Immediately I got up and dressed， I stuck my violin under my jacket and went out into the streets to try my 16 . I wandered about for an hour， looking for a likely 17 ， feeling as though I were about to commit a crime. Then I 18 at last under a bridge near the station and decided to have a try.
I felt tense and 19 . It was the first time， after all. I drew the violin from under the jacket like a gun. It was here， in Southampton， with trains rattling overhead， that I was about to 20 myself. One moment I was part of the hurrying crowds， the next I stood apart， my back to the wall， my hat on the 21 before me， the violin under my chin.
The first notes I played were loud and raw， like a declaration of protest， then they settled down and began to run more 22 and to stay more or less in tune. To my 23 ， I was neither arrested nor told to shut up. Indeed， nobody took any 24 at all. Then an old man， without stopping at all， dropped a penny into my 25 as though getting rid of some guilty evidence.
I worked the streets of Southampton for several days， gradually obtaining the truth of the 26 by trial and error. It was not a good thing， for instance， to let the hat fill up with money—the sight could 27 a kindhearted man； nor was it wise to 28 it completely， which could also confuse him， giving him no hint as to where to 29 his money. Placing a couple of pennies in the hat to start the thing going soon became a 30 practice and I made sure， between tunes， to take off most of the earnings， but always leaving two 31 behind.
Old 32 were most generous， and so were women with children， shop girls and barmaids. As for men， heavy drinkers were always willing listeners and so were big guys with muscles. But 33 a man with an expensive hat， briefcase or dog： respectable types were the least 34 of all. Except for retired army officers， who would shout “Why arent you 35 ， young man？” and then would overtip to cover up their confusion.
16. A. violin B. luck
C. skill D. art
17. A. station B. bridge
C. street D. spot
18. A. stopped B. wandered
C. played D. sat 19. A. lost B. excited
C. nervous D. strange
20. A. shame B. show
C. damage D. declare
21. A. pavement B. bridge
C. wall D. road
22. A. angrily B. slowly
C. smoothly D. roughly

C. notice D. rest
25. A. hat B. pocket

A
Forgiving is easy. Forgetting the experience that comes before the forgiveness， however， always remains with us. Choosing to forgive means choosing to let go of the bad or negative emotions that one experiences so that we can live in peace and harmony.
Five years ago I went through a painful divorce. My elder brother， a great believer of our faith， was very angry at my decision to divorce. Despite his response I felt my decision was correct. After two years of arguing over the phone and hurtful words in emails my brother and I ended our friendship in a cold silence.
Out of the blue he visited the same city that I was living in to see our mother. I thought for nights about how to react to his visit. I sought advice from many friends， all of whom said I had done nothing wrong， so it was he who needed to come to me first. However， another friend advised me otherwise， saying， “Choose to be the bigger person here； forgive and forget. Let go and move on.” Though his words gave me courage， I still felt very angry and betrayed. My dear friend gave me a gentle urge and even stayed on the phone when I went over to greet my brother and family. When I did it， I felt so relieved. Peace at last！
Today I am so grateful to my friend for encouraging me. Had I not taken his advice， I wouldnt enjoy the loving relationship that I do now with all of my family. Still， it would be a lie if I said that I didnt think about the past sometimes. The difference is that I do not feel angry. I am at peace and have a greater understanding and acceptance of the whole experience. 36. The underlined phrase “out of the blue” in the third paragraph probably means .
A. with permission B. to ones surprise
C. in advance D. no longer be angry
37. The majority of the authors friends advised her .
A. to forgive and repair their friendship on no condition
B. not to accept his brothers apology unless it was sincere
C. to insist on her brothers making an apology to her ahead of time
D. to forgive her brother before he made an apology
38. The authors purpose of writing this passage is to .
A. give a description of a moving story
B. tell an unforgettable experience with her brother
C. introduce some skills of forgiving
D. share her understanding of forgiveness

Many companies enforce a “dress down Friday” policy for office workers to let their hair down at the end of the week. But according to a new research， for many the opposite effect is achieved as people get stressed about what to wear on their day “off” from the office uniform.
