It always makes me feel 36 to see others laughing and talking, and sometimes I have the 37 feeling that I look like I am waiting to be “picked up” by someone. So, my 38 is to go down to the hotel restaurant the moment it opens, 39 it is not very crowded then and I don’t feel as uncomfortable.After having room service three nights at Wyndham Hotel, I needed to get out. Although the restaurant opened at 6:30, I arrived at 6:25. The 40 met me at the front and made a comment about my “really being there early.” I explained my 41 of eating alone in42 .

He said,“I’m not really busy. Do you mind if I sit down with you for a while?” We had a wonderful 48 , until someone was seated in his station and he needed to excuse himself.Soon after, out came one of the young busboys. He, too, asked if he could sit down with me for a few minutes. We had great 49 talking about his experiences. As the restaurant got busier, he finally excused himself to attend to his work. But before I left, even the chef sat with me!When I asked for my 50 , all the people who had sat down with me come over. They 51 me with a red rose and said, “This was the 52 night we’ve ever had in our restaurant.”And I 53 ! What had begun as a lonely night 54 as a beautiful experience!

He always wore clean clothes with a hat even when he worked. His hat was always the same kind of a cowboy hat- large black hat of heavy wool. He wore his hat full and high. I think he wanted to look taller than he really was.Mama was proud of the way he looked when he wore his hat and his best cloth. But in some way she got the idea that papa would lose his hair if he kept wearing a heavy wool cowboy hat in the hot weather. She began to talk about his hats.“Papa,” she said one day, “why don't you get a nice cool straw hat? That heavy wool cowboy hat may cause losing hair!” Papa laughed at her and explained that the horses wouldn’t recognize him if he chang ed the hat. But she didn’t believe him.Mama talked and talked about the hat all summer long. At last papa answered, a little angry, “It would not the cowboy hat but a wife’s talking about the hat that makes me lose my hair.”Mama had a very serious look on her face. She went straight out and later came home with a straw hat. It was a bad year for ranger and we didn't have much money. She thought that if she spent the money for a straw hat, papa would wear it. When papa saw the hat, his face got red. Without a word, he pulled the straw hat down over his head until it hid his eyes and went on to train the horses.He was a good ranger and gentle to his horses. But as papa got close to the horses this time, they jumped high into the air, raising their front feet. All of them ran around in the rounded field and then raced toward the barn. Papa began to shout “Woo boys. Steady boys, steady.” But there was nothing equal to.Papa walked back straight to the stove in the kitchen, pushed the straw hat deep down into the fire then turned to mama, in a way that even frightened me. “Now listen to me, mama. Understand this I will never wear a straw hat or any other kind of hat my horses do not like.” Then he put on his wool cowboy hat and walked out of the house.I never heard mama talk anymore about hats. Perhaps, that is why when papa died many years later, there was a round spot on the top of his head where there was no hair.56. According to the passage, a ranger is _______.A. a person wearing a woolen hatB. a position requiring clean clothesC. a person training horses for some purposeD. a person riding a carriage with horses57. Mama bought papa a straw hat because _______.A. most cowboys preferred to wear itB. she was worried about his healthC. a woolen one didn’t suit papaD. it was cheap and she could save money58. What quality can we learn from papa?A. Gentle.B. Patient.C. Committed.D. Modest.59. It can be learned from the story that _______.A. this family were not rich but diligentB. papa didn’t love the straw hat and mamaC. protecting hair was very importantD. a cowboy hat was useful on farmingB1,000-foot water slide come to a city near youDon’t have a pool to go to this summer? Don’t live near a beach? Over the next year, a Salt Lake City-based company will be setting up its 1,000-foot water slide in cities across the USA and Canada.Slide the City is basically one big Slip’N Slide party falling down in the middle of a city street. It will be snaking its way up from Florida beginning on Valentine’s Day (first stop: West Pal m Beach) and staying in warm-weather climes through May. Spring destinations include Tallahassee (April 4), Tucson (May 2), Phoenix (May 16), El Paso (May 23), and Pensacola (May 30).In the summer through early fall, Slide the City will be performing to the coasts and the middle of the country, with stops in mid-size towns and some big cities. Few definitive dates for summer have been announced as of this writing, save for four July 4th events in Wichita, Kansas; Columbia, South Carolina; Boise, Idaho; and St. Louis, Missouri. The Slide the City website claims that it will be in Las Vegas in June and New York City in August. Butit also claims that it will be putting on water slide events in Detroit and DC in November. So you should probably stay tuned to date changes and announcements if this sounds like something you want to do.Seattle’s Slog is hopeful but rightly skeptical about the prospect of a Slide the City in Seattle. There’s