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
“Just ate chicken feet for lunch.” These were the words I wrote on my blog yesterday. By the next day there were hundreds of comments from my friends. They ranged from “OH MY GOD! That is so disgusting！” to “What were they like？” to “Why can't you eat sandwiches like everyone else？”
To Chinese people, chicken feet are a normal snack. To my friends in Britain, the thought of eating a chicken's feet is—well, weird. As weird, in fact, as eating a bullfrog (牛蛙), scorpion (蝎子), snake, or turtle.
But if there are two things I love more than anything else in life, they are a) trying new things and b) food.
I arrived in Beijing five months ago. Since then, I've searched for the “weirdest” foods so I can try them, then treat my friends to some “virtual eating” on my blog.
One weekend, I went to Wangfujing, Beijing's “snack street”. The trip gave me tons of blog material.
“I chose a stick with three live, wriggling scorpions on it，” I wrote. “And it was pretty good. The scorpion was warm and crispy. The legs did have a tendency to get stuck between one's teeth, however. What's more, I am sure scorpion stung (螫伤) me twice with its tail in revenge.”
Next came snake: “A bit like a cross between fish and chicken, with a slightly rubbery texture (弹性口感) and meaty taste.”
Some people were actually angry when I ate turtle soup—especially when I posted pictures showing the poor little guy's head staring sadly up at us from the bowl. “I am never speaking to you again，” wrote one (former) friend.
Still, I will continue my culinary quest (美食征程)．
Next on my list is starfish, though I feel I should have some vegetables too—algae, maybe.
So what am I eating, tonight, you may ask. Pizza. Well, a girl's gotta have a break sometimes.
36．What does the author like most in life?
A．Trying new things and food. B．Travelling.
C．Walking. D．Shopping.
37．Where did the author get her blog material?
A．From her friends. B．From Wangfujing, Beijing's “snack street”．
C．From shopping. D．From the Internet.
38．What is the author's friends' attitude towards her trying “weird” foods?
A．They are satisfied. B．They are happy.
C．They are surprised and even angry. D．They are sorry.
39．What can we learn from the passage about the author?
A．The author likes eating. B．The author enjoys traveling.
C．The author is fond of shopping. D．The author is interested in Chinese food.
B
How to improve your life？Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They'll say, “This is my fate, my destiny. I cannot change it.”
Of course not！You don't have to suffer needlessly. Your destiny depends on you, not on any other external factors.
I know someone who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is？She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routine cycle follows.
Huh! Is this what she calls “doing her best”？She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that God has intended for her to live; that her luck can only change if God wills it. Of course God wants us to be happy and live our life to the fullest, but we have to do our share of exerting (运用) the effort to live the life of our dreams.
Remember that you reap what you sow. You just don't sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall from the sky. You have to get off the couch, get your eyes off the TV screen, and get your hands off the phone. Don't expect your luck to change unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don't just regard it as a temporary setback; but use it as feedback. Learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It's not enough to think positively; you also have to act positively.
If someone's life is in trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not！You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, don't just stand (or sit) there; do something to improve your life.
40．According to the woman mentioned in Paragraph 3, her life ________．
A．doesn't need improving B．couldn't be improved
C．will be better some day D．will be worse in the future
41．What does the author think of the woman's life?

B．Your luck can be changed by your efforts.
C．You can only achieve success when God wills it.
D．You should treat yourself in the way you treat friends.
43．The text is mainly written to advise you to ________．
A．understand yourself B．improve your life

