I began working in journalism when I was eight. It was my mother’s idea. She wanted me to “make something” of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.
With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself highly visible, making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. When it was suppertime, I walked back home.
“How many did you sell, my boy?” my mother asked.
“None.”
“Where did you go?”
“The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”
“What did you do?”
“Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”
“You just stood there?”
“Didn’t sell a single one.”
“My God, Russell!”
Uncle Allen put in, “Well, I’ve decided to take the Post.” I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickel(五分镍币). It was the first nickel I earned.
Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence, and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.
One day, I told my mother I’d changed my mind. I didn’t want to make a success in the magazine business.
“If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied, “you’ll become a good-for-nothing.” She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me.
My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied with my father’s plain workman’s life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people. But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband’s people for true life and love.
41. Why did the boy start his job young?
A. He wanted to be famous in the future.
B. The job was quite easy for him.
C. His mother had high hopes for him.
D. The competition for the job was fierce.
42. From the dialogue between the boy and his mother, we learn that the mother was _______.
A. excited
B. interested
C. ashamed
D. disappointed
43. What did the mother do when the boy wanted to give up?
A. She forced him to continue.
B. She punished him.
C. She gave him some money.
D. She changed her plan.
44. What does the underlined phrase “this battle”(last paragraph) refer to?
A. The war between the boy’s parents.
B. The arguing between the boy and his mother.
C. The quarrel between the boy and his customers.
D. The fight between the boy and his father.
5. What is the text mainly about?
A. The early life of a journalist.
B. The early success of a journalist.
C. The happy childhood of the writer.
D. The important role of the writer in his family.
C
You never see them, but they're with you every time you fly. They record where you are going, how fast you're traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally. Their ability to withstand almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a comic book. They're known as the black box.
When planes fall from the sky, as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to Comoros Islands in the India ocean June 30, 2009, the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong. So when a French submarine (潜水艇) detected the device's homing signal five days later, the discovery marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152 passengers were killed.
In 1958, Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would track basic information like altitude and direction. That was the first mode for a black box, which became a requirement on all U.S. commercial flights by 1960. Early models often failed to withstand crashes, however, so in 1965 the device was completely redesigned and moved to the rear of the plane – the area least subject to impact – from its original position in the landing wells (起落架舱). The same year, the Federal Aviation Authority required that the boxes, which were never actually black, be painted orange or yellow to aid visibility.
Modern airplanes have two black boxes: a voice recorder, which tracks pilots' conversations, and a flight-data recorder, which monitors fuel levels, engine noises and other operating functions that help investigators reconstruct the aircraft's final moments. Placed in an insulated (隔绝的) case and surrounded by a quarter-inch-thick panels of stainless steel, the boxes can withstand massive force and temperatures up to 2,000℉. When submerged, they're also able to emit signals from depths of 20,000 ft. Experts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447, which crashed near Brazil on June 1, 2009, are in water nearly that deep, but statistics say they're still likely to turn up. In the approximately 20 deep-sea crashes over the past 30 years, only one plane's black boxes were never recovered.
46. What does the author say about the black box?
A. It ensures the normal functioning of an airplane.
B. The idea for its design comes from a comic book.
C. Its ability to ward off disasters is incredible.
D. It is an indispensable device on an airolane.
47. What information could be found from the black box on the Yemeni airliner?
A. Data for analyzing the cause of the crash.
B. The total number of passengers on board.
C. The scene of the crash and extent of the damage.
D. Homing signals sent by the pilot before the crash.
48. Why was the black box redesigned in 1965?
A. New materials became available by that time.
B. Too much space was needed for its installation.
C. The early models often got damaged in the crash.
D. The early models didn't provide the needed data.
49. Why did the Federal Aviation Authority require the black boxes be painted orange or yellow?
A. To distinguish them from the color of the plane.
B. To caution people to handle them with care.
C. To make them easily identifiable.
D. To conform to international standards.
50. What do we know about the black boxes from Air France Flight 447?
A. There is still a good chance of their being recovered.
B. There is an urgent need for them to be reconstructed.
C. They have stopped sending homing signals.
D. They were destroyed somewhere near Brazil.
D
It has become acceptable for people to say that women work less than men and therefore deserve less! It may have been true in the past when women were expected to stay at home and look after children, but women have changed over the years. They have “come out”! Gone are the days when they toiled the kitchen stove all day long; they are now aware of their needs and are willing to fight for them. They expect to be given the respect they deserve, both at home and at work. They have realized their intellectual potential and have determined to do something about it!
Women on two wheels have become a familiar sight on the roads of most Asian countries during the past few years. It is common to find a woman taking her children on her bicycle to school and then reach her office in time. She has become a major part in family decisions in every aspect and how those decisions are carried out. It would have been unimaginable a few years ago!
It is rather difficult to combine a career and a decent home life, “super woman” though she is. She needs to feel supported and fulfilled. She may arrive at work feeling as if she has already done a full day’s work. If colleagues doubt her commitment to her job, she will feel sad. At the same time, women of today expect their partners to contribute towards childcare and household chores.
Today’s women are learning to avoid situations that make them feel more stressed and it is a hard struggle. Despite all this, the new woman, “the superpower” has arrived. She still believes in the power and value of a family unit and she holds it in high esteem（尊重）.
51. What is the passage mainly about?
A. A woman’s opinion on her job and family.
B. The burden women in society have to bear.
C. The change of women’s status in and out of the family.
D. The responsibility of a couple in a family.
52. Which of the following devices is used in Paragraph I?
A. Comparison.
B. Example.
C. List.
D. Definition.
53. Using the example in Paragraph 2, the author wants to show that ____.
A. women were not seen on streets in the past
B. women’s jobs have changed
C. today’s women don’t need to toil in the kitchen
D. women take more responsibilities for the family
54. According to the passage, as a “super woman”, she ____.
A. can do the housework all by herself
B. can deal with her work easily every day
C. is independent in every aspect of her life
D. still finds it difficult to balance her career and family
55. Why is the phrase “come out” used in quotation marks in Paragraph 1?
A. Women are still controlled by their husbands.
B. It means more than that she comes out of the house.
C. Women are not actually coming out.
D. Women have broken up with their families.

