In an interview, she recalled how she became a percussion soloist (打击乐器独奏演员) in spite of her disability. “Early on I decided not to allow the36 ofothers to stop me from becoming a musician.

And if you don’t know for sure, it’s a very likely that you can find out. There may be a watch on your wrist, there may be a clock on the wall, desk, or computer screen; or maybe you’re riding in a car that has a clock in the dashboard (仪表板). Even if you don’t have a timepiece of some sort nearby, your body keeps its own beat. Humans have an internal clock that regulates (调节) the beating of our heart, the pace of our breathing, the discharge (排出) of chemicals within our bloodstream, and many other bodily functions. 第 – 3 -页 共 25 页 Time is something from which we can’t escape. Even if we ignore it, it’s still going by, ticking away, second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour. So the main issue in using your time well is, “Who’s in charge?” We can allow time to slip by and let it be our enemy. Or we can take control of it and make it our ally. By taking control of how you spend your time, you’ll increase your chances of becoming a more successful student. Perhaps more importantly, the better you are at managing the time you devote to your studies, the more time you’ll have to spend on your outside interests. The aim of time management is not to schedule every moment so we become slaves of a timetable that governs every waking moment of the day. Instead, the aim is to make informed choices as to how we use our time. Rather than letting the day go by, largely without our awareness, what we are going to discuss next can make us better able to control time for our own purposes. 56. The underlined word “ally” in Para. 3 more likely means somebody or something that is _________. A. your slave and serves you B. your supporter and helps you C. under your control and obeys you D. under your influence and follows you 57. The author intends to tell us that time _____________. A. could be regulated by a timepiece such as a clock or a watch B. could be managed by the internal clock of human bodies C. should be well managed for our own interest D. should be saved for outside interests 58. In the next part, the author would most probably discuss with you ________. A. how to keep up with the times C. how to have a good time B. how to make up for lost time D. how to make good use of time BWe experience different forms of the Sun’s energy every day. We can see its lightand feel its warmth. The Sun is the major source of evaporation (蒸发) of water from the oceans and lakes. Sunlight also provides the energy used by green plants to make their own food. These green plants then provide food for all organisms (生物) on the Earth. Much of the energy that comes from the Sun never reaches the Earth’s surface. It is either reflected or absorbed by the gases in the upper atmosphere. Of the energy that reaches the lower atmosphere, 30% is reflected by clouds or the Earth’s surface. The remaining 70% warms the surface of the planet, causes water to evaporate, and provides energy for the water cycle and weather. Only a tiny part, approximately 0.023%, is actually used by green plants to produce food. Many gases found in the atmosphere actually reflect heat energy escaping from the Earth’s surface back to the Earth. These gases act like the glass of a greenhouse in that they allow energy from the Sun to enter but prevent energy from leaving. They are therefore called greenhouse gases. 第 – 4 -页 共 25 页 When sunlight strikes an object, some of the energy is absorbed and some is reflected. The amount reflected depends on the surface. For example, you’ve probably noticed how bright snow is when sunlight falls on it. Snow reflects most of the energy from the Sun, so it contributes to the low temperatures of winter. Dark-coloured surfaces, such as dark soil or forest, absorb more energy and help warm the surrounding air. 59. According to the passage, the root cause for weather changes on the Earth is ______. A. the atmosphere surrounding the EarthB. water from oceans and lakes C. energy from the Sun D. greenhouse gases in the sky 60. Only a small part of the Sun’s energy reaches the Earth’s surface because most of it _______________. A. absorbed by the clouds in the lower atmosphere B. reflected by the gases in the upper atmosphere C. lost in the upper and lower atmosphere D. used to evaporate water from the oceans and lakes 61. We learn from the passage that _______________. A. all living things on the Earth depend on the Sun for their food B. a forest looks dark in winter because it absorbs solar energy C. only 0.023% of the energy from the Sun is made use of on the Earth D. greenhouse gases allow heat energy to escape from the Earth’s surface CGallery Policies for Visitors to National Gallery of Art, Washington Visitors must present all carried items for For the safety of the artworks and other visitors, inspection upon entry.

