You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?

Jane Addams (1860-1935)

Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community (社区) by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.

Rachel Carson (1907-1964)

If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.

Sandra Day O’Connor (1930-present)

When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman.

Rosa Parks (1913-2005)

On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rasa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott.

LONDON—British Foreign Secretary David Miliband said on Wednesday that boycotting the Beijing Olympic Games is not the right path to take.

“We are ever excited about prospects for the Summer Olympic Games in Beijing,” Miliband said in an interview with Chinese reporters in London before his visit to China.

“Everything we have seen and read suggests that preparations are proceeding in an excellent way. We very much look forward to a very successful Olympics, successful for China and successful for the world. We certainly believe that boycotts are not a right way,” he said.

“China has big responsibilities around the world. We are looking forward to working with the Chinese government to ensure the values of stability, security and social justice. And only today I spoke with (Chinese Foreign Minister) Yang about our joint work that could help the situation in Darfur. And the Chinese envoy (特使) to Darfur is in London today, that sort of engagement is the right way to go and boycotts are not the right way,” Miliband said.

“The prime minister (Gordon Brown) is determined to represent the whole of the country with his attendance to the Games,” he added.

Miliband expressed his high regard to the bilateral (双边的) relations between Britain and China. “I can’t think about a time that our relations are stronger, that is symbolized by the visit of the prime minister to China last month but also by cultural events like China now going on in Britain.”

British people are fascinated by the changes and improvements going on in China, and are trying to build bridges between the two nations, the foreign secretary said.

“Both our countries are challenged by the facts of globalization. Economic and social changes are producing challenges for both the societies, challenges about security and stability, challenges about justice, challenges about environment, and the theme of my visit is how our two countries can work together and learn from each other in adapting to these challenges,” the secretary told Chinese reporters.

25. According to the British Foreign Secretary, the right way to deal with China is ________.

A. to boycott the Beijing Olympic Games

B. to support the Beijing Olympic Games

C. to send the Prime Minister to attend the Beijing Olympic Games

D. to work together with China

26. In the last paragraph，the foreign secretary wants to tell us that ________.

A. Globalization is a challenge

B. Both countries face many different challenges

C. Britain wants to work together with China to face challenges

D. Britain wants to learn from China to face challenges

27. The best title of this passage is ________.

A. China and Britain enjoy a good relationship

B. Boycotts of Olympics are not the right path

C. Beijing Olympic Games will be successful

D. Foreign Secretary speaks highly of China

C

A friend of mine met with an accident driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn’t move. What was the worst was that he found himself unable to ask for help—his mobile phone went out of work. Nothing could be done but to wait in cold wilderness. 8 hours later, day broke, and then the rescue arrived.

It is almost unimaginable that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long Even more surprising was his explanation: “First of all I checked up my physical conditions and found myself not in fatal danger. As there was no way to call for help, I leaned back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from bleeding. In this way I dozed (打盹) off.”

His story put an end to my regret for the failure of an exploration adventure that happened last year. A group of young men tried to explore a mountain cave and got lost. Unable to find a way out in the dark cave they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of direction. Finally they fell dead in fear and exhaustion. The place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the opening of the cave! If they tried to calm themselves, they would probably sense a faint light shining not far away.

Don’t you think that you can compare it with life itself? When you meet with obstacles (障碍) in life and work, you are lost in darkness. Mind you it’s unclear yet and you needn’t put up struggle immediately. But a person who can afford to do so must have foresight as well as a great courage.

28. What was the greatest trouble for the writer’s friend?

A. It was very dark.  B. He was hurt and couldn’t move.

C. He couldn’t get help with his mobile phone. D. It was very cold.

29. What did the writer’s friend do when he was waiting for help?

A. He checked his physical conditions. B. He tried to keep his wound from bleeding.

C. He slept for a while.  D. All the above.

30. How did the writer’s friend feel when he was waiting for help?

A. Horrible. B. Worried. C. Angry. D. Calm.

31. What can we learn from the story?

A. No matter what happens, all want to cool and calm.

B. Hard work paid off.

C. Kill two birds with one stone.

D. No pains, no gains

D

How I Turned to Be Optimistic

I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt’s house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.

