“I bought you a card to sign for Matts birthday,” my wife, Margie, said.
“Oh, its his birthday?” she asked. But she did realize the date was approaching; she simply did recognize the date itself as having any significance.
“I never thought I could forget that date,” she said in tears.
But as the disease ravaged Beas brain, she seemed to cling to life more greedily. I knew what her healthy mind would have wanted. I knew what I would have wanted if it were me. Even after she had stopped eating altogether, she wouldnt let go.
Flashback, 2004: She was 80. Nearly everyone she was close to there — brothers and sister, best friends—had died, some long before. It was time. I had to fly home to gather her up and put her in a home near us, in Phoenix, but I had no plan.
I thought of that moment of weakness five years later as I sat holding her hand. She was near death. Her flesh was loose and transparent, her eyes grayed and milky.
I didnt cry. I was too exhausted. “O.K.,” I said. “Ill bring you back.” As if I could undo her terminal sedation and somehow replicate her lost mind.
Suddenly, finally, she quieted. And then she died peacefully.
Before I left, I kissed her forehead and said exactly this: “You were a great mom, and I was the luckiest kid in the world to have you.”
A few days later, Margie found a note Bea had stuffed away in her billfold. It was my handwriting, and it said exactly this: “Thanks for the sandwich. You are a really great mom, and I am the happiest and luckiest kid in the world.”
So I learn to live with this dichotomy of memory, this delicate tension, and my yin-yang dilemma: I had wished she were dead, and I loved her so much. And I see now that the end was exactly as it had to be: life mirroring our innermost dramas, the horror and the love.
And what survives is the love.
40. Whats the name of mothers name?

C. Bea. D. Not mentioned.

More than any other building in the world, the Empire State Building represents the ambition of humans to build towers that reach for the skies. It probably is New Yorks best known building and is prominent on many postcards.
The Empire State Building also features in many films, but the film that made it even more famous than it already was, was the classic King Kong in 1933.
When it was built in the early 1930s on Fifth Avenue, the Empire State Building broke all records and was dubbed “the 8th world wonder”.
The building had 64 elevators (now 73) and was constructed in only 1 year and 45 days. The skyscraper towered over the neighborhood with its height of 381 meters (1250 ft). The Empire State Building is built on a full city block. Much of it was occupied by the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel opening in November 1897 as the citys largest hotel with 1050 rooms. It was one of the most prestigious in New York and attracted upper-class clientele (顾客). At the end of the 1920s, however, the grand and plush design of the hotel had gone out of style and Waldorf-Astoria decided to build a new, larger hotel uptown.
Thanks to an efficient design and standardized work - similar to an assembly line - the building would rise at an average of about four and a half floors a week, faster than any other skyscraper at the time. The building was officially inaugurated on May 1, 1931 in the presence of governor Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The Empire State Building was designed by William Frederick Lamb. The building would have a classical composition of a 5 story base, a large tower with setbacks and a monumental spire. The limestone facade (表面) had little or no ornamentation (装饰).
What makes the design so great is that for all its simplicity and sheer bulk it has a perfect composition(构成) and massing, giving the building a certain grandeur (宏伟).
The building is topped by an enormous spire (塔尖). It was designed as a mooring mast and would enable dirigibles. This proved to be very unpractical, however, due to the instability of zeppelins and after the Hindenburg disaster in 1937,the idea was shelved.
The Empire State Building was one of the last skyscrapers completed in New York before the Great Depression hit the real estate market. But the Great Depression also caused a collapse in the demand for office space. The owners had such a difficult time leasing office space that the building became known as the ‘Empty State Building’. It would take until the end of the 1940s before the real estate market was fully recovered and in the early 1950s the Empire State Building even became the most profitable building in New York City.
43. Which of the following statement is right according to the article?
A. The Empire State Building is absolutely New Yorks best known building.
B. The Empire State Building is famous because many films are shot there.
C. It took 410 days to finish the construction of the Empire State Building.
D. The Empire State Building is also now called the ‘Empty State Building’.
44. Why was the Empire State Building constructed?
A. Because all Americans wanted to build it to represent their ambitions.
B. Because William Frederick Lamb designed it with a monumental spire.
C.Because Americans wanted to build the last skyscraper before the Great Depression.
D. Because Waldorf-Astoria decided to build it as Waldorf-Astoria Hotel was out of style.
45. Which of the following description of the Empire State Building is right?
A. It was built between 1929 and 1933.
B. It was 381meteres high and had 73 elevators.
C. It rose quickly when being constructed.
D. It attracted many upper-class when constructed.
46. What makes the design of the Empire State Building great?
A. The Empire State Building was designed by William Frederick Lamb.
B. The Empire State Building was officially inaugurated by Franklin D. Roosevelt.
C. The composition and massing, giving the building a certain grandeur.
D. The Empire State Building is built on a full city block.

