As a teenager, I felt I was always letting people down. I was rebellious (叛逆的) on the outside, 41 on the inside I wanted people to 42 me.
4
Once I left home to hitchhike (搭便车) to California with my friend Penelope. The trip wasn’t 43 and there were many times I didn’t feel safe. One situation in particular left me 44 for still being alive. When I returned home, I was different — not so outwardly (外表上) sure of myself.
I was happy to be home. But then I noticed that Penelope, who was 45 with us, was wearing my clothes. And my 46 seemed to like her better than me. I wondered if I would be 47 if I weren’t there.
I told my mom, and she explained that 48 Penelope was a lovely girl, no one could 49 me. I pointed out, “She is more patient and is neater than I have ever been.” My mom said these were wonderful 50 but I was the only person who could fill my 51 . She made me realize that even with my 52 , — and they were many—I was a loved member of the family who couldn’t be replaced.
I became a searcher, 53 who I was and what made me unique. My 54 of myself was changing. I wanted a solid base to start from. I started to resist (抵制) pressure to 55 in ways that I didn’t like any more, and I 56 who I really was. I came to feel much more 57 that no one can ever take my place.

第三部分 阅读理解（共12小题；每小题2分,满分24分）
请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
September is around the comer, and some of us are already complaining about summer’s end. But parents have a special reason to do so. The end of summer means the start of school. And these days, planning a young child’s schedule is a big challenge. The challenge is no longer finding activities to fill a child’s day; it is saying no to the hundreds of choices available. Our mailbox is filled with brochures (小册子) advising us to sign our kids up for classes from cooking to martial arts.
Educators are themselves discouraged by the number of special classes that many children attend. In the name of “enrichment,” three-year-olds not only go to preschool in the morning but study French or gymnastics after lunch. One teacher tells of a four-year-old asking for help in the toilet before hurrying off to tennis. Another teacher says that children sometimes hold on to her at pickup time. What happened to unstructured time?
A generous explanation is that we enjoy giving children opportunities we never had. The truth, however, is that many parents have doubts about how much time they spend away from their families. And one way to reduce this guilt is to believe that time spent in these classes is somehow more beneficial to children than the time we know we should be giving them ourselves.
David Elkind, an expert on children, suggests that the 1960s gave birth to the belief that earlier is better. Parents hope that early music lessons, for example, will build a child’s confidence. The truth, however, is that any time children are asked to do too much, too soon, they are at
6
greater risk for feelings of failure.
A child’s time does not have to be planned to be meaningful. Remember the lazy days of summer? Some children sleep late and play with the kids across the street until it’s time to come home for dinner. However, with the majority of mothers working, fewer children enjoy that spare time now.
Come September, children across the country will finish a full day of kindergarten, only to attend an after-school program until 6 P.M., when a working mom or dad comes to take them home. That’s too much for a five- year old. Finances, of course, do limit some parents. But let’s be honest with ourselves - our own busy schedules, whatever they involve, are no excuse for burdening a young child’s.
61. The author holds that it’s a challenge to plan a schedule for a child mainly because . A. a child’s schedule is too full
B. activities suitable for kids are limited D. children always say no to parents’ advice
C. parents have too many choices
62. What the two teachers say in Paragraph 2 implies that . A. children love to stay at school
B. they are popular with children D. after-school classes are of poor quality
C. children dislike after-school classes
63. According to the author, what is the real reason for parents to send their children to after-school classes?
A. Parents want to make up for their own regrets. B. After-school classes develop children’s ability.
C. Parents have doubt about their own ability to guide children. D. After-school classes give parents an excuse for being absent. 64. Which of the following will the author probably agree with? A. For children’s benefits, the earlier the better. B. Children’s spare time should be carefully designed. C. Spare time for children is becoming a thing of the past. D. Parents should be forgiven if they have a good reason.
B
For as long as humans have existed, there has been a need to keep in touch, to send information between people in different places. Before writing was invented, spoken messages
7
were carried from one person to another and it was not easy to send longer messages. Writing changed the situation, but it was still difficult to make sue that your message got to the right place.
The Romans created an organized system of mail delivery (投递), called Cursus Publicus. This was used by the Emperor and officials to send information throughout the Empire (帝国) Staging posts and a relay system with horses and carriages meant that messages could move quickly, by using many riders instead of one. However, the Romans were not (as many people think) the first to realize this. In 2000 BC the Egyptians used a similar system to keep people informed about the laws in the country. The Chinese and Persian empires also used systems of horses and riders more than 500 yeah before the Romans.
After the Roman postal (邮递的) service disappeared, other systems were created in Europe, but never again as large as the Roman’s. Rulers of countries or regions and even churches created their own official mail network. It was also very important to business between countries that good communication existed. International traders set up many unofficial postal links. There was one such link between Venice and Constantinople in the 14th century.