College, carrier, and life itself got in the way. In fact, Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit of the dreams. There, in the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future, and 第 – 6 -页 共 25 页 nothing could stop him. Over the phone, his mother told him, “Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is Wednesday.” Memories fleshed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days. “Jack, did you hear me?” “Oh, sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. it’s been so long since I thought of him. I’m sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago,” Jack said. “Well, he didn’t forget you. Every time I saw him he’d ask how you were doing. He’d reminisce (回忆) about the many days you spent over ‘his side of the fence’ as he put it, ” Mom told him. “I loved that old house he lived in,” Jack said. “You know, Jack, after your father died, Mr. Belser stepped in to make sure you had a man’s influence in your life,” she said. “He’s the one who taught me carpentry. I wouldn’t be in this business if it weren’t for him. He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important. Mom, I’ll be there for the funeral.” Jack said. Busy as he was, he kept his word. Jack caught the next flight to his hometown. Mr. Belser’s funeral was small and uneventful. He had no children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed away. The night before he had to return home, Jack and his Mom stopped by to see the old house next door one more time, which was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories. Every picture, every piece of furniture … Jack stopped suddenly. “What’s wrong, Jack?” his Mom asked. “The box is gone,” he said. “What box?” Mom asked. “There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk. I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside. All he’d ever tell me was ‘the thing I value most’,” Jack said. It was gone. Everything about the house was exactly how Jack remembered it, except for the box. He figured someone from the Belser family had taken it. “Now I’ll never know what was so valuable to him,” Jack said sadly. Returning to his office the next day, he found a package on his desk. The return address caught his attention. “Mr. Harold Belser” it read. Jack tore open the package. There inside was the gold box and an envelope. Jack’s hands shook as he read the note inside, “Upon my death, please forward this box and its contents to Jack Bernett. It’s the thing I valued most in my life.” A small key was taped to the letter. His heart racing, and tears filling his eyes. Jack carefully unlocked the box. There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch. Running his fingers slowly over the fine cover, he opened it. 第 – 7 -页 共 25 页 Inside he found these words carved: “Jack. Thanks for your time! Harold Belser.” “Oh. My God! This is the thing he valued most …” Jack held the watch for a few minutes, then called his assistant and cleared his appointments for the next two days. “Why?” his assistant asked. “I need some time to spend with my son,” he said. 66. Why did Jack think Mr. Belser died years ago? A. College and career prevented him from remembering Mr. Belser. B. Jack was too busy with his business and family to think about Mr. Belser. C. Jack was too busy realizing his dreams to think about Mr. Belser. D. His present busy life washed away his children memories. 67. Jack’s mother told him on the phone about Mr. Belser EXCEPT that _________. A. Mr. Belser often asked how Jack was doing B. Mr. Belser’s funeral would take place on Wednesday C. Mr. Belser had asked for Jack’s mailing address D. Mr. Belser had pleasant memories of their time together 68. Why did Belser send Jack his gold watch? A. Because he was grateful for Jack’s time with him. B. Because he had no children or relatives. C. Because he thought he had to keep his word. D. Because Jack had always wanted it during his childhood. 69. Why did Jack say he needed some time to spend with his son? A. He was very tired of his work and wanted to have a good rest. B. He had promised to spare more time to stay with his son. C. He had missed his son and his family for days. D. He came to realize the importance of the time with his family. 70. Which of the following is the most suitable title for this passage? A. The Good Old Times C. An Old Gold Watch B. What He Valued Most D.

