(共20题，每小题1分；满分20分) Whatever misfortune you face, just hold up your head and face it with a smile! I got to know this from a musical soul.
She was singing songs about love and her sweet voice 45 me a bit. Then I stood there watching her playing, thinking that it must take 46 to perform on her own in front of hundreds of people she didn’t know.
She might have felt my 47 for she occasionally looked in my direction.
By now I was telling myself that I could at least tell her how good she sounded.
I walked 48 and put some money in her box and she expressed her thanks with a smile on her face.
I asked her 49 , “Why are you playing the piano in the middle of this crowded place?”
She explained to me that she saw so many 50 people in the world that she was trying to relieve the pain by 51 motivational(激励的) music.
Instead of continuing my way home, I said to her, “I have been going through
a 52 time lately, bu t you’ve made me 53 again.”
“I’m happy that I could be 54 to you,” she replied. “Why are you so sad?”
I told her my story and said, “I’m not so 55 about what to do….”
“You see, here’s the 56 ,” she responded. “When you were walking, you r head was down.” She looked at me in the eyes and went on, “Don’t look defeated, because 57 comes in different ways and if your head is down you might never see it. You should 58 more … lift your head up.”
I was really 59 by what she said! I did hold my head up and soon got through the difficult time.
So 60 in trouble, just face it bravely and you are sure to overcome your difficulty sooner or later.

（共25小题，每小题2分，满分50分）
A
My father had always been an alert observer of human character. Within seconds of meeting someone, he could sum up their strengths and weaknesses. It was always a challenge to see if any of my boyfriends could pass Dad’s test. None did. Dad was always right—they didn’t pass my test either. After Dad died, I wondered how I’d figure it out on my own.
That’s when Jack arrived on the scene. He was different from any other guy I’d dated. He could sit for hours on the piano bench with my mother, discussing some composers. My brother Rick loudly announced that Jack wasn’t a turkey like the other guys I’d brought home. Jack passed my family’s test. But what about Dad’s?
Then came my mother’s bi rthday. The day he was supposed to drive, I got a call. “Don’t worry,” he said, “but I’ve been in an accident. I’m fine, but I need you to pick me up.”
When I got there, we rushed to a flower shop for something for Mom. “How about gardenias (栀子花) ?” Jack s aid, pointing at a beautiful white corsage (胸花). The florist put the corsage in a box.
The entire ride, Jack was unusually quiet. “Are you all right?” I asked. “I’ve been doing a lot of thinking,” he said. “I might be moving.” Moving? Then he added, “Moving in with you.” I nearly put the car on the sidewalk. “What?” I asked. “I think we should get married,” he said. He told me he’d planned his proposal in a fancy restaurant, but after the accident, he decided to do it right away. “Yes,”
I whispered. We both sat dumbfounded, tears running down our cheeks. I’d never known such a tender moment, if only Dad were here to give his final approval.
“Oh, let’s just go inside.” Jack laughed. My mother opened the door. “Happy Birthday!” we shouted. Jack handed the box to her. She opened it up. Suddenly, her eyes were filled with tears. “Mom, what’s wrong?” I asked. “I’m sorry,” she said, wiping her eyes. “This is only the second gardenia corsage I’ve ever received.
I was given many years ago, long before you kids were b orn.” “From who m?” I asked. “Your father,” Mom said. “He gave me one right before we were engaged.” My eyes locked on Jack’s as I blinked away(眨掉) tears. Dad’s test? I knew Jack had passed.

Have you got a Facebook account? Are you thinking of getting one? Jamie Simmonds has just signed up. Let’s see how she’s getting along.
My Diary
MONDAY: I’m officially a Facebooker. I find a few people I used to know and I’ve soon got seven friends. I’ve never felt so popular! I wonder if my old university flatmate Steve is on here…What do you know? He is! Maybe Facebook has its uses. TUESDAY: I’ve received lots of nice welcoming messages on my wall. Later, I meet up with Steve for a drink after not seeing him for five years. We get on really well! Then, he uses his Facebook app for iPhone to suggest me as a friend to some other former classmates. Some of them even come to the pub and it’s just like old times – possibly a bit too much like old times. During the night, photos are uploaded to Facebook.
