But now it can be found almost everywhere. We can use it to read books, write letters, do shopping, play games or make friends.Many students like the Internet very much. They often go into the Internet as soon as they are free. They make friends on the Internet and maybe they have never seen these friends. They don’t know their real names and ages. They are so interested in making the “unreal friends” that they can’t put their heart into study. Many of them can’t catch up with others on many subjects because of that.We can use computers and the Internet to learn more about the world.

The volunteers' primary responsibility is to help people with learning disabilities ______.A. to get some financial supportB. to properly protect themselvesC. to learn some new living skillsD. to realize their own importanceDEnglish is a very interesting language. It has borrowed words from many other languages. Immigrants(移民) coming into the United States have contributed many words to the language, which have kept their original pronunciation. “Coolie” and “kowtow” were taken from the Chinese language, “kamikaze from the Japanese, “shampoo” from India, “blitz” from German, “amigo” and “Los Angeles” from Spanish and so on.Many students have studied English for years, some as many as eight. However, some students still have difficulty in speaking fluent English. Some know many words but are unable to discern them when native speakers use them. In our Oral English classes we will focus on speaking and listening to native English speakers. For this reason, because we are trying to train your ears to hear English and your mouths to speak intelligible (易理解的) English, we will have a rule that ONLY ENGLISH will be spoken in our English classes. Anyone speaking Chinese in class will be required to pay a fine in order to encourage the speaking and understanding of English. If teachers enter a classroom and discover that anyone is speaking Chinese, they will require everyone in the room to pay the fine. It is everyone’s job to enforce the English-Only rule. It is for your benefit. It is because we want to accustom (使习惯于) your ears to hearing English.Other subjects may be learned solely from books but the only way to learn a foreign language is to SPEAK IT! Students are often nervous about speaking in class at first but we hope to make the classes fun, so you will forget your nervousness and learn to speak out. Enjoy your classes.12. The first paragraph is mainly about________.A. the difficulty of learning English.B. how interesting and various English isC. different words in different languagesD. the i mmigrants’ contributions to America13.

As we walked up to her, my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment. He said he was just too scared to go up to her.Instead I gave the flower to the woman’s husband and told hi m, “ My son was very upset for your wife and wanted to give h er this flower to make her feel better.”At that, the old man started crying and said, “Thank you so m uch, you have a wonderful son.

（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分。
）AIt all started at the beginning of this term. At first, Carmen was n’t really sure what was happening. In class, she had to squint (眯眼) to see the blackboard clearly. As it got worse, she became more and more worried. It was important for her to see the no tes and homework the teacher wrote on the board.In class, she asked for a desk that was closer to the blackboa rd. One day, her teacher said, “Carmen,I’ve noticed you squinting a lot. Are you having trouble seeing the board?” Carmen shook her head. “I’m fine, Mrs. Cruz.”At home, she had to sit closer and closer to the television. Her mother noticed her squinting as she watched her favorite sho ws.“Tomorrow I will go to see a doctor,” she said firmly. Three da ys later, Carmen had new glasses. She was told to wear them all the time. “All of the kids at school will think I’m a nerd (书呆子),” she said. “You look just as beautiful with those glasses o n as you do without them,” her mother said. But Carmen didn’t believe her.The next day, Carmen kept the glasses in her pocket as she walked into the schoolyard. Suddenly, she heard her friend Th eresa shout. “What’s wrong?” she asked.“My silver ring is gone!” Theresa cried. Carmen could tell that Theresa was very upset. They all looked for the ring in the gra ssy area of the playground.Carmen realized that she could search better if she could see better. She took the glasses out of her pocket and put them o n. Everything looked so different! So clear! And a glimmer (微光) of silver caught her eye.“Here it is,” she shouted. “Thanks Carmen,” Theresa said. “I d idn’t know you wore glasses. They look great!”“Thanks,” Car men replied shyly.As they walked back toward the school building, two more girl s praised her glasses. Carmen smiled. “Maybe wearing glass es won’t be so bad after all,” she thought.1. According to the text, Carmen ______.A. doesn’t like doing homeworkB. often tells lies to her teacherC. cares how well she does in lessonsD. has trouble getting along with her classmates2.

