When I was a boy there were no smart phones, and our television only got one channel clearly. Still, I never felt bored. The fields, hills and woodlands around my home were the perfect playground whose adventures were only limited by my imagination. I can remeber once hiking to nearby lake and walking slowly around it. At the back of it I was amazed to find an old dirt road that I had never seen before. It was full of muddy tyre tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides, but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure.
I walked on and on for what seemed like hours. I was sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ears “turn around and head back home”, but I was stubborn and walked on. There was still neither a car nor a house in sight. I noticed that the sun was starting to go and down I grew scared. I didn’t want to end up trapped on this road, and I was worried that it would be dark before I could
make my way back to the lake again.
I continued to walk on with something growing inside of me. My heart was pounding and my legs were aching. I was almost in tear s when I saw something in the distance. It was a house that I recognized. I jumped up and down and laughed out loud. It was still over a mile away, but my legs felt like feathers and I hurried back to my house in no time. I walked in with a big smile on my face just in time for dinner. Then I ended my adventure with a good night’s sleep.
I often thought of that experience recently. Actually, in our life, all roads, no matter how they twist and turn, can lead us home again. They can lead us to hey can lead us to our homes in our hearts. May you always walk your path with love! May you always help you r fellow travelers along the way! And may your roads always lead you home again!
24. Why did the author hardly feel bored when he was young?
A. He could watch TV all day.
B. He had many friends to play with.
C. He could have fun in nature.
D. He used to explore the old dirt road
25. What does the underlined word “something” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to?

C. He was worried to be trapped in the woods.
D. He was afraid of being scolded by his parents.
27. What may be the best title for the passage?
A. Every Effort Is Worthwhile.
B. Be Brave to Adventure.
C. Be Determined in Your Life.
D. All Roads Lead Home.
C
When we think of leadership, we often think of strength and power. But what are these really,
and how do they operate?
Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things. If this is even possible, it is short-tern, and tends to backfire. If you order someone to do something against their will, they may do it because they feel they must, but the anger they feel will do more harm in the long-term. They will also experience fear.
Fear causes the thinking brain to shut down, making the person unable to function at his or her best. If they associate you with .his emotion of fear, they will become less functional around you, and you will have succeeded in not only shooting yourself in the foot, but possibly making a very good employee or partner unable to perform effectively. Fear has no place m leadership.
The way we influence people in a lasting way is by our own character, and our understanding and use of emotion. We can order someone to do something, which may be part of the work day, or we can employ them at the emotional level, so they become fully devoted to the projects and provide some of their own motivation. Today’s work place is all about relationships.
Anyone works harder in a positive environment in which they’re recognized and valued as a human being as well as worker. Everyone produces just a bit more for someone they like. Leaders understand the way things work. They know the pay check is not the single most motivating factor in the work life of most people.
The true strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidence of emotional intelligence—knowing your own emotions, and how to handle them, and those of others. Developing your emotional intelligence is the single best thing you can do if you want to develop your relationships with people around you, which is the key to the leadership skills.
28. An employee man have a feeling of fear in the work place when .
A. he is forced to do things B .he cannot work at his best
C .he feels his brain shut down D. he thinks of his work as too heavy
29. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A People tend to associate leadership with fear.
B. Good relationship is the key to business success.
C. Smart people are more functional in the work place.
D. Working conditions affect people’s physical health.
30. To positively influence employees, a leader should first of all .
A. develop his own personality B. provide better suggestions
C. give his employees a pay raise D. hide his own emotion of fear
31. Good leadership is mainly seen in a leader’s ability to .
A. provide a variety of projects for employees B. help raise employees’ living standards
C. give employees specific instructions D. deal wisely with employees’ emotions
D
It seems hard to watch someone yawn（打哈欠）and not to yawn ourselves. Even reading about yawning can make you do it. Now, a new study has found why yawning has such a powerful force.
Yawning when others yawn, the study suggests, is a sign of pity and a form of social connection. Kids don’t develop this deeply rooted behavior until around age four, the study found. Kids with autism (自闭症) are less likely to catch yawns. In the most serious cases, they never do. Yawning might help doctors to see whether the children are developing rightly. The work could also lead to a better understanding of the ways that people communicate and connect.
“Emotional infection seems to be a born thing that connects us together,” said Molly Helt, a graduate student in psychology at the University of Connecticut. “Yawning may be part of that.” Inspiration for her study came when she tried to get her own autistic son to clear his ears on an airplane. She repeatedly yawned at him, hoping he would yawn back. He never did.
“The fact that autistic kids don’t do it might mean they’re really missing out on that emotional connection with people around them,” she said. “The biggest thing people try to figure out after birth is how we become humans and understand that humans have minds that are different from others’,” she added. “Autistic people never seem to understand that.”
Like infectious（有感染力的）laughter and crying, scientists have found that yawning is a shared experience that promotes social connection. Helt said it could fight stress after a period of being nervous and spread a feeling of calm through a group.
32. According to the first two paragraphs, what does the new study suggest?
A. It is easy to stop yawning when you see others yawn.
B. Yawning is a form of communication.
C. Children follow others in yawning just after they are born.
D. Yawning has some mysterious force which is related to God.
33. According to Molly Helt, _________.
A. yawning is a kind of emotional connection among humans
B. humans differ from animals because they communicate with others
C. emotions are infectious, but yawning is not
D. yawning helps clear ears on planes
34. Which of the following is NOT true about yawning?
A. It is natural to yawn back if people around you yawn.
B. Some kids are too young to yawn after others.
C. Kids with autism yawn easily when others yawn.
D. Yawning can be used to test children’s development.
35. The author implies in the last paragraph that ________.
A. it is bad manners to yawn on some social occasions
B. yawning can make people feel relaxed
C. the more you yawn, the happier you will be
D. yawning is different from infectious laughter and crying in theory
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
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。
Living with other people can be difficult, especially when each person has their own ideas about how they want to live. 36 . Taking a few simple steps will help you share your living space harmoniously.
Discuss your expectations ahead of time.
37 . This applies to finances, food, possessions, use of common areas, loud activities or parties, quiet hours, and so on.
Divide responsibilities.
Make a plan to divide up responsibilities and chores（家常杂务）between you and your roommate. For example, if your roommate is a good cook and you are not, 38 . It may also be a good idea to set up a chores schedule, where you will take turns cleaning the bathroom, raking out the trash and so on.
39 .
Not everyone has the same ideas about day to day living as you do. Take your roommate’s feelings into consideration. For instance, if you are dying to throw a party on Thursday night but your roommate has a final early the next morning, agree to postpone the party till Friday evening, instead.
Communicate effectively.
Communication is key in making the relationship work. If a problem comes up, it’s better to talk about it right away than to ignore it. For example, say “Chris, it upsets me when I wake up to find all the milk gone. If you use the last of something, can you please add it to the list?” If you simply cannot communicate openly and there is tension all the time, 40 .
A. Be prepared to compromise
B. Create a roommate agreement on Internet use
C. ask him or her to cook if you’ll clean up afterward
D. you may as well find a new roommate
E. Though having a roommate can be challenging, it can also be enjoyable and fun from the other
F. People may have different religious or political views that could cause conflict
G. Talk about what each of you needs and wants in advance

