一、语法选择（共15小题每题1分共15分）

This was the fourth time this year that Lin was the new kid in school. Four moves in seven months----all because her mother's job kept them moving. she had decided back in December that 1 new friends was a waste of time. She would join no more clubs. She would 2 add no new names to her phone list.

3 her first day the teacher Mrs. Leonard welcomed her to the class and assigned a “buddy” to help her and let to find her way around. This time, it was a girl named Marley, or Carly, or something. Lin had stopped paying attention to

4 the kids? names were .

Lin knew that she would forget them all, just as 5 kids from all those other schools had probably forgotten her. 6 Mrs. Leonard was giving Lin textbooks, Lin made her decision: at this school, she would be 7 remembered .

The next day, Tuesday, instead of8 the usual jeans and T-shirt, she dressed 9 in a pair of bloomers from an old Raggedy Ann Halloween costume . She didn't brush her hair. On Wednesday ,she wore10 old dress of her mother's, along with soccer cleats. “A t least they?ll remember me after we?ve moved away”. she thought on Thursday as she put on a plaid skirt, a T-shirt ,and a pile of long beaded necklaces 11 her grandmother had given her to play with.

On Friday, they called her mother to school. she was a bit worried about what her mom12 when she saw her outfit--a hula skirt from a vacation in Hawaii13 on top of a pair of shabby jeans. From inside the principal's office, she heard her mother and Mrs. Leonard talking.

“She'll be so 14 ,” her mother said to Mrs. Leonard in the hallway.” We 15 so often in the last seven months ,but this time we are here to stay. I …ve got a new job in town. Fi nally, she'll be able to fit in.”

二、完形填空（共10小题每小题1.5分共15分）

A friend of mine met with an accident driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn't move. What was the worse was he found himself unable to ask for help---his mobile phone went out of 16 as a result of exhausted battery. Nothing could be done but to 17 in cold wilderrness. It was 8 hours later that day when the rescue finally came .

It is almost unimaginable that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more

18 was his explaination: “First of all I checked up my physical19 and found myself not in

fatal danger. As there was no way to call for help,I leaned back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from 20 . In this way I dozed(打盹)off.”

His story put an end to my regret for the21 of an exploration adventure that happened last year. A group of young men trying to explore a mountain cave and got lost. Unable to find a way out in the dark cave, they were frightened and ran22 without a sense of direction .Finally they fell dead in fear and exhaustion. According to the rescue people that found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10metersaway from the opening of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to 23 themselves, they would probably sense a faint light glimmering not far away.

Don't you think that you can compare it with life itself? When you meet with difficulties in life and work, you are lost in darkness. Remind yourself that it's unclear yet and you needn't put up struggle

24 . It seems to be a negative attitude. but a person who can25 to do so must have foresight as well as a great courage in the first place.

A

When my first wartime Christmas came, I was in basic training in New Jersey and not sure if I would make it home for the holidays. Only on the afternoon of December 23 was the list of men who would have the three-day holiday posted. I was one of the lucky soldiers. It was Christmas Eve when I arrived home, and a little snow had fallen. Mother opened the front door. I could see beyond her, into the corner of the living room where the tree had always stood. There were lights, all colors, and ornaments shining against the green of a pine.

"Where did it come from?" I asked.

"I asked the Gates boy to cut it," my mother said. "I wouldn't have had one just for myself, but when in great need... such a rush! He just brought it in this afternoon."

The pine reached to the proper height, almost to the ceiling, and the Tree Top Crystal Star was in its place.

A few green branches reached out a little awkwardly at the side, I thought, and there was a bit of bare trunk showing in the middle. But the tree filled the room with warm light and the whole house with the pleasant smell of Christmas.

"It's not like the one you used to find," my mother went on. "Yours were always in good shape. I suppose the Gates boy didn't know where to look for a better one. But I couldn't be fussy."

"Don't worry," I told her. "It's perfect."

It wasn't, of course, but at the moment I realized something for the first time: All Christmas trees are perfect.

A．The writer spent his first christmas during the war .

In Silicon Valley, it's never too early to become an entrepreneur. Just ask 13-year-old David Moore. The eighth-grader has launched a company last October to develop low-cost machines to print Braille (布莱叶盲文). David built a Braille printer with a Lego Mindstorms EV3 kit as a school science fair project last year after he asked his parents a simple question: How do blind people read? "Google it," they told him. David then did some online research and was shocked to learn that Braille printers cost at least $2,000 — too expensive for most blind readers.

