I will always remember my first day at the University of Lagos. On arrival at the campus, I was expecting to be met by some tired students(as was practiced in my secondary school), 36every student around was new like myself. I asked the way to the multi-purpose hall but no one could tell me. I asked a number of questions about issues that 37me, such as where and how to pay my fees, the way to the dining hall and so on, but no 38was offered. “So in the midst of so many people I am all 39. ”I thought to myself.

Dear Santa Claus,
My name is Amy. I am 9 years old. I have a problem at school. Can you help me, Santa? Kids laugh at me because of the way I walk and run and talk. I have cerebral palsy. I just want one day when no one laughs at me or makes fun of me.
Love,
Amy
At radio station WJLT in Fort Wayne, Indiana, letters poured in for the Christmas Wish Contest. When Amy’s letter arrived at the radio station, manager Lee Tobin read it carefully. He thought it would be good for the people in Fort Wayne to hear about this special third grader and her unusual wish. Mr. Tobin called up the local newspaper.
The next day, a picture of Amy and her letter to Santa made the front page of the “News Sentinel”. The story spread quickly. All across the country, newspapers and radio and television stations reported the story of the little girl in Fort Wayne, Indiana, who asked for such a simple, yet remarkable, Christmas gift—just one day without teasing.
Suddenly the postman was a regular at the Hagadorn house. Envelopes of all sizes addressed to Amy arrived daily from children and adults all across the nation. They came filled with holiday greetings and words of encouragement. Some of the writers had disabilities; some had been teased as children. Each writer had a special message for Amy. Through the cards and letters from strangers, Amy glimpsed a world full of people who truly cared
about each other.
Many people thanked Amy for being brave enough to speak up. Others encouraged her to ignore teasing and to carry her head high.
Amy did get her wish of a special day without teasing at South Wayne High School. Teachers and students talked together about how bad teasing can make others feel.
That year, the Fort Wayne mayor officially proclaimed December 21st as Amy Jo Hagadorn Day throughout the city. The mayor explained that by daring to make such a simpl e wish, Amy taught a universal lesson. “Everyone, ”said the mayor, “wants and deserves to be treated with respect, dignity and warmth. ”
56. Amy’s letter showed that ________ .
A. her school wasn’t a good place for students like her
B. her schoolmates cannot understand her disability
C. she wanted to win Christmas Wish Contest
D. she was often ignored in and out of class
57. The postman was a regular at the Hagadorn house because ________ .
A. he had to send letters to Amy daily
B. he was quite curious about Amy
C. he went to encourage Amy frequently
D. he was moved by Amy’s story
58. We may infer from Amy’s story that ________ .
A. people are easy to turn their eyes to the disabled
B. Amy will still be made fun of by others
C. the news media played an important role in helping Amy
D. there are few disabled people in Amy’s country
59. The Fort Wayne mayor officially proclaimed Amy Jo Hagadorn Day ________ .
A. to tell how bad teasing can make others feel
B. to encourage people to carry their heads high
C. to call on the public to treat everyone properly
D. to explain how brave Amy was by making her wish
B
When times get tough, we all look for ways to cut back. When we’re hungry, we eat at home instead of going out. We take buses instead of taxis. And we wear our old designer jeans just a few months longer. With college expenses at all-time highs, high school students are eager to do anything to cut the cost of a university education.
One cost-cutting proposal is to allow college students to get a bachelor’s degree in three years instead of four. Educational institutions have been actively exploring ways to make the learning process more efficient. But there’s a question: Would the quality of undergra duate education suffer? Few US universities have formally approved a “three-year degree” model.
I doubt that mainstream North American colleges will carry out a three-year curriculum any time soon. For one thing, most universities already allow highly qualified students to graduate early by testing out of certain classes and obtaining a number of college credits. In addition, at famous universities, the committee who determine which courses are required and which courses are electives are unlikely to s uddenly “throw out” one quarter of the required credits. Professors will resist “diluting(稀释)”the quality of the education they offer.
In my opinion, a quality four-year education is always superior to a quality three-year education. A college education requires sufficient time for a student to become skilled in their major and do coursework in fields outside their major. It is not a good idea to water down education, any more than it’s not a good idea to water down medicine. If we want to help students find their way through university, we should help them understand early on what knowledge and skills they need to have upon graduation. We should allow students to test out of as many courses as possible. We should give them a chance to earn money as interns(实习生)in meaningful part-time jobs that relate to their university studies, such as the five-year co-op program at Northeastern University.
