第一节 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

A
One day a man was walking in the street when he met a penguin (企鹅)．It was a handsome and very brave bird． It seemed to take an immediate liking to the man, because it walked up to him and then followed him wherever he went．This was funny for a while but in the end became rather embarrassing(尴尬的)．
“Go away, you silly bird, ’’the man said to the penguin, but the
bird ignored him. It simply would not leave him alone．Wherever he went, the bird went too. At last, in desperation (绝望) the man walked into a police station．“Excuse me, officer．”he said．“I need some advice.
I met this penguin in the street and I don’t know what to do with it．”
A bored policeman looked up from what he was writing and said, “Just take it to the zoo, sir．’’
“Oh，all right．’’said the man．
The next day the man was walking along the street, still accompanied (陪伴) by the penguin, when he met the policeman he’d spoken to the day before．The policeman was not pleased to see them．“I thought I advised you to take that animal to the zoo, ” he said．
“Well, yes, officer, you did．And I did take him to the zoo, ” the man explained. “And we had a great time．But we can’t go to the zoo every day．I thought today I'd take him to the movies．’’21．Which of the following expressions can be used to describe the penguin?
A．Ugly looking．B．Beautiful in heart．
C．Silly in look． D．Friendly to human．
22．The man went into the police station to__________．
A．sell the bird to the police
B．get something to feed the bird
C．ask for advice about what to do with the penguin
D．ask the police to kill the bird
23．Which statement is true?

C．The policeman who received the man was not patient with him． D．The policeman felt sorry for not giving any help．

You either have it, or you don’t —a sense of direction, that is．But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map, while others can lose themselves in the next street?
Scientists say we’re all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works．One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it．Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don’t use it, we 1ose it．
“Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around, ’’ says Jim Martland, research director of the project．“Howeve r, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills．’’
Jim Martland also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction．He makes the following suggestions：
1．If you are using a map, turn it so it relates to the way you are facing．
2．If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree—something easy to recognize．Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike．When you return, go back along the same route．
3．Simplify the way for finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or walls in the countryside to guide you．Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where yon are．
Now you will never get lost again!
24．Scientists have the belief that__________．
A．some people have a sense of direction when they are born B．a sense of direction is developed with ages
C．people have their sense of direction all their life
D．everybody has a sense of direction from birth
25．What is true about 7-year-old children according to the passage?
A．Their sense of direction does not work without maps．
B．They should be allowed indoors if they lack(缺乏)a sense of direction．
C．They have the ability to find their way around
D．They can develop a good sense of direction if they are driven around in a car．
26．If you leave your bike in a strange place, you should___________． A．plant a tree beside the bike so that you can know where the bike is
B．on the map mark where the bike is
C．find the stone which is beside the bike
D．remember something easily recognizable on the route 27．According to the passage, the best way to find your way around is to___________．
A. take a bike as a landmark
B. use walls, streams, and streets to guide yourself
C. remember your route by asking a policeman for help
D. remember the number of landmarks that you see
C
Have you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it?
Many people are afraid to assert (维护，坚持) themselves．Dr．Robert Albert, author of STAND UP, SPEAK OUT and TALK BACK, thinks it is because their self-respect is low．“There’s always a superior (长者)around—a parent, a teacher, a boss who knows better．’’ But Albert and other
scientists are doing something to help people assert themselves．They offer assertiveness training courses, A．T．for short．In the A．T．course people learn that they have a right to be themselves．They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so．They learn to be confident without hurting other people．
In one way, learning to speak out is to get rid of fear．A group taking an A．T．course will help the timid person to lose his fear．But A．T．uses an even stronger motive to share the need．The timid person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels．
Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-respect．If your face is more important than you, you may feel less of a person．You start to doubt your answers to problems．However, once you get to feel good about yourself, you can learn to speak out．28．The problem the writer talks about is that___________．
A．some people are forced to buy things they don’t like
B．some people are afraid to speak up for their rights
C．many superiors are everywhere
D．some people love to help others find confidence in themselves 29．Why don’t many people feel good about themselves?
A．Because some people have a low self-respect．
B．Because talented people can be found all the time．
C．Because the advice from salesmen is always persuasive．
D．Because people don’t like to exchange ideas with others．30．What does the underlined word “timid’’ probably means?
A．胆小的B．有学问的 C．有社交能力的D．好斗的31．Which of the following is NOT the thing the A．T．course does?
A．Encourage people to speak out ．
B．Showing people they have a right to be themselves.
C．Helping them to be brave enough．
D．Helping people to assert themselves even if others are hurt．D
I don’t think a day goes by when I don’t think of my father. He died twenty﹣one years ago when I was twenty﹣six. He was a good man , but I hardly saw him around home, for he ran a big company. I secretly wished something could bring him closer to me.
It wasn’t until he became seriously ill that we really got to know each other and had a place in each other’s lives. After his near death and many operations, I was trained as his nurse to take care of him. Although the job seemed boring and tiring in certain people’s eyes, I liked it. Taking care of him seemed to reduce the pain of his absence from my younger life. I enjoyed his company and attention and, though through a sad situation, I was finally getting my fill（满足）.
Now I am a dad myself, but certainly not a workaholic as my father. Although I work away from my home, I always have my meals with my family.
Father’s Day is coming I still have the pencil holder made from a decorated tin sitting on my desk. It’s a gift from my only son. Each year, the gift is something different and each year, I couldn’t care less about the gift itself. You see, the gift I enjoy is the pleasure of my son’s company and knowing that we have a place in each other’s lives.
At heart , all men know their fathers are important. Want a great Father’s Day? Tell your dad you love him and give your kid a hug today －before Father’s Day actually arriv es.

In the future, man's life will be very different from that of today. First,with the development of medicine, on the average, a person will live to the age of about 120.Second,because of the discovery of new energy, the environmental pollution will be under control. Third,people's daily life will change greatly,too. For example, robots will do all your housework for you; your chair will change its color to match what you're wearing; you can also put your mobile phone around your wrist and can see the caller while speaking; you even can take a new elevator into space for your holidays.。
