You see, I never called him that. At first, he was no one special in my life. Then he became my friend. In time, I felt h
25、e was also my father.Leo married my mother when I was eleven. Two years later we moved into a house in a new suburban(郊区的)development, where we put down roots. At first our lawn (草坪) was just a pile of mud with wild grass, but Leo saw bright possibilities. Well plant trees there to give us shade as
26、well as some flowers, he said. And just these little touches made our house different from all the others. More important, a real family was forming within this house, with its own special traditions. Leo was becoming a fulltime parent, and I was learning what it meant to have a father.Weekday morni
27、ngs when the weather was bad, Leo often drove me to school. Having a father drop you off may have been something my classmates took for granted, but I always thought it was wonderful. Saturday mornings, we went to the hardware(五金)shop, then stepped into the five and ten, buying a sports magazine or
28、something else. Some people might think that doing shopping together is nothing special, but I, who had ever before spent my childhood watching other families do their everyday activities, experienced them now with extreme delight. Looking back, I realized that Leo gave me what I needed most, the ex
29、perience of doing ordinary things together as a family.Soon after we moved to the suburbs, one of our new neighbors introduced herself tome. She had already met my mother and Leo. You know, she said, you look just like your father. I knew she was just making conversation but even so. Thank you, I sa

33、(B) The modern Olympic Games were founded with the intention of improving health and education, promoting world peace, and encouraging fair and equal competition. But over the years, the Olympic saying, faster, higher, stronger, has pushed scientists as well as athletes to do everything possible to
34、reach new levels.Doctors, engineers and coaches all use everything science has to offer to achieve that little bit extra in competition. The reason modern technology has become part of sport is very simple: winning is just as important as it was 2,500 years ago at the Olympics of ancient Greece. Dev
35、elopments in technology have often been reflected in the methods of training and performance at the Olympics through history. This technology falls into two main groups: improving an athletes performance in competition, and allowing results to be measured more accurately.One of the creations that ha
36、s drawn the most attention is the new high-tech swimsuit from Speedo, which was used by many US swimmers in Athens. Until Sydney 2000, it was thought that the smaller the swimsuit, the faster the swimmer would travel.However, the fact that at the Sydney Olympics, 28 of the 33 gold medalists were wea
37、ring the body covering Fastskin suit proved the theory was out of date, said Andy Thomas, vice-president of Speedo.The companys full body suit is supposed to make swimmers 3 to 4 percent faster, particularly when turning or diving into the water. It is believed that the suit creates less water resis
38、tance as it moves, behaving more like a shark skin than a human skin.The introduction of high-tech equipment means that athletes in all sports, from the 100-metre sprint to the pole vault, can now train more effectively.Meanwhile, scientific development also means performances can be measured and st
39、udied more accurately. Not only are winning times more accurately recorded, but cheating athletes are easier to catch out. Athens 2004 organizers promised to use only the very latest equipment to measure distance and speed. 60. Which is not the first aims of the modern Olympic Games?A. Improving hea
40、lth and education. B. Promoting world peace.C. Encouraging fair and equal competition. D. Winning medals.61. The reason modern technology has become part of sport is that people _.A. make every effort to win medals B. do their best to invent new sports equipmentC. try to test their abilities D. want
41、 to improve their condition of competition62. From the passage we know_.A. before the Sydney Olympics people thought the less the swimmers wore, the faster they swamB. at the Sydney Olympics among 33 swimming and diving gold medalists, 28 wore the full body suit made by SpeedoC. people think the bod
42、y covering swimsuit is not popularD. it is believed that the new high-tech suit creates no water resistance as it moves63. In the passage it mentions that high technology is involved in _ aspects.A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 4(C) Life is speeding up. Everyone is getting unwell.This may sound like something som
43、eone would say today. But in fact, an unknown citizen who lived in Rome in AD 53 wrote it.We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can change our lives. But have all these developments really improved the quality of our lives?Picture this: Youre rushing to finish your homework on t
44、he computer. Your mobile phone rings, a QQ message from your friend appears on the screen, the noise from the television is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work. Now you have to stay up all night to get it done. How calm and happy do you feel?Inventi
45、ons have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave us feeling stressed and tired. Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have no telephones, no cars, not even any electricity often seem to be happier? Perhaps because they lead simple lives.One family in the UK went
46、 back in time to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin, 10 and Thomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phones. The grandmother, Lyn, said: It was
47、hard physically. But not mentally. She believed life was less materialistic (物质的). The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes, she said. The boys said they fought less. Probably, they said, because there was less to fight over, such as their computer. Also Lyn changed from being a fas
48、hionable, beer-drinking granny, to one who cooked things.Here are some simple ways to beat the stress often caused by our inventions! Dont be available all the time. Turn off your mobile phone at certain times of the day. Dont check your emails every day. Make sure you spend some time talking to you
49、r family. Set aside one evening a week when you dont turn on the television. Play cards and chat instead. Get a low-tech hobby. Every day, do something in the old-fashioned way, such as walking to have a face-to-face meeting instead of using the email or telephone. Dont worry too much about life - l
50、augh more!64. The passage is mainly about _. A. problems with technology B. improvements of our life with technologyC. the important roles technology plays in our everyday lifeD. major changes which will be likely to happen to technology65. The writer uses the quote(引语) at the beginning of the story
51、 to _.A. share a truth about life B. tell us what life was like long time agoC. make us wonder what causes such a thing to happenD. point out that you experience some big problems and they may be the same66. Why did the family choose to spend some time in a 1940s house?A. Because they loved to live
