四、阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分, 满分30分）
A
A mouse looked through a crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife opening a package: What food might it contain? He was astonished to discover that it was a mouse trap!
Retreating（撤退） to the farmyard, the mouse declared the warning, “There is a mouse trap in the house, there is a mouse trap in the house.”
The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, “Mr Mouse, I can tell you this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me, I cannot be bothered by it.”
The mouse turned to the pig and told him, “There is a mouse trap in the house.” “I am so sorry, Mr Mouse,” sympathized the pig, “but there is nothing I can do about it but pray; be assured that you are in my prayers.”
The mouse turned to the cow, who replied, “A mouse trap, am I in grave danger, huh?”
So the mouse returned to the house, head down and depressed to face the farmer’s mouse trap alone.
That very night a sound was heard throughout the house, like the sound of a mouse trap catching its prey. The farmer’s wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see that it was an evil snake whose tail the trap had caught. The snake bit the farmer’s wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital. She returned home with a fever. Now everyone knew to treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup’s main ingredient. His wife’s sickness continued so that friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig. The farmer’s wife did not get well, in fact, she died, and so many people came for her funeral. The farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide meat for all of them to eat.
So the next time you hear that someone is facing a problem and think that it does not concern you, remember that when the least of us is threatened, we are all at risk.
56. We may infer that the passage is most probably a ______.
A. fairy taleB. fableC. science fictionD. news report
57. We could see from the passage that the mouse was ______.
A. kind and warm-heartedB. well-informed
C. good at cheating othersD. foolish and rude
58. Which of the following is TRUE aording to the passage?
A. The pig was paratively less friendly than the others in the farmyard.
B. The mouse trap that the mouse discovered was not a practical one.
C. The farmer and his wife trapped an evil snake that night.
D. The farmer’s family was in fact poor and they had no friends.
59. The underlined word “ingredient” (Paragraph 7) refers to ______.
A. the mouseB. the pigC. the snakeD. the chicken
B
Our environment isn’t as green and beautiful as it should be. There are steel monsters blocking out the sun, blowing out dangerous smoke, and letting out poisonous chemicals into rivers, cars producing harmful waste gas, people throwing out waste in a wrong way and all other kinds of sources that ruin the pla. Facing current environmental problems, people need to do their best to save the Earth.
You can see many big garbage dustbins in the streets. They’re not there for a show, but for you to drop your waste. We should realize that what a little we do does count. So next time you get that urge to throw gum or a chocolate package out of the car window, or “ aidentally” drop as you walk down the street, ask yourself how much waste you’ve been contributing to the environment with that bad habit going on for years.
At home, the first thing we can do to protect the environment is avoid letting water run continuously and make sure that taps（水龙头）are not leaky（泄露的），which would help greatly in scrimping. Another is to use energy-saving lights, and turn them off before you leave the rooms. It’s not only energy-saving, but also cuts down electricity costs.
Recycling is a method to make items reusable. Many things you want to throw out can be made into new products through the reproducing process. Use your imagination to e up with ways on things that you can use again.
Pass the message of simple ways to save the environment on to kids. Starting with kids is a good way of teaching the message early in their lives, in the hope that they can carry it forward as they grow older.
With environmental protection awareness in mind, we can do what we can, for the results are to have a big effect on the pla. As long as we do our part, the world is one small step closer to being saved.
60. The underlined word “scrimping” in the third paragraph can be replaced by _____.
A. saving B. cleaning C. cooking D. drinking
61. From the fifth paragraph, we can know that ________.
A. protecting the environment begins with small chores
B. protecting the environment should start from childhood.
C. wonderful life es from environmental protection
D. protecting the environment benefits the country and the people
62. Which of the following isn’t true?
A. The more people do their part, the greener the environment will be.
B. Selling what you don’t want any more is a kind of recycling.
C. To protect the environment may help you save some money.
D. Your bad habits for the environment are a valuable contribution.
63. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?
A. The Use of Garbage DustbinB. How to Save Water and Electricity
C. How to Save the EnvironmentD. Our Current Environmental Problems
C
Jasmine Meyers had the last laugh when the ocean swallowed her SUV Monday morning and brought it up an hour later, damaged, on the beach. Meyers was staying in Campbell River’s Eagles Nest Motel（汽车旅馆）during the wild storm that attacked the east coast of Vancouver Island early this week.
“We woke up to my mom screaming ‘Your car! Your car! Your car’s about to go in the water,’”she said Wednesday.
She’d parked her car in the hotel’s parking lot that she described as a sort of a sea wall.
The storm that swept throughout coastal areas hit extra hard in the Campbell River area.
At about 8:30 am the bank below the parking lot gave way. Huge waves caught hold of the Toyota and took it into the water.
Her mother took pictures while the terrible waves pulled the car out to sea. Then Meyers and her family members could only watch helplessly as the car was struck and pushed around in front of the hotel.
“It floated around out there for about an hour.”
Then the ocean spit the car back up on the beach. Meyers said it sat there until Wednesday, when a tow truck finally recovered the destroyed car.
That’s the crazy part of the story. The fun part is what happened next.
“I went mad,” said Meyers. “I didn’t cry because I knew that I had insurance, but I went mad and I didn’t know what to do.”
Yeah, insurance: not just insurance, but replacement insurance.
“Replacement insurance only ever lasts for three years,”said Meyers. “Mine ends on Nov.22 I would have been crying if it had been 10 days later.”
64. Who witnessed the disaster first aording to the passage?
A. Jasmine Meyers. B. Jasmine Meyers’ husband
C. Jasmine Meyers’ mom D. The hotel manager
65. What can we learn about the motel from the passage?
A. It has a large car park. B. It is not far away from the coast.
C. It sells cars and insurance. D. It can stand a storm.
66. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Jasmine is very brave.
B. The car is very expensive
C. The mother enjoys taking pictures
D. The insurance pany will pay for Jasmine’s loss
D.
Everybody in this world is different from one another. But do you know that understanding differences can help you better manage your money?
As we grow up, we gradually develop a set of our own values or beliefs. These are influenced by society, our family, the education we receive and so on. Once this value system is set up, it’s not easy to change later in life.
Financial experts say that everyone also has their own belief of how to manage their finances. This is part of our value system and it has a great impact on the way we look after our money.
Aording to our different values, experts put us in three categories. They are the ant, the cricket and the snail.
◆ The ant― works first
Just like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter, these people don’t care about enjoying the moment. They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire. The ant loves to save but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks with low risk.
◆ The cricket― fun first
The cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn’t think too much about the future. They even borrow money when they really want something. Many young people now belong to this group. These people have little savings. When they get old, they might have problems. They should learn to save and buy insurance.
◆ The snail― lives under pressure
The snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves. They take big long-term loans from the bank in order to buy things such as luxury houses. They are happy to take big loans even though they are not sure they can afford it. This can cause problems in the future. They should plan more carefully.
67. Our beliefs and values are affected by the following except ______.
A. society B. the family C. the education D. money
68. People with the character of the snail would like to _______.
A. enjoy life at the moment without thinking much about the future
B. put work before everything else.
C. live a luxury life at all costs
D. take the risk of investing a large sum of money
69. Which of the following has the character that the author prefers?
A. the antsB. the cricketC. the snailD. none of the above
70. This passage mainly talks about _______.
A. spending nature of people
B. the reaction between man and insects
C. the insects in nature
D. the problems with dealing with money
五、任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)
请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。(每个空格只填1个单词。)
Many people today are worried about the quality of the food they eat. This concern has led to an increasing number of anic products appearing on supermarket shelves. Many people refuse to buy products that contain artificial colorings or preservatives, or foods that e from geically modified (GM) crops, fearing that these foods are unhealthy and can cause cancer and other diseases. Some advocates of geically modified foods consider such attitudes unjustified. I am one of them, and in this essay I will try to justify why I think concerns about GM foods have little value.
First of all, GM foods have been around for almost 20 years. Contrary to the claims of those who oppose GM foods, there have not been any officially reported cases of such foods causing cancer or any other diseases. In fact, research into GM foods has been unable to confirm any harmful effects on human health whatsoever.
Secondly, not everyone can afford anic foods. Climate change and rising fuel costs have led to global increases in the price of food, and as a result, many poor people are spending more money on feeding themselves. Many can hardly afford to buy food. GM plants are generally more resistant to droughts, floods and pests, and have higher production per hectare（公顷）, which leads to more affordable food prices.
The world population keeps growing and is expected to reach eight billion by 2015. People in fast-developing countries such as India and China are consuming more energy and food. The only solution to the ever-increasing demand for food is to grow more GM crops. Unless scientists and governments e up with a better solution, GM foods are here to stay.
To conclude, people are free to eat the food of their choice, whether it is anic or not. However, I think that many people overlook major benefits of GM foods, and instead choose to focus on the unproven negative effects of such foods.

