A

A teenager and his family have been praised as heroes after rescuing five children from a fire. Mathew Robinson, 18, his mother and his father rushed to help when a neighbor’s home went up in flames. Jackie Robinson, 40, climbed a ladder to pull 12-year-old Tamara Barlow and her 16-month-old brother from their first-floor bedroom. Mathew went up the ladder and into the smoke-filled room to save two more children after their 16-year-old sister Charlotte climbed down. Last night, fire fighters said one or more of the children would almost certainly have died had it not been for the Robinsons. However, Matthew denied they were heroes. He said, “Anyone would have done the same thing. I was in the right place at the right time.”

The fire at the home in Dorset, began around 9:30 p.m. On Sunday night. The Robinsons heard the children’s mother screaming “Get them out”. Matthew rushed 实用文档

through the front door, but was beaten back by flames. After his parents helped three of the children down the ladder, he climbed into the bedroom to get the others.

“Being in the room full of smoke, it was impossible to see anything. I had to feel my way round the room, trying to find the two kids and get them to make some noise, so I could find out where they were,” he said. “The boys were in a pretty bad state, and almost passed out. They were unable to say anything.”

Steve Isaac, station manager at Weymouth munity Fire Station, said, “There was some very, very quick thinking on the part of Matthew and his father Jackie. They showed great bravery and helped save some lives. Normally we would never encourage people to go into a burning building but, on this occasion, it all worked out well.”

21. How many children did Matthew’s father save?

A. Two. B. Three. C. Four.

22. What made the Robinsons aware of the fire?

They have no brains and no spines (脊椎). You can often see right through them. 实用文档

But they can cause painful, sometimes deadly stings (刺伤). Some can even glow in the dark! Scientists know them as medusas, but most people call them jellyfish. Jellyfish are not really fish. Jellyfish have stomachs and mouths, but no heads. They have nervous systems for sensing the world around them. They are made almost entirely of water, which is why you can look through them. Most jellyfish live in salt water, apart from a few types that live in fresh water. Jellyfish are found in oceans and seas all over the world. They live in warm, tropical seas and in ice waters near the North and South Poles.

Adult jellyfish are shaped like an open umbrella or a bell. A Jellyfish has tentacles (触须) at the edges of its body. At the center of a jellyfish’s body, where it is widest, is the mouth. The ends of the tentacles have sting cells on them, which jellyfish use to catch their prey (猎物). Some jellyfish have powerful stings that can kill people.

Most jellyfish eat fish, tiny creatures and even other jellyfish. Once a jellyfish stings and catches its prey, it takes the prey to its mouth and swallows it.

Some jellyfish are very small, no longer than a marble (弹子). Others are quite large. The largest jellyfish can grow to about 7 feet (about 2 meters) across and weight hundreds of pounds! Jellyfish may be blue, orange, pink, yellow, purple, and other colors.

Some jellyfish can glow in the dark by making their own light. The light is 实用文档

made by a chemical reaction inside the jellyfish. Scientists believe jellyfish glow for several reasons. For example, they may glow to attract animals they prey on.

24. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. What jellyfish live on. C. How jellyfish move.

B. What jellyfish look like. D. What jellyfish are.

25. What is in the center of a jellyfish’s body? A. Its brain.

B. Its mouth. D. Its stomach.

C. Its nervous system.

26. How does a jellyfish catch and eat its prey?

C. It stings the prey with its tentacles and then swallows it directly. D. It tears the prey into small pieces and sends it into its mouth to swallow it. 27. What can we learn from the text? A. Some jellyfish can make a person die. B. Most jellyfish live in fresh water.

C. Most jellyfish can be planted in the ocean. D. Jellyfish only have five colors.

Science can’t explain the power of pets, but many studies have shown that the pany of pets can help lower blood pressure (血压) and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack, reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer. Any owner will tell you how much joy a pet brings. For some, an animal provides more fort than a husband/wife. A xx study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress (紧张) levels and blood pressure in people — half of them pet owners — while they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic (算术) or held a hand in ice water. Subjects pleted the tasks alone, with a husband/wife, a close friend or with a pet. People with pets did it best. Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates. With pets in the room, people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other panions. It seems people feel more relaxed (放松)around pets, says Allen, who thinks it may be because pets don’t judge.

A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits. Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36 fat people and their equally fat dogs on diet-and-exercise programs; a separate group of 56 people without pets were put on a diet program. On average, people lost about 11 pounds, or 5% of their body weight. Their dogs did even better, losing an average of 12 pounds, more than 15% of their body weight. Dog owners didn’t lose any more weight 实用文档

than those without dogs but, say researchers, got more exercise overall — mostly with their dogs — and found it worth doing. 28. What does the text mainly discuss? A. What pets bring to their owners. B. How pets help people calm down. C. People’s opinions of keeping pets. D. Pet’s value in medical research.

29. We learn from the text that a person with heart disease has a better chance of getting well if ______. A. he has a pet panion B. he has less stress of work C. he often does mental arithmetic D. he is taken care of by his family

30. According to Allen, why did the people do better with pets around when pleting stressful tasks?

A. They have lower blood pressure. B. They bee more patient. C. They are less nervous. D. They are in higher spirits.

31. The research mentioned in the last paragraph reports that ______. A. people with dogs did more exercise 实用文档

B. dogs lost the same weight as people did C. dogs liked exercise much more than people did D. people without dogs found the program unhelpful

D

Every year in America, high-school students who want to go on to college take a national examination called the Scholastic Aptitude Test, or SAT in a shortened way. Their score is an important factor in determining which colleges will admit them. The Scholastic Aptitude Test measures one’s mathematical ability and use of the English language. Traditionally, the English part involved grammatical questions and paragraphs that test reading prehension.

