It is said a fish head is good for brain. If you eat one, you’ll become cleverer indeed. Pay only three pounds for one fish head.” The boy paid him three pounds and the fis herman cut off a fish head and handed it to him.A raw fish head is not good—not even for a hungry boy to eat but the boy ate it up in two gu lps.“Do you feel anything?” asked the fisherman.“Not in my head,” said the boy.The boy lay on the ground and thought. “One whole fish cos ts only two pounds. I had paid him three pounds for the fish h ead. Why couldn’t I have the whole fish for soup, a head for br ain and one pound left over?” He jumped up and shouted at t he fisherman. “You thief! You are fooling me!” The fisherman l aughed, saying, “The fish head works now, you see.”21. The boy ate up the raw fish head only in two gulps, becau se he __________.A. enjoy itB. wanted to taste itC. took it as a good medicineD. was a foolish boy22. “Not in my head” means “__________.”A.

The boy paid three pounds. He should have had ________ __.A. a whole fishB. a fish head and one pound backC. a whole fish and one pound backD. a whole fish, a fish head and one pound backBRecently a professor of philosophy in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of Life. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day-to-day life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the e xercises he asked his students to do is to keep a record of ev ery penny they spend for a week. From the way they spend th eir money, they can see what they really value in life.He says our relation with others often become clearly defined when money enters the picture. You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you arevery good friends. But you’ll know him only when you ask t o lend you some money. If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems stranger than ever before. Or it can s uddenly weaken the relationship if he doesn’t. This person ma y say that he has a certain feeling, but if it is not carried out in the money world, there is something less real about it.Since money is important to us, we consider those who pos sess a lot of it to be very important. The author interviewed so me millionaires in researching his book.Question: What is the most surprising thing you have disco vered about being rich, because you are a self-made man?Answer: The most surprising thing is why people give me s o much respect. I’m nothing. I don’t know much. All I am is ric h.People just have an idea of making more and more money, but what is it for? How much do I need for anygiven purposes in my life? In this book, the professor unco vered an important need in modern society; to bring back the i dea that money is an instrument rather than the end. Money p lays an important role in the modern world, but expecting mon ey to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life.24. According to the first paragraph, people haven’t realized _ _________.A. how important money is in their day-to-day lifeB. how one spends money shows what is important to himC. that money is more important than their philosophy of lifeD. that their understanding of life is more important than mone y25. The author seems to believe that asking your friend to lend you some money __________.A. is a good way to test your friendB. will do harm to your friendC. will strengthen your friendshipD. is a good way to break off your friendship26. What can we learn about the millionaire from his answer i n the interview?A. He doesn’t feel that he is well educated.B. He doesn’t think he is a very important person.C. He doesn’t think being rich deserves so much attention.D. He doesn’t consider himself to be very successful.CBolivia has a population three and a half million . About one te nth of the total population are white ， one-fourth are mixed Indians and white，and more than half are full-blooded Indians . The government and the industries are und er the control of the white people .The Indians today live in much the same way as their ancesto rs . Most of them are farmers . Many work in the mines , for mining is the most important industry in Bolivia . Of all the min ing products , tin is the most important , which makes up three -fourths of all Bolivia’s exports . The eastern slopes of the And es , since there are very few roads there , are fertile but not hi ghly developed . The two primary means of transportation are river boats and porters . East of the hill region are the great pl ains where tropical plants are grown . A serious problem for B olivia is the transport of food from the warm regions , where it is grown to the mountainous regions , where most of the people live .Bolivia gained its independence from Spain about a hundred years ago . It has been slow in developing , but its rich resour ces promise a better future in it .27．The majority of the Bolivian population are ______.A．full-blooded Indians B．mixed Indian and whiteC．white citizens D．all whites and mixed-blooded people28．The Indian’s way of life today is ______.A．quite different from that of their ancestors B．quite inter estingC．almost the same as their ancestors’ D．very exciting29．The eastern slopes of the Andes is not highly developed because ______ .A．there are thick forests there B．there are very few roa ds thereC．there are many fine mines there D．they are not fertile e nough30．Bolivia has been slow in developing , but it has hope for a better future because of its______.A．mining products B．rich resourcesC．independence from Spain D．two primary means of tr ansportationDMany people go to school for an education. They learn langua ges, history, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics.Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a liv ing. School education is very important and useful. Yet no one can learn everything they want to know. The teacher’s job is t o show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to re ad and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside s chool by the students themselves.It is always more important to know how to study by oneself th an to memorize some facts or a formula. It is usually quite eas y to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a maths problem. Great scientists, such as Einstein, Newton and Galil eo didn’t get anything from school. But they were all so succe ssful. They invented so many things for mankind.The reason for their success is that they knew how to study. T hey read books that were not taught at school. They worked h ard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. They would as k many questions as they readand they did thousands of experiments.Above all, they knew how to use their brains.31.

