As a teenager, I felt I was always letting people down. I was rebellious（反叛的）on the outside, 36 on the inside I wanted people to 37 me.
Once I left home to hitchhike (搭便车) to California with my friend Penelope. The trip wasn’t 38 , and there were many times I didn’t feel safe. One situation in particular 39 me grateful to still be alive. When I returned home, I was different — not so outwardly sure of myself.
I was happy to be home. But then I noticed that Penelope, who was 40 with us, was wearing my clothes. And my 41 seemed to like her better than me. I wondered if I would be 42 if I weren’t there. I told my mom, and she explained that 43 Penelope was a lovely girl, no one could 44 me. I pointed out, "She is more patient and is neater than I have ever been." My mom said these were wonderful 45 , but I was the only person who could fill my 46. She made me realize that even with my 47, — and they were many —I was a loved member of the family who couldn’t be replaced.
I became a searcher,48 who I was and what made me unique（独特的）. My 49 of myself was changing. I wanted a solid base to start from. I started to resist (抵制) pressure to 50 in ways that I didn’t like any more, and I 51 who I really was. I came to feel much more 52 that no one can ever take my place. x

第三部分 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A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
LONDON — Life for Cathy Hagner and her three children is set to permanent(永久的) fast-forward.
Their full school day and her job as a lawyer's assistant are busy enough. But Hanger also has to take the two boys to soccer or hockey or basketball while dropping off her daughter at piano lessons or Girl Scout Club.
Often, the exhausted family doesn't get home until 7 pm. There is just time for a quick supper before homework. In today's world, middle-class American and British parents treat their children as if they are competitors racing for some finishing line.
Parents take their children from activity to activity in order to make their future bright. It seems that raising a genius has become a more important goal than raising a happy and well-balanced child.
“Doctors across the country are reporting a growing number of children suffering from stomachaches and headaches due to exhaustion and stress,” says child expert William Doherty of the University of Minnesota.
Teachers are dealing with exhausted kids in the classroom. It's a very serious problem. Many children attend after-school clubs by necessity. But competitive pressures also create an explosion of activities. They include sports, language, music and math classes for children as young as four.
“There is a new parenting trend(趋势) under way which says that you have to tap all your child’s potential(潜能) at a young age; otherwise you will let him down,” says Terry Apter, a Cambridge-based child and adolescent psychiatrist(青少年精神病专家).
“It isn't entirely new: there have always been pushy parents. But what was previously(以前) seen as strange behaviour is now well accepted.”
56. From the second paragraph of this passage we can find that _______.
A. Hagner wastes much time helping her children's lessons
B. Hagner doesn't spend much time on her full-time job
C. Hagner is interested in sports and music
D. Hagner busies herself by following a trend
57. British parents, as the writer described in this passage, _______.
A. treat their children as sports players
B. pay no attention to their children's lessons
C. bring up their children in a simple way
D. give their children little time to develop freely
58. The writer's opinion about after-school clubs is that ________.
A. activities in the country are too competitive
B. children should attend four clubs at a time
C. some clubs result in competitive pressures
D. clubs should have more subjects for school children
59. The last paragraph tells us that in Britain _______.
A. parents used to take their children to every club
B. parents used to be wise on how to raise children
C. parents have all benefited from children’s clubs
D. parents have come to know the standard of education
B
Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.
In some modem countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all — one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degree; they refuse to do what they think “low” work; and, in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor; we can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns…
In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that is very bad to be ashamed of one’s work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.
60. The writer of the passage thinks that _______.
A. education can settle most of the world’s problems
B. free education for all probably leads to a perfect world
C. free education won’t help to solve problems
D. all the social problems can’t be solved by education
61. The writer wants to prove that _______.
A. our society needs all kinds of jobs
B. our society needs free education for all
C. a farmer is more important than a professor
D. work with hands is the most important
62. The purpose of education is _______.
A. to choose officials for the country
B. to prepare children mainly for their future work
C. to let everyone receive education fit for him
D. to build a perfect world
63. The passage tells us about _______ of the education.
A. the means B. the system C. the value D. the type
C
For more than six million American children, coming home after school means coming home to an empty house. Some deal with the situation by watching TV. Some may hide. But all of them have something in common. They spend part of each day alone. They are called latchkey children. They’re children who look after themselves while their parents work. And their bad condition has become a subject of concern.
