“I didn’t see you either at first. But I heard you come in.” I wondered if I would be able to prevent her from24I couldn’t see.
“I’m getting down at Saharanpur. Where are you going?” The girl said. “To Mussoorie.” I replied. “Oh,
25 you! I love the mountains there, especially in October.” “Yes, this is the best time.” I said,26 my memories when I could see. “The hills are covered with wild dahlias and at night you can sit in front of a fire drinking a little brandy.” She was silent.
The engine’s whistle shrieked(尖叫). The girl collected her 27 and got off.
A man got into the compartment(列車車廂隔間) and I started a (an) 28 again, “She was a (an) 29girl.

Cellphone calls distract drivers far more than even the chattiest passenger, causing drivers to miss exits or even knock into the passers-by, according to a study31
(lead) by Professor Frank Drews of the University of Utah. Forty-one drivers who took part in the experiment
32(divide) into two groups. One group was tested while using mobile phones, 33the other with a talkative passenger.
The results showed that drivers talking on a mobile phone were34likely to keep a larger distance between themselves and the car in front. They were also four times more likely to miss turns than when talking with a passenger. “When you take a look at the data, 35 turns out that a driver taking with a passenger is not as dangerous as a driver talking on a cellphone,” said Lee Strayer, 36leading researcher in the experiment.
The researchers think the difference is due to the fact37 passengers are in the vehicle and know what the traffic conditions are like. They could help the driver38 reminding them of where to take an exit and pointing out danger. They also 39 (simple) conversation when driving conditions change.40 , if you realize you’re talking to someone on a cellphone while he or she is driving, please politely end the conversation.
Ⅲ 閱讀 (共兩節(jié),滿分40分)

閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A、B、C和D項中,選出最佳選項,并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
A
I took the bus to work for many years. No one knew each other; the passengers all sat there sleepily in the morning. The bus was cheerless and silent.
One of the passengers was a small grey man who took the bus to the center for senior citizens every morning. No one ever paid very much attention to him. One July morning he said good morning to the driver and smiled. The driver nodded guardedly. The rest of us were silent.
The next day, the old man boarded with a big smile and said in a loud voice: “A very good morning to you all!”Some of us looked up, amazed, and murmured “good morning” in reply.
The following weeks, our friend was dressed in a nice old suit and tie. The thin hair had been carefully combed. He said good morning to us every day and we gradually began to nod and talk to each other.
One morning he even had a bunch of wild flowers in his hand. The driver turned around smilingly and asked: “Have you got yourself a girlfriend, Charlie?” We never got to know if his name really was “Charlie”, but he nodded shyly and said yes. The other passengers whistled and clapped at him. Charlie waved the flowers before he sat down on his seat.
Every morning after that Charlie always brought flowers. Some passengers also brought flowers for him. The bus became a happy place.
Then, one morning, as autumn was closing in, Charlie wasn’t waiting at his usual stop. When he wasn’t there the next day and the day after that, we started wondering if he was sick or hopefully-on holiday somewhere. When we came nearer to the center for senior citizens, one of the passengers even asked the driver to wait.
We all held our breaths when he went to the door. The old gentleman was fine, but one of his close friends had died over the weekend. How silent we were the rest of the way to work.
The next Monday Charlie was waiting at the stop, and without a tie. Inside the bus was silent.

Before, if you wanted to see Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Snow White, Winnie the Pooh and other Disney characters in a Disneyland theme park, you had to go abroad, or go to Hong Kong. But in a few years’ time, you will just have to head to Shanghai for the experience.
The Shanghai municipal(市的) government announced that the Shanghai Disneyland Project now has State approval after 19 years of talks. The government said that talks have started on details of the project, which has been planned for the Pudong New District of the city.
The local government has already started working on a first plan for the project. The plan includes the resettlement of a 4-million-sq-m area in Pudong covering the villages of Zhaohang, Jinjia and Qigan in Chuansha Town. The park is expected to open in five or six years.
