But one big problem lay in her way. To be good enough to play in a band, Brenda had to practice a lot, but she lived next-door to a lot of old people. Many of them are sick. She knew that the sound of beating drums would really get on their nerves. So, she had tried playing in the strangest places: a basement, a kitchen, and even in a shower. But there was always someone it would annoy.‎ ‎    One day, while watching a science documentary on TV, she heard that sound cannot travel in space, because there's no air. At that moment, Brenda Bongos decided to become a sort of musical astronaut.‎ ‎    With the help of a lot of time, books and work, Brenda built a space bubble. This was a big glass ball connected to a machine which sucked out all the air inside. All that would be left inside was a drum kit（成套设备） and a chair. Brenda got into the space suit she had made, entered the bubble, turned on the machine, and played those drums like a wild child.‎ ‎    It wasn't long before Brenda Bongos came very famous. Many people came to see her play in her space bubble. Shortly afterwards she came out of the bubble and started giving concerts. Her fame spread so much that the government suggested that she be part of a unique space journey. Finally, Brenda was a real musical astronaut, and had gone far beyond her first ambition of playing drums in a band. ‎ Years later, when asked how she had achieved all this, she thought for a moment, and said: ''If those old people next – door hadn't mattered so much to me, I wouldn't have found a solution, and none of this would have ever happened.''‎ ‎ ‎ ‎35．Why did Brenda try to play in the strangest places?‎ A. Because she didn't want others to hear her play B. Because she didn't mean to disturb others.‎ C. Because she didn't have her own room D. Because she didn’t like her neighbors.‎ ‎36．Brenda started to give concerts _______.‎ A. after she practiced in her space bubble B. when she became part of the unique space journey C. after she became a real musical astronaut D. when people came to see her in the space bubble ‎37．Brenda became famous because _______.‎ A. she was good at music and science   B. she became a real musical astronaut C. she invented a special way of practice  D. she played well and had a talent ‎38．It can be inferred from the text that: " _______".‎ A. He laughs best who laughs last        B. It's never too old to learn C. Two heads are better than one         D. One good turn deserves another ‎ ‎ C ‎(NEW YORK) A French tourist highly praised for rescuing a two-year-old girl in Manhattan said he didn’t think twice before diving into the freezing East River.‎ ‎   Tuesday’s Daily News said 29-year-old Julien Duret from France was the man who left the spot quickly after the rescue last Saturday.‎ ‎   He lifted the little girl out of the water after she fell off the bank at the South Street Seaport ‎ museum. He handed the girl to her father, David Anderson, who had dived in after him.‎ ‎   “I didn’t think at all,” Duret told the Daily News. “It happened very fast. I reacted very fast.”‎ ‎   Duret, an engineer on vacation, was walking with his girlfriend along the pier(码头) when he saw something falling into the water. He thought it was a doll, but realized it was a child when he approached the river. Immediately, he took off his coat and jumped into the water.‎ ‎   When he reached the girl, she appeared lifeless, he said. Fortunately, when she was out of the water, she opened her eyes.‎ ‎   Anderson said his daughter slipped off the bank when he was adjusting his camera. An ambulance came later for her, said Duret, who was handed dry clothes from onlookers. Duret caught a taxi with his girlfriend shortly after.‎ ‎   The rescue happened on the day before he left for France. Duret said he didn’t realize his story of heroism had greatly moved New York until he was leaving the city the next morning.‎ ‎   “I don’t really think I’m a hero,” said Duret. “Anyone would do the same thing.”‎ ‎39．Why was Duret in New York? ‎ ‎    A. To meet his girlfriend.             B. To spend his holiday.‎ ‎    C. To work as an engineer.              D. To visit the Andersons.‎ ‎40．What did Duret do shortly after the ambulance came?‎ ‎    A. He was interviewed by a newspaper.‎ ‎    B. He went to the hospital in the ambulance.‎ ‎    C. He disappeared from the spot quickly.‎ ‎    D.

Duret dived into the water before the girl’s father.‎ ‎    C. The rescue happened on the day Duret left for France.‎ ‎    D. Duret didn’t think he was brave enough to be a hero.‎ ‎42．What is probably the headline of this news report?‎ ‎    A. A Careless Father                  B. A Poor Girl ‎ ‎    C. Warm-hearted Onlookers            D. Brave Frenchman Found ‎ ‎ D Maybe it is true that we do not know what we have got until we lose it, but it is also true that we do not know what we have been missing until it arrives.‎ It takes an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Do not expect love in return; but if it does not, be content it has grown in yours. Do not rely on one’s appearance; it can trick you. Do not rely on wealth; even that fades away. Rely on someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.‎ There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them. Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.‎ The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past. You cannot go on well in life until you let your past failures and heartaches go off. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trails to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy. The happiest of people do not necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness waits for those who cry, those appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives. Always put yourself in others’ shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too.‎ When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life ‎ so that when you die, you are the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.‎ ‎43．In this passage, the writer wants to tell us ______.‎ A. what to do in our life              B. where to go with other persons C. how to treat our life               D. how to get on well with other persons ‎44．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?‎ A. If you give someone your love, you are sure to receive love in return.‎ B. We often don’t know what we have lost until it happens someday.‎ C. It is wise not to rely on anybody because you are likely to be cheated.‎ D. If it takes you a short time to love someone, you will easily forget the person.‎ ‎45．If you put yourself in another person’s position, ______.‎ A. you shouldn’t do what will hurt other people B. you should put on other people’s shoes C. you should believe in other people D. you should depend on your imagination ‎46．In the last paragraph the writer is actually telling us that a person in the world should be one who ______.‎ A. can accept the suggestions made by others B. can live happily and forget the past C. does good to other people and is respected and loved by them D. has made a lot of money for himself before he dies ‎ ‎ 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。‎ Public Speaking Training Get a coach ‎ 31 ，so get help. Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses, here are some things to look for when deciding the training that’s right for you.‎ Focus on positives Any training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well. Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren’t doing well. 32 , so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn’t do.‎ ‎ 33 ‎ If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it’s going to give you lots of dos and don’ts, walk away! Your brain is so full of what you’re going to be talking about. 34 . As far as we’re concerned, there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking. Your audience can be your friends.‎ You are a special person not a clone Most importantly, good public speaking training should treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits. 35 . Your training course should help you bring out your personality, not try to turn you into someone you’re not.‎ A. You aren’t like anybody else B. You already do lots of things well C. Turn your back on too many rules D. Practise speaking whenever possible E. Whatever the presentation, public speaking is tough F .The one thing you don’t want is for them to fall asleep G. So trying to force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worse ‎                                        ‎ 第II卷（非选择题，共45分）‎ 第三部分：语言知识运用 第一节 完形填空（20小题，共30分）‎ ‎ 阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项中（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。‎ ‎    The Christmas gift when I was seven years old has been a pleasant memory.  11 other gifts, it came without wrap（包装）.      On September 11th that year, Mum gave  12  to Richard.

Water, electricity, paper and food are habitually wasted among many students, which, worse still, some of them consider acceptable. ‎ ‎   If every student wastes a gram of rice and throws away a piece of paper every day, the total waste would be beyond our imagination. We all know that resources are running out. Even small resources, when used well, can help meet needs and aid development.‎ ‎   However, it’s easier said than done. Sometimes I myself waste money buying too much food. And there’re times I forget to turn off the lights before leaving the classroom. To change it, first, I’ll strengthen my responsibility to save resources, making the most of water, electricity and paper. Second, I’ll learn to save money, trying to be an economist. （124words）‎
