Each passag e is following by several questions or unfinished statements. Fo r each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Ch oose the one that fits best according to the formation given in th e passage.ASometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t love others unti l you love yourself. Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you c an’t expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, you’ve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we’re the apple of our parents’ eyes, and that our Grandmas think we’re great talents and our Uncle Rob erts think that we will go to the Olympics, but sometimes it’s a lo t harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you build a po sitive self-image and learn to love yourself.Self-image is your own mind’s picture of yourself. This image includ es the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold ab out us. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative t han they should be. Thus changing the way you think about you rself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. Tha t is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great thi ngs you do every day. Don’t allow doubts to occur in it.It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can’t move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think you’re silly becaus e you aren’t good at maths, find a tutor. If you think you’re weak because you can’t run a mile, get to the track and practice. If y ou think you’re dull because you don’t wear the latest trends, bu y a few new clothes. But remember, just because you think it do esn’t mean it’s true.The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing th e way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat yourself on the back, you’ll know you’re well on your way. Good luck!56．You need to build a positive self-image when you _____________.A. dare to challenge you rselfB. feel it hard to change yo urselfC. are unconfident about yourselfD. have a high opinion of y ourself57．According to the passage, our self-images __________.A. have positive effectsB. are probably untrueC. are often changeableD. have different functions 58．How should you change your self-image according to the passage?A. To keep a different im age of others.B. To make your life succe ssful.C. To understand your o wn world.D. To change the way you think.59．What is the passage mainly about?A. How to prepare for yo ur success.B. How to face challenges in your life.C. How to build a positiv e self-image.D. How to develop your go od qualities.60．Who are the intended readers of the passage?A.

Fathehp ur SikriCSometimes pollutants and diseases can rob people of their se nse of smell, says Richard Doty. He leads a team who has studi ed the problem since the 1980s.Back then, people knew little about what and how well people could smell. Doctors simply lacked a tool to measure people’s scent detection. So Doty developed a smell test, based on 40 di fferent cards. Each card carries a different odor( 气味). A person’s score equals the total number of correctly identif ied scents. The cards allow doctors to measure how many scen ts people can detect and thus determine whether they lose the sense of smell. Today, this test is used by laboratories around t he world.In the project, Doty’s team used the cards to test smokers. Th e test showed that the more cigarettes people smoked, the poor er their ability to identify chocolate, rubber, apple and other sce nts. In another, Doty tested 99 people who breathed in smoke a nd dust. He found their sense of smell was generally not as sen sitive as that of other people. The study showed certain pollutan ts can harm our sense of smell.Actually, the major interest for Doty is the link between the se nse of smell and Parkinson’s disease, which strikes millions of mostly older people worldwide. It causes shaking in patients an d makes it difficult for them to walk, talk, eat and smell. So a sm ell test could help diagnose the disease much sooner than usua l. That could give patients access to early treatment.Doty’s research team is also working with patients who have b egun taking medication for Parkinson’s disease. They give smel l tests to the patients and scan their brains, using an imaging de vice called SPECT.“So far, the smell tests are proving to be more sensitive than th e brain scans, ”Doty says. The findings suggest it may be possi ble for doctors to use inexpensive smell tests to diagnose Parki nson’s disease even before the disease shows up in far more e xpensive brain scans. While the research is under preparation, Doty says, it has a bright future.66. The 40 different cards’ test was developed by Doty in order to___________.A. guide the doctors to help the older people better.B. measure people’s ability to identify scents.C. help people know how they could smell better.D. check if older people will lose their sense of smell.67. Two examples are mentioned in the third paragraph to sho w that____________.A. the card test has shifted Doty’s attentionB. the card test has benefited the doctors a lotC. the card test is widely used all over the worlds.D. the card test brought Doty’s team unexpected findings68. According to the passage, what interests Doty most is _____ ________.A. how the sense of smell limits people’s behaviorsB. how smokers are losing their sense of smellC. how the sense of smell is linked to Parkinson’s diseaseD. how Parkinson’s disease makes it difficult to walk69. How does the test help older people who suffer from Parkin son’s disease?A. By offering them cheaper medicineB. By giving them access to early treatmentC. By diagnosing their disease much more carefullyD. By offering them a second chance to scan their brains70.

The first evidence of the game was discovered by the Briton Si r Flinders and his team of archaeologists in in the 1930s. He fo und a collection of objects in a small child’s grave that appeare d to belong to the origin form of the game. However, some have argued that the game evolved much later than that. William Pe hle, a German historian, claimed that it started in around 300 A D, having its origin as a religious ceremony.In , bowling began as early as the 1100s. Throughout , sev eral kinds of bowling existed during the mid 1300s, but the first written mention of the game was made by King Edward III in 13 66. He banned playing it among his troops, because it was distr acting them from training, Later, during the times of King Henry VIII, the game’s popularity increased, and it became a symbol o f nobility and high social status.Bowling has been popular in since Colonial days. During t he 17th century, English, Dutch and German settlers imported t heir own version of the game to . At that time, it consisted of nine pins ( 保龄球等的木瓶), and was regularly played in an area of New York City still k nown as Bowling Green.The American Bowling Congress was formed on Septemb er 9, 1895, and made contributions towards standardizing bowli ng in the United States and organizing the first official competiti on. The Women’s Bowling League followed in 1917.Over the years, the game has changed a lot. A variety of t actics (策略) have been developed. The invention of automatic pinspotter ( 保龄球自动服务机) in the 1940s changed both the game and the industry.

