Once upon a time, two brothers who lived on adjoining(相临) farms fell into conflict.

One morning there was a knock on John‟s door. He opened it 36 a man with a carpenter‟s tool box. “ I‟m looking for a few days‟ work, ” he said. “Perhaps you would have a few small 37 here and there I could 38 . Could I help you?”

The carpenter said, “I think I understand the 44 . Show me the nails and the post hole digger（桩穴挖掘机 ）and I‟ll be able to do a job that 45 you.”

The elder brother had to go to town, so he helped the carpenter 46 the materials ready and then he was off for the day. The carpenter worked hard all that day measuring, sawing, nailing, and hammering.

About sunset when the farmer 47 , the carpenter 48 his job. The farmer‟s eye opened wide, and his jaw dropped. There was no fence there 49 .

It was a bridge – a bridge 50 from one side of the creek to the other! A fine piece of work ---- handrails and all ---- and the neighbour , his younger brother, was coming across, his hand 51 .

“You are quite a fellow to build this bridge after all I‟ve said and done.”

The two brothers stood at each 52 of the bridge, and then they met in the middle, 53 each other‟s hand. They turned to see the carpenter lift his tool box on his shoulder.

A

“Mom, can I bake some bread?” We were 15, my best friend, Hanna, and I, determined to try our hands at creating some beautiful bread. “It‟s not worth the trouble,” my mother said. “It takes lots of time and makes a big mess. Our bakery bread is delicious without all that effort.”

Begging was useless. Mom‟s “no” meant “No!”

But several weeks later, opportunity knocked: My parents were going out for the evening. I immediately invited Hanna to be my partner in bread-baking crime.

We studied the recipe. That was easy. “Mix oil into flour, then beat in four of the eggs, one at a time, with remaining sugar and salt.”

We were not good at breaking eggs. I tried to learn from my mother.

“Gradually add eight cups of flour. When dough (面团) holds together, squeeze it.”

We took turns working like that. “Is the dough „holding together‟?” we asked each other. I remembered my neighbor‟s instructions: “If it‟s too sticky, add some flour; if too dry, add water.”

We added water. Then more flour. Then more water. By then, the mass of our dough had grown very much.

“Place dough on floured surface and squeeze till smooth,” the recipe instructed.

We took turns burying our hands in the damp dough, pinching, squeezing, and feeling it leak between fingers.

“Clean and oil bowl, then return dough to bowl. Cover and let dough rise in warm place for 1 hour.”

This was good news --- we‟d have a break. On dirtied kitchen chairs, we dreamed about our beautiful bread. “See?” we would tell my mom. “Isn‟t it worth the work?”

Hanna and I couldn‟t help glancing at the rising process every few minutes. But nothing was happening.

“Maybe something will happen in the hot oven,” I said.

Unfortunately, when we removed the loaves from the oven, they were like hard stones.

Mom was right; it takes time and effort. It sometimes makes a mess. But still it feels good, somehow, to be part of that long, ongoing chain of bread bakers. Since that night, both Hanna and I have learned to do it right.

56. To the writer, what her mother said was __________.

A. law B. rubbish C. advice D. warning

57. Which of the following can best describe the children‟s feelings while making their first

bread? A. Confident; hopeful; disappointed. B. Curious; hopeful; disappointed. C. Interested; excited; satisfied. D. Worried; satisfied; proud. 58. Which of the following did the writer do without instructions?

A. Placed dough on floured surface. B. Added eight cups of flour to eggs. C. Returned dough to a cleaned bowl. D. Placed the dough into the hot oven. 59. The passage mainly tells us ______________. A. the process of making bread B. the conflict between mother and daughter C. the first experience of making bread D. the way of doing housework

Most, if not all, Chinese have become richer thanks to 28 years of reform and opening up. But are we any happier?

Various surveys attempt to answer this question. Though experts have presented varying percentages based on different standards, their answers tend to find we are generally happier, and the number of optimists rises each year. The Chinese Academy of Social Sciences‟ 2006 Blue Book on social progress says 70 per cent of rural and urban citizens surveyed in 2005 reported a feeling of happiness and were optimistic about their futures.

But each survey shows a worrisome fact that 10 per cent, at the lowest, of citizens were not content with their lives or not hopeful about the future. We cannot be content with the fact that at least 130 million of our countrymen are not happy. Although a sense of happiness remains a luxury（奢望）for many of our countrymen because of poverty, we agree wealth is not the only factor of happiness. For most of us, except the extremely rich and naturally born optimists, there simply are too many variables (可变物) that may kill the feeling of happiness. These include, but are not limited to, rising housing prices, tight and instable job market, back-breaking schooling expenses and medical bills.

The most common one, however, is a low sense of security (安全). Some experts pointed that in the low-and-middle income group there was too much uncertainty regarding employment, income, housing, medical situations, and education. How can you feel happy when you always have to prepare yourself for the unexpected?

It may be beyond the government‟s reach, not to mention duty, to guarantee (保证) higher income for every citizen. But it does have a burden to create an environment where all citizens can feel a reasonable level of security.

. From the second paragraph we learn _____________________.