Deadlines and budgets aside， one in ten workers cities dress down Friday as the most stressful time of the week and 15 per cent become so stressed by what to wear they even call in sick.
Nearly a quarter have even been late due to hesitation and one in five has returned home to change after leaving the house.
Careful planning is essential with one third of us beginning to plan our Friday outfit on Thursday lunchtime with one per cent beginning the decisionmaking process as early as Monday evening.
And it seems that “dressing down” requires a lot more effort than meets the eye with an astonishing 43 per cent spending more time on hair， makeup and grooming on a Friday compared to any other day of the working week， with 24 per cent choosing the day to experiment with their look.
This experimentation， which adds an average of fifteen minutes to an individuals morning routine， has also had an effect on our pockets as 50 per cent claim to spend more on their Friday fashion than they do for the remainder of the week.
And it seems that the office is increasingly becoming a catwalk with high heels over four inches， party dresses and mini skirts all seen as acceptable Friday dresses， especially for the 50 per cent of those surveyed who claim to go straight out from work every week.
With 15 per cent of men claiming to have pulled a colleague aside to tell them about a Friday fashion embarrassment， and one in five women admitting to whispering at the water cooler behind a colleagues back， its not surprising that more than one in ten of us has enlisted the advice of a professional stylist over what to wear to work. The study， carried out by leading online fashion retailer very.co.uk， found that regionally， those in Birmingham and the West Midlands are the least confident in choosing their outfits alone， with 53 per cent of respondents asking partners， 38 per cent asking family members and nearly a quarter asking complete strangers for style advice.
39. What are the employees of many companies encouraged to do on the last workday？
A. To dress up in uniform
B. To make up purposefully
C. To get dressed casually
D. To plan on Friday outfit
40. The new policy brings about the following except that .
A. relatively more staff tend to arrive late at offices on Fridays
B. office workers get work done more efficiently on Fridays
C. some employees feel at a loss what to wear on Fridays
D. employers are considering buying more clothes for Fridays
41. This passage is written for the purpose of .
A. making commercials for a British fashion retailer
B. highlighting the negative effect of the Friday dressing policy
C. advising office workers on their appropriate fashion styles
D. explaining what a “dress down Friday” policy really means
C
We see few customers in Leas Antiquarian Booksellers， less than halfdozen a day on average. There is a flurry （紧张）of activity in September when the students come to buy copies of the new years set texts； another in May when they bring them back after the exams. At other times of the year we can go days without seeing a client. More commonly visitors to the shop are people who， having heard about us from a friend of a friend， and finding themselves near Cambridge， have made a roundabout way. They have expectation on their faces as they step into the shop， and not infrequently apologize for disturbing us. They are nice people， as quiet and as friendly as the books themselves. But mostly it is just Father， me and the books.
How do they make ends meet？ You might think， if you saw how few customers come and go. But you see， the shop is， in financial terms， just a sideline. The proper business takes place elsewhere. We make our living on the basis of perhaps half a dozen deals a year. This is how it works： Father knows all the worlds great collectors， and he knows the worlds great collections. If you were to watch him at the auctions （拍卖会）or book fairs that he attends frequently， you would notice how often he is approached by quietly spoken， quietly dressed individuals， who draw him aside for a quiet word. Their eyes are anything but quiet. Does he know of... They ask him， and Has he ever heard whether... A book will be mentioned. Father answers vaguely. It doesnt do to build up hope. These things usually lead nowhere. But on the other hand， if he were to heat anything... And if he doesnt already have it， he makes a note of the persons address in a little green notebook. Then nothing happens for quite some time. But later—a few months or many months， there is no knowing—at another auction or book fair， seeing a certain other person， he will inquire， very hesitantly， whether... And again the book is mentioned. More often than not， it ends there. But sometimes， following the conversations， there may be an exchange of letters. Father spends a great deal of time composing letters. In French， German， Italian， even occasionally Latin. Nine times out of ten the answer is a polite twoline refusal. But sometimes—half a dozen times a year—the reply is the beginning of a journey in which Father collects a book here， and delivers it there. He is rarely gone for more than fortyeight hours. Six times a year. This is our livelihood. The shop itself makes next to no money. It is a place to write and receive letters. A place to while away the hours waiting for the next international book fair. I dont pretend reality is the same for everyone—the shop is the very heart of the affair. It is a store of books， a place of safety for all the volumes， once so lovingly written， that at present no one seems to want.
