            • 1． Finally，I entered the university．Because of my careful savings，I did not have to work during the school year．Then，summer came and it was time to work harder than ever．I continued working as a waitress at night，instructed tennis camps several mornings a week and worked as a secretary for a few hours in the afternoons．I even decided to take a class at a community （社区） college．This class at the community college saved me 650dollars．It was an extremely tiring summer and made me anxious to return to my relatively easy life at the university．
              During my second and third years of undergraduate schooling，I decided to work about five hours per week in the campus （校园） admissions office answering phones．This provided a little spending money and kept me from drawing my savings out．I wanted to go to Israel to study for 3 weeks，but I hesitated in making this decision because it would cost me 1，600dollars more to get the credits in Israel．About two weeks later my Mom called to tell me that I had 1，600dollars in the bank that I had forgotten about!One of my concerns about this trip was not only the cost，but the loss of time to make money； however，I made as much that summer in the ten weeks when I was at home as I had made during the fourteen weeks when I was at home the summer before．The way everything worked together to make this trip possible was one of the most exciting things that have ever happened to me．This experience has shaped me in many important ways．The first thing that I learned was the importance of a strong work ethic （伦理）．Working long hours did a lot to develop my character and helped me learn the value of a dollar．It also made me learn how to search for creative ways to settle difficult situations．

            • 2． A month after Hurricane Katrina，I returned home in New Orleans．There lay my house，reduced to waist-high rains，smelly and dirty．
              Before the trip，I’d had my car fixed．When the office employee of the garage was writing up the bill，she noticed my Louisiana license plate．“You from New Orleans？”she asked．I said I was，“No charge．”She said，and firmly shook her head when I reached for my wallet．The next day I went for a haircut，and the same thing happened．
              As my wife was studying in Florida，we decided to move there and tried to find a rental house that we could afford while also paying off a mortgage （抵押贷款） on our ruined house．We looked at many places，but none was satisfactory．We’d begun to accept that we’d have to live in extremely reduced circumstances for a while，when I got a very curious e-mail from a James Kennedy in California．He’d read some pieces I’d written about our sufferings for Slate，the online magazine and wanted to give us （“no conditions attached”） a new house across the lake from New Orleans．
              It sounded too good to be true，but I replied，thanking him for his exceptional generosity，that we had no places to go back．Then a poet at the University of Florida offered to rent his house to me while he went to England on his one-year-paid leave．The rent was rather reasonable．I mentioned the poet’s offer to James Kennedy，and the next day he sent a check covering our entire rent for eight months．
              Throughout this painful experience，the kindness of strangers has done much to bring back my faith in humanity．It’s almost worth losing your worldly possessions to be reminded that people are really nice when given half a chance．

              36．The garage employee’s attitude toward the author was that of    ．
              A．unconcern        B．sympathy         C．doubt            D．tolerance
              37．What do we know about James Kennedy？    
              A．He was a writer of an online magazine．
              B．He was a poet at the University of Florida．
              C．He learned about the author’s sufferings via e-mail．
              D．He offered the author a new house free of charge．
              38．It can be inferred from the text that    ．
              A．the author’s family was in financial difficulty
              B．rents were comparatively reasonable despite the disaster
              C．houses were difficult to find in the hurricane-stricken area
              D．the mortgage on the ruined house was paid off by the bank
              39．From Paragraph 4，we can know that the author’s new house    ．
              A．was located in the University of Florida
              B．was offered by a poet and the rent was expensive
              C．was sponsored by James Kennedy with its 8-month rent
              D．was well-equipped but the rent was low
              40．The author learned from his experience that    ．
              A．worldly possessions can be given up when necessary
              B．generosity should be encouraged in some cases
              C．people benefit from their sad stories
              D．human beings are kind after all．

