At one point, my husband and I decided to 37 from our New York apartment to a new home in New Jersey．After we were there a while, our neighbor, whose cat had recently had kittens, asked us if we would like one．We were a little worried about Sam's 38 and how he would handle his turf （地盘） being invaded, but we decided to risk it and agreed to take a kitten．

Then, without any warning．Sam began suffering from convulsions（抽搐）and was diagnosed as having a weak heart．I had no other choice but to have him put down．The pain of making that 42 , however, was nothing compared with what I experienced when I had to leave Sam at the vet（兽医诊所）and walk into our house alone．This time, there was no Sam for Lightning to greet and no way to 43 why she would never see her friend again．
In the days that followed．Lightning seemed 44 She could not tell me in words that she was suffering, but I could see the pain and disappointment in her eyes whenever anyone opened the front door, or the hope whenever she heard a dog 45 ．
The weeks wore on and the cat's 46 seemed to be, lifting．One day as I walked into our living room, I happened to glance down on the floor next to our sofa where we had a sculptured replica （复制品） of Sam that we had bought a few years before．Lying next to the statue, one arm wrapped around the statue's neck, was Lightning, 47 sleeping with her best friend．

Movie magic can defy reality, but actors are inescapably human．They grow and change, and don’t necessarily change for the better．
Harry Potter actors, who are now saying their final goodbyes to their roles, have all become fully-fledged grown-ups, worlds apart from the little kids who began the Hogwarts' adventures in 2001．
While many fans feel sad that the magical franchise is coining to an end, some feel even sadder to see
how much the actors have changed over the years．
"Daniel Radcliffe （who plays Harry Potter） went from being a really cute kid to a thin, pale-looking guy," said Filipino Internet User lealuvy2j．26．"I kind of wish he stayed a kid forever．''
Radcliffe himself doesn't seem to be bothered by his change of appearance．In an interview with GQ magazine last week, he teased himself: "If people find me sexy or cool, it's because they like short, little, nerdy guys．And we do have our niche．"
Meanwhile, actors growing up to be handsome have their headaches．
Harry Melling, who played Potter's cousin Dudley Dursley, told The Telegraph that he was almost recast for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows when producers discovered he' d lost a lot of weight he had as a kid．He was too thin for the part．
"They （the producers） did this double take, 'Oh my God, we are going to have to do something’, and I felt guilty," said Meiling．
Aside from changes in looks, the gradual personality change of child stars is another big concern of audience and producers．
Miley Cyrus began her career at 13 in Disney's hit TV series Hannah Montana．
When Cyrus decided to show her adult personality by releasing "sexy" photos, people began to get uneasy about her．
Reports had it that furious Disney bosses were considering replacing Cyrus with a more clean-cut teen star．
Cyrus finally kept her role after public apologies．But some parents banned their children watching the show．
"My daughter has been banned from watching the show," supermodel Cindy Crawford told ShowbizSpy．"I really don't think Miley Cyrus is much of a role model for my kid．"

Today, the world is rapidly urbanizing．With half of the world population expected to live in cities by the early part of the 21st century, the Shanghai 20## World Expo's focus on a better city bears profound meaning．
What might future cities look like 28 years from now? Here are some scenarios: things to come, things to go．
Zero waste
Waste disposal is one of the biggest headaches for cities．Apart from recyclable waste, everything is buried or incinerated, only to pollute the environment．Plastic waste remains underground for several decades．The world produces much more garbage that it can dispose of．
Now at the Expo, all waste is delivered to a compression station where the waste is sorted, filtered, decontaminated, deodorized and compressed before finally being disposed of at designated spots．In Beijing, people living in the Asuwei area turn their household waste into organic fertilizers which are used to grow plants at residence communities．
No more transportation problems during Spring Festival
The Spring Festival, the most important Chinese holiday when everyone returns home, has caused headaches for millions of Chinese．More than 2 billion people travel at the same time, making obtaining travel tickets and the journey difficult．
But in 28 years．Spring Festival travel may not be a problem at all．China plans to have more than 120,000 kilometers of railway and a rapid transportation network that will serve 90 percent of the population by 2020．And because most of China will be cities, people will not have to go to other places to find a job, so migration will no longer be so large-scale．
Newspapers to disappear
American scholar Philip Meyer predicts that newspaper will come to an end in 2043. Utagawa Reizou, former editor-in-chief of The Mainichi Daily News．believes that the newspaper will be gone in 2030． This kind of prediction may worry those in print news business．In the U．K．, the circulations of national newspapers are declining．Major Japanese newspapers have gone into debt．In the U．S．, declining circulations and ad revenues have forced several newspapers to stop printing paper editions．
Media tycoon Rupert Murdoch thinks the future of media relies on interaction through the Internet．In the future, digital newspapers will be sent to portal web terminals through wirelessly．Readers can discuss issues with journalists and editors．Information will move faster．
Oil to run out
In August 2009, Fatih Birol, chief economist of the International Energy Agency, said that oil is running out faster than expected and that the world will likely feel the tightness in supply in the next five years． Scientists have found substitutes for oil as fuel．Coal．natural gas．solar power, nuclear power and even water can replace oil as sources of energy．Flammable ice reserves alone can support humans for the next 1,000 years．
66．By now, the world population in cities has grown to about _____．
A．6．9 billion B．0．75 billion '
C．3．5 billion D．1．3 billion
67．Which of the following statements is TRUE?

