第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题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。 David Beckham had a dream: to be the first English player to appear in four World Cups. But now it appears that dream is over after a serious injury to his Achilles tendon（跟腱）which means he could be out of action for around six months. With this year's World Cup in South Africa only three months away, sadly Beckham looks set to miss out. The injury happened while Beckham was playing for AC Milan against AC Chievo in the Italian league. After attempting to kick the ball he collapsed to the ground and hobbled off the pitch before being stretchered（被担架抬走）away. It is not yet known whether he has completely severed（切断）his Achilles tendon or only torn it. The player has now flown to Finland for assessment and treatment by a knee specialist. England manager Fabio Capello fears the worst for Beckham's World Cup chances. "We have to wait for the results of the scan but it looks like he is out of the World Cup," he said in a statement. "I spoke with him after the game on Sunday night to offer my support. "David is a great professional and has worked very hard to be ready for the World Cup, so missing it will be a big blow." Beckham's former manager at American club LA Galaxy, Alexei Lalas, echoed（共鸣）Capello's words of support: "It is a horrible situation for Beckham. I know how much it meant to him to be in the World Cup and how important he was to the England team. David Beckham is now 34 and some are asking whether this serious injury could mean his whole career is over. Whatever happens, as one of football's best-known and popular players, Beckham will have no shortage of encouragement from fans around the world. Some will remember Beckham's miraculous recovery from an Achilles injury in 2006, when he was back on the pitch after only eight weeks. If he could repeat the same feat，in time for the World Cup it really would be the stuff of fairytales. So, perhaps all is not lost. Optimists will take heart from Alexei Lalas' words: "You never want to write off（排除）David Beckham as he has shown us his ability to bounce back（恢复原状）." 56．What is the best title of the passage? A．Beckham had a dream? B．Beckham—a great football player! C．The end for Beckham? D．World Cup in South Africa! 57．What does the author mean by saying “missing it will be a big blow?” A．Missing the World Cup will be a big success. B．Missing Beckham means a great failure. C．Missing Beckham means an important opportunity for the American club LA Galaxy. D．Missing the World Cup means a big disappointment for Beckham. 58．We may infer from the passage that____________ A．Beckham will definitely not be able to play football again B．Beckham was cured by a great knee specialist he found C．Beckham has his ability to bounce back D．Beckham is likely to miss the World Cup 59．What do the underlined words “take heart” probably mean? A．get disappointed B．get help C．get encouraged D．get hurt

If you look up the word “create” in the dictionary, you will find it means “to brig into being to cause to exist something each of us does daily.” We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way. First this involves an awareness of our surroundings. It means using all of our sonses to become aware of our world. This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture（质地）, as well as taste, when we plan a meal. Above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss. A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things. If we believe the expression, “There is nothing new under the sun, the creativity is remaking or recombining（重组） the old in new ways.” For example, we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture, or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters to create an unusual photograph. A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas, to apply them to achieve some new results. To think up a new concept is one thing; to put the idea to work is another. These three parts of creativity are involved in all the great works of genius, but they are also involved in many of our day-to-day activities. 64．Which of the following activities is NOT a creative one according to the passage? A．To prepare a meal. B．To arrange the furniture in a peculiar way. C．To buy some books from a bookstore. D．To “write” a letter with the computer. 65．“There is nothing new under the sun.” (Par.3) really implies that ____. A．a new thing can only be created at the basis of earlier things B．a new thing is only a tale C．we can seldom create new things D．we can scarcely see really new things in the world 66．What does the author think about the relationship between a new thought and its being put into practice? A．It´s more difficult to create a new thought than to apply it in practice. B．To find a new thought will definitely lead to the production of a new thing. C．A man with an excellent ability of practice can easily become an inventor. D．One may come up with a new thought, but can not put it into practice. 67．The best title for this passage is ____. A．How to Cultivate One´s Creativity B．What is Creativity C．The Importance of Creativity D．Creativity, a Not Farway Thing

