M：Jane，are you coming to the birthday party at my house?
W：Yes，I’d like to，but I don’t know how I can get there.
M：Well，I’ll come to pick you up in my car at six on Saturday.
W：OK.That’s fine with me.
Text 6
M：Well，we’ll certainly stay here again next time when we’re passing through.
W：Good！Do let us know in advance.I will try to get you the same room.
M：That would be lovely.It may be quite soon in fact.
W：Oh，how is that?
M：Well，we’ll drive into the Sough Bay in the next couple of days.And we may come back this week.
W：Do give us a ring if you decide to.I hope you have a pleasant trip.

M：Mom，it’s Richard.How are you?
W：Oh.Richard.Is everything all right with you?
M：Yes，yes，fine.Mom.I was wondering...do you think you could lend me some money till the end of the month?
W：Oh，Richard.Don’t tell me that you are buying another expensive computer.You really must learn to plan your money properly.
M：Look，Mom，if you can help me out this time，I promise I will be more careful in future.

W：Aha.You are going to make a millionaire of yourself sooner or later with all those cans.
M：You bet I will.Well，that’s not the point.The point is we separate reusable things from other rubbish.We have to pay the dustman for dealing with rubbish，but if we sell him these cans and other reusable materials we pay less in a way.

M：Metal，plastic，paper，books and the like.
W：Just as we do back home in the States.

W：That will surely be helpful for a clean environment.

M：Do you have a tough math test coming up？Then listen to some classical piano music just before the test.You might end up with a higher score.Researchers at a university in California conducted an experiment.They asked a group of college students to listen to some piano music by a famous 18th century composer before taking a math test.They were surprised to find that the students’ scores jumped from 8 to 9 points.The music seems to excite nerve activities in the brain，similar to the activity that occurs when a person is figuring out a math problem.However，the scientists warn that before you get too excited about applying this method to your math test，you should remember that brain exciting effects last only 10 or 15 minutes.Would rock music work as well as the piano music do？“No”，the scientists say.In tact，the less complex music might even interfere with the brain’s reasoning ability.