Then it’ll look like a sunset.〞“That’s a very good idea!〞 the director said．Then he turned to the camera crew and said，“Tomorrow morning I want you to get m e a beautiful sunrise over the sea.〞The camera crew went out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay.Then at nine o’clock they took it to the director．“Here it is，sir，〞 they said，and gave it to him．He was very pleased．They all went into the studio．“All right，〞 the director explained，“now our hero and heroine are going to say goodbye．Run the film backwards so that we can see the ‘sunset’ behind them.〞The “sunset〞 began，but after a quarter of a minute，the director suddenlyput his face in his hands and shouted to the camera crew to stop.The birds in the film were flying backwards，and the waves on the sea were going away from the beach.1．One evening，the director sent his camera crew out ________.A．to film a scene on the seaB．to find an actor and an actressC．to watch a beautiful sunsetD．to meet the audience2．Why did the director want to send his crew to the west coast?A．Because he changed his mind about getting a sunset.B．Because he was angry with his crew.C．Because he wanted to get a scene of sunset.D．Because it was his secretary’s suggestion.3．The director wanted to film a sunset over the ocean because ________.A．it went well with the separation of the hero and heroineB．when they arrived at the beach it was already in the eveningC．it was more moving than a sunriseD．the ocean looked more beautiful at sunset4．After the “sunset〞 began，the director suddenly put his face in his hands ________.A．because he was moved to tearsB．as he saw everything in the film moving backwardsC．as the sunrise did not look as beautiful as he had imaginedD．because he was disappointed with the performance of the hero and heroine 3.CIn order to help customers find what they want quickly，it’s important to keep the thousands of titles in the Main Street Movies store organized properly．This section of the Employee Handbook will tell you how to organize videos. Each Main street Movies store has three main sections:1．New Releases Wall.2．Film library.3．Video Games.New Releases Wall．Almost 70 percent of movie rentals are new releases，and that is the first place where most customers go when they enter the store．The center section of shelves on this wall holds Hottest Hits．When new titles come into the store，place them on this wall in alphabetical order．The shelves beside Hottest Hits are called Recent Releases．The New Releases Wall，including the Hottest Hits and Recent Releases shelves，holds about 350 titles.Film Library．The thousands of titles in the Film Library are organized into categories．The films within each category are displayed alphabetically．Here are the categories and their two-letter computer codes：Foreign Language titles include films that were originally made in a foreign language and films with foreign language subtitles．A sticker on the back of each box tells which type of film it is.Video Game．All the video games in Main street Movies are arranged in alphabetical order．Although video games represent only a small percentage of our inventory(库存)，they are stolen more often than any other type of goods in our store．Therefore，video games are never displayed on the shelves．Shelves in the Video Game section hold cardboard with pictures and information about each game．Whena customer wants to rent a particular game，you then find the game from the locked case behind the counter.1．Whom do you think this passage is most probably addressed to?A．The readers in the store.B．The manager of the store.C．The customers in the store.D．The salespersons of the store.2．In which order are the new movies moved in the store?A．From Hottest Hits to Film Library to Recent Releases.B．From Film Library to Hottest Hits to Recent Releases.C．From Recent Releases to Film Library to Hottest Hits.D．From Hottest Hits to Recent Releases to Film Library.3．Why can’t video games be seen on the shelves?A．Because they’ve been sold out.B．Because they’re in the storehouse.C．Because they’re in a locked case be hind the counter.D．Because they represent a small percentage of the inventory.4．How can a customer find a film with foreign language subtitles?A．Check the computer.B．Look at the back of the box.C．Check the center section.D．Watch a few minutes of the film.4.DThe Enigma (谜〕of BeautyThe search for beauty spans centuries and continents．Paintings of Egyptiansdating back over 4，000 years show both men and women painting their nails and wearing makeup．In 18th-century France，wealthy noblemen wore large wigs (假发〕of long，white hair to make themselves attractive．Today，people continue to devote a lot of time and money to their appearance.There is at least one good reason for the desire to be attractive：beauty is power．Studies suggest that good-looking people make more money，get called on more often in class，and are regarded as friendlier.But what exactly is beauty? It's difficult to describe it clearly，and yet we know it when we see it．And our awareness of it may start at a very early age．In one set of studies，six-month-old babies were shown a series of photographs．