In 1956 Phoenix, Arizona, was a city with boundless blue skies. One day as 1walked around the house with my sister Kathy’s new parakeet (小鹦鹉)on my finger, I wanted to show Perky 21 the sky looked like. Maybe he could make a little bird 22 out there. I took him into the backyard, and then, to my 23 , Perky flew off. The enormous(巨大的), blue sky swallowed up my sister’s blue 24 and suddenly he had gone , clipped wings and all.
Kathy managed to 25 me. With fake optimism(乐观), she even tried to reassure (安慰)me that Perky would find a new 26 . But I was far too clever to 27 that such a thing was possible.

"The best thing 34 Sweetie Pie," he said, "was the 35 we got him. One day, when I was about eight, out of the clear, blue sky, a little blue parakeet just 36 down and landed on my finger."
When I was finally able to 37 , we examined the amazing evidence(证据). The dates and the locations and the pictures of the bird all 38 . It seems our two families had been 39 long before we ever met. Forty years later, I ran to my sister and said, "You were 40 ! Perky lived!"

III. 阅读理解(共20小题,满分40分)
A
I was 9 years when I found out my father was ill. It was 1994, but I can remember my mother’s words as if it were yesterday: “Kernel, I don’t want you to take food from your father, because he has AIDS. Be very careful when you are around him.”
AIDS wasn’t something we talked about in my country when I was growing up. From then on, I knew that this would be a family secret. My parents were not together any more, and my dad lived alone. For a while, he could take care of himself. But when I was 12, his condition worsened. My father’s other children lived far away, so it fell to me to look after him.
We couldn’t afford all the necessary medication for him, and because Dad was unable to work. I would sit in class feeling completely lost, the teacher’s words muffled as I tried to figure out how I was going to manage.
I did not share my burden with anyone. I had seen how people reacted to AIDS. Kids laughed at classmates who had parents with the disease. And even adults could be cruel. When my father was moved to the hospital, the nurses would leave his food on the bedside table even though he was too weak to feed himself.
I had known that he was going to die, but after so many years of keeping his condition a secret, I was completely unprepared when he reached his final days. Sad and hopeless, I called a woman at the nonprofit National AIDS Support. That day, she kept me on the phone for hours. I was so lucky to find someone who cared. She saved my life.
I was 15 when my father died. He took his secret away with him, having never spoken about AIDS to anyone, even me. He didn’t want to call attention to AIDS. I do.
41. What does Kernel tell us about her father?
A. He had stayed in the hospital since he fell ill. B. He depended on the nurses in his final days.
C. He worked hard to pay for his medication. D. He told no one about his disease.
42. What can we learn from the underlined sentence?
A. Kernel couldn’t understand her teacher.
B. Kernel had special difficulty in hearing.
C. Kernel was too troubled to focus on the lesson.
D. Kernel was too tired to hear her teacher’s words.
43. Why did Kernel keep her father’s disease a secret?
A. She was afraid of being looked down upon. B. She thought it was shameful to have AIDS.
C. She found no one willing to listen to her. D. She wanted to obey her mother.
44. Why did Kernel write the passage?
A. To tell people about the sufferings of her father.
B. To show how little people knew about AIDS.
C. To draw people’s attention to AIDS.
D. To remember her father.
B
Scientific experiments can sometimes go wrong and when they do the results may range from the disastrous to the troubling. One such experiment took place in South America about fifty years ago. Whether its final consequences will cause serious damage or nothing more than a small trouble still remains to be seen.
The story began in 1956 when an American scientist working in Brazil decided to solve the problem of increasing the productivity of that country's bees. He imported a very active type of African bee from Tanzania and mated it with the more easy-going native variety to produce a new kind of bees. The new bees worked harder and produced twice as much honey. It seemed that Professor Kerr, for that was the scientist's name, had a total success on his hands.
