I never saw my father take a day off work because he was sick, nor did I ever see my father lie down to take a nap. He had no hobbies, except for taking care of his family.For 22 years, since I left home for college, my father called me every Sunday. He was always interested in my life, how my family was doing, and I never once heard him complain about his life.Nine years ago when I bought my first house, my father, who was 67 years old, spent three days painting it. All he asked for was a glass of iced tea and that I hold a paint brush for him and talk to him. But I was too busy and I could not take the time to hold the paint brush or talk to my father.Five years ago, my father spent five hours putting together a swing set for my daughter. Again, all he asked for was that I get him a glass of iced tea and talk to him. But again, I had laundry to do, and the house to clean.On January 16, 1996, my father called me as usual. I had to get to church, and I cut the conversation short. Then at 4:40 p.m. that day there was another call. My father was in the hospital in Florida. I got on an airplane immediately. On the way, I vowed that I would make up for the lost time and have a nice long talk with him.I arrived in Florida at 1 a.m. My father had passed away at 9:12 p.m. This time it was he who did not have time to talk, or time to wait for me.19. When painting the house, the father asked the writer to hold a paint brush because _____________.A. he just wanted to teach his child to paintB. he wanted to finish the work soon.C. he wanted to have a talk with his childD. he was too old to work by himself20. When the father was old, the writer _____________.A. had little money to raise himB. didn't often talk with himC. didn't want to look after himD. missed him very much21. The underlined phrase "passed away" means _____________.A. gave away    B.ran off    C.left     D.died22. From the passage we know that the writer felt _____________ for not spending enough time with her father.A. angry       B.surprised      C.sorry         D.excitedCMany people say that they are working too many hours. They don't have enough time to relax or to stay with their family.Working hours are different from one country to another. In France, people spend about 1, 646 hours a year at work. In Japan, however, people work about 2, 159 hours a year.Why do people work so many hours? Some people work extra hours because they want to make more money. However, many companies don't pay overtime. Their workers don't get more pay for more work. Some people think it's their duty to work more hours. Some are afraid of losing their jobs if they don't work more hours.Many people say that their vacations are too short. In France, people get five weeks of paid vacation a year. In Germany, they get four to six weeks, and in the United States, two weeks. One study shows fewer than half of workers use all their vacation days. In Great Britain, there is a saying, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull (迟钝的) boy." If that is true, there must be a lot of dull people in the world.23. A Japanese worker works _____________ more hours a year than a French one.A.513       B.1,646       C.2,519       D.3,80524. The word "extra" in Paragraph 3 means "_____________".A正常的    B.额外的    C.有用的     D.少量的25. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. No companies offer vacations to their workers.B. Many people say they have enough time to relaxC. Not all companies pay their workers for more work.D. More than half of workers use all their vacation days.26. What can we infer from the passage?A. Many workers have to work long hours.B. Many people have vacations long enough.C. Working hours are the same around the world.D. There are a lot of dull people in the world.D"Life is speeding up. Everyone is getting unwell."This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unknown person who lived in Rome in AD 53 wrote it.We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives. But have all these developments really improved our lives?Picture this. You're rushing to finish your homework on the 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 happy do you feel?Inventions 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 live simpler lives.One family in the UK went "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, "The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes." The boys said they fought less. Probably, they said, because there was less to fight over, such as their computer. Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being a "trendy, beer-drinking granny", to one who cooked things.27.The writer uses the quote (引号) at the beginning of the story to_____________.A. tell us a truth about our lives nowB. tell us what life was like long time agoC. point out what causes such a thing to happenD. point out some problems we will meet in the future28. In the passage the writer describes a picture to show that new inventions _____________.A. speed up our lives                      B.improve our livesC. may make people feel very happy        D. may bring people some trouble29. The family chose to spend some time in a 1940s house because _____________.A. they loved to live simple livesB. they wanted to know how people lived without modern inventionsC. they were troubled by modern inventionsD. living in a different time would be a lot of fun for them30. The passage is mainly about_____________.A. problems with inventionsB. improvements of our lives with inventionsC.changes happening to inventionsD. the importance of inventions第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）下面文章中有五处（第31-35题）需要添加首句。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出符合各段意思的小标题，选项中有一项是多余选项，A. How to speak good EnglishB. How to put English grammar to useC. How to master English wordsD. How to improve English reading skillsE. How to realize the importance of EnglishF. How to get interested in English31._____________The most difficult thing about learning English is to remember new words. I study the words and remember them, but a week later I have forgotten most of them. When reading something in English, I always get into trouble when I come across a new word. There must be a better way to learn new words.32._____________I have been studying English for so long now, but I don't enjoy it any more. I used to like it, but now I feel that I'm not making any progress, I'm just not motivated any more. I wish there was something I could do to make me interested in studying English again._____________I wish I could improve my spoken English. Every time when I take part in a group discussion or try to speak English to someone, I find it difficult to express myself. I don't know what to say and I can't think of the words I need.34._____________I don't like English at all. Why do we have to study English? I'd rather spend more time on math and science, because I think those subjects are more important.35._____________I think it is easy to remember new grammar rules. But when writing something, I always make a lot of mistakes. How can I learn to use the rules that I have?第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分25分）第一节：完形填空（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后在各题所给四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出一个最佳选项I hated running in the past.
