She suffered from learning disabilities ever since her birth because of her mother’s poor health.School was difficult for Susan and she was bullied because of her different behaviors. Her siblings, who were much older, had life experiences that were unknown to their little sister. From the time of her birth, Susan was a screamer. The only really safe place that she would use as a repeat was her bedroom. There she would hang posters of her musical idols on the wall and sing popular music into a hairbrush that she pretended was a microphone.One by one the siblings moved away from home and then Susan’s father died. This left her alone with an aging mother and a cat. The siblings accused her mother of not expecting more out of Susan. She had seen many professionals and remembered hearing the word “borderline” but didn’t know what it meant. She tried volunteer work. Her best state of mind, however, was found when she was singing and so she would regularly join others in karaoke or pubs where she could show her skills and receive appreciation from the crowd.When Susan announced at Christmas that she was planning to compete in the Britain’s Got Talent contest, her siblings tried to discourage her. It was a wonder that she was even able to do the audition considering the troubles she faced just physically getting to the right place.“The Woman I Was Born to Be” is a beautiful story written in the simple but humorous voice of the author, Susan Boyle. She tells her story from birth to the present in an interesting and educational manner. The writing is supplemented by photos from her albums.I love this book! In fact, I read the whole thing in one day!There is something in the stories that not only teaches the reader but also inspires us to reach for our dreams — no matter how impossible they may seem to be!36. This passage should be _____.A. a news reportB. a biographyC. an introductionD. a book review37. When Susan was young, _____.A. her mother died of an illnessB. she was fond of musicC. her siblings liked her very muchD. she was envied at school38. According to the passage, which was NOT true?A. Susan tried doing a lot of volunteer work.B. Susan’s mother expected too much out of her.C. Susan’s siblings tried to stop her from competing in the Britain’s Got Talent contest.D. Susan’s performances were well received by the customers in pubs.39. What does the author think of Susan Boyle？Ks5uA. Pitiful and selfless.B. Shy and passive.C. Determined and inspiring.D. Great and generous.BShopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. He knows what he wants, and his purpose is to find it and buy it, the price is a less important consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it, the salesman immediately produces it, and the business of trying it on is done at once. All being well, the bargain can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone’s satisfaction.For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants. Then the salesman tries to sell the customer something else-he offers the nearest he can to the thing required. He usually says, “I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it on for size? It happens to be the color yo u wanted. ”Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual reply is: “This is the right colour and may be the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on. ”Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? She does so in the opposite way. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only “having a look round”. She is always open to persuasion, indeed she considers of great importance what the saleswoman tells her, even what her friends tell her. She will try on any number of things. Highest in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always trying to find an unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one counter to another before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It takes a great deal of time but gives great joy. Most dress shops supply chairs for the waiting husbands.40. When a man is buying clothes, he ______.A. puts price before qualityB. chooses things that others think suitable for himC. does not mind much the price he has to pay for the right thingsD. buys good quality things, so long as they do not cost too much41. From the passage, we know that in shopping for a jacket ______.A. men like their jackets to be bigger than their sizeB. most men can tell whether it is the right size for themC. men make sure it fits them before buying itD. men don’t worry whether the clothes fit well or not so long as it is the right colour42. When a man cannot get what he wants, he ______.A. buys something of the same colour in a slightly different styleB. usually does not buy anythingC. will try on some other clothes of the same styleD. wastes time in buying something else43. What does the passage tell us about women shoppers for clothes?A. They welcome suggestions from anyone.B. Women seldom consider buying cheap clothes.C. Women often buy things without thinking.D. They listen to advice but never take it.44. The most obvious difference between men and women shoppers is ______.A. that men do not try clothes on in a shop while women doB. that women bargain for their clothes and men don’tC. that women do their shopping standing up but men do theirs sitting downD. the time they take over buying clothesCWhen Johnny Cash sings, people listen. His big, deep voice rumbles out of radios and juke-boxes across North America. His records sell by the million. Country-music fans everywhere, know his big hits. They love songs like "Hey Porter", "Ring of Fire", and "Folsom Prison Blue".Johnny Cash sings about a hundred concerts a year. People like what they hea r—and what they see, too. Rugged and big-shouldered, the singer stands six-two