A
I had worried myself sick over Simon's mother coming to see me. I was a new teacher, and I gave an honest account of the students' work. In Simon's case，the grades were
- 11 -
awfully low. He couldn't read his own handwriting. But he was a bright student. He discussed adult subjects with nearly adult comprehension. His work in no way reflected his abilities.
So when Simon's mother entered the room, my palms (手掌心) were sweating. I was completely unprepared for her kisses on both my cheeks. “I came to thank you,” she said, surprising me beyond speech. Because of me, Simon had become a different person. He talked of how he loved me, he had begun to make friends, and for the first time in his twelve years, he had recently spent an afternoon at a friend's house. She wanted to tell me how grateful she was for the self-respect I had developed in her son. She kissed me again and left.
I sat, stunned, for about half an hour，wondering what had just happened. How did I make such a life changing difference to that boy without even knowing it？What I finally came to remember was one day, several months before，when some students were giving reports in the front of the class, Jeanne spoke quietly，and to encourage her to raise her voice, I had said, “Speak up. Simon's the expert on this. He is the only one you have to convince, and he can't hear you in the back of the room.” That was it. From that day on, Simon had sat up straighter, paid more attention, smiled more，and became happy. And it was all because he happened to be the last kid in the last row. The boy who most needed praise was the one who took the last seat that day.
It taught me the most valuable lesson over the years of my teaching career, and I'm thankful that it came early and positively. A small kindness can indeed make a difference.
21. We can infer that when Simon’s mother entered the room, the writer felt _______.
A. nervous B. satisfied C. happy D. surprised
22. Why did Simon’s mother come to visit the writer?
A. Because she worried about her son’s poor work.
B. Because Simon asked her to do so.
C. Because she wanted to show her gratitude to the writer.
D. Because she wanted to know her son’s performance in the school.
23. The following words can be used to describe Simon before he met the writer EXCEPT _____.
A. unconfident B. lonely C. clever D. outgoing
24. The purpose of the passage is to ________.
A. share a valuable lesson with readers B. tell teachers how to be kind to students
C. advise the readers to be kind to others D. tell the story of Simon
B
One windy spring day, I observed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites. Multicolored creations of varying shapes and sizes filled the skies like beautiful birds dashing and dancing in the exciting atmosphere above the earth. As the strong winds gusted against the kites, a string kept them in check.
Instead of blowing away with the wind, they arose against it to achieve great heights. They shook and pulled, but the controlling string and the
- 11 -
clumsy tail kept them in tow(牵引), facing upward and against the wind. As the kites struggled and trembled against the string, they seemed to say, “Let me go! Let me go! I want to be free!” They flew beautifully even as they fought the forced restriction of the string. Finally, one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose. “Free at last,” it seemed to say, “Free to fly with the wind.”
Yet freedom from control simply put it at the mercy of an unsympathetic gentle wind. It flew ungracefully to the ground and landed in a twisted mass of weeds and string against a dead bush. “Free at last”. Free to lie powerless in the dirt, to be blown helplessly along the ground, and to settle down lifeless against the first roadblock.
How much like kites we sometimes are. There always exist misfortunes and restrictions, rules to follow from which we can grow and gain strength. Prohibition is a necessary counterpart to the winds of opposition. Some of us pulled at the rules so hard that we never fly fast to reach the heights we might have obtained. If we keep all the commandment(戒律), we will never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground.
Let us each rise to the great heights, recognizing that some of the prohibitions are actually the steady force that helps us climb and achieve.
25. In the passage the writer watched _______.
A. many young people flying multicolored kites B. many birds dashing and dancing in the sky
C. many young people enjoying the sunny day D. the strong winds blowing against the sky
26. What didn’t happen to the freed kite?
A. It was blown helplessly around. B. It lay powerless in the dirt.
C. It was trapped in a dead bush. D. It kept flying freely in the air.
27. What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?
A. To give up tips on how to fly kites effectively. B. To warn us that freedom is actually powerless.
C. To teach us a lesson that rules are important in life. D. To explain that restrictions are really unnecessary.
28. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Where to Fly B. Fly with Restrictions C. Why to Fly Kites D. Fly to Freedom
C
In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity（繁荣）. Others say that competition is bad, that it sets one person against another and that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.
I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit（追求） of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.
- 11 -
However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which only values the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary player, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “ I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” What is not usually admitted by them is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot.
Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued．Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to disappear can we discover a new meaning in competition.
29. Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?
A．It pushes society forward． B．It builds up a sense of duty.
C．It improves personal abilities. D．It encourages individual efforts.
30. The underlined phrase “ the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means _____.
A．those who try their best to win B．those who are against competition most strongly
C．those who value competition most highly D．those who rely on others most for success
31. Which point of view may the author agree to?
A．Every effort should be paid back. B．Competition should be encouraged.
C．Winning should be a life-and-death matter. D．Fear of failure should be removed in competition.
D

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Simple ways to get happy
We are not suggesting that you can reach a permanent state called “happiness” and remain there. But there are many ways to turn the path of anxiety, anger, and sadness into a state of happiness. Here are four ideas to get you started.____36_____.
1. Laugh out loud.
Just expecting a happy, funny event can raise levels of pleasure-causing hormones (荷尔蒙) and lower production of stress hormones. Researchers at the University of California tested 16 men who all agreed they thought a certain videotape was funny. Half were told three days in advance they would watch it. ___37___. When they actually watched the video, their levels of stress hormones dropped greatly, while their levels
- 11 -
of pleasure-causing hormones rose 27 percent.
2. Do one thing at a time.
Edward Suarez, professor of medical psychology at Duck, found that people who do several things at the same time are more likely to have high blood pressure. ___38___ Instead of talking on the phone while cleaning the kitchen, sit down in a comfortable chair and turn your entire attention over to the conversation.
3. ____39_____
Although relationships help take away stress sometimes you need time to recharge and reflect on your own. Take yourself out to lunch or to a movie, or simply spend an afternoon reading at home, or looking through books in a bookstore.

Smart phones have become part of our daily life. No matter where we are, we can see people busy playing with their smart phones.
Smart phones benefit us. They not only help us get information around the world more quickly and easily, but also escape the pressures of life.
- 11 -
However, every coin has two sides. When we spend too much time on smart phones, we don’t have time to communicate face to face with our friends or family, and our life, studies and work will be badly affected.
In my opinion, we should avoid using smart phones too much except for the purpose of learning. Meanwhile, it’s necessary for us to take part in more outdoor activities.