Then things began to go wrong. For some reason as yet unseen, but perhaps as a result of something in their environment, the new bees began to develop extremely attacking personalities. They became bad-tempered and easy to be angry, attacked the native bees and drove them from their living places.
But worse was to follow. Having taken over the countryside, the new bees, with their dangerous stings (叮) , began to attack its neighbors —cats, dogs, horses, chickens and finally man himself. A long period of terror began that has so far killed a great number of animals and about 150 human beings.
This would have been bad enough if the bees had stayed in Brazil. But now they are on the move, heading northwards in countless millions towards Central and North America, and moving at the alarming speed of 200 miles a year. The countries that lie in their path are naturally worried because it looks as if nothing can be done to stop them.
45. The results of the South American experiment .
A. have caused a serious trouble B. have proved to be wrong
C. are not yet certain D. are not important
46. The experiment mentioned in this passage was designed to .
A. increase the amount of honey in Brazil B. make Brazilian bees more easy-going
C. increase the number of bees in Brazil D. make African bees less active
47. Which of the following may be the cause of the new bees' attacking personalities?
A. Their production of honey. B. Their hard work.
C. Their living environment. D. Their bad temper.
48. The last paragraph implies that .
A. the bees have been driven to Central and North America
B. the bees may bring about trouble in more countries
C. the bees must be stopped from moving north
D. the bees prefer to live in Brazil
C.
These days, if you still think the cell phone is just for talking, you’ll get laughed at. Yes, it’s true, voice-only handsets have become out of date. Today’s do-it-all mobiles have a lot in common with the computer. The only difference may be that they fit in your pocket and you pay by the minute to use them. Some of the things a cell phone can do for you will be available this year:
Surf at speed
Cell phones that let you use the Web have been around for years. So, what’s new? Well, faster third-generation (3G) networks that let you surf at anywhere. This then allows a carrier to send video, music, and games to your phone. Possible choices are from LG Electronics VX 8000 and Motorola V1150.
Listen as you go
The problem with most cell phone MP3 players is that they hold only a handful of songs. But, that’s about to change. Sony Ericsson’s new W800i can hold around 150 songs in its 500 MB memory. And Samsung’s SPH-V5400 even comes with a 1.5 GB hard drive. Mobile phones may eventually replace mini-MP3 players, especially for teens.
Say cheese
Camera cell phones are not new either. But, most of them have limitations: around 1-megapixel (百万像素). But new technology has made 2-megapixel units more common, and 3-megapixel units are showing up soon. Some 2-megapixel models, like Sony Ericsson’s K750i, offer limited zoom and focus controls. Others, like LG’s recent A7110, can even capture 30 minutes of full-motion video.
Portable TV
You say you like “watching TV”? That’s what Samsung MM-A700 wants to give you. The new model lets users watch popular TV programmes — for a fee. Other choices are Nokia’s 6620, Sanyo’s MM7400 and NEC’s N940. The NEC model lets you watch public TV — no fee.
The above are just a handful of what you’ll see in the coming months. Further down the road, your mobile phone may play a host of other roles, such as mobile credit card, position locator .... So what is there that a cell phone can’t do?
49. Which of the following models should you choose to listen to the music?
A. Samsung’s SPH-V5400 and Nokia’s 6620.
B. Sony Ericsson’s W800i and Samsung’s SPH-V5400.
C. Sony Ericsson’s W800i and NEC’s N940.
D. Sanyo’s MM7400 and NEC’s N940.
50. What’s the difference between NEC’s N940 and other models?
A. It allows you to surf the Internet at a high speed.
B. It can capture 30 minutes of full-motion video.
C. It can hold as many as 150 songs.
D. It lets you watch public TV for free.
51. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. All the functions of the models mentioned in the passage are completely new.