            • 3． With my hands and knees on the floor of the airplane，I was searching for an old lady’s missing hearing aid during the flight from Sydney to Los Angeles．It occurred to me that this may not be the most dignified posture for a Buddhist nun（尼姑）．
              I had seen the old lady from the seat in front of me as she walked up and down the passage with a flashlight．I asked a few times what was wrong，but she didn’t answer at first--she couldn’t hear me．She was wearing a woolen coat．Judging from her accent，she came from Eastern Europe．
              Do you know what hearing aids cost？Thousands，especially for the new tiny hidden-in-the-ear type she described．It takes a long time for an appointment to make a new one，and many doctor visits to get the thing adjusted right．Therefore，my dignity seemed less important than finding that hearing aid．But how does one find a tiny black object in a shadowy jet cabin（机舱）？
              The lady wasn’t even sure where or when she had lost it．At one point，a couple of flight attendants did a random search around the lady’s seat； I wasn’t impressed．They left suggesting that she search the seat of her previous flight!My flashlight turned up all kinds of small objects，bits of plastic，broken pieces of headphones．
              The old lady said that she gave up．Yet I couldn’t．After we landed，as passengers streamed past us，I insisted that the lady move aside while awaiting her wheelchair．Then I got into a real down and dirty search among the dust under her seat and on the floor．
              Look!A little peanut-sized shiny black object caught the light of my flashlight in a floor crack near her seat．
              What a rush．“I found it!”
              With great astonishment and gratitude，the old lady responded，“I haven’t the words to express my thanks!”

              26．Why did the author put her hands and knees on the floor？    
              A．She is a religious Buddhist nun．
              B．She fell down from her seat．
              C．She helped the old lady look for her hearing aid．
              D．She wanted to stand out among the passengers．
              27．What do we know about the old lady？    
              A．She ignored the author’s question on purpose．
              B．She is an American．
              C．She lost her hearing aid by accident．
              D．It was not difficult for her to get the hearing aid at all．
              28．Where was the hearing aid found？    
              A．On the previous flight．
              B．Close to the old lady’seat．
              C．On the wheelchair．
              D．In another jet cabin．
              29．According to the last two paragraphs，what is the old lady’s attitude towards the author？    
              A．Respectful．  B．Doubtful．  C．Supportive．  D．Grateful．
              30．What is the purpose of the passage？    
              A．To tell us a story about kind help．
              B．To warn us to be more careful．
              C．To teach us how to find the lost thing．
              D．To present the love from all people on board．

            • 4． At thirteen，I was diagnosed（诊所） with  kind of attention disorder．It made school difficult for me．When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks，I could not．
              In my first literature class，Mrs．Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it，all within 45 minutes．I raised my hand right away and said，“Mrs．Smith，you see，the doctor said I have attention problems．I might not be able to do it．”

              In the quietness of my bedroom，the story suddenly all became clear to me．It was about a blind person，Louis Braille．He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education．But Louis didn’t give up．Instead，h invented a reading system of raised dots（点），which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind．

              I didn’t expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs．Smith，so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day-with an“A”on it．At the bottom of the paper were these words：“See what you can do when you keep trying？”

            • 5． This is a true story that happened in Japan．In order to renorate the house，a Japanese tore open the walls．Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between the wooden walls．When tearing down the walls，he found that there was a lizard（蜥蜴） stuck there because a nail from outside was hammered into one of its feet．He saw this，feeling pity and curious．When he checked the nail，he found it was nailed 10 years ago when the house was first built．
              What happened？The lizard had survived in such a position for 10 years!It has been in a dark wall partition（夹层） for 10 years without moving!Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 10 years without moving a single step-since its foot was nailed!So he stopped his work and observed the lizard：What has it been doing？What and how has it been eating？Later，he didn't know from where another lizard appeared，with food in its mouth．Ah!He was astonished and touched deeply．The free lizard had been feeding the stuck one for the past 10 years．
              Such love，a beautiful love!Such love happened with this tiny creature．What can love do？It can do wonders!Just think about it：one lizard had been feeding the other one untiringly for 10 long years，without giving up hope on its partner．If a small creature like a lizard can love like this，just imagine how we can love if we try．

