My Experience in a Free School
At first I couldn't believe it! There were no 41 in rows; no bells rang; no one had to go to 42. Although we all lived “in”, 43
made us go to bed at a certain time; there was no “lights out”.
The 44 thing was that practically all the students went to class, 45 very few people stayed up late at night. Only the new people stayed up or 46 class. The new ones always went wild at first, but this never lasted long. The 47 took some getting used to. Our teachers treated us like 48 ; never did we have to 49 “stand up”, “sit down”, “speak out”. I don't 50 one student who didn't try his best.
The subjects were the same as those in 51 school, but what a difference in the approach(方式)！For example, in botany(植物学) we had 52 classes in the spring or fall, but instead we 53 two gardens, a vegetable garden and a flower garden. Then in winter we each studied a few 54 things about what we had
grown. In math, the students built three different kinds of storerooms - small ones, but usable. They did this instead of having lessons in the classroom. They really had a 55 time too, designing everything, drawing the blueprints, figuring out(计算出) the angles(角度) and so on. I didn't take 56. I can't stand it! Besides, I could do the basic things with numbers. That's 57 !
On the whole, I think I am a 58 person for having gone to the school. I can read and write as well as anyone else my age, and I can think better. That's probably a real big 59 between the free school and regular school-the amount of 60 .
41. A. desks B. lights C. students D. buildings
42. A. home B. bed C. class D. work
43. A. anybody B. nobody C. teachers D. parents

三、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
My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life, “Kemmons, you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to ge t it.”
At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again. Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk again if I wanted to badly enough. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her.
A year later, I returned to school — walking on my own!
When the Great Depression (大萧条) hit, my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support the family. At that moment, I was determined never to be poor again.
My real turning point occurred on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was angry that the second-class hotel charged an extra $2 for each child. That was too expensive for the average American family. I decided to open a motel (汽车旅馆) for families that would never charge extra for children. There were plenty of doubters at that time.
Not surprisingly, mom was one of my strongest supporters. We experienced a lot of challenges. But with my mother’s words deeply rooted in my soul, I never doubted we would succeed. Fifteen years later,
we had the largest hotel system in the world — Holiday Inn. In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $ 1 billion a year.
You may not have started out life in the best situation. But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you.
61. What Kemmons’ mom often told him during his childhood was ______.
A. caring
B. moving
C. encouraging
D. interesting
62. According to the author, who played the most important role in making him walk back to school again?
A. Doctors.
B. Nurses.
C. Friends.
D. Mom.
63. What caused Kemmons to start a motel by himself?
A. His terrible experience in the hotel.
B. His previous business success of various levels.
C. His mom’s support.
D. His wife’s suggestion.
64. Which of the following bes t describes Kemmons’ mother?
A. Modest, helpful, and hard-working.
B. Loving, supportive and strong-willed.
C. Careful, helpful and beautiful.
D. Strict, sensitive and supportive.

A listener from Brazil recently wrote to us asking for some advice. He's planning a trip to the United States, and wanted to know about the best places to travel in America. Today, we tell about the most popular places to visit in the country, and hear about what makes them so appealing.
Each of the 50 states in America has interesting things to offer visitors, but some are more popular than others. Washington D.C. is famous for its historical places, like the White House and the Lincoln Memorial. Visitors to Los Angeles, California can see the Hollywood Walk of Fame or shop at stores on Rodeo Drive where they may see a star or two. The Grand Canyon in Arizona appeals to hikers, climbers and nature lovers as does Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming.
Trip Advisor is a website where people can write reviews about their travel experiences. There are also ratings for hotels, restaurants, and places people have visited around the world. Every year, Trip Advisor makes a list of the top 25 cities to visit in
the United States. The results are based on the opinions of visitors to the website.
America's major cities are still the most popular destinations for visitors. This is because of the good quality of services they provide tourists.
"They do a great job of giving travelers what they want while they're on vacation. They cater to (迎合) every type of traveler need. So whether you're traveling alone, you're traveling for business, you're traveling with your family – whatever it is, those destinations are really tuned in to (与…一致)delivering amazing experiences and just a lot of different opportunities when you're there." said Brooke Ferencsik, a tourist from Germany.

“Image is everything．” An entire industry has been built upon the assumption that image
is everything, but when it comes down to it, an appealing image is not enough．If there is no substance（事实）behind the image, the product, service or person will fail eventually．First of all, one should consider how important image is in the selling of products and services．Advertising agencies have raised the art of creating an image to a state of near perfection．Public concept of that product or service is certainly managed by the images created by the advertising
agencies．But if the product or service does not live up to the image that was created, the customer will be very dissatisfied and possibly ask for their money back．For example, the Arthur Andersen accounting firm had spent decades building up an image of trustworthiness．But the recent scandal （丑闻）
showed that behind that image, it cheated in business practices．Despite the previous positive image, the firm is being accused of criminal actions and it will probably not survive as a business unit．Although the image had been nearly perfect, the reality behind the image has led to the downfall of the world famous accounting firm．
Similarly, personal advisers can build up a public image for politicians and movie stars．Putting out positive news releases, making sure that only the best photographs are published, and ensuring that the person is seen in all the right places can build up a very positive image in the view of the general commons．But once again, history is filled with examples of both politicians and movie stars that fell from grace like the story of the Hollywood actor giving in to the pressures of fame and fortune．With people, just as with products and services, image is certainly important, but without positive substance behind the image, failure is close．
To summarize, it is clear that an appealing image is extremely important to success, whether that image is related to selling a product or service or to the “selling” of a person．But image is only half of the equation(等式)．What lies behind that image is every bit as important as the image itself ——the person or product must deliver on that image or there is little chance for long-term success．
73. The downfall of the Arthur Andersen accounting firm is due to ________.
A. its dishonesty in business
B. its previous images
C. its bad management
D. its poor service
74. Why did some famous people fall from grace?
A. Their images were not well built up.
B. They paid little attention to fame and fortune.
C. They felt much pressure from the public.
D. They failed to live up to their images.
75. The structure of the passage is_________.
A: Argument P: Point C: Conclusion
76. The author tries to argue that ____________.
A. image is the key to success
B. image creates everything
C. truth and image are equally important
D. truth is unlikely ever to be equaled
E
Everyone has some opinion about history, no matter how ill-informed. Walking through a parking lot in a university in Miami, I noticed a bumper sticker (车尾贴纸) that said, “Ruin a Liberal’s (自由派) Day—Recite Historical Fact!” But Marwick thinks this sort of opinion is just fine; it is unavoidable(不可避免的) that we all feel a sense of ownership of history.
History never stands still, a s Marwick says at the beginning of The Nature of History, “The shape and content of history, too, vary according to the methods and materials available to different generations.” Marwick’s goal is to explain, in plain language, t he changes in the way history is done up to the present; one method is to connect history with advances in the physical sciences. Marwick examines a number of case studies toward the end of the book. He ends the book with a refreshing collection of aphorisms (格言)。
