Two summers ago I was about to turn fifty and wanted to do something I’d never done before. My daughter Bailey thought skydiving (跳伞) would be perfect for me. I can promise you that of all the things I was thinking of doing, jumping out of an airplane never came close to making the list. As I age, I seem to have developed a growing fear of heights.
After several requests from my daughter, I finally said yes and she looked almost shocked. I told a friend what we were doing, then we set off. We had a 3-hour drive to the jump site. We drove through some beautiful countryside, but then we passed a small cemetery(墓地). Then we passed another cemetery and another one. I asked if so many people died jumping out of airplanes in this area that they needed to keep building more cemeteries to bury all the bodies!
As we squeezed into the little plane, I tightly held the right hand of my partner Ronnie. The short ride to altitude was cruel for me. As Bailey stepped to the door, she looked back at me and said ―Dad, I’m sure you can do it!‖ I said yes as she rolled out. I immediately looked behind me and said ―RONNIE I AM NOT FEELING GOOD!‖ He said, ―It’s going to be great. Besides, it’s too la te now anyway‖, and we jumped out.
The next five minutes were some of the most amazing of my life. It was so beautiful and peaceful—except for the parts where I was screaming. I prayed to God for the parachute (降落伞) to open, but mostly I told Him how thankful I was for my life and being with me through good and bad.

A. To tell how determined he was.
B. To show how rough the trip was.
C. To express how scared he was then.
D. To prove how lonely the jump site was.
26. What did Bailey do for her father before she skydived?
A. She played a joke with him.
B. She gave him encouragement.
C. She comforted him constantly.
D. She offered him useful guidance.
27. How did the author behave after jumping out of the airplane?

Anger itself is neither good nor bad. It’s what we do when we’re angry that matters. Anger is a tool that helps us to read and respond to the social situations that bother us. But how can we keep it under control?
It’s normal to think that getting angry is bad and many times we punish ourselves for doing so. But contrary to popular belief, research indicates that anger increases optimism, creativity and efficiency (效率). In addition, studies suggest that anger can lead to more successful negotiations at work, as well as in our personal lives.
In fact, suppressing (抑制) anger can be very bad for your health. In this sense, Dr. Ernest Harburg performed a study by monitoring a group of adults and their capacity (最大容量) for anger. What he found is that the men and women who suppressed their anger as a response to an unfair attack had a higher risk of developing bronchitis (支气管炎) or suffering from heart attacks, and were more likely to die before their colleagues who let their anger surface (显现) when they felt bothered.
When anger arises, we feel the need to either prevent or put an end to this powerful feeling for the benefit of our welfare or the welfare of those we care about. But this act of kindness, mercy, love or justice isn’t beneficial in this way. However, it’s certainly a good thing to be cautious when anger begins to surface. Expressing your anger can be appropriate with certain people at certain times. The question lies in how to do it without losing control. The key to expressing your anger is finding the appropriate tone for expressing what it is that upsets you. But to avoid unnecessary shouting, hitting, or other violent reactions, it’s worth taking a moment to step back and think, even though we may be in the middle of an argument with someone.
32. What do people generally think of anger?
A. It is an important tool.
B. It is a bad feeling state.
C. It increases our happiness.
D. It helps in social situations.
33. What does Dr. Ernest Harburg’s study imply about anger?
A. It needs a way out.
B. It should be avoided.
C. It can cause sudden death.
D. It must be kept under control.
34. What does the author suggest we do when we’re angry?
A. Find out its cause.
B. Pretend to ignore it.
C. React to it violently.
D. Express it reasonably.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Ways to Control Anger.
B. Benefits of Mild Anger.
C. Showing Anger Fitly Counts.
D. Anger Does Affect Health.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. C

People Are People
Globalization has brought different cultures together in away unimaginable one hundred years ago. Today, Chinese, Indians, Arabs, Africans, Anglos, and Hispanics may all work in the same offices, attend the same schools or live in the same neighborhoods. ___36____ And our society has lately emphasized（强调）the importance of diversity.
____37____Take the following old proverbs for example.
―Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom.‖ Thomas Jefferson, American President ―One falsehood spoils a thousand truths.‖ African proverb
―Be honest to those who are honest, and be also to those who are not honest.‖ Lao Tzu, Chinese philosopher
―A sacrifice is written off by a lie and the merit of devotion by an act of cheat.‖ Hindu saying ___38___ These seems to be a sort of cultural unity.
We don’t wish to imply all cultures are the same. Cultural diversity is real, and people from different cultures view many situations in different ways. However, historically, different cultures seem to share many common values. They are justice, courage, patience, generosity, equality, mercy and kindness, respect for the elders, and many more. Lying and stealing appear to be wrong no matter where you go. Perhaps some cultures make room for extenuating（情有可原）circumstances more than others; perhaps cultures apply these virtues in different ways; and when values disagree, different cultures may place different levels of importance on them. ___39____ But both cultures may still value both.
To us, it seems as if there is some sort of code of right and wrong that everyone everywhere seems to understand, regardless of culture. It is almost as if, behind all of the diversity, one finds a common understanding – a human culture, if you will – that goes beyond racial, social, and political boundaries. ____40____.
A. All people seem to agree that we should tell the truth.
B. As cultures meet with each other, many differences stand out.
C. Each value supports many more sayings from different cultures.
D. We want to show, however, that there is more to these cultures than diversity.
E. These sayings from four separate cultures all support the same value – honesty.
F. It is almost as if, despite all our differences, we are all still the same – we are just people.
G. In other words, one culture may lean more toward justice and another culture more toward mercy.
【答案】36. B 37. D 38. E 39. G 40. F
【解析】全球化带来了不同的文化在一起，尽管我们有很多不同，但我们仍然是一样的——我们只是人。