The faces on the pictures had been rated for attractiveness by a group of college students．In the studies，the babies spent more time looking at the attractive faces than the unattractive ones.The idea that even babies can judge appearance makes perfect sense to many researchers．In studies by psychologists，men consistently showed a preference for women with larger eyes，fuller lips，and a smaller nose and chin while women prefer men with large shoulders and a narrow waist．According to scientists，the mind unconsciously tells men and women that these traits —the full lips，clear skin，strong shoulders —equal health and genetic well-being.Not everyone thinks the same way，however．" Our hardwiredness can be changed by all sorts of expectations —mostly cultural，" says C．Loring Brace，an anthropologist at the University of Michigan．What is considered attractive in one culture might not be in another．Look at most Western fashion magazines：the women on the pages are thin．But is this "perfect" body type for women worldwide? Scientists' answer is no; what is considered beautiful is subjective and varies around the world．They found native peoples in southeast Peru preferred shapesregarded overweight in Western cultures.For better or worse，beauty plays a role in our lives．But it is extremely difficult to describe exactly what makes one person attractive to another．Although there do seem to be certain physical traits considered universally appealing，it is also true that beauty does not always keep to a single，uniform standard．Beauty really is，as the saying goes，in the eye of the beholder.1．People's ideas about beauty ________.A．have existed since ancient timesB．can be easily describedC．have little influence on a person's successD．are based upon strict criteria2．In Paragraph 3，the babies in the study ________.A．were rated for their appearanceB．were entered in a beauty contestC．were shown photos of a group of college studentsD．were able to tell attractive faces from unattractive ones3．The underlined word “traits〞 in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.A．qualitiesB．measurementsC．judgmentsD．standards4．We can learn from the passage that ________.A．the ideas of beauty vary as people grow upB．the search for beauty is rooted in lack of confidenceC．the standards for beauty are based on scientific researchesD．the understanding of beauty depends on cultural backgrounds二、阅读填空〔共2小题〕5.根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最优选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Everybody knows that. Yet many people d o not seem to know that memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really m eans that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When s omeone else says that his memory is poor, he really means th at he does not give it enough chance to become strong. If a fri end says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is h is own fault(过错). But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us t hink that his parents are to blame(受责备), and few of us know that it is just his own fault.Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they can not read or write and they have to remember things; they can not write down in a little notebook. They have to remember da ys, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole ti me being exercised. So if you want to have a good memory, l earn from the people: Practice remembering.28. The main reason for one’s poor memory is that _______.A. his father or mother may have a poor memoryB. He does not use his name or legs for some timeC. his memory is not often usedD. he can’t read or write29. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Your memory works in the same way as your arms or legs.B. Your memory, like your arms or legs, becomes weak if you don’t give it enoughchance for practice.C. Don’t learn how to read and write if you want to have a bett er memory.D. A good memory comes from more practice.30. Some people can’t read or write, but they usually have bet ter memories, because ___.A. they have saved much troubleB. they have saved much time to remember thingsC. they have to use their memories all the timeD. they can’t write everything in a little notebook31. Which is the best title for this passage?A. Don’t Stop Using Your Arms Or LegsB. How To Have a Good MemoryC. Strong Arms And Good MemoriesD. Learn From the Peop leDIt’s school time again! You’re probably feeling excited and ma ybe a little sad for the vacation is over. Some kids feel nervou s or a little scared on the first day of school because of all the new things: new teachers, new friends, and maybe even a ne w school. Luckily, these “new” worries only stick around for a l ittle while. Let’s find out more about going back to school. Most teachers kick off the school year by introducing themsel ves and talking about what you’ll be doing that year. Some te achers give students a chance to tell something about themse lves to the rest of the class.When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often go ov er classroom rules so you’ll know what’s allowed and what’s n ot. Pay close