Many years ago, a salesman opened a bag of things from Scotland and found a card at the top. It read, “Expect a Miracle(奇迹).” “What does that mean?” he thought, and then 36 it into his pocket.
That night he showed it to his wife. “Look at this, 高考资源网. What do you think it means?”
“Maybe this is what we need,” she said. “Our 37 are so great that they are too much for us. If we start 38 great things instead of the worst, miracle may 39 .” They decided to try changing their thinking for a few days, starting with their 40 problems. Then something changed.

Miracles come in all 48 : big, medium-sized, and small. Start expecting the small ones, and work your way up to the big. Think positively, 49 yourself and work hard. You’ll find yourself 50 by how meaningful and lively your life has become. k*s*5u

第三部分：阅读理解 (共13小题，每小题2分，满分26分)
A
The 16-year-old girl Jessica Watson is said to be the youngest person to sail non-stop alone around the world. But her record has been questioned because someone thought that she has not sailed far enough. She will also not be recognized by the World Speed Sailing Record Council, as it was too dangerous for someone under 18 years old.
Ms. Watson sailed into Sydney port on Saturday, seven months after leaving on a hard voyage. Family, friends and Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd have gathered to greet her. Thousands of well-wishers waited at the port and watched from boats as Ms Watson sailed her pink, 10m boat over the finishing line. Many more Australians watched the event broadcast live on television. Watson said she was just an “ordinary girl who believed in her dream”.
Ms. Watson left Sydney on 18 October, despite that some people disagreed to her plan. Watson traveled northeast through the South Pacific and across the equator (赤道), south to Cape Horn at the tip of South America, across the Atlantic Ocean to South Africa, through the Indian Ocean and around southern Australia. The route took her through some of the world’s most changeful waters, and she battled through huge storms and suffered seven accidents of her boat.
People around the world have followed Ms. Watson’s adventures on her blog, which she has daily updated (更新). On her blog, she wrote down beautiful sunrise over seas, the excitement of meeting a blue whale and the bright, terrible sight of a shooting star flying across the night sky above her boat. Ms. Watson has reportedly sold her story to a news company for $700,000. She is planning to write a book on her experience.
51. Which of the following oceans didn’t Ms Watson cross through in her voyage?
A. The Pacific Ocean. B. The Arctic Ocean.
C. The Indian Ocean. D. The Atlantic Ocean.
52. Ms. Watson’s voyage will NOT be considered an official world record mainly because __________.
A. no one can prove that her route was dangerous enough k*s*5u
B. she hasn’t applied for the record
C. teenagers are not encouraged to take such a dangerous adventure
D. girls are not allowed to take part in the dangerous sports
53. We can make a conclusion from this passage that Watson __________.
A. would make another voyage for money
B. made the world round voyage for money
C. had no way to communicate with others during the voyage.