They asked if we had any 23 change. My mom immediately asked where they kept their things. They pointed to an old car in the parking lot across the street.

Some say it’s a gift while others simply think I talk too much.As my thirties came to a close, I found myself reflecting on my life. I’m very happy and have no significant regrets. However, when I looked back on those times of difficulty, I saw a clear common denominator(特征); I didn’t seem to know when to stop talking. Whether it was hurting someone’s feelings, or having carelessly told a secret, the incident could have been avoided had I closed my mouth sooner. So I decided to practice the power of quiet.To take this step, I needed to understand how people could sit comfortably in a group and not talk. Why does my husband feel completely content to say nothing in a conversation? He’s highly intelligent and has wonderful opinions but he’ll sit quietly and just listen. Even when he’s asked a pointed question, he’ll answer with few words while still communicating effectively. What a talent!Can you imagine being happy just listening? In surveying those I know who talk less than I do, I got two answers—they either didn’t feel confident enough to speak up, or they just didn’t feel the need to participate in the conversation. Of course there were other reasons for not talking, but these were the twomost popular answers.The first one didn’t work for me. I’m just fine letting people know what I think about them, and hopefully it will make the conversation much more interesting. The second one didn’t work either. I do feel the need to participate. I feel it physically like an electrical pulse through my body; sometimes it’s so strong that it causes me to behave badly in the form of interrupting or speaking in an unusually loud voice. I had to look further.An interesting thing happened on this journey to the power of quiet. During my weekly yoga class, it came to me like an answer so clear that the words rang in my head like soft, heavenly bells.I talked too much so people would know I cared about them. It was my way of taking care of those I love. I decided before my fortieth birthday, that from that day forward, those around me would know I loved them, and cared what they thought and felt, but I was going to practice the power of quiet.As my forty-second birthday approaches, I can say that deciding to talk less has been more about focusing on quality rather than quantity. I’ve found that listening more shows those who I care about that I really do care how they feel. Now when I break in, it means more to them. Oh, sure, I still have my short periods of talking too much, but for the most part this has been one resolution that I can call a success.41. The writer was determined to practice the power of quiet because of ________.A. other people’s criticismsB. her reflections on her past lifeC. her mother’s adviceD. her age42. In Paragraph 3 the writer mentions her husband mainly ______________.A. to show how one communicates effectivelyB. to explain the reason for his silence in a conversationC. to give her high opinion of his communication skillsD. to give an example of those who have the power of quiet43. By “I had to look further”, the writer means she had to _______________.A. look into the future in order to succeed in practicing the power of quietB. try harder to prevent herself from talking too muchC. find out other reasons why she should talk lessD. survey people in other areas who talk little44. Which of the following best describe the writer’s character?A. Kind but pessimistic.B. Selfless but proud.C. Loving and active.D. Stubborn and sensitive.45. The writer’s main purpose for writing this passage is to tell readers ___________.A. the importance of participation in conversationB. the reasons for communication problemsC. the need to be concerned about other peopleD. the difficulty in achieving her goal of talking lessBSuccessful athletes today are able to earn enormous salaries and many of them choose to share the wealth they have by donating to charities.Ron ArtestThis NBA Lakers forward is planning to auction his 2010 championship ring online in an effort to raise money for mental-health problems in schools. He has also been publicly considering donating at least half of his salary for the 2011-2012 year.Steve NashThe Phoenix Suns player has a foundation bearing his name. It was started in 2001, and provides funds for children who are less fortunate in health, education and personal growth. The charity also focuses efforts on the community overall.Tiger WoodsThe pro-golfer has continued to make charitable donations despite the trouble in his personal life. His foundation sent $3 million to Haiti following the earthquake that destroyed the region. Woods also donated $100,000 to assist with the tsunami in 2004 and $200,000 went to the needy affected by Hurricane Katrina. Hannah TeterThe Olympic snowboarding champion joined with other athletes for the charity Children International. She has been a part of the humanitarian(人道主义的)group since 2007 and along with Gabi Viteri, a Burton Team Snowboarder, she traveled to Guadalajara, Mexico, to understand the needs of the school children there and how they can help. Hannah has helped improve the lives of many poor children.Lance ArmstrongThe professional cyclist and survivor of cancer created a foundation to help those affected by the disease as well. Funds are raised by cyclists, volunteers and cancer survivors, who appeal to local communities for donations. The funds are used to give hope to cancer sufferers and help them in all stages of dealing with the disease.Perhaps the generosity displayed by these athletes will inspire others to join them in helping the less fortunate.46.

Some athletes mentioned in this passage will donate all their money in future.D. Successful athletes will be scolded if they don’t donate their money to people in need.47.

