My first performance in front of an audience was coming up soon.
I tried as hard as I could to remain 21, but I had an empty feeling in my stomach. I stared down at my sweat covered, 22 hands.
I looked up again at the audience, realizing that these were 23 people. They were not just my mum and dad, who 24 say, "Good job!" even if I messed up the entire piece.
What if I had the wrong music? What if I played the wrong notes?
As it 25, I was never able to answer these questions because the spotlight was 26 for me. I grasped my hands tightly together, drying off the sweat.
Slowly I walked to the mulberry piano in the 27 of the room. It contained 88 demanding keys, which were waiting impatiently to be played．I swallowed the golfball-sized lump（隆起的） in my throat and sat down. 28, I opened the music．Next, I rested my still shaking hands on the ivory keys.
As my fingers played across the keys, I was becoming more 29 of my preparation for this moment. But the memory of my year of training came flooding back. I knew that I had practiced this piece 30 that I could play it backwards if 31 .
Although at one point I accidentally played two keys 32 the intended one, I continued to move my fingers automatically （自动的）. YCY
My eyes burned holes into the page in front of me.
There was no 33 that I was going to lose my concentration. To keep this promise to myself, I leaned 34 and focused carefully on the music．
35 1 came to the end of the page, a warning 36 inside my head: DON' T MAKE A MISTAKE WHEN YOU TURN THE PAGE!
Needless to say, I 37 myself with all my heart and mind．And, proud of my "page- turning" feat（技艺） I finished the 38 of the piece without making a single mistake.
After the final note died away, a celebration went into action 39 my head．1 had finished．I had mastered （征服）the 40.

IV.阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
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。
A
Getting paid to talk about the World Cup is a great job. I' m not a football commentator (评论员), though --just an English teacher in Japan.
I came to Japan two years ago, and didn' t think I would stay, but Japan has that effect on you. People often end up living here longer than they planned. I think it' s best to teach, in a bigger city where there are other foreigners to mix with, rather than a small town where English teachers often complain of feeling like a goldfish in a bowl. Many people choose to live in Tokyo, of course, which is good for tile nightlife factor. But I' d say that for general quality of living, cities of neither too large nor too small, like Sapporo where I live, are better choices.
I teach English privately, which means I' m my own boss. If you want to devote yourself to private teaching, it's well worth doing a TEFL course first, because your lessons will be much better for it. The problem with private teaching is finding students; it took me a year to build up a full schedule (日程表) of private lessons, so I started out teaching in schools part-time.
Most of my foreign friends here work full-time for big English conversation schools. The salary is fine to live on, but whether you can save money depends on how much going out and traveling you do here.
The schools are reluctant to take time off -- even teachers with tickets for the England-Argentina game had trouble getting the day off.
41. From the passage we know in Japan the writer likes to live in ________.
A. Tokyo B. a small town C. a city of middle size D. a big city
42. According to the writer, one had better ________ first to do private teaching better.
A. take a TEFL course B. decide his or her own lessons
C. find students D. build up a full schedule
43. The underlined sentence in the second paragraph implies that ________.
A. there are many foreigners in Japan B. Japan is good for nightlife
C. they can teach English privately in Japan
D. Japan has something more attractive than expected
44. The underlined word "reluctant" in the passage may probably mean ________.
A. kind B. unwilling C. free D. careless
B
As skies are filled with millions of migrating(迁徙) birds, European scientists say the seasonal wonder appears to be strange: The fatter the bird, the better it flies.
The results of their study led to a theory opposite to a central one of aerodynamics (空气动力学), which says that the power needed to fly increases with weight.
For birds, obviously, the cost of flying with heavy fat is much smaller than we used to think. Researchers found that red knot wading birds double their normal body weight of 100 grams before making their twice-a-year nonstop flight between the British Isles and the Russian Arctic. Distance: 5,000 kilometers.
Another study in the magazine Nature measured the advantage of flying in an aerodynamic group which allows birds to save energy by flying smoothly and quietly in the lead bird' s air stream.
Flying in groups, their heart rates were 14.5 percent lower than flying alone, according to Henri, a French scientist. The findings help explain how birds complete difficult migrations. Researchers had thought that thinner, stronger birds would have the best chance to survive.
The first study suggests that building up fat to be burnt as fuel during the migration is worth more than the energy it takes to carry the additional weight.
In the study, researchers said their team studied the birds flown at different body weights during 28 simulated(模拟的) flights. They forced a small amount of special water into the birds' bodies so that they could measure the ammount of energy burnt during the flight.
45. A red knot wading bird of 100 grams will probably weigh ________ before making its nonstop migrating flight.
A. 50 grams B. 100 grams C. 150 grams D. 200 grams
46. During their migrating flight, red knot wading birds can save energy by flying
A. separately B. alone C. in groups D. in pairs
47. A ________ red knot wading bird has a better chance to survive during its migrating flight.
A. stronger B. weaker C. thinner D. fatter
48. The best title for this passage may probably be ________.
A. Birds Thin Down For Journey B. Birds Fatten Up For Journey
C. How Birds Build Up Fat For Journey D. How Birds Burn Energy For Journey
C
Alexis was hot and tired. With rage(愤怒) in her voice she shouted," Pull me up. I give up. I hate this. This is stupid!'' It was at that moment when Jason, the adviser on the trip ,looked at me and said," Ed, I'm going to go down and talk with her. "I then shouted down to Alexis," Hold on! You can do this. We know you can !"
Jason grasped another rope, put this climbing harness(系带)on and began to move down the cliff. Within moments Jason was beside Alexis. She had her cheek directly against the face of the rock with her feet barely resting on a small piece of the cliff that jetted outward. Jason said to Alexis," I know that you have been on this cliff now for what seems like a long time. Your feet and fingers are cramping(痉挛)up and your forearms feel as though they are on fire. But, Alexis, you are strong. Look how far up you are already. You have taken one of the more difficult parts up the cliff. Alexis, look al the path you have taken."
At that moment, Alexis moved her cheek away from the rock face and looked down. The bright white chalk she used on her hands to give her a better hold, showed the path where her tired hands had moved her upward on the cliff. Jason was right. Alexis had taken the hardest way up the cliff. Jason then looked straight into Alexis' eyes and in a calm voice he said, "You are. not alone out here. There are people who care about you, who want to help you and see you succeed. We are going to this together. Are you ready?" Slowly she nodded and took a deep breath.
49. Jason went down the cliff because ___________.
A. Alexis took a wrong path B. Alexis was trapped in rocks
C. Alexis didn't believe in herself D. Alexis' forearms were badly hurt

