第一节：.阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项。
A
For many years, I was convinced that my suffering was due to my size. I believed that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds, hurts and rejections with it.
Many weight-conscious people also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved, being special, and being cherished. We fantasize (幻想) about what it will be like when we reach the long-awaited goal .We work very hard to realize this dream. Then, at last, we find ourselves there.
But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so, we continue to believe that next time it will be different. Next time, we will keep it off. Next time, being thin will finally fulfill its promise of everlasting happiness, self-worth, and, of course,
- 17 -
love.
It took me a long time to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty. Beauty standards vary with culture. In Samoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds. More importantly, if it’s happiness that we want, why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our body? Why not look inside? Many of us strive hard to change our body, but in vain. We have to find a way to live comfortably inside our body and make friends with and cherish ourselves. When we change our attitudes towards ourselves, the whole world changes.
21．The passage tries to stress the importance of ____________.
A. body size B. different beauty standards
C. culture difference D. attitudes towards life
22．What does the word “everything” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. The whole world B. All the problems.
C. All the properties. D. The absolute truth.
23．What can be inferred about the author?
A. The author is a Samoan.
B. The author succeeded in losing weight.
C. The author probably got wounded in wars or accidents.
D. The author has been troubled by her/his weight.
24．According to the author , what is the common view of those who have lost some weight first and gained it back later ?
A. They feel optimistic about future plans on weight control.
B. They are indifferent to the regained weight.
C. The feel angry about the regained weight.
D. They think they should give up their future plans on weight control.
B
Last week I was riding my special motorbike and then stopped at a convenience
- 17 -
store. As I was getting my wheelchair off the back, a man watched me from his car and I noticed a wheelchair in his back seat. We spoke for a moment and I asked him about the wheelchair. He answered that it was for his daughter. “Well, do you think she would like to go for a ride on my motorbike with me?” I asked. He seemed shocked that a total stranger would ask him this. He thought about it for a second and said, “OK, as long as I can follow you.”
He introduced me to Amy and he sat her on my back seat. Her father followed me for a few miles and she talked non-stop about what she wanted for Christmas.
As we came back to the convenience store, she said, “This ride is the best Christmas present I could ever receive. I have been in a wheelchair my whole life and didn’t know I could do this.” I told her about some of the other things I do (ski, travel the world by myself, etc.). As her father was taking her off my bike, she turned to him and said, “Oh Daddy, I’m going to be OK. Mr. Bryant does all kinds of things, and I will too.” Her father turned away as a tear of joy rolled down his cheek. He hugged me and said, “I was sitting here praying for a gift for Amy that would encourage her. She often felt that her life was dull compared to other children. God answered my prayer just now. Now I pray that God will bless you for your gift to Amy today.” I believed what he said. Being kind and thoughtful to others, we can be an answer to prayer.

A. The motorbike. B. The wheelchair.
C. The blessing. D. The ride.

One in four Britons would not trust their neighbors to take delivery of a parcel and 10 per cent suspect them of having stolen a parcel in the past, a survey has found.
A study of 2,000 shows that barely half of people know who their neighbors are. A majority would never ask their neighbors to look after such things as keys (68 percent), pets (89 percent) while they were out and even taking in parcels is taking trust too far for more than a third of us (35 percent), according to research for InPost UK.
One in ten (11 percent) have had parcels taken by a neighbor or from right outside their house. When it comes to deliveries, almost a quarter (26 percent) have gone into work late or have left early to wait in for a parcel. This gives rise to people queuing in the Post Office more than 20 minutes to pick up or send a parcel.
As a result, shoppers are looking for more convenience this Christmas. While 83 percent will still get gifts sent to their home, one in five (19 percent) will have parcels delivered to their office and 33 percent will click and collect in store or from a nearby shop.
In addition, almost two thirds of online shoppers (64 percent) are considering using parcel lockers because they provide a local 24/7 service.
Jonathan Smith, chairman at InPost UK, said: “It’s surprising that people don’t trust those closest to them to help them out and to see that missed deliveries are still such an issue, especially as we head into the peak shopping period.”
29．What’s the problem of British delivery parcels?
- 17 -
A. They are always stolen by strangers.
B. Some missing parcels are suspected to be taken by neighbors.
C. Most of the parcels have to be picked up in the post office.
D. Deliveries almost cause 50% going into work late or leaving early.
30．According to the passage, we can learn that .
A. merely half of people know their neighbors
B. only one in four Britons trust their neighbors to take delivery of a parcel
C. a majority would ask their neighbors to look after their pets
D. two thirds of online shoppers still get their parcels sent to their home
31．What’s the attitude of Jonathan Smith towards the issue?
A. Unexpected. B. Critical.
C. Overstate. D. Optimistic.
32．What’s the best title for the passage?
A. The delivery problem in Britain
B. How can we trust each other
C. The trust crisis（危机） in neighborhoods in Britain
D. The way to improve delivery
D
Dear Alcohol,
You've been around forever. I can remember all the pain you've caused for me.
Do you remember the night you almost took my father's life? I do. He loves you. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me. He's addicted to you, to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them. You just sat back and laughed as his car went spinning through the street, crashing into two other cars. He wasn't the only one hurt by you that night.
Do you remember the night of my first high school party? You were there. My friends were intrigued by you. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again, drinking all of you that they could. I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen completely. "I'm so embarrassed," they said as I held their
- 17 -
hair back so that they could vomit (呕吐). "I'm sorry," they said when I called taxies for them, walking them out and paying the driver in advance. "This won't happen again," they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped. Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night thanks to you.
Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car? He died the next morning too. His sister walked home from her dance lesson, and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio. She didn't realize her brother was in the midst of it all. She never saw him again. And it's all your fault.
I wish you'd walk out of my life forever. I don't want anything to do with you. Look at all the pain you've caused. Sure, you've made people happy too from time to time. But the damage you've caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable. Stop luring (引诱) in the people I love. Stop hurting me, please.
Sincerely,
Anonymous

参考范文： Gulangyu—A Fairyland in the World
Gulangyu, which is an island located to the southwest of Xiamen, covers an area of no more than two square kilometers.
The scenery there is very beautiful, especially when you enjoy it from the top of the Sunshine Rock. Because of its natural beauty, Gulangyu is regarded as a garden on the sea. There is a ban on driving motor vehicle on the island, which makes the island so quiet that music played on the piano can be heard. However, there are some disadvantages there. The ticket prices for most attractions are very high.
- 17 -
What's worse, with the development of tourism, the original scenery on the island has been destroyed and polluted.
It is hoped that everyone should make every effort to keep its beauty.