Famous as “the king of chefs and the chef of kings”， Auguste Escoffier helped raise the position of cooking from a laborer's task to an artist's job. Escoffier was born on October 28，1846, in the small village of Villeneuve-Loubet, near Nice, France. Among the key figures in the boy's life was his father, who worked primarily as a blacksmith(铁匠). His grandmother, an enthusiastic cook, was perhaps more responsible than anyone for introducing the boy to an appreciation of the delights of cooking.
Young Escoffier attended the local school until age 12, upon which time his father thought it necessary that the boy learnt a trade. In school he had shown a talent for drawing, yet he was told to regard this art only as a hobby, and to find his career in a more practical profession. Thus his father took him to Nice in 1859, where he would work as an apprentice(学徒)in his uncle's restaurant, the respectable Le Restaurant Francais.
At Le Restaurant Francais, Escoffier was not treated as the close relative of the boss. Rather, he experienced a classically demanding apprenticeship. For this strictness of training he would later, in his memoirs(回忆录), express gratefulness. During this time Escoffier also attended night school, and had to deal with his studies as well as the demands of a promising career.
When Escoffier was 19 and had taken on yet more responsibilities in his uncle's restaurant, a customer recognized his skills and offered him work in Paris. This was the owner of Le Petit Moulin Rouge, one of the finest restaurants in Paris, where Escoffier was to become a sous-chef, ranking below the head chef. After three years in this position, he rose to the level of head chef, wearing the respected chef's hat.
44．It was his ________ who first influenced Escoffier to be interested in cooking.
A．father B．mother C．uncle D．grandmother
45．We can infer that as a schoolboy, Escoffier might hope to be ________．
A．a chef B．a businessman C．an artist D．a blacksmith
46．Which of the following can best describe Escoffier?
A．Hard-working. B．Honest. C．Warm-hearted. D．Modest.
47．What is the text mainly about?
A．How to become a chef in France. B．The influence of Auguste Escoffier.
C．What an apprentice is required to do. D．The early life of a famous French chef.
D
Are Baiji Dolphin Extinct?
Does the Yangtze River still have baiji, the graceful, grey dolphin with tiny eyes and a long narrow beak?
Since November 6, a team of scientists from China, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany and Japan have been searching for any sign of the freshwater dolphin in the middle and lower sections of the river. After six weeks, they came back empty-handed.
Wang Ding, of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who is the head of the team, said he has seen a sharp decline in the baiji population over the past few decades. However, he is still unwilling to call the species extinct, and adds, “We will try every effort to save them as long as they are not found to be extinct.”
The baiji is shy and nearly blind and is one of the world's oldest dolphin species. It dates back to some 20 million years and is found only in the Yangtze River. It's listed as one of the 12 most endangered animal species in the world.
Around 400 baiji dolphins were believed to be living in the Yangtze River until the 1980s. A 1997 survey spotted 13.Two years later their numbers were down to two.
The rapid disappearance of this dolphin over the past two decades coincided with (与……同时) the rapid expansion of economic development along the river. Research on some dead baiji collected in recent years showed that more than 90 percent of the deaths were caused by human activities.
One reason is that over-fishing has cut the dolphin's food sources. Dams built along the river and neighboring waterways have also kept them from swimming into and out of their habitats. Meanwhile, waste discharge(排放) has seriously polluted the river. And heavy river traffic has greatly reduced their living space.
The disappearance of the baiji would be the first instance of a large aquatic mammal (水生哺乳动物) being driven to extinction since hunting killed off the monk seal (僧海豹)around 1952.
48．Baiji dolphin used to live in the ________ of the Yangtze River.
A．upper sections B．middle sections
C．lower sections D．middle and lower sections
49．The first paragraph shows writer's ________．
A．love of baiji B．eagerness to write the passage
C．anger for not having a baiji D．dissatisfaction with our government
50．How many baiji dolphins were left by the end of last century?
A．400. B．13. C．At most 2. D．2.
51．Which of the following reasons doesn't lead to the rapid disappearance of baiji dolphins?
A．Over-fishing. B．Heavy road traffic.
C．Dams built along the river. C．Waste discharge.
E
There are stories about two US Presidents，Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren，which attempt to explain the American English term OK. We don't know if either story is true，but they are both interesting.
The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education. In fact，he had difficulty reading and writing. When important papers came to Jackson，he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they said. If he approved of a paper, he would write “all correct” on it. The problem was that he didn't know how to spell. So what he really wrote was “ol korekt”. After a while，he shortened that term to “OK”．
The second explanation is based on the place where President Van Buren was born，Kinderhook，New York. Van Buren's friends organized a club to help him become president. They called the club the Old Kinderhook Club，and anyone who supported Van Buren was called “OK”．
52．The author ________．
A．believes both of the stories B．doesn't believe a word of the stories
C．is not sure whether the stories are true D．is telling the stories just for fun
53．According to the passage，President Jackson ________．
A．couldn't draw up any documents at all
B．didn't like to read important papers by himself
C．often had his assistants sign documents for him
D．wasn't good at reading，writing or spelling
54．According to the first story, the term “OK”________．
A．was approved of by President Jackson
B．was the title of some official documents
C．was first used by President Jackson
D．was an old way to spell “all correct”
55．According to the second story，the term “OK” ________．
A．was the short way to say “Old Kinderhook Club”
B．meant the place where President Van Buren was born
C．was the name of Van Buren's club
D．was used to call Van Buren's supporters in the election

第三部分 写作(共两节，满分35分)
第一节 任务型读写(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)
阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。
注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
In a society, such as the United States or Canada, which has many national, religious and cultural differences, people highly value individualism — the difference among people. Teachers place a lot of importance on the qualities that make each student special. The educational systems in these countries show these values. Students don't memorize information. Instead, they work individually and find answers themselves. There is often a discussion in the classroom. At an early age, students learn to form their own ideas and opinions.
In most Asian societies, by contrast, people have the same language, history, and culture. Perhaps for this reason, the educational system in much of Asia reflects society's belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism. Children in China, Japan, and Korea often work together and help one another on assignments. In the classroom, the teaching methods are often very formal. The teacher lectures, and the students listen. There are not many discussions. Instead, the students recite rules of information that they have memorized.
There are advantages and disadvantages to both of these systems of education. For example, one advantage to the system in Japan is that there is much more math and science than American students learn by the end of high school. They also study more hours each day and more days each year than North Americans do. The system is difficult, but it prepares students for a society that values discipline and self-control. There is, however, a disadvantage. Memorization is an important learning method in Japanese schools, yet many students say that after an exam, they forget much of the information that they have memorized.
The advantage of the educational system in North America, on the other hand, is that students learn to think themselves. The system prepares them for a society that values creative ideas. There is, however, a disadvantage. When students graduate from high school, they haven't memorized as many basic rules and facts as students in other countries have.

One possible version：
Nowadays,_a_lot_of_people_are_reportedly_unwilling_to_help_others._However，Liu_Fang_acted_differently.
Last Sunday afternoon, on her way back to school, Liu Fang came across an old man lying on the ground, seriously hurt in the leg. She immediately stopped, called 120 and practiced first aid. Soon, the ambulance came and took the man to hospital. When everything was OK, she left for school.
Such is Liu Fang, a helpful, positive and determined person. Though there might be misunderstanding or even trouble when we do good, I strongly believe that she has done the right thing. As responsible citizens, it is our duty to help people in need. Also, if you don't offer your help when others are in trouble, how can you expect help from others when you are in trouble? Therefore, helping others means helping ourselves in a sense, doesn't it?
