Then came the recital night. The gym was packed with parents. I put Robby up    30   ， thinking that I could    31    his poor performance through my “curtain closer（谢幕）.”

The recital went off smoothly. Then Robby came up on stage. His clothes were wrinkled and his hair was    32    . “Why didnt his mother at least make him comb his hair for this special night？” I thought.

Robby pulled out the piano bench and began. I was not    33    for what I heard next. His fingers were    34    on the keys.Never had I heard Mozart played so well by people of his age. After he ended， everyone was on their feet in    35    applause.

In tears I ran up on stage and    36    my arms around Robby. “Ive never heard you play like that， Robby！ How did you    37    it？”

Robby explained， “Well， Miss Hondorf…remember I told you my mom was sick？…Actually she had cancer and    38    yesterday. She was born deaf， so tonight she could hear me play in heaven. I wanted to make it special.”

第三部分  阅读理解（共10小题;每小题3分，满分30分）

A

It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation， it turns into an argument. We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly， my mother will push the conversation into World War III. Shell talk about my lack of a bright future because I dont plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment， I dont want to do any job related to science， either. In fact， when I was pushed to say that I planned to major（主修）in English and communications， she nearly had a heart attack.

“Why cant you be like my co-workers son？” she bemoans all the time. Her co-workers son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70，000 dollars a year as an engineer. I dont know what to answer except that I simply cant be like Mr. Perfect as Ive called the unnamed co-workers son. I cant be like him. Im the type of person who loves to help out in the community， write until the sun goes down， and most of all， wants to achieve a career because I love it， not because of fame（名声）or salary.

I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. Ive seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6：30 am and usually comes home around 5 pm or even 6 pm. However， I want her to know that by becoming a doctor， it doesnt mean Ill be successful. Id rather follow my dreams and create my own future.

The iPhone has become one of the most popular mobile phones in the United States. An 18-year-o1d student in California has used his knowledge of the device（装置）to create his own business，gaining national recognition for his work.

Vincent Quigg is the CEO of TechWorld. His company is kind of like a hospital for iPhones， specializing in customizing and repairing iPhones.

Bend over， take a deep breath and drink some water for 15 seconds！ This is just one of hundreds of tips you might get if you have hiccups（打嗝）. Hiccups are so mysterious. We really dont know why they start and why they stop.

Everyone has a favorite cure（治愈方法）for a case of the hiccups. Some people think that a good scare is necessary to get well. Others eat a teaspoon of sugar. Still others drink a glass of water with a knife in it. An American man named Jack O Leary claimed to have hiccups 160 million times over a period of eight years. He tried 60，000 cures， but none of them worked. Finally he prayed（祈祷）to Saint Jude， the saint of hopeless cases， and his hiccupping stopped immediately.

It took a British singer eight months to cure his hiccups. People from all over the world wrote him letters with suggestions for getting well. He tried them all， but the hiccups continued. Finally， he drank a “secret” mixture someone had sent him. By that evening his hiccups were gone.

Why did these cures work for these two men？ No one really knows. But people who have studied many cases of hiccups have an idea. Hiccups usually go away if you believe in the cure.

48. Why were hiccups so mysterious？

第Ⅱ卷（非选择题，共60分）

第四部分  写作（共四节，满分60分）

第一节  阅读选择（共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

What do we really mean by being open？ Being open is a kind of invitation to others to come in， to speak and to share. It is important in letting others get to know how we think and feel.

51        If we arent open with others， we wont fully believe in ourselves or others.

Here are a few ways for you to be more open. Make your outside behavior the same with your inside feelings and thoughts.

52        Try to change your questions into statements（陈述句）and talk in the first person so that people will understand you more easily. For example， you might say， “I feel happy that youre here，” instead of， “Are you glad that youre here？”        53        This usually means I dont want to think about it any more.

54        You may want to be more open with close friends， but not with people you dont know well， because you are not sure how someone else will use what they know about you.        55        If we say everything we feel or think to them， they will feel very uncomfortable at times.

In all， being open is a good way for us to get on well with other people， but wed better keep the balance between being open and not being too open.

A. Finally， try not to say， “I dont know.”

B. I have to realize that I have to change something.

C. But a change for you can also mean a change for them.

D. In this way we will be understood and accepted by others.

E. Besides， some people may not be used to too much openness.

F. Share how you really feel about something instead of just opinions.

G. Remember also that it is not suitable to be open with everyone in every situation.

One day， a farmer was walking along a road with his son Thomas. The father said， “Look！ Theres a horseshoe（马蹄铁）. Pick it up.” Thomas said， “It isnt worth the trouble.” His father said nothing but he picked it up    56    （he）. When they got to a nearby town， they    57    （have） a rest. There the farmer sold the horseshoe and he bought some    58    （cherry）.

The father and the son continued    59    （they） way. Its hot， and there wasnt a house or even a tree    60    they could have a rest. Thomas felt    61    thirsty to walk on.

When Thomas    63    （eat） up all the cherries， his father said to him， “   64    you had bent（弯腰）down early to pick up that horseshoe， it would not have been necessary for you to bend so many times for the cherries. He who    65    （do） not worry about the little things will find that he cannot do the great things.”
