二、阅读单选
I will never forget a girl student sitting at the back of the classroom. Having failed the college entrance examination and changed schools twice, she couldn't smile naturally.
Life is harder for senior high school students. Every time when the scores came out, her scores wouldn't be the first but the last. Dark clouds always flashed in her eyes. When I invited her to the teachers' office, we never talked about studies or scores but jokes.
The exam results finally came out and she did pass! Since then she had never been heard from again.
Two days before the Spring Festival Eve, I was shopping in a supermarket. Suddenly an excited voice came into my ears, "Hello, Mr Deng." I looked up and she was doing her part-time job during the college vacation. From her happy face, I could see she was busy but happy. "Mr Deng, I am in the second year of my college. You helped me get through my darkest time. Thank you." At that moment, I realized how important it was to give a bit of care to those in need. Your each gesture or word may mean a lot to someone.
11．How many times did the girl take the college entrance examination?
A．Once. B．Twice. C．Three times. D．Four times.
12．The girl's scores were________ in every exam before going to college.
A．always the first B．usually too bad C．sometimes good D．never the last
13．How long had the girl been in college?
A．For about half a year. B．For about a year.
C．For about one and a half years. D．For about two years.
14．What does the underlined sentence tell us?
A．You may help others a lot even if you give a little.
B．You should greet others when meeting on the way.
C．You must try to help everyone in need.
D．You need to explain each gesture or word to someone.
Nowadays there are many people going from villages or small towns to big cities to realize their
dreams, but there are also people doing the opposite.
Janet Lincoln moved to St. Louis five years ago. Here’s what she said.
“I used to live in a small town called Bertrand. I grew up there. After I graduated from high
school, I worked in a supermarket. There were about 800 people in my town, and I knew most of
them. Most of them knew me, too. At the age of 21, I got a chance and moved to St. Louis. I love
it. I don’t know as many people now as I used to, but that’s OK. I live in an apartment and have
a few good friends. There are a lot of fun things to do in the big city.”
Troy Henson has the opposite experience. He, his wife and their two children moved from St.
Louis to Bloomfield three years ago. Here’s what Troy said:
“Both Darla and I grew up in St. Louis. We met at college and got married. Then the kids came along and life got difficult. We didn’t know any of our neighbors. We both had good jobs, and we were always very busy. But it seemed there was never enough money. That all changed when we moved to Bloomfield. We don’t make as much money as we used to, but we don’t have as many expenses as we did and we are relaxed. It’s good.”

"How are you?" is a nice question. It's a friendly way that people in the USA greet each other. But "How are you?" is also a very unusual question. It's a question that often doesn't need an answer. The person who asks "How are you?" hopes to hear the answer "Fine" which isn't really an answer. It is simply another way of saying "Hello" or "Hi".
Sometimes, people also don't say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks "Do you agree?" the other people might think, "No, I don't agree. I think you are wrong." But it isn't very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say "I'm not sure." It's a nicer way to say that you don't agree with someone.
People also don't say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person says "I've to go now." Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse: "Someone is at the door." "Something is burning on the stove(炉子)." The excuses might be real. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn't want to talk any more, but it isn't polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn't hurt the other person.
Whether they are greeting each other, taking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people don't say exactly what they are thinking. It's an important way that people try to be nice to each other. It's part of the game of language.
19．When a person in America asks "How are you?", he or she wants to hear "_________". A．How are you? B．Hello. C．I don't know. D．Fine.
20．When a person disagrees with someone, it is polite to say "_________"
A．You are wrong. I disagree. B．I'm not sure.
C．I'm sure I disagree. D．No, I disagree.
21．A polite way to finish a talk is to say "_________".
A．You have to go now. B．I want to hang up.
C．I have to go now. D．I don't want to talk any more.
22．When a person says “I’ve to go now. Someone is at the door.”, the person may be ________．A．giving an excuse. B．hurting someone’s feeling
C．ill D．asking you a question
23．The rule of the game of language is probably_________.
A．"Always say what you mean"
B．"Don't disagree with people"
C．"Never say exactly what you are thinking"
D．"Be polite and nice"