Until the mid-1600s in Europe, only official messages could be carried by the state networks; everyone else had to we less secure, unofficial networks. However, as more roads were built, unofficial networks became safer, more reliable and very profitable. Realizing they could make money, governments in most countries took control of their own public postal system, making the unofficial networks illegal.
A number of countries claim to have invented the idea of stamps-placing a piece of paper on the letter showing that the postage had been paid for. But the first widely-available stamp was the Penny Black, introduced in Britain by a man called Rowland Hill in 1840. It was a black stamp with a white picture of the Queen’s head on it. Hill changed the idea of payment from distance to weight. The year before its introduction, about 75 million letters had been posted in Britain, yet only 10 years later over 340 million letters were sent using stamp. It was a very important invention and completely changed the postal system. To buy a first-edition of this stamp today can cost over £1000.
Until the 1870s it was still very expensive to send mail to other countries. The Universal Postal Union was created in 1874 to make sure that “all people in the world have affordable and reliable access to postal services”. It cannot tell countries how much to charge, but it helps
8
countries work together and set reasonable international mail prices.
With the creation of airmail, it’s now cheap and quick to send letters to most parts of the world. Unfortunately, the growth of new technology (the Internet, emails, fax machines) means that traditional postal services are becoming less popular. Many people now call traditional post “snail mail”, because it does not have the speed of an email or a text message. Remember, though it has been here for over 2000 years, and is still a way of delivering a personal message. 65. Sending longer messages became easier because of . A. the invention of paper
B. the invention of writing D. the need of communicating
C. the invention of language
66. According to the passage. Cursus Publicus . A. was the largest mail network in Europe B. was the first mail network in human history C. provided postal service for everyone in Rome D. was 500 year earlier than the similar system in Egypt 67. It can be learned from Paragraph 5 that before 1840 . A. the stamp was very expensive
B. most people in Europe had no idea of stamps C. Britain had the best postal system in the world
D. the postage on a letter was decided by how far it traveled 68. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The airmail system grows rapidly.
B. The postal system will become more popular. C. The speed of traditional post will be improved
D. The traditional postal services remain important in mail delivery.
C
“Father, do you see Mother in your dreams?” the young girl asks. “You know sometimes I do.”
“Mother comes to see me a lot, you know. We sit and talk.” The father smiles. “How is your homework coming along?”
“Why do I have to study so hard?”
9
“It is what your mother would have wanted!”
She regrets speaking her mind. “I’m sorry, Father, I shouldn’t have said that.” She looks up and sees his eyes well up with tears.
“It’s okay, love,’’ he gets up and pours himself a drink. “I’ll just sit outside for a while. You finish up your work, okay?”
“I’m sorry, Father; Mother did love you very much. She told me all the time.” “Homework, first, eh? Then we can chat about your mother.”
He heads off outside and sits in his usual chair, looking around the courtyard. The whole area relaxes the mind and somehow soothes the soul.
“All finished, Father. May I get a drink and sit with you? I have some questions.’’ She comes with two drinks one for him and one for herself. He looks surprised. She never really liked him having a drink. Although he had cut back a lot from before he brought her here, it still seemed strange.
“Mother told me all about you. That is before she passed away. We would laugh together at your love stories.”
He listens without uttering a single sound.
“Why didn’t you come and take her away with you? She really wanted that. Did you know that?”
Her father looks at his daughter lovingly. “Circumstances were difficult back then. It was just the way things were. When it came time to...” He sighs. “To visit her it was too late.”
The girl smiles. “I hope I will have the same kind of love you and mother had.” “Without all the heartache,” her father adds.
“She always knew you loved her. She told me every day,” the child mentions cheerfully. “I saw her crying sometimes when she read your letters.”
“Did she make you promise to look after me?” She inquires. “She asked me to take care of you.” “You promised her, didn’t you?” “Yes, I did.”
“It is nice out here, isn’t it? Mother would have been very happy here.”
She talks with some authority. Her father remains silent. A smile comes to his weary brow.
10
He nods his head.
“Mother wanted me to give you something. I think now the time is right.” She runs to her room. Upon returning she hands her father a book. “It’s mother’s diary! She wanted me to give it to you.”
He takes the book and holds it in his trembling hands, “Thank you.” “Mother said you would understand things better.” “Wise woman, your mother.”
He places the book on the table as he gets up. The girl gets up and wraps herself around her father.
“I love you.” she looks up at his face.
He picks her up and hugs her. “I love you, too.” His voice trembles. “It’s okay, Father. We have each other now and mother is in both of us.” He kisses her head.
