A
The first time I saw Carlos I would never have believed he was going to change my life．I had my arms full of books and I was rushing into the classroom when 1 ran into something solid. It was Carlos.
\"My... you're tall,\" he said. The whole class burst out laughing .
―Take that seat,‖ Mr. McCarthy told the cocky(骄傲自大的) newcomer Carlos，pointing to the only empty one , in the back of the room.
Carlos laughed widely. \"But I need a couple of dictionaries.\"
The bell rang for classes. As I stood up to go, I saw Carlos coming toward me. \"I'm sorry I embarrassed you,\" he said . I looked straight ahead over the top of his black hair. \"That's all right.\" \"I ought to know better.\" He was still blocking my way. \"What's your name?\" \"Karen Forbes.\" He held out his hand. Unwillingly, I shook hands with him. He looked up at me seriously with his brown eyes. \" I am Carlos . I don't see why you're so touchy.\" It was the school elections that made me think of Carlos again. Carlos was voted vice-president．―How come ?‖ I kept asking myself, \"How come this shrimp（虾）who’s only been in town for a little over a month gets to be so popular?\"
So on that morning，I stopped Carlos and said，―It doesn't seem to bother you — being short.‖ He looked up at me, \"Of course I mind being short．But there isn’t anything I can do about it. When I realized I was going to have to spend my life in this undersized skin, I just decided to make the best of it and concentrate on being myself.\" \"You seem to get along great,‖ I admitted, \"But what about me? The trouble with you is you’re afraid to be yourself. You’re smart. And you could be pretty. In fact, you might be more than pretty.‖ I felt myself turning red… 56. It is a story about a short boy who . A. won the school election
B. is ashamed of his height
D. is embarrassed by his class
C. has learned to accept his size
57. From the text, we can see Carlos is . A. handsome and proud B. humorous and confident C. diligent but shy A. moved B. cheerful
D. honest but sensitive
C. curious D. annoyed
58.The underlined word \"touchy\" in paragraph 8 probably means . 59. According to the text, which is the most likely ending? A. The author didn’t want to make friends with Carlos B. Carlos and the author argued with each other. C. The author changed her attitude towards Carlos. D. Carlos was elected president of the student committee.
B
The other day, my friend Jane was invited to a 40th birthday party. The time printed on the invitation was 7:30 pm．Jane went off with her husband, expecting a merry evening of wine, food, and song．
By 9:45, everybody was having great fun, but no food had appeared. Jane and David were restless. Other guests began whispering that they, too, were starving．But no one wanted to leave, just in
case some food was about to appear. By 11:00, there was still no food, and everyone was completely off their heads. Jane and David left hungry and angry．
Their experience suggests that the words on the printed invitations need to be made clearer. Everyone reads and understands the invitations differently. Most of us would agree that 6:30 - 8:30 pm means drinks only, go out to dinner afterwards; 8:00 pm or 8:30 pm means possible dinner, but 9:30 pm and any time thereafter means no food, eat beforehand, arrive late．
But this is not always the case．If asked to a students’ party at 6:30 pm, it is unaccepted for guests to appear on time. Being the first to arrive — looking eager — is social death. When my mother is asked to a party at 6:30, she likes to be there, if not on time, then no later than seven．My age group (late thirties) falls somewhere between the two, but because we still think we’re young, we’re probably closer to student-time than grown-up time．
The accepted custom at present is confusing, sometimes annoying, and it often means you may go home hungry, but it does lend every party that precious element of surprise． 60.The underlined words ―off their heads‖ probably mean _______． A. tired
B. crazy
C. happy
D. encouraging
61.Jane and David’s story is used to show that _______． A．party invitations can be confusing
B．party-goers usually get hungry at parties C．people should ask for food at parties
D．birthday parties for middle-aged people are dull
62. For some young people, arriving on time for a students’ party will probably be considered _______． A．very difficult
B．particularly thoughtful D．socially unacceptable
C．friendly and polite
63. What is the general idea of the text? A．It’s safe to arrive late just when food is served． B．It’s wise to eat something before going to a party． C．It’s important to follow social rules of party-going． D．There’s no need to read invitations carefully．
C
People use their mouths for many things. They eat, talk, shout and sing. They smile and they kiss. In the English language, there are many expressions using the word―mouth‖.
For example, if you say bad things about a person, the person might protest and say―Do not bad mouth me. ‖Sometimes, people say something to a friend or family member that they later regret because it hurts that person’s feelings. Or they tell the person something they were not supposed to tell. The speaker might say:―I really put my foot in my mouth this time. ‖If this should happen, the
speaker might feel down in the mouth. In other words, he might feel sad for saying the wrong thing.
Another situation is when someone falsely claims another person said something, the other person might protest,―I did not say that . Do not put words in my mouth. ‖
Some people have lots of money because they were born into a very rich family. There is an expression for this, too. You might say such a person―Born with a silver spoon in his mouth. ‖This rich person is the opposite of a person who lives from hand to mouth. This person is very poor and only has enough money for the most important things in life, like food.
Parents might sometimes withhold（拒给）sweet food from a child as a form of punishment for saying bad things. For example, if a child says things she should not say to her parents, she might be described as a mouthy child. The parents might even tell the child to stop mouthing off. But enough of all this talk, I have been running my mouth long enough. 64．In what kind of situation will a person say―Do not bad mouth me. ‖? A．When he feels down.
B．When he feels regretful.
C．When he is spoken ill of. D．When he feels proud.
65．If a person feels sorry for what he has said, he might say ―_____‖ A．Do not bad mouth me.
B．I really put my foot in my mouth this time. C．Do not put words in my mouth. D．Stop mouthing off.
66．If a person lives from hand to mouth, it implies _____ . A．he is badly-off C．he is well-off
B．he is hard-working D．he has enough to eat
67．By saying―I have been running my mouth long enough.‖, the speaker means ―_____‖ A．I have run a long way. C．I have learned a lot.
B．I have been a mouthy person.
D．I have talked too much. D
I once had my Chinese MBA students brainstorming on ―two-hour business plans‖. I separated them into six groups and gave them an example: a restaurant chain. The more original their idea, the better, I said. Finally, five of the six groups presented plans for restaurant chains. The sixth suggested a catering service. Though I admitted the time limit had been difficult, I expressed my disappointment.
My students were middle managers, financial analysts and financiers from state-owned and global companies. They were not without talent or opinions, but they had been shaped by an educational system that rarely stressed or rewarded critical thinking or inventiveness. The scene I just described came in different forms during my two years’ teaching at the school. Papers were often
copied from the Web and the Harvard Business Review. Case study debates were written up and just memorized. Students frequently said that copying is a better business strategy(策略), better than inventing and creating.
In China, every product you can imagine has been made and sold. But there are so few well developed marketing and management minds that it will be a long time before most people in the world can name a Chinese brand.
With this problem in mind, co-operation with institutions like Yale and MIT have been started . And then there’s the ―thousand talent program‖: this new government program is intended to improve technological modernization(现代化). It can attract top foreign trained scientists to the mainland with big money. But there are worries about China’s research environment.
At last, for China, becoming a major world creator is not just about co-operation with top Western universities. Nor is it about gathering a group of well-educated people and telling them to think creatively. It’s about offering a rich learning environment for young minds. It’s not that simple. 68. Why does the author feel disappointed at his students? A. Because there is one group presenting a catering service. B. Because the six groups made projects for restaurant chains. C. Because all the students copied a case for the difficult topic. D. Because the students’ ideas were lacking in creativeness. 69. We can infer from the passage that ________. A. China can make and sell any product all over the world
B. high pay may not solve the problem of China’s research environment C. cooperation with institutions has been set up to make a Chinese brand D. the new government program are aimed at encouraging imagination 70. Which is the best title of the passage?
A. Look for a New Way of Learning. B. Reward Creative Thinking. C. How to Become a Creator. D. Establish a technical Environment. 第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）

