            • 1. I used to abandon myself to despair.Last year my mother(41)    from a stroke(中风) and had had an operation on her brain.I felt my whole world turn upside down and I had no(42)    what I could do to help her to relieve her(43)    .Tears welled up in my eyes whenever I was alone.

              There have been many(46)    like these in my life.I could never figure out how to deal with such tough things(47)    I read“If You Have a Lemon.Make a Lemonade”by American writer Dale Caenegic.
              “When the wise man is handed a lemon,he says,‘What (48)    can I get from this?How can I(49)     my situation?How can I turn this lemon into a lemonade?’”he wrote.

            • 2. This afternoon,I spoke with Governor Malloy and FBI Director Mueller.I offered Governor Malloy my condolences(吊唁,慰问) on behalf of the nation,and made it clear that he will have every single resource that he needs (33)    (investigate) this heinous(令人发指的)crime,care for the victims,comfort their families.
              (34)     (endure) too many of these tragedies in the past few years.And each time I learn the news I react not as a President,but as anybody else would-as a parent.And that was especially true today.I know there’s not a parent in America who doesn’t feel the same overwhelming grief that I do.
              The majority of those (35)     died today were children-beautiful little kids between the ages of 5and 10years old.They had their entire lives ahead of them-birthdays,graduations,weddings,kids of their own.Among the (36)     (fall) were also teachers-men and women who devoted their lives to (37)     (help) our children fulfill their dreams.
              So our hearts are broken today-for the parents and grandparents,sisters and brothers of these little children,and for the families of the adults who (38)     (lose).Our hearts are broken for the parents of the survivors as well,for as blessed as they are to have their children home tonight,they know that their children’s innocence has been torn away from them too early,and there are no words that will ease their pain.
              As a country,we have been through this too many times.(39)     it’s an elementary school in Newtown,or a shopping mall in Oregon,or a temple in Wisconsin,or a movie theater in Aurora,or a street corner in Chicago-these neighborhoods are our neighborhoods,and these children are our children.And we’re going to have to come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies (40)     this,regardless of the politics.
            • 3. Someone recently asked me when I became more confident about my abilities as an entrepreneur.I thought it was a funny question,(36)     I’not very confident at all,and constantly filled with (37)     about every decision I make.
              It doesn’t exactly hold me back in my work; it’s just that I am very (38)    of what I do,and I’m always (39)     on the way I work,think and talk.I have also learned over the years that making a decision is often more important than making the(40)     decision.Preferably your decisions are the right ones,but inaction or indecisiveness is more (41)     than making the wrong decisions every now and then.
              There is one thing I have learned over the years that I wish I had learned earlier in my career.And that is the (42)     that I am not stupid.
              It sounds logical,but I often sat in on meetings and heard people explain things and then (43)     to myself,“I don’t understand that.Maybe I’m stupid?”or I would hear about a startup and I wouldn’t (44)     their business model and think I’m stupid.Or I would hear an entrepreneur speak and think,“That all like (45)     bullshit,but I must be stupid,because other people seem to love it.”
              A couple of years ago,I came to the (46)     that I was not stupid at all.When people in meetings say things I don’t’understand I (47)     up and tell them so.Usually,I hear a sigh of (48)     in the room and find out nobody understood what was being talked about.
              When I don’t understand a business model it usually means there is not one,or it (49)    .Turns out I’m not stupid and (50)     I don’t understand it,most people won’t understand it at all.(51)     doubting my own abilities I’ve learned to (52)     my“bullshit radar”a bit more and not understanding something is a clear sign that something is (53)    
              My advice to young entrepreneurs is this:you are not stupid!If something does not make(54)    ,if it sounds stupid,if you don’t understand it,something is wrong!Trust your gut(本能的) (55)    .Feel free not to know and be honest when you don’t’understand something!

            • 4. I had worried myself sick over Simon’s mother coming to see me.I was a new (21)    ,and I gave an honest account of the students’work.In Simon’s case,the grades were awfully low.He couldn’t read his own handwriting.(22)     he was a bright student.He discussed adult subjects with nearly adult comprehension.His work in no way reflected his(23)    
                So when Simon’s mother entered the room,my palms(手掌心) were sweating.I was completely(24)     for her lisses on both my cheeks.“I came to thank you,”she said,surprising me beyond speech.(25)     me,Simon had become a different person.He talked of how he(26)     me,he had began to make friends,and for the first time in his twelve years,he had (27)     spent an afternoon at a friend’s house.She wanted to tell me how grateful she was for the(28)    I had nurtured(培养) in her son.She kissed me again and left.
                I sat,stunned (惊呆),for about half an hour,(29)     what had just happened.How did I make such a life-changing difference to that boy without (30)     knowing it?What I finally came to(31)     was one day,several months before,when some students were(32)     reports in the front of the class,Jeanne spoke(33)    ,and to encourage her to raise her voice,L had sai,“Speak up.Simon’s the expert on this.He is the (34)     one you have to convince,and he can’t hear you in the(35)     of the room.”That was it.From that day on,Simon had sat up straighter,paid more attention,(36)     more,and became happy.And it was all because he(37)    to be the last kid in the last row.The boy who most needed (38)     was the one who took the last seat that day.

