I was a rotten teenager, sharp-tongued and eager to control others. I told lies. At an early age that I could make things   36   my way with just a few small changes. The writers for today’s hottest soap opera could not have created a   37   character than me.

       I don’t know how long it took me to realize how I was   38   so many others. Not only did I succeed in   39   many of my closet friends by trying to control them; I also managed to destroy the most   40   relationship in my life; my relationship with my mother.

       My mother, who gave birth to me at age 38   41   her doctor’s wishes, would cry to me, “I waited so long for you. Don’t ignore my help!” I would reply   42   , “I never wanted you to care about me! Leave me alone and forget I   43   lived!”

       My mother began to believe I really   44   it. Like many young girls in high school, the boys whom I knew were   45   were always the first ones I had to date. I would try to find any way to draw attention to myself   46   at the same time trying to be invisible. I had also been __47   into drugs then to change my personality. My only pleasure was to make people feel __48  .

       But then I asked   49   why. Why the need to hurt? Why the attacks on my mother? I would drive myself mad with all the whys until one day, I couldn’t   50   it any longer and jump from a car moving at 80 miles per hour.

       Lying awake the following night at the hospital, I saw my mother’s pained face―warm, tired brown   51   filled with nothing but thanks for her daughter’s rebirth of life.

__52   all the horrible things I did to her, she still loved me. I cried and asked why. She just looked down at me and said frankly, “I don’t know.”

__53   love is the most precious gift we can give. Being   54   for the past is the most precious gift we can receive. I want to   55   the gift my mother gave me to all the “rotten teenagers” in the world.

四. 閱讀理解（共20小題。每小題2分，滿分40分）

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(xiàng)中選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

A

It is now commonly known that AIDS is a deadly disease. It does great damage to human beings’ immune(免疫的) system, weakening resistance to disease and leading to death due to complete weakness. To this day, there are no existing drugs that can kill the AIDS virus. It is a deadly battle between science and AIDS.

   This is only one side of the story. Although it cannot be cured, AIDS is preventable. For those who have not caught the disease, the knowledge of preventive measures seems to be the most powerful weapon at hand.

   Since the discovery of the first AIDS patient in 1985, the number of HIV carriers is on an alarming rise in China and statistics show that young people are the more likely victims of AIDS. Nationwide there are 214 million people between the ages of 13 and 22, most of whom are students. If no measures are taken to protect these young people, it is almost certain that the threat of AIDS will be very real to them.

There has been a great deal of misinformation concerning the transmission of AIDS. One of the most misleading myths is that AIDS can be transmitted by casual physical contact such as kissing, shaking hands or sharing food containers. Surveys and investigations conducted in some universities and colleges show that half of those people questioned are not clear about how AIDS is transmitted, not to mention how it is prevented.

   This is the driving force behind the State Education Commission’s decision to spread AIDS awareness information among college students and later to high school students and primary school students.

56. Why does the passage say that AIDS is a deadly disease?    

    A. Because it destroys the immune system of the human body.

    B. Because the AIDS patients can not resist diseases and die.

    C. Because doctors can find no medicine to cure AIDS.

    D. All of the above.

57. By writing “ this is only one side of the story.” the writer suggests that ______.

    A. although we can’t cure AIDS, we can manage to prevent it

    B. AIDS is very dangerous, but we should not be scared by it

    C. AIDS is not curable but doctors should not give up fighting against it

    D. although the doctor cannot cure the disease, yet he can help improve the patients’ health.

58. What can be concluded from the surveys and investigations mentioned in the passage?

    A. 50 percent of college students have no idea how people become AIDS victims

    B. 50 percent of college students do not know how to prevent AIDS

    C. Many college students are not aware how people become AIDS victims

    D. Many college students did not mention AIDS prevention in the surveys and investigations

59. Which of the following can be the proper title of the passage?

    A. China Fights AIDS              B. Young People ? Most Likely AIDS Victims

    C. AIDS Information Is Necessary    D. AIDS ? A Deadly Disease    

B

Mr．Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route―through the boot(行李箱)．

      Mr．Johnson’ s car had finished up in a ditch(溝渠) at Romney Marsin, Kent after skidding on ice and hitting a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly,” Mr. Johnson said. “I couldn’t force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in.”

       Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.

       Later he said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to loosen the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came.”

       It took ten minutes to loosen the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in．I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up.”

      His hands and arms cut and bruised(擦傷), Mr．Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmer’s wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates．Huddled in a blanket, he said, “That thirty minutes seemed like hours.” Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night. The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.

60. _______________  is the most important to Mr. Johnson during his escape?

A. The hammer       B. The coin        C. The screw      D. The horn

61. Mr. Johnson’s car accident happened ___________.    

A. with his car standing on its boot.                B. while on his way home.

C. partly due to the slippery road.            D. because of the high speed.

62. “Finally it gave” (Paragraph 5) means that _________.

A. luckily the door was opened in the end          B. at last I found the boot lock

C. he forced the boot lid open with all his efforts    D. The chance to escape lost

63. It may be inferred from the passage that _________.  

A. the ditch was along a quiet country road.

B. the accident happened on a snowy day.

C. the bank lent Mr．Johnson a hand about his damage.

D. Mr．Johnson was well treated for his injury.

C

       The more I learn about how your oral health can affect your overall health, the more of a brushing fanatic(狂熱者) I am. But it wasn’t always that way. As a kid, I resisted tooth-brushing at bedtime―what a bore! I remember my mom asking if I’d brushed my teeth. I’d say yes and she’d say “Let me smell your breath,” so she could confirm it with a smell of Crest. But I’d learned just to take a bite of toothpaste right from the tube, without even making contact with a brush. What a stupid mistake! Soon my teeth were full of  holes―something I’ve regretted ever since.

       In those days we weren’t much into preventive care at either the dentist or doctor. That wasn’t part of the way of thinking of my parents’ generation, who grew up during the Great Depression. We didn’t know how important it could be, either. "So much of dental care is reactionary.”  says Mark Helpin, head of dentistry at Temple University. “Parents will bring their children in only if there’s a problem.”

Medical research has shown the dangers of tooth decay(蛀牙) and gum disease, including heart disease, low birth weight in babies, dangerous and even deadly infections and now maybe Alzheimer’s disease（老年癡呆）. There’s no longer any excuse to avoid regular dental checkups and careful oral maintenance―especially with young kids to get them started on the right path. It’s important to establish a relationship with a dentist the same way you would with a pediatrician.

       The Alzheimer’s news is especially alarming. We reported back in January on a study at the University of Kentucky that found a preliminary link between tooth loss and dementia. Now there’s further evidence, thanks to a study presented last week at the Alzheimer's Association 2008 International Conference in Chicago. While this study in no way proves that gum disease causes Alzheimer’s, it’s pretty clear that the inflammation and immune response to these harmful bacteria aren’t good!

       It takes less than a minute to brush your teeth. It takes two minutes to do a thorough job of brushing your teeth. If doing those two things twice a day may save me from mental disease later, I’m never going to miss these small tasks again―and neither should you.

64. When the author was a child,            .   

A. his mom liked to smell his breath      B. he was unwilling to brush his teeth

C. he hardly suffered from tooth decay    D. he made mistakes while brushing his teeth

65. The underlined sentence “So much of dental care is reactionary.” in Paragraph 2 means that          .

A. parents often bring their children to the dentist

B. people pay too much attention to their tooth care

C. people are unaware of the importance of tooth care

D. parents have no idea when children should see the dentist

66. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The researchers conclude that gum disease causes Alzheimer’s.

