A

When I was 15, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my short-comings(缺点). Week by week her list grew. I was skinny(瘦的), I talked too loud, I was too proud, and so on. I put up with(忍受)her as long as I could. At last, I ran to my father in tears and anger. He listened to my outburst quietly. Then he asked, “Are the things she says the true or not?” True? I wanted to know how to strike back. What did truth have to do with it?”

“Mary, didn’t you ever wonder what you are really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. You needn’t pay attention to the other things she said.

I did as he told me and discovered to my surprise that about half the things are true. Some of them I couldn’t change.(like being skinny), but a good number I could – and suddenly wanted to-- change. For the time in my life I began to get a quiet clear picture of myself.

I brought the list back to Daddy, but he wouldn’t take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know

better than any else the truth about yourself, once you hear it. But you’ve got to learn to listen, not close your ears in anger or hurt. When someone says something about you, you’ll know if it’s true or not. If it is, you’ll find it will echo(共鸣)inside you.

“I still don’t think it very nice of her to talk about me in front of everybody.”

“Mary, there is one way you could stop others talking about you ever again, and criticizing(批评)you—just say nothing and do nothing. But then, if you do that, you’d find you were nothing. You wouldn’t like that now, would you?”

“No,” I admitted（承认）.

Alex Harley was born in the northeast of New York in 1921,but he spent most of his early life with his mother’s family in Southern Tenesee. His grandmother told him stories about their family. Their history, she said, began with Toby. He was a slave(奴隶) from Africa and his name was Kintay.

Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote a very famous story called Tarzan of the Apes.

This story tells about a shipwreck(船只失事) on the West coast of Africa. The passengers on the ship include a certain Lord and Lady Greystoke from England. Lord and Lady Greystoke are the only survivors of the shipwreck.

Lord Greystoke builds a kind of shelter high up in the trees - a treehouse - for his pregnant(有孕的) wife and does his best to make them comfortable in their new jungle home. Lady Greystoke gives birth to a boy. They call the boy John. Unfortunately, she dies and leaves Lord Greystoke to take care of the baby on his own. Lord Greystoke is killed by a huge ape(猿人) that comes to see the strange house in the trees. The baby is left all alone. Fortunately, a female ape, whose baby has recently died, finds the human baby alone in the treehouse. Even though the baby is white and hairless, she feels a mother's love for it and begins to feed and take care of it. She becomes John's mother. John - who later takes the name Tarzan, never having known his real identity(身份) —grows strong and powerful living among the apes. He has the advantage of human intelligence and finally grows up to be leader of the apes and, in the end, lord of the jungle.

The book tells many stories of Tarzan's adventures in the jungles, his fights with savage animals, his encounters with other human beings (many of whom are as dangerous as the animals) and his re-discovery of his true identity.

New research shows that Earth will have more than nine thousand million people by two thousand fifty. The world population is at present about six point four thousand million.

The research is from the Population Reference Bureau, a private group based in Washington. It says

most growth will take place in developing countries in Africa and western Asia.

India is expected to pass China as the world’s most populated nation. By the middle of the century, the report says, India will have over one and one-half thousand million citizens, an increase of fifty percent.

China has one point three thousand million people at present. The Population Reference Bureau says the population should increase about ten percent by two thousand fifty.

Most developed nations will see a drop in their populations. The only big exception is expected to be the United States. The report says the United States will remain the third biggest nation. The population is close to three hundred million now. It is expected to reach four hundred twenty million. The report says this will be because of immigration（移民）and low death rates among babies.

Between now and two thousand fifty, Niger is expected to be the fastest growing country. The biggest decrease(下降) is expected in Bulgaria.

The study is based on information from governments and the United Nations. Researcher Carl Haub wrote the report. He examined infant(婴儿) death rates, life expectancy, birth rates and the age structure of nations. The study also considered family planning use and, for the first time, rates of AIDS.

Mister Haub says most growth will take place in countries with young populations and traditionally large families. He points to Nigeria and Japan as two nations that are moving in opposite directions in terms of population.

67. The best title for the text is likely to be _____.

A. World Population and the Development of Industry

第Ⅱ卷(共35分)

第四部分：(共两节，满分35分)

第一节：任务型阅读(共10个空格：每空1分，满分10分)

阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在文后第71至第80小题的空格里填上适当的单词或短语。注意：每空不超过3个单词。

Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the US or Australia. They also want their children to take extra-courses activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes that will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.

However, what most parents fail to see is that the best education they can give their children is usually very cheap.

Parents can see that their children’s skills vary, skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today’s children lack self-respect and self-confidence.

The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever.

Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking , sewing and doing other housework.

Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of confidence.

Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.

What Chinese Parents Do In 71_____________ Their Children

Attitude 72_______________

Measures/Dos Never care about money.

Send them to the best schools or abroad.

Wish their children to 73_____________ or other classes.