Whe n they passed a place they saw a large area of grass and bus hes on fire and a strong wind was blowing the flames towards a village. The firemen had already arrived and were trying to put out the fire. The boys left their bicycles and ran towards th e village to see if they could help to fight the fire. On the way t hey met two firemen.“Quick, you boys,” said one of the firemen. “Come and help u s to pull a pump (泵) to the stream. We can’t beat out the fire. The wind is too strong. The pump is our only hope.”The two boys ran further until they came to a heavy pump. Th ey helped to pull it to a stream not far from the village.Soon the pump was working well so the boys went to watch th e fire. It had already reached the edge of the village. The boys saw that two houses were on fire, and the flames were attack ing a third building. Suddenly there was a shout from one of th e villagers.“Keep away!” a voice shouted. “There’s paint stored in that bu ilding.” The boys and villagers moved away quickly. With a lou d explosion (爆炸), the whole building burst into flames, sending clouds of thick black smoke into the sky.At this time Peter and Jim began to think that the whole villag e would be burnt to the ground. The firemen had left the burni ng buildings and were pouring (浇) water onto the neighboring houses, trying to stop the fire from spreading. Then the wind died down. A second pump was brought up to help, and the fir e was gradually put out.“It’s soon finished,” Peter said to his friend. “We must go or w e shall get home late.”“Yes, come on,” agreed Jim, and witha last look at the ruins, they walked back to their bicycles.4. Seeing the fire, the boys ran to the village to _____.A. watch itB. ask for helpC. help the firemenD. warn the villagers5.

Land mines are small b ombs (炸弹) hidden in the ground and designed to explode when some one steps on them.When trained, the rats can smell special metals in the mines a nd then signal to their human team. Then why use rats for suc h an important job?In the past, dogs have been used to find bombs. Rats have a good sense of smell and can respond to orders, just like dogs do. But rats are much lighter than dogs. They stand less of a chance of setting off the mines, which explode under a certain amount of weight. What’s more, the best rats are cheaper to keep than dogs. It costs about the same amount of money to t ake care of one dog as it does 70 rats.The rats have already been used in Tanzania, an African cou ntry with many land mines. Luisa Fernanda Méndez and her t eam in Colombia are training the even lighter Wistar rats. The se are the white rats with red eyes that scientists often use in l aboratory experiments. “They even train their babies to perfor m their jobs, which saves us a lot of time,”Méndez said. Colombia has the second-highest rate (比率) of deaths from land mine accidents in the world. Last year, land mines killed 695 people — 56 of whom were children. A criminal (犯罪的) group called the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia , or FARC, as well as other organizations, have placed the mi nes. FARC are strongly against Colombia’s government. The group has placed mines all around its own bases and in many places in the countryside.In the past, the Colombian government hired peasants and po or farmers to find mines. Many of them died trying to find the well-hidden bombs.Colombian police official Erick Gu zmán hopes the team of rat s can come to the rescue. “These rats will be a great help,” he said.8. How do rats help to find land mines?A. By their sense of smell.B. By their light weight.C. By their special sight.D. By their excellent hearing.9. The advantage of rats over dogs in finding bombs is that __ ___.A. they are clevererB. they run fasterC. they have a better sense of smellD. they don’t make mi nes explode as easily10. The underlined word “They” may refer to _____.A. dogsB. scientistsC. Wistar ratsD. Méndez and her team11. What is the text mainly about?A. People in Tanzania are suffering from land mines.B. Specially-trained rats help clear land mines.C. Dogs are no longer used to find land mines.D. Land mines have become a great danger to Colombians.DThink about the longest elevator ride that you’ve ever taken. Whether you rose five floors or 100, it probably took less than a few minutes. Now imagine riding in an elevator higher and h igher as it climbs for nearly a day. When you reach the top floor, prepare for views that are really out of this world. You’ll be in space!Space elevators might sound like a crazy idea, but they’re so mething scientists have been working on for decades.Why would anyone want a space elevator? At the moment, rid ing in a capsule is the only way ordinary people can get to and from space. But those rides are very expensive — about $25 million per person per flight. Now