without his black boots on. He's a two-hundred-pound package of muscle and talent. And that scar on his cheek? It's a bullet hole, of course!In the minds of most people, Johnny Cash is "Mr Tough Guy". He's an ex-drug addict who was once put in prison. His grandmother was an Indian. To keep from starving he once had to live on wild rabbits killed from forty feet away with a knife. Some people say he even killed a man.In fact, most of the Johnny Cash story is just that—a story. True, years ago he had a "drug habit "for a short time. He "popped" pills. But he never used heroin or other "hard "drugs. Sometimes he'd go wild and get locked up for a few hours. But he never served a prison sentence.There's no Indian blood in his veins. He's been a killer only in song. As for the "bullet hole", it's an old scar left by a doctor who opened a cyst(囊肿).People who know Johnny Cash well say he's a "gentle guy", a "generous guy"—anything but a "tough guy". How did the stories get started? Some of them, like the story about the "Indian grandmother", he made up long ago to add excitement to his career. Others, like the "bullet hole", simply got started. Now there's little the singer can do to change people's minds. "They just want to believe it," he says.45. In truth, Johnny Cash . .A. invented the "Indian grandmother"B. used to kill rabbits for a livingC. had a bullet hole on his cheekD. served a long prison sentence46. In his private life, Johnny Cash is . .A. much wilder than he looksB. much smaller than he is on stageC. much tougher than he is in publicD. much more gentle than most people suppose47. The passage shows us that many people believe .A. only what they seeB. what they are sure is trueC. only what they hearD. what they find interestingDFor many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is aboutboundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it . From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonable ness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way , except oppositely . Both feel trapped.In this article, I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming, the goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right, It doesn’t matter what the topic is—politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg –the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority—someone who actually knows something—and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.48. Why does the author compare the parent—teen war to a border conflict?A. both can continue for generations.B. Both are about where to draw the lineC. Neither has any clear winnerD. Neither can be put to an end49. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?A. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.B. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflictC. The teens accuse their parents of misleading themD. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents50. Parents and teens want to be right because they want to ________.A. give orders to the otherB. know more than the otherC. gain respect from the other D .get the other to behave properlyELife free to soarOne windy spring day, I observed young people having fun flying their kites. The colorful creations of varied shapes and sizes filled the sky like beautiful birds dancing. __51__ Instead of blowing off, they rose against it to achieve great heights. They shook and pulled, but the strings and the tails kept them in tow, facing upward and against the wind. As the kites struggled and trembled against the strings, they seemed to say, “Let me go! Let me go! I want to be free!”They soared beautifully as they fought the restrictions of the strings.__52__.“Free at last,”it seemed to say. “Free to fly with the wind.”Yet freedom from restrictions simply put it at the mercy of the wind. __53__.It lay powerless in the dirt, blew helplessly along the ground, and stayed lifeless against the first obstruction（障碍物）.__54__.The heaven gives us misfortunes, restrictions, and rules to follow, from which we can grow and gain strength. Restrictions are a necessary counterpart（相对应之物）to the winds of opposition. __55__. Let us each rise to great heights, recognizing that some restrictions that wemay face are actually the steady force that helps us succeed and achieve.A. Finally, one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose.B. As the strong wind blew against the kites, the strings kept them in check.C. We should soar in the sky freely.D. Some people are against the rules so hard that they never achieve their goals.E. We are sometimes like kites.F. The kites like to fly in the charge of the strings.G. It fell to the ground and landed in a mass of weeds.IV. 短文改错（共10小题；第小题1分，满分10分）假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌的以下作文。

Many studies have looked for a connecti on between sex and the amount of mental decline people experience as they age, but the results have been mixed. Some studies found more age-related decline in men than in women, while others saw the opposite or even no relationship at all between sex and mental decline.Those results could be improper because the studies involved older people, and women live longer than men: The men tested are the survivors, “so they’re the ones that maynot have shown such cognitive(认知的) decline,” said study team leader El izabeth of the University of Warwick in England.Scientists surveyed completed four tasks that tested sex-related cognitive skills: matching an object to its rotated form, matching lines shown from the same angle, typing as many words in a particular categ ory as possible in the given time, e.g. “object usually colored gray”, and recalling the location of objects in a line drawing. The first two were tasks at which men are usually good; the latter are typically dominated by women.

