Now I think it’s time.Early last season, I wrote a column(专栏) about an act of kindness I had seen Jordan do to a disabled child outside the Stadium. After it ran, I got a call from a man in the western suburbs. He said, “I read what you wrote about Jordan, but I thought I should tell you another thing I saw.”Here it comes, I thought. It always does. Write something nice about a person, and people call you up to say that the person is not so nice.A few weeks later Jordan and I were talking about something else before a game, and I brought up what the man had said. Was the man right? Has Jordan really been talking to those two boys in that poor and dirty neighborhood?“Not two boys,” Jordan said, “but four.”And he named them. He said four names.And what d id they talk about?“Everything,” Jordan said. “I’ve asked to see their grades so that I can check whether they’re paying attention to their schoolwork. If it turns out one or two of them may need teaching, I make sure they get it.”It’s just one more part of Michael Jordan’s life, one more thing that no one knows about, one more thing Jordan does right. The NBA season is over now, and those boys have their memories. So do I! When the expert reviewers begin to turn against Jordan, as they surely will, I’ll think about those boys under the streetlight, waiting for the man they know to come, for someone they can depend on.61. That man called after reading about what Jordan did to a disabled child because he wanted t o_______.A. become famous himselfB. know why Jordan appeared in a poor areaC. let the author know that Jordan was not that niceD. offer another example to show that Jordan was a nice man62. What can we learn from this passage?A. Jordan is not such a great person.B. Jordan deserves the admiration he had from others.C. Jordan is always ready to make friends with young people.D. Jordan is willing to do whatever he can for the good of society.63. What does the underlined word “ran” probably mean?A. Published.B. Finished.C. Disappeared.D. Drove.64. Which of the following is NOT the reason why the author wrote this passage?A. He would like to keep the promise he had made.B. He thought it was time to help the disabled children.C. He hated to see Jordan become someone else’s target(靶子).D. He was impressed by Jordan’s deeds for the ordinary poor.BLong Beach lies in south-western Washington, and it is generally called Long Beach Peninsula. Communities there take you back to the old days of a simple and slow-paced lifestyle. There, visitors can relax and have fun through various activities.Bird watchingThere are many kinds of birds that can be found in Long Beach. It is the best if you observe from a distance. If you walk close to them, they may be spooked and fly away. Don’t forget to take a camera and take pictures of the various birds there.HorsesA popular activity in Long Beach is horseback riding.

Great tourist spots in south-western Washington.CHow do successful people think? What drives them? Interviews and investigations show that there are several keys to success that successful people share.First of all, successful people never blame someone or something outside of themse lves for their failure to go ahead. They realize that their future lies in their own hands. They understand that they cannot control things in life, such as nature, the past and other people. But in the meantime, they are well aware that they can control their own thoughts and actions. They take responsibility for their life and regard this as one of the most empowering (给人以权力的)things they can do .Perhaps what most separates s uccessful people from others is that they live life “on purpose”---they are doing what they believe they are put here to do .In their opinion, having a purpose in their life is the most important fact that enables them to become fully functioning people. They hold that when they live their life on purpose ,their main concern is to do the job right .They love what they do ---and it shows people want to do business with them because of their devotion to their jobs. To live their life on purpose, successful people find a cause they believe in and create a business around it. Besides, they never easily give up. Once they have set up goals in their life, they are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. Top achievers always keep in mind that they don’t hav e forever. Rather than seeing it negative or depressing, they use the knowl edge to encourage themselves to move on and go after what they want energetically and passionately.69. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. How do people live their life on purpose?B. How can people be successful?C. How do people make plans?D. How do people do business?70. By living life “on purpose ”successful people can ________A. do a lot of work without using more money.B. concentrate on their jobsC. do business with many people easily.D. share what they have with every one unselfishly.71.The pronoun “it” (Li ne 9.Para.2) refers to _____A. the main concern of successful peopleB. the job that successful people doC. the devotion with which successful people do their jobD. the business that successful people do with other people.DAlmost every person uses the Web for something nowadays. This is a good idea since it is useful for so many different things. When you consider its speed and convenience, you will understand that there isn’t any reason to use any other means to complete everyday jobs.Just consider the convenience factor when you need quick simple information. Looking for a movie can take just minutes by jumping online as opposed to going and getting a newspaper and then hoping it has the theater that interests you. It is also a great way to find a restaurant for the evening. From the online yellow pages to the various websites of different eateries(餐馆), there are many different choices of spots to gather