One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 AM. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.‎ I walked to the door and knocked. “Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice. ‎ After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.‎ I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car.‎ She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It’s nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”‎ ‎“Oh, you’re such a good man,” she said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”‎ ‎“It’s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.‎ ‎“Oh, I’m in no hurry,” she said. “I’m on my way to a hospice(临终医院). I don’t have any family left. The doctor says I don’t have very long.”‎ I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(计价器).‎ For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.‎ Sometimes she’d ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.‎ At dawn, she suddenly said, “I’m tired. Let’s go now.”‎ We drove in silence to the address she had given me.‎ ‎“How much do I owe you?” she asked.‎ - 18 -‎ ‎“Nothing,” I said.‎ ‎“You have to make a living,” she answered. “Oh, there are other passengers,” I answered.‎ Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.”‎ ‎56. The old woman chose to ride through the city in order to ______.‎ A. show she was familiar with the city B. see some places for the last time C. let the driver earn more money D. reach the destination on time ‎57. The taxi driver did not charge the old woman because he ______.‎ A. wanted to do something for her ‎ B. shut off the meter by mistake C. had received her payment in advance ‎ D. was in a hurry to take other passengers ‎58. What can we learn from the story?‎ A. Giving is always a pleasure.‎ B. People should respect each other.‎ C. An act of kindness can bring people great joy. ‎ D. People should learn to appreciate others’ concern.‎ B Getting paid to talk about the World Cup is a great job. I’m not a football commentator(评论员), though--just an English teacher in Japan. I came to Japan two years ago, and didn’t think I would stay, but Japan has that effect on you. People often end up living here longer than they planned. I think it’s best to teach in a biggest city where there are other foreigners to mix with, rather than a small town where English teachers often complain of feeling like a goldfish in a bowl. Many people choose to live in Tokyo, of course, which is good for the nightlife factor. But I’d say that for general quality of living, cities of neither too large nor too small, like Sapporo where I live, are better choices. I teach English privately, which means I’m my own boss. If you want to devote yourself to private teaching, it’s well worth doing a TEFL course first, because your lessons will be much better for it. The problem with private teaching is finding students; it took me a year to build up a full schedule(日程表) of private lessons, so I started out teaching in schools part time. ‎ - 18 -‎ ‎ Most of my foreign friends here work full-time for big English conversation schools. The salary is fine to live on. But whether you can save money depends on how much going out and traveling you do here. The schools are reluctant to take time off – even teachers with tickets for the England-Argentina game had trouble getting the day off.‎ ‎59. From the passage we know in Japan the write likes to live in_______.‎ A. Tokyo B. a small town ‎ C. a city of middle size D. a big city ‎60. According to the writer, one had better ___ first to do private teaching better.‎ A. take a TEFL course B. decide his or her own lessons C. find students D. build up a full schedule ‎61. The underlined sentence in the second paragraph implies that_______.‎ A. there are many foreigners in Japan B. Japan is good for nightlife C. they can teach English privately in Japan D. Japan has something more attractive than expected ‎62. The underlined word “reluctant” in the passage may probably mean_____. ‎ ‎   A. kind            B. unwilling          C. free              D. careless 第五部分：单词拼写 （共10小题，每题1分）‎ 1.

Scott Fitzgerald, born on September 24, 1896, an American novelist, was once a student of St.Paul Academy, the Newman School and attended Princeton University for a short while. In 1917 he joined the army and was posted in Alabama, where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her.‎ ‎ His life with her was full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary, “My own happiness in the past often approached such joy that I could share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary.”‎ ‎ This side of paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920, encouraged by its success, Fitzgerald began to devote more time to his writing. Then he continued with the novel the Beautiful and Damned (1922), a collection of short stories Thales of the Jazz Age (1922), and a play The Vegetable (1923). But his greatest success was The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, which quick brought him praise from the literary world. Yet it failed to give him the needed financial security. Then, in 1926, he published another collection of short stories All the Sad Young Men.‎ ‎ However, Fitzgerald’s problems with his wife Zelda affected his writing. During the 1920s he tried to reorder his life, but failed. By 1930, his wife had her first breakdown and went to a Swiss clinic. During this period he completed novels Tender Is the Night in 1934 and The love of the last Tycoon in 1940. While his wife was in hospital in the United States, he got totally addicted to alcohol. Sheila Graham, his dear friend, helped him fight his alcoholism.‎ ‎21. How many novels written by Fitzgerald are mentioned in the passage?