第二节：完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）
阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从21-40各题所给的四个选项的，选出最佳选项。
I arrived in the classroom, ready to share my knowledge and experience with 75 students who would be my English Literture class. Having taught in 21 for 17 years, I had no 22 about my ability to hold their attention and to 23 on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue.
I was shocked when the monitor shouted, “ 24!”The entire class rose as I entered the room, and I was somewhat 25 about how to get them to sit down again, but once that awkwardness(尴尬)was over, I quickly 26 my calmness and began what I thought was a fact-packed lecture, sure to gain their respect-perhaps 27 their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow which comes from a sense of achievement.
My students 28 diaries.However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually 29 by a stong sense of sadness. The first diary said, “Our literature teacher didn`t teach us anything today. 30 her next lecture will be better.”Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a 31 theme（主题）.“Didn`t I teach them anything?I described the entire philosophical（哲学的）framework of Western thought and laid the historical 32 for all the works we`ll study in class,”I complained.“How33 they say I didn`t teach them anything?”
It was a long term, and it 34 became clear that my ideas about edcation were not the same as 35 of my students. I thought a teacher`s job was to raise 36 questions and provide enough background so that students could 37 their own conclusions. My students thought a teacher`s job was to provide 38 information as directly and clearly as possible. What a difference!
39 ,I also learned a lot, and my experience with my Chinese students has made me a 40 American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.
( )21、A.the UK B.the US C.China D.Australia
( )22、A.worry B.idea C.doubt D.experience
( )23、A.impress B.put C.leave D.fix
( )24、A.Attention B.Look out C.At ease D.Stand up
( )25、A.puzzled B.sure C.curious D.worried
( )26、A.found B.returned C.regained D.followed
( )27、A.more B.even C.yet D.still
( )28、A.passed B.borrowed C.kept D.read
( )29、A.replaced B.taken C.caught D.moved
( )30、A.Naturally B.Perhaps C.Fortunately D.Reasonably
( )31、A.different B.strong C.similar D.usual
( )32、A.happenings B.characters C.developmentD.background
( )33、A.should B.need C.will D.must
( )34、A.immediately B.certainly C.simply D.gradually
( )35、A.that B.what C.those D.ones

第二部分：阅读理解（共25小题；第一节每小题2分，第二节每小题2分，满分50分）
第一节：阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项。
A
Susan Williams went to a boarding school（寄宿学校）. Here is one of the letters she wrote to her parents from the school.
Dear Mom and Dad,
I’m afraid I have some very bad news for you. I have been very naughty and the school principal is very angry with me. She is going to write to you. You must come and take me away from here. She does not want me in the school any longer.
The trouble started last night when I was smoking a cigarette in bed. This is against the rules, of course. We are not supposed to smoke at all.
As I was smoking, I heard footsteps coming towards the room. I did not want a teacher to catch me smoking, so I threw the cigarette away. Unfortunately, the cigarette fell into the waste-paper basket, which caught fire. There was a curtain near the waste-paper basket which caught fire, too. Soon the whole room was burning. The principal phoned for the fire department. The school is a long way from the town and by the time the fire department arrived, the whole school was in flames. Many of the girls are in the hospital.
The principal says that the fire was all my fault and you must pay for the damage. She will send you a bill for about a million dollars.
I am very sorry about this.
Much love, Susan.
P.S. None of the above is true, but I have failed my exams. I just want you to know how bad things could have been!

B
At a hospital in Illinois, doctors and patients dress up as clowns (小丑) and put on little plays to make each other laugh. A hospital in New York puts funny books in its library for patients.
Can laughter make sick people feel better?
Yes, say scientists. Laughter is no laughing matter. Scientists think laughter can help sick people feel less pain and get better more quickly. This new idea is being taught to students in medical school.
Doctors have known for a long time that stress and loneliness, lack of friends and family can harm sick people. Now they are learning that laughter can help put people on the road to recovery.
Scientists discovered that laughter gives the body a healthy form of exercise. Also, laughter set free a chemical in the body that speeds healing.
Some doctors are using this new research to make their patients feel like a million dollars. At a California hospital, people who have cancer tell each other funny stories and perform with a famous actor who has had cancer surgery (手术).
Laughter can be good medicine.

