9.October 17,1989is a day San Francisco will never forget.On that day,an uncommon number of tragedies took place.It was also a day when total strangers became linked.The story of Jim Betts and Julio Berumen is a moving example of one such meeting.
On that day,Petra Berumen took her daughter Cathy to the dentist.Also in the car was her son six-year-old Julio and their family friend Yolanda.Soon after Petra drove onto the highway,disaster struck.Without warning,the earth began to shake.
The damage was terrible.Hugh trees bent as if they were made of rubber.Streets cracked and buildings collapsed.At least a stretch of the highway had crashed onto the lower level.
Then as quickly as it started,the earthquake stopped.The Berumens's car had been crushed be the steel.Petra and Yolanda were killed instantly.Cathy escaped unhurt but Julio,though still alive,was in danger.Not only was his right leg pinned down by the steel,he was also squeezed between the dead bodies of his mother and Yolanda.
Rescuers had calmed Julio by the time Jim Betts,a doctor from Oakland Hospital,arrived.For two hours,Jim tried to free Julio with two bare hands.He did not stop to worry about the fact that aftershocks could send the highway to the ground.As soon as Julio was breathing,Jim kept working.However,Julio was languishing.Jim realized that he had only one choice.He would have to cut the boy's right leg at the knee.Conditions were far from ideal.It was hot inside the car.Darkness had fallen outside.
With great care,Jim started the operation.He had to try risky methods.Finally Julio was free.
Those hours on the highway were like a nightmare.Jim said:"If my family members were up there badly hurt,they would urgently need help like that."Though the day the earthquake tore many things apart,it also brought brave people together.

8.A man who knows how to write a personal letter has a very powerful tool.A letter can be enjoyed,read and(21)reread.It can set up a warm conversation between two people far apart (远离的);it can keep a(22)friendshipwith very little effort.
 I will give (23)an example.A few years ago my older brother and l were not getting (24)along.Wehad been close as (25)childrenbut had grown apart.Our meetings were not(26)pleasant; ourconversation was filled with arguments and quarrels:and every effort to clear the air seemed to only(27)deepenour misunderstanding.Then he(28)moved toa small island in the Caribbean and we(29)losttouch.One day he wrote me a letter.He described his island and its people,told me
  what he was doing,said how he felt,and encouraged me to (30)write.Rereading the letter,I was(31)surprisedby its humor(幽默)and clever expressions.These were all qualities for which I had(32)oncerespected my older brother but (33)thoughthe no longer had them.I had never known he could write so(34)well.And with that one letter we became friends (35)again.
  It might never have occurred to (36)mybrotherto write me if he had not been in a place where  there were no(37)phones.For him,writing was a necessity.It also turned out to be the best way for us to get back in touch.Because we live in an age of (38)easy communication(通讯),people often (39)forget that they don't always have to phone or email.They have a  (40)choice.And that is to write.

7.阅读下面短文,掌握其大意.然后从21-30各题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.
      Every country has its own culture.
      Even though each country uses doors,doors may have (21)practical functions and purposes which lead to (22)cultural differences.
      When I first to came to America,I noticed that a public building had two different (23)signs  and they had distinct functions.You have to push the door with the word"PUSH"to go out of the building and to pull the door with the word"PULL"to(24)enter the building.This was new to me,because we use the (25)same door in South Korea.For quite a few times I failed to go out of a shopping centre and was embarrassed.
      The way of using school bus doors was also (26)strange to me.I used to take the school bus to closes.The school decided that when the driver opened both the front and back doom,(27)students
who were getting off the bus should get off first,and students who were getting on should get on (28)later.in South Korea,we do not need to wait for people to get off.One morning I hurried to the bus,and when the bus doors opened,I (29)unconsciouslytried to get on the school bus through the front door.All the students around looked at me.I was totally (30)embarrassed,and my face went red.

