What I noticed first about my new parrot, Chico, was that he couldn’t fly. His wings had been cut short and he was stuck on the 31 just like us humans. When the weather turned nice, I took Chico outside. I sat him on a branch of a tree, hoping to make him 32 . At first he seemed 33 . He walked back and forth on the branch looking anxious or nervous. He didn’t even flap his wings in an attempt to fly. Somehow he knew he was 34 .
One day Chico got especially excited . He paced back and forth and made an incredible amount of 35 . Then all of a sudden he stopped and let out an even louder scream. He started 36 flapping his wings for the first time ever - then he lifted off the 37 like a space shuttle! I was amazed and 38 . Little did I know his feathers had been growing back, and Chico had been 39 until the moment was ripe for escape!
Two days later Chico 40 . First I tried to trick him back with food, but he would not come near me. Then I took his 41 and put it away—still he would not come. Finally, I made him a firm promise that I would let him 42 every day the weather was nice if he did come back. 43 , he flew onto my shoulder.
From that day on, whenever the weather was good I would let him out early and he would fly around and be back before dark. The 44 lasted for two months before suddenly Chico became 45 . The vet said that he had been infected with a disease from the pigeons in the neighborhood. Within a few days he died.
I was very sad. The 46 crossed my mind that if I had not set him free to fly, he would be still alive. But what 47 is there in being a bird if you can’t fly?
Chico made his first break for 48 on a late Monday afternoon in April. When will you make yours? You too can take a 49 when the conditions are right, knowing you too, in your own way, were built to fly. If you don’t 50 , what will be the purpose of your life?

A
For the past two years, 8-year-old Harli Jordean from Stoke Newington, London, has been selling marbles(弹珠). His successful marble company, Marble King, sells all things marble-related - from affordable tubs of the glass playthings to significantly expensive items like Duke of York solitaire tables - sourced, purchased and processed by the mini-CEO himself.
“I like having my own company. I like being the boss,” Harli told the Mirror.
With profits now in the thousands, “the world’s youngest CEO” has had to get his mother and older brothers to help him meet the growing demand.
Harli launched Marble King after swapping marbles at school led to schoolchildren consuming his marble collection. Yes, he literally “lost his marbles.” Harli and his mother, Tina, turned to the Internet to find replacements.
Harli saw an empty space online: the marbles he wanted were hard to find. Within months, Harli had his own marble-selling website - and orders started pouring in.
Tina says her son's attachment to marbles started when he was just 6.
“His attachment became so passionate that we started calling him the Marble King — so when he wanted to set up a website it was the natural name for it,” she told The Sun.
“I never thought it would become so popular - we are struggling to cope with the number of orders at times.”
The 8-year-old boy has his sights set on expanding his business and launching his own brand of marbles.
“Sometimes his ideas are so grand we have to scale them back a bit. But his dream is still to own Britain's biggest marble shop and open stores around the world,” Tina told The Daily Mail.
“At the moment he is annoying me by creating his own Marble King marbles - so that could well be the next step for him.”
51. Harli’s Marble Company became popular as soon as he launched it because ______.
A. it was run by “the world’s youngest CEO” B. it filled the gap of online marble trade
C. Harli was fascinated with marble collection
D. Harli met the growing demand of the customers
52. How many mass media are mentioned in the passage?
A. One B. Two C. Three D. Four
53. The underlined expression “scale them back” is closest in meaning to ______.
A. hold them down B. carry them out C. set them aside D. clear them away
54. What message do the last two paragraphs carry?
A. Conflicts often occur between Harli Jordean and his family.
B. Harli’s mother and brothers are worried about Marble King’s future.
C. Marble King marbles will surely attract more fans around the world.
D. The “Marble King” has great ambition for his Marble King company.

