She’d 36 down, push my long hair out of the way, and then kiss my forehead. I don’t remember when it first started making me angry—the ‎ ‎37 that her hands pushed my hair. Finally, one night, I shouted at her, “Don’t do that any more—your hands are too 38 !”She didn’t say anything in 39 . But never again did my mother close out my day with that familiar expression of her love. Lying awake long afterward, my words 40 me, but I didn’t tell her I was sorry.‎ Well, years have passed. Mom is in her mid-seventies, and her hands I once thought to be so rough are 41 doing things for my family and me.

Mom no longer has Dad. And on special days, I have got into the habit of drawing the next door to 43 the night with her. So it was late one Thanksgiving Eve, as I fell into sleep in the bedroom, a familiar hand hesitantly run 44 my face to brush the hair from my forehead. Then a kiss,ever so gently, 45 my brow (额头). ever so gently. Catching Mom’s hand in mine, I blurted out(脱口而出) how 46 I was for that night. I thought she’d remember it as I did. 47 Mom didn’t know what I was talking about. She had forgotten it and forgiven me long ago. That night, I fell asleep with a new appreciation for my gentle mother and her caring hands. And the guilt I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found.‎ ‎36.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.‎ A The terrible college entrance exam is not only a big challenge (挑战) for Chinese high school students, but also a very important exam in the lives of South Korean students. ‎ ‎ Although the long, cold winter has already started in South Korea, the annual(一年一度的) national exams have made the atmosphere very heated. ‎ ‎ More than 675,000 South Korean high school graduates took the college entrance exam last Wednesday. They usually take exams in Korean, maths, sociology ‎ ‎(社会学),history and foreign languages. ‎ ‎ Officially there is one college place for every 1. 33 students. But because all the students want to go to the top universities in the country, the competition can reach one place for 10 students. The students want to attend these colleges for both their famous names and better job opportunities. ‎ ‎ Because students face fierce competition, they have to study very hard to realize their dreams. Park Seung said he and his classmates often go to school before 7:30 a. m. After school has finished at 6:30 p.m., most of them go to the library to continue their study instead of returning home. Since many libraries in South Korea are open 24 hours a day, they often stay long into the night. Many of the Senior3 students only sleep for three to four hours a day. “I feel a lot of pressure,but I have to study very hard in order to make my dream come true. This is my lifetime goal and it will be a turning point in my life ,which could decide my future,” Park said. ‎ ‎ The exam day is a very serious day for the whole of South Korea. Vehicles are not allowed within a 200-metre radius (范围) of all the test sites to make sure the students have quiet surroundings. Tooting (吹奏) of horns is forbidden, even airplanes are ordered to avoid landing and take-off near the test sites during listening comprehension test hours. ‎ ‎ Students are told their scores in December before they apply for college. This is followed by face-to-face oral tests. There are public and private universities in South Korea. Many private universities are well-known, but their fees can be 18,000 yuan each term. This has made a lot of students think again.‎ ‎65.

The contest is one of the most respected beauty contests in the world. It was copied by the United Nations University (an international university belonging to the United Nations) in 1986.‎ ‎ Stick to studying ‎ LI Yining, an economics professor at Peking University, said that he would not encourage students to try their luck in the stock market (股市). “They should stress study,” Li said, in his speech at Beijing Foreign Studies University. When asked, the professor said he expected house prices in Beijing to continue to rise. Li thinks the government should provide more affordable houses for low-level income people.‎ ‎ Campus cinema ‎ Students at over 100 universities will have a digital cinema on campus after the National Day holiday. The 21st Century Digital Film on Campus Project was launched at the end of September. The ticket will cost 3-8 yuan, rather than 30-40 yuan at cinemas in town. Students often download movies online or watch DVDs.‎ ‎ Now they can enjoy original films in the digital cinema. The digital cinema will show a variety of films other than Hollywood blockbusters (好莱坞大片).‎ ‎ Getting practical ‎ All 12,000 graduates from vocational school in Shanxi Province have landed a job, according to the provincial government. In the past five years, it is estimated that over 95 percent of the professional school graduates have found jobs. However, the number for university graduates is 70 percent.

