将该项涂黑。
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 wanted 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(空闲), 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, our minutes. It is so 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 as it ought to be lived.

On June 5, 1981 the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, U.S. announced the presence of a rare, infectious disease in five American homosexuals(同性恋). Soon doctors were finding similar cases all over the country and the world. The AIDS epidemic(流行病)had officially begun. By 1983 it was clear that AIDS had spread around the world. More than twenty years later, AIDS has left twenty-six million dead and another forty million infected. AIDS has become the worst medical disaster ever experienced by mankind.
Hundreds of young people between the ages of 20 and 45 died each week during the early years of the U.S. AIDS. More than 600,000 cases of AIDS have been reported since 1981 in the United States, and it is estimated that there may be as many as 900,000 Americans infected with HIV.
Though the rate of HIV infections continues to increase in the United States, the number of AIDS cases has fallen sharply since 1996, when antiretroviral drugs came onto the market. Unfortunately, the AIDS epidemic continues today in Africa and much of Asia, where antiretroviral treatment is not available and health care is far from enough. AIDS is the fourth leading cause of death worldwide, and the No. 1 cause of death due to infectious disease.
HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, was first separated in 1983 by a team at the Pasteur Institute in Paris. That discovery made it possible to develop a test for AIDS and trace back to victims who may have died before doctors were aware of the disease.
However, scientists still don't know exactly how and where AIDS started. Finding the source of AIDS could be important in developing a vaccine(疫苗) and be important in mapping the future course of the epidemic.
51. It can be inferred from the passage that
A. antiretroviral drugs will be obtained easily all over the world
B. the best way to stop AIDS is to develop a vaccine
B. scientists will soon find a way to cure AIDS
D. there will be fewer AIDS cases in the world in the future
52. Which areas are the most worrying places where AIDS spreads quickly?
A. Africa. B. Asia. C. The United States. D. France.
53. The number of AIDS cases has greatly decreased in the United States due to the fact
A. a team at the Pasteur Institute in Paris succeeded in separating HIV
B. some effective medicine has been invented
B. scientists understand AIDS better and better.
D. The rate of HIV infections continue to rise in the United States
54. What's the importance of the discovery of the source of AIDS?
A. It can be used to develop a test for AIDS.
B. It can stop HIV forming AIDS.
B. It can reduce the rate of death caused by AIDS.
D. It can help develop a drug to prevent AIDS.
55. When did the name of AIDS come into being?
A. In 1983. B. In 1981. C. In 1996. D. In 1994.
C
"S. H.E. is going to sing at the CCTV annual Spring Festival Evening Party, is that true?" cried out Peng Weiye, a Senior 2 girl in Shanghai and die-hard S. H.E. fan.
After checking it on the Internet, Peng quickly phoned friends to spread the news. For fans like her, S. H. E. Is performance is perhaps the only part of the old fashioned evening to get excited about.
The Taiwanese band is made up of Selina, Hebe and Ella. Their name comes from the
first letter of each of the singers' English names.
Last week S. H. E. announced they would perform in Las Vegas, US, over Christmas and then in Guangzhou on January 15.
At their Shanghai show on October 30, hundreds of parents waited outside the Hongkou Stadium. Inside, thousands of teenagers sang, cried and shouted as the band performed.
"I love their music, healthy image and everything related to them. Thank God that, although my parents don't understand why I love them so much, they still bought me a ticket for that show," said Peng about the Shanghai performance.
It is not just on the mainland that the three girls have made audiences much excited. In the past year the band has passed through Taiwan, Hong Kong and even Singapore and Malaysia.
When the three high school girls entered a singing contest in Taiwan in 2000, none of them ever dreamed of being a superstar. "We had never met before, and we didn't talk at all at the beginning," recalled Ella.
When asked about the secret of their success, she said, "Our average looks and not-so-expensive clothes keep us close to our fans. We are happy to be the girls next door, your singing sisters."
"It's really a magical journey, from day-dreaming high school girls to singers performing on the same stage as our idols(偶像). Nothing but magical," she said.
56. Why was Peng Weiye, a Senior 2 girl, so excited?
A. S.H.E. band will get the old fashioned evening exciting.
B. S. H.E. will perform in Las Vegas over Christmas.
C. Her parents bought her a ticket for S. H. E. Is Shanghai show.
D. S. H.E. will perform on the CCTV Spring Festival Evening Party.
57. How did the Taiwanese band get the name?
A. Their fans gave the name to them.
B. Their idols had a deep influence on them.
C. A singing contest gave their idea of the band name.
D. The first letters of Selina, Hebe and Ella form the band name.
58. What do you know about Peng Weiye?
A. she stayed outside the Hongkou Stadium to listen to S. H. E. 's performance.
B. She will watch the performance in Guangzhou on January 15.
C. She pays close attention to everything about S. H. E.
D. She was grateful that her parents understood and supported her.
59. Which is true about S. H. E. ?
A. The secret to their success is their pretty faces and lovely clothes.
B. They were close friends when they entered a singing contest.
C. They caused a storm of excitement in Southeast Asia.
D. They have well prepared to perform with their idols.
60. Which do you think is NOT the reason for S. H. E’s popularity among their fans?
A. Their music and their healthy image.
B. They can make audience much excited.
C. Their success meets their fans’ day dream of becoming others’ idols.
D. Their average looks and not-so-expensive clothes keep them close to their fans.

Basic writing (possible version)
Our school lies at the foot of a mountain with a river passing by. There used to be many green trees and all kinds of flowers in our school all the year round. It looked like a beautiful garden and was a nice place for us to study in, but everything has changed since a chemical works was built near our school a year ago. Every day it produces a lot of waste water and harmful gases. The terrible pollution has done great harm to our health and the great noise from the factory has greatly affected our teaching and studying activities.
Task writing(possible version)
On October 30, S. H. E gave an exciting performance in the Hongkou stadium. The band is planning to perform in Las Vegas, U. S. A and then in Guangzhou on January 15. Later, they are going to sing at the CCTV annual Spring Festival, which will definitely arouse a new round of star-chasing. Wherever they go, their fans turn out to greet them wildly.
However, is it right that the stars should be rewarded in this way? Most people, especially educators, have no taste for it. While others, especially teenagers, extremely consider it worthwhile to admire their "stars", whose images are so close to them and easy to imitate.
In my opinion, it is all right for the teens to look up upon their favorite "stars", but going too far is another problem. On one hand, fans may spend more money than they can afford buying their idols’ CDs, or movie tickets, or seeing their concerts. On the other hand, being too crazy about certain "stars" may make the fans concentrate on nothing else but the idols. Therefore, we should hold a proper attitude towards the "stars".
