When I was a little girl, I found love in a box all because of a class assignment. On a Friday night I 36 at dinner table, “My teacher said we have to bring a box, a special box, for our valentines (情人节) on Monday”.
Mother said, “We’ll see,” and she continued eating.
What did “We’ll see” mean? I had to have that box 37 my second grade Valentine’s Day would be a disaster. Maybe they didn’t love me enough to help me with my 38 .
All Saturday I waited 39 and with Sunday arriving, my concern increased, but I 40 an enquiry（询问）about the box might 41 anger or loud voice, for in my house children only asked once. More than that 42 trouble.
Late Sunday afternoon, my father called me into the kitchen. The table was covered with colorful 43 of different kinds. A (n) 44 shoebox rested on top of it. 45 flooded through me when Daddy said, “Let’s get started 46 your project.”
In the next hour my father 47 the shoebox into impressive valentine box. Colorful paper covered the ugly cardboard with red hearts 48 to what I considered all the right places. He sang while he worked. When he finished, he was so delighted that a 49 smile spread over his face. “What do you think of that?” he asked.
I answered him with a hug.
But inside, 50 danced all the way to my heart. It was the first time that my father devoted so much 51 to me, for his world consisted of work only.
The holiday party arrived, and my classmates put cards, and presents into the valentine boxes. Laughter filled our classroom until dismissal time 52 .
On the way home, I held out my valentine box for the world to 53 . The love that filled it meant more to me than all the valentines inside. The valentine box became a symbol of his love that 54 through decades of other Valentine’s Days. He gave me other gifts through the years, but none 55 compared with the love I felt within the limits of the old, empty shoebox.

