When Kristi was born,the doctor pointed out that her feet were turned inward (向內(nèi)扭曲) ."Left 1      ,it would be a problem," he told us.

  We did our best to help our baby. When she was only two weeks old,I brought her back to the doctor,just as he had 2        and the doctor put her 3        feet into casts. Because she was growing,I had to take her 4        to the doctor every two weeks to have each foot recast.

  5       the casting was finished,and it was time for 6        shoes and bars. Jim and I watched with hope and concern as she 7        to walk. Those first,awkward steps made us so 8       . When she entered preschool,her steps appeared quite 9       . Encouraged by her progress,we looked for something else to help 10        her poorer body.

  As it 11,she loved the ice！

  When she 12        six,we entered her in skating lessons and soon she was gliding like a swan. We watched in 13        as she skimmed the ice. She worked hard at every new movement. She loved the ice and her dedication 14       . At the senior World Championships in 1991,she won the women's singles!Then we found ourselves filled with love and 15        in France,at the 1992 Winter Olympics,as our daughter,Kristi Yamaguchi won the gold medal.

  I thought back to the early years of 16       for Kristi―the years of frustration for her as a child who simply wanted to 17      the endless doctor visits;the first baby steps with bars and corrected shoes. We 18       her strength and dedication,and how far she had come on two tiny feet that had once been 19        in heavy casts. In our eyes,Kristi had always walked with the 20        of a true champion.

1. C此句是一個(gè)虛擬語氣句，后面有would be, 所以前面應(yīng)該是if it were left...的省略形式。句意為"如果不矯正,那么就會(huì)有麻煩"。故用uncorrected。

2. A句意為：按照醫(yī)生的囑咐。direct表示"指導(dǎo)"。

7. A struggle to do sth.意為"努力做某事"，符合題意。

8. B看到孩子邁出第一步，父母在一旁覺得很激動(dòng)。

10. B句意為：我們決定找一些其他的方法來增強(qiáng)她的體質(zhì)。在此處用動(dòng)詞strengthen ,意為

"增強(qiáng)"。

11. A turn out意為"結(jié)果……"，后可接從句。根據(jù)句意,此處表示"結(jié)果是她愛上了滑冰"。

12. D表示"到……歲"時(shí)用系動(dòng)詞turn。

13. C看到女兒像天鵝一樣在冰上滑行,我們感到很驚訝。in wonderment意為"驚嘆"。

14. A這里用pay off表示"補(bǔ)償，回報(bào)"(to be successful) ，后文也說明了這一點(diǎn)。

15. C此處表達(dá)父母看到孩子成功時(shí)的心情，感受到他們對(duì)孩子的"愛"和對(duì)她不怕困難、戰(zhàn)勝自我的"欽佩和欣慰"。

16. B由破折號(hào)后的內(nèi)容可知，"我"回憶起前些年女兒所面臨的"挑戰(zhàn)"。

17. A由前面的simply可以推斷，這里是說"行走"。

18. B我們敬佩她的力量和努力。

19. B bound是bind的過去分詞，意為"捆，縛"，SP"被束縛著"。

20. C在父母的眼中，女兒從沒有缺陷，她一直是以一個(gè)真正的冠軍的優(yōu)雅姿勢走著。二、閱讀理解語篇導(dǎo)讀:在我們懵懂無知時(shí),我們會(huì)取笑捉弄他人。作者也曾經(jīng)被捉弄，而且她還加人取笑另外一個(gè)女孩子的行列。多年后，作者回憶往事充滿愧疚。

  The impact that English has to our life is beyond words. It is one of the major courses to kids ever since they start their primary schools. With Olympics being held in Beijing in 2008 and World Exposition in Shanghai 2010,English spree (狂熱) seems not going to die out very soon but will continue to grow.

  To some people,it's a big release,when seeing themselves graduate from the university and they don't need to touch English anymore.  Kiss you,byebye,someone exclaimed. While to some others,it is not the case. After years and years of study,some people,still want to continue their "love" with English.  "I can't just throw it away as I do with a textbook," someone sighed. So,what to do then?