This passage was written in order to___________.A. tell us the successful athletes are generousB. tell us there are a lot of charities in the USC. inspire more and more people to help the needyD. praise the successful athletes for their good deedsCMost parents tell lies to their children as an approach to changing their behavior, suggests a study of families in the United States and China.The most frequent example was parents threatening to leave children alone in public unless they behaved. Persuasion ranged from mentioning the support of the tooth fairy to telling children they would go blind unless they ate particular vegetables. Another example was: “That was beautiful piano playing.” The study, published in the International Journal of Psychology, examined the use of “instrumental lying”--and found that such tactically-deployed falsehoods（策略性谎言）were used by a majority of parents in both the United States and China--based on interviews with about 200 families.The most commonly used lie--popular with both US and Chinese families--was parents pretending to a child that they were going to walk away and leave the child to his or her tantrum(耍性子). “Th is wide-spread lie may relate to the universality of the challenge parents face in trying to leave a place against their child’s wishes,” say the researchers. Another lie that was common in both cou ntries was the “false promise to buy a requested toy at some i ndefinite time in the future”.There were “untrue statements related to misbehavior”, which included: “If you don’t behave, I will call the police,” and: “If you don’t quiet down and start behav ing, the lady over there will be angry with you.”And there are also some more astonishing lies recorded. Under the category of “Untrue statements related to leaving or staying” a parent was recorded as saying: “If you don’t follow me, a kidnapper(绑架者) will come to kidnap you while I’m gone.” There were also lies motivated by protecting a child’s feelings--labeled as “Untrue statements related to positive feelings.” This included the optimistic: “Your pet went to live on your uncle’s farm where he will have more space to run around.” A rather self-serving untruth was used for a quick getaway from a toy shop: “I did not bring money with me today. We can come back another day.” There was also a selection of lies relating to “fantasy characters”, also used to enforce good behavior, such as in the run-up to Christmas.The study found no clear difference between the lies used by mothers and fathers, according to researchers, who were from psychology departments at the University of California San Diego in the US, Zhejiang Normal University, Jinhua in China and the University of Toronto, Canada. Although levels of such “instrumental lying” were high in both countries, they were highest in China. The study found there was an acceptance of such lies among parents when they were used as a way of strengthening desirable social behavior. For example, the lie told to children that they would grow taller for every bite of broccoli （花椰菜）was seen as encouraging healthy eating habits.The study raises the longer-term issue of the impact on families of such lies. It suggests it could influence family relationships as children get older. The researchers, headed by Gail D. Heymana, Anna S. Hsua, Genyue Fub and Kang Leeac, concluded that this raises “important moral questions for parents about when, if ever, parental lying is justified（证明…正当）”.50. The third paragraph is written to _______________.A. list different kinds of lies parents often useB. show how effectively parents’ lies workC. warn children of telling lies to parentsD. offer advice on how to lie to children wisely51. The example of broccoli (Paragraph 4) is used to ___________.A. tell there’s no difference between lies used by fathers and mothersB. prove Chinese parents tell more lies than American parentsC. show some parents think “instrumental lying” is acceptableD. explain why “instrumental lying” is useful in helping kids behave52. Which group does the lie “if you keep being rude, a policeman will come and put you into prison.”belong to?A. “Untrue statements related to positive feelings.”B. “Lies relating to ‘fantasy characters’.”C. “Untrue statements related to leaving or staying.”D. “Untrue statements related to misbehavior.”53. It can be inferred form the last paragraph that _______________.A. parents’ lies will do children good instead of harmB. parents should be cautious when they decide to lie to their kidsC. the relationship between parents and children is now worse than beforeD. children from different family backgrounds have different attitudes toward lying54. This article is mainly about ______________.A. the phenomenon that American and Chinese parents lie to childrenB. various arguments and opinions on parents’ lying to childrenC. the possible reasons why Chinese parents often lie to their childrenD. the conflicts between parents and children caused by lyingDHolly was confused as she opened the gift from her best friend, Susan.“I...I thought you could use it for something.” Susan’s explanation did nothing to help us understand why a twelve-by-eighteen-inch dark blue carpet was being presented as a birthday gift.The murmured “thanks” was barel y heard as Holly tried hard not to allow her disappointment to show. She laid the piece of carpet on the kitchen counter, and the two girls headed outside to play with the family dogs.Holly’s disappointment over the incident didn’t become evident until th e following evening when she came downstairs to say good night. “Well, I guess we know how much my best friend thinks of me, huh, Mom?” Her attempt at a cheerful tone failed completely.The next morning, I carried a kitchen rubbish bag outside. My heart wrenched as I opened the rubbish can and saw Susan’s carpet lying among the other waste items. Hesitating only a moment, I reached in and pulled it out of the can. After giving it a light brushing, I brought it into the house and put it away in the hall closet. Occupied by the business of daily living, the carpet was soon forgotten.Before Holly’s birthday, Susan had been a regular visitor in our home. On severa l occasions, she rode the bus home with Holly and was one of the few friends ever permitted to stay over on a school night. The girls did their homework together and went to bed at a reasonable hour. Now as I cooked the evening meal, I realized it had been nearly three weeks since we’d even heard the mention of Susan’s name. I missed her warm smile and eager-to-please ways.The noise at the front door told me Holly had arrived home from school. “Susan invited me to come over to her house after school tomorrow.” She announced as she put her books down on the kitchen table. Although her voice carried a so-what attitude, I sensed she was pleased by the invitation.Arrangements were made, and the girls rode home together on the school bus the following day. As I travelled along the winding country road that led to her house, Susan talked nervously about her foster mom (养母) and the seventeen cats she had taken in and cared for with Susan’s help.Susan guided us through the house. She proudly showed us her room, which was decorated with used furniture. An old picture frame (框架) sitting beside the bed contained p ictures of Susan’s parents and siblings from whom, we later learned, she had long since been separated.I followed Susan’s foster mom — who introduced herself as Glenda — into the kitchen. After clearinga small area, Glenda placed a couple of cups on the table. Her hand trembled slightly as she poured us each a cup of steaming black coffee. She began to relax as we drank our coffee and chatted about her cats.Her eyes shone as she showed her fondness for Susan. But her expression turned blue when sherefer red briefly to the girl’s past. In a short time, I came to respect this generous-hearted woman who had opened her home to a young girl and attempted to make a difference in her life.As daylight began to fade, we offered our thanks for the visit and said good-bye.Holly sat quietly in the car on the way home. Stealing a glance, I noticed her back was straight. Her head and shoulders were thrust forward as if willing the car to move faster. No sooner had we come to a stop in the driveway than she threw open the car door and walked purposefully toward the side gate. Curious, I followed. My throat tightened as I observed my daughter standing next to the rubbish can looking inside. Her shoulders dropped as she replaced the lid of the can and dragged into the house.“Is this what you were looking for?” I placed the piece of carpet on the table in front of her.“Thanks, Mom.” A tear or two slipped from her eye s and splashed onto the dark blue carpet that, as if by magic, had become the most precious birthday present in the whole world.55. It can be inferred from the first four paragraphs that Holly __________.A. was not happy but sincerely grateful for the birthday present from SusanB. didn’t care what Susan gave her as a birthday giftC. didn’t show any disappointment until later the following eveningD. was both confused and dissatisfied with the present from Susan56.

