第二节：完型填空（20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） Many people say their most painful moments are saying goodbye to those they love. After watching Cheryl, my daughter-in-law, through the six long months her mother suffered towards death, I think the most painful 36 can be in the waiting to say goodbye. Cheryl made the two-hour trip over and over to be with her mother. They spent the long afternoons praying, comforting, and retelling their 37 memories. As her mother was getting 38, Cheryl always sat for hours 39 watching her mother sleeping. Each time she kissed her mother before leaving, her mother would say in 40, “I’m sorry you drove so far and sat for so long and I didn’t even 41 up to talk with you.” Cheryl would tell her it didn’t matter, still her mother felt 42 and apologized at each goodbye 43 the day Cheryl found a way to give her mother the same reassurance(安慰) her 44 had given to her so many times. “Mom, do you 45 when I made the high school basketball team?” Cheryl’s mother nodded. “For every game you’d 46 so far and sit for so long and I never even left the bench to play. Each time I felt 47 and apologized to you for wasting your time.” Cheryl 48 took her mother’s hand. “Do you remember what you would say to me?” “I would say I didn’t come to see you 49, I came to see you.” “And you 50 those words, didn’t you?” “Yes, I really did.” “Well, now I say the 51 words to you. I didn’t come to see you 52. I came to see you.” Her mother understood and smiled as she floated back into sleep. Their 53 together passed quietly into days, weeks, and months. To the last day they cared each other in the 54, love given and received just by seeing each other. A love so strong that, 55 in this deepened silence that followed their last goodbye, Cheryl can still hear her mother’s love. 36. A. moments B. business C. consequences D. failures 37. A. lost B. buried C. shared D. frozen 38. A. thinner B. stronger C. better D. worse 39. A. silently B. excitedly C. impatiently D. desperately 40. A. laughter B. tears C. despair D. happiness 41. A. catch B. keep C. wake D. sit 42. A. grateful B. sorry C. optimistic D. nervous 43. A. until B. since C. after D. while 44. A father B. mother C. mother-in-law D husband 45.

Watch out, Yahoo. There is a search engine out there with super speed and accuracy. It’s very cool. Google is the Web’s largest search engine. In just two years it has gained a reputation for surprising speed and accuracy, delivering what you are looking for in a second. The site now does this 40 million times a day --- a number achieved without spending a penny on a TV or newspaper ad. Google doesn’t need them. In the past six months alone, the site has won a Webby (the online version of the Oscar) for technical excellence, set a new record for search engines by indexing a billion Web pages. Yahoo still has ten times the audience, but Google consistently ranks first in customer satisfaction: 97% of users find what they are looking for most or all of the time. “You see people smile when they use it, like they’ve found something no one else knows about,” says Danny Sullivan, editor of an online newsletter. No one is smiling more than Larry Page, 27, and Sergey Brin, 26, who seem certain to become billionaires when the company goes public, probably sometime in 2004. they make a great comedy duo(成对的表演者)。When they first met as Ph. D. students, the pair say, they found each other horrible – “I still find him horrible,” adds Brin – but driven together by a computer-science project aimed at coming up with better ways of searching the Web. The idea behind the Google is that traditional search engines are stupid. They think relevance (关联) is based on repetition; if you type in a request for Tiger Woods, say, you’ll get websites listed according to how many times those words appear. Not only is this no guarantee of quality, but it’s also open to abuse. If you own a Tiger fan site and want to lead more people to it, simply type his name thousands of times in the site’s source code(编码). 1What does the underlined word “them” in the third paragraph refer to? A. 40 million times B. Speed and accuracy. C. TV and newspaper ads. D. Web pages 2. Which of the following win greater customer satisfaction? A. Yahoo B. Tiger Woods C. Larry Page D. Google 3. It can be inferred that Page and Brin ______________. A. hold very important positions in Google B. are two ordinary computer programmers of Google. C. used to hate each other very much D. hold quite different opinions of computer-science 4. We can learn from the last paragraph that ___________. A. Google is open to abuse B. Google remains a traditional search engine C. Google thinks relevance is based on repetition D Google is better than traditional search engines

