One father listened to all the 16 his children gave for wanting to see a particular movie. It had their favorite 17 . Everyone else was seeing it and said it was great. It was only rated PG-13 (parental guidance ) because of 18 in it . The teens did 19 that there was a scene, but it was “ just a little” wrong .It wasn’t anything really 20 However, the father still wouldn’t 21 . He just said, “ No!” That evening, the father asked his kids if he would like the favorite bread he 22 . He said that he’d 23 “Just a little” something extra. The children asked what it was . The father 24 said it was “ just a little” dog poop (屎). 25 , he quickly assured them it was “ just a little”. All the other ingredients were of good 26 . He was sure the bread would be 27 .

with “ just a little” bit of bad stuff in it was just like the bread. It tries to 30 our minds and our lives by deceiving (欺骗) us into 31 that “ just a little” bit of evil won’t matter. The 32 is “just a little” of poop that makes the difference between a great treat and something 33 , which is totally unacceptable.

This is why it’s possible to become a US citizen without speaking English. Canada also has French as an official language, though it is mostly spoken in the province of Quebec. Because many of the English speakers who originally lived in Canada came from the US, there is little difference in American and Canadian English. Similarly, Australian English and New Zealand English have few differences, except Australia was originally settled as a penal colony (罪犯流放地) and New Zealand was not. New Zealanders were more attached to the Received Pronunciation of the upper class in England, so their dialect is considered closer to British English. British colonialism (殖民主义) has spread English all over the world, and it is

A1. The card above is .A.a ticketB. a postcardC. an invitationD. an advertisement2.The party is for .A.a birthdayB. a queenC. bee watchingD. the national day3.According to the card, if you are unable to go, you can .A.return the cardB.visit the MuseumC.ignore the messageD.contact Alice’s motherBWhen I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother’s Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service,pretended not to understand her,or even acted as if they did not hear her. My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was her. I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人).I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs.Tan...”And my mother was standing beside me,whispering loudly, “Why he don’t send me check already two weeks ago.”And then, in perfect English I said, “I’m getting rather concerned.You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.”Then she talked more loudly. “What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can’t tolerate any more excuse. If I don’t receive the check immediately, I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs.Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.4.Why was the author’s mother poorly served?A. She was unable to speak good English.B. She was often misunderstood.C. She was not clearly heard.D. She was not very polite.5.What does the author think of her mother’s English now?A. It confuses her.B. It embarrasses her.C. It helps her understand the world.D. It helps her tolerate rude people.6.We can infer from the passage that Chinese English . .A. is clear and natural to non-native speakersB. is vivid and direct to non-native speakersC. has a very bad reputation in AmericaD. may bring inconvenience in AmericaCWhat should you think about when trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English maybe good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work.You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background.You should not ignore it but instead recognize that you will havea chance of a fresh start at work.7. What is the passage mainly about?A. The importance of working hard at school.B. Choosing a career according to one’s strengths.C. How to face one’s weakness.D. The value of school work.8. The writer thinks that a student’s part-time job is probably_____.A. a good way to find out his weak pointsB. one of the best ways of earning extra moneyC. of great use for his work in the futureD. a waste of time he could have spent on study9. From the passage we learn that if a student’s school performance is not good, he ______.A. should pay more attention to learning skills and developing abilitiesB. will be regretful about his bad resultsC. may also do well in his future workD. should restart his study at school10. The underlined phrase “be all thumbs”(in Para.3) probably means “______”.A. be clumsy at doing thingsB. be skillful in doing thingsC. be not interested in certain thingsD. be easily bored in doing things第二节阅读填空（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

AParents are usually at a loss when it comes to graduation gifts for their teens. Here is a great graduation gift list.IKEA blue bagsIKEA blue bags are truly the most amazing bags we have ever used for packing and moving.

It can be folded by itself.C. It has wheels to move quickly.D. It helps college freshmen save energy.2. Which gift brings teens lifelong benefits?A. IKEA blue bags.B. Mini Plus.C. Napkin Finance.D.

