On a cold November afternoon, my mother and I were walking home from a pizza store. We were dressed 26 and equipped with the rented video we had been dying to watch. I was
feeling a little 27 as I was carrying our shopping, and decided to throw away something. So I started to walk towards the garbage can 28 I noticed a poor man walking out of the restaurant in front of us. He 29 for another nearby garbage can and started looking through it.
I suddenly felt very guilty because I was about to throw away a new drink just because it was
30 I walked up to him and handed the drink and some snacks over to him. The man looked up
31 and took what I gave him. A huge smile 32 across his face and this 33 me to feel indescribable satisfaction. I felt I couldn’t be happier with myself. But then he said: “Wow, this is my son’ s lucky day!” With that, he thanked me happily and started off on his bike. I 34 heard him whistling a song as he rode away.
I got a warm 35 inside. I now understand what is 36 by the saying “giving is getting”. Although it only took a little action and a few words, I gained and learned more in those two minutes than I did in the 37 of the month. Everyone in the world needs help, everyone can 38 help and everyone will be helped by 39 kindness.

四、阅读理解（共15小题，30分）
阅读下面短文，从各题A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。

A
The other day, my friend Jane was invited to a 40th birthday party. The time printed on the invitation was 7:30 pm. Jane went off with her husband, expecting a merry evening of wine, food, and song.
By 9: 45, everybody was having great fun, but no food had appeared. Jane and David were restless. Other guests began whispering that they, too, were starving. But no one wanted to leave, just in case some food was about to appear. By 11:00, there was still no food, and everyone was completely off their heads. Jane and David left hungry and angry.
Their experience suggests that the words on the printed invitations need to be made clearer.
Everyone reads and understands the invitations differently. Most of us would agree that 6:
30—8: 30pm means drinks only, go out to dinner afterwards; 8: 00 pm or 8: 30pm means possible dinner, but 9: 30pm and any time thereafter means no food, eat beforehand, roll up late.
But this is not always the case. If asked to a students’ party at 6: 30pm, it is normal for guests not to appear before midnight, if at all, and no one cares. Being the first to arrive—looking eager—is social death. When my mother is asked to a party for 6: 30, she likes to be there, if not on time, then no later than seven. My age group (late thirties) falls somewhere between the two. But because we still think we’re young, we’re probably closer to student-time than grown-up time.
The accepted custom at present is confusing, sometimes annoying, and it. often means you may go home hungry, but it does lend every part that precious element(成分) of surprise.
41. The underlined words “off their heads” probably mean _______.
A. tired
B. curious
C. crazy
D. hopeless
42. For some young people, arriving on time for a students’ party will probably be considered _______.
A. very difficult
B. too anxious
C. friendly and polite
D. socially acceptable
43. According to the writer, people in their late thirties _______.
A. are likely to arrive late for a party
B. care little about the party time
C. haven’t really grown up yet
D. like surprises at parties
44. What is the general idea of the text?
A. It’s safe to arrive late just when food is served.
B. It’s wise to eat something before going to a party.
C. It’s important to follow social rules of party - going.
D. It’s necessary to read invitations carefully.
B
Tom is a professor in an American university. Two years ago, he made friends with Wang, a Chinese visiting professor in another American university. Wang introduced Tom to her university. Soon, Tom was invited by Wang’s university for a five -day visit to give lectures.
Tom was very excited about the trip, as it was his first time in China. Wang and the Chair of her department met him at the airport, then put him up in a nice hotel. They had arranged a big dinner for him for the evening and made Tom feel very welcome. At the end of the evening, Wang gave him the timetable for the next few days. Apart from the lectures, all his time would be filled with meals, concerts, shopping, and a one- day trip to a nearby interesting place, all paid for by the university. Tom had thought he would have time to explore the city and the area, but the arrangement would leave him no free time.
Tom was grateful to Wang and the host department. At the end of the visit, he insisted on treating Wang and the Department Chair to dinner to thank them. But they said a dinner had been arranged. Tom was not so pleased. He was not very happy at the dinner and did not show much interest when the Department Chair said that they hoped Tom would come back for another visit. Tom even complained to his American friends, “While in China, I sometimes felt like a prisoner!”However, as soon as Tom left, Wang was very relieved and she felt Tom’s visit had been successful.
45. Wang and the Department Chair did all of the following except ________.
A. leaving him some free time
B. inviting the guest to concerts
C. arranging dinners for the guest
D. meeting the guest at the airport
46. What can you infer from Tom’ s complaint?
A. Tom would come back for another visit.
B. Wang realized that Tom was not happy with this trip.
C. The American would like to make their own arrangement.
D. The Chinese would like to treat the guest to dinner.
47. The purpose of the passage is mainly to show ________.
A. Wang’s study abroad