scientists are making effo rts to reduce the expense of those rides.Researchers are still figuring out the details about how a spac e elevator might work. One idea is stretching (伸展) a very long cable（绳索）— more than 37,000 kilometers — up to space from the earth’s equator (赤道). The location is important: Objects in space above the equ ator orbit (绕……的轨道飞行) the earth at the same speed that our planet turns. A weigh t on the end of the cable would stretch it tight. An elevator tied to the cable could use it to climb up and down.The only problem is that besides being long, this cable must a lso be very strong. Storms, including hurricanes might break it . One way to solve this problem is to stretch the cable from th e moon instead of from the earth. Airplanes designed to climb higher than a typical jet might take off from the earth and link up with the cable, which would be held in place by the pull of gravity from the earth. An elevator car waiting there would the n take riders the rest of the way to the moon. Fueled by solar power, the elevator could transport people and materials with out much expense or effort per ride.So, when will you be taking your first space-elevator ride? Probably not for a while.12. The first paragraph is presented by _____.A. giving an exampleB. making a comparisonC. asking questionsD. analyzing causes13. Why have scientists been working on space elevators?A. To make trips to space cheaper.B. To help astronauts do research in space.C. To find a more convenient way to the moon.D. To prove an assumption which seems crazy.14. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to _____.A. the cableB. the equatorC. an object in spaceD. a weight on the end of the cable15. What may make the cable stay in place on the moon?A. The elevator car on the moon.B. The elevator fastened to the cable.C. The pull of gravity from the earth.D. The speed of the moon orbiting the earth.第二节: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。

In order to answer this question, we must first examine（22）_____ people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons, for example, economic reasons（23）_____ they should be preserved. So, let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people.（24）______ should we do then if a new building is needed?In my view, new architectural styles（25）______ exist perfectly well alongside an older style.

I think this is simply （28）______ people are naturally conservative and do not like change.Although we have to respect people’s feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward. If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against（29）______（copy）previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different,（30）______ ______that might be the more risky choice.Section B（10 points）Directions：Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Noteits food and agriculture industries. As part of this initiative the government ___31___ extensive research to identify which attributes of a good product are most important to consumers. As income levels rise and education levels improve, consumers across the world are becoming interested in more than just the price and quality of the food they eat. Indeed, some consumers are now willing to pay extra money for food with a special nutritional or health ___32___. In addition, some consumers are also choosing food based on how it was produced, including the environmental and ___33___ impact of production. Victoria’s Department of Primary Industries designed and researched a report that analyzes ___34___ for food products with “trust” attributes, specifically food safety, clean food, green food, animal welfare and ethical food production. The report also determines the relative importance of the five nominated “trust” attributes and ___35___ their importance in relation to non-trust attribute’s such as price and quality.“Consumers are becoming increasingly insightful when making ___36___ decisions, and Victoria’s ability to demonstrate the trustworthiness of food products will be vital to maintain consumer ___37___ in priority export markets,”the report says. Between February and June 2004, the DPI interviewed 280 food industry shareholders, including retailers, wholesalers, food service managers, importers distributors and representatives of government, industry bodies and non-government ___38___, in 21 of Victoria’s major food markets, including France, Japan, the UK and the US.The research found, perhaps ___39___, that price, quality and food safety were the most important factors forconsumers, with each factor ___40___ as the most important by 18-20% of respondents. In fourth place, 8% of respondents felt flavor was the most important attribute of a food product for customers while 6% thought freshness was most important, and 3% thought the appearance packaging was most important. Health nutrition, brand image, and clean chemical free were each considered most important by just 1-2% of interviewees.