A.
I suddenly heard an elephant crying as though frightened. Looking down, I immediately recognized that something was wrong, and ran down to the edge of the near bank. There I saw Ma Shwe with her three-month-old calf(小象) struggling in the fast-rising water, and it was a life-and-death struggle. Her calf was floating and screaming with fear. Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get, holding her whole body against the rushing water, and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body. Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf away.
There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mother’s body and was gone. Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk (象鼻) against the rocky bank. Then with a huge effort, she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock.
Just at this moment she fell back into the river. If she were carried down, it would be certain death. I knew, as well as she did, that there was one spot(地点) where she could get up the bank, but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf.
While I was wondering what I could do next, I heard the sound of a mother’s love. Ma Shwe had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she could, roaring (吼叫) all the time, but to her calf it was music.

During Bill Clinton's presidency ，he wrote speeches for Health and Human Services Secretary Donna Shalala and worked in a number of jobs in the White House and in governmental departments.

Everywhere man is altering the balance of nature．He is facilitating the spread of plants and animals into new regions, sometimes deliberately, sometimes unconsciously．He is covering huge areas with new kinds of plants, or with houses, factories, slag-heaps and other products of his civilization．He exterminates some species on a large scale, but favors the multiplication of others．In brief, he has done more in five thousand years to alter the biological aspect of the planet than has nature in five million．
Many of these changes which he has brought about have had unforeseen consequences．Who would have thought that the throwing away of a piece of Canadian waterweed would have caused half the waterways of Britain to be blocked for a decade, or that the provision of pot cacti for lonely settlers’ wives would have led to Eastern Australian being overrun with forests of Prickly Pear Who would have prophesied that the cutting down of forests on the Adriatic coasts, or in parts of Central Africa, could have reduced the land to a semi desert, with the very soil washed away from the bare rock Who would have thought that improved communications would have changed history by the spreading of disease-sleeping sickness into East Africa, measles into Oceania, very possibly malaria into ancient Greece
These are spectacular examples; but examples on a smaller scale are everywhere to be found．We make a nature sanctuary for rare birds, prescribing absolute security for all species; and we may find that some common and hardy kind of bird multiplies beyond measure and ousts the rare kinds in which we were particularly interested．We see, owing to some little change brought about by civilization, the starling spread over the English country-side in hordes．We improve the yielding capacities of our cattle; and find that now they exhaust the pastures which sufficed for less exigent stock．
36．The following examples except _______________ reflect man altering the balance of nature．
A．man is covering huge areas with new kinds of plants
B．man is facilitating the spread of animals into new regions．
C．man is getting to know the importance of keeping the balance of nature．
D．man is killing some species on a large scale
37．What had a piece of Canadian waterweed cause
A．Half the waterways of Britain blocked for a decade．
B．Eastern Australian was overrun with forests．
C．In parts of central Africa, the land reduced to a semi desert．
D．Disease-sleeping has been caused．
38．What have spread diseases
A．Improved communications． B．Measles．
C．Disease-sleeping sickness D．Malaria．
39．We make a nature sanctuary for rare birds but _______________.
A．no bird multiply
B．rare kinds multiply
C．all bird multiply
D．some common and hardy kind of bird multiplies
40．The main idea of the passage is ______________．
A．that man is deliberately destroying the balance of nature
B．that man has foreseen the consequences of altering the balance old nature
C．that man is altering the balance of nature
D. that improved communications have changed history
D．
So long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake to do for children that which only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that“ reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible”.
　　Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also public activity. It can be seen and observed.
　　Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny.
　　If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable ,what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest（探索）for knowledge Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. “Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children. ”
　　When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading.
41．The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that _______________.
　　A. too much time is spent in teaching about reading
　　B. students spend endless hours in reading
　　C. reading tasks are assigned with little guidance
　　D. it is one of the most difficult school courses
42．The teaching of reading will be successful if _______________.
　　A. teachers can improve conditions at school for the students
　　B. teachers can devise the most efficient system for reading
　　C. teachers can enable students to develop their own way of reading
　　D. teachers can make their teaching activities observable
43．The underlined word“ scrutiny” most probably means“______________”.
　　A. inquiry　　　　　　　　　　　 B. control
　　C. observation　　　　　　　　　 D. suspicion
44．According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a difficult task when ______________.
　　A. teacher and learner roles are interchangeable
　　B. children become highly motivated
　　C. teaching helps children in the search for knowledge
　　D. reading enriches children’s experience
45．The main idea of the passage is that ______________.
　　A. teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to read
　　B. teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possible
　　C. reading is more complicated that generally believed
D. reading ability is something acquired rather than taught

A Man had two dogs: a Hound and a Housedog. When the two dogs were still young, the Man gave them different trainings. The Hound was made to run miles to trace animals. It had to fight with big animals. Every day, the Man would lead the Hound out to the forest and hunt in the mountains. These hard experiences helped him build up a strong body and great determination. While the Hound was trained to assist him in his sports, the Housedog was taught to watch the house. The Housedog was told to remain at home. It would bark at those strange visitors. Its task was to protect the possessions. When the Man returned home after a good day's sport, he always gave the Housedog a large share of his spoil. The Hound, feeling much hurt at this, scolded his companion, saying, "It is very hard to have all this labor, while you, who do not assist in the chase, enjoy the fruits of my hard work." The Housedog replied, "Do not blame me, my friend, but find fault with the master, who has not taught me to labor, but to depend for subsistence on the labor of others."
Children are not to be blamed for the assignments of their parents.

Dear friends,
As we all know, we are what we eat. Therefore, it’s very important for us to form healthy eating habits. However, bad eating habits are still very common among us students. Some of us often go to school without breakfast; some like to have snacks; some others are particular about food; and still some eat or drink too much. All these bad habits will surely do harm to our health.
To keep fit, we should have various healthy diets, which generally include proper amounts of fish, meat, vegetables, fruit as well as main food. Besides, we’d better have meals regularly.
In my opinion, we should try to develop healthy eating habits to build up a strong body to study better.
That’s all. Thank you!
第二节 读写任务（共1小题，满分25分）
One possible version：
As is described in the story, the hound and the housedog were given different trainings because their master assigned them different tasks. Therefore the two dogs led two kinds of lives. (31 words)
It is evident that what the hound gets from its training is of life-long benefit. First, through the hard experience, the hound has gained the ability for survival. Second, the training has cultivated the hound's independence. Last but not least, a strong character with great determination has been formed, which will help the hound bravely face challenges.
If I were to be trained, I would prefer the training the hound has received. Take myself for an example. Having been brought up in a comfortable environment, I was dependent. Then the military training I received when I was in primary school taught me how to shoulder life responsibility. The tight schedule, the strict rules, the serious officers and the hard training made me suddenly realize what life is like. From then on, I became independent and strong-willed. Therefore, I believe we need hard training to upgrade ourselves.