C
He has lived through various dangers but time may be running out for the Palestinian（巴勒斯坦） leader ,Yasser Arafat（阿拉法特）.
On September 11, Israel announced its decision to remove him ,following several Palestinian suicide bomb attacks on Israel. “He should be punished for the killings ,” an Israeli official said, “He has done nothing to stop the terrorist groups.”
But the decision has angered many other countries. China said that Arafat is the true leader ,elected by the Palestinian people, and removing him would harm the peace in the Middle East .This idea is shared by other governments.
Arafat himself said: “They can kill me ,but never get me out of my country.” He has spent most of his life in danger as the most important aim of Israel. But ,just like a cat with nine lives ,Arafat escaped every time.
For years he has made a practice of sleeping in a different bed each night ,thinking a moving person is harder to hit .In 1985 ,Israel sent fighter planes to kill Arafat .The wild bombing destroyed his office in Tunis but Arafat himself was unhurt .In 1992, the aircraft in which he was flying over north Africa broke in two during a crash landing. The pilot was killed but he managed to remain alive.
What is so unbelievable is that he always remains calm in great danger.
Israeli tanks and planes attacked his office building in Ramallah in December ,2001.When they saw the attackers coming ,Arafat’s bodyguards ignored his orders to stay still and carried him to safety underground .Seconds later ,several bombs were dropped nearby. Though safe ,his bodyguards were so frightened that they were wet in sweat .
But ,Arafat ,with Israeli tanks only 200 meters away , showed no fear at all .He stayed in the damaged office ,talking by phone with foreign leaders in the hope of preventing further attacks from Israel.
All these experiences have made him a beloved leader to his people and an enemy to some others.
But has he used up the last of his nine lives? Only time will tell.
49．Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．Israeli officers thought Arafat himself sent the terrorist groups to Israel.
B．Arafat is not afraid of death in face of his enemy.
C．Being a Palestinian leader ,Arafat would rather die in his own country than be driven
away from his people.
D．China is one of the countries which are against Israel’s decision of removing Arafat.
50．What did the author mean by saying “just like a cat has nine lives” when he talked about
Arafat?
A．Arafat can live as long as a cat .
B．Arafat can stay alive after accidents or disasters as if he has nine lives.
C．Arafat should have died for at least 8 times.
D．Arafat is so wise that he can escape deaths as quickly as a cat.
51．The underlined word “ignored” means .
A．disliked B．paid much attention to
C．too no notice of D．carried out
52．What does the writer think of Arafat’s future?
A．Hopeful. B．Promising. C．Satisfactory. D．Doubtful.
B
Are the British people Europeans ?This may seem a strange question to Africans and Asians ,who tend to think of all white men as Europeans .But the British, when they are in Britain ,do not regard themselves as Europeans .The Europeans ,to them, are those rather excitable foreigners from the other side of the English Channel ,who have never learnt how to speak English .Europe is “the Continent” : a place full of interest for English tourists ,but also the source of almost all the wars in which Britain has ever been involved. Thus ,although geographically speaking Britain is a part of Europe, yet the fact that it is a separate island has made its people feel very ,very insular（具岛国性的）.They feel ,and in many ways are ,different from the rest of Europe ,and they sometimes annoy continental nations by failing to support them ,or even to understand them ,in time of need.
Where did the British people come from ?This is an extraordinary interesting question, since they are a mixture of many different races ,and all these races invaded（入侵） Britain at various times from Europe .Nobody knows very much about Britain before the Romans came during the first century BC, but there had been at least three invasions before that .The first of these was by a dark-haired Mediterranean（地中海）race called Iberians. The other two were by Celtic tribes (部落):first the Gaels ,whose descendants （后裔）are the modern Scots and Irish ,some of whom still speak the Gaelic language ;and secondly the Britons ,who gave their name to the whole island of Britain. These were the people whom the Romans conquered（征服）.The Romans gave the Britons a good deal of civilization, but they never settled in Britain in very large numbers ,so the British race survived（生存下来）until the overthrow（推翻） of the Roman Empire by the “barbarians”, ie , the numerous （大量的）Germanic tribes which overran the whole of Western Europe.
53．The purpose of the passage is to .
A．talk about Europeans
B．discuss the origin（起源）of British people
C．argue for the superiority（优越性）of British people
D．compare the Europeans with Africans and Asians
54．It can be known from the passage that .
A．most people think white people are Europeans
B．there are many Africans and Asians living in Europe
C．white men are Europeans in the eyes of Africans and Asians
D．the British people think of themselves as Europeans
55．It can be inferred from the passage that .
A．Europeans are those who are unable to speak English
B．those who invaded Britain came from the other side of the English Channel
C．Britain is a place full of interest for those excitable foreigners
D．Britain is the source of almost all the wars in Europe
56．Why do the British people feel very insular?
A．They are different from those people in the Continent
B．They sometimes fail to support the continent countries in time of need
C．They are separated geographically from the Continent
D．They are considered difficult to understand

作文Dear Sir,
I’m a student of senior 3. I am writing to tell you about the discussion we’ve had about whether to board in the school or at home. At the beginning of this term, my parents and teachers asked me to board in the school. They say it will be very convenient for me to ask questions whenever and wherever. Besides, they think boarding will make it possible to make full of use of my night time, and that I can also develop the ability to look after myself. However, I have my own thought. Staying at home in the evening, I will have more time to work at my lessons. At the same time, I can learn what I think I’m not good at. I really don’t know what to do. Please give me your advice!
Yours, LiHua