attention so you’ll know if you need to raise your hand to ask a question and what the rules are about visiting t he restroom.You might already know a lot of people in your class on the fir st day. But it’s a great day to make new friends, so try to say “hello” to the kids you know and new ones that you don’t. Mak e the first move and you’ll be glad about what you did and so will your new friends!Most teachers let you pick your own seat on the first day, butby the second or third morning, they’ll have mapped out a sea ting plan. It’s a good idea to write down where your seat is in your notebook so you don’t forget.Here are a few final tips for a fantastic（奇异的） first day: Get enough sleep. Have a healthy breakfast. Tr y your best. Develop good work habits, like writing down your assignments（作业） and handing in your homework on time. Take your time with schoolwork. If you don’t understand something, ask the t eacher.32. In the second paragraph, the underlined phrase ”kick off ”most probably means”_____”.A. jump overB. startC. talk aboutD. finish33. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. All students feel excited about a new term.B. All teachers let students pick their seats.C. New school worries do not last very long.D. Being hard-working helps make new friends.34. If students have any questions, it’s suggested that they sh ould ________.A. turn to their teachersB. write them downC. ask their parentsD. help with each other35. What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A. To offer students some advice on starting a new school ter m.B. To encourage students to work harder in a new school ter m.C.

The Interior Ministry said the meteorite explosion, a very rare spectacle, also released a great explosive sound.“I was driving to work. It was quite dark, but it suddenly became bright as if it were day，”said Viktor Prokofiev, 36, a resident of Yekaterinburg in the Urals Mountains. “I felt like I was blinded by headlights.”The meteorite, which weighed about 10 tons and may have been made of iron, entered Earth's atmosphere and broke apart 30 km —50 km above ground according to Russia's Academy of Sciences.“The energy released when it entered the Earth's atmosphere was equal to a few kilotons，”the academy said, “the power of a small atomic weapon exploding.”No deaths were reported but the Emergencies Ministry said 20,000 rescue and clean-up workers were sent to Urals Region after President Vladimir Putin told Emergencies Minister Vladimir Puchkov to ease and help the victims.The Interior Ministry said about 1,200 people had been injured, at least 200 of them children, and most from broken pieces of glass.56．The underlined word “smashed” in Para. 1 is closest in meaning to “________”．A．broke B．melted C．swallowed D．cleared57．We can know from the passage that ________.A．Moscow is 1,500 kilometers away from the east of ChelyabinskB．many houses were destroyed, with lots of people reported missingC．Viktor Prokofiev became blind after seeing the rare spectacleD．the shock wave briefly influenced mobile phone networks58．Which of the following can serve as the best title of the passage?A．“Meteorite Rush” Be gins in RussiaB．President Putin Orders AssistanceC．Meteorite Hits Russia, 1,200 People HurtD．Meteorite Flies Quickly Across Russia(B)Moving to a new neighborhood, town, state, or even country can be a pretty scary experience. All you know is that things will be different and chances are you won't know the kids at your new school.The experiences that go with moving make many kids feel nervous and worried. This is perfectly normal but don't let these emotions overrun your thoughts! You will soon get used to your surroundings and find new friends at your new school.Leaving old friends and familiar places behind can be difficult. However, as you begin the moving process, keep in mind that saying goodbye to your old house, school, and friends does not mean that you have to forget them or that your farewell is permanent! If you're moving to a new state or even a different country and won't see your friends for a long time, don't despair. Make sure to ask everyone for their address so you can write them letters. Also, thanks to the Internet, it is very easy to stay in touch through email or instant messaging technologies. With your parent's permission, you can even create a blog or web page to chronicle all of your new experiences. Include your thoughts, tales of your new adventures, even pictures of new friends, your new house, and new town. Your old friends will love seeing what you are busy with.Many schools have an orientation program where a student already established at the school shows a new student around for their first week. This can help you to find your way around the school and to make new friends faster.While moving is tough on kids of any age, high school counselor Karen Turner says moves can be particularly difficult for teens. “I think moving during adolescents is an extremely stressful experience, especially if you are into your junior high or senior year. Students tend to have established a very strong peer network during that period in their lives. Often this has more influence on them even than their families in some cases, and when they are torn from that there's often resentment (怨气)．” However, Turner adds that while moving isn't easy, there are things that your parents and the school can do to help you cope with the change.59．