A
Four Simple Keys to Transform Your Life
The Power of Choice.
Every one of us makes countless choices every day. Every choice we make has an impact on our lives. Even insignificant choices can affect what we experience
and how we feel. When hunger strikes, we can reach for a healthy, nutritious snack, or we can choose the sugar high of junk food. The more important the decision, the greater its effect. For instance, how do I act towards that person who treated me badly? Do I generally choose to be passive, or do I actively set clear intentions and create what I want in my life? Every choice we make, however big or small, affects us in some way.
How Do You Make Choices?
If you are interested in living a richer, fuller life, there is a foundation upon which you can base all of your decisions which can make life better not only for you, but also for those around you. This foundation is to choose based on what's best for all. Imagine a world where every parent, spouse (配偶), friend, teacher, businessperson, and politician truly did their best to choose what's best for all involved in every decision they made. We would certainly live in a more caring, supportive world.
It's the Intention.
“But how do I know what is really best?”you might ask. The answer is simple. It doesn't matter. What matters is not the choice you make, but rather the intention behind your choice. What matters is that whatever decision you make, you are clear in your intention of choosing based on what's best for all. If it later turns out that you made what appears to have been a bad choice, there's no need for guilt. Knowing that you did your best to choose with a sincere desire for what's best for all, your conscience stays clear and open. This then allows you to more easily learn from your mistakes, and to live with a clear heart and mind.
What's Best for Me, Too!
Choosing what's best does not mean you have to always sacrifice yourself for others. An overly (过度的) exhausted mother can lose her temper easily. Some time off for this mother might seem selfish, yet in the long run, it can help her to be a better mother to her children. So as we move through each day of our lives, let us remember to include ourselves as we do our best to choose what's best for all.
56. According to the passage, which of the following statements is FALSE?
A. Every one of us makes countless choices every day.
B. Every choice, however big or small, has an influence on us.
C. People act differently towards the person who treated them badly.
D. People tend to reach for a junk snack when hunger strikes.
57. How should we make choices?
A. To be interested in a richer, fuller life.
B. To make life better for ourselves.
C. To base our choices on what's best for all.
D. To imagine a world where everyone did their best.
58. According to the author, what is really best?
A. The choice you make.
B. The intention behind your
choice.
C. The mistake you learn from.
D. The consequence of your
choice.
59. To choose what is best for us, we’d better _______.
A. try to be selfish all the time
B. sacrifice ourselves for others
C. set aside some time for ourselves
D. control our temper before children
B
Cambodians are continuing to mourn the death of King-Father Norodom Sihanouk, who died in Beijing this week. In an exclusive interview with CCTV, China’s ambassador to Cambodia, Pan Guangxue, says Sihanouk made indelible (不可磨灭的) contributions to Sino-Cambodian relations and his death will not affect the friendship between the two countries.
Since its founding, the People’s Republic of China has maintained close contact with Cambodia. Bilateral (双边的) trade volume has increased rapidly in recent years, from 200 million US dollars in 2002 to nearly 2.5 billion US dollars in 2011.
China is now not only Cambodia’s third largest trading partner, but for many years has been Cambodia’s number one investor. Norodom Sihanouk, Cambodia’s “King-Father” pioneered the relationship.
Pan Guangxue said, “If we look back at previous decades, I think Sihanouk made the right choice, a choice beneficial to Cambodian national development. It was because of his commitment to the development of Sino-Cambodia friendship that we’ve achieved what we have today.”
In 2010, the two countries established a comprehensive strategic partnership, during its Prime Minister Hun Sen’s visit to China.
And 2013 is set to be China-Cambodia Friendship Year.
Pan Guangxue said, “Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said on many occasions that China does not tell Cambodia what to do or what not to do. China does not point fingers at Cambodia. I think this is a true evaluation of Sino-Cambodian relations. China pursues an independent peaceful foreign policy of non-alignment (不结盟) and non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries.”
The ambassador says Sihanouk’s death is a huge loss to both China and Cambodia, but that bilateral relations will not be affected.
Pan Guangxue said, “I believe the bilateral relationship will be sustained
and grow even stronger.”
With both countries enjoying the benefits of the fruitful relationship, the governments of China and Cambodia have promised that Sihanouk’s legacy (遗产) will continue to be the foundation of even stronger ties.

