ARaised in a motherless home, my father was extremely tightfisted towards us children. His attitude didn‟t soften as I grew into ad ulthood and went to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in severe weather. If I grumbled, he‟d say in his loudest father-voice, “That‟s what your legs are for!”The w alk didn‟t bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway andcountry roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didn‟t seem concerned about my safety. But that feeling was gone one spring evening.It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached the stop, I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.A row of hedge（树篱）edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last part of my journey, I always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge, moving toward the house. Upon closer observation, I realized it was the top of my father‟s head. Then I knew, each time I‟d come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely.I swallowed hard against the tears. He did care, after all.On later visits, that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home, I would find my father sitting innocently(天真地) in his chair. “So! My son, it‟s you!” he‟d say, his face lengthening into pretended surprise.I replied, “Yes, Dad, it‟s me. I‟m home.”21. What does the underlined word “grumbled” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Accepted happily.B. Explained clearly.C. Agreed willingly.D. Spoke unhappily.22. What made the author feel upset was ______.A. the tiredness after long hours in labsB. the fear of seeing something movingC. the feeling of being less than valuedD. the loneliness of riding the bus home23. The author‟s father watched behind the hedge because ______.A. he was concerned about his son‟s safetyB. he wanted to help his son build up courageC. he didn‟t want to meet his son at the doorwayD. he didn‟t think his son was old enough to walk alone24. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. My Father‟s Secret.B. My College Life.C. Terrible Journey Home.D. Riding Bus Alone.BWelcome to Gold Coast Wax MuseumThe Gold Wax(蜡像) Museum is one of the Gold Coast's longest running attractions. It's a collection of famous figures.

You will most probably find this passage ____________.A. in a guidebookB. in a magazineC. in a text bookD. on a webpageCThe spread of Western eating habits around the world is bad for human health and the environment. These findings come from a new report in the journal Nature.David Tillman, a professor of ecology at the University of Minnesota, America, examined information from 100 countries to identify what people ate and how diet affected health. He noted a movement beginning in the 1960s. He found that as nations industrialized, population increased and earnings rose, more people began to adopt(采纳) what has been called the Western diet.The Western diet is high in sugar, fat, oil and meat. By eating these foods, people began to get fatter and sicker. David Tillman says overweight people are at greater risk for non-infectious diseases like diabetes（糖尿病）and heart disease.Unfortunately when people become industrialized, if they adopt this Western diet, they are going to have these health problems, especially in developing countries in Asia. China is anexample where the number of diabetes cases has been jumping from less than one percent to 10 percent of the population as they began to industrialize over a 20-year period. And that is happening all across the world, in Mexico, in Nigeria and so on.And, a diet bad for human beings, is also bad for the environment. As the world's population grows, more forests and tropical（热带的）areas will become farmland for crops or grasslands for cattle. We are likely to have more greenhouse gas in the future from agriculture than that coming out of all forms of transportation right now.Mr. Tillman calls the link between diet, the environment and human health, "a trilemma": a problem offering a difficult choice. He says one possible settlement is leaving the Western diet behind.28. According to the passage, more greenhouse gas might be given off in the future from ____________.A. transportationB. developing countriesC. agricultureD. developed countries29. David Tilman believes that__________.A. diet, the environment and human health are closely connectedB. the Western diet is the only choice as the nation industrializesC. people in tropical areas are more likely to have heart diseaseD. traditional diets are more balanced than the Western diet30. We can infer from the passage that ___________.A. Nigeria has the largest number of diabetes casesB. overweight people are at higher risk of infectious diseasesC. the examined information comes from developing countriesD. industrialization contributes to the spread of the Western diet31. The main purpose of the passage is to___________.A. call on us to protect the environmentB. warn us of the danger of the Western dietC. remind us of the importance of healthD. advise us to have a balanced dietDWhat should you think about when trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boywho is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow rules and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular career you see from the inside in a part-time job.Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a number of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic(认错的) about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.32. What is the passage mainly about?A. The importance of working hard at school.B. Choosing a career according to one‟s strengths.C. How to face one‟s weakness.D. The value of school work.33. The writer thinks that for a student to have a part-time job is probably __________.A. a good way to find out his weak pointsB. one of the best ways of earning extra moneyC. of great use for his work in the futureD. a waste of time he could have spent on study34. From the passage we learn that if a student‟s school performance is not good, he _________.A. should pay more attention to learning skills and developing abilitiesB. will be regretful about his bad resultsC. may also do well in his future workD. should restart his study in school35. The underlined phrase “be all thumbs” (in para. 3) probably means “_______”.A. be not good at doing thingsB. be skillful in doing thingsC. be not interested in certain thingsD. be easily bored in doing things第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