Lynette Long was once the headmaster of an elementary school. She said, “We had a school rule against wearing jewelry. A lot of kids had chains around their necks with keys attached. I was constantly telling them to put them inside shirts. There were so many keys, it never came to my mind what they meant.” Slowly, she learned they were house keys.
She and her husband began talking to the children who had them. They learned of the impact(影响) working couples and single parents were having on their children. Fear is the biggest problem faced by children at home alone. One in each three latchkey children the Longs talked to reported being scared. Many had nightmares and were worried about their own safety.
The most common way latchkey children deal with their fears is by hiding. It might be in a shower stall, under a bed in a closet. The second is TV. They’ll often play it at high volume. It’s hard to get statistics(情况, 材料)on latchkey children, the Longs learned. Most parents are slow to admit they leave their children alone.
64. The main idea about “latchkey children” is that they _______.
A. are growing in numbers
B. are also found in middle-class neighborhoods
C. watch too much television during the day
D. suffer problems from being left alone
65. Which sentence in the second paragraph is the topic sentence?
A. We had a school rule against wearing jewelry.
B. A lot of kids had chains around their necks.
C. I was constantly telling them to put inside their shirts.
D. They were house keys.
66. The main feeling these children have when they are at home by themselves is _______.
A. tiredness B. freedom C. loneliness D. fear
67. We may draw a conclusion that _______.
A. latchkey children enjoy having such a large amount of time alone
B. latchkey children try to hide their feeling
C. latchkey children often watch TV with their parents
D. it’s difficult to find out how many latchkey children there are
D
Doomed beauties such as Cleopatra and Manilyn Monroe were far from alone in their misery. Very attractive people tend to form partnerships that are less stable and satisfying than those enjoyed by plain Janes.
According to research by Dr John Blaine of the University of Southern California, relationships between people whose professions largely depend on their appearances, such as models or actors, tend to end much faster than those between lawyers, doctors or students.
Blaine said the beautiful felt different from childhood. They are treated as special, which may create both arrogance(傲慢) and insecurity. All too often, beauty can be used as an alternative to education. Often they are pushed out of their class or town, told to go off and make their fortune in Hollywood or London and, when the majority fail, they have few talents(才能) to make a living.
Blaine added that beautiful people score poorly on the “big five” — the key factors American experts consider when helping distressed couples. These are neuroticism(神经过敏), including anger and anxiety; extroversion(性格外向); openness to new experiences; agreeableness; and conscientiousness, or sticking by agreements they have made. Attractive people often see no reason to try to change until their looks start to fade.
Krista Sutherland, of the University of California Los Angeles, said partnerships that appeared to be perfect from the outside, such as the former “dream teams” of Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise or Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Hurley, where backgrounds and aspirations(抱负) are often shared, did not necessarily lead to happiness.
68. What does the underlined sentence “Doomed beauties such as Cleopatra and Manilyn Monroe were far from alone in their misery.” means?
A. Beautiful women always felt lonely.
B. Beautiful women always were alone.
C. Many beautiful women didn’t end up with a happy life.
D. Beautiful women always lived a happy life.
69. The underlined phrase “plain Janes” in the passage refer to ________.
A. ordinary-looking women B. women called Jane
C. common people D. attractive women
70. We can infer in the passage that ________.
A. Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Hurley were a couple
B. Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise were very satisfied with their life
C. When they fail in Hollywood, the beautiful have little trouble in making a living
D. The marriage of the beautiful often last long
71. Which of the following is the best title?
A. Five key factors affecting the partnership
B. Beauties are doomed to fail in love
C. Beauties or common? D. The beautiful are different.

With only about 1, 000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone(克隆) the animal and save the endangered species(物种). That’s similar to what Texas A＆M University researchers have been undertaking(负责) for the past five years in a project called “Noah’s Ark”.
Noah’s Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos(胚胎), semen and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen(氮). If certain species should become extinct, Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A＆M’S College of Veterinary Medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future.
It is estimated that as many as 2, 000 species of mammals, birds and reptiles will become extinct in over 100 years. The panda, native only to China, is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years.
Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to implant the embryo into a host animal.
