阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从36-55各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出一个最佳选项。
A true apology is more than just acknowledgement(承认) of a mistake. It’s recognition that something you’ve said or 36 has damaged a relationship -- and that you 37 enough about that relationship to want it 38 .
It’s never 39 to acknowledge you are in the wrong. Being human, we all need the art of apology. Look back and think how 40 you’ve judged roughly, said 41 things, pushed yourself 42 at the expense of a friend. Some deep thought in us knows that when 43 a small mistake has been made, your 44 will stay out of balance until the mistake is acknowledged and regret 45 .
I remember a doctor friend, 46 me about a man who came to him with 47__ illnesses: headache, insomnia(失眠症), stomachaches and so on. No physical 48 could be found. Finally the doctor said to the man, “ 49 you tell me what’s on your conscience(良心), I can’t help you.”
After a short silence the man told the doctor that he 50 all the money that his father gave to his brother, who was 51 . His father had died, so only he himself knew the matter. The old doctor made the man write to his brother making an 52 and enclosing(附寄) a __53 __. In the post office, the man dropped the letter into the mailbox.

第三部分：阅读理解 （共20小题：每题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、D和E）中选出最佳选项。
A
Dear Editor,
I’ve heard that original(原作) English books on some of our major subjects will be used next term.
It’s good news because we will learn something up-to-date from these books and improve our reading comprehension as well.
Using English textbooks is a tendency (趋向) nowadays. Some first class universities such as Beida and Qinghua are doing so. As a result, it will be easy and natural for students to pass the CET-4 even CET-6 of course, it may be a great challenge(挑战) for some students who are poor in English, but what I’m thinking about is the possibility of implementing (贯彻) this plan. As we know, it requires teachers to teach in two languages---Chinese and English.
However, few teachers in our college have this ability. Many can’t express their ideas in English, not to mention speak English fluently . This situation makes us frustrated (灰心) . When all the students are ready, what about our teachers?
Zhang Xing, Hunan
56. From the passage, we know that______.
A. original English books will be used next term in some universities
B. some major subjects will be taught mostly in English with original English books next term
C. some students who are not good at English are against this plan
D. Beida and Qinghua will also carry it out next term
57. Using English textbooks will make some students _____.
a. learn something up-to- date
b. improve their reading skills

d. give up a good chance of further education

58.The phrase “up-to-date” in the second paragraph means______.
A. modern B. fashion C. popular D. until now
59. What the author is concerned with (关心）is_______.
A. some students will not follow the teachers

D. the university entrance examination will be harder

An old Indian story says that the game of chess (国际象棋)was invented by Sissa Ben, Prime Minister of King Shirham. As soon as the invention was finished he gave it to the king, who was glad and asked him what he would like to have in return. To the king’s
------ 5------
surprise, what Sissa wanted seemed very little. “ Your Majesty,” said the minister, kneeling in front of the king. “I want nothing but some wheat. Please put a grain of wheat on the first square of the chessboard(棋盘)， two on the second, four on the third, eight on the fourth… and so on, doubling the number for each following square, give me enough grains to cover the 64 squares of the chessboard.”
“You don’t ask for much, my honest servant. You might have asked for gold or money,” said the king and then ordered a bag of wheat brought to the palace.
But when the counting began, with one grain for the first square, two for the second, four for the third, and so on, the bag was emptied before the 20th square. More bags were brought, but the number of grain needed for the following squares increased so rapidly that the king soon realized that he was not able to keep his promise even with all the crops in the whole India! In fact, he would have needed 8,466,744,073,909,511,615 grains, which would be as much as that they would produce in about 2,000 years.
Now the king found himself deep in debt to his minister. He had either to face the terrible trouble all his life or to cut off Sissa’s head, which it is said, he finally chose.
60. According to the story, the game of chess was invented by an ________.
A. American Indian B. ancient Indian official
C. Indian king D. Indian officer
61. A bag of wheat was enough for _____.
A. 19 squares B. one third of the squares C. the first 19 squares D. 20 squares
62. The following pictures show a part of the chessboard. Which one can correctly show the way in which Sissa had the grains of wheat put on it?
A
D
C

Trees should only be pruned(修剪)when there is a good and clear reason for doing so. First, pruning may be done to be sure that trees have a desired shape or size. The object may be to get a tree of the right height, and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut out diseased or dead wood, or branches that are rubbing against(碰)each other and thus causing wounds. The health of a tree may be
---- 9-----
encouraged by removing branches that are blocking up the center and so preventing the tree movement of air.
One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy entry for disease, but it is a wound that will recover. Often there is a race between the recovery and the disease as to whether the tree will live or die, so that there is a period when the tree is in danger. It should be the aim of every gardener to reduce that risk（冒险）of death as far as possible. It is possible. It is necessary to make the area which has been pruned smooth and clean, for recovering will be slowed down by roughness. You should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hours and then paint it with one of the substances（物质）produced especially for the purpose. Pruning is usually done in winter, for then you can see the shape of the tree clearly without interference( 阻挠) from the leaves and it is, too. very unlikely that the cuts you make will bleed. If this does happen, it is of course, impossible to paint them properly.
71. pruning should be done to ______.
A. make the small branches thicker
B. make the tree grow taller
C. improve the shape of the tree
D. get rid of the small branches
72. Trees get unhealthy if the gardener ______.
A. allows too many branches to grow in the middle
B. forces them to grow too quickly
C. hurts some of the small side branches
D. does not protect them from the wind
73. Gardeners put a special substance on the tree to ______.
A. make a wound smooth B. prevent disease entering a wound
C. help a wound to dry D. cover a rough surface
74. A good gardener prunes a tree_____.
A. as quickly as possible B. regularly every year
B. at intervals(隔时)throughout the year D. occasionally when necessary
75. What was the author’s purpose when writing this passage? he wanted_____.
A. to explain how trees develop diseases
B. to give a general description of pruning
C. to give practical instructions for pruning a tree
D. to discuss different methods of pruning

Mount Baiyun is a place of interest. There are lots of tourists seeing the sights every day. Years ago, some of the tourists paid no attention to environmental protection. They threw waste such as waste paper, plastic bags and tins everywhere. Besides, some of them killed animals, caught birds, cut down trees and picked flowers. What was worse, they made fires to cook in the forest. Now great changes have taken place. When tourists leave, they take rubbish away with them. They no longer hunt animals Plants are also well protected. People carry their lunch so as not to start forest fires. Mount Baiyun has taken on a new look.
