For example, if in the past, someone in Dad’s family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be ‘a skeleton in his family’s closet’. He really wouldn’t want any neighbor to know about it.”‎ 10‎ ‎“Why pick on my family?” Jessica’s father said with anger. “Your family history isn’t so good, you know. Wasn’t your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes?” “Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.” “Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I understand now,” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.‎ After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica’s parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica’s closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessica’s mother sank in a faint（晕倒）, waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.‎ ‎“What happened? Where am I?” she asked. “You just destroyed the school’s skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “They’re both crazy,” she thought.‎ ‎25. According to Jessica’s mother, “a skeleton in the close” means ______.‎ A. a family honor B. a family secret ‎ C. a family story D. a family treasure ‎26.

She is also, according to some assessments, the most influential woman in the world. It's no surprise that her endorsement(认可)can bring overnight sales fortune that defeats most, if not all, marketing campaigns. The star features about 20 products each year on her “Favorite Things” show. There’s even a term for it: the Oprah Effect.‎ Her television career began unexpectedly. When she was 16 year old, she had the idea of being a journalist to tell other people’s stories in a way that made a difference in their lives and the world. She was on television by the time she was 19 years old. And in 1986 she started her own television show with a continuous determination to succeed at first.‎ TIME magazine wrote, “People would have doubted Oprah Winfrey’s swift rise to host of the most popular talk show on TV. In a field dominated by white males, she is a black female of big size. As interviewers go, she is no match for Phil Donahue. What she lacks in journalistic toughness, she makes up for in plainspoken curiosity, rich humor and, above all understanding. Guests with sad stories to tell tend to bring out a tear in Oprah’s eye. They, in turn, often 10‎ ‎ find themselves exposing things they would not imagine telling anyone, much less a national TV audience.”‎ ‎“I was nervous about the competition and then I became my own competition raising the bar every year, pushing, pushing, pushing myself as hard as I knew. It doesn't matter how far you might rise. At some point you are bound to fall if you’re constantly doing what we do, raising the bar. If you're constantly pushing yourself higher, higher the law of averages, you will at some point fall. And when you do, I want you to know this, remember this: there is no such thing as failure. Failure is just life trying to move us in another direction” as Oprah addressed graduates at Harvard on May 30, 2013.‎ ‎32. The Oprah Effect refers to _______. ‎ A. the effect on a business B. the power of Oprah’s opinions C. the impact on talk shows D. the assessment of Oprah’s talk show ‎33. What can be inferred about Oprah’s television career?‎ A. She once gave up on her choice B. Her swift success has been expected.‎ ‎ C. It lives up to her parents’ expectation. ‎ D. She must have been challenged by white males.‎ ‎34. The message from Oprah to graduates at Harvard is that _______.‎ A. failure is nothing to fear B. success comes after failure C. there is no need to set goals too high D. pushing physical limits makes no sense ‎35. Which of the following best describes Oprah Winfrey?‎ A. Dull and pushy. B. Honest but tough.‎ C. Curious but weak. D. Caring and determined.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、 B、 C 和 D ）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ ‎“Now,” Mrs. Virginia DeView said, smiling, “we are going to discover our professions.” The class seemed to be greatly surprised. Our professions? We were only 13 and 14 years old! The teacher must be 36 . “Yes, you will all be searching for your future 37 . Each of you will have to 38 someone in your field, and give an oral (口头的) report.”‎ ‎ Each day in her class, Virginia DeView reminded us about this. Finally, I 39 print journalism. This meant I had to go to interview a newspaper reporter. I was extremely nervous. I sat down in front of him 40 able to speak. He looked at me and said, “Did you bring a pencil or pen?” I shook my head. “How about some 41 ?” I shook my head again.‎ ‎20090515‎ ‎ Finally, I thought he realized I was too 42 , and I got my first big tip as a 43 . “Never, never go anywhere without a pen or paper. You never know what you’ll 44 into.” After a few days, I gave my oral report totally from memory in class. I got an A on the entire project.‎ ‎ Years later, I was in college looking around for a new career, but with no success. Then I 45 Virginia DeView and my desire at 13 to be a journalist. And I called my parents. They didn't 46 me. They just reminded me how 47 the field was and how I had run away from competition all my life. This was true. But journalism did something to me; it was in my 48 . And it gave me the freedom to go up to total strangers and ask what was 49 .‎ ‎ For the past fifty years, I’ve had the most satisfying reporting career, 50 stories from ‎ 10‎ murders to airplane 51 and finally choosing my strongest area.

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 worst mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved, being special, and being cherished. We dream about what it will be like when we reach the long – awaited goal.56 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. 57 Next time, being thin will finally fulfill its promise of everlasting happiness, self – worth, and, of course, love. It took me a long while to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty. 58 In Samoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds. More importantly, if it is happiness that we want, why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our body? 59 Many of us try 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. 60 ‎ A. Why not look inside?‎ B. We try every means to be slim, but in vain.‎ C. We work very hard to realize this dream.‎ 10‎ D. When we change our attitudes toward ourselves, the whole world changes.‎ E. Why not do some make up?‎ F. Beauty standards vary with culture. ‎ G. Next time, we will keep it off.‎ 第三节 语法填空（共10小题：每小题1.5分，满分15分）‎ ‎ Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys?‎ The answer depends largely 61 cultural values as well as personal experiences. To the Egyptians, green was a color 62 represented the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it means heaven. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. During the Spring Festival in China, children 63 (give) money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect 64 against evils（灾祸）.‎ People’s 65 (choose) of colors is also influenced by their bodies’ reactions toward them. Green is said to be 66 most restful color. It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally 67 physically. People 68 (work) in green environment have been found to have fewer stomach aches.‎ Red can cause a person’s blood pressure to rise and increase people’s appetites（食欲）. Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant. And many commercial websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color that 69 (easy) catches a person’s eye.‎ Blue is another calming color. Unlike red, blue is believed to cause people to lose appetite. So 70 you want to eat less, some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.‎ 第四部分：写作 第一节 短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）‎ 文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。‎ 增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧)，并在其下面写出该加的词。‎ 删除：把多余的词用斜线(＼)划掉。‎ 修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。‎ 注意：1．每处错误及其修改仅限一词。‎ ‎ 2．只允许修改10处，多者(从第11处起)不计分。‎ My mother is a village woman, already in her fifty.

I would like to share my ideas about small talk in China with you as follows.‎ When making small talk, Chinese people usually choose some low-risk topics such as sport and films which are light and amusing, so that they can open their conversation very easily. Another safe choice is to talk about a recent news story—not too serious. If it happens to be a hot news, people will find a lot to say.‎ On the other hand, there are some topics Chinese always avoid, especially when talking to strangers. For example, don’t ask “How much do you earn?” or “How old are you?”. It is impolite to ask someone’s salary or age Besides, body language also matters. Chinese people often use some encouraging gestures like smiling or nodding in small talk, as it is a good way to show that they are listening carefully.‎ Hope these tips will do you some favor. Good luck!‎ Yours,‎ Li Lei 10‎