42. The fact that customers make an apology after stepping into the shop indicates that .
A. they have put the booksellers to some trouble
B. they are such nice and friendly people
C. the bookshop has few customers and is very quiet
D. they come to the bookshop with no intention of buying books
43. The underlined word “sideline” in the second paragraph probably means an activity .
A. one is not skilled in
B. the source of ones life depends on
C. that can bring someone a large sum of money
D. one does besides his main business for extra money
44. Why does the authors father answer other collectors questions vaguely when attending auctions or book fairs？
A. Because he is not familiar with these collectors.
B. Because he thinks the price they give is a bit low.
C. Because he is not sure whether he can find the book.
D. Because he would like to possess the book by himself.
45. What can we learn from the passage？
A. The bookshop has been running in the red.
B. The bookshop is a good place for the author to read.
C. The author and his father have a deep affection for the bookshop.
D. The authors father possesses ample collections that others need.
D
Ive been writing for most of my life. The book Writing Without Teachers introduced me to one distinction （区别） and one practice that has helped my writing processes tremendously. The distinction is between the creative mind and the critical mind. While you need to employ both to get to a finished result， they cannot work in parallel no matter how much we might like to think so.
Trying to criticize writing on the fly is possibly the single greatest barrier to writing that most of us encounter. If you are listening to that 5th grade English teacher correct your grammar while you are trying to capture a fleeting （稍纵即逝的） thought， the thought will die. If you capture the fleeting thought and simply share it with the world in raw form， no one is likely to understand. You must learn to create first and then criticize if you want to make writing the tool for thinking that it is. The practice that can help you past your learned bad habits of trying to edit as you write is what Elbow calls “free writing.” In free writing， the objective is to get words down on paper nonstop， usually for 1520 minutes. No stopping， no going back， no criticizing. The goal is to get the words flowing. As the words begin to flow， the ideas will come from the shadows and let themselves be captured on your notepad or your screen.
Now you have raw materials that you can begin to work with using the critical mind that youve persuaded to sit on the side and watch quietly. Most likely， you will believe that this will take more time than you actually have and you will end up staring blankly at the pages as the deadline draws near.
Instead of staring at a blank start filling it with words no matter how bad. Halfway through your available time， stop and rework your raw writing into something closer to finished product. Move back and forth until you run out of time and the final result will most likely be far better than your current practices.
46. When the author says the creative mind and the critical mind “cannot work in parallel” in the writing process， he means .
A. no one can be both creative and critical
B. they cannot be regarded as equally important
C. they are in constant conflict with each other
D. one cannot use them at the same time
47. What prevents people from writing on is .
A. putting their ideas in raw form
B. attempting to edit as they write
C. ignoring grammatical soundness
D. trying to capture fleeting thoughts
48. What is the chief objective of the first stage of writing？
A. To organize ones thoughts logically.
B. To choose an appropriate topic.
C. To get ones ideas down.
D. To collect raw materials.
49. One common concern of writers about “free writing” is that .
A. it overstresses the role of the creative mind
B. it takes too much time to edit afterwards
C. it may bring about too much criticism
D. it does not help them to think clearly
50. In what way does the critical mind help the writer in the writing process？
A. It allows him to sit on the side and observe.
B. It helps him to come up with new ideas.
C. It saves the writing time available to him.
D. It improves his writing into better shape.

By the logic （逻辑）of geography， the continent to Australia should have been populated with Asians. Instead， by an accident of history， Australia has been mainly populated with Westerners.
