二、阅读理解（每小题2分，共40分）
Passage 1
I was 16 when my father finally decided he would send me to wilderness camp for several months. He had threatened to do it many times before, but my mother had always managed to prevent him from doing so. This time he insisted on doing it.
The latest incident was the last straw. Impulsively(冲动地), I had pushed Mr. Ford, my math teacher, down a flight of steps at school. He broke his arm in two places. Anyway, he had agreed not to accuse me as a favor to my dad, who was in the middle of a tight race for sheriff(执法官) in our town. But my reckless behavior had my dad’s closest advisor talking.
“John, he’s your son and he’s a kid, but he is dragging you down,” I heard Jake Hutch tell my dad through his closed office door the night after I pushed Mr. Ford. “If you can’t make your son obey the rules, how can you make the law obeyed in this town?”
So, off to Pisgah National Forest I went. I imagined hours of untold abuse at the hands of some strong sergeants(军士). I was determined not to be broken. I was who I was.
Nearly every day for six months, a small group of other troubled teens and I carried our 30-pound backpacks on a difficult journey covering about 10 miles. We hiked in a rough wilderness that seemed untouched by civilization.
Our sergeants were firm but kind, not frightening as I had imagined. We learned how to make a fire without matches and create a shelter with branches and grass. We learned which plants were safe to eat out in the wild. I felt myself change. I was calm and often reflective. My old, impulsive self was gone.
One morning, six months later, my dad came to pick me up. I ran to hug him and saw relief and love in his eyes.
“So what’s it like being sheriff?” I asked on the ride home.
“I lost the race, Danny,” he said.
“I’m sorry, Dad.” I knew my behavior probably had a lot to do with the defeat.
Dad squeezed my shoulder and brought me close. “As long as I don’t ever lose you, I’m okay.”
16. The author was finally sent to wilderness because __________.
A. he could learn how to survive in the wild
B. his teacher insisted on giving him a lesson
C. he pushed his math teacher down the stairs
D. his mother feared that he would be accused
17. The underlined word “reckless” in Paragraph 2 probably means __________.

C. rude
D. reasonable
18. What can we learn about the author from the passage?
A. He changed a lot after the camp.
B. He was not satisfied with his life in the camp.
C. He was still what he used to be after the camp.
D. He made enemies with other troubled teens at the camp.
- 2 - / 15
19. How did the author’s father feel at the end of the story?