D. people have different attitudes towards her voyage
B
“Kill it!” she cried.
“Certainly not,” he said.
“Why? You’re not frightened of it, are you? It’s only an insect.”
“It isn’t an insect, though it might look like one. Actually, it is very useful. The program I watched last night has completely changed my views on spiders. Do you want to hear about it?”
“Not really,” she sighed, “but I suppose you’re going to tell me anyway.”
“Spiders,” he said, ignoring her remarks, “are the enemies of insects and the friends of humans. That’s something that Chinese farmers realized years ago and scientists are only beginning to understand today.”
“Do you know in parts of China, in autumn, farmers build shelters for spiders and put them all over their fields? They are like little cone-shaped (锥形的) tents made of straw and spiders can survive the winter in them. When spring comes, they come out, healthy and hungry, at the same time as millions of insects arrive to attack the farmers’ crops.”
“So the spiders fill their empty stomachs, and the farmers whose fields are protected are happy. They’ve saved their crops and their money. Because of the spiders, their cost on insecticides (杀虫剂) is zero.”
“So everyone is happy except insects.” she said.
“Right, and now this natural method of pest control is being copied all over the world.”
“Interesting,” she said, “But now I really must go and ……”
“Wait,” he cried. “There’s more.Do you know what is stronger than steel, lighter than a feather, and as elastic (弹性的) as a rubber band?”
“No. What is it?”
“It’s the silk that spiders make their webs with. And scientists are trying to develop a material with similar properties. They plan to use it in spacecraft, artificial organs like hearts and to make really bullet-proof vests. Doctor think spiders’ poison might be used to treat brain disorders in humans.” k*s*5u
“That’s good news for you then,” she laughed, “But seriously, I get your point.”
55. Cone-shaped tents are built and put over the fields for spiders to ________.
A. go through the winter safely B. protect farmers’ crops from being eaten
C. attack their enemies in nature D. become very healthy and hungry
56. From the passage we learn that without spiders, the farmers _________.
A. would also save their crops
B. could do nothing to protect their crops
C. would spend more money on insecticide
D. could control insects in the fields without difficulty
57. Which is the best way to kill insects according to this passage?
A. Spraying (喷射) insecticides over fields. B. Making use of their enemy in nature.
C. Building shelters for spiders. D. Making more artificial webs.
C
There are plenty of possible reasons why you don’t have any flowers near you. Perhaps, you just don’t like them. Or maybe someone nearby doesn’t. Maybe you’re at work, and flowers are not allowed. Assuming(假定) the problem is simply that you don’t have time to go out and get flowers, you may be surprised to learn just how easy it actually is.
It’s good to get flowers for yourself, but even better to be given them. I’m sure you know this, just as I’m sure there’s someone special in your life who feels the same way. So why not take the chance to make someone happy, and get them some flowers? I know, you would, but it’s just too much trouble. Well, that’s where you’re wrong!
It’s a good excuse, and while it might have worked in the past, I’m afraid it doesn’t work any more. Perhaps you are really too busy to go into town and get some flowers. On the other hand, the fact that you are reading this clearly shows that you have enough time to go online. Nowadays, you can buy pretty well anything online, and yes that includes flowers.
By the way, there’s another point to consider here.
Price. I’m sure you’ve noticed that you can usually get things cheaper if you buy online, and flowers are no exception. For the same price as a few roses, you could have a full bouquet of flowers picked and arranged by an expert.
So why are you still here? Go online, and hunt down some flowers! There are plenty of flower shops available, and you should have no trouble finding one that delivers near you, especially if you live in a city or large town. Then you’re just a few clicks away from a beautiful bouquet.
58. From the third paragraph, we can know that ________.
A. we can get flowers with the help of the Internet
B. it is very difficult for us to get more flowers
C. everyone used to be very busy with their work
D. we are too busy to surf the Net
59. The underlined work “delivers” in the last paragraph refers to ________.
A. buys sth. for you B. brings sth. to you
C. books sth. for you D. teaches sth. to you
60. What’s the purpose of the author’s writing this passage?
A. To advise people to buy flowers online.
B. To explain why people don’t buy flowers.
C. To list the advantages of buying flowers online.
D. To share some information about a flower shop.
D
Recently, a professor of philosophy (哲学) in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of Life. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day-to-day life has more meanings than we usually think. One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to keep a record of every penny they spend for a week. From the way they spend their money, they often see what they really value in life.
He says our relation with others often becomes clearly defined (限定于) when money enters the picture. You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are very good friends. But you will know him only when you ask him to lend you some money. If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems stronger than ever before. Or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesn’t. This person may say that he has a certain feeling, but if it is not carried out in the money world, there is something less real about it.
Since money is so important to us, we just have an idea of making more and more money, but what is it for? How much do I need for any given purposes in my life? In his book, the professor uncovered an important need in modern society: to bring back the idea that money is an instrument rather than the end. Money plays an important role in the material world, but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life.
61. According to the first paragraph, people have not realized____.
A. how important money is in their day-to-day life
B. how one spends money shows what is important to him
C. that money is more important than their philosophy of life
D. that their understanding of life is more important than money
62. The author seems to believe that asking your friend to lend you some money ____.
A. is a good way to test your friendship B. will do harm to your friendship
C. will do harm to your friendship D. is a good way to break off your friendship
63. What does the American professor of philosophy want to explain in his book?
A. Money is an end. B. Money is a means.
C. Money is not an end. D. Money is unimportant.

