5．With one of my best friends overseas at the moment，enjoying romance in Costa Rica，the job of looking after her dog has fallen to me．A few months ago，Missy came to my friend's house at the request of a local vet，and she has been abused during her brief life．
When we first visited my friend and Missy，my friend had to gently pull her over on a lead to get her to come to us．We waited about ten minutes while Missy ran back and forth，wanting to come but being terrified to do so，each step coming closer，then running away，and then coming another step closer．Once she was within reach of our hands，she allowed affection and received completely．In fact，once we began，there was no getting rid of her．She could not get enough of it．Even so，she would be weak in her hind legs，scared to stand full height，still showing signs of where she had been beaten and hurt，half expecting to be yelled at or beaten-the poor，beautiful thing．
Obviously Missy came to the right home．My friend has given birth to a baby of her own and shows the loving mother energy without effort．This is just what Missy has needed．In the couple of months since I first met this lovely dog she has，step by step，evolved into a new dog，thanks to the love of my friend．Sadly，there are still signs of her injuries．She still does her dance of running away before coming forward with most people．
I have also just discovered that Missy has some injury associated with cameras or some kind of equipment．Each time I took my camera out to take a photo of her，she ran away，very frightened．So for the sake of her wellbeing over her vanity（自负） I will settle for the first photo I took before she ran from the camera．
Over the last two weeks，my bond with Missy has strengthened daily，with long walks，lots of affection，and the most communicative eye contact a dog could ever offer．She is a beautiful soul and what that dear dog must have gone through，I hate to imagine．In quiet times together，Missy now trusts me enough to roll over completely，so I can rub her belly．When standing，she will jump up ever so gently to be closer to me，putting her paws on my legs as she looks at me with those beautiful eyes．And for the first time since I've known her，I now see her tail wag regularly as she runs around the yard with me，or whenever I speak with her．
Missy is the most courageous，trusting soul I have known for a long time．Despite the effects of the hurt she has once suffered before，she has dared to trust again，to allow love in，and to realize that not everyone is like the people she used to meet．The unconditional love that dogs give to their companions is a great lesson for us all the best of times．But seeing Missy's courage in trying to trust again，I think she plays the role of a gentle teacher as well．When she dares to trust again，she does not know what lies ahead．Simply what she needs is to try to trust again，in order to allow love in and for her own happiness．If only all the people of the world who are carrying injure and fear from former hurts had the courage of Missy to try again，to open their hearts，and to know that not everyone they are meeting or will meet are the same kinds of people as before．Keep it in mind that tomorrow is another day．

3．Section B （10 marks）
Directions：Read the following passage．Complete the diagram by using the information for the passage．Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer．
When Should a Leader Apologize and When Not？
Why Difficult？
When we wrong someone we know，even not intentionally，we are generally expected to apologize so as to improve the situation．But when we're acting as leaders，the circumstances are different．The act of apology is carried out not only at the level of the individual but also at the level of the institution．It is a performance in which every expression matters and every word becomes part of the public record．Refusing to apologize can be smart，or it can be stupid．So，readiness to apologize can be seen as a sign of strong character or as a sign of weakness．A successful apology can turn hate into personal and organizational harmony-while an apology that is too little，too late，or too obviously strategic can bring on individual and institutional ruin．What，then，is to be done？How can leaders decide if and when to apologize publicly？
Why Now？
The question of whether leaders should apologize publicly has never been more urgent．During the last decade or so，the United States in particular has developed an apology culture-apologies of all kinds and for all sorts of wrongdoings are made far more frequently than before．More newspaper writers have written about the growing importance of public apologies．More articles，cartoons，advice columns，and radio and television programs have similarly dealt with the subject of private apologies．
Why Bother？
Why do we apologize？Why do we ever put ourselves in situations likely to be difficult，embarrassing，and even risky？Leaders who apologize publicly could be an easy target．They are expected to appear strong and capable．And whenever they make public statements of any kind，their individual and institutional reputations are in danger．Clearly，then，leaders should not apologize often or lightly．For a leader to express apology，there needs to be a good，strong reason．Leaders will publicly apologize if and when they think the costs of doing so are lower than the costs of not doing so．
Why Refuse？
Why is it that leaders so often refuse to apologize，even when a public apology seems to be in order？Their reasons can be individual or institutional．Because leaders are public figures，their apologies are likely to be personally uncomfortable and even professionally risky．Leaders may also be afraid that the admission of a mistake will damage or destroy the organization for which they are responsible．There can be good reasons for hanging tough in tough situations，as we shall see，but it is a high-risk strategy．

