Some even win local talent competitions as children, but only a few such early successes and dreams turn into reality. Jessica Andrews is one of the few whose dreams have come true. Andrews’ first taste of success came at the age of 10. She won a talent competition in her home town ofHuntingdon,Tennessee, singingI Will Always Love You, originally sung by Whitney Houston.Houston’s version of the song appeared onThe Bodyguardsound track, which happened to be the first album Andrews ever bought. Within two years, talk of Andrews had spread toNashvilleand caught the attention of producer Byron Gallimore, whose credits include work with Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, and Jo Dee Messina. With Gallimore signed on to produce, Andrews soon had a recording contract（合同）with Dream Works’ Nashville label. Andrews’ professional career waslaunchedwith1999’sHeart Shaped World, recorded when she was 14 years old. The album included the country hitI Will Be There For You, which also appeared onThe Prince OfEgypt.She followed up the release of the album by touring as a support act for such country superstars as Faith Hill and Trisha Yearwood. With the release of2001’sWho I Am, Andrews became a star in her own right. The album was certified（证明）gold for sales of 500,000 copies. Andrews returned in April 2003 withNow, an album that she promised would show a new side of the young artist. “This album has a very different feeling for me,” she said. “It’s a lot more personal and there’s a confidence that wasn’t quite there on the first two. I feel especially connected to this group of songs.” 56. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “launched” in the fourth paragraph? A. Aimed. B. Sent. C. Started. D. Set. 57. Which of the following statements is WRONG according to the passage? A.The Bodyguardwas the first album Andrews ever bought. B. After Andrews sangWho I Am, she became a star in her own right. C.I Will Always Love Youwas originally sung by Whitney Houston. D.Nowexpresses a new feeling of Andrews. 58. Which of the following may NOT be Andrews’ album? A.Now. B.Heart Shaped World. C.The Prince ofEgypt. D.Who I Am. 59. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A. Jessica Andrews’ Life B. Jessica Andrews’ Dream C. Jessica Andrews’ Songs D. Jessica Andrews’ Success as a Singer B The brightest object in the evening sky after the sun and the moon isn’t a star, but a planet. It’s Venus, our closest neighbor and the second planet from the sun. Venus is so bright that you can see it both at night and in the early morning. This caused some confusion for ancient Egyptian（埃及的）and Greek（希腊的）star observers. Because they saw Venus at two different times, they thought it was two different planets. What makes Venus so bright? Huge clouds, 20 miles thick, completely surround it and reflect 75% of the light from the sun that strike them. For a long time, these clouds caused Venus to be a great mystery（谜）to the world’s astronomers. If, like other clouds, the ones on Venus were made up of water vapors（水汽）, could there not be life hiding beneath them on the planet? Were there “Venusians（金星人）” waiting to communicate with us on Earth? It was an exciting thought, but on that the Mariner recently landed to rest.The Mariner thoroughly examined Venus and its atmosphere, only to find that the cloud cover was made mostly of deadly carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) gas. The atmospheric pressure was 15 to 22 times greater than on Earth, which further disproved the theory of life on Venus. And what did the Mariner find under the clouds? A world of great mountains and smooth areas, dry as a bone. The temperature is about900°F. That’s hot. Although the greatest mystery has been solved, there are still others waiting for us on Venus. Why does Venus rotate（自转）so slowly? What is the inside of Venus like? And most important of all, why is there no water on Venus? If, as it was thought, it was formed about the same time as our planet, it should have water. These questions and others may some day be answered. Until then, Venus will continue to be the brightest mystery in the sky. 60. Venus is very bright because________. A. the clouds surrounding it take in 75% of the sunlight striking them B. the clouds surrounding it throw back 3/4 of the sunlight striking them C. 75% of the clouds surrounding it are made up of water vapor D. 3/4 of the clouds surrounding it are made up of carbon dioxide gas 61. “The Mariner” is probably the name of _________. A. an astronomer B. a planet C. a star D. a spaceship 62. From the passage we can tell that _____. A. astronomers still wonder whether Venus is as old as the Earth B. Venusians are trying to get in touch with us on Earth C. there are many volcanoes and other natural wonders on Venus D. whether there is life on Venus is still a question 63. What section of a newspaper is the passage probably taken from? A. Scientific Technology B. Science Fictions C. Brief News D. Science & Discovery C Read these unusual news articles.
64. A Swiss school teacher _________. A. went back to school happily after his retirement B. lost his job because he was not young C. was asked to attend school because of a computer mistake D. was ready to have further education 65. 15,000 pairs of trousers were _________.

