11．Tonight，my piano recital（钢琴演奏会） was the most important thing in my family．My grandparents were coming by plane to hear me play．Even my busy Aunt Dianne，who is on TV every night reading the news，was coming．
But one thing was for sure．I would never win an award for my piano playing．And
that's just because the more I practiced，the more nervous I got．So there I was，on the stage，in my beautiful dress，and I sat down at the piano．But when I started to play，I hit a wrong note．I told myself to start over．But then I hit the wrong note again．It was as if I hadn't practiced at all．
Finally the disaster was over．I ran off the stage．I couldn't understand why audience（观众） were clapping．But they were．My mom and dad had flowers for me and we were all supposed to go out for a nice dinner，but I couldn't．I just wanted to go home and cry and never go anywhere again．After we went back home，Aunt Dianne just came in and sat down on the side of my bed．
"It was my first night on the air，"she said．"I had never been on television before and I made a mistake．I mispronounced my name and the name of the news show．And you know what？No one even noticed but me．Just like tonight，no one noticed-just you．"Aunt Dianne was right．I think we are harder on ourselves than anyone else is．Maybe I will leave my room．And maybe I'll play the piano again．

12．There has been much discussion recently about reducing the weight of English in China's high-stake tests such as the national college entrance examination．It is argued by some applauding the recent change to reduce the importance of English in tests so that it will lead students to focus more on learning Chinese．The TV program Writing in Chinese has exposed the problem that students and the general public cannot write in Chinese as they used to do．
Some blame the design of the curriculum for giving English an equal or greater amount of emphasis，which might have contributed to the failure in teaching Chinese．But this is probably not a fair accusation since children in English speaking countries cannot spell either．
I doubt that studying English in itself hurts the study of Chinese．In fact，high achievers in English or another foreign language are more likely to be high achievers in Chinese．It has been proved many times in recent Chinese history that those capable of using a foreign language are also masters in their mother tongue．Qian Zhongshu，Lu Xun and Lin Yutang are just a few examples．
Another trend of thought for curriculum reform is related to the perception of"worth"．It is true that English is one of the subjects that students do spend too much time on，with pitiful results．This makes some doubt if it is worth giving it priority．But this is not a sound argument either as students still need to study things that matter more to their future in spite of challenges learning English presents to them．
Improvements in Chinese language education should not be achieved by sacrificing another important subject．There should be a robust（健康的） foreign language education program，as a foreign language improves a student's future job prospects．Bashing（抨击） English education as a waste of time or using it as a goat for failures in Chinese education are both harmful tendencies．
To be constructive，we ought to start a dialogue on ways to make improvements in learning outcomes so that students'time learning English is spent more effectively．There are a few things that could improve English education，such as assessment design，learner motivation and teaching style，
I am sure there are many other areas where changes can greatly improve the effectiveness and efficiency of English learning．The public discourse at present is a little oversimplified．People are arguing for or against English having less weight in major tests，when the dialogue should be taken a step further，to the improvement of learning or teaching methods that may benefit the teaching of other subjects as well，Chinese included．

63．In paragraph 3 Qian Zhongshu，Lu Xun and Lin Yutang are mentioned toB．
  A．show respect for their capabilities of learning languages
  B．prove English and Chinese are not contradictory
  C．confirm the importance of learning English in China
  D．tell the readers English Education is to blame
64．According to the passage，which of the following statements is right？C
  A．The TV program Writing in Chinese is very popular at present．
  B．Good results of learning English are not worth so much time．
  C．Some are in favor of attaching less importance to English in exams．
  D．Sacrificing English can improve Chinese language education．
65．In the writer's opinion，what should be done to solve the argument？D
  A．Increasing time spent in learning Chinese．
  B．Increasing time spent in learning English．
  C．Reducing the weight of English in examinations．
  D．Improving the learning outcomes effectively．
66．Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage？A
A．English education is still important in China．
B．Chinese education is more important in China．
C．English contributes to the failure in teaching Chinese              
D．Ways to make improvements in learning Chinese．
9．Blind imitation is self-destruction．To those who do not recognize their unique worth，imitation appears attractive； to those who know their strength，imitation is unacceptable．
In the early stages of skill or character development，imitation is helpful．When I first learned to cook，I used recipes （菜谱） and turned out some tasty dishes．But soon I grew bored．Why follow someone else's way of cooking when I could create my own？Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child's bicycle； they help you get going，but once you find your own balance，you fly faster and farther without relying on them．
In daily life，imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously （下意识地） hold poor role models．If，as a child，you observed people whose lives were bad，you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did．If you do not make strong choices for yourself，you will get the results of the weak choices of others．
In the field of entertainment，our culture glorifies celebrities．Those stars look great on screen．But when they step off screen，their personal lives may be disastrous．If you are going to follow someone，focus on their talent，not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors．
Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique．Think of the movies，books，teachers，and friends that have affected you most deeply．They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration，not desperation．The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them，but by those who do what has been done inside them．Creative people have an endless resource of ideas．The problem a creator faces is not running out of material； it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination．
Study your role models，accept the gifts they have given，and leave behind what does not serve you．Then you can say，"I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors'tragedies and declare victory，and know that they are cheering me on．"

