But it’s how he handles things and how he treats his friends and his family that make me feel more proud.He applied to 14 colleges.

When he came home for summer vacation, he said he’d move to Rhod e Island near Brown, find a job, and do whatever he could to become known in the area. He'd work his heart out and do his best at everything. Someone, he was sure, would notice. This was a big deal for my parents as it meant agreeing to a year without college. But they trusted him and encouraged him to do whatever he thought it would take to realize his dream.It wasn’t long before he was hired as an amateur (业余的）play director at Brown. Now was his chance to shine, and shine he did. He put every bit of himself into the job. He met teachers and school officials, talked to everyone about his dream and never hesitated to tell them what he was after.And, sure enough, at the end of the year, when he reappliedto Brown, he was accepted. We were all happy, but for me the happiness went very deep. I had learned an important lesson—a lesson no one could have taught me with words. If I work hard for what I want, and if I keep trying after I’ve been turned down, my dreams can also come true. This is a gift I still hold in my heart.1.My brother had many good qualities.A.TrueB.

It was originally grown in Asia. It finally made its way to Europe and South and North Americas in the 16th century. It rapidly spread to the world because it was easy to grow and could stay alive in poor conditions.Garlic has also long been used in medicine. Egyptians fed garlic to the slaves to keep up their strength and to defend against diseases. The Romans believed that garlic cured many diseases and helped heal wounds. Greeks gave garlic to athletes during the Olympic Games in order to increase their strength.More recently, garlic has been mentioned as being used as a treatment for battle wounds in both World Wars. In fact, even today people eat garlic for its supposed benefits. For example, many people eat garlic to help fight colds and coughs. Some even claim that garlic can help prevent high blood pressure and cancer.A different use for garlic in the past was to keep away bad spirits. In some countries, people believed that if they wore garlic around their necks, bad things would not enter their bodies. And if they hung garlic outside the doors of their homes, bad things would go away.Garlic is now grown everywhere in the world. China is the largest producer of garlic, followed by India, South Korea, Egypt and Russia. The popularity of garlic has increased over the years. It is now widely used in all types of cooking. Chinese dishes use garlic. Italian dishes include a lot of garlic,. Garlic is now highly valued for its taste throughout the world.11、Garlic was first grown in ____.12、Garlic was quickly accepted by people everywhere because it was ______.13、Ancient Greeks believed that garlic can help _____.14、Some ancient people hung garlic outside their doors to _____.15、The largest garlic grower in the world now is _____.第三部分Easy Ways to Green up Your Life①Eating meat produces greenhouse gas emissions. If you can't give up meat completely, you can reduce your consumption or give up beef. Don't eat out-of-season farm products. They are grown in greenhouses. A lot of energy goes into heating the greenhouses. And shipping such out-of-season farm products by air from remote places consumes huge amount of energy, too. Just look for local and in-season foods.②Spend less time behind the wheel, cycle and walk more, and use public transport more. If you have to drive, the first thing is to choose a car that uses comparatively less fuel. Besides, stick to the speed limit, keep your tires properly filled with air, empty your trunk of heavy items, and accelerate and brake gently.③Want to take a vacation trip by plane Don't hurry. Think again. Air travel has a big impact on the environment compared with most other forms of travel. You have better choices. Consider having a vacation within driving distance. Of course, taking the train is the best choice.④Think about how much "stuff" you own. A big part of emissions are linked to our consumption. To reduce it we need a change in consumption culture. Do we really need all the things we buy? And do we always need the newest one? Getting fewer things and making the ones you own last longer will reduce energy use.⑤Your choices about heating and cooling your home are some of the most important things you can do in terms of cutting your greenhouse gas emissions. Keeping the temperature a little lower in the winter and higher in the summer can make a big difference.A. Change your shopping habitB. Drive less if possibleC. Take fewer air tripsD. Use air-conditioning moderatelyE. Take fewer vacationsF. Eat less meat and more in-season foods16、Paragraph①: _____17、Paragraph②: _____18、Paragraph③: _____19、Paragraph④: _____20、Paragraph⑤: _____21.

George ran through the door after school one day. He waved something above his head. "See, it's a lucky pen!" 26____ I looked at the pen in my hand. There was nothing special about it. But I didn't realize how special it was at that moment.I had made the decision to pursue a career in writing. 27____ I had dreamed about it for a longtime but I was afraid to take a chance. I was scared of rejection.The night before, I had voiced those fears to my husband when I thought George wasn't listening. But George must have overheard us. Now he stood in front of me, watching me examine the pen. "You don't have to be scared now," he said. "This pen will make your stories great and everyone will love you." Tears filled my eyes. 28____ Rejection didn't seem like such a big deal any more. Even if never sold the first story, I had everything I could ever need. George in my life!I found out later how lucky I was when I heard what he did to get the pen. During lunch break at school that day, George heard a boy talking about a lucky pen he had. 29____ The boy was a tough negotiator but George didn't give up. In the end, he traded his lunch, his favorite cartoon book, and his new football, his most prized possession for that pen. Just to make me feel better. 30____ It never fails to remind me just how lucky I am! I am the luckiest mother in the world now and forever.A. He got it as a birthday gift.B. It was a decision full of fear and anxiety for me.C. He wanted to get it for me.D. He handed me the pen happily and proudly.E. I grabbed him and pulled him tight against me.F. I still have that pen, though it's long out of ink.参考答案：26.D 27.B 28.E 29.C 30.F解析：26. 根据空格后面的“I looked at the pen in my hand”可推测该空应该填的是“他把钢笔递给我”，故选D。

2019年10月自考英语（二）真题及答案完形填空Learning From Mistakes Lots of people dare not make mistakes (mistake). T hey fear they will be laughed at or【C1】________ (blame) by others. They fear they will lose their money and【C2】________(belonging) or be under heavy stress. But risks are【C3】________ (possible) to avoid and they do pave the way towards success. Ha ve you ever【C4】________ (hear) of anyone who achieves success without making any mista kes? So it is only【C5】________(nature) that making mistakes should be considered a must. You s houldn' t worry about that as you【C6】________(probable) get lots of advantages out of your mistakes. By making mistakes, you can at least distinguish between the correct and the【C7】________(correct) parts of what you did. Robert Stevenson once said: " Our business in life is not to be【C8】________ (success) , but to continue to fail in good spirits.