PhenomenonMany people today are worried about the equality of the food they eat, and refused to buy products 71. ________ artificial colorings and preservatives, or foods that e from GM crops.
The author’s attitudeAs an 72. ________ of GM foods, the author consider 73. ________ about GM foods of little value.

74. ________ for the author’s opinion●GM foods have e into 75. ________ for almost 20 years. And there’s no 76.________ showing that GM foods have harmful effects on human health.
●Contrary to anic foods, GM plants are generally more resistant to natural 77. ________ and pests, and have higher production. As a result, more people can afford to buy GM foods.
●GM foods are the only 78. ________ to the increasing demand for food at present.
79. ________People are free to choose what they eat. However, they should 80. ________ on the major benefits of GM foods.

六、书面表达：
Should students make friends online? Students have different opinions on this. Some students say yes. They express their reasons as follows. Firstly, the Inter can help them make various friends. Secondly, they can express their feelings and thoughts freely. Thirdly, chatting online is also helpful for their language study.
However, other students have the opposite view. They have their own reasons. They argue that chatting online is a waste of time, and that their time should be spent meaningfully on study. In addition, some students get cheated online.
From my point of view, making online friends is not a bad thing if we are careful enough. Anyway, the Inter widens our eyes and enriches our knowledge. However, we should not spend too much time on it and we need to be careful with the people we chat with. Only in this way can making online friends be valuable to us.