第三部分：阅读理解（共15 小题, 每小题2分 , 满分30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, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and loved the boy very much. When the boy was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open. He was late for work so he asked the wife to cap the bottle and keep it in the cupboard. The mother, preoccupied in the kitchen, totally forgot the matter.
The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle and, fascinated with its color, drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous（有毒的）medicine meant for adults in small dosages（剂量）. When the child fell down, the mother hurried him to the hospital, where he died. The mother was shocked. She was terrified how to face her husband.
When the father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and uttered just four words. The husband just said ‘I am with you, Darling’. The husband's totally unexpected reaction is active behavior. The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is no point in finding fault with the mother. Besides, if he had taken time to keep the bottle away, this would not have happened. No point in attaching blame. She had also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was comfort and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her.
If everyone can look at life with this kind of viewpoint, there would be much fewer problems in the world. Take off all your envies, unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears and you will find things are actually not as difficult as you think. Sometimes we spend time asking who is responsible or whom to blame, whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people we know. By this way we miss out some warmth in human relationship.
56. The uncapped medical bottle was not put back into the cupboard because .
A. the husband was carelessB. the wife ignored the matter
C. the husband was busyD. the wife wasn’t informed of the matter
57. What do we know about the bottle? .
A. It contained poison only for adultsB. It was kept in the kitchen
C. It was broken by the childD. It appeared like a nice drink
58. The husband’s attitude towards his wife can be described as .
A. optimisticB. confidentC. considerateD. generous
59. What did the writer intend to tell us about life? .
A. Think of nothing and life will be easy
B. It is always useless finding who is responsible
C. Let go the negative side and we can enjoy life.
D. Life should give way to responsibility
B
From school to band practice, the Venturi Eclectic is an Earth-friendly way to get where you want to go. This battery-powered, zero-emission (meaning it doesn't pollute the air) vehicle runs mainly on renewable energy. Solar panels on the Eclectic's roof absorb sun rays when you're driving. On windy days, you can connect a machine to the car's roof that collects energy from the wind while you're parked. The Eclectic's top speed is 28 miles an hour; the battery lasts for 31 miles before it needs to be recharged. Zipping (迅速行进) around the neighborhood has never been better.
Here's an eco-friendly way to tell time: Simply fill the Bedol Water-powered Clock's tank (箱) with water, add some lemon juice, and the clock will display the time without the need for environmentally harmful batteries. There are two sets of metal electrodes (电极) inside the water tank. Water contains ions (离子) that carry negative and positive charges. These ions complete a charge between the electrodes, creating enough energy to power the clock. Just refill the tank every few weeks, and this clock will keep on ticking.
You’re having a blast at your friend’s birthday party. But when it's time to bring out the cake, everyone crowds around, blocking your view. No worries. Throw the Triops into the air, and this clever camera catches the view from above. The Triops can take three pictures at once, each from different angles. You can also record sounds and command the Triops to start shooting (拍摄)whenever it hears that noise. That's one smart camera.
60.According to the passage, the Venturi Eclectic .
A. is popular with businessmenB. is suitable for a long trip
C. has only a little gas emissionD. can turn wind into energy
61.What is the common characteristic of the Venturi Eclectic and the Bedol Water-powered Clock?
A. They don't need batteries.B. They can be powered by water.
C. They are difficult to operate.D. They are environmentally friendly.
62.The underlined phrase “having a blast” in the last paragraph probably means .
A. looking at a pictureB. recording sounds
C. enjoying yourselfD. blowing out a candle
C
The royal family is a part of British history and cultural identity.
Up until the 17th century, people believed that the British king or queen had a “divine(天赐的)right” to rule. This was the idea that God chose the king or queen and that he or she was therefore above the law. However, this idea was challenged during the English Civil War, when King Charles the First was put in prison and then killed in 1649.
So what role does the British royal family have today?
The Queen is head of the UK and the Commonwealth. She has important formal duties that go with her different titles. As Head of State, for example, she represents the UK on visits abroad and invites other world leaders to visit the UK；as Head of the Armed Forces in name, only she can declare when the UK is at war or when a war is over. She has to sign many government and Commonwealth documents every day.
Although the royal family does the work for the UK, there are British people called“anti-monarchists(反君主制者)”who do not believe there should be a royal family. One criticism(批评意见)is that the British people should not have to pay for the royal family with their taxes(税).
Today, the royal family works hard to be relevant(相关的)in the modern world. The Queen still gives a speech to the nation on television at Christmas, but it gets less and less formal every year；now it is even available as a podcast(播客).
In 2005, after graduating from university, Prince William spent time teaching English in Uruguay, the sort of work many ordinary young British people do in their gap years.
63. What can be concluded from the first two paragraphs?
A. The British king or queen is considered above the law.
B. The English Revolution put an end to the British royal family in 1649.
C. The British king or queen is no longer believed to rule by divine right.
D. The royal family didn’t play an important role in Britain in the 17 th century.
64. Which of the following is among the formal duties of the Queen?
A. Traveling around the UK.
B. Declaring when the world is at war.
C. Inviting other leaders to have dinner with her.
D. Signing Commonwealth documents every day.
65. With the example of Prince William in the last paragraph, the author intends to show that
.
A. Prince William is very popular in the UK
B. the royal family is trying to connect better with ordinary people
C. Prince William has made an effort to win young people’s admiration
D. many young British people do voluntary work
66. It can be inferred from the passage that ___________.
A. the royal family doesn’t have to pay taxes
B. the British people are all in favor of the royal family
C. the British people can talk to the Queen through a podcast
D. the royal family attacks republicans through media and press
D
One period of our lives when better results are demanded of us is, strangely enough, childhood. Despite being young we are expected to achieve good grades, stay out of trouble, make friends at school, do well on tests, perform chores (杂务)at home and so on. It’s not easy.
Likeable children enjoy many advantages, including the ability to deal more easily with stresses of growing up.In her book Understanding Child Stress, Dr. Carolyn Leonard states that children who are likeable and optimistic are able to gain support from others. This leads to focus and resilience（适应力）, the ability to recover from or adjust early to life stress. Much research shows that resilience has enabled children to succeed in school, avoid drug abuse, and develop a healthy self-awareness(自我意识).
Why does a likeable child more easily handle stress and do better in his or her life? Because likeability helps create what’s known as a positive feedback loop(回馈圈). The positive feelings you want to see in other people are returned to you, creating constant encouragement and motivation to deal with the daily stress of life.
This feedback loop continues into adulthood. To return once again to the example of teaching, learning becomes easier with a likeable personality. Michael Delucchi of the University of Hawaii reviewed dozens of studies to determine if likeable teachers received good ratings because of their likeability or because they in fact taught well. Delucchi found that “Students who perceive(察觉) a teacher as likeable, in contrast to(比照) those who do not, may be more attentive to the information that the teacher delivers and they’ll work harder on assignments, and they will learn more.”
You may have noticed this pattern in your own life when you try to give some advice. The more positive your relationship with that person, the more he or she seems to listen, and the more you feel certain that that person has heard you and intends to act on your words.
67. The writer implies in the first paragraph that __________.
A. life is not easy for every one of us
B. children are expected much than we usually think
C. better education results in smarter children
D. to be a likable child is almost impossible
68. According to Dr. Leonard, likeable children __________.
A. will work harder on assignments and learn more
B. can deal more easily with stress independently
C. can achieve more and understand themselves better
D. are always optimistic and ready to help those in need
69. The main purpose of the studies done by Michael Delucchi is to find __________.
A. how a likeable teacher’s teaching style is formed
B. how a teacher’s likeability gains popularity
C. if a likeable teacher draws more attention
D. if a likeable teacher has a positive personality
70. The passage aims at proving that __________.
A. likeable people give better advice
B. likeable people do better in their childhood
C. social creatures enjoy more advantages
D. likeable people do better in life generally

