When people smile for no reason, Russians find the smiling faces artificial or insincere.When two Russians meet in a restaurant, they look away, since smiling at strangers is not considered friendly in the culture. In shops, the Russian cashier(收银员) won’t offer a smile to a customer because he doesn’t know him, and because he is working. Russian President Vladimir Putin may look very serious while standing next to American President BarackObama, but it’s usually not because he is angry or upset—he’s just doing his job.Americans, on the other hand, seem to smile for any reason. The “American smile” has a long-standing bad reputation in Russia, mainly because of the bad relationship between the two countries which lasted for more than half a century.But Russian people do smile, of course, for true happiness—fair health, a pleasant mood, prosperity, all good reasons.When Russians do offer a smile in public, it’s usually directed at someone they know. Still, they tend to smile only with their lips, with only a small part of the teeth seen. Any more, and that smile es off as unpleasant or even uncivilized.The biggest and most natural smiles e out at home, where Russians laugh and joke like any American would, with close friends and family members. But when someone brings out a camera, the corners of their mouths turn down again, because photos are thought to be less personal and more public. So in photos they are usually stone-faced.. So, don’t be surprised at the serious-looking Russians in Sochi. They’re friendly though they don’t smile.26. In Sochi, Leigh found that ________.A. smiles are not allowed in RussiaB. Russian cashiers are usually not kind to customersC. Putin and Obama were also there for the gamesD. he received no response when he smiled to Russians27. For Russians the “American smile” is ______.A. false and dishonestB. friendly and genuineC. informal but pleasantD. too casual but kind28. Which of the following about Russian smile is TRUE?A. A smile is regarded as an insincere practice.B. A smile is mon in the service industry.C. Smiles are exchanged between strangers.D. A big smile on public occasions is unusual.29. Russians in photos are usually stone-faced because ______.A. those photos are not taken at homeB. they never smile big or naturallyC. photos are not something very private for themD. they are not with close friends and family members30. What does the writer think of Russians?A. They can easily bee angry and upset.B. They may look serious but friendly.C. They are always in pleasant mood and look happy.D. They are usually stone-faced for no reasonsBMy mother is always a strong woman. She came to America when she was 12—old enough to remember her language, she achieved scores and grades high enough to be admitted to Duke University. With a degree in puter science, she finally became the manager of a pany in New York. My mother could give fluent speeches, say “wolves” correctly.It was my mother who always stressed the importance of language. From the time I was born, I was read to. I would fall asleep to the sounds of my parents’ voices, whether it was my dad’s softly accented, or my mother’s clear English. The flow of language was unbroken, and whether in Chinese or English, the stream of munication flowed through our house.One October morning in sixth grade, after my mother had left to catch the train to the city, I left the house for the bus stop. I was surprised when I saw our car, the door hanging open. As I drew closer, I saw my mother lying on the ground.In the hospital, it was hard to believe that the lady who lay before me was my mom. My mother could not remember my name. As the leaves changed colors, it became clear that the stroke had created a wall between my mother’s mind and mouth: her mind was not any less clear, but the words she spoke were not what she meant.The battle my mother faced taught me the importance of language. Without it, identity does not exist; relationships cannot be formed; stories cannot be told; directions cannot be given, and knowing anything about anyone is impossible. Without language, munication cannot take place. Without language, one cannot express the beauty of a sunset or the kindness of a stranger. The world would pass us by in silence.31. From where might the author’s mom e to America?A. ChinaB. EnglandC. RussiaD. Canada32. From the second paragraph, we can know ________.A. the author was taught to read since she was bornB. the author’s father also spoke very fluent EnglishC. the author couldn’t fall asleep without being read toD. the author’s parents taught her language by talking a lot33. According to the last two