    Angus MacLeod was fifty and he had spent his entire life as a shepherd in the remote mountainous region of northwest Scotland. He had never owned a radio or television nor had he travelled further than forty kilometres from his birthplace. His knowledge of the world was gained only from his brief trips to the village to sell his sheep and buy food. However, he had lately come to rely on the growing number of hill-walkers in the region as sources of international news.
    In the spring of 1992, a Spanish student came across Angus high in the mountains. Eager to practise his English he engaged Angus in conversation. The student told Angus of the forthcoming Olympic Games in Barcelona. Excited by the student's colourful description of Spain and the Games, Angus decided to attend the event in person and two months later arrived in Barcelona.
    The ticketless Angus stood outside the stadium with his canny brain working overtime, watching a growing number of individuals entering the stadium through a small entrance at the side. He noticed that they all seemed to be carrying objects. Perhaps they were workmen, he thought. He moved closer and watched.
    Within minutes a thin young man came along carrying an extremely long pole. He approached the official at the door and said "Pole Vault". The official moved to the side and the man entered. Next came a heavy-set man with a spear. Angus wondered how a man could carry such a dangerous weapon in a modern city. The man shouted " Javelin " and was presently admitted. Angus was puzzled. Perhaps they were all connected with security. His puzzlement grew when a huge man appeared with a steel ball in his hand. He shouted "Shot Putt" and walked past the official.
    It suddenly dawned on Angus that these people were competitors. He opened his programme and sure enough under the heading "events" he saw the three words the men had said. Angus laughed to himself as a plan began to take shape in his mind. First he needed to buy one or two things.
    An hour later he reappeared dressed in a tracksuit with "Scotland" written across the chest. Over his shoulder he carried a roll of barbed wire (铁丝网). Smiling to himself he walked up to the official and as casually as he could, shouted, "Fencing!"
    46. Which was Angus' new way of getting information about the outside world?
    A. Travelling from his birthplace.                   B. Listening to radio and watching TV.
    C. Going to the nearby village to sell sheep.       D. Talking to hill-walkers in the region.
    47. What are "Javelin" , "Pole Vault", "Shot Putt" and "Fencing" in the passage?
    A. Olympic events.                     B. Names of competitors.
    C. Security weapons.                   D. Names of countries.
    48. From the passage we can learn that ______.
    A. more and more people went to Scotland to practise their English
    B. the Spanish student's description of his country excited Angus
    C. Angus had been planning a trip to Barcelona to see the Olympic Games
    D. Angus became a member of the Scottish Olympic team
    49. From the passage we know that Angus seemed to be
    A. poorly-informed             B. intelligent         C. strong-minded   D. athletic
    50. What do you expect the official would do in the end?
    A. Help him carry the wire.                B. Refuse to let him in.
    C. Give him a close inspection.                  D. Lead him to the competition.

    第三部分 阅读 ( 共两节，满分40分)
    第一节 阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    When I walked into the house after school, the first thing I noticed was a box with items I recognized from my dad’s office.
    “What are you doing home already?” I asked casually.
    “Andrew, I was laid off today,” he answered, quietly.
    I was sure he was joking. “No, you weren’t. Why are you really home?”
    Then I noticed his seriousness and realized he was telling the truth. My father has always been a hard worker and prided himself on his career. Providing for our family has been his joy, and I guess I had taken his work for granted.
    My father’s unemployment created many changes in our lives. For starters, he was home all the time, which meant my bed had to be made, my room cleaned up, and my homework done right after school. I would come home every day to find him at the computer searching for jobs. I began to notice how down he seemed, and how losing his job had affected his self-esteem, though he tried to be optimistic. For the first time, I saw my dad as vulnerable. He asked my brother and me to spend less. I gave up my allowance, which even though it wasn’t much, felt like the right thing to do. I also found a part-time job.
    After several difficult months of searching, my dad decided to go in a totally different direction. He explained that he never wanted to be laid off again, so he was going to start his own business. Day by day, I watched him build it, and I admired how much time and energy he expended.
    One evening I asked if he needed help.
    “Only if it doesn’t interfere with school,” he said.
    I showed up at his office the next afternoon, and most afternoons after that for two months. I always knew he was a hard worker, but watching him in action really impacted me. Although this was one of the worst experiences for our family, it taught me a lot about dealing with adversity. Now I know that through creative problem-solving, I can always find Plan B, ask for help, and take risks. What I have learned from my dad’s understanding of business and his work ethic are two of the most important lessons I will ever learn, and will be my foundations for success.
    41.   The author’s father stayed at home because __________.
    A. he had to help with the author’s lessons
    B. his boss had stopped employing him
    C. heavy house work was waiting for him to do
    D. he wanted to search for new jobs on line
    42.   What made the author know the truth?
    A. The box from his dad’s office.      B. His father’s words.
    C. His father’s expression_r_r.                  D. Being informed by his family.
    43.   The author’s attitude toward his father’s former job was __________.
    A. unconcerned   B. sympathetic   C. doubtful   D. tolerant
    44.   By saying “Only if it doesn’t interfere with school,” the author’s father seemed ____________.
    A. to refuse the author’s advice on the new business
    B. to show his discontent with the author’s schoolwork
    C. to have said yes to the author’s offer of help
    D. to be looking forward to the author’s good behavior at school
    45.   It can be inferred from the text that ___________.
    A. the author’s father was more optimistic to stay at home
    B. the author couldn’t put up with his dad’s own business
    C. the author’s father offered little allo wance to the author
    D. the author benefited from his father on how to deal with adversity