The author missed Susan very much, but Holly didn’t.B. Holly was a girl who behaved casually in her daily life.C. What Holly said did not agree with what she really thought.D.

She was angry that Susan hadn’t told her about her family background.D. She was shocked since she had never seen such a poor family.60. Which is the best title for this passage?A. Susan’s Magic CarpetB. Friendship and FamilyC. A Silly Birthday PresentD. The Honesty of Poor People第二节: 下面文章中有5处（第61—65题）需要添加小标题。

We 22 on a corner, higher than street level, and the entire side of the yard is surrounded by a 23 built rock wall. The front of the house though is another story 24 instead of a wall along the sidewalk the rocks appear to be just 25 onto the dirt as if 26 were in a hurry to finish.We did the best we could with what we had to 27 with and called this area our “rock garden”. 28 we had leftover flowers or plants, Denise or I would stick them out front, just to bring some 29 to the area.Last summer I had reached the end of the rock garden and found a tiny little 30 that I could not immediately identify. I knew I didn’t plant it and Denise claimed that she didn’t 31 . we decided to let it continue growing until we could 32 what it was.Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the 33 plant, it appeared to be a sunflower. It was spindly（细长的） looking with a tall skinny stalk（细小的径）and only one head on it. 34 I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds （野草）, I noticed 35 . The sunflower had not started 36 I saw the stalk begin. It actually had begun under a big rock and grown under and around it to reach the sun.That’s when I realized that if a tiny little sunflower didn’t let a big rock stand in its 37 of developing, we too have the capability of doing the same thing. Once our environment begins to see that we 38 ourselves like that little sunflower, we can get the same nourishment as well.Stand tall like the sunflower and be 39 who and what you are and the environment will begin to support you. Never 40 in face of challenges and you will find a way to go under or around your big obstacle in order to reach your desires.21. A. some B. that C. it D. one22. A. stay B. live C. reach D. grow23.