Scientific investigations (调查) are almost always carried out by teams of people working together. Ideas are shared, experiences are designed, data are analyzed, and results are evaluated and shared with other investigators. Group work is necessary, and is usually more productive than working alone. Several times throughout the year you may be asked to work with one or more of your classmates. Whatever the task your group is assigned, a few rules need to be followed to ensure a productive and successful experience. What comes first is to keep an open mind, because everyone’s ideas deserve consideration and each group member can make his or her own contribution. Secondly, it makes a job easier to divide the group task among all group members. Choose a role on the team that is best suited to your particular strengths. Thirdly, always work together, take turns, and encourage each other by listening, clarifying, and trusting one another. Mutual support and trust often make a great difference. Activities like investigations are most effective when done by small groups. Here are some more suggestions for effective team performance during these activities: Make sure each group member understands and agrees to the task given to him or her, and everyone knows exactly when, why and what to do; take turns doing various tasks during similar and repeated activities; be aware of where other group members are and what they are doing so as to ensure safety; be responsible for your own learning, though it is by no means unwise to compare your observations with those of other group members. When there is research to be done, divide the topic into several areas, and this can explore the issue in a very detailed way. You are encouraged to keep records of the sources used each person, which helps you trace back to the origin of the problems that may happen unexpectedly. A format for exchanging information (e.g. photocopies of notes, oral discussion, etc.) is also important, for a well-chosen method not only strengthens what you present but also makes yourself easily understood. When the time comes to make a decision and take a position on an issue, allow for the contributions of each member of the group. Most important of all, it is always wise to make decisions by compromise and agreement. After you’ve completed a task with your team, make an evaluation of the team’s effectiveness — the strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and challenges.

The topic of my speech today is “Being a Good Listener”. Good listening can always show respect, promote understanding, and improve interpersonal relationship. Many people suggest that parents should listen more to their children, so they will understand them better, and find it easy to narrow the generation gap; teachers should listen more to their students, then they can meet their needs better, and place themselves in a good relationship with their students; students should listen more to their classmates, thus they will help and learn from each other, and a friendship is likely to be formed. What I want to stress is that each of us should listen to others. Show your respect and never stop others till they finish their talk; show you are interested by a supportive silence or a knowing smile; be open-minded to different opinions even though you don’t like them. In a word, good listening can really enable us to get closer to each other. Thank you for your listening! (151 词) 第 – 12 -页 共 25 页 第二部分：英语知识运用（共两节, 满分 35 分） 第一节：单项填空（共 15 小题，每小题 1 分，满分 15 分） 21. We went right round to the west coast by __________ sea instead of driving across _________ continent. A. the … theB. / … the C. the … / D. / … / 【高考考点】冠词。 【答案与解析】】B。by sea 是固定词组，用作状语，表示方式，意为“乘船”。类似词组还 有 by air (乘飞机)，by land (由陆路)。第二个空缺选 the，表“特指”。 22. — Do you mind if I record your lecture? — ___________. Go ahead. A. Never mindB. No way C. Not at allD. No, you’d better not 【高考考点】情景交际。 【答案与解析】】C。Never mind“没关系，不要紧”，常用于别人向你致歉时的答语。No way “决不，不可能”拒绝对方。