paragraphs, the author’s mom was unable to _______.A. think clearlyB. speakC. express herself wellD. open her mouth34. The underlined word “stroke” in the 4th paragraph most probably refers to ______.A. a traffic accidentB. a hitC. a robberyD. an illness35. This passage is mainly about _________.A. a strong motherB. the importance of languageC. a family disasterD. the significance of teaching languageCA friend of mine recently started a conversation with these words: “I hope you don’t misunderstand me, but…”I wish I could tell you what she said next. But I wasn’t listening—my brain had stopped at that moment. I thought she would say something bad, and I felt bad.Certain phrases bee our daily speech before we know it—we hear them a few times and suddenly we find ourselves using them. We like the way they sound, and we may find they are useful. They may make it easier to say something difficult or buy us a few extra seconds to collect our next thought.Yet for the listener, these phrases are confusing. Consider: “I want you to know…”or “I’m just saying…”or “I hate to be the one to tell you this, but…” Often, these phrases suggest the opposite meanings like “I’m not telling the truth”.Take this sentence: “I want to say that your new haircut looks beautiful.” In one sense, it’s true: The speaker does wish to tell you that your hair looks great. But does he or she really think it is so or just want to say it? It’s unclear.Language experts have a text book name for these phrases—“qualifiers(修饰语)”. At first, these phrases seem harmless, formal and polite. But when used, they are often followed with something bad, and that makes the speaker less harmless, less polite and less true.Sometimes, politeness is another word for deception. By saying those words, you don’t have to make your true self exposed. In other words, if you’re going to lie, it’s a good way to say those words—it’s hard to tell whether you’re lying.So, if you really want to be honest, just say what you want to say, without using the “qualifiers”.36. Using the example at the beginning of the article, the writer ______.A. describes her friend’s art of speechB. shows how powerful some phrases areC. introduces her understanding of “qualifiers”D. suggests a way of starting a conversation37. The writer couldn’t tell you what her friend said next because _______.A. she was ashamed that she had forgotten itB. her friend didn’t say anything at allC. what her friend said was not trueD. the writer didn’t at all listen to her friend38. About “qualifiers”, which of the following statements does the writer think NOT true?A. They seem to be polite and harmless.B. They may be useful to the speaker in some way.C. They make speeches confusing and unclear.D. They turn dull speeches into attractive ones.39. What does the underlined word “deception” probably mean?A. applyingB. praisingC. cheatingD. offending40. The writer’s attitude towards the use of “qualifiers: is ______.A. positiveB. negativeC. neutralD. indifferentDWhile Andrew was getting ready for work one Friday morning, he announced to his wife that he had finally decided to ask his boss for a salary raise. All day Andrew felt nervous and anxious as he thought about the uping showdown. What if Mr Larchmont refused to grant his request? Andrew had worked so hard in the last 18 months and landed some great accounts for Braer and Hopkins Advertising Agency. Of course, he deserved a wage increase.The thought of walking into Larchmont’s office left Andrew weak in the knees. Late in the afternoon he was finally courageous enough to approachhis superior. To his delight and surprise, the ever-frugal(一向节俭的) Harvey Larchmont agreed to give Andrew a raise!Andrew arrived home that evening—despite breaking all city and state speed limits—to a beautiful table set with their best china, and candles lit. His wife, Tina, had prepared a delicate meal including his favorite dishes. Immediately he figured someone from the office had tipped her off!Next to his plate Andrew found a beautiful lettered note. It was from his wife. It read: “Congratulations, my love! I knew you’d get the raise!I prepared this dinner to show just how much I love you. I am so proud of your acplishments!” He read it and stopped to reflect on how sensitive and caring Tina was.After dinner, Andrew was on his way to the kitchen to get dessert when he observed that a second card had slipped out of Tina’s pocket onto the floor. He bent forward to pick it up. It read: “Don’t worry about not getting the raise! You do deserve one! You are a wonderful provider and I prepared this dinner to show you just how much I love you even though you did not