The lady with the white fence taught me to leave the gate to life open………
When my husband died of a brain disease, I became very angry. Life was not 36 . I hated being alone. One day, as I was 37 down a busy street in town, I suddenly noticed a new fence, www.ks5u.com which was being set up 38 a house. I pulled off to the side to really admire the fence.

“The fence is not there for my 43 ”, the lady explained to me in a(n) 44 voice. “I live alone. But so many people drive by every day, and I thought they 45 be glad to see something really nice. People see my fence and wave. 46 stop like you and come up to veranda(走廊) to have a chat.”
“ 47 weren’t you sad when they expanded the road and everything changed so much?” I asked.
Her reply 48 my life. “Change is a part of life and takes part in 49 us who we are. When something we do not like happens to us, we have two choices: to become a 50 person or to become a better person.”
I carefully left the gate 51 and drove on with a new feeling inside me. I could not 52 what it was, but I could feel the 53 stone wall around my angry heart breaking off. And 54 a pretty white fence was built. I decided that I would keep the gate open for everything and everyone that came my 55 .

第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
American middle school students don't seem to care that they're worse at maths than their counterparts(同龄人) in China's Hong Kong and Finland. "I don't need it," my student says. "I'm going to be a basketball star. Or a car mechanic, or a singer."
Middle school students' maths skills were tested by the International Organization for Economic Co--operation and Development. The United States ranked 28th out of 41 countries tested. After all, when was the last time you used algebra(代数)?
But maths isn't just about training Americans to become scientists. It has its own value. It helps you see patterns and develops your logic skills, and it teaches you to concentrate and to separate truth from falsehood. Maths helps you make wise financial decisions, so you can avoid false claims from advertisers, politicians and others. It helps you determine risk. For example, after an airplane crash, studies show that people are more likely to drive than to take a plane in spite of the fact that they are much more likely to be killed or injured while driving. Planes are not like criminals who repeat the same crime over and over. One plane is not more likely to crash just because another plane recently did. In fact, the most dangerous time to drive is probably right after a plane crash because so many people are on the road.
It is not possible to really understand science and the scientific method without understanding maths. A rainbow is even more beautiful and amazing when we understand it.
The precision of maths helps us think in a very special way. How do we bring the learning of maths back to life? I don't have the big answer. I try my best to help pupils find answers to some maths problems. When I can get one to say, "wow, that's great," I feel the joy of a small victory.
56. Some American students don't care about their poor maths results because .
A. maths is useless to most people
B. they have no interest in maths
C. they think maths has nothing to do with their future
D. they don't do well in maths
57. The example in Paragraph 3 is used to show .
A. every coin has its two sides
B. we should not be cheated by fault facts
C. maths is close to our daily life
D. a simple fact shows complicated rules
58. The writer would agree that .
A. it's normal that American kids are weak in maths
B. without maths we'11 miss much in our life
C. maths is the most important subject at school
D. American kids don't work hard at school
59. This text is most probably written by .
A. a student career guide
B. a researcher on students’ problems
C. a specialist in students’ studies
D. a maths teacher

Looking for Canadian culture? Try checking out the ice rink. "We love hockey," says Marion Alexander, a Canadian English teacher in Beijing. "It really is Canada's sport."
There is no other sport so close to the hearts of Canadians and no other sport in which they have been so successful. But how much do you know about hockey?
Hockey is played on a court of ice called a rink. Each team has six players-a goalie (goal keeper), a center, two defensemen, and two forwards. All of them wear ice skates. Instead of a ball, hockey players use a puck(冰球), a small black object made of rubber.
Each team tries their best to hit the puck with their hockey sticks into the other team's goal. Whichever team scores the most goals at the end of the three periods is the winner. "Hockey has a lot of rules," says Alexander, "But once you are used to it, it seems very natural."
In Canada, hockey is part of the national identity. Many Canadians play hockey when they are growing up and many families make a tradition of watching the games. "I played goalie when I was younger," remembers Alexander. "My family would always watch the Calgary Flames (a team in the National Hockey League) play on TV."
Hockey doesn't just unite families. It also brings the whole country together, especially during the Olympics. "Canada is a diverse country that doesn't have a strong unified culture like China. That is why hockey is so important. Supporting the national team brings all of Canada together," says Alexander.
60. The passage is mainly concerned with .
A. the origin and development of hockey
B. people's attraction to hockey
C. the rules and significance of hockey
D. the role of hockey in Canadian culture
61. Hockey is important to Canadians for the following reasons EXCEPT that .
A. it is Canadians' favorite sport B. it is an event at the Olympics
C. it is part of the national identity D. it helps unify the whole country
62. What does the sentence “Canada is a diverse country that doesn't have a strong unified culture like China” imply? .
A. Canadians are not as friendly as Chinese.
B. Canadians are not as united as Chinese
C. There are not so many things that bring all of Canada's people together.
D. There are not so many sports in Canada as in China.
63. What's the author's attitude towards hockey in the article? .
A. Supportive. B. Opposing. C. Neutral. D. Negative.