A. Alexis was finally pulled up by Ed
B. Alexis regretted having taken the wrong path up the cliff
C. Alexis was immediately sent to hospital 'after she was pulled up
D. Alexis successfully rock-climbed
51. The underlined word "hot" in the story means ___________.
A. disappointed B. angry C. uncomfortable D. running a high body temperature
52. Alexis would probably become ___________.
A. more strong-minded B. easier to give up
C. poorer in health D. less interested in rock-climbing

Among the four skills in learning English, which one of these is the “odd-man-out”? The answer is speaking. The other three you can do alone on your own. But you can’t really speak alone! Speaking to yourself can be “dangerous” because men in white coats may come and take you away!
Where can you find people to speak English? And how can you practise speaking when you are alone?
At school If you pay to go to a language school, you should use the opportunity to speak.If your teacher asks you to speak in pairs or groups with other students, try to say as much as possible. Don’t worry about your mistakes. Just speak!
Conversation Clubs Many cities around the world have conversation clubs where people can exchange one language for another. Look in your local newspaper to find a conversation club near you. They are usually free although some may charge a small entrance fee.
Shopping Even if you don’t want to buy anything, you can ask questions about products that interest you in a shop. “How much does this cost?” “Can I pay by cheque?” Often you can start a real conversation—and it costs you nothing!
Cafe and Bars There are often American, Britain, Irish and Australian bars in many large cities. If you can find one, you’ll probably meet many people speaking English as a first or second language.
Language is all around you Everywhere you go, you find language. Shop names, street names, advertisements, notices, and car numbers…When you walk down the street, practise reading the words and numbers that you see. Say them to yourself. It’s not exactly a conversation, but it will help you to “think” in English. But don’t speak too loud!
Songs and Video Repeat the words of an English-language song singing with the music until it becomes automatic. It’s good practice for your memory and for the mouth muscles that you need for English.
Above all, speak as much as possible! Make as many mistakes as possible! When you know that you have made a mistake, you know that you have made progress!
57.What does “odd-man-out” probably mean according to the passage?
A. Someone or something appearing different from the others.
B. Someone or something standing out of the group.
C. Someone or something arranged in pairs.
D. Someone or something that can be easily mistaken for another.
58.What might happen if you speak to yourself loudly in public?
A. The police will take you away and punish you.
B. The doctors will force you to stay in hospital.
C. You will have to pay to escape being punished.
D. You will be forbidden to be member of the club.
59.In which places can you learn English NOT free of charge?
A. At school, in conversation clubs and cafe and bars.
B. At school, in shops and cafe bars.
C. In conversation clubs, shops, songs and video.
D. In conversation clubs and in the streets.
60.Why does the writer say “Make as many mistakes as possible”? Because _____________.
A. everyone will make mistakes in learning English
B. everyone will meet people speaking English with some mistakes
C. making mistakes is a must in making progress in learning English
D. making mistakes can make one realize the importance of speaking

Firstly, they should be polite and friendly to the athletes and visitors from all over the world, and avoid improper behaviour. Secondly, they should stick to their posts, offering hood services, satisfying any reasonable needs and being ready to help those in difficulty, and never fail to do their duty. Thirdly, they should introduce the Chinese culture and history to foreigners so that they may know China better, and never say or do anything that harms the image of our motherland.
If I have the honour to be chosen as a volunteer, besides the above, I will work hard and creatively, but never be lazy. I will follow the law and discipline, but never break them. I will take the opportunity to make friends with the athletes and visitors, and help make the 2008 Olympic Games a great success.