get the increase.”Suddenly tears swelled in Andrew’s eyes. Total acceptance! Tina’s support for him was not conditional upon his success at work.The fear of rejection is often softened and we can undergo almost any setback or rejection when we know someone loves us regardless of our success or failure.41. What was Andrew’s plan that Friday?A. To request a wage increase from his boss.B. To get a job with the Braer and Hopkins Advertising Agency.C. To celebrate his success with his wife at home.D. To ask his boss to e for dinner.42. On his way back home, Andrew _________.A. felt weak in the kneesB. was punished by the traffic policemanC. could hardly wait to enjoy a mealD. couldn’t wait to share the news43. Which of the following statements about the story is FALSE?A. Andrew was afraid that his request would lead to disaster.B. Andrew had worked very hard and done his part for the pany.C. Andrew’s boss agreed to his request.D. One of Andrew’s colleagues had told his wife the good news.44. Why did Tina prepare a grand dinner for Andrew that day?A. She was confident of his getting a pay raise.B. She believed that her husband was the best in his pany.C. She meant to show her support whatever the result would be.D. She wanted to express her gratitude for his devotion to the family.45. We can conclude from the text that ______.A. we should never be afraid to ask for what is due to usB. work hard and you will be rewardedC. many fears turn out to be unfoundedD. unconditional love brings courage and strength第二节信息匹配(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 首先，请阅读以下网站的简介信息：请阅读以下人员信息，然后匹配人员与相关网站。

So, I decided one year to bypass the usual shirts, sweaters and ties and reach for something 39 just for Mike.The inspiration came in an 40 way. Our son Kevin, who was 12 that year, was wrestling at the school he attended; and shortly before Christmas, there was a match against a team of mostly black kids sponsored by a church. These young men, dressed in ragged sneakers, 41 a sharp contrast to our boys in their nice uniforms and sparkling new wrestling shoes. As the match began, I was alarmed to see that the other team was wrestling without helmets, a luxury that they obviously couldn’t42 . Well, we thoroughly defeated them and took every weight class. Mike shook his head 43 , "I wish just one of them could have won," he said. "They have a lot of potential, but losing like this could take the heart right out of them.1"Mike loved kids and he knew them. That's when the 44 for his present came. That afternoon, I went to a local 45 goods store and bought wrestling headgear and shoes and sent them anonymously（慝名）to the church. On Christmas Eve, I placed the envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Mike what I had done and that this was my gift from him.

D on’t worry, Tom！" His father said, "50 we’d better go back to our hotel in order to avoid being harmed.”51.stayed in the seaside for several weeks. Though the weather was much hott er, Tom got used to it. Every morning, he got up52. than his parents and went for breakfast ahead of time. Then he went to have a chat with his new friend, Jack．Not on ly53．Jack familiar with the seaside, but he was also a man with good qualificatio n．They became very good friends soon．After parted, they kept writing to each other．N ow, Tom still often hears54．Jack．They talked in their letters about things and persons55．they remembered in the s easide．Directions: Read the following three passages．Each passage is followed by several q uestions unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C an d D．Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage．AWhen buying from a dealer, the law says that a car must be:As described:This includes the history of the car as well as its specification．For example, if the dealer described the car as previously having “one careful lady owner”, it shouldn’t turn out to have hadseveral previous “boy racer” owners.Of satisfactory quality:It must meet the standard that a reasonable person would regard as acceptable and be free from any quality problem．Also, bear in mind that a second-hand car will have a slightly different definition of what is considered “satisfactory”, because there’s certainly an element of wear and tear．Fit for the purpose:It must be reasonable fit for any normal purpose and this includes any purpose that you specify to the seller．●If any of the above is violated, then in theory, you may have the fight to reject the vehicle and get your money back if you’re reasonably quick. Alternatively, the dealer might offer to replace or repair the car; reduce the price of offering a partial refund(退款).Once you’ve informed the dealer that you wish to reject the car , you must stop using the vehicle.