              Larry was on another of his underwater expeditions（探险）but this time，it was different．He decided to take his daughter along with him．She was only ten years old．This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famous for．
              Larry first began diving when he was his daughter’s age．Similarly，his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions．Since then，he had never looked back．Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore．He had hated them．They were either too big or too small．Then，there was the instructor．He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father．He had made an exception．Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide．Children his age were not even allowed to dive．
              After the first expedition，Larry’s later diving adventures only got better and better．There was never a dull moment．In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back，Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean．Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search．Sometimes，his was limited．com to a cage underwater but that did not bother him．At least，he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures．
              Larry’s first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands．There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them．Fortunaly for him，a man offered to take him around the different  spots for free． Larry did not even know what the time was，how many spots he dived into or how many photographs he had taken． The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures．
              Larry looked at his daughter．She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age．He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition．Already，she looked like she was much braver than had been then．This was the key to a successful underwater expedition．

              A．His daughter had grown up．

              B．Larry liked the rented diving suits．
              C．Divers had to buy diving equipment．

              58．Why did Larry have to stay in a cage underwater sometimes    ？
              A．To protect himself from danger．

              I tried to read it．I adored reading，and would dive into a new pile of books from the library all at once．But something about Hans Brinker just wouldn’t let me in．The story was set in Holland，a long time ago．It felt dull and unfamiliar-even though I was a fan of classics of other times and places．I simply read the first pages over and over．I could not progress．
              Standing on a bookshelf in our living room，the book was like something I avoided．It scolded me for not being interested，for not trying hard enough，for disappointing my grandmother．
              The book started to fit in，almost forgotten，until Adele asked．Had I read it？Did I like it？Always determined，she wanted to know the answer．I would make some kind of excuse，feel bad，and open it again，hoping for a new reaction．The book weighed on me．
              Years passed and finally Adele and I both accepted that I would never read Hans Brinker．Eventually I cleared the book from the shelf．The Hans Brinker experience led me to set a rule that I’ve lived by ever since：Do not ask about a book given as a gift．Don’t ask，despite your desire to discuss it to grow closer．The desire for such connection is what gives book-giving with special meaning-and increases the owner’s possibility to be a letdown．
              Guilt is basically the same as for all gifts，though．If the giver doesn’t have the pleasure of seeing or hearing about the gift being enjoyed，and asks whether it is，then the owner-unless she can truthfully say“yes”-either has to admit to not liking the present，or else lie on the spot．Neither is pleasant．So，don’t ask．

              59．When the author was a kid，his grandmother    ．
              A．took him to travel around the world a lot
              B．loved to take him to museums and stores
              C．shared her childhood stories with him
              D．gave him many gifts
              60．What does the author think about the book his grandmother gave him？    
              A．Boring．  B．Interesting．  C．Puzzling．  D．Disappointing．
              61．The underlined sentence“The book weighed on me”in Paragraph 4probably means    ．
              A．the book is too heavy for the author to carry
              B．the author feels stressful facing the book
              C．the book is full of powerful viewpoints
              D．the author keeps reading the book
              62．The author learns from the Hans Brinker’s experience that never    ．
              A．give others books as gifts

            • 8． （2013•北京）Tail Spin
              Two dolphins race around in a big pool in the Ocean Park．The smaller dolphin Grace，shown off a few of her tricks，turning around and waving hello to the crowd．The most amazing thing about her，however，is that she’s even swimming at all．She doesn’t have a tail．
              Grace lost her tail as a baby when she got caught up in a fish trap．
              When the dolphin arrived at the Ocean Park in December 2005，she
              was fighting for her life．“Is she going to make it？”Her trainer，Abbey Stone，feared the worst．Grace did make it-but her tail didn’t．She ended up losing her flukes and the lower part of her peduncle．
              Over the past six years，she has learned to swim without her tail．Dolphins swim by moving their flukes and peduncle up and down．Grace taught herself to move another way-like a fish!She pushed herself forward through the water by moving her peduncles from side to side．
              The movement put harmful pressure on Grace’s backbone．So a company offered to create a man-made tail for her．The tail had to be strong enough to stay on Grace as she swam but soft enough that it wouldn’t hurt her．
              The first time Grace wore the artificial tail．She soon shook it off and let it sink in the bottom of the pool．Now，she is still learning to use the tail．Some days she wears it for an hour at a time，others not at all．“The tail isn’t necessary for her to feel comfortable，”says Stone，“but it helps to keep that range of motion（动作） and build muscles（肌肉）．”
              Now，the dolphin is about to get an even happier ending．This month，Grace will star in Dolphin Tale，a film that focus on her rescue and recovery．Her progress has inspired more than just a new movie．Many people travel from near and far to meet her．Seeing Grace swim with her man-made tail gives people so much courage．

