AIt was a cold winter morning and I was waiting in line to see Jack Canfield, one of the authors of the best selling Chicken Soup for the Soul series and the author of The Success Principles. What Jack had become was a version of what I wanted to be.During his presentation, Jack pulled out a one-hundred-dollar bill and asked “Who wants this?” Hands shot up in the audience and many people leaned forward to see who Jack would choose. But I ran up to the stage and grabbed the bill from his hand. He turned to me and said, “Yes, that’s it! Instead of waiting around for opportunities, simply act and create what we want!”After the talk, I asked for his personal e-mail address and sent him e-mails sharing my views and dream. He kindly e-mailed back simple encouragements such as “Keep thinking and playing bigger; it’s much more fun that way.” Then I got occupied with other things in life and I stopped e-mailing Jack.A year later, my dream gradually faded. I had the idea that I would get in touch with Jack again.I e-mailed him several times but got no response. As I sat down at my computer to check my e-mail for the fifth time in 15 minutes, an inspiration came like lighting: what was I doing? Was I waiting for the prize of life? I knew I need to do something about all this waiting. I was going to write a book, which I would call Waiting for Jack.It all sounded good, but then reality hit. Some nights I cried and wanted to give up. Then I wrote and rewrote. Even though I had great difficulty, I did it anyway. Fortunately, three years later, Waiting for Jack turned out a best-seller on Amazon!We all have a “Jack”---whether it’s person, a p lace, a time or some certain thing. Now I would like to ask you: what are you waiting for?21. From the first paragraph we can learn that the author________.A. wanted Jack to autograph her bookB. wanted to be as successful as JackC. wanted to make friends with JackD. wanted to get help from Jack22. It can be inferred form the passage that Jack Canfield is probably a person who________.A. never replies e-mailB. likes showing off his wealthC. seldom takes risksD. enjoys challenges in life23. How did the author lose contact with Jack?A. She and Jack had an argument.B. She once had no time to contact Jack.C. Jack was too proud to get along with.D. She was too upset with her broken dream24. What might be the theme of the book Waiting for Jack?A. The disappointment of waiting for her hero Jack.B. The need to keep waiting for the prize of our life.C. The importance of taking action to achieve a goal.D. The harm of blindly admiring others as heroes.BIf you are looking for a day trip with the family, here’s a list of festivals and fairs happening within a reasonable drive from Charlotte.Hopscotch Music FestivalWhere: Downtown Raleigh(various places)When: Today---SaturdayHighlights: This music festival features performances by more than 175 national and international bands playing in 15 different places, all within walking distance.

Fletcher.CThe Pacific island nation of Nauru used to be a beautiful place. Now it is an ecological disaster area. Nauru’s heartbreaking story could have one good consequence — other countries might learn from its mistakes.For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived the remote island of Nauru, far from western civilization. The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798. He was the British captain of the Hunter, a whaling ship. He called the island Pleasant Island.However, because it was very remote, Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first. The whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and alcohol. These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island. A ten-year civil war started, which reduced the population from 1,400 to 900.Nauru’s real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate (磷酸盐)on the island. In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate, which a very important fertilizer for farming. The company began mining the phosphate.A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip mine. When a company strip-mines, it removes the top layer of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants. Strip mining totally destroys the land. Gradually, the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon.In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world. Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate.Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars. In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses. Soon people realized that they had a terrible problem — their phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing. By 2000, Nauru was financially ruined. Experts say that it would take approximately $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island. This will probably never happen.28. What might be the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To seek help for Nauru’s problems.B. To give a warning to other countriesC. To show the importance of moneyD. To tell a heartbreaking story of a war.29. The ecological disaster in Nauru resulted from _______.A. soil pollutionB. phosphate overminingC. farming activityD. whale hunting30. Which of the following was a cause of Nauru’s financial problem?A. Its leaders misused the moneyB. It spent too much