A
I grew up in a small town. My father raised chickens and ran a construction company. I was barely 10 years old when my dad gave me the responsibility of feeding the chickens and cleaning up the stable. He believed it was important for me to have those jobs to learn responsibility.
When I was 22, I found a job in Natchbill at a country music club called the Natchbill Palace, I washed dishes and cooked from 4: 00 pm to 9: 00 pm and then went on stage and sang until 2:00 in the morning. It wasn't long before I became known as a singing cook. I had been rejected so many times by record companies that it was hard not to be discouraged. One night, a woman executive (董事长) from a company named Warner Brothers Records came to hear me sing. When the show was over, we sat down and talked and after she left, I said to myself it was one more rejection. A few weeks later, my manager received a phone call --- Warner Brothers wanted to sign me to a record deal. Soon after, I released my first record in June 1986. It sold over 2 million copies.
My best efforts had gone into every job I've ever held. It was the sense of responsibility that made me feel like a man. Knowing that I had done my best filled me with pride. I still feel that way today, even though I have become a well-known singer.
21. Why was the writer once known as the singing cook?
A. Because he sang for guests while he worked as a cook.
B. Because he was a cook at a country-music club.
C. Because he often sang while cooking.
D. Because he liked singing better than cooking.
22. Who first recognized his talents and helped make his career successful?
A. Warner Brothers.
B. His father.
C. A business woman.
D. His manager.
23. What made the writer proud of himself?
A. His ability to live independently.
B. His sense of responsibility in whatever he did.
C. His courage in the face of rejections.
D. His hard work in his early days.
I’ve been in the taxicab business for thirty-five years, and I know there is a lot about it that is not so good. Taxicab drivers have to be tough fellows to be able to work in New York. You’ve got to fight the New York traffic eight hours a day these days, so people get the wrong impression that they are bad.
Actually, taxi drivers are just like other people. Most of them will behave as honest fellows. You read in the papers almost every week that a taxi driver turns in money or jewels that people leave in their cabs. If they weren’t honest, you wouldn’t be reading those stories in the papers.
One time in Brooklyn, I found a diamond ring in my cab. I remembered helping a lady with a lot of packages that day, so I went back to where I had dropped her. It took me almost two days to trace her down in order to return her ring to her. I didn’t get as much as “thank you”. Still I felt good because I had done what was right. I think I felt better than she did.
I was born and raised in Ireland and lived there until I was nineteen years old. Then I came to this country where I had a family and bought my own cab. Li fe hasn’t been too easy at times, but my wife takes care of our money and we have a good bit put away for a rainy day.
When I started driving a cab, Park Avenue was mostly a bunch of coal yards. Hoofer’s Brewery was right next to where the Waldorf-Astoria is now. I did pretty well, even in those days. In all my years of driving a taxicab, I have never had any trouble with the public, not even with drunks.
I believe honesty is one of the greatest gifts. I know they call it a lot of fancy names these days, like integrity (正直), etc. But it doesn’t make any difference what they call it; it’s still what makes a man a good citizen. This is my code, and I try to live by.
24. Why do people think taxicab drivers are bad according to the passage?
A. They have been cheated by taxicab drivers before.
B. Most taxicab drivers are tough fellows.
C. Taxicab drivers are dishonest.
D. Some taxicab drivers did not return their lost properties.
25. How did the author return the diamond ring to the lady?
A. By giving her a call and visiting her.
B. By sending her a letter asking her to claim the ring in person.
C. By advertising in the papers.
D. By going back to where she got off and traced her down for almost 2 days.
26. The underlined phrase “a rainy day” in paragraph 4 refers to ______.
A. a day when it rains
B. a time when the author has trouble with drunks
C. a day when the author can’t drive a taxi
D. a time when a family has financial problems
27. How does the author feel as a taxicab driver?
A. Proud and satisfied.
B. Annoyed and stressful.
C. Disappointed and discouraged.
D. Unwilling and regretful.
Working women make up nearly half of the U.S. workforce, and 51 percent of professional workers, like doctors, lawyers, nurses and accountants, are female. While climbing the career ladder can be rewarding, it often comes with one big downside: weight gain!
