You can only take up one of them, the other has to wait or be __45__ up. But you know the future is unpredictable --- the changed situation may not allow you to do what is left __46__.

四、阅读理解 （共15 小题，30分） 阅读下面四篇短文，从各题A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳答案。 I like friends who share my happiness and sorrow,and who possess wings of their own and fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate(照亮)me and help me to express my love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share. When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say,“Let’s start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped. When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend. He was in despair(失望) and I was in despair, but our friendship was based on the idea that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we felt awful at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and visited many wonderful places. We walked until our despair disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other. For almost four years I have had a remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters to each other in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think: “Yes, I must tell…” We have never met. It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist(心理学家), who will only fill up the healing(愈合的) silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend. 1. In the eighth grade, what did the author do while her classmates started developing proper social behavior? A. Become serious about her studies. B. Went to her friend’s house regularly. C. Learned from her claamates at school. D. Wrote poems and stories with her friend. 2. In Paragraph 3, “We gave London to each other” probably means “______”. A. our exploration of London was a memorable gift to both of us B. we were unwilling to tear ourselves away from London C. our unpleasant feelings about London disappeared D. we parted with each other in London 3. According to Paragraph 4, the author and her friend A. call each other regularly B. have similar personalities C. write stories D. sometimes dream about each other 4. In the darkest moments, the author wants to A. seek professional help B. be left alone C. stay with her best friend D. break the silence 5. What is a good title for the passage? A. Unforgettable Experiences B. Remarkable Imagination C. Lifelong Friendships D. Noble Companions

Domestic airline passengers will be able to make phone calls and send e-mails from the sky from next year, a local carrier has said. Shenzhen Airlines said on Monday it has signed an agreement with Geneva-based On-Air to provide passengers with in-flight communications services on all its planes by the end of 2009. The service will be introduced on three aircraft ahead of the 2008 Olympics, on two routes----from Shenzhen to Beijing and Shenzhen to Shanghai, the airline said. Passengers will be able to use their own electronic devices to send e-mails and short messages, make calls and surf the Internet, it said. The service is expected to be of particular interest to business travelers. According to a survey at the end of last year, China had 4.55 million mobile-phone subscribers. Ninety-three percent of those polled said they wished they could send and receive e-mails and messages while on a plane. Despite the introduction of the new service, passengers will still be prevented from using their cell phones and laptops when the plane is taking off and landing, or flying at less than 3,000 m above sea level, the official said. The official said the new service would not lead to an increase in ticket prices, but users of Chinese mobile-phone services will be charged the international roaming rate for any calls made from the sky. Shenzhen Airlines is the first Chinese carrier to provide such in-flight communications services. Its president, Li Kun, said installing the facilities will cost 4.5 million yuan ($596,000) per aircraft. However, the project still needs to be approved by the Civil Aviation Administration of China, a source said. 1. According to the report, passengers can on the plane by the end of 2009. A. make phone calls B. surf the Internet C. send short messages D. all of the above 2. We can learn that the new service will be introduced . A. on two routes B. in two cities C. after the Beijing Olympics D. on two aircrafts 3. Passengers will still be prevented from using their cell phones in the following situations except_______. A. when the plane is taking off B. when the plane is landing C. when the plane is flying at less than 3,000 m in above sea level D. when the plane is flying at 4,000 m above sea level 4. It can be inferred that the new service will probably cause . A. higher ticket prices B. lower ticket prices C. higher cell phone fee D. lower cell phone fee 5. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. Domestic airline needs to improve their service. B. Domestic airline will make phone calls and e-mails available. C. Chinese mobile-phone services will help domestic airline. D.

There is nothing else but economy that occupies the minds of Americans at present times of economic crisis（危机）. The statistics on unemployment，housing costs and consumer confidence keep coming and coming，leaving people not just scared to spend money but also very stressed and emotionally exhausted. This stress has an effect on everything，starting with our sleep，mood，physical health，relationships and eating habits. “Time of economic stress leads to increase rates of depression(忧郁)，”says Dr. Christopher Palmer，director of continuing education at McLean Hospital in Belmont，Massachusetts. “It worsens illness in people who have been constantly depressed. But it also causes new cases of depression. Just the fear of losing one’s job can put people over the edge. ” And，without any doubt，just depression alone can create a variety of bad health effects. ●Sleep 33 percent of Americans reported that they have lost sleep due to the economic crisis. 26 percent say they are sleeping less than 6 hours per night，which is considered to be at least one hour less than the most favorable 7 to 8 hours recommended by sleep experts. ●Mental health，stress and heart attack 80 percent of Americans reported that last year the economy is a huge source of stress; 49 percent said the situation makes them feel nervous or anxious; 48 percent reported that they feel very sad and have developed depression. Nearly twice the risk of heart attack or death was found in patients with the highest levels of depression or anxiety. Among those individuals，a 10 percent higher rise of heart attack or death was found in those whose anxiety rose over time. ●Relationships The chances of violent behavior are nearly 6 times higher for individuals who are left without a job. Workplace stress can lead to domestic violence. 1. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Now Americans don’t dare to spend money. B. Now all Americans have problems in sleeping.

第Ⅱ卷(共45分) 注意事项： 1.第II卷共4页。用0.5毫米黑色签字笔答在试卷的相应位置。 2.答卷前将密封线内的项目填写清楚。 第四部分 书面表达(共二节，满分45分) 第一节 阅读表达(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，按要求完成76—80题。（请注意问题后的字数要求）。 Electronic devices(装置) are changing the way people listen to music. But studies show the devices may be causing hearing loss in many people. Some experts say people may be playing them too loud and too long. And experts say sound levels on these devices need to be set lower. Researchers did a study with three hundred high school students and one thousand adults. They were asked about their use of portable music devices. Forty percent of the students and adults said they set the sound levels at high on their players. But students were twice more likely to play the music at a very loud volume(音量). More than half of the students said they would probably not limit their listening time. The study found that more than half of the students and less than forty percent of the adults had at least one kind of hearing loss. Some reported difficulty hearing parts of a discussion between two people. Others said they had to raise volume controls on a television or radio to hear it better. And, some experienced ringing in their ears or other noises. Hearing experts say part of the problem is the listening equipment people are using. They say large earphones that cover the whole ear are probably safer than the smaller earbuds(耳塞) that come with most music players. Hearing loss may not be obvious for years, however, once it happens, there is few chance of curing. About thirty million Americans have some hearing loss. One third of them lost their hearing as a result of loud noises. The American Speech-language-Hearing Association is working with companies and government officials on setting rules for use of portable music devices. The group says the best way to protect your hearing is to _______, limit listening time and use earphones that block out foreign noises. 76．What is the best title of the passage? (Please answer within 10 words.) _______________________________________________________________________________77．Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one? Compared to adults, teenagers are more likely to turn up their players. _______________________________________________________________________________78．Please fill in the blank in the last paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence. (Please answer within 10 words.) _______________________________________________________________________________79．What trouble will happen to a person if he suffers some hearing loss? (Please give at least two examples mentioned in the passage, each within 15 words.) _______________________________________________________________________________80．Translate the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph into Chinese. _______________________________________________________________________________ |
