| Dear son, The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health, have patience and try to understand me. If I get dirty when eating, if I can not dress, have patience and remember the hours I 1 teaching it to you. If, when I speak to you, I 2 the same things thousand and one times, do not 3 me, listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story 4 you got to sleep. When I do not want to have a 5 , neither shame me nor scold me. Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I 6 , in order that you wanted to bathe. When you see my 7 little about new technologies, give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking (嘲弄) smile. I taught you 8 to do so many things: to eat good, to dress well, to confront life. When at some moment I lose the memory or the 9 of our conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember, and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous, as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you 10 to me. If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well 11 I need to and when not. When my 12 legs do not allow me to walk, give me your 13 , the same way I did when you gave your first 14 . And when someday I say to you that I do not want to 15 any more - that I want to rest forever, do not get angry. Someday you will understand. Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived. Some day you will discover that, 16 my mistakes, I always wanted the 17 thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you. You must not feel sad, angry or impotent (无可奈何) for seeing me 18 you. You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you 19 living. Help me to walk, help me to end my way with love and 20 . I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you. I love you, son. Your father | ||||

| For all the dinner table, a glass of milk seems to be a constant, at least it was when I was growing up. It was widely believed that milk was integral in building strong bones and teeth. There's no doubt that dairy products (乳制品), and milk in particular, are high in protein and calcium, and most milk products are supplemented with Vitamin D and A. While it's well known that our bones need calcium, some studies suggest that high calcium intake doesn't necessarily lower a person's risk for fractures (骨折). A Harvard study found that people who drank two or more glasses of milk had no greater protection from breaking a bone than those who drank a glass or less a week. There's no doubt that we need calcium. Some anti-dairy supporters claim that dairy can lead to heart disease. Much of this claim is based on high fat and high dairy products, like cheeses and creams, which may indeed contribute to cardiovascular problems. Some studies have linked high milk intakes with a risk of prostate cancer; this seems to be caused by high-fat dairy products, not dairy in general. Although milk was always regarded as one of the most important thing we need for our bones, yet least promoted, factors involved in strengthening bones. Perhaps we should think of dairy as less like a nutrient and more like a food. If you like it, eat it. If not, find some others. Because some claims may not be completely true, when I eat a cream, I'm not thinking about calcium, protein, or any such thing I'm thinking delicious. |
| 1. Which of the following is TRUE on the milk? |
| A. The more milk you drink, the more risk for fractures you might be. B. The more milk you drink, the less risk for fractures you might be. C. The less milk you drink, the less risk for fractures you might be. D. There is no link between them. |
| 2. Some anti-dairy supporters claim that dairy can lead to except _________. |
| A. cardiovascular problems B. heart disease C. prostate cancer D. stomach cancer |
| 3. The underlined words "some others" in the last paragraph refer to _________. |
| A. dairy products B. milk C. food D. cream |
| 4. What's the author's attitude towards milk? |
| A. He doesn't like milk any more. B. He used to drink milk as a child. C. He regards milk as a nutrient. D. He always cares about calcium, protein when he eats something. |
| 5. We can learn from the text that _________. |
| A. All the claims are not completely true. B. High milk intakes can lead to cancer. C. It's necessary for you to reduce milk intakes. D. Give up milk for your health. |

| Few of us haven't read Cinderella, the story of a young woman living in poverty who meets the prince of her dreams. Some might not want to admit it, but there is a hidden Cinderella in everyone's heart-we all wish we could achieve recognition or success after a period of obscurity (默默无闻) or neglect. Mary Santiago has that secret dream, too. Her story is featured in Another Cinderella Story, a film set in a US high school. Mary is shy but loves to dance. Compared with other girls, she is invisible. However, her world changes completely when a famous teenage pop singer, Joey Parker, appears. Joey is everything the rest of the boys in her class are not - kind, handsome and desirable. Mary and Joey's paths cross at a ball. They meet and fall in love with each other. But when Mary has to rush back home, she leaves behind her MP3 player, which becomes the only clue Joey has to find the girl of his dreams. Of course, there is a wicked (邪恶的) stepmother, who turns out to be Dominique Blatt and she takes in Mary after her dancer mother dies. Dominique treats Mary like a maid and does everything she can to make sure Mary doesn't get into the top dance school. Her two daughters are equally determined to stop Joey falling for Mary, even if that means embarrassing her. The story, though it mostly follows Cinderella, does add a few modern day twists to the classic fairy tale. Refreshingly, the film, unlike many high school films, does not focus on looks, although the actors are all beautiful. There is also a lot less materialism in Another Cinderella Story than in many similar movies. "The movie takes the Cinderella fairytale as its jumping off point," writes movie critic Amber Wilkinson. "The focus is firmly on following your dream." |