information. Find old friends from school by joining in one of the end less groups that have been created to put people together.Information is just so easy to get when you are using the Web. Find out how to build a pond yourself in your own backyard or garden by a quick search. Then shop for materials and fish as well. Shopping on the Internet also saves time and we can select a better product without having to travel a long distance. Using the Internet, shoppers can go through the product’s prices from various stores while sitting in one place.Studying for school of any kind is easier when you can use the Web to find information. Now you can search an online dictionary that anyone can use at no cost. Doing research is easy, since there are lots of sites devoted to helping students of any type get their work completed.Businesses also have a huge existence on the Web. A company might only have a simple website to give directions and its location. There are many of us who now depend on the Web. If a business does not have some type of website, then it will not be found by those who search the Web for local businesses.72. We can learn from the passage that _______.A. old friends can be found on the WebB. sites devoted to helping students are difficult to findC. an online dictionary is expensive for students to useD. products on the Web are cheaper than those in a store73.The following are mentioned in the passage showing that the Web brings convenienceEXCEPT for _______.A. looking for a movieB. finding a restaurantC. doing the shoppingD. getting a newspaper74. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. A company’s website has become a necessity.B. Every company has a website to give directions and its location.C. Businesses which have no huge existence on the Web won’t be found.D. There are too many people who prefer to do business on the Web now.75. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The Web is making our life colorful.B. The network speed is fast now.C. Most of us depend on the Web.D. The Web is making our life convenient. 五．短文改错（每小题1分，满分10分）Ladies and gentlemen,May I have your attentions, please? In Saturday, July 27th, there will have some visits to different places.

AThanksgiving Day is special holiday in the United States and Canada. Families and friends gather to eat and give thanks for their blessing.Thanksgiving Day is really a harvest festival. This is why it is celebrated in late fall, after the crops are in. But one of the first thanksgivings in America had nothing to do with a good harvest. On December 4, 1619, the Pilgrims from England landed near what is now Charles City, Virginia. They knelt down and thanked God for their safe journey across the Atlantic.The first New England Thanksgiving did celebrate a rich harvest. The Pilgrims landed at what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1620. They had a difficult time and the first winter was cruel. Many of the Pilgrims died. But the next year, they had a good harvest. So Governor Bradford declared a three-day feast（盛宴）. The Pilgrims invited Indian friends to join them for their special feast. Everyone brought food.In time, other colonies（殖民地）began to celebrate a day of thanksgiving. But it took years before there was a national Thanksgiving Day. During the Civil War, Sarah Josepha Hale persuaded Abraham Lincoln to do something about it. He proclaimed（宣布）the last Thursday of November 1863 as a day of thanksgiving. Today, Americans celebrate this happy harvest festival on the fourth Thursday in November. Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving Day in much the same way as their American neighbours. But the Canadian thanks-giving Day falls on the second Monday in October.1. The first to celebrate thanksgiving were .A. some people from EnglandB. the American IndiansC. Sarah Josepha HaleD. Governor Bradford2. We can infer from the passage that New England must be .A. in the U. S. A.B. in Great BritainC. in CanadaD. on some island off the Atlantic3. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Thanksgiving Day used to be a holiday to celebrate a good harvest.B. Abraham Lincoln was not the first to decide on thanksgiving celebrations.C. Thanksgiving Day is celebrated to express the American and Indian people’s thanks toGod.D. There’s l ittle difference between the American way and the Canadian way to celebrateThanksgiving Day.4. The passage mainly tells us .A. how Thanksgiving Day is celebrated in the U. S. A.B. how Thanksgiving Day came into being and the different ways it is celebratedC. that Thanksgiving Day is in fact a harvest holidayD. how the way to celebrate Thanksgiving Day changed with the time and placesBHow Americans Began to Eat TomatoesPeople have strange ideas about food. For example, the tomato is a kind of very delicious vegetable. It is one of useful plants that can be prepared in many ways. It has rich nutrition and vitamin in it. But in the 18th century, Americans never ate tomatoes. They grew them in their gardens because tomato plants are so pretty. But they thought the vegetable was poisonous (有毒的). They called tomatoes “poison apples.”President Thomas Jefferson, however, knew that tomatoes were good to eat. He was a learned man. He had been to Paris, where he learned to love the taste of tomatoes. He grew many kinds of tomatoes in his garden. The President taught his cook a way for a cream of tomato soup. This beautiful pink soup was served at the President’s party. The guests thought the soup tasted really good. They never thought their president would serve his honored guests poison apples. Jefferson never spoke to his honored (忠实的) guests about the fact.5. After you read the passage, which of the following do you think is true?A. Americans never ate tomatoes after they began to plant them.B. Americans didn’t eat tomatoes before 19th century.C. Even now Americans don’t eat tomatoes.D. In the 18th century Americans ate a lot of tomatoes.6. The passage tells us that Jefferson was a President who learned to love the taste oftomatoes .A. while he was in ParisB. when he was a little boyC. because his parents told him soD.rom books7. According to the text, _______ made the beautiful pink soup served at the President’sparty?A. the President himselfB. a French cookC. the President’s cookD. the President’s wife8. