AJerry was the kind of guy you love to hate. He was always in a good mood and always had something positive to say. Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him, “I don't get it! You can't be a positive person all the time. How do you do it?" Jerry replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, 'Jerry, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.' I choose to be in a good mood."“Yeah, right, it's not that easy," I protested. "Yes, it is," Jerry said. "Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. Youchoose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: it's your choice how to live life."Several years later, I heard that Jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a restaurant business: he left the back door open onemorning and was held up at gunpoint by three armed robbers. While trying to open the safe, the robbers panicked and shot him. Luckily, Jerry was found immediately and sent to the local hospital. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments of the bullets still in his body.I saw Jerry about six months after the accident. When I asked him about the incident, he replied, "Wanna see my scars?" I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place. "The first thing that came into my mind was that I should have locked the back door," Jerry replied." Then as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live, or choose to die. I choose to live.Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully. Attitude, after all, is everything.31. Which of the following can best describe Jerry?A. Kind-hearted.B. Responsible.C. Optimistic.D. Careless.32. What does the underlined phrase "cut away all the junk" mean?A. Pick up the junk on the ground regularly.B. Ignore the unnecessary parts of something.C. Choose to be in a good mood.D. Never be affected by others.33. Which of the following is true about the robbery?A. Jerry's house was broken into by six robbers one morning.B. Jerry tried his best to fight with the six robbers.C. Jerry lost his consciousness for weeks.D. Jerry received an immediate operation after the robbery.34. Which of the following could be the best title?A. The choice of life.B. Attitude is everything.C. How to live fully.D. An unexpected robbery.BNew mothers who read and write blogs (博客）may feel less alone than mothers who do not participate(参与）in a blogging community, according to family studies researchers. "It looks like blogging might be helping these women because they may begin to feel more connected to their extended family and friends, which leads them to feel more supported," said Brandon T. McDaniel, graduate student in human development and family studies at Penn State.McDaniel and colleagues from Brigham Young University surveyed 157 new mothers about their media use and. their happiness. The moms were all first-time parents with only one child under the age of 18 months~ most much younger than this. The researchers report in the online version of Maternal and Child Health Journal that blogging had a positive impact (影响）on new mothers, but social networking — mainly Facebook and MySpace -- did not seem to impact them."We're not saying that those who end up feeling more supported all of a sudden no longer have stresses, they're still going to have those stressful moments you have as a parent," said McDaniel. "But because they're feeling more supported, their thoughts and their feelings about that stress might change, and they begin to feel less stressed about those things." McDaniel pointed out several potential benefits for new mothers who blog, including giving moms both a way to connect with family and friends who do not live nearby and an outlet to use and show their hobbies and accomplishments, particularly for stay-at-home moms. Because this is one of the first studies to look at the effects of participation in online communities on new mothers, McDaniel noted that there is not enough information collected yet to determine how or why blogging and social networking have markedly different impacts on new moms. However, this study demonstrated that mothers who blogged frequently show stronger connections to their family and friends. That possibility is going to have some other profound influences on them,including their relationship with their husband, the ways that they're feeling about their parenting stress, and eventually into their levels of depression.35. What does the underline part "these women" in paragraph 1 refer to?A. Mothers who read and write blogs.B. Mothers who do not participate in a blogging community.C. New mothers who read and write blogs.D. New mothers who like using Facebook.36. Which of the following people might have been surveyed?A. Kate, who is a mother of a 6-year-old boy.B. Betty, who is going to be a mother.C. Joe, who is a mother of a 5-month-old boy and a 2-year-old girl.D. Susan, who is a mother of a 6-month-old boy.37. Which of the following is true about blogging according to the passage?A. Stay-at-home moms benefit more from Blogging.B. Blogging and social networking share the same effect on new mothers.C. New mothers who blog are completely free of stresses.D. Blogging provides new mothers with a good place to show theirbaby photos.38. What can be concluded from this study?A. Men play an important role in bringing up their children.B. Modern technology does more harm than good to mothers.C. It's important for mothers to feel connected and supported in life.D. Mothers of more children feel less stressed than those with only one child.CThe smart job-seeker needs to rid themselves of several standard myths about interviewing before they start looking for a job. What follows is a list of some of these untruths and some tips to help you do your best at your next interview.Myth 1: The aim of interviewing is to obtain a job offer.Only half true. The real aim of an interview is to obtain the job you want. That often means reject job offers you don't want! Unskilledjob-seekers, however, become so used to accommodating employers' expectations that they often easily qualify for jobs they don't want. So before you hand in your resignation, be sure you want the new one.Myth 2: Try to control the interview.Nobody controls an interview, neither you nor the interviewer, although one or both parties often try. When somebody tries to control us, we hateit. When we try to control somebody, he makes us feel uncomfortable. Remember, you can't control what an employer thinks of you, just as he can't control what you think of him. So hang loose when interviewing, or you may give people the impression that you are not believable.Myth 3: ______ ______Another silly myth. If you don't disagree at times, you become, in effect ，a “yes’，woman. Don't be afraid to disagree with your interviewer in an agreeable way. And don't hesitate to change your mind. The worst that could happen