I
saw
the
old
man,
with
his
untidy
clothes
and
messy
hair,
as
he
dashed
between
the rows of the
department store. He was trying to be ordinary but
he was
hard not to 1 .
He 2 the
saleswoman
and
with
a
slight 3 ,
possibly
German,
asked
where
the
women
’
s shoes were sold.
“
Fourth
floor.
”
She responded in a
voice
I
could
hear
10
miles
away.
“
Pardon?
Where
did
you
say
they
were?
”
he
asked
again,
apparently 4 . Clearly the old man was somewhat
5 .
“
Fourth
floor,
sir,
”
the
friendly
saleswoman
replied
patiently,
this
time
so
__6___
that customers turned to see what was causing the
7 .
I continued watching as the man
thanked the saleswoman and 8 for what I
assumed was the fourth floor. But
rather than walk to the 9 or the lift,
he
dashed
behind
a
shelf,
took
out
a
notebook
and
started
writing
hurriedly,
with an almost mad 10 on his face.
Then he went straight up to another
saleswoman and asked
where
the women
’
s shoes were sold.
Again he asked her
to 11 the answer
and once more he walked away and took down some
notes.
He did this three more times
before a department store 12 , thinking
him mad, removed him from the store.
But rather than be 13 , the old man
departed with a huge smile on his face.
Although the incident was 14 _ ,
it
was not until a year later, during my first year
of university, that I
gave it any
further 15 _ . I walked into my language
classroom and met my
professor. It was
that very same man.

Hic!
You've
just
hiccupped(
打嗝
)
for
the
tenth
time
since
you
finished
dinner.
Wonder
___16 these
funny
noises
are
coming
from?
The
part
__17 (blame)
is
your
diaphragm,
the
muscle
（肌肉）
at
the
bottom
of
your
chest.
All
hiccups
start here.
The diaphragm almost always ___18
(work) perfectly--- it pulls down
when
you breathe in to help pull air into the lungs
__19 it moves up
when you breathe
out to help push air out of the lungs. But
sometimes the
diaphragm becomes upset,
and when ___ 20 happens, it pushes up in an
irregular
way
,
making
your
breath
come
out
differently
____21 how
it
normally does. When this
irregular breath hits your voice box, you're left
with
a
big
hiccup.
Things
___22 bother
the
diaphragm
include
eating
too
quickly or too much, stomachaches or
feeling nervous.
If
you
want
to
know
___23 to
get
rid
of
hiccups,
here
are
some
___24 (breathe) into a
paper bag is one method some people use. Others
think
taking
a
mouthful
of
water
is
the
way
to
become
hiccup-
free.
Sugar
under
your
tongue
might
also
drive
away
the
hiccups.
And
maybe
the
most
famous 25
(treat),
having someone scare you , also helps beat the
hiccups.
三、阅读理解
A
A black and white kitten with a broken
back lay on animal doctor Betsy
Knenon's
examination
table.
A
regular
customer
had
rushed
him to
her
office
after his pet dog
brought the cat home in his mouth. The dog's owner
was
horrified,
believing
that
his
pet
had
caused
the
cat's
injuries.
But
Kennon
found
no teeth marks or bite wounds, which showed that
the dog had probably
saved, not harmed,
the kitten.
In
Kennon
’
s
opinion,
however,
the
cat
was
a
hopeless
case.
Many
doctors
would
have put down such a
badly hurt animal. But she
couldn
’
t be so cruel. The
kitten
’
s bright
eyes and sad face had won her over. There was no
way of
finding his owner, so Kennon, a
single woman aged 56, decided to keep him.
She gave him a round of shots and fed
him food mixed with medicines. He
couldn
’
t move his
back legs but soon started pulling himself forward
with
his front legs. The doctor named
him Scooter and contacted a company that
makes carts for disabled animals.
Scooter took to his new wheels like a
natural.
In
no
time
he
was
able
to
move
freely,
if
somewhat
awkwardly,
around
Kennon
’
s office,
home and even her backyard. The sight of the
determined
Scooter was uplifting and
amusing in equal measure and Kennon had to smile
each time the cat entered the room.
Kennon
was
convinced
that
her
kitten
could
share
his
high
spirits
with
others.
So
she
took
Scooter
to
the
local
hospital
to
see
if
he
could
help
the
patients.
His
first
patient
was
an
elderly
woman
who
’
d
had
a
stroke
and
hadn
’
t
spoken
to anyone for two
days. Scooter jumped out of
Kennon
’
s arms and onto the
bed,
rolled
over
to
the
patient,
and
lay
gently
near
her
cheek,
purring
softly.
The woman looked at Scooter.
“
Kitty,
”
she
murmured as she began to talk
to
him.
Amazed,
Kennon
turned
to
the
doctor---
and
saw
that
she
was
in
tears.
The cat had engineered a small miracle.
Today Scooter spends about ten hours a
month working with patients who are
recovering
from
strokes
and
injuries.
