    Most Chinese people these days know what it is like to have an “English teacher”, since almost all pupils study English from their third year. Usually that first English teacher will be a young and lovely lady in primary school. But my first English teacher is no other than my father. Looking back, I can see that, when I was only a little girl, he created an English environment by providing me with flashcards（识字卡），fun English- language toys and even dolls which can sing English songs! My interest in English had certainly been awakened（唤起） when I began to learn English at school. Just imagine, he went a step further and asked me to learn New Concept English by myself! I was confused and even angry. I could not understand why a father could be so strict with his little girl. All the same, he never gave up and he gently insisted that I follow through with his idea. At first, I read stories with tears and I actually hated them because they were too difficult for me. In the end, I came to love the funny stories and, to be honest, my father was always there with a helping hand. I am sure that my English would never have got so far without his support. And that’s why my father is not only my first English teacher but also my lifelong teacher. He is the one who awoke my interest, who gave me confidence and who offered me much needed help.

    Tobacco is the second major cause of death in the world. It is responsible for the death of one in ten adults worldwide (about 5 million deaths each year). If current smoking patterns continue, it will cause some 10 million deaths each year by 2020. Half the people that smoke today, that is about 650 million people, will eventually be killed by tobacco.
    Tobacco is the fourth most common risk factor for disease worldwide. The economic costs of tobacco use are equally devastating (破坏性的). In addition to the high public health costs of treating tobacco-caused diseases, tobacco kills people at the height of their productivity, depriving (剥夺) families of breadwinners(养家糊口的人) and nations of a healthy workforce. Tobacco users are also less productive while they are alive due to increased sickness. A 1994 report estimated that the use of tobacco resulted in an annual global net loss of 200 thousand million US dollars, a third of this loss being in developing countries.
    Tobacco and poverty are closely linked. Many studies have shown that in the poorest households in some low-income countries as much as 10% of total household expenditure is on tobacco. This means that these families have less money to spend on basic items such as food, education and health care. It contributes to a higher illiteracy rate, since money that could have been used for education is spent on tobacco instead.
    小题1:
    Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the first paragraph?
    A．Smoking causes 10 percent of the deaths worldwide.
    B．About 10 million people will die from smoking each year by 2020.
    C．Half the people in the world will be killed by smoking.
    D．Roughly there are 1,300 million smokers nowadays.
    小题2:
    According to the passage, tobacco affects a family in the following aspects EXCEPT _______.
    A．relationshipB．education
    C．healthD．economy
    小题3:
    The text uses a lot of figures to _____.
    A．show we shouldn’t smoke too much
    B．tell people exactly the number
    C．warn people of the harm of smoking
    D．indicate the writer had a careful investigation
    小题4:
    The underlined word “illiteracy” in the last paragraph means ____.
    A．great intelligenceB．good education
    C．bad behaviorsD．inability to read or write
    小题5:
    What is the best title of the passage?
    A．Tobacco Should Be Banned.
    B．Why Is Tobacco a Major Threat to Public Health.
    C．Tobacco and Poverty Go Hand in Hand.
    D．Tobacco May Cause Death.

    阅读理解。从ABCD中选出正确的答案。（每题2分，共40分）
    It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.
    The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour a week to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries（食品杂货）, saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.
    I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.
    People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity（人性） as a whole. And it has influenced（影响） us to be more mindful（注意的，留神的）of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.
    小题1:Why was the bike so important to the couple?
    A．They used it for work and daily life.
    B．It was their only possession.
    C．It was a nice Kona 18 speed.
    D．The man's job was bike racing.
    小题2:What does the underlined phrase mean?
    A．go very far to see someone
    B．walk out on foot to greet someone
    C．help someone with one’s best
    D．enjoy the moment with someone
    小题3:We can infer from the text that ________.
    A．the couple worked 60 hours a week
    B．people were busy before Christmas
    C．the stranger brought over the bike
    D．life was hard for the young family
    小题4:How did people get to know the couple's problem?
    A．From a stranger.
    B．From a newspaper.
    C．From TV news.
    D．From radio broadcasts.
    小题5:What do the couple learn from their experience?
    A．Strangers are usually of little help.
    B．One should take care of their bike.
    C．News reports make people famous.
    D．An act of kindness can mean a lot.

    Sharks have gained unfair reputation for being large fierce sea animals. That humanity’s unfounded fear and hatred of these ancient creatures are leading to a worldwide slaughter (大屠杀) may result in the extinction of many larger, coastal shark species. The shark is the victim of a warped (有偏见的) attitude of wildlife protection; we strive (努力) only to protect the beautiful, non-threatening parts of our environment. And, in our efforts to restore only non-threat parts of our earth, we ignore other important parts.
    A perfect illustration of this attitude is the contrasting attitude towards another large sea animal, the dolphin. During the 1980s, environmentalists in the United States objected to the practice of hunting tuna (金枪鱼) in the Pacific Ocean since these nets also caught dolphins. The environmentalists generated enough political and economic pressure to prevent tuna companies from buying tuna that had been caught in drift nets. In contrast to this effort, the populations of sharks in the Pacific Ocean have decreased to the point of extinction and there has been very little effort by the same environmentalism to save this important species of wildlife in water. Sharks are among the oldest creatures on earth, having survived in the seas for more than 350 million years. They are extremely efficient animals, feeding on wounded or dying animals, thus performing an important role in nature of knocking out the weaker animals in a species. Just the fact that species such as the Great White Shark have managed to live in the oceans for so many millions of years is enough proof of their efficiency and adaptability to changing environment. It is time for humans, who may not survive another 1,000 years at the rate they are damaging the planet, to cast away their fears and begin considering the protection of sharks as creatures that may provide us with an insight into our own survival.
    小题1: The best summary of the passage is __________.
    A．sharks have such a bad reputation
    B．how sharks become some of the oldest creatures on earth
    C．sharks should be put under wildlife protection
    D．the campaign to save dolphins was not extended to save sharks
    小题2: How long have sharks been living on the planet?
    A．More than 25 million years.
    B．More than 150 million years.
    C．More than 350 million years.
    D．More than 500 million years.
    小题3:Which of the following best describes the organization of this passage?
    A．Specific(细节) to general.B．Cause and effect.
    C．Statement and example.D．Time order.
    小题4: How did environmentalists manage to protect dolphins?
    A．They prevented fishermen from selling them for meat.
    B．They pressured fishermen into protecting dolphins by law.
    C．They created shelters where dolphin fishing was not allowed.
    D．They brought political pressure against tuna companies.