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. All of the guests knew the soup that was served at the President’s party was made oftomatoes.B. All of the guests thought the soup which was prepared by the President’s cook was nice.C. All of the guests thought the taste of the beautiful pink soup was nice.D. None of the guests knew that their president would serve his honored guests poisonapples.CMeeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signals(信号). Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who istrying to develop a relationship.Different cultures emphasize(强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “small talk”, usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries—like the UK or France—people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand.I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment(多元文化环境) will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other,9. The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that_________.A. the English prefer to make long speechesB. too many words are of no useC. people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nameD. even talk and silence can be culturally different10. According to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better?A. By sharing different ways of lifeB. By accepting different babitsC. By recognizing different valuesD. By speaking each other’s languages11. What would be the best title for the text?A. Multicultural EnvironmentB. Cross-Cultural DifferencesC. How to Understand Each OtherD. How to Build up a RelationshipDIn choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities (品质) of chara cter, especially understanding, honesty and reliability (可靠).Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person's place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults (过错) in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on (信赖) a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience (经验) and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor (幽默), too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I've found a friend!12. Which of the following qualities the writer thinks is the most important in choosing afriend?A．understanding. B. honesty. C. reliability. D. a sense of humor.13. If you have fair weather friends, ______ .A. they will give you all that they have when you need helpB. you will be refused when you get into troubleC. you will become richD. you can be sure that you get real friends14．Good friends need to ______.A. always point out each other's mistakesB. be helped with moneyC. understand each other's feelingsD. have money or luck15．This passage mainly discuss ______ .A. the qualities of a friendB. where to choose friendsC. how to get along with friendsD. the importance of having a friend第二节根据短文内容，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。

Each passage is fol lowed by several questions or un-finished statements. For each of them there are four choices m arked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)It was the first day of second grade, and Sarah had been loo king forward to this moment. The night before, she laid out her f avorite clothes: a white coat and a bright yellow shirt.When having breakfast, Sarah dropped some food on her sh irt, so she had to change into her second-best clothes, blue jeans and a Jonas Brothers T-shirt.After breakfast Sarah rushed to catch the school bus and wh en she was just reaching the door the bus driver opened it. The door hit right in Sarah’s face and blood dripped from her nose. The driver wanted to send her home, but she refused, "It is the most important day of the year! I can’t miss it!"Before classes, Sarah went to her favorite swing. When risin g high, she saw her best friend little Jack. She let go of the swin g and waved to him with one hand. Unfortunately, she flew outof the swing and landed hard on the sand, breaking a leg and a n arm. As she lay in the sand, she noticed a shiny thing on the ground beside her. With her good hand she took it.When Sarah’ mother rushed into the ward she was surprised by what she saw: her girl was lying in bed with an arm and a le g in the splint (夹板), a broken nose, and blood stains on her second-best clothes. Expecting to see her child crying, she was confus ed when she saw a big, bright smile on Sarah’s face."Sarah, look at you!" her mother cried. "You were hurt so ba dly and why are you smiling?""Look, Mommy, I found a diamond!" Sarah laughed.Life can be like that. It can be tough, even painful sometimes . But there are always treasures that make the pain worth suffer ing.66. When Sarah went to school, she was wearing ____________ ____.A. a white coat and a Jonas Brothers T-shirtB. blue jeans and a yellow shirtC. a white coat and a yellow shirtD. blue jeans and a Jonas Brothers T-shirt67. Sarah fell off the swing because _____________.A. she seldom played swingB. she rose too highC. she waved one hand to her friendD. she was pulled down by her friend68. When Sarah’s mother saw her in the ward she felt ________ _______.A. upsetB. puzzledC. relaxedD. disappointed69. Which of the following can be used to describe Sarah’s stor y?A. Every cloud has a silver lining.B. Nothing is impossible to a willing mind.C. First think, then act.D. No pains, no gains.