It was the first morning of the New Year and the weather was very cold. I have always been an early bird and my morning walks have been the 36 for the last 7 years, so I put on my shoes to 37 for my first walk of the New Year.

There was complete 38 outside. Litter could be seen everywhere. It seemed that everyone had an all-night 39 . It was too cold to 40 anyone to be awake to clear all the walkways at 5 in the morning. I was 41 to walk on the dirty walkways and decided to go back home.

I was about to leave 42 I saw Sam cleaning the garden. He is an employee of our society association and is 43 to take care of the walkways and the garden. I walked up to Sam as it was a(n) 44 to see him there cleaning at this time. He saw me and politely 45 me, “ Happy New Year!”

“How come you are here and doing all this on the very first day of a new year?” I asked. Sam answered 46 , “It is just a day like any other day. I do not want people to walk on 47 walkways. It is the first day of the year so they should feel good and special. For me, today is like any other day and my job starts with the 48 .”

It was good to see someone so 49 at heart. Like other staff members, Sam could have taken a day 50 , but he woke up early and came for all of us. I suddenly realized life does not 51 when the clock strikes twelve at midnight and a New Year begins. We 52 all night, drinking and feeding ourselves. Then we leave the place in high spirits. However, we make the surroundings dirty. Life goes on and others need to 53 up early and clear the garbage. Isn’t the very next morning a new day of a New Year for all those who clear our garbage? Why can’t we also keep our 54 clean so that everyone can have a New Year the very next day? It is true that small things can make a big 55 in our lives.

第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，40分）

第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，共30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

You know what it’s like. You’ve just arrived in Toronto after a long flight, and all you really want to do is to lie down and relax in your hotel room. But first you have to make a few quick notes for tomorrow’s meeting, then check your e-mails, and perhaps print out a few things. And you need to make a few local telephone calls, and one call home to your family.

And what do you usually get? Your desk is just about big enough for a cup of coffee; there’s no desk lamp; the stationery(办公用品) is a couple of sheets of headed notepaper; and a pen doesn’t work. Printing has to be arranged with the Reception, and when you try to use your cellphone you find that it won’t work in Canada.

Well, Harmony is different. Just tell us in advance what you’re going to need, and we’ll see that it’s waiting for you when you arrive. There will be a printer in your room if you want one, and a cellphone that really works. All you have to pay for is the calls you make.

We can also arrange a room for business meetings, and, using the very best employment agency, even supply a secretary to take minutes. All we ask is a few days’ notice.

All our rooms are of the same high standard, and we guarantee not to increase prices in the next twelve months. But book now, because we’re already filling up fast, and we’d hate to disappoint you.

Harmony—the hotel you’ve always wanted, but never been able to find—until now!

56. The advertisement is intended for_____.

A. airline staff B. business people C.secretaries D. tourists

57. What must the guest do if he wants a secretary?

A. Inform the hotel in advance. B. Tell the Reception on arrival.

B

Lumberjack Art

When people think of an artist, they probably do not imagine a lumberjack(伐木工人) cutting down trees with a chainsaw. Yet many lumberjacks consider themselves to be artists. Instead of patiently working on a large block of hard rock, however, lumberjack artists use chainsaws to carve their masterpieces from wood.

Wooden sculptures(雕塑) created with chainsaws are perfect examples of folk art. Everyday tools are used to create art that focuses on subjects found in nature, such as bears or other forest animals. Not all lumberjacks are artists, but some chainsaw artists have been lumberjacks.

A lumberjack who is also an artist might cut down a tree during a workday. If the stump, the bottom of the tree, is a good size, the artist might be motivated to sculpt the stump into the shape of a forest animal. The chainsaw artist might also carve other large blocks of wood. Sometimes a homeowner might cut down a tree in the yard and then hire a chainsaw artist to create an outdoor sculpture from the stump. So, this art owes its origins to everyday tasks and nature.

The origins of chainsaw art may be humble(不起眼的), but the practice has expanded well beyond turning a stump into a sculpture. In