二、英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)
第一节 单项填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)
请从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
21．—Do you feel like________there or shall we take a bus?
—I’d like to walk.But since there isn’t much time left, I’d rather we________a taxi.
A．walking; hire B．to walk; hire
C．to walk; hired D．walking; hired
解析：选D。feel like doing sth.：想要做某事；would rather接从句，从句中应用虚拟语气，即与现在事实相反从句中谓语动词用一般过去式。
22. Salley________Beijing for Shanghai and________there ever since.You can go and pay her a visit on your way to Hang Zhou.
A．has left; worked B．left; worked
C．has left; had worked D．left; has worked
解析：选D。“离开北京到上海”是过去的动作。ever since常与现在完成时连用。
23. ________had the worker who was badly injured in that accident stopped breathing and died________ doctors arrived.
A．Almost; when B．Hardly; when
C．Not; until D．Hardly; before
解析：选B。考查固定句式。hardly...when...相当于no sooner...than...，表示“一……就……”，hardly，no sooner置于句首时要用部分倒装。
24. A new technique________， the yields as a whole increased by about 30 percent.
A．had applied B．having applied
C．to have applied D．having been applied
解析：选D。句意：“由于采用了新工艺，产量总体上增加了百分之三十。”本题考查独立主格结构。a new technique在逻辑上它是非谓语动词apply 的逻辑宾语，而本句的非谓语动词的动作又发生在谓语动词之前，所以应用having been applied。句子的完整形式是：Because a new technique had been applied, the yields as a whole increased by about 30 percent.。
25. ________for the free tickets, I would not have gone to the films so often.
A．If it is not B．Were it not
C．Had it not been D．If they were not
解析：选C。考查虚拟语气的用法。此句是对过去的假设，故从句应用过去完成时，句中省略了if，要倒装。
26．— Oh, life is so boring!
—Please don’t think so.I suppose you’ve come to the point ________ a change is needed.
A．where B．when
C．which D．as
解析：选A。本题易误选B。此处的point意为“特定的情况或地方”，关系副词where引导定语从句修饰point，在句中作状语。
27. I am trying to be the kind of boss that the workers will ________.
A．live up to B．look up to
C．watch out for D．put up with
解析：选B。look up to尊敬；live up to达到；符合；不辜负(他人的期望)；watch out for 当心；put up with容忍。28.—Professor, do you have something________at this moment?
— No, thanks.I’ll call you if any.
A．to be typed B．type
C．typing D．typed
解析：选A。考查不定式作定语，something应是被type，且表示将要执行的一个动作，故用不定式的被动语态。29.—Your mother won ’t like this dress，you know.
—________ I don ’t care what she thinks.
A．How come？ B．So what?
C．So why? D．So how?
解析：选B。——你知道妈妈不喜欢这件衣服。——那又怎么样？我不在乎她怎么想。How come？……是怎么回事；So what? 那又怎么样？
30．The TV play Shoebox 《蜗居》 centered on the lives of “house slaves”，a group of people ________ by high housing prices.
A．affect B．affecting
C．affected D．to be affected
解析：选C。句意：《蜗居》是一部以一群受高额房价影响的人为中心的电视剧。考查过去分词作定语，人是被房价所影响，故C正确；D项是不定式的被动语态，表示将要被……。
31．Now in the country areas，there are many children out of school.I think one of the reasons is ________ their families are ________ poor to afford their school.
A．that；too B．that；so
C．what；too D．what；so
解析：选A。句意：现在，在乡下有很多孩子辍学。我认为原因之一就是他们的家庭太穷而支付不起学费。that在句中引导表语从句，而too...to do sth.表示“太……而不能……”。
32．Mary，we left you in ________ charge of the room，but now it ’s in ________ mess!
A．the；a B．/；a
C．the；/ D．/；the
解析：选B。句意：玛丽，我们让你看管房间，但现在房间却是一团糟。in charge of：某人负责……；be in a mess：乱七八糟。
33．Next to the temple ________ two small rooms ________ the monks can eat and sleep.
A．is；where B．have；which
C．are；in which D．has；which
解析：选C。Next to the temple是介词短语位于句首，其后是一个全倒装句，主语是two small rooms，所以谓语动词用复数且表示存在的“有”；第二句中则是in which引导的定语从句，作地点状语。
34. Not only ________ in cloning animals，but also the scientists produced food from cloned animals.
A．succeeded they B．did they succeed
C．they succeeded D．they did succeed
解析：选B。Not only位于句首时应用部分倒装的形式，B正确。
35．It is time for class.Will you please get the blackboard
________？
A．to clean B．cleaning
C．cleaned D．having cleaned
解析：选C。句意：到了上课时间了，能否把黑板擦一下？过去分词在句中作补语，和宾语之间是被动关系。

42．A.tired B．afraid
C．sure D．kind
解析：选B。从他们把他带到村里精心治疗来看，他们虽觉好奇(毕竟是来自不同国度的人)，但并不“害怕”。be not tired of “不厌倦”和be not sure of “不确信”不合文意。D既不合文意，也不合词的搭配。
43．A.carried B．forced
C．pushed D．pulled
解析：选A。他身负重伤，岛上人又很善良，故不可能“逼”、“推”或“拉”他走。