  Well,don't feel depressed. You are more than right to continue your "love" with English. How to do it? Well,easy!Just treat it as a hobby. If you look at the people around you,you will see almost all of them have hobbies. Some of them like sports,some like shopping,some enjoy playing mahjong. The list can go on and on. So,what's wrong to treat it as your hobby? I know this sounds very bizarre to many people,but who cares.

  Once we decide what our hobby is,it's important that we take a good look at this particular "hobby". As we all know,it consists of four major components―listening,speaking,reading and writing. It's almost not practical to try to be perfect with all these four pillars. (Remember,I define it as a hobby,not a career. ) So,ask yourself what you really want to pursue. If you are fond of translation,go for it. If you choose reading,well,why not?

  As this hobby is quite different from others,we should therefore,need to work out a plan to make the hobby more practical. To me,this hobby requires faith,action and patience. Let's talk about faith first. I believe you all agree with me that confidence and faith should be the first step when you start our journey. This is more like "lovetalking". If you don't think you can fall in love with a boy or a girl,what's the point of trying it? After all,you are just wasting your time.

  Now,once you have the confidence,the trust you have on yourself. What need to be done next is to work out a plan. Let's say,you want to "fall in love" with translation. What you may choose to do is to go to a library and pick your "girl/boy friend"，that is the book that you want to "fall in love".

  Lastly,we shouldn't be too hard to ourselves. Remember,this hobby is totally different from others. You've got to give yourself time and patience. Again,this is very much like "lovetalking". You need to give yourself time to play around. Great Wall was not built overnight,right? So is our love.

(   ) 5. In pursing one's hobby,the writer seems to believe that the key elements are      

   A. love,plan and action

   B. faith,action and patience

   C. purpose,confidence and books

   D. environment,trust and decision

(   ) 6. The underlined word "pillars" in the fourth paragraph is closest here in meaning to

   A. subjects   B. courses   C. columns   D. aspects

(   ) 7. By saying "Great Wall was not built overnight" at the end of the passage,what the writer really wants to convey is         .

   A. it is not an easy job to learn English well

   B. one should grasp his time learning English

   C. it is never too late to begin English learning

   D. you may take your time at English learning

(   ) 8. In writing this passage,the writer is somehow very         .

   A. humorous   B. doubtful   C. persuasive   D. abusive

 Chatting with friends online in English is an approach to enjoying the delight brought by using a foreign language as a real tool of communication. But I don't think it is the best way to improve our English.

  Firstly,as you know,when you are chatting,you have no time and energy to pay attention to the grammar and it is common to spell words in wrong ways,and no teacher will check and correct errors for you. So if you overlook such kind of mistakes and fall into the habit of spelling and writing without thinking carefully,you will most likely forget the Standard English and totally be confused eventually. Here,I take the liberty to suggest that you should remember to confirm what you have "said" online as soon as possible by turning to your dictionaries and grammar books after being offline.

  Secondly,during the spell of chatting,you have to answer the same questions such as "where are u from"，"how old are u" etc. patiently in order to show your politeness. And I don't think they are good questions,even it is not too much to say they are dull and tasteless. In other words,it will make both you and your friend feel tiresome soon. As a result,the atmosphere of chatting will be frozen. I suggest you should switch your topic wisely at that time instantly. Otherwise,both of you will be in low spirit,let alone learn something from each other and improve your English level. The only benefit,I guess,you can get from it is killing your precious time in an expensive way.

  When it comes to talking about the fee spent for being online,I think it is still too high to be accepted by most students and unfortunately the greater proportion of chatters (who like chatting in English) are students who are supported by parents. And each penny is drenched in parents' sweat.

  So,my conclusion is that chatting with friends in English online can't be totally substituted for learning English in class,and if you want to improve your English overall,then,chat online properly not frequently and do more hard work after being offline.

(   ) 1. It seems this passage is written in response to someone's argument "         ".

