A
Recently I gave my adult students homework. It was “go to someone you love and tell them you love them.” It has to be someone you have never said those words to before or at least haven’t shared those words with for a long time.
It sounds like very tough homework since most of the men were over 35 and were raised in the generation of men that were taught expressing emotions is not “macho(陽剛之氣).” Showing feelings or crying was just not done. So this was very threatening homework for some.
At the beginning of our next class, I asked if someone wanted to share what happened when they told someone they loved them. I fully expected one of the women to volunteer, as was usually the case, but on this evening one of the men raised his hand, quite moved and a bit shaken.
As he unfolded out of his chair (all 1.85 meters of him), he began by saying, “Dennis, I was quite angry with you last week when you gave us this homework . Why were you to tell me to do something that personal?”
“But as I began driving home my conscience(良心)started telling me that I knew exactly who I needed to say ‘I love you’ to.”
“Five years ago, my father and I had a severe disagreement and really never settled it since then. We avoided seeing each other unless we absolutely had to at Christmas or other family gatherings. But even then, we hardly spoke to each other.”
“So last Tuesday by the time I got home I had convinced myself I was going to tell my father I loved him. It’s strange, but just making that decision seemed to lift a heavy load off my chest.”
56.The homework is threatening for some students because         .
A. they are middle-aged people     B. they are not macho enough
C. they were taught to hide their emotions   D. they didn’t know how to show feelings
57.From the passage we know that________.
A. the adult students have classes in the day time only
B. not all the adult students in the writer’s class are male
C. the man refused to meet his father after their quarrel
D. the man quickly decided to say “I love you” to his father
58.The underlined phrase “unfolded out of his chair” in Para 4 is closest in meaning to_______.
A. stood on his chair straight B. sat quietly in the chair
C. bent himself over his chair       D. raised himself slowly from the chair
59.What does the man imply by saying the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?
A. He felt it too strange to say “I love you” to his father.
B. He felt relaxed just thinking of saying “I love you” to his father.
C. He felt very relaxed after saying “I love you” to his father.
D. He had to lift a heavy load off his chest before saying “I love you”.
60. .Which do you think can be the best title of the passage?
A. Special homework for adults.             B. Saying “I love you” is not mancho.
C. Disagreement between father and son .     D. It is easy for adults to express their love.

第三節(jié)（共5小題；每題2分，滿分10分）閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容在文后第66至第70小題的空格里填上適當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~或短語，并將答案轉(zhuǎn)寫到答題卷上。注意：每空不超過3個(gè)單詞。
As we all know, if you don’t use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everyone knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.
When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone says that his memory is poor, he really means he does not give it enough chance to become strong.
If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his fault（過錯(cuò)）. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that their parents are to blame（怪責(zé)）, and few of us know that it is just his own fault.
Have you ever found that some people can’t write or read (blind people) but they have better memories? This is because that they can’t read or write and they have to remember things. They cannot write them down in a small notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs or stories, so their memories are being exercised the whole time. If we want to have a good memory, we should practise remembering things.

SectionＤ
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
Exceptional children are different in some significant ways from others of the same age. For these children to develop to their full adult potential, their education must be adapted to those differences.
Although we focus on the needs of exceptional children, we find ourselves describing their environment as well. While the leading actor on the stage captures our attention, we are aware of the importance of the supporting players and the scenery of the play itself. Both the family and the society in which exceptional children live are often the key to their growth and development. And it is in the public schools that we find the full expression of society’s understanding — the knowledge, hopes, and fears that are passed on to the next generation.
Education in any society is a mirror of that society. In that mirror we can see the strengths, the weaknesses, the hopes, the prejudices, and the central values of the culture itself. The great interest in exceptional children shown in public education over the past three decades indicates the strong feeling in our society that all citizens, whatever their special conditions, deserve the opportunity to fully develop their capabilities.
“All men are created equal,” we heard it many times, but it still has important meaning for education in a democratic society. Although the phrase was used by this country’s founders to indicate equality before the law, it has also been interpreted to mean equality of opportunity. That concept implies educational opportunity for all children — the right of each child to receive help in learning to the limits of his or her capability, whether that capability is small or great. Recent court decisions have confirmed the right of all children — disabled or not — to an appropriate education, and have ordered that public schools take the necessary steps to provide that education. In response, schools are modifying their programs, adapting instruction to children who are exceptional, to those who cannot profit substantially from regular programs.
（Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.）
81. This passage is concerned primarily with the necessity of adapting ________________.
________________________________________________________________________
82. What affects the growth of exceptional children according to the author?
________________________________________________________________________
83. People have shown great interest in the education of exceptional children over the last three decades because they believe that ________________________________________.

