So now, we feel it is 42 to share it with you. In opening our
hearts, we hope this might promote greater 43 of this condition. Perhaps it will
encourage a clearer understanding of the individuals and families who are 44 by it.

confident that with your help she will 51 it with faith and courage.

people for giving me the great honor of 52 me to serve as your President. When
the Lord calls me home, 53 that may be, I will leave with the
greatest love for this country of ours and endless optimism (樂觀) for its future.
I now begin this 54 that will lead me into the sunset of my life.
I know that for America there will always be a bright 55 ahead.
Thank you my friends. May God always

第三部分:閱讀理解(共15小題;每小題2分,滿分30分)
請認(rèn)真閱讀下列短文,從短文后各題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中,選出最佳選項,并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
A
Many people have tried to simplify the spelling of English word.
Unlike other languages, English spells the same sounds in very different ways.
For example, there is ‘light’ but ‘white’, ‘loan’ but ‘phone’, and there are at
least seven different ways of pronouncing the sound ‘ough’! Each of the
following words is pronounced differently: ‘though’, ‘through’, ‘bough’,
‘cough’, ‘enough’, ‘ought’, and ‘thorough’.
The great Irish writer, George Bernard Shaw, was very interested in
making English spelling more logical. The American president Theodore Roosevelt
almost succeeded in doing this.
In 1906 one of the richest men in America, Andrew Carnegie, started
the Simplified Spelling Board. This Board was a group of people whose plan was
to make the spelling of words nearer to the way they sounded. For example, the
word ‘though’ would be spelt ‘tho’, ‘through’ would became ‘thru’ (which it
did, but much later), ‘enough’ would become ‘enuf’, and so on. Other people on
the Board were Melvin Dewey, the head of the New York libraries, and Professor
Brander Matthews of Columbia University.
They took the idea to President Roosevelt who thought it was a very
good one. He immediately told the government printer to use the simplified
spelling on all government letters.
But people do not like change ? even change that makes life easier ?
and many people disliked the new, simpler spelling. The British ? who probably
thought they owned the English language ? were particularly angry.
More importantly, when American politicians discussed the plan, they
did not like it. Because Roosevelt did not want to have a problem with the
politicians, he changed his plans and told the printer to go back to the old
way of spelling.
Since then no one in any government has dared to try to simplify
English spelling. However, people do simplify many words, mainly in
advertisements. We often see ‘tonite’ instead of ‘tonight’, for example, and
‘thru’ instead of ‘through’.
56. The passage is about ________.
A.
President Roosevelt.
B. people who tried to simplify English
spelling
C. the way that advertisements simplify
English spelling
D. how to pronounce English properly
57. People wanted to simplify the spelling of English so that
________.
A.
words could have several different pronunciations
B.
words could be spelt as they were pronounced
C.
it was more difficult to read government letters
D.
they could establish the Simplified Spelling Board
58. Simplified spelling failed because ________.
A.
it was not easy to understand
B.
the government didn’t like the idea
C.
there were too many new words to learn
D.
people did not want to change
B
Iceland has the highest birth rate in
Europe, the highest divorce rate, and the highest percentage of women working
outside the home. Such statistics are often evidence of a miserable, chaotic
society, with loads of children, broken homes and absent mothers. But Iceland
is the exception ? its citizens are apparently the happiest in the world.
New rankings from the
United Nations Development Program's Human Development Index rate Iceland as
the best country in the world in which to live.
Perhaps the country's
geographic location contributes to Icelanders' happiness. Located in the middle
of the North Atlantic, with Greenland as its nearest neighbor, Iceland is free