Ⅱ. Reading ComprehensionSection A（15 points）Directions：For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C, and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.From Oxford’s quads to Harvard Yard and many a steel and glass palace of higher education in between, exams are given way to holidays. As students consider life after graduation, universities are ___41___ questions about their own future. The higher-education model of lecturing, cramming and examination has barely ___42___ for centuries. Now, three disruptive waves are threatening to shake established ways of teaching and learning.On one front, a funding ___43___ has created a shortage of fund that the universities brightest brains are struggling to solve. Institutions’ costs are rising, ___44___ pricey investments in technology, teachers’ salaries and increasing administrative costs. That comes as governments conclude that they can no longer afford to subsidize （补贴）universities as ___45___ as they used to. American colleges, in particular, are under pressure: some analysts predict mass bankruptcies within two decades.At the same time, a(n) ___46___ revolution is challenging higher education’s business model. A(n) ___47___ in online learning, much of it free, means that the knowledge once a lucky few had excess to has been released to anyone with a smart phone or laptop. These ___48___ and technological disruptions coincide with a third great change: whereas universities used to educate only a tiny elite, they are now ___49___ training and retraining workers throughout their careers. How will they ___50___ this storm—and what will emerge in their place if they don’t?The universities least likely to lose out to online competitors are elite institutions with established reputations and low student-to-tutor ratios. That is ___51___ news for the Ivy League, which offer networking opportunities to students alongside a degree. Those colleges might profit from expanding the ratio of online learning to classroom teaching, lowering their costs while still offering the prize of a college education conducted partly on campus.The most vulnerable, according to Jim Lerman of Kean University in New Jersey, are the“middle-tier institutions, which produce America’s teachers, middle managers and administrators.”They could be ___52___ in greater part by online courses, he suggests. So might weaker community colleges, although those which cultivate connections to local employers might yet prove resilient（有弹力的）.Since the first wave of massive online courses launched in 2012, an opposition has focused on their ___53___ and commercial uncertainties. Yet if critics think they are immune to the march of the MOOC, they are almost certainly wrong. Whereas online courses can quickly ___54___ their content and delivery mechanisms, universities are up against serious cost and efficiency problems, with little chances of taking more from the public purse.Without the personal touch, higher education could become“an icebound, petrified（石化的）cast-iron university.”That is what the new wave of high-tech courses should not become. But as a(n) ___55___ to an overstretched, expensive model of higher education, they are more likely to prosper than fade.41. A. answering B. facing C. settling D. guessing42. A. reviewed B. existed C. substituted D. changed43. A. situation B. trend C. crisis D. relief44. A. owing to B. apart from C. except for D. rather than45.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）A Buffalo charter school（特许学校）, run by a for-profit company, received $7.2 million in taxpayer money last year to educate about 500 elementary and middle school students. But at the end of the year, the audit（审计）it submitted to the state only listed its expenses roughly, including $1.3 million in rent for a building the company owned, $976,000 for executive administration and $361,000 in professional fees.Officials from the New York State teachers’union raised the case of the school, Buffalo United, as an example of what it said was wrong with the oversight of charter schools throughout the state. The union said the case supported its view that no new charter schools should be permitted unless oversight is strengthened.“How much is profit?”asked Andrew Pallotta,the executive vice president of New York State United Teach ers.