Sadly， no major Australian newspaper or expert commented. This made me aware that Australians are reluctant to face Australias painful new geopolitical realities.
Against this background， the release of the Asian Century White Paper is timely. It should provide a sharp wakeup call to the Australian population that Australias destiny（命运）is now firmly tied to Asia. Julia Gillard is right in saying， “The transformation of the Asian region into the economic powerhouse of the world is not only unstoppable， it is gathering pace.”
One truly impressive part of the paper is the data it provides on Asias rise. It notes. For example， that “in the past 20 years， China and India have almost tripled（增三倍）their share of the global economy and increased their economic size almost six times over. By 2025， the region as a whole will account for almost half the worlds output.”
In this Asian century， as Western power gets weak steadily， Australia will be left “beached” alone as the only Western country （together with New Zealand） in Asia. Twentytwo million Australians will have to learn to deal with 3.5 billion Asians with great care and sensitivity.
Ignorance（无知）about Asia could prove to be fatal（致命的） for Australias longterm future. This is why the report is right in focusing on Australian misunderstanding of Asia.
Sadly， this kind of terrible ignorance may be a result of Australian education. The report says， “Only a small proportion of Year 12 students study anything about Asia in the subjects of history， literature， geography， economics， politics and the arts under existing statebased curriculums.” Worse， only 5 per cent of each Australian groups study any kind of Asian language.
Learning Asian languages would open windows to Asian cultural and political sensitivities. The time for Australians to think deeply about their Asian destiny has arrived. The sooner Australia adjusts to its new Asian destiny， the less painful the adjustment will prove to be.
Title： Its 51. to accept our place in Asian region
52. 53. speaking， Australia is close to Asia， yet few Australians are willing to face Australias new geopolitical 54. .
Release of the white paper Aim： To tell Australians that their 55. definitely has much to do with Asia.
Cause： Asia has 56. the economic powerhouse of the world.
57. ： China and India have tripled their share of the global economy and the region will account for half the worlds output by 2025.
Writers opinions
Australians will be lonely if they dont learn to deal with 3.5 billion Asians.
Australian 58. ， in part， is responsible for their ignorance about Asia.
Its right for the paper to 59. on Australian misunderstanding of Asia.
Its high time that Asia languages were 60. to Australian children.
五、书面表达（满分25分）
61. 阅读下面短文，然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
Feng Jicai， born in Tianjin in 1942， is a highly accomplished writer， known for his depictions of intellectuals lives and the historical stories of Tianjin， where he has been living for more than 40 years. In recent years， while serving as executive chairman of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles， and chairman of the Tianjin Writers Association， Feng has dedicated most of his time and energy to the preservation of Chinas ethnic and folk culture， trying to save the countrys vanishing cultural memories.
Feng frequently published articles in newspapers， explaining his aims and beliefs to the local residents. He wrote， “Cultural relics are dead， but culture is living in the historical buildings. A city without culture is a city without root.”
In December 1999， Guyi Street， one of the oldest streets in Tianjin， was in the process of being demolished. On this street， built during the Yuan Dynasty， there were many famous shops， such as Qianxiangyi， Ruifuxiang， Shanxi Guild House， and the General Chamber of Commerce of Tianjin. Again， Feng called for volunteers to record the street on videotapes， and collect oral history from local residents. In February 2000， a set of postcards was published with Guyi Street as the theme， attracting long lines of purchasers. With Fengs efforts， the destruction plan for the street was finally changed， saving some of the buildings there.
Acting on Fengs proposal， a nationwide heritage rescue program launched a general survey of Chinas folk cultures in 2003， aiming to catalog villagelevel art， songs， legends， dress and folk customs before they die off with their practitioners. A wide range of methods were adopted， including text， audio and video recording as well as photography.