I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.

The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times.”

My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.

From my experiences I have learned one important rule: almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.

32. How did the author get to know America?

A. From her relatives  B. From her mother

C. From books and pictures D. From radio programs

33. Upon leaving for America the author felt ________.

A. confused B. excited C. worried D. amazed

34. For the first two years in New York, the author ________.

A. often lost her way  B. did not think about her future

C. studied in three different schools D. got on well with her stepfather

35. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 4?

A. She worked as a translator B. She attended a lot of job interviews

C. She paid telephone bills for her family D. She helped her family with her English

第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

We’re directly affected by our environment. When the rising temperature or the bitter cold is the first thing on your mind, it might be hard to discuss anything else. However, as a matter of fact, you needn’t have worried so much about this.   36   However, there are ways to change the activity into a meaningful moment between two people.

1.   37 

Talking about shared interests is the easiest way to make a connection with someone-and more personal talking about the weather. When you start a conversation with someone, try searching for pieces of information that you can connect to.

2. Don’t ask someone what they do.

When speaking with someone for the first time, work is always one of our topics. But wanting to know what someone does for a living may kill our conversations.   38   When it comes to small talk, try avoiding jobs and discovering general interests instead.

3. Enjoy the silence.

No one likes a long stop-but most silent moments between topics aren’t as long as you think they are.   39   Sometimes stops are needed in order to continue a conversation. Remember that if you say something, the other person may need to think about it, so enjoy the silence.

4. Look at your conversation as a learning experience.

Different people have different thoughts, ideas and feelings. Ask someone about a topic they’ re familiar with that you know nothing about. Every time you meet someone new-or even speak with someone you know-it’s an opportunity to learn something.   40   You can expand your knowledge of other areas, cultures and nations.

A. Search for common interests.

B. Keep your introduction simple.

C. Small talk may not be pleasant.

D. In fact, a little quiet can be a good thing.

E. It’ll benefit you more than you may realize.

F. Making small talk is an art that can be mastered.

G. It may send the signal that the most important part about us is our job.

Thanks to my conservative (保守的) family background, I didn’t believe in angels (天使). That is, not until Christmas Eve of 1979, when an angel brought unexpected joy to my home.

After divorce, my two daughters not only lost the safety of a whole family, they also tearfully (泪汪汪地) left behind neighborhood friends, a familiar school, and a large house. These had all been replaced with a narrow two-bedroom apartment in a poorer part of town.

I arranged to take my vacation during my children’s winter holiday. We spent evenings planning activities: games, a pizza night, and evening car rides to view neighborhood holiday lights With expectation, they seemed to be in good spirits.

The week before the school break, however, I was fired because of the company’s poor performance. By Christmas Eve, sadness covered our vacation plans. An afternoon outing did little to improve our mood.

On returning to our apartment, we were astonished to see a beautiful, six-foot Christmas tree propped (支撑) against our front door. In silent wonder, we looked back and forth, from the tree to one another and around the empty street. Excitement built, and the girls begged to keep the tree.

“Maybe it’s for us,” my older daughter guessed.

“Yeah,” repeated my younger child, “I bet an angel brought it to us!”

I laughed aloud at the idea of an angel bringing a Christmas tree to my family. Caught up in their happiness, I announced the tree “ours”.

We moved it inside and headed out to the only supermarkets in our small town open that late on Christmas Eve. With holiday goods down to half price, I agreed to buy a tree stand (底座), two boxes of colorful balls, some colorful lights, and one paper angel.

Dear classmates,

I notice that most of us spend the ten-minute break reading books or working on problems. I don’t think it is wise to do so. Here are my opinions on how to spend the ten-minute break.

Personally, the ten-minute break is designed for us to relax our brains and stretch our muscles so that we can keep our attention focused on our lessons during the next period. So it is a good idea to stand up and move around in the classroom. And we can also look out of the windows to let our eyes have a rest. Besides, having a small talk with others can also make us relaxed.

In conclusion, the ten-minute break is very important because it can make us refreshed.

That’s all. Thank you.