In summer, millions of people will head for the beach. And while the ocean can be a great place to swim and play, it may also be useful in another way. Some scientists think that waves could help make electricity. “Have you ever been on a surfboard or boat and felt yourself being lifted up by a wave? Or have you jumped in the water and felt the energy as waves crashed over you?” asked Jamie Taylor of the Wave Energy Group at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland．“There is certainly a lot of energy in waves．” Scientists are working on using that energy to make electricity． Most waves are created when winds blow across the ocean．“The winds start out by making little ripples (波纹) in the water, but if they keep on blowing , those ripples get bigger and bigger and turn into waves, ”Taylor said．“Waves are one of nature’s ways of picking up energy and then sending it off on a journey．” When waves come towards the shore, people can set up dams or other barricades to block the water and send it through a large wheel called a turbine (涡轮) ．The turbine can then power an electrical generator (发电机) ． The United States and a few other countries have started doing research on wave energy , and it is already being used in Scotland． The resource is huge．We will never run out of wave power, besides, wave energy does not create the same pollution as other energy sources, such as oil and coal． Oceans cover three quarters of the earth’s surface．That would make wave power seem perfect for creating energy around the world．There are some drawbacks, however． Jamie Taylor said that wave power still cost too much money．He said that its effects on animals in the sea were still unknown．Plus, wave power would get in the way of fishing and boat traffic． With more research, however, “many of these problems might be overcome,” Taylor said．“Demand for energy to power our TVs and computers, drive our cars, and heat and cool our homes is growing quickly throughout the world．Finding more energy sources is very important, for traditional sources of energy like oil and gas may run out some day．” In the future, when you turn on a light switch, an ocean wave could be providing the electricity! 68．Which of the following is NOT true? A．Wave power costs too much money． B．Wave energy creates the same amount of pollution as other energy sources． C．Wave power affects fishing and boat traffic． D．Wave power may affect marine animals． 69．We can infer from the passage that ______． A．finding more new energy sources is not necessary because of wave energy B．wave energy is a resource that will never run out and is used all over the world C．wave power is perfect for creating energy around the world D．wave power doesn’t create any pollution 70．The underlined word “drawbacks” probably means ______． A．regrets B．adventures C．disadvantages D．difficulties 71．What can be the best title for the passage? A．How to Get Electricity by Waves． B．The Advantages of Wave Energy. C．Can Waves Make Electricity? D．The Disadvantages of Wave Energy．

第Ⅱ卷（非选择题，共35分） 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分） 第一节任务型读写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 请认真阅读下列短文，并根据短文内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。 A student tries to figure out a major that suits her. Bored by the Chinese courses he was majoring in, Zuo Cheng, 18, couldn’t imagine having to drag himself into class day after day, week after week, for four years. After rounds of examinations and interviews, he managed to transfer to the Department of International Accounting. “It may seem like I’ve wasted a year and have to start college all over again, but now that I’ve settled on a field I’ll be able to concentrate,” Zuo said. Zou is not alone. “When we were in high school very few of us understood how maajor relates to career. Many students picked colleges before majors, only to discover their mistake a few weeks after arrival on the campus,” said Jiang Xin, 20, who was able to switch to electrical engineering and automation from physics. He said that physics graduates had few other options besides going into teaching. He added that a career in education just didn’t suit him. “I should have better job prospects（前景）and the chance to earn more money once I graduate,” Jiang said. A new survey, of 2,500 students nationwide starting in September this year, suggests that as much as 35 percent of the students are disappointed by their courses. The least happy are those majoring in bioengineering, traditional Chinese medicine and math, while students of architecture, economics and foreign languages are the happiest, owing to good career prospects. However, Shao Yanfang, who works at the admissions office of University of International Business and Economics in Beijing, advised students to consider both short-and long-term goals. “After graduation do you want to find yourself in a job very specifically related to your college major? Or, would you like to posses the knowledge and skills that will enable you to work in many areas? There are the questions students need to consider. Above all, your choice of major should be based on your own interests, abilities and personality.” Shao said.