While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal, eggs and toast. Others had cokes and candy for lunch, while we had to eat a sandwich. As you can guess, my supper was different than the other kids’. But atleast I was not alone in my suffering. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.My mother insisted on knowing where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and what we were doing. We had to wear clean clothes every day. Other kids always wore their clothes for days. We reached the height of disgrace because she made our clothes herself, just to save money.The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by 9:00 each night and up at 7:45 the next morning. So while my friends slept, my mother actually had the courage to break Child Labor Law. She made us work. I believed she lay awake all night thinking up mean things to do to us. Through the years, our friends’ report cards had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing. My mother, however, would merely be content with black marks. None of us was allowed the pleasure of being a dropout.She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. Using this as a background, I’m now trying to bring up my three children. I’m filled with pride when my children think I am mean because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the world.【小题1】Which of the following things did the writer hate to do most?A．Eating differently from other kids.B．Wearing clean clothes made by motherC．Going to bed early and getting up earlyD．Letting mother know where they were【小题2】It can be inferred from the passage that____________.A．the writer worked hard and usually got good grades in studiesB．mother was punished for breaking the Labor LawC．all the other kids studied better than the writerD．the writer’s family lived a miserable life【小题3】Which of the following statements is Not true according to the passage ?

At least we have gained ______ experience for future success.A．the; aB．a; /C．a; anD．the; the12.Saying “thank you” is probably the first thing most of us learn to do in a foreign language. After all, we’re brought up to be polite, and it is important to make a good impression upon other people — especially across national divides.So, what exactly are you supposed to say when “thank you” is only the 20th most popular way to express gratitude? According to a recent survey, 19 other ways ofexp ressing appreciation finished ahead of “thank you” in a poll of 3,000 people. Pollsters(民测调查员) found almost half of those asked preferred the more informal “cheers”, while others liked to use such expressions as “ta”, “great” and “nice one”. So, just what is the appropriate form of words to express your thanks? Fortunately, the clue is in the language itself. “Cheers”, despite its popularity, is considered an informal way to say thank you — and this is a definite clue as to when you can best use it.For ins tance, when going for a drink with friends, a smile and a “cheers” by way of thanks is not only appropriate to the situation, it is also culturally accurate. “Ta”, originated from the Danish word “tak”, was the second-most popular expression of thanks, and is also commonly used in informal situations, along with phrases such as “nice one”, and “brilliant”. Interestingly, one word that didn’t make it into the top 20 was “thanks”, Thank you is shorter, more informal cousin.“Thanks” can be useful, as it is ab le to bridge the divide between the formality of “thank you” and the downright relaxed “cheers”.Certain words can double as an expression of thanks as well as delight. Again, the words themselves offer the clue as to when best to use them.For example, wo rds like “awesome”, “brilliant” and “you star” featured highly in the new poll and they can hint at both your pleasure at someone’s action, as well as serving to express your thanks. If you are on the receiving end of a “new” thank you, you can respond wit h a simple “no problem”, or “sure”.Of course, in certain circumstances, a simple wave, nod or smile may be appropriate. For instance, if a car driver slows down to let you cross the road, simply raising your hand in acknowledgement is enough to show that you appreciate the driver’s consideration.Sometimes, formality is necessary, and “thank you” is still the best choice in such situations. But students should not worry about when exactly to use certain expressions. Many people in Western countries are worried that good manners are in decline. People are tired of seeing their acts of kindness and service pass without comment. So don’t think your “thank you” is clumsy or awkwardly formal. The chances are, if you said “thank you”, you made someone’s day. You star.【小题1】We can tell from the results of the poll that __________.A．people are unconcerned about politeness nowadays.B．“thank you” remains the best expression of gratitude.C．there is a variety of expressions of appreciation.D．there are more formal expressions than informal ones.【小题2】According to the passage, which is an appropriate response to “awesome” or “brilliant”?A．Thanks.B．Sure.C．Nice one.D．Cheers. .【小题3】In the last paragraph the author encourages people to .A．