Methods of getting along with classmates.BAs the coronavirus (冠状病毒) outbreak continues, many Americans are fearful of using public transportation. They are also looking for ways to get exercise without going to a gym. So, it may not be surprising that the pandemic (疫情) has led to a major increase in bicycle sales.In the US, bicycles at big stores have sold out. And small bicycle stores cannot keep up with demand for"family-style" bicycles: the low-cost, easy-to-ride models. "The bicycle industry is seeing its biggest sales increase since the oil crisis of the 1970s," said Jay Townley, an industry expert. He compared the sale of bicycles to the rush to buyproducts like toilet paper at the start of the pandemic.The rise in bicycle sales is not happening just in the US. Italy has created bicycle paths for the growing number of people who want to avoid public transportation. In London, city officials plan to ban cars from some central roads. Bike shop owners in Manila say demand is even stronger than what they see at Christmas time.Of course, you can only buy a bicycle if you can find one. In the US, the shortages now mean it may take many months to get a bicycle. High demand is not the only reason for the shortage. Many bicycle factories were shut down to stop the spread of COVID-19. The increase in bicycle demand began in March as countries began to close down. In April, the sale of bicycles increased 200 percent in the US.Joe Minutolo is the co-owner of Bar Harbor Bicycle Shop in Maine. He said he hoped the increased sales meant a change in the way people think about transportation. "People are having a chance to rethink things," he said, "Maybewe'll all learn something out of this, and something really good will happen."4.What change has the pandemic caused in Italy?A. More bikes are sold than at Christmas time.B. “Family-style”bicycles are in great need.C. Cars are banned from some central roads.D. New bicycle paths have been built.5.What can we know from Paragraph 4?A. It's impossible to buy a bike.B. Bike factories were closed in April.C. High demand for bikes began in March.D. It takes many months to produce a bike.6.What is Joe Minutolo's attitude towards the increased sales of bicycles?A. Doubtful.B. Positive.C. Uncertain.D. Critical.CA new study recently found that elephants in central African forests can encourage the growth of slow-growing trees and increase the ability of the forest to store carbon. Fabio Berzaghi, who led the study, found that elephants prefer to eat fast-growing trees in more open spaces. As they feed and walk, they cause damage to these species, knocking over trees or breaking off branches, which results in an ecosystem that favors large, slow-growing hardwood trees. "As the elephants thin the forest, they increase the number of slow-growing trees and the forest is capable of storing more carbon," said Stephen Blake, one of the paper's authors.Scientists collected field measurements in the Congo Basin and used a computer model to predict how elephants would affect forest structure, and carbon storage potential in the long term. The data confirmed that when elephants are present, the forest contains larger trees and higher abundances of species with high wood density. On the contrary, should forest elephants go extinct, leaving those slow-growing trees struggling to compete with fast-growing species, it would result in a 7 percent loss of above-ground biomass (生物总量). As a result, central African forests could lose up to three billion tons of carbon, potentially accelerating climate change.The sad reality is that humans are doing their best to rid the planet of elephants. "This study comes at a time when forest elephants are threatened as never before," said Iain Douglas Hamilton, founder of Save the Elephants. "It is shocking that just as we are beginning to understand how elephants might have a key role in Africa in storing carbon, they are under real threat of extinction." One limitation of the study, Mr. Berzaghi said, is that we do not know how much carbon has already been lost because of the elephants' decline. But it does seem certain, he added, that putting a stop to illegal hunting and restoring forest elephant populations would bring climate benefits.7.What can we infer about slow-growing trees in Paragraph 2?A. They are elephants' favorite food.B. They are easily hurt by elephants.C. They can help forests store carbon.D. They may reduce elephant populations.8.What would happen without elephants living in central African forests?A. Climate change would possibly be sped up.B. The forest structure would remain unchanged.C. The forests would lose more fast-growing trees.D. Larger trees would defeat fast-growing species.9.What did Mr. Berzaghi suggest people do?A. Lead a low-carbon life.B. Evaluate the carbon loss.C. Stop destroying forests.D. Protect forest elephants.10.What is the best title for the text?A. Humans and Nature Live in HarmonyB. Elephants Disappear in Parts of AfricaC. Climate Change Affects Forest StructureD. Elephants Defend Against Climate Change第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

