    Since then, I have become active in maths as  52  as in other subjects. I used to think doing maths exercises was a waste of time. But now, I know  53  I do can make things better. Everyone is the  54  of his own fate.

    If we make mistakes, we should take on an active  55 . Laugh, and the world laughs with you; weep, and you weep alone.

第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题,每小题2分,满分40分)

第一节 阅读下面的短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项。

A

Dear SJ,

Losing a best friend is never easy.

Your problem is not just that you miss your best friend; it is that you feel empty and lost without her friendship.

It takes time to get over a lost, and during that time, your mind is getting used to a new way of being. This is usually a good thing, even if it feels like a bad thing.

Now that you are on your own, you are being forced to learn to be by yourself and to rely upon your own inner voice for guidance. I am sure that this feels strange for you, but if you can hang on for a bit longer, it may work to your advantage.

Best friends are cool, but it is important to know the difference between missing someone and being too dependent upon them.

At your age, girls do tend to stick together and having a good boyfriend may not yet be the better choice. Your friend is leaving you, her best friend, for a boyfriend. Boyfriends are completely different from best friends. The difference is that boyfriends come and go, while girl friends often stay in your life throughout high school, and even afterwards. It is a completely different sort of relationship.

I suggest that you take advantage of this period in your life to expand your horizons. Enjoy the freedom of having no best friend for a while, and hang with the group. By the time your former best friend breaks up with her boyfriend, you will be in a completely different place, a far better place.

And, by the way, next time you feel empty and lost, try to write about it in a diary. In several months, you will look back and read it with curiosity about yourself. “Who was I then, and what could I have been thinking?”

56. Judging from the letter, SJ’s problem was that she didn’t know ______.

A. whether to give up her best friend         B. what to do without her best friend

C. whom to choose between two friends         D. how to stop missing her former friend

57. The underlined part “a new way of being” (in Paragraph 3) refers to the situation in which SJ has to ________.

A. find a new friendship                               B. live without her boyfriend

C. learn to give up                                            D. learn to be independent

58. The writer believes by the time SJ’s former friend loses her boyfriend, SJ will ______.

A. take revenge(报复) on her former friend      

B. comfort her former friend

C. feel more independent and confident       

D. continue friendship with her former friend

59. What does the last paragraph seem to suggest?

A. Unhappy experiences are easy to forget.   

B. Keeping a diary helps correct oneself.

C. SJ will get over her problem soon.         

D. One shouldn’t forget the past experiences.

 

 

                              B

 

We now think of chocolate as sweet, but once it was bitter. We think of it as a candy, but once it was a medicine. Today, chocolate can be a hot drink, a frozen dessert, or just a snack. Sometimes it is part of the main course of a meal. Mexicans make a hot chocolate sauce called mole and pour it over chicken. The Mexicans also eat chocolate with spices like chili peppers.

Chocolate is a product of the tropical cacao tree. The beans taste so bitter that even the monkeys say “Ugh!” and run away. Workers must first dry and then roast the beans. This removes the bitter taste.

The word “chocolate” comes from a Mayan word. The Mayas were an ancient people who once lived in Mexico. They valued the cacao tree. Some used the beans for money, while others crushed them to make a drink.

When the Spaniards came to Mexico in the sixteenth century, they started drinking cacao too. Because the drink was strong and bitter, they thought it was a medicine. No one had the idea of adding sugar. The Spaniards took some beans back to Europe and opened cafes. Wealthy people drank cacao and said it was good for the digestion.

     In the 1800s, the owner of a chocolate factory in England discovered that sugar removed the bitter taste of cacao. It quickly became a cheap and popular drink. Soon afterwards, a factory made the first solid block of sweetened chocolate. Later on, another factory mixed milk and chocolate together. People liked the taste of milk chocolate even better.

     Besides the chocolate candy bar, one of the most popular American snacks is the chocolate chip cookie. Favorite desserts are chocolate cream pie and of course an ice cream sundae with hot fudge sauce.

60. It was ______that discovered sugar could remove the bitter taste of cacao.

A. the workers in the chocolate factory          B. the Spaniards 

C. the people in England                           D. the owner of a chocolate factory.

61. According to the passage which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Nobody had the idea of adding sugar until the sixteenth century.