Again
and
again,
Kennon
watches
as
her
cat provides hope and comfort. As one
patient who
’
d lost her leg
in a car
accident said,
“
If he can do it, so can
I.
”
26. From
Paragraph 1, we know that ___________.
A.
the
do
g’
s
owner
was
a
stranger
to
Kennon B.
the
cat
had
several
bite
marks on its body
C.
the
dog
was
extremely
cruel
to
the
cat D.
who
actually
injured
the
cat was unknown
27.
The
underlined
phrase
“
put
down
”
in
Paragraph
2
most
probably
means___________.
A. hurt
B. killed C. refused D. replaced
28. Why did Kennon decide to keep the
cat?
A.
She
wanted
a
companion. B.
The
cat
’
s
owner
abandoned
him.
C. She liked the cat.
D. The cat was hopeless.
29. How did
Kennon help the cat move around?
A.
By
curing
his
broken
back. B.
By
getting
him
a
special
cart.
C. By feeding him medicines.
D. By exercising him in her
backyard.
30. According to the passage, what is
the main reason that the cat works
miracle?
A. He is able to
inspire others. B. Patients feel
sympathy for
him.
C. People
are amused
by his appearance. has
the ability to cure the
ill.
B
We
each
have
a
unique
genetic(
基因的，遗传的
)
make-up.
Every
cell
of
your
body
has
the
same
set
of
about
100,000
separate
genes
made
of
DNA.
These
are
the
instructions for producing a person. Genes decide
everything from the
colour of your skin
to the way your brain works. You have one of
several
billion
combinations
of
DNA
which
come
from
the
random
mixing
of
your
parents
’
genes.
Except
for
identical
twins(
同卵双胞胎
),
no
one
has
the
same
combination
as
another
person.
You
are
unique!
You
are
unique
in
another
way
too: in the way you are raised and all
the experiences you have from before
birth to adult life. These experiences
influence you, your behaviour and
attitudes, and the choices you make.
But
are
genes
or
life
experiences
more
important
in
shaping
your
appearance and personality? Scientists
are studying twins to find out. One
set
of twins occurs every 70 births---some are
identical and others are
non-identical
twins.
Identical
twins
are
special
because
they
share
exactly
the
same
genes
and
often
the
same
environment.
Non-identical
twins
are
more
like ordinary brothers and sisters.
Some
identical
twins
have
been
adopted
and
brought
up
in
different
homes.
With
identical
genes
but
a
different
home
environment,
scientists
can
study
twins
to see how much a particular feature depends on
the genes we inherit.
For example, we
know that eye problems, like short-sightedness,
are mostly
genetic. But resistance to
pain is largely dependent on experiences. Genes
also
influence
our
eating
habits.
Identical
twins
brought
up
apart
often
like
to eat at the same time of day and feel
full after eating the same amount.
Non-
identical
twins
in
similar
circumstances
have
more
varied
eating
habits.
Identical
twins
are
also
more
likely
to
follow
the
same
patterns
for
marriage
and
divorce than non-identical twins.
Scientists
are
trying
to
identify
the
different
genes
that
influence
our
behaviour. Some people
are thrill-seekers and get into risk-taking and
adventurous
activities.
They
take
up
extreme
sports
like
bungee
jumping
and
possibly take drugs. Scientists have
discovered a gene which affects this.
We
could
ask,
“
Are
our
lives
determined
by
our
genes
or
our
upbringing?
”
Scientists
are
learning
more
all
the
time,
but
it
is
certainly
true
that
both
are important in making us who we are.
31. What is the main idea of the first
paragraph?
A. We cannot easily change
our physical appearance.
B. How we turn
out depends on our parents
’
genes.
C. Everyone has a physical
double somewhere in the world.
D. Both
our genes and our experiences make us who we are.
32. Why are scientists studying twins?
A. To find out how many twins are born
every year.
B. To discover what shapes
us as individuals.
C. To compare
differences between twins.
D. To study
brother-and-sister relationships.
33.
According to the passage, __________.
A. one in 70 twins are genetically
identical
B. non-identical twins are
usually not of the same sex
C. twins
separated at birth behave exactly the same
D. identical twins are genetically the
same
34. Which of the following is most
affected by experience according the
passage?
A. Eating habits.
B. Eye-sight. C. Pain resistance. D.
Marriage
patterns.
35. What
does the underlined
“
this
”
in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Our love of
sport. B. Our attitude to risk-taking.
C. Our skill at bungee jumping. D.
Our ability to take drugs.

As you climb into the hill country, the
roads get dustier and rougher,
and
fewer
cars
can
be
seen.
Phonxay
is
one
of
the
poorest
districts
of
Laos,
and many of its
villages are only accessible by footpath. Our
destination
this
hot
morning
is
a
concrete
water
tank
that
can
be
found
just
off
the
road.
