三．完形填空（10分）
I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a car and landing on my head. Now I am thirty-two. I can’t remember the brightness of sunshine and what color red is clearly. It would be 35 to see again, but a disaster can do strange things to people. I don’t mean I would 36 to go without my eyes. I simply mean
that the loss of them made me appreciate(珍惜)more what I had 37 .
My parents and my teachers saw something in me---a potential(潜能)to live---which I didn’t see, and they made me want to fight in out with blindness.
The 38 lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself. I am not talking about simply the kind of self-confidence that helps me down so unfamiliar staircase alone. I
39 something bigger than that: a confidence that I am, although being imperfect, a real, positive(积极的)person; that there is a special place where I can make myself fit.
It took me years to discover and strengthen this confidence. It had to start with the easy and simple things, 40 a man gave me an indoor baseball. I thought he was laughing at me and I was 41 . ―I can’t use this,‖ I said. ―Take with you,‖ he encouraged me, ―and roll it around.‖ The words were always in my head. ―Roll it around!‖ By rolling the ball I could hear where it went. This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought 42 before; playing baseball. At Philadelphia’s Overbrook School for the Blind I 43 a successful skill of baseball. We called it ground ball.
I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried to reach them, one at a time. I had to be clear about my limitations(限制). It was no good crying for something that I knew at the start was wildly out of reach because that only invited bitterness of failure. I would fail something anyway, 44 on the average(平均)I made progress.
( )35. A. helpful B. wonderful C. hopeful D. successful ( )36. A. fail B. try C. want D. prefer ( )37. A. lost B. left C. used D. cared ( )38. A. hardest B. boring C. simplest D. easiest ( )39. A. think B. consider C. guess D. mean ( )40. A. Later B. Soon C. Once D. Then
( )41. A. worried B. hurt C. shocked D. encouraged ( )42. A. important B. unimportant C. possible D. impossible ( )43. A. invented B. discovered C. ordered D. directed ( )44. A. so B. for C. but D. and

It seems to be strange to you there is a blind spot on the eyes. Here is an interesting experiment that can make something disappear, when one eye is open.
Make a card about the size of a postcard and write two English letters L and R on it, L on the left and R on the right. First, hold the card about 80 cm away and you see both the letters. Then close your right eye and look at the letter R only with your left eye. And now, as you move the card slowly towards you, you’ll find the letter L disappearing. But if you move the card nearer to your face, the letter will be seen again. Now do the same experiment with your left eye closed, you’ll find the letter R disappearing.
Why does the letter disappear? It is because there is a blind spot on the eye. When the image (影像) of the letter falls on the blind spot, it won’t be seen. That is why either of the letters disappears.

Two men, Alan and Henry, both seriously ill, shared a hospital room. Alan was allowed to sit up in his bed and his bed was next to the room’s only window. Henry had to spend all his time flat on his back.
The men talked for hours, of their wives, families, their homes and their jobs. And every afternoon when Alan, in the bed next to the window, could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Lovers walked arm in arm among flowers. Trees and skyline could be seen in the distance. As he described all this, Henry, on the other side of the room, would close his eyes and imagine the scene.
One warm afternoon Alan described a parade passing by. Although Henry could not hear the band, he could see it in his mind. Unexpectedly, a strange thought entered his head: Why should he have all the pleasure of seeing everything while I never got to see anything? It doesn’t seem fair. Henry felt ashamed at first. But as the days passed and he missed seeing more sight, his envy grew and soon let him down. He began to find himself unable to sleep. He should be by that window ---and that thought now controlled his life.
Late one night, as he lay looking at the top of the room. Alan began to cough. He was choking(窒息的). Henry watched in the dark room as the struggling man tried hard to reach for the button to call for help. Listening from across the room, he never moved, never pushed his own button which would have brought the nurse running. In less than five minutes, the coughing and choking stopped, along with the sound of breathing. Now, there was only silence---deathly silence.
As soon as it seemed suitable, Henry asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch(交换)and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.
Slowly, painfully, he struggled to take his first look. Finally, he would have the joy of seeing it all himself. He looked out, but faced a black wall.

A. He was moved to another room. B. He died.

A. to see the blank wall B. to feel the joy of seeing the outside world C. to feel the joy of breathing fresh air D. to see more than Alan （ ）54. Which of following words could be used to describe Alan? A. Kind-hearted and imaginative. B. Inactive and humorous. C. Impatient and funny. D. Cold-hearted and selfish.
（D）
A situation in which a student is troubled by his parents asking him to go into a job area that makes good money but he doesn’t want to go into, is a bad situation. The question is whether he should go into this job or not.
To start with, you need to go for what is best for YOU, even if there would be some negative(消极的)results. You can’t be happy if you don’t make decisions that are right for you. If you do not make your own decisions and make decisions that will be good for you, your life would be a big lie to yourself, which is not a sign that you have done something you wanted to do.
Living a lie would not be a very good life. The truth is much better than living a lie. If your whole life is a lie, then it is not a very beautiful life at all. In the song Lyin’ Eyes, the woman is living a lie by pretending(假装)she loves the old man, while in reality she was just in it for money. As a result, her life is miserable(悲惨的) and a big lie.
And finally, money cannot buy happiness. A good example of this is also from the song Lyin’ Eyes. The only reason why the woman married the old man was for the money and gifts she would receive. This results in her life are not happy at all. This just goes to show that no matter how much money you have, your life still might not be happy. It takes a lot more than a bunch of green paper to make your life a good one.
In conclusion, doing what you want is best. If you don’t do what you want to, you won’t be happy with your life.
（ ）55. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Parents should not ask their children to live a lie.
B. There is something more important than money in life. C. Young people should make their own career decisions. D. Young people are happy to make their own decisions.
（ ）56. The underlined part a bunch of green paper in Paragraph 4 refers to(指) _______.
A. gifts B. dreams C. imagination D. money
（ ）57. Which of the following arguments is NOT used to support the writer’s conclusion?
A. It’s best to do what you want. B. You need to make your own decisions. C. Money doesn’t mean happiness. D. Living a lie would not be good.

八．任务型阅读（5分）
Trees are one of the oldest plants of our earth．Just like us，trees change a lot when they grow. At one to three years old，young trees learn how to protect themselves. For example，many trees grow thorns (刺) to tell animals not to go near.
6
Most young trees have large, deep green leaves so that they can catch enough sunlight and change it into their food and energy.
When trees are 4 years old，they begin to grow very fast and become strong enough to face challenges (挑战) in life.
At the age of l5，trees become young adults. They grow more slowly and begin to grow flowers and fruit.
It is not until the trees are 20 to 25 years old that they become real adults．The trees reach their largest sizes. Adult trees give us many things such as oxygen (氧气) and natural beauty. If we give them good care，they will go on to live healthily for many years．
As time goes on，trees begin to grow older and older and even die．At this time，they still have their important place in nature．In many ways，the life of trees is like our own life experience.
Enjoy every minute of the life of the trees and take care of them! Title: The (1) of trees （2） Growing Things they can do 1～3 Growing thorns； Learn to protect themselves； Having large, deep green (3) enough sunlight and leaves change it into their food and energy Growing very fast； Becoming strong enough Face challenges in life 4 15 Becoming young adults； Grow flowers and fruit Growing more (4) Becoming real adults； Reaching their largest sizes Give people many things (5) oxygen and natural beauty 20～25 九．作文（10分）
