thats what really matters! please let me go.” “let you go?” a man laughed. “how could it be? you were born to serve us.” they laughed as they marched along, pulling me by a long rope like a dog. i was exhausted after running for days and i could feel that blood was flowing down my body. at last, i fell down in the grass, covered with blood. my soul moved away from my body and i was free at last. 56. according to the text, the author was probably _.a. a slaveb. a hunterc. a thiefd. a prisoner 57. to ask the men to let him go, what reason did the author give?a. he was bleeding. b. he was out of breath.c. he was also a human. d. he was afraid of dogs. 58. it can be inferred from the text that _.a. a man treated the authors woundsb. the dogs bit one of the authors legsc. a man set the author free out of mercyd. the author lost consciousness in the end 59. whats the best title for the text? a. a failed attempt to get freedomb. a dangerous hunting experiencec. a story of an adventure in woodsd. a struggle for survival and powerb its time to study like a rock star! many rock stars are smart enough to know that its cool to go to a top-rated school. lets check out these musicians who went to ivy league colleges. rivers cuomo the lead singer and guitarist of the band, weezer, is an ivy league rocker, graduating from harvard with outstanding performance. rivers cuomo earned his bachelors degree in english after 10 year on-off work at this famous university.john legend the grammy award winning singer and songwriter had scholarship offers from harvard, georgetown and morehouse before attending the university of pennsylvania, where he majored in english with an emphasis on african american literature. john legend famously contributed to kanye wests album, “the college dropout (辍学者)”. he always supports education reform and has even taken part in a public performance for dropout prevention for free. lisa loeb it was just a few years after she graduated from brown university with a degree in comparative literature that singer lisa loeb had a hit single (畅销的单曲唱片) with her song “stay”. the smart rocker made history with “stay” as the only artist to ever have a number one single before being signed to a recording contract. greg graffin the lead singer of the l.a. punk band, bad religion, earned his ph.d. from cornell university. he later worked at the university of california at los angeles as a life science professor. greg graffin has said, “evolution (进化) is a controversial topic that i research both on an academic (学术的) level and in my music.”60. we can learn from the text that john legend _.a. won a grammy award at collegeb. majored in comparative literaturec. became famous for the college dropoutd. once performed to help school dropouts61. which of the following musicians taught at a university?a. rivers cuomo. b. john legend.c. lisa loeb. d. greg graffin.62. which university did the singer of “stay” graduate from?a. harvard university.b. the university of pennsylvania.c. brown university. d. cornell university.63. the text mainly aims to _.a. advise readers to pursue their studiesb. advise readers to learn to enjoy rock musicc. show the importance of entering a top-rated schoold. show the relationship between education and musicc he has climbed a high mountain, raced the 24-hour motorcycle track in france and even, walked from tokyo to kyoto, a distance of 500 km. now evolta, panasonics 7-inch humanoid robot is getting ready for his biggest challenge the ironman triathlon (铁人三项) championship in hawaii.to compete in this exhausting contest, the green & white robot which is small enough to fit on a human palm, will have to swim 2.4 miles in the rough ocean, bike 112 miles across the hot hawaiian desert and, run a full marathon distance of 26.2 miles in the painfully hot weather.given that he is so tiny and powered by rechargeable batteries (充电电池) of panasonic, he will be allowed some freedom in the way he competes. for one, he will be starting the race on october 23rd, 2011, three weeks following the real event and, while human competitors have at most 17 hours to complete the triathlon, evolta will be given 7 days, during which his only “breaks” will be to recharge his batteries.the biggest difference however, will be that unlike a single human body doing all three races, there will be three different “evolta” robot bodies competing each built for the specific race. evolta the swimmer will be equipped with special arms to swim forward. evolta the biker, will be on a little two-wheeler with training wheels, while evolta the runner, will be fixed on what looks like a wheel.in spite of all these advantages, the robots creator tomotaka takahashi believes that the race will be a huge challenge not only will evolta have to battle the wind and sun, but also, small road obstacles (障碍) that humans just step over. the water will be even worse thanks to the strong waves, tides and ocean winds. but if he does complete it, evolta will add another feather in his cap and just prove the already well-known fact that panasonics rechargeable evolta batteries are indeed the “worlds longest-lasting batteries”! 