I was helping in my son’s
classroom a while ago when I saw a 1poster that reads．“Sticks and stones may break my
bones but words can break my heart”．Teachers are such an important part of a
child’s life．A 21 support determines how safe a child feels
in school．A teacher’s 22 determines how much risk a child
will take in the classroom．A teacher’s understanding determines how
important a child
And the influence that a
teacher has on a child does not 25 ．when the school 26 rings the end of the day．27 ,
those feelings that are developed in the classroom 28 with the child and，in a large part，determine what sort of evening the
child and his or her family will have．The importance of a teacher to a child is
clear and 29 be too highly thought of．
Both my children are 30
to have unusual and wonderful teachers．As a result， they love going ro school almost as 31
as they love speaking like a teacher．For example，one of Hannah’s 32
phrases is used when I make a mistake：she looks at me with understanding 33
says，“It’s okay to make mistakes，mama，because you’re only 34
．”But perhaps my favorite is what．Jacob says to his sister when she says
something he doesn’t like．With his hand 35
his heart，he says，“Don’t say that because words can 36
my heart．”And every time I hear such
37 ，my heart 38
with gratefulness for the wonderful teachers who make my children
feel safe，important，and successful in the classroom，and who are helping my children achieve
emotional 39．
We need only to look at the
students．Children 40 teachers’words and actions， and the content of those
reflections shows a teacher’s greatness．

第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）
第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）
A
Advertising actually has a
dual(双重的)function：to sell，as well as to inform．If you stop to think of it，advertisements(ads)provide
information of almost everything in our household and immediate environment，from shampoo to fuel for cars．An obvious purpose is to inform
consumers of new products and services as well as to remind them of established
ones．Performance，price，value for money，quality and reliability are some
of the main features mentioned in ads．
Yet there is another
important side of advertising that should not be forgotten：choice．A number of ads for different
brands of the same product，e．g．toothpaste，shampoo or washing powder allow the consumer
to choose．Choice is an important part of buying．
In this busy day and age，there is little time for
comparison shopping．To determine which product is the best to buy，and at the most competitive price，consumers these days rely on
advertising in its various forms．This saves time and energy and makes shopping
easier．
Few can deny that ads benefit the consumer since they encourage healthy competition．When companies compete for the consumer’s dollar，this is good for the purchaser of the product or service．Advertising tends to increase competition since it informs consumers of what is available．One company’s offer will be either matched or bettered by another company in its advertising．
It was unheard of ten years ago to buy products directly using a personal computer，but it has become a matter of course for some people to browse(浏览)the Internet，surf until they find an e commerce site and then select the product．Marketing products has been almost turned upside down by new ways of selling and buying．More than at any time in history，the choice of goods is unlimited．The whole world is a customer’s marketplace．For busy people like you and me，advertisements actually do us a favor．
41．What the writer of this passage wants to tell us most is that―――――――――．
A．advertisements benefit busy people in many ways
B advertisements encourage more business competitions
C advertisements provide main features of new products
D selling and informing are two functions of advertising
42．Which is least discussed in the passage as, one of the important sides of advertising?
A．To inform consumers of new
products and services．
B To provide consumers with chances to choose．
C To increase healthy competition of companies．
D To change the way of selling and buying．
43．The“comparison shopping”refers to the behavior of ．
A．comparing and buying a product at the lowest price
B．comparing and deciding which is the best to buy
C．relying on advertising and simplifying shopping
D．buying a product at the least competitive price
44．Healthy competition benefits consumers because―――――――――．
A it helps companies to compete for the market
B．it gets companies to improve their services
C．it provides them with the best products and services
D．it gives them many chances to choose their products
B
Dinner was almosl ready when the killing occurred．When Don Wise wandered into the living room of his home，his ten-year-old son，Mike，and a 12-year-old friend were sitting in front of a large-screen television set．They were playing a video game they had rented called Goldeneye 007，one of the top-selling titles of 2007．
Standing behind the boys，Wise saw that one boy pushed the button and shot the character in the face．Blood splattered(喷溅)the lab coat of the character as he circled and fell．“You’re down!”the boy said，laughing．
Frightened bv the child’s obvious fun，Wise ordered the boys to turn the game off．“This game is terrible．’’he said seriously．“I don’t want you to playwith this any more．’’ Video games have become。pervasive form of entertainment since the 1990s．Today an eslimated 69 percent of American families own or rent video and computer games．Most are harmless entertainment，but in far too many of the most popular ones，kids are acting out realistic violent experiences on their TV and computer sereens．“These are not just games any more，”says Rick Dyer，president of the San Diego-based Virtual Image Productions and an outspoken critic of titles with violent and sexual content．“These are learning machines．We’re teaching kids in the most incredible manner what it’s like to pull the trigger(扳机)．The focus is on the thrilt，enjoyment and reward．What they’re not realizing are the real life consequences．’’
Such video games introduce kids to a fantasy world that features amazingly lifelike characters，detailed images of brutality(野蛮)，and an audio mix of heart-pounding muslc．stereo sound effects and realistic voices．Unlike movies and television，where you watch the violence，the vedio game lets you feel the sensation of taking violent actions． When you’re into the game，you’re in the game．
“The technology is becoming more engaging for kids，”says David Walsh，president of the National Institute on Media and the Family(NIMF)，a watchdog group in Minneapolis，“and a part of the games~eatures anti―social themes of violence，sex and rude language．Unfortunately，it’s a part that seems particularly popular with kids between ages 8 to15．”
45．Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of this passage?
