Delia was a young pianist. Her husband Joe was a talented young painter. They lived in a small flat in New York.
Each of them was taking lessons - Joe with a famous art teacher，and Delia with a great pianist from Germany. They were the best teachers, so lessons were expensive, more than they could really afford，but …when you love your art，nothing’s too much.
But soon, the money began to run out and they couldn’t afford the lessons any more.
Then one day Delia came home and told Joe that she had met a man. The man’s daughter, Sally, wanted to learn the piano — and he was going to pay her $50 an hour.
“Delia,” Joe said, “I’d be much happier if you kept up your lessons. ” Delia said that it didn’t matter. She said, “When I’ve made some money, I’ll start again. When you love your art, nothing’s too much.”
A few days later, Joe came home and proudly took $200 from his pocket. “I met a man from Vermont，” he said, “who bought one of my paintings. And he wants to buy more!”
Then, one day, Joe came home and saw that Delia’s hand was burned. He asked her what had happened. “Oh,” said Delia. “My student, Sally, asked me to pour some coffee for her. So I did - and I dropped the coffee and burned my hand.”
Joe sat down and told Delia to sit down too. “Delia, what have you been doing the last two weeks?” he asked. She took a deep breath and started to cry. “Oh Joe — I couldn’t get any students so I got a job in a coffee shop. And today I burned my hand with hot water. So I can’t work any more. I’m sorry, Joe - but we’ll still have money from the man in Vermont, won’t we?”
Joe looked at her. “There’s no man in Vermont,” he said. “I haven’t sold any paintings. I’ve been working in a drugstore (药店），and today someone came from the coffee shop to buy cream for a woman who’d burned her hand. So when I saw you — well，I guessed.”
They both laughed. “So we’ve told each other lies,” said Joe. “But when you love your art ..,” Delia put her fingers to his lips (嘴唇). “No, Joe,” she said, “just ‘When you love ...’” 54.How did Joe most probably feel when he first knew about Delia’s plan? A. Proud but a bit afraid. B. Excited but a bit angry. C. Curious(好奇的) but a bit sad. D. Cheerful but a bit worried 55.What did Delia want to say in the end?
A. When you love your art, you can’t tell lies. B. When you love someone, you can’t tell lies. C. When you love your art, nothing’s too much. D. When you love someone, nothing’s too much.
56.Which of the following can best describe the coupled life? A. Full of joy B. Full of love. C. Full of lies D. Full of surprise

For his eleventh birthday, Lin was given a gift that would shape his life. On that day his father took him to the Children’s Activity Centre and said he could choose any course that interested him. There was just one requirement(要求): Lin would have to promise to study it for at least one year.
To that point Lin had had many hobbies, but none kept his interest for more than a week or two. His mum once gave him a bag of stamps to encourage stamp collecting. That hobby lasted a week. Then his father got him some paints hoping that Lin's artistic side would shine through. Those paints were now under his bed, still unopened. This time Lin’s parents would let him decide.
Lin's eyes moved down the noticeboard that listed all the courses on offer. He stopped at \He liked the idea of taking beautiful pictures but the notice said that each student

He studied cooking at the Centre every Saturday, and practised at home, making delicious meals for his family. Everyone looked forward to birthdays, when they could eat his cakes. Lin got great satisfaction(满意) from the pleasure his food brought to others.
The months turned to years but his hobby never changed again.
Now Lin is an adult and runs a successful restaurant. When customers say they enjoy his meal, he still gets the same pleasure he did as a child, and remembers the special gift he received all those years ago.
57. The underlined expression \ ”.
A. make him excited B. cause him surprise C. get his attention D. help him see clearly 58. Which of the following best describes Lin's interest in cooking?
A. It only lasted for a short time. B. It seemed to match his character.
C. It was forced on him by his parents. D. It developed slowly over many months. 59. Why did the father have doubts about Lin's choice of cooking?
A. Lin wasn't good at cooking. B. Cooking wasn't very convenient.
C. He didn’t think Lin would continue. D. Cooking wasn't a good hobby for a boy. 60. What's the best title for the passage?
A. A Strict Father B. A Changeable Boy C. The Fun of Cooking D. The Birthday Gift

It’s helpful to think about the following before you take a trip.
Choose where you want to go. When people think to themselves, “I want to take a trip,” usually they have a place in mind. Where is yours? Try to make it a specific (确切的)as possible. “London” is
a lot easier to plan than “England”.
Keep in mind weather conditions, kinds of activity for fun (beaches, culture, shopping”. What clothes are right for you? What is needed there?
Choose when you want to go. This will be decided by a number of things, but mostly your plan. How much time can you take off work?
Do you want to go during the off-season or while tourism is in high season? The off-season will offer discounts(打折), but it will also mean closed doors.
When it comes to weather, do you want to travel in winter or the rainy season? How about when it’s hot?
And there is ticket price---if you’re flying, when is it the cheapest to fly?
Book flights and hotels. Once you’re exactly sure of where, when and how you want to go, book your flight and hotel. For flights, book around two months out. And don't wait till the last minute for your hotels either---you don’t want them to be booked or almost-booked (because then prices rise quickly)
Pack（装进，收拾行李） light. No one has ever said to themselves while on vacation, “I’m so glad I packed all my things.” Leave space for shopping and buying souvenirs. Moreover, travelling with lots of luggage（行李） restricts（限制，约束） your movement and causes discomfort—you’ll be moving around a lot, and it’ll only be cumbersome(笨重的). Only pack what you need. 91.How many tips for travelling are mentioned(提及) in this passage?
92.What should you think about first before you take a trip according to the passage? 93.What should you do if you are sure of where, when and how you want to go? 94.Why should you travel with light luggage?
95.What’s the passage mainly about?（自拟一句作答） 九、书面表达 (10分）
假如你是Kitty，请根据提示给你的朋友Amy写一封邮件，介绍你到扬州的旅行。 要求：意思连贯、符合逻辑、不少于80词。 时间 寒假 交通 长途汽车 地点 扬州 车程 两个半小时 人物 我和父母 事件 参观景点 中国园林：个园(Ge Garden)、何园(He Garden)——欣赏美景，拍照，…… 瘦西湖(Slender West Lake)——…… 其它活动 参观博物馆，购物，品尝美食 感受 玩得开心 …… Dear Amy, How are you? We haven’t seen each other for a long time. I miss you so much.

My friends and I spent a few weeks in London last year. We went in autumn. We think it’s the best season to visit England. The weather is usually quite good and there aren’t too many visitors in October. We did most of our sightseeing on foot. We went to look at the places that all visitors see. What we liked most was going to the theatre. We don’t have the chance to see such wonderful plays at home. A lot of people say English food is very bad. We didn’t think so. It’s true that most of the restaurants are French, Italian or Chinese, but we had some very good meals.

Hi! I’m David. My uncle has been working in Shanghai for more than 20 years. I visited him during the holiday. He has seen the city’s changes. He told me that twenty years ago, the buildings were small and dark. People lived in small rooms and didn’t have enough to eat. But China has developed
quickly in recent years. The new buildings are tall and bright. More and more ring roads have appeared. Many people have moved into modern flats. The traffic is much better than before. Shanghai has successfully hosted the two thousand and ten World Expo. People are living more comfortably. China has made such great progress. I think it is very important to remember the past, live in the present and dream about the future.
