Growing up in a military(军人的) family, I moved a lot. I mostly went to 21 with other kids whose parents were also in the military. But when my dad 22 from the army after twenty years of service, I found myself 23 a civilian(平民的) school with twelve-year-olds who shared no similar life experience with me.
I was a stranger in a strange land. Everyone in my class had grown up together, and they had no room to 24 for a newcomer. I wore different clothes, had different thoughts, and spoke with an accent. I 25 for the first few weeks of school. I had no friends, no activities, and no 26 of a bright future. To deal with it all, I began 27 in my diary every day — stories of adventure, of old friends, of feelings that I could not speak. I wrote as if my life depended on it, as if the very next breath I took could not happen 28 I wrote down words.
One day, my teacher, Mrs. Bush, came to me and asked why I always sat there writing instead of playing with others. I told her I enjoyed writing and 29 writing to playing. She smiled at me and walked away. About three weeks later, Mrs. Bush gave us a writing assignment. I was 30 that I could now participate in something I knew I excelled in. That night I worked and worked on the essay. I wrote with great 31 . It was my one chance to feel important and 32 by the class.
A few days after we handed in our assignments, Mrs. Bush called me up to the 33 of the classroom. I stood before thirty pairs of eyes looking at me, and I got 34 . Was I in trouble? Did I do something wrong? Then Mrs. Bush told the class how much she 35 all the work that went into the essay and everyone had done a great job. But, she said, one student stood 36 as an excellent writer, one with imagination, creativity, and word mastery. That student was me! The class clapped politely and Mrs. Bush handed me my paper, with the following 37 on it: “Malinda, you are an excellent writer. You fill your paper with the breathing of your heart. Please keep on writing and share your 38 of writing with the world. I am proud of you and
glad you are in my class.”
Mrs. Bush helped me feel a sense of 39 , a place of purpose, and a way to survive a transition(转移, 过渡) in life. She helped me gain 40 in myself that stayed with me beyond sixth grade.

第一节：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
My mom takes pride in the fact that I was talking in three and four word sentences before I was ten months old. Some say it’s a gift while others simply think I talk too much.
As my thirties came to a close, I found myself reflecting on my life. I’m very happy and have no significant regrets. However, when I looked back on those times of difficulty, I saw a clear common denominator(特征); I didn’t seem to know when to stop talking. Whether it was hurting someone’s feelings, or having carelessly told a secret, the incident could have been avoided had I closed my mouth sooner. So I decided to practice the power of quiet.
To take this step, I needed to understand how people could sit comfortably in a group and not talk. Why does my husband feel completely content to say nothing in a conversation? He’s highly intelligent and has wonderful opinions but he’ll sit quietly and just listen. Even when he’s asked a pointed question, he’ll answer with few words while still communicating effectively. What a talent!
Can you imagine being happy just listening? In surveying those I know who talk less than I do, I got two answers—they either didn’t feel confident enough to speak up, or they just didn’t feel the need to participate in the conversation. Of course there were other reasons for not talking, but these were the two most popular answers.
The first one didn’t work for me. I’m just fine letting people know what I think about them, and hopefully it will make the conversation much more interesting. The second one didn’t work either. I do feel the need to participate. I feel it physically like an electrical pulse through my body; sometimes it’s so strong that it causes me to behave badly in the form of interrupting or speaking in an unusually loud voice. I had to look further.
An interesting thing happened on this journey to the power of quiet. During my weekly yoga class, it came to me like an answer so clear that the words rang in my head like soft, heavenly bells.
I talked too much so people would know I cared about them. It was my way of taking care of those I love. I decided before my fortieth birthday, that from that day forward, those around me would know I loved them, and cared what they thought and felt, but I was going to practice the power of quiet.
As my forty-second birthday approaches, I can say that deciding to talk less has been more about focusing on quality rather than quantity. I’ve found that listening more shows those who I care about that I really do care how they feel. Now when I break in, it means more to them. Oh, sure, I still have my short periods of talking too much, but for the most part this has been one resolution that I can call a success.