如：Do you want to help?–No way! (你想帮忙吗？决不！)。Not at all“根本不” (意为“一点儿也不介意”)。No, you’d better not 不符合交际习惯。 23. — Is Peter there? — _____________, please. I’ll see if I can find him for you. A. Hold upB. Hold on C. Hold outD. Hold off 【高考考点】动词短语词义辨析。 【答案与解析】】B。hold up“阻止，举起”；hold on“稍等会儿，（打电话时）别挂断”；hold out“伸出，提出”；hold off 本题考查的是打电话时的用语；hold off“推迟，战胜，克服”。 从语境看这是打电话时叫对方别挂。故选 B。 24. The Science Museum, ____________ we visited during a recent trip to Britain, is one of London’s tourist attractions. A. whichB. whatC. thatD. where 【高考考点】which 引导的非限制性定语从句。 【答案与解析】A。本题考查的重点是非限制性定语从句。大家知道，非限制性定语从句的 先行词指物时，应用 which 而不用 that，定语从句谓语动词 visit 是及物动词，需跟宾语句子 才完整。故 A 项正确。 25. — I can’t repair these until tomorrow, I’m afraid. — That’s OK, there’s ____________. A. no problem B. no wonderC. no doubtD. no hurry 【高考考点】交际用语。 【答案与解析】D。no hurry 意为“不急”。从问句可知，对方有点儿“着急”，所以答方说， “没关系，不急”。“no+名词”这一结构是英语中常见搭配，no problem (没问题)，no wonder (怪不得)，no doubt (无疑)，常见的还有 no way (没门儿)。 26. — It shouldn’t take long to clear up after the party if we all volunteer to help. — That’s right. _____________. A. Many hands make light work B. Something is better than nothing C. The more, the merrierD. The sooner begin, the sooner done 【高考考点】英语谚语。 【答案与解析】A。Many hands make light work.是谚语，意为“人多好办事”在近几年的高 考英语江苏卷中，曾多次考查学生对谚语、习语的掌握情况。如 06 年第 28 小题考的是谚语 No pains, no gains.“不劳无获。” 第 13 页 共 25 页 27. It is often said that the joy of traveling is __________ in arriving at your destination ___________ in the journey itself. A. / … but B. / … or C. not … orD. not … but 【高考考点】连词。 【答案与解析】D。本题考查的是固定搭配。not … but …是固定词组，意为“不是……而 是……。” 28. — Why do you suggest we buy a new machine? — Because the old one has been damaged ___________. A. beyond reach B. beyond repairC. beyond controlD. beyond description 【高考考点】介词短语。 【答案与解析】B。beyond 是介词，意为“（程度）超出”，beyond repair 是“无法修理”。 题意是“因为旧机器已经烂得无法再修理了。”故选 B。 29. — They are quiet, aren’t they? — Yes. They are accustomed ____________ at meals. A. to talk B. to not talkC. to talkingD. to not talking 【高考考点】非谓语动词。 【答案与解析】D。本题考查的是词组 be accused to (习惯于)的用法，其中 to 是介词，后跟 名词或动名词。 30. It is __________ to spend money on preventing illnesses by promoting healthy living rather than spending on trying to make people ___________ after they are ill. A. good … good B. well … betterC. better … betterD. better … good 【高考考点】形容词比较等级。 【答案与解析】C。本句为复合句，it 是形式主语，真正的主语是动词不定式短语 to spend … 。rather than 是固定短语，意为“与其说……，不如说……”。其句意为：与其把 钱花在让人康复上，倒不如将钱花在通过提升健康的生活来预防疾病。 31. — I’m still working on my project. — Oh, you’ll miss the deadline. Time is ____________. A. running outB. going outC. giving outD. losing out 【高考考点】动词短语词义辨析。 【答案与解析】A 解析：run out 的意思是“（期限）到期”。此处用现在进行时表示：即将 到期。go out (灯)熄灭，give out发出(热、味)，lose out输给……(to sb)。 32. __________ you eat the correct foods ___________ be able to keep fit and stay healthy. A. Only if; will you C. Unless; will you B. Only if; you will D. Unless; you will 【高考考点】“only +状语从句”位于句首时引起的倒装结构。 【答案与解析】A。当 only 放在句首，修饰状语从句、副词或介词短语时，主句的谓语要部 分前置，构成部分倒装。 33. — I’m sure Andrew will win the first prize in the final. — I think so. He ___________ for it for months. A. is preparingB. was preparingC. had been preparingD. has been preparing 【高考考点】考查动词时态。 【答案与解析】D。从上文可知“Andrew 将在决赛中拿第一”说明他还在准备，故用现在 完成进行时。句意是“他一直准备数月了。”故选 D。 34. To learn English well, we should find opportunities to hear English ___________ as much as 第 14 页 共 25 页 we can. A. speakB. speakingC. spoken 【高考考点】过去分词作宾补。 D. to speak 【答案与解析】C。句意是“为了学好英语，我们应尽可能地找机会说英语。”English 和 speak 之间是被动关系，故感官动词 hear 后跟过去分词作宾补。故选 C 项。 35. — I’m sorry. I ___________ at you the other day. — Forget it. I was a bit out of control myself. A. shouldn’t shout C. mustn’t shout B. shouldn’t have shouted D. mustn’t have shouted 【高考考点】考查情态动词 shouldn’t have done 的用法。 【答案与解析】B。前句中有明显的时间状语 the other day (几天前)，事情发生在过去。 句意是“对不起，前几天我不应该对你大嚷大叫。”所以要用“shouldn’t have done”。 第二节 完型填空（共20 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 20 分） 2008 年的完形填空是一篇叙事性的文章，作者采用倒叙的手法，讲述了英国著名聋女乐器 打击手 Evelyn Glennie 克服困难成功的故事，阐明了只要有激情，敢于尝试，就能成功的主 题。 36.

