She is a cute, quiet girl. As a daughter, she has no secrets from her mother, who is very pleased with her. But recently she has become somewhat mysterious, and not
so open as before. She has a diary that she keeps under lock and key. Her mother can’t help worrying about her: what if she falls in love, which is too early for a girl of her age? After all, she is reaching the “dangerous stage”. These thoughts have caused trouble in the mother’s mind.
One weekend the girl came to tell her mother that she was going to the cinema with her schoolmate and would return late. As this was the first time, her mother agreed, but she couldn’t help worrying because her daughter had never been away at night before. The mother waited till nine and decided to go out to meet her daughter. Just at that moment the noise
of a car pulling up drew her to the window and there was her daughter, waving goodbye to a boy. Her heart missed a beat. When the girl came in, the mother was watching TV, pretending nothing had happened. “Mom, I’m back.” “Yeah.”“Sorry to be late. Still sitting up?”“Yes, oh, that… who’s that boy?” The daughter was silent for a moment. “Ah. It’s my monitor. He gave me a lift on his way home. Mom, I’m going to bed.”“All right. Go to sleep early.”
Next morning when the mother went to the daughter’s room to do some cleaning, she found her diary left at her pillow. Finally she opened it. It read: Mom, it’s love that made you ask, but it would show your understanding of me if you hadn’t.
Holding the diary, the mother fell into thought.
21. Which is the correct order according to the story?
a. She took a lift back in her monitor’s car.
b. She went to see a film with her schoolmate.
c. She wrote in her diary to tell her mother.

A. The girl knew her mother wouldn’t ask her the question about the boy.
B. What the daughter did recently had worried her mother.
C. The mother didn’t read her daughter’s diary the next day.
D. The girl’s diary was always unlocked.
23. The main purpose of this article is to show that parents should______.
A. care about what their children really think and feel

C. not give much freedom to their children
D. keep silent about their children’s early love
B
If you have ever been discouraged because of failure, please read on. Usually, achieving what you set out to do is not the important thing. Let me explain.
Two brothers decided to dig a deep hole behind their house. As they were working, several older boys stopped by to watch.
“What are you doing?” asked one of the visitors.
“We plan to dig a hole all the way through the earth!”one of the brothers answered excitedly.
The older boys began to laugh, telling the younger ones that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible. After a long silence, one of the diggers picke d up a bottle full of spiders and insects. He removed the lid(盖子) and showed the wonderful contents to the visitors who were laughing at them. Then he said quietly and confidently, “Even
if we don’t dig all the way through the earth, look at what we found along the way!”
Their goal was far too difficult, but it made them big. And that is what a goal is for—to make us move in the direction we have chosen. In other words, it sets us digging!
But not every goal will be fully achieved. Not every job will end successfully. Not every hope will come to pass. Not every love will last. But when you fall short of your aim, perhaps you can say, “Yes, but look at what I found along the way! Look at the wonderful things which have come into my life because I tried to do something!” And I believe it is the joy in the journey, in the end, that truly matters.
24. One of the brothers showed a bottle to the older boys to ______.
A. present what tools they were using
B. show what they had found in their digging
C. frighten them away
D. make them curious
25. We can infer from the passage that ______.
A. digging a hole all the way through the earth is impossible
B. the writer thinks that the two brothers will reach their goal one day
C. a goal is something that we have chosen and want to achieve
D. everyone can succeed if he sets a goal
26. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Failure is the mother of success
B. Where there is a will, there is a way
C. No pains, no gains
D. Joy in the journey
C
Many people think that the most popular way of communicating with other people is through the mouth. But what they don’t know is that actual communication using mouth accounts for only around 10% (or even less) of all the means to communicate a message.
Moreover, you can never determine the honesty of people by what they say alone. In fact, words expressed through mouth do not reflect what people really think or feel. The only way you can determine their true inner feelings and thoughts is by reading their body language.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you can “see through”the emotions of other people? For example, you ask a person if he can do an important task. He says “OK”. But deep inside, you are questioning yourself, “Is he really willing to do this job?”or “Does he have the confidence to finish this task?”You can’t question him directly because that would be like belittling him. And even if you ask him those questions, his replies will not tell you what he really feels or thinks.
Then what is the final solution? Here are just a few of the magic tricks you’re about to discover：
◆Actions to make someone like or trust you.
◆How to win in a negotiation(谈判).
◆How to attract the opposite sex using body language.
◆How to increase your sales using body language.
◆How to help you find out who is telling a lie.
And a lot, lot more!
Body language is very easy and fun to learn. With this book, you will make body movements to achieve the success you’ve always longed for. Do yourself a big favor and get a copy of Body Language Magic.
27. According to the passage, people communicate with each other mainly by _____.
A. speaking
B. using body language
C. writing letters
D. the passage doesn’t tell us
28. The underlined word “belittling”in the 4th paragraph can be replaced by _____.
A. looking down upon
B. speaking highly of
C. playing a trick on
D. believing in
29. We can learn from the passage that body language is helpful in the following ways EXCEPT ______.
A. it makes other people believe you
B. it can decide your success
C. it makes you better understood
D. it shows whether someone is honest
30. The main purpose of the passage is ______.
A. to attract people to buy a book
B. to talk about the writer’s experience
C. to describe some interesting body language
D. to tell us something about true inner feelings

第II卷（共70分）
第一节：阅读七选五 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出正确的填入空白处。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Nowadays parents and their children are spending less and less time communicating with each other. 51 . It is reported that American parents today spend about 40 percent less time with their children than parents did a generation ago. To keep your family time creative and enjoyable, below is a list of helpful family time tips.
1. Eat together & listen to each other
Most children today don’t know the meaning of a family dinnertime. Yet the
communication and unity built during this time is necessary to a healthy family life. Sharing a meal together allows parents and their children the opportunity to talk about each other’s lives. 52 .
2. Read often
It’s important for parents to read to their children. The latest research shows that reading to your children develops an interest in knowledge and contributes to language development. It also increases their concentration on things and helps them become more curious. 53 . After reading, ask questions about what the books are about.
3. Start a hobby or project
Choose a fun activity that your children are interested in. Activities like cooking, fishing or biking can be their great hobbies. 54 .
Once a child learns a new skill, let him or her take the lead under your direction.
4. Plan a family outing
55 . Jump into the family car and go for a drive. Prepare a picnic lunch and visit a local park. Take time to play or ride a bike. A slow and relaxing walk in the woods will help parents communicate with their children better. Also, a visit to the zoo or museum will inspire enthusiasm in a child and lead to long discussions.
A. It is very important for children to exercise.
B. They can open the door to exciting family time.
C. Sometimes getting out of the house is important.
D. Look for books that your children would enjoy reading.
E. New technology has made video games more popular with children.
F. This is also a time for parents to listen and give advice to their children.
G. As a result, many children are getting less love than their parents once got.
