He never tells the truth about anything bad, or anything that he thinks is 29 to me, even though I’ve told him that I don’t 30 hearing these things. He’s the 31 man I have ever met, who never hurts others, as well as the cruelest man, for he’s always hard on himself. Every time I phoned home from college and asked Dad how his 32 was getting on, he would always reply,“Oh, couldn’t be 33 !” When I asked my mum the same question on the phone, 34 , she honestly told me every 35 with Dad’ s business. I didn’t blame Dad for his 36 . Instead I showed concern for him. Dad is a miser(吝啬鬼), undoubtedly. I hardly see Dad wear 37 clothes. In fact, his closet(衣橱)is half empty. Even in this half, two-thirds is occupied by Mum’s clothes and the other one-third belongs to him. I 38 him to buy some new clothes, 39 he simply shook his head,“The old clothes are still good enough.”Were they？I saw holes in them! It tore my heart up when I saw Dad cough terribly with his hand covering his 40 . When the pains became very serious, he 41 took some medicine. So it surprised 42 when the day came that Dad got sick. He was lying in bed, and all the family gathered around him. I knelt by his bedside, tears filling my eyes. Dear Dad, you’ve been pushing yourself too hard, which you should not have.

Pay attention in class Do you have trouble paying attention in class? Are you sitting next to a loud person? Tell your teacher or parents about any problem that is preventing you from paying attention. Take good notes Write down facts that your teacher mentions or writes on the board. Try to use good handwriting so you can read your notes later. It’s a good idea to keep your notes organized by subject. Plan ahead for tests and projects Waiting until Thursday night to study for Friday’s test will make it hard to do your best. One of the best ways to make sure that doesn’t happen is to plan ahead. Write down your test dates. You can then plan how much to do after school each day, and how much time to spend on each topic. Break it up When there’s a lot to study, it can help to break things into several parts. Let’s say you have a spelling test on 20 words. Instead of thinking about all of the words at once, try breaking them down into five-word groups and work on one or two different groups each night. Ask for help You can’t study effectively if you don’t understand the material. Be sure to ask your teacher for help. If you’re at home when the confusion occurs, your morn or dad might be able to help. Sleep tight So the test is tomorrow and you’ve followed your study plan—but suddenly you can’t remember anything! Don’t panic. Your brain needs time to digest all the information you’ve given it. Try to get a good night’s sleep and you’ll be surprised by what comes back to you in the morning. 44.We know from the passage that a loud person is . A.a student who always answers questions loudly in class B.someone who likes to talk with others in a loud voice C.a student who likes speaking with others in class D.a person who makes a lot of noise in public places 45.According to the author, which of the following is an effective studying method? A.Don’t try to review everything you have learned in one go. B.Try to review what you’ve learned in one go. C.To read all your notes the night before the test. D.Try to remember everything on the first try. 46.If you don’t understand what you have learnt, you can . A.read your notes over and over again B.turn to people around you for help C.put aside the material for later review 韩教练 13910305542 http://blog.sina.com.cn/hanlaoshi139 ? ? ? h t t p :/ /b l o g .s i n a .c o m .c n /h a n l a o s h i 13 9 韩教练英语倍速训练 第 5 页 年 月 日 D.ask your teacher to explain it the next day 47.By saying“Sleep tight”, what does the author mean? A.Sleep again after waking up. B.Sleep holding your breath deep. C.Get a good night’s sleep. D.Go to sleep early every night. (B) On my daily visits to the Hauman Park, I would always see a little boy sitting with a basket of fresh floral garlands (花环). From six in the morning until nine at night, he would try his best to sell his garlands. I often went to the park and each time he saw me, the boy would beg me to buy a garland. But somehow I never did. Even when I came out, he would follow me to my ear, begging me to buy one at least. I went back to the park recently after staying away for some months. The boy was there, seated exactly as before. I tried to avoid his gaze, thinking that he would follow me. But he didn’t move. I went inside the park and came back. But he made no effort to sell his garlands. I thought he was angry or just showing his own self-respect. He looked at me but didn’t speak. This was strange. I gathered my courage and asked,“Why are you not asking me to buy your garlands？” He said,“Why should I ask? You are rich but you can’t spend five dollars on a garland. Anyway now I am not so desperate. My sister was suffering from cancer and I had to work to buy her medicine. My father had left us. My mother makes the garlands and I sell them. We used the money for my sister’s medicine. But she passed away two months ago. You can now take one for free.” 48.The little boy sat near the Hanuman Park is order to . A.look for his parents B.wait for someone who was rich C.see one of his best friends D.make some money by selling garlands 49.When the little boy asked the author to buy a garland, the author . A.would be happy to buy one B.would buy one from other boys C.tried to hide himself in the car D.always refused to buy one 50.The underlined word“gaze”is closest in meaning to .