A．Video game violence is very harmful to kids．
B．Video game is a common form of entertainment．
C．Video game violence is popular with children．
D Video game is the reflection of the real―life violence．
46．We can infer from the passage that the ．
A．NIMF is characteristic for its social justice
B．NIMF is a political organization in Minneapolis
C．NIMF promotes video games and other media products
D．NIMF detects the media industry’s illegal actions
47．The underlined word“pervasive”in Paragraph 4 most probably means ．
A．worldwide B．instructive C．widespread n harmful
48．Which of the following statements would Rick Dyer agree with?
A Video games with some violence teach kids to experience real life．
B．Video games are realistic ways to learn more about the real life world．
C．Video games with fantastic features are loved by most kids in the US．
D Violence and sex content video games have a negative influence on children．
C
What will we be eating in the future?Here are the top factors that will be affecting the food that ends up on our tables in the new century．
Genetically engineered food Many crops are already genetically engineered，often to produce more food，fight against pests or improve nutritiom But concern is growing over the lasting effects of changing nature．While existing research has found little harm in genetic，engineering，a recent study found the flower powder of a genetically engineered corn can kill the normal butterfly．This finding made many people nervous and brought attention to the topic．
Dining out Americans are increasingly eating meals away from home，both in sit―down restaurants and in fast food outlets．In the 1ast decade alone there was a 14 percent decrease in the number of meals eaten at home．At the same time，restaurants are just beginning to really open their doors 0n the Internet．Websites exist to make restaurant reservations(预约)，view menus，and get tips from your favorite chefs．The dining Out trend and the demand for high-quality，chef-prepared food have encouraged chefs to spend time out of the．kitchen--teaching classes，appearing on TV，and writing cookbooks．
Eating in Eating in doesn’t always mean cooking．Ready-made meals and frozen food sold in supermarkets taste better all the time．Restaurants are offering neatly packaged “food to go”，and meals can be ordered over the Internet．Cooking is not as much as a necessity，as it is a hobby，a special treat．Home cooks are looking to more than just mom’s food，and want to make food they try in restaurants．
Agriculture Although American farmers have been hit hard recently by bad weather，
low prices and decreasing government help，they can increase grain production not using
old farm methods．
49．Which of the following is the main reason for genetically engineered crops?
A．To lead to more food and better nutrition．
B To kill the normal butterfly．
C．To reduce the harm done by insects．
D To change the nature of the crops．
50 From the passage，we learn that ．
A．eating out is not popular among the old people in USA
B．it is now easier for people to get information about eating out
C．it is popular for restaurants to send out information on the Internet
D．the trend of eating out is causing many chefs to giye up their jobs
51．In the future，cooking at home will probahly ．
A．still be the iob of most housewives
B take up most of people’s free time
C bring much joy to more people
D lead to many restaurants closing down
52．According to the passage，farmers should to get a higher grain production．
A turn to better farming methods
B．ask for the support of the government
C． raise the prices of crops
D．not care about the effects of bad weather
D
A train sped up
through the countryside at
A．Sunday Express reader caught this Virgin employee on film as the train sped through Derbyshire on its way to Plymouth from Newcastle．
Virgin，which has come under repeated criticism over their rail service，yesterday fired the drivel"after being shown the photograph．A spokesman said an inquiry(调查)was under way to make sure exactly what he was doing and why he appeared to have taken his eyes off the track ahead．
The picture comes in the week that the public inquiry into the Southall rail disaster，which claimed seven lives，heard that the driver at the centre of that case had earlier been spotted with his feet on the eontrol button of his cab．
Larry Harrison，who worked for Great Western
Trains，drove
through two warning signals before crashing at
The reader who took this
picture was standing on a bridge outside Chesterfield early one summer’s evening．He said：“I only realised what
“As far as I could see，there was no one else in the cab with the driver，unless they
were hiding．The person with the paper open was certainly sitting in the driver’s normal seat．’’
The photographer works on the railways and does not want to be named，but he added：”I ve seen many drivers with their feet on the control panel but I’ve never seen them reading papers like this．]'here is an automatic warning system and driver’s safety device which reminds him when he passes yellow and red signals．But you should never take your eyes off the track and rely only on sounds because you could have lmexpected objects on the line or suddenly have speed limits given．”
53．Who is the“traveller”mentioned in the first paragraph?