    A severe heatwave sweeping India, with temperatures of almost 44ºC, the highest in 52 years, has killed at least 80 people this month, officials said on Sunday. The hot weather, which officials say would continue over northern, north-western and central India in the next 48 hours, also may have some impact on wheat production, exporters and flour-mill associations said.
    　　New Delhi recorded a maximum temperature of 43.7ºC on Saturday, indicating a hot summer in the next two months in the nation's capital and other parts of northern and eastern India. The highest temperature in the past 24 hours was 47ºC at Ganganagar city, in Rajasthan state. Summer temperatures have been 4ºC-6ºC above normal over most parts of northern and central India since March, weather officials said.
    　　In the eastern state of Orissa, authorities have decided to shut down schools from next Tuesday, advancing the annual summer holiday. Authorities said they were investigating reports of 53 deaths from various parts of the state.
    　　"District collectors have been asked to investigate and submit reports on other deaths," Bhimsen Gochhayat, a government official said. Other deaths were reported from northern state of Uttar Pradesh and central Madhya Pradesh states.
    　　India is expected to produce about 82 million tons of wheat in 2009-2010, but there could be a shortage of 1-1.5 million tons due to the heatwave, said Veena Sharma, Secretary General of the Roller Flour Millers Federation of India. "Most of the harvesting is over, but there definitely will be a slight shortage of 1-1.5 million tons due to the extreme weather conditions," she told Reuters.
    India is relying on an abundant wheat crop to make up for a 14.2% drop in rice output, the major summer-sown food grain, marred by the worst monsoon （季风）in 37 years last year. Weather officials say with summer temperatures in India set to remain above average, there were hopes of heavy rains at the start of the monsoon season that will help early sowing of rice, soybeans and lentils. 
    小题1: The purpose of the passage is ____________.
    A．to tell a piece of news of a heatwave
    B．to record the highest temperature in India
    C．to report the deaths in the heatwave
    D．to inform people of a drop of rice output
    小题2: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A. The highest temperature in the history of India was 44ºC.
    B. Schools were closed because of the hot weather throughout India.
    C. India is expected to produce about 82 million tons of rice in 2009-2010.
    D. India has a good harvest of wheat while the rice output is decreasing.
    小题3: The underlined word “marred” in the last paragraph probably means “___________”.
    A．reducedB．damagedC．blownD．followed
    小题4:What is the main idea of the passage?
    A．A severe heatwave would continue over India.
    B．At least 80% people were killed in the disaster this month.
    C．A severe heatwave swept India with a great loss.
    D．A slight shortage of 1-1.5 million tons is due to the heatwave.

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    E
    All areas of the world face a nurses shortage. But the shortage is most severe in developing countries. Many of their nurses move to the more developed nations for better pay, better working conditions and better chances for career development. For example, nearly 2,000 nurses left the Caribbean between 2002 and 2006.
    The Caribbean nations currently have about 1 nurse for every 1,000 people. The ratio(比例) of nurses to population is about 10 times higher in the United States and countries in the European Union(EU). Now, more than 21,000 nurses who trained in the Caribbean are working in the United States, Canada and Britain.
    Gaetan Lafortune is an official of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development(O.E.C.D) in Paris. He says the nurses shortage also affects industrialized countries. He says, “There is concern in most O.E.C.D.countries that the number of nurses is too small to meet the demand. And what is more worrying is that their concern is sort of growing.” Mr Lafortune says a large number of nurses are expected to retire within the next 10 years. At the same time, the health care needs of aging populations are expected to grow, intensifying the shortage of nurses.
    Gaetan Lafortune said, “In the U.S., for instance, some researchers have found that there may be a shortage of close to a million nurses by 2020.” The United States is 1 of the 21 countries in the O.C.E.D. Gaetan Lafortune says in the recent years many of the countries increased their efforts to hire foreign nurses. As a result of that, O.E.C.D. countries were mainly exporting their shortage problem to countries that may have an even greater need for these nurses.
    小题1:What will be the main causes of the global nurses shortage in the next 10 years?
    a. The demand for nurses will decrease.                    
    b. Many nurses will be too old to work.
    c. Many rich countries will hire more foreign nurses. 
    d. Nurses are often looked down upon.
    e. Aging populations will increase rapidly
    A．a and bB．b and cC．b and eD．c and d
    小题2:The underlined word “intensify” in para. 3 means “________”.
    A．strengthenB．neglectC．reduceD．cause
    小题3:We know from this text that America and the EU countries ______.
    A．refuse to offer equal pay to foreign nurses
    B．have at least one nurse out of 100 people
    C．don’t like to train nurses of their own countries
    D．have more serious nursing problems than the Caribbean nations
    小题4:What does the text mainly tell us?
    A．Nursing is no longer a worthwhile profession in most countries.
    B．The different attitudes towards nursing in different countries.
    C．Nurses shortage will result in serious consequences.
    D．The health care industry needs more nurses.
