I took my seat and decided to  37 the time watching people around me.‎ A young man beside me was turning over the 38 of a magazine quickly and nervously. It was 39 to understand what he was looking at for every three minutes of so he would 40 the magazine on to the table, seize another, and sink back into his chair. Opposite me there was a little boy who had clearly grown tired of 41 . He had placed an ashtray on the floor and was making plane-noises as he waved a pencil in his hand. At the same time the 42 man next to me kept sighing loudly. At last, he got up, walked towards the door and began 43 the pictures on the wall. Soon growing uninterested, he snatched one more magazine and dropped tiredly into a chair. Even ‎ the boy had become quiet and was sleeping in her mother’s arms.‎ There was a complete ‎44 in the room as the door opened and a nurse 45 .The people looked up with a ray of ‎46 in their eyes, then settled down again as the next 47 patient was led out of the room.‎ ‎36、A. notice B. pictures C. maps D. holes ‎37、A. cost B. take C. pass D. use ‎38、A. stories B. articles C. books D. pages ‎39、A. easy B. possible C. useless D. hard ‎40、A. throw B. take C. drag D. push ‎41、A. sleeping B. waiting ‎ C. reading D. playing ‎42、A. old B. kind C. young D. handsome ‎43、A. drawing ‎ B. taking down C. examining D. putting up ‎44、A. loneliness B. hopelessness C. tiredness D. silence ‎45、A. entered B. turned out C. left D. came out ‎46、A. success B. satisfaction C. joy D. hope ‎47、A. unlucky B. tired C. lucky D. happy B Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting.

As a photographer, my life is measured from one story to the next. My oldest son was born in the middle of a long story about the Endangered Species Act. My daughter came along with a pack of gray wolves. ‎ Twenty stories later, though, it’s the story in Alaska that I’ll remember best. It was the story about the loss of wilderness — and the story during which my wife ‎ Kathy got cancer. That’s the one that made time stand still. I stopped taking pictures on the day when she found that tumor (肿瘤). Cruelly, it was Thanksgiving. By Christmas, she had become very weak. Some days she was so sick she couldn’t watch TV. ‎ Early examination saves time. But ours was not early. By the time you can feel it yourself, it’s often bigger than the doctor want it to be.‎ Cancer is a thief. It steals time. Our days are already short with worry. Then comes this terrible disease, unfair as storm at harvest time. But cancer also has the power to change us, for good. We learn to simplify, enjoying what we have instead of feeling sorry for what we don’t. Cancer even made me a better father. My work had made me a stranger to my three kids. But now I pay attention to what really matters. This is not a race. This is a new way of life and new way of seeing, all from the cancer.‎ In the end each of us has so little time. We have less of it than we can possibly imagine. And even though it turns out that Kathy’s cancer has not spread, and her prognosis (诊断) is good, we try to make it all count now, enjoying every part of every day.‎ I’ve picked up my camera again. I watch the sky, searching for beautiful light. When winter storms come, Kathy and I gather our children and take the time to catch snowflakes (雪花) on our tongues. After all, this is good. This is what we’re living for.‎ ‎58. What is the biggest change the cancer has brought to the author?‎ A. He treasured every bit of time with his family.‎ B. He has become a stranger to his children.‎ C. He takes his work more seriously.‎ D. He focuses more on medical care.‎ ‎59. The author and his family catch snowflakes on their tongues probably because ______.‎ A. the snowflakes taste very good B. snowflakes are what they feed on C. they regard that as a way to enjoy life D. there is beautiful light in the snowflakes ‎ ‎ B Tired of all the pushing in supermarkets? Fed up with waiting in endless lines to pay for what you have bought? Angry at wasting time in traffic jams only to find no parking spaces when you eventually arrive at the store? If this is you, then online shopping is the answer to your dreams of trouble-free shopping. Or is it?‎ Online shopping brings its own challenges. Here are a few things to bear in mind when browsing (浏览) various websites. The claim made by online sites is that shopping online is a safe and secure way to make purchases. The evidence challenges this. In any case, you only have to be the victim of fraud (诈骗) once to experience all the problems that come with this form of stealing. Use only sites that have a trusted history and an excellent reputation.‎ Another problem is the appearance of items in reality is often quite different from what you see on your computer screen. This might not be a problem if you are buying washing up powder but could be a major disappointment when that beautiful blue dress you ordered turns up in green. Also, product descriptions are sometimes simply untrue. Perhaps the wisest plan is to purchase items where design and color are not essential to customer satisfaction.‎ Some even argue that online shopping indirectly contributes to global warming. Yes, your car can stay parked but how are online goods delivered? Often by some large vans pouring out carbon monoxide and adding to our already desperate traffic problems. You are also by now becoming increasingly irritated (使烦恼) by the fact that the delivery is late and you have wasted the leave from work you have taken to receive it!‎ Without question, online shopping is here to stay and it has its benefits. However, perhaps it is not as wonderful as some of its supporters claim it to be.‎ ‎60. The author lists several questions in Para. 1 to .‎ A. support online shopping B. collect answers from readers C. show his dislike of going shopping D. introduce the topic of the passage ‎61. By what can online shoppers avoid fraud?‎ A. Using only trusted websites. B. Choosing big websites.‎ C. Collecting shopping evidence. D. Seeking advice from the police.‎ C IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU Many people think there is no need to take special care over home security. “I’m ‎ all right, I’m insured (保险).”‎ Maybe—if you’re fully insured. Even then you can never recover the real value you place on your possessions. But you can’t insure against the upset and unhappiness thatwe all feel if our homes are torn apart by some stranger, our windows and doors broken, our precious possessions ruined.