A

In early autumn I applied for admission to college．I wanted to go nowhere but to Cornell University，but my mother fought strongly against it．When she saw me studying a photograph of my father on the sports ground of Cornell，she tore it up．

“You can't say it's not a great university，just because Papa went there．”

“That’s not it at all．And it is a top university．”She was still holding the pieces in her hand．“But we can’t afford to send you to college．”

“I wouldn’t dream of asking you for money．Do you want me to get a job to help support you and Papa? Things aren’t that bad，are they?”

“N o，”she said．“I don’t expect you to help support us．”

Father borrowed money from his rich cousins to start a small jewellery shop．His chief customers were his old college friends．To get new customers，my mother had to help．She picked up a long-forgotten membership in the local league of women，so that she could get to know more people．Whether those people would turn into customers was another question．I knew that my parents had to wait for quite a long time before their small investment(投资)could show returns．What’s more，they had not wanted enough to be rich and successful；otherwise they could not possibly have managed their lives so badly．

I was torn between the desire to help them and change their lives．and the determination

not to repeat their mistakes．I had a strong belief in my power to get what I wanted．After months of hard study l won a full college scholarship(奖学金)．My father could hardly contain his pride in me，and my mother eventually gave in before my success．

People u sed to say, “The hand that rocks (摇) the cradle (摇篮) rules the world.” and “Behind every successful man there is a woman.”

Both these sayings mean the same thing. Men rule the world, but their mothers and wives rule them..

Most American women wish to make their husbands and sons successful, but some of them want more for themselves. They want good jobs. When they work they want to be better paid. They want to be as successful as men.

The American women’s liberation movement was started by women who didn’t want to stand behind successful men. They wanted to stand beside men, with the same chance for success. They refused to work side by side with men who do the same work for a higher pay.

A liberated woman must be proud of being a woman and have confidence (自信) in herself. If somebody says to her, “You have come a long way, baby.” she will smile and answer, “Not nearly as far as I’m going to go, baby!”

This movement is quite new, and many American women don’t agree yet. But it has already made some important changes in women’s lives--- in men’s lives, too.

25. “Behind every successful man there is a woman” means_______.

A. men are always successful but not women

B. women are not willing to stand in front of men

C. women do play an important part in men’s lives and work

D. women can be as successful as men

26. Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Some American women want to work side by side with men and get the same pay for the same work.

B. Most American women want to be more successful than men.

C. Not every American woman wants to get a job.

D.The American women’s liberation movement did make some changes in women’s lives.

27. According to the passage, many American women today are ________。

A. still going a long way to work

B. working at easier jobs than men

C. unwilling to work side by side with men

D. willing to be less important than men as they used to

28. The American women’s liberation movement ________.

A. have still a long way to go

B. is a failure

C. was started by many successful women

D. is a new thing not accepted by the writer

C

Born in September, 1897, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies' two daughters. Along with nine other children whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachers. She finished her high school education at the College of Sévigné in Paris.

Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics. When World War I began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using X-ray facilities (设备) to help save the lives of wounded soldiers. Irene continued the work by developin g X-ray facilities in military hospitals in France and Belgium. Her services were recognised in the form of a Military Medal by the French government.

In 1918, Irene became her mother's assistant at the Curie Institute. In December 1924, Frederic Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taught him the techniques required for his work. They soon fell in love and were married in 1926. Their daughter Helene was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five years later.

Like her mother, Irene combined family and career. Like her mother, Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize, along with her husband, in 1935. Unfortunately, "also like her mother, she developed leukemia because of her work with radioactivity (辐射能). Irene Joliot-Curie died from leukemia on March 17, 1956.

D. At the College of Sévignfé.

31. When was the second child of Irene Curie and Frederic Joliot born?

A. In 1932.

B. In 1927.

C. In 1897.

D. In 1926.

Using too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger, but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways. You may wonder how paving(铺砌) a road can lead to less useable fresh water. A major part

of the water we use every day is groundwater. Groundwater does not come from lakes or rivers. It comes from underground. The more roads and parking lots we pave, the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater.

Human activity is not responsible for all water shortages (短缺). Drier climates are of course more likely to have droughts(干旱) than areas with more rainfall, but in any case, good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs.

Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference, too. In the United States, a family of four can use 1.5 tons of water a day! This shows how much we depend on water to live, but there's a lot we can do to lower the number.

You can take steps to save water in your home. To start with，use the same glass for your drinking water all day. Wash it only once a day. Run your dishwasher(洗碗机) only when it is full. Help your parents fix any leaks in your home. You can even help to keep our water supply clean by recycling batteries instead of throwing them away.

33. Which of the following is most likely to lead to less groundwater?

A. Using river water.

B. Throwing batteries away.

C. Paving parking lots.

D. Throwing rubbish into lakes.

34. The last paragraph is intended to________.

A. show us how to fix leaks at home

B. tell us how to run a dishwasher

C. prove what drinking glass is best for us

D. suggest what we do to save water at home

35. The text is mainly about________.

A. why paving roads reduces our water

B. how much we depend on water to live

C. why droughts occur more in dry climates

D. how human activity affects our water supply

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

36 One of the best things you can possibly do is to start you own club. It’s great fun especially if you are the sort of person who feels there’s never anything to do during the school holidays.

The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your club. 37 Pets, clothes, pop music or dancing groups, sports, making things? The list is endless.

Next you need some friends to be in your club with you. 38 All you need is three or four other people who are interested in the same thing as you.

39 You should all sit down somewhere together with lots of pieces of paper and write down every name you can think up. That’ll keep you busy for ages.

At your first meeting you should make up a rule book. And the first rule should be no grown-ups or little/big brothers or sisters! The best clubs are always secret!

Now you have just about everything you need, except membership cards. These are very important and again you can speed a lot of time making them. 40 Why not leave some space for a photo of yourself? That will make the membership card really look like it.

So there you are, get clubbing! Once you get started you’ll think of loads of more interesting things to do!

A. That’s easy.

B. Enjoy your own club!

C. Invite a designer to join you.

D. What are you interest in?

E. Some vacation is just around the corner.

F. Then you need to pick a name for your club.

G. Use a bright thick pen to make a special design.

Nowadays, middle school students tend to be very free with their pocket money, which has become a difficult problem to solve for schools.

Generally, parents give their children some money every month as their living expenses. However, some students spend less on re gular meals and everyday goods to save their pocket money with which they buy snacks, MP4 players, fashionable clothes and so on. What's worse, they spend it on playing computer games or surfing the Internet. Therefore, they don't know how hard it is to earn money. In addition, they are so young that they may learn to worship those with lots of pocket money blindly and fall into the bad habit.

In order to help the students, we should call on parents monitoring the pocket money. The school should take proper measures to educate the students and make them build up the good value of consuming.
