An old story tells of an unhappy stonecutter (石匠). One day he 16a merchant and was astonished by all of the marvelous goods the man had 17 . “I wish I were a merchant,” said the stonecutter and, quite 18 , his wish was granted.
Not long 19he saw a parade (游行队伍) pass his little shop. Spying a prince 20in such splendor (华丽) 21he had never seen before, he said, “ I wish I were a prince.” And he became one.
But it wasn’t too many days later that he stepped outside and felt the discomfort of the hot summer sun beating down upon his head. “22a prince cannot stay cool in the sun,” he said. “I wish I were the sun.” This wish, 23 , was granted.
He was happy being the sun 24 , one day, a cloud came between him and the earth. “That cloud overshadows me,” he said. “I wish I were a cloud.”25 , his wish was granted and he was happy until he came to mountain that he could not 26above. “This mountain is 27than I,” he said. “I wish I were a mountain.”
As a tall and mighty mountain he looked down upon the affairs of humans and felt that he was finally happy. But one day a 28climbed up his side and chipped away at rock and there was 29he could do about it. “That little man is more 30than I,” the mountain said.” I wish I were a stonecutter.”
So the circle was 31and now the stonecutter knew that he would always be happy just being himself. He 32never dress like a prince, shine like the sun, nor rise as tall as a mountain, but he was happy to be who he was.
A sure way to 33is to compare yourself to others. 34someone aptly said, “the grass may be greener on the other side of the fence, but it still has to be mowed (修剪).” You are who you are and that is to be 35 .

London, Reuters—What could annoy teenagers enough to make them stop hanging out with friends and go home? No, it’s not a visit from their mothers, and not a threat to take away their cell phones or pocket money.
It’s highfrequency noise. The UK police recently agreed to use a device (装置) called the Sonic Teenager Deterrent. It sends out a sound that makes teenagers become so impatient and angry that they have to cover their ears tightly and walk away.
The sound is at extreme highpitch that can be heard by those under 20. The body’s natural ability to detect some wave bands (波段) decreases almost entirely after 20, so few adults can hear the sounds. The blackbox device, nicknamed the Mosquito because of its sound, can be fixed to the outside walls of shops, offices and homes. It sounds to youngsters like a crazy insect or a badly played violin. But it causes no physical damage.
A number of police forces and councils have given permission to use the system and want to install it at trouble spots.
Staffordshire Police Inspector Amanda Davies, who has given the device to shopkeepers in the Moorlands area, said,“It is controlled by the shopkeepers—if they can see through their window that there is a problem, they turn the device on for a while until the group has run away.”
36. The device can be used to .
A. threaten teenagers in public
B. drive away troublemakers under 20
C. help mothers control their teenage children
D. help the police control shopkeepers
37. From the passage we can know that .
A. young people often suffer from pains in ears
B. shopkeepers are troubled by noisy insects
C. highfrequency noise is beyond the listening ability of people’ over 20
D. the police invented a new device to deal with teenagers
38. The purpose of the writer to write the passage is .
A. to advertise a new hitech device
B. to tell the reader a piece of news
C. to sell the device to shopkeepers
D. to inform the public as the spokesman of the police
39. Who will welcome the device most?
A. Shopkeepers
B. The police
C. Young people
D. The producer.

