I used to be jealous of all my friends who were close to their fathers while growing up.

On the outside, I was doing well. I was 38 in school, had an idea of what I wanted to 39 do in life and tons of 40 . But I also had a lot of anger, most of which 41 at my father.
Everything looked 42 on paper, but I certainly wasn’t on the best 43 . It
was a very disjointed(脱节的) form of success---44 grades, but no vision for the future.

We had dinner here and there at first. Then, as we got more 49 with each other, he’d invite me to come out with him. What I didn’t have with my father, I had with my grandfather. My grandfather would sit me down and tell me to think 50 , think about a career, not a job.
Paul has always been very generous, but what he was always even more generous with was 51 . He’s always the first person I call with good news and the first person I call when I have a(n) 52 .
Life isn’t 53 by any means now, but there’s definitely a chance I’m not as 54 as I once was, but 55 to have this amazing human being in my life.

第三部分阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
第一节阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。

A
“I’m at peace with it. I have no regrets.” Li Na posted this bittersweet statement about her retirement from professional tennis last Friday. During Sunday’s farewell news conference, she wiped tears from her face, revealing just how hard it was for her to come to this decision.
The two-time Grand Slam champion, 32, has not played in a professional tournament since her third-round loss to the Czech Republic’s Barbora at Wimbledon 2014. In July, Li underwent a fourth surgery on her knee and said she hoped to be back for the Dongfeng Motor Wuhan Open, to be held in her hometown, but was unable to recover from her injuries.
At the age of 17, Li went professional and began training in the state sports system. After the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008, she made the life-changing decision to leave the national team.
The aggressive player has since become one of the region’s biggest stars and the poster girl for the Women’s Tennis Association. After her win at the 2011 French Open, Li became the first player from Asia to win a Grand Slam singles title. She went on to claim another Grand Slam title at the Australian Open this past January. At the height of her career, she was ranked the world’s No.2 player behind Serena Williams from the US.
Despite her tough performance on the court, Li won millions of admirers with her warm and charming personality outside the arena. Her frequent joking in courtside interviews about life with Jiang Shan, 34, her former coach and husband of eight years, helped her become a global icon.
Li’s biggest accomplishment, however, is her contribution to the rise of tennis in China. Just a few years ago, the sport was still in its infancy. The number of female tennis events in China has shot up from 2 to 10 over the course of the past decade.
Li is more than a sports superstar. She’s an inspiration to millions. In that sense, she’s achieved more in her professional life than most can ever dream.
56. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. The Best Tennis Player.
B. An Introduction to Li Na.
C. A Legend Says “Goodbye”.
D. Li Na Contributes a Lot to China.
57. Li Na’s biggest achievement is __________.
A. to win a Grand Slam singles title.
B. to promote tennis in China.
C. to rank the world’s No.2 player.
D. to become Asia’s biggest star.
58. We can learn from the passage that Li Na __________.
A. took part in the Dongfeng Motor Wuhan Open and won at last.
B. left the national team before the Beijing Olympic Games.
C. won three-time Grand Slam championships.
D. was admired by millions for her enthusiastic and appealing character.
59. What do the underlined words “shot up” in Para.6 probably mean?
A. Improved greatly.
B. Rose dramatically.
C. Appeared quickly.
D. Occurred suddenly.
B
I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career.
I wasn’t an excellent student because I didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn’t have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn’t the type to have a career.
I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls. It wasn’t too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn’t often work out.
I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.
One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification if I wanted to work with children. I didn’t think I would be accepted because I didn’t take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.
Now I’ve got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I
had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren’t top of the class at school.
60. When staying with the two girls’ family, the author __________.
A. took a day off every other week.
B. often worked long hours.
C. was paid for extra work.
D. got much help from her boss.
61. Why did the author leave her first job?
A. She was fed up with children.
B. She found a full-time job.
C. She needed a rest after working extra hours.
D. She decided to attend a part-time course.
62. What has the author learned from her own experiences?
A. One must choose the job she likes.
B. Less successful students can still have a career.
C. Hard work makes an excellent student.
D. Qualifications are necessary for a career.
C
Homestay provides English language students the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.
What to Expect
The host will provide accommodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.
Accommodation Zones
Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2, 3 and 4 of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town center as much of central London is commercial and not residential. Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less crowded area. It is very convenient to travel in London by underground.
Meal Plans Available
*Continental Breakfast
*Breakfast and Dinner
*Breakfast Packed Lunch and Dinner
It’s important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked
breakfast. Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal, bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by dessert, fruit and coffee.
Friends
If you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your host’s permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.
Self Catering Accommodation in Private Homes
Accommodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities (设施) and often a main living room. This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practice English at home quite as much.
63. The passage is probably written for __________.
A. travelers planning to visit families in London
B. foreigners hoping to build British culture
C. hosts willing to receive foreign students
D. English learners applying to live in English homes
64. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A. Accommodation in the city center is not provided.
B. The business center of London is probably in Zone 1.
C. Zone 4 is more crowded than Zone 2.
D. Hosts dislike travelling to the city center.
65. Why do some people choose self catering accommodation?
A. To entertain friends as they like.
B. To enrich their knowledge of English.
C. To experience a warmer family atmosphere.
D. To enjoy much more freedom.
第二节阅读下面的文章，从文章后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

How Helping Others Benefits You
Everyone wants to lead a happy and fulfilling life, so it’s natural to want to put yourself and your health first! However, helping other people can also directly help you at the same time.
Here are a few ways that helping others can benefit you:
1. Attract more back to you
When you give, you’re more likely to receive. You don’t necessarily need to keep the receiving in mind when you decide to give, but nature may just take its course.
66 Maybe you’ll come across some good fortune.
2. Bring you a good feeling
If you volunteer your time to help others, you’re sharing your blessings with those less fortunate, which is a wonderful gift to give! You’ll likely return home after volunteering with a smile on your face. 67
3. Heighten self-esteem
When you help others, you may be helping yourself to a heightened self-esteem.
A positive result for your good deeds enables you to feel pride in your accomplishments. 68
4. 69
After you’ve done something nice, you may also find that your confidence increases. The fact that your helpful acts have turned out so positive might lead you to the confidence you need in your own life.
5. Be more positive about your own situation
Sometimes you’ll find that you’re your own worst critic. You might accept the faults of others, but you may be less likely to accept your own. Helping others can help you to accept your own situation and your own faults. 70
Seek out opportunities, today, to help others. You’ll be glad you did!
A. Strengthen confidence.
B. Make a difference.
C. It may help you to start seeing everything in a more positive light.
D. Maybe a friend will unexpectedly return a favor.
E. It also builds confidence in bigger and better things.
F. Just by completing a giving act, you receive positive feelings in your life.
G. It makes you feel surprised to know that you’ve made a difference in the world.