第I卷（选择题）第一部分阅读（共两节，满分30分）第一节阅读理解（每小题2分, 共20分）ARemembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.Recite and repeat in conversation. When you hear a person’s name, repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.Ask the other person to recite and repeat. You can let other people help you remember their names. After you’ve been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name an d pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names.Admit you don’t know.Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say. “I’m working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?”Use associations. Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example，you could make a mental note: “Vicki Cheng—tall, black hair.” To reinforce your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.Limit the number of new names you learn at one time. When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.Go early. Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just afew people show upon time. That’s fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others—an automatic review for you.1．How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names?A. They will be moved.B. They will be annoyed.C. They will be delighted.D. They will be discouraged.2．If you can’t remember someone’s name, you may ________.A. tell him the truthB. tell him a white lieC. ask him for pityD. ask others to help you3．What does the text mainly tell us?A. Tips on an important social skill.B. Importance of attendin g parties.C. How to make use of associations.D. How to recite and repeat names.BI was always blamed for watching too much cartoons. As I have said goodbye to my teenage, I shift to watching more movies to prove that I was a grown-up. Surprisingly, I found that movies have something in common with cartoons. They are unrealistic.Sometimes movies give people hope, including the hope of justice, the hope of tomorrow and almost everything else. A great number of people were once touched by certain movies. From time to time, movies try to deliver some decisive ideas to the audience. In this way, movies do cheer up many people to go on with their lives.It seems that there is a set formula in movies. We usually see the hero or heroine in the movies suffer a lot in the opening. Gradually and likely, the destination of them always comes to a turning point. So they have to struggle or make some important choices. Then the movie ends up with a happy finale. Or at least the hero finally manages to face his poor life with great courage somehow. However, when audience watch movies in the cinema, most of them just follow the story. Few of them may ask, “Will it happen in t he real life？”Movies are also imitating the real life. Thus a movie, just like a novel, can never be the same as the real life. The setting of a movie is so ideal that we could hardly find it out in reality. The moviemakers just try their best to persuade the audien ce to believe the story is true. In a word, it is all just make-believe.For quite a long time, I think that the adults’ world is realistic in the oppositeway of the children’s cartoon. However, the movies from the adult world turn out to be a made-up thing. At the very moment, I suddenly realize that movies are somewhat of the adult’s fairy tales or cartoons.To sum up, other than false comfort such as movies and tales, we are more in need of the maturity of mind, so that we can face our lives bravely and correctly.4．With time going on, the author shifts to watching more movies because he thinks that_____.A．They give him hope of justice and tomorrow in lifeB．They are for adult and that he is now an adultC．They help him forget the real worldD．They are similar to cartoons he used to watch5．Which of the following is true about the type of movies the author mentions?A．The hero or heroine simply has met no difficulty at all.B．The hero or heroine is able to deal successfully with any problems.C．Sometimes there are cartoon characters in the movies.D．The au diences know they are simply foolish stories.6．The underlined word “make-believe” in Paragraph 4 probably means_____.A．something imagined to be real B．something too ideal to believe C．a happy ending all the audience desire D．a belief that is based on facts 7．According to the author, which of the following is the side effect of the movies?A．People may be confused by them. B．Movies can usually improve real life.C．Film fans just follow the movie stories. D．False comfort may mislead the audience.CLong-time exposure to air pollution can lead to physical changes in the brain and cause trouble in learning and memory, and even anxiety. This is suggested by the results of new research on mice.While other studies have shown the harmful effects of polluted air in the lungs and heart, this is the first to show the negative effect on the brain.The team of Laura Fonken, Randy Nelson, from the Ohio State University, USA, has spread to the brain a previous line of research which found that fine particulate (微粒) matterfloating in the air mainly because of air pollution caused by humans, causes swelling in much of the b ody, and may be related to high blood pressure problems, and some other diseases.In the research Fonken and his colleagues exposed mice to polluted air for six hours each day, five days a week, over a period of 10 months, almost half the average life length of mice.Polluted air contains fine particles created by cars, factories and natural dust. Fine particles of this kind are tiny, about 2.5 micrometers in diameter, or about one-thirtieth the width of a human hair. These particles can go deep into lungs and other organs.The concentration of this particulate material to which they exposed mice is equal to the concentration at which people can be exposed in some polluted urban areas.After a period of 10 months, the researchers got the animals to have a series of behavioral tests. Both the behavior of mice and the results of neurological(神经的) tests done to them show that those within the polluted air had more problems in learning and memory, and higher levels of anxiety.The results suggest that long-time exposure to polluted air can have measurable negative effects on the human brain and can cause a variety of mental health problems. This could have important consequences for thos e living and working in polluted urban areas. 8．The bad effects of tiny particles in polluted air are those except .A. high blood pressure problemsB. making human hair thinnerC. different kinds of diseasesD. swelling in much of the body9. From the last sentence we can infer that people living in polluted urban areas .A. are likely to suffer from mental problemsB. can measure the negative effect on themC. show little concern for air pollutionD. can be exposed to polluted air longer10．