A. enjoying B. choosingC. taking D. giving 【高考考点】考查动词词义。 【答案与解析】C。文中 take piano lessons为动词搭配，表示：上(听)钢琴课之意，故排除 其它三个干扰项。 38. A. sightB. hearing C. touchD. taste 【高考考点】考查名词词义。 【答案与解析】B。由下文“I was completely deaf”；“not as a deaf musician”；“ I was totally deaf” 处可知作者年幼失聪 (hearing)。 39. A. evidence B. resultC. excuseD. cause 【高考考点】考查名词词义辨析。 【答案与解析】D 。根据文章，医生断言神经受损是作者耳聋的原因所在，而非产生的结 果，故排除 B 项，A 项表示：证据，C 项表示：借口，均不符合文意。 40. A. left B. excited C. accompanied D. disappointed 【高考考点】考动词词义辨析。 【答案与解析】A 。从文中可知，作者虽患耳疾，但年纪愈长，对音乐的热情也愈涨，再 由 but 一词的暗示，可敲定 left 为正确答案。 41. A. purposeB. decision C. promise D. goal 【高考考点】考查名词词义辨析。 【答案与解析】D。 根据文意，作者的人生目标是要成为一名打击乐器独奏演员，所以D 为正确答案，A 项表示: 意图，B 项表示: 决定，C 项表示: 诺言，均不准确。 42. A. turnedB. learned C. usedD. ought 【高考考点】考查动词词义辨析。 【答案与解析】B。 由文中可知，由于听力丧失，作者无法用耳朵去听音乐，所以只能尝 第 15 页 共 25 页 试学会以“另类”的方式去感悟音乐，选项 B 恰好表示: 学习、习得之意，符合文意。 43. A. tellB. seeC. hearD. smell 【高考考点】考查动词词义辨析。 【答案与解析】A 。由上文可知，作者无法象常人一样去听音乐，就想出只穿着袜子不穿 鞋，利用身体的震动来感知音乐，分辨音调高低。其中 can 与 tell 连用，正好表达“分辨”、 “辨别”之意，为正确答案。 44. A. carefulnessB. movementC. imaginationD. experience 【高考考点】考查名词词义辨析。 【答案与解析】C 。根据文意和句子结构可判断，只有 C 项 imagination (想象力)为正确答 案。 45. A. senseB. effortC. feelingD. idea 【高考考点】考查名词词义辨析。 【答案与解析】A。 根据上文, 作者听力丧失，所以只能协调其它的感官去“听”音乐。 故 A 项为正确答案。 46. A. dissatisfiedB. astonishedC. determined D. discouraged 【高考考点】考查形容词词义辨析 【答案与解析】C。 此处表达作者要立志成为音乐家，所以不难选出determine 一词，其 他三项 dissatisfied, astonished, discouraged 因感情色彩与文章主旨明显不符，而不能入选。 47. A. doneB. acceptedC. advised D. admitted 【高考考点】考查副词词义辨析。 【答案与解析】A。 作者耳患顽疾，且又申请著名的伦敦皇家音乐学院去学习，这在当时 是没有哪个聋哑学生能够做到的，故此题选 A 为宜。 48. A. supportedB. followedC. required D. opposed 【高考考点】考查动词词义辨析。 【答案与解析】D。 由上下文语境，再加上衔接词and（注意文中没用 but,说明此处表示并 列，而非转折）可推知，作者的行为自然要受到老师的反对。此处学生易误选 support 一词 而造成语意前后矛盾，以致偏离主题。 49. A. usually B. finally C. possiblyD. hopefully 【高考考点】考查副词词义辨析。 【答案与解析】B。 从文中可知，作者大胆尝试，抵制压力，克服困难，最终考入皇家音 乐学院，所以 B 项（最终地）为正确答案。 50. A. studyB. research C. graduateD. progress 【高考考点】考查动词词义辨析。 【答案与解析】C。由第四段最后一句可知，应是作者毕业时获得学院最高荣誉奖，其它三 项不妥。 51. A. wroteB. translatedC. copied D. read 【高考考点】考查动词词义辨析。 【答案与解析】A。根据文章，作者经过不懈努力，后来成为第一位专职打击音乐独奏演员， 再由下句“…had been written specially for solo percussionists.”中 write 一词的同义复现，可 确定上句答案为 A 项。 52. A. enough B. someC. manyD. few 【高考考点】考查不定代词词义辨析。 【答案与解析】D。考查代词词义，根据上下文逻辑，在此作者想表达很少有人来专门为打 击音乐独奏演员来谱曲，所以出现上文作者挺身而出，竭力为演员们来谱曲，所以此题 D 第 16 页 共 25 页 项为正确答案。 53. A. However B. AlthoughC. WhenD. Since 【高考考点】考查连词用法。 【答案与解析】B。根据上下文逻辑，可知此处应使用表示转折的关联词，选项 A (however) 虽然表示转折含义，但不用做连词，不能连接句子，故排除。