Obesity has become a serious problem which affects Chinese children. It’s reported that there are 12 million obese children in our country. No breakfast, too much fast food and no sports contribute to this problem. It’s dangerous to live with such a lifestyle. The next generation is at risk.
In my opinion, parents ought to prepare a balanced diet for their children which contains less sugar and fat but more vitamins. Going for regular exercise to lose weight can be a solution too. Besides, the government should control the number of fast food restaurants and the food industry should care more about the health of the children instead of just seeking profits.

Years later, when I stood in the kitchen of my new house, thinking how I wanted to make my 41 Christmas there special and memorable, I 42 remembered the women’s visit. I decided that I wanted to create that same feeling of 43 for as many children as I could possibly reach.

A
Buster Brown was a thief-and a good one，too，he thought . He’d never been caught by the police because he never took chances. He was always prepared for any unforeseen event or emergency.
Confidently，he stood outside the house of his intended victim(受害者)and read the sign on the front gate of the house.“Don't worry about the dog—be aware of the owner!”it said.Buster smiled and found his way in.
The house looked quite normal outside，but inside it was very exotic with fascinating objects on display.As he began putting them into his bag，a dog came into the room.It stopped when it saw Buster，then wagged its tail madly and went over to him，licking his outstretched hand.
"Good boy，”Buster whispered. “What a great guard dog you are—trying to lick me to death.”
Satisfied he'd made friends with the dog，Bluster began to wander round the house，choosing items to put in his bag.His skilled eye picked out only the best antiques(古董)：a pair of silver candleholders，a silver tea-and-coffee service，etc..His new friend，the dog，sat and watched，as if wondering what was happening.
“Well，boy，”Buster whispered，finally.“That might do.Any more and I won't be able to carry it!”He swung the heavy bag onto his shoulders, just as the lights came on, nearly blinding him. He shielded his eyes with his hand.
"You're a very silly person," the figure(身影) in the doorway said. As the man came closer, Buster could see he was well dressed. His face seemed familiar, but Buster couldn't quite be sure of the place where he had seen him before.
"You should have taken more notice of the sign outside," the man rasped. "I knew about this attempted robbery last week and I also know you will end up behind bars for 20 years. Fancy trying to rob the house of the world's greatest fortune-teller(算命先生)!"

When you are curious about something, and want to know more about it, you can use the way of asking questions. Asking questions is the first step to make discoveries and find interesting answers. The steps below can guide you during the research.
Step 1 On a note card or piece of paper, write down the subject that you are interested in. Just get the main idea down. For example, you might write:
Discover more about dinosaurs.
Step 2 Next, stop and think for a moment about what you already know about your subject. List what you already know like the sentences below:
1. Dinosaurs lived long before human beings appeared.
2. Dinosaurs lived on the earth for more than 150 million years.
3. Some dinosaurs fed on plants, some on meat.
Step 3 What can you do with what you want to learn? By asking questions. On your paper, start writing down questions about the dinosaurs as you think of them:
1. What’s the best weather for dinosaurs to live in?
2. How many kinds of dinosaurs are there?
3. Have dinosaurs really disappeared?
Step 4 Armed with your list of questions, you can now go to the nearest library or computer to begin your research. As you learn more about your subject, you’ll probably discover some new questions.
For example, you might discover that dinosaurs disappeared about 65 million years ago. Why? What happened? Asking new questions can help you research your subject more widely.
The next time you find something interesting to research, take time to organize your thinking by asking good questions. And remember—learning more always bring more questions.
58. When you do some research, you should take the following steps: .
①list what you want to know ②choose a research subject
③list what you already know ④discover new problems