Who are the intended readers of the passage?A．Education experts. B．School teachers. C．Parents. D．Students.60．Which of the following is mainly suggested in Paragraph 3?A．Staying in contact with old friends.B．Expressing yourself when it is possible.C．Forming good habits at school.D．Keeping positive about your new school.61．According to the passage, an orientation program ________.A．helps local students in many ways B．is organized by new studentsC．offers help to new students D．focuses on all the students at school62．If this passage continues, what would the author further discuss?A．What a new school is like.B．Why parents move with their children.C．How parents and the school can help the children.D．How children can express their anxiety.(C)When you make a mistake, big or small, cherish it as it's the most precious thing in the world.Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes, beat ourselves up about it, feel like failures, and get mad at ourselves.And that's only natural: Most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad, and we should try to avoid mistakes. We've been scolded when we make mistakes — at home, school and work. Maybe not always, but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.Yet without mistakes, we could not learn or grow. If you think about it that way, mistakes should be cherished and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world: They make learning possible; they make growth and improvement possible.By trial and error — trying things, making mistakes, and learning from those mistakes — we have figured out how to make electric lights, to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, and to fly.Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler,_make speech possible, and make works of genius possible.Think about how we learn: We don't just consume information about something and instantly know it or know how to do it. You don't just read about painting, or writing, or computer programming, or baking, or playing the piano, and know how to do them right away. Instead, you get information about something, from reading or from another person or from observingusually ... then you construct a model in your mind ... then you test it out by trying it in the real world ... then you make mistakes ... then you revise the model based on the results of your real world experimentation ... and repeat, making mistakes, learning from those mistakes, until you've pretty much learned how to do something.That's how we learn as babies and toddlers, and how we learn as adults. Mistakes are how we learn to do something new — because if you succeed in something, it's probably something you already knew how to do. You haven't really grown much from that success — at most it's the last step on your journey, not the whole journey. Most of the journey is made up of mistakes, if it's a good journey.So if you value learning, if you value growing and improving, then you should value mistakes. They are amazing things that make a world of brilliance possible.63．According to the passage, what is the right attitude to mistakes?A．We should try to avoid making mistakes.B．We should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes.C．We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn.D．We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.64．The underlined word “toddler” in Paragraph 6 probably means ________.A．a small child learning to walk B．a kindergarten child learning to drawC．a primary pupil learning to read D．a school teenager learning to write65．We can learn from the passage that ________.A．most of us can really grow from successB．growing and improving are based on mistakesC．we learn to make mistakes by trial and errorD．we read about something and know how to do it right away66．The author wants to tell us ________.A．what you should do when meeting with difficultiesB．where you can find your mistakesC．how you can avoid making mistakesD．why you should celebrate your mistakes(D)A young, buried woolly mammoth (猛犸象) has been discovered in Siberia near the Arctic Ocean. Nicknamed “Yuka”, the mammoth has been described by discoverers as being “remarkably well preserved (保存)” though being cut open by ancient people.Yuka was discovered in Siberia during an expedition funded in part by the BBC and the Discovery Channel and is believed to be at least 10,000 years old. The discoverers believe this finding could possibly provide evidence of early human activities in the Siberian region. Thanks to the freezing cold temperatures of Siberia, in fact, much of the meat is still undamaged, having a pink color. Light blond hair covers the mammoth. Daniel Fisher, director of the University of Michigan Museum of Paleontology told Discovery News, “This is the first relatively complete mammoth body — that is, a body with soft tissues (软组织) preserved — to show evidence of human activities.”Working with an international team of experts, Fisher will help analyze Yuka and get genetic (基因的) samples from the body. The team used carbon dating (碳年代测定法) on Yuka. They believe the mammoth to have died at least 10,000 years ago and have been about 2.5 to 4 years old when it died.Judging from the wounds found on the mammoth and other cuts, the team believes Yuka may have been harmed by lions before humans came along to finish the job.