A couple of weeks ago, my friend had a yard sale. She 16 to sell some of our stuff for us. I thought it would be a good 17 to clean my 7-year-old son’s room and get rid of some toys that he had 18 . We agreed that whatever we sold in toys would be his 19 . The night before the sale, we 20 up the truck with toys and a little bike that he was too 21 for. This little bike had had at least two 22 owners that we knew of. It was not in the best 23 and it certainly was not shiny new; 24 , it was still good for use.
We put a 25 of $10 on it but it didn’t sell. So, after the sale was over, my friend put it on the sidewalk with a 26 that said “FREE BIKE”. Within five minutes her doorbell rang. A little boy was standing there. He 27 if the bike was really 28 . My friend said yes and that he could have it for nothing. He 29 , hopped (跳上) on the bike and rode away.

When he asked about the 32 , I told him that a little boy had got it for free, and had made a smile. The grin (咧嘴笑) on my son’s face was 33 priceless, much more than when I told him how much he had made. He was so pleased to hear that someone else would make good 34 of that little bike.

三、阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
In 1969, Nueng Garcia was born in Thailand, whose father was an American serviceman. When Nueng was only three months old, his father went back to the USA. When he grew up, Nueng immigrated to the United States and worked as a gas station clerk in Pueblo, Colorado.
It was just another day on the job until he noticed the name of one man who paid with a check. The man, who was in his fifties, had the same surname as his own. Nueng raised his head from the check and stared at the man. Could this man be his father?
“Are you John Garcia?” he asked. “Yes,” came the answer. “Were you ever in the Air Force?” “Yes.”
“Were you ever in Thailand?” “What’s that to do with you?” answered the man, who became suspicious. “Were you or were you not?” Nueng persisted. “Yes.”
“Did you have a son?” This truth began to dawn on the old man. He and the clerk realized at the same moment that they were father and son who were separated 27 years ago and half a world away.
John Garcia hadn’t seen his son since 1969, because Pratom Semon, Nueng’s mother, did not want to leave her homeland for the United States at that time. He continued to write and send checks to his son’s mother after he left Thailand. Years later, Pratom Semon was seeing another man, so she put a stop to John Garcia’s correspondence.
He said he never went to that gas station, wasn’t even low on gas that day and hardly ever paid with a check. He did not even know why he stopped for gas. His newfound 27-year-old son put his arms around the man who was once a stranger and said, “Dad...I’m glad you stopped.” As for their plans now, Nueng said: “Twenty-seven years is a long period — we’re catching up.” 36. Nueng Garcia found his father _______.

“How do I love thee, let me count the ways.” These words, penned by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, are some of the most widely-known love lyrics in Victorian English poetry.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning was born at Coxhoe Hall, Durham, England on March 6, 1806. Browning was privately educated and spent much of her childhood in the country. It was a very happy childhood until Browning became seriously ill at age 15.
In 1832, Browning moved with her family to Sidmouth, Devon and then several years later to London. In 1833, Browning’s translation of Prometheus Bound () received 《被束缚的普罗米修斯》high praise. After moving to London, Browning began to publish her own writings. Her first collection entitled The Seraphim and Other Poems was published in 1838, and her second volume Poems was published in 1844, which included an introduction written by Edgar Allan Poe.
In 1845, Browning received a telegram from the poet Robert Browning. The telegram read “I love your verses with all my heart, dear Miss Barrett—and I love you too.” The two met several months later and fell in love. During this period Browning composed her famous Sonnets (十四行诗) from the Portuguese, which was published in 1850.
Shortly after their marriage, Elizabeth and Robert departed for Pisa, Italy and ultimately settled in Florence. In Italy, Browning regained her health and in 1849 gave birth to the couple’s only child,

Robert Wiedemann Barrett. The Brownings lived in Florence in the next 15 years, with occasional visits to London. During this period, she produced her most ambitious work entitled Aurora Leigh. The poem is a love story that defends a woman’s right to intellectual freedom.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning died on June 29, 1861 in Florence. She is chiefly remembered for her love poems, although Aurora Leigh has recently received new appreciation. 41. What do we know about Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s education?