A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A littleoverlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development.41.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1?A..Children have a better memory than grown-ups.B. People remember well what they learned in childhoodC. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.D. Stories for children are easy to remember.42. The author explains the law of overlearning by __________.A. presenting research findingsB. using examplesC. making a comparisonD. setting down general rules43. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is _________.A. a skill to deal with math problemsB. a special case of crammingC. a result of overlearningD. a basic step towards advanced studies44. What is the author's opinion on cramming?A. It's helpful only in a limited way.B. It leads to failure in college exams.C. It's possible to result in poor memory.D. It increases students' learning interest.BAustralia has passed regulations that will enable more international students to further their education in the country.The new measures were released by the Australian Department of Tertiary Education, Skills, Jobs and Workplace Relations in September and will take effect in mid-2012.As a result, the student visa application process for overseas students has been simplified, and the deposit (押金) required to study in Australia has been reduced. Language requirements for overseas students have also been eased.Also, overseas students receiving a higher education in Australia will be granted a working visa lasting from two to four years after graduation, as long as they meet the basic IELTS requirement."This change will definitely make Australia a more attractive destination for Chinese students planning to study overseas," says Wang Lan, a consultant from Education International Cooperation Group (EIC), a Beijing-based company that provides services to students wishing to study overseas.However, in the past few years, many of Wang's student clients(客户) could not start studies in Australia because they did not meet the language requirements, visa processing took a long time and deposit regulations were tough. The change in policy is good news for the parents of students wishing to study in Australia, Wang says.A 22-year-old female student surnamed Li, in Beijing, who is planning to do her postgraduate studies in Australia, learned about the policy change several weeks ago."According to the previous deposit requirement for my student visa, my family was required to put down 550,000 yuan ($86,850). Now we only need to prepare 410,000 yuan. This is a relief for my parents," Li says.She also says that the two to four years working visa makes her feel much clearer about her study plans."I believe several years of working experience abroad will strengthen my competitiveness when I return to China," she says.Gaining a competitive advantage is the major reason for Chinese students to study abroad, according to the report by EIC.45. What's the main idea of the passage?A. Language requirement for overseas students have been eased in Australia.B. Australia is a most attractive place for students in China.C. More students will work in Australia after their graduation.D. Australia widens window of opportunity for international students.46. Which of the following is NOT the content of the new regulations?A. The student visa application process for overseas students has been simplified.B. The deposit required to study in Australia has been reduced.C. After graduation, some overseas students can get a working visa in Australia.D. Language requirements for overseas students have been more difficult.47. After the new regulations are passed, _______ .A. more students will come to Australia to workB. more Chinese students will choose to live in Australia.C. more Chinese students will choose to further their education in AustraliaD. the opportunities to work in Australia decrease for overseas students48. How much can Li's parents save according to the new regulations?A. 140,000 yuanB. 550,000 yuanC. 410,000 yuanD. 86,850 yuan49. Why do many students want to work in Australia after their graduation?A. Their working experience can make them stay in Australia forever.B. They can earn more money in Australia.C. The working experience abroad will strengthen their competitiveness.D. They have to do so according to the new regulations.CShay and his father had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball. Shay asked, “Do you think they’ll let me play?” Shay’s father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but the father also understood that if his son, mentally and physically disabled, were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence.Shay’s father approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play, not expecting much. The boy looked around and said, “We’re losing by six runs (分) and the game is in the eighth inning (局).I guess he can be on our team and we’ll try to put him in to bat in the final inning.Shay struggled over to the team’s bench and put on a team shirt with a broad smile and his father had a small tear in his eye and warmth in heart. The boys saw the father’s joy at his son being accepted.In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay’s team scored a few runs but was still behind by three. In the top of the final inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the field. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously joyful just to be in the game and on the field. In the bottom of the final inning, Shay’s team scoredagain. Now, Shay was scheduled to be next at bat. Would they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game?Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was almost impossible. The first pitch (投) came and Shay missed. The pitcher again took a few steps forward to throw the ball softly towards Shay. As the pitch came in , Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.The pitcher could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman and Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game. Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the head of the first baseman, beyond the reach of all teammates, The audience and the players from both teams started screaming, “Shay, run to first! ”Never in his life had Shay ever run that far but made it to first base, wide-eyed and shocked.Everyone shouted, “Run to second!” Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second. By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the smallest guy on their team, who had a chance to be the hero for his team for the first time, could have thrown the ball to the second baseman, but he understood the pitcher’s intentions and he too intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third baseman’s head.All were screaming，“Shay，Shay，Shay，all the way Shay.” Shay reached third base when one opposing player ran to help him and shouted, “Shay, run to third.” As Shay rounded third, all were on their feet, crying, “Shay, run home！”