            • 5. A city child’s summer is spent in the street in front of his home,and all through the long summer vacations I sat on the edge of the street and watched enviously the other boys on the block play baseball.I was never asked to take part even when one team had a member missing-not out of special cruelty,but because they took it for granted I would be no good at it.They were right,of course.
                I would never forget the wonderful evening when something changed.The baseball ended about eight or eight thirty when it grew dark.Then it was the custom of the boys to retire to a little stoop(门廊) that stuck out from the candy store on the corner and that somehow had become theirs.No grownup ever sat there or attempted to.There the boys would sit,mostly talking about the games played during the day and of the game to be played tomorrow.Then long silences would fall and the boys would wander off one by one.It was just after one of those long silences that my life as an outsider changed.I can no longer remember which boy it was that summer evening who broke the silence with a question:but whoever he was,I nod to him gratefully now.“What’s in those books you’re always reading?”he asked casually.“Stories,”I answered.“What kind?”asked somebody else without much interest.
                Nor do I know what drove me to behave as I did,for usually I just sat there in silence,glad enough to be allowed to reain among them; but instead of answering his question,I told them for two hours the story I was reading at the moment.The book was Sister Carrie.They listened bug-eyed and breathless.I must have told it well,but I think there was another and deeper reason that made them to keep an audience.Listening to a tale being told in the dark is one of the most ancient of man’s entertainments,but I was offering them as well,without being aware of doing it,a new and exciting experience.
                The books they themselves read were the Rover Boys or Tom Swift or G.A.Henty.I had read them too,but at thirteen I had long since left them behind.Since I was much alone I had become an enthusiastic reader and I had gone through the books-for-boys series.In those days there was no reading material between children’s and grownups’books or I could find none.I had gone right from Tome Swift and His Flying Machine to Theodore Dreiser and Sister Carrie.Dreiser had hit my young mind,and they listened to me tell the story with some of the wonder that I had had in reading it.
                The next night and many nights thereafter,a kind of unspoken ritual (仪式) took place.As it grew dark,I would take my place in the center of the stoop and begin the evening’s tale.Some nights,in order to taste my victory more completely,I cheated.I would stop at the most exciting part of a story by Jack London or Bret Harte,and without warning tell them that that was as far as I had gone in the book and it would have to be continued the following evening.It was not true,of course; but I had to make certain of my new-found power and position.I enjoyed the long summer evenings until school began in the fall.Other words of mine have been listened to by larger and more fashionable audiences,but for that tough and athletic one that sat close on the stoop outside the candy store,I have an unreasoning love that will last forever.
              55.Watching the boys playing baseball,the writer must have felt    
              A.bitter and lonely                            B.special and different
              C.pleased and excited                         D.disturbed and annoyed
              56.The writer feels grateful even now to the boy who asked the question because the boy    
              A.invited him to join in their game
              B.liked the book that he was reading
              C.broke the long silence of that summer evening
              D.offered him an opportunity that changed his life
              57.According to Paragraph 3,story-telling was popular among the boys basically because    
              A.the story was from a children’s book          
              B.listening to tales was an age-old practice
              C.the boys had few entertainments after dark     
              D.the boys didn’t read books by themselves
              58.The boys were attracted to Sister Carrie because    
              A.it was written by Theodore Dreiser         
              B.it was specifically targeted at boys
              C.it gave them a deeper feeling of pleasure     
              D.it talked about the wonders of the world
              59.Sometimes the writer stopped at the most exciting part of a story to    
              A.play a mean trick on the boys                
              B.experience more joy of achievement
              C.add his own imagination to the story

