Through her work, she observed that successful people spent a lot more time reading than they did watching television. She announced that my brother and I could only watch two to three pre-selected TV programs during the week. With our free time, we had to read two books each from the Detroit Public Library and write book reports. She would mark them up with check marks. Years later we realized her marks were a ruse. My mother had only received a third-grade education. Although we had no money, between the covers of those books, I could go anywhere, do anything and be anybody.When I entered high school, I was an A-student, but not for long.I wanted the fancy clothes. I wanted to hang out with the guys. I went form being an A- student to a B- student to a C-student, but I didn’t care.One night my mother came home and I complained about not having enough shirts. She said, “Okay, I’ll give you all the money I make this week cleaning floors and bathrooms, and you can buy the family food and paythe bills. With everything left over, you can have all the shirts you want.”I was very pleased with that arrangement but once I got through allocating(分配) money, there was nothing left. I realized my mother was a financial genius to be able to keep a roof over our heads and any kind of food on the table, much less buy clothes.I also realized that immediate satisfaction wasn’t going to get me anywhere. Success required intellectual(理智的) preparation. I went back to my studies and became an A-student again. I dreamed of becoming a doctor when I was just a kid. And now I have achieved my dream.Over the years my mother’s changeless faith in God has inspired me, particularly when I found myself faced with my own medical illness. A few years ago I discovered I had a very serious cancer; I was told it might have spread to my spine(脊柱). My mother believed in God very much. She never worried. She said that God would never throw me away forever; there was no way that this was going to be a major problem. The abnormality in spine turned out to be not bad; I was able to have surgery and am cured.My story is really my mother’s story －a woman little formal education or worldly goods who used her position as a parent to change the lives of her children.24. The underlined word “ruse” in the first paragraph probably means .A. discoveryB. successC. trickD. pleasure25. When the author asked his mother to buy him shirts, she .A. advised him to earn money by himselfB. asked him to try to manage their moneyC. persuaded him not to buy them patientlyD. agreed to buy them for him immediately26. What do we learn about the author?A. He now works as a doctor.B. He disliked watching TV as a kid.C. He received little formal education.D. He often did housework when young.27. In writing the passage, the author mainly shows us .A. the happy relationships in his familyB. the benefits of reading for young childrenC. the importance of formal education for adultsD. his mother’s great influence on his developmentCThe American book Who Moved My Cheese（奶酪）has been a bestseller all over the world. It teaches people how to face changes in their lives. Now its author Spence Johnson has written a book just for teens. The book tells us that when facing change in our lives, like a new school or new friends, don’t be afraid. Instead, use this change to make a better life.The book gives an example of a change at school. A school is changing from having two terms to three terms because there are too many students.Several teens are talking about this. Most of them are unhappy and worried. But Chris is not. He laughs and tells a story about two mice, two “little people” and some cheese.The four are in a maze looking for the cheese. Here, cheese means something important in life, like moving to a new class or getting into college. But they find the cheese is gone. The mice realize that they can’t change what has happened and have to find more cheese. This means finding different dreams. The little people, however, can’t do this. They are afraid of change so they find no cheese.After Chris finishes the story, the friends understand one thing: to get more cheese, move in a new direction quickly. His friends understand how this can be used in the changes all teens face, such as doing well at school or having good relationships or just feeling good about yourself.28.The book Who Moved My Cheese is _________.A. written all over the worldB. read across the worldC. sold only in AmericaD. loved only by teens29. What does the text mainly discuss?A. Never change in our lifeB. Change when you like to doC. Change with the changesD. Pay attention to the changes30. The underlined word “four”（paragraph 3）refers to ______.A. Mice and little peopleB. studentsC. CheeseD. Readers31. In our lives, we should learn from _________.A. miceB. little peopleC. ChrisD. Spence JohnsonBThe quality of citizens, the progress of culture, the prosperity ofa country, and the advancement of social affairs are all determined by education. The persons who are responsible for achieving this greattarget are teachers who are being described as “the architect of humanspirit”.It is, by no means, an over-statement that teaching profession isthe noblest profession. However, what is shocking is that teachers arelosing their status day by day in today’s society. Nowadays, only thosewho cannot find a job elsewhere have no other choice but to be teachers.As far as I can remember, when we were students, we had to greet our teachers whenever and wherever we met them. Teachers were trusted byparents and society and were regarded almost as saints(圣人). Nevertheless, in a s hort span of a decade, these “privileges (特权)”seem to have disappeared like bubbles. Some students treat their teachersas strangers the moment they leave the classroom.The reasons why teachers’ status is low in the present society are complex (复杂的). No matter how “sacred” a profession is, there are certainly some black sheep in it. They are the ones who have spoilt the good reputation of teachers.Another reason is that Eastern traditional virtues and manners are being destroyed. Thus, students no longer pay great respect to their teachers.It could also be due to the little chance of promotion that teaching profession offers. This directly affects the quality of teachers. In the eyes of the public, teachers are those who graduated with average or even poor results while those who came out with flying colors are always unwilling to teach.Teachers’ status has some connection with the success of education and education has much to do with the future of the nation and individuals. Therefore, it is our imm ediate task to upgrade the teachers’ status.32. In this passage the author mainly talks about ______.A. teachers’ qualityB. teachers’ educationC. teachers’ reputationD. teachers’ status33. How many reasons are mentioned for the falling of teachers’ status in the passage?A. Three.B. Four.C. Five.D. Six.34. The underlined part “come out with flying colors” in the last butone paragraph probably means _______.A. prefer color paintingB. change jobs oftenC. graduate with honorsD. have high intelligence35. In the author’s opinion, _______.A. none of teachers should be respected by students and their parentsB. it is “the black sheep” of the teachers that have spoilt teachers’ good re putationC. students don’t need to gain knowledge from their teachersD. people should pay no attention to the teachers’ status being low 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。