C. the cultural differences
D. treating guests to dinner
C
Having one of those days--or weeks—when everything seems to annoy you? Even if you do nothing about it, your bad mood (心情) will probably go away after some time. But with a little effort, you can forget it much faster—often within a day or two.
Walk it off
Exercise is the most popular bad - mood buster. A person who’s in a bad mood has low energy and high tension. Taking a fast ten - minute walk, or doing some quick exercises can do wonders towards changing the bad mood.
Tune it out
Listening to your favorite music for a while can also make tension go away quickly, because music starts connection with past positive experiences we’ve had.
Give yourself a pep talk
Stop and listen to what’s on your mind. Bad moods are often started by too many negative thoughts. Write them all down on paper, the pessimistic (悲观的) messages you’ ve been giving yourself, and then give optimistic answers. (“I still don’t have a job. ” vs. “I have two interviews next week. ”)
Reduce your stress
Relaxation techniques are wonderful mood -lifters. These include deep breathing, stretching and visualizing, all of which sound complicated (复杂的) but aren’t. One easy way to visualize: close your eyes and picture a favorite place, such as the beach. Another simple way to distress is to make a to -do list. One reason for being in a bad mood is feeling you have no options. By taking control over certain areas, you realize you’ re not helpless. You can make changes in your mood and life.
Avoid things that won’t improve your mood
TV may not help much: you need to increase your energy level and stimulate （刺激）your mind—something that the TV show "Neighbors" won’ t do. And before you reach for that piece of cake and coffee, think about how mood and food are linked. Sugar and caffeine contribute to depressed moods. The better choice? Research shows that carbohydrates, such as potatoes and pasta (面食) , produce calming effects in people who have a desire for them.
48. Which of the following may help us stop a bad mood?
A. Doing nothing about it.
B. Exercising and enjoying music.
C. Writing down negative thoughts.
D. Talking about it with neighbors.
49. Why is it suggested that you close your eyes and picture the beach?
A. It helps remove a bad mood.
B. It brings us a new technique.
C. It is not complicated to do so.
D. It is an area to be easily controlled.
50. TV may not improve your mood because it _________.
A. shows what happens around you
B. does not energize you
C. reminds you of eating and drinking
D. produces a calming effect
51. Which would be the best title for this passage?
A. Energy Level and Stress
B. How to Beat a Bad Mood
C. Bad Mood and Our Life
D. How to Control Your Feeling
D
Letter to the Editor
A heated debate is currently going on in our town. Should we allow the cinema to be constructed in the Havenswood Shopping Center? There is just one large lot left to build on, and the theater would use up all of that space. Some people are excited at the idea of finally having our own movie theater. Others would rather travel ten miles to the nearest theater to keep our quiet town the way it is. They say it is enough to have Marvin’s Movie Video Rentals. After all, Marvin’s store keeps thousands of the latest videos.
There are certainly benefits to renting videos. For one thing, you can plan your own schedule when it is convenient for you. You can relax on your sofa, and take a break whenever you need one. You can also talk to others without bothering any strangers seated nearby. In addition, it is a less expensive way to view a movie, especially if more than one person is watching the video.
On the other hand, seeing a movie in a theater is an experience all its own. First, you can see the movie on a wide screen as the filmmaker intended. To be viewed on a television screen, a film must be changed in some way to make it smaller. One is the “pan - and – scan” method, which involves removing some of the details in the picture. The other way, called “letterboxing”, keeps the image the way it is on the big screen, with one annoying exception: because the big – screen style is wide, the same picture on a television screen must be long and narrow.
Another problem is sound. The sound from a television cannot compare to the sound system in a theater. Your experience of a movie improves when you can clearly hear all of the sounds. Furthermore, at home, viewing companions often talk during a movie, which makes you miss out on what’s happening in the film.
Besides, having a movie theater will not mean that you can’ t still go to Marvin’ s ! You will just have a choice that you didn’t have before. Isn’t it time for Havenswood residents to enjoy a little progress?
52. Who is the author probably?
A. An editor of a newspaper.
B. The manager of the nearest theatre.
C. A concerned citizen in Havenswood.
D. The owner of Marvin’ s Movie Video Rentals.
53. What is the advantage of renting videos?
A. It will not take up the large lot in the town.
B. There’s no strict limit to the viewing time.
C. People can enjoy better sound system.
D. People can fully concentrate on their movies.
54. In the author’s opinion, constructing a theatre will _________.
A. reduce the profit of the Movie Video Rentals
B. save movie -goers money and time
C. offer people another experience
D. disturb the peace in the town
55. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
(①—⑤stand for the paragraphs in the article)