37. D
根据上句：我们的社会最近强调了多样性的重要性。再根据空格下句：以下面的谚语为例。可知，此空表示转折，引用下文的谚语说明这些文化比多样性更重要。故选D。
38. E
空格上文介绍了四条谚语，可知，E项These sayings from four separate cultures all support the same value – honesty.（这些来自四个不同文化的谚语都支持同样的美德——诚实。）符合题意，故选E。
39. G
根据上文：也许有些文化比其他文化更能给更大的环境留出空间，也许文化以不同的方式应用这些美德，当价值观不一致时，不同的文化可能会对他们产生不同程度的重视。也就是说，一种文化可能更倾向于正义，而另一种文化则更倾向于仁慈。故选G。
40. F
根据上文：这就好像，在所有的多样性背后，人们找到了一个共同的理解——一种人类文化，如果你愿意的话，它超越了种族、社会和政治界限。可知此空的意思是：这几乎就好像，尽管我们有很多不同，但我们仍然是一样的——我们只是人。故选F。

【解析】
71. since改为until考查固定用法。固定用法：not…until…直到……才…… 。结合―I didn’t realize the importance of working in groups since I was chosen monitor of my class in high school. ‖句意―直到在高中我被选为我们班的班长我才知道团体工作的重要性。‖ 可知要把since改为until。
72. 在duties前加the考查定冠词。I did most of duties myself …… most of修饰名词时，名词前必须有限定词，由语境可知要在名词duties前加定冠词the。故在duties前加the。
73. few改为little考查副词。……other students cared few about class activities.其他同学对班级活动关心得很少。修饰动词cared应用副词形式little, few无此用法。固定短语：care little about 对……关心很少。故填little。
74. depressing改为depressed考查形容词不同形式用法。I was tired out and depressing.小技巧：凡是－ed结尾的都是形容人的，表示―人感到……‖，－ing结尾都是形容物的，表示―令人感到……‖。此处修饰―I我‖，我感到沮丧，所以要用depressed。故把depressing改为depressed。
75. of改为on/ about考查介词。he gave me some advice of how to cooperate well with other.语义为―他给我一些关于如何和其他同学合作好的建议。‖of 介词，意为―……的‖，在此不符合语境。on/ about介词，意为―关于‖，适合语境。故把of改为on/ about。
76. other 改为others考查代词。……cooperate well with other.由语义可知是作者和班里其他同学合作，other 作形容词意思是―其它的‖，作代词讲意思是两者当中―另外一个‖，前要加the。此处是指班里其他人，所以要用复数形式others。故other 改为others。
77. begin 改为began考查动词时态。Thus I begin to realize the strengths of my classmates……通读文章第一整段可知整段文章都是用的一般过去时态，所以此句也应用一般过去时态，故把begin改为过去式began。
78. 去掉第二个to考查非谓语动词。have everyone to do his part in class.语义为―让每个人在班上都能贡献一份力量。‖have在此是使役动词，让某人干某事应是―have sb do sth ‖，have后跟动词原形。故去掉to。
79. strong 改为strongly考查副词。I strong feel that…… 修饰动词feel应该用副词形式，strong 形容词，强壮的；strongly 副词，强烈地。故把strong 改为strongly。
80. make 改为made 考查动词时态。…… has freed me from trouble and make me work more efficiently. freed和make由and连接，是两个并列谓语动词，形式应该相同。由has freed 可知是现在完成时态，所以make要用过去分词made，二者都由助动词has掌控。故把make 改为made。

Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years? Jane Addams(1860 —1935) Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank.Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community(社区)by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Rachel Carson(1907—1964) If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement migh t not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans. Sandra Day O’Connor(1930—present) When Sandra Day O’Connor finished thir d in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator(参议员)and, in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court. Rosa Parks(1913 —2005) On December 1,1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. “ The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,” said Parks. 21.What is Jane Addams noted for in history?
