An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money left.

"We don’t 28 miracles here, child. I’m sorry," the chemist said, smiling 29 at the little girl.
In the shop was a 30 customer. He stopped down and asked the little girl, "What kind of miracle does your brother 31?" "I don’t know," she replied. "He’s really sick and mommy says he needs 32. But my daddy can’t pay for it, so I have brought my 33."
"How much do you have?" asked the man.
"One dollar and eleven cents 34 I can try and get some more," she answered quietly.
"Well, what a coincidence," smiled the man. "A dollar and eleven cents — the 35 price of a miracle for your brother. 36 me to where you live. I want to see your brother and 37 your parents."

第二部分:阅读理解(第一节20小题, 第二节5小题; 每小题2分, 满分50分)
第一节: 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项(A,B,C,D)中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑.
A
What should you think about when you try to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work.. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value.
Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at mental work or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills.
If you have had a part - time job on Saturday or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part - time job.
Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not feel sorry about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work..
41．The first paragraph of the passage is mainly about ________.
A. the indirect value of school work B. the importance of being good at all subjects
C. knowing one’s strong or weak subjects at school
D. using school performance to help to choose a career
42．In the writer’s opinion, for a student to have a part - time job is probably ________.
A. a good way to find out his weak points B. one of the best ways of earning extra money
C. of great use for his work in the future D. a waste of time he could have spent on study
43．If a student’s school record is not good, according to the passage, he________ .
A. may do well in his future work B. won’t be able to find a suitable job
C. may be a complete failure in the future D. will regret not having worked harder at school
44．The whole passage centers on ________.
A. knowing oneself in looking for a job B. developing one’s abilities useful in school
C. gaining much knowledge by working hard at school
D. choosing a career according to what one is skilled in
B
Have you ever been in a meeting while someone was making a speech and realized suddenly that your mind was a million miles away? You probably felt sorry and made up your mind to pay attention and never have daydreaming again. Most of us, from earliest school days, have been told that daydreaming is a waste of time.
"On the contrary, "says L. Giambra, an expert in psychology, "daydreaming is quite necessary. Without it, the mind couldn't get done all the thinking it has to do during a normal day... You can't possibly do all your thinking with a conscious mind. Instead, your unconscious mind is working out problems all the time. Daydreaming then may be one way that the unconscious and conscious states of mind have silent dialogues. "
Early experts in psychology paid no attention to the importance of daydreams or even considered them harmful. Eric Klinger, a professor of psychology, is the writer of the book Daydreaming. Klinger says, "We know now that daydreaming is one of the main ways that we organize our lives, learn from our experiences, and plan for our futures. Day dreams really are a window on the things we fear and the things we long for in life. "
Daydreams are usually very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand. Daydreams help you recognize the difficult situations in your life and find out a possible way of handling them.
Daydreams cannot be predicted; they move off in unexpected directions which may be creative and full of useful ideas. For many famous artists and scientists, daydreams were and are a main source of creative energy.
So the next time you catch yourself daydreaming, don't stop. Just pay attention to your dream. It may be more important than you think.
45. The writer of the passage considers daydreams _____ .
A. hard to understand B important and helpful
C. unimportant and harmful D the same as sleep dreams
46. The writer quoted L.Giambra and Eric Klinger to __________.
A. point out the wrong ideas of early experts B. list two different ideas
C. support his own idea D. report the latest research on daydreams
47. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. An unconscious mind can work all the problems out
B. Daydreaming can give artists and scientists ideas for creation
C. Professor Eric Klinger has a better idea than L.Giambra
D. Early experts didn’t understand what daydreams were.
48. What is the main difference between daydreams and sleep dreams ?
A. People have daydreams and sleep dreams at different times
B. Daydreams are the result of unconscious mind while sleep dreams are that of conscious mind
C. Daydreams are more harmful D. Daydreams are more helpful in solving problems
C
Nowadays it is no surprise that many students carry little electronic dictionaries. Think of it. That huge, heavy paper dictionary that you used to see in your library looked like a building block in size and weight, yet someone has found a way to change all of that into a plastic box smaller than a video cassette tape.
E－dictionaries may be light and compact(简洁的),more so than any paper dictionary. They may even contain more words and expressions. It depends on which one you buy. To me, these are pretty much the limits to their advantages. I think e－dictionaries should be limited in their use in classrooms. Let’s take a look at some reasons.
E－dictionaries are much more expensive. In Japan, they cost as little as 10 000 yen(US$100) or as much as 40 000 yen, depending on how many functions you want (or think you want) and depending on how fashionable you are. My trusty Random House paper dictionary is copyrighted at 1995, cost me a mere US$12.95 plus tax.
E－dictionaries are more fragile(易碎的).Drop your paper dictionary. Go ahead. Hold it above your head and drop it. Now, trying this with any lightweight plastic e-dictionary, and you’ll be picking up the pieces.
E－dictionaries need batteries. Batteries are temperature sensitive. Batteries cost money, too.
E－dictionaries have keypads. Typing in the spelling of a word is harder and more time consuming than looking through pages and using the index at the top of each page.
Let me add a statement about one that really troubles me. Sound. Little devices beep(嘟嘟声) when you press the buttons, but it is very disturbing to some people in a classroom situation or library.
Finally, let’s consider making corrections or additions. No dictionary is perfect, paper version or electronic. However, when you find something you’d like to change in the e-dictionary, you can’t do anything about it. You can pencil in some notes with the paper type. Similarly, if you learn a word that isn’t in the dictionary, a few notes of a pencil make it easy to increase its memory capacity. But not possible with a keypad model. And, for those students whose habit is to mark certain words with a highlight pen for ease of future reference, again, the paper dictionary wins out.
49. What’s the main idea of the text?
A. The advantages and disadvantages of e-dictionaries from the author’s point of view.
B. Electronic items are a way of life in Japan. C. It’s fashionable to carry little e-dictionaries.
D. The bad effect of using e-dictionaries on students and teachers.
50. How many disadvantages of e－dictionaries does the author address in the text?
A.4. B.6. C.8. D.10.
51. What does the author hate most of all the disadvantages?
A. Not possible to make additions. B. Too expensive to buy e－dictionaries and batteries
C. Wasting more time looking up words. D. Making sound when pressing the buttons.
52. What is the greatest advantage of the paper dictionary compared with the e-dictionary?
A. Containing more words and expressions. B. More light and compact to carry.
C. Making corrections or additions for future reference. D. Costing less money.
D
Imagine yourself in a small airplane 3,300 meters above the ground. The engines roar in your ears as you move towards the open door. Then you’re outside, falling with the wind whipping past your ears. As the ground rushes up at you, you open your parachute. It explodes over your head, jerking you back and upwards. All in all, you were in free fall for only 30 seconds—the
longest 30 seconds of your life.
For most of us, skydiving is something we only see in the movies, but a growing number of adventures are taking the plunge. Obviously, skydiving isn’t something you can just try, like fishing or bowling. So, if you want to attempt the sport, you’ll need to go to ground school.
Ground school is where you learn to jump, without leaving the ground. The course is taught by licensed skydiving instructors who have been jumping for years. They’ll teach you how to keep your body position stable. You’ll also learn to be constantly aware of your altitude and, most importantly, when to open your parachute.
Once you’re through with ground school, it’s time to get up in the air. However, a new jumper never jumps alone. Two instructors always jump with the person, ready to pull the student’s parachute open if he— or she — freezes up.
No doubt, you’re thinking skydiving is a dangerous sport. It certainly seems dangerous when you’re watching someone fall at 200km/rh. But, if you believe the statistics, skydiving is actually safer than driving, with one fatality(死亡)occurring in approximately 60,000 jumps. Moreover, most enthusiasts agree all fear stops the second your feet leave the plane, and when you land, the only thought in your mind is,” Wow! I want to do that again!”
53. As a whole, the first paragraph is_____.
A. informative B. descriptive C. instructive D. persuasive
54. The underlined phrase “taking the plunge”(in paragraph 2) means .
A. avoiding doing something important B. starting talk about something
C. deciding to do something risky. D. thinking about something first.
55. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Skydiving is an extremely dangerous sport.
B. New jumpers can jump alone at ground school.
C. New jumpers possibly fail to open the parachute.
D. skydiving instructors teach you how to make the parachute.
56. The best title for this passage would be ________.
A. Skydiving, an Extremely Sport. B. Ground School for Skydiving.
C. Instructors Teaching Skydiving. D. Enthusiasts for Skydiving.