Two severe problems in the rescue program were the lack of cultural workers and funds. Feng sold his own paintings twice to raise funds for the foundation to support the investigation of fine arts folk legacies in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces. Besides， he also calls for help from NGOs （非政府组织，非营利性组织） everywhere. Feng was hired as a consultant of the State Council in 2008 for his outstanding contributions to the work of protecting cultural relics.

五、One possible version：
The passage mainly tells us the importance of protecting traditional Chinese culture， which is challenged or facing extinction because of the developing society and changing lifestyle. Besides， China is nationwide sparing no efforts to do it.
The protection of national and folk culture is of great significance to Chinese cultural diversity and also to the harmonious development between local economic and social development. It is reported that the Guangdong government pays special attention to protecting Chaoju，a local drama born in Chaozhou in the eastern Guangdong province.
In my opinion， some measures should be taken to protect traditional culture effectively. To start with， we should make a law to regulate the societys performance. Besides， we should draw more peoples attention to it， for the more they know about the importance of culture protection， the stronger the support we can get from the public.
In a word， it is high time for us to treasure and develop our own valuable culture.

Five years ago I went through a painful divorce. My elder brother， a great believer of our faith， was very angry at my decision to divorce. Despite his response I felt my decision was correct. After two years of arguing over the phone and hurtful words in emails my brother and I ended our friendship in a cold silence.
Out of the blue he visited the same city that I was living in to see our mother. I thought for nights about how to react to his visit. I sought advice from many friends， all of whom said I had done nothing wrong， so it was he who needed to come to me first. However， another friend advised me otherwise， saying， “Choose to be the bigger person here； forgive and forget. Let go and move on.” Though his words gave me courage， I still felt very angry and betrayed. My dear friend gave me a gentle urge and even stayed on the phone when I went over to greet my brother and family. When I did it， I felt so relieved. Peace at last！
Today I am so grateful to my friend for encouraging me. Had I not taken his advice， I wouldnt enjoy the loving relationship that I do now with all of my family. Still， it would be a lie if I said that I didnt think about the past sometimes. The difference is that I do not feel angry. I am at peace and have a greater understanding and acceptance of the whole experience. 36. The underlined phrase “out of the blue” in the third paragraph probably means .
A. with permission B. to ones surprise
C. in advance D. no longer be angry
37. The majority of the authors friends advised her .
A. to forgive and repair their friendship on no condition
B. not to accept his brothers apology unless it was sincere
C. to insist on her brothers making an apology to her ahead of time
D. to forgive her brother before he made an apology
38. The authors purpose of writing this passage is to .
A. give a description of a moving story
B. tell an unforgettable experience with her brother
C. introduce some skills of forgiving
D. share her understanding of forgiveness

Many companies enforce a “dress down Friday” policy for office workers to let their hair down at the end of the week. But according to a new research， for many the opposite effect is achieved as people get stressed about what to wear on their day “off” from the office uniform.
Deadlines and budgets aside， one in ten workers cities dress down Friday as the most stressful time of the week and 15 per cent become so stressed by what to wear they even call in sick.
Nearly a quarter have even been late due to hesitation and one in five has returned home to change after leaving the house.
Careful planning is essential with one third of us beginning to plan our Friday outfit on Thursday lunchtime with one per cent beginning the decisionmaking process as early as Monday evening.
And it seems that “dressing down” requires a lot more effort than meets the eye with an astonishing 43 per cent spending more time on hair， makeup and grooming on a Friday compared to any other day of the working week， with 24 per cent choosing the day to experiment with their look.
This experimentation， which adds an average of fifteen minutes to an individuals morning routine， has also had an effect on our pockets as 50 per cent claim to spend more on their Friday fashion than they do for the remainder of the week.
And it seems that the office is increasingly becoming a catwalk with high heels over four inches， party dresses and mini skirts all seen as acceptable Friday dresses， especially for the 50 per cent of those surveyed who claim to go straight out from work every week.