   A. Chatting with friends online in English is a good approach

   B. Chatting with friends online can better your English grammar

   C. The advantage and disadvantage of chatting online with friends

   D. Students should not kill their time by chatting online with others

(   ) 2. According to this passage,some chatters make mistakes while chatting online chiefly because         .

   A. they have not got a teacher to check their writing

   B. they have not got a dictionary or grammar book at hand

   C. they have not learnt English well enough to chat with others

   D. they have to answer questions online quickly and immediately

(   ) 3. The writer believes that by answering questions like "where are u from"，"how old are u” etc.，the chatters may be in low spirits because      .

   A. you are not friendly if your questions are so direct

   B. it is not polite to ask about someone's private affairs

   C. your English is not standard and you should spell "you" instead of "u"

   D. your questions are not creative and you should talk about something inviting

(   ) 4. By saying " And each penny is drenched in parents' sweat"，the writer seems to say that         .

   A. money spent chatting online is not worthy

   B. chatters should chat online with parents

   C. it is hard for our parents to earn money

   D. one should chat online properly

  One thing Britain is famous for is pubs,and no trip to the UK would be complete without a visit to one of the thousands of pubs across the country.

  Pubs play an important part in the social structure of the country. They are places where all ages and social classes mix to talk,do business,or just spend a couple of quiet hours before heading home in the evening.

  There are many different types of beer available in pubs. Traditional British beer is called bitter,or ale,and is usually served at room temperature. As a result,the British are famous for their " warm beer"！

  If you prefer a cold beer,ask for lager. This beer is a light yellow in color whereas bitter is usually a darker brown. Another type of beer is stout—you may have heard of Guinness,which is a type of stout. This is a cold,black beer and takes a long time to pour,so don't be surprised if you have to wait for it.

  All beers are served as pints (500 ml) or halves (250ml) . To order,you need to ask for a pint or half,and then name the beer. So,you could say "A pint of bitter,please."

  Another drink is cider. This is like beer,but it is made from apples so it can taste sweet.

  Wine,red or white,is normally available in all pubs,as are spirits such as whisky,gin or vodka. These are served as singles (25ml) or doubles (50ml) .

It is not,however,necessary to drink alcohol. Nonalcoholic drinks are called soft drinks. You can have juice,lemonade or cola,among others.

  If you visit a pub in a group,it is important to pay for your "round". This means that you buy a drink for everyone in your group. Not buying your round is a big social mistake!Remember that you need to order and pay for your drinks at the bar.

So,follow these tips if you want to get the most out of visiting a pub,and, "Cheers!"

   A. If you didn't visit a pub in Britain,you wouldn't buy anything.

   B. Pubs are part of British life,so you'd better not miss them.

   C. There are many famous pubs in Britain and you should visit them.

   LIMA. Peru―Nearly 60 years after Thor Heyerdahl's Pacific Ocean crossing aboard the balsa(白塞木) raft Kon-Tiki,a Norwegian team is in Peru putting final touches on a new boat to repeat the journey.

  "I think we are mentally prepared and we are really,really anxious to put this raft in the ocean," said Olav Heyerdahl,28, the adventurer's grandson and one of the sixmember crew.

  Behind him in a dry dock in Lima's port of Callao was the raft Tangaroa―named for the Polynesian god of the ocean―which is scheduled to set sail April 28.

The expedition had been set for last year,but was postponed after key sponsors shifted funds to help victims of the 2004 Southeast Asian tsunami.

In 1947,Thor Heyerdahl and his team sailed their simple raft 5 ,000 miles from Peru to Polynesia in 101 days to support Heyerdahl's theory that the South Sea Islands were settled by ancient mariners from South America. Heyerdahl,who died in 2002 at age 87,documented his voyage in the bestselling book Kon-Tiki and in an Oscarwinning documentary film.

  The adventurer's 67-year-old son,Thor Heyerdahl Jr.，came to Peru to see the new boat and cheer on his own son. "Fm very happy for him that he gets this opportunity," he said.

