            • 1. Dear Alfred,
              I want to tell you how important your help is to my life.
              Growing up,I had people telling me I was too slow,though,with an IQ of 150 at 17,I’m anything but stupid.The fact was that I was found to have ADIID(注意力缺陷多动障碍).Anxious all the time,I was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time.
              However,when something did interest me,I could become absorbed.In high school,I became curious about the computer,and built my first website.Moreover,I completed the senior course of Computer Basics,plus five relevant pre-college courses.
              While I was exploring my curiosity,my disease got worse.I wanted to go to college after high school,but couldn’t.So,I was killing my time at home until June 2012when I discovered the online computer courses of your training center.
              Since then,I have taken courses like Data Science and Advanced Mathematics.Currently,I’m learning your Probability course.I have hundreds of printer paper,covered in self-written notes from your video.This has given me a purpose.
              Last year,I spent all my time looking for a job where,without dealing with the public,I could work alone,but still have a team to talk to.Luckily,I discovered the job-Data Analyst-this month and have been going full steam ahead.I want to prove that I can teach myself a respectful profession,without going to college,and be just as good as,if not better than,my competitors.
              Thank you.You’ve given me hope that I can follow my heart.For the first time,I feel good about myself because I’m doing something,not because someone told me I was doing good.I feel whole.
              This is why you’re saving my life.
              Yours,
              Tanis

            • 3. When people introduce themselves,I always hear them say“I'm just a housewife“.I don't understand why their introduction is always filled with regret and self-pity.Is it,really a crime to be a housewife?Is it really embarrassing when you choose not to work outside and instead choose to work in  your home?
              How could you be“just a housewife“when the basic social unit of society depends on you and your service?A housewife works for the longest hour,supporting your husband,child studies,caring for eld-ers,managing finances,paying bills,grocery shopping,cooking according to individual taste-,cleaning,etc.
              A housewife could be anyone:daughter,wife,mother,teacher,financial advisor,fashion designer and nurse,gardener,driver,cook,and so on.Don't think you are not being paid for it.You~;et the re-ward that no money can offer-the love and affection of your family,their trust洒 you,a happy home and your own satisfaction.
              It is you who choose to be in this occupation,willingly or for any other reason.After a busy day,all wait to return to the comfortable home set by you.They know you will be there to absorb all their stress and tiredness and relax them.Would the life have been the same had you been working outside to earn some money?Would you along with your family have been able to buy all the content in life that you are enjoying now with that money?
              Respect yourself for what you are.Introduce yourself to the world with the same dignity.The world understands the importance of your job; it's time to make them accept it.Introduce yourself with pride and with twinkle in your eyes“I am a housewife”.Kick that“just”out.

              32.How do people feel when they say“I'm just a housewife“:?    
              A.Satisfied. B.Proud. C.Regretful. D.Anxious.
              33.Listing the housewife's duties,the author implies a housewife    
              A.usually leads a terrible life
              B.plays a more important role
              C.does not always get her reward
              D.makes a great contribution to the family
              34.If a housewife worked outside,she would    
              A.have the same life like before           B.set a comfortable home for her family
              C.absorb her family's stress               D.lose the content that she is enjoying
              35.What is the author's attitude toward housewives?    
              A.Supportive. B.Doubtful. C.Opposed. D.Tolerant.
            • 4. I was feeling a little blue.My mother had been laid off from her job,but she said she was OK since her boss wasn't the nicest person  (16)    
              I got off the college bus and started walking.That's(17)     I heard piano music and singing rising above the (18)     of the people and the traffic.I walked a little slower (19)     I could find out where it was coming from.(20)     the crowd I saw a young lady sitting at a piano with a (21)      next to her,singing songs about love.The way she was singing  (22)     me a bit.I stood there watching her(23)     for about fifteen minutes,thinking that it must take (24)      to perform on her own in public.
              Feeling my presence,she looked in my (25)    .I walked over and put some money in her carriage.“I have been going through a (26)     time lately,but you’ve made me hopeful again.”
              “I'm happy that I could  (27)    .Why are you so sad?“
              “Well,my mum told got (28)     from her job,but I’m not sure what to do….”
              “You see,the way you were (29)    ,“she explained.“Don't look defeated,(30)      comes in different ways.If your head is down you might never see it.Smile more.(31)      your head up.“
              I smiled slightly,amazed by how she was(32)     me.
              “Why are you playing here?”I asked.
              “I am not making music.I study psychology.I often see many (33)      people and hope to relieve their (34)     and make them think positively by sharing music.”
              I smiled a little wider.She was doing a good thing.My heart was touched by a (35)     soul.
              She explained to me that she sees a lot of negative people in the world and she tries to alleviate the pain and bring more positivity by sharing motivational music.She told me that when she wasn't making music she studied psychology.So,that was how she knew some of the things she was telling me.
              I smiled a little wider because I knew that she was doing a good thing.So,after that we parted,my heart touched and lightened by a musical soul!