from the taboos that cause so much distress elsewhere. For instance, people who
divorce are not looked down upon by society.
Icelanders are
offspring (后代) of
the Vikings, a north European people who invaded European coasts from the 8th
through the 10th century. This tradition of getting out into the world lives on
in modern-day Iceland. Practically all Icelanders have studied or worked
abroad, and most speak English.
Perhaps as a result,
Iceland's economic policies blend the best of those from Europe and the
US to create its own welfare system.
"Many of us have
lived in the US, and studied there," said the Icelandic Prime Minister
Geir Haarde. "We have both taken from them and found that naturally we
share the can-do attitude ? that if you work hard, anything can be done."
Indeed, the country is
rich in writers, painters, film makers and accomplished musicians. There's
Sigur Ros, a post-rock band, and also a national symphony orchestra that plays
to the highest standards all over the world. Half the population appears to
have written a book.
"Iceland has harsh(惡劣) nature, with its bitter
ever-changing weather,” said Haraldur Jonsson, a painter, sculptor and video
and performance artist. “We cannot escape it. So we find ways________. We have
to have a rich internal life to fill the empty spaces."
59. It is commonly believed that high birth rate and divorce rate will bring
about ________.
A.
social problems B.
happiness
C.
a unique welfare system D.
modern way of life
60. What does the underlined word “blend” in the fifth paragraph
mean?
A.
Combine. B.
Choose. C.
Copy. D.
Carry.
61. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the reason for
Icelanders’ happiness?
A.
Geographic location. B.
A rich internal life.
C.
National pride. D.
Freedom from taboos.
62. What is the most
suitable to fill in the blank in the last paragraph?
A.
to get rid of it B.
to have it changed
C.
to get away from it D.
to live with it
C
How
can you create a great science fair project? You can start by asking yourself
some questions.
What is interesting to me?
You can connect almost any topic to science. Your topic could be
plants, worms, dogs, the sky, or something else. If you cannot think of a
topic, search books or the Internet for ideas. Seek help from your teacher or a
librarian. Your parents may have some good thoughts too.
What question do I have about this topic?
A great science project always includes an experiment. Make sure
that your question can be answered through an experiment. Here are some
examples of questions: Does the amount of light have an effect on how fast
plants grow? How much salt is in different kinds of cookies sold sat the store?
Why does the sky change color at different times of the day?
How much time do I have before the science fair?
A science fair to be held in two weeks will not give you time for
some experiments, such as growing plaints. carefully plan your project so that
you allow enough time to perform your experiment accurately.
What do I think is the answer to my question?
Why do I think this? The answer you choose is your hypothesis. You
will prove it right or wrong by performing an experiment. If you were to think
about the sky question, your hypothesis might be that the color of the sky is
related to the position of the sun.
How can I prove my hypothesis?
This is where the experiment comes in. You have to test your
hypothesis. If you wanted to find out how light affects plant growth, you could
plant seeds in a number of containers. Then you could expose the plants to
different amounts of light and compare the growth rates.
How can I present my results?
You might display your question and hypothesis on poster boards. You
might then add pictures and graphs. A great science project also states a
conclusion. A conclusion of the plant experiment might be The plants that
got the most light grew the fastest.
When you have finished your project, you may have more questions. A
great science project makes you want to learn even more.
63. A great science project always includes ________.
A.
plants in pots B.
an experiment C.
results
D. poster boards
64. A hypothesis is a(n) ________.
A.
question B.
performance C.
idea D.
proof

