“Those ten days were filled with challenges that 46 one creative idea after another. Nine days

PART THREE READING COMPREHENSION (30 points)
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or
unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the
one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.
A
A young boy was sitting in the back seat of the car eating an apple. He asked his father, “Why does
my apple turn brown?” his father answered, “When the skin is removed, air reaches the flesh of the
apple and causes oxidation (氧化). This changes the apple’s molecular(分子的) structure and results
in a brownish color.” The boy asked, “ Daddy, what are you talking about?”
I know how that boy feels. Sometimes I want answers to some of those confusing questions that we
all meet with, such as how to get through difficult times or what to do in a tough situation. I just
want to get it right.
The problem is that I don’t always have the answer I need. Nobody else seems to have them, either.
So I go on making mistakes and think that I’ll never get it right.
Often I didn’t know what to do. I often made poor choices, but I gradually improved. Then I realized
that I don’t HAVE TO always get it right. I don’t have to always know what to do all the time. All I
really need to do is try my best, learn from my mistakes and go on.
Dr. Leo Buscaglia once said, “ No one gets out of this world alive, so the time to live, learn, care,
share, celebrate and love is now. That would be pretty hard to do when you’re waiting for all the
answers first.”
So you got it wrong. You made a mistake. So what should you do next? Forgive yourself and try
again. You may not get out of this world alive, but you can get plenty of life out of this world if you
are not too worried about always getting it right.
56. In the beginning, the author tells the story of a boy and his father to ____.
A. show that the father is very knowledgeable
B. say something interesting about apples

B
Throughout the history of the arts，the nature of creativity has remained constant to artists. No
matter what objects they select， artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change—to
find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before.
Landscape（风景）is another unchanging element of art. It can be found from ancient times
through the 17th-century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists. In the
one
1970s Alfred Leslie， of the new American realists， continued this practice. Leslie sought out the
same place where Thomas Cole, a romanticist, had produced paintings of the same scene a century
and a half before. Unlike Cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in
nature， Leslie paints what he actually sees. In his paintings，there is no particular change in motion，
and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background. He also takes advantage of the
latest developments of color photography（摄影术）to help both the eye and the memory when he
improves his painting back in his workroom.
Besides，all art begs the age-old question：What is real？Each generation of artists has shown
their understanding of reality in one form or another. The impressionists saw reality in brief
emotional effects，the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes，and the Cro-Magnon cave
people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests. To sum up, understanding
reality is a necessary struggle for Artists of all periods.
Over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constant. Past or present，
the
Eastern or Western， arts are a basic part of our immediate experience. Many and different are the
faces of art，and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings.
61. The underlined word “poetry” most probably means______________.
A. an object for artistic creation B. a collection of poems
C. an unusual quality D. a natural scene
62. Leslie’s paintings are extraordinary because______________.21 世纪教育网
A. they are close in style to works in ancient times
B. they look like works by 19th-century painters
C. they draw attention to common things in life
D. they depend heavily on color photography
63. What is the author’s opinion of art really？______________.
A. It will not be found in future works of art.
B. It does not have a long-lasting standard.
C. It is expressed in a fixed artistic form.
D. It is lacking in modern works of art.
64. What does the author suggest about the arts in the last paragraph？

A. They express people’s curiosity about the past.
B. They make people interested in everyday experience.

It’s become acceptable for people to say that women work less than men and therefore deserve less!
It may have been true in the past when women were expected to stay at home and look after children,
but women have changed over the years. They have “come out”! Gone are the days when they
worked very hard at the kitchen stove all day long; they are now aware of their needs and are willing
to fight for them. They expect to be given the respect they deserve, both at home and at work. They
have realized their intellectual potential and have determined to do something with it!
Women on two wheels have become a familiar sight on the roads of most Asian countries
during the past few years. It is common to find a woman who takes her children on her bicycle to
school and then reaches her office in time. It would have been unimaginable a few years ago! She
has become a major part of family decisions in every aspect and how those decisions are carried out.
“Super woman” though she is, it is rather difficult to combine a career and a decent (相当好
的) home life. She needs to feel supported and satisfied. She may arrive at work feeling as if she has
already done a full day’s work. If colleagues doubt her commitment to her job, she would feel sad.
At the same time, the women of today expect their husbands to contribute towards childcare and
household chores.
Today’s women are learning to avoid situations that make them feel more stressed and it is a
hard struggle. Despite all this, the new woman, “the Superpower” has arrived. She still believes in
the power and value of a family unit and she holds it in high esteem(尊重).
66. What is the passage mainly about?21 世纪教育网
A. A woman’s opinion on her job and family.
B. The burden women in society have to bear.
C. The change of women’s status in and out of the family.
D. The responsibility of a couple in the family.
67. Which of the following devices (手法) is used in the first paragraph?
A. Comparisons. B. Examples. C. Numbers. D. Definitions.
68. Using the example in the second paragraph, the author wants to show that______.
A. women were not seen on streets in the past
B. women feel more stressed than before
C. today’s women don’t need to work in the kitchen
D. women take more responsibilities for the family
69. According to the passage , as a “super woman”, she ________.
A. can do all the housework by herself
B. can deal with her work easily every day
C. is independent in every aspect of her life
D. still finds it difficult to balance her career and family
70. Why is the phrase “come out” in quotation mark in the first paragraph?