| A. build interest and lead us to Mary's secret dream B. remind us why Cinderella is popular all the years C. inform us of the main topic of the whole passage D. tell us how interesting the fairy tale Cinderella is |
| 2. In the movie, Mary Santiago is the main character who ________. |
| A. is brave in expressing her love B. is attended badly by the stepmother C. has a dream of meeting a prince D. is embarrassed by the pop singer |
| 3. What can we infer from the passage? |
| A. Joey is just like other boys in Mary's class. B. Mary's mother influences her a lot in singing. C. Not many people have a dream to be realized. D. The MP3 player helps Joey in finding Mary. |
| 4. The passage is mainly _________. |
| A. an introduction to a film B. a review about a film C. an essay about dreams D. an advertisement of Cinderella |
| 5. According to the passage, Another Cinderella Story __________. |
| A. follows Cinderella with nothing new B. pays more attention to the looks of the actors C. encourages young people to follow their dreams D. focuses more on materialism than other films |

| Michael Phelps and his U.S. teammates crowned the greatest single Olympic performance on 17th August, 2008 with a win in the 4?100 - meter medley relay. The victory gave Phelps his eighth gold medal of the Beijing Olympics, the most golds ever won by an athlete at one Games. With gold No. 8, Phelps earned a singular place in the Olympic record books. "There is no comparison in the swimming world for what Michael has done," said Gregg Troy, coach of U.S. swimmer Ryan Lochte, who finished third to Phelps in two races here in Beijing but also won gold alongside him in the 4?200-meter freestyle relay. It's hard to find comparisons even in the sports world overall. Phelps is solidly in the company of seemingly invincible superstars such as Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods. "I think years and years down the road we'll realize more and more how amazing he is and how special he really is." U. S. teammate Natalie Coughlin said. The 23-year-old from Baltimore capped a brilliant meet at the Water Cube. He set a world record in every event aside from the 100 butterfly which he narrowly won on Saturday, completing a program of 17 races in nine days. Phelps has won 14 Olympic gold medals and 16 total medals. He holds the record for most medals won by a man, surpassing Soviet gymnast Nikolai Andrianov, who won 15 from 1972 -1980, Soviet female gymnast Larysa Latynina holds the record with l8. At the 2004 Athens Games, Phelps won six gold medals and two bronze. He has already said he'll swim in the 2012 London Games. Phelps' victories in Beijing include: 200-meter freestyle, 200 and 400 individual medleys, 100 and 200 butterfly, 4?200 free relay, 4?100 medley relay, and 4?100 free relay. |

| What should you think about in trying 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 an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to do well 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. Knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs. 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 metal work or cookery (烹饪术) and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays 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 (运用) tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better 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 be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work. |
| 1. Which of the following best sums up the first paragraph? |
| A. The importance of doing well at school. B. Using school performance to help to choose a career. C. The importance of being good at all subjects. D. The indirect value of schoolwork. |
| 2. The writer thinks that for a student to have a part-time job is probably _______. |
| A. a waste of time that could have been spent on study B. useful for his future work C. a good way to earn extra money D. a good way to find out his weak points |
| 3. According to the passage, if a student's school record is not good, he ________. |
| A. will be a complete failure in his future work B. will not be able to find a suitable job C. will regret not having worked harder at school D. may do well in his future work |
| 4. Which subject is supposed to have no direct value for job hunting? |
| A. Mathematics. B. English. C. Technical drawing. D. History. |
| 5. The whole passage centers on _______. |
| A. choosing a career according to what one is skilled in B. acquiring knowledge by working hard at school C. finding one's strong and weak points D. developing one's abilities useful in school work |

| 阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的字数要求). A mobile phone service which makes your handset scream when it's been stolen has been started, with its makers claiming it could put an end to mobile theft altogether. The Remote XT system uses software to link customers' mobile phones directly to a secure remote server, which stores all their data from phone numbers to text messages and e-mails. If the owner's phone is lost or stolen, they can dial a 24-hour call centre and have it registered. The handset is then disabled, and cannot even be used if a new SIM card is put in. At the same time, the system sets off an alarm sounding like a high-pitched(尖声的) scream, which can only be stopped by removing the battery. Existing data is also wiped off the phone but, because the information has been stored centrally, as soon as the victim gets a news phone, the system designers said. "By making mobiles unusable to anyone but the rightful owner the phones become worthless and we will see the market for stolen handsets stopped once and for all," said Mark Whiteman, managing director of Remote XT. For the moment the system is aimed at business customers and comes with a fee of 9.99 pounds per month, possibly available to the majority of average users within two years as mobile technology advances. According to the latest UK government statistics, mobile phone theft has risen 190 percent in recent years, with one third of all UK robberies now solely involving mobile phones. 1. What is the best title for the passage? (Please answer within 10 words.) 2. Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one? With a phone lost or stolen, the phone's user can call a service centre at any time, having his/ her case recorded. 3. Please fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence. (Please answer within 10 words.) 4. Do you believe the security system can put an end to phone theft? Try to give your reasons. (Please answer within 30 words.) ____________________________________________________________________________ 5. Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 into Chinese. |
