His father was a lawyer, but a poor one, who lived at Florida, Missouri. The family
16、was so poor that Samuel did not receive much teaching. He had to learn all that he could from the people whom he met. His father died when he was very young, and then there was even less money than before. Many of the men in this part of America worked in the ships on the great River Mississippi, an
17、d he did this himself at one time (1857). Where did he find the name “Mark Twain“? It came from the great river itself. It was part of one of the cries used by men who worked in the ships. When a man called “By the mark twain!“ he meant that the river was “two marks deep“ there, that is to say, six
18、feet deep ( “Twain“ is an old form of the work “Two“.) Samuel Clemens often heard these words when he was young, and he used them as a penname all his life. During his work on the Mississippi he met travelers of all kinds, and this helped him a great deal when he started to write. But the number of
19、travelers became smaller when war started in America in 1861. Many of the great ships on the river stopped work. Samuel left then and went to Nevada with his brother, who was at that time Governor of Nevada. There, near the town of Carson, Samuel became a gold miner, but he never made much money at
20、the time. He soon saw that life in the gold mines was not for him. He also tried writing for the newspapers in Nevada, and this seemed more hopeful. He found that he could write. He went to Europe in 1867 and visited France and Italy. In 1870 he married Olivia Langdon, and two years later he was spe
21、nding nearly all his time writing. Among his books is his own story (1908). He is now always known as Mark Twain, and many people do not even know that his family name was Clemens. He traveled in America and in England, and went to Oxford in 1907. He was one of the great American writers of the time
22、, and could make his readers laugh a thing which few writers can do. He died in 1910. 36. “Mark Twain“ was _. A. a famous American writer B. name of a book C. a great river in America D. a large ship 37. As a child, Samuel did not get much education because _. A. his father died too early B. the fam
23、ily was very poor C. he disliked school very much D. he could learn what he liked from the people he met 38. What gave him a great deal when he started writing? _ A. His poor childhood B. The Mississippi river C. All kinds of travelers he met D. His brother 39. We can infer from the passage that _.
24、A. Samuel loved writing from his early age B. Samuel did not love writing at the beginning C. his writings to the newspaper were successful D. his brother encouraged him to write more 40. According to the writer of the passage, a good writer could _. A. write a lot for his readers B. make a lot of m
25、oney for his family C. cause his readers to laugh D. travel everywhere he wanted Passage B In recent years advances in medical technology have made it possible for people to live longer than in the past. New medicines and machines are being developed every day to extend life. However, some people, i
26、ncluding some doctors, are not in favor of these life extending measures, and they argue that people should have the right to die when they want. They say that the quality of life is as important as life itself and that people should not be forced to go on living when conditions of life have become
27、unbearable. They saw that people should be allowed to die with dignity (尊 严) and to decide when they want to die. Others argue that life under any conditions is better than death and that the duty of doctors is always to extend life as long as possible. And so the battle goes on and on without a def
28、inite answer. 41.The best title for this passage is _. A. The Right to Live B. The Right to Die C. The Doctors Duty D. Life Is Better Than Death 42.In recent years, people can live longer than in the past. Its because of _ . A. the development of medical technology B. big hospitals C. good doctors D
29、. both B and C 43.According to some people whether a dying patient has the right to die or not is up to _ .

30、th nor life is good D. none of the above 45.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. Most of the medical workers join in the argument. B. The argument has ended in favor of the patient. C. The argument hasnt ended yet. D. The quality of life is not as important as life
31、itself, so it is generally thought that people should not be allowed to die under any conditions. Passage C I came to India a year ago to find a village in which I could live and write but it was many months before I settled down happily in this Himalayan community. I wasted a lot of time looking fo
32、r the “typical” village. Yet no such thing exists. Conditions are quite different from village to village. But the villages I stayed in had much in common-poor, dirty and backward. Often the villagers themselves were puzzled and doubtful. Why had I come? I had put aside my work as a political journa
33、list because my ideas had changed. I had come to believe that what was happening in the Third World was more important than anything else. But to understand how threequarters of the world population live, and what effect their future might have on ours, I felt that I first had to try and share their
34、 way of life. In the end I chose a mountain village because it was little cooler than those in the plains. I took the bus from town along a rocky road. Then came a rough walk down a steep path to the river. After this I began the climb into the hills. Whenever I stopped to catch my breath, there was
35、 a beautiful scene. After several hours walk the village came into sight. 46.After the writer had arrived in India,_. A. he spent a year writing about the place he lived in B. he spent quite some time looking for a suitable place to live in C. he stayed in an Indian village working for the poor D. h

38、l life in the countryside C. he wanted to find out more about the Third World D. he wanted to try his luck in a foreign country 50.The village the writer finally chose to live in_. A. lay at the end of a rocky road B. had a beautiful sight of the river C. was a short walk from the river D. had bette
39、r weather than those in the plains. 第二节：阅读下列材料，从所给的 6 个选项（A、B、C、D、E 和 F）中，选 出符合各小题要求的最佳选项，其中有一题是多余选项。 _51.Eat more fruits and vegetables. _52.Know the facts about fat. _53.Balance your lunch. _54.Mix it up. _55.Use your manners. A. When people talk about balanced meals, they mean meals that include
40、a mix of food groups: some grains, some fruits, some vegetables, some meat or protein foods, and some dairy foods such as milk and cheese. Try to do this with your lunch. If you dont have a lot of foods on your plate, its probably not balanced. A double order of French fries, for example, would not
41、make for a balanced lunch. B. Eating in a cafeteria(自助餐厅)sometimes looks like feeding time at the zoo. Dont be animals! Follow those simple rules your parents are always reminding you about: Chew with your mouth closed. Dont talk and eat at the same time. Use your plate. Put your napkin on your lap.
42、 Be polite. And dont make fun of what someone else is eating . C. Choosing fruits and vegetables is like hitting the jackpot(获得胜利)when it comes to nutrition .They make your plate more colourful and theyre packed with vitamins and fiber. Its a good idea to eat five servings of fruits and vegetables e
43、very day, so try to fit in one or two at lunch. A serving isnt a lot. D. Kids need some fat in their diets t stay healthy -it also helps keep you feeling full-but you dont want to eat too much of it. Fat is found in butter, oils, cheese, nuts, and meats. Some higher-fat lunch foods include French fr
44、ies, hot dogs, cheeseburgers and cheese. Dont worry if you like these foods! No food is bad, but you may want to eat them less often and in smaller portions. Foods that are lower in fat are usually baked. Some of the best low-fat foods are fruits, vegetables, and low-fat milk. E. “Grains” include br
45、eads, cereals, rice, and pasta. But as we learn more about good nutrition, its clear that whole grains are better than refined grains. Whats the difference? Brown rice is a whole grain, but white rice is not. Likewise wheat bread contains whole grains, whereas 100% white bread does not. F. Do you ea
46、t the same lunch every day ? If that lunch is a hot dog, its time to change your way. You should learn to mix it up when choosing what to eat. Eating lots of different kinds of food gives your body a lot of nutrients. 第 II 卷 第三部分：写作（共三节，满分 35 分） 第一节：单词拼写（共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 10 分） 根据下列句子及所给单词的首字母，写出各单
