Some even win local talent competitions as children, but only a few such early successes and dreams turn into reality. Jessica Andrews is one of the few whose dreams have come true.Andrews, first taste of success came at the age of 10. She won a talent competition in her home town of Huntingdon, Tennessee, singing I Will Always Love You, originally sung by Whitney Houston. Houston's version of the song appeared on The Bodyguard sound track, which happened to be the first album Andrews ever bought.Within two years, talk of Andrews had spread to Nashville and caught the attention of producer Byron Gallimore, whose credits include work with Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, and Jo Dee Messina. With Gallimore signed on to produce, Andrews soon had a recording contract (合同)with Dream Works' Nashville label. Andrews' professional career was launched with 1999's Heart Shaped World, recorded when she was 14 years old. The album included the country hit I Will Be There For You, which also appeared on The Prince Of Egypt. She followed up the release of the album by touring as a support act for such country superstars as Faith Hill and Trisha Y earwood.With the release of 2001's Who I Am, Andrews became a star in her own right. The album was certified (证明)gold for sales of 500,000 copies. Andrews returned in April 2003 with Now, an album that she promised would show a new side of the young artist. "This album has a very different feeling for me," she said. "It's a lot more personal and there's a confidence that wasn't quite there on the first two. I feel especially connected to this group of songs."21. What's the meaning of the underlined word “launched" in the fourth paragraph?A. Aimed.B. Sent.C. Started.D. Set.22. Which of the following statements is WRONG according to the passage?A. The Bodyguard was the first album Andrews ever bought.B. After Andrews sang Who I Am, she became a star in her own right.C. I Will Always Love Y ou was originally sung by Whitney Houston.D. Now expresses a new feeling of Andrews.23. Which of the following may NOT be Andrews' album?A. Now.B. Heart Shaped World.C. The Prince of Egypt.D. Who I Am24. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Jessica Andrews' LifeB. Jessica Andrews' DreamC. Jessica Andrews' SongsD. Jessica Andrews' Success as a SingerBOne year, my school report made my parents angry. On Christmas Eve, all the presents were stolen, along with our TV. My parents told me that there were no presents because Santa was very angry with my behavior over the past year. The next year on Christmas Eve I slept downstairs with a plastic sword waiting for Santa to make sure that he didn't steal the new TV. The next morning, when I woke up, I saw Santa standing there. As soon as I saw that there were no presents, I grabbed my plastic sword and ran at him, shouting angrily: "THIEF! THIEF!"JackWhen I was young, we always had a specific room for the Christmas tree. My mom never really liked the location, so one year she moved the tree into another room. I was convinced that Santa would not know where the tree was and would get lost in our house. I was worried that he would be mad and put me on the "bad" list and would not give me any gifts because he couldn't find the tree. I came up with the idea to make signs leading from the fireplace to the tree. They said things like: "Tree this way" or "Santa, put the gifts over here." When my big brother saw them he began to laugh his head off.LucyDoes everyone remember going to the mall and sitting on Santa’s lap to have his picture taken at Christmas time?Well, I used to think that if I did that, Santa would get mad because he would have to go all around the world and give every kid the chance to have his picture taken with him. Of course his lap would hurt and he would be very fired. I thought he might keep a copy of the picture and that would be how he decided who would be on his naughty list.My mom couldn't get me onto Santa's lap until she made him promise I wouldn't end up on his naughty list.Lydia25. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Belief in SantaB. The Excitement on ChristmasC. Christmas GiftsD. Christmas Celebration26. The real reason why Jack's TV was taken away is that ______________.A. his parents were too carelessB. his parents thought he had watched too much TVC. Santa Claus was not satisfied with Jack’s behaviorD. Santa gave the TV to another child as a present27. Which of the following is NOT the reason why Lucy didn't want the tree to be moved?A. Santa would not know where the tree was.B. Santa would be angry and would not give her any gifts.C. Her big brother might laugh at her.D. Santa might think she was a "bad" child.CMUMBAI, India —The children in their party clothes on the stage were very excited when they received the award. And the two of them said, "It’s unbelievable!"Nine-year-old, Rubina Ali, and Azharuddin Ismail, 10, were living a very different life and obviously loving every minute of it. The two, some of the child stars of the Oscar-winning Slum dog Millionaire(《贫民窟的百万富翁》)movie, know the Indian slums very well. That was where they grew up, and it is where they will return at the end of their Hollywood dream trip.But before going back home, there was an interview with the host, Ryan Seacrest. During the interview