    IN a 30-minute film called The Chase, a girl tries to catch a thief and finally takes him down with martial arts (武术) skills.
    Anything special? Thirteen-year-old US girl Sophia Tran wrote, shot and performed in the film. She played the girl in the movie and her father, Steven, played the thief.
    Now an eighth-grader at Ladera Ranch Middle School, California, Tran wrote The Chase over the summer of 2008. She shot the film in the fall of 2008 before holding the premiere (首映式) at her home in January the next year.
    “It is important to have passion in filmmaking or you are not going to make it,” the quiet teenager said with a smile. “Also, you should read a lot of books about filmmaking.”
    Tran thinks that many screenplays don't have any “suspense (悬念) as the film progresses.” She is now working on a movie which she says will be a suspense story.
    Steven says his daughter has enjoyed drama and action movies since she was 7.
    “She started to be interested in how stories are adapted (改编) to a screenplay,” Steven said. “And she wrote her own books when she was in second grade.”
    But Tran also has a big heart. She sold DVD copies of her film The Chase for $10 each to family and friends. She then donated $400 from the DVD sales to her school to buy new computers.
    57.   Sophia Tran played _____ in her movie.
    A. a thief          B. a doctor                       C. a girl           D. a police woman
    58.   Sophia Tran shot the film _____.
    A. last year        B. in January                            C. last summer     D. less two years ago
    59.   Sophia Tran thinks ______ are important for successful filmmaking.
    A. characters         B. stories       C. passion and knowledge D. passion and experience
    60. According to Sophia Tran, many screenplays are poorly written because _____.
    A. they don't keep readers excited                      B. they mostly end in an unexpected way
    C. their dialogues are not interesting                   D. they are not inspiring

    Robby was 11 when his mother dropped him off for his first piano lesson. I prefer students to begin at an earlier age. Robby insisted that it had always been his mother’s dream to hear him play the piano, so I took him on as a student.
    Robby tried and tried while I listened and encouraged him and gave him more instructions. But he just did not have any inborn ability.
    I only saw his mother from a distance. She always waved and smiled but never came in.  Then one day Robby stopped coming to our lessons. I thought about calling him but I guessed he had decided to try something else.
    I was also glad that he stopped coming for the sake of my career. However, several weeks before the recital (演奏会) of my students, Robby came，telling me that he never stopped practicing and begged me to allow him to take part in. I agreed, but I made him perform last in the program, so I could save his poor performance through my “curtain closer”.
    I was surprised when he announced that he had chosen one piece of Mozart’s. Never had I heard a piece of Mozart’s played so well by someone at his age. When he finished, everyone was cheering.
    I ran up and put my arms around Robby in joy. “I’ve never heard you play like that, Robby!  How could you do it?”
    “Well, Miss Hondorf. Do you remember I told you my mom was sick? Actually she died this morning. She was born deaf, so tonight was the first time she could hear me play in heaven. I wanted to make it special. I knew I could.”
    That night, Robby was the teacher and I was the student. He taught me so many important things about life.
    36. Why did Robby stop coming to piano lessons suddenly?
    A. He lost heart and believed that he would never make it.
    B. His mother might had been seriously ill.
    C. He thought that his teacher disliked him.
    D. His mother died and he didn’t need to play any longer.
    37. We can know from the passage that ________.
    A. the writer thought that students shouldn’t begin playing the piano too early
    B. the writer thought that Robby had given up his piano lessons
    C. only by practicing at home did Robby learn to play well
    D. no one else could play the piece of Mozart’s as well as Robby
    38. The writer made Robby perform last because ______.
    A. the one who performs last always performs very well
    B. Robby asked the writer to do so
    C. she wanted to do something to save a poor performance
    D. Robby thought his mother would come at last

    阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从21-35各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    You need to know when the events of a text take place. This will help you to see the __21__ of the text — the reason things happen in a certain order. Some texts   22   a period of many years, like Wuthering Heights. Others go through a __23__ period of time — many poems try to capture one moment in time. Narrators (讲述者) can be immediate eyewitness, or they may be __24     the past. Some texts present two views of events: an eyewitness version, and a second version, __25__ on the same events much later. This happens in Great Expectations, where the narrator, Pip, sometimes speaks and acts like a __26__, and sometimes like a mature adult. Look out for the __27__ that the events fit together, and how they are caused. This is called the plot—the story of the text. Action in a text is either__28__, or happens by chance. Take notes on how the action is described, eg. if the tone is angry or __29__ . Try to work out how the language of the passage is being used to create the tone, the characters and the descriptions. You should also ask why the text has been written in the way it has — your notes on who, what, when, where and how will help you to    30    your own conclusions.
