19.I remember a day before I turned 30when a barber pulled a gray hair from my head and handed it to me."Here you go,"she said."This is only the beginning."
My mother's hair was  (61)totally(total) gray by 32,but I hoped to hold on to my light brown hair until at least 50.It didn't seem possible that I could be losing my"freshness"at just 29.But as (62)the number of gray hairs increased quickly through the years,I made my peace with (63)going(go) gray.
Then,a few years ago,on my 45th birthday,a middle-aged woman (64)stopped(stop) me as I was walking down the sidewalk and asked what brand of hair coloring I used.I said that I used nothing.She laughed and said she (65)had thought(think) I could direct her to a product that would make her hair look like (66)mine(me).
I felt(67)pleased(please) for three days.I realized that sometimes what we are bored   (68)with might be things that others want to have.So why not accept and enjoy what we have?I'm now (69)proud(pride) of every strand (缕)I've earned over the years and hope to earn more (70)beforeit's too late.After all,it isn't really gray.It is a kind of color that others admire.

分析 本文主要讲述作者在30岁前头发开始变白,但作者希望维持浅棕色的头发到50岁.几年前,在作者45岁生日时,一个中年妇女问她使用了什么牌子的染发剂,希望能像作者的头发一样.这让作者很高兴,有时我们厌烦的东西可能是别人想要的东西.我们为什么不接受和欣赏我们有的东西呢?

解答 61.totally 考查副词.gray是形容词,要用副词修饰.
62.the 考查冠词.the number of…意为"…的数目",是固定搭配,a number of意为"许多的".
63.going 考查动名词.with是介词,后接动词时用动名词形式.     
64.stopped 考查动词时态.此处讲述的是过去的事情,要用一般过去时态.
65.had thought 考查动词时态.think发生在过去动作said之前,即"过去的过去",用过去完成时态.
66.mine 考查代词.此处mine相当于my hair. 
67.pleased 考查过去分词.过去分词作表语,多半用来表示人物所处的心理状态或情感变化,其主语多半是人.     
68.with 考查介词.be bored with意为"厌烦做…",是固定搭配.
69.proud 考查形容词.be proud of意为"以…自豪",是固定搭配.    
70.before 考查连词.根据句意:趁还不太晚.用连词before,意为"趁…".

点评 在一篇200词左右的语篇(短文或对话)中留出10处空白,部分空白的后面给出单词的基本形式,要求考生根据上下文填写空白处所需的内容或所提供单词的正确形式,所填写词语不得多于3个单词.要做好语法填空题,理解短文是解题的前提,扎实的词汇、句型和语法知识是基础,英语国家的背景知识是必要的补充.考生须灵活运用语法知识,如单词词性、单词时态、名词单复数、连接词、代词、冠词等判断各空白处应填写的内容.答完后,还要通读全文,核对所填单词形式是否正确,是否符合语境.