LONDON(Reuters)—A French woman who had the world’s first partial face transplant has spoken of her amazement at seeing her new appearance, the Daily Mail newspaper said on Saturday.
The 38-year-old woman experienced the operation to give her a new nose, chin and mouth at a hospital in the northern French city of Amiens last month.
“When I looked at my new face, I knew straight away that it was me,” the paper quoted the woman, who was damaged after her dog injured her badly, as saying. “It was simply amazing to see a nose and mouth on my face.”
The woman, who is recovering in a hospital in Lyon, told the paper that the dog attack had left her so damaged that she had been forced to wear a mask.
People in the street would recoil from her in horror, she said, and even one of her own two daughters found her appearance unbearable. “Old people were the worst, they used to stop and stare at me all the time,” she said, “My elder daughter Lucie just didn’t want to see me—I had to wear a mask. If I didn’t she refused to see me.”
Earlier this week the woman asked journalists to respect her privacy after her operation attracted the media.
The paper said the woman now wanted to live a normal life but was worried about what reaction there might be when she leaves hospital.
57. What made the French woman so disfigured?
A. Her falling over. B. A big fire. C. A car accident. D. Her pet’s attack.
58. The underlined word “recoil” in paragraph 5 probably means_____________.
A. laugh at B. move back C. whisper D. scream
69. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the text?
A. The operation on the woman proved successful.
B. The woman felt amazed when she saw her new face.
C. The media have reported a lot about the woman and the operation.
D. Before operation, the people who hate to meet her most were her husband and children.
60. It can be inferred from the text that_________.
A. the woman may still be the focus of attention for some time
B. the woman will never live a normal life after the operation
C. the woman doesn’t care the journalists’ disturbing of her privacy
D. the woman still needs to wear a mask

A Ten—minute Break
As a Senior Three student, time seems much limited. As a result, more and more students try to study from early morning till late afternoon, even during the ten-minute break. In my opinion, to take a ten-minute break between classes is necessary. Otherwise we will feel tired both physically and mentally.
During the ten-minute break, we can do something to get rid of tiredness. What we need is to have a real rest, instead of getting more tired. So doing nothing tiring in that period is really good for us.
My ten-minute break is always pleasing. Sometimes I do some simple exercises. Sometimes I have a free chat with my classmates or just take a walk outside. When the next class begins, I feel fresh again.