三、阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
请阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
There was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care.To water his flowers，he used two buckets.One was a shiny and new bucket.The other was a very old and dilapidated one，which had seen many years of service，but was now past its best.
Every morning，the gardener would fill up the two buckets.Then he would carry them along the path，one on each side，to the flowerbeds.The new bucket was very proud of itself.It could carry a full bucket of water without a single drop spilled (溢出)．The old bucket felt very ashamed because of its holes：before it reached the flowerbeds，much water had leaked along the path.
Sometimes the new bucket would say，“See how capable I am！How good it is that the gardener has me to water the flowers every day！I don’t know why he still bothers with you.What a waste of space you are！”
And all that the old bucket could say was，“I know I’m not very useful，but I can only do my best.I’m happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use in me，at least.”
One day，the gardener heard that kind of conversation.After watering the flowers as usual，he said，“You both have done your work very well.Now I am going to carry you back.I want you to look carefully along the path.”
Then the two buckets did so.All along the path，they noticed，on the side where the new bucket was carried，there was just bare (光秃秃的) earth；on the other side where the old bucket was carried，there was a joyous row of wild flowers，leading all the way to the garden.
56．What does the underlined word “dilapidated” probably mean?
A．Dirty. B．Dark.
C．Worn-out. D．Plain-looking.
解析：选C。词义猜测题。由“one...the other...”结构可知“old and dilapidated”对应前面的“shiny and new”。由此可判断dilapidated的意思应与shiny and new相反，即worn-out。
57．What was the old bucket ashamed of?
A．His past. B．His aging.
C．His manner. D．His leaking.
解析：选D。细节理解题。由第二段最后一句“The old bucket felt very ashamed because of its holes...”可知答案为D。
58．The new bucket made conversations with the old one mainly to ________.
A．laugh at the old one
B．take pity on the old one
C．show off its beautiful looks
D．praise the gardener’s kindness
解析：选A。推理判断题。由第三段最后一句“I don’t know why he still bothers with you.What a waste of space you are！”可知答案为A。
59．Why was the old bucket still kept by the gardener?
A．Because it was used to keep a balance.
B．Because it stayed in its best condition.
C．Because it was taken as a treasure.
D．Because it had its own function.
解析：选D。推理判断题。由最后一段中“All along the path...on the other side...leading all the way to the garden.”可推知正确答案为D。
B
One in five U．S.teenagers have some degree of hearing loss，according to researchers who said the problem is growing.“Teenagers really underestimate how much noise they are exposed to.”Dr.Josef Shargorodsky said.__①__
The study，published in the Journal of the American Medical Association，compared national surveys between the early 1990s and the mid-2000s.In the first survey， about 15 percent of teenagers had some degree of hearing loss.__②__Most of the hearing loss was in one ear only.While it was usually slight，one in 20 adolescents had more pronounced (显著的) problems－up 50 percent since the first survey.
Hearing loss is very common in the elderly，said Alison Grimes，an ear doctor，but she added that it was concerning to see it come into the younger age groups.In babies and young children，hearing problems are known to delay language development, which in turn influences performance in other areas.Slight hearing loss，for instance，makes it difficult to distinguish between high-frequency consonants like “s” and “f”．
__③__The science is less clear for adolescents，but it is easy to imagine how being hard of hearing could influence learning，said Grimes.“We know from a lot of data that noisy classrooms are one of the biggest challenges to learning.”
The reasons for the rise are still uncertain.When asked about noise exposure－on the job，from firearms or recreational activities，for instance—the teenagers didn’t indicate any change.But Shargorodsky said，“We knew from before that it is difficult to ask this age group about noise exposure－they underestimate it.”__④__Although it’s not clear that these devices are to blame，Grimes said it was still a good idea to turn down the volume.But she pointed out the advice would likely fall on deaf ears.She said the American Academy of Hearing had also contacted Steve Jobs，the CEO of Apple，about adding a volume limiter on iPods.But they never heard back.
【解题导语】 文章主要讲述了美国五分之一的青少年有不同程度的听力丧失问题，而且这一问题正在加剧。文章就此展开了调查。
60．In which place should the sentence “Few people would call it noise when they listen to music on their MP3 player，for instance.” be put?
A．① B．②
C．③ D．④
解析：选D。逻辑理解题。根据“Few people would call it noise when they listen to music on their MP3 player，for instance.”表明，当他们在听MP3的时候，很少有人觉得那是一种噪音。与文章④处后面的内容相吻合。
61．What’s the main idea of the third paragraph?
A．Hearing loss was very common in the elderly in the country.
B．The sounds like “s” and “f” are hard to distinguish by babies.
C．The number of teenagers with hearing problems is decreasing.
D．Babies and teenagers are also facing problems of hearing loss.
解析：选D。主旨大意题。第三段中but之后的内容是作者强调的内容，说明听力下降问题已经蔓延到了婴儿和儿童。
62．Which of the following is TRUE?
A．The reasons of the hearing loss are known to the researchers.
B．The surveys have been carried out for at least 15 years.
C．The reasons for the rise are clear to the researchers.
D．The results of surveys have been published in a newspaper.
解析：选B。细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句．..compared national surveys between the early 1990s and the mid-2000s.可以知道答案。
63．The American Academy of Hearing contacted the CEO of Apple in order to________.
A．share the surveys with the CEO of Apple Company