With 15 per cent of men claiming to have pulled a colleague aside to tell them about a Friday fashion embarrassment， and one in five women admitting to whispering at the water cooler behind a colleagues back， its not surprising that more than one in ten of us has enlisted the advice of a professional stylist over what to wear to work. The study， carried out by leading online fashion retailer very.co.uk， found that regionally， those in Birmingham and the West Midlands are the least confident in choosing their outfits alone， with 53 per cent of respondents asking partners， 38 per cent asking family members and nearly a quarter asking complete strangers for style advice.
39. What are the employees of many companies encouraged to do on the last workday？
A. To dress up in uniform
B. To make up purposefully
C. To get dressed casually
D. To plan on Friday outfit
40. The new policy brings about the following except that .
A. relatively more staff tend to arrive late at offices on Fridays
B. office workers get work done more efficiently on Fridays
C. some employees feel at a loss what to wear on Fridays
D. employers are considering buying more clothes for Fridays
41. This passage is written for the purpose of .
A. making commercials for a British fashion retailer
B. highlighting the negative effect of the Friday dressing policy
C. advising office workers on their appropriate fashion styles
D. explaining what a “dress down Friday” policy really means
C
We see few customers in Leas Antiquarian Booksellers， less than halfdozen a day on average. There is a flurry （紧张）of activity in September when the students come to buy copies of the new years set texts； another in May when they bring them back after the exams. At other times of the year we can go days without seeing a client. More commonly visitors to the shop are people who， having heard about us from a friend of a friend， and finding themselves near Cambridge， have made a roundabout way. They have expectation on their faces as they step into the shop， and not infrequently apologize for disturbing us. They are nice people， as quiet and as friendly as the books themselves. But mostly it is just Father， me and the books.
How do they make ends meet？ You might think， if you saw how few customers come and go. But you see， the shop is， in financial terms， just a sideline. The proper business takes place elsewhere. We make our living on the basis of perhaps half a dozen deals a year. This is how it works： Father knows all the worlds great collectors， and he knows the worlds great collections. If you were to watch him at the auctions （拍卖会）or book fairs that he attends frequently， you would notice how often he is approached by quietly spoken， quietly dressed individuals， who draw him aside for a quiet word. Their eyes are anything but quiet. Does he know of... They ask him， and Has he ever heard whether... A book will be mentioned. Father answers vaguely. It doesnt do to build up hope. These things usually lead nowhere. But on the other hand， if he were to heat anything... And if he doesnt already have it， he makes a note of the persons address in a little green notebook. Then nothing happens for quite some time. But later—a few months or many months， there is no knowing—at another auction or book fair， seeing a certain other person， he will inquire， very hesitantly， whether... And again the book is mentioned. More often than not， it ends there. But sometimes， following the conversations， there may be an exchange of letters. Father spends a great deal of time composing letters. In French， German， Italian， even occasionally Latin. Nine times out of ten the answer is a polite twoline refusal. But sometimes—half a dozen times a year—the reply is the beginning of a journey in which Father collects a book here， and delivers it there. He is rarely gone for more than fortyeight hours. Six times a year. This is our livelihood. The shop itself makes next to no money. It is a place to write and receive letters. A place to while away the hours waiting for the next international book fair. I dont pretend reality is the same for everyone—the shop is the very heart of the affair. It is a store of books， a place of safety for all the volumes， once so lovingly written， that at present no one seems to want.