A. liked firing guns B. wanted to die in a gun fight C. kept his ashes in a gun box D. wanted his ashes to be fired from a gun 67. What can we learn according to the above news? A. Married couples inFranceworry about money. B. American families use more toilet paper now. C. Queen Elizabeth II has some naughty pet dogs. D. Bugs Bunny will be protected in the coming films. D Bad teeth can be painful—and worse. They can even be deadly. Infections（感染）of the gums（牙龈）and the teeth can cause bacteria（细菌）to go into the blood system. Those bacteria can increase the chance of a heart attack and worsen the effects of other diseases. And adults are not the only ones at risk. For example, in 2007, doctors in theWashingtonarea said a boy died when a tooth infection spread to his brain. They said it might have been prevented had he received the dental care (牙齿保健) he needed. He was twelve years old. Experts at the National Institutes of Health say good dental care starts at birth. Breast milk, they say, is the best food for the healthy development of teeth. Breast milk can help slow the growth of bacteria and acid production in the mouth. But dentists say a baby’s gums and early teeth should be cleaned after each feeding. Use a cloth with a little warm water. Do the same if a baby is fed with a bottle. Experts say if you decide to put your baby to sleep with a bottle, only give the child water. When baby teeth begin to appear, you can clean them with a wet toothbrush. Dentists say it is important to find soft toothbrushes made especially for babies and to use them very gently. The use of fluoride（氟化物）to protect teeth is common in many parts of the world. For example, it is often added to drinking water supplies. The fluoride mixes with enamel（珐琅质）, the hard surface on teeth, to help prevent holes from forming. 68. Which of the following can be used as the title of the passage? A. Concerns for Healthy Teeth of the Young B. Importance of Healthy Teeth of All C. Causes of Teeth Problem D. Solutions to Teeth Problem 69. What’s the main idea of paragraph 4 and 5? A. How to develop babies’ teeth. B. Why to protect babies’ teeth C. How to keep babies’ teeth clean D. Why to keep babies’ teeth clean 70. The passage indicates that ________. A. Enamel is most widely used to protect teeth in the world B. Bad teeth may affect the health of adults and the young C. Breast milk can cure babies’ bad teeth D. Babies’ teeth should be brushed once per day 71. The writer uses the boy’s death as an example to show that ______. A. not only adults but the young may suffer from teeth problem B. babies with bad teeth can easily die C. the doctors should be responsible for the case D. the boy was not fed with his breast milk E For my grandmother’s 70th birthday, my family and I visitedSouth Korea. While there, I was attentive to Korean high schools and students. I was surprised by how differentKorea’s public high schools are fromAmerica’s. Korean high schools can be all-girls, all-boys or co-ed（男女同校的）unlike our standard co-ed high schools. There are three grades: “go 1” (10th), “go 2” (11th) and “go3”(12th). “Go” is the first syllable of the word “go-deung -hakkyo”，which, simply translated, is “high school”. InAmerica, unless you want to go to a private school, you don’t have to take an entrance exam. InKorea, however, students must take a test to get in because of the many choices of schools. Another difference I couldn’t help but notice was the students’ appearance. With very few exceptions, all wear uniforms. A name tag（标牌）with the student’s name, grade and homeroom number must also be worn. Girl’s skirts can’t be above the upper part of the knee, and it is forbidden to dye（染）your hair or wear accessories（装饰品）except small earrings. There are strict regulations for appearance to achieve neatness, and it seems the only freedom students have is with their choices of hair style, socks and shoes. The final difference was thesetupof the classes. There may be 40 students in a classroom, but the number can be less or even more, depending on the population of the town or city. Although there are many students per classroom, they are very close, which I think is a result of not changing classrooms for different subjects. There are no levels in the subjects and the teachers are the ones who switch classrooms. They just have ten-minute breaks between subjects. In each class, students are ranked by their grades. This causes strict competition, and Korean students do a lot of studying. To help them, all schools have extra study classes after school. One other fact that helped me appreciate living inAmericais that Koreans have school on Saturdays. Although it’s only a half day, I think I speak for most Americans when I say we could never imagine ourselves in school on a Saturday. Korea’s public high schools are clearly different fromAmerica’s. I had imagined them to be just like our schools, but now I have a clear picture of how different they are. 72. How many main differences are mentioned betweenKorea’s public high school andAmerica’s? A. 3. B. 4. C. 5. D. 6. 73. It seems that the writer ________. A. is familiar with the education system of high schools inKorea B. is fond of Korean students’ appearance C. prefers the high school life ofAmericato the one ofKorea D. feels it common to have lessons on weekends 74. What does the underlined word “setup” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Arrangement. B. Size. C. Number. D. Outline. 75. According to the rules, the students ofKoreacan ________. A. go to different high schools without exams B. wear any clothes except uniforms at school C. attend different classes as they like D. have different hair styles
第二卷（非选择题 共35分）
第四部分写作（共两节，满分35分） 第一节任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。（注意：每个空格只填1个单词。） A serious problem for today’s society is who should be responsible for our elderly and how to improve their lives. It is not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want for our society. I would like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem. First, employers should take the responsibility for their retired employees. To make this possible, a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose. But when a company must take life-long responsibility for its employees, it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs. Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual（个人）. This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement. This does not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years. This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor. In addition, the government could take responsibility for the care of the elderly. This could be financed through government taxes to increase the level of pensions（养老金）. Furthermore, some institutions（社会福利机构）should be created for senior citizens, which can help provide a comfortable life for them. Unfortunately, as the present situation in our country shows, this is not a truly practical answer. The government can seldom afford to care for the elderly, particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young. One further solution is that the government or social organizations set up some working places especially for the elderly where they are independent. To sum up, all these measures have advantages and disadvantages．Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that some combination of these measures may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations.
