And each of us, if we live long enough, experiences the loss of persons we loved. Children ages eight through ten were asked what they thought about death,and these are some of their answers:        “When you die,God takes care of you like your mother did. When you were alive,only God doesn’t yell at you all the time.’’(Beth,9)         “When you die,they bury you in the ground and your soul goes to heaven,but your body can’t go to heaven because it’s too crowded there already.” (Jimmy, 8)          “Only the good people go to heaven. The other people go where it’s hot all the time like in Florida. ” (Judy,9)          “Doctors help you so you won’t die until you pay their bills.”(Stephanie,9)           I've observed that the loss of a loved one can be one of the most difficult things we humans can face. I’ve known friends of sick and dying people to sit by a bedside or in a hospital room for hours,even days, at a time. I've seen food in homes of people who are dying overflow from kitchen to dining room—food brought by comforting friends from church and con cerned neighbours. And I've observed friends just listen for as long as it ‎ takes.         When U.S. Congressman Sam Rayburn (1882—1961) discovered that he was ill,he announced to the House of Representatives he was going home to Texas for medical tests. Some wondered why he did not stay in Washington where there were excellent medical facilities. His answer was a beautiful tribute (颂词) to friendship:"Bonham is a place where people know it when you’re sick,and where they care when you die. ”        No one wants to go through difficult times alone. So Rayburn traded the best of medical technology for the closeness of loving friends. He knew that good friends are good medicine. Often the best. 25.According to the passage, the four children's answers show . A.they have the same idea on death B.they have different opinions on death C.they have experienced death D.they have the loss of their parents 26.What’s the opinion of the author on friendship? A.Caring friends is necessary in times of happiness. B.Caring friends is necessary in time of trouble. C.It’s easy for human to face the loss of a relative. D.Everyone needs to face the loss of a friend. 27.What was Sam Rayburn most concerned about when ill? A.The closeness of loving friends. B.The medical examination. C.The excellent medical facilities. D.The development of his home. 28.What’s the best title of the passage? A.Friendship Cannot Stand Always on One Side. B.A Friend Is Easier Lost Than Found. C.True Friendship Lasts Forever. D.Good Friends Are Good Medicine.‎ C You can’t always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That’s why he created Lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain-sensing umbrella.      The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy(伞蓬) built into a street lamp,” he said.      The Lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand Sensors(传感器) then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.      In addition to the rain sensor, there’s also a 360°motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone is using the Lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.      According to the designer, the Lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strike. Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed(安装) at 2 metres off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.      While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into production, Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and insists his creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter. 29.What do we know from Belyacv’s words in Paragraph 2? A.His creation was inspired by an experience. B.It rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg. C.Street lamps are protected by canopies. D.He enjoyed taking walks in the rain. 30.Which of the following show how the lampbrella ‎ works? A.motor→canopy→sensors B.sensors→motor→canopy C.motor→sensors→canopy D.canopy→motor→sensors 31.What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the lampbrella? A.Its moving speed. B.Its appearance. C.Its installation. D.Its safety. 32.What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A.The designer will open a company to promote his product. B.The lampbrella could be put into immediate production. C.The designer is confident that his creation is practical. D.The lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow.‎ D ‎ Generations of children grew up reading comic(漫画) books secretly, hiding out from parents and teachers who saw them as a waste of time and a risk to young minds. Comics are now gaining a new respectability at school. That is thanks to an increasingly popular and creative programme, often aimed at struggling readers, that encourages children to plot, write and draw comic books, in many cases using themes from their own lives.     The Comic Book Project was started in 2001 by Michael Bitz at an elementary school in Queens. Since its creation, the programme, which is mainly conducted after school, has spread to more than 850 schools across the country. It has gotten a big push from the craze(狂热) among adolescents for comic book clubs and for Manga, a widly popular variety of comic originating in Japan.     The point is not to drop a comic book on a child’s desk and say “read this”. Rather, the workshops give groups of students the opportunity to collaborate(合著) on often complex stories and charac-ters that they then revise, publish and share with others in their communities.     Teachers are finding it easier to teach writing, grammar and punctuation with material that students are fully invested in(投入). And it turns out that comic books have other built-in ‎ advantages. The pairing of visual and written plotlines that they rely on appear to be especially helpful to struggling readers. No one is suggesting that comic books should substitute for traditional books or for standard reading and composition lessons. Teachers who would once have dismissed comics out of hand are learning to exploit(利用) a style that clearly has a powerful hold on young minds. They are using what works. 33.Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage? A.Japanese Comic Books. B.Comic Books in the Classroom. C.Reading Efficiently. D.A Current Craze. 34.The main purpose of the Comic Book Project is to              . A.develop the cooperation among adolescents B.make sure that students live a rich and colourful life after school C.help students who have some difficulty in reading D.popularize a new method of teaching 35.It can be inferred that              . A.comic books were first used in Japaneseschools B.parents have different opinions about their children reading comic books C.more and more teachers will realize the advan-tages of comic books D.comic books will be allowed to enter all the schools in the country 第二节：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。（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ E ‎ Africa is a very diverse land with many different tribes. One tradition that many of these groups share is painting or marking their bodies and faces in color. They do this for many reasons. Some marks are used to identify people as part of a group. 36.          Let’s look at some different examples of body ‎ painting.   37.          Among the Masai of East Africa, when men are old enough to marry and make decisions for their people, they participate in a special ceremony in which they paint their heads and faces red. This ceremony takes place every seven to fourteen years, so there is not an exact age for participating in it. The Samburu, also from East Africa, like to paint their faces and hair red because they think it looks attractive.‎ ‎  38.          To show that he has killed a lion, a man will paint his body with a natural white material, making special marks to represent this accomplishment. The Masai men also use this white to show that they are no longer boys and are considered adults.     One quite unusual example of face painting is done by the Wodaabe people of West Africa. Once a year, they have a beauty contest for men.39.          Then they add white and black circles and lines. Black paint is used near the eyes and on the lips to draw attention to the whiteness of their eyes and teeth, which the Wodaabe consider most beautiful.40.        ‎ ‎   As you travel, enjoy the beautiful and bright colors of Africa. A.Red is the common color in body painting because it often represents health and long life. B.Other marks are used for ceremonies such as weddings and during times of war. C.The ceremony expresses hope for rain. D.The Masai men also have a unique way of showing that they are brave. E.The women then decide which man they like best. F.The men pretend to fight each other. G.The men paint their faces yellow and red.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1．5分，满分30分)‎ 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从36—55各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ ‎  I was watching a TV series one night when I took in one scene.