B．get more help in financial from the Apple Company
C．remind the company to add a volume limiter on iPods
D．express warn and threats to the CEO of Apple
解析：选C。细节理解题。根据文章最后一段最后两句话可以判断C项为正确答案。
C
A famous doctor once received a little child who was badly ill.Thanks to his skill and care, his young patient got well and was soon able to get up and run about again.
The child’s mother was very much obliged to the doctor, and she called on him to thank him for what he had done for her child.“Doctor，” she said, “you have saved my little son.I don’t know how to thank you enough.I feel that money alone cannot repay you, so I have made this little purse with my own hands as a sign of my gratitude.I hope you will accept it.” The doctor stood up and said coldly, “Madam, a little present like that is very nice between friends, but a doctor needs to be paid properly for what he has done.” The lady was so surprised and hurt so much that she could not reply for a moment.Then she said quietly, “Perhaps you will tell me how much your fee is？”
“Fifty pounds”， he answered.
The lady opened the little purse and took out four fifty-pound bank notes.She handed one of them to the doctor, and put the other three back into the purse.She put the purse into her handbag and, saying goodbye to the doctor, went out of the room.
64. The lady was thankful to the doctor because ________.
A．he had saved her life
B．he had saved her son’s life
C．he had lent her some money
D．he often called on her
解析：选B。细节理解题。根据第一段．..his young patient got well and was soon able to get up and run about again.可知答案为 B。
65. The doctor refused the lady’s purse because he thought ________.
A. the purse should be given between friends
B．the purse was too small
C．the lady was not kind to him
D．the lady just gave him that purse and wouldn’t give him the medical fee
解析：选D。细节理解题。根据．..a little present like that is very nice between friends, but a doctor needs to be paid properly for what he has done.可知答案为 D。
66．The money in the purse ________.
A．was only 150 pounds
B．was less than 200 pounds
C．was much more than the medical fee
D．was not enough for the medical fee
解析：选 C。细节理解题。根据原文可知医生要的医疗费是50英镑，而女士送的钱包里装的却是4张面值为五十英镑的钞票，由此可判断出此题答案为 C。
67. How do you think the doctor would feel in the end?
A．Sorry and worried. B．Regret and proud.
C．Excited and proud. D．Sorry and regret.
解析：选D。推理判断题。医生会因为误会了这位女士而感到 sorry(抱歉)也会因为没有得到其他3张钞票感到 regret(遗憾)，所以此题答案为 D。
D
While students in Hainan are quite used to clear skies，Beijing teenagers are not so lucky.As another warm winter approaches，the city can expect the normal clouds of smoke caused by air pollution.
But things could start to get better soon.The government is cooperating with a US-based environmental protection agency to update existing buses and trucks with clean fuel technology.The new technology could reduce air pollutants in existing diesel vehicles (柴油机) by 40 percent.The programme will begin by testing buses in Beijing to see if the technology can be applied to them.
“We encourage the development of public transportation.But at the same time we need to reduce pollution from them，” said an official.
Efforts are being made to improve the capital’s environment with tighter controls on emissions (排放)．Some heavily polluting factories and construction sites，such as those owned by the steel giant Shougang Group，have been asked to cut production in November and December or be closed.
Beijing was the third polluted city in the world at the end of last century，according to the UN.But thanks to recent measures，the capital has made some progress.Last year 224 clear days were rated as having good air quality.In 1998 the air quality index (指数) gave just 100 days as good.
“I am glad to see an improvement，” said a Senior 1 boy living in the northwest of Beijing.“Compared to other places，the air quality of Beijing is still worrying though.I hate the pollution.Once I was riding my bike in the morning when I almost had a traffic accident because I couldn’t see a car only meters away from me in frog.”
In early October，the skies were covered by such a thick fog that a display show by the visiting French air force was called off.
Rapid development，industry，traffic fumes (烟) and sandstorms from the desert all contribute to the city’s bad air.
68．The passage is mainly about ________.
A．a programme to improve Beijing’s air quality
B．progress made in Beijing’s air quality
C．Beijing’s air pollution
D．the difference between Hainan and Beijing
解析：选C。主旨大意题。通读全文我们不难发现作者是在谈论“北京的空气污染”。A、B两项表示的是政府在治理过程中的措施和进展。D项明显不符文意。
69．Which of the following is not the measure taken or to be taken to improve Beijing’s air?
A．Clean fuel technology will be used in public transportation.
B．Some factories have been asked to cut production.
C．Some construction sites have been told to be closed.
D．A display show of airplanes has been called off.
解析：选D。细节归纳题。航空飞行表演是因为浓雾被取消，这不是治理空气污染的措施，恰恰是空气污染造成的结果。
70．We can infer from the passage that，with the aim of being an ecological (生态的) city by the 2008 Olympics，________.
A．far more still needs to be done
B．nothing else needs to be done
C．all traffic has to be closed
D．the development of the city has to be slowed down
解析：选A。推理判断题。根据短文中一位高一男生所说的：尽管在治理方面取得了一些进展，但仍然令人担忧(...the air quality of Beijing is still worrying though.)，由此可推断：到2008年北京奥运会时北京要达到生态城市的目标，治理工作任重道远。
71．Which is NOT correct according to the passage?
A．Beijing’s air quality is getting worse and worse.
B．Development，industry，traffic fumes and sandstorms are all the causes of bad air quality.
C．Clouds of smoke in the sky is the common feature in the winter of Beijing.
D．The government is making every effort to stop air pollution.
解析：选A。细节判断题。根据短文第五段“But thanks to recent measures，the capital has made some progress.”可知，北京的空气质量比以前有所改善。去年空气质量指数达到良的为224天，而1998年只有100天。