NEW YORK-Workers in New York City and nearby towns raced to fix damaged power grids and traffic systems after “superstorm”Sandy left a strip of destruction across 15 US states and cut power to more than 8 million people.
“In 108 years, our employees have never faced a challenge like the one that faces us now,”said Joseph Lhota, chairman of MTA, which operates New York City's subway system that has been suspended due to historic flooding in some tunnels. Partial subway service was restarted on Thursday.
“All of us at the MTA are committed to restoring the system as quickly as we can to help bring New York back to normal.”
Much of the lower half of Manhattan is still without power. Thousands of homes and small businesses may have to put up with darkness at least until this weekend.
Nearby areas are struggling to recover from flooding and damages after Hurricane Sandy struck the US East Coast and made a landfall at New Jersey Monday
evening.
At least 115 people have died from Sandy in the United States since Monday, including 39 from New York City, police said. In New Jersey, the death toll had reached 13 as search and rescue teams gained access to stricken areas.
As Sandy faded further inland, bus and bridge services in New York City were restarted late Tuesday, but road blocking was ubiquitous in Manhattan because of a loss of subway service across NYC.
The UN Headquarters in New York, located along the East River, were closed for three days due to the storm and suffered damage from high winds and flooding. It reopened on Thursday.
With superstorm Sandy fading, Obama and his Republican challenger Mitt Romney Thursday were back on the campaign trail, trying to make up for the lost time as they dashed towards the finish line.
The two candidates were making closing arguments before Americans head to polling stations (投票站) across the country next Tuesday in the question, “Where will the voters go to cast their ballots (投票)—particularly for parts of New York City and New Jersey where hundreds of thousands of people remained without power?”
Local election boards are assessing their polling sites to decide which ones would be up and running by Tuesday's election while utility (公共事业) companies hope to get the electricity back on time for Election Day.
64. According to the passage, the superstorm Sandy _______.
A. has been the worst ever since 108 years ago
B. has swept across 15 US states and killed 115 people
C. has destroyed The UN Headquarters in New York
D. has ruined the polling stations across the country
65. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A. Sandy caused power failure across the country
B. There are 8 million people in the east coast of the US
C. The US President Election Day is drawing near
D. Obama has more advantages than Romney in the election
66. What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” probably mean?
A. Controversial.
B. Common.
C. Confidential.
D. Critical.

A moment later I heard my uncle calling me, and found the two men on the road together. The captain then addressed me as if I was his equal, which was very pleasing to a young fellow like me.
“Sir,”said he, “Mr. Balfour tells me great things of you, and I like your looks. I wish I was staying here longer so that we might become friends. But we'll make the most of the short time that we have. You must come on board my brig (双
桅船) for half an hour and have a drink with me.”
Now, I cannot describe how eager I was to see the inside of a ship. But I was not going to put myself in danger, and I told him my uncle and I had an appointment with a lawyer.
“Yes,” said he, “he told me of that. But, you see, the boat will set you on shore farther along, near Rankeillor's house.” And here he suddenly leaned down and whispered in my ear: “Take care; the old devil (恶魔) has evil plans. Come on board till I can have a word with you.”
Then, passing his arm through mine, he continued aloud, as he set off towards his boat: “Now what can I bring you from Carolina? Any friend of Mr. Balfour can ask for what he likes. A roll of tobacco? Indian feather work? A wild beast's skin?
A stone pipe? A mocking-bird that cries just like a cat? Make your choice and give your order.”
By this time we were beside his boat and he was helping me in. I did not dream of refusing. I thought (like a fool) that I had found a friend and helper, and I was looking forward to seeing the ship. As soon as we were all in our places the boat was pushed off and began to move over the water. I was so delighted with this new experience that I hardly understood what the captain said, and must have answered him without thinking.
As soon as we were alongside, Hoseason ordered a rope and chair to be sent down, declaring that he and I must be the first to go on board. I was lifted into the air and set down again on the deck (甲板), where the captain stood waiting for me and immediately slipped his arm under mine. I stood there, rather confused and perhaps a little afraid, but delighted with the strange things all around me, while the captain pointed out some of the strangest and told me their names and uses.
And then I saw that my uncle was not with us.
I felt I was lost. With all my strength, I tore myself out of the captain's grasp and ran to the side of the ship. Yes, there was the boat being rowed back to the shore, with my uncle sitting in it. I gave a wild cry-so loud that it rang out over the harbor, and my uncle turned around and showed me a face full of cruelty and terror.
That was the last thing I saw. Already strong hands had been pulling me back from the ship's side, and now lightning seemed to strike me. I saw a great flash of fire, and fell unconscious.
67. This passage might be taken from _______.
A. a fashion magazine
B. a literature novel
C. a science fiction
D. a newspaper report
68. Rankeillor, in the fourth paragraph, is perhaps ________.
A. a lawyer
B. a devil
C. a captain
D. a house
69. The captain tried to please the author by _______.
A. treating the author as a lovely child
B. promising to buy the author what he liked
C. finding the author a friend and a helper
D. taking the author to the lawyer’s house
70. We can infer from the passage that _______.
A. the uncle had an ugly face
B. the author got killed in the end
C. the uncle seemed to know everything ahead of time
D. the author was so frightened that he fell unconscious