they smiled and repeated their disbelief in what was happening to them. To their surprise, their movie won first place in the Oscars. When the two received the award, it was late morning in the children’s home city of Mumbai, where family, friends and many fellow residents of the slums watched the result from Hollywood."I don’t really know what the Oscars are," Rubina’s mother said. "I’m just glad my daughter looks happy, though she told me she missed Indian food.""Our children lead a dog’s life," Rubina’s mother said, pointing out the rubbish everywhere, the open drains (下水道) and the lack of education opportunities.In a few days they will be back in Mumbai and back in the slums which aretheir home. Fortunately, according to media reports, the movie’s director, Danny Boyle, has promised to help the children chosen from the slum and make sure they will go to a proper school.The two don’t need to worry about their daily lives because of the Oscar success of Slum dog Millionaire.But the poverty and lack of opportunity —the central theme of the movie—is always all around.28. Which of the following is NOT true about the two children?A. They were both excited about receiving the award.B. They had been having a difficult life in India.C. They were interviewed before they went back home.D. They were the only two child stars in the movie, Slum dog Millionaire.29. What can we infer from the text?A. The two children have played in other movies before.B. Rinoms’s mother also went to the Hollywood.C. Rubina may not get used to the American food.D. They will travel to other countries before returning home.30. What will happen to the two children after they return to India?A. They will go back to the miserable life.B. They will play in movies as famous actors.C. They will leave school to learn acting.D. They will have a better education.31. According to the author, the value of the movie is that ________.A. it has been given an Oscar AwardB. it has made the two children famousC. it has become popular all over the worldD. its central theme has become known to the publicDThere were more than 3billlion passenger pigeons—a number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant bird in the world. Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had already become smaller, a flock believed to be 1 mile wide and 320 miles (about 515 kilometers) long was seen near Cincinnati.Sadly the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing.Where the birds were most abundant, people believed there was an ever-lasting supply and killed them by the thousands, Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain, waited until pigeons had settled to feed, then threw large nets over them, taking hundreds at a time. The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.By the closing decades of the 19th century ,the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by American’s need for wood, which scattered (驱散) the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north, where cold temperatures and storms contributed to their decline. Soon the great flocks were gone, never to be seen again.In 1897, the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons but by then, no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years. The last confirmed wi pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900. For a time , a few birds survived under human care. The last of them, known affectionately as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden on September 1, 1914.32. In the 18th and early 19teh centuries, passenger pigeons____.A. were the biggest bird in the worldB. lived mainly in the south of AmericaC. did great harm to the natural environmentD. were the largest bird population in the Us33. The underlined word “ undoing” probably refers to the pigeons’ ____.A. escapeB. ruinC. liberationD. evolution34. What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons?A. To seek pleasure.B. To save other birds.C. To make money.D. To protect crops.35. What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan?A. It was ignored by the public.B. It was declared too late.C. It was unfair.D. It was strict.第三部分英语知识运用第一节完形填空(共20小题;每小题1分,满分20分)As a general rule, all forms of activity lead to boredom when they are performed on a routine(常规)basis. As a matter of fact, we can see this 36 at work inpeople of all 37 . For example, on Christmas morning, children are excited about 38 with their new toys. But their 39 soon wears off and by January those 40 toys can be found put away in the basement. The world is full of 41 stamp albums and unfinished models, each standing as a monument to someone’s 42 interest. When parents bring home a pet, their child 43 bathes it and brushes its fur. Within a short time, however, the 44 of caring for the animal is handed over to the parents. Adolescents enter high school with great 45 but are soon looking forward to 46 . The same is true of the young adults going to college. And then, how many 47 , who now complain (抱怨) about the long drives to work, 48 drove for hours at a time when they first 49 their driver’s license (执照)? Before people retire, they usually 50 to do a lot of 51 things, which they never had 52 to do while working. But 53 after retirement , the golfing, the fishing, the reading and all of the other pastimes