            • 6. Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family,and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck.I’m not going to say luck,talent,and circumstances don’t come into play because they do.Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence,and that’s just the reality of how life is.
              However,to succeed in life,one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical.And,in addition to that,in order to get really good at something,one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing.To become great at certain things,it’ll require even more time,time that most people won’t put in.
              This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love.If you don’t enjoy what you do,it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.
              When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success,you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost.It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent,but thinking that way does you no good,and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.
              Whatever you do,if you want to become great at it,you need to work day in and day out,almost to the point of addiction,and over a long period of time.If you’re not willing to put in the time and work,don’t expect to receive any rewards.Consistent,hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want,but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.
              31.Paragraph 1 mainly talks about    
              A.the reasons for success                                          
              B.the meaning of success
              C.the standards of success                                        
              D.the importance of success
              32.In Paragraph 2,the underlined word that refers to    
              A.being good at something                                      
              B.setting a practical goal
              C.putting in more time                                            
              D.succeeding in life
              33.Successful people suggest doing what one loves because    
              A.work makes one feel pain                                     
              B.one tends to enjoy his work
              C.one gives up his work easily                                  
              D.it takes a lot of time to succeed
              34.What can we infer from Paragraph 4?    
              A.Successful people like to show their great skills.
              B.People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.
              C.People need to achieve success at the cost of life.
              D.It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.
              35.What is the main theme of the passage?    
              A.Having a goal is vital to success.
              B.Being good is different from being great.
              C.One cannot succeed without time and practice.
              D.Luck,talent and family help to achieve success.
            • 7. The morning had been a disaster.My tooth was aching,and I’d been in an argument with a friend.Her words still hurt:“The trouble with you is that you won’t put yourself in my place.Can’t you see things from my point of view?”Ishook my head stubbomly-and felt the ache in my tooth.I’d thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday,but the pain was really unbearable.I started calling the dentists in the phone book,but no one coule see me immediatcly.Finally,at about lunchtime,I got lucky.
              “If you come by right now,”the receptionist said,“the dentist will fit you in.”
              I look my purse and keys and rushed to my car.But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist.What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice?Why wasn’t he as busy as the others?
              In the dentist’s office,I sat down and looked around.I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried.The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.
              When I tole her my fears,she laughed and said,“Don’t worry.The dentist is very good.”
              “How long do I have to wait for him?”I asked impatiently.
              “Come on,he is coming.Just lie down and relax.And enjoy the artwork,”the assistant said.
              “The artwork?”Iwas puzzled.
              The chair went back,suddenly I smiled.There was a beautiful picture,right where I could enjoy it:on the ceiling.How considerate the dentist was!At that moment,I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.
              What a relief!

              56.Which of the following best describes the author’s feeling that morning?    
              A.Cheerful.
              B.Nervous.
              C.Satisfied.
              D.Upset.
              57.What made the author begin to doubt about the dentist?    
              A.The dentist’s agreeing to treat her at very short notice.
              B.The dentist’s being as busy as the other dentists.
              C.The surroundings of the dentist’s office.
              D.The laughing assistant of the dentist.
              58.Why did the author suddenly smile?    
              A.Because the dentist came at last.
              B.Because she saw a picture on the ceiling.
              C.Because she could relax in the chair.
              D.Because the assistant kept comforting her.
              59.What did the author learn from her experience most probably?    
              A.Strike while the iron is hot.
              B.Have a good word for one’s friend
              C.Put oneself in other’s shoes
              D.A friend in need is a friend indeed.
            • 8. You’ve just come home,after living abroad for a few years.Since you’ve been away,has this country changed for the better-or for the worse?
              If you’ve just arrived back in the UK after a fortnight’s holiday,small changes have probably surprised you-anything from a local greengrocer suddenly being replaced by a mobile-phone shop to someone in your street moving house.
              So how have things changed to people coming back to Britain after seven,ten or even 15years living abroad?What changes in society can they see that the rest of us have hardly noticed-or now take for granted?To find out,we asked some people who recently returned.
              Debi:When we left,Cheltenham,my home town,was a town of white,middle-class families-all very conservative (保守的).The town is now home to many eastern Europeans and lots of Australians,who come here mainly to work in hotels and tourism.There are even several shops only for foreigners.
              Having been an immigrant (移民) myself,I admire people who go overseas to find a job.Maybe if I lived in an inner city where unemployment was high,I’d think differently,but I believe foreign settlers have improved this country because they’re more open-minded and often work harder than the natives.
              Christine:As we flew home over Britain,both of us remarked how green everything looked.But the differences between the place we’d left behind and the one we returned to were brought sharply into focus as soon as we landed.
              To see policemen with guns in the airport for the first time was frightening-in Cyprus,they’re very relaxed-and I got pulled over by customs officers just for taking a woolen sweater with some metal-made buttons out of my case in the arrivals hall.Everyone seemed to be on guard.Even the airport car-hire firm wanted a credit card rather than cash because they said their vehicles had been used by bank robbers.
              But anyway,this is still a green,beautiful country.I just wish more people would appreciate what they’ve got.

