I’d wanted 44 anything to be allowed to climb the walls surrounding the property. The walls were old; some stones were 45 , others loose. Still, my desire to climb across those walls 46 so strong that finally, one spring weekend, I took all my 47 and entered the living room, where the 48 had gathered after Sunday dinner.“I, I wanna climb the stone walls,” I said hesitantly（迟疑地）. 49 a chorus（齐声）went up from the women in the room. “Heavens, no!” they cried. “You’ll hurt yourself!” I wasn’t too 50 ; the response was just as I’d expected. But 51 I could leave the room, I was 52 by my grandfather’s loud voice. “Now 53 just a minute,” I heard him say. “Let the boy climb the stone walls. 54 , he has to learn to do things for himself.”For the next two hours I climbed those old walls and had the time of my life. Later I told my grandfather about my 55 . I’ll never forget what he said. “Fred,” he said, smiling, “you made this day a (an) 56 day just by being yourself. Always remember, there’s only one person in this whole world like 57 , and I like you exactly as you are.”Many years have passed since then, and today I 58 the television program Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, seen by millions of children.

I’m no longer invited to events and she’s usually busy when I suggest we get together. She had been emailing jokes to me a few times a week, but now that has even stopped.The problem is that our daughters are both in their early teens and now my daughter is being phased out, too –not invited to her friend’s birthday party next week, her daughter was busy and not able to come to our house, and so on. I’m hurt. I’m mad. But I want this to be done and over. How do I get over this? What do I say to my daughter? For my girl’s sake, I don’t want to burn any bridges.Best regardsMissy Dear Missy,It sounds like your friend is backing off from the friendship without directly telling you. If this friendship is important to you, ask your friend if you did something to upset her or make her angry. If not, you may just need to accept that the friendship has ended.This situation is complicated (复杂) because of your daughter. It may be that she is being phased out because of you, or it could be that you are being phased out because of her. It’s possible that your friend’s daughter is no longer interested in being friends with your daughter, and her mother doesn’t quite know how to handle it .No matter what comes first, you need to encourage your daughter to find new friends. Since you all run in the same social circles, it is wise of neither of you nor your daughter to express anger. Just move on. Hope this helps.Best regardsIrene61.

Missy’s friend is taking Missy out of her lifeB. the daughter of Missy’s friend doesn’t want her mom to be friends with MissyC. the daughter of Missy’s friend doesn’t want to be friends with Missy’s daughter any moreD.

According to Irene, it seems to be wise for Missy’s daughter to ____________.A. stay in Missy’s social circleB. find new friends for MissyC. apologize to her friendD. find some new friendsBI have never understood why so many people visit Rome from late spring to early autumn, when traffic, heat and stressed shopkeepers and waiters lead to the lower tone of the city. Things improve a little in March, April, October and November.But connoisseurs(鉴赏家) know that winter is the best time to go there. In winter, the low-flying sun turns Rome into a wonderful stage set. There are days in winter when the sky is kind of blue. And there are also days when you find that you have beautiful sights all to yourself.Perhaps the only period you might want to avoid is the two weeks before Christmas. Italians often leave their shopping late, and traffic in the city is often heavy. But this can also be a good time to come if you are more interested in culture than in fashion shops; if you stay somewhere central, you can beat the traffic by walking everywhere.Christmas in Rome is a low-key(低调的) family event. One of the nice things is the way the city keeps going. Although museums and shops are closed, many bars and restaurants stay open, and public transport continues to run.If you are lucky with the weather, it’s in January and February th at Rome is at its best. Late February can be especially attractive. One sometimes forgets what a difference that extra hour of daylight makes compared with mid-December. And there are always a few days of proper sunshine, when you can picnic in Villa Borghese and Pompeii.66. In which of the following periods would the writer most probably advise us to visit Rome?A. Late spring.B. Mid-summer.C. Early autumn.D.Mid-winter.67. We know that during the two weeks before Christmas, ________________.A. many foreign people go to Rome for shoppingB. travelers in Italy can enjoy Italian cultureC. people can have a good time in fashion shops in RomeD. travelers usually have to go to visit places on foot in Italy68. When traveling in Rome, the writer seems to believe it is a good idea to _________________.A. visit museums and shops during ChristmasB. avoid staying in a hotel in the center of RomeC. avoid staying in the sun for too long in JanuaryD. go on a picnic in Villa Borghese or Pompeii in Late February69. What is this passage mainly about?A. Whether Rome is worth a visit.B. Why so many people go to visit Rome.C. When is the best time to visit Rome.D. What to see when traveling in Rome.70. In which part of a newspaper would you most probably read this passage?A. Business.B. Travel.C. Kids.D. Eudcation.CIt feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument. We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push theconversation into World War Three. She’ll talk about my lack of bright future because I don’t plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment, I don’t want to do any job related to sci ence, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major(主修) in English and communications, she nearly had a heart attack.“Why can’t you be like my co-worker’s son?” she bemoans all the time. Her coworker’s son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don’t kn ow what to answer except that I simply can’t be like Mr. Perfect as I’ve called the unnamed co-worker’s son. I can’t be like him. I am the type of the person who loves to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because I love it, not because of a fame or salary.I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I’ve seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 am and usually comes home around 5 pm or even 6pm. However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesn’t mean I’ll be successful. I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.71. Which of the following topics do the writer and his mother often talk about?A. The writer’s studies.B. Wars around the world.C. Dinner plans.D. The writer’s future job.72. We can infer from Paragraph 1 that the writer’s mother _____.A. doesn’t think the writer should be a doct orB. doesn’t want the writer to major in EnglishC. gets along very well with the writerD. doesn’t think working in the scientific field is a good idea73. The underlined word “bemoans” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “________”.A. agreesB. shoutsC. smilesD. complains74. Which of the following statements is probably TRUE about the writer?A. He wants to be like his mother’s co-worker’s son.B. He wants to find a job in his community in the future.C. He wants to do something he really likes in the future.D. He doesn’t think his mother’s co-worker’s son is perfect.75. We can know from the last paragraph that ________.A. the writer’s mother works very hard for the familyB. the writer doesn’t know what his f uture will be likeC. the writer doesn’t think being a doctor is a good jobD. the writer sometimes thinks his mother’s advice is very goodDBlind imitation（模仿）is self-destruction. To those who do not recognize their unique worth, imitation appears attractive; to those who know their strength, imitation is unacceptable.In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful．When I first learned to cook, I used recipes （菜谱）and turned out some tasty dishes．But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle; they help you get goi ng, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them.In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously（下意识地）hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain asnormal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others.In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people have an endless resource of ideas．The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.Study your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not serve. Then you can say, “I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors’ tragedies and declare victory, and know that they are cheering me on”.76. Imitation proves useful when you __________.A. know you are uniqueB. lose the balance of lifeC. begin to learn something newD. get tired of routine practice77. To avoid the bad result of imitation, we should________.A. forget daily fear and painB. choose the right exampleC. ask others for decisionsD. stay away from stars78. According to the author, the world moves on because of those who are_______.A. desperate to influence others with their knowledgeB. ready to turn their original ideas into realityC. eager to discover what their ancestors didD. willing to accept others’ ideas79. The trouble a creator faces is_________.A. the lack of strong motivationB. the absence of practical ideasC. how to search for more materialsD. how to use imagination creatively80. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A. To highlight the importance of creativity.B. To criticize the characters of role models.C. To compare imitation with creation.D. To explain the meaning of success.V. 单词拼写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）1. The Ming D___________ ruled China from 1368 to 1644.2.