would be that the interviewer says to himself, "There is a person with an open mind!” The convention al wisdom says "be yourself，，true enough. But how many people can be themselves if they don't feel free to disagree?Click here to get more silly myths and useful suggestions.39. What is this passage trying to tell us?A. Some accepted advice about interviewing is actually not true.B. Interviews don't help people to get the jobs they really want.C. "yes" women are more likely to get good jobs.D. It's silly to take an interview too seriously.40. W hich of the following might be Myth 3?A. Always please the interviewer.B. Show gratitude to your interviewer.C. Never interrupt the interviewer.D. Don't disagree with the interviewer.41. In the writer's opinion, a job-seeker should ______.A. be what he himself isB. be flexible to choose a jobC. be polite and agree with your interviewerD. be what the interviewer wants him to be42. Where can the passage most likely be found?'A. In the newspaper.B. In the textbook.C. On the website.D. In the magazine.DGlobal food prices have jumped up by 10% in the month of July, raising fears of soaring prices for the planet's poorest, the World Bank has warned. The price of key grains such as corn, wheat and soybean saw the most dramatic increases. From June to July this year, corn and wheat prices each rose by 25% while soybean prices increased by 17%, the World Bank said. Only rice prices decreased by 4%.The bank said that a US heatwave and drought in parts of Eastern Europe were partly to blame for the rising costs. In the United States, the most severe, widespread drought in half a century has resulted in decreasing production on the corn and soybean crops while in Russia,Ukraine and Kazakhstan, wheat crops have been badly damaged. Overall, the World Bank's Food Price Index, which tracks the price of internationally traded food commodities, was six percent higher than in July of last year, and one percent over its previous peak, in February 2011.World Bank President Jim Yong Kim said countries in North andSub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East were among those most exposed to such price increases because much of their food was imported and food bills make up a large proportion(比例）of average household spending. Already, the bank said, maize prices had increased by 113% over the past quarter in Mozambique, while sorghum had risen 220% in South Sudan. The bank also mentioned that there were other potential risks which could push grain prices higher. These included exporters pursuing panic policies, a severe ElNino, disappointing Southern hemisphere crops and strong increases in energy prices.The G20 group of leading economies has said it will not take any decision on joint action until the US agriculture department's September estimate of this year's harvest. But aid charity Oxfam said it was not acceptable for governments to delay acting on food prices until thesituation had been worse.43. The underlined word "soaring" most probably means “______".A. achievingB. droppingC. increasingD. failing44. Which of the following statements about food prices is true?A. The prices of corn, wheat and rice rose dramatically.B. The rising food prices largely resulted from natural disasters.C. Soybean prices rose 8% more than wheat prices.D. Eastern Europe are responsible for the increasing prices of corn.45. Why were countries in North and Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East affected by the rising food price most?A. People in those places consume more grain.B. The average household spending is low.C. People there eat more wheat than rice.D. Those places rely more on imported food.46. What can you infer from the passage?A. Food Price Index in July is the highest one since February 2011.B. Grain production in Europe was influenced more than that in the USA.C. The rising food prices is likely to increase energy prices.D. The G20 group and Oxfam will join together to solve the problem.EWhen she graduated with an electrical engineering degree from Texas Tech in 1965，LeEarl Ann Bryant was only the third women to graduate in "E.E" from her school. "It was very unusual for women to major in engineering back then," she says. "The year I graduated, there were only 350 women with E.E degrees in the entire country."But brick walls were the name of the game after graduation, when LeEarl Ann went job-hunting. "I wanted to be a designer [an engineering designer creates computer systems, circuit boards, and son on]. At one interview I was told, 'Women don't do design work.' I was also told, 'We can't hire you. You would have to carry test equipment, and our company rules state that women can't carry more than 25 or 30 pounds. Eventually she was hired to be a designer for Colllins Radio Company in Dallas, Texas, where she worked for ten years. "One of the great things about an engineering career is that you can do all kinds of things ---I've worked in design, sales, marketing, project management, and business planning." LeEarl Ann's career has also taken her to Washington, D.C. where she completed a one-year fellowship with Texas Congresssman Pete Geren. "It was fun. I learned a lot about the political process,""Electrical engineering is more open now," notes LeEarl Ann. "In the 1970s, the women's movement put pressure on companies to hire more women. Today, about 18 percent of America's engineers are women.If you want to be an engineer, LeEarl Arm suggests taking "as much math and science as you can get, with at least an introductory calculus course." She also suggests studying foreign languages. "The economy is becoming more global, and it gives you a chance for world travel while you work."47. From the 1st paragraph we know that ______.A. women couldn't do as well as men in electrical engineeringB. very few women chose to study electrical engineering thenC. LeEarl Ann was one of the top students in her classD. the class size in LeEarl Ann's college was unusually small48. Many companies didn't want women designers mainly because______.A. there were too few women designers at that timeB. women are often too weak to carry heavy things aroundC. they didn't believe women can make good electrical engineersD. the government didn't allow them to hire women designers49. How did LeEarl Ann find her career in Colllins Radio Company?A. She enjoyed it and tried a variety of tasks.B. It turned out to be too much for a woman.C. She found it hard to work with men colleagues.D. She wasn't given any chance to do design work.50. From the last two paragraphs we can conclude that ______.A. women are better at engineering than menB. math and science are especially hard for womenC. it is not easy to become a woman engineerD. most electrical engineers speak several languages第二节(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中填出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