64. when competing in the triathlon, evolta _. a. has to finish the competition in 17 hoursb. will be allowed to have a break from time to timec. will start three weeks earlier than other competitorsd. will have three specially-built bodies for the competition65. by saying “evolta will add another feather in his cap”, the author means _.a. evolta will celebrate the victory with a feather capb. evolta will become very famous and attractivec. evolta will be awarded with another feather capd. evolta will have another thing to be proud of 66. from the text, we can infer that evolta will take part in the competition to _.a. challenge human runnersb. prove the potential of robotsc. market panasonics batteries d. show todays advanced technology67. the text is mainly about a robot _. a. using the energy-efficient batteriesb. accomplishing a challenging triathlonc. winning human athletes for the first timed. competing in the ironman triathlon championshipd men take more risks. in studies, men as a whole display less cautious behavior than women, such as driving at higher speeds and closer to other cars, not wearing seat belts, and driving while drunk more often. they even make riskier turns and take less time when parking (although they do a more accurate job, says tom vanderbilt, author of traffic: why we drive the way we do (and what it says about us).but . how someone drives doesnt necessarily equal how well he drives. men do seem to be better at certain driving tasks than women. however, this slight edge (优势) in ability doesnt translate into better driving records. the kinds of accidents men get into are generally the result of their riskier behavior. according to one study, men are more than three times as likely to be ticketed for “aggressive driving” than women, and more than 25 percent as likely to be at fault in an accident.perception (观念) is a powerful thing. in spite of the research, it is still difficult to determine whether men are truly innately (天生地) better drivers than women or if theyre simply more confident in their driving because theyre considered to be better, and thus show better skills. similarly, the perception that women are weaker drivers may negatively affect their performance behind the wheel.women are catching up . which isnt necessarily good news. men may be responsible for more accidents than women, but the gap is getting smaller. today, more women drive (and drive more) than ever before, which has the unfortunate consequence of an increase in speeding, aggressive driving, and so on.68. the text is most probably taken from _.a. a book review b. a library guide c. a driving guidebook d. a newspaper report 69. the author develops the first paragraph mainly by _.a. making comparisons b. giving examplesc. analyzing reasons and results d. following the order of importance 70. what can we learn from the text?a. women should be responsible for most accidents. b. men cause accidents mainly because they are careless.c. tom vanderbilt believes that women can park more accurately than men. d. the author doubts whether men are born to be better drivers than women.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。how to become a professional athleteeveryone wants to be a superstar athlete. however, there is a lot of competition to make it. so if you want to be a professional athlete, you have to know all the tricks of the trade to rise up above the rest. 71 to play your sport better than anyone else, you have to practice your skills with lots of repetition. for example, you have to shoot 100 free throws every day for basketball. make steady improvements if you are a baseball pitcher (投手) and your fastball is stuck at about 60 miles per hour, change it up! try to walk your first step a little bit longer, bring in your elbow a little bit tighter, or try to reach higher when youre following through. 72 quality coacheshave you ever noticed that a lot of kids with parents who are professional athletes will often become professional athletes in the same sport? they have access to a professional athletes tips and tricks. 73 you should try to find coaches or professional athletes that are willing to answer your questions.diet of champions 74 if you can change your diet to a healthy one, youre going to be stronger.friends and enemies 75 by having great teammates or competitors, it pushes you to try harder and that always results in getting better.a. better late than neverb. practice makes perfect c. the biggest thing that most kids often ignore is their diet. d. the big secret to advancing your skills above anyone else is to improve.e. these little improvements are things that will help you advance your skills.f. but dont get discouraged if you dont have parents who were professional athletes.g. surrounding yourself with quality teammates and competitors is the best way to get better.第四部分： 写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节：短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（），并在其下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用斜线（）划掉。修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意：1. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词； 2. 只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分。last sunday, at the breakfast table, my father made a good suggestion. he told us that we were going to the park before breakfast. my brother and i was very exciting. i helped my mother put all ki