become as boring as the jobs they 54 . And , like the child in January, they go searching for new 55 .36. A. principle B. habit C. weaker D. power37. A. parties B. races C. countries D. ages38. A. working B. living C. playing D. going39. A. confidence B. interest C. anxiety D. sorrow40. A. same B. extra C. funny D. expensive41. A. well-organized B. colorfully-printed C. newly- collected D. half-filled42. A. broad B. passing C. different D. main43. A. silently B. impatiently C. gladly D. worriedly44. A. promise B. burden C. right D. game45. A. courage B. calmness C. confusion D. excitement46. A. graduation B. independence C. responsibility D. success47. A. children B. students C. adults D. retirees48. A. carefully B. eagerly C. nervously D. bravely49. A. required B. obtained C. noticed D. discovered50. A. need B. learn C. start D. plan51. A. great B. strong C. difficult D. correct52.A. time B. money C. skills D. knowledge53.

A. pets B. toys C. friends D. colleagues七选五 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分l0分) 将答案填涂在答题卡上ForgivenessTo forgive is a virtue, but no one has ever said it is easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research._____56_______ Try the following steps:Calm yourself. ______57_______ Y ou can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.Don’t wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. _____58_______ Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者). Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who causes you pain. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you._____59______ If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. Y ou may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’s point of view.Don’t forget to forgive yourself. _____60______ But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don’t do it.A. Why should you forgive?B. How should you start to forgive?C. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.D. Try to see things from your offender’s angle.E. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.F. To make your anger die away, try a simple stress-management technique.G. If you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time.第三部分英语知识运用阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(不多于3个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

Just as psychologists predict, we have many similarities. As you know, I’ve been 11 with work on the science of the brain. As a 12 I’ve studied long-term 13 , or how adults remerber events from childhood. Well, my sister is a 14 studying the same area, but with children. She wants to find out how memory changes with 15 or how the early memories of children and teenagers differ. We met by accident at a conference on 16 science. There were many 17 there, and one of my 18 from institue told me she had seen a woman who looked exactly like me. I went to the room where this woman was giving a presentation. I didn’t want to bother her, so I hid my 19 by sitting in the back. Her presentation was interesting, and afterward, I went to the front of the room. She looked at me without saying a word---then we just hugged each other. She said that her 20 told her that we’d find each other soon. It’s incredible, but I feel like I’ve known her all my life. Sh e’s coming to my house for dinner now; we both love to cook. More later!Your friend,ConnieSection II Reading ComprehensionCareer ChangeA People who are thinking about changing careers are often afraid of what will happen if they quit their job. Will they find another one? Will they like another field as well as the one they are in now? Will they be able to grow and advance in a new organization?B As these questions come to mind, they should try to figure out the answers so they can reach a decision. Although there is a high rate of unemployment in some countries, there are usually jobs for skilled workers who can use computers or other equipment. Those who have specialized training in these areas can generally find a position without too much effort.C The question of whether they'll like another field more than their current one is also a crucial one. While it's nice to dream about having another job, the reality may be that they aren't suited for it. For example, if an architect likes to cook but has no idea about how to run a business, it may be risky for him to open a restaurant. He can cook for his friends on weekends and satisfy his dreams of being a chef in that way.D Another good way for a person to find out if she will be successful in a new field is to try it out as a part -time job. Being an event planner sounds glamorous, but helping friends with parties or weddings might show her that it's also very stressful. However, if she has the creativity and organization necessary for such a position, she can continue to plan events for friends until she builds up a reputation. Then she can leave her current job to look for a job in event planning knowing that she'll be successful in this area.E Once a person has found his or her specialty and decides on the change, it's necessary to stick with it until the business gets off the ground. This usually takes about five years. If the move has been from one company to another, the person should stay until it is clear he is doing a good job and can advance to a higher position.