北京高考门户网站 www.beijinggaokao.com 电话：010-62754468
A. Because women are still controlled by their husbands.
B. It means more than that she has come out of the house.
C. It means that women are not actually coming out.
D. Because women have broken up with their families.
PART FOUR WRITING (45 points)
Section A (10 points)
Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information
given in the passage and required words limit.
These days, the word “emo” is used in the US for a range of different kinds of people, from those
who are depressed to those who have long hair. If you prefer to keep things to yourself, this isn’t
called “ being shy” any more; it’s called being an “emo”. If you often wear dark colors---such as
black---instead of bright or happy ones, you’re in an “emo” way. If you’re male and have long hair,
you’re an “emo”. This one word seems to cover all sorts of different personalities, styles and ways of
behaving.
Why does this word have such a vast range of meanings? How was it even made up? Well, “emo” is
short for “emotional”, so obviously it was originally meant to describe over-emotional people. Yet
somehow it came to take on meaning that seem to be quite remote from this one. I like to wear black
a lot, for reasons of personal taste, not because I have any problems. I also have long, naturally dark
hair. It’s long just because I prefer long hair, and I am in a band. Also, I’m not a very talkative
person, because most of the time I’m occupied with writing songs, or something along those lines. In
any case, all of this has caused people to start calling me an “emo”.
Let me tell you what I think a real “emo” is, however. I think an “emo” is somebody who is
constantly depressed, and always lets other people see his sadness or other negative feelings. I’m just
tired of people who aren’t really “emo” being called that just because of their appearances, and not
based on any knowledge of what they’re really like.
71. What will people say if you often wear dark colors? (No more than 4 words)
____________________________________________.
72. Which would be the best title for this passage? (No more than 6 words )
____________________________________________.
73. Why may a man with long hair not be an “emo”? （No more than 15 words）

74. In the author’s opinion, what kind of person is a real “emo” ? （No more than 12 words）

There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have
generally viewed personal growth as an external (外在的) result or a product that can easily be

identified and measured. The worker who gets a rise, the student whose grades improve, the
foreigner who learns a new language---all these examples of people who have measurable results to
show for their efforts.
By contrast (对照), the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine,
since it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way. The process is not the
road itself, but the attitudes, feeling people have, and their caution or courage, as they meet with new
experiences and unexpected difficulties. In this process, the journey never really ends; there are
always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept.
In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to face
the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first. How we see ourselves as we
try a new way of being is necessary for our ability to grow. Do we see ourselves as quick and
curious? If so, we tend to take more chances and be more open to unfamiliar experiences. Do we
think we’re shy and indecisive? Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and
we think we are slow to adapt change or that we’re not smart enough to deal with a new challenge.
Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all.
These feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to
change and grow. If we protect ourselves too much, then we stop growing. We become trapped
inside a shell of our own making.
75._______----Product or Process
76.________----easily identified and measured
Examples:
·The workers 77._______________
·The students 78._______________
·The foreigners learning new languages
Process---much more difficult to determine and 79._____________
The process is

One possible version:
Now with people’s living standard rising sharply, more and more parents are sending their young
children overseas for further study, even when their children are still very young. The advantages
can be concluded as follows. To begin with, their children can receive a better education and develop
a high level of competence in language learning skills. In addition, they can also seek more career
opportunities and make more money in the future.
But many people, especially some educationalists and parents, are not in favor of this, because they
think studying abroad costs over ten times as much money as studying in China. Besides, children
are too young to take care of themselves. What’s more, they might form bad habits.
In my opinion, when the children are old enough and have the ability to live on their own, they can
go abroad for further study, otherwise, they’d better study in our own country.