●If the rejection is not accepted, then it’s up to you to prove your case. You’ll need to pay for an independent assessment of the car and sue for damages. If you do choose a repair, insist the dealer provide you with a hire car or pay any reasonable traveling expenses thus produced while your new car is in the garage.●If the car is new ,it’s likely that the claim will be too high to be fought. Using the small claims procedure to you may have to pay for legal representation. All this can be pretty daunting and expensive. You need to weigh up the pros and cons before rejecting a car. Would a repair do just as well? Selecting a dealer who offers a clear exchange policy may help.56．After the above writing, you will be better at .A．choosing a car B．dealing with car sellersC．making a claim D．suing for damages57．According to the text, what is essential after you inform the dealer of your wish to reject the car?A．Suing for damages．B．Demanding traveling expenses．C．Stopping using it．D．Proving your case．58．If the dealer offers to repair the car you have bought, which of the following is acceptable?A．Asking the dealer to provide you with a hire car．B．Asking the dealer to provide you with repair tool sets．C．Asking the dealer to pay all of your traveling expenses．D．Asking the dealer to return all your money．59．Which of the following words has the closest meaning to the underlined word “daunting” in the last paragraph?A．Different．B．Effective．C．Discouraging．D．Convenient．60．What does the writer want to say in the last paragraph?A．Buyers should select a dealer that offers to repair the car．B．Rejecting a new car is not necessarily that best choice．C．It’s necessary that a new car should be repaired．D．Buyers should never reject a mew car．BDear Kind-Trustee-Who-Sends-Orphans-to-College,Here I an! I traveled yesterday for four hours in a train．It’s a funny feeling, isn’t it? I never rode in one before．College is the biggest, most puzzling place—I get lost whenever I leave my room. I will write you a description later when I'm feeling less confused; also I will tell you about my lessons. Classes don't begin until Monday morning, and this is Saturday night. But I wanted to write a letter first just to get acquainted.It seems strange to be writing letters to somebody you don't know. It seems strange for me to be writing letters at all—I've never written more than three or four in my life, so please overlook it if these are not a model kind.Before leaving yesterday morning, Mrs. Lippett and I had a very serious talk. She told me how to behave all the rest of my life, and especially how to behave towards the kind gentlemanwho is doing so much for me. I must take care to be very respectful.But how can one be very respectful to a person who wishes to be called John Smith? Why couldn't youhave picked out a name with a little personality? I might as well write letters to Dear Flagpole or Dear Clothes-line.I have been thinking about you a great deal this summer; having somebody take an interest in me after all these years makes me feel as though I had found a sort of family. It seems as though I belonged to somebody now, and it's a very comfortable feeling. I must say, however, that when I think about you, my imagination has very little to work upon. There are just three things that I know: I, You are tall. Ⅱ. You are rich. Ⅲ. You hate girls.I suppose I might call you Dear Mr. Girl-Hater. Only that's rather rude to me. Or Dear Mr. Rich-Man, but that's rude to you, as though money were the only important thing about you. Besides, being rich is such a very external quality. Maybe you won't stay rich all your life; lots of very clever men get broke in Wall Street. But at least you will stay tall all your life! So I've decided to call you Dear Daddy-Long-Legs. I hope you won't mind. It's just a private pet name we won't tell Mrs. Lippett.The ten o'clock bell is going to ring in two minutes. Our day is divided into sections by bells. We eat and sleep and study by bells. It's very lifeful. There it goes! Lights out. Good night.Observe how precisely I obey rules--due to my training in the John Grier Home.Yours mostrespectfully,Jerusha AbbottTo Mr. Daddy-Long-Legs Smith 61．Jerusha felt “confused” because ．A．she had never written to the trustee beforeB．she was not familiar with the college yetC．she could never find the way to her homeD．she had never traveled on a train berore62．Jerusha thought that she couldn’t be very respectful to “John Smith” because ．A．he was a total stranger to herB．she was sure it was a false identityC．