Do American children still learn handwriting in school? In the age of the keyboard, some people seem to think handwriting lessons are on the way out. 90% of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting. But studies have yet to answer the question of how well they are teaching it. One study published this year found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting. Some teachers are teaching handwriting by providing instruction for ten to fifteen minutes a day, and then other teachers who basically teach it for sixty to seventy minutes a day - which really is pretty much for handwriting.
Many adults remember learning that way - by copying letters over and over again. Today’s thinking is that short periods of practice are better. Many experts also think handwriting should not be taught by itself. Instead, they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas. After all, that is why we write.
Handwriting involves two skills. One is legibility, which means forming the letters so they can be read. The other is fluency - writing without having to think about it. Fluency continues to develop up until high school.
But not everyone masters these skills. Teachers commonly report that about one fourth of their kids have poor handwriting. Some people might think handwriting is not important any more because of computers and voice recognition programs.
But Steve Graham at Vanderbilt says word processing is rarely done in elementary school, especially in the early years. American children traditionally first learn to print, and then to write in cursive, which connects the letters. But guess what we learned from a spokeswoman for the College Board, which administers the SAT college admission test. More than 75% of students choose to print their essay on the test rather than write in cursive.
55. We can infer from the first paragraph that ______.
A. teachers spend little time in teaching handwriting.
B. most teachers attach importance to teaching handwriting.
C. handwriting teaching is not commonly required.
D. most teachers are at a loss how to teach handwriting
56. Which of the following about traditional handwriting in the USA is NOT true?
A. The students are taught by practicing a long period.
B. Printing is taught in preference to writing in cursive.
C. Handwriting is taught for its own sake.
D. Two skills get involved in handwriting.
57. Some American people consider handwriting not important any more because ______.
A. all the American children learn to print first
B. about 1/4 of the students choose to print their essay on the test
C. it is unnecessary to use handwriting in the age of keyboard
D. computers and voice recognition programs are widely used
58. ______ may serve as the best title for the passage.
A. Handwriting: fascinating in keyboard age B. Right or wrong: the death of handwriting
C. Two skills involved in handwriting D. Handwriting lessons on the way out
C
Many cities in the world are benefiting from the night activities of a group of people who call themselves guerrilla (游击队) gardeners. Armed with trowels, spades and a van full of flowers and plants, guerrilla gardeners turn abandoned urban land into a blaze of color. In city centre locations where there was mud, weeds and empty plastic bottles, residents often wake up to find that the wasted area has been transformed overnight with brightly-colored bedding plants.
In most British cities, local governments and police turn a blind eye to the effort of the gardeners, whose activities are always carried out under cover of nightfall. And so far, there has been nothing but praise from the astonished and delighted local residents when they find their neighborhood transformed in such a striking fashion.
Not only do the guerrilla gardeners beautify neglected places, they also return regularly to water the plants and weed the flower beds. They also make sure that at least some of the plants they bring are evergreens, which means that the area doesn’t look depressing in the winter months.
The first guerrilla gardener in London was Richard Reynolds, whose day job is at an advertising agency. Mr. Reynolds, a graduate of Oxford University, began his efforts two years ago when he moved to a flat in a tower block in South London. From his balcony, he could see several empty concrete pots, placed by the local governments to contain plants but never used. He went out after midnight and filled the pots with plants, and then planted more flowers in the path leading to the entrance to the block.
He then set up a website to explain his plan and called upon more gardeners to join him. Cash donations flooded in and, more importantly, volunteers rushed to be part of the campaign. Within six months, there were five hundred people in London prepared to come out at very short notice to restore neglected parts of the urban landscape. There are now unofficial but carefully-organized groups in many cities in Britain and North America and there is also a website where would-be urban gardeners can find out the location of the next expedition.
59. These guerrilla gardeners do their work ______.
A. at the request of the government B. nearby their house
C. often in return for others’ help D. out of their own free will
60. Richard Reynolds decided to fill the pots with plants in order to ______.
A. plant more flowers in the path B. beautify the neighborhood
C. attract attention for his ad agency D. make the plants a feast for his eyes
61. The guerrilla gardeners often return to their night working places with the purpose of ______.
A. looking after these plants B. enjoying these beautiful flowers
C. helping plants live through winter months D. changing the varieties of the plants
62. It can be inferred from the text that these guerrilla gardeners ______.
A. are mainly from the United Kingdom B. will later get well paid
C. are still not accepted by the local government D. become more and more organized
D
There are plenty of creams etc on the market that help you look younger, but today, Dr Oz is going to show how some people are actually living longer.
“We are going to talk about extreme life extension,” he says. “I am talking in details about allowing us to go into our second century of life with the energy that you have when you are a young person.”
Owing to advances in technology and research on how diet affect the aging process, Dr Oz says it might be possible for some people to live to see their 120th birthdays.
There’s one man in Oprah’s audience who Dr Oz says may become the first man in history to live to be 150 years old. Joe Cordell is one of thousands around the world who believe they’ve found the key to an extreme long life --- calorie restriction leads to a longer, healthier life.
At 59 Joe weighs 130 pounds. He may not look like a person who needs to count calories, but as part of his life extension program, he inspects every mouth of food that passes through his system.
Every day for the past seven years, Joe has limited himself to about 1,950 calories.
He believes that by eating less and restricting his caloric intake, he will trigger a genetic switch that slows the aging process.
Joe doesn’t take away himself of food. Instead, the then 52-year-old father filled up on natural fruits, vegetables and lean proteins(瘦蛋白) that were packed with necessary vitamins and nutrients. “Whenever you are thinking about calorie restriction, you should continually think about getting the most nutritional amount per calorie,” Joe says.
In keeping with this principle, Joe starts every morning with three apples…but he only eats the peels. “Most of the fiber is in the peel, and more importantly, most of the nutrients are in the peel,” he says.
“It is important to eat some nuts with breakfast so that you do take in some fat, some healthy fats,” he says. “I think it helps the absorption of the nutrients, and it is very filling.”
For lunch, Joe usually eats a large salad, loaded with vegetables. At dinnertime, he and his family enjoy lean meat or fish and more vegetables.
When Joe started practicing calorie restriction, he weighed 175 pounds. Since then, he has lost 45 pounds, and he says he hasn’t had a cold in seven years. Though he is in his “golden years”, researchers studying Joe say he has the body of a 20-year-old athlete.
63. According to Joe, the appropriate fat intake may help ______?
A. people lose weight B. feel always full
C. the absorption of the nutrients D. people to live longer
64. What can we learn about Joe since he started the calorie restriction program?
A. Joe counts the amount of every meal B. Joe has never had a cold
C. Joe eats three apples every morning
D. Joe has a large salad with vegetables for dinner
65. The underlined word “trigger” in paragraph 7 can probably be replaced by ______.
A. turn on B. break down C. take up D. cut off
66. According to the passage, the extreme life extension refers to _______.
A. living very long even sick B. how to make people lead a happy life
C. living long and having a healthy body D. how to arrange our foods every day