If you want to teach your children how to say sorry, you must be good at saying it yourself, especially to your own children. But how you say it can be quite tricky.
If you say to your children, “I’m sorry I got angry with you, but...”, what follows that “but” can make the apology ineffective: “I had a bad day” or “your noise was giving me a headache” leaves the child who has been injured feeling that he should be apologizing for his bad behavior.
Another method by which people appear to apologize without actually doing so is to say “I’m sorry you’re upset”; this suggests that you are somehow at fault for allowing yourself to get upset by what the other person has done.
These pseudo (虚假的)apologies are used by people who believe saying sorry shows weakness. Parents who wish to teach their children to apologize should see it as a sign of strength, and therefore not turn to these pseudoapologies.
But even when presented with examples of true regret, children still need help to become aware of how difficult it is to say sorry. A threeyearold might need help in understanding that other children feel pain just as he does, and that hitting a playmate over the head with a heavy toy requires an apology. A sixyearold might need reminding that spoiling other children’s expectations can require an apology. A 12yearold might need to be shown that taking away the biscuit tin without asking permission is acceptable, but that borrowing a parent’s clothes without permission is not.
40. If a mother adds “but” to an apology, .
A. the child may find the apology easier to accept
B. the child may feel that he should apologize to his mother
C. she does not realize that the child has been hurt
D. she doesn’t feel that she should have apologized
41. According to the author, saying “I’m sorry you’re upset.” most probably means .
A. You have good reason to get upset
B. I apologize for hurting your feelings
C. I’m wrong for making you upset
D. I know you’re upset, but I’m not to blame
42. We learn from the last paragraph that in teaching children to say sorry .
A. their ages should be taken into consideration
B. parents should be patient and tolerant
C. parents need to set them a good example
D. the difficulties involved should be taken no notice of
43. It can be inferred from the passage that apologizing properly is .
A. not necessary among family members
B. a sign of social progress
C. not as simple as it seems
D. a matter calling for immediate attention
C
At present, there are five network firms—China Telecom, China Unicom, Jitong Communications, China Netcom and China Mobile —that are allowed to operate IP services in China. Each company has its advantages in service.

China Mobile’s IP card is open to only six cities nationwide but can access more than 200 countries and regions worldwide.

If you ask people to name the one person who had the greatest effect on the English language, you will get answers like “Shakespeare,” “Samuel Johnson,” and “Webster,” but none of these men had any effect at all compared to a man who didn’t even speak English—William the Conqueror.
Before 1066, in the land we now call Great Britain lived peoples belonging to two major language groups. In the westcentral region lived the Welsh, who spoke a Celtic language, and in the north lived the Scots, whose language, though not the same as Welsh, was also Celtic. In the rest of the country lived the Saxons, actually a mixture of Angles, Saxons, and other Germanic and Nordic peoples, who spoke what we now call AngloSaxon (or Old English), a Germanic language. If this state of affairs had lasted, English today would be close to German.
But this state of affairs did not last. In 1066 the Normans led by William defeated the Saxons and began their rule over England. For about a century, French became the official language of England while old English became the language of peasants. As a result, English words of politics and the law come from French rather than German. In some cases, modern English even shows a distinction (区别) between upperclass French and lowerclass AngloSaxon in its words. We even have different words for some foods, meat in particular, depending on whether it is still out in the fields or at home ready to be cooked, which shows the fact that the Saxon peasants were doing the farming, while the upperclass Normans were doing most of the eating.
When Americans visit Europe for the first time, they usually find Germany more “foreign” than France because the German they see on signs and advertisements seems much more different from English than French does. Few realize that the English language is actually Germanic in its beginning and that the French influences are all the result of one man’ s ambition.
48. The two major languages spoken in what is now called Great Britain before 1066 were .
A. Welsh and Scottish
B. Nordic and Germanic
C. Celtic and Old English
D. AngloSaxon and Germanic
49. Which of the following groups of words are, by inference, rooted in French?
A. president, lawyer, beef
B. president, bread, cow
C. bread, field, sheep
D. folk, field, cow
50. Why does France appear less foreign than Germany to Americans on their first visit to Europe?
A. [JP3]Most advertisements in France appear in English.
B. They know little of the history of the English language.
C. Many French words are similar to English ones.
D. They know French better than German.

