mobile libraries or car libraries would be too expensive and difficult to continue in the rocky, hilly land of peru. so what other method could be used?medcalf got a new idea from the barefoot（赤脚）doctors of china. and that was how the barefoot librarians（图书管理员）first appeared in the villages of northern peru，almost thirty years ago. the librarians began by going from village to village, lending books to villagers. they hoped to start the rura1 library network of peru. at first，they were teachers of the village schools which these faraway libraries belonged to. but the teachers were not very interested in the job because it meant a lot of hard work. so, village elders took on the job themselves. today, there are 600 village libraries across peru. the barefoot librarians who walk up to 15 hours a day with bags of books are their lifeline.28. the first paragraph tells us that leonardo . a. had a lot of books b. bought candles from othersc. enjoyed reading booksd. lived in the church29. the underlined word this in paragraph 3 probably refers to（指）” ”a. to grow to love books b. to bring books to peoplec. to read and write d. to build a new library30. the passage doesnt mention .a. when the barefoot librarians appearedb. who worked as village librarians at firstc. where medcalf met chinese doctorsd. how many village libraries peru has today cwe all have happy memories of taking a few lazy months off after the stress of a-levels. so since summer has arrived, lets make full use. it goes without saying that summer vacations are the perfect time to go traveling. tickets go up greatly when you turn 26, so make full use of cheaper prices while youre eligible. volunteering abroad wont surprise future bosses, but it can be very useful. finding a reliable (可靠的) company is important, as is discovering a program that interests you. there are enough websites where you can see other peoples suggestions.of course for most of us, money is tight. to avoid overspending you can combine(结合) employment(打工)and vacation. hannah warn, a psychology (心理学) student at the university of winchester, is spending her summer at camp america where students enjoy a good time on a summer camp. “being thrown into something where i dont really know what to expect is exciting,” she says. “it gives me a chance to experience being away from home in a different way.”those with a talent for languages might also consider working abroad as an au pair (互惠工人). the work may be a chance to involve yourself in a new culture while your employer pays most of the bill.if you have an idea of the type of career youd like, getting work experience is wise. in many careers, graduating with only your degree(学位) to show for your three or four years just wont make it. send applications off early and to as many places as possible. make sure you take a well-earned break this summer.31. the underlined part “youre eligible” in para. 2 means “ ”.a. you have more free timeb. youre tired of school life c. you enjoy traveling a lot d. youre of the right age32. which of the following is true according to the example of hannah warn?a. camp america offers jobs to students.b. psychology students are good at saving money.c. students had better choose a camp connected to their future job.d. a camp is a good place to combine employment and vacation. 33. according to the passage, who is more likely (可能) to get a job after graduation?a. john, who got excellent academic records during his university years.b. lily, who worked abroad as an au pair during summer vacations.c. tom, who got working experience connected to his future job in college.d. mary, who got a degree after studying four years in a famous university.d bang! the door caused a reverberation (回声). it was just standing there, with father standing on one side, and i on the other side. we were both in great anger. never set foot in this house again! stormed father. with tears welling up in my eyes, i rushed out of the flat and ran along the street. the street lights were shining, causing rather sad-feeling. i wandered aimlessly. a young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. i felt as if i saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree. but now. i dont know whether it is because i have grown up or because dad is getting old. we differ in our ways of thinking. he always puts his opinions and codes of behaviour on me. whenever i do something wrong, he never admits(承认) it. we are just like two people coming from two different worlds. it feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened. i wandered in the streets, without a destination in mind. my heart was frozen on this hot summer night. as i walked on there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until i had only the street lights to keep me company(陪伴). when i finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which i lived, i saw that the light was still on. i thought to