A．A train driver． B．A businessman．C．A passenger．D．A newspaper reader．
54．The train when the picture was taken．
A．was driving to Plymouth B．was ready for a picture
C．had seven people on it D．crashed into another train
55．Who took the picture of the driver of the passenger express?
A．A professional photographer． B．A newspaper reporter．
C Another train driver． D A member of the railway staff．
56．According to what we have read，we may find this passage most probably ．
A．at a train station B．from a news report
C．from a driver’s safety guide D from the police inquiry
E
Managers of most businesses want high profits in order to pay high dividends(红利)to their investors．For this reason，they aim to keep costs as low as possible .They also want to set high prices to gain high returns．But competition within the industry often prevents them from doing so．Generally；a business will not increase the price of its output if its competitors will not increase their prices．If a business sets its prices higher than those of its competitors，many of its customers will buy the output of its competitors．
An important decision managers make is their choice of the input-mix in what combination of capital(资本)，labor．and raw materials to use in production．The goal is to keep production costs as low as possible．If labor costs are high，for example，a firm may spend money in automatic machinery so that fewer workers are needed to complete the same task．If labor is cheap，the company may decide to employ extra workers instead of buying a machine to do the job．The combination of inputs that permits a firm to produce its goods or services at the lowest possible cost without reducing quality is called the most productive input-mix
The goal of keeping production costs low also affects a company’s choice of location．The resources an industry needs and the customers it serves are rarely close to each other．As a result，a business must transport inputs，outputs，or both．A business also tries to keep transportation costs as low as possible．
Transportation costs are based on weight as well as on distance．The location a company selects may thus depend on whether the company’s product is heavier or lighter than the materials used to make it．The soft drink industry，which adds water to other ingredients to make its products，is an example of an industry that produces weight-gaining products．Soft drink companies choose locations near their eustomers．The paper industry is an example of industries that produce weight losing products．Many such industries are near sources of rataT materials．
57．What do businesses choose to do about the prices of their prodducts in competition?
A．To set higher prices． B．To leave the prices unchanged．
C．To offer lower prices． D To keep the prices adjustable．
58．The underlined phrase“the most productive input-mix’means mixing inputs ．
A．with goods or services sold at the lowest possible prices
B．by selling goods or services at the lowest possible prices
C．to produce goods or services at the lowest possible cost
D to produce quality goods or services at the lowest possible cost
59．Why is a company usually very careful about choosing its location?
A．Because the materials lt needs are rather far away．
B．Beeause the customers it serves are not so close．
C．Because transportation costs and the distance are closely related．
D Because both production and transportation costs are very high．
60．The soft drink industry and the paper making industry are used as examples because
A．they share a lot of things in common
B they are both only making lower profits
C．the transportion costs of their products are the same
D they are quite different when considering the locations

<Subject:Happy 牛(Bull) Year>
Dear Jssie.
How are you doing these days? I ‘ve received your letter and now I’m writing to tell you something about the year of the bull(牛)．
The bull in Chinese culture has some symbolic significance．First，the bull is full of strength，so it helps farmers plough the farmland．Next，the bull is willing to devote itself to people．It offers us milk to drink，beef to eat and even fur to make cIothes and bags with，but it never complains．Besides，the bull also stands for a great determination，and it will never change its mind until it achieves its goal．What’s more the hull is a symbol of honesty，which is one of the best qualities of human beings．
Now the New Year has already come．Wish you a“Happy牛Year”．
Take care!
Yours