‎ ‎ A. 5 B. 6 C. 7 D. 8‎ ‎22. We can infer from the passage that Fitzgerald_______.‎ ‎ A. had made some money when he met Zelda in Alabama ‎ B. was well educated and well off before he served in the army ‎ C. would have completed more works if his wife hadn’t broken down ‎ D. helped his friend get rid of drinking while his wife was in hospital - 18 -‎ ‎23. The passage is probably followed by a concluding paragraph about _______ . ‎ A. Zelda’s personal life ‎ B. Zelda’s illness and treatment ‎ C. Fitzgerald’s friendship with Graham ‎ D. Fitzgerald’s contributions to the literary world ‎ B Rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are a major cause of climate change, and now a new study has confirmed that atmospheric CO2 is also affecting the ocean chemistry and potentially harming sea life.‎ Montana State University scientist Robert Dore has been researching the water in the Pacific Ocean for almost two decades.‎ ‎“We’ve been going to the same spot in the Pacific Ocean, and we try and characterize long-term change in the open ocean environment. And one of the key things that we measure is CO2 levels. And we’ve been able to record this increasing quantity of atmospheric CO2 into the ocean.”‎ Scientists expected that as atmospheric CO2 increased, more and more of the carbon dioxide would be absorbed into the ocean, affecting the chemical balance of the sea water, with a potentially harmful impact on shellfish and coral in particular.‎ ‎“As carbon dioxide dissolves (溶解) in the water, or seawater in this case, it forms a weak acid (酸), carbonic acid,” Dore explains. “And therefore, as the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere goes up and that exchanges with the surface seawater, it drives the pH down, and makes it more acidic.”‎ The seawater Dore and his colleagues have analyzed confirms what the theory predicts.‎ ‎ The effect was particular striking at about 250 meters down, and again at 500 meters. Dore and his colleagues came up with two possible explanations. It could be that surface water picked up CO2 and then moved to those depths. Or there could be a biological explanation.‎ ‎ “It’s important to realize that the oceans are really becoming acidic. And it can have negative impacts on a whole variety of sea life from fish to coral. It’s potentially catastrophic(灾难性的).”‎ ‎24. What can be the best title of the passage?‎ ‎ A. Sea Life Facing Danger B. Scientist Researching Seawater ‎ C. Oceans Becoming More Acidic D. Climate Change Affecting Seawater ‎25. Scientist Robert Dore came to the conclusion based on ________.‎ ‎ A. his research and analysis B. the expectation of other scientists - 18 -‎ ‎ C. some former theory D. a major cause of climate change ‎26. What does the passage want to tell us most? ‎ ‎ A. It takes time to make a scientific study.‎ ‎ B. Atmospheric CO2 is doing harm to sea life.‎ ‎ C. Robert Dore is a committed and serious scientist.‎ ‎ D. Measures should be taken to prevent the potential catastrophe.‎ C Over the last 70 years, researchers have been studying happy and unhappy people and finally found out ten factors that make a difference. Our feelings of well-being at any moment are determined to a certain degree by genes. However, of all the factors, wealth and age are the top two.‎ Money can buy a degree of happiness. But once you can afford to feed, clothe and house yourself, each extra dollar makes less and less difference.‎ Researchers find that, on average, wealthier people are happier. But the link between money and happiness is complex. In the past half-century, average income has sharply increased in developed countries, yet happiness levels have remained almost the same. Once your basic needs are met, money only seems to increase happiness if you have more than your friends, neighbors and colleagues.‎ ‎“Dollars buy status, and status makes people feel better,” conclude some experts, which helps explain why people who can seek status in other ways--scientists or actors, for example--may happily accept relatively poorly-paid jobs.‎ In a research, Professor Alex Michalos found that the people whose desires--not just for money, but for friends, family, job, health--rose furthest beyond what they already had, tended to be less happy than those who felt a smaller gap (差距). Indeed, the size of the gap predicted happiness about five times better than income alone. “The gap measures just blow away the only measures of income.” says Michalos.‎ Another factor that has to do with happiness is age. Old age may not be so bad “Given all the problems of aging, how could the elderly be more satisfied?”asks Professor Laura Carstensen.‎ In one survey, Carstensen interviewed 184 people between the ages of 18 and 94, and asked them to fill out an emotions questionnaire. She found that old people reported positive emotions just as often as young people, some scientists suggest older people may expect life to be harder and learn to live with it, or they’re more realistic about their time running out, older people have learned to focus on things that make them happy and let go of those that don’t.‎ - 18 -‎ ‎“People realize not only what they have, but also that what they have cannot last forever,” she says. “A goodbye kiss to a husband or wife at the age of 85, for example, may bring far more complex emotional responses than a similar kiss to a boy or girl friend at the age of 20.”‎ ‎27. According to the passage, the feeling of happiness______ .‎ ‎ A. is determined partly by genes B. increases gradually with age ‎ C. has little to do with wealth D. is measured by desires ‎28. Some actors would like to accept poorly-paid jobs because the jobs______ .‎ ‎ A. make them feel much better B. improve their social position ‎ C. provide chances to make friends D. satisfy their professional interests ‎29.