(B)How difficult change is depends a lot on your attitude toward s it and your resistance to it. Your attitude to change can make t he whole transformation process much easier.Imagine change as a pair of shoes and this will help you und erstand change and how it works. I am sure that you have ever had a comfortable pair of shoes in your life. A pair of shoes is so comfortable that you really don’t want to get rid of them.You know you need a new pair, and may even have them, b ut you don’t want to wear them because you are comfortable wi th your current pair. Besides, the new pair may hurt your feet, gi ve you blisters(水疱) or be awkward to wear to start with. So, you resist the new s hoes. However, you know that this new pair would be much bett er for your feet, and after the initial discomfort they would proba bly be even more comfortable, yet you still resist.Do you know I’m doing this now? I’m wearing my comfortabl e shoes and they feel good. They have a hole in each heel, and the sole is starting to fall off, but I’m persisting in wearing them.This describes change exactly; change of our habits, change of our thought patterns. We stick with the old patterns because they are comfortable. Yet once we get over the initial pain of the transformation, the new pattern will be comfortable and feel go od until the time comes when we need another new pair of sho es.70. Why do people prefer old shoes to new ones?A. They have much emotion in the old ones.B. They are more comfortable.C. New shoes always harm the feet.D. They look better than the new ones.71. According to the passage, we know that people ______.A. don’t realize the benefit of the new shoes very wellB. are positive and open-minded to accept new thingsC. actually know the change will finally be good for themD. don’t accept new patterns because they are not good72. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Once we form a habit, it’s difficult to change it.B. Most people pay more attention to the future life.C. One’s attitude towards something is usually traditional.D. The more often we change, the better our life will be.(C)It seems hard to watch someone yawn and not to yawn ours elves. 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 dee ply 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, th ey never do. Yawning might help doctors to see whether the chi ldren are developing rightly. The work could also lead to a bette r understanding of the ways that people communicate and conn ect."Emotional infection seems to be a born thing that connects us together," said Molly Helt, a graduate student in psychology at the of . "Yawning may be part of that." Inspiration for her stu dy 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 real ly 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 h ave minds that are different from others’," she added. "Autistic p eople never seem to understand that."Like infectious laughter and crying, scientists have found tha t yawning is a shared experience that promotes social connecti on. Helt said it could fight stress after a period of being nervous and spread a feeling of calm through a group.73. What does the new study suggest, according to the first two paragraphs?A. It is easy to stop yawning when you see others yawn.B. Yawning has some mysterious force which is related to God.C. Children follow others in yawning just after they are born.D. Yawning is a form of communication.74. According to Molly Helt, _________________.A. emotions are infectious, but yawning is notB. yawning helps clear ears on planesC. humans differ from animals because they communicate with othersD. yawning is a kind of emotional connection among humans75. 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. Yawning can be used to test children’s development.D. Kids with autism yawn easily when others yawn.76. The author implies in the last paragraph that ________.A. it is bad manners to yawn on some social occasionsB. yawning can make people feel relaxedC. yawning is different from infectious laughter and crying in the oryD. the more you yawn, the happier you will beSection D (4')Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the que stions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. They leap from helicopters or speeding boats, bringing aid to swimmers who get into trouble off ’s popular beaches.Hundreds of specially trained dogs from Italy’s corps of cani ne(犬类的) lifeguards set out each summer to help swimmers in need o f rescue.These "life dogs" wear a harness that victims can grab to be dragged back to shore, and unlike human lifeguards, they can e asily jump from helicopters and speeding boats to reach swimm ers in trouble.With millions flocking to Italy’s crowded beaches each summ er, the Italian Coast Guard says it rescues about 3,000 people every year —and their canine helpers have saved several lives.It takes three years for the canines to reach expert rescue st atus, and currently 300 dogs are fully trained for duty, said Rob erto Gasbarri, who directs the Italian School of Canine Lifeguards program."Dogs are of good physical strength. They can increase the speed at which victims are rescued," Gasbarri said."The dog becomes a sort of intelligent lifebuoy(救生圈). It is a buoy that goes by itself to a person in need of help, a nd comes back to the shore also by himself, choosing the best l anding point and swimming through the safest currents," he sai d.The school will train any breed, as long as they weigh at lea st 30 kilograms, but New found lands and golden retrievers are most commonly used because they are good at swimming. Eac h dog works together with a human lifeguard, who also acts as t he animal’s trainer."Being retrievers, they set out to pick up anything we tell the m, be it a human being, an object, or a fish, and they bring it ba ck to the shore," said lifeguard Monia Luciani. "They do not ass ociate it with a physical activity, but it is rather a game for them. "77. The dogs wear a harness so that __________.78. The dogs are helpful to _________.79.
