A
New Zealand is made up of two main islands that lie in the South Pacific Ocean. Mountains, glaciers and volcanoes make the islands beautiful to visit and explore.
Auckland
Auckland was first settled by Maori tribes around 1350. By the time European settlers arrived in 1840, it was almost deserted. Today, Auckland is New Zealand‟s largest an d fastest growing city. Located between two coasts, Auckland has many harbors and is said to have the most pleasure boats per person of any city in the world. The Sky Tower is the city‟s most distinctive landmark. At 1,076 feet tall, the tower is the tallest building in the southern hemisphere（半球）!
Wellington
Wellington is New Zealand‟s capital city. It is home to the Parliament building and many other cultural treasures. The city rests between rolling green hills and a wide waterfront. A highlight of the city‟s arts, cultural and historical attractions is Te Papa, the national museum. It is one of the largest national museums in the world and holds many Maori pieces, including a carved meetinghouse. It also displays the original Treaty of Waitangi.
Christchurch
Christchurch is the largest city in New Zealand‟s South Island. In the past, the city was centered on agriculture. Today it is a refined modern city. The beautiful Christ Church Cathedral can be found in the city‟s Cathedral Square. The Avon River winds through the city and is one of Christchurch‟s major attractions. Visitors and locals enjoy walking along the paths and bridges that dot the river.
Aoraki/Mount Cook
At 12, 349 feet, Aoraki/Mount Cook is New Zealand‟s tallest mountain. Lege nd says that a boy named Aoraki and his three brothers were at sea when their canoe overturned on a reef. When the brothers climbed on top of their canoe, freezing wind turned them to stone. The canoe became the South Island and Aoraki and his brothers became the peaks of the mountains. Aoraki/Mount Cook is where famous New Zealander Sir Edmund Hillary trained before he made his historic trip up Mount Everest.

I made a promise to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.
The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical passage about husbands and their wives. Then he went on to s ay, “Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.
And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.” “Oh, Tom, you noticed”, she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled. After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyn‟s been alone here w ith the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.
So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate mus eums. Relaxed and happy, that‟s how the whole vacation passed. I made a new promise to keep on remembering to choose love.
There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression.
“What‟s the matter?” I asked her.
“Tom,” she said in a voice filled with distress, “I don‟t?”
“What do you mean?”
“Well…that checkup I had several weeks ago…our doctor…did he tell y ou something about me? Tom, you‟ve been so good to me…am I dying?”
It took a moment for it all to be understood. Then I burst out laughing.
“No, honey,” I said, wrapping her in my arms. “You‟re not dying; I‟m just starting to live.”
25. From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage ______.
A. with his family
B. with Evelyn
C. alone
D. with his children
26. During the two weeks on the beach, Tom showed more love to his wife because _.
A. he was determined to be a good husband
B. he had made a lot of money in his Wall Street firm
C. she looked lovely in her new clothes
D. the doctor said his wife was seriously ill
27. The author says, “There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment.” What does “one
thing” refer to?
A. He praised her sweater, which puzzled her.
B. She insisted on visiting a museum, which he hated.
C. He knew something about her illness but didn‟t tell her.
D. He was so good to her that she thought she must be dying.
28. By saying “I‟m just starting to live,” To m means that ______.
A. he is just beginning to understand the real meaning of life
B. he is just beginning to enjoy life as a loving husband
C. he lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to change
D. he is beginning to feel regret for what he did to his wife before
C
A woman renewing her driver‟s license at the County Clerk‟s office was asked to state her occupation. She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself．
“What I mean is,” explained the recorder, “do you have a job, or are you just a …”
“Of course I have a job,” said Emily．“I‟m a mother.”
“We don‟t list …mother‟ as an occupation… …housewife‟ covers it,” said the recorder.
One day I found myself in the same situation．The clerk was obviously a career woman, confident and possessed of a high sounding title．“What is your occupation?” she asked．
The words simply popped out．“I‟m a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.”
The clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in midair.
I repeated the title slowly, and then I stared with wonder as my statement was written in bold, black ink
on the official questionnaire.
“Might I ask,” said the clerk with new interest, “Just what you do in this field?”
