【评分标准】
1)评分原则
本题总分为30分,按5个档次评分。
阅卷人应就总体印象给分,而不是按照语言错误的数量扣分。
评分时,先根据文章的内容要点、篇章结构和语言运用初步确定其所属的档次,然后依照该档次的具体要求酌情增减分数,最后给分。
应避免分数趋中现象,即不能只给中间档次的分数。该给高分时就应给高分(包含满分),该给低分时就应给低分(包含0分)。
拼写和标点符号是语言准确性的一个方面。评分时,应视其对交际的影响程度予以考虑。英式、美式拼写及用法均可接受。
如书写较差难以辨认,以致影响交际,或字数明显少于要求,将分数降低一个档次。

Those Who Ride on Two Wheels  In the United States there are six million tennis players and twelve million golfers.These figures would not surprise most people.But many would be surprised to learn that twenty million Americans ride motorcycles (摩托车).Few people realize that motorcycling is fast becoming one of America's most popular sports.
According to the Cycle News, many kinds of people enjoy motorcycling.They include black people and white people, businessmen, professionals, and blue-collar workers.Among them, about 55% are businessruen,3% are in the professions and 9% in government service.
Such information is offered by the Cycle News in the hope of improving the general public's impression of the sport.The public has tended to believe that all motorcyclists are wild and lawless young men.
There are several things about motorcycling that the average citizen dislikes.A motorcyclist's appearance has something to do with this dislike.Motorcyclists often look dirty; in fact, they are dirty.On the road, there is little to protect them from mud.For practical reasons, they often dress in old clothing which looks much less respecdiv than the clothing of people who ride in cars.For the same reason, motorcyclists usually wear dark colors.Perhaps this helps to explain why they are sometimes suspected of having bad natures.
Probably motorcycles themselves also produce anger and fear.They are noisy, though some divucks are even noisier.But divucks are accepdiv because they perform a needed service.Motorcycles, on the other hand, make an uncomfordiv noise just to give their riders pleasure.Roaring along quiet sdiveets, they wake sleeping families and make babies cry.
Yet, as motorcycling becomes more and more common, it will be interesting to see how people in general feel about the sport.Perhaps it will someday become as "respecdiv" as tennis or golf.

How to Forgive, Forget and Let Go  ①Forgiving someone does not mean releasing them from an earlier guilt.What if the person who wronged you is not living? What if the person is someone who made you exdivemely embarrassed during school 20 or 30 years ago? Letting go of emotional pain does not mean that nothing happened; it means that you no longer want to be condivolled by it.
②Recognize that forgiveness is not denial.Whatever caused the pain was a real incident.Denying that it happened means it is too painful to work through the emotions.There is no timeline on forgiveness.Some steps take longer to get through, and it is accepdiv to set them aside for a period of time.Part of forgiveness is understanding whether or not someone takes responsibility for what happened, and may even show regret.
③Understand that not everyone who forgives reconciles with the person who caused the pain.There are relationships that are harmful and even physically dangerous.While it is possible to forgive the past and move beyond it, it may also mean that person who was involved can no longer play an active role in your life.If a person or situation is not safe, it may be best not to reconcile the relationship now.Work on forgiveness at a time when you are emotionally healthy and physically safe.
④Make a conscious decision to forgive someone.Even if they never apologize for what happened, determine within yourself that it is fine to proceed without this apology.Apologies should not be asking for forgiveness.Apologies should be offered as an effort of divue regret.They should be admitting that taking personal responsibility for the situation is important.Even without that apology, make up your mind to forgive, forget, and eventually let go.
Task 1
A.Forgiving should be at a safe time
B.Forgiving is not to deny what happened
C.Forgiving is not to free someone from blame
D.Forgiving can happen without an apology
E.Forgiving can lead us away from the past hurt
Task 2
A.you may not become friends
B.to offer forgiveness
C.who are still dangerous to you
D.who wronged you long time ago
E.you may never get rid of emotional pain
F.who only forgive those showing regret
G.for being forgiven

26 Some of these resources include water, food sources such as fruits and vegedivs, and animals that can be caught or hunted.