There was once a lonely girl who longed so much for love. One day while she was walking in the woods she found two starving birds. 71 She cared them with love and the birds grew strong. Every morning they greeted her with a wonderful song. The girl felt the great love from the birds. 72 The larger and the stronger of the two birds flew from the cage. The girl was so frightened that he would fly away. As he flew close, she grasped him wildly. Her heart felt glad at her success in catching him. 73 . She opened her hand and stared in horror at the dead bird. Her desperate love had killed him.
She noticed the other bird moving back and forth on the edge of the cage. She could feel his great need for freedom. He needed to fly into the clear, blue sky. 74 . The bird circled once, twice, three times.
The girl watched delightedly at the bird’s enjoyment. 75 She wanted the bird to be happy. Suddenly the bird flew closer and landed softly on her shoulder. It sang the sweetest songs that she had ever heard.
The fastest way to lose love is to hold on it too tight, while the best way to keep love is to give it wings!
A. She gave them some delicious food and left. B. Suddenly she felt the bird go softly.
C. Her heart was no longer concerned with her loss. D. One day she left with the two birds at home alone. E. She took them home and put them in a small cage. F. One day the girl left the door of the cage open.

How are you? I've got a wonderful news to tell you. I have offered a scholarship at a university in Australia for my further education. One hundred and twenty student took the exam for it, but only a few were chosen and I was one of them. Therefore, my parents are not happy about it. They are strong against my going there. They say it is too far away that they will not see me for a whole year and they are afraid that I will feel alone. They can't imagine a girl so young live alone.

书面表达：
We high school students have taken many tests and exams, which brought us not only the joy of success, but the frustration of failure as well. Different students may take the failures with different attitudes.
Some will lose heart and no longer study as hard as before. But most students take an active attitude towards it. They encourage themselves to be self-confident. In most cases, the students will turn to the experienced teachers and advisers, who can help them out with their own life stories or their experience. These students will benefit a lot from the failure by regaining the courage and the confidence in the end.
In my opinion, failure is the mother of success. Every great man failed many times before they succeeded eventually.