Details about attractions are still being worked out, but there are to be some classic ones. New attractions will also be developed specifically for Shanghai, perhaps using Chinese stories and history, according to the New York Times. Traditionally, a Disneyland park has a range of themes, for example Adventureland, Fantasyland, Tomorrowland. An Adventureland tends to show a wonderful tropical place in a far-off region of the world. A Fantasyland has a castle as well as several gentle rides themed after Disney movies. “Alice in Wonderland” and “Snow White’s Scary Adventures” are among the rides. Tomorrowland has attractions that tell of the future, such as Space Mountain and the Tomorrowland Speedway.
There are those who have accused Disney of trying to palm off a standard Disney theme park on their overseas locations. But since 2005 the company has been trying to vary their Disneylands. For example, inside the Disneyland park, alcohol is not served. This is mainly due to its focus on family and expectation that children are part of the group. But Disneyland Paris decided to serve alcohol after the French public complained.
Since 1955, five Disneyland theme parks have been built, in the US, Japan, France and China’s Hong Kong. But many are doubtful about whether the Shanghai park will make money. Owing to the world economic crisis, in the third quarter of 2009, the world’s Disneylands’ profits dropped by 19 percent.
46. The underlined phrase “palm off” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ___________.
A. decideB. abandon
C. forceD. appreciate
47. Which of the following is NOT a step in setting up the Shanghai Disneyland?
A. Gaining official approval from the government.
B. Making a plan for the Pudong New District.
C. Providing shelter for the people in some villages in Pudong.
D. Working out the standard for a new theme park.
48. We can infer from the passage that Shanghai Disneyland .
A. will surely be affected by world crisis
B. will be completed in five or six years
C. will be built with Chinese characteristics
D. will not include Adventureland as its theme
49. In the beginning, alcohol was not served in the Disneyland Paris because.
A. it was not allowed to drink alcohol in the park
B. the park focused on family with children as their visitors
C. tourists didn’t ask for alcohol drinking
D. the park couldn’t make a profit by selling alcohol
50. The best title of the text is
A. Here comes Disneyland
B. The themes of Disneyland
C. Disneyland, making or losing money?
D. The world economic crisis

In China, if you want to read news on the Web, you just log on to a news website and glance through the Web pages. Online news is free of charge; many take that for granted. But things have been changing abroad.
A few foreign media have decided to charge readers for full access to their websites. The New York Times is the latest one to move in that direction to find ways to survive on the Web, as print subscriptions(訂閱) and advertising sales fall.
Starting in January 2011, a visitor to NYTtimes.com will be allowed to view only a certain number of articles free each month. To read more, the reader must pay a fee for unlimited access. Subscribers to the print newspaper will receive full access to the site without any additional charge.
The move is at the heart of a debate within the publishing business—whether to continue giving away valuable news on the Web, or start charging at the risk of losing readers. The debate has been out there for years. It has been growing more urgent over the past two years as newspaper ad revenues(收入) have fallen sharply.
The economic crisis has made things worse. Many newspapers have been shut down. The New York Times is also hit hard. It faces a sharp fall in ad revenue. It also faces competition from a growing number of news sites on the Web. Its online advertising hasn’t grown enough to make up for the fall in print ads. It has laid off some of its journalists to cut costs.
The major question is whether attempts to charge drive away online readers used to getting the news for free. Websites attract advertisers by showing that they have large numbers of visitors. Only a few US newspapers charge for access to articles on its website. But WSJ.com, the website of the Wall Street Journal, is the only successful one thanks to its unique content and good service. Chinese media are beginning to follow suit. The E-version of the People’s Daily has begun to charge users in January this year. Some experts say whether you like it or not, paid online news will be a trend in the future.
51. How many media mentioned in the text decide to charge for on-line news?
A. One.B. Two.
C. Three.D. Four.
52. The underlined phrase “l(fā)aid off” in Para.5 most probably means _________.
A. employedB. fired
C. blamedD. punished
53. We can learn that news media charging online readers will ___________.
A. become a trend in the future
B. lead to sales fall in print subscription
C. attract more readers and gain popularity
D. help earn more money to promote business
54. All the factors contributing to New York Times’ paid online news EXCEPT ____________.
A. a sharp fall in advertising revenue
B. a heated debate within the publishing business
C. the world economic crisis
D. fierce competition from new sites on the Web
55. The author’s attitude towards charging on-line readers is __________.
A. approvalB. neutral
C. disapproval D. praise

Gradually my dad can accept them a little and then we can have a little in common on music and life.