still something strange about this. Where is all this water coming from? And who are these people? The first Slide the City was in Salt Lake City, which is where the company is based. Compare the Latest Price Drops Now Incredible Winter 2015 Offers.If you’re just thinking, “So what? Let me at that 1,000-foot slip’n slide!” you can pre-register on the Slide the City website, which gets you a wristband, a water gun, and a mouth guard. A single slide ranges between $15-$25, depending on whether you are an early bird register; three rides cost $40; and a VIP package of unlimited rides is $60. There is a charity aspect to this on the registration page, giving organizations a chance to partner with Slide the City and volunteers a chance to help out. The age and height limit, as well as other questions, are answered on the Slide the City FAQ page.60. Slide the City is _______.A. a 1000-foot long water slide in USAB. based on a big party called Slip' N SlideC. a snake shaped enormous water slideD. a fun water slide activity in summer61. If you live in New York, when will you be able to enjoy this water slide events?A. July.B. August.C. April.D. May.62. It can be learned from the last paragraph that _______.A. an early bird ride costs only $40B. volunteers can partner with Slide the CityC. a VIP package of unlimited rides costs $60D. a registrant can get a set of equipmentsCIf you’re middle-aged and miserable, don’t despair: Give it a decade or two and you’ll be feeling like a carefree young person again.Researchers have foundout that life satisfaction peaks at 23 and 69. People in their early twenties overestimate their future life satisfaction by an average of around 10 percent, before the disappointments of life kick in.They face decades of declining expectation before hitting their lowest point in their mid-fifties, when regrets over unrealised dreams are at their greatest. Satisfaction levels finally start to rise again after 55 and peak once more at 69, according to a study by the Centre for Economic Performance at the London School of Economics.Those aged 68 underestimate their future happiness by 4.5 percent, meaning they no longer face disappointment, the researchers found. The findings suggest that actresses Emma Watson and Kristen Stewart, both 23, should enjoy this year. If the research is borne out they will be optimistic but are likely to face disappointment in the next four decades.The CEP paper, to be published this week, is the first to examine how our expectations compare to reality at different life stages.Researcher Hannes Schwandt, 30, analysed happiness levels for 23,161 Germans aged 17 to 85. Dr Schwandt, who is based at Princeton University in the US but i s a visiting researcher at the London centre, said: “One theory is that the U-shape is driven by unmet aspirations which are painfully felt in midlife but beneficially abandoned later in life.”“People in their fifties could learn from the elderly, who gen erally feel less regret. They should try not to be discouraged by their unmet expectations because they are probably not feeling much worse than their peers.”63. The underline word “overestimate” in Paragraph 2 means “_______”.A. value too muchB. appreciate too littleC. ignore too muchD. treasure too little64. Which chart best reflects the views in this passage?65. According to Dr Schwandt, a middle-aged German may _______.A. suffer from unmet aspirations painfullyB. act to be less regretful than the elderlyC. feel happier if he abandoned benefitsD. expect not to be discouraged in the future66. The main purpose of the passage is to _______.A. compare and evaluateB. examine and assessC. argue and discussD. inform and explainDAs Philadelphia's Director of Schools, I recommended the approval of more than 30 charter schools（特色学校）because I thought it would improve educational opportunity for our 215,000 students. The last 20 years make it clear I was wrong. New policy should not build on current unfairness and imperfect assumptions, as the proposed charter law changes would do.Charters do not result in significant improvement in student performance. It has mixed academic results. In some evaluations, charter schools actually perform more poorly than regular public schools.Charter funding is also negatively affecting regular public schools. Charter advocates rely on the pre-condition that as money flows from a regular school to a charter school, the costs of the regular school go down accordingly. But it's just not true. Costs in schools sending students to charters cannot shift as fast as students and the income of the government leaves. Thus, the remaining children face the possibility of larger class sizes and cuts to central courses.Further, the proposed law also supposes all students cost the same to educate. Again, not true. It costs more to provide a quality education to some, such as those with severe disabilities, who are rarely served by charter schools, leaving traditional schools to bear this cost at the expense of all students.Charters do not serve students with the greatest challenges: Charters will be quick to point out they accept high percentages of low-income students. Some do. However, every student chosen has someone who encouraged and is advocating for her/him to apply and succeed. That fact by itself creates a select pool of students and a loss of those students in non-charter schools.C