decided to kill and eat the cabin boy whose name was richard parker . some years later , in 1884 , the boat mignonette sank , and only four survivors were left in an open boat for many days . finally

married a lady named margherita . the restaurant owner opened his restaurant on the same day that king umberto i was crowned (加冕) king of italy .on july 29, 1900, king umberto i was informed that the restaurant owner had died that day in a shooting accident , and as he expressed his regret , someone in the crowd killed him !3.mark twain was a popular american author who wrote famous books such as

leaving again?” asked my daughter as she saw me packing my carry-on .more than her words , it was her face that pierced (刺穿) my heart -i could see how crestfallen she was , “ its only for two nights , “ i explained .but that didnt matter to her . it was just one more trip after barely being home for five days . i decided in that moment to travel less whenever possible and i managed to avoid flying altogether for most of the summer . as a result , it was a summer full of discoveries . i realized that my kids really were proud of me . in their time away from me they had learned lessons i couldnt have imagined . recently i began traveling a lot again . but this time it was different , mainly due to the fact that i had seen firsthand that my children value strong female role models . they realize that hard work pays off . being away from them even for a day at a time in many ways had done them a lot of good . in particular , being a working mom is teaching my daughter how important it is to be independent and that you can follow your dreams . in many ways , her idea of a professional woman is much more realistic than what i imagined when i was her age .i think that even at nine years old she already knows that for all the success you might achieve , there is a price to pay , whether its long hours , spending time away from those you love , or simply not having the energy to have fun at times . i know the wishes i would devote all of my time to her , but honestly , even if i didnt work i would rather she learned not to depend on me for everything , she needs to realize that she can fly on her own -and that isnt possible if i am hovering over her every single second of the day .i have also realized that having a career sets a good example for my son . he is not afraid of a strong woman , and has a great respect for them . when hes older , this will help him build healthier relationship . therefore , for all the working moms out there who work long hours , remember to value the positive lessons you might be teaching your kids .28.the underlined word “crestfallen” in paragraph 2 can best be replaced by “_” . a. upset b. excited c. lucky d. guilty 29.how did the author feel about traveling a lot after the summer ?a .she felt even worse than ever . b. she felt quite proud of herself . c. she felt very sorry for her kids . d. she felt much better than before . 30.the author hopes that her daughter will _.a. become more and more independent b .be realistic about all her problems c. become a very successful lady d. become an honest person 31.what is the authors main purpose in writing the text ?a. to tell stories about her two kids b. to show how to teach kids about careers .c. to encourage women to work as hard as possible .d. to prove kids can benefit a lot from working moms .dhippos(河马)have always attracted peoples interest . modern hippos in walt disney movies can dance lightly . a stone hippo in a 13-century church in france has wings . and in ancient egyptian fairy tales, the hippo was a goddess that guided the dead to the afterworld . despite their popular appeal , hippos , as well as other animals , have difficulty when their needs conflict with those of humans , the early egyptians liked to hunt hippos for their teeth and because they were dangerous animals. amulets (护身符) to protect babies from demons (恶魔) were made from hippo bones .about 4,000years ago , there were so many hippos in egypt that they caused serious crop damage , egyptian farmers killed them routinely , and by the beginning of the 19th century , all the hippos in africa had been killed , hippos were attractions in the arenas(角斗场) of ancient rome , where people went to see them fight . after the fall of the roman empire , hippos werent seen in europe again until a few zoos began to exhibit them in the mid 1800s.all the various uses and abuses of hippos through the centuries have made their population fall greatly . where they do occur , mostly in national parks , they live in such heavy concentrations that they make the grasslands bare . this causes other grass eating animals to go farther for food ,and hippos , which cant live far from water, destroy their own feeding grounds ., but in south africa there appears to be a solution that is working ,at least for now .by 1998 , an area outside kruger national park had four times as many hippos as the land could support . so animal control and conservation officers decided to relocate (重新安置) about three dozen hippos to game reserves, zoos , and private animal collections in south africa ,.what began as a desperate measure was later welcomed elsewhere . the rondevlei nature reserve in western south africa needed hippos to keep grasses from choking its wetlands and to open habitats for water birds . the project also provided an environmental lesson for the reserves education program for school children .the wildlife management program is a delicate undertaking . for a healthy future , hippos and other wildlife require safe places to live , as well as consistent management .32. in africa , hippos became extinct(灭亡)_.a. around the 1850s b. in the 13th century c. about 4,000years ago d. in the early 19th century33. apart from protecting crops , whats the main reason for people to kill hippos?a. to save other animals . b. to satisfy personal demands . c. to look for guidance after death. d. to follow the routine established by the egyptians .34. what problems do hippos cause ?a. they eat up the grass in their habitats , b. they always destroy other animals food . c. they stop other animals from drinking water . d. they grow too quickly for the land to support.35. what can we learn about the wildlife management program mentioned in the text?a. it has saved about 36 hippos by now . b. it was created by kruger national park .c. it has achieved a balance between nature and people . d. it was ignored by animal control and conservation officers .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。trust has been considered as the basis of any relationship , including friendship . no relationship can last long with a lack of trust . not many of your friends will have real faith in you as you would like to believe . 36 sometimes , it takes years , even a complete lifetime , to trust someone . however , how do we know if our friends have faith in us ? 37 with whom will you share things that you dont want everyone to know ? it would be with a close friend , whom you trust as much as you trust yourself . whom do you look up to for advice when you need it the most ?it has to be either your parents or your friends . _38_ this is a shining example of trust . you only seek advice from people you hold in high regard and find dependable . the friends who trust you will never forget to include you in the important decisions of their life . arguments and heated discussions are a part of every relationship , and this is also true for friendship . 39 while some people find it difficult to forgive and forget , your friends will never have problems moving on . it is because they trust you and believe that you will never cause any pain to them on purpose . there are times in life when you find yourself a lonely soldier . 40 your friends will never let you down and will strongly stand for you when you need encouragement . you can determine that they trust you and believe in your beliefs , if they side with you when you need them the most .a. people can be extraordinarily jealous sometimes .b. you know they will never pass on a wrong suggestion . c. in fact , winning trust is , by far , the most challenging aspect of relationships ; d. two people cant have the same reactions to a situation and different opinions do exist . e. no matter how close you are to your friends ,you cant take that comfort level for granted . f. if your friends share their secrets , theres a good possibility that they have much faith in you .g. however, people fortunate to have been blessed with true friends are never alone in any battle .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
