The professor’s house，big and untidy，stood alone at one end of a huge garden.The place was totally uncared for, quite 36 and overgrown with all sorts of useless things. I 37 my way through bushes and tall weeds to the front door and rang the bell.
I was glad that I had found him. In twenty minutes he 38 me right on all the 39
that had puzzled me. I was on the 40 of leaving when I looked out of his study window and said, “You’re very fond of gardening, I see.”
“No, I’m not,” he said. “ 41 , I love this garden, though. It’s 42 I always wanted it to be. I never touch it at all.”
“It could be made lovely. It 43 a pity to let all this ground go to waste. But perhaps you don’t 44 that way?” said I.
“I don’t. I lived here when I was a child, and I had 45 of gardening then. It was my father’s hobby，you see. Unfortunately, he wasn’t 46 enough to do it himself. My brother and I did all of it between us year after year. There was one right way and many wrong ways. Each blade (叶片) of grass was an enemy to be 47 by hand, not just cut off. I’ve spent a good part of life at work here.”
“I see. You took a dislike to it, and now you’re getting even!”
“I dislike it. Then, of course, I didn’t understand the 48 it had. It used to 49
me. It appeared in my dreams—a mistake here, something not quite straight here, the enemy showing its head in a place I was 50 to have cleaned. The work was too much. It seemed endless. The size of the place was itself a fight to a boy.”
“And now it’s yours，you’re just letting it go to...”
“ 51 ?” he said. “No，I don’t agree with that. This garden and I are now the best friends. I like 52 it grow 53 its own way. I make no demands on it. I never disturb it, and it never disturbs me. It has 54 at last, and so have I.”
“But the path is over grown. It’s inconvenient for you，isn’t it?”
“That’s part of my 55 ,” he laughed. “You can go out the back way. The weeds are shorter there because they don’t get the sun.”
36. A. wild B. crazy C. large D. nice
37. A. lost B. felt C. took D. made
38. A. let B. put C. taught D. explained
39. A. gardening B. plants C. problems D. solution
40. A. time B. point C. permission D. request

43. A. seems B. is C. proves D. sounds
44. A. recognize B. sense C. see D. know
45. A. fond B. short C. free D. enough

第四部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
A
Here are some of the world’s most impressive subways．
The Tokyo Metro and Toei Lines
Features: The Tokyo Metro and Toei lines that compose Tokyo’s massive subway system carry almost 8 million people each day, making it the busiest system in the world. The system is famous for its oshiya--- literally, “pusher”--- who shove passengers into crowded subway cars so the doors can close. And you think your commute is hell．
The Moscow Metro

Features: The Moscow Metro has some of the most beautiful stations in the world. The best of them were built during the Stalinist era and feature chandeliers, marble moldings and elaborate murals. With more than 7 million riders a day, keeping all that marble clean has got to be a burden.
The Hong Kong Metro

Features: The Hong Kong MTR has the distinction of being one of the few subway systems in the world that actually turns a profit. It’s privately owned and uses real estate development along its tracks to increase income and ridership. It also introduced “Octopus cards” that allow people to not only pay their fares electronically, but buy stuff at convenience stores, supermarkets, restaurants and even parking meters. It’s estimated that 95 % of all adults in Hong Kong own an Octopus card.
Shanghai Metro

Features: Shanghai is the third city in China to build a metro system, and it has become the country’s largest in the 12 years since it opened. Shanghai Metro has 142 miles of track and plans to add another 180 miles within five years. By that point, it would be three times larger than Chicago “L”. The system carries about 2.18 million people a day.
The London
Metro
Features: Londoners call their subway the Underground, even though 55 percent of it lies above ground．No matter when you’ve got the oldest mass-transit system in the world, you can call it anything you like. Trains started in1863 and they’ve been running ever since. Some 3 million people ride each day, every one of them remembering to “Mind the gap”.
56. Which one can provide the riders some wonderful decorations at the stations?
A. The Tokyo Metro and Toei Lines B. The Moscow Metro
C. The London Metro D. The Hong Kong MTR
57. We can learn from the passage that Shanghai Metro ________．
A. carries the most people each day

C. may be larger than the Chicago “L” in the future
D. is the busiest in the world
58. How many subways carry more than 5 million people per day?

B
Some people would go through anything just to achieve their dream. Kasia Siwosz is proof. For the final year student on the university women’s tennis team, the road to Berkeley, University of California was met with poor advice and misinformation from her home country and two unsuccessful stops along the way that fell short of expectations.
Born in Poland, Siwosz began playing tennis at seven years old and developed the skills that helped her earn a top-50 ranking among the ITF Junior division (国际网球联会青少年赛).. Siwosz wanted to do more with her life than just play tennis, which led her to seek chances that would also allow her to obtain a top education. While most who grow up in the U.S. are naturally accustomed to the American tradition of collegiate sports, such a custom is not as familiar in a country like Poland. “There’s no collegiate sports in Poland and no culture of sports and academic study there. You can only do one, not both,” Siwosz said.
Her desire to have a quality education led her to America to follow her dream. While Siwosz was talented enough to begin her collegiate tennis career, she could only attend community college because she missed the deadline to apply to four-year schools, mainly due to misinformation provided in her home country of Poland.
When she had earned all her credits and was able to transfer, Siwosz made the decision to attend Baylor in Texas. Her friends from Poland put in a good word for the university, saying that it was a good fit because there were many international players at Baylor. “I thought it would be a good idea, but it really wasn’t what I thought it would be,” Siwosz said. “I wasn’t happy at Baylor. The level of tennis was high, but the academic standards were no match and I just wanted more.”
After one year at Baylor, Siwosz’s luck finally began to change when she made the decision to transfer to Berkeley, which was due in large part to Lee, a former Berkeley student. Lee, who is a keen tennis player himself, met Siwosz four years ago in Texas. “I knew she was unhappy there,” he said. “I saw the opportunity for her to come here.” Siwosz visited Lee in Berkeley. “I ended up loving this place and this school,” Siwosz said. “I came here a lot over the summer, I gave it a shot and I ended up with a Berkeley education and a spot on one of the best college tennis teams in the country.”
59. What does “two unsuccessful stops” (Paragraph 1) refer to?
A. Poland and the U.S.
B. Baylor and Berkeley.
C. The ITF Junior division and the Berkeley tennis team.
D. The community college and Baylor.
60. Why did Siwosz want to leave her homeland for America?
A. Poland had no culture of sports.
B. Berkeley had always been her dream university.
C. She wanted to play tennis and have a good education.
D. She wanted to improve her tennis skills and get a higher ranking.
61. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. How Siwosz realized her dream.
B. How Siwosz left Poland.
C. How Siwosz became a top tennis player.
D. How Siwosz transferred from Baylor to Berkeley.
C
