第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分 40 分）

A
John Sand was one of the most influential teachers I have ever met. During high school, he taught me more than any other teacher had been able to.
He developed unusual methods of teaching. He did not give us homework on the first day and have it due the next; instead, he gave us a homework schedule for the term and left it up to us to remember to do it. By doing so, he prepared us for life after high school, where it would be up to us to make our own work schedule.
Mr. Sand was a family man. He made use of whatever time we had left in class to show us his latest vacation videos or his children’s sports videos. It was nice to see a man who balanced his family and his career so nicely in a world where a broken home is the average home.
Mr. Sand always encouraged us to get out of our little close-minded society of Wethersfield and explore the cultures of the world. He would tell us stories of his travels across Europe and his adventures around the US. Many teachers just forced the idea of college and ignored our need to reach outside of what we know.
Many people may not ever have a teacher like Mr. Sand. I feel sorry for them. Mr. Sand taught me things that went beyond the curriculum(课程) and let me know how powerful a teacher’s influence could be.
21. How did Mr. Sand deal with students’ homework?
A. He always avoided giving it.
B. He punished those failing to finish it.
C. He wanted students to be responsible for it.
D. He spent enough time every day checking it.
22. What do we know about Mr. Hand from Paragraph 3?
A. He only had one child.
B. He didn’t have a great love for life.
C. He liked doing sports after work.
D. He valued his job as well as his family.
23. Mr. Hand shared his tours around Europe with his students to _______.
A. lead them to know more
B. encourage them to become brave
C. inspire them to care for others
D. show them how to spend their free time
24. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Teachers I like best
B. An outstanding teacher
C. Teaching, a great career
D. How to be a caring teacher

A bargain is something offered at a low and advantageous price. A more recent definition is: a bargain is a dirty trick to force money out of the pockets of silly and innocent people.
The cost of producing a new ---for example --- toothpaste would make 80p the proper price for it, so we will market it at £1.20. It is not a bad toothpaste, and as people like to try new things it will sell well to start with; but the attraction of novelty soon fades, so sales will fall. When that happens we will reduce the price to £1.15. And we will turn it into a bargain by printing 5p OFF all over it.
Sometimes it is not 5p OFF but 1p OFF. What breathtaking rudeness to advertise 1p OFF your soap or washing powder or whatever! Even the poorest old-age pensioner ought to regard this as an insult(侮辱), but he doesn’t. A bargain must not be missed. People say one has to have washing powder (or whatever) and one might as well buy it a penny cheaper.
The real danger starts when unnecessary things become ‘bargains’. Many people just cannot resist bargains. Provided they think they are getting a bargain they will buy clothes they will never wear or furniture they have no space for. Once I heard of a man who bought an electric saw（电锯） as a bargain and cut off two of his fingers the next day. But he had no regrets: the saw had been truly cheap.
Quite a few people actually believe that they make money on such bargains. A lady once told me: “I’ve had a lucky day today. I bought a dress for £120, reduced
from £400; and I bought a beautiful Persian carpet for £600, reduced from £900.” It will never occur to her that she has actually wasted £720. She feels as though she had made £580. She also feels, I am sure, that if she had more time for shopping, she could make a living out of it.
Some people buy in large quantities because it is cheaper. Once a couple bought enough sugar for their lifetime and the lifetime of their children and grandchildren. They thought it a bargain not to be missed. When the sugar arrived they didn’t know where to store it – until they realized that their toilet was a very spacious one. So that was where they piled up their sugar. Not only did their guests feel rather strange whenever they were offered sugar to put into their coffee, but the toilet became extremely sticky.
To offer bargains is a commercial trick to make the poor poorer. When greedy fools fall for this trick, it serves them right.
28. What does the underlined word “novelty” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Good quality. B. Low price. C. Curiosity. D. Newness.
29. Which word best describes the language style of the passage?
A. Polite. B. Foolish. C. Humorous. D. Serious.
30. How does the author feel about 1p OFF a product?
A. It’s a gift for poor people. B. It’s an insult to shoppers.
C. It’s a bargain worth trying. D. It’s a real reduction in price.
31. Which statement will the author probably agree with?
A. Bargains are things people don’t really need.
B. Bargains are often real cheap products.
C. Bargains help people make a living.
D. Bargains play tricks on people.

