Tommy pulled the covers over his head. Logic also told him that this did not make him “I can’t under these blankets,” he thought. He pulled the covers back, allowing his head to be to the unseen terrors of the night.

It’s strange how sounds seem to be magnified by the darkness. The most innocent events, which are not noticed in the light, seem and threatening. An ant scurried across the floor and Tommy screamed, “, they’re coming to get me!”

The English language grew out of the languages of the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes. They were Northern European peoples who settled in England (start) in the 5th century AD. By about the 9th century AD the earliest version of the English language, as Old English, or Anglo – Saxon, had developed. To a modern eye, Old English looks like a foreign language. However, the major works of Old English literature have been translated into English.

Most scholars agree that the longest surviving poem Old English is Beowulf, a tale of legendary heroes and monsters. It is also one of the first European poems written in a local language than Latin. The author’s name is not known. The first Old English poet who is known by name is Caedmon. Caedmon was a cowherd who lived before the year 700. His verses (诗文) were on Bible stories and had to be written down by others Caedmon himself could not read or write. Cynewulf, who lived in the 800s, was author of religious poetry.

Late in the 800s, the scholarly king Alfred the Great and many helpers translated important books from Latin English. It was under Alfred the Anglo – Saxon Chronicle, an important record of the early history of England, was begun.

III、阅读（共两节，满分40分）

第一节 阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

A

The number of speakers of English in Shakespeare’s time is estimated to have been about five million. Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. In addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regional and social varieties of the language, as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms.

It is virtually impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an adequate working knowledge of English in addition to their own languages. The purpose for English learning and the situations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to define and still more difficult to assess what constitutes an adequate working knowledge for each situation.

The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its present-day importance as a world language. Besides serving the infinite needs of its native speakers, English is a language in which some of important works in science, technology, and other fields are being produced, and not always by native speakers. It is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications, international conferences, and the dissemination of information over the radio and television networks of many nations. It is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries, especially former British colonies. Many of these countries have multi-lingual populations and need a language for internal communication in such matters as government, commerce, industry, law and education as well

In Europe people hold the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right throughout the meal, a system that is generally agreed to be more efficient than the American zigzag method. Americans hold both the fork and the knife in their right hands throughout the meal, so they continually change their forks to the left hand when they have to cut their meat. It seems to be funny for the Europeans to see Americans busy changing their dinner sets, making a lot of noises. A few explanations for this American style are as follows:

（1）Americans are practical and efficient. Since most of us are right-handed, it is reasonable to keep our working tools at all times in the right hand that can use them most efficiently.

（2）Americans, the master of the New World are rebels. They use the zigzag method to break the rules in the Old World and in this way they are thumbing their nose at Mother England. Americans are a restless kind. They do not like to sit in one spot for very long when dining.

（3）Forced to do so, they respond by “playing”with the silver.

Whatever the reason for the practice, it is now certainly as American as apple pie. Europeans recognize this and are quick to attack it as evidence of Americans innocence of form. Arguments against the zigzag method rest not only on grounds of efficiency but also on those of tradition. In Old World Dining, the knife is held in the right hand continually because it can serve as an instant defense against the uninvited intruders （入侵者）. However, such alertness（警觉）is out of place in the New World, as every American believes that this is the home of the brave. Americans their silverware, perhaps, to show that they are not afraid and that one of them holding a fork is worth any number of them holding

48．The underlined word “juggle” in the last sentence probably means A．hold B．lay down C．pick up D．play with

In the age of reality television, success isn’t the only way to the public eye. Failure can also create fame, just like William Hung, 21, a native of Hong Kong.

Hung recently has made an agreement with US-based entertainment firms Koch Records and Fuse Music Network. They will publish a full-length record, titled “The True Idol” on April 6.

The idol is a civil engineering student at the University of California at Berkeley. He did a version（改写本）of Ricky Martin’s “She Bangs’on the television show “American Idol 3”, on January 27. The Fox TV singing contest searches for pop stars among ordinary people. In the case of Hung, however, his act was so bad that the judges cut him off in mid-act.

Hung’s response? “I already gave my best, so I have no regrets at all.” That’s good, because any common person would have found plenty to regret: the off-key singing; the blue Hawaiian shirt worn with pants pulled up too high; the terrible dancing; the hips jerking （摇摆）to a beat that did not belong to the song, maybe not even to this planet. It was, by all accounts, bad. But, it was this very bad act that sold well.

Marc Juris, president of Fuse, explained it this way: “Everyone of us is happily guilty of singing our favorite song at the top of our lungs with complete freedom, completely off-key and completely unworried. That’s what William did and immediately won the hearts of America. ”

is, for the moment it’s big. Three websites devoted to Hung have gone up on the Internet in the past few weeks. Versions of his performance have been remixed with hip hop and techno music and have made it to the top 10 request list at a Chicago radio station.

So, what does Hung think of this?

“There were all these people saying things about me. A lot were saying I was very courageous and that I was great on the show, but some didn’t have much respect for me and some were kind of mean ” Now, he says he’s not so sure whether to distance himself from the glamour（魅力）or to accept it. Returning to normal hasn’t been easy.

51．What is the main idea of this passage?

考试练习,考前冲刺

A．Sometimes an idol behaves quite foolishly.

B．Hung’s performance attracted the public eye.

C．How an unsuccessful person became famous.

D．Success sometimes does not require hard work.

52．Hung was popular in America for all the following reasons EXCEPT ________.

A．his shirt and pants B．his off-key singing

C．his hips jerking D．his excellent version

53．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 6 refer to?

A．William Hung. B．Hung’s bad act.

C．Hung’s website. D．The public’s opinion.

54．Which of the following shows the correct order of what happened to Hung?

a．The entertainment firms made an agreement with Hung.

b．The judges cut Hung off in mid-act in the singing contest.

c．Hung became popular among Americans.

d．Hung gave a terrible performance though he tried his best.

e．Three websites put Hung’s funny performance on the Internet.

A．d, b, e, c, a B．a, c, d, b, e C．a, d, b, c, e D．d, b, a, e, c

55．Why was Hung able to win the hearts of America?

A．His success was based on his own hard work.

B．He attracted people’s attention in the contest.

C．He was good-looking though he didn’t sing well.

D．His character was completely different from other idols”

As I got into a taxi one afternoon, the driver was very angry about something that had happened to him earlier that day. Here’s how he told the story:

“One of my fares (旅客) left a wallet in my cab this morning. Nearly three hundred dollars in it. I spent more than an hour trying to trace the guy. Finally I found him at his hotel. He took the wallet without a word and glared at me as though I’d meant to steal it.”

“He didn’t give you a reward?” I asked.

“Not a cent. But it wasn’t the money I wanted,” he fumbled, then exploded, “If the guy had only said something…”

Why was the driver so upset? All he wanted was something simple, but even more valuable than

Possible Verison:

We Cannot Do without Gratitude

got mad and disappointed, for he received nothing for his efforts to return the lost wallet to its owner, not even a simple word. (28 words) The story sets me thinking about gratitude. Gratitude is the feeling of being grateful, the art of receiving gracefully, and the act of showing appreciation for every act of kindness, big or small, that others do for us.

Gratitude can take many forms. It can be expressed by a large, dramatic gesture or it can be shown in a small way, like finding a very original and personal way to say thanks for a friend’s gift. Whatever we do to show our gratitude, we should do it in a sincere manner, for it is the feelings in our hearts that matters the most.

The story reminds us how important it is to express our gratitude to the ones who have offered us help. We can never be too grateful. The smiles and the thanks we give help us to build a better world, one that we can all live in and enjoy. (152 words)