WEDNESDAY: Disaster! My mum’s on Facebook! Has she seen the photos of me dancing on the table from last night? Has she shown them to dad? Oh. And I have a friend request – mum again!
THURSDAY: There’s a message from my boyfriend, “so, it’s over then, is it?” Evidently I haven’t changed my settings to show I’m “in a relationship”, and I haven’t even added him as a friend. Ah, well, I wonder what my ex-boyfriend is doing… Whoops! I accidentally type his name into my status box i nstead of the search ‘and now everyone can see it on their news feed.’
FRIDAY: Time to update my status: “Work is boring. Can’t wait for the weekend!” Yeah, that about sums it up. Oh, look, I’ve received a comment! Someone must feel the same way. Lots of my friends now “like” this status.
SATURDAY: Good news! I’ve got 100 friends. But wait! Someone’s “un-friended” me!
I look through my “friend list” to try to work out who it was. Why did they do that? Am I really such a terrible person? I never know Facebook could be this cruel. SUNDAY: Wake up. Check my Facebook page. Make coffee. Check my Facebook page again. Get ready to leave. Change my mind and check my Facebook page … again. I am becoming addicted to it! I think it’s time to end it all before it takes over my life. I delete my account. Back to good, old, simple e-mails. Oh, look, I’ve got a message: A friend invite you to join Twitter. . .
In July 2010, Facebook had more than 500 million active users. The average Facebook user has 130 friends. Facebook is translated into more than 70 different languages. The world spends 700 billion minutes a month on Facebook. Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook page says he’s a Harvard graduate, even though he actually
dropped out to focus on Facebook. The site is valued at between $7.9 and $11 billion.

Teachers and parents usually pay attention to the pictures when they read storybooks to preschool children. But a new study suggests that paying attention to the words and letters on the page may lead to better readers.
The two-year study compared children who were read to this way in class with children who were not. Those whose teachers most often discussed the print showed clearly higher skills in reading, spelling and understanding. These results were found one year and even two years later.
Shayne Piasta, an assistant professor of teaching and learning at Ohio State University, was an author of the study. She says most preschool teachers would find this method manageable and would need only a small change in the way they teach. They already read storybooks in class. The only difference would be increased attention to the printed text.
Ms. Piasta says if you get children to pay attention to letters and words, it makes sense that they will do better at word recognition and spelling. But she says research suggests that very few parents and teachers do this in a systematic way.
The report appears in the journal Child Development.
More than three hundred children age four and five were observed in classrooms in Ohio and Virginia. The children came from poor families and were below average in their language skills. This put them at risk for reading problems later.
For thirty weeks, the children took part in a program called Project STAR, for Sit Together And Read. The project is based at Ohio State. It tests the short-term and long-term results of reading regularly to preschool children in their classrooms.
Laura Justice at Ohio State is an investigator for the study. She heads the Preschool Language and Literacy Laboratory. She says one of the areas that interests researchers is known as the “locus of learning.”“Where is it that a child learns something? Where is that space? We think we have identified it pretty well in terms of fostering some children’s knowledge about print,” says Laura Justice. She also says this knowledge can be gained by having focused discussions when reading a book to a child. LAURA JUSTICE: “We think we understand how information about print is transmitted from the adult to the child. And we think we have centered on this intervention that really helps adults center in on the things that children need and want to learn.”There are different ways that adults can talk to children about print. They can point to a letter and discuss it, and even trace the shape with a finger. They can point out a word: “This is 'dog.'” They can discuss the meaning of the print or how the words tell the story. And they can talk about the organization of the print -- for instance, showing how words are written left to right in English.
70. When reading storybooks to their children, parents usually______.
attract attention to the pictures B. discuss the stories with each other.
