We sent several messages back and forth, 49 the latest news. When we would “chat” like that, she wouldn’t 50 know if it was me or her dad. That night, she didn’t ask and I didn’t identify myself either. At about 11, I commented that I should go to sleep. Her return message 51 , “Okay, talk to you later! Love you!” As I read this message, a wave of 52 ran through me and I realized that she 53 she was talking with her father. Feeling 54 for not identifying myself, yet not wanting to embarrass her, I simply responded, “Love you too! Good night!” I felt again the sharp (剧烈的) ache of emptiness (空虚) and otherness. Then, as I was 55 to leave, Margo’s final message appeared, reading “Tell Dad good night for me too.” With tears filled eyes, I turned the machine off. 36. A. most B. least C. present D. last 37.

第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） 请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 When Janet, a grade two student at a well-known school, was pestered(纠缠) by her classmates to join their group to steal from shops, she was shocked. She was a quiet, well-behaved girl and she did not understand why the girls had approached her. They showed her some of the things they had stolen and said that shop theft was great fun and very exciting. Then they threatened to beat Janet if she did not join them. Janet was deeply troubled. She did her best to avoid the group of the girls after classes, but they often waited for her outside the school and tried to persuade her to come with them. This problem is one which many school students in Hong Kong face. We asked the chairman of the local-fight-crime committee what Janet should do in these cases. “First of all, she could try to talk the other girls out of the whole thing. Being caught stealing from shops could ruin their futures and it is simply not worth the risk,” he said. “Young people may think that it is easy to get away with stealing from shops, but more and more stores now have plain clothes detectives who are dressed like customers. I would say shop thieves have a more than ninety percent chance of being caught.” “If they won’t listen to her, Janet should go to someone in charge in school, who can then decide if the matter can be dealt with by her or whether it is necessary to report the incident to the police.” 56. From the first three paragraphs we can learn that ____________. A. Janet didn’t know what to do with the case B. Janet faced the group bravely C. the group stole a lot of things D. the group were short of money 57. The underlined part “talk the other girls out of the whole thing” means ____________. A. discuss the possible result with them B. tell them about their futures C. persuade them to stop theft D. warn them not to disturb her 58. One of the suggestions to Janet is to ____________. A. report the situation to the police B. ask the local-fight-crime committee for advice C. hire a detective to catch them D. turn to her teacher for help

My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him, but the more I tried, the more he pulled away. When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six failing grades for the year. At this rate he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked. One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and pleaded for help. “Please God, I can’t do anything more for my son. I’m at the end of my rope. I’m giving the whole thing up to you.” I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences.” Before he could say another word, I choked up and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son but I just don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It’s out of my hands.” For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time,” and hung up. Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. Finally, he even made the honor roll. In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded. “That was me. I thought I’d play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That’s when I knew I had to make you proud.” 59. By saying “Karl became withdrawn”, the author means that the boy changed entirely and_____. A. preferred to stay alone at home B. lost interest in his studies C. refused to talk to others D. began to dislike his mother 60. There was silence on the other end of the line because . A. the speaker was too moved to say anything to the mother B. the speaker waited for the mother to finish speaking C. the speaker didn’t want the mother to recognize his voice D. the speaker was unable to interrupt the mother 61. The sentence “... he even made the honor roll” means that . A. he was even on the list to be praised at the parent-teacher meeting B. he was even on the list of students who made progress in grades C. he was even on the list of students who had turned themselves around D. he was even on the list of the best students at school 62. What is the main idea of this passage? A. Children in single-parent families often have mental problems. B. Mother’s love plays an important role in teenagers’ life. C. Being understood by parents is very important to teenagers. D. School education doesn’t work without full support from parents.

When former American President Bill Clinton traveled to South Korea to visit President Kim Young Sam, he repeatedly referred to the Korean president’s wife as Mrs．Kim．By mistake, President Clinton’s advisers thought that Koreans have the same naming customs as the Japanese．Clinton had not been told that, in Korea, wives keep their family names．President Kim Young Sam’s wife was named Sohm Myong Suk．Therefore, she should be addressed（称谓）as Mrs．Sohn． President Clinton arrived in Korea directly after leaving Japan and had not changed his culture gears．His failure to follow Korean customs gave the impression that Korea was not as important to him as Japan． In addition to Koreans, some Asian husbands and wives do not share the same family names．This practice often puzzles English-speaking teachers when talking with a pupil’s parents．They become puzzled about the student’s correct last name．Placing the family name first is common among a number of Asian cultures． Mexican naming customs are different as well．When a woman marries, she keeps her family name and adds her husband’s name after the word de （of）．This affects how they fill in forms in the United States．When requested to fill in a middle name, they generally write the father’s family name．But Mexicans are addressed by the family name of the mother．This often causes puzzlement． Here are a few ways to deal with such difficult situations: don’t always think that a married woman uses her husband’s last name．Remember that in many Asian cultures, the order of first and last names is reversed. Ask which name a person would prefer to use．If the name is difficult to pronounce, admit it, and ask the person to help you say it correctly． 63．The story of Bill Clinton is used to ． A．improve US Kotean relations B．introduce the topic of the text C．describe his visit to Korea D．tell us how to address a person 64．The word “gears” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ． A．action plans B．naming customs C．travel maps D．thinking patterns 65．When a woman marries in Koreas, she ． A．continues to use her family name B．uses her husband’s given name C．shares her husband’s family name D．adds her husband’s given name to hers 66．To address a married woman properly, you’d better ． A．use her middle name B．use her husband’s first name C．ask her which name she likes D．change the order of her names