One Possible Version
Last week our class had a heated discussion on Earth Hour. Different students have different opinions about this activity．
About 60% of the students are in favor of it. As we all know, global warming is a big problem in the world. Earth Hour can raise people’s awareness of global warming. Besides, turning off lights for an hour is energy-saving. Only by working together can we make our earth a better place to live in.
However, about 40% of the students say this activity is not very meaningful. They think it is only a show and that it doesn’t make much difference. What’s more, turning off lights for an hour may cause inconvenience to people’s life, work and study.
In my opinion, this activity is of great importance. But one activity alone is not enough if we want to save energy and protect our earth. Let’s act through our day-to-day habits.

The old man is holding a pair of chopsticks, and he’s helping himself to some rice in a bowl he’s holding. There is also some rice in the bowls on the table.

M: When I was 5, I wanted to be a spaceman, mainly because most of my toys were spaceships, I think. But at around the age of 6, I decided that I wanted to join the army.
W: Why the army?
M: Well, maybe it was because my toys changed from spaceships to tanks! But I think it was mainly because my uncle was in the army and he used to come around to our house quite often and tell stories to my parents. I thought it sounded like fun. What about you? What did you want to be when you were young?
W: I wanted to be a shopkeeper for quite a while. Like you, I think it was related to how I used to play. My sister and I used to set up shops―we’d sell anything we found lying around the house, and then visit each other’s shops and buy things with pretend money. Of course, we weren’t really buying and selling stuff. It was just for fun.
M: Well, neither of us joined the army or became shopkeepers, did we?

Freezing weather in the past few days has caused problems in many parts of central and southern Europe. After more than 200 people were killed by low temperatures in eastern Europe, the snowy weather has moved west, covering Bosnia in 2 metres of snow. Bosnian farmers have had problems feeding their cows because of the snow, and as a result, milk production there has dropped by 30%. The most deaths have occurred in nearby Ukraine--- 120 people there have died in temperatures as low as ?30 degrees. Some were found half-buried in the snow in distant parts of the country. Meanwhile, Rome is caught in the heaviest snowstorm of the past 27 years. Buses there are unable to operate, and the mayor is under heavy criticism for not having snow-moving equipment at the ready. However, the government has sent workers out throughout the city to help clear out the snow before a further drop in temperature. Could all this trouble have been avoided? Probably not. But with extreme weather becoming more common, the leaders of Europe would be well advised not to treat this winter as a one-off occurrence.