所以 B 项为正确答案。 54. A. meanB. seemC. concludeD. say 【高考考点】考查动词词义辨析。 【答案与解析】A。根据文意和句式结构（此句为双重否定句）可知，mean 表示：“意味 着”，为最佳答案。 55. 55. A. directedB. guidedC. taught D. limited 【高考考点】考查动词词义辨析。 【答案与解析】D。作者通过自身经历劝导人们不要为别人的思想而束缚自己，故 D 项 (limited 表示：限制)为最佳答案。 第三部分：阅读理解（共 15 小题，每题 2 分，满分 30 分） A（A 篇是一篇议论文，主要论述了如何做时间的主人。） 【高考考点】考查猜测词义的能力。 【答案与解析】B 。文章第三段作者亮出观点：谁来主宰时间，并又进一步指出：要么让 时间溜走，成为我们的大敌；要么我们管好时间，使之成为我们的朋友，此处 ally 一词和上 句的 enemy 恰好词义相对，语意相反，可知 B 为正确答案。 57. The author intends to tell us that time _____________. A. could be regulated by a timepiece such as a clock or a watch B. could be managed by the internal clock of human bodies C. should be well managed for our own interest D. should be saved for outside interests 【高考考点】考查推理判断能力。 【答案与解析】C。作者在文章中阐明了我们如何去管理时间，进而成为时间的主人，所以 C 项切中文意，为正确答案。 58. In the next part, the author would most probably discuss with you ________. A. how to keep up with the timesB. how to make up for lost time C. how to have a good timeD. how to make good use of time 【高考考点】考查推理判断能力。 【答案与解析】D。从文章最后一段末句可知作者下面将讨论我们将如何更好地利用时间为 我们服务，故 D 项为正确答案。 B（B 篇属于科普文，讲述有关太阳能的问题。） 59.

We learn from the passage that _______________. A. all living things on the Earth depend on the Sun for their food B. a forest looks dark in winter because it absorbs solar energy C. only 0.023% of the energy from the Sun is made use of on the Earth D. greenhouse gases allow heat energy to escape from the Earth’s surface 【高考考点】考查推理判断能力 【答案与解析】A。从文章第一段末句可知，地球上所有生物均要依靠太阳能来间接为他们 提供食物。B 、C、 D 三项表述皆与文意相违。 C62.

A. pictures and videos are allowed for personal use anywhere in the Gallery B. pictures and videos can be taken in some places for personal use 第 18 页 共 25 页 C. picture-taking and videoing are totally forbidden in the Gallery D. tripods are allowed except in some special exhibitions 【高考考点】考查细节理解能力。 【答案与解析】B。从文章倒数第二段可知，除去一些特别的展品和严格禁止的地方，只要 是限于个人使用的拍照（或录像）是可以被允许的，可确定 B 项为最佳答案。 D（D 篇属于记叙文，文章由邻居之死而引出一个不容忽视的社会主题：友情、亲情才是最重 要的。） 【高考考点】考查细节理解能力。 【答案与解析】C。从文章首段可知文章主人公 Jack 整日忙于生计，为实现梦想而无暇顾及 家人和朋友，所以 B 项…busy with his business and family…表述有误，而 C 项正好与文意 相符，故选之。 67. Jack’s mother told him on the phone about Mr. Belser EXCEPT that _________. A. Mr. Belser often asked how Jack was doing B. Mr. Belser’s funeral would take place on Wednesday C. Mr. Belser had asked for Jack’s mailing address D. Mr. Belser had pleasant memories of their time together 【高考考点】考查细节查寻能力。 【答案与解析】C。精读全文可知 Mr Belser 并未向 Jack 之母索要 e-mail 地址，而其他三项 文中均已提及。 68.

