The director 51 long enough to let his words sink in. Then he continued, “Folks, when I tried on the glasses, it was 52 they had been custom-made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that!”
Sitting quietly in the back, with 53 running down his face, my grandfather, an 54 carpenter, realized that God had used him in an extraordinary way to help someone whose 55 was bigger than his!

第三部分 閱讀理解(第一節(jié)10小題,第二節(jié)5小題;每小題2分,滿分30分)
第一節(jié) 閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng),并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。
A
Does it matter whether or not I wash out food and drink cans before putting them in the recycling box and what rate of all those cans we use is actually recycled?
Imagine life as a waste sorter or, perhaps more correctly, a recycling operative. It is early in the morning and you are going through the Jones’s rubbish. Pick up one tin and you’re split with baked beans. Another is half full of old cat food. Meanwhile one of your boots is filled with left-over canned beer.
While all tins that go for recycling pass through a washing, heating and counting process which wipes out the pollution from food and other products, most local governments insist on washed and empty goods. Indeed, many refuse to take soiled tins. This is not only out of kindness to the collectors and sorters: tins with food left in them can smell and attract rats and other animals. Also relatively clean tins make recycling easier and cheaper—an important point in the continuing argument over ever-increasing local tax bills.
Though we might like to think that we buy more fresh produce these days, our desire for tinned goods is stronger than ever. Around 12 billion steel(鋼)food and drink cans—or about 600 per household—are used in the UK each year, plus at least another five billion aluminium drink cans. Of those amounts, approximately(大約)25 percent of the steel and 50 percent of the aluminium cans are recycled.
Recycling rates are improving, but as in most areas of waste treating, the UK falls well behind many countries in Europe. For example, Switzerland and Finland recycle more than 80 percent of their tins and cans.
Most metals can be recycled indefinitely without losing their essential properties and, compared with plastic and many other packaging products, are ideal for recycling. This is particularly true of aluminium. Cans, foil(錫箔紙), chocolate wrapping and yoghurt pot tops can be recycled and used time and again. Details of a plan to encourage more aluminium recycling while raising cash for various charities can be found at www.alupro.org.uk.
The economic downturn has caused problems for recyclers of steel tins, with prices at one stage recently dropping to zero compared with 230 per tonne(公噸)a year ago. The result is a build-up of stocks in many areas. And there are more reasons for washing those tins.
Recycling companies report that some people put their used tins in the dishwasher: that’s a bit extreme and a waste of energy. A good washing should be enough.
56. According to the passage, ___ .
A. most people think the food and drink cans should be washed in the dishwasher
B. most people would like to wash the food and drink cans
C. most people feel that recycling the waste cans is very important
D. most people think recycling the waste cans isn’t useful
57. Which one of the following statements is true?
A. People are not used to buying more fresh produce.
B. Every family in the UK eat 600 cans at least.
C. In waste treating, the UK does worse than Finland.
D. In waste treating, Finland and Switzerland do bad.
58. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Most metals are ideal for recycling compared with many other packaging products.
B. Only a few metals can be used many times without losing their basic property.
C. Plastic is more ideal for recycling than metal.
D. Foil can’t be recycled well.
59. According to the passage, ___ .
A. most local governments insist waste cans needn’t be wasted before recycling
B. washing the waste cans is only for giving collectors less trouble
C. washing the waste cans is only for keeping from attracting rats
D. washing the waste cans is not only for giving collectors less trouble but also for keeping from attracting rats
B
It was a long time since I visited my mother last time. The demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally. That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie. She thought about it for a moment, and then agreed.
That Friday after work, I drove over to pick her up. When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary. She smiled from a face that was as beautiful as an angel’s.
We went to a very nice and comfortable restaurant. After we sat down, I had to read the menu. A smile was on her lips. “It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were a child.” she said. “Then it’s time that you relax and let me return the favor.” I responded.
During the dinner we had an agreeable conversation—nothing special but catching up on recent events of each other’s life. We talked so much that we missed the movie. As we arrived at her house later, she said, “I’ll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.” I agreed.
A few days later my mother died of an uncontemplated heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have a chance to do anything for her. At that moment I understood the importance of saying “I love you” in time and giving our loved ones the time that they deserve. Nothing in life is more important than your family. Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till “some other time”.
60. We can learn from the passage that ___ .
A. the author didn’t want to visit his mother
B. the author was too busy supporting his own family
C. the author suffered a lot when he was small
D. the author’s mother brought him up all by herself
61. They missed the movie probably because ___ .
A. they didn’t want to see the movie at all
B. they enjoyed the talk so much that they forgot the time
C. they just wanted to relax in the comfortable restaurant
D. the author forgot to buy the tickets for the movie
62. The underlined word “uncontemplated” in Paragraph 5 most probably means ___ .
A. invisibleB. defensive
C. unexpectedD. positive

