19、 Not knowing we were poor, my kids just thought I was 38 . Ive always been glad about that.It was Christmas time, and although there wasnt 39 for a lot of gifts, we planned to celebrate with a family party. But the big 40 for the kids was the fun of Christmas 41 .They planned weeks ahead of time, as

20、king 42 what they wanted for Christmas. Fortunately, I had saved $120 for 43 to share by all five of us.The big 44 arrived. I gave each kid a twenty-dollar bill and 45 them to look for gifts of about four dollars each. Then everyone scattered (散开). We had two hours to shop; then we would 46 back at

21、the “Santas Workshop”.Driving home, everyone was in high Christmas spirits, 47 my younger daughter, Ginger, who was unusually 48 . She had only one small, flat bag with a few candies fifty-cent candies! I was so angry, but I didnt say anything 49 we got home. I called her into my bedroom and closed

26、小题2分，满分30分）A I travel a lot, and I find out different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”Foreign tourists are often confused (困惑) in Japan because most streets there dont have names; in Japan, people use landmarks (地标) in their directions instead of street nam

27、es. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the l

28、and is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”People in Los Angeles, California, have no id

29、ea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “its about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They dont know.Its true that a person doesnt know the answer to your question sometim

30、es. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I dont know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I dont know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!56. When

31、 a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place, they usually _. A. describe the place carefullyB. show him a map of the place C. tell him the names of the streetsD. refer to recognizable buildings and places57. What is the place where people measure distance in time? A. New York.B. Los Ange

32、les.C. Kansas.D. Iowa.58. People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer _. A. in order to save timeB. as a test C. so as to be politeD. for fun59. What can we infer from the text? A. Its important for travelers to understand cultural differences. B. Its useful for travelers to know how to ask

33、the way properly. C. People have similar understandings of politeness. D. New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.B Far from the land of Antarctica (南极洲), a huge shelf of ice meets the ocean. At the underside of the shelf there lives a small fish, the Antarctic cod.For forty years scientists

34、have been curious about that fish. How does it live where most fish would freeze to death? It must have some secret. The Antarctic is not a comfortable place to work and research has been slow. Now it seems we have an answer.Research was begun by cutting holes in the ice and catching the fish. Scien

35、tists studied the fishs blood and measured its freezing point.The fish were taken from seawater that had a temperature of 1.88 and many tiny pieces of ice floating in it. The blood of the fish did not begin to freeze until its temperature was lowered to 2.05. That small difference is enough for the

36、fish to live at the freezing temperature of the ice-salt mixture.The scientists next research job was clear: Find out what in the fishs blood kept it from freezing. Their search led to some really strange thing made up of a protein (蛋白质) never before seen in the blood of a fish. When it was removed,

37、 the blood froze at seawater temperature. When it was put back, the blood again had its antifreeze quality and a lowered freezing point.Study showed that it is an unusual kind of protein. It has many small sugar molecules (分子) held in special positions within each big protein molecule. Because of it

38、s sugar content, it is called a glycoprotein. So it has come to be called the antifreeze fish glycoprotein. Or AFGP.60. What is the text mainly about? A. The terrible conditions in the Antarctic. B. A special fish living in freezing waters. C. The ice shelf around Antarctica. D. Protection of the An

39、tarctic cod.61. Why can the Antarctic cod live at the freezing temperature? A. The seawater has a temperature of 1.88. B. It loves to live in the ice-salt mixture. C. A special protein keeps it from freezing. D. Its blood has a temperature lower than 2.05.62. What does the underlined word “it” in Pa

40、ragraph 5 refer to? A. A type of ice-salt mixture.B. A newly found protein. C. Fish blood.D. Sugar molecule.63. What does “glycol-” in the underlined word “glycoprotein” in the last paragraph mean? A. sugarB. iceC. bloodD. moleculeCTrees are useful to man in three important ways: they give him wood

41、and other useful things, they give him cool places, and they help to stop drought and flood.Unluckily, in many parts of the world, man has not found that the third of these points is the most important. Man wants to make money from trees,so he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that wi

42、thout them he has lost the best friends he had. And also, he is usually too careless to plant and look after new trees. So the forests slowly disappear.This does not only mean that man will have fewer trees. The results are even worse: for where there are trees, their roots break up soil-make the ra

43、in in-and also bind the soil, thus stopping it from being washed away easily; but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away, causing floods and carrying away the rich top-soil. When all the top-soil is gone, nothing is left but useless desert.64. The most important point

44、s of trees to man is _.A. they help him to make money B. they give him cool C. they give him wood and other things D. they help him to stop drought and floods65. In many places forests slowly disappear because _ .A. many trees have been cut down by man B. new trees are not well looked after C. man h

45、as not paid enough attention to planting trees D. all the above66. Land becomes desert after all trees are cut down because _ .A. roots of trees break up the soil B. there are too many rainfallsC. strong winds bring a lot of sand D. there are no longer trees to keep the rain and protect the top-soil

46、.67.Which title best fits the passage?A. Trees and Man B. The Function of Tree WoodC. How do People do with Trees? D. The Usage of Tree RootsD“How can I learn English well?” This is a question many students ask. In my opinion, the most effective way is to learn lessons by heart. If you can recite th

47、e text and write it out, youve learned it fairly well. And if you can tell, in your own words, what the lesson says youre a very successful learner indeed. Your English will be quite perfect.This is a difficult task. However, if you try to learn by heart only part of each lesson, youll find it not h

48、alf so hard as you might have thought. Learning this way, you will make rapid progress. Of course, writing is also necessary. It helps you a lot on our way to success in English. Equally important is to feel the language. You should be able to laugh at jokes and be shocked at bad news. When using En

So, never try to see English through translation.68.In the writers opinion, the most effective way in learning English is _.A. to practise speaking, writing and feeling itB. to forget your own native

Generally speaking, it is often used to describe anything from creative imagination, including works of poetry, drama and

53、 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. Its 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 ou

54、r 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 (洞悉，了解) into the traditions, custom

55、s, 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.