A.had taken a garland for free B.hadn’t tried to help the boy C.had never seen the boys’sister D.had been angry with the boy (C) I am an advocate of my son. I made it my duty to inform all of his high school teachers and headmasters that our family goal was for him to attend college. When you, the parent, inform a teacher that the family has high expectations for your child, then that teacher takes on a whole different attitude to him or her. When Chris started high school, I started my habit of keeping a record of his absences and lateness for school on my calendar at home. In a way, it pleased him that I cared so much. One term in his junior year, he came home with a report card that showed three times as many days as absence from school as I had on my calendar. When I asked him http://blog.sina.com.cn/hanlaoshi139 韩教练 13910305542 ? ? ? h t t p :/ /b l o g .s i n a .c o m .c n /h a n l a o s h i 13 9 2009 年 1 月高二（东城区） 第 6 页 韩教练英语倍速训练 about it, he looked at the report card and his eyes got very wide. “That must be a mistake, Mom,”he said.“Maybe there was an error in the computer.” He told me that he had not been staying away from school. While I was prepared to believe him, I also needed to check with the school to make sure. The next morning, I went with Chris before school to the headmaster’ s office and showed him the report card with the number of absences. He spoke up immediately. “Oh, Ms, Chandler, I’m so sorry. We are planning to inform all the parents that there was a glitch in the reporting of the days absent for all the kids. I don’ t think any of them went out correct. Chris was here when he says he was here.” I was relieved that everything was all right, and as I left his office the headmaster said to me,“Hundreds of report cards went out with the wrong number of absences, but you’re the only parent who has called or stopped in to check up on it.” 52.Why did the author go to her son’s school with the report card? A.To show her record. B.To find out the truth. C.To correct the mistake. D.To prove Chris was a liar(说谎者). 53.The underlined word“glitch”in paragraph 6 can be best replaced by“ ”. A.problem B.correction C.statement D.change 54.It can be inferred from the passage that the author . A.changed all teachers’attitudes to her son B.had high expectations for her son’s school C.was dissatisfied with her son’s behavior D.was a responsible mother 第二部分 (非选择题 共 37.5 分) 一、听力理解(共 5 小题，7.5 分) 第三节：听下面对话，根据题目要求写下关键信息。你将听两遍材料。 听下面对话，根据题目要求在相应题号后的横线上写下第 1 题至第 5 题的相关信息。 STOLEN PROPERTY RECORD FORM(被盗物品登记表) Name Mary Smith Tel.

People began to concentrate less on religious themes and 1 a more humanistic attitude to life. 2 painters returned to classical Roman and Greek ideas about art. They tried to paint people and nature as they really were. Rich people wanted to possess their own paintings, 3 they could decorate their superb palaces and great houses. They paid famous artists to paint pictures of themselves, their houses and possessions 4 their activities and achievements. One of the most important 5 during this period was how to draw things in perspective. This technique was first used by Masaccio in 1428. 6 people first saw his paintings, they were convinced that they were looking through a hole in a wall at a real scene. If the rules of perspective had not been discovered, no one would have been able to 7 such realistic pictures. 8 , oil paints were also developed at this time, which made the colors 9 in paintings look richer and deeper. 10 the new paints and the new technique, we would not be able to see the many great masterpieces for which this period is famous. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 三、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。(答案不多于 3 个词)(共 5 小题，5 分) Children are natural poets. Having a love of rhymes and words, our Grand Prize Poetry Competition is no exception. A gifted writer, ten-year-old Connie Li describes the beauty of spring as it wakes from a long winter’s sleep in her poem “Spring Has Come.” Learning that she was a finalist in the Rhyme Time Poetry Competition, the fifth grader was excited. She wrote the prize-winning poem during a class at her school in California.“My teacher is quite interested in writing! Whenever we finish writing something, her face always shines brightly,”she said. “When I entered the poem, I never imagined that I’d win. I was just expecting to see my poem in the magazine,”said Connie.“Every time I start a poem, I become absorbed in it and look forward to completing it.” The gifted youngster has many interests—artistic and athletic.“My favorite thing is art competitions. I enjoy drawing very much,” said Connie.“I like art, reading books, and skiing. I like Social Studies because I find it very interesting.” Connie recently came out first in her school’s spelling competition and now looks forward to achieving another dream.“My New Year’s resolve is to go to the Scripps National Spelling Bee,” said the young student.“I really hope I make it.” Her teachers are behind her.“She is really advanced in her writing and does better than all of her classmates,”said her teacher. Considering her talent, drive and determination, Connie is certainly a competitor in whatever activity she takes part in. http://blog.sina.com.cn/hanlaoshi139 韩教练 13910305542 ? ? ? h t t p :/ /b l o g .s i n a .c o m .c n /h a n l a o s h i 13 9 2009 年 1 月高二（东城区） 第 8 页 韩教练英语倍速训练 1.How did the girl feel when she heard the news of her winning in the contest? 2.When did she write the prize-winning poem? 3.What kind of girl is Connie Li? 4.What does the writer mean by saying“her teachers are behind her”? 5.What does the writer mainly talk about in the passage? 四、完成句子(共 5 分) 1.Though I ’m not a scholar, the idea of going to see the exhibition (很有吸