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Long-time Exposure to Air PollutionB. Evidence and Concern of Air PollutionC. Measurable Effect on Human BrainD. Mental Problems Caused by Air Pollution第二节阅读填空（每小题2分, 共10分）.根据内容,选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A school party of 15 students should pay $90 for the standby tickets.BFrom the health point of view we are living in an amazing age. We are free from many of the most dangerous diseases. A large number of once deadly illnesses can now be cured by modern medicine. It is almost certain that one day medicines will be found for the most stubborn remaining diseases. The expectation of life has increased greatly. But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we witness the unbelievable killing of men, women and children on the roads. Man vs the motor-car. It is a never-ending battle which man is losing. Thousands of people the world over are killed or horribly killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen.It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel (方向盘), his car becomes the extension of his personality. There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a man’s very worst qualities．People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind asteering-wheel. They say, they are ill-mannered and aggressive, willful as two-year-olds and completely selfish．All their hidden angers and disappointments seem to be brought to the surface by the act of driving.The surprising thing is that society smiles so gently on the motorist and seems to forgive his behavior. Everything is done for his convenience. Cities are allowed to become almost uninhabitable because of heavy traffic; towns are made ugly by huge car parks; the countryside is ruined by road networks; and the deaths become nothing more than a number every year, to be easily forgotten.It is high time a world rule was created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. With regard to driving, the laws of some countries are unbelievably lax (不严格) and even the strictest are not strict enough. A rule which was universally accepted could only have an obviously beneficial effect on the accident rate．Here are a few examples of some of the things that might be done. The driving test should be standardized and made far more difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years or so; the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21; all vehicles should be put through strict tests for safety each year. Even the smallest amount of alcohol in the blood can damage a person's driving ability. Present drinking and driving laws (where they exist) should be made much stricter. Speed limits should be required on all roads. Governments should lay down safety specifications for car factories, as has been done in the USA. All advertising stre ssing power and performance should be banned. These measures may not sound good enough. But surely nothing should be considered as too severe if it results in reducing the number of deaths. After all, the world is for human beings, not motor-cars.4. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Traffic accidents are mainly caused by motorists.B. Thousands of people the world over are killed each year.C. The laws of some countries about driving are too lax.D. Only stricter traffic laws can prevent accidents.5. What does the author think of society toward motorists?A. Society laughs at the motorists.B. Society forgives their rude driving.C. Victims of accidents are nothing.D. Huge car parks are built in the cities and towns.6. What does the author mean by saying “his car becomes the extension of hispersonality” in Para. 2 ?A. Driving can represent his manners.B. Driving can show the other part of his personality.C. Driving can show his hidden qualitiesD. Driving can bring out his character.7. Which of the followings is NOT mentioned as a way against traffic accidents?A. Build more highwaysB. Stricter driving tests.C. Test drivers every three years.D. Raise age limit and lay down safety specifications.CComputers have been used in teaching for more than twenty years. But a new book says that only now are they changing education. And it predicts that a lot more is about to happen.The book is called “Disrupting Class: How Disruptive Innovation Will Change the Way the World Learns.” “Disruptive Innovation” is a theory developed by lead author Clayton Christensen, a professor at the Harvard Business School. He says organizations almost always use new, creative technology only to continue what they already do.New technology should change organizations, he says, and disrupt them in a good way. They should use the technology to do things differently — for example, to serve more needs. The book says the needed disruptive force in education is computer-based learning.Michael Horn, another author of “Disrupting Class”, told us about a Boston public school that he visited. Every student at Lilla G. Frederick Middle School inDorchester, MassachCusetts, has a laptop computer. One class was learning about storms. Michael Horn says the laptops made it possible to truly individualize (使个人化) the lessons, to divide materials by ability level and learning style. At the end, the stu-dents all took part in a discussion led by the teacher.Computer-based learning offers a way for students to take advanced courses not offered at their school, or to retake classes they failed. It also serves those who cannot physically attend school, and students who receive home schooling.Computer-based learning includes online courses. Enrollments (招生) in online courses have grown sharply. In 2007, the United States had about one million enrollments, not including