hartering is not an education reform. It's merely a change in governance. A charter law doesn’t deal with the hard real reform. We know from research and experience what works to build schools with developing students: High standards; Quality teachers; Prekindergarten for 3 year olds; Lower class sizes through the third grade. Attacking concentrated poverty through community schools; after school programs; more instruction time for students who struggle; home visitation programs; and high quality child care.Let's do what we know works.67. According to the author, charter schools _______.A. are well worth recommending to the stateB. were founded after research and evaluationsC. have improved students’ academic performanceD. are built on unfairness and imperfect assumptions68. Charter funding is negatively affecting regular public schools because _______.A. money flows from a regular school to a charter schoolB. costs cannot shift as fast as students and revenue leaveC. the remaining classes are larger and central courses are cutD. the costs of the regular school go down accordingly69. Charters do not serve students with severe disabilities, because _______.A. Charters don’t accept low-income studentsB. it costs more to provide a quality education to themC. Charters don’t accept the students with severe disabilitiesD. no one will advocate for them to attend charter schools70. The writer’ s attitude towards Charter School might be _______.A. supportiveB. indifferentC. neutralD. critical第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

But their 38 soon wears off and by January those same toys can be found put away in the basement. The world is full of 39 stamp albums and unfinished models, each standing as a monument to someone’s passing interest. When parents bring home a pet, their child 40 bathes it and brushes its fur. Within a short time, however,the 41 of caring for the animal is handed over to the parents. Adolescents enter high school with great excitement but are soon looking forward to 42 . The same is true of the young adults going to college. And then, how many 43 , who now complain about the long drives to work, nervously drove for hours at a time when they first 44 their driver’s licenses? Before people retire, they usually plan to do a lot of 45 things, which they never had time to do while working. But 46 after retirement, the golfing, the fishing, the reading and all of the other pastimes become as boring as the jobs they left. And, like the child in January, they go searching for new 47 .36.

It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives—the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research，though. It's already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives，like genetic engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do—as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.It's quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I'm pretty sure how it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspapers by picking out the things you want to read—sports and international news, etc.I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media．They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn't happened. What it read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet，it's never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.61．What is the BEST title for the passage?A. The best way to get newsB. The future of newspaperC. Make your own newspaperD. The changes of media62．In the writer's opinion，in the future， .A. more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make newsB. newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longerC. newspapers will cover more scientific researchD. more and more people will watch TV63．What will probably be in the newspaper made by yourself?A. What you are interested in.B. A menu of important news.C. The most important news.D. Sports and international news64．From the passage, we can infer .A. newspapers will win the competition among the different mediaB. newspapers will stay with us together with other mediaC. television will take the place of newspapersD. the writer believes some media will die out65．The underlined phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph means .A. kill offB. compete withC. fight withD. depend onCLivia Satterfield, born in Romania, never received a Christmas gift until she was 12. She grew up in a Romanian orphanage（孤儿院）, and that first gift, a shoe box full of inexpensive things with hair barrettes sitting on top — she had always longed for such a set — changed her life. Connie Satterfield from America put the box in Livia’s hands 10 years ago when she was volunteering for the Operation Christmas Child.Franklin Graham runs the Operation Christmas Child now. The program began in 1990 in Wales when a pastor（牧师）gathered 23,000 boxes of toys for child victims of the civil war in the former Yugoslavia（南斯拉夫）. The pastor later hired Graham to join, and collected 69 million shoe boxes. The program continues to grow now. This year it will send about 8 million shoe boxes full of pencils, toothbrushes, dolls and balls.Connie Satterfield said she and her husband, Ray, had talked about adopting an American child, but held off because they had a 4-year-old. However, everything changed soon when she handed Livia her box. “I saw and talked to the child, and it’s the child