Dior was born in Normandy in 1905, and his family' s original plans for him included a career in the diplomatic service, but by the time he was twenty-three, with his parents' money, he opened a small art gallery in Paris. By 1931, the money had been used up. Dior' s friends in the art gallery, asked him to draw and he took his first step at designing and drawing. His first job was with Lucien Lelong from whom Dior learned his craft (手艺).
In February, 1947, Dior started the New Look in his first major Paris collection. He was backed by a famous textile producer, Boussac, who looked after the dollars, while Dior looked after the fashions. Dior knew nothing about cutting and sewing, but he was good at fashion design.
The New Look started an entirely different look to costume, with a tiny waist, a rounded shoulder and a shapely bust (胸围) , usually with a low-cut neckline and a long, full skirt. To women who had lived through the war years, the femaleness of the New look was a great success, for people were tired of tile extremely plain, wartime restrictive fashions.
It is said that dresses by Dior were "constructed like buildings," but young people were attracted to his design, and all over the western world, manufacturers plunged (投入) into the production of his new style. Dior's revolutionary designs lighted up a whole cycle of fashion, rounded, gentle, feminine, a delight in elegance. A New Look House of Dior opened in 1948, followed by one in London. Considered as King of Couture (women' s clothing) for years, the Dior empire grew until it covered every country in the western world, and included furs, hosiery, jewelry, perfumes, men's wear and on and on. More than 1,000 people worked at the Paris headquarters then.
His sudden death in 1957 when he was 54 years old did not stop the growth of the House of Dior. Even now, so many years after his death, his name is closely connected with fashion throughout the world, and indeed is one of the most recognized names in the world. His first, great New Look, with its long skirts was an expression of freedom in the late 1940s.
. Which of the following designs is close to Dior' s?
65. According to the passage, in Dior's life, he did NOT .
A. make creative fashion designs
B. work in a diplomatic service
C. learn craft as his first job
D. open a New Look House
66. We can infer from the passage that .
A. Dior and his supporter had different interests in business
B. Dior' s New Look had little influence on people then
C. Dior is only a brand of women' s fashion
D. Dior' s fashion was not accepted at first
67. What is probably the best title for the passage? .
A. The History of the New Look
B. The Growth of the Dior Empire
C. An Expression of Freedom--Dior
D. The Founder of the New Look—Dior