The concept of solar power satellites, or SPS, first put forward in the 1960s, is still not widely known by the general public. For example, at many public exhibitions about energy, SPS is not even mentioned. This is mainly because very little money has been spent on SPS research
There are people who claim that SPS is unrealistic - because launch costs are much too high today; or because it is too far away. So why do we believe that it is important to continue to do researches on SPS? The reason is very simple.
Humans are going to need huge amounts of electric power in coming decades. Within 50 years the world population is expected to double, while economic growth will continue around the world, especially in the poorer countries. But existing energy sources already face serious problems. They are limited; they are polluted; they are dangerous. So 50 or 100 years from now, where is our power going to come from? Nobody knows. And so we believe that new large-scale possibilities should be studied further.
We must remember that humans have some choices concerning our future. To some extent we can choose the direction in which our civilization develops. And choices that are made in the coming decades - such as the energy sources that we will or will not use, will have major, long-term meaning for human life on earth. We believe that if research continues to show that SPS is environmentally and economically attractive, SPS will open the door to a much more attractive future for human civilization than any ground-based energy source, and one that the public will support and that young people will find challenging and exciting. Furthermore energy from SPS can be readily used in developing countries, as the SPS 2000 project will show, thus aiding economic development worldwide. In addition, by creating large commercial fund for space engineering, SPS will open the frontier of space to economic development, thus creating a limitless new field for the growth of the world economy.
67. Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?
A. The Future Energy- SPS B. The Concept of SPS
C. Humans and SPS D. Advantages of SPS
68. Which of the following statements about SPS is TRUE?
A. The research on SPS started in the 1960s is still not appreciated by the public.
B. The research is showing SPS can benefit environment and economy at present.
C. The energy from SPS is now being used in some developing countries.
D. The public don’t know about SPS because little time is devoted to the research.
69. Paragraph 3 mainly talks about ______.
A. the present serious energy problems B. where to get energy sources in the future
C. the importance of controlling world population
D. the need to explore new energy sources
70. The writer’s attitude towards the research can best be summarized by the saying “______”.
A. In time of peace prepare for war B. Put the cart before the horse
C. One man’s meat is another man’s poison D. Easier said than done

你不太赞同这种理解。请你用英语给该报编辑写一封信，谈一谈不上大学也有自己的优势，亦可有所作为。
注意：
①无须写标题，不得照抄英语提示语;
②除诗歌外，文体不限;
③开头和结尾已给出，不得再抄写，不计入总词数;
④文中不得透露个人姓名和学校名称;

Dear Sir or Madam,
I appreciate your interest in China’ gaokao. However, as a young man from China, I’m afraid I don’t quite agree with the definition given.