42. The fact that customers make an apology after stepping into the shop indicates that .
A. they have put the booksellers to some trouble
B. they are such nice and friendly people
C. the bookshop has few customers and is very quiet
D. they come to the bookshop with no intention of buying books
43. The underlined word “sideline” in the second paragraph probably means an activity .
A. one is not skilled in
B. the source of ones life depends on
C. that can bring someone a large sum of money
D. one does besides his main business for extra money
44. Why does the authors father answer other collectors questions vaguely when attending auctions or book fairs？
A. Because he is not familiar with these collectors.
B. Because he thinks the price they give is a bit low.
C. Because he is not sure whether he can find the book.
D. Because he would like to possess the book by himself.
45. What can we learn from the passage？
A. The bookshop has been running in the red.
B. The bookshop is a good place for the author to read.
C. The author and his father have a deep affection for the bookshop.
D. The authors father possesses ample collections that others need.
D
Ive been writing for most of my life. The book Writing Without Teachers introduced me to one distinction （区别） and one practice that has helped my writing processes tremendously. The distinction is between the creative mind and the critical mind. While you need to employ both to get to a finished result， they cannot work in parallel no matter how much we might like to think so.
Trying to criticize writing on the fly is possibly the single greatest barrier to writing that most of us encounter. If you are listening to that 5th grade English teacher correct your grammar while you are trying to capture a fleeting （稍纵即逝的） thought， the thought will die. If you capture the fleeting thought and simply share it with the world in raw form， no one is likely to understand. You must learn to create first and then criticize if you want to make writing the tool for thinking that it is. The practice that can help you past your learned bad habits of trying to edit as you write is what Elbow calls “free writing.” In free writing， the objective is to get words down on paper nonstop， usually for 1520 minutes. No stopping， no going back， no criticizing. The goal is to get the words flowing. As the words begin to flow， the ideas will come from the shadows and let themselves be captured on your notepad or your screen.
Now you have raw materials that you can begin to work with using the critical mind that youve persuaded to sit on the side and watch quietly. Most likely， you will believe that this will take more time than you actually have and you will end up staring blankly at the pages as the deadline draws near.
Instead of staring at a blank start filling it with words no matter how bad. Halfway through your available time， stop and rework your raw writing into something closer to finished product. Move back and forth until you run out of time and the final result will most likely be far better than your current practices.
46. When the author says the creative mind and the critical mind “cannot work in parallel” in the writing process， he means .
A. no one can be both creative and critical
B. they cannot be regarded as equally important
C. they are in constant conflict with each other
D. one cannot use them at the same time
47. What prevents people from writing on is .
A. putting their ideas in raw form
B. attempting to edit as they write
C. ignoring grammatical soundness
D. trying to capture fleeting thoughts
48. What is the chief objective of the first stage of writing？
A. To organize ones thoughts logically.
B. To choose an appropriate topic.
C. To get ones ideas down.
D. To collect raw materials.
49. One common concern of writers about “free writing” is that .
A. it overstresses the role of the creative mind
B. it takes too much time to edit afterwards
C. it may bring about too much criticism
D. it does not help them to think clearly
50. In what way does the critical mind help the writer in the writing process？
A. It allows him to sit on the side and observe.
B. It helps him to come up with new ideas.
C. It saves the writing time available to him.
D. It improves his writing into better shape.
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。
By the logic （逻辑）of geography， the continent to Australia should have been populated with Asians. Instead， by an accident of history， Australia has been mainly populated with Westerners.
Sadly， no major Australian newspaper or expert commented. This made me aware that Australians are reluctant to face Australias painful new geopolitical realities.
Against this background， the release of the Asian Century White Paper is timely. It should provide a sharp wakeup call to the Australian population that Australias destiny（命运）is now firmly tied to Asia. Julia Gillard is right in saying， “The transformation of the Asian region into the economic powerhouse of the world is not only unstoppable， it is gathering pace.”
One truly impressive part of the paper is the data it provides on Asias rise. It notes. For example， that “in the past 20 years， China and India have almost tripled（增三倍）their share of the global economy and increased their economic size almost six times over. By 2025， the region as a whole will account for almost half the worlds output.”
In this Asian century， as Western power gets weak steadily， Australia will be left “beached” alone as the only Western country （together with New Zealand） in Asia. Twentytwo million Australians will have to learn to deal with 3.5 billion Asians with great care and sensitivity.