              60．When Grace first arrived at the Ocean Park，her trainer worried about her．    
              A．physical build
              B．potential ability
              C．chance of survival
              D．adaptation to the surroundings．
              61．A man-made tail is created for Grace to    ．
              A．let her recover faster
              B．make her comfortable
              C．adjust her way of swimming
              D．help her perform better tricks
              62．The story of Grace inspires people to    ．
              A．stick to their dreams
              B．treat animals friendly
              C．treasure what they have
              D．face difficulties bravely．

            • 9． In my living room，there is a plaque （匾） that advises me to“Bloom （开花） where you are planted．”It reminds me of Dorothy．I got to know Dorothy in the early 1980s，when I was teaching Early Childhood Development through a program with Union College in Barbourville，Kentucky．The job responsibilities required occasional visits to the classroom of each teacher in the program．Dorothy stands out in my memory as one who“bloomed”in her remote area．
                    Dorothy taught in a school In Harlan County，Kentucky，Appalachian Mountain area．To get to her school from the town of Harlan，I followed a road winding around the mountain．In the eight-mile journey，I crossed the same railroad track five times，giving the possibility of getting caught by the same train five times．Rather than feeling excited by this drive through the mountains，I found it depressing．The poverty level was shocking and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness．
                     From the moment of my arrival at the little school，all gloom （忧郁） disappeared．Upon arriving at Dorothy’s classroom．I was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen．The children had been prepared to show me their latest projects．Dorothy told me with a big smile that they were serving poke greens salad and cornbread for“dinner”（lunch）．In case you don’t know，poke greens are a weed-type plant that grows wild，especially on poor ground．
                     Dorothy never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students．Her enthusiasm never cooled down．When it came time to sit for the testing and interviewing required to receive her Child Development Associate Certification，Dorothy was ready．She came to the assessment and passed in all areas．Afterward，she invited me to the one-and-only steak house in the area to celebrate her victory，as if she had received her Ph．D．degree．After the meal，she placed a little box containing an old pen in my hand．She said it was a family heirloom （传家宝），but to me it is a treasured symbol of appreciation and pride that cannot be matched with things．（360 words）

            • 10． There was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care．To water his flowers，he used two buckers．One was a shiny and new bucket．The other was a very old and dilapidated one．Which had seen many years of service，but was now past its best．
              Every morning，the gardener would fill up the two buckets．Then he would carry them along the path，one on each side，to the flowerbeds．The new bucket was very proud of itself．It could carry a full bucket of water without a single drop spilled （溢出）．The old bucket felt very ashamed because of its holes：before it reached the flowerbeds，much water had leaked along the path．
              Sometimes the new bucket would say，“See how capable I am!How good it is that the gardener has me to water the flowers every day!I don't know why he still bothers with you．What a waste of apace you are!”
              And all that the old bucket could say was．“I know I am not very useful，but I can only do my best．I am happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use in me，at least．”
              One day，the gardener heard that kind or conversation．After was ring the flowers as usual．he said，”You both have done your work very well．Now I am going to carry you back．I want you to look carefully along the path．”
              Then the two buckets did so．All along the path，they noticed，on the side where the new bucket was carried．there was just bare（光秃秃的）earth； on the other side where the old bucket was carried．there was a joyous row of wild flowers，leading all the way to the garden．

              56．What does the underlined word“dilapidated”probably mean？    
              A．Dirty     B．Dark    C．Worn-out   D．Plain-looking．
              57．What was the old bucket ashamed of？    
              A．His past     B．His aging     C．His manner    D．His leaking．
              58．The new bucket made conversations with the old one mainly to    
              A．laugh at the old one       B．take pity on the old one
              C．show off its beautiful looks   D．praise the gardener’s kindness
              59．Why was the old bucket still kept by the gardener？    
              A．Because it was used to keep a balance
              B．Because it stayed in its best condition
              C．Because it was taken as a treasure
