I was studying theater at Southern Methodist University In Dallas and feeling anxious and
uncertain about my future. Will I be able to support myself? I 36 . That summer, I decided to
see if I could 37 it on my own.
Two girlfriends and I piled into a car and 38 to Aspen, Colo. Where I found a job as
a maid at a resort hotel. I don’t remember what I 39 , but it was so little that I lived on
spaghetti, brown rice and Kool-Aid.
I was at the hotel by six o’clock every morning to 40 with continental breakfast.
When breakfast was finished, I cleaned the room 41 it was served and then the conference
rooms and lobby restrooms. I had never been in a men’s room before, and I was always terrified at
someone 42 in while I was on my knees scrubbing the floors and toilets
I came from an upper-middle-class background, and my parents’ friends always treated
me 43 . But now that I was a servant, I found that many of the guests of the same
background were not so nice. That was a 44 .
People were 45 to serve themselves at the continental breakfast; it was my
46 to walk around the room and refill coffee and juice. But some people wanted me to do
47 for them. I remembered one man who kept 48 me to get his food and demanding
things we did not 49 . He was also very critical. Even though I wanted to say, “Go and get
it yourself.” I knew it was my job to be 50 and do in a nice way whatever I was told. So I’d
take a deep 51 and somehow get what he wanted.
Still, I have never forgotten how it felt to be spoken to so 52 . Today, whenever
I am in a cab or a restaurant, I always try to be as thoughtful as possible. Serviceindustry jobs are
not easy, and they’re even 53 when people treat you like dirt.
My first job also helped me gain confidence. After that summer I realized that what I
had been afraid of in acting was 54 . I now knew that it would be worse if I failed at it
without really trying. I decided to give it all my 55 . If I failed, at least I would always
know that I had done my best.

A
One afternoon last fall in Edmonton, best friends Katelynn and Erikka were watching their
favourite television show and snacking on candies. Suddenly, Erikka began choking.
Having just completed the CPR courses in her physical education class, Katelynn sprung(跳
起来) into action, performing the Heimlich Manoeuvre. It didn’t work at first, Katelynn says, so
she tried a different position and all of a sudden a green Jube shot straight out of Erikka’s mouth
and landed on the floor in front of them.
“Since this happened, I just give her (Katelynn) lots and lots of hugs and thank her constantly
for saving my life and I tell her I would save her life, too, if she were to ever need me! I tell
everyone that taking a first aid course is very important because it teaches us how to save lives. It
really does work!” Erikka says.
Katelynn adds, “It makes me feel much more confident and smarter knowing I can save a life.
I know that I can actually put my training to use in an emergency, whether it’s to save the life of a
family member, a friend or someone out in the community.”
Filled with enthusiasm, Erikka says, “There are so many areas in my life where I can use my
first aid training. For example, I’m an athlete and I play lots of different sports. Things can happen
on the field or at an athletic event, where my training could make a big difference and all of us
baby-sit, which means you never know when you will be called upon in the case of an emergency.
I am really glad I’ve had this training because I can use it again and again!”
56.What happened to Erikka when she was snacking with Katelynn one afternoon last fall?
A. She suddenly became very ill. B. She suddenly lost her consciousness.
C. Something got stuck in her throat. D. Her throat is ill.

A. there are possible dangers in many areas of life
B. students should get trained in every way
C. we should help others who are in danger
D. people should get trained to save other people’s life
59.From the passage, we can know that Erikka is a(n) ______.
A. student B. nurse C. athlete D. doctor
60.What would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Importance of First Aid B. A Friend in Need Is a Friend Indeed.