B. The possibility that gum disease might cause Alzheimer’s is worrying.

C. Tooth decay and gum disease have little to do with birth weight in babies.

D. The author’s parents used to bring him to the dentist for regular dental checkups.

67. The purpose of the passage is             .

A. to encourage people to brush their teeth     

B. to tell people how to brush teeth correctly.

C. to help people learn about some tooth diseases.  

D. to give suggestions on how to protect our teeth.

D

A popular saying goes, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." However, that's not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn' t matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves--the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.

We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We're usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldn t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.

This "self-talk"helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down．Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying "Good job!"

Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. Or harsh（刻薄的）and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.

Words possess power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn't pass this test, then it's better left unsaid.

Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem （ 自尊） and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.

68.The main idea of the first paragraph is that           .           

A. not sticks and stones but words will hurt us   B. inspiring words give us confidence

C. negative words may let us down            D. words have a lasting effect on us

69. There is no sense for us to feel embarrassed when we talk to ourselves because          .

A. almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselvs

B. we can benefit from talking to ourselves

C. talking to ourselves always gives us courage

D. it does no harm to have "self-talk" when we are alone

70. The underlined part in the third paragraph means that We should also timely          .

A. praise ourselves                              B. remind ourselves

C. make ourselves relaxed                      D. give ourselves amusement

71. The author would probably hold the view that           .

  A. encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offers

  B. negative words may stimulate us to make more progress

  C. people tend to remember friendly words

  D. it is bettter to think twice before talking to others．

E

Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers advised, “Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience.” How right they were!

“Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.” wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste that helps you hang on there when the going gets tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, “I can do it!” When others shout, “No, you can’t!” It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didn’t stop working on her experiments. Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping.

We are all born with wide-eye, enthusiastic wonder and it is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such youthful air, whatever their age. At 90, cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach. As the music flowed through his fingers, his stooped (彎曲的)shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes. As author and poet Samuel Ulman once wrote, “Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.”

Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money or title or power．Patricia Mcllrath, retired director of the Missouri Repertory Theater in Kansas City, was once asked where she got her enthusiasm．She replied, “My father, a lawyer, long ago told me, ‘I never made a dime until I stopped working for money．’”

If we cannot do what we love as a full-time career, we can as a hobby. Elizabeth Layton of Wellsville, Kan was 68 before she began to draw. This activity ended periods of depression that had trouble her for at least 30 years, and the quality of her work led one critic to say, “I am tempted to call Layton a genius.”

We can’t afford to waste tears on “might-have-beens”. We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after “what-can-be”. We need to live each moment whole-heartedly, with all our senses ? finding pleasure in the sweet smell of a back-yard garden, the simple picture of a six-year-old, the beauty of a rainbow.

72. The author holds the view that ______     .           

A. enthusiastic people will never get old  

B. enthusiasm can make you succeed and enjoy life

C. enthusiasm is more important than experience    

D. enthusiasm can give people more success and fame

73. Which of the following can best explain the underlined sentence in the second paragraph?

A. Enthusiasm can give you courage and strength in difficult times．

B. If you don’t have enthusiasm, you can achieve nothing．

C. Enthusiastic people never consider money and fame．

D. Enthusiastic people can gain great fame and honor．

74. The author mentions cellist Pablo Casals in the third paragraph to show that ______．

A. music can arouse people’s enthusiasm

B. enthusiasm can give people inspiration needed to succeed

C. enthusiasm can make people feel young

D. enthusiasm can keep people healthy

75. How many examples are given in the passage to show the importance of enthusiasm?

A. Two.             B. Three.        C. Four.        D. Five.

The British Isles are a group of islands that lie off the west coast of Europe. The largest island is called Britain, which is separated from France by the English Channel, which at one point is only 20 miles wide. It forms the mainland of Great Britain and consists of three countries: Scotland in the north, Wales in the west and England in the south and east. The island just west of Britain is called Ireland. Between Britain and Ireland , in the Irish Sea, lies the small Isle of Man. The British Isles are surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and the North Sea to the east.