B. Camera cellphones of 3-megapixel units will appear soon.
C. It is certain that a cellphone can do anything in the near future.
D. Today’s do-it-all mobiles have nothing in common with the computer.
52. This passage may be ________.
A. an introduction to some new models of cellphones
B. an advertisement trying to persuade you to buy new cellphones
C. a science fiction trying to attract readers’ attention
D. a survey to find the development of cellphones
D
To explain why he liked his art teacher the best, 16-year-old Dainzin Tanam could not write more words than a simple sentence “Because he teaches me painting.”
In the eyes of his teachers at the Lhasa Special Education School, the deaf boy was a little painter. Five years ago, however, all Tanam could do was to stay in bed until noon, and then stare at the sky through the window, waiting for his parents' return.
His mother Yangzom said she had no other choice but to lock him in the house every day as she and her husband had to work and they did not want to allow the boy to roam(闲逛) the streets.
“Every day when I came back home and saw my lonely poor son, I felt my heart hurt. But now I can finally feel a bit relieved,” the mother said. She said it was the school that changed his son. “Without the school, I dared not imagine how my son would be now.”
With a governmental fund of 4.5 million yuan, the special education school was founded in 2000. The only government-run school for handicapped children in Tibet, it now has 28 teachers and 120 school children in nine classes of 5 grades. Eight classes in the school are for deaf kids and the other one is for blind kids.
Students can enjoy free food, boarding, clothing and medical services in the school, which is open to deaf and blind children from all over the autonomous region.
Tibetan sign language and Tibetan braille are basic courses here. Children also have Tibetan, Chinese, mathematics, science, painting, dancing and sports lessons.
A “black and white” textbook seemed appealing among the colorful books in Tanam's schoolbag. The text was handwritten.
It was the Tibetan language textbook compiled and written by teachers themselves.
“As textbooks for students in ordinary schools sometimes are too abstract and hard for our kids to understand, two other Tibetan language teachers and I compiled the textbook to make things easier for them,” said teacher Dawa.
Those books with the love of all the teachers, though not spoke out, will surely help children enjoy their life by supporting themselves after leaving the school.
53. How old was the Dainzin Tanam when he began to go to the Lhasa Special Education School?
A. 16 years old B. 11 years old C. 21 years old D. 5years old
54. What is the parents’ feeling about the special school?
A. relieved B. excited C. grateful D. lighthearted
55. Who wrote the “black and white” textbooks for the children?
A. Dawa B. The teachers in the special school
C. Dawa and another two teachers D. nobody but sent by the government
56. We can infer from the text ____.
A. most of the handicapped children in this school are from poor families.
B. the students are of the same age in the Lhasa Special Education School.
C. the teachers made up textbooks for the students to study more easily.
D.the education received from the school will have a great effect on the children’s future life.

There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.
People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things. The pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine, the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (hurt)many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing (批评)and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation(模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact (接触)with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.
57.The underlined phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means________.
A. have a good taste with social life B. make others unhappy
C. tend to scold others openly D. enjoy the pleasure of life
58.We can conclude from the passage that________.
A. we should pity all such unhappy people
B. such unhappy people are dangerous to social life
B. people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness
D. unhappy people can not understand happy persons
59.If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit , the author suggests that people should ____.
A. prevent any communication with them
B. show no respect and politeness to them
C. persuade them to recognize the bad effects
D. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes
60.In this passage, the writer mainly________.
A. describes two types of people B. laughs at the unhappy people
C. suggests ways to help the unhappy D. tells people how to be happy in life

Possible version:
Nowadays a lot of schools keep their students in school all day long. Students have different opinions about it. Some of the students think they enjoy less freedom and have little chance to get in touch with society. They are not able to fully develop their interests and hobbies. Therefore, they have lest interest in their studies.
Some others think school is the best place to get knowledge so they should put their heart into their lessons. Some students lack the ability to control themselves. Once out of school, they may lose control of themselves and do something that will influence/affect their studies.
Personally I think, it is necessary to keep students at school. But at the same time schools should organize various activities so that students can enjoy their school life.(I don’t agree to keep students at school all day. Schools should offer students more free time to develop their personal interests.