Coolly, without any trace of panic in my voice, I heard myself reply, “I have a continuing program of research (what mother doesn‟t）, in the lab and in the field (normally I would have said indoors and out). Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities (any mother care to disagree?), and I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it)．But the job is more challenging than most careers and rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.”
There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk‟s voice as she completed the form, stood up, and showed me out．
As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up (依托) by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants---ages 13, 7, and 3.
Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (a 6 month old baby), in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern．
I felt proud! I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable (不可缺少的) to mankind than “just another mother.”
Motherhood…What a glorious career! Especially when there‟s a title on the door.
29. What can we infer from the conversation between the woman and the recorder at the beginning of
the passage?
A. The woman felt ashamed to admit what her job was.
B. The recorder was impatient and rude.
C. Motherhood was not recognized and respected as a job by society.
D. The author was upset about the situation that mothers faced.
30. Why did the woman clerk show more respect for the author?
A. Because the author cared little about rewards.
B. Because she admired the author‟s research work in the lab.
C. Because she thought the author did admirable work.
D. Because the writer did something she had little knowledge of.
31. What is the author‟s purpose of writing the passage?
A. To show how you describe your job affects your feelings toward it.
B. To show that the author had a grander job than Emily.
C. To argue that motherhood is a worthy career and deserves respect.
D. To show that being a mother is hard and boring work.
D
It was Sunday morning. I heard loud noises of moving furniture in the next room. I could almost feel the excitement of John who was soon going to get a room of his own. I knew how much he longed for his right to privacy when he was sharing a room with his younger brother, Robot. He said, “Mum, Can I have a room of my own? I could use Jeff‟s. He won‟t mind.”
It was true that Jeff had graduated from college and flown from the nest. But would he mind? The room was the place where I told him a thousand stories and we had a thousand talks. As close as we were, though, the time came when Jeff needed a door between us. His life was spreading into areas that had less to do with family. I no longer could-or-should know everything about him.
It turned out that getting Jeff‟s permission was easy. He said, “Of course, Mum, it would be selfish of me to hold on to it.” Then his voice softened, “Mum, I won‟t b e living at home again — you know that.” Behind his glasses, his eyes were lit with all the love. There were no doors closed here — they had all opened up again.
As John and I were cleaning the room, I fixed my eyes on Jeff‟s things around me and could alm ost touch the little boy I knew was gone forever. I looked at the room and, in my heart, I let it go. To hold on would be, as Jeff said, selfish. Now it was time for John, shouldering through the door, his eyes bright with promise of independence, to disappear behind the door. It was time for letting go to happen again.
32. The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably means “______”.
A. Jeff needed his right to privacy
B. Jeff finally flew out of the house
C. Jeff got tired of those familiar stories
D. Jeff would have less to do with his family
33. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. John was moving to live with his brother.
B. John was eager to get a room of his own.
C. Jeff volunteered to give his room to John.
D. Jeff refused to let his brother have his room.
34. How did the author feel about her children‟s sense of independence?
A. Delighted.
B. Jealous.
C. Mixed.
D. Embarrassed.
35. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A. the children did not like to live with adults
B. all her three kids made the author feel depressed
C. none of the members in the family thought the same way
D. the author loved and missed the time together with her kids

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Does this situation seem familiar to you? Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem, you are communicating quite fluently. 36 First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening comprehension is probably the most difficult task for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. So, the most important thing is to listen as often as possible.
37 The Internet i s really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from , which allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.
Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated by limited understanding. 38
Here is some of the advice I give my students:
Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.
Keep cool when you do not understand—even if you continue not to understand for a long time.
39 Don‟t concentrate on details until you have understood the main idea.
40 This appro ach usually results in confusion. Translating leads to a kind of block in one‟s brain which sometimes doesn‟t allow us to understand anything at all!
By remaining calm, allowing yourself not to understand, and not to translate while listening, your brain is free to concentrate on the most important thing: understanding English in English.
A. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly.
B. What should you do?
C. Do not translate everything into your native language.
D. This situation leads to less—not more—understanding.
E. The next step is to find listening resources.
F. Listen for the general idea of the conversation.
G. But listening is STILL a problem.