84. According to the passage, what does “All men are created equal” mean to the country’s founders?

Maggiano is an award-winning teacher in the Social Studies Department at West Springfield High School in Virginia. He has taught in public and private schools for 25 years .In a piece on his blog called “The Classroom Post,” he calls for more males to enter the profession(職業(yè)).
Men Teach, a non-profit organization that encourages men to enter teaching, reports that in 2008, 18.8% of all elementary and middle school teachers were men. At the high school level during the same year, men comprised（構(gòu)成） 44% of the work force.
Why are there so few men in teaching? Men Teach says low pay and lack of prestige（聲望）, as well as a perception in our culture that teaching is for women. As a result, there is no organized effort across the country to attract men into the teaching profession.
A study in 2008 by the National Education Association showed that the number of male teachers hit a record 40-year low. Males comprised 24.5 percent of public schoolteachers. States with high percentages: Kansas (33.6 percent), Oregon (31.6 percent), Alaska (30.9 percent) and Indiana (30.5percent).States with the lowest percentage : Arkansas (16.2 percent), Virginia (17.4 percent), Mississippi (17.5 percent), Louisiana (18 percent), South Carolina (18.5 percent) and Georgia (19.7 percent).
There is no definitive(確定) research that male students--or female students, for that matter-- learn better from a particular sex.
But as Maggiano put it, “Kids today, both boys and girls, must have the same opportunity to learn from outstanding, devoted men that I did. However, I have heard little discussion about this problem coming from our national leaders.
小題1:What worries Maggiano is that_______.         
A．nobody will take his place when he retires
B．male teachers are not so excellent
C．men are not interested in teaching
D．there is not enough teachers in the schools
小題2:According to the text , we can infer that______.      
A．the number of male teachers hit a record 40-year low in 2008
B．it is not sure students will learn better from male teachers
C．male teachers get a higher pay
D．organized efforts have been made to call on men into the teaching profession
小題3:In which state are male teachers most badly needed?
A．Alaska B．Virginia C．Georgia D．Arkansas
小題4:What does the last paragraph suggest?
A．The government doesn’t pay much attention to the shortage.
of male teachers in the school.
B．Students find it easy to learn from male teachers.
C．I’m glad to hear the discussion about the shortage of male teachers in the school.
D．The shortage of male teachers in the school has no effect on students.

You’re shopping for a high-priced product, but have limited money. How to make the best use of your money? Here are some steps you can take to become a smart shopper.
Step 1. Before buying a high-cost product, think about:

·how often and when you will use the product

Step 2. To choose the best product, you need to research and find out:
·what companies make the product
·the differences in each company’s product

Step 4. As you get ready to buy, search your local newspaper and the Internet for special offers. Many sales are offered around holidays or at the end of a season. Wait to see if there will be a holiday or end-of-season sale before you buy. Check to see if you can get a lower price for the product you want to buy.

The first final competition was held in 1977 at the Association for Computer Machinery Computer Science Conference.

B
Deep into the night, the bus pulled into a Howard Johnson’s restaurant and everybody got off the bus except Vingo. The young people began to wonder about him, trying to imagine his life:perhaps he was sea captain; maybe he had run away from wife; he could be an old soldier going home. When they went to the bus, one of the girls sat beside him and introduced herself. After a long time, slowly and painfully, he began to tell his story. He had been in prison in New York for the last four years, and he was going home.
“Well, when I was in prison I wrote to my wife. I said, Martha, I understand if you can’t stay married to me. I said I was going to be away a long time, and that if she couldn’t stand it, if the kids kept asking questions, if it hurt her too much, well, she could just forget all about me. I told her she didn’t have to write to me, and she didn’t. Not for the three and a half years.”
“Last week, when I was sure freedom was coming through, I wrote to her. I told her if she had a new young man, I would understand. But if she didn’t, if she would take me back, she should let me know. We used to live in this town, Brunswick, and there’s a great big oak tree just as you come into the town. I told her if she could take me back, she should put a yellow handkerchief on the tree, and if she didn’t want me, forget me, no handkerchief and I’d keep going on through.”
Soon all the others were in it. When they were 20 miles from Brunswick, the young people took over window seats on the right side, waiting for the approach of the great oak tree. Vingo stopped looking, tightening his face into the ex?con’s mask. Then it was 10 miles, and five, and the bus became very quiet.
Then suddenly all of the young people were up out of their seats, screaming and shouting and crying, doing small dances. All except Vingo.
39.In the story, the yellow handkerchief probably means_______.
A.happiness     B.sadness         C.I hate you         D.I still love you
40.The bus became quiet when it came near the town because all the passengers_______.
A.got tired after a long journey        B.got too sad to say anything
C.were anxious to see the oak tree      D.were touched by the story
41.The underlined part “All except Vingo” probably implies_______.
A.he found no handkerchief on the oak tree
B.he feared that his wife was playing a joke
C.he felt he could not match his wife any longer, afraid to face her
D.he had complicated feelings at the moment:guilty, grateful as well as excited
42.What is the best title for the passage?
A.Going Home                       B.A Handkerchief and an Oak Tree
C.A Long Bus Journey                  D.A Story of an Oak Tree
