Quietly I 38 out of bed and picked up the pencil and paper from the dresser, and then tiptoed into the hall．The 39 from the living room shone dimly．I knew Mother was downstairs still doing some sewing．

I quickly 40 a note asking Mother to excuse me for being so 41 ．I didn’t want my sisters to know my

The next morning when I 44 my bed after breakfast, I 45 found a return note under my pillow．Mother wrote that she loved me and 46 me．This became my way of apologizing whenever I talked 47 or disobeyed．Mother always left a return note, but she never 48 our under-the-pillow messages in front of the family．Even when we were 49 , she never mentioned them when we sisters 50 our childhood． When Mother passed away, I had to go through her personal belongings．In her desk was a bundle of notes tied with a faded ribbon．On top was a message in handwriting which read, ―In the event of my death, please51 these．‖[

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

A

The summer has seen a series of marine disputes involving China, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Taiwan and the Philippines．This week there were more anti-Japanese riots in cities across China because of a dispute over a group of uninhabited islands known to the Japanese as the Senkakus and to the Chinese as the Diaoyu Islands．One Chinese newspaper has helpfully suggested skipping the pointless diplomacy and moving straight to the main course by serving up Japan with an atom bomb．

The government in Beijing is trying to play down the dispute, aware of the economic interests in keeping the peace．China is re-emerging after what it sees as 150 years of humiliation, surrounded by anxious neighbours, many

of them allied to America．In that context, disputes about clumps of rock could become very significant．Whatever the legality of Japan’s claim to the islands, its roots lie in empire-building．China’s leaders now face sharp criticism if they do not fight their country’s corner．A recent poll suggested that o ver half of China’s citizens thought the next few years would see a ―military dispute‖ with Japan．

The islands matter, therefore, less because of fishing, oil or gas than as counters in the high-stakes game for Asia’s future．Japan, Vietnam and the Philippines fear that if they give in, China will sense weakness and prepare the next demand．China fears that if it fails to press its case, America and others will conclude that they are free to scheme against it．

Asia’s inability to deal with the islands raises doubts about how it would cope with a genuine crisis, on the Korean peninsula, say, or across the Strait of Taiwan．And the tendency for the slightest quarrel to turn into a full-blown conflict presents problems for America, which both aims to reassure China that it welcomes its rise, and also uses the threat of military force to guarantee that the Pacific is worthy of the name．

56．Where is this news review most probably from?

A．China．B．Japan．C．The USA．D．Europe．

57．According to a Chinese newspaper, the best way to deal with the dispute is__________．A．holding diplomatic talks with the Japanese

B．moving the islands to the mainland of China

C．declaring war on Japan without a moment’s delay

D．turning to other countries such as the US for help

58．The most important reason for the dispute about the Diaoyu Islands is that________．

A．the scenery there is so beautiful

B．the natural resources are so rich

C．fish are abundant in the waters

D．they greatly affect Asia’s future

59．What do the underlined words in the second paragraph refer to?

A．The economic interests．B．The anxious neighbors．

C．The stubborn Japanese．D．The Diaoyu Islands．

60．Which of the following is TRUE?

A．Most of the Chinese citizens hope to handle the dispute in a peaceful way．

B．Only the United States has the ability to guarantee the peace of the Pacific．

C．The reason for Japan’s claim to the islands lies in its aggressive ambitions．

D．Even the Philippines were involved in the dispute of the Diaoyu Islands．

B

Chocolate soap is supposed to be good for the skin．But it’s not so good for the tongue．Unfortunately for the US soldiers of World War II, the chocolate bars the army gave them tasted like they were intended for use in the bath．In the army’s defense, it wasn’t trying to win any cooking awards．In fact, it specifically ordered that its chocolate bars not be too delicious, so soldiers wouldn’t eat them too quickly．These bars were created for survival, not taste．―They were awful,‖ John Otto, a former army captain in World WarⅡ said．―They were big, thick things, and they weren’t any good．I tried them, but I had to be awful hungry after I tried them once．‖

As unappealing as the chocolate bars were to some, others liked them．Samuel Hinkle, the chemist who created the chocolate bars, pointed out that the number of bars made were far greater than the army needed．―It soon became obvious that the generous American soldiers were sharing their valued possessions with their foreign friends, whether soldiers of other countries or local citizens．‖

The bars turned many hungry Europeans into friends of the United States．―People wanted them,‖ said Otto, ―You’d give them to kids．In some places they were very hungry．And they sure helped relax people about American soldiers．‖

Otto said he never saw a European turn his or her nose up at the chocolate．―It was food,‖ he said, ―At that time, everyone was very hungry．I saw German kids standing outside the U．S．army kitchen．They weren’t begging, just standing there very politely．When we were done, the kids would eat the food out of the garbage．They were that hungry．‖

Other Europeans did not see chocolate until well after the war ended．―We didn’t see any Americans where I was,‖ sa id Elizabeth Radsma, who was 25 years old when the Germans occupied her country, the Netherlands．―Even after the war, we saw only English．Maybe the Americans gave out some chocolate in the big cities, but we were only in a small town．Before the British, we saw only German soldiers．But chocolate? Don’t make me laugh! Maybe in my dreams!‖

A soldier in the field might have responded ―Be careful what you wish for‖ —and then gratefully bit on a chocolate bar, the only food available for miles．

61．What was the A merican soldiers’ attitude towards the chocolate bars?