Shay ran to home, stepped on the home base and was cheered as the hero who won the game for his team.That day, the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world. Shay didn’t make it to another summer and died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making his father so happy and coming home and seeing his mother tearfully hug her little hero of the day!50. Not expecting much, Shay’s father still asked the boy if Shay could play, mainly because thefather _________.A. understood Shay did need a feeling of being acceptedB. guessed his presence would affect the boy’s decisionC. learned some of the boys on the field knew Shay wellD. noticed some of the boys on the field were hesitating51. In the bottom of the final inning Shay was given the bat because the boys _________.A. believed they were sure to win the gameB. felt forced to give Shay another chanceC. found Shay was so eager to be a winnerD. would like to help Shay enjoy the game52. The smallest boy threw the ball high and far over the third baseman’s head, probably becausethat boy ________.A. looked forward to winning the game for his teamB. was obviously aware of the pitcher’s purposeC. failed to throw the ball to the second basemanD. saw that Shay already reached second base53. Which of the following has nothing to do with Shay’s becoming the hero for histeam?A. The opposing players failed to stop his running to home.B. The audience and the players from both teams cheered for him.C. The pitcher did not throw the ball to the first baseman.D. One of the opposing players ran to help him.54. What to you think is the theme of the story?A. Everyone has his own strength even if mentally or physically disabled.B. True human nature could be realized in the way we treat each other.C. Everyone can develop his team spirit in sports and please his parents.D. The results of the game should not be the only concern of the playersDThe opening scene of The King’s Speech was, in a word, terrifying. The moment King George VI—wonderfully played by Colin Firth—stepped up to the microphone at Wembley Stadium, a rush of nervousness came over me. It took me back to my school days, standing at my desk, having to read aloud to the class. I whispered to my wife, Jill, “A stutterer(口吃者) wrote this screenplay(剧本).I grew up with a stutter, really afraid of trying to get through simple sentences—knowing that I would then, or later, be laughed at. I still remember the reading when I was in 7th grade at St. Helena’s: “Sir Walter Ralei gh was a gentlemen…” I remember reciting, “Sir Walter Raleigh was a gentlemen.” The school teacher said, “Master B-B-B-Biden! What’s that word?” She wanted me to say gentlemen. But by then, I had learned to put my sentences into bite-size pieces and I was reading it: “gentle”｜breath｜“man”.Ninety-nine percent of the time, the teachers were great. I never had professional treatment but a couple of teachers taught me to put a regular rise and fall in my tone of speaking, and that’s why I spent so much time reading poetry. But even in my small, boys’ prep school, I got nailed in my class with the nickname Joe Stutterer. You get so desperate, you’re so embarrassed. I actually went and stood by the side of my house once, with a small round stone in my mouth, and tried to talk. Jill always thought I was kidding until she saw the movie and saw King George did the same thing. King George relied on the support his wife and the help of Lionel Longue, who, in describing working with other stutterers, said, “My job was to give them c onfidence in their voices and let them know that a friend was listening.” I was lucky enough to have more than a couple of Lionels in my life. Nobody in my family ever—ever—made fun of me or tried to finish my sentences. My mother would say, “Joey, you cannot let stuttering define you.” And because of her and others, I made sure it didn’t.Through hard work and determination, I beat my stutter in high school. I even spoke briefly at my graduation ceremony in 1961—the most difficult speech of my life. My fight against shyness and embarrassment at my early age has developed my ability to understand others’ feelings as Vice President of the country in public life. I still mark up all of my speeches the say way Firth’s character does in the movie, pencil-marking every line to remind myself to stop, to breathe, to pause—to beat back my stuttering as best as I can. I don’t stutter anymore, and most people who know me only late in my life are shocked that I ever did.By capturing exactly how a stutter feels, The King’s Speech has shown millions of people how much courage it takes for a stutterer to stand up and speak. Equallyimportant, it has shown millions who suffer from the pain that it can be overcome, we are not alone, and with the support of those around us, our deepest fears can be conquered.55. The writer whispered to his wife, “A stutterer wrote this screenplay”, because __________.A. he desired to release his secret to his wifeB. he was reminded how it was as a stutterer on such occasionsC. he thought Colin Firth had a wonderful performance in the filmD. he wanted to make his wife realize why the film was so popular56. What can we learn from the example in Paragraph 2?A. Kids with a stutterer could be made fun of at schools.B. “Gentleman” was very difficult for a 7th grader to pronounce.C. It was impossible for a stutterer to pronounce even very simple words.D. The teacher had a clever way to teach how to pronounce the word.57. Which word can best replace “nailed” in Paragraph 3?A. AttachedB. UncoveredC. HammeredD. Tricked58. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 imply?A. The writer would have a good fortune to get help from many people.B. The writer should realize he had to stand up from his pain and defeat itC. The writer could get enough confidence under his mother’s helpD. The writer must be happy that everyone in his family did not laugh at him.59. To give a speech as well as he can, the writer, reveals the fact that __________.A. he tried to talk with a small round stone in his mouth.B. his wife keeps encouraging him to practiceC. he still marks up all his speechesD. his teacher helps him to put a rise and fall in his tone60. What message is conveyed in the passage?A. Whatever pain and fear we have, we can defeat them if we try hard.B. The similar stories of the writer and King George VI gains great admiration.C. The suffer we had at our early age will have a heavy influence on our future life.D. Stuttering is such a pain for children that we should give help and encourage them.第二节：John, Nicolas, Susan, George and Mary想通过阅读了解有关知识，请根据他们的需求（第61-65题）和6本书的简介(A,B,C,D,E和F)，为他们选择合适的书。

