Recently my friend invited me to her residential hall, which is an African-American themed hall. They have lots of meetings and outings there. So I thought it would be fun. On this particular day they were having a pancake breakfast, just a time to mix. I was excited to be there, too.
I walked in at a time when the mini-party was at its peak. I found my friend; excitedly, we hugged and she led me to a seat in the back. We sat there for some time. I sensed some sort of discrimination. I wondered, were we just isolating ourselves or were we facing discrimination?
My friend’s breakfast came in first, and it was a plate full of color s. My mouth watered. I have always liked rainbow dishes: they make me hungry. She let me pick pancakes and fruit; we ate and only then began to talk.
The black American contemporary music was extremely loud. Some boys and girls were beating the tables and some guys on the stage were dancing in what looked 1ike a kind of competition.
We talked about various subjects: hair, boys, shoes and books. And then we got to it. “What do African Americans think of Africans?”
We argued. I told her I thought African Americans were haughty. Why did they sideline us? When we met in a narrow passage and our eyes met, they quickly looked aside before we greeted. Why? Weren’t we all black? I mean, wasn’t this exactly the reason why there was an African-American themed house to begin with?
Did they look down upon us because they grew up in America and we in Sub-Saharan Africa? Oh yes, I felt this was it! They believed that we were HIV-positive and that the giraffes were right behind our huts.
My friend uttered, “No!” And then she continued：
“I also thought so at one point but after living with these guys, I got to a different conclusion altogether. These guys are not from Africa. They were not born there and may have never been there. We can’t expect them to naturally like us or bond. We are different. Skin color is the skin color.”
41. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that the author __________.
A. is an African American
B. is an American African
C. was late for the party
D. was crazy about parties
42. What does the author think of the breakfast?
A. Delicious.
B. Just so-so.
C. A bit salty.
D. A little sweet.
43. The underlined word “haughty’’ in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to“__________”.
A. kind-hearted
B. modest
C. fashionable
D. proud
44. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A. They had a good time at the party.
B. They turned down the music for me.
C. Some of them broke the tables.
D. They had a competition at the party.
45. Which statement is NOT true according to this text?
A. The author was brought up in Sub-Saharan Africa.
B. The friend had the same idea as the author before.
C. The African Americans are born in America.
D. The African Americans have nothing in common with Africans.

There’s a who le lot of things that people fill their stomachs with. Some of them keep people alive. Some of them taste good to people. Some of them help people win pie-eating contests. Alcohol does none of those things. Why do people keep drinking it? And what does it do once it gets to their stomachs?
There are all kinds of alcohol molecules(分子)，but the one that people most often pour down their throat is ethanol (乙醇)．Ethanol is very tiny and it dissolves in water, so it gets into all sorts of places that it’s not supposed to. Alcohol heads for the dige stive system. Because it dissolves in water, it can get into the water in the bloodstream. Because ethanol, to a certain extent, can pass through cell membranes(膜). It can go almost anywhere. It spreads through the muscles, and is sweated—unmetabolized(未经新陈代新的) and whole—through the skin. It gets into the heart. It even takes a walk through the brain, and this is the secret of its powers.
Alcohol depresses the nerves, and the nerves affect almost every area of the body. Enough alcohol makes people sleep, so people who become unconscious choke on their own vomit(呕吐物). Most worryingly, enough alcohol can shut down those parts of the brain just like any other parts. People become unconscious and their brains simply forget to breathe.
Alcohol is broken down in t he liver. Alcohol doesn’t destroy the liver, but products that the liver breaks the alcohol into do cause damage. A glass of wine per day can not do any harm. Instead, it can prevent heart attacks or can make someone functionally young. And it is kind of n ice to know that sometimes, relaxation and cheer can be bottled. All that’s needed is to take care how much alcohol is let into a person’s brain.
46. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?
A. By statement.
B. By question.
C. By arguing.
D. By explaining.
47. Why can Alcohol reach the brain?
A. Because it can move through water molecules in the blood.
B. Because it is small enough to get through any narrow space.
C. Because it is so light that the bloodstream can transport it.
D. Because it is absorbed only by the cells in the stomach.
48. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A. Alcohol affects the work of the nerves.
B. Alcohol has an effect on people’s breath.
C. People are drunk when their brains get drunk.
D. Drinking too much is quite dangerous.
49. From the passage, we can know __________.
A. many people like a drink when they feel relaxed
B. enough alcohol can control the brain activities
C. alcohol damage the liver indirectly
D. proper alcohol may lead to better sleep
50. What suggestion does the author give on drinking alcohol?
A. Controlling the time of drinking.
B. Controlling the amount of drinking.
C. Choosing the kind of drink.
D. Choosing the place of drinking.
D
Amy Chua is the author of “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother.” In the book, Chua, also a professor at Yale Law School, states her child-bringing-up method learned from her parents moving here from China years ago: no sleepovers, no television, no grades lower than an A.
“We guessed her book would cause much disagreement,” Wang Feifei, editor at CITIC Publishing House, told the reporter. “We don’t take it as a traditional parenting book, largely because it involves cross-cultural conflict.” The book has been available online since Mid-January and ranked No. 80 in sales on https://www.doczj.com/doc/b41307494.html,, a Chinese version of Amazon. It is to receive wider distribution(发行) at bookstores after the Feb. 3 Chinese New Year holiday.
The book has struck a nerve with Americans, especially American mothers. An article published earlier this month in the Wall Street Journal, called Why Chinese Mothers are Better, lit a strong reaction (the article now has close to 8,000 comments and most of them are critical, many of them completely unfriendly).
And that’s just what she did on Tuesday night’s show “The Colbert Report.” The host
Stephen Colbert put Chua on the spot. “People have accused you of saying that the Chinese way of raising a child is better to what Western mothers do. True or false?” he asked. “Uh… false,” Chua replied, her voice uncertain. Colbert seized the opportunity to point out Chua’s inconsistency (不一致). “So you raised your children in a worse way?” Chua made a set of defensive talking points, some of them more convincing than others. Her arguments in defense of strict parenting were “I think if you give a 5-or 8-year-old free choice, I think that’s going to be video games.” Chua thinks that anyone can be what she calls a “Chinese Mother”; all you have to do is to demand hard work, determination and discipline from your children. “I thin k they are fundamental American values.”
51. What is Amy Chua’s method of bringing up her children like according to the passage?
A. Very open.
B. Very loose.
C. Completely scientific.
D. Very strict.
52. What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A. The book is on sale since mid-January.
B. In February more people will buy the book.
C. The book is a traditional parenting book.
D. https://www.doczj.com/doc/b41307494.html, is a Chinese version of Amazon.
53. From the third paragraph, we will know __________.
A. American mothers admire Chinese Mothers
B. Chinese mothers are better than American mothers
C. many Americans dislike Tiger mother’s method
D. American parenting is completely different from Tiger mother’s
54. What does the underlined word “they” mean in the last paragraph?
A. American values.
B. Free choices for children.
C. Hard work, determination and discipline.
D. Parenting methods.
55. How did Chua defend herself when questioned by Stephen Colbert?
A. Explaining her parenting methods with American values.
B. Taking two children’s stories for example.
C. Talking about her own experience in raising children.
D. Proving disadvantages of video games to children.