A．They were delicious． B．They tasted awful．

C．They were necessary for survival．D．Too many of them were produced．

62．Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A．The US soldiers used the chocolate bars as bath soap．

B．The US soldiers did not have enough food during World WarⅡ．

C．The US army produced more chocolate bars than necessary for its soldiers．

D．European people regretted eating chocolate bars from the US soldiers．

63．The underlined expression ―turn his or her nose up at‖ probably means ____．

A．reject B．demand C．receive D．smell

64．Why does the author mention the German kids’ story?

A．To tell how friendly the American soldiers were．

B．To describe the hunger in Germany during the war．

C．To prove German kids could be very polite．

D．To show how much they were eager for chocolate．

65．Elizabeth Radsma never saw chocolate during the war because ____．

A．the US soldiers handed out all chocolate to people in big cities

B．the German soldiers kept them all for themselves

C．the British soldiers didn’t share it with the local people

D．the US soldiers never showed up in the small town she lived in

The iPhone, the iPad, each of Apple’s products sounds cool and has become a fad（一时的风尚）．Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter ―i‖ – and many other brands are following suit．The BBC’s iPlayer – which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet –adopted the title in 2008．A lovely bear – popular in the US and UK –that plays music and video is called ―iTeddy‖．A slimmed-down version of London’s Independent newspaper was launched last week under the name ―i‖．

In general, single-letter prefixes have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use．

Most ―i‖ products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of Independent’s ―i‖, it’s no surprise that they’ve selected this fashionable name．

But it’s hard to see what’s so special about the letter ―i‖．Why not use ―a‖, ―b‖, or ―c‖ instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at King’s College, London, ―i‖ works because its meaning h as become ambiguous．When Apple uses ―i‖, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, individual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines．―Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didn’t have one clear definition,‖ he says．

―However, thanks t o Apple, the term is now associated with portability．‖ adds Thorne．

Clearly the letter ―i‖ also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual．Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason．

Along with ―Google‖ and ―blog‖, readers of BBC Magazines voted ―i‖ as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade．

But as history shows, people grow tired of fads．From the 1900s to 1990s, products with ―2000‖ in their name s became fashionable as the year was associated with all things advanced and modern．However, as we entered the new century, the trend inevitably disappeared．

66．People use iPlayer to __________．

A．listen to music B．make a call

C．watch TV programs online D．read newspapers

67．We can infer that the Independent’s ―i‖ is aimed at __________．

A．young readers B．old readers

C．fashionable women D．engineers

68．The underlined word ―ambiguous‖ means ―__________‖．

A．popular B．uncertain C．definite D．unique

69．Nowadays, the ―i‖ term often reminds people of the products which are __________．

A．portable B．environmentally friendly

C．advanced D．recyclable

70．The writer suggests that __________．

A．―i‖ products are often o f high quality

B．iTeddy is alive bear

C．the letter ―b‖ replaces letter ―i‖ to name the products

D．the popularity of ―i‖ products may not last long

D

Psychology has a new application in the field of medicine．Many doctors, together with their patients, are looking for alternative methods of treatment of physical problems．In large hospitals, modern therapy（疗法）seems to focus on the physical disease．Patients may feel they are treated like broken machines．Some doctors have recognized this as a problem．They are now using psychological therapy, in which the patient is working with the doctors against the disease with the help of medicine．The patient does not wait for the medicine and treatment to cure him or her, but instead the patient joins in the fight．

The doctor knows that a disease affects a patient's body physically．The body of the patient changes because of the disease．He is not only physically affected, but also has an emotional response to the disease．Because his mind is affected, his attitude and behavior change．The medical treatment might cure the patient's physical problems, but the patient's mind must fight the emotional ones．For example, the studies of one doctor, Carl Simonton, M．D．, have shown that a typical cancer patient has predictable attitudes．She typically feels depressed, upset, and angry．Her constant depression makes her acts unfriendly toward her family, friends, doctors, and nurses．Such attitudes and behaviors prevent recovery．Therefore, a doctor's treatment must help the patient change that．Simonton's method emphasizes treatment of the ―whole‖ patient．

The attitude of a cancer patient receiving radiation therapy, an X-ray treatment, can become more positive．The physician who is following Simonton's psychological treatment plan suggests that the patient imagine that he or she can see the tumor（肿瘤）in the body．In the mental picture, the patient "sees" a powerful beam of radiation like a million bullets of energy．The patient imagines the beam hitting the tumor cells and causing them to shrink．For another cancer patient, Dr．Simonton asks him to imagine the medicine going from the stomach into the bloodstream and to the cancer cells．The patient imagines that the medicine is like an army fighting the diseased cells and sees the cancer cells gradually dying and his blood carry away the dead cells．Both the medical therapy and the patient's

positive attitude fight the disease．

Doctors are not certain why this mental therapy works．However, this use of psychology does help some patients because their attitudes about themselves change．They become more confident because they use the power within their own minds to help stop the disease．

