第一节 (共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
A sick little gift is being kept alive thanks to her best friend--a dog who carries her oxygen tank on his back. Alida’s faithful dog companion Mr. Gibbs has been specially trained to shepherd the three-year-old, who breathes through a tube most of the time. He follows her closely as she plays in her family’s ten-acre land in Louisville, uses the slide or even rides her bike.
Alida was diagnosed(诊断)with neuroendocrine hyperplasia of infancy(NEHI神经内分泌增生)when she was just eight months old. Her rare condition has just eight hundred documented sufferers throughout the world, and causes diseased pieces of the lungs to filter(过滤)oxygen through extra layers(膜)of cells making it hard or almost impossible to breathe.
For Alida and her parents, it meant that even a walk in the park was very difficult because oxygen equipment was too heavy for the youngster to be able to carry herself. As parents they wanted to do something to help their daughter survive despite having a tube following her all the time. The couple found out about “service dogs” from a TV program and realized an animal trained to help the blind could be trained to help Alida. They finally found help in the shape of golden doodle—a retriever(寻回犬)crossed with a poodle-dog Mr. Gibbs. Now--thanks to trainer Ashleigh Kinsley—Alida and Mr. Gibbs love nothing more than playing and running around together with the dog acting as Alida’s life saver.
21. What is Mr. Gibbs?
A. A trained dog. B. A policeman. C. A doctor. D. A firefighter.
22. When did the doctor know Alicia caught the disease?
A. At her birth. B. At the age of eight.
13
C. Before she was one year old. D. When she was three years old.
23. The underlined part “the couple” in paragraph 3 refers to ________.
A. Alida’s classmates B. Alida’s parents C. Alida’s doctors D. Alida’s pets
24. How did Alicia keep alive?
A. By training her dog. B. By staying with her parents.
C. By playing with her fellows. D. By breathing through a tube.

You may think, salt is just a simple cooking element we shake on our food for a little extra taste. But salt is much more than that. Without salt our muscles would not move. Our nervous systems would not operate. Our hearts would not beat.
But do not think rubbing salt in a wound will help. Doing that would be painful and not heal the wound. To rub salt in a wound is an idiom that means to purposefully make a bad situation worse.
Early humans got the salt they needed to stay alive from the animals they killed. But advances in agriculture led to a diet low in salt. So, humans needed to find other sources. Those who lived near the ocean or other natural sources for salt were lucky. Those who did not had to trade for salt. In fact, people used salt as a method of payment in many parts of the ancient world. The word "salary" comes from the word "salt".
Salt also played an important part in population movement and world exploration. Explorers understood that if they could keep food fresh, they could travel longer distances. So they used salt to preserve food and explored the world.
Salt was so important that, according to food historians, it was traded pound-for-pound for
gold. Today, people still use the expressions "to be worth one's salt" or "worth one's weight in salt". The expressions describe a person of value.
A person might also be called salt of the earth. That description means he or she is dependable and trustworthy. However, when you say "I think we should take what he said with a grain of salt" you mean you accept it but maintain a degree of doubt about its truth.
28. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. Salt play's an important part in our life. B. Salt makes food tasty.
C. Salt is considered to be part of our muscles. D. Salt is sure to damage nervous systems.
29. A beggar's bread was stolen last night, which means .
A. salt of the earth B. rubbing salt in a wound
C. a diet low in salt D. worth his salt
30. If you describe a person as a great help, you mean .
A. he is called salt of the earth B. he is often taken as a grain
13
of salt
C. he often uses salt to preserve meat D. he is worth his weight in salt
31. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Salt Is More Than a Four-letter Word. B. Salt Is a Basic Element in Cooking.
C. Salt Is a Word with a Long History. D. Salt Is Popular with Different Persons.
D
As soon as you meet, or even see, a person, you form an impression of him based on his posture, gestures and facial expressions. This is why it is important to make a good first impression on the person who will be interviewing you. Within the first 60 seconds of meeting you, the interviewer will have formed an impression about what type of person you are and what kind of employee you would become, and 55% of this will be based only on your body language. Here are some tips to make that impression a good one.
First of all, relax. Think positive thoughts and you are more likely to come across as a positive, confident person during the interview. Dress smartly, as your appearance is one of the first things an interviewer will notice you. Stand up straight, and walk in with your shoulders back and your head up. Try to avoid slowing down as you walk into the room because this suggests fear and uncertainty. Shake hands with the interviewer firmly. You should have a positive handshake and a warm smile. Opening your coat or jacket as you sit down shows that you, too, are open.
Posture is important. You should be sitting well back in your seat. Sit up straight and lean forward slightly, but not too much. Sitting at too much of an angle (角度) expresses discomfort and distrust. Two of the most common defensive (防卫的) signals are crossing your arms and legs, so try to avoid them.
Another important issue is eye contact. Looking someone in the eye shows confidence in yourself and trust in the other person. However, don’t overdo it, as too much eye contact or staring will make the other person uncomfortable. Use more eye contact when listening than when talking, and when you look away, look down. Looking up at the ceiling will make you seem bored or rude.
32. The purpose of the first paragraph is to tell readers _____.
A. what a good first impression is
B. how to make a good first impression
C. how long it takes to make a first impression
D. the importance of making a good first impression
33. Which of the following does the author advise you to do when you are being interviewed?
13
A. Cross your arms or legs.
B. Open your coat or jacket when sitting down.
C. Go into the room more slowly than usual.
D. Avoid looking at the eyes of the interviewer directly.
34. If you lean forward too much, it means _____.
A. you are very bored B. you are too nervous
C. you don’t have confidence D. you don’t trust others
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. How to use body language to win an interview
B. How to answer questions in an interview
C. How to understand body language
D. How to deal with an interviewer

书面表达:
Dear Li Wei,
Glad to hear from you. I just want to share with you how I’m getting on well with my English study.
First of all, you should know clearly what you study for. As we know, English is one of the most widely used languages in the world. To be a capable person in your future life, you must learn English well.
Secondly, I think the basic thing to do is to memorize as many English words as possible. When you come across new words, you should write them down again and again.
13
Thirdly, you’d better read out English texts loudly every morning, learning phrases, useful expressions and sentence patterns. They are helpful in improving speaking and writing as well.
Last, grammar is also very important. You ought to listen to the teacher's lectures carefully in class. When you have trouble, you must ask for help in time.
Yours faithfully