the name was too commonD．nobody would like to be called that time63．According to Jerusha, being rich may be ．A．tentative B．unimaginable C．traditional D．rude 64．The fact that her day is “divided into sections by bells” makes Jerusha feel ．A．busy B．restricted by rules C．pressed for time D．full of energy65．Jerusha decided to call the trustee Dear Daddy-Long-legs ．A．in order to show her respect for himB．because it was one of his inner qualityC．in older to make them feel closer to each otherD．because she had always wanted a fatherCThe next generation of smart phone could combine the date from its gyroscopes (陀螺仪) with a built-in compass to allow you to track your indoor movements even without GPS Research described it in the international Journal of Innovative Computing and Applications by Shahid Ayub of Lancaster University, and his colleagues there and at HW Communications, suggests that the embedded inertial sensors (嵌入式惯性传感器) in many smart phones have added the facility to be used for localisation and tracking applications. Theprimary benefit of using smart phones is that no additional infrastructure would need to be installed for monitoring personnel movements in a wide variety of situations not least staff, equipment and inventory movements in warehouse facilities, shopping malls and factories. In contrast, other technology being proposed would require new equipment，such as RFID technologies.However, smart phones do not yet have the ability to pinpoint their location without recourse to the GPS system, which is not accessible indoors and has the added disadvantage of using up battery power very quickly even if it could be used. Inertial navigation only provides the necessary information relative to a specified starting point the team says. This is useful for anyone with a non-GPS smart phone who wishes to track the route they take when walking or jogging if they specify their starting point. The team suggests that pedestrians indoors could be positioned using a combination of the smart phone accelerometer(加速器) and an built-in digital compass, something that will become available in future smart phones.They have now investigated the potential of three different smart phone placement modes: idle, hand held and listening, which could be used with pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR) techniques to allow users to record the path they follow or for various kinds of workplace or other monitoring requirements."The technique could be used in underground tube stations, airports , train stations where there is no infrastructure installed for tracking or navigation," Ayub explains, "It can also be used for location-based service applications. In big shopping malls it becomes easier to navigate to a target shop or meeting place, while in large offices and across industry it could be used to track employees and control movements of workers in restricted areas."66．What is the primary benefit of using smart phones with embedded inertial sensors?A．They require new equipment, such as RFID technologies．B．They can track pedestrian movement indoors with GPS．C．No additional infrastructure would be needed．D．No additional money would be spent．67．What can we know from the third paragraph?A．pedestrians indoors cannot be positioned using GPS．B．GPS can be used to locate pedestrians indoors．C．Smart phones with embedded inertial sensors can save a lot of energy．D．The current GPS system is perfect in many ways．68．We can learn from the passage that the recent studies of smart phones ．A．were conducted by Shahid Ayub aloneB．were supported by GPSC．have no connection with everyday needsD．can be applied to underground tube stations69．The next generation of smart phone will be able to ．a．make it easier to find places in a big shopping mallb．track employees in large officesc．make GPS useless in train stationsd．monitor the movements of workers in restricted areasA．a, b, c B．b, c, d C．a, b, d D．a, c, d 70．What would be the best title for the text?A．Tracking Pedestrians Indoors Using Their Smart PhonesB．GPS Found to Have DefectsC．Additional Infrastructure Should Be Constructed in AirportsD．People Need to Replace Their Current Smart PhonesPart ⅣWriting (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage．Fill in the numbered blands by using the information from the passage．Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．TV and computer games are blamed for everything from turning our children into a generation of couch potatoes to increased anti-social behavior．Dr ．Aric Sigman an associate fellow of the British Psychological Society, believes watching TV too much Puts children at increased risk of health problems, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and obesity．