Coming home from school that dark winter day so long ago, I was filled with excitement of having the weekend off. But I was 36 into stillness by what I saw. Mother was seated at the far end of the sofa, 37 , with the second-hand green typewriter on the table. She told me that she couldn’t type fast and then she was out of work. My shock and embarrassment at finding Mother in tears was a perfect proof of how 38 I understood the pressures on her. Sitting beside her on the sofa, I began very 39 to understand. “I guess we all have to 40 sometime,”Mother said quietly. I could 41 her pain and the tension of 42 the strong feelings that were interrupted by my arrival. Suddenly, something inside me 43 . I reached out and put my arms around her. She broke then. She put her face 44 my shoulder and sobbed. I held her 45 and didn’t try to talk. I knew I was doing what I should, what I could 46 it was enough. At that moment, feeling Mother’s 47 with feelings, I understood for the first time her being so easy to 48 . She was still my mother, 49 she was something 50 : a person like me, capable of fear and 51 and failure. I could feel her pain as she must have felt mine on a thousand occasions（场合）when I sought 52 in her arms.
A week later Mother took a job selling dry goods at half the salary the radio station 53 . “It’s a job I can do, though”she said simply. But the evening practice on the old green typewriter continued. I had a very 54 feeling now when I passed her door at night and heard her 55 across the paper. I knew there was something more going on in there than a woman learning to type.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
A
Interviewing is one of those skills that you can only get better at. You will never again feel so ill at ease as when you try it for the first time, you’ll probably never feel entirely comfo rtable trying to get from another person answers that he or she is maybe too shy to reveal. But at least half of the skill is mechanical（机械的）. The rest is instinct（天赋）, which can all be learned with experience.
The basic tools for an interview are paper and two or three well-sharpened pencils. But keep your notebook or paper out of sight until you need it. There’s nothing less likely to relax a person than the arrival of someone with a note-talking pad. Both of you need time to get to know each other. Take a while just to chat, judging what sort of person you’re dealing with, getting him or her to trust you. Never go into an interview without doing whatever homework you can .If you are interviewing a town official, know his voting record. If it’s an actor, know what plays he has been in. You will not be liked if you inquire about facts that you could have learned in advance.
Many beginning interviewers are afraid that they are forcing the other person to answer questions and have no right to inquire about his personal secrets. The fear is almost 100 percent unnecessary. Unless the person really hates being interviewed, he is delighted that somebody wants to interview him .
Most men and women lead lives that are uninteresting, and they grasp any chance to talk to an outsider who seems eager to listen.
This doesn’t necessarily mean that it will go well. In general you will be talking to people who have never been interviewed before, and they will get used to the process（程序）awkwardly（笨拙的）, perhaps not giving you anything that you can use. Come back another day; it will go better. You will both even begin to enjoy i t——proof that you aren’t forcing your victim to do something he doesn’t really want to.
56．The underlined word ―reveal‖ could best be replaced by ―________‖.
A．ask B．question C．give D．seek
57．According to the passage, during an interview note books or paper should ________.
A．never be used B．be used only when necessary
C．be kept at home D．be given to the interviewer
58．The writer of the passage suggests that before interviewing a person, you should ________.
A．have sharpened your pencil well and get your notebooks ready
B．visit a town official and meet an actor
C．read as many books as possible
D．make good preparations
59．It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that most men and women _________.
A．are afraid to meet interviewers B．hate being interviewed
C．like being interviewed D．fear to speak to outsiders
60．According to the passage, if a person being interviewed is too uneasy to give you anything useful, what should you do?
A．Arrange another interview. B．Give him or her a bad score.
C．Wait until he or she calms down. D．Try to make him or her trust you.
B
I love Charles Barkley like a brother but we disagree from time to time. Here’s an example of what I mean: I disagree with what Charles says in his Nike commercial, the one in which he insist, ―I am not a role model.‖ Charles, you can deny being a role model all you want, but we don’t choose to be role models, we are chosen. Our only choice is whether to be a good role model or a bad one. I don’t think we can accept all the glory and the money that comes with being a famous athlete and not accept the responsibility of being a role model, of knowing that kids and even some adults are watching us and looking for us to set an example.
I love being a role model, and I try to be a positive one. That doesn’t mean I always succeed. I’m not saint (圣贤的). I make mistakes, and sometimes I do childish things. But you don’t hav e to be perfect to be a good role model, and people shouldn’t expect perfection. If I were deciding whether a basketball player was a positive role model, I would want to know: Does he influence people’s lives in a positive way away from the court (球场)? How much has he given of himself, in time or in money, to help people who look up to him? Does he display the values——like honesty and determination——that are part of being a good person?
Kids have lots of other role models——teachers, movies stars, athletes, even other kids. As
athletes, we can’t take the place of parents, but we can help reinforce（巩固）what they try to teach their kids.
Constantly being watched by the public can be hard to stand at times. I don’t think most people can imagine what it’s like to be watched that closely every minute of every day.
