Having lived in the house for so long, we found our kitchen looked old. We decided it was time to   1    the kitchen, and my husband and I were discussing    2     colors. The children, sitting nearby, suddenly all spoke together: “Not the measuring stick.”
“No,” I    3    them. “Not the measuring stick.”
The measuring stick isn’t a (an)   4    stick but the kitchen side of the door between our kitchen and dining room. Along the edge we’ve   5     each child’s growth by making a mark showing his or her   6    on every birthday.

Names and dates show different    7   , and I can tell by the script(手迹) who measured whom.

At the parties, when this door   8    back and forth frequently, friends stop to   9    the names and dates. When we ask if they would like to be always remembered, they usually smile   10    and go back right up into place,    11    to be measured.
Many of those listed on the door are still    12   ; some have stopped. Some remain with us only in   13   . When my mother came to see my eldest daughter graduate from university, we measured her too. It was her last visit to our home.
We haven’t   14    the new kitchen color plan yet, but one thing is certain: whatever color we choose, the back of the kitchen door will always remain   15   , with lots of names and dates in various colors.

his front door in my mailbox.
  18   (fortunate), I forgot all about the birds until the night before Vernon was going to return. What was worse,    19    was already dark when I arrived at his house. I soon found that the key Vernon gave me could not unlock either the front door    20    the back door. I was getting desperate. I kept thinking of    21    Vernon would say when he came back.
I was just going to give up    22    I noticed that one bedroom window was slightly open. I found a barrel and pushed in under the window. As the barrel was very heavy, I made a lot of noise. But in the end, I managed to climb    23    and open the window. 高考网wWw.GaoKw.cOm

I actually had one leg inside the bedroom when I suddenly realized that someone    24  
(shine) a torch up at me. I looked down and saw a policeman and an old lady, one of Vernon’s neighbours. “What are you doing up there?” said the policeman.    25   (feel) like a complete fool, I replied, “I was just going to feed Mr Davies’ birds.”

II 阅 读 (共两节，满分50分)
第一节：阅读理解 (共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Even when you’re extremely busy, you aren’t using your time with 100% efficiency. There are gaps in everyone’s schedule where they aren’t doing anything important. Even if your schedule has no gaps, there is probably lots of time where you aren’t working as fast or as effectively as you possibly could.
Why aren’t you completely efficient? It’s because time isn’t the limiting factor. If it were the limiting factor, people could work non-stop without breaks or any unproductive distractions(消遣). Instead, people, even those who are highly productive, need to take breaks, occasionally procrastinate(拖延) and slow down on tasks throughout the day.