-→•Public apology is much more than a（an）（61）personal/individualact．
•It's no（62）easyjob to strike a balance between apologizing or not．
•Apologies not （63）properly/appropriately/successfully/rightlyoffered can bring on individual and institutional ruin．
Why has the issue of public apology been so（64）urgentnow in USA？-→•In an （65）apology culture，admission of all sorts of wrongdoings is more required than before．
•The（66）growing importanceof public apologies has been widely reported in the mass media．
-→•Being public figures，leaders are supposed to appear （67）strong and capable．
•There needs to be a sufficient reason for a leader to （68）express apology/apologizein public．-→•Making apologies is likely to be personally uncomfortable and  （69）（even） professionally risky．
•Admission of a mistake or wrongdoing will probably do （70）damage/harmto their organization．
2．Dear Joe，
It has been a long time since we meet last time．How's everything going？
I use to be a happy boy．As I grow up day by day，I find life is not as relaxed as before．How I miss the days which I didn't have so much homework．I could watching TV，read magazines or do sports．But now，my parents don't allow me do anything except my lessons．They think it is a waste of time．They say，"You've grow up，you should work hard to achieve your dreams．''I know they love her and all these are good for me．But I feel stressed，not knowing how to do next．Luckily，my head teacher understands me．She tells me that growing up is a long way．Facing growing pains，I have been learnt a lot．What about you，Joe？
                                                  Yours，Li Hua．
1．The Lifesaving Dog
Three-year-old Alida Knobloch and her 60-pound golden dog，Mr．Gibbs，are almost inseparable．They are （41）Dby a special link of love and，because of （42）Arare lung disease，by a two-foot tube that delivers（43）A from tanks on the dog's back to Alida's nose．（44）Cat eight months old with the disease called NEHI，Alida，who lives inGeorgia，is （45）Cto breathe normally on her own for more than 45minutes．So Mr．Gibbs （46）Bher almost everywhere，carrying ten pounds of （47）D，including an oxygen tank．
Young children normally don't have the （48）Cto control a service dog，but Mr．Gibbs and Alida，along with her（49）A，have worked closely with dog trainer Ashleigh Kinsleigh to develop the（50）Brelationship between the girl and the dog．
"His job is to do（51）Dshe does，"says Kinsleigh．So far，Mr．Gibbs has learned to jog （52）DAlida's bike，follow her as she plays around the family home，and park himself below her high（53）Cwhile she eats．
"We're（54）Athat by the time Alida starts kindergarten，Mr．Gibbs will be able to go with her，"says her father．
Childhood （55）Bexperts have told the Knoblochs that children can grow out of the necessity for additional oxygen，but Alida will probably always（56）D some kind of oxygen assistance．Now the Knoblochs can't（57）C a time the two companions won't be（58）B．Mr．Gibbs seems to need Alida as much as she needs him，says Aaron．"The dog is upset if he and Alida are （59）Aeven for a moment．"

20．Studying longer does not necessarily mean studying better．（36）GBelow are some great ways of learning as much as you can without getting too stressed．
Find the right place to study．
The first thing you need to do is avoid distractions （分散注意力的事物） while studying．
（37）CYou should keep away from television sets and phone calls．Get all of your study materials together，so you will not be interrupted in the middle of your session．
Break down the tasks into smaller parts．
When you have gotten everything ready，list the items you need to study，and arrange them across several hours or days，depending on how big your load is．As a general rule，assign（分配） at least one hour to each subject．（38）FBy doing this，you will be able to know more easily how long you need for each topic．
Schedule study breaks．
When you have listed all of your tasks and made a schedule，you should arrange（安排）study breaks．（39）BThis will give your eyes some time to rest，and yourself a chance to go to the bathroom or have some coffee．Scheduled breaks will reduce the need for you to interrupt yourself to the lowest level during the study session．
Put your tasks in the order of importance．
（40）AJust in case you run out of time to study，or if you think you do not have enough time to cover all topics，you should study in an order．

A．Learn to arrange the subjects in the order of importance．
B．Each break may take about 15 minutes every two hours．
C．This means going to one place that will give you peace and quiet．
D．The key to efficient studying is following the schedule strictly．
E．You can find a way to test your knowledge by having a study partner．
F．If you have a broad subject，you will need to break it down into smaller parts．
G．To make the best use of your time，you need to learn how to study efficiently（高效地）．
19．Do you hear that birds of a feather flock together？ It certainly appears that they do．We are likely to hang around with individuals who are similar to ourselves．Poor people like to surround themselves with other poor people，and rich people with other rich people．Intelligent people associate with like-minded people，and artists typically seek out other artists．
It appears that we all have comfort zones we attempt to stay within．Very stressed and poor people don't feel comfortable associating with rich people．We owe it to each other to be successful because success breeds more success．And if we are not feeling successful，looking at who we have as friends and associates can tell us and others a lot about ourselves and why．The longer we associate with a group of individuals，the more our thinking processes become like theirs．
A few years ago，a doctor friend of mine began associating with a new group of people．At the time，he had a successful practice and a positive and grateful attitude to life．'However，within the first six months of his association with these individuals，his attitude and goals changed，he was angry at'how things were and was dissatisfied with those who'd become his opposition．He became very stubborn，As a result，his practice dropped in quality of service．His facial expressions often showed anger and stress．
After about two years of association with this group，he learned some valuable lessons．He realized that always focusing on problems or being dissatisfied with others doesn't lead to a rewarding life，nor does it solve as many problems as/t creates．He decided that he'd rather get back into serving his patients．
This doctor put his heart and soul into his practice，and his life changed again．He began to attract people who focused on solutions instead of problems．His success was now more obvious than his stress-his achievement more obvious than his frustration．
Whom we hang out with does make a difference．The old saying"If you want to soar（翱翔） with the eagles，don't flock with the turkeys．"has a point