C.
To what degree can a computer achieve intelligence?The answer to this question may lie in a newly-developed US computer program called Smarter Child and the Internet.
If you ran into Smarter Child online, you would be surprised at this kid’s huge memory. It can recite many facts. For example, Smarter Child knows every baseball player in every team this season.
He knows every word in the dictionary and the weather in every major city areas across the US. However, if you ask Smarter Child other questions, you get strange answers. A question about Smarter Child’s age returns. “One year, 11 days, 16 hours, 7 minutes, and 47 seconds!” Asking where he lives gets, “In a clean room in a high-tech building in California.”
Smarter Child uses the vast information on the World Wide Web as his memory bank. To answer questions about spelling, for instance, Smarter Child goes to American Heritage Dictionary online. For the weather, he visits www.intellicast.com.
Some scientists believe that by joining the many systems of the Internet, an artificial being with the combined knowledge of, say, Albert Einstein, Richard Nixon and Britney Spears could be born. However, if Smarter Child wants to think and learn on his own like the boy-computer David in the movie A. I. Artificial Intelligence, he must overcome two problems.
The first is that computers find it difficult to read web pages because the files are labeled in different ways. That’s why programmers need to tell Smarter Child where to look for the weather. It would be a much more difficult task to let him find it himself.
Another problem is that while Smarter Child can process information more exactly and faster than any human, he lacks common sense—a basic grounding of knowledge that is obvious to any young child.
62.From the text we can infer that www.intellicast.com is a website .
A.where we people can find Smarter Child
B.which is specially designed to help Smarter Child
C.where weather forecasts are made
D.which is about artificial intelligence
63.It is probably most difficult for Smarter Child to .
A.learn the ability to tell right behaviors from wrong ones.
B.tell us how to spell a difficult word
C.provide us with a famous poem by Shakespeare
D.tell us how the American government is run
64.The underlined “it ” in Paragraph 6 refers to ________.
A.where to look for the weather B.Smarter Child.
C.a much more difficult task D.to read web pages
65.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.A New Web Child B.Intelligence Development
C.Smarter Child D.The Future of Internet
D
First the ground shook in Haiti, then Chile and Turkey. The earthquakes keep coming hard and fast this year, causing people to wonder if something evil (邪恶的) is happening underfoot. It’s not.
While it may seem as if there are more earthquakes occurring, there really aren’t. The problem is what’s happening above ground, not underground, experts say. More people are moving into big cities that happen to be built in quake zones, and they’re rapidly putting up buildings that can’t withstand (经受) earthquakes, scientists believe. And around-the-clock news coverage (报道) and better earthquake monitoring(监测) make it seem as if earthquakes are ever-present.
“I can definitely tell you that the world is not coming to an end,” said Bob Holdsworth, an expert in tectonics (筑造学) at Durharn University in the UK.
A 7.0 magnitude quake in January killed more than 230,000 people in Haiti. Last month, an 8.8 magnitude quake--- the fifth-strongest since 1900—killed more than 900 people in Chile. And two weeks ago, a 6.0 magnitude quake struck rural eastern Turkey, killing at least 57 people.
On average, there are 134 earthquakes a year that have a magnitude between 6.0 and 6.9, according to the US Geological Survey. This year is off to a fast start with 40 so far—more than in most years for that time period.
But that’s because the 8.8 quake in Chile generated a large number of strong aftershocks, and so many quakes early this year skews (扭曲) the picture, said Paul Earle, a US seismologist (地震学家).
Also, it’s not the number of quakes, but their devastating impacts(破坏性的影响) that gain attention, with the death tolls (死亡人数) largely due to construction standards (building standard) and crowding, Earle added. “The standard mantra (咒语) is earthquakes don’t kill people, buildings do, ” he said.
There have been more deaths over the past decades from earthquakes, said University of Colorado geologist Roger Bilham. In an opinion column last month in the journal Nature, Bilham called for better construction standards in the world’s big cities.
Of the 130 cities worldwide with populations of more than 1 million, more than half are prone (倾向于) to earthquakes, Bilham said.
Developing nations, where populations are growing, don’t pay attention to earthquake preparedness, Bilham said.” If you have a problem feeding yourself, you’re not really going to worry about earthquakes.”
Another reason quakes seem worse is that we’re paying attention more. The Haiti earthquake quickly followed by the 8.8 in Chile made everyone start to think.
But it won’t last, said US disaster researcher Deniis Mileti. “People are paying attention to the violent planet we’ve always lived on,” Mileti said.” Come back in another six months if there has been no earthquakes, most people will have forgotten it again. ”
66. What is the main idea of the article?
A. The number of earthquakes is increasing this year.
B. The reasons why earthquakes are so devastating.
C. The reasons why recent earthquakes have struck large cities.
D. Why earthquakes seem to be more serious this year.
67. Which of the following is NOT a reason for the seeming increase in earthquakes this year，
according to the article?
A. Greater underground activity.
B. A larger number of buildings prone to damage during earthquakes.
C. Around-the-clock news coverage.
D. Better earthquake monitoring.
68. According to the article, it is safe to say that ______.
A. there is an evil force beneath the world’s surface
B. large cities are always built in quake zones
C. enough attention has been paid to reducing the impact of earthquakes
D. the earthquake in Chili caused many aftershocks.
69. According to the article, the greater damage of earthquakes this year can be mainly caused by ______.
A. the occurrence of larger earthquakes
B. not enough warnings about earthquakes
C. poor construction standards and overcrowding
D. an increase in large cities