Think again. Leasing can end up being just as expensive as buying. Most people think about leasing because they believe it will cost them less money. They're right-it is cheaper, but only in the short term. For example, if you were to lease a new Subaru Forester, you might pay $300 per month for the car. If you wer e to buy the same car, you would pay about $400 per month. Over a three-year, you would save $3600-a big savings. But after your lease is over, you have to give the car back. Ma ny people want to lease because they can drive a more expensive car than t hey might otherwise be able to afford. For example, if you spend $300 mon thly on a car, you might be able to lease a new Ford Explorer. For the same price, you might have to buy a used Explorer, or buy a new but much less ex pensive model. A lease，therefore，allows you to drive the latest models of more expensive cars. However, wh atever car you can afford to buy you get to keep it, and it will always have a resell or trade-in (以新旧换) value if you want to upgrade to a new car later. Furthermore, people w ho lease cars are often shocked by how much they must pay when the leas e is over. Most leases limit you to a certain number of miles. If you go over t hat, you must pay for each mile. As a result, you may end up paying thousa nds of dollars in mileage (里程) fees. In addition, when you lease, you have to pay for regular maintena nce and repairs to the vehicle. Since you must return the car finally, you are paying to repair someone else’s car. By now, the benefits of buying over le asing should be clear. Remember: whatever model you can afford to buy, itis yours after you make the payments. There’s no giving back, and that mak es all the difference.【正确答案】12.People usually think leasing a car can save money.（A）True（B）False（C）Not Given【正确答案】A13.Leasing a car costs less in the long term.（A）True（B）False（C）Not Given【正确答案】B14.More people like to lease cars than before.（A）True（B）False（C）Not Given【正确答案】C15.People can lease a car they cannot afford.（A）True（B）False（C）Not Given【正确答案】A16.Young people prefer to lease the latest models of cars.（A）True（B）False（C）Not Given【正确答案】C17.Ford Explorer is the most popular model in the leasing market. （A）True（B）False（C）Not Given【正确答案】C18.People often pay more than they expect for a lease.（A）True（B）False（C）Not Given【正确答案】A19.People need to pay for each mile they drive during the lease. （A）True（B）False（C）Not Given【正确答案】B20.Leasing companies pay for repairs to the leased cars.（A）True（B）False（C）Not Given【正确答案】B21.The author advises people to buy an affordable car.（A）True（B）False（C）Not Given【正确答案】A阅读选择Mental Illness Hits Small Business Owners Hard While there is a growing foc us on mental health in the workplace, there are fewer resources and suppo rt available to those running small businesses. There are many reasons peo ple choose to have their own business being their own boss, working on so mething they love, being able to set their own hours, or having some contr ol over whom they work with. Yet the reality many small business owners f ace is far less attractive-financial stress, long working hours and unclear boundaries between work and family life. And all of these factors can have a huge impact on their me ntal health. Leanne Fawkner is a business owner of an award-winning skin-care range(系列产品). She knows very well the impact that a small business can have on, the mental health of its owner. When her successful business struggled due to t he global financial crisis, she suffered a lot mentally. “As business slowed, I was more and more affected, ” she says. “I couldn’t separate myself from m y business. It was the worst experience of my life. I could no longer go to w ork and was crying all day ?” Fawkner was diagnosed with depression. She had to take several months off work. Fortunately, her husband was able tokeep things going while Fawkner was recovering. She saw a counselor (咨询师) for help and took part in a workplace mental health promotion program .

My BrotherMy brother is off at college, and at age 14, I miss him terribly. My brother is a rare kind of guy. He's smart and kind. And my friends say he's lovely. But it's how he handles things and how he treats his friends and his family that make me feel more proud.He applied to 14 colleges. He was accepted by all but one, the one he wanted, Brown University. So he took his second choice, and off he went to a first year. When he came home for summer vacation, he said he'd move to Rhode Island near Brown, find a job, and do whatever he could to become known in the area. He'd work his heart out and do his best at everything. Someone, he was sure, would notice. This was a big deal for my parents as it meant agreeing to a year without college. But they trusted him and encouraged him to do whatever he thought it would take to realize his dream.It wasn't long before he was hired as an amateur（业余的）play director at Brown. Now was his chance to shine, and he did. He put every bit of himself into the job. He met teachers and school officials, talked to everyone about his dream and never hesitated to tell them what he was after.And, sure enough, at the end of the year, when he reapplied to Brown, he was accepted.We were all happy, but for me the happiness went very deep. I had learned an important lesson--a lesson no one could have taught me with words. If I work hard for what I want, and if I keep trying after I've been turned down, my dreams can also come true. This is a gift I still hold in my heart.1.My brother had many good qualities.B．FalseC．Not Given【答案】A【解析】题干大意：我的哥哥有很多优秀品质。
