On the way back from work every evening, more often than not（往往） there would be a homeless man standing at the exit of the freeway (快车道). He looked to be in his late 40s but was probably a lot younger. He had shoulder length straight black hair and a short beard. Every day after work I would remember to gather any spare change, and put it aside to give him if I saw him. A feeling of joy would come over me every time I saw him, while coming off the ramp(坡道). So did he. Sometimes the red light would be on for a minute and we would ask each other about our day. His answer would always be the same, “I’m blessed!” Then one day I was called into my boss’s office and was told that I was being laid off(解雇). For the rest of that day all I could think of was “how am I going to provide for my kids as a mother, how am I going to pay rent?” It is clear that on my way home that day I was very sad and upset. I didn’t remember to look for my spare change and keep it ready like I usually did. Yet there he was as always, as I turned the ramp. He set his eyes on me, while still smiling and waving at others as usual. While I was waiting for the red light to turn, he strolled (闲逛) over to my car. He had a big smile. He looked at me straight in the eyes and said, “Today I will give you a dollar.” He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a dollar bill. You see that day he taught me a valuable lesson more than a dollar bill. No matter what material things are taken from you, no one can take away your choice to be joyful. Every time I’m faced with challenges, I think of the homeless man’s valuable lesson and remember that I am blessed. 1.Why did the writer feel sad and upset after out of the boss’s office? A. Because she was criticized by the boss. B. Because a new job was offered to her. C. Because she was laid off by the boss. D. Because there was something wrong with her job. 2.What is NOT true about the homeless man from the passage? A. He would be seen at the exit of the freeway. B. He usually smiled and waved at others. C. He had a deep impression on the writer. D. He felt joyful only when money was offered to him. 3.The homeless man gave the writer a dollar because . A. he had collected a lot of money B. he wanted to pay her back C. he knew what she experienced D. he wanted her to be happy 4. The writer learned from the story that . A. a dollar bill will be enough to make you happy B. each of us has been blessed all the time C. whenever it is, we should choose to help others D. it is more than material things that bring us happiness

When Christie Andrews was born, she weighed less that half of one kilogram. Her heart was the size of a large coin. Her mother said Christie was so small that she could hold her in the palm of one hand. Christie couldn’t breathe without a machine to give her oxygen. If she had been born 20 years earlier, she would probably have died at once. She needed two operations, but she survived without serious damage. Twenty years ago , 90% of all premature(早产) babies died. Today, doctors manage to save four out of every five, because they have better machines for breathing and better ways to feed the babies. But saving Christie’s life cost more than $ 400,000. In some cases, doctors spend 1 million dollars saving a single child. The parents usually don’t have enough money to pay. The government, an insurance company or the hospital picks up the bill. Even after a baby goes home from the hospital, it may require medical care. Some people think it makes more sense to spend money saving 10 adults who have cancer or other diseases than saving one small baby. But nobody wants to be the doctor who has to tell parents to their faces, “Sorry, I won’t save your new child.” 1.Parents don’t pay their babies’ hospital bills because . A. they don’t have enough money B. they would rather save cancer patients C. doctors don’t care if the babies die D. it makes more sense to have a bigger baby 2. The true cost of saving a baby may be even more than 1 million because . A. oxygen machine are expensive B. the baby may require medical care after it leaves the hospital C. doctors always charge more than they should D. four out of five premature babies can now be saved 3. From the story we know that saving a cancer patient . A. is easier than saving a baby B. is harder than saving a baby C. is cheaper than saving a baby D. is more common than saving a baby 4.The main idea of the article is . A. doctors must never decide whether to save babies or cancer patients B. doctors are able to save premature babies, but the cost is very high C. having a premature baby was cheaper and safer 20 years ago D. Christie survived because the hospital paid her bills

Scientists are placing robotic dogs in the homes of lonely old people to test whether they can improve the quality of life for humans. Alan Beck, an expert(专家) in human-animal relationship, and Nancy Edwards, a professor of nursing, are leading the animal-assisted study on the effect of robotic dogs on old people’s depression (沮丧) , physical activity, and life satisfaction. In the study, the robot, called AIBO, is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who live alone. Before placing AIBO in the home, scientists will collect baseline data(数据) for six weeks. These old people will keep a diary to note their feelings and activity before and after AIBO. Then, the scientists will review the data to test if it has produced any changes in the life of its owner. “I talk to him all the time, and he responds to my voice,” says a seventy-year-old lady. “When I’m watching TV, he’ll stay in my arms until he wants down. He has his own mind.” The AIBOs respond to certain orders. The scientists say they have some advantages over live dogs, especially for old people. Often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by walking it or playing with it. A robotic dog removes exercise and feeding concerns. “At the beginning, it was believed that no one would relate(与……相关) to the robotic dog, because it was metal and not furry.” Beck says. “Hopefully, down the road, these robotic pets could become a more-valuable health helper. They will record their masters’ blood pressure, oxygen levels or heart rhythms(心律). AIBOs may even one day have games that can help stimulate(刺激) older people’s minds.” 1.The purpose of Beck and Edwards’ study is to _____________. A. understand human-animal relationship B. make lonely old people’s life better C. find the causes of old people’s loneliness D. improve the animal-assisted research 2. In the research, the old people are asked to _____________. A. note the activities of AIBOs B. keep AIBOs at home for 12 weeks C. record their feelings and activity D. study the collected information 3. What does the underlined word “removes” mean? A. moves again B. is movable C. doesn’t need D. need 4.The writer seems to suggest that the future robotic dogs may__________. A. cure certain diseases B. keep old people active C. change people’s ideas D. look more like real dogs

任务型阅读 (共10空；每空1分，计10分) 阅读下列短文，根据短文中的信息完成文后表格。（每空一词） Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to some Chinese students, they always say, “My spoken English is poor.” However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor.” I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English. First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves because of a limited vocabulary. Obviously the better answer is to enlarge their vocabulary. However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if your attitude is positive. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know. Second, they are afraid of making mistakes. Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY(准确性). Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using them to get your message across. But talk to someone in English, as quickly and well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesn’t matter because the person you are speaking to will understand and forgive you for any mistakes he hears. The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking. Fourth, most Chinese students are inactive rather than positive language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English, they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. If you have this positive outlook(观点), then, you will see English opportunities wherever you go. If you do not use your English beyond the classroom you will forget the English you know. Remember: USE IT OR LOSE IT! You can learn how to speak English better by speaking English more.