第三部分 写作
第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
I’m not an athlete, but I am a lover of the Olympics. My biggest sports moment ever didn’t require me to be the fastest, the highest, or the strongest. It just required me to be in the right place at the right time, and catch the opportunity when it came to me. It was to carry our national flag for the Olympic Torch Relay.
As a part of the celebration, flag bearers(旗手)were needed. I served in the army at that time and the Olympic organizers asked for volunteers to help carry some of the flags. Although it demanded that I give up part of my weekends and get up early, I thought that it was the chance of a lifetime.
There were several different groups that took part in the event as flag bearers. We soldiers were going to be out in front leading them. On the day of the event, we arrived early at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Many people arrived to see the flame arrive from Greece, and the beginning of the Olympic Torch Relay. It was exciting to wait for our turn to enter the coliseum.
As a flag bearer, I was supposed to run out in front. Though the flag was fairly heavy, I picked it up and ran with it. I ran past rows of people. I ran through television cameras. It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life, being able to carry our national flag in an international event like the Olympics. I was very proud of it.
I had never been able to attend the Olympics, and I might never be important enough to carry an Olympic torch or anything like that, but I did get to carry our national flag in the torch relay, although I will no longer have the opportunity to carry the flag in the Olympics, and that would be one sports experience that would be difficult to forget.

57. What was the author asked to do as a volunteer? (no more than 10 words)

59. How many times has the author carried the flag in the Olympics? (no more than 2 words)

60. Do you want to be a flag bearer? Why or why not? (no more than 20 words)

Dear Lucy
We hear that you’ll return to the United Kingdom on a holiday soon. All the class will miss you very much when you are on leave!
Firstly, I’d like to express our gratitude for your excellent teaching in our school and your care and love for our class! So we have decided to have a farewell party this Saturday for you. The party will start at 6:30 on Saturday evening in the classroom of Class 12, Grade 3 and will probably last about an hour. All of the class hope you can join us singing some English songs and have a good time together. At the end of the party, the monitor will present you some flowers and gifts, which are mostly made by ourselves.
We wish you a plain journey back home! We are also expecting you to come back to China again soon. I am looking forward to receiving your early reply.
Yours,
Li Jin
