father.
For three days he
wouldn't talk. He would just sit quietly outside our house in the dark. On the
fourth night, I sat beside him and asked him to tell me what he felt about
everything.
It has been years
since I laid my hand on my father's shoulder as we drifted apart (疏远) farther and farther while I was 24
up. That night though, I
sensed my father trying to 25
his pain and I wanted

The simple touch and
my words, "Dad, it's not your 26
", broke my father's dam(水闸). In the darkness, he began to cry. ! felt his shoulders shaking as
he whispered, " 27 did I go wrong? All I ever wanted was for
my children to grow up right. Why couldn't your sister wait?"
I understood then why
he 28 to be in the dark. By being there, he
hoped to spare his 29 of a father's pain. His tears, though we
didn't see them before that night, were there all the same.
I saw his corage that
night when my father cried with my hand on his shoulder, and 30 his pain.

But when he opened it,
he found 33 was empty and again his anger flared.
"Don't you know, young lady, "he said harshly, "when you give

children, family, friends and God. There is no more precious possession anyone
could hold.
Ⅲ. 阅读(共两节，满分40分)
第一节：阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
One day in my
class, Maria shared her feelings about money, "Money worries me. I think I
want to live without money because I hate it. I HATE MONEY." We were all
touched by Maria's words as they reminded us of the spiritual burdens that
money managing can bring to us. After class I offered to help Maria deal with
her financial problems. She hesitated to accept my offer, and I could see from
the expression on her face that she was afraid of what it might involve. I
quickly promised her that I wouldn't make her do more than she was able to. I
told her frankly that I didn't enjoy managing my money any more than she did
hers and wouldn't burden her with guilt, judgments, or impossible tasks. All I would ask her to do was to let me
help her look at her fears and try to make some sense of them.
Maria still
resisted my offer, and I can remember the excuses she gave me as they were the
repeated complaints I had heard from so many people. "I'11 never
understand money," she said. "My facts are meaningless." "I
don't deserve to have money." "I never have enough," "I
have too little to manage." "My financial position isn't worth
looking at." and the most devastating one of all, "I
just can't do it."
Going home that
day, I couldn't get Maria out of my mind: Her attitude conveyed the same
negativity and fear that I believed annoyed many people. I was sure it was this
attitude that prevented people from managing their money effectively. My
counseling (咨询) has taught
me that these anxieties are inseparably connected to our self-doubts and fear
for survival. Many of us are terrified of handling our money because we don't
believe we can do it well, and to do it wrong would put our very existence at
risk.
On a deeper
level we know that money is not the source of life, but sense of worth drives
us to act as if it were. It locks us up in self-doubts and prevents us from
tapping into the true source of our management power, our spirit.
41. The underlined word devastating in
paragraph 2 probably means .
A. convincing B.
interesting C.
shocking D. valuable
42. Maria's words moved the author and
others because they were .
A. in the same financial trouble B. in the same financial condition
C. of the same family background D. of the same feeling over the issue
43. As for money managing, the author intended to tell Maria how to .
A. overcome her fears B. make wise decisions
C. avoid making mistakes D. learn the necessary skills
44. Maria wouldn't take the author's offer of help for fear of _________.
A. being forced to share her money with others B. having to do something beyond her reach
C. being found guilty of making impossible errors D. showing her judgment about money
45. According to the author, people's anxieties about managing money result from their understanding of money as the only source of ________.
A. life B. values C. spirit D. power
B
For thousands of years, people have been debating the meaning of happiness and how to find it. From the ancient Greeks and Romans to current day writers and professors, the debate about happiness continues. What makes someone happy? In what parts of the world are people the happiest? Why even study happiness? The Greek philosopher Aristotle said that a person's highest happiness comes from the use of his or her intelligence. Religious books such as the Koran and Bible discuss faith as a form of happiness. The British scientist Charles Darwin believed that all species were formed in a way so as to enjoy happiness. People throughout history may have had different ideas about happiness. But today, many people are still searching for its meaning.
How do you study something like happiness? You could start with the World Database of Happiness at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. This set of information includes how to define and measure happiness. Some findings are not surprising. For example, the database suggests that married people are happier than single people. People who like to be with other people are happier than unsocial people. But other findings are less expected: People with children are equally happy as couples without children. And wealthier people are only a little happier than poorer people.