That was eleven years after two Germans developed the world's first automobile. Many people believe Henry Ford invented the production line that moved a car's parts to the worker, instead of making the worker move to the parts. That is not true, either. Many factory owners used methods of this kind before Ford. What Henry Ford did was to use other people's ideas and make them better. And he made the whole factory a moving production line.In the early days of the automobile, almost every car maker raced his cars. It was the best way of gaining public notice. Henry Ford decided to build a racing car. Ford's most famous race was his first one. It was also the last race in which he drove the car himself.The race was in 1901, at a field near Detroit. All of the most famous cars had entered, but only two were left: the Winton and Ford. The Winton was famous for its speed. Most people thought the race was over before it began.The Winton took an early lead. But halfway through the race, it began to lose power. Ford started to gain. And near the end of the race, he took the lead. Ford won the race and defeated the Winton. His name appeared in newspapers and he became well­know n all over the United States. Within weeks of the race, Henry Ford formed a new automobile company. In 1903, a doctor in Detroit bought the first car from the company. That sale was the beginning of Henry Ford's dream. Ford said: “I will build a motor car for the great mass of people. It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for one person to operate and care for. It will be built of the best materials. It will be built by the best men to be employed. And it will be built with the simplest plans that modern engineering can produce. It will be so low in price that no man making good money will be unable to own one.”The Model T was a car of that kind. It only cost $850. It was a simple machine that drivers could depend on. Doctors bought the Model T. So did farmers. Even criminals. They considered it the fastest and surest form of transportation. Americans loved the Model T. They wrote stories and songs about it. Thousands of Model T's were built in the first few years.41. What do we know about Henry Ford from Paragraph 1 ?A. He made good use of ideas from others.B. He produced the first car in the world.C. He knew how to improve auto parts.D. He invented the production line.42. Why did Henry Ford take part in the 1901 car race?A. To show off his driving skills.B. To draw public attention.C. To learn about new technology.D. To raise money for his new company.43. What was Henry Ford's dream according to the text?A. Producing cars for average customers.B. Building racing cars of simple design.C. Designing more car models.D. Starting more companies.( B )The average American child spends three to five hours a day watching TV. In 1961, the average child began to watch television at age three; however, today it is nine months. Yet, most parents think that television has bad influence on their children. For example, in the early 1970s, my parents believed that my bad eyesight was the result of sitting too close to the screen, and they therefore made my stay at least six feet from it. Today, most people have no such worry, but many new ridiculous (荒谬的) sayings have appeared:*TV makes kids stupid.Many children watch more educational programs when they are pre-schoolers. When they grow up, they can read more books and have much better ideas to solve difficult problems than other children.*TV makes kids violent. The real story is not so simple. Hundreds of studies show that watching violence on TV makes children more aggressive (好斗的). But a study of over 5,000 children also finds that some positive programs make children kinder. The problem is that kids are increasingly watching shows with violence instead of those suitable for their age.*Sitting around watching TV makes kids overweight. An experiment finds that when children watch less television, they do lose extra weight; however, reducing their television time does not make them more active. The real problem lies in snacking (吃零食). A widespread habit for kids, and junk-food advertisements.*TV helps kids get to sleep. The opposite is true. The more television children watch, the more likely they are to have irregular sleep and nap(小睡) patterns. Allowing kids to watch television is part of the problem, not the solution.44. Which one is the advantage of educational TV programs?A. They will make children solve difficult problems better than others.B. they will improve children’s ability to get along with others.C. They are likely to make children more aggressive.D. They will make sure of children’s success in the future.45. Why are children spending much time watching TV likely to be fat?A. Watching TV makes children lazy and inactive.B. Children are attracted by the food advertisement on TV.C. Watching TV doesn’t burn up as much fat as doing sports.D. Children like to snack while watching TV.46. What influence does watching TV have on a child’s sleep?A. Children are likely to sleep deeper after watching TV.B. Children’s sleep time will be greatly reduced.C. It will make children form a bad habit of sleeping.D. It will make children sleep easier.47. What is the purpose of this text?A. To increase people’s knowledge of watching TV.B. To warn parents of the disadvantages of watching TV.C. To explain the bad influences that watching TV has on children.D. To correct parents’ wrong ideas of television’s effect on children.( C )Why can’t some people even get an inch of what they dream of becoming? Blame it on pure dreaming and lack of surrounding goals for achieving their dreams.Setting goals is very significant part of accomplishing and positive actions. It is like scaling(攀爬) a 200 feet construction and marking in the early hours on what feet you would like to reach at this specific period.People who set goals literally generate a map of their goal settings in life, marking where they should start, where to pause, where to study a bit, and where and when to end. Once this map comes into being, it allows the map drawer to check where he is in the scheme(安排) of things and whether or not he is making some planning that will take him closer to his goals.By surrounding goals, people will know how they are doing and what they should be doing to get their goals or dreams in life. They will know if they can relax or if they have to double their efforts when they are falling short of what is expected of them.Goal surroundings means a person is proactive in dealing with challenges that may affect his plans. Being proactive means one is able to outline possible difficulties that may occur as well as the solutions to these difficulties. By doing this, a person is not easily scared or defeated when challenges occur because he has already prepared for them. He knows they can happen and he has prepared a solution or strategy when that time comes.Setting goals will enable people to track their progress in whatever hard work they set out to do. It will help people become more confident in themselves and more motivated to get their plans.48. The purpose of this passage is to _______________.A. explain the difference between the two goals.B. show the importance of surrounding goals.C. tell us how to set and achieve one’s goals.D. tell us setting goals makes one confident.49. The underlined word “proactive”in paragraph 5 may have the closest meaning to “________”.A. positiveB. carefulC. braveD. prepared50. According to the author, one had better ___________ in making a goal in life.A. take an active attitudeB. create a scheme as a wholeC. consider the possible troublesD. check where he is frequently51. From the passage, we can reach the conclusion that___________________.A. achievements come to those who are well preparedB. everyone faces the situation which is scaring or threateningC. the higher one sets his goal, the more achievements he will haveD. success never comes to people who always blame( D )Like human beings, dogs may catch cold because of cold weather, wet conditions or can also get it from other sick dogs. If a dog has a running nose and watery eyes, coughs or sneezes(打喷嚏）, then it is quite probable that the dog has caught cold.A dog's cold can get over after a few days without treatment but it totally depends upon the owner to treat it with medications or improve its immune power （免疫力） to get rid of the cold naturally. Following are some of the things you can do if your dog gets a cold.You can improve its immune power by giving it proper nutrient diet. Healthy food can reallydo wonders. Try to give it food which is either suggested by the vet（兽医） or is healthy for your pet. Increase the intake of food which is rich in vitamins A, C and E.Keep your dog warm. The best place for your dog in winter is inside your house. Do not keep your dog outside when it is cold and wet. At home you can also keep the dog warm with the help of carpets. This will make him comfortable and help him to recover fast.Increase the fluid（流质）intake as it helps a lot. Water can be the best choice but you can also add broth （肉汤）in water which will give your dog strength. Warm water will make your dog more comfortable and will also keep the dog away from the respiratory infections（呼吸道感染）.Steam treatment is considered to be effective in getting rid of cold. It makes the nasal （鼻的） passage wet, which helps proper breathing. Just fill your bathroom with steam and leave your dog inside the bathroom for 15 minutes. Do it nearly 2 to 3 times a day and you will see your dog recovering.These are some of the things you can do to help your dog recover from cold. However, if you are not able to find any improvement in its health, then turn to the vet for help immediately. Take your dog for regular checkups so as to avoid complications（并发症）.52．From the first paragraph we know about __________.A．the difficulty in keeping a dog as a petB．characteristics of sick dogsC．the similarities between dogs and human beingsD．causes and symptoms（症状）of cold in dogs53．When your dog catches cold, you should feed it on _______.A．its favorite food B．the suggested food by the vetC．some meat and water D．food rich in vitamin B54．When a dog catches cold, it is wrong to ________.A．keep it inside during cold and wet weather B．leave it inside the bathroom full of steam C．let it eat too much solid food D．keep it sleeping on rugs at home55．It can be learnt from the text that _________.A．a dog’s cold can always disappear naturallyB．it’s quite easy to make a sick dog recover from coldC．treating a dog’s cold sometimes needs a vet’s helpD．cold in dogs won’t spread between each other.( E )The iPhone, the iPad: each of Apple’s products sounds co ol and has become a fad(一时的风尚). Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i” –-- and many other brands are following suit. The BBC’s iPlayer --- which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet ---used the title in 2008. A lovely bear --- popular in the US and UK --- that plays music and video is called “iTeddy”. A slimmed-down version(简装本) of London’s Independent newspaper was started last week under the name “i”.In general, single-letter prefixes(前缀) have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce(电子商务) first came into use.Most “i” products are targeted at （针对）young people and considering the major readers of Independent’s “i”, it’s no surprise that they’ve selected this fashionable name.But it’s hard to see what’s so special about the letter “i”. Why not use “a”, “b”, or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at King’s College, London,“i” works because its meaning has become ambiguous. When A pple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, individual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didn’t have one clear definition（定义）,” he says.“However, thanks to Apple, the term is now connected with portability (轻便) .”adds Thorne.Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason.Alo ng with “Google” and “blog”, readers of BBC Magazines voted “i” as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade(十年).But as history shows, people grow tired of fads. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fa shionable as the year was connected with all things advanced and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the fashion disappeared.56. People use iPlayer to __________.A. listen to musicB. make a callC. watch TV programs onlineD. read newspapers57. We can infer that the Independent’s “i” is designed for _________.A. young readersB. old readersC. fashionable womenD. engineers58. The underlined word “ambiguous” means “__________”.A. popularB. uncertainC. clearD. unique59. Nowadays, the “i” term often reminds people of the products which are __________.A. portableB. environmentally friendlyC. advancedD. recyclable60. The writer suggests that __________.A. “i” products are often of high qualityB. iTeddy is alive bearC. the letter “b” replaces letter “i” to name the productsD. the popularity of “i” products may not last long四. 单词拼写：（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）1.

