My friends regard me as a goody-goody; my parents say I am conservative and modest when it es to clothes. None of my skirts or shorts end above my knees. So why, why did I feel so invited? My family and I were in Target, and there it was, waiting. A skirt, specifically designed not to cover anything. It looked like something that one of those modern schoolgirls would wear. I checked my purse. The skirt cost $10. I had the money. I could buy it. I imagined walking into school and my friends jaws (下巴) dropping. Guys would ask me out, and I would be happy. I could buy it, no, I should buy it. I showed my mother. She was surprised but said it was my decision. My sister looked on enviously.I went into the dressing room to try it on. So sure was I that this skirt would change me, somehow make me not what I am but what I wished to be. I slid my jeans off and put it on. I looked in the mirror. There I was a terrible girl in a Superman T-shirt and sneakers. My glasses fogged up as I started to cry. The skirt did not change me. Though it fit well and might make me look good in the eyes of todays world, it was not me. I am not a girl who wears cool clothes to fit in. I took the thing off and slid back into the fort of modesty. My mom knocked on the door. “Emily, are you okay?” I wiped away my tears. “Im fine.” I looked in the mirror again and saw a slim girl with funny glasses. I saw myself.36. In the authors eyes the skirt that interested her was _.A. not modernB. very shortC. too expensiveD. poorly designed37. The author thought if she went to school in this skirt her schoolmates would be _.A. shockedB. hurtC. confusedD. happier38. The underlined sentence in the 3rd paragraph indicates the author _.A. hesitated about buying the skirt B. made up her mind to buy the skirtC. was able to afford to buy the skirtD. worried about others opinion on the skirt39. The author cried because _.A. she found that she looked ugly in the skirtB. she was aware the skirt didnt fit her wellC. she realized its a wrong decision to make a changeD. she was disappointed the skirt failed to change herBTravel can be a lifesaver. But in todays economy (經(jīng)濟(jì)) with airlines adding new fees almost daily and ticket prices sharply on the rise, many have written off travel as too expensive. However, with a few saving tricks and a little research, there are still lots of great deals to be had on airline tickets and more.Early Bird Gets the Deal. Travel experts say that there are certain times of day when more deals are available. Airfares can change three times a day as airlines adjust their prices to fill up flights. Early morning is when the fares tend to be lowest.What Wouldnt a Business Traveler do? Flying when business travelers dont can save you big money. Most business travelers fly on Mondays and Fridays, so Tuesday and Wednesday are the best days. Airlines will usually lower their prices on these days to aggressively try and fill empty seats. Fly to popular places at unpopular times. The slowest time of the year for travel is in the Fall between Labor Day and Thanksgiving. Again, to try and fill more empty seats, the airlines will lower prices and offer better deals to get people to fly during this time of the year.Package Deals Many times the best deals on airfare can be found as part of a package rate. Most travel sites have package rates available. Often, the entire package (hotel, airfare, rental car) is cheaper than just the plane ticket on another site. Even if you dont need the rental car, with the money youve saved on the flight, you can afford to take a taxi. These deals are especially good on last minute bookings.With a little inside knowledge and some good timing, you can get yourself a steal on a ticket to the vacation you thought was out of reach.40. Which would be the best title for the text?A. Tips on Vocation TravellingB. Advice for Business Travelers C. The Effect of Economy on AirlinesD. Tricks of Finding the Cheapest Flights 41.