Positive psychology is the new term for a method of scientific study that tries to examine the things that make life worth living instead of life's problems. Traditional psychology generally studies negative situations like mental suffering and sickness. But positive psychology aims to study the strengths that allow people and communities to do well. There is also an increasing amount of medical research on the physical qualities of happiness. Doctors can now look at happiness at work in a person's brain using a method called magnetic resonance imaging (核磁共振成像), or MRI. For example, an MRI can show how one area of a person's brain activates when he or she is shown happy pictures. A different area of the brain becomes active when the person sees pictures of terrible subjects.
46. What can be inferred from the first paragraph?
A. People are searching for the meaning of happiness.
B. Happiness is an everlasting topic for discussion.
C. Current day scholars are debating about how to make people happy.
D. People have begun to realize the importance of understanding happiness.
47. The Bible tells us happiness comes from _________.
A. the application of one's intelligence B. the strong belief in religion
C. a certain degree of good faith D. the trust in one's ability
48. The findings of the database imply that couples without children are _________.
A. as happy as people with children B. less happy than people with children
C. happier than unsocial people D. a little happier than wealthier people
49. As an approach of scientific study, positive psychology focuses on ________.
A. mental suffering B. psychological sickness
C. examining what makes life worth living D. strengths that enable people to succeed
50. MRI is used in the study of happiness in order to __________.
A. find out the physical quantities of happiness B. look at the images formed in people's brain
C. study the reaction of the brain to happiness D. understand the pictures of terrible subjects
C
Climatic conditions are delicately adjusted to composition of the Earth's atmosphere. If there were a change in the atmosphere ― for example, in the relative amounts of atmospheric gases ― the climate would probably change also. A slight increase in water vapor (蒸汽) , for example, would increase the heat-keeping capacity of the atmosphere and would lead to a rise in global temperatures.
The level of carbon dioxide, CO2, in the atmosphere has an important effect on climatic change. Most of the Earth's incoming energy is short-wavelength radiation (短波辐射) , which tends to pass through atmospheric CO2 easily. The Earth, however, reradiates much of the received energy as long-wavelength radiation (长波辐射), which CO2 absorbs and then goes toward the Earth. This phenomenon, known as the greenhouse effect, can result in an increase in the surface temperature of a planet. An extreme example of the effect is shown by Venus, a planet covered by heavy clouds composed mostly of CO2, whose surface temperatures have been measured at 430~C.If the CO2 content of the atmosphere is reduced, the temperature falls. According to one respectable theory, if the atmospheric CO2 concentration were halved, the Earth would become completely covered with ice. Another equally respectable theory, however, states that a halving of the CO2 concentration would lead only to a reduction in global temperatures of 3℃.
If, because of an increase in forest fires or volcanic activity, the CO2 content of the atmosphere increased, a warmer climate would be produced. Plant growth, which relied on both the warmth and the availability of CO2, would probably increase. As a consequence, plant would use more and more CO2. Eventually CO2 levels would decrease and the climate, in turn, would become cooler. With reduced temperatures many plants would die; CO2 would thus be returned to the atmosphere and gradually the temperature would rise again. Thus, if this process occurred, there might be a long-term oscillation (波动) in the amount of CO2 present in the atmosphere, with regular temperature increase and decrease.
Some climatologists argue that the burning of fossil fuels has raised the level of CO2 in the atmosphere and has caused a global temperature increase of at least 1℃. But a supposed global temperature rise of 1 ℃ may in reality be only several regional temperature increases, restricted to areas where there are many meteorological (气象的) stations. Other areas, for example, the Southern Hemisphere oceanic zone, may be experiencing an equal temperature decrease that is unrecognized because of the shortage of meteorological recording stations.
51. Which of the following questions does the information supplied in this passage try to answer?
A. What are the steps in the process that takes place as CO2 absorbs long-wavelength radiation?
B. How might our understanding of the greenhouse effect be improved if the burning of fossil were decreased?
C. What might cause a series of regular increases and decreases in the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere?
D. Why are there fewer meteorological recording stations in the Southern Hemisphere oceanic zone than atmosphere?