B. The word “chocolate” comes from a Mexican word.

C. The beans taste so bitter that even the monkeys like them.  

D. Workers must dry and roast the beans to remove the bitter taste.

62. It can be inferred from the passage that___________.

   A. chocolate can be a hot drink, a frozen dessert, or a candy bar 

B. Mexicans like chocolate very much             

C. chocolate is a product of the cacao tree  

D. people liked the taste of chocolate mixed with milk

63. Which is the right time order of the events regarding chocolate?

   a. Chocolate became a cheap and popular drink in England.

   b. A factory made the first solid block of sweetened chocolate.

   c. The Spaniards started drinking cacao.

   d. It was found that sugar removed the bitter taste of cacao.

   e. A factory mixed milk and chocolate together.

   A. a-b-c-d-e           B. c-d-e-b-a                  

C. c-d-a-b-e                D. c-d-b-e-a

     

                                        C

Psychologists tell us that there are four basic stages that human beings pass through when they enter and live in a new culture. This process begins with the “honeymoon stage”. This is the period of time when we first arrive in which everything about the new culture is strange and exciting. We may be suffering from “jet lag” but we are thrilled to be in the new environment, seeing new sights, hearing new sounds and language, eating new kinds of food. This stage can last for quite a long time because we feel we are involved in some kind of great adventure.

    Unfortunately, the second stage can be more difficult. After we have settled down into our new life, we can become very tired and begin to miss our homeland and our family, friends, pets. All the little problems in life seem to be much bigger and more disturbing when you face them in a foreign culture. This period of cultural adjustment can be very difficult and lead to rejecting or pulling away from the new culture.

    The third stage is called the “adjustment stage”. This is when you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the host culture. Your sense of humour usually becomes stronger and you realize that you are becoming stronger by learning to take care of yourself in the new place. Things are still difficult, but you are now a survivor!

    The fourth stage can be called “at ease at last”. Now you feel quite comfortable in your new surroundings. You can cope(deal) with most problems that occur. You may still have problems with the language, but you know you are strong enough to deal with them.

64. This passage mainly talks about ________.

   A. culture and foreign language learning      B. adventures in a foreign land

   C. getting used to a new culture                D. the interaction of different cultures

65. Which of the following best describes the first stage?

   A. Lonely and depressed                            B. Bored and homesick

   C. Happy and excited                               D. Angry and frustrated

66. According to the passage, people are most likely to return to their own culture at the ________ stage.

   A. 1st                B. 2nd                       C. third               D. fourth

67. It can be concluded from the passage that ________.

   A. people feel better in their own culture

   B. it is not easy to adapt to a new culture

   C. culture shock doesn’t occur at the beginning

   D. it is human nature to long for adventures

  The legal age for drinking alcohol in the United States is 21.    71   Here we look at alcohol policies at American colleges and universities.

     72     But many schools have been moving to strengthen their rules.

   The United States has more than 17 million students in higher education. Each year, 1,700 of them aged 18 to 24 die from alcohol-related road accidents and other injuries.

   6000,000 more are injured while under the influence of alcohol, and almost 700,000 are attacked by another student who has been drinking.

   One behavior that college officials are trying to prevent is binge(狂欢)  drinking, having 4 or 5 drinks or more in a short period of time. Some researchers have found that students who think binge drinking is normal often overestimate(高估) how much other students really drink.   7 3    

   At the University of Oklahoma, new policies went into effect after a 19-year-old student died. He had been drinking heavily at a party.

   Now alcohol is not allowed in all fraternity(兄弟会) and sorority (女生联谊会) houses and university housing. Student organizations can serve alcohol at events but only on Friday and Saturday nights, and they must provide transportation to and from off-campus parties.    74    

    The policies govern behavior on campus and off. With a first violation(违反), students pay 75 dollars and their parents are told.    7 5    For a second “strike”, they have to pay 150 dollars. A third strike means they will be removed from school for at least one term.

A.     Underage drinking is a crime but also a common part of college social life.

B.      People under 21 will not be allowed to drink.

C.     These policies differ from school to school.

D.     A person can die of alcohol poisoning.

E.      When they are drinking, they always forget it.

F.       Other new requirements include an alcohol education program that first-year students take online.

G.    They must also take an alcohol education class.

Possible version

Dear Tom,

In your last e-mail, you showed a great interest in our National Stadium ―the Bird’s Nest. Now I’d like to introduce it to you.

 

The Bird’s Nest, which looks just like a bird’s nest made of tree branches, is located in the north of Beijing. It can hold about 90,000 spectators, covering an area of 58,000 square meters. The construction on it was started in December, 2003 and was completed in 2007. The Bird’s Nest, where the track and field events as well as soccer matches were held will be used for many other large events.

Kofi Annan, former secretary of the UN, gave the thumbs-up to its design and said that it would be a wonder in architecture in the history of the global Games.

I hope that my introduction will satisfy you.

Yours faithfully,

 Li Ming