Ignorance（无知）about Asia could prove to be fatal（致命的） for Australias longterm future. This is why the report is right in focusing on Australian misunderstanding of Asia.
Sadly， this kind of terrible ignorance may be a result of Australian education. The report says， “Only a small proportion of Year 12 students study anything about Asia in the subjects of history， literature， geography， economics， politics and the arts under existing statebased curriculums.” Worse， only 5 per cent of each Australian groups study any kind of Asian language.
Learning Asian languages would open windows to Asian cultural and political sensitivities. The time for Australians to think deeply about their Asian destiny has arrived. The sooner Australia adjusts to its new Asian destiny， the less painful the adjustment will prove to be.
Title： Its 51. to accept our place in Asian region
52. 53. speaking， Australia is close to Asia， yet few Australians are willing to face Australias new geopolitical 54. .
Release of the white paper Aim： To tell Australians that their 55. definitely has much to do with Asia.
Cause： Asia has 56. the economic powerhouse of the world.
57. ： China and India have tripled their share of the global economy and the region will account for half the worlds output by 2025.
Writers opinions
Australians will be lonely if they dont learn to deal with 3.5 billion Asians.
Australian 58. ， in part， is responsible for their ignorance about Asia.
Its right for the paper to 59. on Australian misunderstanding of Asia.
Its high time that Asia languages were 60. to Australian children.
五、书面表达（满分25分）
61. 阅读下面短文，然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
Feng Jicai， born in Tianjin in 1942， is a highly accomplished writer， known for his depictions of intellectuals lives and the historical stories of Tianjin， where he has been living for more than 40 years. In recent years， while serving as executive chairman of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles， and chairman of the Tianjin Writers Association， Feng has dedicated most of his time and energy to the preservation of Chinas ethnic and folk culture， trying to save the countrys vanishing cultural memories.
Feng frequently published articles in newspapers， explaining his aims and beliefs to the local residents. He wrote， “Cultural relics are dead， but culture is living in the historical buildings. A city without culture is a city without root.”
In December 1999， Guyi Street， one of the oldest streets in Tianjin， was in the process of being demolished. On this street， built during the Yuan Dynasty， there were many famous shops， such as Qianxiangyi， Ruifuxiang， Shanxi Guild House， and the General Chamber of Commerce of Tianjin. Again， Feng called for volunteers to record the street on videotapes， and collect oral history from local residents. In February 2000， a set of postcards was published with Guyi Street as the theme， attracting long lines of purchasers. With Fengs efforts， the destruction plan for the street was finally changed， saving some of the buildings there.
Acting on Fengs proposal， a nationwide heritage rescue program launched a general survey of Chinas folk cultures in 2003， aiming to catalog villagelevel art， songs， legends， dress and folk customs before they die off with their practitioners. A wide range of methods were adopted， including text， audio and video recording as well as photography.
Two severe problems in the rescue program were the lack of cultural workers and funds. Feng sold his own paintings twice to raise funds for the foundation to support the investigation of fine arts folk legacies in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces. Besides， he also calls for help from NGOs （非政府组织，非营利性组织） everywhere. Feng was hired as a consultant of the State Council in 2008 for his outstanding contributions to the work of protecting cultural relics.

五、One possible version：
The passage mainly tells us the importance of protecting traditional Chinese culture， which is challenged or facing extinction because of the developing society and changing lifestyle. Besides， China is nationwide sparing no efforts to do it.
The protection of national and folk culture is of great significance to Chinese cultural diversity and also to the harmonious development between local economic and social development. It is reported that the Guangdong government pays special attention to protecting Chaoju，a local drama born in Chaozhou in the eastern Guangdong province.
In my opinion， some measures should be taken to protect traditional culture effectively. To start with， we should make a law to regulate the societys performance. Besides， we should draw more peoples attention to it， for the more they know about the importance of culture protection， the stronger the support we can get from the public.
In a word， it is high time for us to treasure and develop our own valuable culture.