myself: is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me? in fact, it was nothing. perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. perhaps he thought they were useless. i never had the courage to tell him that i liked collecting stamps. i cant stand his outrageous (蛮横的) words: i cant throw you away, let alone these old papers? all the lights were off except fathers. dad was always like this. maybe he didnt know how to express himself. after shouting at me, he never showed any mercy(怜悯) or any moments of regret. after an argument he has the habit of creeping up (悄悄来到) in my sleep and then tucking me underneath the covers. this was how he always was. he has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature. the light was still on. am i wrong? i whispered, maybe. with the key in hand, i was as nervous as i had ever been. at last, i decided to open the door. as soon as i opened the door tears ran down my cheeks. i suddenly realized that the iron door that i had imagined between us did not exist (存在) at all. love-is second to none.34. which is the best order of the following according to what happened in the passage. a. i opened the door and entered the house. b. sadly i ran out into the street. c. i reached the place where i lived and saw my house still brightly lit. d. i thought of my fathers kindness towards me. e. i walked about in the street without any aim.a. b-e-d-c-a b. b-e-c-d-a c. b-e-a-c-d d. b-e-c-a-d35. what made the writer think of his childhood?a. the sight of the street lights.b. the sight of the empty street.c. the sight of a father with a child in his arms.d. the sight of light in his own house.36. why do you think the father often shouts at his son?a. perhaps the father is getting older and older.b. perhaps the son has already grown up.c. perhaps they never agree with each other.d. perhaps the father has got used to doing that.37. what conclusion can you come to after reading the passage?a. the father treats his son in an unfair way.b. the father is actually kind to his son.c. the father is neither kind nor cruel to his son.d. the father is always finding fault (过错) with his son. 第ii卷（主观题，共40分）四、词汇运用（本大题共8分，每小题1分）(a) 根据句意和汉语注释，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出单词的正确形式。1. you cant remember so many _(科学家) telephone numbers in such a short time.2. thomas edison made the first recording of a human voice on his _(发明) in 1877.3. china, an _(东方的）country, is becoming more and more important in the world.4. i think maybe this is the _(愚蠢的) mistake i have ever seen.(b) 根据句意，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出括号内所给单词的适当形式。5. many modern stations have been built, so these old ones will be out of _(serve) in the future.6. the plane _(land) at the airport in chicago at last.7. kobe is _(wide) known as a good basketball player.8. i have realized that small children are really _ (tire) to deal with.五、动词填空 用括号内所给动词的适当形式填空，并将答案写在答题卡标有题号的横线上。（本大题共8分，每小题1分）1. dont miss mayuns wonderful speech. im sure each of us _(attract)2. he doesnt know what he should pay attention to _(reduce) the pollution.3. peter said that he _(return) home before 6 oclock, but he didnt.4. mr. green devoted all his effort to _(educate) students.5. not only the students but also their teacher _(know) about the four people.6. did you see a woman in a red skirt pass by just now？ sorry, i didnt. i _(chat) with my online friends.7. your mobile phones require _ (turn) off while having a meeting.8. this is the first time that i _(play) baseball, what great fun!六、任务型阅读 先通读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容和表格，在空格内填入一个适当的单词，使意思完整.（共5分）whether we are going to school or going to work, we are all sad to leave the weekend behind and go back to our monday morning blues (沮丧情绪). but with the tips, you can get over those blues and face monday mornings with a smile. love what you do. if you love what you do, then you wont fear monday mornings as much. loving your job will make you look forward to the week ahead. try to find something positive (积极的) in your workplace. it could be a friend, a partner, or the work you do in general. the important thing is to keep a positive attitude (态度) at work. do what gives you feelings of comfort, while remembering your responsibilities (责任) for the day. this will help you cheer yourself up for the day ahead. if the clock rings and you still feel sleepy, stay in for five minutes. however, dont stay past five minutes, as it will only make you feel even lazier for your day. when you get up, make a cup of coffee and put on some music. this will help you feel energetic. try to give yourself a little something extra. a good reward for monday would be a treat you wouldnt have the rest of the week. on fridays, plan a night out for films or dinner. this will give you a little break from the rest of the week. this way, you will know that even if youre working hard, you will have something go