Sometimes they have to travel an hour or more to work and black and endure a lot of traffic. One popular alternative to the frustrating morning commute is telecommuting. Telecommuniting involves working from home and communicating with an employer by phone, fax, or computer. Changing technology makes telecommuting increasingly easy and popular. Some telecommuters work at home full-time, while others go into the office one or two days and work at home the rest of the wek. It is estimated that between 18 and 23 million people telecommute in the United States, and between 1.6 and 2 million people telecommute in both the U.K. and Germany. And the numbers are growing. Why are so many people telecommuting? What are the advantages, and do they outweigh the disadvantages?B Telecommuting has many advantages. In addition to saving people from the stressful morning commute, it also allows for more flexibility in the workplace. Telecommuters can plan their own schedules; they can customize their work environments; and they can work from anywhere. Often, people with children like to telecommute because it means building a work schedule around family demands and commitments. Additionally, home-offices can provide good tax benefits for telecommuters. Finally, for those who don’t like the office atmosphere, office politics, or those long, never-ending meetings, telecommuting can provide a release. Telecommuting not only provides advantages to the worker, it benefits the environment as well. It contributes to cleaner air (less pollution emitted from cars), decreased traffic, and job growth in rural areas that might not otherwise offer employment options.C Telecommuting has disadvantages as well. For instance, some workers may telecommute not out of choice but because the employer doesn’t wish to provide office space, a work station, or the benefits that on-site employees receive. Another drawback is that not everyone can telecommute. Certain jobs, such as media and publishing, consulting, sales, and telemarketing lend themselves better to telecommuting than others. Some people find it very difficult to work at home. The TV, the refrigerator, the bed, e-mail, and the telephone can be big disastractions for telecommuters. On the other hand, some telecommuters can’t separate work from home and have a tendency to overwork. Other disadvantages of telecommuting include the difficulty of office relationships. Sometimes if a worker splits his or her time between home and theoffice, co-workers who don’t have the opportunity to work at home might feel resentful. Managers might feel powerless to control employees who aren’t on site. Finally, if working from home makes you feel isolated or lonely, then telecommuting is probably not for you.D Jeff and Nancy found a way to use telecommuting to change their lives. “Not only do we have a better lifestyle, we have a better life,”says Nancy. Three years ago, the couple sold their Manhattan apartment and bought a mobile home. When they are not traveling around the United States, they live in their adobe bungalow in Santa Fe, New Mexico. “When we saw Santa Fe, we fell in love with the place immdediately. But before selling our New York apartment, we spent the year making connectins and researching our options for work that we could do.” Nancy does work for a publisher, and Jeff works as an independent consultant. Both invested in laptops and say that technology such as wireless Web access and cell phones help them when they’re on the road. Recently, Nancy wrote cookbook for campers that she has started selling through specialty catalogs and Web sites. “Through telecommuting we are able to make enough money to survive without dipping into our net egg, and we haven’t given up any of the things we enjoy. Telecommuting is our livelihood.”E According to statistice, the number of telecommuters in the United States rose by 3 million between 1999 and 2000. Will the numbers continue to improve, perhaps everyone will be working in “virtual offices”and the traditional office will disappear. No one knows for sure, but we can be certain that telecommuting is not a fad. It is a practical alternative to the traditional office job, an alternative which is here to stay.Decide whether the following statements are true or false. Write "T" for True and "F" for False on the Answer Sheet.26. People who like working in an office will probably like telecommuting.27. Telecommuting is possible for people in all professionals.28. Telecommuting has helped Jeff and Nancy change their lifestyle.29. Telecommuting is more flexible than traditional office work.30. Telecommuting is a fad that will probably disappear soon.。

One day he went into a restaurant (饭店) and sat down at a table. When the waiter came, he opened his mouth, put his fingers in it and took them out again. He wanted to say, “Bring me something to eat.”The waiter soon brought him a cup of tea. The man moved his head from side to side. The waiter understoodhim and took the tea away. In a moment he came with a cup of coffee. But the man again refused it. He shook his head whenever the waiter brought him something to drink, for drinks are not food.When the man was going away, another man came in. This man saw the waiter, and he put his hand on his stomach. That was enough. In a few minutes there was a large plate of meat and vegetables on the table in front of him.So, you see, we can understand the language of signs as well as we can understand the language of words.41. According to the passage, when people do not understand each other’s language, they can talk with the help of ________ .A. a waiterB. a teacherC. an EnglishmanD. their hands, heads, and other parts of their bodies42.

