二、阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
A
Luo Jingyu，19，has four years of experience of running business.He is also
a freshman in the arts department of Hubei University.
Luo Jingyu is from an ordinary family.He said，“My parents told me if I wanted something I should make an effort to get it，so I earned pocket money by doing housework when I was little.” The dream of running his own business grew
in his heart.He said，“I want to be a successful person，like Alibaba's Ma
Yun.”
When Luo was a junior student，he had the idea of selling lanterns(灯笼)when
he saw many people flying Chinese lanterns in a square.Luo bought some
lanterns from a store，but the sales were not as good as he had expected.Then
he found another way to do business.He bought lanterns on the Internet at
a very low price.Finally he easily made 5，000 yuan in two days.
With a happy beginning，Luo planned to open a dress shop.“My parents didn't
support me opening a dress shop，so I had to borrow 120，000 yuan for it.”
Although he did market research before starting，the business wasn't very
good because his taste in fashion wasn't accepted by customers.The shop eventually closed down after half a year.
After experiencing a big loss，he decided to do something he was familiar with—selling painting tools.As a fine arts student，he knew the market.He convinced his friends to invest one million yuan in his shop.With a good business mind and a lot of effort，the sales of the shop reached six million yuan in a year.
Even though Luo is rich，he uses a cheap cell phone and does not wear luxury(奢华的)clothes.He has a simple lifestyle.“It isn't easy to make money，so money should be used on something worthwhile，” he said. 21．We can learn from the second paragraph that Luo's parents ．A．asked him for money to pay the rent

Most high school students would rather spend their summer vacations far away from the classroom.But Vineet Kosaraju and Nikhil Cheerla are choosing to go back to school，and this time they are the teachers.
“I think it's really nice that I can help the community by spending just a little bit of time every week helping just a few students here and there try and learn programming，”Kosaraju said.
Friends since they were young boys，Kosaraju and Cheerla always shared a love of computer science.They learned the skills from their parents and school，but recognized that not all children have that chance.
“Programming isn't taught in that many schools，especially low income(收入)schools，because there isn't that much money to support it，”Kosaraju said. So he and Cheerla developed“Math and Coding，”an after­school program for kids of all ages to learn the basics of computer programming.
Between applying for (申请)college and doing their own homework，the two boys now spend a few hours every week going to different libraries teaching classes that cover everything from building basic games to developing apps. The friends started the program a little over a year ago and already，it's spread to more than a dozen libraries across the Bay Area in California.They are even training volunteers to teach these very same classes in other US states and Canada.
Maryann Mitchell brought her 8­year­old granddaughter，Gabriella，to a class on coding at the Alum Rock Library in San Jose，California.
“It's a chance for her to learn，”Mitchell said.“It's the way of the future，and it's a good way for her to get grounded and be ready for what the future holds.”
“I think the most rewarding thing is having people come up and thank you and say they really learned a lot from this class，”Cheerla said.“It doesn't get any better than that.”
24．Why do the two boys return to the classroom during summer holidays? A．To improve their computer skills.
B．To get some teaching experience.
C．To raise money for local schools.
D．To instruct kids in programming.
25．What do we know about the program?
A．It has a growing influence.
B．It has been run for many years.
C．It helps students apply for college.
D．It trains teachers to work for libraries.
26．How can the class benefit Gabriella?
A．It helps her prepare for the future.
B．It encourages her to visit libraries.
C．It allows her to make more friends.
D．It's a chance to learn about the future.
27．What does the text mainly report?
A．The great work of volunteers in the Bay Area.
B．A library's important role in helping students.
C．Two teens' free coding course for children.
D．The close friendship between two students.
C
It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams，the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life，but manners on the road are becoming horrible.Everybody
knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel.It is all right to have a tiger in a cage，but to have one in the driver's seat is another matter altogether.
Road politeness is not only good manners，but good sense too.It takes the most cool­headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving.On the other hand，a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting.A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic conditions.But such behaviours of politeness are by no means enough.Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.
However，misplaced politeness can also be dangerous.Typical example is the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may be not able to stop in time.The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies.
An experienced driver，whose manners are faultless，told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings.Unfortunately，modern drivers can't even learn to drive，let alone master the roadmanship.Years ago，experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give­and­take from all road users.It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.
28．According to the passage，troubles on the road are often caused by ．
A．road conditions B．the speed of modern life
C．the behaviour of the drivers D．the large number of cars 29．In the writer's opinion，．
A．drivers should avoid traffic jams
B．strict traffic rules are badly needed
C．unskillful drivers should be punished
D．drivers should show road politeness properly
30．The underlined wo rd “give­and­take” in the 4th paragraph probably means ．
A．politeness and impoliteness
B．good manners and bad manners
C．offering help to others as much as possible
D．willingness of each person to give in to each other's wishes 31．What is the best title of the passage?
A．Road Politeness
B．Traffic Problems
C．Bad Manners on the Road
D．Good Drivers and Bad Drivers

I've loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to sit above the top of it. Mother sat writing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be a most wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. "But the desk," she said again, "is for Elizabeth."
I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed in action. But as a young girl. I wanted to have heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.
They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was "too emotional (易动感情的)". But she lived "on the surface (表面)".
As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.
My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace - it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
But the present of her desk told me, as she'd never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside - a photo of my father and a one-paper letter, folded and refolded many times. It was my letter.
"In any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words."
32．The passage shows that_________.
A．Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter B．Mother was too serious about her daughter in words
C．Mother wrote to her daughter in careful words
D．Mother wrote to her daughter in careless words
33．The underlined word "gulf" in the passage means_______.
A．deep understanding between the old and the young
B．different ideas between mother and daughter
C．free talks between mother and daughter
D．part of the sea going far in land
34．What did Mother do with her daughter's letter asking for forgiveness?
A．She had never received the letter.
B．For years, she often talked about the letter.
C．She didn't forgive her daughter at all in all her life.
D．She read the letter again and again till she died.
35．What's best title of the passage?
A．My letter to Mother B．Mother and children C．My Mother's Desk D．Talks between Mother and me

On character
I'm the only person I know that's lost a quarter of a billion dollars in one year. _37__.

On his outlook
__38__ Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful，that's what matters to me.

Peter,
I am very glad that my mother is coming this afternoon by air. But I have to give a lecture and have no time to meet her. I am writing to ask you to meet my mother at the airport at 3:30 for me. As you have never seen her before, I will say something about her to help you recognize her. She is around sixty years old, fat and short, with a long face and gray hair.
I have been told she is dressed in a white blouse and brown trousers and she will take a yellow suitcase with her.
I will be grateful to you for your help.。