If you’re worried about how long your child spends in front of a screen．It may be time to review and modify your family’s screen habits．Research firm BMRB estimates young people in the UK aged between 11 and 15 spend ,on average, 52 hours a week in front of a screen．In April , he told MPs children under three shouldn’t be exposed to TV at all．He recommended children aged between three and seven should watch no more than 30 minutes to an hour of TV a day, seven to 12-yea-olds should be limited to one hour, and 12 to 15-year-olds should watch a maximum of one and a half hours．Dr ．Sigman wants the Government to publish recommended daily guidelines for TV watching, as it does for salt intake．Both women, who have five children between them, acknowledge that cutting down screen time can be tough．“It needs a bit of effort, but small steps can make a difference so everyone in the family is happier,” says Laura O’ Flynn．Keep TVs and computers out of children’s bedrooms．Watching TV before going to sleep doesn’t help children settle．Instead, read a bedtime story or encourage them to read for themselves．Having and who they’re talking to onlin e．Good viewing habits start young．It’s difficult to impose rules on teenagers who already watch excessive TV or play computer games for hours on

limits．Decide with your children how much time they can spend watching TV or playing computer games．Think in 30-minute units．Shorter periods make it easier to switch off and cut down on screen consumption．Lead by example．Don’t have a TV in your own bedroom and don’t spend hours watching TV or online．Do some activities, such as playing board games or going out on a bike ride to distract their attention from TV or computers．Laura O’ Flynn says: “we went into lots of schools and the children told us they wished their parents would take them to the park and play with them ．”Before rushing to throw out your TV set or computer, it’s worth remembering much of the current research focuses on excessive TV watching．Watching TV as a family can be a shared social event and , if you plan your viewing and do something different to look forward to together rather than having the TV on all the time ,it’s all about striking rig ht balance．Review and modify your family’s screen

differentSection B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage．Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage．It’s no secret that raising children can be expensive but how about nearly a quarter of million dollars worth of expensive? A government report released on Tuesday says a middle income family with a child born last year will spend about $221,000 raising that child through to age 17．The report identified housing as the largest single expense, followed by food and childcare and education costs. The $221,000 in expenses rises to about $292,000 when adjusted for inflation(通货膨胀). Families with more income spend more money on child-related costs, the report said. A two-parent family that earns less than $57,000 annually will spend about $160,000 on a child from birth through high school. Those with an income between $57,000 and $99,000 spend about $221,000 and those with higher incomes are expected to spend roughly $367,000.Most single-parent households in the U.S. make less than $57,000 and are expected to spend about 7 percent less on child-rearing costs, compared to two-parent households in that same income group, according to the report. Costs of raising a child are highest in the urban northeast and lowest in the urban south and rural areas. The report helps courts and states determine child-support guidelines and foster care payments. It does not address costs specifically related to childbearing(分娩) and college.One of the largest changes over time has been the increase in costs related to caring for young children. The report was first issued in 1960, when such costs were largely very tiny, but with more working families turning to outside help with childcare, it has grown to be a significant expense for many families. The report does not give total costs related to early childcare. A mother of three Raben Andrews of St. Louis said the government figures sounded right to her. “well, that’s not half of it,” joked the 42-year-old public school teacher. “ I still have to put the children through college.”81．What does the author say in the first Paragraph ? (No more than 8 words) (2marks) 82．List three kinds of expenses of raising a child, according to the text. (No more than 11words)(2marks)83．What does the data in the second paragraph illustrate?

阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）AFour things that you can’t miss in MacaoMacao Tower AJ Hackett Bungee JumpThe Macao Tower, 338 meters is the world’s 10th highest tower, with a variety of activities, such as gambling, eating and entertainment. One of the acclaimed activities is the bungee jump. The AJ Hackett Macao Tower Bungee Jump is 233 meters high, making it the highest commercial bungee jump in the world. Raise your arms and off you go! If you are not daring enough to jump that height, you can try the skywalk on the 57th floor ---it’s still remarkable.Grabbing a traditional Portuguese dinnerMacao was colonized by Portugal before 1999. As a result, Portuguese culture is deeply immersed into many comers of Macao. Many Portuguese settled and opened Portuguese restaurants in the special administrative region, but the flavor is more adaptable to Chinese people. Marking at the Ruins of St PaulThe Ruins of St. Paul is the significant landmark of Macao. The ruins consist of the St. Paul’s College and the Church of St Paul, built in 1583. However, after three intense fires in 1595, 1601 and 1835, the church was seriously damaged. It is beyond belief that after the vigorous cycles of rebuilding and fires, the huge surface and the front stairway remain unburned.Visiting a museumMacao, as a tiny city with only an area of 30.5 square kilometers, has 23 eye-catching museums. Due to its unique history, both eastern and western historical sites can be found. Many of them are preserved for cultural heritage, tourist spots or museum, such as the Grand Prix Museum, Maritime Museum and Wine Museum.21. Which activity probably interests John, an adventure lover, when he visits Macao?A. Visiting a museum.B. Going Bungee Jumping.C. Marking at the Ruins of St Paul.D. Grabbing a traditional Portuguese dinner.22. What do “Grabbing a traditional Portuguese dinner” and “Visiting a museum” have incommon?A. Taking a selfie in it.B. Finding historical sitesC. Enjoying a breathtaking experience.D. Feeling both eastern and western cultures.23. What can we learn from the text?A. Macao Tower is the world’s highest tower.B. The Portuguese restaurants’ food in Macao is more suitable for Chinese.C. After three big fires, the Church of St Paul was completely destroyed.D. Many historical sites in Macao are not well protected.BIt was the beginning of another school year. I had agreed to teach all struggling students in need of critical intervention(介入). I knew what lay ahead—tough work hours overlaid with guilt, consumed with essays that needed feedback and lesson plans with best practice strategies. NoSuddenly, my mind transported me to my first few years of teaching.“Peter Potter，” I called from my name list, trying to control my laughter. “Laughlin McLaughlin？” Surely these were not real names.“Emotionally disabled...keeps them separated from the other kids...，” the vice headmaster commanded. This was my first teaching assignment.Surely this year could never be as discouraging as those first few. In my new classroom, I looked into the face of Jason. At eleven, his mother was killed in an accident, leaving him with physical, academic, and certainly emotional scars. I looked at another student, Robert, standing at the door; my vice headmaster asked if I would take him, even though he was an eleventh grader inmy tenth grade class.But then there were—and are—stories of success—of Dustin, in Graduate School for Electrical and Computer Engineering; of Michael, now a teacher in a city school; of Willie (I)thought of the thousands of students whose lives have touched mine far more than I could have ever touched theirs.I broke from my daydream, a smile spreading across my face. Sadness, tears, challenges, fears—yes, teaching is filled with all of these—yet, it is also filled with laughter and smiles, hope, dreams, and rewards beyond measure.“I’m glad it’s you and not me.” Those words resounded in my mind onc e again.24. What might the author’s job be like?A. Easy.B. Boring.C. Interesting.D. Challenging.25. What does the underlined sentence imply?A. These people would like to teach.B. These people did not like the author.C. These people would not want this job.D. These people wanted to learn from the author.26. Why did the author mention Jason and Robert?A. To show her regrets about taking up teaching.B. To introduce the basic situation of her students.C. To express her dissatisfaction with the school.D. To stress the importance of family education.27. How did the author feel thinking of the successful students?A. She was doing a worthwhile job.B. She could never go back to the past.C. She was the inspiration behind the success stories.D. She would never make greater achievements in the future.CDarby’s uncle was caught by the “gold fever” in the gold-rush days, and went west to dig and grow rich. After months of labor, he