A
UK
organization
helped
to
build
it
six
years
ago,
and
in
the
nearby
village
of
Thapho,
where
clean
drinking
water
is
scarce,
it
has
made
a
big
difference.
The
tank
feeds
six
taps
which
in
turn
give
water
to
over
800
people---it
has
improved things for
almost every family, from schoolchildren to
grannies.
But
lately,
we
were
told,
the
clean
water
supply
has
come
under
pressure
from
new arrivals, people
who have come down from the hill areas, and there
are
concerns that there will not be
enough clean water to go round.
There
are also serious worries about resources in Laos.
The Chinese are
building
a
400km
railway
link,
which
could
transform
the
landlocked
country.
About 150,000 Chinese workers will be
involved. What will this do to local
clean water supplies? How will the
workers be fed?
The
vast
majority
of Laotians
live
on
farms.
But
with
foreign
investors
wanting to buy up
land, local people will have to be moved to make
room for
them. Heavily dependent on
both foreign aid and foreign investment, Laos
still falls well behind its neighbours,
although its economy has grown at
about
6%
a
year
in
the
last
decade.
Its
biggest
economic
problem
is
the
lack
of locally trained
skilled workforce.
But there are
reasons to be hopeful for the future. Laos is
beautiful,
and foreign tourism
continues to grow: fortunately so far the fast-
food
chains
and
coffee
bars
common
elsewhere
are
nowhere
to
be
seen.
Although
all
local media are
government-run, the Internet is not controlled and
the BBC
and CNN are available to those
with satellite dishes.
The
government
has
also
achieved
impressive
results
in
rural
development,
with
communities
benefiting
not
just
from
cleaner
water
but
the
construction
of new schools and regular visits from
medical teams. Poverty will not be
history in Laos within the next decade,
but with small steps forward and a
bit
of
outside
help,
the
country
could
find
itself
out
of
the
UN
’
s
least-developed category by 2020.
36.
The
underlined
word
”
scarce
”
in
paragraph
1
most
probably
means_________.
A. valuable
B. rare C. infrequent D.
missing
37. What is putting
pressure on the local supply of clean water?
A. Dust from the road is making the
water dirtier.
B. There are too many
taps accessing the water.
C. The
population of the area is growing fast.
D. The coming summer will dry up rivers
and lakes.
38. What is the most serious
limitation on Laos
’
economic
growth?
A. The lack of local skilled
workers. B. A poor transportation
system.
C. Too much foreign
aid. D. Too many foreign workers.
39.
According
to
the
passage,
which
of
the
following
is
NOT
a
reason
for
Laos
to be hopeful?
A. There are no fast-food restaurants
in the country.
B. Laos has a variety
of tourist attractions.
C. Information
on the Internet is freely accessible.
D. The government owns all local media.
40. What is the best title for the
passage?
A. Laos: small steps forward.
B. Laos: slow-developing nations
C.
Laos: least-developed land D. Laos:
landlocked country

One-
hundred-and
seventh
birthdays
aren
’
t
usually
celebrated
for
authors who
aren
’
t alive anymore. But
Theodor Seuss Geisel---better known
as
the children
’
s books author
Dr. Seuss ---who came into the world on 2
March, 1904, was an unusual man.
Like
generations
of
children
I
was
raised on
his
wonderful
stories.
But
when I now read them to
my children it
’
s not just
the childhood memories
I
enjoy.
His
writing
is
brilliant
and
imaginative
and
flows
with
a
self-confidence
as
sure
as
the
words
of
a
Shakespeare
poem.
Readers
ride
his
characteristic rhythm with an
effortless joy that cannot be matched by any
other modern writer:
You
have brains in your head
You have feet
in your shoes
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose
And will you
succeed?
Yes indeed, yes indeed!
Ninety-eight and three-quarters percent
guaranteed.
Seuss
’
s brilliant
cartoons and clever words make his books a delight
for
adults
but
they
appeal
most
to
children
of
course.
His
stories
teach
kids
moral lessons but in
indirect and entertaining ways.
The
first Seuss book I was given was The Lorax,
written just as the 60s
were
becoming
the
70s.
Seuss
was
ahead
of
his
time,
and
in
this
book
the
dawn
of concern for environmental problems
are shown as the Lorax
“who
speaks
for
the
trees
”
battles
against
an
evil
businessman
who
wants
to
destroy
the
forest and make goods
“
which everyone
needs
”
.
It
’
s
not
only
a
warning
of
the
heavy
price
of
environmental
destruction,
written
well
before
most
people
had
thought
to
worry,
but
it
’
s
also
a
smart
analysis
of
consumer
societies:
“
Unless
someone
like
you
cares
a
whole
awful
lot, nothing is going to get better.
It
’
s
not.
”
This is of course a
moral
message,
but
not
of
the
kind
designed
to
persuade
the
youngsters
into
behavior
that adults want.
I could go on, but hey,
it
’
s a birthday, and
I
’
m sure you folks have
some good toasts to raise for the
party
…
