24、ing Comprehension Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrases that best fits the context. A true apology is more than just acknowledgement of a mistake. Its recognition that something y
25、ouve said or done has damaged a relationshipand that you care enough about that relationship to want it _46_ . Its never _47_ to acknowledge you are in the wrong. Being human, we all need the art of apology. Look back and think how _48_ youve judged roughly, said _49_ things, pushed yurself ahead at
26、 the expense of a friend. Some deep thought lets us know that when _50_ a small mistake has been made, your _51_ will stay out of balance until the mistake is acknowledged and your regret is _52_. I remember a doctor friend, telling me about a man who came to him with _53_ illnesses: headache, insom
27、nia, stomachaches and so on. No physical _54_ could be found. Finally the doctor said to the man, “_55_ you tell me whats on your conscience, I cant help you.” After a short silence, the man told the doctor that he _56_ all the money that his father gave to his brother, who was _57_. His father had
28、died, so only he himself knew the matter. The doctor made the man write to his brother making an _58_ and enclosing a _59_. In the post office, the man dropped the letter into the mail box.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the informat
32、ion given in the passage you have just read.(A) My teenage son Karl became withdraw after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. But the more I tried, the more he pulled away. When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95
33、times from classes and had six falling grades for the year. At this rate he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked. One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and pleaded for help. “Please God, I cant do anything more for my son.
34、Im at the end of my rope. Im giving the whole thing up to you.” I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karls absences.” Before he could say another word, I choked up and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring
35、out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son but I just dont know what to do. Ive tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. Its out of my hands.” For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “thank you for your time
36、”, and hung up. Karls next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. Finally, he even made the honor roll. In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, “M
37、um, remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded. “That was I. I thought Id play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. Thats when I knew I had to make you proud.”61. by saying “Karl became withdrawn”, the author means that the boy changed
38、entirely and _. A. preferred to stay alone at home B. often escaped school C. refused to talk to others D. began to dislike his mother62. There was silence on the other end of the line because _. A. the speaker was too moved to say anything to the mother B. the speaker waited for the mother to finis
39、h speaking C. the speaker didnt want the mother to recognize his voice D. the speaker was unable to interrupt the mother63. What is the main idea of this passage? A. Children in single-parent families often have mental problems. B. Mothers love plays an important role in teenagers life. C. Being und
40、erstood by parents is very important to teenagers. D. School education doesnt work without full support from parents.(B) Once youve tasted the joy and freedom of an all-access backstage pass, sitting in the balcony（楼厅） far from the stage has little attraction. In March of 2008, I had the opportunity
41、 to tour with a band. The experience was eye-opening. I hadnt realized how many misconceptions I had about the lifestyle of a world-class musician. Such a life is not as great as it appears. In fact, some aspects are extremely tedious. Hours and hours are spent waiting. The musicians wait for their
42、transportation; they wait for the sound check; they wait to perform. After the show, they wait for the crowds of fans to go away. When the musicians are not waiting, they are traveling. Sometimes the travel itself can seem attractive and exciting, with the limousines（豪华轿车） and the first-class seats
43、on the plane. However, even these luxuries cannot make up for long, boring hours on the road or in the air. Basic needs are all but ignored. Late-night shows and early wake-up calls make them know the preciousness of sleep. The demanding travel itineraries（行程） and show schedules make regular meals i
44、mpossible. In spite of the sacrifices, life on tour has its advantage, at least for the talent. A support team generally travels with the band, with at least one person dedicated to meeting the musicians needs at all times. The musicians are expected to perform at the shows, but they are not expecte
45、d to manage any detail of their lives. When I was with the band, I poured glasses of grapefruit juice, made sandwiches, prepared dressing rooms, and performed all kinds of routine work, such as buying toothpaste and getting money from the ATM. In addition, efforts are made by promoters to keep the m
46、usicians happy. Most places offer private dressing rooms for the musicians. There is also usually a green room, a room that is large with comfortable furnishings where the band can visit with friends and family while waiting to go on stage. Before the band goes on, their families and friends file ou
47、t into the auditorium and find their seats. The house lights go dark and curtain rises. When the lights flash on and the band starts playing, the scene is magical. A behind-the-scenes view makes the experience even more spectacular.64. The underlined world in paragraph 2 probably means _. A. excitin
48、g B. boring C. reasonable D. ridiculous65. We can infer from the third paragraph that _. A. good arrangements always make the trips comfortable and pleasant B. most musicians would rather travel long distance than wait C. most musicians ignore their basic needs because the travel is too luxurious D.