was rewarded by the discovery of the shining ore (矿石). He needed machinery to bring the ore to the surface. So, with the “strike”, he returned home. And with the help of Darby, he borrowed a lot of money. After buying the machinery and having itshipped, Uncle and Darby went back to work the mine.The first car of ore was mined. And the returns proved they had one of the richest mines in Colorado! Down went the drills! Up went the hopes of Uncle and Darby!Then something happened! The vein (矿脉) of gold ore disappeared! They drilled on, but all in vain. Finally, they decided to quit and sold the machinery to a junk man for a few hundred dollars. The junk man called in a mining engineer to look at the mine and do a little calculating. The engineer’s calculations showed that the vein would be found just three feet from where the Darbys had stopped drilling! The junk man took millions of dollars in the vein, because he knew enough to seek expert’s advice before giving up.Most of the money which went into the machinery was borrowed through the efforts of Darby, who was then a very young man. The money came from his relatives because of their faith in him. He paid back every dollar of it, although he was years in doing so.Long afterward, Mr. Darby made another discovery that desire can be changed into gold. This discovery came after he went into the business of selling life insurance. Remembering that he lost a huge fortune, for he stopped three feet from gold, Darby profited by the experience in his chosen work, saying to himself, “I stopped three feet from gold, but I will never stop because men say ‘no’ when I ask them to buy insurance.”Darby sold more than a million dollars in life insurance annually. He owes his “stickability” to the le sson he learned from his “quitability” in the gold mining business.28. Darby’s uncle went back home to ______.A. receive his rewardB. seek financial supportC. look for more helpersD. consult an engineer29. The Darbys failed in mining business because of ______.A. quitting drilling onB. the disappearance of the veinC. the shortage of the machineryD. competing against the junk man30. From the passage, we can know Darby ______.A. was unable to pay off the debtsB. mined his gold from the failureC. learned a lesson from selling insuranceD. devoted himself to making new discoveries31. The author intends to tell us that ______.A. hopes and difficulties exist side by sideB. correct decisions stems from correct judgmentC. we should catch it when an opportunity comesD. we won’t reach our goal unless we insistDWherever we humans go, we leave behind a mess. That goes for space, too. An estimated 500,000 pieces of debris (碎片) litter the Earth’s orbit as a result of man’s explorations of space. Some satellites have been hit by fast-moving pieces of junk. The remains of old rockets can be the size of a bus, while other debris pieces are simply tiny spots of paint.Today, our species is responsible for the junk dashing around Earth at high speeds, and if we don’t start actively removing the largest pieces, the risk of collisions will only grow worse. “Imagine how dangerous sailing the high seas would be, if all the ships ever lost in history were still floating on top of the water.” says Jan Wörner, ESA director general, “That is the current situation in orbit, and it cannot be allowed to continue.”It’s almost as if we need a truck to remove all of failed satellites from our orbit. By 2025, the agency plans on launching the world’s first orbiting junk collector, a four-armed robot that tracks down space waste. The first-of-its-kind task, known as ClearSpace-1, will start collecting only a single piece of space junk to prove the concept works. The target in this case is called Vespa, a leftover from ESA’s Vega rocket launch in 2013. This piece of junk weighs roughly the same as a small satellitle and has a simple shape that should make it easy to grab with four robotic arms. Once it’s safely in the arms of the garbage collector, it will then be dragged out of orbit and allowed to burn up in the atmosphere.In addition, an Australian company, Electro Optic Systems, has received a $ 3.5 million government fund to develop the world’s first laser tracking (激光跟踪) technology. It would replace existing radar (雷达) networks that currently monitor that part of space. The goal is to track small objects with great accuracy.32. Why does Jan Wörner refer to ships on the high seas?A. To explain the danger of space debris.B. To describe the universe’s huge space.C. To praise man’s explorations of space.D. To compare the oceans with the universe.33. Humans plan to handle debris by____________.A. ClearSpace-1 and VespaB. ESA’s Vega rocket launch and radar networksC. the orbiting junk collector and the first laser tracking technologyD. truck to remove all of failed satellites and track small objects34.