A. 70 % of Chinese people feel happy and optimistic about their future B. the data and the conclusions of the surveys are the same

C. the surveys about the sense of happiness were carried out in 2006 D. the purpose of the surveys is to find out the percentage of rich people

65. The following factors of happiness are mentioned in the passage EXCEPT _________.

A. security B. environment C. wealth D. employment 66. The underlined word “countrymen” in Paragraph 3 refers to ___________. A. people from the countryside B. people from cities C. people from all countries D. Chinese citizens

67. According to the passage, the author tends to hold the view that _________.

A. the wealthier we get, the happier we become B. though we get wealthier, we do not feel happier

C. it is the government‟s duty to raise every citizen‟s income

D. the government should make sure all citizens feel a good level of security

D

Testing has taken the place of teaching in most public schools. Pretests, drills, tests, and

.

retests. They know that the best way to read a textbook is to look at the questions at the end of the chapter and then read the text quickly for the answers. I believe that my daughter Erica, who gets excellent marks, has never read a chapter of any of her school textbooks all the way through. And teachers are often heard to say proudly and openly that they teach to the test.

Teaching to the test is a curious phenomenon（现象）. Instead of deciding what skills students ought to learn, helping students learn them, and then using some methods of assessment（评价） to discover whether students have mastered the skills, teachers are encouraged to teach the students in the opposite way. First one looks at a test. Then one chooses the skills needed not to master reading, but to do well in the test. Finally, the test skills are taught.

The ability to read or write might suggest the ability to do reasonably well on standardized tests. However, neither reading nor writing develops simply through being taught to take tests. We must be careful to avoid mistaking preparations for a test of a skill with the acquisition（习得）of that skill. Too many discussions of basic skills make this misunderstanding because people are tested rather than concerned with the nature and quality of what is taught.

Recently, many schools have faced what could be called the crisis of comprehension or, in simple words, the phenomenon of students with grammar skills still being unable to understand what they read. These students are quite good at test taking and filling in workbooks. However, they have little or no experience reading or thinking, and talking about what they read. They know the details but can‟t see or understand the whole. They are taught to be so concerned with grades that they have no time to think about meaning, and reread things if necessary. 68. The author mentions Erica‟s performance in her study in order to show_________. A. her cleverness in test taking B. the good way to take tests C. the improper way of teaching D. the best way to read textbooks 69. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. The teachers are curious about teaching to the test.

B. Skills in general are not only useless but often mislead students.

C. Ability to read and write has nothing to do with ability to do well in tests. D. Preparations for a test of a skill do not mean the acquisition of that skill. 70. In the author‟s opinion, _______________________.

A. some good methods of assessment should take the place of tests

B. more attention should be paid to the nature and quality of what is taught

C. students should not be concerned with grades but do more reading and thinking D. students needn‟t learn grammar skills because they are useless for understanding

71. By “crisis of comprehension” (in Paragraph 4) the author means many students __________. A. are too much concerned with grades

B. fail to understand the real goal of education C. lack proper practice in grammar drills

D. do well on tests but can‟t understand what they read

E

For many creatures, the danger of global warming is more than too much heat. You can get temperature-related effects that may not be what you expect. Slight environmental change can affect physiological (生理的) needs and weaken the ability of animals to keep a large enough population for them to live on even when the temperature rise is too mild to kill any creatures.

Biologists usually don‟t know enough about an animal to assess this risk. Their knowledge comes largely from laboratory research on bits and pieces of a creature‟s physiology. This method doesn‟t tell how an animal as a living whole responds to climate change in where it lives.

.

Now, 10 years of research that joined laboratory study with field work has explained the decrease in the populations of eelpout, a kind of fish in the southern part of the North Sea. Drs. Pörtner and Knust have shown that a mild rise in water temperature can reduce the water‟s ability to hold oxygen, and, at the same time, it increases the fish‟s need for more oxygen to keep active, otherwise they will be killed or have to move away.

The researchers discovered that, over the past five decades, eelpout populations decreased when summer temperatures rose. They also found that warmer summers reduced eelpout population the following year.

Danish scientists noted that “it remains difficult to determine that increased temperature is the cause for the eelpout population decrease.” Yet they accepted the connection between temperature and population size as recorded in the field with the effect of temperature on the fish‟s oxygen needs as recorded in the laboratory. They found this connection between laboratory and field data to be “persuasive”.

72. It is implied in Paragraph 2 that biologists‟ research in labs is _________. A. useless B. unscientific C. incomplete D. unimportant 73. When it gets hot enough, eelpouts will either die or ___________. A. try to take less oxygen B. swim to cooler places C. eat less and rest more D. go down to sea bottom 74. We learn from the passage that ______________.

A. once the temperature rises, eelpouts will be killed by heat B. the temperature rise is only an indirect killer of eelpouts C. only a high enough temperature rise is dangerous to eelpouts D. the temperature rise kills only those weak and old eelpouts 75. Which of the following is the possible title of the passage? A. More heat＝Less oxygen B. More heat≠Less oxygen C. More heat﹥Less oxygen D. More heat﹤Less oxygen

An Eyewitness Account of a Traffic Accident My name is Li Ming. I saw a traffic accident on my way to school. It happened at about 7:00 on the morning of April 2nd. It was raining heavily. Two boys were riding a bike, talking with each other. They were holding an umbrella in one hand, and the handle in the other. As they turned right, a car came out at a high speed turning left on the corner. Both the boys and the driver acted quickly, but it was too late. One of the boys was hit by the car and badly hurt.

In my opinion, there are several reasons for this tragedy. First, the boy was absent- minded. He was talking all the way, dangerously holding an umbrella while riding. Second, the bad weather and the slippery road made it hard for the driver to bring the car to a full stop suddenly. Last, the big tree made the road conditions invisible when they were going to make a turn.