show their gratitude to others.B．behave themselves well.C．continue their acts of kindness.D．stop worrying about bad manners.【小题4】Which of the following can serve as the best title of this passage? A．How to Appear More Polite .B．Ways to Show Gratitude.C．Never hesitate to Say “Thank You”.D．Good Manners in Decline!13.____ you ask many different questions will you acquire all the information you need to know．A．If onlyB．As far asC．So long asD．Only if14.As I know, there is _____ car in this neighborhood.A．no suchB．no aC．not suchD．no such a15.Tattoos and body piercings（穿孔）have moved up on the trend list in recent years. Around Western schools lots of teens are sporting new holes and “flesh ink”（纹身）. As with all other subjects, the Chinese will surely have to deal with this situation with respect to their children. To get a better view of what has happened in the West, 1et’s sit down and hear what they say.Tiara from Indiana：I personally think body piercing is sickening. If there were supposed to be holes in your body，you would have been born with them. I do，however，think that ear piercing is not wrong. There is a difference between ear piercing and belly button piercing. Earpiercing is not nearly as dangerous. I would be sick if someone stuck a needle in my belly button.Lee from Illinois:Hi! I live in Illinois. I am 23. I have 12 tattoos and three piercings. I love my tattoos and consider myself an art collector. You would be surprised at who has given me the thumbs up on my art work. People on the street stop me to look at the tattoo on my leg. Most of them don’t know what it is. They just think the work itself is great.Subotai from California:I’m not forbidden of self-expression，but when I see high school students getting these piercings, I really wonder. In some cases, the drive is deeper and darker than mere fashion. A friend of mine tried piercing her own tongue with a safety pin. It got infected and she had a tongue the size o f a cow’s.Jackson from Ohio:I don’t think it is wrong, but when people do it all over the place like their face and everything—I think that’s ridiculous. People who get the big “dragons that cover the whole body—I don’t think that’s necessary.” When I see naked chicks on guys, I thin k, “You have no respect for women.”【小题1】Who doesn’t think tattoos and piercings except ear piercing are beautiful？A．JacksonB．LeeC．TiaraD．Subotai【小题2】We can conclude that .A．tattoos and piercings are a new kind of elegant artB．all the teachers in the West are in favour of tattoos and piercings C．everything is changeable as time goes onD．it is necessary to live with different views of beauty【小题3】The best title for this passage is probably .A．Body Art or Causing DamageB．Doing Damage to the Young People’s BodiesC．Young People’s Different CuriositiesD．The Latest Fashion16.________， the car stopped all at once.A．Seeing a boy lying on the groundB．On seeing a boy sitting on the roadC．The driver saw a boy standing on the roadD．The minute the driver saw a boy seated on the road17.My wife ______the night shift when my plane ______.

Like many graduates, I was clueless which 16 to take when I left university, so I took a couple of gap years traveling around North America. After traveling , I returned home and 17 in a restaurant where I was offered an assistant manager role. 18 the offer was appealing, it occurred to me that if I didn't start inspiring my enthusiasm, soon I would find myself relying on a(n) 19 wage and stuck in a career routine.At this time, in 2002, the digital industry was booming in the UK, and after looking into this area 20 , I realized I was very interested in 21 a career in web development. The main question was: "where do I start?" I had very little 22 knowledge or indeed skills in web development, and I couldn't get a job without the experience and skills 23 my belt. So, I put everything I had into learning more and finding a job in web-designing industry. I 24 my resume by post to every digital agency within 100 miles — making it clear I was 25 to work without pay if I could gain experience. This brought a few 26 ，but nothing which 27 my career ambitions or me.Having 28 to find myself a training position within a company, I realized that if I wanted to get into this industry I would need to 29 my own opportunities. So, I asked a friend who owned a pub if I could create a website for him. I even asked for a small upfront payment which 30 me to complete the site quickly and to the 31 standard. It proved to be a great website, and a good investment for my friend, as it attracted new customers. Eventually, I 32 a local web development agency — which had already turned me down twice! — to take a look at my work. The company was 33 that I was not going to give up on my passion, decided to take me 34 .After being offered the post, I've learned when it comes to careers, persistence often pays off. It demonstrates enthusiasm, commitment and drive; all attractive 35 in the eyes of an employer. So, don't give up if you don't get the placement or role first time round — sometimes persistence is all it takes to catch an employer's eye.16. A. suggestion B. direction C. course D. decision17.

