Section B (18 scores)
Directions For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with a word or phrase that best fits the context.
I was eight years old then. Looking back I remember the time in a baseball field passing the team that we had just 36 . We shook their hands and said, “Good game!”
It is easy to do that when you win! When you lose, you have a tendency to slap(拍) the hand----instead of shaking it ----
and 37 the ground instead of the eyes. This is not only true for an eight-year-old; it is true for adults too.
A few years ago, in a softball league, we lost 15 games! And we thought it was 38 . But during the “Good game” handshake after each 39 , I looked each player in the eyes and shook their hands.
I couldn’t look my opponents(对手) in the eyes and congratulate them on a good 40 when I was eight. Somehow I took the loss as a hit on my self-worth and felt my self-confidence had been slapped; 41 I did what most eight-year-olds do and I slapped the opponents’ hands, not gibing them the satisfaction of a shake. I was wrong to do this. I’m happy today as a(n) 42 that I have learned this lesson There
is something to be said for losing well.
43 it is a baseball game or an important examination, you can tell
a lot about a person by how they deal with defeat. The person who deals with defeat as an 44 blow is not allowing the event to
define(定义) him, while someone who cannot handle defeat is allowing the event to 45 his self-worth. In my opinion, when you lose in something---- though it may be 46 ----look at your opponents in the eyes, and shake their hands in a friendly way as you sa y, “Good, game!” 47 to allow the event to define your life. You might find yourself winning the next game.
36. A. taught B. met C. caught D. defeated
37. A. look at B. shout at C. knock at D. laugh at
38. A. unreliable B. embarrass C. reasonable D. challenging
39. A. disappointment B. sadness C. loss D. failure
40. A. day B. time C. team D. game
41. A. fortunately B. therefore C. besides D. finally
42. A. adult B. child C. player D. parent
43. A. As B. Although C. Once D. Whether
44. A. unacceptable B. unfortunate C. unnecessary D. unimportant
45. A. shape B. disturb C. order D. remark
46. A. hard B. certain C. impossible D. funny
47. A. Refuse B. Try C. Fear D. Prepare
Section C ( 12 scores)
Directions Complete the following passage by using ONE word that best fits the context.
I wrote my first Christmas card on Sunday, 28th September!Believe me, it’s not like me. I usually put these things 48 to the last minute. But, after church on Sunday, one of the ladies from the Mother’s Union handed around some cards which they were planning to send
to 49 of the nearest prison.
She asked that we each put 50 personal message inside, but I
didn’t know what I could write 51 the only thing I knew
about 52 was that they had committed a crime.Oh, it was hard! I tapped the pen on the table for a long time searching for
inspiration. 53 the end I had to look past the prison walls and the crime to the heart of the man.I wrote, “Each day bring the hope of a new life. Have a Merry Christmas.”
It wasn’t exactly inspiring, 54 new life is what Christmas is all about and each day we have a fresh chance to make a new beginning.I can’t take credit for the idea, but wouldn’t it be
wonderful 55 we each shared a little love with someone who needs is?

A
A year ago August, Dave Fuss lost his job driving a truck for a small company in west Michigan. His wife, Gerrie, was still working in the local school cafeteria, but work for Dave was scarce, and the price of everything was rising. The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years. Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift—＄7,000，a legacy （遗产）form their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch, who died in an accident . “It really made a difference when we were going under financially.” says Dave.
But the Fusses weren’t the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive unexpected legacy from the Hatches. Dozens of other families were touched by the Hatches’ generosity. In some cases, it was a few thousand dollars ; in others, it was more than ＄20140,000.
It surprised nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money, more than ＄3 million—they were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm .

Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches had their farmland distributed. It was the Hatches’ wish that their legacy—a legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and cent —should enrich the whole community（社区）and last for generations to come.

B
Parents and kids today dress alike, listen to the same music, and are friends. Is this a good thing? Sometimes, when Mr. Ballmer and his
16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, listen to rock music together and talk about interests both enjoy, such as pop culture, he remembers
his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.
“I would never have said to my mom, ‘Hey, the new Weezer album is really great. How do you like it?’” says Ballmer. “There was just a complete gap in taste.”
Music was not the only gulf. From clothing and hairstyles to
activities and expectations, earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits.
Today, the generation gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many families. Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago. Now they are comfortable and common. And parent—child activities, from shopping
to sports, involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can
continue into adulthood.
No wonder greeting cards today carry the message, “To my mother, my best friend.”
But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents.
“There’s still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents out there, but there is a change happening,” says Kerrie, a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College. “In the middle of
that change, there is a lot of confusion among parents.”
Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving
roles and attitudes. They see the 1960s as a turining point. Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic process that encourages everyone to have a say.
“My parents were on the ‘before’ side of that change, but today’s parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the ‘after’ side,” explains Mr. Ballmer. “It’s not something easily accomplished by parents these days, because life is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now.”
61. The underlined word gulf in Para.3 most probably means _________.
A. interest
B. distance
C. difference
D. separation
62.Which of the following shows that the generation gap is disappearing?
A. Parents help their children develop interests in more activities.
B. Parents put more trust in their children’s abilities.
C. Parents and children talk more about sex and drugs.
D. Parents share more interests with their children.
63. The change in today’s parent-child relationship is _________.
A. more confusion among parents
B. new equality between parents and children
C.1ess respect for parents from children
D. more strictness and authority on the part of parents
64. By saying “today’s parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the
‘after’ side.” the author means that today’s parents _________.
A. follow the trend of the change
B. can set a limit to the change
C. fail to take the change seriously
D. have little difficulty adjusting to the change
65. The purpose of the passage is to _________.
A. describe the difficulties today’s parents have met with
B. discuss the development of the parent—child relationship
C. suggest the ways to handle the parent—child relationship
D. compare today’s parent—child relationship with that in the past
C。
