The first time I remember noticing I remember noticing the crossing guard was when he waved to me as I drove my son to school. He 16 me with a puzzle ---- all because he waved to me like someone does 17 seeing a close friend. A big, 18 smile accompanied his wave. For the next few days I tried to 19 his face to see if I knew him. I didn’t. Perhaps he had 20 me for someone else. By the time I contented myself with the 21 that he and I were strangers, we were greeting each other warmly every morning like old friends.
Then one day the 22 was solved. As I 23 the school he was standing in the middle of the road 24 his stop sign. I was in live behind four cars. 25 the kids had reached the safety of the sidewalk, he lowered his sign and let the cars 26. To the first he waved and 27 in just the same way he had done to me over the last few days. The kids already had the window down and were happily waving their reply. The second car got the same 28 from the crossing guard, and the driver, a stiff-looking（表情刻板的） businessman, gave a brief, almost 29 wave back. Each following car of kids on their way to school 30 more heartily.
Every morning I continued to watch the man with 31. So far I haven’t seen anyone 32 to wave back. I find it interesting that one person can make such a（n） 33 to so many people’s lives by doing one simple thing like waving and smiling warmly. His 34 armed the start of my day. With a friendly wave and smiling face he had changed the 35 of the whole neighbourhood.

16-20 CADBC  21-25 ACBDA  26-30 BCDAB  31-35 CADBD

16. 考查動(dòng)詞。根據(jù)下文，“he and I were strangers”，但是“he waved to me like someone does on seeing a close friend，”所以這不合常理，“present（呈現(xiàn)，呈送）me with a puzzle”。
17. 考查介詞。根據(jù)常識(shí)，人們一見(jiàn)到親密朋友就會(huì)揮手問(wèn)候，on doing sth. “一……就”，故選“on”。
18. 考查形容詞。和上文 a close friend 相照應(yīng)，人們見(jiàn)到朋友會(huì)呈現(xiàn)“燦爛的”笑容，故選bright“歡快的，興高采烈的，燦爛的”。
19. 考查動(dòng)詞。因?yàn)樽髡卟徽J(rèn)識(shí)他，所以作者想努力觀察他的臉以確定是否認(rèn)識(shí)他。study “仔細(xì)端詳，仔細(xì)察看，研究”。
20. 考查動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)。 the crossing guard的熱情與陌生人的身份不符，所以作者認(rèn)為他是誤把自己當(dāng)成了別人。
21. 考查名詞。作者雖然不理解，但還是高興地接受了這一“結(jié)果”conclusion  “結(jié)論，結(jié)果”， description “描述”，evaluation  “評(píng)估，評(píng)價(jià)”，introduction“介紹，引言”。
22. 考查名詞。作者之前只能猜想，認(rèn)為是神秘的事。本題可用排除法，文中不存在argument（爭(zhēng)論、辯論），也沒(méi)有意見(jiàn)上的分歧（disagreement），也不是任務(wù)（task）。
23. 考查動(dòng)詞。 根據(jù)下文Each following car of kids on their way to school 30，可知是作者送兒子前往學(xué)校的路上。approach “靠近，接近”。
24. 考查動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)。 根據(jù)常識(shí)，交警指揮交通會(huì)舉出他的標(biāo)志牌。draw back “撤退，撤回”， put on “穿上”， hand in “上交”， hold out“伸出，拿出，舉出”。
25. 考查連詞。他放下標(biāo)志牌的前提是孩子們到達(dá)馬路的安全區(qū)域，所以選once 引導(dǎo)條件狀語(yǔ)從句。
26. 考查介詞。車(chē)輛是從馬路中間穿過(guò)，只有through 有此意。
27. 考查動(dòng)詞。 和上文A big, 18 smile accompanied his wave 相照應(yīng)。
28. 考查名詞。向別人微笑和揮手都是一種問(wèn)候。
29. 考查形容詞。 根據(jù)上文對(duì)businessman 的描述 stiff-looking(表情刻板的), 所以他的揮手是awkward “笨拙的，不靈活的”，elegant“優(yōu)雅的”，patient “耐心的”。
30. 考查動(dòng)詞。后面的車(chē)輛對(duì)交警的“反應(yīng)”更加開(kāi)心快樂(lè)。本題heartily 是副詞，故排除A、D， 再根據(jù)題意排除C。
31. 考查名詞。作者對(duì)其產(chǎn)生了好感，故會(huì)以感興趣的眼光來(lái)觀察他。
32. 考查動(dòng)詞。 此句是雙重否定，作者沒(méi)見(jiàn)到任何不向這個(gè)交警回以揮手的人。前已有否定詞，只有A選項(xiàng)表否定，fail to do sth.“未能做某事”。
33. 考查名詞在固定短語(yǔ)中的意思辨析。 “make a difference” means “to have an important effect on a thing or a situation”(有影響，使不同)。sacrifice（犧牲）不合題意。
34. 考查名詞。 effectiveness “有效性”，cheerfulness “快樂(lè)，開(kāi)朗，欣然熱情”， carefulness“細(xì)心”，seriousness“嚴(yán)肅”。
35. 考查名詞和動(dòng)詞搭配。他改變了鄰里之間的“感情”，本題考查動(dòng)賓搭配，其他三項(xiàng)都不能做“改變”的賓語(yǔ)。