60. Which of the following can be the best title?
A. It’s time to shorten the learning process
B. Best learning takes place over time
C. University education should be watered down
D. College education calls for reform
61. In most US universities, ________ .
A. some excellent students can graduate ahead of time
B. college students are offered the co-op program
C. electives’ credits make up one quarter of the required credits
D. all students are required to finish four-year education before graduation
62. We can infer that ________ .
A. the author is a college professor
B. the author considers the university education quality very important
C. the author thinks the cost of a university education is too high for people to afford
D. the author pays special attention to the all-round development of college students
63. The first paragraph serves as a(n) ________ .
A. explanation
B. Definition
C. Comment
D. introduction
C
War or natural disasters often destroy or cause major damage to sanitary systems. The destruction of waste treatment systems can increase the risk of disease and even death among survivors.
Some people dig holes in the ground that serve as individual toilets. However,
micro-organisms from human wastes can reach water supplies and cause cholera or other diseases.
A United Nations team is now developing a toilet for disaster areas. The experimental project is called eSOS—for the Emergency Sanitation Operation System. The system is lightweight and operates on sunlight power.
Scientists are working on the toilet at the UN’s Institute for Water Education in the Netherlands. Damir Brdjanovic is heading the project. He says his team hopes to bring disaster assistance into the 21st century.
The eSOS system has several ‘smart’ features, such as a self-contained energy supply unit. Another is a global positioning system sensor, very much like the GPS equipment in some vehicles. There is also equipment that measures waste buildup. All of the information from the toilet system can be shared with an emergency organization center. Officials at the center can then identify the needs of an affected disaster area. The eSOS system can also recycle liquid wastes into water that can be used for farming. This involves treating the urine(尿液)with the help of a membrane bioreactor system(膜生物反应器系统).
The smart toilet is being tested. Damir Brdjanovic and his team plan to test the toilet at a refugee camp in the Philippines later this year. The developers hope this disaster relief will save the lives of many refugees.
64. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Toilet for Our Future Life
B. Machine to Recycle Human Wastese
C. New Technology to Reduce the Risk of Disease
D. SOS—the Emergency Sanitation Operation System
65. Which of the following is NOT true about eSOS?
A. It weighs light.
B. It serves as individual toilet for disaster survivors.
C. It doesn’t need any power.
D. It is equipped with a global positioning system sensor.
66. What can we infer from this passage?
A. eSOS can prevent any risk of disease.
B. eSOS will be put into use in the near future.
C. Damir Brdjanovic holds a negative attitude to eSOS.
D. The eSOS system can recycle liquid wastes into drinkable water.
D
When I was 16 years old and in foster care in Tennessee, people told me I was unadoptable. But I desperately wanted a family. I sought the help of a judge, even the commissioner of the Department of Children’s Services, and was adopted just a week before my 18th birthday.
We have a lot to be grateful for and this holiday season let’s not forget about the more than 415,000 youth in foster care especially older youth. These youth are the most likely to get overlooked for adoption, but they shouldn’t be. They need and deserve a family just as much as young children do. Making an older youth a part of your family can bring just as much a joy as adopting a baby or a younger child—without all the diapers and potty training.
My adoption was life changing and probably the best thing that ever happened to me. I still remember the first gift my parents gave to me. It was a Mickey Mouse key chain with a key to their home. They told me that no matter what happened they would always love me and I’d always have a place to come home to. This is our 17th Thanksgiving together...
My first Thanksgiving with my family was a little overwhelming with lots of extended family including grandparents, aun ts, uncles, and cousins. However, it’s when I realized that I would never have to spend another holiday alone and that was truly an amazing feeling.
I was always eager to spend time with my little sister, Beth. She was six when I joined the family. My dad always says he knew we were really sisters, and I was no longer a guest in the house when Beth and I had our first fight. Today, she’s one of my best friends, and I’m her biggest cheerleader.
There were also bittersweet Thanksgivings. One we spent in my mom’s hospital room. It was there that she helped me plan my wedding but passed away three weeks before the ceremony. My dad walked me down the aisle, and my sister was my maid of honor. Because of our bond, we were able to support each other through that challenging time and that’s what family is for—the good and bad times.
It’s nice having my dad and sister to share holidays and special occasions. But they’re even more important when it comes to the little things—like having someone to share my bad day with, celebrate my promotion at work, or help me think through a difficult decision. It’s in these moments that I just can’t imagine being alone in the world.
I’m so glad that I didn’t listen to those people who said I was unadoptable, I’d never find a fami ly, and that I was
If you know someone who might consider adopting an older teen, please share my story -- and have him or her think of my family. They didn’t get to see my first steps or watch me be a pilgrim in my second grade Thanksgiving play. But they taught me so many things about life, and were there to watch me walk across the stage when I graduated from college and law school and accompanied me to the White House last year as I was honored for my work helping foster youth.