52、simple lives.B. Because they were curious about how people lived without modern inventions.C. Because they were troubled by modern inventions.D. Because living in a different time would be a lot of fun for them.67. What do you think the underlined word available in the 1st suggestion offered by the
53、writer means?A. Busy on time. B. Free. C. Be able to. D. To be found by others.(D) Its great to go on vacation, but its also nice to come home. Migrating (迁徙) birds seem to feel the same way. Birds such as black-tailed godwits, a migrating bird that can be found in Europe, Asia, North Africa and nor
54、th Australia, fly south every winter. Then, they return home to spend the summer months with their life long partner.Now, scientists have found, pairs of godwits often return to their summer breeding (繁殖) grounds within three days of each other, even though they spend the entire winter apart. Its as
55、 if they arranged the date that they would meet up again.Researchers in England, put coloured leg bands on the birds. Then, they asked birdwatchers around Europe to report by email when and where they saw the birds during the winter.The simplest way for birds to return at the same time would be to s
56、pend the winter together. After all, if theyre in different places, they cant call each other on the phone and talk about when theyll meet again. But, the survey found that couples usually spent their winters in different countries up to 1, 000 kilometres apart. One male, for example, spent the wint
57、er on the coast of Ireland while his mate was in France.These findings are important for protecting the birds, scientists say. Black-tailed godwits live for up to 25 years. They spend their summers in Iceland, where they mate, but they spread all over other parts of Europe in winter. Once a pair mat
58、es, theres a 90 per cent chance that theyll return to mate with each other again the next year. So, protection of their wide web of holiday destinations (目的地) is very important. How do the birds arrange their date of return? Unless scientists find their feathered cellphones, that question will remai
59、n a mystery. 68.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Migrating birds all fly south every winter.B. Migrating birds return home in summer.C. Godwits often fly south in couples every winter.D. Godwits often return home almost at the same time.69.According to the pa
60、ssage we know that _.A. the birds return at the same time because they arrange the date before they partB. the couples dont spend their winters together because they want to live apart for some timeC. the birds use their special feathered cellphones to arrange their dateD. once two birds become a co
61、uple they are likely to mate again the next year70.We can infer from the passage that_.A. black-tailed godwits are loyal to their matesB. black-tailed godwits return home only to spend their summersC. we know how to find and feed black-tailed godwitsD. we know why couples of godwits usually spend th
62、eir winters in different places71.Which is the best title?A. How Birds Spend Their Winters B. How Birds Spend Their SummersC. Birds Come Back Home for Love D. Birds Are to Be Protected(E) Nowadays, more and more lovers are using email to communicate with each other. The result: a new culture of love
63、-letter writing has evolved and is rewriting the rules of how we express our love.Make no mistake: in many cases email love letters significantly resemble their ancestors. The verbal imagery has hardly changed. Experts believe, in fact, that far more people now carry out sweet talk in cyberspace tha
64、n in the time before email came along. When people use email, everything is more relaxed, and less curious. This helps the sweet words flow.Nicola Doering, a media researcher, emphasizes that for many people contact over email is simpler: The language is different in traditional letters; people tend
65、 to write more like they speak. This means that sometimes less thought goes into an email than a traditional love letter. Emails are more casual. This is obviously encouraging for many people.But for romantic emails, writers reach back to the language of poetry. Your clear-blue eyes is typical of th
66、e kind of phrase found in love letters. Moreover, at least one traditional symbol between lovers has made an outstanding comeback. Even in the love letters of the 19th century, one often found the letter X as a symbol of a kiss. Many paper love letters would have three Xs at the bottom as closing. A
67、nd this symbol is often used today between lovers in their email messages.In spite of all the technological advancement that email represents, classic love letters on paper still have a special meaning, the experts say. Ink on paper simply affects many people more strongly than lines on a computer s
68、creen. It appears more serious, more permanent, as if written for all time. Sometimes people want to have something to touch, a letter that you can hold in your hand is obviously better than an email.But Internet technology is ready to help even those with the courage to write a classic handwritten
69、love letter. What stops many lovers from penning their most romantic thoughts is not a lack of good intentions but an inability to piece together a few sweet lines, says Thomas Neuss, the organizer of one Internet site devoted to romantic letters.72. The author strongly believes that _.A. email love
70、 letters are more significant than traditional onesB. email love letters are more convenient than traditional onesC. most email love letters copy sweet words from traditional onesD. most email love letters are quite similar to traditional ones73. In the second paragraph, the term verbal imagery refe
71、rs to _.A. the oral work B. the sweet words C. the verb form D. their ancestor74. Which of the following is NOT the authors opinion on traditional love letters?A. They have a better effect. B. They arent out of date.C. They are more reliable. D. They are more romantic.75. By showing that the letter
72、X is popular in email love letters, the author intends to tell us_.A. many people like using letters to express their loveB. traditional symbol between lovers has been popularC. the romantic expression is also employed in emailsD. the language in email love letters becomes simpler 第四部分：写作(共两节，满分35分)

Tens of thousands of Chinese middle school student
78、s have gone abroad. In my opinion, there are many advantages to attending school abroad. First, students who have studied abroad can act as mediator between people of different cultures. Second, there is so much to learn about science and technology in foreign countries. Third, we can learn foreign
79、languages more quickly. However, there are also some disadvantages. Many students are too young to take care of themselves. Being far away home can make you feel lonely and home sick. Also, of course its more expensive abroad than at home. Whats worse, without any experience of living abroad, its easy for them to make bad friends and be influenced to do stupid things. In a word, think it over before you make your decision.