Fred Michel is one of 7.2 million Americans who moonlight, or hold more than one job. Once a week, after his day job as medical director of a mental health center, the 40-year-old psychiatrist(精神病大夫) heads to a part-time job at a treatment center for young people. Twice a month, he travels three hours to another teenage treatment center. Last year, 5.4 percent of the American workforce held second jobs, according to the US Labor Department, and that looks set to increase this year. Many workers like the safety that moonlighting provides, says Carl Hausamn, the writer of “Moonlighting:148 Great Ways to Make Money on the Side.” The information from the US Labor Department shows that 40 percent of US moonlighters in 1997 took a second job to meet household expenses or pay off debts. Others save money or buy some special things. People also take second jobs with an eye to the future – wanting to try out a new field or gain experience. Michel started moonlighting when medical systems were unstable (不稳定的). He wanted to make sure he wasn’t tied to one system that ended up failing . Just as the purposes for moonlighting vary, the moonlighters cross all age and racial groups. And they work in a variety of industries –no longer just service, office and sale jobs. “Technology just affects your ability to make money,” Hausman says. “That makes a frequent change in moonlighting.” As its name means, moonlighting still occurs mostly at night. And that results in some pressures. Chief among them is time. Full-time employers could misunderstand, too. Some companies do not allow after-hour work because they fear it will affect their employees’ 9-to-5 performance. “The primary employer is saying, ‘Wait, I’m paying you for the sharp, fresh, energetic you,’” says Tom Gimbel, president and founder of LaSalle Staffing in Chicago. “If you’re burning yourself at both ends, it’s going to show.” Still, the good done to the moonlighters can be great. Besides extra income, moonlighters enjoy variety, freedom and chance to do something new. They also may find their part-time jobs strengthen what they do full time. Besides, “it’s fun,” Michel says. Not only do this part-time jobs offer a chance to network, stretch his professional skills and make more money, but they also give him the variety he wouldn’t find just in a full-time job. “It’s a way of pulling from the spice cabinet” he says, “and offering a little variety throughout the day.” 67．What is the article mainly about ? A．The ways of moonlighting. B．The reasons for moonlighting. C．The problems with moonlighting. D．The kinds of people who moonlight. 68．The reason why Fred Michel began to moonlight is that ________. A．he found it exciting to do a part-time job B．he needed to make ends meet with more money C．he feared he would lose his present job one day D．he felt more and more pressure from his employer 69．Some companies don’t allow their workers to moonlight because they are afraid_________. A．their workers can not do extra-hour work for them B．their workers will be too tired to try their best at work C．their workers will one day turn to some other different jobs D．their workers will not get to work and be off work on time 70．The underlined sentence “It’s a way of pulling from the spice cabinet.” in the last paragraph means ________. A．moonlighting gets you away from the job you don’t enjoy B．moonlighting offers you freedom to make extra money C．moonlighting strengthens your professional skills D．moonlighting brings you chances to do something different

第四部分：任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题l分，满分l0分) 请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。 Reflecting (深思) is a special kind of thinking. In the first-place, it’s both active and controlled. When ideas pass aimlessly through your head, that is not reflecting. When someone tells you a story and suddenly makes you remember something that happened to you, that is not reflecting either. Reflecting means focusing your attention. It means weighing, considering, and choosing. Suppose you’re going home, and when you get there, you turn the knob (门的球形把手), the door opens and you step in. Getting into your home does not require reflection. But now suppose that when you turn the knob, the door does not open. To get into the house, some reflecting is in order. You have to think about what you are going to do. You have to imagine possibilities and consider choices. The second way that reflecting is different from some other kinds of thinking is that it’s persistent（连续的）. It requires continuous effort. Suppose you’re still trying to get through your front door. You check your pocket for the key. You walk around the house looking for an open window. You go to a phone to call a family member who has a key. Such behaviour is proof of persistent reflective thinking. And if someone asks you what you are doing, you may say that you are trying to figure out how to get into your house. But suppose, instead, you go to a nearby record store and look through the new records. If someone asks you what you are doing and you say that you are trying to figure out how to get into your house, that will not make sense. You are only reflecting as long as you stick to the problem or task. The third way that reflecting is different from some other kinds of thinking is that it’s careful. It aims at making sense. That doesn’t mean that reflecting cannot be imaginative. A great deal of reflection could go into writing a science-fiction story about people who can move through solid objects. The ability to walk through walls could make sense in a science-fiction story. But it wouldn’t make much sense in trying to get through your locked front door. Such imagining would be a kind of thinking, but it would not be reflection. Title: 71._____________
