My daddy doesn’t know how to express love at all. It is my mum that makes everyone happy and calm in our family; while daddy only works day and night, never looking us in the face. But mum makes a wrongdoing list of us for daddy scolding us. She’s a spy!
  Once, I stole a candy. Daddy asked me to put it back and told the shopkeeper that I would like to carry loads for her. Well, mum told him I was just a child.
  I broke my leg on the playground. It’s still mum that held me tightly in her warm arms. Daddy drove us right to the emergency room. He was asked to move the car away for that vacant was for ambulance. Daddy got angry, “what do you think of it? A touring car?”
  On my birthday party, it was, again, my mum that took over the cake for me. My dad? He was busy blowing balloons and setting the table and doing the housework.
  While looking over our album, friends always ask, “What does your father look like?” God knows. He photos others all the time. So there are many and many photos of my mum and me, pretty and lovely photos.
  And I still remembered the day when dad taught me riding. I asked him not to let his hands away, but he did the opposite. And I certainly fell onto the ground. I got angry and decided to get on the bike and rode. But he smiled again.
  Mum wrote every letter to me while I was in college. He, except checks, did write a letter, but extremely short, just a few words, saying, “Without your playing on the lawn, my son, my lawn grows prettier than before.”
  Every time I phoned, it seemed he wanted to talk, but he would say, “I will get your mum.”
  On the day of my wedding, mum cried as if we would never meet again, while dad went out with a nasal sound.
  From very young, I heard him saying, “Where have you been?” “When do you go home?” “Did you get oil for your car?” “No, I don’t agree.” Dad really knows nothing about showing love. Unless... 
Maybe he showed while I didn’t notice, is it?

第三部分:閱讀理解(共20小題,每題2分,共40分)
第一節(jié):(共15小題,每題2分,共30分)
閱讀下面四篇短文,從四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C、D)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng),并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。
Forgiving is easy. Forgeting the experience that comes before the forgiveness, however, always remains with us. Choosing to forgive means choosing to let go of the bad or negative emotions that one experiences so that we can live in peace and harmony.
Five years ago I went through a painful divorce. My elder brother, a great believer of our faith, was very angry at my decision to divorce. Despite his response I felt my decision was correct. After two years of arguing over the phone and hurtful words in emails my brother and I ended our friendship in a cold silence.
Out of the blue(意想不到地) he visited the same city that I was living in to see our mother. I thought for nights about how to react to his visit. I sought advice from many friends---all of whom said I should wait for his apology before trying to repair our friendship. Since I had done nothing wrong, it was he that needed to come to me.
A very close friend advised me otherwise. He said, “Choose to be the bigger person here; forgive and forget. Let go and move on.” Though his words gave me courage, I still felt very angry and betrayed(背叛). My dear friend gave me a gentle shove(推,促使) and even stayed on the phone while I went over to greet my brother and family. When I did, I felt so relieved.I felt peace at last!
Todady I am so grateful to my friend for encouraging me. If I hadn’t taken his advice, I wouldn’t enjoy the loving relationship that I do now with all of my family. Still, it would be a lie if I said that I didn’t think about the past sometimes. The difference is that I do not feel angry. I am at peace and have a greater understanding and acceptance of the whole experience. In short I feel I have grown since then.
56. In the author’s opinion, the purpose of forgiving is _________.       
A. to forget the unpleasant experience
B.to make up with relatives or friends
C.to let go of the bad or negative emotions
D. to make ourselves live in peace and harmony
57. What was the problem between the author and her elder brother ?
A. They had different attitudes of life.
B. They had different views towards her marriage.
C. They belonged to different political parties.
D.They had a quarrel about properties.
58. What drove the author to forgive her brother?
A. One close friend’s encouragement.
B. The friend’s staying on the phone.
C. Her mother’s persuasion.
D. Her own understanding with growth.
59. It can be inferred that the author______.
A. realized her mistake in her divorce in the end                             
B. learned how to forget unpleasant experiences
C. felt having learned to forgive means growth                 
D.thought friendship is the most important of all

The dream of flying like Buzz Lightyear never dies. For years, space-age inventors have tested one wearable jet pack after another. And time after time, the designs have been grounded by dangerous fuels, excessive weight, or very loud noise levels. Now a Canadian inventor has sidestepped those weaknesses with an aquatic jet pack. Designed for travel over lakes or oceans, it’s driven by pressurized water, not burning rocket fuel.

When Raymond Li first told the idea for the aquatic jet pack to his friends, they said he must be nuts. How could a jet pack carry that much water? Its thrust-to-weight rate would be so low and it would never become airborne. Thrust-to-weight rate is a measure of the forward force produced compared with the weight of the vehicle. A vehicle with a low thrust-to-weight rate is relatively heavy for the amount of force it generates.
Li's genius idea was to place the jet pack’s engine and its water pump in a separate boat. The pump would draw water from the lake the boat was floating on. It would then force the water under pressure through a hose connected to the jet pack. The hose would be long enough to let the pack go up as high as 8.5 meters (28 feet) in the air.
Today, Li's invention, the Jetlev-Flyer, is ready to go into production. The pack itself, complete with jet nozzles (管嘴) and handlebars, weighs just 14 kilograms. The boat is a floating pod. To take off, the operator hits a trigger on a handlebar, which starts the pump, and then turns the throttle. Two streams of high-velocity water shoot through the hose and out the nozzles, lifting the operator into the air. The operator hovers there or pushes down on the handlebars, zooming forward at speeds of up to 64 kilometers per hour, pulling the pod behind.
小題1:All the following factors contribute to the failure of inventing a wearable jet pack EXCEPT ______.
A.excessive waterB.unbearable noiseC.unsafe fuelsD.too much weight
小題2:The underlined word “sidestepped” in Para. 1 most probably means ________.
A.improvedB.reducedC.a(chǎn)voidedD.solved
小題3: Raymond Li’s friends found his idea for the aquatic jet pack was ________.
A.excitingB.crazyC.realisticD.creative
小題4:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.His friends encouraged him to do the invention.
B.He put the engine and its water pump in the same boat.
C.The success of his invention lies in his bravery.
D.His invention finally succeeded and will go into production.
小題5:Which is the right order to make the Jetlev-Flyer take off?
a. The throttle is turned.                  b. The operator is lifted into the air.
c. A trigger is hit.                       d. Two streams of water shoot out.
The pump is started.
A.c, e, a, d, bB.c, e, a, b, dC.e, c, d, b, aD.e, a, c, d, b