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Today we talk about a word that is a feeling as well as a place. This word is “home.” Long ago in the 1700s, “home” was used as a verb, 61 (mean) “to be guided to a destination.” So, when you home in on something, you get 62 (close) to your target. For example, you could say, “Police are homing in on the suspects.” That is also where we get homing pigeons－pigeons that can find 63 (they) way home after being released.
But today, “home” is more often used as a noun. And it has a very emotional 64 (connect) for American English speakers. You can remember the meaning of the word by the expression “home is 65 the heart is.” That expression means home is anywhere you feel love and comfort. It is a place where you belong, and often a place you consider your origin. In other 66 (word), “home” is not 67 (simple) a building where you live—that’s a house. There is a big difference 68 a home and a house.
The writer, Thomas Wolfe, had 69 different idea about home. In 1940, his book “You Can’t Go Home Again” 70 (publish). Today we use this title to mean that the ideas and feelings that you had as a child often change when you are an adult. So, even if you return to the place where you grew up, time and distance have changed your perspective (观点).

【参考范文】
Dear Elizabeth Mamo,
I am Li Hua, an exchange student from China, 1 am writing to you in expectation of obtaining the volunteer work as a volunteer in the hospital.
For one thing, I have taken delight in reading since I was a little child, which will surely fuel my enthusiasm for sharing what I read with patients. For another, as I have a caring and considerate
personality, I am willing to contribute myself to helping the patients. More importantly, having great communicative competence and a good command of English has guaranteed a series of my success in volunteering. Besides, I am available for the require time. Thus, I’m fully confident that I have the relevant qualifications of serving as a volunteer. If I am considered qualified for being the volunteer, I promise to provide the most pleasing service.
I’m looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