New research published this week in the International Journal of Obesity shows that working women are more likely to be overweight, and the more you wo rk, the more pounds you’re likely to pile on. Like many women, I work a lot! As a self-employed nutrition communications specialist, I sit at my desk, in front of a computer, for hours on end. Sitting alone is one of the worst things you can do for your he alth, and it’s directly linked to being overweight and increased fatness, so the fact that women in the workforce gain weight isn’t that surprising. If you work, you have less time to move around. Obesity（肥胖症）researchers are revealing many other ways that employment is harmful to your diet and waistline.
In the International Journal of Obesity study, some 9,276 Australian women aged 45-50 had their body weight and employment status monitored for two years. Results? Those who worked more than 35 hours were likely to gain weight compared to those who worked fewer hours or were out of the workforce. What’s more, the more hours a woman worked in a week, the more weight she gained.
The authors of the Australian study attribute weight gain among working women to inactivity, lack of time for food preparation, more use of prepared foods, high levels of stress, lack of sleep and consuming more alcohol. I’ll also add in travel, meals eaten out and working at night as other factors that I can find to make balancing work with a healthy diet a challenge.
28. The text above is probably taken from ______.
A. a sports report
B. a health and fitness magazine
C. a fashion journal
D. an advertisement post
29. A woman who works as an accountant is more likely to ______.
A. keep a balanced diet
B. have more time to move around
C. work a full time job
D. gain more weight
30. Which is NOT the cause of working women weight gaining according to the passage？
A. Taking part in more activities.
B. Using more prepared food.
C. Consuming too much alcohol.
D. Lacking time for food preparation.
31. What can be a suitable title for the test?
A. Less activity leads to fat.
B. Ways of gaining weight.
C. Working women more likely pile on pounds.
D. Effects of weight gaining.
Students at Monument High School are participating in a unique activity called the Independent Project. The program is an “alternative” school that’s completely run by students —no teachers, parents, or adults are allowed—and they’re in charg e of deciding their entire courses. What these teens study in the classroom and their homework are all entirely up to them.
Students aren’t taking this lightly—instead of reacting irresponsibly to the freedom to design their own studies, they’re eagerly gr asping their own interests by writing poetry collections, learning instruments and taking flight lessons.
“I think the more choices we have in our schools, the more students we will help develop into the kind of citizens that we need,” Principal Marianne Young explains. “And that it’s okay for you to need a little bit of a different approach from mine.”
The only structure to the program is this: On Mondays students come up with questions that interest them about one of their school subjects, then they spend the rest of the week researching and coming up with potential conclusions to these inquiries. On Fridays, they present this information to their classmates.
Teens express their satisfaction with the program because it accommodates different kinds of learners, even those who don't always succeed in a traditional academic sense.
“I have dyslexia (阅读障碍), so it’s very hard reading and writing and doing those sorts of things. School has always been a big problem for me,” one student named Sergio explains. “If n ot for this program, I don’t know if I’d be graduating--I don’t know where I’d be right now. I think this has really been my savior and got me through the last two years of high school.”
32. What can we know about the Independent Project?
A. Normal school courses are a must.
B. There’re no teachers involved in it.
C. It aims to help students with math.
D. Students must study courses at home.
33. According to Principal Marianne Young, ________.
A. more course choices will benefit top students
B. teacher s play a key role in students’ education
C. different learning styles should be encouraged
D. knowledge can be better gained by discussions
34. What’s teens’ attitude towards the Independent Project?
A. Approving.
B. Cautious.
C. Doubtful.
D. Critical.
35. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The structure of a learning program.
B. The benefits of interactive learning.
C. An unusual educational program.
D. The differences in individual learning.
第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）

___36___You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how.
Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. ___37___ A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you realize what is happening to your time.

If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. ___39___ If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you’ll remember it longer.
Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new kn owledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be over worried.