            • 5. When Alice was sixteen,I was the one who wanted to run away from home.It was (16)    to see the changes coming over her.She skipped school,and refused to communicate.I tried being firm,but it didn‘t (17)    .I saw a dark future for my once sweet daughter.

            • 6. Some years ago on a hot summer day in south Florida a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole behind his house.
              In a hurry to dive into the cool water,he ran out the back door,leaving behind shoes,socks,and shirt as he went.He flew into the water,not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake,an alligator(短吻鳄) was swimming toward the shore.His mother-in the house was looking out the window-saw the two as they got closer and closer together.In utter fear,she ran toward the water,yelling to her son as loudly as she could.
              Hearing her voice,the little boy became alarmed and made a return to swim to his mother.It was too late.Just as he reached her,the alligator reached him.
              From the dock,the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched his legs.Then began an incredible tug-of-war between the two.The alligator was much stronger than the mother,but the mother was much too passionate to let go.A farmer happened to drive by,heard her screams,raced from his truck,took aim and shot the alligator.
              Remarkably,after weeks and weeks in the hospital,the little boy survived.His legs were extremely scarred by the vicious attack of the animal and,on his arms,were deep scratches where his mother's fingernails dug into his flesh in her effort to hang on to the son she loved.
              The newspaper reporter who interviewed the boy after the trauma,asked if he would show him his scars.The boy lifted his pant legs.And then,with obvious pride,he said to the reporter.But look at my arms.I have great scars on my arms,too.I have them because my mom wouldn't let go.
              You and I can identify with that little boy.We have scars,too.No,not from an alligator,or anything quite so dramatic.But,the scars of a painful past.Some of those scars are unsightly and have caused us deep regret.
              But,some wounds,my friend,are because God has refused to let go.In the midst of your struggle,He's been there holding on to you.

              31.What can we infer from Paragraph 2?    
              A.The little boy’s mother was calm when the accident was happening.
              B.The little boy swam toward the middle of the lake because he was good at swimming.
              C.The little boy’s mother was cooking in the house at that time.
              D.The little boy didn’t realize the danger when jumping into the water.
              32.The incredible tug-of-war is between    
              A.the boy and the alligator
              B.the alligator and the mother
              C.the boy and the mother
              D.the alligator and the farmer
              33.What was the boy’s reaction when the reporter asked him to show him his scars?    
              A.He was very angry and refused to do so.
              B.He talked about something else.
              C.He showed the reporter his scars on his arms proudly.
              D.He was very upset but still showed the reporter his scars.
              34.What can we learn from Paragraph 6?    
              A.We all have scars for different reasons and in different forms.
              B.Alligator is a dangerous animal.
              C.Past will leave us painful scars.
              D.Unsightly scars will surely cause us deep regret.
              35.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?    
              A.Tug-of-war between an alligator and a mother
              B.A lucky boy saved from an alligator
              C.Painful past for everyone
              D.Holding a positive attitude toward scars in life.

When I began planning to move to Auckland to study,my mother was a little worried about the uncertainty of living in a place that was so different from India,where we lived.She worried particularly about the lack of jobs and cultural differences and the chance that I would face racism.
              Despite these concerns,I came to New Zealand in July 2009.I have found the place and the people very nice and supportive.Soon after I arrived,I realized the importance of getting a job to supply my living expenses.
              Determined to do this on my own,I spent a whole day going from door to door for a job.However,I received little or no response(回应).
              One afternoon,I walked into a building to ask if there were any job opportunities(机会).The people there were very surprised and advised me not to continue my job search in that manner.As I was about to leave,a clerk in the building,who had been listening to what others had said,approached me and asked me to wait outside.Fifteen minutes later,he returned,He asked me what my plans were and encouraged me to stay confident.Then he offered to take me to Royal Oak to search for a job.
              I was a little surprised,but had a good feeling about him,so I went along.Along the way,I realized that I had run out of resumes(简历).Seeing this,the man stopped at his business partner’s office to make me fifteen extra copies.He also gave me tips on dressing and speaking and added that I should give him a call if I ever needed anything.I handed out my resume and went home feeling very satisfied.The following day,I received a call from a store in Royal Oak offering me a job.
              It seems that the world always gives back to you when you need it.And this time,it was a complete stranger who turned out to be a real blessing.

