If you are going to pay a visit to Italy, the following places are really worth going.

The Beijing International Marathon, held annually since 1981,is traditionally held in October, when the temperature is usually above 10 degrees Celsius in the Chinese capital.
But it has been postponed (推迟)by about a month, meaning the temperature may be just around 5 degrees Celsius, according to the weather forecast. Weather is the biggest concern.
Medical teams in Beijing are on their marks for the marathon on Sunday after a runner died in Guangzhou several days ago.
The teams — including six motorcycles, 25 ambulances, 110 medical professionals, 480 volunteers and a command vehicle — will serve the 30,000 participants from across the world.
“The medical team is fully prepared,” said Wang Lixin, an official from Beijing Emergency Medical Center who is responsible for the event’s medical service.
A volunteer will be deployed (分布)every 100 meters, and for every 5 kilometers there will be a medical booth with medical advice and medicine, Wang said. Those medical volunteers are either medical majors, or have received training and have first aid certificates.
On November 18,a 21-year-old college student fainted (昏倒)at the finish line after completing a 10 km race in the Guangzhou International Marathon and died later in hospital of a heart attack. The death caused public concerns over the risk of running a marathon. The website of the Beijing marathon has published articles and instructions on how to train and prepare, how to run in winter, and how to avoid injuries.
On Sunday, the event’s organizer will also offer warm -up exercises, cold -proof raincoats, chocolate and other supplies along the route, according to Wang.
However, Wang Lixin said that the safety of the race also depends on the racers’ cooperation. They should reveal (透露)their real health condition. “Any deception (欺骗)is very irresponsible,” Wang Lixin said.
35. The underlined part “on their marks” has the closest meaning to “______ ”.
A. on schedule B. in charge C. on duty D. prepared
36. If a runner has problems during the race, the volunteers can ______ .
A. offer professional medical help B. order him to stop the race at once
C. offer any necessary supply on the scene D. get an ambulance from the nearest hospital
37. It can be inferred that the organizers of the Beijing International Marathon ______ .
A. offer proper places for professional training
B. have hired hundreds of experienced doctors
C. have learned lessons from the Guangzhou event
D. had to put the race off because of the weather condition
38. Wang Lixin suggested that all racers should ______ .
A. visit the website of the Beijing marathon B. understand the risk of running a marathon
C. have a physical examination before the race D. be responsible for their health information
C
Imagination Stage is a children’s theater in the state of Maryland. A special performance is put on for children with autism (自闭症)each day. People with autism have difficulty communicating and socializing with other people. Children in the theater are allowed to move around during the performance. It’s OK if they shout out or hold their ears when the music is too loud. These special performances are sometimes the only thing that a family can go to the theater together to see if a child has autism.
That is the same idea with Autism on the Seas. This company organizes vacations for families of children with autism, especially vacations on cruise ships. Jamie Grover is director of group development in Autism on the Seas. He said, “With our staff on board, parents know that they are going to be able to relax, enjoy their vacation, and participate in ship activities. They know that their children are well taken care of.”
The benefit of such vacations organized by Autism on the Seas is not waiting in huge lines on departure day. The company has staff to help in the ports. Waiting in long lines or being in the middle of big crowds can cause problem behavior in children with autism. Autism on the Seas helps families avoid situations like that.
Autism on the Seas works with the help of cruise companies like Royal Caribbean. Special times or places are arranged for families to play video games, go skating or rock climbing, or eat dinner. Autism on the Seas also directs families to organizations that can help them pay for these vacations.
Bambi Van Woert from the state of Michigan went on a cruise with her 7-year-old Ben, who has autism. She said, “I would never do something like this myself. I cannot take Ben shopping by myself at this point, so for me to try to do a cruise without help would be absurd.”
39. What makes the children’s theatre Imagination Stage special?
A. That it only allows children with autism to enter.
B. That it puts on plays performed by people with autism.
C. That it mainly puts on plays about people with autism.
D. That it puts on special performances for kids with autism.
40. What do we know about the company Autism on the Seas?
A. It helps families of children with autism pay for vacations.
B. It was started with the help of the cruise company Royal Caribbean.
C. It organizes vacations for families of children with autism.
D. It takes care of kids with autism while their parents are away.
41. The third paragraph mainly tells us ______ .
A. some occasions that kids with autism should avoid
B. some behavioural problems of children with autism
C. some activities children with autism can take part in
D. the benefit of vacations organized by Autism on the Seas
42. Bambi Van Woert is mentioned in the last paragraph to show that ______ .
A. parents of a child with autism don’t want such trips
B. parents of a child with autism live a very difficult life
C. children with autism don’t like doing anything with their parents
D. such cruise trips can really help families of children with autism
D
One day I was waiting in line to check out at Wal-Mart. Like a lot of people who want to get through a checkout line, my thoughts were on speed, nothing more. The line I was standing in wasn’t moving as quickly as I wanted, and I glanced toward the cashier.
There stood a man in his seventies. Of average build, he wore glasses and a nice smile. I thought, “Well, he’s an old guy and it probably takes him a little longer to get the chores done.” For the next few minutes I watched him. He greeted every customer before he began scanning the items they were purchasing. Sure, his words were the usual, “How’s it going?” But he did something different—he actually listened to people. Then he would respond to what they had said and engage them in brief conversation.
I thought it was strange, but I guess I had grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of a robotic conversational habit. After a while, you don’t give any thought to the question and just mumble something back. I could say, “I just found out I have six months to live,” and someone would reply, “Have a great day! ”
This old cashier had my attention. He seemed genuine (真诚的)about wanting to know how people were feeling. And after giving them the change, the old cashier looked the customers in the eyes. “I sure want to thank you for shopping here today,” he told them. “You will have a great day. Bye-bye.”
The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless. There were smiles and some shy grins (露齿而笑).All had been touched by his simple gesture in a place they never expected.
43. The author glanced at the cashier because of ______ .
A. the slow speed of the checkout line B. the look of the old cashier
C. the smile on the cashier’s face D. the long line of customers
44. In the fourth paragraph, the author intends to tell us ______ .
A. no one cared about his health B. people usually have robotic conversations
C. people are not friendly to each other D. he was suffering from a serious disease
45. What is special about the old cashier according to the author? He ______ .
A. worked hard at his old age B. listened to people attentively
C. gave customers the right change D. had usual conversations with customers
46. How did the customers probably feel after meeting the old cashier?
A. Quite ashamed of themselves. B. Unexpectedly moved.
C. Completely puzzled. D. Curious but happy.

