A
A young executive was traveling down a neighborhood street．He was watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something．As his car passed，no children appeared．Instead，a brick smashed into the Jag’S side door! He slammed on the brakes．The angry driver then jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car，shouting，“What was that all about and who are you?”
The young boy was apologetic．“Please，Mister．．．Please，I’m sorry…I didn’t know what else to do．I threw the brick because no one else would stop…”
With tears dripping down his face，the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car．“It’s my brother，”he said．“He fell out of his wheelchair and I cna’t lift him up．”
Now sobbing，the boy asked the executive，“Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me．’’
Moved beyond words，the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat．He hurriedly lifted the boy back into the wheelchair，then took out his fancy handkerchief and dabbed at the fresh scrapes and cuts．A quick look told him everything was going to be okay．“Thank you and may God bless you．”the grateful child told the stranger．
Shaken up for words，the man simply watched the little boy push his wheelchair—bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home．

When you put down your pens at the end of the college entrance exam, 12 hard years of study will have come to an end. Forget your studies for a while. It's time to enjoy yourselves!
There are many ways to celebrate this special month of graduation. You can have photos taken with your classmates and teachers, or dine out together and exchange gifts.
High school students in Western countries such as the United States and Canada usually have a prom to mark their graduation. It's to mark the time kids turn into young men and women. After the prom, teenagers either go to college or find a job. It means they are no longer as dependent on their parents as they were before.
At the prom, boys usually dress in dinner jackets and bow ties, though many different types of formal clothes are worn. Traditionally, girls give boys matching boutonnieres (a small collection of flowers they pin to their jackets). Girls traditionally wear formal dresses, or dress to shock or be noticed, in shiny or brightly colored materials.
Common prom activities include dining, dancing, the crowning (加冠) of a prom king and queen, and just talking to friends. In some cases, high school students collect funds for their class prom through the four years of their high school.
High schools in or near large cities may rent ballrooms at expensive hotels or, to be unusual, on a pleasure cruise boat.
But often costs are cut by simply using the school gym. Students make a lot of effort to decorate the gym to make the event special. The music played at the prom will be the most popular kinds, like rock and hip-hop.
The students elect the Prom Queen. She is partnered with a Prom King who is elected similarly. These are great honors that the pair take very seriously. The two dance with each other to celebrate their election.
Sometimes teachers and parents also go to the prom. But others like to go with friends, to whom they are soon going to be saying goodbye.
If you like the idea of a prom, why don't you and your classmates organize one for your graduation?
61．What does the word “prom” probably mean in the passage?
A．A dancing competition.
B.A party held to celebrate graduation.
C．A fashion show.
D．An election.

to students?
A．They take pictures at the prom.

64．Why do some students attend the prom with their friends?
A．They want to be elected by their friends us the Prom King or Queen.
B．They don’t like to be accompanied by their parents.
C．They don’t want to depend on their parents.