41. The writer was determined to practice the power of quiet because of ______.
A. other people’s criticisms B. her reflections on her past life
C. her mother’s advice D. her age
42. In Paragraph 3 the writer mentions her husband mainly ______.
A. to show how one communicates effectively
B. to explain the reason for his silence in a conversation
C. to give her high opinion of his communication skills
D. to give an example of those who have the power of quiet
43. By “I had to look further”, the writer means she had to ______.
A. look into the future in order to succeed in practicing the power of quiet
B. try harder to prevent herself from talking too much
C. find out other reasons why she should talk less
D. survey people in other areas who talk little
44. Which of the following best describe the writer’s character?
A. Kind but pessimistic. B. Selfless but proud.
C. Loving and active. D. Stubborn and sensitive.
45. The writer’s main purpose for writing this passage is to tell readers ______.
A. the importance of participation in conversation
B. the reasons for communication problems
C. the need to be concerned about other people
D. the difficulty in achieving her goal of talking less
B
Like international travelers anywhere, foreigners visiting the United States from other countries can be confused by some of what they encounter. Fortunately, their fellow travelers have plenty of advice. Here are some specially good travel advice from around the world.
From Italy:
Tipping is filled with misunderstanding. Q. Is it true that I have to “force” to tip at all? A. It is not mandatory to tip, however, it is strongly recommended, because in many cases it is the only entry of workers. Generally in a restaurant, in the cab, and in many places where there is a service tip is 15%. Since the bill that will explain you exactly the city tax of 8.875%, is sufficient to double that sum, without bothering to do the calculations. In the hotel you leave two dollars per day per person cleaning. Obviously you do not leave tips in places like McDonalds or Starbucks.
From China:
Americans love to follow rules, even when no one is looking. “Americans are such strict rule followers. I witnessed this once sitting on the sidelines of a high school dodge ball game. To me, it was ridiculous, a little violent, and very American. It struck me that my classmates followed the rules of the game so strictly. Even when no one noticed that a person had been hit and he could have kept playing, he voluntarily gave himself up and left the game. I was deeply impressed by how much people honored the rules even when they are not seen.”
From Russia:
Gifts are not a big deal. And did you know bribery (行贿) was illegal? “Gifts: Americans do not expect them. On the contrary, an unexpected gift while conducting business can put an American in an awkward position. Such things for Americans suggest exchange of commercial.
Business gifts in the U.S. are not acceptable. Moreover, they often cause suspicion. Americans fear that they could be interpreted as a bribe, and in the United States that is strictly punishable by law.”
From Japan:
Nobody is impressed by how much you can drink. “In the U.S., they do not have a sense of pride if they drink a large amount. Rather, if you drink a lot, there is a sense that you cannot manage yourself, and you can lose respect from those around you. Being drunk doesn't excuse your actions, and to drink alcohol habitually is a sign of alcoholism. Alcoholics are seen as mentally weak, and are avoided by society due to their inability to have self control.”
46. What does the passage mainly tell about?
A. Cultural diversity. B. Cultural differences.
C. Cultural revolution. D. Cultural construction.
47. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “mandatory” in Para. 3?
A. Required. B. Forbidden. C. Permitted. D. Arranged.
48. According to the passage, what are Americans most likely to do?
A. Tipping everywhere. B. Sending a surprising business present.
C. Drinking a lot. D. Obeying the game rules.
49. Which word do the international travelers probably use to describe Americans?
A. Confident. B. Self-disciplined. C. Selfless. D. Generous.
C
I had an experience some years ago which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I had to conduct two funerals on successive days for two elderly women in my community. Both had died “full of years” as the Bible would say; both yielded to the normal wearing out of the body after a long and full life. Their homes happened to be near each other, so I paid condolence (吊唁) calls on the two families on the same afternoon.
At the first home, the son of the dead woman said to me, “If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It's my fault that she died.” At the second home, the son of the other dead woman said, “If only I hadn’t insisted on my mother’s going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride, the abrupt change of climate, was more than she could take. It’s my fault that she's dead.”
When things don’t turn out as we would like them to, it is very tempting to assume that had we done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending. Priests(牧师) know that any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out badly, they believe that the opposite course - keeping Mother at home, delaying the operation would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse?
There seem to be two elements involved in our readiness to feel guilt. The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens. That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds.