Which of the following can be filled in the blank in the text?A. Fly to popular places.B. Dont Miss the Holydays.C. Better Avoid the Crowds. D. Lose No Chance for Travelling.43. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Saving tricks can make the seemingly impossible vacation possible.B. Inside knowledge and good timing help you to steal tickets from airlines.C. Vacation will be out of reach without inside knowledge and good timing.D. Who thinks the vacation is out of reach never grasps the tricks of saving.CNot many people can say that they have lived in two totally different environments, and technically neither can I. I have lived in the same house in the same Connecticut town my whole life, but a lot of my childhood and teenage years have been spent visiting my family in New York City.Wethersfield is a typical New England town, a small close munity (社區(qū)) where almost everyone knows your name. My friends all go to the same high school and my parents are friendly with my friends parents. Most of my friends dont realize what life is like outside this little town. Maybe every so often a few take a day trip to Manhattan or Boston, but none really knows what its like to live in an urban environment.My parents are both from New York City and since they have siblings and friends who still live there, we visit a lot. From an early age I have been exposed to urban life. Jeff, one of my cousins, lives with his mother in a one-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn. He has never had his own room and has always been very much on his own. I dont think any of my friends could understand how someone could live like that. When I go to the city I see things I would never see in my hometown. I see poverty and people struggling to make a living. I observe a whole different pace; there, youre just one guy living with millions of others who will never know your name.I feel blessed to have experienced the lifestyles of two pletely different places. I am grateful for the opportunities I have had. I feel that living in Wethersfield has given me a solid base in forming my character and the ability to deal in a close-knit society. On the other hand, my time spent in New York has exposed me to diverse cultural experiences. I feel that I would be fortable in any environment and could make the best of any situation.44.

Barackalypse People just get tired of paying for others bad behavior. If many people eat excessive fast food, you pay higher insurance premiums.

EThe structure and workings of the university are ever changing. The university of the past is not like the university of the present and the university of the present will not be like the university of the future. This “adaptation” to the times is what can make some universities great or make some universities among the worst in the nation. In the past the university was very set in their ways. They did things the way they wanted them done. They paid no attention to the rest of the society and the way the ones paying the bills wanted them done. In the past the professors would lecture endlessly to the students, which often left the students bored and with no idea what was really said to them in the lecture. This is no way to try and teach students; students need interaction with the professors that are paid to teach them. As Paulo Freire believed there needs to be munication between the students and the professors and the class should not be totally memorization. This is the way that things were done in the past. In the present many universities have either changed or are changing the way that they run their universities. The universities now are taking on many of the modern educational beliefs in order to make changes in the teaching methods. Universities are breaking down many of the divides between majors that they offer. By breaking these barriers the universities are being less specialized and more diverse. This goes along with the ideas of Berry who believes that the schools are over-specialized and that the universities are now just machines that are merely meant to produce workers. In the past few years the colleges have been lowering the standards of admission, which in turn lowers the standards of all the schools below the college level. The universities are now on the right track by increasing the standards of admission into their colleges. 52. In the authors view, what can decide a universitys quality?A. What its structure is like.B. How its workings are run.C. What times it belongs to.D. Whether itll adjust itself.53. Which of the following is NOT a feature of universities in the past?A. They were run in a fixed way.B. They ignored the needs of society.C. They had lower standards of admission.D. Professors lacked interaction with students.54. What is the authors main attitude towards universities in the present?A. Positive.B. Doubtful.C. Passive.D. Uncertain.55. What would the author most probably focus on in the following part of this passage?A. Universities in the future.B. The standards of schools.C. The admission into some colleges.D. Other changes of teaching methods.四、寫作（共兩個(gè)寫作任務(wù)，滿分35分）寫作一（滿分15分）請(qǐng)結(jié)合圖片內(nèi)容，按要求用英語寫作。要求：（1）簡要描述圖片內(nèi)容； （2）結(jié)合生活實(shí)際，發(fā)表你的看法；（3）要緊扣圖片，有明確的觀點(diǎn)； （4）詞數(shù)不少于60； （5）在答題卡上作答。 寫作二（滿分20分）假如你叫李華，即將高中畢業(yè)，準(zhǔn)備到美國讀大學(xué)。現(xiàn)在你有一些關(guān)于SAT考試（美國大學(xué)入學(xué)考試）的問題需要咨詢，請(qǐng)你寫一封e-mail向你的美國朋友Peter請(qǐng)教你所關(guān)注的以下問題：1.