Pan Shiyi , a celebrity real estate developer said he is planning to propose a Clean Air Act to the local government. As a representative to the Beijing Municipal People's Congress, he started an online survey at 9:20 a.m. Within three hours, more than 25,000 web users, or 99 percent of total respondents, welcomed his proposal on Sina Weibo , China's Twitter.They have good reasons to stand alongside Pan. The latest round of haze reduced visibility to under 500 meters in many parts of the city. The smog has also led to a great increase in respiratory illnesses, particularly among children and the elderly. Anxious parents and doctors almost all blame the smoggy air for the illnesses. Though most schoolchildren are home for the winter holidays, the bad air can easily move indoors. Besides, ordinary medical masks fail to provide adequate protection, so some people have turned to gas masks and respirators.The causes of the scary smog are rather mysterious, though experts blame excessive emissions and the mountains around Beijing that trap pollution in winter, unless there is adequate wind to clear it away. Some critics have pointed fingers at China’s top two oil firms, China National Petroleum Corp and China Petrochemical Corporation, saying the companies’ outdated production technologies produce large quantities of substandard, high-polluting gas fuel.Meanwhile, concerned Beijingers have moved their brainstorming sessions to cyberspace. If Pan’s proposal for a Clean Air Act is adopted, netizens say the new law should include items providing for “car-free days” in time s of smog, higher standards for vehicle fuel, stricter restrictions on industrial and exhaust gas emissions, and more effective protection for the public.Beijing is not the only city that has ever lost the blue sky. Five days of thick fog caused thousands of deaths in Britain in December 1952, urging the government to pass the first Clean Air Act in 1956, which introduced smokeless zones and cleaner fuels to reduce pollution. That may provide some experience for Beijing to refer to.36. Why did Pan Shiyi started an online survey?A. To investigate the public’s opinions on pollution.B. To tell people the danger of the smoggy weather.C. To call on more people to support his proposal.D. To collect supporting evidences for his proposal.37. What can we learn from the passage?A. People are clear about the causes of the smoggy weather.B. Children staying indoors will not get respiratory illnesses.C. Smog is worse for people with lower resistance to diseases.D. Masks can give people protection against the smoggy weather.38. Britain is mentioned in the last paragraph to ____.A. suggest Beijing should learn from other countriesB. let people know many places have this problemC. tell people the situation in Britain is worseD. call on the government to pass Britain’s Clean Air ActBHigh-quality customer service is told by many, but actually keeping customers happy is easier said than done.Shoppers seldom complain to the manager or owner of retail (零售) store, but instead will alarm their friends, relatives, co-workers, strangers and anyone who will listen. Store managers are often the last to hear complaints, and often find out only when their regular customers decide to frequent their competitors, according to a study jointly conducted by Verde group and Wharton school. “Storytelling hurts retailers and entertains consumers." Said Paula Courtney, president of the Verde group. "The store loses the customer, but the shopper must also find a replacement."On average, every unhappy customer will complain to at least four others, and will no longer visit the specific store. For every dissatisfied customer, a store will lose up to three more due to negative reviews. The resulting "snowball effect" can be disastrous to retailers.According to the research, shoppers who purchased clothing encountered the most problems. Ranked second and third were grocery and electronics customers. The most common complaints include filled parking lots, messy and overloaded shelves, sold-out items, long check-out lines, and rude salespeople.During peak shopping hours, some retailers solved the parking problems by getting moonlighting local police to work as parking attendants. Some hired flag wavers to direct customers to empty parking spaces. This guidance got rid of the need for customers to circle the parking lot endlessly, and avoided confrontation between those eyeing the same parking space.Retailers can relieve the headaches by redesigning store layouts, pre-stocking sales items, hiring speedy and experienced cashiers, and having sales representatives on hand to answer questions. Most importantly, salespeople should be diplomatic and polite with angry customers."Retailers who're responsive and friendly are more likely to smooth over