Phone the Reception Desk.BIn mid-December, William Paterson University came to my school for an Instant-Decision Day. I was told to reach the guidance office at 11:15, but the expectation was killing me so I got there 15 minutes early. I knew what was waiting for me could change my life and give me a great education.It was my turn, and I couldn’t be more ready. Mr. Yates was getting some coffee and hurried back to his seat when he saw me enter. “Good morning. Please have a seat,” he directed. I sat directly across from him and he immediately began to speak, “Well, Taylor, I have just a few questions for you.” He began to ask about academic (学术上的) activities, and what I wanted to do in the future. We went back and forth with questions and answers.He had asked about my toughest class, AP Physics. He wanted to know why I thought it was so challenging and what I was doing to raise my grade. In answering, I began to criticize (批评) my teacher from the previous year. He stopped me mid-sentence to blame my response.” I don’t want to worry you, Taylor, but it was probab ly not a good idea to speak poorly of an educator when you are speaking to an educator. This doesn’t matter in your interview, but it is a suggestion.”We moved on with the interview after this slight setback(挫折). Mr. Yates began to run out of questions and finished with “Taylor, I’m happy to accept you to William Paterson University.” A huge smile spread across my face and as it did, one ran across Mr. Yates as well. I was accepted to my top –choice college and it all took less than ten minutes.24. When did the author arrive at the guidance office?A. At 10:45B. At 11:00C. At 11:15D. At 11:3025. Mr. Yates advised the author__________.A. not to comment on his teacher freelyB. not to talk about a teacher behind his backC. not to judge a teacher only by his appearanceD. not to speak ill of a teacher in the face of another26.Which of the following can best describe Mr. Yates?A.

William Paterson University was the a uthor’s dream collegeCWhen I was small, my grandmother died and I couldn’t understand why I had no tears. But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laugh turned into crying.So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the same part of the brain. Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so does crying.Whatever helps us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional(情感的) health, and crying seems to work well. One study found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report feeling better after crying.Just as crying can be healthy, not crying --- holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering --- can be bad for physical health. Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high blood pressure, heart problems and some other illnesses. If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, don’t fight it. It’s a natural --- and healthy ---emotional response. Besides, tears attract (吸引) help from other people. Researchers agree that when we cry, people around us become kinder and friendlier and they are more ready to offer support and comfort. Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better; sometimes we don’t even know we’re v ery sad until we cry. Welearn about our emotions through crying, and then we can deal with them.28. Why didn’t the author cry when her grandmother died?A. Because her father did not want her to feel too sad.B. Because she did not love her grandmother.C. Because she was too shy to cry at that time.D. The author doesn’t give the explanation.29. It can be inferred from the text that ________.A. there are two ways to keep healthyB. laughing does more good to health than cryingC. crying and laughing play the same rolesD. emotional health has a close relationship to physical health30. According to the author, which of the following statements is TRUE？A. Crying is the best way to get help from others.B. Holding back tears may cause some health problems.C. We will know our deep feelings if we cry.D. We must cry if we want to reduce pressure.31. What might be the best title for the text?A. Power of TearsB. How to keep HealthyC. Why We CryD. A New Scientific DiscoveryDMom was a good cook. Her home-made chili sauce was second to none, and the things she could do with a chicken...Well, it makes me think about them. And I once offered to make my sister Kathy’s bed for a week if she would give me the last slice of toast made by Mom.Mom was a great cook --- most of the time. If a beef steak was placed in her frying pan, she would turn into an anti-cook. She could turn the finest meat into a piece of hard protein with the smell of shoe leather. Of course, she really tried.One day, my brother Bud took me out for lunch in a popular restaurant and he ordered beef steaks. Since he was paying, I thought I should have at least one or two bites. But when the waitress served our steaks, I was surprised at how good they smelled. Suddenly I understood why others spoke of beef steaks lovingly. I wolfed down my steak.I was a born-again beef eater.“You know,” I said to Bud, “I used to think Mom was a great cook. But it’s hard to believe that her steaks came from the same animal as these steaks.”“Mom is really a great cook,” Bud said. “Think about it. She grew up during the Great Depression. That’s when she learned to cook. How often do you think they had steaks? It is only recently that they could afford to buy steaks. So it isn’t that she isn’t a good cook.”It’s that way with all of us, isn’t it? Even our strengths have elements of weakness. That’s why great athletes still train a nd great actors still practice. Greatness isn’t something we are; it is something we become. And that process includes learning and growing through success and failure.32. The author writes the underlined sentence in Para1 to __________.A. prove that his mom was a good cookB. express his love for his family membersC. tell that Kathy loved Mom more than he didD. show that the toast made by his mom was the best33. It can be inferred from Para.3 that the author__________.A. realized that beef was the best meatB. started to like home-made beef steaksC. would eat beef steaks only in that restaurantD. used to think that beef steaks were terrible food.34. According to Bud, Mom couldn’t cook beef steaks well because__________.A. she had little experience in cooking themB. she seldom ate meat when youngC. she couldn’t afford good beefD. she wasn’t really a good c ook35. What message does the passage want to give?A. One is never too old to learn.B. Failure is the mother of success.C. Greatness still needs learning and growing.D. Everyone has both strengths and weaknesses.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