6.Most people give little thought to the pens they write with,especially since the printer.In modern homes and offices mean that very(36)fewthings are handwritten.All too often,people buy a pen based only on(37)looks,and wonder why  they are not satisfied(38)onceThey begin to use it.However,buying a Pen that you'11 enjoy is not(39)difficultif You keep the following in mind.
  First of all.a pen should fit comfortably in your hand and be(40)easyto use.The thickness of the pen is the most important characteristic(特征)(41)determiningcomfort.Having  a small hand and thick fingers,you may be comfortable with a thin pen.If you have a(42)1argerhand and thicker fingers,you may(43)prefera  fatter pen.The length of 8 pen call(44)alsow influence comfort.A pen that is t00(45)longcan easily feel top-heavy and unstable.
  Then,the writing point of the pen should(46)allowthe ink to flow evenly(均匀地)while the pen remains in touch with the paper.(47)Thiswill make it possible for you to  create a (48)smooth   line of writing.The point should also be sensitive enough to (49)prevent  ink  from running when the pen is lifted.A point that does not block the (50)flow  may leave drops of ink,(51)as  you pick t he pen up and put it down again.
   (52)Finally,the pen should make a thick,dark line.Fine-line pens may  (53)compensate for  bad handwriting,but fine,delicate lines do not command (54)attention  next to printed text,as,(55)For example,a signature on a printed letter.A broad line,on other hand,gives an impression of confidence and authority (权威).

5.Directions:Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.Each word can only be used once.Note that there is one word more than you need.
A.accessB.alternativesC.assignedD.confirmedE.conflictingF.elements
G.functionH.innovativeI.prospectiveJ.separateK.supporting
Considering how much time people spend in offices,it is important that work be well designed.Well-designed office spaces help create a cooperation's image.They motivate workers and they make an impression on people who visit and might be potential or,(41)prospective,customer.They make businesses work better,and they are a part of the corporate culture we live in.
As we move away from an industrial-based economy to a knowledge-based one,office designers have come up with (42)alternativesto the traditional work environments of the past.The design industry has moved away from a fixed office setup and created more flexible"strategic management environments."These (43)innovative solutions are to meant to support better organizational performances.
As employee hierarchies (等级制度) have flattened or decreased,office designers‘response to this change has been to move open-plain areas to more desirable locations within the office,and create fewer formal private offices.The need for increased flexibility has also been (44)confirmedby changes in work station design.Offices and work spaces often are not (45)assignedto a given person on a permanent basis because of changes to method of working,new designs allow for expansion or movement of desks,storage,and equipment within the workstation.Another important design goal is communication,which designers have improved by lowering the walls that (46)separate workstations.Designers have also created informal gathering places,and upgraded employees'(47)access to heavily trafficked areas such as copy and coffee rooms.
Corporate and institutional office designers often struggle to resolve a number of competing and often (48)conflictingdemands,including budgetary limits,employee hierarchies,and technological innovation(especially in relation to computerization).These demands must also be balanced with the need to create interiors(内饰) that in some way enhance,establish,or promote a company‘s image and will enable employees to (49)functionat their best.All these (50)elementsof office design are related.The most successful office designs are like a good marriage--the well-designed office and the employees that occupy it are seemingly made for each other.
2.The first attempt of even the most talented artists,musicians,and writers is seldom a masterpiece,If you consider your drafts as dress rehearsals (彩排),or tryouts,revising will seem a natural part of the writing (50)process.
   What is the purpose of the dress rehearsals and the out-of-town previews that many Broadway shows go through?The answer is adding,deleting,replacing,reordering,(51)in other wordsrevising.Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical Phantom of the Opera underwent such a process.
    When Lloyd Webber began writing in 1984,he had in mind a funny,exciting production.However,when Phantom opened in London in 1986,the audience saw a moving psychological love story set to music.The musical had. (52)undergoneseveral revisions due,in part,to problems with costuming and makeup (戏服和化妆).For instance,Lloyd Webber(53)rewrote some of the music because the Phantom's makeup prevented the actor from singing certain sounds.
    When you revise,you change aspects of your work in (54)responseto your evolving purpose,or  to include (55)freshideas or newly discovered information.
    Revision is not just an afterthought that gets only as much time as you have at the end of an assignment. (56)Instead,it is a major stage of the writing process,and writers revise every step of the way.Even your decision to (57)switch.topics while prewriting is a type of revising.However.don't make the mistake of skipping the revision stage that follows (58)drafting.Always make time to become your own (59)audienceand view your dress rehearsal,so to speak.Reviewing your work in this way can give you (60)valuablenew ideas.
   Revising involves (61)assessingthe effectiveness and appropriateness of  all aspects of your writing,making your purpose more clearly,and refocusing or developing the facts and ideas you present.When you revise,ask yourself the following questions,keeping in mind the audience for whom you are writing:Is my main idea or purpose (62)clearthroughout my draft?Do I ever lose sight of my purpose?Have I given my readers all of the (63)information  that is,facts,opinions,
inferences--that they need in order to understand my main idea?Finally,have I included too many (64)unnecessary details that may confuse readers?
