When I was a small child, the excitement of Christmas began on December 1st. I woke up early and ran to wake my mum, 36 at her arm and saying, “Can we put up the Christmas 37 now?” Once this was done, the countdown to Christmas really started.
On Christmas Eve, I went to bed 38 , but couldn’t sleep. As I tried to sleep, I prayed that I’d been 39 enough for Santa to come.
I thought I would never sleep, but I must have 40 slept, because, when I awoke I 41 something heavy at the end of my bed. I didn’t know 42 to open my eyes now. My mum had told me that if you 43 Santa, he will disappear before he has a chance to leave your presents.
At last I opened one eye, and saw the stocking full of 44 at the end of my bed. I shouted at my little sister to 45 before running into my brother’s room. Feeling happy and excited, the three of us 46 out stocking to our mum’s bedroom.
We raced from one to the next, shaking them to try to 47 what was inside, before tearing off the wrapping paper. Once we had 48 these small presents, we all went downstairs for breakfast, we rushed our meal 49 chewing our food. We knew that more presents were waiting for us under the tree－gifts from family and friends.
What we saw was the 50 every year, presents piled up with our names 51 on them. My mum tried to keep us 52 by passing each of us one present at a time. But we were too excited to 53 her go so slowly.
She always made us wait 54 after lunch to open our last few presents.
Christmas was always the happiest day of the year for me when I was young. But not just because of the presents. Seeing each member of my family happy was what 55 －and still makes－Christmas special in my house.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
第一节: 选择题（共17小题， 满分34分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并将答案填在答卷上。
（A）
It was four days before Christmas. The spirit of the season hadn’t yet caught up with me, even though cars packed the parking lot of our local store.
Inside the store, it was worse. Shopping carts and last minute shoppers jammed the aisles（过道）. My list contained names of several people who claimed they wanted nothing but I knew their feelings would be hurt if I didn't buy them anything.
Hurriedly, I filled my shopping cart with last minute items and headed to the long checkout lines. In front of me were two small children－a boy of about 5 and a younger girl. The boy wore a ragged coat. The girl’s head was a matted mass of curly hair. She carried a beautiful pair of shiny, gold house slippers.
When we finally approached the checkout register, the girl carefully placed the shoes on the counter.
The clerk rang up the bill. “That will be $6.09,” she said. The boy searched his pockets. He finally came up with $3.12. “I guess we will have to put them back,” he bravely said. “But Jesus would have loved these shoes,” she cried. “Well, we’ll go home and work some more. Don’t cry. We’ll come back,” he said.
Quickly I handed $3.00 to the cashier. Suddenly a pair of arms came around me and a small voice said, “Thank you, lady.”
“What did you mean when you said Jesus would like the shoes?” I asked.
The boy answered, “Our mommy is sick and going to heaven. Daddy said she might go before Christmas to be with Jesus.” The girl spoke, “Won’t mommy be beautiful walking on those streets to match these shoes?”
My eyes flooded as I looked into her tear streaked face. “Yes,” I answered, “I am sure she will.”
56. How did the writer feel when Christmas was coming?
A. Excited. B. Sad. C. Indifferent. D. Worried.
57. Why did the writer come to the store?
A. To buy some gifts for Christmas. B. To help the brother and sister.
C. To buy something for her children. D. To get her car.
58. How did the brother and sister get $3.12?
A. Their father gave it to them. B. They begged from others.
C. The writer gave it to them. D. They got paid by working.
59. For whom did the brother and sister want to buy the shoes?
A. For the brother. B. For the sister. C. For their father. D. For their mother.
( B )
Here are a few tips as to how you should care for your clothes to ensure that they last a long time. We also explain the meaning of the different symbols on the washing label（标签）.
General washing instructions
Colored clothes last longer if they are washed inside out. Streaks（条纹） on jeans, for example, can then be avoided.
Shirts keep their shape better if they are dried hanging on a clothes hanger. Straighten the seams (线缝) and collar and the shape will be better kept and the shirt easier to iron.
Never allow colored clothes to dry outdoors in sunlight. They can become discolored.
Washing in water
The bowl symbol indicates that the clothes can be washed in water in a washing machine or by hand. Within the bowl, there is a figure indicating the temperature that should be used to wash the clothes. The line under the bowl indicates any limitations to the normal washing process.
Wash in a filled machine at the
indicated water temperature.
Normal spin（旋转）.
Wash in a machine at the indicated water temperature.
The line under the bowl indicates that extra care should be taken.
Hand washing
Never pour washing powder directly onto the clothes or allow colored clothes to soak（浸泡）. This can result in discoloration. Avoid leaving clothes to soak!
Hand wash only. Max
Do not rub, do not wring out.
Do not wash in water.
Washing of wool and silk
Clothes of untreated
wool or silk, for example, with washing instructions “hand wash, max