But the SAT folks have added a single question to be answered in an essay, handwritten on the spot. That’s an interesting way to test writing ability, but content aside, have you ever seen young people’s handwriting lately? Or anyone’s for that matter, in this age of puter keyboards? Students write numbers and sign their names on bank checks. They scribble class notes in what can generously be described as the written word.

Yet today’s kids are asked to write, thoughtfully and clearly, for several minutes on this SAT Test. Good luck to the text scorers who must work out difficultly the scrawl(潦草的笔迹) of young people who’ve been typing on puters since the age of three! Teachers insist that good handwriting can not only help one’s score on the SAT, but also, later on in life, impress potential employers. 实用文档

And don’t forget, we all have to use handwriting from time to time, as puters go down when the power goes out.

Then how to improve the handwriting? Well, with a few simple steps you can improve your handwriting.

Position the pen, you should hold the pen between the forefinger and the thumb. You should then rest it near the first knuckle(指节) of the middle finger. The rest of your fingers should be curled(卷曲)under your hand and your hand should remain relaxed.

Evaluate your writing. What do you like and what you don’t like about the way you write? Make changes to your letters till you like how they look.

Take your time. Make sure that, while you are writing, you take your time. Speed is sure to make your writing messy-looking. If it is worth writing well, then take your time.

Practice. Practice it a lot; it’s not enough to do it once and hope for the best. It has to be something you work at to make great improvements. 32. The SAT tests students on _____. A. math, English, reading and writing. B. math, grammar, reading and handwriting. C. math, foreign languages and writing. D. math, foreign languages and handwriting.

33. According to the text, good handwriting can_____. 实用文档

A. help students pass the test. C. show students’ ability.

B. make a student more popular.

D. assist students in getting a job.

34. Which of the following should you avoid when improving your handwriting? A. Practicing writing a lot. B. Writing as fast as you can.

C. relaxing your hand when holding the pen.

D. changing your letters till you like how they look. 35. The text is to present the fact that _____. A. writing seems to be very important in the SAT B. those who will go to college have to take the SAT C. students should practice handwriting more often D. kids don’t know how to write in the puter age 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。

Why is setting goals important? 36 Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen.

Successful people imagine how their life should be and set lots of goals. 37 It's like having a map to show you where you want to go. Think of it this way. There are two drivers. One has a destination in mind which can be found on a map. She can drive straight there surely without any wasted time of wrong turns. The 实用文档

other driver has no goal, or destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, but she drives aimlessly around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas. Which driver do you want to be?

38 They decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Unsuccessful people usually just let life happen by accident. Goals aren't difficult to set and they aren't difficult to reach. 39 You are the one who must decide what to achieve and in what direction to aim your life. 40 Written goals can be reviewed regularly, and have more power. Like a contract with yourself, they are harder to neglect or forget. Also when you write your goals in a particular way, you are able to make yourself continuously aware of situations that will bring you nearer to your goal. A. Winners in life set goals and follow them through.

B. Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to achieve it.

C. It's up to you to find out what your goals really are.

D. It's difficult for a driver to reach his destination without a map. E. By setting goals you are taking control of your life.

F. Because goals can help you do, be, and experience everything you want in life. G. Because everybody should have a goal in his mind. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节， 满分45分）

Love is a hot topic, but what is love? Here is a story.

It took me a long time before I was able to fully understand my grandparents’ love. They wrote the word “shmily” down and 41 it in a surprise place for the other to find. They took 42 leaving \"shmily\" around the house—in shoes, under pillow, even in toilet paper. 43 one of them discovered it, it was the other’s turn to hide it once more. Their way of life, rather than only a game, 44 their love, which not everyone is 45 enough to experience. They 46 hands every chance they had, finished each other’s sentences and went to 47 together.

But things are always not that perfect. There was a dark 48 in their life: my grandmother had breast cancer. The disease was first 49 ten years earlier. As usual, Grandpa was with her every 50 of the way. He forted her in their yellow room, painted that way so that she could always be surrounded by 51 , even when she was too sick to go outside.

Later she got even worse, but they 52 went to church every morning. My grandmother grew steadily 53 until, finally, she could not leave the house anymore. For a while, Grandpa would go to church alone, praying to God to his wife out. However, the day, what we all dreaded finally happened. Grandma was 55 . 实用文档

As the crowd thinned and the last mourners(追悼者) 57 to leave, my aunts, uncles, cousins and other family members came forward and gathered around Grandma. Grandpa stepped up, taking a shaky 58 , he began to sing to her. Through his tears and 59 , the song came, deep and slow.

第三节 书面表达(One possible version) :

One possible version:

Should students make friends on line? Some people say yes .The Internet helps make many friends. Chatting on line，students can more freely express their feelings and opinions，and even get help with their foreign language studies.

Others，however，think students should not. They say making friends on line is a waste of time，which should be spent more meaningfully on study. Besides，some students get cheated on line.

It is my opinion that students should place their study，health and safety before other things. As for friendship，we can readily find it in our classmates and other people around us.

W: Oh, I mostly just have a quick hamburger and rush back to the office. We're very busy at the moment.

M: Well, I don't think it's a serious thing. Maybe you eat too quickly. It's bad for your health.