Colleges are starting to wake up to how sleep deprivation(剥夺) cuts into the academic and athletic performance of their students. All-nighters have become a habit in higher education, but a handful of small new studies help document the consequences.
A study at St. Lawrence University in Canton, N.Y., showed what may seem obvious to most: All-nighters are not an effective way to succeed in school.
“You can’t do your best work when you’re sleep-deprived,” says psychology professor Pamela Thacher, who wrote the study. Thacher, studied the sleeping patterns and grades of 111 students to see the relationship between sleep and their GPAs.
Two-thirds of the students reported that they had pulled at least one all-nighter during a semester. Many students believe that it’s a “rite of passage”(标志) to stay up all night during college and that “it’s kind of fun,” Thacher says.
But “if you use all-nighters, your GPA is slightly lower on average,” Thacher says. “Pulling all-nighters gives in your (overall) sleep” and makes it difficult to reach full academic potential.
Short-term side effects of sleep deprivation include delayed reactions and tendencies to make mistakes.
A Stanford University study may help persuade at least student athletes to make more time for bed. Cheri Mah, a graduate researcher at Stanford, worked with six basketball players, who all ran faster and made more shots over a period in which they slept at least 10 hours a night.
“Athletes who get an extra amount of sleep are more likely to improve their performance in a game,” says Mah, who released results from an ongoing study in June. “It’s not common knowledge, because if people understood how much of a difference (getting more sleep could make athletically,” they’d apply it more to their lives and not focus solely on nutrition and exercise.
66．According to the study at St. Lawrence University, ___________.
A．one can reach his potential by staying up late
B．it takes one all night to recite a passage
C．the less one sleeps, the more effective his work is
D．all-nighters affect one’s academic performance
67．The underlined word “document” in the first paragraph probably means ___________.
A．prove B．check C．oppose D．improve
68．Which of the following statements is true?
A．All-nighters are a short-cut to success in school.
B．All-nighters can make one’s GPAs much higher.
C．Staying up late tends to react slowly and make mistakes.
D．The study may help persuade all students to sleep well.
69．According to Cheri Mah, _______.
A．athletes improve their performance only by means of nutrition and exercise
B．it is known to all that those who get extra sleep perform better
C．people don’t understand getting more sleep can make a difference
D．athletes should sleep as much as possible to run faster
70．What is this passage mainly concerned about?
A．A study on all-nighters at St. Lawrence University.
B．College students’ performance suffering from lack of sleep.
C．Short-term side effects of sleep deprivation.
D．A Stanford University study on athletes’ sleep.
D
Last year, on report card day, my son and a bunch of his 13-year-old friends piled into the back seat of my car, ready for the last-day-of-school party at McDonald’s. “Jack got a laptop for getting straight A’s, and Laurie got a cellphone,” one boy said. “Oh, yeah, and Sarah got an iPod Nano, and she’s only in third grade,” said another. “And how about Brian? He got $ 10 for each A.”
I suddenly became concerned. These payoffs might get parents through grammar school, but what about high school and beyond? What would be left after the electric guitar, the cell phone, and the portable DVD player?
I saw the road ahead: As the homework load increased, my income would decrease. I saw my comfortable lifestyle vanish before my eyes-no more of those $ 5 bags of already-peeled organic carrots. No more organic anything!
I started to feel surprised and nervous. Would every goal attained by my two children fetch a reward? A high grade point average? A good class ranking? Would sports achievements be included in this reward system: soccer goals, touchdowns, runs-batted-in? What about orchestra? Would first chair pay more than second? I’d be penniless by eighth-grade graduation.
“We never paid anything for good grades,” said my neighbor across the street, whose son was recently accepted at MIT. “He just did it on his own. Maybe once in a while we went out for pizza, but that’s about it.”
Don’t you just hate that? We’re all running around looking for the MP3 player with the most updates, and she’s spending a few dollars on pizza. She gets motivation; we get negotiation.
71．The sentence “As the homework load increased, my income would decrease.” in the third paragraph probably means _____________.
A．taking care of the children would influence my work
B．I would spend more money on my children’s homework
C．reducing children’s homework load would cost me a lot
D．more rewards would be needed as the children grew up
72．We can tell from the passage that the author’s son was in ___________.
A．primary school B．junior middle school
C．high school D．university
73．It can be inferred from the passage that ____________.
A．if you pay the children for good grades, they would take it for granted
B．if you buy children pizza for good grades, they would work harder
C．children would not ask for rewards when they enter high school
D．children would not ask for rewards when they enter university
74．The example of the author’s neighbor shows that ____________.
A．pizza is the best way to motivate children
B．reward is not the only way to motivate children
C．the author’s neighbor was very poor
D．the author’s neighbor’s son didn’t like reward
75．What is the author’s attitude toward paying children reward for good grades?
A．Favorable B．Ambiguous C．Disagreeable D．Unknowable
第Ⅱ卷（两节，共45分）
第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）
阅读下面文章，回答有关小题。
Soccer is played by millions of people all over the world, but there have only been few players who were truly great. How did these players get that way-was it through practice, or are great players “born, not made”? First, these players come from places that have had famous stars in the past-players that a young boy can look up to and try to imitate. In the history of soccer, only six countries have ever won the World Cup-three from South America and three from Western Europe. ____________-or a really great player-from North America or from Asia. Second, these players have all had years of practice in the game. Alfredo Di Stefano was the son of a soccer player, as was Pele. Most players began playing the game at the age of three or four.
Finally, many great players come from the same kind of neighourhood-a poor, crowded area where a boy’s dream is not to be a doctor, lawyer, or businessman, but to become a rich, famous athlete or entertainer. For example, Liverpool, which produced the Beetle, has one of the best English soccer teams in recent years. Pele practiced in the street with a “ball” made of rags. And George Best learned the tricks that made him famous by bouncing the ball off a wall in the slums of Belfast.
All great players have a lot in common, but that doesn’t explain why they are great. Hundreds of boys played in those Brazilian streets, but only one became Pele. The greatest players are born with some unique quality that sets them apart from all the others.
76．What is the main idea of the passage? (Please answer within 10 words)
77．Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?
Generally, where there are great respectable soccer players, such players will come into being.
78．Please fill in the blank in the first paragraph with proper words or sentence to complete the sentence. (Please answer within 10 words.)
79．To be a great soccer players, he needs some qualities. What quality do you think is the most important? (Please answer within 30 words.)
80．Translate the underlined sentence in the third paragraph into Chinese.

One possible version：
In recent days, a discussion is being carried on about whether the Golden Week should be cancelled
Some people agreed to cancel the Golden Week．They pointed out that nationwide traveling has put big pressure on transportation，tourist safety and the environment．The Golden Week results in crowded scenic spots and packed hotels，making the quality of service decIine．
However, other people argue the golden week has encouraged people to spend more during the seven-day holiday so it has brought huge profits to the nation’s tourism industry and promoted the economic growth．
Despite the fact that voices calling for its cancellation are becoming even stronger I still think people need to relax and common vacation time is very important．It should take into consideration not only incomes，but also the satisfaction of those who take the holiday.
Opinions of those who object：
In my opinion，the current golden week might as well be canceled and we should readjust the nation’s public holidays. The new 1ist of public holidays may include important traditional festivals，such as the Dragon Boat Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival．