“It appears that Yuka was chased by one or more lions, judging from the deep, unhealed scratches (抓痕) in the hide and bite marks on the tail,” Fisher said. “Yuka then apparently fell, breaking one of the lower back-legs. At this point, humans may have moved in to control the body, cutting up much of the animal and removing parts that they would use immediately. They may, in fact, have reburied the rest of the body to keep it in reserve for possible later use. What remains now would then be ‘leftovers’ that they never retrieved.”While most of organs (器官) inside Yuka’s body are missing, such as ribs, ver tebrae, and some meat, the lower parts of each leg, the trunk remain incredibly well preserved.French mammoth hunter Bernard Beigues is also part of the international team, and suggests the humans may have been after Yuka’s fat and large bones. He believe s the bones may have been used in religious ceremonies and therefore were kept close to the body.Such discoveries will enable scientists to study the genetics of these animals. For example, the discovery of Yuka has confirmed an earlier assumption (假设) about mammoths’ hair color. The red hair found all over Yuka proves this theory and provides information about the genetic codes of the mammoth as it relates to hair and eye color. With such a wealth of genetic material to investigate, scientists suggest cloning is possible. Tim Walker, a director and producer for the Discovery Channel told Discovery News that cloning a mammoth could take years, even decades. Yuka will be a part of a new documentary produced by the BBC and the Discovery Channel called “Mammoth”.67. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A. Yuka’s body remains in excellent condition.B. Yuka’s soft tissues prove ancient human activities.C. Woolly mammoths were enemies of ancient humans.D. Yuka died from the freezing cold temperatures of Siberia.68. The research team has figured out Yuka’s age by ______.A. genetic samplesB. carbon datingC. wounds of the tailD. the light blond hair69. What does the underlined wo rd “retrieved” in Paragraph 5 means “______”.A. worked outB. given upC. got backD. asked for70. What would be the best title for the text?A. Cloning of Yuka the MammothB. A Well-preserved Mammoth BodyC. Ancient Human Activities in SiberiaD. The Missing Parts of the Mammoth Body第二卷(共35分)第一节:任务型阅读 ((共10题，每小题0.5分，满分10分)Passion has somehow become a funny thing. At first it's commonly defined as a love you have for something; something you may do during your free time. But today, passion goes beyond that. With people living the seemingly perfect life, passion has become the gateway to freedom, the ability to design and create the lifestyle you wanted. It is the fire that burns inside of you. It makes everything in life feel right and meaningful and it gives you a sense of identity.But people today have some misunderstandings of what passion is.You have to be extremely good at it. How often is it today that you hear of this or that inspiring guy who created a business out of passion or does what he loves every day? It's easy to think that that person is really good at what he does. Absolutely right? Not really. Passion isn't a competition where you keep getting better and then show off to people how great you are. Passion is a feeling. Like love, when it comes to you, you enjoy it and let it flow. It is this feeling that is all you need.It has to be acceptable in the eyes of others. Some people think that passion needs to be acceptable, and it must meet the expectations of others or you may come across as crazy. It also has to be acceptable for the possible future of making a living out of it. Again, no. Passion can be anything you want. As long as you attain that special feeling which makes everything alright in life, it's absolutely okay. Nothing else matters then.It will make you money. Inspiring as it is to hear of people making a full-time income from what they love, the truth is, it's not guaranteed that passion can make money for you. Do you think people would want to pay you if your passion is say, sitting in front of the TV eating chips? Doubtful. There is a veritable gap which your passion needs to cross to enter the world where rules of life and society apply. And this gap requires a lot of effort and creative thinking to cross.Passion is simply you. It's your choice to start finding one and holding on to it. It can and will give you that special feeling and raise you to greatness. With a little effort, you can easily findone. And it's something you'll never forget in life.第二节、单词拼写(共10题，每小题0.5分，满分5分)根据所给的中文提示或首字母，写出相应的单词81.