NEW YORK (Reuters Life！)—More young American adults are living with their parents due to the economic downturn and a lack of jobs in a phenomenon dubbed “full nest syndrome，” according to new research.
The study showed that last year 52.8 percent of Americans between the ages of 18 and 24 were tiring at home，compared with 47.3 in 1970.
“Unfavorable employment conditions make school and educational investments a more attractive option for some young adults，”said Vanessa Wight of Columbia University in New York.
“It may also make living at home a necessity for young adults who cannot afford to live on their own，” the senior researcher at the National Center for Children in Poverty，a think tank at the university，added.
The study also showed that one in seven young adults is emerging from their teenage years with no pathway to financial and economic independence.
Wight added that the transition (转变) to adulthood is becoming increasingly delayed，unlike previous decades when reaching adulthood meant leaving home，getting married and having children.
The researchers，who used data from the U．S.Current Population Survey，found that delayed adulthood coincided with a dramatic increase in the number of young Americans enrolled in school.The number rose from less than 30 percent in 1970 to 45.5 percent in 2008.
Young adults are also delaying marriage and starting a family.In 1970，the median age for a first marriage was 20.8 for women and 23.2 for men，compared to 25.9 for women and 28.1 for men in 2009.
“Some research suggests that the notion of adulthood is changing and that marriage and parenthood，once the hallmarks of adult status，are no longer as important to defining a successful transition to adulthood，”Wight said.
“Others have argued that changes in values and attitudes have contributed to rising individualism.So，we are less willing to get married，”she added.
American-Indians and Alaskan native communities had the highest percentage of young adults who were not financially and economically independent.
“Relative to other race/ethnic groups，they have historically suffered from poor employment opportunities within their community，higher unemployment rates，and a range of factors such as high rates of depression，”she said.
Wight believes that a public policy approach can help ameliorate (改善) the long-term impact of young disconnection.
“We need to focus on keeping children and youth on track to be connected in young adulthood...And we need to focus on reconnecting those who fall off the track and fail to launch.”

Dear_friends，
When we receive pocket money from our parents, how will you do? Now I will give you some advice.You can put the money into the bank; it’s a safe and convenient place for the money.We also can buy books, which we are longing to buy.We can get knowledge from the books.And also we can use the money to raise our interest on music, PE or stamp collection. All in all, we should not waste the money because earning money is not easy for our parents.We should form the good habit of saving money when we are young.
Thank you!