              51.After a short overseas holiday,people tend to    
              A.notice small changes      B.expect small changes
              C.welcome small changes     D.exaggerate small changes
              52.How does Debi look at the foreign settlers?    
              A.Cautiously.B.Positively.C.Sceptically.D.Critically.
              53.When arriving at the airport in Britain,Christine was shocked by    
              A.the relaxed policemen      B.the messy arrivals hall
              C.the tight security         D.the bank robbers
              54.Which might be the best title for the passage?    
              A.Life in Britain.     B.Back in Britain.
              C.Britain in Future.   D.Britain in Memory.
            • 9. For those who make journeys across the world,the speed of travel today has turned the countries into a series of villages.Distances between them appear no greater to a modern traveler than those which once faced men as they walked from village to village.Jet planes fly people from one end of the earth to the other,allowing them a freedom of movement undreamt of a hundred years ago.
              Yet some people wonder if the revolution in travel has gone too far.A price has been paid,they say,for the conquest (征服) of time and distance. Travel is something to be enjoyed,not endured(忍受).The boat offers leisure and time enough to appreciate the ever-changing sights and sounds of a journey.A journey by train also has a special charm about it.Lakes and forests and wild,open plains sweeping past your carriage window create a grand view in which time and distance mean nothing.On board a plane,however,there is just the blank blue of the sky filling the narrow window of the airplane.The soft lighting,in-flight films and gentle music make up the only world you know,and the hours progress slowly.
              Then there is the time spent being“processed”at a modern airport.People are conveyed like robots along walkways; baggage is weighed,tickets produced,examined and produced yet again before the passengers move to another waiting area.Journeys by rail and sea take longer,yes,but the hours devoted to being“processed”at departure and arrival in airports are luckily absent.No wonder,then,that the modern high-speed trains are winning back passengers from the airlines.
              Man,however,is now a world traveler and cannot turn his back on the airplane.The working lives of too many people depend upon it; whole new industries have been built around its design and operation.The holiday maker,too,with limited time to spend,patiently endures the busy airports and limited space of the flight to gain those extra hours and even days,relaxing in the sun.speed controls people’s lives; time saved,in work or play,is the important thing-or so we are told.Perhaps those first horsemen,riding free across the wild,open plains,were enjoying a better world than the one we know today.They could travel at will,and the clock was not their master.

              71.What does the writer try to express in Paragraph 1?    
              A.Travel by plane has speeded up the growth of villages.
              B.The speed of modern travel has made distances relatively short.

              D.Man has been fond of traveling rather than staying in one place.
              72.How does the writer support the underlined statement in Paragraph 2?    
              A.By giving instructions.
              B.By analyzing cause and effect.
              C.By following the order of time.
              D.By giving examples.
              73.According to Paragraph 3,passengers are turning back to modern high-speed trains because    
              A.they pay less for the tickets
              B.they feel safer during the travel
              C.they can enjoy higher speed of travel
              D.they don’t have to waste time being“processed”
              74.What does the last sentence of the passage mean?    
              A.They could enjoy free and relaxing travel.
              B.They needed the clock to tell the time.
              C.They preferred traveling on horseback.
              D.They could travel with their master.
              75.What is the main idea of the passage?    
              A.Air travel benefits people and industries.
              B.Train Travel has some advantages over air travel.
              C.Great changes have taken place in modern travel.
              D.The high speed of air travel is gained at a cost.
            • 10. In the animal kingdom,weakness can bring about aggression in other animal.This sometimes happens with humans also.But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people.I see it every day when people hold doors for me,pour cream into my coffee,or help me to put on my coat.And I have discovered that it makes them happy.
                   From my wheelchair experience,I see the best in people,bur sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily.They don’t get to see this soft side of others often,we try bevery way possible to avoid showing our weakness,which includes a lot of pretending.But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.
                   Last month,when I was driving home on a busy highway,I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual.People behind me began to get impatient and angry,with some speeding up alongside me,horning (按喇叭) or even shouting at me.At the moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty fore years of driving.I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.
                   No more angry shouts and no more horns!
                   When I put on my flashlights,I was saying to other drivers,“I have a problem here.I am weak and doing the best I can.”And everyone understoof.Several times,I saw drivers who wanted to pass.They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic.But instead of getting impatient and angry,they waited,knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.
                   Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way.But those are and far between.More often,it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.
              26.the author has discovered that people will feel happy when    
              A.they offer their help
              B.they receive others’help
              C.they feel others’kindness
              D.they show their weakness
              27.The author feels sad sometimes because    
              A.he has a soft heart
              B.he relies much on others
              C.some people pretend to be kind
              D.some people fail to see the kindness in others
              28.What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights?
              A.They speed up to pass.
              B.They waited with patience.
              C.They tried their best to help.
              D.They put on their flashlights too.
              29.In this passage,the author advises us to    
              A.handle problems by ourselves
              B.accept help from others
              C.admit our weakness
              D.show our bravery
              30.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?    
              A.A Wheelchair Experience.
              B.Weakness and Kindness.
              C.Weakness and Strength