Cassandra Feeley finds it hard to manage on her husband ’ s income. So this year she did something more than a hobby She planted vegetables in her yard. For her first garden, Ms. Feeley has put in 15 tomato plants, and five rows of a variety of vegetables. The family’s old farm house has become a chicken house, its residents arriving next month. Last year,Ms. Rita Gartin kept a small garden. This year she has made it much larger because, she said, “The cost of everything is going up and I was looking to lose a few pounds too; so it’s a win-win situation all around.”
They are among the growing number of Americans who, driven by higher living costs and a falling economy have taken up vegetable gardening for the first time. Others have increased the size of their existing gardens. Seed companies and garden shops say that not since the 1970s has there been such an increase in interest in growing food at home. Now many gardens across the country have been sold out for several months. In Austin, Tex., some of the gardens have a three- year waiting list.
George C. Ball Jr, owner of a company, said sales of vegetable seeds and plants are up by 40% over last year, double the average growth of the last five years. Mr. Ball argues that some of the reasons have been building for the last few years. The big one is the striking rise in the cost of food like bread and milk,together with the increases in the price of fruits and vegetables. Food prices have increased because of higher oil prices. People are now driving less, taking fewer vacations, so there is more time to garden.
47. What does the underlined word “residents” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to?
A. Chickens. B. Tomatoes. C. Gardens. D. People.
48. Why is vegetable gardening becoming increasingly popular?
A. More Americans are doing it for fun. B. The price of oil is lower than before.
C. There’s a growing need for fruits. D. The cost of living is on the rise.
49. According to George C Ball. Jr, how many reasons are listed for the popularity of American vegetable gardening?
A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5
50. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?
A. Family Food Planning B. Banking on Gardening
C. A Belt-tightening Move D. Gardening as a Hobby

第一节 阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题(请注意问题后的词数要求)。
Anne is six years older than me. Growing up, we were very poor,and my mother worked evenings at a factory in a small town. Not seeing my mother much, Anne looked after me and my younger sister. During those hard years, Anne was always there for me, not only as a big sister, but as a mother and my best friend.
When I was seventeen and had no money, I thought my only chance of going to college was if I could win a scholarship. I had an important interview for such an award. Anne at that time was struggling, surviving on a part-time job as she put herself through the local community college after serving in the army. I told her of my interview. I asked her advice on what to wear and showed her my best outfit (装束)and how I planned to be careful how I sat so that the hole in the bottom of my shoes would not be seen, but I wasn’t sure what I would do if it rained.
Anne suggested that we go shopping, and we took the bus to the JCPenney store. We found a beautiful pair of leather shoes on sale. She told me to try them on, but I thought it was just for fun as neither of us had ever owned anything that expensive before. But Anne handed me the boxed shoes and said, “Here, Linda, I’ll buy these for you.”
“But ...” was all I could say. “You deserve them,” she replied. “This interview is important. I want to see you get that scholarship.” I was speechless as I knew this was a lot of money for her,and she would probably have to eat nothing but noodles for at least a month.
I went to the interview and crossed my legs so that my beautiful new shoes shone with pride.
I won the scholarship and became an engineer. Although they were nice leather everyday shoes, I didn’t wear them much because they were so special. Now, after 20 years have passed, I still have that pair of shoes with me, and I just wear them on those occasions when I need to feel special.
56. How old was Anne when the author was seventeen years old? ( no more than one word )
57. Why did the author have to attend an interview? ( no more than seven words )