52. The author is primarily concerned with ________.
A. explaining the effects that the burning of fossil fuels might have on climate
B. explaining the effects of CO2 on atmospheric radiation
C. discussing effects that changes in the CO2 level in the atmosphere might have on climate
D. challenging hypotheses (假说) about the effects of water vapor and CO2 on climate
53. The passage suggests that a large decrease in the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere would result in _________.
A. at least a slight decrease in global temperatures
B. at the most a slight increase in short-wavelength radiation reaching the Earth
C. a slight long-term increase in global temperatures
D. a slight short-term increase in atmosphere water vapor content
54. The author refers to Venus primarily in order to _______.
A. show that the greenhouse effect works on other planets but not on Earth
B. show the degree to which Earth's atmosphere differs from that of Venus
C. support the opinion that as water vapor increases, the amount of CO2 increases
D. support the argument that the CO2 level in the atmosphere has a significant effect on climate
55. The discussion of climate in the passage suggests that _________.
A. climate is perfectly stable
B. we are unable at present to measure global temperature changes precisely.
C. the only cause of regional climatic fluctuations (波动) is the change in CO2 1evel in the atmosphere
D. slight regional temperature changes can be considered an abnormal feature (特征) of the environment
第二节信息匹配(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题纸对应题号的指定位置填上相应选项字母(其中一个选项是多余的)。
以下是英语电影的名称及内容简介：
A. Birth of a Nation
Birth of a Nation was the most popular film of the silent era. The message in the film was that African Americans could never be integrated into the white society as equals. Race violence directed against African Americans took place in many cities. In the South, African Americans were only allowed to go to separate schools, hotels, and restaurants.
B. Gone with the Wind
Gone with the Wind was the costliest and most popular film of Hollywood's Golden Era. Producer David Selznick had promised that the film would be free of any anti-Negro ideas. Although it did not use white actors in blackface, like Birth of a Nation, its picture of enslaved African Americans as loyal but scatter-brained house servants and clumsy field hands was what the white thought the black ought to be then.
C. Glory
Glory offers a powerful retelling of the story of the first black regiment (团) during the American Civil War. Half the regiment's men were killed or wounded in the war, but it dramatically demonstrated the courage of African American troops in battle. However, the film failed to describe the larger historical context of the Civil War.
D. Amistad
The Steven Spielberg film is about a historical event. In 1839, a group of Africans were captured and shipped to the Spanish colony of Cuba. During trans-shipment to nearby sugar plantations, 53 slaves overpowered the crew. The captives then ordered the two men who had purchased them to navigate the ship toward Africa. At night, however, the men sailed the ship northward and westward. The case ultimately went to the Supreme Court. In 1841, the Court freed the captives.
E. Beloved
The film is based on Margaret Garner's story of killing her own two-year-old daughter Mary. Margaret Garner said that she had intended to kill her other children rather than see them returned to slavery. She later explained that she wanted to "end their sufferings" rather than see them returned to bondage and "murdered by piecemeal". No other work has so powerfully examined the interior life of a former slave.
F. Schindler's List
The film concerns the lives of a thousand Jews during World War II. The film shows, unforgettably, how one man does make a difference. Schindler proves that man's morality and humanity are always alive. "Save one life, save the world entire." The heavy tone and fearful atmosphere of the film are heightened by black-and-white cinematography.

57. International Slave Trade
58. Civil Rights

Is Failure a Bad Thing?
Failure is what often happens in our life. Students may fail in exams, scientists may fail in their research work, and athletes may fail in competitions.
Although failure happens to everyone, attitudes towards failure are various. Some people don't think their failure is very important thing at all. So they pay no attention to it. As a result, they will have the same failure many times later. They spend their time and energy on Useless things and they may really be fools as they have thought. Other people are quite different from the people mentioned above. Instead of being distressed and lost, they draw a lesson from every failure and become more experienced. After hard work, they will be successful in the end. It is said that failure is the mother of success. Success will be gained after times of failures so long as we are good at drawing a lesson from our failure.
In my opinion, failure is not a bad thing; the really bad thing is taking a failure as failure or even losing heart after failure.
【写作内容】
1．以约30个词概括短文的要点；
2．然后以约120个词就"Is‘Failure a Bad Thing?”这个主题写一篇短文，至少包括、以下内容要点：

【写作要求】