ＡWhen friends come to visit us in the evening, they spend their time tellingus they are in a hurry and l ooking at their watches. It isn’t that our friendsare all very busy, it is just that we haven’t got a television.People think that we are very strange.“But what do you do in the evening?”，they are always asking.The answer is very simple. Both my wife a nd I have hobbies. We certainly don’t spend our evenings staring at the walls. My wife enjoys cooking and painting andoften attends evening classes in foreign languages. This is particularly usefulas we often go abroad for our holidays. I collect stamps and I ’m always busy withmy collection.Both of us enjoy listening to the music and playing chess together.Sometimes there are power cuts and we have no electricity in the house. Thisdoes not worry us, we just light candles and carry on with what we were doing before. Our friends, however, are lost---no television!---So they don’t know what to do. On such evenings our house is very full ---they all come to us. They all have agood time. Instead of sitting in silence in front of the television,everybody talks and plays games.1.The couple have not got a television, because（）.A. they are not rich enoughB. they are strange peopleC. they enjoy spending evenings in their own waysD. they don ’t know what to do when there are power cuts2.Both of them are interested in（）.A. learning languagesB. travelingC. staying home aloneD. watching people play games3 .At night when there is no electricity, the couple.A. have to stare at the wallsB. can do nothing but sit in silenceC. will have many visitorsD. have to go out for candles4.The best title for this passage is _____.A. Why Do We Need a Television?B. Candle! But No Electricity!C. Different Friends, Different Hobbies.D. We Go Without Televisions!BA sign is another kind of language.Here are some of them that you see onthe roads.Number one is a sign with the number thirty on it. When drivers see this sign,they must not go at more than thirty kilometers an hour. We see this sign when weare getting near a town.Number two is a sign that we’re near a crossing. Wemust drive carefully.Number three is a sign that there is a bend in the road. Again, we must drive slowly and carefully. It is not safe to go round a bend very fast.Number four is a sign that there is another road coming in from the right.Thereis a junction at this place. Number five is a sign that there is a hill and numbersix is a sign that the road gets narrow. Drivers must go slowly and carefully.Number seven has the word“SCHOOL” on it.

AA man who faile d to return more than 700 children’s books to five different libraries in the county was put into prison. Yesterday he was set free after a book publisher agreed to post his bond (担保金) of $1,000. The publisher said, “There’s a story here. This is a man who loves books. He just can’t let go of them. He hasn’t stolen a single book. So what’s the crime? We think that Mr. Brush has a story to tell. We plan to publish his story.”When asked why he didn’t return the books, Mr. Brush said, “Well, how could I? They became friends to me.I was afraid to return them, because I knew that kids or dogs would get hold of these books and chew them up, throw them around, rip the pages, spill soda on them, get jam and jelly on them, and drown them in the toilet.”He continue d, “Books are people, too! They talk to you, they take care of you, and they enrich you with wisdom and humor and love. A book is my guest in my home. How could I kick it out? I repaired torn pages. I dusted them. I turned their pages so they could breathe and get some fresh air.“Every week I reorganized them on their shelves so they could meet new friends. My books were HAPPY books. You could tell just by looking at them. Now they’re all back in the library, on the lower shelves, on the floors, at the mercy of all those runny-nosed kids. I can hear them calling me! I need to rescue them. Excuse me. I have to go now.”21. Why was the man put into prison?A. Because he refused to return the books that he had borrowed.B. Because the book publisher persuaded the police to do so.C. Because he stole 700 children's books from the five different libraries.D. Because he wanted to publish his story.22.

From the passage we can learn that the man is _____.A. a thiefB. crazy about booksC. a writerD. unfortunate24. What might happen after the man was set free?A.