college courses. Students could be enrolled in more than one course, through schools or education companies. High school students make up about seventy percent of the enrollments. Still, nationally, only about one percent of all high school courses last year were taught online.But the authors of “Disrupting Class” predict it will be ten percent in about six years. And their research suggests that the number will be about fifty percent by 2019. And Michael Horn says the future of online learning could be even greater in developing countries.8. Which of the following is TRUE about the book “Disrupting Class”?A. It was written by more than one author.B. It thinks the computer affects students’ studies.C. It introduces a new scientific technology to readers.D. It has been a best-seller since it was published.9. Paragraph 4 is written to show _____.A. how modern the Boston public school isB. how clever the American students areC. how well the American teachers teachD. what computer-based le arning is like10. From the last two paragraphs, we can infer the authors of “Disrupting Class” think that _____.A. more and more students are interested in “Disrupting Class”B. en rollments in online courses haven’t grown recentlyC. more and more high school courses will be taught onlineD. those who take online courses are mainly college students11. The passage is mainly about _____.A. a new bookB. some American writersC. a new learning wayD.the advantages of computersDThe idea of “law” exists in every culture. All societies have some kind of law to keep order and to control the interactions of people with those around them. The laws of any culture tell people three things: what they can do (their right), what they must do (their duties), and what they may not do. In addition, there are usually specific types of punishment for those who break the law.Although all societies have laws, not all have the same idea of justice—which is “right” and “wrong” and how “wrong” should be punished. In most Western cultures, it is thought that punishing criminals will prevent them from committing other crimes. Also, it is hoped that the fear of punishment will act as a deterrent(威慑) that prevents other people from committing similar crimes; in other words, people who are considering a life of crime will decide against it because of fear of punishment. In most non-Western cultures, by contrast, punishment is not seen as a deterrent. Instead, great importance is placed on restoring balance in the situation. A thief, for example, may be ordered to return the things he has stolen instead of, as in Western societies, spending time in prison.Another difference in the concept of justice lies in various societies’ ideas of what laws are. In the West, people consider “laws” quite different from “customs”. There is also a great contrast between “sins” (breaking religious laws) and “crimes” (breaking laws of the government). In ma ny non-Western cultures, on the other hand, there is little separation of customs, laws, and religious beliefs; in o ther cultures, these three may be quite separate from one another, but still very much different from those in the West. For these reasons, an action may be considered a crime in one country, but be socially acceptable in others. For instance, althougha thief is viewed as a criminal in much of the world, in a small village where there is considerable communal（公共的） living and sharing of objects, the word thief may have little meaning. Someone who has taken something without asking is simply considered an impolite person.Most countries have two kinds of law: criminal and civil. People who have been accused of acts such as murder or theft are heard in the criminal justice system, while civil justice deals with people who are believed to have violated others’ rights. The use of the civil system reflects the values of the society in which it exists. In the United States where personal, individual justice is considered very important, civil law has become “big business.” There are over 600,000 lawyers in the United States, and many of them keep busy with civil lawsuits; that is, they work for people who want to sue others. If a man falls over a torn rug in a hotel and breaks his arm, for instance, he might decide to sue the hotel owners so that they will pay his medical costs. In a country like Japan, by contrast, there is very little use of the civil justice system. Lawsuits are not very popular in Japan, where social harmony is even more important than individual rights, and where people would rather reach agreement outside court.12. The main point of paragraph 1 is that____.A. all societies, Western or non-Western, have some kind of law to keep order.B. most countries in the world have two kinds of law “criminal and civil ”C. there are usually specific types of punishment for those who break the law.D. the laws of any culture dictate people’s rights, duties and what they are not supposed to do13. Which is TRUE in most Western cultures?A. A thief may be referred to as an impolite person.B. Punishment has double functions.C. Punishment is not regarded as a deterrent.D. There is lots of communal living and sharing of objects.14. Which statement is NOT true according to the article?A. In the West, there is little difference between “sins” and “crimes”.B. In the West, people think laws and customs are rather different.C. An action that is considered a crime in one country may be socially acceptable in another.D.There is far less use of the civil justice system in Japan than in the United States.15. Which of the following cases are not heard in the criminal justice system?A. Robbing a pedestrian.B. Kidnapping people for ransom.C. Breaking into a bank.D. Failing to pay back the money.第二部分完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)I’m someone who never went to university but always thought about it.