Miguel’s co-workers don’t quite understand him. One day he is smiling and friendly, a real team player. The next day, he is cross, getting angry over minor things, especially when asked to improve one of his designs.
Identifying your personality characteristics is the first step in developing a good attitude. Are you a positive, confident person or are you shy and reserved? Do you face problems, looking for solutions, or do you feel someone to blame? Characteristics define you. They help you succeed, or they hold you back.
Self-awareness, or understanding the factors that make up your personality, is an important step towards happiness, and happiness is the key characteristic of a good attitude. To become self-aware is to be aware of both your good and bad characteristics.
What are the characteristics that people compliment(恭維) on you? Are you dependable”, “responsible” or “solid”? Pay attention to the compliment because they are a confirmation of your strongest characteristics. You can use these characteristics to create an even better image.
People form opinions about you. Whether they are right or wrong doesn’t enter the question. You, however, can change their opinions by demonstrating the personality characteristics and attitudes that match the way you want to be viewed. In becoming self-aware, understanding how others see you is an important step. This can be painful; but if you are brave enough to try it, it can be an excellent growth experience.
Change is not easy, especially when it has to do with your behaviors. You should break the behavior change into small steps because small steps are easier to achieve and more likely to last. The change will be permanent if you want to change for yourself.

Grandfather was from Italy and was the only one in his family who settled down in the United States. The rest of his family remained in Europe. When World War I broke out, he seemed to have become another man, downhearted. Such obvious change was not born out of his welfare, but out of fear: if his only son, my uncle, had to go to war, it would be cousin fighting against cousin. 
One day in 1918, my Uncle Milton received his draft notice. My grandparents were very upset. But my mother, at the age of 10, felt on top of the world about her soldier brother going off to war. Realizing how he was regarded by his little sister and all of her friends, my uncle brought them all service pins, which meant that they had a loved one in the service. All the little girls were delighted. 
Then the moment came when my uncle and the other soldiers, without any training but all in uniforms, boarded the train. The band played and the crowd cheered. Although no one noticed, I’m sure my grandmother had a tear in her eyes for the only son. The train slowly pulled out, but not about a thousand yards when it suddenly paused. Everyone stared in wonder as the train slowly returned to the station. There was a dead silence before the doors opened and the men started to step out. Someone shouted,“The war is over”. For a moment, nobody moved, but then the people heard someone bark orders at the soldiers. The men lined up in two lines, walked down the steps, and with the band playing, marched down the street, as returning heroes, to be welcomed home. My mother said it was a great day, but she was just a little disappointed that it didn’t last a tiny bit longer. 
41. My grandfather most worried about         
A. the spread of the world war            B. the safety of his living two cousins
C. a drop in his living standards          D. his relatives killing each other
42. The underlined phrase “draft notice” means “        “
A. a letter of rejection                  B. a train ticket for Europe
C. an order for army service      D. a note of warning
43. What did the “service pins”(in Para. 2)stand for in the eyes of the little girls?
A. Honor   B. Courage.   C. Victory.   D. Strength.
44. Which of the following words can best describe the ending of the story?
A. Disappointing.  B. Inspiring   C. Uncertain.  D. Unexpected.

In front of a popular restaurant, a line of customers wait for taxis. And wait. Most of the cabs(taxis) are full. That’s nothing unusual in this city of 4 million people. But it’s 2:30 in the morning.
Visitors to the Olympic Games may leave disappointed if they see Athens only through the eyes of the typical tourist, who makes a beeline of the islands after the visit to the Acropolis(雅典衛(wèi)城) and the unusual and attractive Plaka district. To fully appreciate and discover Athens’ many charms(魅力), do as the Greeks do: walk out into the neighborhoods, find the packed nightclubs, eat at one of the innumerable(數(shù)不清的) restaurants, or see Hollywood stars under real stars in a romantic outdoor cinema.
The Greek capital is named for the ancient goddess Athena, whose favourite animal was the owl(貓頭鷹). It’s a fitting symbol for the city’s nocturnal (夜里的) nature, which often reaches its highest point in summer with a rush hour just before dawn.
As native Athenian Panos Demestiha said, Athens by day is unlivable(不宜居住的), but it’s magical at night. Athenians face up to heavy traffic block, decreasing green space, dusty streets… City officials are using the momentum(契機(jī)) of the August 13-29 Olympics to fix some of these problems and make city life morebearable.
72. To the surprise of the visitors to Athens , ____.
A.most of the cabs are often full all day long