Young women enjoy wearing stylish clothes. They also enjoy being taller while they are wearing these shoes.But doctors are not only very happy with the platform shoes. Foot specialists report that many women hurt their feet by wearing them. These specialists say that if you turn your ankle when wearing normal shoes, the foot can easily return to its regular position. However, if you fall while walking on a high platform shoes, your foot may turn so far that you will break a bone in the foot or ankle.There is also a possibility that these shoes cause backaches. Many platform shoes have high heels(跟), and women who wear them say that these shoes sometimes make them feel tired. (It has been found that people usemore energy when walking on high-heeled shoes.)Because the platforms are very thick and stiff(硬的),these shoes could cause auto accidents. The driver might not be able to feel the difference between the brake(刹车)and the accelerator(油门踏板). Also, if the platforms are very high, and if the driver has to stop the car quickly, she might not be able to move her foot to the brake in time.Women are not alone in wearing platform shoes. Many US shoes stores sell platform shoes designed for men. Doctors continued to warn people about the dangers of wearing them. A high style is not always a safe style.46. Some people enjoy wearing high platform shoes for they think _______ .A. the shoes will make them healthyB. they would be more alert when they driveC.they would look tallerD. the shoes are popular47.

Doctors warn people about the dangers of wearing high platform shoes because of the ______ of the shoes.A. sizeB. structureC.materialD. priceDPackaging is an important form of advertising. A package can sometimes motivate someone to buy a product. For example, a small child might ask for a breakfast food that comes in a box with a picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture than in the breakfast food. Pictures for children, games printed on a package, or small gifts inside a box also motivate many children to buy products or to ask their parents for them.Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable (循环使用)containers are examples of this. Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product.The size of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has “Economy Size”or “Family Size” printed on it. This suggests that the large size has the most product for the least money. But that is not always true. To find out,a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit.The information on the package should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words and pictures do not tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that.51. As is used in the passage, the word “motivate” mostprobably means to “________”.A. make one deep in thoughtB. supply a thought or feeling that makes one actC. provide a story that makes one movedD. make one believe what he does is just (合理的) 52. The sentence “A buyer will get something for nothing.”most probably means that _______.A. a buyer will get something useful free of chargeB. a buyer will get what he pays forC. a buyer will gain more than he losesD. a buyer will not get what he wants to53. People are likely to buy the product put in a reusable glass or dish because _______.A. the cost of the container is included in the cost of theproductB. the container is too attractiveC. they think they can get the container for freeD. they have no other choice54. Which of the following statements is Not mentioned in the passage?A. Packages are often made to serve as advertisements.B. Children are made to buy a product by its packagewith attractive pictures.C. A buyer is also attracted by the size of a container.D. On seeing a well-designed container, a buyer oftenneglects(忽视)what is inside it.55. What suggestion does the writer give in the passage?A. Do not buy the product which is sold in a glass or adish.B. The quality of a container has nothing to do with thatof the product. C. A buyer should get what he needs most.D. The best choice for a buyer is to get a product in a plain packageEHow dinosaurs disappeared is not only a question which interests biologists and geologists. It is a favorite topic for discussion for physicists and astronomers. They would like to know ___56____because this may help them find ways to solve the problem of global warming. Some scientists believe_____57__. ___58____ is uncertain, but water and food supply decreased and so the dinosaurs gradually died out. However, the mammals survived.