40. B。从文章第二段“I had a bad day”or “your noise was giving me a headache”leaves the child who has been injured feeling that he should be apologizing for his bad behavior.可以得知,如果父母在向孩子道歉的时候说“But ...”就意味着父母的意思是犯错误的孩子应该为他们的行为向父母道歉。
41. D。从整句话Another method by which people appear to apologize without actually doing so is to say“I’m sorry you’re upset”可以得知,这是另外一种看起来像是在道歉其实没有在道歉的方式。
42. A。文章最后一段讲到3岁、6岁、12岁的孩子应该需要想什么样的帮助让他们意识到向别人说道歉回邮多难, 可见在让孩子学会向别人说道歉的时候孩子的年龄应该考虑在内。

48-50 CAC
48. C。从文章第二段可以得知在公元1066年之前英国主要讲Celtic和AngloSaxon两种语言,AngloSaxon也被称为Old English。
49. A。此题为推断题,从文章第三段“As a result, English words of politics and the law come from French rather than German”以及“which shows the fact that the Saxon peasants were doing the farming, while the upperclass Normans were doing most of the eating.”可以推断出关于政治、法律的词汇应该是英国上层社会讲的法语单词,关于“farming”的单词应该是下层农民讲的单词,所以不是法语单词,关于“eating”的单词应该是上层社会讲的单词,所以应该是法语单词。依据以上分析,可知答案应该选A项。
50. C。从文章最后一段“When Americans visit Europe for the first time, they usually find Germany more “foreign” than France because the German they see on signs and advertisements seems much more different from English than French does.”可以推断出答案选C项。
四、书面表达
Great changes have taken place since the foundation of our motherland 60 years ago. On the one hand, we used to live in bad condition and led a hard life. However, now most families have moved into new broad houses. On the other hand, having cars is no longer a dream for many families. Now it is much more convenient for us to go out.
What’s more, the 29th Olympic Games were hosted successfully in our country. That is what we Chinese all take pride in. In addition, what greatly inspired us was that the Shenzhou Ⅶ was sent into space smoothly, showing that great achievements have been achieved in our country.
On my part, I firmly believe that our motherland will become far stronger and richer. What we should do next is to work harder so as to make contributions to our country in the future. Let’s work hard together to build a more beautiful China.

London, Reuters—What could annoy teenagers enough to make them stop hanging out with friends and go home? No, it’s not a visit from their mothers, and not a threat to take away their cell phones or pocket money.
It’s highfrequency noise. The UK police recently agreed to use a device (装置) called the Sonic Teenager Deterrent. It sends out a sound that makes teenagers become so impatient and angry that they have to cover their ears tightly and walk away.
The sound is at extreme highpitch that can be heard by those under 20. The body’s natural ability to detect some wave bands (波段) decreases almost entirely after 20, so few adults can hear the sounds. The blackbox device, nicknamed the Mosquito because of its sound, can be fixed to the outside walls of shops, offices and homes. It sounds to youngsters like a crazy insect or a badly played violin. But it causes no physical damage.
A number of police forces and councils have given permission to use the system and want to install it at trouble spots.
Staffordshire Police Inspector Amanda Davies, who has given the device to shopkeepers in the Moorlands area, said,“It is controlled by the shopkeepers—if they can see through their window that there is a problem, they turn the device on for a while until the group has run away.”
36. The device can be used to .
A. threaten teenagers in public
B. drive away troublemakers under 20
C. help mothers control their teenage children
D. help the police control shopkeepers
37. From the passage we can know that .
A. young people often suffer from pains in ears
B. shopkeepers are troubled by noisy insects
C. highfrequency noise is beyond the listening ability of people’ over 20
D. the police invented a new device to deal with teenagers
38. The purpose of the writer to write the passage is .
A. to advertise a new hitech device
B. to tell the reader a piece of news
C. to sell the device to shopkeepers
D. to inform the public as the spokesman of the police
39. Who will welcome the device most?
A. Shopkeepers
B. The police
C. Young people
D. The producer.

