听以下对话，在横线上补全信息。录音播放两遍。

Charles: You know, the one issue that I feel the strongest about is the environment. Well, maybe it’s a little expensive to change our ways, but we have to try. We need to take care of the world we live in. So I think we can all do small things: like 1 and be careful not to waste water and electricity. You know what they say: We only have one world, so we shouldn’t 2 .

Melissa: For me, freedom of speech is very important. We should always be allowed to say 3 - especially now. You know that people want to censor the Internet. They want to limit what we 4 on our computers. Well, I don’t agree with that at all. Of course, I know, it’s 5 . Where do you draw a line on what should be controlled? What limits should 6 our freedom of speech? I suppose that there have to be some limits set, but I say 7 the better. Maybe the best thing is just to decide everything on a case-by-case basis.

Brian: I guess I’d have to say the issue I think most about is world peace. It’s time we all 8 and work together 9 instead of as separate nations. Now, I’m not saying that it’s easy. Of course, we all come from different cultures and speak different languages. It’s just that we’re so dependent on one another. The world is becoming a smaller place, 10 . We have to learn to get along. I believe in this issue strongly, and I support the United Nations because I think they do good work.

第一节 阅读理解 (共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卷上将该项涂黑。

A

The house was quiet at 5 a.m. and Tim’s mother was asleep. Only the sound of the big freezer broke the quiet. He’d dreamt of the cave last night. The purring (轻微颤动声) of the freezer had been the sea.

Tim pulled on a sweater and put some apples into his schoolbag. It was too early for breakfast. He’d eat after he’d been through the cave, sitting on the rocks and staring at the sea.

He wished he had a proper pack. His schoolbag would have to do. What else? Sandwiches ---but his mother might wake up if he started pulling out bread for sandwiches, she’d want to know why he had to leave so early. He settled for some biscuits, and left a note stuck to the table.

Gone to Michael’s Back tonight .Tim.

The sky was high and soft and light outside, though the sun still wasn’t up. Even the highway up the hill was quiet as he made his way down the street. The wind from the sea was fresh and sweet.

The sandhills still breathed heat from yesterday’s sun, though the top of the sand was cool. He ran down to the beach impatiently, but there was no one, just dry sand dancing in the early wind and seabirds marching up and down watching the waves.

The light changed suddenly. The first rays of sunlight stretched across the sea. The sun was pushing its way over the edge of the world．

Over the first rocks, along to the point, Tim glanced back. The beach was still empty. The sun sailed higher in the sky.

He could see the cave now, even darker in the morning light. The sand turned silver then dark gold as the water flowed away from it. He had to force himself to go closer. Why was it so much more mysterious now? But it would be silly to go back now after so much trouble. He needn’t go in all the way …

38. What made it possible for Tim to see the entry to the cave?

A. The height of the first rocks. B. The ups and downs of the waves.

C. The change in the position of the sun. D. The vast stretch of the sunlit beach.

39. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the story?

A. The sea looked like a piece of gold.

B. Seabirds flew away when Tim arrived.

C. Tim was the only person on the beach.

D. The sky got dark as Tim reached the cave.

40. In the story, Tim’s mood changed from .

A. loneliness to craziness B. anxiousness to excitement

C. helplessness to happiness D. eagerness to nervousness

B

“A very destructive seven-year old child kicked my legs and scratched at my hand,” said one teacher. “I broke up a fight and was kicked,” said another. Many people have heard stories like this. But the situation is more worrying still and it involves parents.

Every child, regardless of the circumstances into which they are born, has the right to achieve their potential, regardless of their parents’ wealth and class. And we recognize that, as a nation, it is a long way to achieve this goal. But rights come with responsibilities and what worries people is that we are in danger of neglecting the latter.

Far too many children are behaving badly at school, even to the point of being violent to staff. This is terrible enough，but it is hard to be surprised since many children are just mirroring the behavior of their parents. Too many are starting school unable to hold a knife and fork, unused to eating at a table，and unable to use the lavatory properly.

We are in danger of becoming a nation of families living separate lives under one roof. The bedroom, once a place to sleep, has become the living space for the young. Spending hours in front of computer screens, on social networking sites or being immersed in computer games, children and young people spend little time with their parents. Parents are unable to monitor just what their children are watching.

Schools cannot right the wrongs of society and teachers cannot become substitute parents. Both parties need to work together. Parents must be helped and given confidence to take back control. They are responsible for setting boundaries for their children’s behavior and sticking to those boundaries when the going gets tough. They are responsible for setting a good example to their children and for devoting that most precious of resources---time---so that children come to school ready and willing to learn.

41. What problem do people ignore in the writer’s opinion?

A. The school violence. B. The pressure of students’ learning.

C. The right to achieve students’ potential. D. Students’ responsibilities.

42. The writer’s attitude to the behaviors of parents may be that of .

A. dissatisfaction B. sympathy C. understanding D. tolerance

43. The underlined part in Paragraph 4 may mean .

A. children don’t live with their parents in the same room

B. parents care little about children’s life at home

C. children spend little tim