A.
all science projects take about the same amount of time
B.
a science project involves several steps
C.
a science project should start with a conclusion
D.
a science project raises many questions
66. To find out whether cold water freezes faster than hot water,

think of an experiment to give an answer
B.
state your conclusion to convince other people
C.
make a chart to explain your steps
D.

How the years have rushed by! It has been
a long time since I knew Marget Swenson. I was a child when I knew her, and now
I myself have children. The mind loses many things as it matures, but I never
lost Marget ― my first love and first hurt.
I met Marget Swenson when she joined our
sixth-grade class.
Marget, just fresh from Sweden, and I, a
sixth-generation American. She spoke very little English, but somehow we did
manage to understand each other. We took to each other at the first instant.
Marget lived up on the hill. That was the
place where there were many large and pretty houses. I suppose it was only in
passing that I knew only white people lived there.
We had so much fun together. We sat for
hours in my garden or hers, surrounded by grass. Her words were Swedish; mine,
English. We laughed at the way each of us slid our tongues over the unfamiliar
words, I learned the Swedish words of “hello”, “friend”, and “goodbye”.
However, such fun did not last long, and
the disaster began at Marget’s birthday party.
It was a Wednesday. I arrived at the
party early. Marget and I whizzed around(忙碌著), putting the finishing touches on the
decorations.
Some fifteen minutes later the doorbell
rang, and in came Mary, another girl in our class.
But after that nobody came. No one.
When it got to be after five, Mrs Swenson
called Marget inside. She was there for a long time, and when she came out, she
looked very, very sad. “my mother does not think they are coming,” she said.
“Why not?” Mary blurted(突口而出).
Marget gave a quick glance at me, but she
didn’t say anything.
I took Marget’s hand. “It’s me, isn’t
it?” I said. Oh! I remember so painfully today how much I wanted her quick and
positive “No!” to my question. But I was only aware of Marget trying to slip
her hand from mine. I opened my hand and let her go.
It was different between us after her
birthday. Marget stopped coming to my house, and when I asked her when she
would, she looked as though she would cry.
One day, uninvited, I went to her house,
climbed up the hill, and a restless thing grew within me at every step, almost a
knowing.
Marget almost jumped when she opened the
door. She stared at me in shock. Then, quickly, in a voice I’d never heard
before, she said, “My mother says you can’t come to my house any more.”
I opened my mouth, and closed it without
speaking. The awful thing had come; the knowing was confirmed. The awful thing
had come because Marget was white I was not. I did know it deep within myself.
Since that meeting Marget and I did not
speak to each other at all.
On the last day of school, screwing up a
courage, I handed my autograph book to Marget. She hesitated, then without
looking up, wrote words I don’t remember now; they were quite common words, the
kind everyone was writing in everyone else’s book. I waited. Slowly, she passed
her book to me and in it I wrote with a slow, firm hand some of the words she
had taught me. I wrote Adjo min van ― Goodbye, my friend.
I released her, let her go, told her not to worry, told her that I no longer
needed her. Adjo.
67. What can be the best title of the passage?
A.
My best friend. B.
My first hurt. C.
Black and white. D.
Adjo.
68. By saying “…but I never lost Marget…”, the author means
“________”.
A.
I got in touch with her later. B.
We are still friends.
C.
I remember her forever D.
I met her after many years
69. What does the underlined word “a knowing” refer to?
A.
Marget was white while I was not.
B.
Marget refused to let me into her house.
C.
Marget’s mother didn’t like me.
D.
Marget and I did not speak to each other at all.
70. According to the passage, ________ put an end to their once dear
friendship.
A.
some outside force B.
Marget
C.
Marget’s mother D.
different personalities

Literature is a term used to describe written as well as spoken
material. Generally speaking, it is often used to describe anything from
creative imagination, including works of poetry, drama and fiction.
Then why read literature, since it is often imaginary and seems
unconnected with real life?
A lot of us read literature for pleasure and relaxation. It’s always
pleasant to read some interesting books, such as comedies and novels, in our
spare time. In a modern life full of pressure, it is our common desire to read
some imaginary works and seek relaxation from the stress in life.
Reading literature is more than fun; it also enables us to acquire
knowledge. As a general rule, literature represents a language or a people, and
it often gives us an insight(洞察力)into the traditions, customs, beliefs, attitudes and values of the
age in which it was written.
Sometimes literature can even offer us new, creative ways to have a
better understanding of the world. It helps us make sense of the world around
us. It introduces us to new worlds of experiences. We enjoy the comedy and the
tragedy of poems, stories and plays; and we may even grow through our literary
journey with books. Eventually, we may discover meaning in literature by
looking at what the author says and how he/she says it. In a sense, we explore
the human condition and analyze how and why people think the way they think and
feel the way they feel. Literature enables us to think analytically and
promotes open minds. We see the world through the eyes of different cultures
and in turn learn the ways to deal with things that happen around.
So we can definitely say literature is of great importance to us.
Why not get going with one poem, drama or fiction at once?