Some people rarely register their cars in the same state three times in a row. They move to different places. Here are some things to consider when making this important decision on where to move.
First decide how far away you can comfortably live from friends and family. Maybe your dream company or beach days all year round are located over a thousand miles from most of your closest relatives. Some people are OK with keeping in touch through email, phone calls, and a once a year visit. But if you know you would miss more frequent gatherings then limit your moving search to a 250 mile radius of where your friends and relatives live. This distance will keep you within a reasonable one days drive from them.
Think of what factors in a new living location are important to you? Do you want to be somewhere with a high variety of jobs? Do you want to be where a specific job market is highly concentrated? Do you want to be where there is a lot of open space and parks or near the excitement of one or more cities?
If you are looking for specific job sectors then go to the home pages in your preferred job sector. They usually list their office locations on these web pages. For any other interests you can do internet searches for things like “Best cities for entertainment” or “Best states for education.”
If you try different locations then look for web pages for those towns, cities, or counties. Many local governments will put up web pages highlighting things like “Doing business here”, “Things to do around here”, or “Our school system.”
Next, figure out the cost of living in that area. If you want to move somewhere it is important to know you can make a decentliving there. Go to websites like Salary.com and see what common salaries are for your occupation in that area. Next, go to real estate web sites to get a feel for what living costs are in your chosen areas.
Finally, use your social networks to contact people living in the areas you want to move to. Email people or send them an instant message asking them. Their answers can confirm your decision or raise red flags you hadnt thought of before.
47. Whats the meaning of the underlined word “decent”？
A. generousB. kind
C. politeD. proper
48. According to the text, what factors must you consider when you want to make a move?
①distance②job market concentrated③entertainment
④interests⑤cost of living ⑥others opinions
A. ①②③④B.①③④⑤⑥
C. ①②③④⑤⑥D. ①②④⑤⑥
49. Which of the following statements is FALSE according to the article?
A. If you miss more frequent gatherings, limit your search to 250 kilometers.
B. Before making a decision of moving, inquire your friends for further information.
C. Some websites list their office locations on their web pages.
D. Many local governments use websites to attract new comers.
50. Whats the best title of the passage?
A. How to Decide Where to Move to
B. When to Decide Where to Move to
C. Why to Decide Where to Move to

四、任务型阅读 (共10小题，每小题１分，满分10分)
请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应的横线上。
Ask yourself “Why do you work so hard?” and “What motivates you to do so?” Most of the readers may utter a single word to answer both the questions:“Family” may lecture me on the importance of family and family relationships. But, what is a family? All of us inherit our physical attributes from our parents. However, when you start interacting with the outside world, you realize that they are not enough to ensure your success, not even your survival. When you find yourself in such a situation, what is it that sustains and supports you? The values passed to you by your family such as patience, care, understanding and commitment etc. instilled in you, differentiates you from the rest. If you are already a successful person, then it only underlies the importance of family and the values inherited by you.
Its not difficult to uncover the importance of family. You may or may not be aware, but your family was the first school you entered, as soon as you arrived in this merciless and cruel world. “Survival of the fittest”, is the golden rule in this world. When you stepped into this world, you were unfit to survive on your own and by the rule a perishable entity. However, your arrival made your family happy and they took you home and from day one, you started learning about love, care and family relationship. Your parents didnt change your wet nappies only to stop you wailing, but because you were uncomfortable with it.
Your family is the environment where you learned to use your faculties and understand and cope with the physical world. It is the place, where you learned how family relationships work, by observing your parents, grandparents, your siblings and rest of the family members deal with each other. You must have enjoyed meeting them on family vacations and family reunions and exchanging family reunion gifts with them.
With time going, you matured and started taking note of other people on the fringe of your family and then of those, outside your family and how your family members interacted with them. It is this point in your life, when you learnt, what is meant by a healthy relationships and how to make a relationship last. You also noticed how your family coped and adjusted with the ups and downs of life and time. Do you remember, whether your family exposed you to these difficult times or were you cocooned in the safety of your family totally, unaware of them?
An individual is known by his or her actions. It is your family that gave you an identity. Whenever you move from one place to another, you carry your family history with you.
Every individual, barring few unfortunates, are similar to the earth enveloped by its environment, which acts as a protective layer and keeps the empty space out. The earth is populated and fertile because of it. For an individual, the importance of family is incalculable.