repairing the islandC. Its phosphate mining cost much moneyD. It lost millions of dollars in the civil war.31. What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph?A. The ecological damage is difficult to repair.B. The leaders will take the exp erts’ words seriously.C. The island was abandoned by the NauruansD. The phosphate mines were destroyedDI suppose that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention. And especially if it’s given from the heart. When people are talking, there’s no need to do anything but receive them. Listen to what they’re saying.Care about it. Most times caring about it is even more important than understanding it. Most of us don’t value ourselves or our love enough to know this.It has taken me a long time to believe in the power of simple saying “I’m so sorry,” when someone is in pain.One of my patients told me that when she tried to tell her story people often interrupted to tell her that they once had something just like that happening to them. Her pain became a story about themselves. Eventually she stopped talking to most people. We connect through listening. When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand，we move the focus of attention to ourselves. When we listen, they know we care.I have even learned to respond to someone crying by just listening. In the old days I used to reach for the handkerchiefs, until I realized that passing a person a handkerchief may be just another way to shut him down，to take them out of their experience of sadness. Now I just listen. When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there with them.This simple thing has not been that easy to learn. It certainly went against everything I had been taught since I was very young. I thought people listened only because they were too shy to speak or did not know the answer. But now I know that a loving silence often has far more power to heal than the kindest words.32. What does the author value most in the communication with each other?A. Deep understanding.B. Saying “I’m sorry”．C. Attention from heart.D. Doing nothing.33. The woman patient stopped telling her story to most people because________.A. she didn’t get enough respect from othersB. she was discouraged by being often interruptedC. people often told her their own opinionsD. people couldn’t understand her sad situation34. If you hand a handkerchief to someone crying，you may________.A. hurt his feelingsB. make him embarrassedC. encourage him to continue to cryD. stop him from letting out his sorrow35. It can be inferred from the passage that while communicating，________.A. listening is a perfect way to respond to othersB. people keep silent because they don’t know the answerC. keeping silent means being too shy to speakD. it is easy to form the habit of listening silently第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

On arrival at the campus, I was expecting to be met by some tired students (as was practiced in my secondary school), ( 31 ) every student around was new like myself.

In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept into the area. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew i t, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn’t have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute.Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all of the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put. The first thing he did was to find shelter from the freezing wind and snow. If he didn’t,his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him.Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn’t lose too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he could—he huddled (蜷缩) in his cave and slept.The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldn’t find anyone. He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave, because without shelter, he could die that night. On Tuesday, Nicholas went out again to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. After two days stuck in the snow, Nicholas was saved.Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV.

As it was a present, I spent twice its worth in advertising, but didn’t get it back.”“How did you write your advertisement?” asked one of the listeners, a merchant.“Here it is,” said the man, taking out of his pocket a slip cut from a newspaper. The other man took it and read, “Lost from the City Church last Sunday evening a black silk umbrella. The gentleman who finds it will receive ten shillings on leaving it at No 10 Broad Street.”“Now,” said the merchant, “I often advertise, and find that it pays me well. But the way in which an advertisement is expressed is of extreme importance. Let us try your umbrella again, and if it fails, I will buy you a new one.”The merchant then took a slip of paper out of his pocket and wrote: “If the man who was seen to take an umbrella from the City Church last Sunday evening doesn’t wish to get into trouble, he will return the umbrella to No. 10 Broad Street. He is well known.”This appeared in the paper, and on the following morning, the man was astonished when he opened the front door. In the doorway lay at least twelve umbrellas of all sizes and colors that had been thrown in and his own was among the number. Many ofthem had notes fastened to them saying that they had been taken by mistake, and begging the loser not to say anything about the matter.55.According to the first advertisement, who would receive ten shillings?A.The one left the umbrella at No. 10 Broad Street.B.The one left the umbrella in the City Church.C.The one found the umbrella at No. 10 Broad Street.D.The one gave the message to the man.56.The result of the first advertisement was that ________.A.the man got his umbrella backB.the man found his umbrell aC.the man found his umbrellaD.the man wasted some money advertising57.