A letter to Edward, a columnist（報(bào)刊專(zhuān)欄作家）
Dear Mr Expert:
I grew up in an unhappy and abusive home. I always promised myself that I’d get out as soon as possible. Now, at age 20, I have a good job and a nice house, and I’m really proud of the independence I’ve achieved.
Here’s the problem: several of my friends who still live with their parents wish they had places like mine — so much so that they make mine theirs.
It started out with a couple of them spending the weekends with me. But now they seem to take it for granted that they can show up any time they like. They bring boyfriends over, talk on the phone and stay out forever.
I enjoy having my friends here sometimes — it makes the place feel comfortable and warm— but this is my home, not a party house. I was old enough to move out on my own, so why can’t I seem to ask my friends to respect my privacy（隱私）?
Joan
Edward’s reply to Joan
Dear Joan:
If your family didn’t pay attention to your needs when you were a child, you probably have trouble letting others know your needs now.
And if you’ve gathered your friends around you to rebuild a happy family atmosphere（氣氛）,you may fear that saying no will bring back the kind of conflict you grew up with— or destroy the nice atmosphere you now enjoy. You need to understand that in true friendship it’s okay to put your own needs first from time to time.
Be clear about the message you want to send. For example, “I really love your company but I also need some privacy. So please call before you come over.”
63. We can learn from the first letter that Joan Edward        .
A. lives away from her parents
B. takes pride in her friends
C. knows Mr Expert quite well
D. hates her parents very much
64. We can infer from the first letter that        .
A. Joan considers her friends more important than her privacy
B. Joan’s friends visit her more often than she can accept
C. Joan doesn’t like the parties at all
D. Joan dislikes the boyfriends her friends bring over
65. According to Mr Expert, why can’t Joan tell her friends her feelings?
A. She is afraid of hurting her friends.
B. She does not understand true friendship.
C. Her family experience stops her from doing so.
D. She does not put her needs first.
66. The underlined word “conflict” in the second letter means      .
A. dependent life    B. fierce fight C. bad manners      D. painful feeling
67. The second letter suggests that Mr Expert        .
A. is worried about Joan’s problem      B. warns Joan not to quarrel with her friends

“Old wives tales” are beliefs passed down from one generation to another, For example, most of us remember our patents’ telling us to eat more of certain foods or not to do certain things.

When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance, the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment, but certainly not an education priority（優(yōu)先）. This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students.
Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well ad the social environment it came influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from  American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society.
Music provides a kind of perception（感知）that cannot be acquired any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotive（情感的）meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.
The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our hungers, our discoveries, our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.
Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love.
So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.
小題1:According to Paragraph 1, students
A．regard music as a way of entertainment
B．disagree with their parents on education
C．view music as an overlooked subject
D．prefer the arts to science
小題2:In Paragraph 2, the author uses jazz an example to
A．compare it with rock music
B．show music identifies a society
C．introduce American musical traditions
D．prove music influences people’s lifestyles
小題3:According to the passage, the arts and science      .
A. approach the world from different angles
B. explore different phenomena of the world
C express people’s feelings in different ways
D. explain what it means to be human differently
小題4:What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Music education deserves more attention.
B．Music should be of top education priority.
C．Music is an effective communication tool.
D．Music education makes students more imaginative.

Along a long path we came to a deep valley, on the far side of which the path led into some very thick bushes. Rather than push through up again and rejoin the path on the far side of the bushes.
As I climbed down into the valley a bird flew off h rock on which I had put my hand. On looking at the spot from which the bird had risen, I saw two eggs. They were the kind that I did not have in my collection, so I placed them carefully in my bag, wrapped in a little dry grass.
As we went further down the valley the sides became steeper and not far from where I had entered. It came to drop of about twelve to fourteen feet. The water that rushed down all these small valleys in the rainy season had worn the rock as glass. As it was too deep to climb down, I handed my gun to one of the men and slid down it. My feet had hardly touched the sandy bottom when the two men jumped down, one on each side of me. They quickly gave me the gun and asked me if I had heard the tiger. In fact, I had heard nothing; possibly because of the noise I made sliding down the rock. The men said they had heard a tiger growling somewhere nearby, but they did not know from which direction the noise had come.

“In our time,” Marx once wrote, “change is upon the world and cannot be stopped as we wish. The thing now is to understand it.” Marx devoted his life to understanding that change.
Born in Trier in 1818, he came from a rich, middle—class family. Many of his relatives believed in Judaism,but his father had changed to believe in Protestantism(新教) in order to become a lawyer. After studying at the universities of Bonn and Berlin, Marx became interested in politics in his early twenties and in 1848 wrote The Communist Manifesto, together with his life-long friend Friedrich Engels.
Revolution broke out throughout Europe in 1848 and Marx was forced to leave Germany when it failed in 1849. He moved to London, where he spent the rest of his life, working in the British Museum.
His stay in the house in Dean Street in Soho was a time of great hardship for Marx and his family. He was surviving almost on the money provided by Engels and on the very little money he earned as the foreign reporter for a newspaper in New York.
Three of his six children died during the time in Soho and, Marx even had to borrow money in order to bury one of them. Only when Marx’s wife Jenny got 120 pounds after her mother died was the family able to move out of Soho and into a slightly better house in Kentish Town.
Marx died on March 14th ,1883, and was buried in Highgate Cemetery in north London.
60．Why did Karl Marx’s father change his belief from Judaism to Protestantism?
A．For his son’s education.                     B．For his career development.
C．Not to be looked down on.                    D．To move to another country.
61．Why did Karl Max leave Germany?
A．He was offered a job by the British Museum.    B．He couldn’t find work in Germany.
C．The political situation was very dangerous for him.   D．He wanted to write a book.
62．Which of the following statements is true?
A．Karl Marx lived a happy life in Soho, London