32．What does the underlined part"birds of a feather flock together thin Paragraph l mean'？D
A．Birds like to take a risk to fly high in the sky．
B．Birds are more likely to fly together than other creatures．
C．People are more likely to have different attitudes to life．
D．People of the same kind are found together．
33．We can infer from the passage that the individuals the doctor hung out with wereA．
A．stressed          B．successful         C．patient           D．rich
34．The author uses the old saying in the last paragraph toB．
A．show his great literary talent
B．make his article more persuasive
C．raise another similar question
D．suggest the end of his article
35．The author uses the doctor's example to prove thatD．
A．bad luck never comes alone
B．success breeds more success
C．someone has no control over his own life
D．people are likely to become like those who they associate with．
18．When enjoying children's birthdays or a long-expected family holiday，you may usually want to keep those important moments in mind with a photograph．But if you're one of those people who can't stop snapping photos at an important event，beware---you could end up forgetting it all in a flash．
Experts have warned that the addiction to recording every moment of our lives could be having an adverse effect on our memories．
Maryanne Garry，a New Zealand psychology professor，has been studying how the frequent taking of photos might change childhood memories．"I think the problem is that people are forgetting to experience the moment，"she says．Parents at the park taking one photo after another of their children，for example，are actually paying less attention to what is happening around them．The picture only captures a small part of the total experience．And because parents remember less about these important events，they become less effective in their role as the key people who help children learn how to talk about their experiences．As a result．children's own childhood memories are reduced．
The idea that we are experiencing less as we record more got psychologist Linda Henkel's thinking．She wanted to explore how photographs shape our memories．
Henkel who researches human memory at Fairfield  University in Connecticut，did an experiment by sending groups of students to the university's art museum．The students observed some objects and photographed others．then，back at the laboratory，they were given a memory test．Henkel found what she called a"photo-taking effect"．the students remembered fewer of the objects that they had taken photo of，and they remembered fewer details about those objects．She says her students memories were worse because they were relying on the camera to remember the details for them．
"As soon as you hit‘click'on that camera，it's as if you've decreased your memory．"she says．

24．What does the word"it"in Paragraph l refer to？B
A．A child's birthday．
B．An important event，
C．A valuable photograph．
D．A family holiday．
25．How did Henkel develop her theory about the"photo-taking effect"？A
A．By carrying out an experiment．
B．By giving a questionnaire．
C．By interviewing a group of students．
D．By researching the findings of the others．
26．According to Paragraph 3，why are children's memories reduced？D
A．Flash lights are causing children to forget more things．
B．Parents are into listening to children's experiences．
C．Children are more into taking photos than experiencing，
D．Parents are less effective in helping children discuss their experiences．
27．What's the purpose of this passage？B
A．To introduce a new discovery in taking photos．
B．To discuss the effect of photo-taking on memory．
C．To explain how to use cameras in an effective way．
D．To describe the ways of remembering valuable experiences．
17．Now cities are full of cars．Some families even have two or more cars．Parking is a great problem，and so is the traffic in around the cities．Something will have to be done to change it．What will the cars of tomorrow be like？
Little cars may someday take the place of today's big cars．If everyone drives little cars in the future，there will be less pollution in the air．There will also be more space for parking cars in cities，and the streets will be less crowded．Three little cars can fit in the space now needed for one car of the usual size．
Little cars will cost much less to own and to drive．Driving will be safer，too．What is more，these little cars can go about 65 kilometers per hour．
Little cars of the future will be fine for getting around a city，but they will not be useful for long trips．If big cars are still used along with the small ones，two sets of roads will be needed in the future．Some roads will be used for the big，fast cars，and other roads will be needed for the slower small ones．

33．Bis the big problem for those people who have cars．
A．Money    B．Parking  C．Driver  D．Waiting
34．The little car's size may beA today's car's size．
A．one third of B．two thirds of  C．as big as  D．as small as

16．假如你校要举办一场主题为"朋友"的英语演讲比赛，请你用英语写一篇100词左右的演讲稿．开头已经给出，不计入总词数．要点如下：
1．朋友的真谛，尊重并信任朋友；
2．择友的标准；
3．如何对待朋友，至少两点；
4．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯；
5．文中不得透露个人姓名和学校名称．
Good morning，everyone．I'd like to share my ideas about friends with you．
Friends are the people who can share our happiness and sorrow．As friends，respect and trust are the most important factors．They will accept you for who you are without trying to change you．Trust is another aspect．A true friend will be honest and be someone you can depend on．
When it comes to making friends，I would like to make friends with those who are kind，honest and responsible．
But how to treat friends is the key to making good friends．First，understand them more．I usually put myself in their shoes so that we can share lots of ideas together．Second，listen to them more．I like listening and talking things over with them．
Thanks for listening．．