For some, exam anxiety encourages them to work hard, while for others it may be the root cause for poor performance, l eading to academic 4 and lack of confidence.

They fear that they may 7 what they have studied, and when it is too much, their 8 is likely to come true.One of the most important methods of 9 exam anxiety is to pr epare well in advance. Studying regularly for a few hours every day helps increase the 10 of students. If students are not abl e to handle anxiety or nervousness, they could talk to their teac hers, parents, friends or instructors. 11 should also avoid givi ng pressure to their kids to do well. Creating a peaceful and 1 2 atmosphere at home can be greatly helpful.To 13 and sleep properly is also important. Students tend to avoid sleep and starve themselves due to anxiety, but it is 14 to their academic performance and health.

Transtation(中译英、英译中各5个)Unit 1Asking for a Job1. While asking for a job, you should give thought to what you would like to be doing 15 to 20 years from now. Bear in mind that the job you choose will affect the future course of your life. It will partially determine your range of friends, your choice of husband or wife, where you live, your recreational activities, and other important aspects of your life.2. When choosing a job, you should have a clear knowledge of your abilities and aptitudes, as well as your interests and aims. Be honest about your weak points as well as your strong ones. Take a really good look at yourself and give real thought to the kind of person you are, what you are good at, and what kind of person you want to be.3. Be clear about the kind of occupations in which people like yourself tend to find success and satisfaction. You can gain some ideas of what other people, with similar abilities and interests, consider to be important and challenging in the jobs that they choose, by talking to people already in the job that interests you. Watch these people at work.4. Weigh carefully the immediate advantages against the long-term prospects offered by the jobs you are considering. Will the occupation you select give you satisfaction, not just when you start, but in the years to come? Realize now the importance of education in all fields, technical and professional. Remember that when promotion occurs, preference is usually given to educated persons—other things being equal.5. Talk about your job preferences with your parents, teachers and your headmasters. Remember they have a tremendous fund of experience from which you should benefit. They can help you think about the jobs in which you will find satisfaction and challenge. They can stimulate you to give careful thought to what you really want to do and offer useful suggestions as to how you might take full advantage of your personal qualities and qualifications.6. Make a real study of jobs. It takes a very long time to find the work that suits you the best. Reading about and studying a number of occupations is something you should do over and over again.7. Have a correct regard of your job. Is it just a means of getting money to do the things that you want to do? Is the work important to you and your future happiness and contentment? Maybe it is a combination of both these things.8. Your life-long job cannot be approached in any kind of haphazard fashion. It must be considered carefully, examined from every angle, and talked over with those who know you and those who can help you in any way. Once you find your life-long job, you should do it with patience and wisdom.求职1. 求职过程中,你应该想一想往后十五至二十年将干什么?记住,你选择的职业会影响你的一生,一定程度上决定你的交友、择偶、居住地、娱乐活动及生活的其他重要方面。2. 在选择工作的时候,你要清楚地了解自己的能力,同时也要知道自己的兴趣和目标。

高中英语真题:学2013-2014学年高二英语下学期期末考试试题(考试时间120分钟,满分150分)一.阅读理解(共两节,满分60分,每小题3分)第一节(共15小题,满分45分)AMistakes are a part of life. To err is human. Failure is also a par t of life, not the end of life. Be happy facing life’s challenges. W hen you make the effort to be happy and to improve your life, y ou are actually rewarded along the way.Life is like a game and maybe you can award(奖励) points for every effort that has been a success for you. Try it . Add ten points for every achievement. And when you have rea ched 50 points, just yell, “ Hey, I’ve won!” and give yourself a re ward. If you happen to have missed your points for whatever re ason, tell yourself, “Well, I tried!” which is better than not trying at all. Don’t let it be said you didn’t try.What is it that you want to make yourself happy? Actually hap piness means different things to different people. For example, an athlete will be happy winning his first race. For a new motherhappiness would be seeing her baby’s first steps. Happiness