答案與解析
Ⅱ 語言知識及應(yīng)用
第一節(jié) 完形填空
本文講述發(fā)生在火車上的一個故事。
21. B。通過下文得知,作者是瞎的(blind),因此看不到女孩長什么樣。
22. C。通過女孩的回答“我不知道有人在這里”,得知作者突然說話使女孩驚訝。
23. A。該句意思是“視力好的人常常看不到就在他們眼前的東西,因為他們要看的東西太多了。”這是作者猜想女孩看不到自己的原因。
24. D。A項意思是“突然意識到,有恍然大悟之意”,B項意思是“理解,明白”,C項意思是“仔細(xì)檢查”,D項意思是“發(fā)現(xiàn)”。
25. A。“l(fā)ucky you”表示“你真幸運(yùn)”。
26. B。“recall”的意思是“回想起”。
27. D。火車進(jìn)站了,女孩收拾好行李(luggage),然后就下車了。其他選項內(nèi)容片面且在文中找不到依據(jù)。
28. C。“start the conversation again”意思“又開始談起話來”,與文章開頭作者主動與女孩談話一樣。
29. B。interesting意思是“令人感興趣的,有趣的”。通過文章可得知,作者對女孩充滿好奇,因此想繼續(xù)了解女孩的情況。
30. A。be of no use=be useless。女孩是瞎的,盡管眼睛很漂亮,但對她來說,已經(jīng)沒有用處了。
第二節(jié) 語法填空
本文主要講述司機(jī)開車時打電話會導(dǎo)致注意力不集中、引發(fā)安全事故。
31. led。led作后置定語, 修飾study,兩者構(gòu)成被動關(guān)系。
32. were divided。考查動詞的時態(tài)、語態(tài)。該句意思是:“參加實驗的41位司機(jī)被分為兩組。”
33. while。表示“然而”,與前句構(gòu)成對比關(guān)系。
34. more。通過下文“l(fā)arger”可判斷此處應(yīng)用比較級。
35. it。it在此作形式主語,“It turns out that”意思是“結(jié)果表明……”
36. a。researcher為可數(shù)名詞,不可能只以單數(shù)形式出現(xiàn),故在前面填冠詞a,表泛指。
37. that。引導(dǎo)同位語從句,進(jìn)一步補(bǔ)充說明“the fact”。
38. by。表示“通過……的方式”。
39. simplify。該句缺謂語動詞,故使用simple的動詞形式。
40. Therefore /Thus。此處前后構(gòu)成因果關(guān)系,因此填表示因果關(guān)系的副詞。
Ⅲ 閱讀
第一節(jié) 閱讀理解
(A)本文講述一位老人使陌生乘客成為朋友、讓車廂充滿溫暖的故事。
41. A。判斷寫作順序題。文章多處出現(xiàn)時間狀語,不難判斷文章主要以時間發(fā)展為順序進(jìn)行寫作的。故事并沒有呈現(xiàn)“原因和結(jié)果”的關(guān)系,因此選項D不正確。
42. C。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。在文章第二、三段可以找到答案。“guard against”意思是“避免,提防”。
43. A。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。在文章倒數(shù)第三段可以找到答案。A項錯在“buy flowers”。
44. D。推理判斷題。通過文章最后三段可以推斷。A、B項在文中找不到推理依據(jù),C項“gratitude”在文中也沒有體現(xiàn)。
45. B。理解作者的意圖。作者通過平實的語言,記敘一位老人在公交車上主動與陌生人打招呼,他的熱情拉近了人與人之間的距離,使車廂充滿溫暖,乘客之間開始成為朋友,互相關(guān)心對方的生活。作者目的在于呼吁人們要友善、熱情對待身邊的人,讓生活充滿愛。
(B)本文主要講述上海正在籌建世界第六個迪士尼主題樂園。
46. C。詞義推斷題。“palm off”原意是“說服某人購買或接受某物”,在本文的意思是“把某物硬塞給某人”。通過上下文可得知,迪士尼因要求各地迪士尼主題樂園遵守相同的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)而受到譴責(zé),例如,不允許售賣酒水。
47. D。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。A、B、C項可在原文第二、三段找到依據(jù)。
48. C。推理判斷題。根據(jù)原文第四段找到答案。推理判斷題,不能選擇閱讀文章中直接出現(xiàn)的句子作為答案,必須聯(lián)系上下文、對句子內(nèi)容進(jìn)行推理判斷得出答案。A項表達(dá)過于絕對,與最后一段“doubtful”不符,學(xué)生必須關(guān)注“surely, definitely, only, always, never, nothing, none”等表達(dá)絕對的詞。B項直接從文章第三段找到答案,不屬于推理判斷題的答案。D項在文中沒有提及。
49. B。在原文倒數(shù)第二段倒數(shù)第二句找到答案。
50. A。全文主要內(nèi)容是“上海迪士尼正在籌建中”,文章第一段起到引入主題的作用。其他選項過于片面:B項只提及第四段的內(nèi)容,C、D項只涉及最后一段的內(nèi)容。
(C)本文是有關(guān)讀者上網(wǎng)看新聞將交費的報道。
51. C。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章提及即將收費的媒體是NYTimes.com, WSJ.com, the People’s Daily。
52. B。詞義猜測題。“l(fā)ay off”意思是“解雇,裁員”。通過上下文可得知,因為受經(jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī)、廣告收入減少等影響,紐約時報裁員以減少開支。