One possible version,
It is difficult to imagine what life would be like without water. Water is very important to all living things. There would be no life without water.
Water shortage has become a serious problem. One reason for this is that the growing population and the development of industry and agriculture need much more water. Another is that water is being wasted in some areas.
Therefore, measures must be taken to solve this problem. First of all, we must make good use of water and avoid polluting it. In addition, we can get useful water through purifying rain water or sea water.

You want to know about my staying in America, right? Well, to tell you the truth, it is really an eye-opening experience study here.
In China, I had English classes five times a week since fifth grade. However, I didn’t know how different textbook English could be from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School, Connecticut.
When I first studied English, I was told to say, “I am fine.” when people say “How are you?” But in the US, I found that people say, “I am good.” or “I’m tired.”
One day, someone greeted me with “What’s up?” It made me confused. I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didn’t know what to say.
Since then, I have discovered more and more differences between Chinese and US cultures.
To my surprise, US girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun to get a tan. However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler, or “whiter.” I also surprised by how hard-working US students are. In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard and that’s it. But here, a “good” student gets good grades, does a lot for the public and plays sports or music.
The kids here are so talented, I am starting to be sorry that I gave up playing the piano at an early age and that I have never thought about sports.
56. What does the word “tan” in the sixth paragraph mean in Chinese?
A. 晒黑 B. 晒白 C. 能量 D. 保护
57. A good US student spends his/her time ________.
A. only in doing homework
B. only on sports
C. only on music
D. on studies, sports or music and public work
58. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. The writer is now in US.
B. American girls love to have white skin.
C. American girls love to have brown skin.
D.US students are talented and hard-working.
59. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. My Own Travel in the US
B. My Studying in the US
C. My Opinion about the US
D. My Studying in China
B
Are you interested in country music? I like it very much! It will take me away for a while after I am tired .The guitars and songs will take me to mountains and fields.
Country music usually talks of everyday life and feelings. It’s the spirit of America, easy to understand, slow and simple.
Country music developed in the Southern United States. It was the folk music of American countryside. Many of songs tell about the lives of famers .They talk about love, crops or death.
The life of the countryside can be hard, so the words in country music are often sad. At first, people played the music only at family parties. But it became more popular later. In the 1920s, people played country songs on the radio, and they made them into records.
When people in the countryside moved to towns and cities to look for work, they took their music with them. Country music continued to change and became popular across America.
John Denver was one of America’s most famous country singers in the 1970s.His song “Take Me home, Country Roads” is well-known and people still play it today.

Even a child knows that nodding(点头) the head means “Yes”. But some people will probably be puzzled when they first come to India. When they talk to an Indian, he often shakes his head. They might think that the Indian does not like what he said, but on the contrary he is expressing agreement.
The Indians have a habit of shaking their heads slightly when they talk to somebody. It doesn’t mean “No”, but “Yes”.

Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting(永恒的、永久的) happiness. Aristotle (亚里士多德), a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future —for example, getting into college or getting a good job —that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.
Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.

期中考英语试卷答案
作文
As we all know, we are what we eat. Therefore, it’s very important for us to form healthy eating habits. However, bad eating habits are still very common among us students. Some of us often go to school without breakfast;some like to have snacks; some others are particular about food; and still some eat or drink too much. All these bad habits will surly do harm to our health.
To keep fit, we should have various healthy diets, which generally include proper amounts of fish, meat, vegetables, fruits as well as main food. Besides, we’d better have meals regularly.
In my opinion, we should try to develop healthy eating habits to build up a strong body. Only in this way can we have enough energy to study better.
That’s all, Thank you!