The second element is the concept that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believing that every disaster is our fault. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood. Psychologists speak of the infantile(幼儿的) myth of omnipotence(万能). A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and orders the rest of the world to its tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely outgrow that infantile concept that our wishes cause things to happen.
50. What is said about the two dead elderly women?
A. They lived out a natural life. B. They died of exhaustion after the long plane ride.
C. They weren't accustomed to the change in weather. D. They died due to lack of care by family members.
51. The author had to conduct the two women's funerals probably because ______.
A. he wanted to comfort the two families B. he was an official from the community
C. he had great sympathy for the dead D. he was priest of the local church
52. People feel guilty for the deaths of their loved ones because ______.
A. they couldn't find a better way to express their deep sorrow
B. they believe that they were responsible
C. they had overlooked the natural course of events
D. they didn't know things often turn out in the opposite direction
53. In the context of the passage, “... the world makes sense” (Line 2, Para, 4) probably means that ______.
A. everything in the world is decided in advance
B. the world can be interpreted in different ways
C. there's an explanation for everything in the world
D. we have to be sensible in order to understand the world
54. People have been made to believe since infancy that ______.
A. everybody is at their command B. life and death is an unsolved mystery
C. every story should have a happy ending D. their wishes are the cause of everything that happens
D
As Rosalie Warren stood at the mailbox in the lobby of her apartment building in May 1980, she shared the anxiety of many other college seniors. In her hand was an envelope containing her final grades. As she nervously opened it, Warren wondered whether her hundreds of hours of studying had paid off.
They had.
“I got five A’s,” she still recalls with elation. “I almost fell on the floor!”
Warren would graduate from Suffolk University with a Bachelor of Science degree in philosophy and history at age 80. Three years later, at age 83; she would receive her second degree from Suffolk, a master’s in education.
Now, with both diplomas proudly displayed in her apartment, Warren is not finished with learning. Now 93, she continues for her 18th year at Suffolk under a program that allows persons 65 and over to attend classes tuition free. “It’s my life to go to school, to enjoy being in an academic atmosphere,” she says. “That’s what I love.”
Warren was born Rosalie Levey on Aug.29, 1900. Two years after she entered high school, her father died. Warren had to leave school for factory work to help support her family’s 10 children. Warren describes herself as a “person who always liked school,” and she says the move “broke my heart completely because I couldn’t finish high school.”
In the end, however, “I went to school nights,” she recalls. “Any place I could find an outlet of learning and teaching, I was there.”
A short time later, her mother became ill, and Warren had to care for her, once again putting her education on hold.
Finally, in 1921, her mother, now recovered, drew from her saving to send Warren to Boston University for two years to study typing, stenography, and office procedures.
Those courses helped Warren gain several long-term office positions over the next 60 years, but her great desire “to be in the academic field” continued.
In 1924, she married Eugene Warren, and seven years later, her daughter, Corinne, was born. In 1955, by then a widow and a grandmother, Warren took a bus tour across the United States that was to last nine months. She said she wanted to see “things you never see in the West End.”
When she returned home, she took a bookkeeping position and also enrolled in courses in philosophy, sociology and Chinese history.
In 1975, when she was 75, Warren learned from a neighbor about Suffolk University’s tuition- free program for senior citizens.” I was at the registrar’s office the very next day,” she recalls. At first, she took one or two courses at a time, but encouraged by her professors, she enrolled as a degree candidate.
“I had not studied for so many years,” she says, “but I was determined.” For the next four years, Warren, who calls herself a “student of philosophy,” worked toward her degree.
Nancy Stoll, dean of students at Suffolk, says Warren is “an interesting role model for our younger students---that learning is a lifetime activity….She is genuinely enthusiastic about being
here, and that permeates (散发) her activities and is contagious (传染的) to students and faculty.”