problems than those who aren't so friendly." Said Professor Stephen Hoch. "Maybe something as simple as a greeter at the store entrance would help."Customers can also improve future shopping experiences by filing complaints to the retailer, instead of complaining to the rest of the world. Retailers are hard-pressed to improve when they have no idea what is wrong.39. Why are store managers often the last to hear complaints?A. Customers have no easy access to store managers.B. Few customers believe the service will be improved.C. Customers would rather relate their unhappy experiences to others.D. Most customers won't bother to complain about unhappy experiences.40. Shop owners often hire moonlighting police as parking attendants so that shoppers____.A. won't have trouble parking their carsB. won't have any worries about securityC. can find their cars easily after shoppingD. can stay longer looking around in the store41. The underline word “confrontation” means____.A. commentB. considerationC. communicationD. conflict42. What contributes most to smoothing over problems with customers?A. Design of the store layout.B. Manners of the salespeople.C. Hiring of efficient employees.D. Huge supply of goods for sale.43. To achieve better shopping experiences, customers are advised to ____.A. voice their dissatisfaction to store managers directlyB. put pressure on stores to improve their serviceC. shop around and make comparisons between storesD. settle their disagreement with stores in a diplomatic wayCNowadays more and more people are trapped in too busy work to relax themselves. We have no time to tell a bed-time story to our children, or enjoy a nice dinner with our family, or take a break to think about how we live the precious life, or even meet friends. All we notice is that the distinctions that used to guide and steady us— between Sunday and Monday, public and private, here and there—are gone. We have more ways to communicate, but less and less to say. Partly because we're so busy communicating.Maybe that's why more and more people I know，even if they have no religious commitment, seem to be turning to yoga, or meditation, or tai chi. Some friends of mine try to go on long walks ev ery Sunday, or to “forget” their cellphones at home. A series of tests in recent years has shown that after spending time in quiet rural settings, subjects “ exhibit greater attentiveness，stronger memory and generally improved cognition. Their brains becom e both calmer and sharper, ” More than that, sympathy, as well as deep thought, depends on neural processes that are “inherently slow, ” the very ones our high-speed lives have little time for.In my own case, I turn to unusual and often extreme measures to try to keep my good sense and ensure that I have time to do nothing at all. I've not yet used a cellphone and I've never tweeted or entered Facebook . I try not to go online till my day's writing is finished, and I moved from Manhatan to rural Japan.None of this is a matter of principle or asceticism (苦行主义)：it's just pure selfishness. Nothing makes me feel better, calmer, clearer and happier than being in one place, absorbed in a book, a conversation, a piece of music. It's actually something deeper than mere happiness：it's joy, which the monk David Steindl-Rast describes as “that kind of happiness that doesn't depend on what happens. ” That is the highest of the highest we have been longing for—The Joy of Quiet.44. The writer sometimes doesn't do anything because ____.A. he is out of workB. whatever he does make no senseC. he is worried about his writingD. he can enjoy himself in his leisure time45. When the writer uses the word “forget”，his real meaning is ____ .A. s omebody really forgets his cellphone at homeB. s omebody leaves his cellphone at home on purposeC. s omebody hates modern techniques such as the cellphoneD. s omebody thinks cellphone is not a suitable means of communication46.The underlined word “distinctions”, means ____.A outcome B. similarity C. difference D. complication47.What is the main idea of the article?A. It is important to spend time in quiet circumstances.B. W e can do some sports such as yoga to relax.C. P rinciple or asceticism is important in one's life.D. T he more we communicate, the more we will be closer.DSir,Last Saturday I watched the TV coverage of the latest Grand Prix motor race and could not fail to notice how much advertising there was. In particular, the leading car (and the one that eventually won) was almost constantly on the screen; it was painted to look like a packet of well-known cigarettes. Not only that, but the car was, on more than one occasion, referred to by the commentator not by the name of the driver or the motor company, but by the name of the product. However, the football team that I support is not allowed to wear