53. A。綜合信息處理題。通讀全文,可根據(jù)最后一段內(nèi)容得出答案A。
54. B。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。在文章第四、五段找到答案。
55. B。理解作者的態(tài)度。本文客觀報道讀者上網(wǎng)看新聞將收費的事實,因此對該事件的態(tài)度也是中立的。
第二節(jié) 信息匹配
本信息匹配是關(guān)于明星的新聞報道,學(xué)生做題時不必閱讀整段新聞,只要抓住“人物和事情”兩個重點,然后尋找與新聞報道重點內(nèi)容相關(guān)的標(biāo)題。
56. D。本則新聞提到劉德華將參加2009春節(jié)晚會。
57. F。本則新聞講述趙薇獲邀演出新版《還珠格格》,她當(dāng)年主演該劇而成名,與 “Back to her roots”相關(guān)。
58. C。本則新聞講述鄭秀文主演的新劇《大搜查》,有別于以往輕松喜劇中扮演的“白領(lǐng)”角色,所以是 “No longer ladylike”。
59. B。新聞中“a huge eater”“his big appetite”與標(biāo)題“What an appetite(胃口、食欲)”對應(yīng)。
60. E。新聞中關(guān)鍵詞“charity work”與標(biāo)題“help out”對應(yīng)。
IV 寫作
第一節(jié) 基礎(chǔ)寫作 參考范文:
Dear Sir / Madam,
I have just returned from the English Summer Camp at your School of Language, and I’m writing to express my unhappiness with your program.
I took part in the program in order to improve my English,but to my disappointment, there were too many students in a class, in which case students were not able to practise a lot. Moreover, the course was simple and the topics were not fresh enough so that students’ interest in English could not be aroused. Worse still, no lunch was provided and therefore I had to go to the nearest restaurant, which was 30 minutes away. It was once said in your ad that students could be provided with many chances to enjoy social practice but badminton was the only activity organized. You can imagine how upset I am to have wasted my time and money and please give half of my money back, or I shall be forced to take the matter further.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二節(jié) 讀寫任務(wù) 參考范文:
When quarrelling, the readers successfully gain parents’ understanding by starting a deep conversation with them, writing to express thoughts and opinions and by getting involved in what they are both interested in.
In my opinion, the harmonious relationship with parents lies in respect and communication. To develop closer relationship, we should communicate with our parents more frequently, in which case quarrels and misunderstanding can be avoided.
It occurred to me the quarrel with my mom last year. Football was always my favorite sport but my mom didn’t allow me to play it after class, for she blamed it for my falling grades in study. A quarrel broke out since she hid my ball on purpose one Sunday. After that, I had a deal with my mom that I would only play football on weekends and I managed to catch up with my classmates in school. It was promise and trust that brought us closer and solved the problem.
In brief, with willingness to share our opinions, we can skillfully handle the relationship with parents.