I look forward to many more Thanksgivings with my family, and I’m eternally thankful they chose me to be a part of their family.
67. What contributes to the author’s feeling that she can’t imagine being alone in the world
A. The family’s giving the author a Mickey Mouse as a gift.
B. The aut hor’s spending her Thanksgiving with her extended family for 17 years.
C. The mother’s failing to attend the author’s wedding ceremony for her severe disease.
D. The family’s always sharing happiness and sorrow with her.
68. What does adoption for older youth really mean
A. It means not living alone any longer.
B. It means being taken good care of by others.
C. It means being successful in career.
D. It means being loved and a sense of belonging.
69. The underlined sentence “It’s an opportunity to be rejected once again.” in Paragraph 8 means that _________.
A. older teens take the opportunity to be adopted
B. older teens are less likely to be adopted
C. older teens create the opportunity to be adopted
D. older teens are in danger of being adopted
70. What’s the author’s main purpose of writing the passage
A. To express her appreciation for her family.
B. To show sympathy to the unadoptable older youth.
C. To appeal to more people to adopt the older youth.
D. To persuade the rea ders not to believe others’ words.
第四部分: 任务型阅读(共10小题; 每小题1分, 满分10分)
请阅读下面短文, 并依据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

留意: 每个空格只填一个单词。

Whatever your career, and whatever your goals in life are, ideas are going to matter to you. One great idea could change your life. The thing is, you probably don’t have as many great ideas as you’d like. Perhaps you feel unimaginative and unoriginal. You keep hoping that a really good idea will just pop into your head, but that never seems to happen. The good news? Ideas aren’t magic dust sprinkled by the Muses. There’s an awful lot you can do to generate ideas any time you want.
First, you need time to come up with ideas –and quality time, where you’re not worrying about the chores or your emails. Getting quality time ideally means taking a whole day away from your regular responsibilities. Go out to a coffee shop with a notebook, or shut yourself in a room at home without internet access. Get a zoomed-out view of your life: set aside worries about “but what would people think?” and “is it sensible?” and let yourself dream. You’ll be amazed what you come up with.
Ever had an idea which you immediately dismissed? You probably told yourself “That’s stupid,” or “It’s been done before.”When you’re generating ideas and thinking through possibilities, you’ll inevitably come up with a few false starts. Some ideas will be unoriginal, undesirable or unworkable. But that’s not a bad thing. One idea often leads to a whole train of thought – and you might end up with a really good idea from something which seemed, at first glance, unpromising.
Although I’m a bit of an introvert – I like to spend a fair amount of time on my own – I also get a great buzz from being with like-minded people and discussing ideas and projects with them. You’ve probably e xperienced something similar yourself – maybe in a brainstorming meeting at work, or maybe just at a bar with friends. The energy generated by several people together can spark some brilliant ideas –ones which you’d never have come up with alone. How do you find like-minded people to bounce ideas off? You could try: Local groups, such as evening classes; Getting together with a couple of friends who “get” your dreams; Finding an online forum of people with the same interest or goals as you.
Ideas don’t just appear in a vacuum. They’re formed from all the various input that you take in. Sometimes, a news story might give you the perfect idea for a Christmas present for your sister, or a book that you’re reading might get you thinking about a particular goal in your life.The more widely you read, the more open you’ll be to new ideas cropping up. That might mean reading a magazine or journal article that’s far outside your normal area of expertise, or turning to a biography of someone who you know almost nothing about.A great place to start is online: blogs, news sites, forums and even Twitter and Facebook are all a rich source of ideas, just waiting for you.
How do you come up with great ideas? And is there a particular area of your life where you feel like you’re
81. It ______ _______ ________ ________ ________( 有待观看是否) he will give up taking drugs.
82. The Chinese language differs from Western languages ________ ________(缘由是), instead of an alphabet, it uses characters which stand for ideas, objects or deeds.
83. I certainly think there should be _____ _______ _______ (禁止) tobacco advertising.
84. While the students found the soldier’s idea interesting, the system was too difficult to _____ _____ _________ ________(有用).

After a while, she took away my headset and opened her laptop. Afterwards she connected to the Internet with my connector. Then something unexpected happened. She used the audio player with the loudspeaker. She entered her QQ Zone and started using the video system to chat with my microphone. Sounds of music, QQ and their talking became louder and louder. She completely ignored that I was there reviewing my lessons.
I could not bear that, so I asked her to be quiet a little, but I failed. At last I had to go away to the classroom.