B．People deal with their household waste in an environmental-friendly way in the Asuwei area, Beijing．
C．More than 2 billion people suffer from headaches during the Spring Festival in China．
D．By 2020,90 percent of the population will have to go to other places to find a job．

Part IV Writing (45 marks)
Section A (10 marks)
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
A bicycle helmet is a helmet intended to be worn while riding a bicycle．They are designed to reduce impacts to the skull of a cyclist in falls．However, there is a debate on whether helmets are useful for road cyclists．
The World Health Organization promote the use of helmets as a strategy for preventing people' s heads from being injured by bicycle crashes or falls．Use of cycling helmets is supported by numerous groups in the United States．U．S．-based cycling activist John Forester suggests that helmet wearing could prevent 300 deaths a year in the U．S．out of a total of 1530 preventable deaths．Public Health Law Research reports that there is enough evidence to establish that bicycle helmet laws are an effective public health intervention（干涉） aimed to reduce the number of head-related deaths．Received opinion in some countries is that bicycle helmets are useful and that every cyclist should wear one．Professional bodies elsewhere have agreed, such as the Swiss Council for Accident Prevention．
Mayer Hillman, a transport and road safety analyst from the UK, does not support the use of helmets, reasoning that they are of very limited value in the event of a collision with a car．He compares it to drawing conclusions on whether it is worthwhile to buy lottery tickets．Cyclists' representative groups complain that focus on helmets diverts attention from other issues which are much more important for improving bicycle safety, such as road danger reduction．The UK's largest cyclists' organization, the CTC, believes that the "overall health effects of compulsory helmets are negative．" The same report estimated that universal helmet use would save the life of one child aged 0 to 15 each year．
Up to now, the debate is with no consensus, but an organization has published a review of studies in 2011, saying there is a good deal of evidence that those wearing a helmet are more likely to crash than bareheaded cyclists．
Section B (10 marks)
Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.
I've seen people do all kinds of things to relieve anxiety．Some have a glass of wine at dinner．Others shop or eat．But these are troubling times ?with hurricanes, tsunamis, war, and acts of terrorism —and if drinking, eating, or hitting the mall is your way offending off anxiety over the state of the world, you should know that the bill will eventually come due．And I don't mean just the credit card statement．Such coping methods do nothing to build your inner strength and resiliency （ability to recover quickly from difficult conditions）．Fortunately, there are ways to nurture （encourage the growth or development of） true inner peace when outer peace isn't an option．
A few months ago, a woman I'll call Nancy attended one of my seminars．Nancy had been through hard times; Three years earlier her house had burned down; then her husband's National Guard unit shipped out to Iraq, and when he returned he was angry, depressed, and shocked．The couple got treatment yet grew further apart until, finally, her husband asked for a divorce．Nancy realized she had a choice: She could drown in self-pity or move forward．After seeing how the trauma （emotional shock） of war had torn up her husband, she wanted to make a difference with her life．So, at 35, she enrolled （officially register as a
member） in nursing school．
I think even Nancy was surprised by her resilience．But her leap into a life of greater meaning came from a simple change in outlook．She shifted her focus from her own problems to the difficulties of others．And that one change brought her clarity and peace．
This time of global uncertainty challenges each of us to create our own sense of security．That doesn't mean you need to follow Nancy's lead into a nursing career, but keeping an eye on what really matters will help you maintain your balance when things around you seem to fall apart．
81．List at least three common coping methods when people come down with anxiety．（No more than 7 words）
______________ __________________
82．How did Nancy's husband feel when he returned? （No more than 6 words）