“If it fails, I will buy you a new one” suggested that _______.A.he was rich enough to afford an umbrellaB.he was not sure he would get the umbrella backC.he was ready to help othersD.he was quite sure of his success58.This is a story about ________.A.how to make an effective advertisementB.how a man lost and found his umbrellaC.how to find lost thingsD.how to put an advertisement in the newspaperCThere once was a little boy who wanted to meet the king. He set off, walking towards the king’s castle. After many years of walking, the king’s castl e came into his view. However, as the boy drew closer to the outside of the castle, the guards noticed him.“Get out of here!” or dered the guards. Well, the little boy didn’t have to be told twice. He turned…and ran. All he wanted to do was tell the king w onderfulthings, and see all the beautiful things in the king’s house. But he couldn’t even get near the castle! The boy finally stopped running, sat down and cried.A young man happened to be coming down the path at the very moment. He saw the little boy and stopped. “What’s wrong, young man?” he asked.“Sir, I walked and walked just to see the king. But these guards made me scared. I wanted to tell the king how lovely everything is and just tell the king that I just wanted to see him!”The man look ed at the little boy thoughtfully. “Look, why don’t you try again. I’ll come with you this time.”The little boy got up and took the man’s hand. The king’s guards spotted them.Look, mister, we don’t have to do this…I don’t want you to get hurt. We can just turn around now.”The man held the little boy’s hand and went on. The boy really thought the man might be crazy until he looked back up at the guards. They were all smiling now. The little boy was amazed.“Who are you?” asked the little boy in astonishment.“Why, I’m the king’s son. You can enter the castle and be with the king.” said the man. The little boy broke into a huge smile.59.Why did the boy want to see the king?A.To get some help from the king.B.To share wonderful things with the king.C.To invite the king to visit his beautiful village.D.To ask the king to play with him.60.What does the underlined sentence in the paragraph mean?A.The little boy understood the guards’ words immediately.B.The guards repeated the words to the boy.C.The little boy had been to the castle twice.D.The little boy didn’t understand the guards’ words at first.61.Which of the following best suits the story’s lesson for us?A.Never judge a book by its cover.B.Life can sometimes be unfair.C.Anything is possible if one tries hard enough.D.Make new friends and keep the old.DWhen I was 8 years old, I decided to run away from home after a quarrel with my mother. With my suitcase packed and some sandwiches in a bag, I started for the front door.My mom asked where I was going. “I’m leaving home,” I said.“What’s that you’re carrying?” she asked.“Some clothes and food,” I replied.“If you want to run away, that’s all right,” she said. “But you came into this home without anything and you can leave the same way.”I threw my suitcase and sandwiches on the floor and started for the door again.“Wait a minute,” Mom said. “You didn’t have any clothes on when you arrived, and I want them back.”This infuriated me. I tore my clothes off — shoes, socks, underwear and all —and shouted, “Can I go now?”“Yes,” my mom answered, “but once you close that door, don’t expect to come back.”I was so angry that I shut the door forcefully and stepped out of my home. Then I noticed down the street two neighbor girls walking toward our house. I was so shy that I saw the big spruce (云杉) tree in our yard and jumped under the low-hanging branches (树枝). A pile of dried-up brown needles (针状物) were beneath the tree, and you can’t imagine the pain those sharp needles caused t o my body.After I was sure the girls had passed by, I ran to the front door and knocked at it loudly.“It’s Billy! Let me in!”The voice behind the door answered, “Billy doesn’t live here anymore. He ran away from home.”Looking behind me to see if any one else was coming down the street, I said, “Mom! I’m sorry. I’m still your son. Let me in!”The door opened and Mom’s smiling face appeared. “Did you change your mind about running away?” she asked.“What’s for supper?” I smiled back.62.When the author was leaving home, his mother ordered him to _____.A.stay at homeB.take some sandwichesC.leave everything behindD.check his suitcase carefully63.Which of the following can best describe the author’s mom?A.Selfish and proud.B.Strict but loving.C.Kind and helpful.D.Wise but impatient.64.The underlined word “infuriated” probably means “_____”.A.surprisedB.warnedC.encouragedD.angered65.Why did the author jump under the low-hanging branches?A.To avoid being seen.B.To find some needles.C.To play a joke on the two girls.D.To attract the two girls’ attention.66.The last sentence “What’s for supper?” ma inly shows that the author _____.A.felt very hungry at that timeB.changed his plan to leave homeC.wished to eat something before leavingD.wanted to know what his mother prepared for supperEFarah was sitting in the kitchen going over the party list with her mother. The exams were over and Farah wanted to invite her friends for a party. “Farah，aren’t you going to invite Hafsa？”