Tales of the supernatural are common in all parts of Britain. In particular, there was (and perhaps still
is) a belief in fairies(仙女). Not all of these 21 are the friendly, people-loving characters that appear in
Disney films, and in some folktales they are 22 and cause much human suffering. This is true in the
tales about the Changeling. These tell the story of a mother whose baby grows 23 and pale and has
changed so much that it is almost 24 to the parents. It was then 25 that the fairies had come and
stolen the baby away and 26 the human baby with a fairy Changeling. There were many ways to
prevent this from happening: hanging a knife over the baby’s head while he slept or covering him with
some of his father’s clothes were just two of the recommended 27 . However, hope was not lost even
if the baby had been 28 . In those cases there was often a way to get the 29 baby back. You could
30 the Changeling on the fire—then it would rise up the chimney, and you would hear the sound of
fairies’ laughter and soon after you would find your own child safe and sound nearby.

Chinese proverbs are rich and they are still widely used in Chinese people’s daily life. 31 these
proverbs there are often interesting stories. For example, the proverb, “plucking up a crop 32 (help) it
英语试卷 第 1 页 （共 11 页）grow”, is based on the following story.
It is said that a short-tempered man in the Song Dynasty (960—1279) was very anxious to help
33 rice crop grow up quickly. He was thinking about 34 day and night. But the crop was growing
much slower than he expected.
One day, he came up with an idea 35 he would pluck up all of his crop a few inches. He did so the
next day.
He was very tired 36 doing this for a whole day, 37 he felt very happy since the crop did “grow”
38 (high).
His son heard about this and went to see the crop. Unfortunately the leaves of the crop began to
wither.
This proverb is saying we have to let things go in their 39 (nature) course. Being too anxious to
help an event develop often 40 (result) in the contrary to our intention.

第一节 阅读理解 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Parents and kids today dress alike, listen to the same music, and are friends. Is this a good thing?
Sometimes, when Mr. Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, listen to rock music together
and talk about interests both enjoy, such as pop culture, he remembers his more distant relationship
with his parents when he was a teenager.
“I would never have said to my mom, ‘Hey, the new Weezer album is really great. How do you like
it?’” says Ballmer. “There was just a complete gap in taste.”
Music was not the only gulf. From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations, earlier
generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits.
Today, the generation gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many families.
Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago. Now
they are comfortable and common. And parent—child activities, from shopping to sports, involve a
feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood.
No wonder greeting cards today carry the message, “To my mother, my best friend.”
But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents. “There’s
still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents out there, but there is a change happening,”
英语试卷 第 2 页 （共 11 页）says Kerrie, a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College. “In the middle of that change, there is a
lot of confusion among parents.”
Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes. They see the
1960s as a turning point. Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more
democratic process that encourages everyone to have a say.
“My parents were on the ‘before’ side of that change, but today’s parents, the 40-year-olds, were
on the ‘after’ side,” explains Mr. Ballmer. “It’s not something easily accomplished by parents these days,
because life is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharing interests does make it more fun to
be a parent now.”
41. The underlined word gulf in Para.3 most probably means _________.
A. interest B. distance C. difference D. separation
42. Which of the following shows that the generation gap is disappearing?
A. Parents help their children develop interests in more activities.
B. Parents put more trust in their children’s abilities.
C. Parents and children talk more about sex and drugs.
D. Parents share more interests with their children.
43. The change in today’s parent-child relationship is _________.
A. more confusion among parents
B. new equality between parents and children
C. less respect for parents from children
D. more strictness and authority on the part of parents
44. By saying “today’s parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the ‘after’ side.” the author means that today’s
parents ____.
A. follow the trend of the change
B. can set a limit to the change
C. fail to take the change seriously
D. have little difficulty adjusting to the change
45. The purpose of the passage is to _________.
A. describe the difficulties today’s parents have met with
B. discuss the development of the parent-child relationship
C. suggest the ways to handle the parent-child relationship
英语试卷 第 3 页 （共 11 页）D. compare today’s parent-child relationship with that in the past
B
Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t love others until you love yourself. Sometimes
you’ll hear people say that you can’t expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either
way, you’ve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we’re the apple of our
parents’ eyes, and that our Grandmas think we’re great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will
go to the Olympics, but sometimes it’s a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you
find that believing in yourself is a challenge. It is time you build a positive self-image and learn to love
yourself.
Self-image is your own mind’s picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way
you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different
from the images others hold about us. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they
should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and
your whole world.
The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes.
That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don’t allow
doubts to occur in it.
It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can’t move past
one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as
your primary task. If you think you’re silly because you aren’t good at math, find a tutor. If you think
you’re weak because you can’t run a mile, get to the track and practice. If you think you’re dull because
you don’t wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes. But remember, just because you think it doesn’t
mean it’s true.
The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective,
and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on
those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can
pat(拍) yourself on the back, you’ll know you’re well on your way. Good luck!
46. You need to build a positive self-image when you _________.
A. dare to challenge yourself B. feel it hard to change yourself
C. are unconfident about yourself D. have a high opinion of yourself
英语试卷 第 4 页 （共 11 页）47. According to the passage, our self-images _________.
A. have positive effects B. are probably untrue
C. are often changeable D. have different functions
48. How should you change your self-image according to the passage?
A. To keep a different image of others. B. To make your life successful.
C. To understand your own world. D. To change the way you think.
49. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How to prepare for your success. B. How to face challenges in your life.
C. How to build a positive self-image. D. How to develop your good qualities.
50. Who are the intended readers of the passage?
A. Parents. B. Adolescents. C. Educators. D. People in general.
C
Napoleon, as a character in Tolstoy’s War and Peace, is more than once described as having “fat
little hands.’’ Nor does he “sit well or firmly on the horse.’’ He is said to be “undersized.’’ With “short
legs’’ and a “round stomach”. The issue here is not the accuracy of Tolstoy’s description—it seems not
that far off from historical accounts—but his choice of facts: other things that could be said of the man
are not said. We are meant to understand the difference of a warring commander in the body of a fat
little Frenchman. Tolstoy’s Napoleon could be any man wandering in the streets and putting a little of
powdered tobacco up his nose—and that is the point.
It is a way the novelist uses to show the moral nature of a character. And it turns out that, as
Tolstoy has it, Napoleon is a crazy man. In a scene in Book Three of War and Peace, the wars having
reached the critical year of 1812, Napoleon receives a representative from the Tsar(沙皇), who has
come with peace terms. Napoleon is very angry: doesn’t he have more army? He, not the Tsar, is the
one to make the terms. He will destroy all of Europe if his army is stopped. “That is what you will have
gained by engaging me in the war!” he shouts. And then, Tolstoy writes, Napoleon “walked silently
several times up and down the room, his fat shoulders moving quickly.’’
Still later, after reviewing his army amid cheering crowds, Napoleon invites the shaken Russian to
dinner. “He raised his hand to the Russian’s…face,” Tolstoy writes, and “taking him by the ear pulled it
gently….” To have one’s ear pulled by the Emperor was considered the greatest honor and mark of
favor at the French court. “Well, well, why don’t you say anything?’’ said he, as if it was ridiculous in his
英语试卷 第 5 页 （共 11 页）presence to respect any one but himself, Napoleon.
Tolstoy did his research, but the composition is his own.
51. Tolstoy’s description of Napoleon in War and Peace is _________.
A. far from the historical facts B. based on the Russian history
C. based on his selection of facts D. not related to historical details
52. Napoleon was angry when receiving the Russian representative because _________.
A. he thought he should be the one to make the peace terms
B. the Tsar's peace terms were hard to accept
C. the Russians stopped his military movement
D. he didn’t have any more army to fight with
53. What did Napoleon expect the Russian representative to do?
A. To walk out of the room in anger. B. To show agreement with him.
C. To say something about the Tsar. D. To express his admiration.
54. Tolstoy intended to present Napoleon as a man who is _________.
A. ill-mannered in dealing with foreign guests B. fond of showing off his iron will
C. determined in destroying all of Europe D. crazy for power and respect
55. What does the last sentence of the passage imply?
A. A writer doesn’t have to be faithful to his findings.
B. A writer may write about a hero in his own way.
C. A writer may not be responsible for what he writes.
D. A writer has hardly any freedom to show his feelings.

