Five years ago, when I taught art at a school in Seattle, I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students. I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said:“Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today—and 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week.”
A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see what the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.
Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students.
Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who B. 7:30 pm–1:00 am. D. 8:30 pm–10:30 pm.
梦想不会辜负每一个努力的人- 4 -
had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, “But I’m just not creative.”
“Do you dream at night when you’re asleep?” “Oh, sure.”
“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “That’s pretty creative. Who does that for you?”
“Nobody. I do it.”
“Really—at night, when you’re asleep?” “Sure.”
“Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay?”
【A】25. The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to
A. know more about the students
.
B. make the lessons more exciting D. teach the students about toy design
C. raise the students’ interest in art 【D】26. What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A. He liked to help his teacher. C. He was active in class. B. He preferred to study alone. D. He was imaginative.
【B】27. What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Mistake.
B. Drawback. C. Difficulty. D. Burden.
【A】28. Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?
A. To help them to see their creativity. B. To find out about their sleeping habits. C. To help them to improve their memory. D. To find out about their ways of thinking.

Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website BookCrossing.com turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.
Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.梦想不会辜负每一个努力的人- 5 -
Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”
Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.
People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.
BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.
【B】29. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?
A. To explain what they are. B. To introduce BookCrossing. C. To stress the importance of reading. D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.
【A】30. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The book.
B. An adventure.
D. The identification number.
C. A public place.
【C】31. What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?
A. Meet other readers to discuss it. C. Pass it on to another reader. 【D】32. What is the best title for the text?
A. Online Reading: A Virtual Tour B. Electronic Books: A New Trend C. A Book Group Brings Tradition Back. D. A Website Links People through Books

A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.
Frank Hurley’s pictures would be outstanding—undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism—if they had been made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after

a disastrous shipwreck(海难), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.
The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of Antarctica’s Weddell Sea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇)across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.
As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort. Scott’s last journey, completed as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world’s imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography. Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published.
【D】33. What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?
A. They were made last week. B. They showed undersea sceneries. D. They recorded a disastrous adventure.
C. They were found by a cameraman.
【C】34. Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?
A. Frank Hurley.
B. Ernest Shackleton. D. Caroline Alexander.
C. Robert Falcon Scott.
【C】35. What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage?
A. Artistic creation. C. Money making.
B. Scientific research. D. Treasure hunting.

Others are concerned about using gardening methods that require less water and fewer fertilizers(肥料). 38【E】 . However, there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden. One of them comes from our earliest years.
●Recall(回忆)your childhood memories

And they’ve never actually 41 you. Everything they know about you 42 through this device sometimes from hundreds of miles away. 43 they feel they can know you 44 from the sound of your voice. That’s how powerful the 45 is.
Powerful, yes, but not always 46 . For years I dealt with my travel agent only by phone. Rani, my faceless agent whom I’d never met 47 , got me rock-bottom prices on airfares, cars, 梦想不会辜负每一个努力的人- 8 -
and hotels. But her cold voice really 48 me. I sometimes wished to 49 another agent.
One morning, I had to 50 an immediate flight home for a family emergency. I ran into Rani’s office 51 . The woman sitting at the desk, 52 my madness, sympathetically jumped up. She gave me a 53 smile, nodded while listening patiently, and then printed out the 54 immediately. “What a wonderful lady!” I thought.
Rushing out 55 I called out over my shoulder. “By the way, what’s your name?” “I’m Rani,” she said. I turned around and saw a 56 woman with a big smile on her face waving to wish me a safe trip. I was 57 ! Why had I thought she was cold? Rani was, well, so 58 . Sitting back in the car on the way to the airport, I figured it all out. Rani’s 59 —her warm smile, her nods, her ‘I’m here for you’ 60 —were all silent signals that didn’t travel through wires.

第Ⅱ卷 第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节,满分45分) 第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分) 阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。 If you feel stressed by responsibilities at work, you should take a step back and identify(识别) those of 61 greater (great) and less importance.

Recent 66 studies (study) show that we are far more productive at work if we take short breaks 67 regularly (regular). Give your body and brain a rest by stepping outside for 68 while, exercising, or doing something you enjoy.
If you find something you love doing outside of the office, you’ll be less likely 69 to bring (bring) your work home. It could be anything—gardening, cooking, music, sports—but whatever it is, 70 make (make) sure it’s a relief from daily stress rather than another thing to worry about. 第四部分 写作(共两节,满分35分) 第一节短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分) 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误,每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。 增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧),并在其下面写出该加的词。 删除:把多余的词用斜线(\\)划掉。 修改:在错的词下划一横线,并在该词下面写出修改的词。 注意:1. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词; 2. 只允许修改10处,多者(从第11处起)不计分。 The summer holiday is coming.
