“After drinking a few beers, we climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town, and wrote on the tank in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is a S. O B. The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious 31 . Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office. My friends told the truth but I lied. No one 32 found out.”
"Nearly 20 years later, Sheriff Brown's name 33 on my list. I didn't even know if he was still 34 .

第二部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
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。
A
I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.
I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows (誓约) mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me, without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.
So here’s what I want to tell you today: Get a life. A real life , not a desire of the next promotion (提升), the bigger paycheck, the larger house.
Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you .And remember that love is not leisure (休闲), it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.
It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, and our minutes, so it is easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all:
I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.
By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion (激情) as it ought to be lived.
41.By the underlined sentence “It is so easy to exist instead of to live” in the fifth paragraph , the author really means that people tend to .
A．make a living rather than live a real life B．work rather than enjoy life
C．waste a lot in life D．forget the most important lessons in life
42.What’s the author’s attitude towards work?
A．Do it well to serve others. B．Earn enough money to make life better.
C．Try your best to get higher position and pay. D．Don’t let it affect your real life.
43.It can be inferred from the passage that .
A．the author is a success in personal life
B．the author didn’t try her best to work well
C．the author spent all her time caring for her children
D．the author likes traveling very much
B
Empty Deserts
In
the 19th century Americans from the eastern states moved out west to settle in
the rich new lands along the Pacific coast. The most difficult part of their
trip was crossing the “
The western desert can be very dangerous. There is little water and there are few trees. But the desert also has scenery of great beauty. Tall towers of red and yellow stone rise sharply from the flat sandy valley floor. The scene has been photographed many times and appears in movies and in TV.
In Arizona, man made dams(大坝) across the Colorado River have made two large lakes in the middle of the dry desert country. At Lake Powell, the red stone arch（弓形结构） of Rainbow Bridge rises high above the blue lake.
There
are few roads. Many areas of
In
Although the desert is dry and seems empty, there is plenty of life if you look closely. Small insects, snakes and rats have learned how to live in the desert heat. They live under ground and come out at night, when it is cool. Plants such as cacti need very little water. When it does rain in the desert (sometimes only once or twice a year), plants grow quickly, and flowers open in a single day. For a short time, the desert is covered with brilliant colors.
44.In the 19th century, Americans moved from the east to the west because they ______.
A. enjoy the trip B. wanted to make their home there
C. wanted to find new grassland there D. had no water to drink
45.From the passage, we can conclude that ______.
A. the western desert is a good place for people to live in
B. there is little water but there are many trees in the desert
C. the desert is dangerous but it is full of life
D. till now, people know little about the desert
46.If you want to find some old native American pictures painted on the rock you must go ______.
A. on foot B. by boat C. by car D. by plane
47.In the 1800s many travelers died in
A. illness B. high temperature C. cold weather D. poisonous water
48.In the desert, animals will die ______.
A. if they move about B. if they cannot make holes underground
C. if they come out at night D. if they drink much water
C
What color do you like best? Do you like yellow, orange and red? If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, or an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grey and blue? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are likely to be strong-minded and determined. You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists tell us. They have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, and the effects that colors have on human beings. They tell us that we don’t choose our favorite color as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you do so as soon as you open your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
Black is depressing while light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a dark green one does, and a red dress adds warmth and cheer to sad winter days. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark grey.
Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a few colorful things. Also remember that you will know your friends (and your enemies) better when you find out what colors they like and dislike. And don’t forget that anyone can guess a lot about you when you choose a piece of handkerchief.
49. According to the passage, men’s 110-meter hurdles Olympic champion and world record holder Liu Xiang is most likely to love the color ______.
A. black B. green C. grey D. brown
50. Why are machines painted orange in some factories, according to the passage?
A. Because workers tend to prefer orange to other colors.
B. Because other colors are forbidden in factories.
C. Because orange machines are easier to clean.
D. Because less accidents happen due to the introduction of orange machines.
51. Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?
A. It’s possible to cheer you up by enjoying some colorful pictures.
B. You can know your friends better through the color they like or dislike.
C. Some people are born with their colorful preference.
D. One’s color preference is always changeable.
52. The underlined word ‘optimist’ in Paragraph 1 probably means someone who is _____ about the future.
A. hopeful B. doubtful C. upset D. depressed

Compassion (同情) is a desire within us to help others. With effort, we can translate compassion into actions. An experience last weekend showed me this is true. I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly. These old people are our main customers, and it’s not hard to lose patience over their slowness. But last Sunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson. This untidy man walked up to my register（收款机）with a box of biscuits. He said he was out of cash（现金）, had just moved into his room, and had nothing in his cupboards. He asked if we could let him have the food on trust. He promised to repay me the next day.
I couldn’t help staring at him. I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and what he would be like if luck had gone his way. I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world. I told him that I was sorry, but store rules didn’t allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my job.
Just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up. If anything, he looked more pitiable. “Charge it to me,” was all he said.
What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft and safe and easy. Compassion, on the other hand, is caring in action. I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either. Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself. I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.
57. The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits ______.
A. promised to obey the store rules B. forgot to take any money with him
C. hoped to have the food first and pay later D. could not afford anything more expensive
58. Which of the following best describes the old gentleman?
A. kind and lucky B. poor and lonely
C. friendly and helpful D. hurt and disappointed
59. The writer acted upon the store rules because ______.
A. he wanted to keep his present job B. he felt no pity for the old gentleman
C. he considered the old man dishonest D. he expected someone else to pay for the old man
60. What does the writer learn from his experience?
A.Wealth is more important than anything else.
B. Helping others is easier said than done.
B. Experience is better gained through practice.
D. Obeying the rules means more than compassion.

书面表达
Nowadays, with the development of the Internet, there came a kind of language called Web language. Some people even speak Chinese mixed with English words. This is a phenomenon worth thinking about.
Some people think it kind of ridiculous. In their opinion, it makes no sense in helping people communicate or learn English. Besides, it will ruin the Chinese language. However, others, especially the youngsters, are fond of this way. They think it of special help in expressing themselves. What’s more, it may make the language more versatile.
In my opinion, it’s not a good practice to use the kind of language. It may be fashionable as some think, but you may also get your idea confusing, leaving the other person at a loss as to your meaning. So, I think we shouldn’t use the Web language.