We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places that I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves.I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times.”My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with immigration（移民）officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.From my experiences I have learned one important rule: Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.25. How did the author get to know America?A. From her relativesB. From books and picturesC. From her motherD. From radio programs26. For the first two years in New York, the author_______.A. studied in three different schoolsB. did not think about her futureC. often lost her wayD. got on well with her stepfather27. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 4?A. She worked as a translatorB. She paid telephone bills for her familyC. She helped her family with her EnglishD. She attended a lot of job interviews28. The author believes that ________.A. her future will be free from troublesB. it is difficult to learn to become patientC. there are more good things than bad thingsD. good things will happen if one keeps tryingCBeing able to multitask-doing(多重任务处理) several things at the same time is considered a welcome skill by most people. But if we consider the situation of the young people aged from eight to eighteen, we should think again.What we often see nowadays is that young people juggle a larger number of electronic devices (电子产品) as they study. While working, they also surf on the Internet, send out emails, answer the telephone and listen to music on their iPods. In a sense, they are spending a large amount of time in fruitless efforts as they multitask.Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members. As young people give so much attention to their own worlds, they seem to have no time to spend with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house, nor can they eat at the family table.Multitasking also has an effect on young people's performance at university and in the workplace. When asked about their opinions of the effects of electronic devices on their performance of tasks, many young people gave a positive response. However, the response from the worlds of education and business was not quite as positive. Educators feel that multitasking by children has a serious effect on later development of study skills. They believe that many college students now need help to improve their study skills. Similarly, employers feel that young people entering the job market need to be taught all over again, as electronic devices have made it unnecessary for them to learn special skills to do their work.29. What does the underlined word "juggle" most probably mean?A. use at the same time.B. take the place of.C. want to buy.D. search information from.30. In Paragraph 3, the author pointsout that ________.A. family members do not greet each otherB. family members do not eat at the family tableC. young people hardly communicate with their family membersD. young people get on well with their families31. What's the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Young people must learn skills for future jobs.B. Multitasking influences young people's development seriously.C. Multitasking is an important skill to young people.D. Young people benefit a lot from modern devices.DWhen travelers check the flight board at the airport and see some routes are being called off, it can fill them with a sense of worry. This can happen to any tourist at any time, due to airline strikes, volcanic eruptions(火山爆发) or a number of other disasters. While they will possibly be late to return home, there are several things travelers can do before departing or during an emergency(紧急情况) that can help the process go as smoothly as possible.According to Australia News, travelers should be well-informed about the place they plan to visit ahead of time. If journeying to a place that’s known for flooding or hurricanes, a daily weather check by smart phone or laptop may help tourists not take the airport all together if an emergency should happen unexpectedly.Some travelers may wish to stay away from the daily news while trying to relax on vacation, but it can be important to know the latest event in your new place. If trouble seems to be happening, travelers can make several plans before the crowds form.Having help on speed dial is the key to quickly finding solutions in time of need. Organizing some kind of escape route for travelers and their loved ones will keep everyone knowing where they are during an emergency. Know where the highest ground is in areas likely to be flooding, or plan out a way to escape fire at the hotelbefore disaster strikes.One important way to prepare for emergency situations is ensuring travelers have at least two forms of payment. Local money is key when there is not an ATM or a credit card is useless. If guests in a foreign country have to offer payment for last minute transportation plans out of an area, having cash on hand may be the easiest way to find quick solutions to stay safe, according to Money Wise.Preparing for the worst and hoping for the best is the ideal way to travel, just in case any natural disasters, illnesses or other tough disasters get in the way of a vacation. This will lessen as much stress as possible when dealing with emergencies that can happen on a trip.32. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. What to do when a disaster happens on a tripB. Preparing for the worst and hoping for the bestC. How to make good preparations for a travel abroadD. How to plan for quick escape and emergencies on vacation33. How many main particular preparations for emergency does the author suggest in the passage?A. 3B. 4C. 5D. 634. According to the passage, when traveling abroad, travelers ________________.A. should check the daily weather at hometown by smart phoneB. had better not pay attention to the latest news in the new placeC. should turn off their telephones to enjoy themselvesD. need to prepare two or more forms of payment35. The author writes this article in order to help those who ___________.A. want to travel on holidaysB. hope to settle abroadC. have survived a disasterD. stay in dangerous situations第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。
