A

I was parked in front of the mall wiping off my car.I had just come from the car wash and was waiting for my wife to get out of work.

Coming my way from across the parking lot was what society would consider a bum.From the looks of him, he had no car, no home, no clean clothes, and no money.There are times when you feel generous but there are other times that you just don't want to be bothered.This was one of those "don't want to be bothered times".

" I hope he doesn't ask me for any money," I thought.

He didn't.He came and sat on the edge of the pavement in front of the bus stop but he didn't look like he could have enough money to even ride the bus.After a few minutes he spoke.

"That's a very pretty car," he said.

He was in rags but he had an air of dignity around him.His badly-grown blond beard kept more than his face warm.

I said, "thanks," and continued wiping off my car.He sat there quietly as I worked.The expected plea(乞求) for money never came.As the silence between us widened, something inside said, "ask him if he needs any help." I was sure that he would say "yes" but I held true to the inner voice.

"Do you need any help?" I asked.

He answered in three simple words that I shall never forget.We often look for wisdom in great men and women.We expect it from those of higher learning and achievements.I expected nothing but an outstretched dirty hand.He spoke the three words that shook me.

"Don't we all?" he said.

56. Why did the writer parked his car before the mall?

A. Because he wanted to pick up his wife.

B. Because he wanted to show off his car.

C. Because he wanted to wipe off his car.

D. Because he wanted to do some shopping.

A. dustman B. driver C. beggar D. robber

58. Which is the best title for this text?

A. A good husband B. Didn't he need help?

C. Don't we all? D. One should be generous

B

The parents of a troubled teen may feel unsure as to whom to turn to in order to find help for their child. They may feel as if they have exhausted all of their options, and sometimes they are on the verge of giving up. But there is hope. Schools for troubled teens offer discipline and in some cases, drug treatment programs that can provide important life skills, and more importantly, a fresh start.

The following is a list of the most effective types of schools for troubled teens. Not every facility is a match for every child, but by knowing the differences between them, parents can make a better educated decision about where to send their teenager.

Boarding Schools

When a child is unable to deal with the relative freedom of a standard school day, boarding schools might be a good choice. At boarding schools, the child lives in a dorm setting, where almost every minute of the day is scheduled by school administrators.

Treatment Centers

When a teenager has an addiction to drugs or alcohol, a residential center that specializes in young people is an outstanding way to help them break the cycle of addiction. Treatment centers feature individual and group counseling to help identify the root causes of the drug problem and help develop the life skills needed to stay clean when the program is over.

Wilderness Programs

Designed to help improve the discipline and self-reliance of the child, wilderness programs send kids back to nature. By placing them in a foreign and sometimes uncomfortable setting, wilderness programs hope to improve children’s behavior. Programs generally include hikes, exercise programs and team building exercises.

Boot Camps

Boot camps are the most extreme style of school for troubled teens. These facilities are modeled after actual military boot camps, where the individual must get into shape, work as part of a team, and follow a long, hard set of rules and regulations. However, boot camps might not be the best choice for a teen with a drug addiction.

59. Who would be the intended readers of the passage?

A. Teachers. B. Parents. C. Students. D. Experts.

60. As the author suggests schools for troubled teens______.

A. can be a good choice for some desperate parents

B. are becoming more and more popular with teens in trouble

C. can completely change troubled teens

61. According to the passage, boarding schools_____.

A. provide children with more freedom

B. have their students’ time managed carefully

C. pay much attention to team building exercises

D. can make children feel safer

62. What’s the purpose of this passage?

A. To introduce schools for troubled teens.

C. To teach parents how to educate their children.

D. To remind parents to care for their children.

C

You get all sorts of demands, and the mark of a good hotel is to supply whatever is asked for without sounding surprised. If a guest asks for rubbers gloves, you don’t ask why. You say, “No problem. What color do you want?”

There have been some demands which, much as I would have liked to fill, I couldn’t. A Japanese businessman, for example, thought the manager of a hotel was like his girlfriend so he asked me to marry him to the woman he loved. There was one time, however, we did help out. A young man thought that if he asked his girlfriend to marry him at the Ritz(瑞士著名的豪华酒店)she would say yes. He asked us to put the ring in a cake, and she accepted.

Top hotels are used more and more to impress. They are used for doing business. If you’ve got something to sell, take your clients(客户) to the best hotel where the surroundings are quite helpful. A friend of mine working at Savoy Hotel tells the story about a man who gave him 5 pounds to say “Good morning, Mr. Smith saying, “I do wish they would leave me alone at this place.”

According to Julian Payne, the most powerful people in any hotel are the porters, who carry bags for hotel guests. “Porters can do almost anything. They can get you tables at the best restaurants or tickets for a popular concert. Don’t ask me how they do it or what their deal is because I don’t know. Most of them have been there for years. They know more about the history of the hotel and the guests than anyone else. They are invaluable. A head porter will come in even on his day off so he can say hello to someone he remembers visiting the hotel years ago.”