49、 the lack of sleep and irregular meals seem to be a part of the life of musicians66. Which might be the best title for the passage? A. Behind the Scene. B. Hard Life of Musicians. C. My Part-time Job. D. How to Make Musicians Happy.(C) Most people who live in Seattle, Washington, love their city. Th
50、ere is a never-ending flow of fun things to do. But, people who live there do not always enjoy the day-after-day absence of sunshine during the winter months. It is documented fact that sunshine (or lack of it) plays a major role in how each of us meets the day. It also affects how we perform at sch
51、ool or work. When people are derived of sunlight, they can develop seasonal affective disorder, which makes it difficult for them to feel happy or get things accomplished. No major city in the United States is more affected by the “sunshine factor” than Seattle. To fight drizzle and fog during the w
52、inter months, Steve Murphy created a business that is very popular among the locals. The Indoor Sun Shoppe is more than a little ray of sunshine during the gray days of Seattles winter. His shop offers a huge source of plants and artificial lighting for people who are trying to overcome seasonal aff
53、ective disorder. Located in Fremont, Washington, The Indoor Sun Shoppe has an amazing collection of exotic plants and “good bugs” in a humid and well-lit environment. At The Indoor Sun Shoppe, you can spend up to $400 for artificial lighting that will chase away the winter blues. It will also keep y
54、our plants healthy. You can buy a dawn simulator that will gradually fill your room with a warming wake-up glow. What better way to meet a Seattle morning when real sunshine is nothing more than a happy thought! Murphys in-home waterfalls are also popular with customers. But his plants and lights re
55、main the “main course.” On a cloudy winter day, The Indoor Sun Shoppe is a bright spot in Seattle!67. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage? A. Seattle is located in the state of Washington. B. Citizens love Seattle for their colorful city lives. C. Sunshine in Seatt
56、le is rare during the winter months. D. People who live in Seattle are used to the sunshine absence.68. Which of the following best defines the term seasonal affective disorder in Para.2? A. mild temperature and a general feeling of illness caused by gray winter B. exhaustion, depression and lack of
57、 energy caused by a lack of sunlight C. winter-related illness caused by the low temperature and little sunlight D. post-holiday depression that comes when relatives leave after Christmas69. The Indoor Sun Shoppe _. A. attracts people from different parts of the whole country B. aims to create a hum
58、id and well-lit environment during winter months C. brings only a little ray of sunshine during the gray days of Seattles winter D. offers variety of goods helping people overcome seasonal affective disorder70. Which of the following best explains the use of a dawn simulator? A. An alarm clock stimu
59、lated by the light rays of early morning. B. A bringer of indoor artificial sunshine when there is none outside. C. An automatic waterfall system helping make indoor plants healthy. D. A better way to meet a Seattle morning with real warming sunshine.Section CDirections: Read the following text and
60、choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A.Weather is to blameB.Divided opinionsC.Inheriting（遗传） characteristicsD.Home of the redheadsE.Greater sensitivity to painF.Gene mutation（基因变异）71. Britain may be the most red-headed country
61、 in the world. About 1 to 2 percent of the worlds population has red hair, but in the UK the numbers are much higher, with 13 percent of Scots, 10 percent of the Irish, and 6 percent of people in England having red hair, according to the BBC. 72. Scientists have tried to explain why some people have
62、 red hair for some time and now they may have found an answer: the dull weather in Britain. The human body needs vitamin D from sunshine, but unfortunately people living in Britain do not have enough of it because of its maritime climate. In fact, Britain gets even more cloud than countries in the f
63、ar north of Europe. In Sweden, for example, the average daily hours of sunshine is 5.4 . In Scotland it is only 3.1 hours. 73. To deal with this, the DNA of people living in these areas has changed slightly; scientists call this a mutation. Originally, the coloring on our body is a mixture of two ki
64、nds of melanin black melanin is suppressed while only red / yellow melanin is made. The result is red hair, light skin color, freckles and a greater sensitivity to sunlight. 74. However, what s more interesting is that the redhead DNA mutation is recessive, which means it is hidden and can often ski
65、p generations without showing. At least 1.6 million Scots carry a redhead gene mutation, and most are unaware that they do. This is why a person who does not have red hair can still produce red-haired children if he or she is a carrier of this special DNA. 75. The research on red hair, like many are
66、as of science, is contradictory(不一致). In 2002 researchers showed that redheads are more sensitive to pain, and need more anesthetic during surgery than people with blonde or dark hair. However, in 2005 scientists found that a MCRIR mutation gives redheads a higher tolerance for pain. Research into t
67、hese aspects of red hair genetics continues. Redheads should though be more careful about their exposure to sunlight as they are at an increased risk of contracting skin cancer. If you are a redhead, the advice is not to stay out of the sun, but to be careful about how much exposure you get, and to
68、cover yourself with a high factor sunscreen.第II卷（共15分）I.