As the Russian's most successful gymnast, she is tall and elegant - Svetlana Khorkina is more
than a champion, she is a star.
Khorkina was born on January 19, 1979, in Belgorod. She was introduced to gymnastics by
her mother when she was only 4 years old. When was asked how to start her gymnastics career,
she smiled: "As a child, I was very picky(挑剔) with my food. My mother hoped that if she put
me into gymnastics, I would start eating breakfast , after having spent a lot of energy in the gym."
Her coach wanted her to train in rhythmic gymnastics because of her body type, but Khorkina
insisted on learning artistic gymnastics. Boris Pilkin was the only coach throughout her entire
career. Then her height, normally considered a negative in gymnastics, became a positive.
For the past 10 years, Khorkina also did much for the Russian gymnastic team. Many times
she had to take part in competitions with wounds, and she managed to win!
Please remember the period when Khorkina bravely entered the world of show business, and
had even more courage to enter the world of theater. She was successful there! She was supposed
to quit gymnastics after becoming a famous person, but she did not! "You should perform for us!"
said her coach and fans as they understood that there were no such strong gymnasts as Khorkina in
the Russian team.
In , Khorkina, 25 years old, announced that she would retire after the Athens Olympics. She
wanted to end her gymnastics career with a gold medal, so she went to Athens. But the result
disappointed her, she gained only a silver on individual all-around and a bronze on team. "Actually,
I feel I'm capable of competing still, but I believe it's time for me to finish. As any other woman
does, I'd like to have a family. I'd like to have kids. I'd like to be loved." Khorkina said. She is an
artist in a sport that doesn't reward artistry anymore, old in a sport that worships youth. So it's time
for her to leave.
On August, 19, , she played the artist one final time. Even Olympic boss Jacques Rogge
stopped by. Asked to name his favorite gymnast, he replied, "Khorkina. She's a real woman."

advantage.
C.It was usually thought unsuitable for gymnastics.

63.Khorkina tried all of the following careers except ______.
A.sports B.show business C.the world of theater D.teaching
gymnastics
64.Which of the following can describe Khorkina’s feelings at the Athens Olympics?
A.Disappointed B.Sorrowful C.Successful D.Surprised

C
A hobby can be almost anything a person likes to do in his spare time. Hobbyists raise pets,
build model ships, weave baskets, watch birds, hunt animals, climb mountains, raise flowers, fish,
ski, skate and swim. Hobbyists also paint pictures, attend concerts and plays, and perform on
musical instruments. They collect everything from books to butterflies and from shells to stamps.
People take up hobbies because these activities offer enjoyment, friendship, knowledge, and
relaxation. Sometimes they even give financial(财政)profits(利润).Hobbies help people relax after
periods of hard work, and provide a balance between work and play. Hobbies also offer interesting
activities for persons who have retired. Anyone, rich or poor, old or young, sick or well, can
follow a satisfying hobby, regardless of his age, position, or income.
Hobbies can help a person’s mental and physical health. Doctors have found that
hobbies are valuable in helping patients recover from physical or mental illness. Hobbies give
bedridden or wheel-chair patients something to do, and provide interests that keep them from
thinking about themselves. Many hospitals treat patients by having them take up interesting
hobbies or pastimes(娱乐).
In early times, most people were too busy making a living to have many hobbies. But some
persons who had spare time did enjoy hobbies. The ancient Egyptians played games with balls
made of wood, pottery(陶器).
People today have more time than ever before for hobbies. Machines have reduced the
amount of time they must spend on their jobs. Hobbies provide variety for workers who do the
same unchanging tasks all day long. More people are retiring than ever before, and at an earlier
age. Those who have developed hobbies never need to worry about what to do with their newly
found spare time hours.
Sir William Osier, a famous Canadian doctor expressed the value of hobbies by saying,
“No man is really happy or safe without a hobby”.
66.Which of the following is right?
A. Hobby is one’s regular activity in his office.
B. Hobby is one’s regular activity in his spare time.
C. Hobby is a kind of activity only for old people.
D. Hobby is a kind of activity only for young people.
67.It seems that people who ______ may spend more time enjoying their hobbies.
A. have little money B. have much money
C. have retired from their work D. have left school
68.The phrase “recover from” in the third paragraph means______.
A. get back B. become healthy again
C. become calm D. supply with a new cover
69.In early times, most people spent less time on their hobbies, because ______.
A. they were brave and hard-working B. the living conditions were poor
C. they were engaged in making a living D. B and C
70.What’s the writer’s opinion about hobbies?

第二卷 (共 25 分)
第一节 阅读表达(共 5 小题:每小题 2 分,满分 10 分)
阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的字数要求,请把答案写在
答题纸上)
Maybe you are an average student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This
is not necessary so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here is
how.
Plan your time carefully.
When planning your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After
making the list, you should make a schedule of your time. First arrange your time for eating,
sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don’t forget to set aside
enough time for entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all the problems, but it will
force you to realize what is happening to your time.
Find a good place to study.
Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this place, which may be a desk or simply
a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios or TV! When you
sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.
Make good use of your time in class.
Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says. Really listening in class
means less work later. Taking class notes will help you remember what the teacher says.
Study regularly.
When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points that your
teacher has mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day,
read the material. This will help you understand the next class. If you do these things regularly, the
material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.
Develop a good attitude about the tests.
The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you to
remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be overly
worried.
There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover
many others after you have tried these.