fo r a poor person would mean having a meal just for today. So ha ppiness for you is really something simple that you want for you rself.It really doesn’t have to be big. As a matter of fact you should always have realistic expectations. Make the best out of every g iven situation. If you expect a certain result from a situation and it does not happen, don’t get despondent. This just means tryin g harder next time. We all have in us the power to succeed. Do n’t let “ give up ” be a part of your vocabulary.1.By saying “To err is human”, the author means that________.A. human beings should try to avoid(避免) making mistakesB. no one is perfect(完美的) and everyone makes mistakesC. mistakes and failures make up our lifeD. human beings m ake mistakes easily2. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?A. Try to reach 50 points.B. Never stop trying in your life.C. Award yourself for your successD. Don’t be afraid of missi ng your points.3. The author proves his idea in Paragraph 3 through_________.A. examplesB. numbersC. experimentsD. stories4. The underlined word “ despondent ” in the last paragraph means________.A. frightenedB. disappointedC. surprisedD. excitedBI am a writer. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about t he power of language—the way it can evoke (唤起) an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple trut nguage is the tool of my trade. And I use them all—all the Englishes I grew up with.Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in , I’ve b een giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speak s. Like others, I have described it to people as “broken” English. But I feel embarrassed to say that. It has always bothered me t hat I can think of no way to describe it other than“broken”, as if i t were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness. I’ve heard other terms used, “limited English,” for e xample. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, in cluding people’s perceptions(认识)of the limited English speaker.I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my moth er’s“limited” English limited my perception of her. I was asham ed of her English. I believed that her English reflected the qualit y of what she had to say. That is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me:the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at resta urants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did no t hear her.I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I won’t get into t oday, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with:the English she used with me, which for lack of a better term mi ght be described as “broken” ; and what I imagine to be her tran slation of her Chinese, her internal (内在的) language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure.

Coal-consumption caps will also be tried out in some areas, accordin g to the plan.“The plan is aimed at dealing with regional air pollution—such as acid rain and smog—which have become increasingly obvious in China in recent yea rs and caused a severe threat to people’s health,” Zhang Lijun, vice-minister of environmental protection, said in an interview on Mo nday.“The air quality in a city affects the regions nearby because poll utants (污染物) Can travel through the atmosphere,” said Chai Fahe, vice-director of Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Scien ces.“So efforts to reduce air pollution in a single city, targeting a cer tain pollutant will not be enough,” Chai said.Zhang said, “The country’s major industrial districts—the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region—have recorded more than 100 misty days annually in recent yea rs.”These three regions, home to at least 200 million people, occupy only 6. 3 percent of the country’s area but consume 40 perce nt of the country’s coal and produce half of its steel, according t o official figures.Studies also show that the visibility (能见度) in eastern regions of China has dropped by 7 to 15 km com pared to that in the early 1960s, as a result of air pollution.Liaoning province, the Shandong Peninsula, Wuhan in Hubei province and its surrounding area, the Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan region in province, the Chengdu-Chongqing region, and the western coast of the Taiwan Straits are also listed as areas to carry out such regional air pollution c ontrol programs, according to the plan.The new plan also requires an improved air quality system, w hich will measure the pollution levels. “The current system, whic h only measures some major pollutants, cannot reflect the true picture.” said Chai.12.