But the good things about being a role model outweigh the bad, It’s a great feeling to think you’re a small part of the reason that a kid decided to give school another try instead of dropping out or that a kid had the strength to walk away when someone offered him drugs. But one thing I would encourage parents to do is to remind their kids that no matter which athletes they look up to, there are no perf ect human beings. That way, if the kid’s heroes should make mistakes, it won’t seem like the end of the world to them.
61．The author of this article holds the opinion that ________.
A．a famous athlete ought to set a good example to the public
B．a famous athlete needn’t be a role model if he doesn’t want to
C．a famous athlete can’t deny being a role model
D．it’s hard to be a role model
62．According to the author, a positive role model ________.
A．can win more money and fame
B．are not allowed to make mistakes
C．are the most important examples a child can follow
D．can have some positive influ ence on people’s follow
63．The underlined word ―outweigh‖ in the last paragraph probable means ________.
A．be greater than B．be worse than C．be less than D．be lighter than 64．Which of the following is best supported by the last paragraph?
A．A good role model can stop children taking drugs.
B．Kids usually expect too much of their role models.
C．Dropping out of schools and taking drugs are the two most serious problems American kids face.
D．Kids drop out of school or take drugs if seeing their heroes make mistakes.
65．The author of this article is probably ________.
A．an admirer of Charles Barkley B．a famous athlete himself
C．a sports reporter D．a famous writer
C
During the last ten years, several important new technologies have affected advertising considerably. One was the penetration（渗透）of cable television and satellite receivers into a vast number of American homes. Many cable channels are devoted to single types of programming, such as straight news, home shopping, sports, or comedy. This has changed television from the most widespread of mass media to a somewhat more specialized medium. Now smaller companies and companies with products that interest a limited market can use television to reach audiences with
particular interests.
Another change in the TV world has been the growing presence of videocassette recorders. For many customers, watching movies on video at home has replaced going to the movie theater. Advertisers have watched this trend with interest. Some videos now begin with an ad, shot in a suitable cinematic cycle, that sells a product valued by that particular movie’s audience.
Computer technology has had its own effect, Personal computers, modems, electronic mails, electronic bulletin boards, even fax machines give advertisers new media for reaching potential customers. But these choices are largely replacements for print media, and their advertising trends to be more information-oriented than image-oriented. The increased number of computer users has benefited advertisers in another way as well. Now even the smallest companies can maintain a database（数据库）for direct mail. This, too, is an excellent medium for reaching people with particular interests.
Today advertising is a powerful means that announces the availability（实用性）and location of products, expresses the quality and value of those products, and even fills brands with personality while at the same time defining the personality of the people who buy them. In turn, advertising itself is shaped by the technology used to convey its message to potential customers.
66．________ make it possible for small companies to send advertisements to audiences specially interested in their products.
A．Single types of TV programming B．Mass media
C．Particular interests D．New technologies of TV sets
67．As more and more people have begun to use computers , advertisements can be directly sent to particular costumers _________.
A．by electronic bulletin board B．by post
C．by e-mail D．by fax machines
68．The best title of this passage might be ―__________‖.
A．The Informaiton Age of Advertising. B．Mass Media and Advertising
C．Technologies of Advertising D．Advertising and Customers
D
Most people think their time problems are outer, and that they are caused by the telephone, meetings, visitors, and delayed information or decisions. Although these problems often have a bad effete on them, as when people call or drop in, we usually contribute to them. We fail to have calls screened by a skillful secretary or assistant, or we leave our door open, actually assuring constant interruptions.
In almost all cases, our time problems can be caused for our own reasons, such as, slowness and indecision, lack of self-discipline, the inability to delegate(指派去做), or the tendency to delay, to act without thinking, and to jump from task to task without finishing any of them.
Time is constant that cannot be changed. The clock cannot be slowed down or speeded up. Thus
we cannot manage time itself. We can only manage our activities with respect to time. The same skills are needed as those used in managing others——the abilities to plan, organize, delegate, direct, and control. Time management is simply self-management. It is impossible to be effective in any position without controlling one’s time effectively.
Successful time management does not mean working harder, but working smarter. All kinds of management skills must be used in the home and office to get most value from time. 69．According to the writer, time problems _________.
A.are caused by the telephone, meetings and visitors
B.are caused by delayed information or decisions
C.can be solved by self-management
D.can’t be controlled
70．Which of the following is NOT mentioned as time wasters?
A.slowness and indecision.
ck of self-discipline.
C.Jumping from task to task without finishing any of them.
D.Working hard.
71．It can be concluded from the passage that the abilities to plan, organize, delegate, direct and control should _________.
A.be used in managing others’ activities
B.be used in managing one’s own activities
C.not be used in time management
D.be used in managing both others’ and one’s activities

“Life is speeding up. Everyone is getting unwell.‖
This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unknown citizen who lived in Rome in AD 52 wrote it.
We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives. But have all these developments really improve the quality of our lives? Picture this: You’re rushing to finish your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings, a QQ message from your friend appears on the screen, the noise from the television is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work. Now you have to stay up all night to get it done. How calm and happy do you feel?
Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave us feeling stressed and tired. Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have not telephones, no cars, not even any electricity often seem to be happier? Perhaps because they lead simpler lives.
One family in the UK went ―back in time‖ to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin, 10, and Tomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phones.
The grandmother, Lyn, said, ―It was hard physically, but not mentally.‖ She believed life wa s less materialistic. ―The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes,‖ She said. The boys said they fought less to fight over, such as their computer. Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being a ―trendy（时髦的）, beer-drinking granny, to one who cooked things.‖Here are some simple ways to beat the stress often caused by our inventions!
Don’t be available all the time, Turn off your mobile phone at certain times of the day. Don’t check your e-mail every day.
Don’t reply to so mebody as soon as they leave a text message just because you can. It may be fun at first, but it soon gets annoying.
72．The passage is mainly about _________.
A．the problem with technology
B．improvements of our life with technology
C．the important roles technology plays in our everyday life
D．major changes which will be likely to happen to technology
73．The writer quoted（引用）what a citizen in ancient Rome said at the beginning of the story in order to _________.
A．share a truth about life
B．tell us what life was like long time ago
C．make us wonder what causes such a thing to happen
D．point out that you experience some big problems and they may be the same
74．Why did the family choose to spend some time in a 1940’s house? Because _________.
A．they liked to live simple lives
B．they were curious about how people lived without modern inventions
C．they were troubled by modern inventions
D．living in a different time would be a lot of fun for them
75．What does the underlined word ―available‖ in the 1st suggestion offered by the writer mean?
A．Busy on line B．Free.
C．Be able to D．Be found by others.

第三部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节：选择题(共15小题，每小题2分，共30分)
A
I was born an albino．No one in my family had ever known what an albino was，what it meant to be an albino，and what had to be done differently because I was an albino.
My parents treated me just like they treated everybody else. That was just about the best thing they could have done. It helped me trust myself，so when the annoyances came along，I could deal with them.
Actually，my photo always looked like a snowball with two pieces of coal for eyes. Kids would tease me，asking if I was joi ning the circus and calling me ―Whitey‖. Like most albinos，I had terrible eyesight，and my grades suffered until eventually I overcame my feeling ashamed of myself and realized it was okay to ask to sit in the front of the classroom so I could see the blackboard better. People stared at me when I held reading material right at the tip of my nose so I could see it well enough to read. Even when I was eight or nine. movie-theater clerks started asking me to pay adult prices because I ―looked older‖.
The worst part for me was that because my eyesight was so bad，I couldn't play sports very well. I di dn't give up trying，though. And I studied harder. Eventually，I got better at school and loved it. By the time I got to college I was double majoring，going to summer school and devoting myself to every kind of extracurricular activity I could find. I had learned to be proud of being an albino. I did my best to make ―albino‖ a positive word. And I decided to make my living with my eyes.
I couldn't see well enough to play spots，but with a solid education and the drive to do it，I could make
a living involved in the field I loved. I've done it now for more than thirty years in print and in video，and now in cyberspace. People make jokes about how I'm the only ―blind editor‖ they know，but most of the time the jokes are signs of respect. And I make jokes about being an albino.
I was just a proud albino kid from the coal country of Pennsylvania. I now realize that being born an albino helped me to overcome difficulties，gain confidence，and be proud of my personal achievement and humble about my professional accomplishments.
56．According to the passage，an albino refers to a person__________．
A．who has bad eyesight B．who is born with white skin and hair
C．who looks older than his age D．who joins the circus
57．What does the underlined word ―It‖ in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．The fact that the author was born an albino．
B．The way that the author's parents treated him．
C．What had to be done differently to the author．
D．The fact that the author had no idea what an albino was．
58．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Despite his bad eyesight，the author played sports well．
B．The author paid adult prices for movies when he was still young．
C．The author's study was affected by his eyesight at first．
D．―Albino‖ has already become a positive word now．
59．In the passage，the author intends to tell us___________．
A．actually being an albino helped him achieve success
B．how an albino studied well
C．what it is like to be an albino
D．how people should treat an albino
B
A popular saying goes，―Sticks and stones may break my bones，but words will never hurt me．‖However，that's not really true．Words have the power to build us up or tear us down．It doesn't matter whether the words come from someone else or ourselves—the positive and negative effects are just as lasting．
We all talk to ourselves sometimes．We're usually too embarrassed to admit it，though．In fact，we really shouldn't be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit．
This―self—talk‖helps us motivate ourselves，remember things，solve problems，and calm ourselves down．Be aware, though，that as much as 77％of self—talk tends to be negative．So in order to stay positive，we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves．We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back ．The next time you finish a project，do well in a test，or finally clean your room，join me in saying―Good job!‖
Often，words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have．But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others．For example，when returning an item to a store，we might use warm，friendly language during the exchange．And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner．Or unkind and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive．
Words possess power because of their lasting effect．Many of us regret something we once said．And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking，we should always ask ourselves：Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn't pass this test，then it's better left unsaid．Words possess power：both positive and negative．Those around us receive encouragement when we。
