After a few minutes I became aware of a group of women standing behind me. They were poorly dressed and spoke in what sounded like an eastern European language. As they looked through the clothes rails a little girl, about three years old, came over to the toy section. Immediately her attention was caught by a toy pram（婴儿车）. What is it about little girls and toy prams? I dont know, but whatever it is, its incredibly cute! She spoke to her mother and, in halting English her mother asked the shop assistant how much it cost. Three pounds was the answerabout five dollars. The mum looked down at her child, perhaps calculating what she still had to buy and how much money she would have left. Then she simply shook her head. The child didnt react badly as some might. Being told “no” was obviously not a new experience for her. But she couldnt keep the disappointment from her face. I had the grand total of four pounds in my pocket, two two-pound coins. A moment later I tapped the mother on the shoulder, pointed to the coins which I had left in the pram and said, Buy her a dolly too. I didnt hang about to see the end result. After all, its not about being thanked. I made my way out of the shop and into the sunshine. The money was an investment in the happiness of the world. Was there any better way, I wondered, to get so much happiness for so little money than to buy a little girl a toy pram? And a dolly to sit in it!25.

The mother shook her head because _.A. she thought the toy wasnt worth the money.B. she found it difficult to calculate her money.C. she found she didnt take enough money with her.D. she thought the toy was not suitable for her daughter.27. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that _ .A. the girl usually behaved badly.B. the mother usually treated her daughter badly.C. the mother was not rich enough to meet her daughters need often.D. the little girl was often refused because she asked for too many toys.28. What words can be used to describe the author?A. Optimistic and energetic.B. Pleasant and gratefulC. Wealthy and healthy.D. Sympathetic and helpfulC When people hear a president speak, they seldom think about others helping to shape the presentation. Today, however, presidents depend on writers such as J. Terry Edmonds to help them communicate effectively. Edmonds is the first African American ever to work as a full-time speechwriter for a U.S. president; he is also the first African American to serve as director of speechwriting for the White House. His is an all-American story of success. Edmonds grew up in Baltimore, Maryland; his father drove a truck, and his mother worked as a waitress. A great reader, Edmonds showed a gift for writing at his high School, Baltimore City College. After graduating in 1967, Edmonds went on to Morgan State University. Edmonds began his career in business, with jobs in public relations and communications. He joined the world of politics as news secretary for his congressman (国会议员) from Baltimore. During Bill Clintons presidency, he wrote speeches for Health and Human Services Secretary Donna Shalala and worked in a number of jobs in the White House and in governmental departments. President Clinton then appointed him to the office of director of speechwriting, Following the 2000 elections, Edmonds returned to Morgan State University as the schools special assistant to the president for 2001-2002.29. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text? A. Edmonds proved himself to be good at writing at high school.B. Edmonds graduated from Morgan State University in 1967.C. Edmonds was the first full-time speechwriter.D. Edmonds served the White House after 2000.30. Edmonds entered the world of politics first as_. A. news secretary for a congressmanB. a speechwriter for President ClintonC. news secretary in the White House D. a speechwriter for Secretary Donna Shalala31. The text is most likely to be found in a book about _. A. popular scienceB. historical eventsC. successful peopleD. political systemsD My family and I lived across the street from Southway Park since I was four years old. Then just last year they city put a chain link fence around the park and started bulldozing (用推土机推平) the trees and grass to make way for a new apartment complex. When I saw the fence and bulldozers, I asked myself, Why dont they just leave it alone? Looking back, I think what sentenced the part to oblivion (别遗忘) was the drought we had about four years ago. Up until then, Southway Park was a nice green park with plenty of trees and a public swimming pool. My friends and I roller-skated on the sidewalks, climbed the tress, and swam in the pool all the years I was growing up. The park was almost like my own yard. Then the summer I was fifteen the drought came and things changed. There had been almost no rain at all that year. The city stopped watering the park grass. Within a few weeks I found myself living across the street from a huge brown desert. Leaves fell off the park tress, and pretty soon the trees started dying, too. Next, the park swimming pool was closed. The city cut down on the work force that kept the park, and pretty soon it just got too ugly and dirty to enjoy anymore. As the drought lasted into the fall, the park got worse every month. The rubbish piled up or blew across the brown grass. Soon the only people in the park were beggars and other people down on their luck. People said drugs were being sold or traded there now. The park had gotten scary, and my mother told us kids not to go there anymore. The drought finally ended and things seemed to get back to normal, that is, everything but the park. It had gotten into such bad shape that the city just let it stay that way. Then about six months ago I heard that the city was going to redevelop certain worn-out areas of the city. It turned out that the city had planned to get rid of the park, sell the land and let someone build rows of apartment buildings on it. The chain-link fencing and the bulldozers did their work. Now we live across the street from six rows of apartment buildings. Each of them is three units high and stretches a block in each direction. The neighborhood has changed without the park. The streets I used to play in are jammed with cars now. Things will never be the same again. Sometimes I wonder, though, what changes another drought would make in the way things are today.32. How did the writer feel when he saw the fence and bulldozers? A. Scared.B. Confused.C. Upset.D. Curious.33. Why was the writer told not to go to the park by his mother?A. It was being rebuilt.B. It was dangerous. C. It because crowded.D. It had turned into a desert.34. According to the writer, what eventually brought about the disappearance of the park?A. The drought.B. The crime. C. The beggars and the rubbish.D. The decisions of the city.35. The last sentence of the passage implies that if another drought came, _.A. the situation would be much worse B. people would have to desert their homes C. the city would be fully prepared in advanceD. the city would have to redevelop the neighborhood 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。For the rest of March, a disease will sweep across the US. It will keep kids home from school. 36 Employees will suddenly lose their ability to concentrate. The disease, known as “March Madness”, refers to the yearly 65-team US mens college basketball tournament(锦标赛). 37 Teams compete against each other in a single-elimination(单局淘汰) tournament that eventually crowns a national champion. Nearly 20 million Americans will find themselves prisoners of basketball festival madness. The fun comes partly from guessing the winners for every game. Friends compete against friends. 38 Colleagues against bosses. Big-name schools are usually favored to advance into the tournament. But each year there are dark horses from little-known universities. This adds to the madness. Watching a team from a school with 3,000 students beat a team from a school with 30,000, for many Americans, is an exciting experience. 39 Two years ago, the little-known George Mason University was one of the final teams.College basketball players are not paid, so the game is more about making a name for their university and themselves. 40 About $4 billion will be spent gambling on the event. According to Media Life magazine, the event will bring in $500 million in advertising income this year, topping the post-season income of every US professional league, including that of the NBA.A.Husbands against wives.B.The players will go all out for the games.C.But that doesnt mean money isnt involved.D.College students will ignore piles of homework.E.People are willing to spend more money on watching it.F.It begins on March 15 and lasts through the beginning of April.G.Many people had never even heard of the university before the tournament.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题：每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。On a warm Monday, Jenny Neilson bought a sandwich and parked her car under some trees.
