And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what "keeping up with the Joneses" is about. It is the storyof someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $ 125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants. Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They had to move back to an apartment in New York City. Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it "Keeping up with the Joneses" because "Jones" is a very common name in the United States. "Keeping up with the Joneses" came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand's series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses.

So it was very excited to spend money on shopping, nights out, and all the junk food my mum had never let me eat. I managed to max out (达到最高限度) my account within three months and suddenly life wasn’t so much fun.I spent the last two weeks before Easter on a diet of porridge and became self-loathing (自我憎恨的) and I also blamed Asda (阿斯达超市) for all the two-for-one deals I couldn’t resist. Now I’m working full-time to repay my debts. I’m also setting up a separate bank account for my student loan to go into to cover rent and bills. So I’ll be able to keep an eye on my spending.With a lot of hard work and saving over the holidays I’m hoping that I’ll be in better financial shape for next year. After my experience in halls — being kept awake until 4 a.m. and work surfaces permanently covered in mind —I’m looking forward to moving into a house with friends. The partying and social life in halls are fantastic, but sometimes you’re put with people you don’t get on with, and it’s hard to cope with that. It helped me to stay strong, but I wish I had stood up to them rather than felt bullied.I had a really bad time in my first year, which i s why I’m going to make the most of university next year. I’m going to balance work with a social life, hit Freshers’ week hard and join some societies. With university handing me so many opportunities on a plate, I want to take up as many as I can and enjoy myself.1、The author could do so much shopping as a freshman because ________.A．she was permitted to overdraft from the bankB．her parents sent her money through the bankC．she wanted to max out her accountD．she could work full-time2、What can we infer from the second paragraph about the author?A．She enjoyed eating porridge for her meals.B．She had to work to pay for her education fee.C．She regretted spending so much money on shopping.D．She wanted to borrow more money for shopping.3、From this text we can see that the author ________.A．gained a lot of money through workingB．didn’t get on well with her workmatesC．felt bullied by her friendsD．worked and slept in a bad condition4、The author made up her mind to ________ next year.A．make good use of her university life B．find a better jobC．take up more plates D．form some organizations5、The author mainly introduces her ________ in the passage.A．opportunities at first year of universityB．freshman experiences at universityC．working experiences at universityD．thoughts on her daily Spending24．（8分）Many of us mistakenly believe that it’s wrong to think we have any good qualities. We may spend a lot of time blaming ourselves for our negative qualities, thinking that self criticism is the key to improving our performance. However, a constant focus on our supposed shortcomings can stop our efforts to make friends with other people. How can we believe that others could like us if we believe our inner being is flawed (有缺陷)?If someone seems to dislike you, the reason for that dislike might have little or nothing to do with you. The person who doesn’t like you might be fearful, or shallow, or busy or shy. Perhaps you and that person are simply a mismatch for each other at this particular time.Don’t take yourself out of the game by deciding that your flaws are bigger than your good qualities. In fact, some of the very qualities you consider to be flaws may be irresistible to someone else. For all the factors that might cause one person to reject you, there are at least as many factors that will work in your favor with someone else.You might be thirty pounds over your ideal weight, but you may have a wonderful laugh and a real enthusiasm for life. There are many people who don’t mind your extra pounds. You may drive a shabby car, but you might be a great dancer and a loyal friend. There are people out there looking for loyalty, or fun, or sweetness, or wisdom, and the package it comes in is not important. If you are worried that you are not beautiful enough to attract friends, keep in mind that not everyone is looking for physical beauty in their friends. You can decide to feel inferior (自卑) because you don’t have much money and you don’t drive a nice car. You can believe that this is the reason that you don’t have many friends in your life. On the other hand, if you are very wealthy you may be suspicious that everyone is after your money and that nobody really likes you as a person.The point is that you can focus on just about anything and believe it’s the reason you do not have friends and cannot make any.1、According to the author plays an important role in making friends.A．admitting your shortcomings B．self criticismC．modesty D．confidence2、If you are not liked by a person, .A．you should find the reason in yourselfB．you’d better talk with the person face to faceC．you may not be the one to be blamedD．you and that person misunderstand each other3、We can learn from the third paragraph that .A．your good qualities may turn out to be your flawsB．your weakness may also be your strengths in some wayC．your negative qualities cause a person to reject youD．you’ll have few friends if your flaws are bigger than your good qualities4、Which of the following is true according to the author?A．It is important to lose weight.B．It is easier for a wealthy person to make friends.C．Inner qualities are more important than physical appearance.D．If you are not beautiful enough, try to improve your physical beauty.25．（10分）In 2011，Amy Chua put out the book，Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother，which is her memoir （回忆录）about the challenges of being a parent and trying to keep to the strict upbringing（养）she knew as a child. Controversy over the book arose because many readers did not get the impression that Chua was trying to be humorous about her parenting methods. There was also miscommunication about the purpose of the book. Many received it as a guide for other parents on how to use strict methods to punish and motivate their children. However，Chua has always claimed the aim of her book was only to share her successes and failures as a parent in a culturally diverse world.In the book，Chua compares Western and Chinese beliefs and methods of parenting. In general，Chinese parents believe a child's academic success is directly linked to parenting skills. It is common for such parents to take severe measures to make their children do exactly what they say. In contrast，Western parents worry more about their children's self-esteem（自尊），which drives their parenting methods. As a result，parenting methods have become less strict and children are not held to the high standards they were in the past.Interestingly，in the West，many people agree that Western parenting methods could use improvement. Some even say that the laid-back Western methods can be just as damaging as the overly strict ones Chua connects with Chinese culture because more and more children are not learning how to face and overcome challenges. However，experts also say that being too strict with children can cause rebellion（反叛），low self-esteem and poor parent-child relationships.What everyone can agree on is that there is no perfect way to parent. What's more a method that works with one child will not necessarily work with another. Parents are challenged with finding the best method that helps each child learn to be a responsible and confident person.1、What do we know about Amy Chua's book?A．It amused readers greatly.B．It caused a serious debate.C．It's about a tiger and its mother.D．It's popular with both parents and kids.2、Why did Amy Chua write the book?A．To share her experience as a mom.B．To tell interesting stories to children.C．To introduce her research on parenting.D．To help other parents educate their children.3、What's the maid idea of Paragraph 2?A．What is most important for children.B．How to help children to succeed in school.C．The importance of mastering parenting skills.D．Differences between upbringing in China and the West.4、What result might the Western parenting method bring about?A．Children's academic success.B．More positive attitudes toward life.C．Bad relationships between parents and children.D．Children's lack of experience in dealing with difficulties.5、Which of the following may the author agree on?A．One parenting method doesn't work with all children.B．A perfect way to parent is easy to find as long as parents work hard.C．Western parenting methods are better than those in China.D．Chinese parents are more worried about their children's self-esteem.第三部分语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．26．（30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