C. tell some background information first
D. ask some questions about the stories.
71. Shayne Piasta suggests that preschool teachers should _______.
read storybooks regularly in class B. learn to manage their class well C. often discuss the printed words and letters D. search for a better method of reading
72. The children who joined in Project STAR were ______.
mostly cleverer than others B. very poor in their reading
C. especially good at language skills
D. worried about reading problems
73. The underlined word “locus” in Paragraph 8 can be replaced by ________. difficulty B. importance C. best way D. exact place 74. The last paragraph mainly tells us ______.
why we should discuss the meaning of the print B. how we can teach children about print
C. the shape of the letter is the focus of teaching
D. English words are usually written from left to right
D
You may have heard of the man who decided to repair the roof of his house. To be safe, he tied a rope around his waist and threw the other end of it over the top of the house. He asked his son to tie it to something secure. The boy fastened the safety rope to the bumper(保险杠) of their car parked in the driveway. It seemed like a good idea at the time. But a little while later, his wife, unaware of the rope securing her husband, she started the car and drove away. Imagine what the result would be. This story, factual or not, points to a great truth. It is a truth about where we place our security; about those things to which we’ve tied our safety lines. What is your rope tied to? Think about it. What do you depend on to keep you from disaster? Is your rope tied to a good job? Is it tied to a relationship with somebody you rely
on? Is it tied to a company or an organization?
Writer Susan Taylor tells of discovering how unreliable some of our safety lines really are. She tells of lying in bed in the early hours of the morning when an earthquake struck. As her house shook, she fell out of bed and managed to go to the doorway watching in horror as her whole house cracked down around her. Where her bed had once stood, she later discovered nothing but a pile of bricks. She lost everything---every button, every dish, her automobile, and every article of clothing. Susan trembled, scared and cried in the darkness. In the early morning she cried and called out for help. Thoroughly exhausted, she thought that maybe she should be listening for rescuers instead of crying. So she grew still and listened. In the silence around her, the only sound she heard was the beating of her own heart. It occurred to her then that at least she was still alive and, amazingly enough, unhurt.
She thought about her situation. In the stillness, fear abandoned her and a feeling of indescribable peace and happiness flooded in, the likes of which she had never before known. It was an experience that was to change her life forever.
In the deepest part of her being, Susan realized a remarkable truth. She realized she had nothing to fear. Amazingly, whether or not she was ever rescued, whether she ever made it out alive, she sensed she had nothing to fear.
For the first time in her life she understood that her true security did not depend on those things in which she had placed her trust. It lay deep within. And also for the first time, she knew what it was to be content in all circumstances. She realized that whether she had plenty or hardly enough, somehow she would be all right. She just knew it. She later wrote, “Before the quake I appeared very successful, but my life was out of balance. I wasn’t happy because I had been making money and always wanting more. My home, my job, my clothes, a relationship — I thought they were my security. It took an earthquake and lost everything I owned for me to discover that my security had been with me all along…There’s a power within us that we can depend upon no matter what is h appening around us.”
She had tied her rope to the wrong things. It took a disaster for her to understand that those things are not trustworthy. So she let go of the rope and discovered peace. She found that her true security was a power within- dependable and sure.
What is your rope tied to? And what would happen if you found the courage to let go of it?
75. In Paragraph 1, the writer tells the story of the man to___________.
A. describe a scene
B. introduce a topic
C. offer an argument
D. satisfy the readers’ curiosity
76. If the story of the man was true, the most probable result would be that___________.
A. the bumper of the car broke up
B. the house was destroyed by the car
C. the man was badly injured or even killed
D. the wife was scolded by her husband
77. Why was Susan crying in the darkness?
A. Because she was afraid of staying in the dark.
B. Because she wanted to be heard by the rescuers.
C. Because she was frightened and felt helpless.
D. Because she had tied her rope to the wrong thing.
78. What did Susan feel after she thought about her situation?
A. She felt she was still alive.
B. She felt very peaceful.
C. She felt completely hopeless.
D. She wanted to change her life forever.
79. How did Susan like interpersonal relationship and income before the earthquake?
A. They were meaningless.
B. They were very important.
C. They were unnecessary.
D. They were among some choices.
80. Which of the following should be the best title?
A. An Experience from an Earthquake.
B. A Rope Tied to a Car.