who I want to have. The very day I met her, I knew,” she said.The adoption process took nearly two years. Two years later, Livia reached America and became a member of the Satterfields when she was fourteen.Livia, now 22 and a student at Clayton State University, is packing the boxes for distribution worldwide. She’s working at the Suwanee storehouse where 8,000 volunteers will inspect, sort and pack 850,000 shoe boxes given by kind people. She hasn’t forgotten her first Christmas gift. That’s why she’s volunteered for several years for the yearly gathering of gifts. She wants to work full time for the organization that changed her life.66. From Paragraph 1, we can learn that Livia Satterfield______.A. had a miserable(痛苦的,可怜的) childhoodB. lost touch with her parentsC. got much care from the orphanageD. was encouraged to change her life by Connie67. What can we learn about the Operation Christmas Child?A. It is a for-profit organization.B. It was created by a British pastor.C. It buys expensive gifts for orphans every year.D. It sends only shoe boxes to children.68. When Connie Satterfield saw Livia, she______.A. wanted to adopt LiviaB. had no child in her familyC. told her husband to adopt LiviaD. didn’t intend to adopt a foreign girl69. What can we infer from the text?A. Livia was adopted when she was 22.B. Connie didn’t like Livia at first.C. Connie Satterfield had difficulties in adopting Livia.D. Livia asked Connie Satterfield to adopt her.70. Livia Satterfield works for the Operation Christmas Child because she______.A. wants to help her motherB. can’t find other better jobsC. plans to start a new lifeD. wants to pass on love to othersPart IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Career development refers to the life-long process of continuously managing professional work. The process assists people in defining their career goals clearly.Education is the first step in career development because education received in various institutions like elementary school, high school and university helps in increasing the depth of a student’s knowledge.Career development is also concerned with personality as a person needs to present himself in the best possible way in his workplace to make a mark for himself. Relevant personal qualities are important, such as loyalty to the company, responsibility and so on.Career development also emphasizes the important aspects of training. Knowledge learned in classrooms needs to be applied smartly to doing the work in a satisfactory way. For this, a good deal of training needs to be provided for the employees by their employers. Get as much training as possible!There are many objectives of career development, one of which is identifying your strengths and weaknesses. Your career won’t move in a wrong direction only if you make a concentrated effort of making full use of your strengths and working on your weaknesses. A person can understand his worth with the help of career development.Because of the development of globalization, employees may have to work in different places across the world. Therefore, adapting to the conditions that are changing is also one objective of career development. In the absence of career development programs, employees may witness a reduced productivity which will affect their career advancement.Information is another objective of career development. Employees and students must have right information about career planning and various opportunities available to them at the right time to take opportunities and achieve their goals. They need to be aware of the skills and qualities which are essential in a modern business environment.As has been stated above, one really has to do a lot in the process of career promotion. But what’s the most important is that those who are going to create a bright career future must struggle to improve themselves constantly in the whole life span.Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.I used to frequently visit an old age home in our city Hyderabad, India. There I met a gentlemen by name Kurien in his late eighties. He served the Indian army and retired. He had one son who was well educated and also married. He just did not bother to take care of him or respect him while he was in the house.Mr. Kurien got disappointed with the life in his house and decided to move into this old age home here in Hyderabad. We both began to share a lot of thoughts whenever we met and slowly it was a daily affair that I used to spend some time with him discussing what he had done in the army: their daily schedule, march pasts, camps etc., which he used to share with lots of joy.I used to carry with me some snacks which we both used to sit under a tree and eat. I saw him really very happy in my presence. One day, h e told me with tears in his eyes “John, I have really found a very good friend in you. I feel like living some more years to spend happy time with you.”As we departed (分开), I told him “Do not worry. God will give you enough time to spend with me.” I had an official meeting and could not the next day go to the old age home. The day after when I reached the home, his room was locked. I enquired and found that he was no more. He died the very night we both met last.I really miss him. I have not given him anything worthwhile, except that I used to listen to his words and share his thoughts. Let’s share what we can.81.