D. Relieved
20. By saying “The latest incident was the last straw” in the 2nd paragraph, what did the author mean?

B. I was forced to wilderness camp for several months.
C. My dad’s closest advisor talked with me.
D. My math teacher agreed not to accuse me as a favor to my dad.
Passage 2
Do you sometimes argue about what seems to you to be simple fact? Do you argue whether it’s cold outdoors or whether the car in front of you is going faster than the speed limit?
If you get into such arguments, try to think about the story about the six blind men and the elephant. The first blind man who felt the elephant’s trunk said it was like a snake. The second who felt the elephant’s side said it was like a wall, while the third said it was like a spear as he touched the animal’s tusk. The fourth, who caught hold of the elephant’s tail insisted that it was like a rope. The fifth man said it looked like a tree as he put his arms around one of the elephant’s legs. The sixth, who was tall and got hold of the elephant’s ears, said it was like a huge fan.
Each man’s idea of the animal came from his own experience. So if someone disagrees with you about a “simple fact”, it’s often because his experience in the matter is different from yours.
To see how hard it is for even one person to make up his mind about a “simple fact”,try this simple experiment. Get three large bowls. Put ice water in one. Put hot water in the second. Put lukewarm water in the third. Now put your left hand in the ice water. Put your right hand in the hot water. After thirty seconds, put both hands in the lukewarm water. Your right hand will tell you the water is cold. Your left hand will tell you it’s hot!
21. What makes people think about simple facts differently?
A. The fact that simple facts differ from one another.
B. The fact that people have different experience in the simple facts.
C. The fact that people often disagree with one another.
D. The fact that it’s hard to make up one’s mind about simple facts.
22. From the story “Six Blind Men and the Elephant”, we are advised that __________.
A. we should never think about simple facts
B. we should never judge something with a one-sided view
C. we should not agree about simple facts
D. we must learn from the six blind men
23. After reading the last paragraph, we may think of __________.
A. Newton’s law
B. Galileo’s theory of falling objects
C. Einstein’s Theory of Relativity
D. Marx’ s On Capital
24. The main idea of this passage is __________.
A. people often judge something according to his own experience
B. people often agree about simple facts
C. it’s hard for a person to make up his mind about a simple fact
- 3 - / 15
D. you should not care too much about simple fact
25. From the experiment in the last paragraph, why is it that your both hands feel different?
A. Because your right hand was in the hot water.
B. Because your left hand was put in the ice water.
C. Because the lukewarm water was different from the other two.
D. Because your both hands just left water of different temperature.
Passage 3
What makes a house a home? A home is a place of companionship with people in it who love each other, who are harmonious (和谐的) and closer with one another than with those in the workplace or with classmates at school. A home is a place that’s so magnetic(有吸引力的) that it’s difficult to leave. In a home there is love, sharing and appreciation, and the members help one another.
I have seen families on the street. But if they live, sleep, talk, and eat together, they are a family, even if they are poorly off. You don’t need a roof to make a home. The truly homeless are some of the rich people who build multi-million-dollar houses and are too busy to really live in them. The truly homeless are those who have turned their home into a hotel lobby. The parents work and the children misbehave. They don’t talk and eat together every day. They rarely see each other. The truly homeless people are those with babysitters, caretakers, gardeners and maids. However, people are unaware of this, as they are too busy making money outside the home that they don’t live in. This is another way of looking at the rich and the homeless. Who is to be pitied?
Control of the computer and the Internet is also important to make a house into a home. If the computer is on all the time, the house turns into an office, even if everyone is at home. Many homes these days are just offices. Human communication has stopped. The computer eats up all the time that one should be giving to others within the home. Using the computer moderately gives us time for play and communication, not with a screen, but with other people.
26. Which of the following may serve as the best title for this passage?
A. How to make a house a home?
B. What makes a house a home?
C. Who are truly homeless?
D. What is a home for?
27. The purpose of the first paragraph is to _________.
A. tell us that where there is home there is love
B. tell us what people think a home is
C. tell us the author’s concept (理解) of home
D. tell us how to have a happy home
28. The underlined word “those” refers to ________.
A. people who don’t spend time with the family
B. people who have lost their family members
C. people who build multi-million-dollar houses
D. homeless families living on the street in America
29. Which of the following is FALSE according to the passage?
A. A home is a place where you are willing to stay.
B. Even the poorest people can have a happy home.
C. Computers and the Internet are important for a happy home.
D. Sometimes it’s the rich that should be pitied.
- 4 - / 15
30. According to the passage, which is NOT mentioned as an element (要素) of a home?
A. Communication.
B. Appreciation.
C. Companionship.
D. Kindness.
Passage 4
Ask any person who is successful in whatever he or she is doing what motivates him/her, and very likely the answer will be “goals”. Goal Setting is extremely important to motivation and success. So what motivates you? Why are you in college? If you are in college because that’s what your parents want, you may find it difficult to motivate yourself. Sure, it’s possible to succeed with someone else providing the motivation for you.(“If you graduate from college, I’ll give you a car!” or worse “If you don’t graduate from college, you won’t get a car.”)But motivation that comes from within really makes the difference.
Certainly, you need some intelligence, knowledge base, study skills, and time management skills, but if you don’t have motivation, you won’t get far. Think about this analogy. You have a car with a full tank of gas, a well-tuned engine, good set of tires, quadraphonic CD system, and a sleek, polished exterior(外表).There it sits. This car has incredible potential. However, until a driver sits behind the wheel, puts the key in the ignition(点火装置), and cranks it up, the car doesn’t function, You guessed it; the KEY is MOTIV ATION.
Interest is an important motivator for a student. So is a desire to learn. When you link these two things together, you create success. Often success in an endeavor(努力) leads to more interest and a greater desire to learn, creating an upward spiral(螺旋形) of motivation toward a goal you have established.
So be honest with yourself. Are you genuinely interested in being in college? Have you set realistic goals for yourself? How can you develop the internal motivation that really counts? When it comes to motivation, KNOWING is not as important as DOING.
31. Why does the writer give the example of a car in the second paragraph?
A. Because people can never go far without a good car.
B. Because a good car motivates some college students to study harder.
C. Because a good car is a symbol of being a success.
D. Because motivation leads people to success like it starts a car.
32. What is the CORRECT comparison between the internal motivation and the external (外部的)
motivation?
A. Only the internal motivation can result in success.
B. Internal motivation is more important than external motivation.
C. Internal motivation and external motivation has equal importance.
D. External motivation is enough for people to achieve success.
33. According to the article the following factors can push people towards their goals EXCEPT
__________.
A. interest
B. the desire to learn
C. the knowledge of motivation
D. the sense of success
34. What’s the main purpose of the article?
A. To encourage everyone to learn something about the knowledge of motivation.
- 5 - / 15
B. To inspire college students to set goals for their college life.
C. To imply that the less motivated college students quit the college.
D. To call on parents to give up their over-protection of their children.
35. What may be the writer’s advice to the potential readers?
A. The goals you set for yourself shouldn’t be far beyond your reach.
B. You needn’t study hard if you are really not interested in it.
C. You should work harder to win praise from others.
D. Honesty is the best policy to solve problems in your life.

五、作文
One possible version:
Recently, people are having an argument on whether a subway should be built or not in the city. Opinions vary from person to person.
Some people think it necessary to build a subway. For one thing, building a subway can help solve traffic problems and people will enjoy a more convenient life. For another, it provides a new means of transportation, which is environmentally friendly.
On the other hand, others hold the opposite opinion. From their point of view, the long process of construction is bound to influence the city’s traffic. What’s more, too much money will be spent building it, and it will take a long time to get the money back.
Weighing the pros and cons, I support the idea that a subway should be built because not only will the environment be protected but also more space will be saved.