her mother asked. Hafsa had been her best friend since childhood.“Mother，you know I am now a part of Purple Girls Club and we have some rules about people we can be friends with，”Farah answered. “Really？And what are the rules？”her mother asked. “Well，only very pretty girls can be part of our group.And Hafsa is so...you know...dark.” “I cannot believe it，”her mother said angrily.As Farah left the kitchen，her father called her from the living room. Farah went t o her father and paled when she saw the exam report in his hands. “Farah，what has happened to your grades？You have failed in Mathematics，”her father said. Farah had no answer. The truth was that the activities of Purple Girls Club left her with very little time for studies.“Farah，it says that you can take part in supplementary exams(补考).If your grades don’t improve then，I’ll cancel(取消) your trip to Spain.”Farah went to her room and called Gina，the leader of Purple Girls Club，“Gina，can you help me to complete my notes before the exams？” Gina laughed，“Exams？Who cares about exams？” One by one，she called her friends in the club but no one seemed to care or wanted to help.Farah knew Hafsa would help her.

There are quite a few things that are not done, or that do not exist on the island - quite a few "No's".There is no pollution, for instance. No dogs are permitted in Reykjavik, the capital. There is no television on Thursdays or during the entire month of July, and only three hours of black-and-white TV the rest of the time. There is no hard liquor on Wednesdays and no beer at any time. There are no handguns; only one jail of thirty-five cells（牢房）in the entire land ----an admirable figure, even for a small country of 313,376 people.There is no army, air force or navy. There is no tipping for anything. There are no large stores open on Saturdays or Sundays. Since Iceland is situated just under the Arctic Circle, there is no darkness in summer and do daylight in winter. But thanks to Gulf Stream, the climate is rather mild, with temperatures ranging from 34 degrees Fahrenheit to 52 degrees in July.The rules on television, liquor, and guns are the result of governmental decision. But the absence of pollution is due in great part to the fact that Iceland gets its power from the enormous(巨大的) geyser（间歇泉）and the thousands of hot springs that come out of the ground. They provide all the energy needed by the country. In fact, Iceland uses only 3 percent ofall its available power.Iceland has been described as a democratic (民主的) independent country where more fish are caught and more books published per person than anywhere else in the world. The Icelanders have always felt a particular love for literature. They composed their first works in the ninth and tenth centuries AD. These works were poems and tales about the kings, heroes, and heroines of Iceland and Norway. At first the stories were memorized and passed from generation to generation. The Icelanders have never stopped writing ever since. “Rather shoeless than bookless," they proudly say.21.American visitors enjoy visiting Iceland probably because .A．no dogs are permitted in the capital B．the police do not carry handgunsC．it is very different from America D．the climate is rather mild.22.The following statements are true EXCEPT .A．there are no soldiers in Iceland B．the Icelanders don't drink beerC．there is no service fee of any kind D．there are no crimes in Iceland23.There is no pollution in Iceland mainly because .A．Iceland uses only 3 percent of all its available powerB．the Icelanders use hot water from the ground below as their energyC．it is located just under the Arctic CircleD．it is a democratic independent country24."Rather shoeless than bookless" means .A．they regard books more important than shoes.B．they would rather have shoes on than write booksC．they prefer traveling to readingD．they prefer not to have shoes or booksBI was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note-“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to out house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch （门廊）. Every so often my son’s friends will ask what it is.So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.25. Mr Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer____.A. to show his magical power.B. to pay for the deliveryC. to satisfy his curiosity.D. to please his mother.26. What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the k ey to the boy’s house?A. He wanted to have tea there.B .He was fully trusted by the family.C. He was treated as a family member.D. He was a respectable person27. Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?A. It has been driven out of the market.B. Nobody wants to be a milkman now.C. Its service is getting poor.D. It is forbidden by law.28. Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?A. He planted flowers in it.B. He wanted to tell interesting stories.C. He missed it for his milk bottles.D. He missed the good old days.CLess than 60 percent of students now entering four-year American colleges are likely to graduate. The completion rate is lower for almost any other wealthy country, and worst for poor and minority students.On Tuesday President Obama gave a nationally broadcast speech to students about the importance of staying in school. He spoke on the first day of classes at a high school in Virginia. He talked about personal responsibility, and used himself as an example of someone who overcame difficulties.“My father left my family when I was two years old, and I was raised by a single mother who had to work and struggled a t times to pay the bills and wasn’t always able to give me things other kids had. There were times when I missed having a father in my life. There were times when I was lonely and felt like I didn’t fit in,” said President Obama.But he told students that problems in their own lives should not stop them from learning. “There’s no excuse for talking back to your teacher, or cutting class or dropping out of school. There’s no excuse for not trying.”This was not the first presidential speech to students. Ronald Reagan spoke from the White House in 1998 and George H. W. Bush spoke from a school in Washington in 1991．But many conservatives criticized plans for the speech. Some called it “socialized education” or federal interference in local schools. Others feared it would be too political. Some schools decided not to show the speech. But the White House released the text on Monday, and that calmed a lot of critics.On Sunday, on the CBS program “Face the Nation”, Education Secretary Arne Duncan said, “30 percent of students do not graduate from our school”. He called the dropout rate “staggering”(惊人的). It represents more than a million students every year who entered ninth grade but did not complete 12th grade.29. President Obama gave a nationally broadcast speech on Tuesday to ________.A．encourage students to drop out when they dislike studiesB．criticize the students who talked back to their parentsC．tell the students how he struggled to go to school in his childhoodD．persuade students to stick to schooling even if they have problems30. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A．Obama’s mother left him when he was two years old.B．George H．W. Bush spoke to students in 1998．C．Some people considered Obama’s speech to be too political.D．The White House decided not to release the text on Monday.31. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A．there is 40 percent of dropout in high schoolB．not all the people support the president’s speechC．the dropout rate of American schools is lowD．only one million students can finish 12th grade each year32. The best title of the passage can be “________”.A. Obama Encourages Students to Carry on StudiesB. Amazing Dropout Rate of the USC. Obama’s Speech Met CriticismD. Obama’s Hard ChildhoodDLast year, I was on a plane with my friend, waiting for it to take off. The pilot’s voice was heard throughout the plane: “Sorry for the delay, ladies and gentlemen. Our engines don’t work. We are going to jump-start them. Once we get them going, we’ll get up in the air and see what happens.”That was all he said. “See what happens?” Shouldn’t we have had a better plan than that? At that point. I could only laugh nervously. One woman started crying, “Oh no! We are going to crash!’’ There were sighs of hopelessness and anxiety, and we hadn’t even taken off yet.The pilot even seemed unhappy. He told us our one engine was working double time, and his plan was to get up in the air and see what happens! Then we did. We got up in the air, and what happened? Nothing. We arrived in Norfolk, and no sooner had the wheels touched down than applause burst out as everyone on the airplane breathed a sigh of relief.All too often, people stop trying to achieve their goals just because they don’t have a guaranteed (有保证的) result. But success will never be guaranteed. The best thing that you can do is just get up in the air, and see what happens. While I do prefer planni ng better than “see what happens” when it comes to flying, it really isn’t such a bad idea for life.If your effort is to build a business then get up in the air and see what happens! Don’t give yourself all the reasons why you can’t. Do not wait until you have everything you need. You never will!If your goal is to start a friendship, say “Hello”, get up in the air and see what happens! The results could be very rewarding. If your goal is to learn a new skill, get up in the air and see what happens! It might not be as difficult as your think. It could be fun!33. How did the author feel when the pilot said the engines didn’t work?A. Relieved.B.Disappointed.C. Curious.D. Anxious.34. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means .A. to think carefully before you make friendsB. to start to fly first to see what will happen in the skyC. to make an effort even if the result is uncertainD. to get up from the chair and greet somebody35. What can be the best title for the passage?A. We Will See What HappensB. I Survived an Adventurous FlightC. The Pilot Risked Our LivesD. Making Plans Is Better Than Taking Chances第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