  The new 56-foot boat is larger than the Kon-Tiki,with eight crossbeams fastened to 11 balsa logs from Ecuador and covered by a bamboo deck.

  The Kon-Tiki carried only the most basic equipment,even by 1947 standards. But the Tangaroa features abundant modern technology,including solar panels to produce electricity and satellite navigation and communications gear. "We have seen this project grow from just an idea,a dream,and then suddenly you are 10 days away from being on the raft on the sea”， said Swedish filmmaker Anders Berg,who will document the journey. " It's like pregnancy,I would say."

  The Kon-Tiki was equipped with a simple sail and could not navigate against the wind. Its journey ended when it sank on a reef near Tahiti.

The expedition is a $800,000 venture backed by the Norwegian Environment Ministry,private businesses and Heyerdahl's hometown of Larvik,Norway.

(   ) 1. The Norwegians will have the journey to         .

    A. support some theories   B. repeat an old voyage

   C. explore some new places   D. test a new kind of boat

(   ) 2. What does the underlined sentence "It's like pregnancy" mean in the passage?

   A. They have prepared for a long time.

   B. The journey is common.

   C. A baby will be born during the journey.

   D. The journey will be hard.

(   ) 3. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

   A. Tangaroa was sunk on a reef near Tahiti.

   B. The journey was delayed because of some financial reasons.

   C. The voyage by Thor Heyerdahl was documented by an American filmmaker.

   D. Six people will take part in the journey including Thor,s        grandson,a filmmaker.

(   ) 4. What is the best title for the passage?

   A. Thor Heyerdahrs Pacific Ocean Crossing

   B. Norwegians to Recreate Kon-Tiki Journey

   C. An Oscarwinning Documentary Film

   D. An Unforgettable Journey

科目：高中英語 來源： 題型：

  In a living statue,just as the name implies,somebody transforms himself or herself into a statue. Last year,I came across an article in a magazine describing living statues in the streets of some Australian cities. The article was vividly written,except that there was not even a single picture;one could only imagine what a scene it would have been!All the harder,then,to believe that I ran into the "wonder" in Barcelona this year. The performers一the living statues—were street artists at Las Ramblas.

  Las Ramblas is the most famous street in Barcelona. Especially in summer,thousands of tourists go to the seaside by passing through this street,making it a center of shops and bazaars (市場) .Not only can you find tourists there,but also thieves,swindlers,cops ... among whom the living statue artists are the most special group.

  They were covered with greasepaint (油脂漆) in different colors,wearing season disproportional clothes,standing on a base for several hours without making even a single move. Are they real or fake,the guests were wondering ... and then suddenly the statues came to life,just for a few seconds to shift positions. But the movement of the statues seemed like someone just had breathed life into them. They really do look like statues,and that's how they got their name.

  Usually there is a jar or a hat in front of them. They would change to another pose whenever some tourists put a coin in the hat. You may take photos after giving a Euro,or even less,but be careful not to touch the statues,unless you want yourself to be covered in paint. It's a really special experience,don't you think?

  For Chinese people,this is undoubtedly a surprising style of art and way of making a living. I haven't seen or heard any report at all about living statues in Chinese cities. Body painting of course sometimes can be seen,but it's not quite the same as having a living statue.

(   ) 5. From the passage we know that a living statue is         .

   A. a statue which can be made in the face of the people

   B. a kind of statue that people can touch freely

   C. a statue that somebody pretends and that looks like a real one

   D. a common statue that can stand in the street

(   ) 6. Where did the writer first know about the living statues?

   A. In a magazine.

   B. In the street of Bacelona.

   C. In some squares in China.

   D. From some pictures.

(   ) 7. According to the passage,which of the following statements is true?

   A. At Las Ramblas you can see different kinds of people except the living statues.

   B. Body painting is the same as the living statues.

   C. You can take photos of the statues for free but better not touch them.

   D. Up to now,there are no living statues appearing in the streets in China.

(   ) 8. The underlined word "vividly" probably means         .

   A. lively   B. interestingly   C. carefully   D. lovely