第二节 读写任务 (共1小题,满分25分)
阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
Hi, I am Mike. I just went through my first year of college. The toughest part on me at first was the
general adjustment. I went to a very small high school where my mom was a teacher and she did
practically everything for me. But at the college I needed to know some basic life skills. such as
balancing a check-book, laundry, and the things you have to be able to handle that I never thought of in
the high school! It was really tough for me at first and I got badly homesick.
Once that first semester was over and I got used to the college life, I loved it—good facilities,
helpful instructors. and a good library. The Students’ Union organizes various parties every week. I also
go to cinemas and concerts, and often spend Saturday nights in pubs and clubs.
One thing I think is important is to get yourself active in things. I was on the dance team in college
and met a ton of people that way ··· it was so much easier to make friends when you had a common
ground.

Shooting, originated as a means of survival, developed into a sport only in the late 19th
century. The sport first appeared in 1896, but none were contested during the 1904 and 1928
Games. The sport returned to the Olympics in 1932. Women were first allowed to compete in
the Olympic shooting in 1968. The sport has grown steadily from just three shooting events at
the 1896 Olympic Games to 17 today.

Preparing Myself for College Life
I’ve just heard of Mike’s story, from which I learnt that he went to a small school where he
knew little about basic skills. At college, he didn’t adjust himself to college life at first, but later
he enjoyed it.
Now, I’m studying in a rural high school. Though the conditions are not so good, my
teachers are very strict with me. I’m working hard at my lessons all day and all night, in order
to live up to my parents. After class, I have to do all everyday things by myself, such as
washing clothes, mending socks. I’m tired but happy.
I hope to have a happy and colorful life in the college. I wish I could do what I like to do
and take part in various kinds of activities in my spare time instead of doing homework. I think I
can read all kinds of books in the library and travel in the world of knowledge.
College life will be very different from that in high school. Everything is new to me. I’m
afraid I’ll get homesick. But I believe I’ll be able to adapt myself to the new environment and
make a lot of good friends.