“There is truly too much we don’t know and can’t know.”The union’s concerns fell on mostly friendly ears at the all-day hearing, which had been called by Senator Bill Perkins of Harlem, an outspoken critic of the charter school movement. Teachers’ unions have generally opposed charter schools, which tend not to be unionized. On Thursday, the state union listed claims against charter schools that included conflict of interest and stealing. Brooklyn Charter School in Bedford-Stuyvesant, it said, had acquired, as a subsidiary（子公司）, a shop linked to the president of the school’s board. An audit of a second Buffalo charter school, Western New York Maritime, found that big-screen televisions and computer equipment had been sent to the personal addresses of employees, the union said.“The corruption and the politicization are the Achilles’heel of the movement,”Mr.Perkins said.Officials responsible for authorizing and overseeing charter schools said there was room for more accountab ility and transparency from charter schools,but they said that the controls were already healthy.“It is good that the bad actors have come to light,”said John B.King Jr.,the senior deputy commissioner of the state Education Department.“I actually think that there is a lot of common ground here,and if we create the ri ght conversation,there is room to both improve charters and increase the number.”56. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. Most charter schools are run by for-profit companies.B. A Buffalo charter school over-spent last year.C. Charter school should be monitored over education quality.D. The expense-list of a charter school was not transparent.57. The term“Achilles’ heel”in paragraph 5 can be replaced by“_______”.A. weak spotB. characteristicC. inevitable problemD. peak58. What is said about officials responsible for authorization and overseeing charter school?A. They were determined to supervise charter schools strictly.B. Their words and behavior on charter schools were a paradox.C. They thought they put a good control on charter schools.D. Their supervision on charter schools was not transparent enough.59. What is John B. King Jr.’s attitude towards authorizing more charter schools?A. opposedB. concernedC. approvingD. indifferent（B）Scholarship Application Tips in 2015 for college students.* Before you apply1. Work hard to get good grades. Don’t sweat about one bad grade, but always strive to do your best.2. Get involved,and stay involved, in out-of-class activities. Sports, clubs, drama, bands and orchestras — these often count toward a student’s overall scholarship application evaluation. The same goes for paid (or unpaid) work experience.3. Begin your scholarship research early — by your sophomore(大学/中学二年级学生) or junior year of high school, if possible. Make special note of application deadlines, as they can vary from late summer to late spring.4. Apply for as many scholarships as you are eligible(符合条件的) for — several smaller scholarships can add up to a lot of money.* During the application process1. Read the supplementary materials that come with scholarship application forms to better understand the program’s focus (community service, subject interest). Try to answer the questions with the focus area in mind.2. Answer questions as they are asked. Don’t go off topic.3. If there is a financial section to the application, make sure you get accurate and complete information from all appropriate sources to ensure your eligibility.4. Take your time.Write down everything you can think of for each question, then set the application aside for a day so you can look everything over again before you send it off.5. Don’t wait until the last minute to complete your application, especially if you are applying online. Computer systems can get blocked with the large volume of applicants hoping to submit their qualifications during the last few days and hours before a deadline.6. If a third party has to complete part of your application, such as providing a letter of recommendation, make sure you ask them early on and remind them as often as necessary to ensure they provide you with the necessary materials.7. Last but not least, review your application with your parents to make sure you haven’t left out any important details.60. Before you apply for a scholarship, it’s best to _____.A. pay more attention to grades than to out-of-class activitiesB. focus on only one scholarship applicationC. get as much work experience as possibleD. begin your preparation as early as possible61. When you are answering questions on the application form, you should ____.A. focus on the subject you are interested inB. answer to the pointC. list your advantagesD. prove your abilities62. The author suggests that applicants should _____.A. submit the application in the few daysB. double-check their application with their parentsC. complete and submit the application in one dayD. avoid submitting the application online（C）A simple piece of rope hangs between some environmentally friendly Americans and their neighbors. On one side stand those who have begun to see clothes dryers as a wasteful consumers of energy（up to 6% of total electricity）and powerful emitters