The topic of my speech today is “Being a Good Listener”. Good listening can always show respect, promote understanding, and improve interpersonal relationship. Many people suggest that parents should listen more to their children, so they will understand them better, and find it easy to narrow the generation gap; teachers should listen more to their students, then they can meet their needs better, and place themselves in a good relationship with their students; students should listen more to their classmates, thus they will help and learn from each other, and a friendship is likely to be formed. What I want to stress is that each of us should listen to others. Show your respect and never stop others till they finish their talk; show you are interested by a supportive silence or a knowing smile; be open-minded to different opinions even though you don’t like them. In a word, good listening can really enable us to get closer to each other. Thank you for your listening!

W: Oh, really? M: And she will not meet Richer this time. (Text 3) W: I hate to say it. But Jacky isn’t doing well in the film. M: Well. I think he’s only playing a different type of role. My sister thinks he is still the best. (Text 4) M: Professor Miners, could I talk to you about my paper? W: Sure. Come to my office between two to three. It’s Room 340. (Text 5) W: OK. Time to go home. M: I can’t. I haven’t finished the report about the newly opened restaurant. W: Well. If you carry on working like that, you’ll make yourself ill. (Text 6) M: I haven’t seen you for a long time. Where have you been? W: I went to New York to visit my sister and stayed there for two months. Actually, I really went to meet my new nephew. M: That’s great! How old is he? W: Well.He was five months old when I got there. And he could possibly be the most beautiful baby I have ever seen. M: What did you do in your sister’s home? W: I helped the baby and played with him a lot, which was nice. But what I enjoyed most was feeding him. (Text 7) M: Air pollution is so bad in this city. I think the government should stop people from driving cars on certain days. W: You have a point. Air pollution is a problem. But not letting people drive on certain days is a 第 23 页 共 25 页 bad idea. People have to go to work by car. M: I’mafraid I don’t agree with you there. Reducing air pollution is really important. People are so used to driving that they don’t think about ways to do things. If we stop them from driving on certain days, maybe they could think of new ways to get around. W: Isee your point. But I still think it wouldn’t be possible to stop people from driving. (Text 8) M: Let’sgo and have lunch together. W: OK! M: Bythe way, I’m thinking of going to New Zealand around Christmas for three weeks. It’s such a beautiful country. I’ve never been there before. W: Haveyou booked the flight? M: Not yet. I’m planning to book my flight in two weeks’ time W: Bookyour flight right now. M: Why? W: Becausethe longer you leave it, the more expensive it will be. As a matter of fact, the prices may double at Christmas time. New Zealanders usually go home for Christmas. M: ThenI’m going to book my flight tomorrow morning. (Text 9) M: Hello! W: Hello,Mike! This is Jane. M: Oh.Hello, Jane! W: Listen,Mike! I’ve got a real problem. M: Whatis it？ W: Thecar’s broken down. M: Oh,not again. W: Yeah. I checked the oil and I checked almost everything. It’s just not starting at all. M: You have to get rid of it, you know. W：I know ,Ｉknow. But look, the thing is, I’ve got to pick Tom up at the airport. Can I……? M: Use my car? Yes, of course. W: That’ll be great! It’s very kind of you. M: Come on when you like. I don’t need it till tonight. W: OK! I’ll be around in about an hour. Thanks a lot! M: It’s all right. See you then! W: See you! (Text 10) W: OK! When we met last week, we talked about different kinds of short stories and some well-known short story writers. I remember that many of you said you liked the American writer Earnest Hemingway, right? I hope you all followed my advice and finished reading his story “ A day’s wait”, because as I said, we’re going to study it together in today’s lesson. Now since you’re 第 24 页 共 25 页 supposed to have read this story, let’s have some discussion. Please look at the four questions on the blackboard. First, when and where does the story take place? Second, what does the boy read for in the story and what kind of person does he show himself to be? Third, what kind of person is the boy’s father? Four, what is the writer’s main purpose of writing the story? I’d like you to work in groups of four or five and present your answers in ten minutes. Is everything clear? 第 25 页 共 25 页