Surveys of American teenagers find that about half of them do not get enough sleep on school nights. They get an average of sixty to ninety minutes less than experts say they need.
One reason for this is biology. Experts say teens are biologically programmed to go to sleep earlier and wake up later than other age groups. Yet many schools start classes as early as seven in the morning. As a result, many students go to class feeling like Danny. Danny is an active teen — except in the morning. “Getting up in the morning is pretty terrible. I’m just very out of it and tired. In the first and second period I can barely stay awake,” he said.
Michael Breus, a psychologist, says, “Teens need to sleep eight to nine hours or even nine to ten

hours a night. Sleepy teens can experience a form of depression that could have big effects on their general well-being. It can affect not just their ability in the classroom but also on the sports field and on the road.”
So what can schools do about sleepy students? The psychologist suggests that one thing they can do is to start classes later in the morning. Studies show that students can improve a lot in their first- and second-period classes.
Eric Peterson is the head of St. George’s School in the northeastern part of Rhode Island. He wanted to see if a thirty-minute delay would make a difference. It did. He says visits to the health center by tired students decreased by half. Late arrivals to the first period fell by a third. And students reported that they were less sleepy during the day. Eric Peterson knows that changing the start time is easier at a small, private boarding school like his. But he is hopeful that other schools will find a way.
46. The underlined word “this” in the second paragraph refers to _______.
A. children’s getting up late D. time children need for sleeping A. runs a private boarding school C. is strict with the students
B. made the survey all by himself D. needs more sleep B. children’s staying up
C. children’s not getting enough sleep
47. According to the text we can learn that Eric Peterson _______. 48. Michael Breus thinks that _______. A. teens’ lack of sleep can lead to bad results B. teens should not get up late C. depression is common in teens D. the first class should be cut off A. it’s not easy for Eric Peterson to change the start time B. Eric Peterson visits the health center every day C. the students aren’t late for school any more
D. students in St. George’s School can get up later than their peers A. Danny is a lazy boy.
B. The psychologist has no idea to solve the problem. C. Enough sleep makes a healthy and active student. D. American teens are all in bad conditions.
D
Towns and cities around the globe have embraced the use of renewable energy. Most of the time,

49. The last paragraph tells us _______. 50. What can we infer from the text?
you’ll hear about people switching to solar or wind power, but the Oregon town of Klamath Falls is one of the few towns that use geothermal (地热) power for everything imaginable.
The geothermal power of Klamath Falls is used to heat buildings, greenhouses and provide lighting for the local college campus. They are also looking to expand their geothermal use beyond heat and towards electricity, too.
The use of geothermal energy is practically unknown — it only makes up 0.5% of the United States’ entire energy production. However, it has extreme potential. A 2007 survey conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology estimated that EGS (Enhanced Geothermal Systems) could produce 100 gigawatts (千兆瓦) of electricity by 2050. That amount of output is equal to 1,000 coal-fired or nuclear power plants.
Although there is huge potential for the use of geothermal energy, it also has its drawbacks. For one, it can be difficult to find the 3 natural components (成分) needed to use geothermal energy all in one place. Those 3 things are: water, hot rock close to the surface, and cracks (裂缝) in the rock that can act as a reservoir (水库).
One way EGS can be used is by drilling thousands of feet into the earth until you reach hot rock. Water is then pumped down to the rock in order to create cracks and reservoirs. Once the cracks are created, more water can be sent down one area and it will come up through another well as hot water or steam. This hot water or steam will cause a turbine(涡轮) to spin, thus generating electricity. 51. The Oregon town of Klamath Falls intends to _______ in the future.
A. heat buildings with geothermal power C. power the lights of college campus in the town D. make electricity with geothermal power A. geothermal energy is widely used in the USA B. geothermal energy has great potential
C. it is not economic to make electricity with geothermal energy D. the US falls behind other countries in using geothermal energy A. A reservoir, water and hot rock in deep earth. B. Water, hot rock near the surface and cracks in the rock. C. Water, hot rock on earth and a reservoir. D. Water, hot rock near the surface and deep wells. A. cool the hot rock
C. create cracks and reservoirs
B. lower the pressure underground
B. export geothermal power to other parts of the country 52. We can learn from the third paragraph that _______. 53. Which of the following are the 3 natural components needed in using geothermal energy? 54. Water is pumped down to the rock to _______.

D. mix with the hot water underground
55. Which of the following pictures shows the correct way to get geothermal energy?
A. B. C. D.

When a novel is very successful, a director usually wants to turn it into a film.
It is exciting to see how the actors bring the characters to life on the screen. It can make some parts of the novel much clearer. So many people think that the movie is better than the book. However, changes are absolutely necessary when adapting hundreds of pages of a novel for a couple of hours of film. Some hidden meanings of the novel might be lost. So many people prefer reading the book to watching the movie.
My feeling is mixed. I really enjoy reading the novel and picturing the people in my mind. It is also fun to see the movie. I would have to say that both the novel and the film are just great.