63. When guests ask for something strange, the manager of a good hotel would think _____.

A. how he can meet their needs

B. why they have such demands

C. what problems the hotels has

D. who is the best person to go to

64. Why are the porters considered the most powerful people in expensive hotels?

A. They sell tickets for concerts

B. They can complete difficult tasks

C. They know the history of hotels

D. They usually work in a hotel for a long time

65. Which of the following examples explains “we did help out?”

A. The hotel bought a ring for a young lady

B. A Japanese married the woman he loved

C. The manager once acted as a captain

D. A young lady agreed to marry her boyfriend

66. By saying “I do wish they would leave me alone at this place”, Mr. Smith_____.

A. showed that he disliked such people at the hotel

B. gave the impression that he was a constant guest

C. tried to make his clients feel sorry for him

D. sounded as if he was tired of such greeting

D

Scientists in Mexico have just begun a new study of one of the world’s biggest pyramids: the Pyramid of the Sun, north of Mexico City. They’re putting lots of small, high-tech machines under the pyramid to try to unlock some of its secrets. For thousands of years, people have tried to uncover the secrets of the pyramids.

The people who built the pyramids made lots of secret doors and rooms to stop robbers from finding the treasures inside. However, there always have been some smart thieves in history. Now, almost all of Egypt’s pyramids have been robbed, including the Great Pyramid of Khufu, which is the largest pyramid in the world. It is the only one of the ancient wonders of the world that is still standing.

In AD 820, an Arab king named Abdullah AL Manum got a group of workers to dig their way into the Great Pyramid and have a look. Inside the pyramid, they found three rooms—the Queen’s Chamber, the Grand Gallery and the King’s Chamber. But to their surprise, the men didn’t find the treasures they wanted. The Queen’s and King’s Chambers were both empty! Where were the King’s mummy and his treasures? Had someone already taken them away? The huge stone doors at the pyramid’s entrance were still closed when AL Manum’s men went inside. How had the thieves got in and out?

Since then, many people have gone inside the Great Pyramid to have a look or to try to take things. But still, no other chambers or walkways have been found.

In 2002, an American team made the most recent visit to the Great Pyramid. Scientists sent a robot into the pyramid, but they only found a mysterious locked stone door.

67. The first two paragraphs were written to show that ____.

68. What is the purpose of making some secret doors to the pyramids? _______.

A. To try to unlock some of its secrets

B. To stop robbers from finding the treasures inside

C. To refuse some visitors all over the world into it

D. To tell the truth to the people in the future

69. Which of the following is NOT true to the Great Pyramid of Khufu? ______.

A. It is the largest pyramid in the world.

B. It is the only one of the ancient wonders that is still standing.

C. Abdullah AL Manum took the King’s mummy and his treasures away

D. Scientists found a mysterious locked stone door to the Great Pyramid

70. What would be the best title for the text?

A. The Pyramid of the Sun

B. The Great Pyramid of Khufu

C. A Mysterious Locked Stone Door

D. Unlocking the Doors of History

第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Watching a sporting event with family and friends under the sun is a great experience in summer. 71 In the United States, heat exposure led to 8,000 deaths between 1979 and 2003. Luckily, a little prevention can go a long way towards making sure of an enjoyable day.

Know the danger

Heat-related illnesses do not require record-breaking temperatures to occur. 72 The body’s temperature can reach 106 or 107 degrees Fahrenheit on a 90-degree day, creating a potentially deadly situation. Factors such as age, weight or a medical condition can influence people.

Drink plenty of water

73 Sweating is your body’s key way to keep cool, so drink water to stay well hydrated(含水的) before you feel thirsty. A cool beer may sound perfect on a hot day, but drink responsibly. Alcohol stops the body’s cooling system and causes you to go to the bathroom frequently.

74

Wear light-colored and loosely fitting clothing, so air can go around your body and help keep you cool. A hat is a must to help you keep cool, since your head contains many blood vessels(血管)， and sun block(防晒乳) is always a good idea.

Take action

What should you do if you are suffering from the heat while watching your favorite event?

Get up and go. It is a simple piece of advice, but could make the difference between a quick recovery and something more severe that requires medical attention. The ideal thing is to move yourself from the position you’re in to an area that is a little cooler. 75

A. Dress for the occasion

B. Weather-related causes

C. In hot weather, it is essential to stay hydrated.

D. You may miss a little of the action, but it beats missing a lot.

E. But when you add sun exposure to the crowds, the results can be deadly.

F. It is also important to take advantage of services the equipment provides.

G. Temperatures between 80 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit can be dangerous.

It is known to us all, paper burns easily. Yesterday, Mike, a six-year-old boy, made a paper box and then filled it for water. He then lit a candle and tries to burn the paper box. Much to his surprises, the paper box didn’t catch fire. Such curious was the child about the experiment that he asked for his father endless questions about it. His father, which is a teacher in a primary school, didn’t know how to ask these questions, but he didn’t pretend to understand. He did everything he could help his son solve the problem. This experience made Mike interesting in the study of modern science.