of carbon dioxide（up to a ton of CO2 per household every year）. As an alternative, they are turning to clotheslines as part of what Alexander Lee, an environmentalist, calls“what-I-can- do environmentalism.”But On the other side are people who oppose air-drying laundry outside on visual grounds. Increasingly, they have persuaded community and homeowners associations (HOAs) access the U.S. to ban outdoor clotheslines, which they say not only look unattractive but also lower surrounding property values. Those actions, in turn, have led to a right-to-dry movement that is pressing for making laws to protect the choice to use clotheslines. Only three states-Florida, Hawaii and Utah—have laws written broadly enough to protect clotheslines. Right-to-dry advocates argue that there should be more.Matt Reck is the kind of eco-conscious guy who feeds his trees with bathwater and recycles condensation drops（冷凝水）from his air conditioners to water plants. His family also uses a clothesline. But Otto Hagen, president of Reck’s HOA in Wake Forest, N.C., notified him that a neighbor had complained about his line. The Recks ignored the warning and still dry their clothes on a rope in the yard. “Many people claim to be environmentally friendly but don’t take matters into their own hands,” says Reck. HOAs Hagen has decided to hold off taking action.“I’m not going to go crazy,”he says.“But if Matt keeps his line and more neighbors complains, I’ll have to address it again.”North Carolina lawmakers tried and failed earlier this year to insert language into an energy bill that would expressly prevent HOAs from regulating clotheslines. But the issue remains a touchy one with HOAs and real estate agents.“Most visual restrictions are rooted, to a degree, in the belief that homogenous（统一协调的）external appearance are supportive of property value,”says Sara Stubbins, executive director of the Community Association Institute’s North. Carolina chapter. In other words, associations worry that housing prices will fall if prospective buyers think their would-be neighbors are too poor to afford dryers.Alexander Lee dismisses the notion that clotheslines devalue property advocating that the idea“needs to change in light of global warming.”“We all have to do at least something to decrease our carbon footprint,”Alexander Lee says.63. What is NOT mentioned as a disadvantage of using clothes dryers?A. Electricity consumption.B. Air pollution.C. Waste of energy.D. Ugly looking.64. Which of the following is INCORRECT？A. Opposers think air-drying laundry would devalue surrounding property.B. Opposers consider the outdoor clothesline as an eyesore to the scenery.C. Right-to-dry movements led to the pass of written laws to protect clotheslines in America.D. Most of states in the US have no written laws to protect clotheslines.65. In the last paragraph Alexander Lee recommends that ______.A. clotheslines should be banned in the community.B. clotheslines wouldn’t lessen the property values.C. the globe would become warmer and warmer.D. we should protect the environment in the community.66. An appropriate title for the passage might be ________.A. Opinions on Environmental Protection.B. Opinions on Air-drying Laundry.C. What-I-Can-Do Environmentalism.D. Restrictions on Clotheslines.Section C（8 points）Directions：Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used once.Educators are seriously concerned about the high rate of dropouts among the doctor of philosophy candidates and the consequent loss of talent to a nation in need of Ph.D.s. Some have placed the dropouts loss as high as 50 percent. ___67___ Last week a well-rounded study was published. It was published. It was based on 22,000 questionnaires sent to former graduate students who were enrolled in 24 universities and it seemed to show many past fears to be groundless.Discussing the study last week, Dr. Tucker said the project was initiated because of the concern frequently expressed by graduate faculties and administrators that some of the individuals who dropped out of Ph.D. programs were capable of competing the requirement for the degree. ___68___ Some people expressed the opinion that the shortage of highly trained specialists and college teachers could be reduced by persuading the dropouts to return to graduate schools to complete the Ph.D.Nearly 75 per cent of the dropouts said there was no academic reason for their decision, but those who mentioned academic reason cited failure to pass the qualifying examination, uncompleted research and failure to pass language exams. ___69___As an indication of how well the dropouts were doing, a chart showed 2% in humanities were receiving $20,000 and more annually while none of the Ph. D.s with that background reached this figure. The PhD’s shone in the $7,500 to $15,000 bracket with 78% at that level against 50% for the dropouts. This may also be an indication of the fact that top salaries in the academic fields, where Ph. D.s tend to rise to the highest salaries, are still lagging behind other fields.