The famed soprano(女高音)Jenny Lind had plenty of talent and determination. And when she came to America in 1850 she had more than enough publicity. Her promoter was the biggest showman(演出经理人) of them all—P.T. Barnum.
Eager to rise above his reputation as a promoter of sideshows , Barnum had risked his entire fortune on the singer that he had never heard or seen. He saw to it that the risk paid off. When she arrived in New York, her admirers surrounded Jenny Lind. By midnight, when she arrived at her hotel, a crowd of 30,000 had gathered just to get a look at her. At one o'clock, a band of 130 musicians came to sing for her.
Tickets for her first American concert were in such demand that they were auctioned off(拍卖). The first ticket went to a hat maker named Genin who paid ＄225 for it and got several days' worth of fame in the bargain . At the concert 7000 shouting people crowded into Castle Garden to hear Jenny Lind sing. She received ＄10,000—all of which she gave to New York charities. She repeated her success in Philadelphia, Washington, Richmond, Charleston, and Baltimore.
In Baltimore something happened that may have made Jenny Lind decide that
things had gotten out of hand. She was on the balcony of her hotel, bowing to the masses below when her shawl fell. Instead of returning it, the crowd fought over the shawl, tearing it to shreds and pocketing the pieces as souvenirs. Soon afterward she backed out of her contract with Barnum—at a cost of ＄30,000—and completed her American tour. Several years passed before she returned to the concert stage. As for P.T. Barnum, he went into a profession for which he may have been supremely well qualified—politics.
32.Who helped Jenny Lind get more than enough publicity?
A. Her fans. B. Her friends. C. P.T.Barnum D. Her family
33.What made Genin famous for several days?
A. That he paid ＄225 for the first ticket of Jenny’s concert
B. That he made many hats.
C. That he earned ＄225 at the auction
D. That he donated ＄225 to New York charities.
34.Which of the following statements about Jenny is NOT TRUE?
A. Hundreds of people came to have a look at Jenny.
B. Many musicians came to help her.
C. She broke the contract with Barnum
D. She returned to the concert stage several years later.
35.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Jenny fell from the balcony of her hotel.
B. Jenny signed a contract with Barnum again.
C. Jenny earned ＄30,000 in total
D. Jenny was very popular with fans.

If I could give everyone one piece of advice about the college application process, it would be this: __36___
Be different from the beginning. Don't wait until the summer after junior year, or worse, the fall of senior year to begin this process. __37__ You might be seeing the stress in seniors who are frantically (疯狂地) visiting colleges, writing essays, and completing applications.
__38__. Do some research and think beyond the "usual suspects" (备选) before you find the most suitable choice. Colleges compare students from the same high school with the same measuring stick since they read all the applications together. If your coursework and test scores don't look good enough, it will be more challenging to be accepted. However, your leadership or special talents may be more impressive if you are one of only a few students applying to a certain college.
Be different in the activities you choose and follow your interests, not your friends. __39__ It could be tutoring, the environment, dancing, writing, or starting a business, but take part for the right reasons. Your activities should be meaningful and
tell a story about who you are.
Be different in what you write about in your essay to stand out. It is the one tool that gives you total control, so use it wisely. Write what you want them to know about you, not what you think they want to read. Brainstorming your essay topic is a self-reflection process. __40__ Find something unique.
A. Be different in preparing your college list.
A. Try to develop your talents.
C. Dare to be different
D. Stay away from topics that everyone writes about..
E. Starting early will relieve much stress.
F. Imagine what people are usually interested in.
G. Find something that matters to you or something you care about.

Another person's enthusiasm was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved. That person was my stepmother.
I was nine years old when she entered our home in rural Virginia. My father 41 me to her with these words: "I would like you to meet the fellow who is 42 for being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no 43 than tomorrow morning. "
My stepmother walked over to me, 44 my head slightly upward, and looked me right in the eye. Then she looked at my father and replied, "You are 45 . This is not the worst boy at all, 46 the smartest one who hasn't yet found an outlet for his enthusiasm. "
That statement began a (n) 47 between us. No one had ever called me smart. My family and neighbors had built me up in my 48 as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that.
She changed many things. She 49 my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors. She moved our family into the county seat, where my father's career could be more 50 and my brother and I could be better 51 .
When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand 52 and told me that she believed that I could become a writer. I knew her enthusiasm, I 53 it, and I saw how it had already improved our lives.

What power 58 has! When that power is released to support the certainty of one's purpose and is 59 strengthened by faith, it becomes an irresistible force which poverty and temporary defeat can never 60 .
You can communicate that power to anyone who needs it. This is probably the greatest work you can do with your enthusiasm.

One sentence from the news in Washington has remained in my mind since a trip last summer: “When you see people run against the crowd escaping 61 the danger, they are 62 (probable) firefighters, police or journalists.
I think this is most true for the firefighters. Whenever and wherever 63 (disaster) happen — 9/11 Attacks in New York 14 years ago or the explosion in Tianjin on Wednesday night — it is always the firefighters 64 take the lead to run to the very center, saving lives by 65 (risk) their own. I cried today near the explosion site, not because of the smoke from the ongoing fire 66 because of a short message a firefighter sent to a trusted friend that went viral online. It reads, “If I cannot make it, my father is 67 (you); and please remember 68 (sweep) my mother’s tomb.” I was thrilled later to learn that he did make it.
“Everyone knows it’s 69 (danger) to be a firefighter. But he has always liked it and has done it for 12 years,” his father said. “He survived this time, but no one knows what 70 (happen) next time.”

Under the help of several other students, Li Xiang, one of my best friend put me on his back and head for the clinic immediately. It turned out that my right ankle got hurt but I had to be sent to hospital. He did not leave until ambulance arrived. The following day, he came to see me.