"I just thought that price should not be there. I know that there is a simpler way to do this," said David, who demonstrated how his printer works at the kitchen table where he spent many late nights building it. David wants to develop a desktop Braille printer that costs around $350 and weighs just a few pounds, compared with current models that can weigh more than 20 pounds. "My end goal would probably be having most of the blind people ... using my Braille printer," said David, who lives in the Silicon Valley suburb of Santa Clara, just minutes away from Intel headquarters.

After the “Braigo”---a name that combines Braille and Lego--won numerous awards and enthusiastic support from the blind community, David started Braigo Labs last summer with an initial $35,000 investment from his dad. "We as parents started to get involved more, thinking that he's on to something and this new way process has to continue," said his father, Matthew Moore, an engineer who works for Intel.

Intel officials were so impressed with David's printer that in November they invested an undisclosed sum in his start-up. They believe he's the youngest entrepreneur to receive venture capital money invested in exchange for a financial stake in the company. "He's solving a real problem, and he wants to go off and challenge an existing industry," said Edward Ross, director of Inventor Platforms` at Intel. Now the company is using the money to hire

professional engineers and advisers to help design and build Braille printers based on David?s ideas. It aims to have a prototype (样机) ready for blind organizations to test this summer and have a Braigo printer on the market later this

year.

31. Which of the followings is Not the description of Braigo?

A. The name "Braigo" comes from Braille and Lego.

B. The new type of printer is supported by the blind.

C. It costs less money and weighs just a few pounds.

D.It?s lighter than current Brailleprinters , but hard to use.

32. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?

A. Intel didn?t announce the amount of money it invested.

C. Intel purchased David?s ideas to design and build Braille printers.

Two friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according to an official report on youth violence, "In our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence". Given that this is the ease, why aren't students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive ears, or stay physically fit?

First of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult (侮辱). For example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to violence. The problem isn't in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict.

Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution (解决) : stay calm. Once the student feels calmer, he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well Rude words, name-calling, and accusations only add fuel to the emotional fire. On the other hand, soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.

After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy (策略) for conflict resolution : listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterward, the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speaker's position. Then the two people should change roles.

Finally, students need to consider what they are hearing. Tiffs doesn't mean trying to figure out what's wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. For example, a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themselves questions such as these: How did this start? What do I really want? What am I afraid of? As the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesn't, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.

There will always be conflict in schools, but that doesn't mean there needs to be violence. After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to Educators for Social Responsibility, "64 percent of the

teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom; 75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student co-operation; and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves'. Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends, teachers, parents, bosses, and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.

41. From Paragraph 2 we can learn that

A. violence is more likely to occur at lunchtime

B. a small conflict can lead to violence

C. students tend to lose their temper easily

D. the eating habit of a student is often the cause of a fight

42. What does the underlined word conflict probably mean?

A. 斗争

B. 冲突

C. 欺凌

D. 辱骂

43. Why do students need to ask themselves the questions stated in Paragraph 5?

A. To find out who is to blame.

B. To get ready to buy new things.

C. T o make clear what the real issue is.

D. T o figure out how to stop the shouting match.

44. After the conflict resolution program was started in Atlanta, it was found that_____.

A. the teacher-student relationship greatly improved

B. the students? sense of responsibility was awoken

C. The students could deal with friends and teachers without any difficulty

D. there was a decrease in classroom violence

45. The writer's purpose for writing this article is to________.

A.call for people's attention to school violence

B. teach students different strategies for school life

C. advocate that schools should teach students how to deal with conflict

D. inform teachers of the latest studies on school violence

Since the great success of cloning the sheep Dolly, the cloning of human beings is no longer a fictional story but can be proved to be medically possible. 46 I just want to say: “ No! Never !

47 For example , they insist that if we could clone a new Einstein, we would make more progress on physics . and if we could get a new shakespeare , we would enjoy more profound classic literary works and …… But how can we gurantee that another Hitler could not be brought back to life “ thanks to” cloning? Moreover , Can we give birth to a baby who exactly shares your grand grand pa?s genes? We could be confused by that relationship or kinship . 48

Some scientists believe that we can get the organs we need to save people's life from the cloned counterpart , But is it unfair to them? Even if they are not the creatures of nature but of technology , they are a kind of life . 49 I do not suppose this action is humane .

50

It is another violation of the natural law . Life should be a circle from birth to death and then re-birth and re-death. Every round of change can breed more varieties of genes .Thereby our human species can live rather than copying ourselves repeatedly ,which I would lead to the final retrogression(退化) of human species.

A.I do not think we can be granted the right to kill them and take out the organs for our use.

B.If we can always replace our old organs with new ones, we will predictably never die,

C.Thus, the problem unavoidable arises, should we permit human cloning?

D.And in that case,we would find ourselves lost in an embarrassing and disorder ly situation.

E.Some people maintain that it can save talents.