shirts advertising anything when their matches are being televised.The rule preventing sportsmen and sportswomen from carrying advertisements on television is a good one. Keep it and do it. To take one example, what is the effect, I wonder, on the young and old, of the apparent connection between cigarette smoking and an exciting sport like motor-racing?L. H. Gray, LondonSir,What a ridiculous situation our television companies find themselves in with regard to sport and advertising!I watched a televised football match in which the players did not carry any advertisements on their shirts, and yet there was advertising all around the ground. (Do the TV producers think we viewers are blind or something?) And when a well-known international player was interviewed after the match, both he and the interviewer referred by name to the make-ups firm! And as if that were not enough, the sports item that followed was the National Bank Golf Tournament.Advertising is all around us every day. Long live advertising, I say, and let the television companies recognize it and allow football players, athletes, racing drivers and others to wear sponsors' advertisements. At least we would all know where we were!Mrs. R. P. Laing, Bristol48. L. H. Gray would like to see ____.A. advertising officially forbidden from televised sportB. cigarette advertisements made illegalC. football teams wear shirts advertising certain productsD. the law forbidding commercials will come into effect soon49. Mrs. Laing believes that ____.A. sportsmen should be allowed to carry advertising on TVB. advertising cigarettes should be officially forbidden at football matchesC. advertising on television should be forbiddenD. golf tournaments should not be sponsored by banks50. Both Gray and Laing agree that____.A. sportsmen should be allowed to advertise on TVB. TV sport should allow advertising except for drink and cigarettesC. TV companies must get rid of their "double standards"D. sports commentators should be allowed to advertiseE51 It was held on the last Saturday of March, which asks households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights and electrical appliances for one hour to raise awareness towards the need to take action on climate change.

When I was 17，I read a quote that 16 like，“If you live each day 17 it was your last，someday you'll most certainly be right.” Since then，for the past thirty-three years，I've looked 18 the mirror every morning and asked myself：“If today were the last day of my life，would I want to do what I am about to do today？”And whenever the answer has been“No” for too many days in a 19 ，I know I need to change something.About a year ago I was 20 with cancer. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable，and that I should 21 to live no longer than three to six months. They advised me to go home and get my 22 in order，which is doctors' code for “prepare to 23 ”. Later that evening when the doctors 24 the cells taken from my pancreas(胰腺)under a microscope，they started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is 25 with surgery. I had the surgery and，26 ，I'm fine now.This was the closest I've been to facing death，and I hope it's the closest I get for a few more decades. Death is the 27 we all share. No one has 28 escaped it. And that is 29 it should be，because death is very likely the single 30 invention of life. It's life's change agent. It clears out the old to make 31 for the new. Your time is 32 ，so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma(信条)—which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of 33 opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly，have the courage to 34 your heart and intuition(直觉). They 35 already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.16.A. said B. described C. went D. expressed17.A. unless B. as if C. even if D. as long as18.A. in B. at C. through D. on19.A. row B. minute C. sense D. word20.A. connected B. infected C. affected D. diagnosed21.A. want B. dream C. expect D. imagine22.A. duties B. businesses C. affairs D. life23.A. work B. start C. talk D. die24.A. looked B. viewed C. realized D. noticed25.A. curable B. possible C. acceptable D. suitable26.A. carefully B. thankfully C. anxiously D. hopefully27.A. possession B. destination C. expectation D. position28.A. ever B. even C. never D. still29.A. when B. while C. as D. since30A. better B. worst C. worse D. best31.A. use B. difference C. sense D. way32.A. endless B. repeated C. countless D. limited33.A. others' B. others C. anyone's D. some others34.A. listen B. follow C. take D. accept35.A. however B. whatever C. somehow D. somewhat第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题；每题3分，满分60分)第一节（共１５小题：每小题３分，满分4５分）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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