Sustainable development is a pattern of resource use that aims to meet human needs while preserving the environment so that these needs can be met not only in the present, but also for future generations. The idea of sustainable development has been accepted.
But nowadays, the natural resources will run out; peasants farm crops using much pesticide; more and more private cars are giving out poisonous gas; children go out to work for money while not receiving education; a large quantity of farmland is occupied; urban population is sharply increasing ...
As far as Im concerned, while developing our economy, we should protect the environment. At the same time, the renewable energy, such as solar energy, wind energy should be encouraged to use to take the place of fossil fuels. Meanwhile, children are the future of the world and they must learn academic knowledge, gain experience and learn practical skills through education to create a peaceful and wealthy society.

Some people rarely register their cars in the same state three times in a row. They move to different places. Here are some things to consider when making this important decision on where to move.
First decide how far away you can comfortably live from friends and family. Maybe your dream company or beach days all year round are located over a thousand miles from most of your closest relatives.

Think of what factors in a new living location are important to you? Do you want to be somewhere with a high variety of jobs? Do you want to be where a specific job market is highly concentrated? Do you want to be where there is a lot of open space and parks or near the excitement of one or more cities?
If you are looking for specific job sectors then go to the home pages in your preferred job sector. They usually list their office locations on these web pages. For any other interests you can do internet searches for things like “Best cities for entertainment” or “Best states for education.”
If you try different locations then look for web pages for those towns, cities, or counties. Many local governments will put up web pages highlighting things like “Doing business here”, “Things to do around here”, or “Our school system.”

You may or may not be aware, but your family was the first school you entered, as soon as you arrived in this merciless and cruel world. “Survival of the fittest”, is the golden rule in this world. When you stepped into this world, you were unfit to survive on your own and by the rule a perishable entity. However, your arrival made your family happy and they took you home and from day one, you started learning about love, care and family relationship. Your parents didnt change your wet nappies only to stop you wailing, but because you were uncomfortable with it.
Your family is the environment where you learned to use your faculties and understand and cope with the physical world. It is the place, where you learned how family relationships work, by observing your parents, grandparents, your siblings and rest of the family members deal with each other. You must have enjoyed meeting them on family vacations and family reunions and exchanging family reunion gifts with them.
With time going, you matured and started taking note of other people on the fringe of your family and then of those, outside your family and how your family members interacted with them. It is this point in your life, when you learnt, what is meant by a healthy relationships and how to make a relationship last. You also noticed how your family coped and adjusted with the ups and downs of life and time. Do you remember, whether your family exposed you to these difficult times or were you cocooned in the safety of your family totally, unaware of them?
An individual is known by his or her actions. It is your family that gave you an identity. Whenever you move from one place to another, you carry your family history with you.
Every individual, barring few unfortunates, are similar to the earth enveloped by its environment, which acts as a protective layer and keeps the empty space out. The earth is populated and fertile because of it. For an individual, the importance of family is incalculable.

书面表达
Sustainable development is a pattern of resource use that aims to meet human needs while preserving the environment so that these needs can be met not only in the present, but also for future generations. The idea of sustainable development has been accepted.
But nowadays, the natural resources will run out; peasants farm crops using much pesticide; more and more private cars are giving out poisonous gas; children go out to work for money while not receiving education; a large quantity of farmland is occupied; urban population is sharply increasing ...
As far as Im concerned, while developing our economy, we should protect the environment. At the same time, the renewable energy, such as solar energy, wind energy should be encouraged to use to take the place of fossil fuels. Meanwhile, children are the future of the world and they must learn academic knowledge, gain experience and learn practical skills through education to create a peaceful and wealthy society.