AThere have been times in my life when I felt satisfied. Sometimes it was because I achieved agoal I had set. Sometimes it was because I overcame a fear or passeda test. However, every time I feel that way, I learn again that full isn’ t full.When I was a little boy, I felt that the love I had for my mom and dad, andthe love they had for me, just filled me up. Surely in a house full of nine peoplelived a young boy who loved and was loved as fully as a person could stand.Imaginemy surprise as I then extended (扩大影响) that love to my grandparents, my uncle&aunt, cousins, etc. As I grew older, I met and married a beautiful woman that Ithought entirely filled me up with love. I could not imagine there would be any moreroom. Then a few short years later we added one daughter and then anotherdaughter to our family. Again, I had room to love and be loved. See what I mean?Every time I feel that life and love are as good as they can get, they get better.There is a lesson here for us. We ought to always have a heart that is opento expanding.To do more, love more,live more, learn more, overcome more, forgivemore and the list could go on. Each of us knows 100 stories about men and womenwho have proved the impossible to be possible.Every day we stand at the crossroadand must decide if we are going to be a better person today than we were yesterday.You are not full yet. Young or old, there is still room for more.1.What does the underlined sentence mean?A. I can do it in a better way.B. These difficulties are really too hard.C. Something disappointing always happens.D. There always seems to be a little more room.2.According to Para. 2, what did the author mistakenly believe at first?A. His room was not big enough.B.

TV guideB. news reportC. life magazineD. job advertisementBMany years ago three soldiers, hungry and tired of battle, came upon a smallvillage.The villagers,suffering a bad harvest and the many years of war,quickly hid what little they had to eat and met the three in the village square, shakingtheir heads and sighing,“ Well,we are starving.” The soldiers communicated with each other quietly and then the first soldier turned to the villagers.“ Your poor fields have left you nothing to share, so we will share what little we have: thesecret of making soup from stones.”Naturally the villagers were intrigued and soon a fire was built to the village ’s greatest pot, and then the soldiers dropped in three smooth stones.“ Now this will be a fine soup,” said the second soldier,“ but a handful of salt and some parsley ( 香芹 )would make it wonderful!” Up jumped a villager,crying “ What a piece of luck! I’ ve just remembered where some has been left!”And off she ran, returning with parsley. As the pot was boiling, the memoryof the villagers improved: soon carrots, beef and cream had found their way intothe great pot. They ate and danced and sang well into the night, thrilled aboutthe feast and their new-found friends. In the morning the three soldiers awoke,finding all the villagers standing before them. At their feet lay a bag of thevillage ’s best bread and cheese.“ You have given us the greatest gift,” said an elder, “ and we shall never forget.” The third soldier turned to the crowd,and said, “ There is no secret, but this is certain: people working together canaccomplish great things.” At last the light dawned on villagers.Off the soldiers wandered, down the road.4.The villagers hid food at first mainly because _________.A. they didn ’ t want to share their little foodB. they had a poor harvest that yearC. they had nothing to eat at allD. they were sick of soldiers5.What does the underlined word“ intrigued ” probably mean?A.