Vincent Van Gogh was not always an artist. In fact, he wanted to be a church minister and was even sent to the Belgian mining community of Borinage in 1879. He discovered that the miners there endured terrible working conditions and poverty-level wages. Their families were skin-and-bone and struggled simply to survive. He felt concerned that the small pay he received from the church allowed him a reasonable lifestyle, which, in contrast, seemed to him unfair. One cold February evening, while he watched the miners trudging home, he spotted an old man staggering toward him across the fields, wrapped in a burlap(粗麻布) bag for warmth. Van Gogh laid his own clothing out on the bed, set aside enough for one change, and decided to give the rest away. He gave the old man a suit of clothes and he gave his overcoat to a pregnant woman whose husband had been killed in a cave-in. He lived on starvation food and spent his salary on food for the miners. When children in one family caught typhoid fever, though feverish himself, he packed up his bed and took it to them. A wealthy family in the community offered him free room and board, Van Gogh declined the offer, stating that it was the final temptation (诱惑) he must reject if he was to faithfully serve his community of poor miners. He believed that if he wanted them to trust him, he must become one of them. And if they were to learn of the love of God through him, he must love them enough to share with them. He was acutely aware of the big difference between words and actions. He knew that our lives always speak louder and clearer than our words. Maybe that is why Francis of Assisi often said to his monks, “Wherever you go, preach(讲道). Use words if necessary.” Others are “listening” carefully to your actions. What are you saying to them? 1. We can infer form the passage ____________. A. our lives always speak louder and clearer than our words B. the miners there worked under excellent working conditions C. the ministers lived a much better and easier life than the miners at the time D. Van Gogh himself offered to work in the Belgian mining community of Borinage in 1879. 2. What does the underlined word “trudging” in the second paragraph mean? A. Moving very quickly B. Moving with quick light steps C. Walking slowly for pleasure. D. Walking with slow heavy steps. 3. According to the passage, which of the following words can best describe Van Gogh? A. Ambitious and aggressive. B. Considerate and sympathetic C. Greedy and selfish. D. Determined and grateful 4. What does the last paragraph want to tell us? A. Use words if necessary B. Actions speak louder than words C. Rome was not built in a day. D. Where there is a will there is a way.

Today when a man steps onto the moon, or something new and important happens, the world learns about it immediately. What did the newspapers say about that first flight in 1903? Strangely enough, they said hardly anything about it at all. There were only a few reports about it in the papers. These reports said very little. Some of the things they said were not even correct. In 1904 the Rights built a second machine. They called it “Flyer No. Two”. They invited some reporters to a field near Dayton to watch them fly. Unfortunately there was some mechanical trouble with the plane and it did not fly at all that day. The newspapermen went away. They were disappointed and did not come back. The Rights went on with their work. In 1905 they built an even better machine, “Flyer No. Three”. They were able to stay up in the air for half an hour and more in this machine. They were ale to turn and climb in the air. Farmers, travelers on the roads around Dayton often saw them flying. But when these people told newspapermen about it, they refused to believe them. The Rights offered “Flyer No.Three” to the United States Government. The Government was not interested. They seemed to think the Rights wanted money in order to build an airplane. They did not understand the Rights had already done this, and flown it as well. Experts were still saying that mechanical flight was impossible. At the end of 1905, the two brothers took their plane to pieces. The parts were put into a huge wooden case. It seemed nobody was interested. 1.

The Rights were able to fly it for half an hour and even turn and climb in the air. C. There was something wrong with the craft and it did not fly at all that day. D. The Rights took the plane to pieces and put it into a wooden case immediately after the flight. 3. When the Rights offered “Flyer No.Three” to the United States Government, the Government_______.

第二卷（共35分） 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分） 任务型读写（共10小题；每空1分，满分10分） 阅读下列短文，根据所读内容在文章后的表格中填入恰当的单词。注意：表格中的每个空格只填1个单词 Can the thought of loved ones help reduce pain? This may indicate the importance of social relationships and staying socially connected. A study was recently conducted by researchers at the University of California in Los Angeles. In the study, the researchers asked 25 women to participate who had boyfriends with whom they had been in a good relationship for more than six months. The women received painful heat stimuli(刺激)to their forearms while they went through a number of different conditions. In one set of conditions, they viewed photographs of their boyfriend, a stranger and a chair. “When the women were just looking at pictures of their partner, they actually reported less pain to the heat stimuli than when they were looking at pictures of an object or pictures of a stranger, ” said study co-author Naomi Eisenberger, director of UCLA’s Social and Affective Neuroscience Laboratory, “Thus, the mere reminder of one’s partner through a simple photograph was capable of reducing pain.” In another set of conditions, each woman held the hand of her boyfriend, the hand of a male stranger and a squeeze ball. The study found that when women were holding their boyfriends’ hands, they reported less physical pain than when they were holding a stranger’s hand or a ball while receiving the same amount of heat stimulation. “This changes our idea of how social support influences people,” Eisenberger said. “This study proves how much of an impact our social ties can have on our experience and fits with other work emphasizing the importance of social support for physical and mental health,” Eisenberger added. The researchers advised that the next time people are going through a stressful or painful experience, if they cannot bring a loved one with them, a photo may do.