55. What does the word “elation” mean in the sentence “I got fives A’s”, she still recalls with elation”?
A. Great happiness B. Great surprise C. Great pride D. Great honor
56. How old was Warren when she got her first college degree?
A. She was 79 B. She was 23 C. She was 80 D. She was 75
57. What kind of work did she do for 60 years?
A. Studying B. Factory work C. Typing D. Office work
58. Which statement can be inferred from the underlined sentences?
A. Because Warren needn’t pay her tuition; she went to study at Suffolk University
B. At first Warren had to pay for her courses at Suffolk University
C. Most of the students at Suffolk University are older than 65
D. Suffolk University encourages older people to take courses
59. It can be inferred from this passage that Rosalie Warren _______.
A. came from a wealthy family B. didn’t like working in an office
C. put her family before her education D. didn’t like her family very much
60. What is the main topic of this passage?
A. Rosalie Warren’s family B. Rosalie Warren’s life
C. Rosalie Warren’s education D. Rosalie Warren’s studying at Suffolk University

Secrets of People Who Never Get Sick
How do some friends survive every winter without even catching a cold? Some experts believe that they boost their immunity through simple lifestyle habits. Let’s steal their strategies and stay healthy all winter long.
61. ________
It’s long been known that friendship is good for your health. In fact, people with six or more types of relationship in their lives were 25% less likely to get sick than those with three or fewer. It’s possible that people with various social networks have diverse perceptions of themselves --- as a co-worker, friend or community member. That boosts self-esteem and makes it easier to avoid stress. As a result, these people tend to stay healthier. Steal this secret: be open to meeting new people; go to new events and reestablish old friendship.
62. ________
Research has found that moderate exercise can improve immune function and build up resistance to colds and infections. On study of 36 overweight women, conducted at Loma Linda
University, in California, found that those who walked quickly for 45 minutes 5 days a week reported half the number of days with cold symptoms during a 15-week period as their sedentary(久坐的) counterparts. Steal the secret: aim for 40 to 45 minutes of moderate exercise, such as brisk walking, cycling, swimming or light running, at least five days a week.
63. ________
Numerous studies have found that writing about a difficult or painful event not only accelerates the process of coping with it, but also can improve your physical health. When people write about upsetting or distressing experiences, it helps them judge the events more sensibly, understand them better and move on. Steal the secret: set aside twenty minutes a day for three successive days to write about the things that are most important to you now and how they’re affecting you.
64. ________
Even small pleasures --- having friends over for dinner, playing with your kids in the backyard or going to a concert -- can boost your immune system. In fact, according to research at the State University of New York, positive events have a better effect on immune function than negative events. Steal this secret: make time for yourself. Start devoting at least half an hour a day to talking to a friend, reading a book or indulging in your favorite activity. Think of it as preventive medicine.
65. ________
Experts know that pressure increases the chance of catching the cold. The reason? Your body’s helper --- T cells, which are key to defending against viruses, become weakened when you’re worn out. Steal the secret: do some problem-solving. First, take a hard look at the situation and really consider whether you can do anything to change things. If you conclude that you can’t change that situation, try to change your physical and emotional reactions to it. Engaging in meditation, yoga or deep-breathing exercises and listing to calming music also help relieve stress.

Dear Visitors,
Welcome to Hangzhou. Hangzhou is a beautiful city famous for her West Lake. As the number of visitor increasing year by year, we are sorry to see empty bottles and plastic bags floated on the lake, and even flowers picked up and trees destroyed, which does harm to the image of the city. I must appeal to everyone to behave properly. Here and now I strongly suggest:
First, strengthen the environment-protecting awareness of the people who throws rubbish here and there random. Second, it’s high time that the government takes further measures to protect the beauty of West Lake such as placing good-looking dustbins at visitors’ convenience. Third, be a volunteer to beautify the lake now and then, but I believe with the joint efforts of everyone there will exist forever the saying “Up above there is heaven; down below there are Suzhou and Hangzhou”.

Possible version
Put ourselves in others’ shoes” is what we mean by the term “transpositional consideration”, which, in the fiercely-competitive society, is referred to as the guarantee of getting along well with each other.
I’d like to take what happened last week as a case in point. Last Sunday, Li Yue failed to perform his duty to clean the bedroom with the result that it was ranked last. Guilt as he felt, he remained blamed by some roommates. I, who was in charge of the bedroom, trying in his shoes, found that he had been delayed by the traffic jam on the way back to school. I felt duty-bound to iron out the misunderstanding between us. With the truth coming to light, we all bare our hearts to each other now.
For the sake of enjoying a more harmonious life, it is crucial for us to mold a new life philosophy: put ourselves in others’ position to figure out what they care about and what they are going to do!