The entire procedure(过程) could take from three to five years to complete.
“The nuclear transfer(核子移植) of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available(capable of being used) panda eggs could be a major problem,” Kraemer believes. “They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy(having a baby). It takes a long time and it’s difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort,” adds Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A＆M, the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog.
“They are trying to do something that’s never been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noah’s Ark. We’re both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly appreciate their effort and there’s a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. It’s a research that is very much needed.”
72. The aim of “Noah’s Ark” project is to_______.
A. make effort to clone the endangered pandas
B. save endangered animals from dying out
C. collect DNA of endangered animals to study
D. transfer the nuclear of one animal to another
73. According to Professor Kraemer, the major problem in cloning pandas would be the lack of _______.
A. available panda eggs B. host animals
C. qualified researchers D. enough money
74. The best title for the passage may be _______.
A. China’s Success in Pandas Cloning
B. The First Cloned Panda in the World
C. Exploring the Possibility to Clone Pandas
D. China — the Native Place of Pandas Forever
75. From the passage we know that _______.
A. Kraemer and his team have succeeded in cloning a cat
B. scientists try to implant a panda’s egg into a tiger
C. Kraemer will work with Chinese scientists in clone researches
D. about two thousand of species will probably die out in about a century

Senior middle school graduates of our school have different opinions on how to choose their courses and universities.
About 35℅of the students believe the choice should be based on their own interests. They say interest is the mother of success. It is a miserable thing to have to spend most of your time studying what you have no interest in.
Most student(around 45℅),however, insist that main consideration should be given to the needs of the society, for, they argue, not everyone can find the job they like best. Besides, interest can be born and lost.
Interestingly, there are about 20% of the students who find it difficult to make a choice and would rather depend on their parents or teachers to make a decision for them.
部分答案解析：
语法和词汇
21. D解答该题的关键是要注意把握对他人表示鼓励性的建议的应答方式。题干上句中Have another go 意思为"再试一下"，是对方的一种建议方式，三个选项A、B、C均不符合情景交际用语。只有 Good idea"好主意"符合情景。答案D。
23. C本小题是have sb. do sth.结构的变化,针对sb.提问就构成了本句的语序与句式.
24. B解答该题的关键是要注意辨别强调原因状语从句中，连接词的选用。根据句子结构可以看出该句是一强调句型，被强调部分是原因状语从句。此句的陈述语序为She didn’t come to the party yesterday because she was injured in the accident.由It is/was+被强调部分+that连接句子的其它部分。答案为B。
