．publishing 五、语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）‎ 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。‎ If this 13-year-old American boy succeeds in his effort 51 (climb) Mount Everest, he has modest ambitions — pick a small piece of rock from the top of the world as a memento (纪念品) and wear it in a necklace.‎ ‎"I will not sell it or give it to anyone.