              24.What wasn’t the author’s mother worried about?    
              A.People might look down on the author.
              B.The author couldn’t speak the local language.
              C.The author wasn’t familiar with the local customs.
              D.It might be difficult for the author to find a job.
              25.After staying in New Zealand for a short time,the author    
              A.decided to go back to his own country.
              B.felt the local people were not very friendly
              C.had to find a job to cover his living expenses
              D.wanted to get a job that needed practical skills
              26.When the author went into a building to look for a job,    
              A.a clerk gave him encouragement and advice
              B.he was confident that he would find a good one
              C.he found many college students like him already there
              D.a clerk recommended him to the company he worked for
              27.What is the story mainly about?    
              A.How a stranger offered the author a job.
              B.How a stranger turned out to be a real blessing.

            • 8. Some years ago,writing in my diary used to be a usual activity.I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day’s events,feelings,and impressions in my little blue diary.I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words,but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper.After all,isn’t accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?
                When I was thirteen years old,I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley,well-equipped with pens,a diary,and a camera.During the trip,I was busy recording every incident,name and place I came across.I felt proud to be spending my time productively,dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels.On my last night there,I wandered out of my tent,diary in hand.The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon,and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows.I automatically took out my pen….
                At that point,I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley.All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.
                Now,I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling.I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books,or observations that are particularly meaningful.I take pictures,but not very often-only of objects I find really beautiful.I’m no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old.I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera,busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.
                I don’t want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes.Maybe I won’t have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe I’ll forget certain facts,but at least the experiences will always remain inside me.I don’t live to make memories-I just live,and the memories form themselves.
              51.Before the age of thirteen,the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of    
              A.observing her school routine                            
              B.expressing her satisfaction
              C.impressing her classmates                                
              D.preserving her history
              52.What caused a change in the author’s understanding of keeping a diary?    
              A.A dull night on the journey.
              B.The beauty of the great valley.
              C.A striking quotation from a book.
              D.Her concerns for future generations.
              53.What does the author put in her diary now?    
              A.Notes and beautiful pictures.
              B.Special thoughts and feelings.
              C.Detailed accounts of daily activities.
              D.Descriptions of unforgettable events.
              54.The author comes to realize that to live a meaningful life is    
              A.to experience it                                               
              B.to live the present in the future
              C.to make memories                                           
              D.to give accurate representations of it.

            • 10. I needed to buy a digital camera,one that was simply good at taking good snaps (快照),maybe occasionally for magazines.Being the cautious type,I fancied a reliable brand.So I went on the net,spent 15minutes reading product reviews on good websites,wrote down the names of three top recommendations and headed for my nearest big friendly camera store.There in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list.And it was on special offer.Oh joy.I pointed at it and asked an assistant,“Can I have one of those?”He looked perturbed (不安).“Do you want to try it first?“he said.It didn't quite sound like a question.“Do I need to?“I replied.“There's nothing wrong with it?“This made him look a bit insulted and I started to feel bad.“No,no.But you should try it,“he said encouragingly.“Compare it with the others.“
                 I looked across at the others:shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall,offering a wide range of slightly different prices and discounts,with each company selling a range of models based around the same basic box.With so many models to choose from,it seemed that I would have to spend hours weighing X against Y,always trying to take Z and possibly H into account at the same time.But when I had finished,I would still have only the same two certainties that I had entered the store with:first,soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop,it would be worth half what I paid for it; and second,my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new model.
                But something in the human soul whispers that you can beat these traps by making the right choice,the clever choice,the wise choice.In the end,I agreed to try the model I had chosen.The assistant seemed a sincere man.So I let him take out my chosen camera from the cupboard,show how it took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppers…and when he started to introduce the special features,I interrupted to ask whether I needed to buy a carry-case and a memory card as well.
                 Why do we think that new options (选择) still offer us anything new?Perhaps it is because they offer an opportunity to avoid facing the fact that our real choices in this culture are far more limited than we would like to imagine.

              57.The shop assistant insisted that the writer should    
              A.try the camera to see if there was anything wrong with it
              B.compare the camera he had chosen with the others
              C.get more information about different companies
              D.trust him and stop asking questions
              58.What does the writer mean by“it would be worth half what I paid for it“(Paragraph 2)?    
              A.He should get a 50% discount.
              B.The price of the camera was unreasonably high.
              C.The quality of the camera was not good.
              D.The camera would soon fall in value.
              59.The writer decided to try the model he had chosen because he    
              A.knew very little about it
              B.didn't trust the shop assistant
              C.wanted to make sure the one he chose would be the best
              D.had a special interest in taking pictures of his fellow shoppers
              60.It can be inferred from the passage that in the writer's opinion,    
              A.people waste too much money on cameras
              B.cameras have become an important part of our daily life
              C.we don't actually need so many choices when buying a product
              D.famous companies care more about profit than quality.