Another application of using the mind to help cure disease is the use of suggestion therapy．At first, the doctor helps the patient to concentrate deeply．The patient thinks only about one thing．He becomes so unaware of other things around him that he is asleep, or rather in a trance（催眠状态）．Then the physician makes ―a suggestion‖ to the patient about the medical problem．The patient's mind responds to the suggestion even after the patient is no longer in the trance．In this way, the patient uses his mind to help his body respond to treatment．

Doctors have learned that this use of psychology is helpful for both adults and children．For example, physicians have used suggestion to help adults deal with the strong pain of some disease．Furthermore, sometimes the adult patient worries about her illness so much that the anxiety keeps her from getting well．The right suggestions may help the patient to stop being anxious．Such treatment may help the patient with a chronic（慢性的）diseases．Asthma （哮喘）is an example of a chronic disorder．Asthma is a disease that causes the patient to have difficulty in breathing．The patient starts to cough and sometimes has to fight to get the air that he or she needs．Psychology can help relieve the symptoms of this disorder．After suggestion therapy, the asthma patient breathes more easily．Physicians have learned that the psychological method is very useful in treating children．Children respond quickly to the treatment because they are fascinated by it．For example, Dr．Basil R．Collison has worked with 121 asthmatic children in Sydney, Australia, and had good results．Twenty-five of the children had Excellent results．They were able to breathe more easily, and they did not need medication．Another forty-three were also helped．The symptoms of the asthma occurred less frequently, and when they did, they were not as strong．Most of the children also felt better about themselves．Doctors have also used suggestion to change habits like nail-biting, thumb-sucking, and sleep-related problems．

Many professional medical groups have accepted the medical use of psychology and that psychology has important applications in medicine．

71．How does psychological therapy work?

A．The patient waits for the medicine and treatment to cure him．

B．The doctor uses medical treatment to cure the patient's problems．

C．The doctor, the medicine, and the patient work together to fight disease．

D．The patient uses his mind to cure himself．

72．What can we learn from the studies of Carl Simonton, M．D．?

A．The medical treatment can cure the patient's mental disease．

B．The treatment of a patient by treating the body and the mind is necessary．

C．The mental treatment is more important than medical treatment．

D．Few patients have emotional response to the disease．

73．The use of psychological therapy is helpful to some patients in that ．

A．the medical effect is better with psychological therapy than without it

B．the patients can see a powerful beam of radiation hitting their tumor cells

C．the patients' attitudes towards themselves have changed

D．the patients are easy to accept the methods the doctors use to treat them

74．It can be learned from the passage that suggestion therapy cannot be used to ．

A．help adults deal with the strong pain of some diseases

B．help the patients with chronic diseases

C．help change some bad habits

D．help cure patients of sleeplessness

75．According to the passage, which of the following remains unknown so far?

A．The value of mental therapy．

B．The effectiveness of suggestion therapy．

[1] On the day of Chongyang Festival, one traditional activity is to climb mountains．However, mountains are not everywhere for people to climb．Therefore, for those people who live in flat regions far from any mountain, the problem is solved by going for a picnic and eating cakes．The Chinese word for cake is Gao, a homonym of the Chinese word for high．Mountains are high, so eating cakes can, by a stretch of the imagination, take the place of ______________．

[3] In the Six Dynasties, cakes become the food for the season as the tradition Chongyang Festival is formed with the promotion of mountain-climbing activity．As the cakes appear in different forms, Chongyang Cake was also called Hua （Colorful）Cake in the Ming & Qing Dynasty and became the food for the season in urban and rural areas．Hua Cake is divided into Unpolished Hua Cake, Refined Hua Cake and Gold Coin Hua Cake．Unpolished Hua Cake is marked with caraway（香菜）leaves, sandwiched with date, peach kernel（果仁）and other unpolished dry fruits．Refined Hua Cake is made in either two or three layers, with each sandwiched with refined glazed fruits, such as preserved apple, peach and apricot．

you some useful information and regulations．I won’t keep you alone．First, how to enter our library．Thanks to the advanced technology, you just need to bring your student card and touch it in front of the touch point．And the door will automatically open for you．In the opening hour, our library is open from 9．am till 10．pm every weekday．For the weekends, it’s only open from 11．am to 4．pm．Please spare that in mind．So you won’t come in vain．Our library is also open for the local residents．And there are differences for the students and the public．Our current students can borrow up to 12 at the same time．However for the rest, the max main they can borrow is 9．You need to return the books on time or your library can’t will be blocked．And you can’t borrow any more books．Remember books have different due date, according to their popularity．Mostly the book should

be returned within 4 weeks．But for the popular books, you have to bring them back within only one week．The last thing I must mention here is that you are not allowed here smoke in library anywhere at anytime．And to say drinks, only bottled water is allowed to bring in．OK, now It’s time to show you where to everything is．