The picture-like island is rich in scenic beauty. Barbados sightseeing is a photographer’s dream that comes true with numbers of natural wonders, breathtaking scenic views, attractive gardens and miles of white, sandy beaches. There’s so many things to see and to do, as you check out some of the places of interest on the island.
Historical Appeal Experience
Full of historical appeal you’ll love the impressive collection of beautiful great houses, landmarks, old churches, and traditional ancient houses some of which may date back to the 16th century. Historic Bridgetown, over 375 years old, capital of Barbados, is located with its colorful fishing boats and splendid yachts(極佳的游艇). Check out the Barbados National and see some of the island’s most beautiful homes.
Nature Charm Enjoyment
Nature lovers will find the Botanical Garden, as well as the wonderful landscapes of the tropical plants and flowers, a welcome addition to their trip. Nature trails, rocky caves and local wildlife will make these tours relaxing.
A guided island tour is of excellent value for money as well as informative changes from scenic, fun-filled, historic tours to exciting safari tours. If seeing the island from a different point is what you want to do, then try one of our sea tours, air tours or underwater tours to enjoy what sea plants and animals it can offer.
Rental Drive Adventure
If you rent a car, here are a few things to remember. The roads, thin and rocky, are sometimes leading nowhere and often unmarked. You might think of some possible dangers. But don’t get upset if you get lost—everybody does, even locals, Bajans! If you make a wrong turn, consider it is a part of the adventure of touring Barbados. You might want to pick up any of the several visitors’ guides which include maps.
Bajans are generally very helpful in directing you to your destination. They will do their best to try to steer you the right way, even if the directions seem a bit out of true. But not to worry, you will get there in the end.

A. Varieties of college dictionaries
B. Accessing dictionaries electronically
C. Elements under a word item
D. Complete editions of dictionaries
E. Using dictionaries for particular fields
F. Features of college dictionaries
66. ______________________
You’re probably most familiar with college dictionaries, often called abridged dictionaries(節(jié)本詞典). Although abridged means “shortened”, these dictionaries contain more than 150,000 entries and provide detailed definitions that are enough for most college students and general users. College dictionaries also contain separate lists of abbreviations, biographical and geographical names, foreign words and phrases, and tables of measures. Webster’s Ⅱ New Riverside University Dictionary and the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language are college dictionaries.
67. ______________________
Unabridged dictionaries contain as many as 500,000 entries and provide detailed definitions and vast word histories (etymologies). These dictionaries, possibly in several volumes(冊)and mostly found in libraries, are excellent sources for scholarly inquiries. Unabridged dictionaries include the Oxford English Dictionary and the Random House Dictionary of the English Language.
68. ______________________
A dictionary entry has many elements: multiple definitions(多重定義), syllabication, preferred spelling and pronunciation (some words have more than one acceptable spelling and pronunciation), and part-of-speech labels. Some entries also include plurals and capitalized forms. Synonyms, antonyms, and derivatives. Americanisms and etymologies may be provided along with usage notes, cross-references, and idioms(成語).
69. ______________________
If you prefer using the dictionary on a computer, you can obtain CD-ROM versions of many major dictionaries. In addition, you can access a great number of dictionaries, such as WWWebster’s Dictionary, on the Internet. Online dictionaries allow you to enter a search word (you even get help with spelling) to see a definition, and sometimes even an explanation. Online dictionaries also offer additional features, such as word games, language tips, and amusing facts about words. Some online dictionary services allow you to access a great number of dictionaries, both general and specialized, in on search.
70. ______________________
Specialized dictionaries provide in-depth information about a certain field. For example, there are dictionaries for the specialized vocabularies of law, computer technology, and medicine. In addition, there are dictionaries of synonyms, clichés, slang, and even regional expressions, such as the Dictionary of American Regional English (DARE). There are also dictionaries of foreign languages, famous people’s names, literary characters’ names and place names.

People today, in all this new world of technology and thinking, have lost sight of what a true friendship is. So, though I own my best friend Jenny, I thought I would help the world out a little and explain what real, true friends are.
Friends don’t have to be exactly the same. They have similarities but ___________ . The key to opening up the world of friendship is not only to expand on similarities but to accept each other’s faults, because you can’t ever judge your friend.
Friends have to argue! No one likes to but it is necessary to be healthy. Because if you agree on everything, either the government has expanded cloning subjects or someone isn’t being true and is trying a little too hard.
You have to be comfortable together. Otherwise, you just aren’t going to click. If you feel uneasy around the person then something isn’t quite right.
Friends love unconditionally. They have their little angry moments but what’s done is done and all is forgiven and forgotten. Why let something that happened in the past ruin the happiness you could have in the future?
Believe in love at first sight because there is the same thing happening in friendship. Some people think that you have to know someone really well to become good friends. Trust me, it’s not true.
These are only a few of the basics. Just remember, friends are forever, but only if you keep it that way. Don’t disrespect your friends. Love them instead.