Few in the West seemed to notice when the International Olympic Committee(lOC) decided to award the 2014 Winter Games to the Russian town of Sochi. Yet this choice is full of geopolitical meaning.
President Vladimir Putin flew to Guatemala City to address IOC delegates before they voted, and surprised them by speaking in French and for the first time ever in public-----English. Later he declared that Sochi’s victory was "not only a recognition of Russia’s achievements in sports" but also "an assessment of our country".
Sochi, located between the Caucasus and the Black Sea, has poor roads, one old ski resort(胜地) and out-of-date facilities. In the next five years it will be transformed by a burst of construction unprecedented(前所未有的) in the history of Russia. Winning the Olympic bid has given Russian politicians a focus, a $12 billion project they can use to showcase their power and .that of their country. Several have already announced big investments in Sochi.
Olympic planners will have to assure that the Sochi project does not collapse under the weight of corruption(), which Russian officials are famous for. With many eyes watching, they will also have to develop the green landscape around Sochi, where some of Europe's last wild bears roam in primitive mountain forests, with more care for the environment than.Russia has traditionally shown.
Sochi also sits on the edge of a region that has been boiling with ethnic(民族的) and political tension since the collapse of the Soviet Union. In past centuries it was ruled by both Georgia and Abkhaia, which is now a breakaway region of Georgia. Russia backs the rebel regime in Abkhazia, but as the Olympics approach it may feel it needs to be careful.
The president of Georgia, Mikhail Saakashvili, might have bitterly protested the Olympic Committee's decision to award the Winter Games to a country that actively supports rebels within Georgia. Instead he was wise enough to realize that this event could push Russia toward compromise (妥协) solutions in Abkhazia and perhaps even in Ossetia, Nagorno-Karabakh and Chechnya.
68. We can infer from the second paragraph that President Vladimir Putin often speaks in public in .
A. Russian B. French C. English D. Spanish
69. Although Sochi has poor transportation and unsatisfying facilities, holding the 2014 Winter Olympic Games there obviously gives it a chance .
A. to ask the IOC for more money B. to break away from Georgia
C. to challenge the world D. to develop
70. From the fourth paragraph we can infer that the writer is concerned about .
A. how to protect the environment from damage while large scale construction is going on
B. the capability of Russian government to hold the Olympic Games
C. the corruption of some Russian government officials
D. how to do away with the mountain forests around Sochi
71. What does the underlined word "it" in the fifth paragraph refer to? .
A. The rebel regime in Abkhazia. B. Georgia.
C. Sochi. D. Russia.
72. From the last paragraph we know that .
A. the president of Georgia strongly protested the IOC's decision
B. the Olympic Games might be a chance to ease regional tensions
C. the IOC backs the rebels in Georgia
D. Georgia wants to break away from Russia

When we think about giving help to developing countries, we often think about giving money so that these countries can build schools and hospitals, buy food and medicine, or find clean water supplies. These seem to be the most important basic needs of the people we are trying to help. However, it's far from enough. Ladies and gentlemen, we've got to come up with some better ideas to help them.
I was very surprised, then, when I read about a plan to make cheap laptop computers for children in developing countries. A man called Nicholas Negroponte invented a cheap laptop computer, which can run without electricity. He decided to invent this computer after he visited a school in Cambodia.
The laptop which Mr. Negroponte has designed is a little different from the normal laptop computers you can buy in the shops. One difference is that it will be covered in rubber so that it is very strong and won't be damaged easily. As an electricity supply can be a problem in developing countries, the computer also has a special handle so that children can wind the computer up to give it extra power when needed.
These special laptop computers will cost less than 100 US dollars and Mr. Negroponte wants to build as many as 15 million machines in the first year of production. The idea is that these computers will help the children's education as they will be able to access the Internet. These computers might not help the people in developing countries immediately, but by improving children's education they should help people to find their own solutions to their problems in the long term.
Another idea to help children in developing countries is to recycle old mobile phones so that they can be used again. www.ks5u.com In the UK, and probably in many other countries too, millions of mobile phones are thrown away every year. The waste created by throwing away these old phones is very bad for the environment, so it seems to be an excellent idea to recycle them. In this way we will be able to achieve two important goals at the same time. We will reduce the waste we produce and help others. In other words, we will be able to 'kill two birds with one stone’, and that is always a good thing.
73. It's an excellent idea to recycle old mobile phones because .
A. it reduces waste and can help others
B. it prevents waste and can earn lots of money
C. it can send the waste produced by developed countries to other countries
D. it is good for the environment and very educative for phone users
74. The author gives the example of Mr. Negroponte’s cheap computers .
A. to show what high tech can bring us
B. to illustrate the kindness of people in the developed countries
C. to show how to find business opportunities in developing countries
D. to give an example of how to help developing countries
75. Where does this passage probably come from? .
A. A newspaper. B. A fashion magazine.
C. A lecture. D. An advertisement.

Whether or not should Senior 3 students go spring out?
We had a heated discussion on whether Senior 3 students should go spring outing.
Opinions are divided on the question. Most students, about 65%, are for the idea that Senior 3 students should go spring outing. They think it good for their health to be close to nature and breathe some fresh air. What’s more, they can relax themselves for a while and rest their brains so that they will be more energetic. They think it will do good to their studies.
On the other hand, about 35% students are against the idea. They say that with college entrance examination drawing near. They don’t feel like going anywhere. Besides, they think spring outing will take at least once day off. They can’t afford the time. They think they should fix their attention on their studies.