Normally, I loved birthdays. When my son and three daughters were little, my husband, Charles, and I always made sure to have dinner, followed by a big cake and presents.
Later, when the kids grew up and lived in different states, they always called to wish me a happy birthday. But this year I could have skipped the whole day, knowing there was one call I wouldn’t be receiving, the one from my daughter Patty. She’d passed away unexpectedly just a month before. One thing which made me feel a little calm was a voice me ssage that she’d left on my cell phone the night before she died, telling me she loved me.
Over the following days I played her message of wishes over and over again, listening to the last words she said. “I love you very, very much, Mom.” Then, a couple of weeks before my birthday, while I was doing laundry, I accidentally dropped my phone in the washing machine. Quickly I pulled it out and dried it off, but when I checked my voicem ail, Patty’s message was gone. I cried, heartbroken. Day after day I kept checking my voicemail, hoping Patty’s message would reappear. It never did.
On the morning of my birthday, I received my son’s wishes. However, all I wanted for my birthday was to he ar Patty’s voice again. “Happy birthday.” Charles said, “let’s go out for dinner and a movie. It might help take your mind off things.” Charles was right. I turned off my phone, settled into my seat in the movie theater and let the film take me away. But the minute it ended I started thinking about Patty again. As we were walking out of the theater, I turned on my phone. It rang, signaling I’d gotten a voice message. Probably just my youngest daughter, Leslie, calling to wish me a happy birthday, I thought.
I dialed up voicemail and the message began. It was Patty’s voice, clear as a bell, saying again, “I love you very, very much, Mom.”
56. How did the family celebrate the author’s birthday when the children were young? (no
more than 10 words)
_________________________________________________________________________ 57. Why didn’t the author want to celebrate her birthday this year? (no more than 10 words)

Dear Tim，
How delighted I am to write in response to your care for my school life! And I can’t wait to share with you the One Hundred-day Pledging Conference held in my school.
It was on Feb. 28 that the conference took place in the lecture hall. Present at the conference were all the Senior 3 students, teachers, leaders and some representatives of parents, some of whom delivered wonderful speeches not only to encourage us to make full use of the last 100 days to improve our study, but also to wish us to succeed in the College Entrance Examination. Finally, all of us students stood up and made an oath that we would spare no effort to study to live up to their expectations.
Such was the conference, by which I was deeply touched and determined to put myself
into the final revision whole-heartedly to realize my dream.
Yours，
Li Jin