“It won’t happen to me，won’t it?" A home is broken into every minute or so of the day. The thefts of all kinds, including cars and property stolen from cars, happen twice as frequently. “I’ve nothing worth stealing”‎ You may think not. But in fact everyone has something worth a thief’s attention. ‎ And we all have things of special value to us even if they’re worth little or nothing in cash terms.“I’m just a tenant (房客) here”‎ The thief doesn’t care whether you’re a tenant or an owner-occupier. You’re just as likely to be robbed. Have a word with the owner of the house if you think extra locks and fastenings are necessary. “They’ll get in anyway” Most thieves are on the lookout for easy jobs. They are soon discouraged by houses they can’t get into in any quick and easy way. So it’s worth taking care. “This booklet will help you”‎ It’s based on the practical experience of police forces throughout the country.‎ ‎ Most of the suggestions will cost you only a few minutes extra time and thought. ‎ A few may involve some expense, but this is small compared with the loss and unhappiness you might otherwise suffer.‎ If you are in doubt, ask for free advice from the Crillle Prevention Officer at your local police station.‎ ‎64. Why do you still need to protect your possessions when you’ve already insured them?‎ A. You tend to undervalue your possessions.‎ B. You cannot insure against damage to property.‎ C. A robbery can affect your moods at home.‎ D. It takes a long time to recover your belongings.‎ ‎65. What should a tenant do if he is worried about the security of his home?‎ A. Fix new locks on all the doors. B. Discuss the matter with the owner.‎ C. Check it up with the police. D. Keep careful watch of the house.‎ ‎66. The advertisement says that most thieves ______.‎ A. prefer stealing from offices B. like causing a lot of damage C. break into any places they desire D. get prevented by perfect guard equipment ‎67. This advertisement aims to influence people who ______.‎ A. have little sense of security B. are not properly insured C. are worried about home security D. have their houses broken into ‎ D In the second half of each year, many powerful storms are born in the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean seas. Of these, only about a half a dozen generate the strong, circling winds of 75 miles per hour or more that give them hurricane status, and ‎ several usually make their way to the coast. There they cause millions of dollars of damage, and bring death to large numbers of people.‎ The great storms that hit the coast start as innocent circling disturbances (气旋) hundreds — even thousands — of miles out to sea. As they travel aimlessly over water warmed by the summer sun, they are carried westward by the trade winds. When conditions are just right, warm, moist (潮湿的) air flows in at the bottom of such a disturbance, moves upward through it and comes out at the top. In the process, the moisture in this warm air produces rain, and with it the heat that is switched to energy in the form of strong winds. As the heat increases, the young hurricane begins to turn around in a counter-clockwise motion (反时针方向).‎ The average life of a hurricane is only about nine days, but it contains almost more power than we can imagine. The energy in the heat released (释放) by a hurricane’s rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the United States for more than six months.‎ Water, rather than wind, is the main source of death and destroying in a hurricane. A typical hurricane brings 6-to-12-inch downpours resulting in sudden floods. Worst of all is the powerful movement of the sea — the mountains of water moving toward the low-pressure hurricane center. The water level rises as much as 15 feet above normal as it moves toward shore.‎ ‎68. An ordinary tropical storm is called a hurricane when ______.‎ it occurs in the Caribbean seas B. its winds reach 75 miles per hour C. it makes its way to the coastline D. its winds begin to circle on the sea ‎69. What is the worst thing about hurricane?‎ A. The rough water. B. The violent winds.‎ C. The heat it gives out. D. The length of its life. ‎ E I am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval (准允), he learns to love himself and will be successful in his own way. Several weeks ago, I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines. I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he would concentrate better. He sat but seconds later, as if he didn’t even notice he was ‎ doing it, he got up again. I was getting frustrated (受挫), but then it hit me. I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate when he stood up. Could he be more absorbed while standing up?‎ This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success. This child would have the willpower to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life. ‎ ‎ Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality qualities, and all you can do is loving and accepting them. As parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids’ best cheerleaders, guiding them and helping them find their way.‎ I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Obviously, he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine. We need to learn to accept our kids’ ways of doing things. Some way may have worked for me but doesn’t mean we need to carry it through generations. There is nothing sweeter than being personal and unique (独特的). It makes us free and happy and that’s just the way I want my kids to live their own life. ‎ ‎72. Time and again the author got his son seated in order to make him ______.‎ A. work fast B. go polite C. stay relaxed D. keep attentive ‎73.

By this passage, the author attempts to tell other parents to ______.‎ A. correct their kids’ manners from the early ages B. respect and trust their kids’ ways of behaviors C. develop a good relationship with their children D. guarantee their children’s freedom at home ‎75. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage? ‎ A. Parental help with teens’ study B.Adult influence on teen growth C. Kids’ success in their own styles ‎ D.Friendship between generations 五 书面表达（共35分）‎ 请根据下面提示，写一篇短文。词数不少于60。‎ You are discussing the following picture with your English friend Jim.
