There was a young woman who took great pride in her flower garden. She was raised by her grandmother who taught her to love and 41 for flowers. So her flower garden was the best.
One day, while she was looking through a flower list she often 42 from, a picture of a plant caught her eyes. She had never seen blooms(花) on a flower like that before. “I have to have it,” she said to herself, and she 43 ordered it.
When it arrived, she already had a 44 prepared to plant it. She planted it at the back of her yard. It grew well, with beautiful green leaves all over it, but there were no blooms.

As a teenager, Rock left high school and started telling jokes in comedy clubs in New York City, Even at age 18, Chris Rock was very funny. He told jokes about his family (his parents were very strict) , and about growing up in Brooklyn in the 1980s. Many of his jokes were also about high school, which Rock says was terrible.
Famous comedians (喜剧演员）went to see Rock’s performances. One comedian called Eddie Murphy helped him get work on television and in the movies.

It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument. We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into World War III. She’ll talk about my lack(缺失) of a bright future because I don’t plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment, I don’t want to do any job related to science, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major(主修) in English and communications, she nearly had a heart attack.
“Why can’t you be like my co-worker’s son?” she bemoans all the time. Her co-worker’s son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don’t know what to answer except that I simply can’t be like Mr. Perfect as I’ve called the unnamed co-worker’s son. I can’t be like him. I’m the type of person who loves to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because I love it, not because of fame (名声) or salary(薪水).
I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I’ve seen my mother try to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 a.m. and usually comes home around 5 p.m. or even 6 p.m. However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesn’t mean I’ll be successful. I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.
57. Which of the following topics do the writer and his mother often talk about?
A. The writer’s studies. B. The writer’s future job
C. Dinner plans D. Wars around the world
58. We can infer(推断) from Paragraph 1 that the writer’s mother ____________.
A. doesn’t want the writer to major in English
B. doesn’t think the writer should be a doctor
C. gets along very well with the writer
D. doesn’t think working in the science field is a good idea
59. The underlined word “bemoans” in Paragraph 2 most probably means _____________.
A. agrees B. shouts C. complains D. smiles
60. What do you think the writer will possibly be in the future?
A . A doctor B A scientist C An engineer D A writer

六、短文填空 (共10小题：每小题1分，满分10分)
As we know, museums are buildings where many valuable and important objects are kept so that people can go and see them. For example, art museums are places where people can learn about d 76 cultures. More and more popular “design museums” that are opening today, however, perform quite a different role. U 77 most museums, the design museum shows objects that are easily found in our daily life, such as fridges and washing machines.
The a 78 of design museums is that they are places where people feel familiar(熟悉) with the objects. Being different from the art museum visitors, design museum visitors s 79 feel frightened or puzzled. This is partly because design museums clearly show how and why mass-products(批量产品) work and look as they do, and how design has i 80 the quality of our lives. Art museum objects, on the other hand, would most probably fill visitors with a feeling that there is something b 81 their understanding.
Several new design museums have opened their doors in r 82 years. Each of these museums has tried to satisfy(满足) the public’s growing interest in the field with new i 83 . London’s Design Museum, for example, shows a collection of mass-produced objects from electric typewriters to a group of Italian fish-tins. The choices open to design museums seem far less strict than t 84 to art museums, and visitors may also sense the humorous part of our society while w 85 around such objects as interesting and unusually attractive toys collected from our everyday life.
七、任务型阅读（共10小题：每小题1分，满分10分)
Nobody likes making mistakes. But, no one is perfect. If you can learn from mistakes correctly, they can move you forward.
If you have made mistakes that harm other people, it is important to offer a true apology (道歉)in person. A good apology will probably make the other person forgive(原谅) you. If you refuse to apologize, the person hurt by you will hold it against you. If you go through life afraid to make a mistake, you will spend most of your life doing nothing. There is no harm in making mistakes; it is a part of going forward. The more duties you take, the more mistakes you will possibly make.
Unluckily, it is natural to justify（为…辩解）our actions. When you make a mistake, you will first blame someone else. When mistakes are made, the boss won’t be interested in justifications. Sometimes it is best to say, very simply--yes, I made a mistake.
Mistakes happen for different reasons. To avoid repeating them, you need to understand the
第 8 页 共 8 页
main reason. For example, you may have made a mistake by saying some unkind words. If you make mistakes because you are tired, try to get more sleep; if you are stressed, look at ways to relax and keep away from the stress of work.
You should avoid feeling guilty about making mistakes, but at the same time, you should make a decision to learn from them. If you repeat the same mistakes, it shows you aren’t making progress and they cause repeating suffering. Often mistakes are caused by bad habits. To avoid making the same mistakes you need to break these bad habits. The sooner, the better.