10.It's the place where smart people make smart machines work even smarter.It's also in the heart of sunny California,a great place to start a family and raise kids.What could be better?
But something is happening to their children.Up until the age of two they develop normally.But then everything seems to go backwards.The children become lock A.It helps the homeless teenagers.into their own small world,unable to communicate at all.
They call it the"curse(诅咒)of Silicon Valley,"but the medical name for the condition is autism(自闭症).It used to be thought that autism was a kind of mental illness.Now doctors are sure that it is a neurological disease transmitted genetically.It seems that the people leading the communications revolution are having children who cannot communicate at all.
But even the parents have trouble communicating.Asperger's Syndrome is a mild version of autism.People who have it are highly intelligent and often brilliant with numbers or system but have no social skill.This very combination of symptoms makes Asperger's sufferers into ideal computer professionals.
The Asperger's sufferer has always been a well-known figure in popular culture.He or she was the eccentric but dedicated scholar or the strange uncle or auntie who never married.But the high numbers of such people in Silicon Valley mean that they can meet others who understand them and share their interests.And while they might not be personally attractive,they can earn truly attractive amounts of money.They can get married and have kids.Unfortunately,many of the children of two Asperger's parents seem to be developing serious autism.
There is little anyone can do.It takes hours of work just to make autistic child realize that anyone else exists.And there is no cure in sight.Some argue that no cure should be found."It may be that autistics are essentially different from normal people,but that these differences make them invaluable for the evolution of the human race,"says Dr.Kirk Whilhelmsen of the University of California."To eliminate the genes for autism could be disastrous.
It seems that the children of Silicon Valley are paying the price of genius.
9.What does Dr Kirk Whilhelmsen think of autism?B
A.It is disastrous to society.
B.It is not completely a bad thing.
C.It is a punishment to those working in Silicon Valley.
D.People with autism should never marry.
10.Why do people call autism"curse of Silicon Valley"?B
A.Because autistic people live in Silicon Valley.
B.Because many people working in Silicon Valley have autism children.
C.Because people with autism will be driven out of Silicon Valley.
D.Because people with autism are not personally attractive and not liked by others.
11.What can we know about Asperger's Syndrome according to the passage?A
A.Asperger's sufferers are ideal computer professionals.
B.Asperger's sufferers never get married and have children.
C.Asperger's sufferers are ashamed of themselves and locked into their own world.
D.Asperger's sufferers can be beneficial to society if they are cured.

14.One of the important things for the whole family to do is to have dinner together.About ten years ago,researchers began to report the benefits of family dinner,focusing mainly on how it affects children.Studies show that those families,who eat dinner at least 3or 4times a week together,benefit in many ways.
Eating together helps families achieve open communication and build stronger and healthier relationships.Children have better grades at school and the whole family enjoys healthier environment.For many families,eating dinner together proves to be good and an effective way to reduce the risk of youth crimes,and helps to raise healthier children.It is also a great time to share the events of the day,discuss news and ideas and just be together and enjoy each other's company(陪伴).
During dinner time parents have better opportunity to show that they are the important ones to their children.Sitting at the same table and sharing meals is where and when parents can find out more about their children's school performance,daily activities and attitudes toward life.When parents have all this information,they can better direct their kids toward positive things in life.They also have better chance to reduce the possibility that children will get involved with alcohol,tobacco,and illegal drugs.
(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 12WORDS.)
70.  benefits the whole family.Have dinner together.

8.September 21,2050----At a press conference today it was announced that the first tourist heading for Mars will be the 38-year-old US businessman Patrick Clifford.He will leave the earth in the  launching window of June 2052 and set his foot on the surface of Mars in November,together with the other 6 astronauts assigned for the mission to further explore the planet.
Patrick has now two years of training ahead of him to get ready for the trip.Not only will he spend five months in getting to Mars,but another 600 days there before he can go back home.Patrick was of course very excited,"This has been my dream since I was four,and seeing the first man on Mars 20 years ago made me realize that it was possible."
To be able to pay the $ 1.3 billion for his ticket for the trip Patrick sold his majority stake (股份) in the company his father had built."I know that my father would have been proud of me if he had still been alive today,he knew what this means to me",says Patrick.There is no risk though that you will find Patrick begging in your street corner when he comes back, but it is said that he was paid twice as much for his part of the company.
So,how is he going to spend his 600 days on the red planet?"Well,since I don't have a job when I get back after selling the company,I have plenty of time to come up with a new business idea",he says and laughs.If he brings a shovel(铁锹)he can start building the first hotel there,but maybe he shouldn't expect too many guests until someone can offer a cheaper ticket.
13.How long will Patrick Clifford be away before he comes back?D
A.About five months        
B.About two years           
C.About 600 days            
D.About 750 days
14.The underlined part in Paragraph 3 means thatC
A.the trip will turn Patrick into a beggar   
B.Patrick will get much money from the trip
C.we needn't worry about Patrick's economic condition
D.it's likely that Patrick will be very poor after he comes back
15.What can be inferred from the passage?A
A.Patrick is an optimistic man
B.A total of six people will go to Mars
C.Patrick's father felt excited at the news  
D.Patrick will spend all his money on the trip.