注意：每空只填1个单词。

Loneliness is a feeling where people experience a powerful rush of emptiness and solitude (孤独). Loneliness is more than the feeling of wanting company or wanting to do something with another person. Someone who is lonely may find it hard to form human contact.
Loneliness is not the same as being alone. Many people have times when they are alone through circumstances or choice. Being alone can be experienced as positive, pleasurable, and emotionally refreshing if it is under the individual’s control.
According to the latest investigation by psychologists in the United States of America, most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for years. Now researchers say there are different types of loneliness.
The first kind of loneliness is temporary. This is the most common type. It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind, situational loneliness, is a natural result of a particular situation—for example, a family problem, the death of a loved one, moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year.
The third kind of loneliness is the most severe. Unlike the second type, chronic loneliness usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close
to others. Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.
Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person’s social contacts, such as friends, family members and co-workers. We depend on various people for different reasons. For instance, our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share similar interests with us. However, psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more. They question their own popularity.
Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to be socialized and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease. While temporary and situational loneliness can be a normal, healthy part of life, chronic loneliness can be a very sad, and sometimes dangerous condition.

All of us experience failure and are afraid of it. However, every coin has two sides. Failure also has its advantages. It provides us with an opportunity to see our strengths and weaknesses clearly, enabling us to find what is the most suitable for us. On the other hand, failure can be a good teacher. It tells us
where we need improvements, where we should invest more time and energy, and what strategy to take.
Failure is something unavoidable. Properly handled, though, it can teach us a lot. Firstly, we should face it bravely instead of complaining about the unfairness of life. Secondly, we should analyze the reasons timely to avoid making similar mistakes. Last but not least, we are supposed to make appropriate changes and more efforts. Only in this way are we more likely to succeed.
As for me, I have a positive attitude towards failure, because I believe there is always some wisdom to be learned from failure. I will keep in mind that failure is the mother of success. (157words)
部分题目解析：
第22题：答案C。

本题学生可能会误选B。

一些学生误认为这是由that引导的一个定语从句，但是仔细分析句子结构发现，空格处其实缺少的是一个省略了关系代词
的定语从句中的主语，所以用代词it来指代前面提及的word power section。

第23题：答案B。

expect一词用于被动语态通常用一般现在时表示将来发生的事情，此词
不用于一般将来时中。

第26题：答案B。

学生会误选D。

本题中identity意为“特点，特征”，学生只会记得该词
的另一个意义“身份”，personality意为“个性，特点”，常用来指人。

第29题：答案C。

本题错误率较高。

Be reduced to doing意为“沦落为…”，其中的to 为介
词，因此不应该把否定词not放于其前面，not应该放在eating的前面。

学生
都习惯了not to这种形式，所以会误选。