36．Imitation proves useful when youC．
A．know you are unique
B．lose the balance of life
C．begin to learn something new
D．get tired of routine practice
37．To avoid the bad result of imitation，we shouldB．
A．forget daily fear and pain
B．choose the right example
C．ask others for decisions
D．stay away from stars
38．According to the author，the world moves on because of those who areB．
A．desperate to influence others with their knowledge
B．ready to turn their original ideas into reality

A．the lack of strong motivation
B．the absence of practical ideas

D．how to use imagination creatively
40．What is the author's purpose in writing this passage？A
A．To highlight the importance of creativity．
B．To criticize the characters of role models．
C．To compare imitation with creation．
D．To explain the meaning of success．
16．We _weigh the pros and cons before deciding whether to invest our money or let it stay in the bank．（　　）

6．In a research on the effect of the transport sector（运输领域）on climate，it proves that road traffic contributes the most to global warming．The aviation（航天）sector has the second largest warming effect while shipping has a cooling effect on the Earth's Climate．
The study concludes that since pre-industrial times，15%of CO₂emissions（排放量） made by humans have come from the transport sector．The study implies that more attention needs to be paid to the fast growing road sector．Looking only at CO₂emissions，road traffic alone has led to two-thirds of the warming caused by total transport emissions．The reason why road transport tops the list is mainly due to the large number of vehicles on the roads and the smaller cooling effect from their emissions．The researchers said that the road emissions of today will make Up three quarters of the warming caused by transport over the next hundred years．
Following road transport，aviation is the second largest transport contributor to global warming．However，the historical contribution from aviation emissions to global warming is more than doubled the contribution from road emissions．In fact，over the next 100years，today's road emissions will have a climate effect that is four times higher than the climate effect from today's aviation emissions．
For shipping，the picture is more complicated．Until now，shipping has had a cooling effect on climate．This is because shipping produces a large amount of S02，which has a cooling effect．However，although the gas，until now，has given the shipping industry a cooling effect，this effect will disappear after a while，as the gas doesn't last long in the atmosphere．The long-lived CO₂will dominate（占优势），giving shipping a warming effect in the long run．
In general，the transport sector's contribution to global warming will be continuously high in the future．

53．What can we learn about road traffic？D
A．It has the second largest warming effect on climate．
B．It produces l5%of all CO₂into the air every year．
C．It created more CO₂emissions than aviation in history．
D．Its CO₂emissions will probably increase in future．
54．Shipping has a cooling effect becauseC．
A．shipping conditions have been improved
B．the amount of ships at sea is small
C．it produces a gas which has a cooling effect
D．the gas it produces can absorb CO₂
55．The underlined phrase in paragraph 4probably means"A"．
A．after a long time    B．in a tiring race
C．all the time         D．during a long voyage
56．The passage mainly talks aboutB．
A．the effect of CO₂0n global climate
B．the effect from traffic on global warming
C．how to choose a green way to travel
D．why transport produces so much CO₂

10．At just six years old，Joey Kilpatrick is Australia's unofficial hide-and-seek（捉迷藏）champion after he hid in a bedroom cupboard for eight hours while playing his favorite game，causing a big rescue operation．
     The determined little boy's disappearing act led to a careful search，including nice police officers，five State Emergency Service volunteers，tracker dogs and almost all of the people of the town of Goombungee．
     His mother，Chris，says she called the police when Joey disappeared one afternoon after telling his older brother，Lachlan，14，that he was off to play hide-and-seek．

     But there was no sign of her little boy．Within minutes of Chris calling the police，the policemen started one of the biggest ground searches in the town's history．
"I was really frightened．I rang my husband，Kris，who works out of town，and he immediately hit the road，calling me every 10 minutes．"Chris recalls．"They searched the house from top to bottom； everyone was out looking for him．When a neighbor asked if I'd checked the water tank，that's when reality hit．I was afraid．"
    After hours of searching the town，confused（困惑的）police decided to search the house one more time．

Senior officer，Chris Brameld，from Goombungee police，says he is glad that Joey's game had a happy ending："When we realized he was safe，we agreed that it didn't get much better than that!"
    And young Joey promises that next time he won't be so intent（专注于） on finding the best hiding place．"I want to say sorry to the policemen and to Mummy for scaring them，"he says，"I promise next time I'll hide where they can find me and I won't fall asleep!"