No men competed in the World University Students Beauty Contest before this year. ‎ C The “standard of living” of any country means the average person’s share of the goods and services which the country produces. A country’s standard of living, therefore, depends first and foremost on its capacity to produce wealth. “Wealth” in this sense is not money, for we do not live on money but on things that money can buy: “goods” such as food and clothing, and “services” such as transport and entertainment.‎ A country’s capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors, most of which have an effect on one another. Wealth depends to a great extent upon a country’s natural resources, such as coal, gold, and other minerals, water supply and so on. Some regions of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals, and have a fertile soil and a favorable climate; other regions possess perhaps only one of these things, and some regions possess none of them. The USA is one of the wealthiest regions of the world because she has vast natural resources within her borders, her soil is fertile, and her climate is varied. The Sahara Desert, on the other hand, is one of the least wealthy.‎ Next to natural resources comes the ability to turn them to use. China is perhaps as well off as the USA in natural resources, but suffered for many years from civil and external wars, and for this and other reasons was unable to develop her resources. Sound and stable political conditions, and freedom from foreign invasion, enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily, and to produce more wealth than another country equally well served by nature but less well ordered. Another important factor is the technical efficiency of a country’s people. Old countries that have, through many centuries, trained up numerous skilled craftsmen and technicians are better placed to produce wealth than countries whose workers are largely unskilled. Wealth also produces wealth. As a country becomes ‎ wealthier, its people have a large margin(富余)for saving, and can put their savings into factories and machines which will help workers to turn out more goods in their working day.‎ ‎66. What is the “standard of living”?‎ A. Wealth and money. B. A country capacity to produce wealth.‎ C. Good food, clothing, transport and entertainment.‎ D. The average share of the goods and services for people.‎ ‎67. A country’s wealth depends upon ______. ‎ A. its money  B. its standard of living C. its ability to provide goods and services D. its ability to provide transport and entertainment ‎68. The main idea of the second paragraph is that______.‎ A. the Sahara Desert is a very poor region ‎ B. a country’s wealth depends on many factors C. the USA is one of the wealthiest countries in the world D. natural resources are an important factor in the wealth or poverty of a country 69. What does the underlined word “her” in Paragraph 3 refer to?‎ A. The Sahara Desert. B. An old country.  C. China. D. The USA. ‎ ‎70. According to the last paragraph, which of the following is Not True?‎ A. Wealth can produce wealth.‎ B. We should suffer from civil and external wars. ‎ C. We should have more skilled people to use the natural resources.‎ D. We should have sound and stable politics and be free from foreign invasion.‎ Ⅳ Writing(45 marks)‎ Section A (10分)‎ Directions: ‎ Read the following passage and fill in the chart with suitable words or phrases according to the passage. (Notice: Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each blank)‎ ‎ Laughter is a key component of a happy life, and it has powerful physical and mental benefits. No matter what you’re facing, you can learn to laugh and benefit from it. ‎ One of the many benefits of laughter and a sense of humor is that they protect you against the negatives of life. Researches show that people who use humor to fight stress feel less lonely and more positive about themselves. ‎ Although we can’t say that a certain number of laughs every day will keep the doctor away, studies show that people who laugh a lot tend to be in good health. And laughter is one of the most commonly used therapies (疗法) among cancer patients.‎ Laughter could be healthy for your heart, too. Some research shows that when you laugh, there is an increase in oxygen-rich blood flow in your body, possibly due to the release of endorphins (内啡肽), which create a chemical rush that fights negative feelings and stress. Activities that increase endorphins include a good workout and listening to music you love.‎ Love the benefits of laughter but don’t feel like laughing? Sometimes you have to make an effort to laugh. If you’re facing tough times, it may help to learn techniques to bring the benefits of laughter into your life. You can try the old recommendations: ‎ Read a funny book, or watch a movie that is funny. ‎ Spend time with an amusing friend. ‎ Look on the light side: Go to places that help you remember good times that have made you laugh in the past. ‎ Or you can join the “laughter movement” to learn about the benefits of laughter while fighting stress.‎ Title: The benefits of 71 .______‎ Benefits ‎◆Mental benefits ‎ 72.______ you against the negatives of your life ‎ ‎ Making you feel less lonely and more 73. ______ about yourself ‎◆ 74.______benefits ‎ Helping to lead a healthy life ‎ Being commonly used to treat 75. ______ ‎ ‎ 76. ______ the oxygen-rich blood flow in your body Recommendations to bring laughter 77.______‎ ‎ Read a funny book, or watch 78._______.‎ ‎ Spend time with 79.______.‎ ‎ Look on the 80. ______ — go to places that have made you laugh ‎ ‎ Join the “laughter movement” while fighting stress ‎ Conclusion.‎ Laughter is a key component of a happy life, and it has powerful benefits.‎ Section B (10 marks)‎ Directions: Read the following passage, Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.‎ I have a friend named John Roberts who owns a horse ranch (牧马场)in San Ysidro.  The last time I was there he shared a story with me. “It is a story about a young man who was the son of an itinerant horse trainer. When he was a senior,he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.”‎ That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings,the stables and the track.  ‎ ‎“The next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that read, ‘See me after class.’”‎ ‎  “The boy went to see the teacher after class and asked, ‘Why did I receive an F?’”‎ ‎  “The teacher said, ‘This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from an itinerant family. You have no resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for the original breeding stock and later you’ll have to pay large stud fees. There‘s no ‎ way you could ever do it.’ Then the teacher added, ‘If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.’”‎ ‎  “The boy went home and asked his father what he should do. His father said, ‘Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.’”‎ ‎  “Finally,after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all. He stated, ‘You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.‘”‎ ‎  John continued, “I tell you this story because you are sitting in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper framed over the fireplace.” He added, “If I had changed my paper at that time, maybe we would not have the chance to be here talking about the dreams .”‎ ‎81. What was the boy’s goal described in his seven-page paper? (No more than 6 words)‎ ‎82. Why did the teacher give him a F”? (No more than 14 words)‎ ‎83. How did John’s father respond to his son’s puzzlement? (No more than10 words)‎ ‎84. What can we learn from the article?