( D )
What is terrorism? Consideration of just a few statistics（统计数字） begins to provide an answer.
●October 1983－U.S Marine barracks bombed in
●December 1988－Pan Am Flight 103 blown up over Scotland: 270 killed.
●February 1993－New York City’s World Trade Centre bombed: 6 dead, more than 1,000 injured.
●April 199－Oklahoma City Federal Building bombed: 169 killed, hundreds injured.
●September 2001－New York City’s World Trade Centre was knocked down by terrorists’ planes and 3,126 killed.
These five facts of terrorism directed against the U.S. Government or its citizens were systematic, premeditated, and calculated; furthermore, they were fueled by extreme hatred (仇恨). The resulting death, injury, and destruction are merely part of the shock and fear that terrorists want to create, as they also call attention to their cause. The unfortunate commonality（平民）in terrorist crimes is that innocent (无辜的) people suffer.
Is there a clear and short description of who the terrorist is? Terrorists are people who believe that their cause and their rights are being threatened, and that the violence they create is justified and desirable. However, not all terrorists can be categorized as part of an organized, radical (激进的), or extremist group, for some are individuals acting alone in order to defend more direct control over their immediate environment.
What steps
can be taken to lighten the terrorist’s threat? Defensive measures, according
to terrorism experts, include tighter building security, more strict immigration
policies to prevent foreign terrorists from entering the

D. fewer incoming flights from foreign countries
71. The underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refers to ______.
A. terrorism experts B. foreign terrorists
C. defensive measures D. American citizens
72. The basic pattern used to develop this passage is ______.
A. personal narrative (叙述) B. time order
C. statement and argument D. question and answer
第二节： 简答题（共3小题， 满分6分）
阅读下面短文，根据第73至第75小题的具体要求，简要回答问题。
Some people say the traditional calendar of one hundred eighty days no longer meets the needs of American society.
Critics(评论家) also say a long summer vacation causes students to forget much of what they learned.
Schools are under pressure to raise test scores. Some have changed their schedule to try to improve student performance. They have lengthened（延长） the school day or added days to the year or both.
This can be costly if schools need air conditioning on hot days and school employees need to be paid for the extra time.
Local businesses may object to a longer school year because students are unable to work as long at summer jobs.
Some schools have a year-round schedule. The school year is extended over twelve months. Instead of a long vacation, there are many short ones.
Some parts of the country had year-round programs in the 19th century, mostly for economic reasons. They felt it wasted money to use school buildings for only part of the year.
Year-round schedules programs can also reduce crowding in schools. In one version（做法）, students attend school for nine weeks and then have three weeks off. The students are in groups that are not all in school at the same time.
Another year-round calendar has all students in school together for nine weeks and off for three. This is meant to provide the continuous learning that can be lost over a long break.
But year-round schooling has opponents（反对者）. They say it can cause problems for families when they want to make summer plans. And they say it interferes（干涉） with activities outside school－including summer employment.
73. Find in the passage a word closest in meaning to the underlined word “calendar”.
___________________________________________________________________________
74. According to the passage, what kind of calendar has a long summer vocation?(回答词数不超过3个)

75. How many advantages of the year-round calendar are mentioned in the passage? （回答词数不超过2个）