___70___ The main condition which would have to prevail for at least 25 % of the dropouts who might consider returning to graduate school would be to guarantee that they would retain their present level of income and in some cases their present job.Ⅱ. Summary Writing 10%Directions：Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.Learn from mistakesThe best way to learn something is to make mistakes first. Thomas Edison, who invented the light bulb, told his colleagues:“Of the 200 light bulbs that didn’t work, every failure told me something I was able to incorporate into the next attempt.”Benjamin Franklin, the US statesman and scientist once said：“I haven’t failed. I have had 10,000 ideas that didn’t work.”Both these people understood that failures and false starts are the condition of success. In fact, a surprising number of everyday objects had their beginnings in a mistake or a misunderstanding. Post-it notes, packets of crisps and even bread are all unexpected inventions. In 2600 BC, a tired Egyptian slave invented bread when the dough rose during his sleep. And crisps were first cooked by a chef in the USA when a customer complained that his fried potatoes were not thin enough.In 1968 Spencer Silver was trying to develop a strong adhesive when he accidentally invented a very weak glue instead. His colleague, Art Fry, decided to use it six years later, in 1974, to hold his bookmarks in his books and the post-it note was invented.Successful businesspeople have often made big, expensive mistakes in their past. When an employee of IBM made a mistake that cost the company $600,000. Thomas Watson, the chairman, was asked if he would fire the man.“Of course not,”he replied.“I have just spent $600,000 training him. I am not going to let another company benefit from experience.”The important thing to remember is that you need to learn from your mistakes. If you don’t, then there is no sense in making them.第Ⅱ 卷Ⅱ. Translation（15 points）Directions：Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1. 很多人看上去很忙碌，其实没有任何效果。

Usually she demanded that I sit at the table for dinner, go to bed at nine, and regularly clean my room. And I usually resisted(抗拒) doing what my mom wanted me to do. I was so eager for my independence that I built walls about a mile high in every direction.Something in college, when distance gave me the space the walls had meant to create, I began to take them down brick by brick. Throughout my twenties, we were moving toward each other from opposite direction. Actually I was the slow one and my mom was waiting patiently, as she always had, for something to change.And then, something did change. My dad died. U ntil that happened, I couldn’t imagine anything worse. Besides all the other ways I’d miss him, what would it be like at home? What would my mom and I do? What would we have and the same kind of food. My dad had often complained about those things. We also both enjoyed traveling, so we took trips together. Together, we also thought of ways of doing with a lot of my dad’s things. He kept everything. She and I, on the other hand, love to live light.Suddenly I found that I am so much like my mom. Recently, a new friend asked me how my mom and I get along. I hesitated for a moment, and then said, “Great.” I also told him that I felt guilty that something so positive came out of my dad’s death.4.What do we know about the author’s mother?A.

I was sitting at my desk and all of a sudden the front of my pants became wet．It had never happened before, and I knew that when the boys found out I would never hear the endof it．When the girls found out, they would never speak to me again as long as I live. I believed my heart was going to stop. I put my head down and prayed(祈祷), "Dear God, this is an emergency! I need help now! Five minutes from now I'm dead meat!"I looked up from my prayer and there came the teacher with a look in her eyes that said I had been discovered．As the teacher was walking towards me, a classmate named Susie came close to me, carrying a goldfish bowl that was filled with water．Susie fell down in front of the teacher and poured the water in my lap．I pretended to be angry, but all the while was saying to myself, "Thank you．Lord! Thank you．Lord!"Now all of a sudden, instead of being afraid to be laughed at, I was the object of sympathy(同情)．The teacher rushed me downstairs and gave me gym shorts to put on．All the other children were on their hands and knees cleaning up around my desk．The sympathy was wonderful．At the end of the day, as Susie and I were waiting for the bus, I walked to Susie and whispered, "You did that on purpose, didn't you?"