Researchers at the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) found evidence that drinks at temperatures above 65℃, when swallowed, can cause cancer of the esophagus（食道）. The researchers examined findings from other studies where tea and coffee were often served at 70℃ or above. Those studies were completed in Iran, China and South America.In developed countries, health experts have linked esophageal cancer to smoking and alcoholic drinks. However, this form of cancer is more common in areas where people drink beverages（饮料）at very high temperatures.In Europe and the United States, many people drink coffee and tea at temperatures around 60℃.And they often add milk which lowers the temperature greatly. However, tea-drinkers in Iran and mate-drinkers in South America often enjoy their beverages at closer to 70℃.The researchers find that South Americans not only drink their mate very hot, they also drink it through a metal straw. This sends the scalding liquid directly into the throat.The findings, however, are good news for coffee drinkers. In 1991, the World Health Organization (WHO) listed coffee as possibly carcinogenic（致癌的）. The WHO officials have since changed their position on that listing. They now suggest that the temperature of your hot drink is a greater risk factor than the actual drink.The results suggest that drinking very hot beverages is one probable cause of esophageal cancer and that it is the temperature, rather than the drinks themselves, that appears to be responsible.7 . What might be the cause of esophageal cancer in developed countries?A．Smoking.B．Alcoholic drinks.C．Unhealthy vegetables.D．Hot drinks.8 . Where do tea-drinkers like adding milk?A．In China.B．In Iran.C．In Europe.D．In South Africa .9 . What does the underlined word “scalding” in paragraph 5 mean?A．sweet.B．cold.C．hot .D．tasteless.10 . Which of the following descriptions is TRUE?A．Once, the WHO thought coffee would cause cancer.B．Drinks below 60℃ can cause esophagus cancer.C．Temperature should not be the cause of cancer.D．Drinking milk is a much healthier way to keep away from cancer.二、七选五(★) How to read more and learn moreThese days, more and more Chinese people enjoy sending and receiving messages on the phone. It can help them to get the latest news and communicate with friends. But I think I should read more books besides the textbooks, the more, the better. It can broaden my mind and improve my language skills. 11 . Here are some tips for you.Clear your purpose for reading.12 . Most people read for two main reasons, pleasure or knowledge. Clearing about your reading purpose can not only help you choose the books you really need to read, but also remind you why reading the book is important to you, so you will keep reading and complete the book faster.13 .No matter what you are reading, it is important to enjoy what you read.

But while you are reading them, there may still be some books that you don’t enjoy reading. Whenever you realize that you aren’t enjoying the book you are reading, give it up. 14 .Set a reading goal.It is interesting that I read the books borrowed from libraries faster than those I bought.

AA1. The card above is .A.a ticketB. a postcardC. an invitationD. an advertisement2.The party is for .A.a birthdayB. a queenC. bee watchingD. the national day3.According to the card, if you are unable to go, you can . A.return the cardB.visit the MuseumC.ignore the messageD.contact Alice’s motherBWhen I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother’s Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service,pretended not to understand her,or even acted as if they did not hear her.My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was her. I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人).I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs.Tan...” And my mother was standing beside me,whispering loudly, “Why he don’t send me check already two weeks ago.”And then, in perfect English I said, “I’m getting rather concerned.You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.”Then she talked more loudly. “What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can’t tolerate any more excuse. If I don’t receive the check immediately, I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs.Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.4.Why was the author’s mother poorly served?A. She was unable to speak good English.B. She was often misunderstood.C. She was not clearly heard.D. She was not very polite.5.What does the author think of her mother’s English now?A. It confuses her.B. It embarrasses her.C. It helps her understand the world.D. It helps her tolerate rude people.6.We can infer from the passage that Chinese English . .A. is clear and natural to non-native speakersB. is vivid and direct to non-native speakersC. has a very bad reputation in AmericaD. may bring inconvenience in AmericaCWhat should you think about when trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English maybe good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work.You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had apart-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background.You should not ignore it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.7. What is the passage mainly about?A. The importance of working hard at school.B. Choosing a career according to one’s strengths.C. How to face one’s weakness.D. The value of school work.8. The writer thinks that a student’s part-time job is probably_____.A. a good way to find out his weak pointsB. one of the best ways of earning extra moneyC. of great use for his work in the futureD. a waste of time he could have spent on study9. From the passage we learn that if a student’s school performance is not good, he ______.A. should pay more attention to learning skills and developing abilitiesB. will be regretful about his bad resultsC. may also do well in his future workD. should restart his study at school10. The underlined phrase “be all thumbs” (in Para.3) probably means “______”.A. be clumsy at doing thingsB. be skillful in doing thingsC. be not interested in certain thingsD. be easily bored in doing things第二节阅读填空（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