If you want to teach your children how to say sorry, you must be good at saying it yourself, especially to your own children. But how you say it can be quite tricky.
If you say to your children, “I’m sorry I got angry with you, but...”, what follows that “but” can make the apology ineffective: “I had a bad day” or “your noise was giving me a headache” leaves the child who has been injured feeling that he should be apologizing for his bad behavior.
Another method by which people appear to apologize without actually doing so is to say “I’m sorry you’re upset”; this suggests that you are somehow at fault for allowing yourself to get upset by what the other person has done.
These pseudo (虚假的)apologies are used by people who believe saying sorry shows weakness. Parents who wish to teach their children to apologize should see it as a sign of strength, and therefore not turn to these pseudoapologies.
But even when presented with examples of true regret, children still need help to become aware of how difficult it is to say sorry. A threeyearold might need help in understanding that other children feel pain just as he does, and that hitting a playmate over the head with a heavy toy requires an apology. A sixyearold might need reminding that spoiling other children’s expectations can require an apology. A 12yearold might need to be shown that taking away the biscuit tin without asking permission is acceptable, but that borrowing a parent’s clothes without permission is not.
40. If a mother adds “but” to an apology, .
A. the child may find the apology easier to accept
B. the child may feel that he should apologize to his mother
C. she does not realize that the child has been hurt
D. she doesn’t feel that she should have apologized
41. According to the author, saying “I’m sorry you’re upset.” most probably means .
A. You have good reason to get upset
B. I apologize for hurting your feelings
C. I’m wrong for making you upset
D. I know you’re upset, but I’m not to blame
42. We learn from the last paragraph that in teaching children to say sorry .
A. their ages should be taken into consideration
B. parents should be patient and tolerant
C. parents need to set them a good example
D. the difficulties involved should be taken no notice of
43. It can be inferred from the passage that apologizing properly is .
A. not necessary among family members
B. a sign of social progress
C. not as simple as it seems
D. a matter calling for immediate attention
C

If you ask people to name the one person who had the greatest effect on the English language, you will get answers like “Shakespeare,” “Samuel Johnson,” and “Webster,” but none of these men had any effect at all compared to a man who didn’t even speak English—William the Conqueror.
Before 1066, in the land we now call Great Britain lived peoples belonging to two major language groups. In the westcentral region lived the Welsh, who spoke a Celtic language, and in the north lived the Scots, whose language, though not the same as Welsh, was also Celtic. In the rest of the country lived the Saxons, actually a mixture of Angles, Saxons, and other Germanic and Nordic peoples, who spoke what we now call AngloSaxon (or Old English), a Germanic language. If this state of affairs had lasted, English today would be close to German.
But this state of affairs did not last. In 1066 the Normans led by William defeated the Saxons and began their rule over England. For about a century, French became the official language of England while old English became the language of peasants. As a result, English words of politics and the law come from French rather than German. In some cases, modern English even shows a distinction (区别) between upperclass French and lowerclass AngloSaxon in its words. We even have different words for some foods, meat in particular, depending on whether it is still out in the fields or at home ready to be cooked, which shows the fact that the Saxon peasants were doing the farming, while the upperclass Normans were doing most of the eating.
When Americans visit Europe for the first time, they usually find Germany more “foreign” than France because the German they see on signs and advertisements seems much more different from English than French does. Few realize that the English language is actually Germanic in its beginning and that the French influences are all the result of one man’ s ambition.
48. The two major languages spoken in what is now called Great Britain before 1066 were .
A. Welsh and Scottish
B. Nordic and Germanic
C. Celtic and Old English
D. AngloSaxon and Germanic
49. Which of the following groups of words are, by inference, rooted in French?
A. president, lawyer, beef
B. president, bread, cow
C. bread, field, sheep
D. folk, field, cow
50. Why does France appear less foreign than Germany to Americans on their first visit to Europe?
A. [JP3]Most advertisements in France appear in English.
B. They know little of the history of the English language.
C. Many French words are similar to English ones.
D. They know French better than German.

Great changes have taken place since the foundation of our motherland 60 years ago. On the one hand, we used to live in bad condition and led a hard life. However, now most families have moved into new broad houses. On the other hand, having cars is no longer a dream for many families. Now it is much more convenient for us to go out.
What’s more, the 29th Olympic Games were hosted successfully in our country. That is what we Chinese all take pride in. In addition, what greatly inspired us was that the Shenzhou Ⅶ was sent into space smoothly, showing that great achievements have been achieved in our country.
On my part, I firmly believe that our motherland will become far stronger and richer. What we should do next is to work harder so as to make contributions to our country in the future. Let’s work hard together to build a more beautiful China.