“Time you went to bed,” her father softly says.
He puts her down and she scampers off to get washed and ready for bed.
Clearing up everything he checks on his daughter. She is in bed waiting for her good night kiss. He tucks her in and bids her goodnight.
Just as he is to leave she tells him. “Mother told me she adopted me when I was a baby.” He stands at her bedroom door. Words fail him. Yes, he knew she was adopted. “I am really lucky for being loved by my parents, even if I am not really theirs.” “You trying to bring on the water works?” he tells her. She giggles, “Goodnight, Father. I love you.” “Love you, too.”
His face lights up as he wipes his dampened eyes.
The door closes and the child falls asleep dreaming of her mother.
Sitting outside he picks up the diary and opens it and reads the first line: “I love you, my dearest, if only things could have been different...” 69. What can we know about the couple’s relationship? A. They understood each other very well. C. They used to have misunderstandings.
B. They quarreled a lot and are separated. D. They were quite pleased with each other.
11
70. What can we learn from the story?
A. The girl was adopted because the couple couldn’t give birth. B. Father looks after the girl just because the girl is alone. C. The girl feels unfortunate that she was adopted.
D. Father was not very close to the girl before she moved in with him. 71. What does the sentence “You trying to bring on the water works?” mean? A. You want another cup of water? C. Are you trying to make me cry?
B. Are you kidding me?
D. Are you thinking about the water factory?
72. Which word best describes father’s feeling at the end of the story? A. Regretful.
B. Satisfied.
C. Confused.
D. Doubtful.
第二卷（非选择题，共36分）
第四部分 任务型阅读（共10个小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每空格1个单词，请将答案写在答题纸上。
Criticism (评比) is everywhere in life. It is up to you to decide how to react to it. Learn how to deal with criticism and lead a happier and more relaxing life.
Ask yourself how the criticism will affect you. Will you lose your job because of the criticism? Will you lose what is important to you because you are criticized? Will life stop existing if your opinions are not accepted? Surely not! So, don’t worry about it. Instead, remember that some criticism actually helps you make some improvements.
You absolutely cannot stop what people say. What you can do, however, is to change the way you react to criticism. If you let it upset you, then the blame is on you. You have the right to decide what to do with the criticism you receive.
Don’t be afraid to accept criticism. No one likes to be told that he is wrong. Yet, every single person has, at one time or another, been blamed for something. Realize that it’s normal. You may have received some strong criticism, but it doesn’t mean that you are foolish, or that you don’t have the ability to do something properly. If you are afraid to put your work out for others to see, you’ll never know if you are a capable person. Try not to think of it in that way and don’t take it seriously. If you can learn to be optimistic, you will remove nervousness about what people think, thus becoming happier.
12
Consider where the criticism comes from. It may help you step back and examine what causes the criticism. Is the critic just trying to offer constructive criticism? It is much easier to accept correction or guidance from someone that has good intentions. This type of criticism is known as valid criticism, because there is a valid (有效的) point or reason to it. On the other hand, there are critics that offer their advice just to be negative. This is commonly referred to as invalid criticism because it is often not of any use at all.
Do your best. And if someone doesn’t like what you’ve done, so what? It’s either valid criticism or invalid criticism. But you have the power to decide how you will allow it to affect you.
The author’s opinion about criticism • Understand the 74 that criticism has on you: 1) Some criticism won’t make a difference to you, so don’t feel 75 about it. 2) Some criticism can help you 76 . • Change the way you react to criticism. Ways of 77 with criticism Receiving criticism doesn’t mean you are stupid or you are 79 to do things. • Be optimistic about criticism and you will become less 80 . • Understand two 81 of criticism: It may be valid criticism or invalid criticism. 82 Take criticism as it is and remember you decide how you react to it. • Accept criticism 78 : Criticism is a (n) 73 part of life and it is up to you to decide your reaction to it. 第五部分 单词填空（共10题；每题0.5分，共5分）

I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we’ve recently had about whether it is necessary for Toby to have an adventure travelling in Africa. We do have different opinions on this matter.
Some students are in favor of it. With the adventure travelling, they will have more chances to meet completely different people and experience totally different cultures. Their horizons will be broadened, and their knowledge will be enriched. Most importantly, adventure makes it possible for them to learn to deal with the uncertainties and meet the challenges, thus helping build their confidence.
However, others argue that adventure is nothing but a waste of time and money. The peace of nature and the animals living in the wild will be disturbed, causing awfully much damage to the environment. Worse still, it can sometimes be dangerous, costing people their precious lives.
Personally, adventure travelling does good not only to our health but also to our mind. Only if we make sure those advantages outweigh the disadvantages can we truly benefit from it.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