26. C从语境与选项的含义判断选D。improve表示在原有基础上”改进,提高”而本句表示从无到有的变化,用develop表示”(使)生长,产生”。t
27. D解答该题的关键是要注意分析句子意思，准确把握句中从句的类型。根据句子意思可知，空格后的从句是说明句子的主语The recent information 的内容，故该句是同位语从句，应选that连接主从句，且不可省略。答案为D。
28. C解答该题的关键是要准确理解选项动词动作所发生的时间段，区别一般时态与进行时态的用法。从问话人请求对方重复已讲内容，答话人认为对方在刚才他讲话时没有注意他所讲内容可知，该选项动作强调在过去某个时刻正在进行，表示说话的当时，故应选用过去进行时。答案为C。
29. C in addition to相当于besides,表示“除……之外还”，这与后半句中also一词逻辑上相呼应。for the sake of为了；except for除了……（除去的内容与主语不属于同一类）；in spite of虽然，尽管。x
30. D解答该题的关键是要根据句子意思，推断选项代词的句中具体名词，作出正确选择。分析句子意思可以知道，选项代词所指代的名词为computers，且为特指，故应选the ones (=those)， 相当于the computers。答案D。
32. D这里用where引导地点状语。
33. D解答该题的关键是要正确理解介词后动名词的主动式与被动式的选用以及动名词与其逻辑主语之间的关系。选项动词短语在句中用作介词of的宾语，应使用动名词形式，根据句意可知，介词of 后的名词the film为动名词短语try out的逻辑主语，且为被动关系，故应选用动名词的被动结构。答案D。
34. C解答该题的关键是根据讲话人语气及四个选项情态动词的意义准确作出判断。may not"不可以"，表示允许； mustn’t"一定不"，表禁止； needn’t"没必要"，表示一种建议；can’t"不能"，表示某种可能性。根据说话人语气，应选needn’t。答案C。
35. C由于选项B、C两个动词短语为不常见短语，意义生疏，故解题时必须根据题干句子意思进行排除选择。pick out挑出，选出； leave out 漏掉；figure out算出； take out拿出，取出。根据句子意思：他们十分仔细地算出了完成工程所需要的钱和时间，故应选figure out。答案C。
完形填空:【解题关键】本文是夹叙夹议类文章。作者通过自己的经历说明，每一个人都是独特的，是其他人无法取代的。作者首先叙述自己的经历，然后发表自己对个人价值的观点。理清文章的结构、把作者叙述的故事和作者想要表达的观点结合起来分析是做好这篇完形填空的关键。
36. B此处作者说明自己外表反叛，但内心却渴望别人的喜欢。
37. D此处指作者内心希望别人"喜欢"她。
38. A从后面作者"好几次感到不安全"看，此处作者是说旅途一点不容易。其他选项不合逻辑。
39. C leave sb. +adj.表示"使某人处于……状态"，此处作者的意思是有一种情况特别危险，自己能活下来就谢天谢地了。
40. C表示朋友跟我们住在一起。
41. A此处指作者的"家人"。
42. D此处作者看到家人对朋友那么好，以至产生疑问：如果我不在，他们会想念我吗？
43. C while在此处引导让步状语从句，当"尽管"讲，相当于although。
44. C母亲的意思是没有人能"取代"我。match意为"比得上，配得上"，不合逻辑。
45. A母亲赞扬朋友身上的一些优秀"品质"。qualities当"品质"讲。
46. B fill one’s role当"填补某人的作用、角色"讲，此处作者表达的还是没有人能取代我。其他名词跟前面的动词fill不搭配。
47. A此处指作者身上的"缺点"，即使有很多缺点，但还是没有人能取代我。从前面的even可知，此处表示意义上的转折，因此应选"不好的"东西，排除B、 C。 pities"可怜"不合题意。
48. C seeking out在句中作伴随状语，当"探求"讲。作者在探求自己的特点是什么。
49. B此处表示作者对自己的"观点"发生了变化。此处不是"照片"，更不是"主意"。
50. D此处作者表达的意思是：自己拒绝像过去那样的"行为"的压力，而原来的方式作者已经不再喜欢了。其他选项表达的意思都太片面，偏离了作者表达的中心。
51. B作者找到了自己的特点，故"庆幸"自己就是自己，没有人能取代。
52. A找到了自己的优点和特点，作者对自己更有"信心"了。 doubtful, lonely显然不符合作者最后心理已经发生变化这一事实，happy偏离了作者想表达的中心。
53. D hold在此处当"占据"讲，作者认为我们每一个人都在世界上占据了一个独特的位置，没有人能取代。
54. B最后是作者的号召：别再去想"被别人取代"了。因此用forget about"忘记……"。作者此处是在用自己的经历警示读者，不要去考虑"被人取代"这一问题，其他动词不合语境。
55. C作者最后强调你"不可能"被取代。mustn’t表示"禁止；不允许"，shouldn’t也是禁止对方做什么；needn’t"不需要"，都不合题意。

71. B。主旨大意题。短文第一段的最后一句Very attractive people tend to form partnerships that are less stable and satisfying than those enjoyed by plain Janes. 是全文的主题句。这句话的意思是：美艳绝伦的女人比起容貌一般的女人更易遭受既不称心又不稳定的情侣关系。故B项(美貌女人注定要情场失意)为最佳标题。

短文改错
76. use→used。are used构成被动语态。
77. 去掉第一个the。first of all意为 "首先"。
78. make→making。enjoy一般跟doing作宾语。
79. has→have。谓语have应与主语trains保持一致。
80. than→as。as...as...表示同级比较。
81. 本行无错。
82. travels→traveling。spend...doing...意为 "花费时间 / 金钱做某事"。
83. wait→waiting或wait前加to。 like doing / to do sth.意为 "喜欢做某事"。
84. and→or。 or常用于否定句中表并列。
85. some→any。at any time意为 "在任何时候"。