I was a publishing director and was looking forward to embracing a new day of work, as usual. I would always turn to the crossword(纵横填字游戏), but that day it didn't 21 . I'd been doing it for 30-old years, but trying to read this one was like walking through syrup（糖浆）: 22 slow and hard. I thought I must be tired.I said to my assistant. The 23 colleague contacted my wife, Beth, and she drove me straight to hospital. There, confirmation came that I'd had a stroke in the part of my brain that 24 communication. I was now in a condition that means it's difficult or 25 to receive and produce language.

For 25 years, I had 31 myself as a publisher. I was used to a busy day of meetings. I enjoyed colleagues and the 32 I'd had. I didn’t feel ready to say goodbye to my ol d self. There were times when I felt incredibly 33 .In the darkest months, I devoted myself to 34 . I couldn't manage novels or newspapers, 35 I tried reading poetry, and found the shorter lines less overwhelming(势不可挡的). My speech came back, and I learned how to read again, though much more slowly.

If you'd asked me 15 years ago to 39 the importance of the things in my life I might have said work, but now I'm no longer a high-achieving publisher or someone who reads 10 books a week.

He was explaining the story of mankind to his pupils. He told them that, in the beginning, men were nomads; they never stayed in the same place for very long. Instead，they would travel about, here and there, in search of food, wherever it was to be found. And when the food ran out, they would move off somewhere else.He taught them about the invention of farming and keeping animals. This was an important discovery, because by learning to cultivate(耕作)the land, and care for animals, mankind wouldalways have food steadily available. It also meant that people could remain living in one place, and this made it easier to set about tasks that would take a long while to complete, like building towns, cities, and all that were in them. All the children were listening attracted by this story, until Lucy jumped up:“And if that was so important and improved everything so much, wh y are we nomads all over again, Mr. Arnold?”Mr. Arnold didn’t know what to say. Lucy was a very intelligent girl. He knew that she lived with her parents in a house, so she must know that her family were not nomads; so what did she mean?“We have all become nomads again,” continued Lucy, “The other day, outside the city, they were cutting the forest down. A while ago a fi sherman told me how they fish. It’s the same with everyone: when there’s no more forest left the foresters go elsewhere, and when the fis h run out the fishermen move on. That’s what the nomads did, isn’t it?The teacher nodded, thoughtfully. Really, Lucy was right Mankind had turned into nomads. Instead of looking after the land in a way that we could be sure it would keep supplying our needs, we kept developing it until the land was bare. And then off we would go to the next place! The class spent the rest of the afternoon talking about what they could do to show how to be more civilized.The next day everyone attended class wearing a green T-shirt, with a message that said “I am not a nomad!”And，from then on, they set about showing that indeed they were not. Every time they knew they needed something, they made sure that they would get it using care and control. If they needed wood or paper, they would make sure that they got the recycled kind. They ordered their fish from fish farms, making sure that the fish they received were not too young and too small. They only used animals that were well cared for, and brought up on farms.And so, from their little town, those children managed to give up being nomads again, just as prehistoric men had done, so many thousands of years ago.41. Why would early humans travel about in the beginning?A. To experience different lifestyles.B. To go sightseeing in different places.C. To find what they could to feed themselves.D. To do more exercise to build themselves up.42. From Paragraph 2，we can know that _______________.A. people got tired of living in the same placeB. people gradually got used to living in citiesC. people spent a long time in learning to keep animalsD. people tended to settle down after learning farming43. In the teacher’s opinion, Lucy’s argument was ______A. reasonableB. ridiculousC. puzzlingD. shocking44. Which of the following agrees with the message “I am not a nomad” (Paragraph 7)?A. People eat young fish for its delicious taste.B. People use recycled materials as much as possible.C. Fishermen move elsewhere when there is no fish left.D. Foresters leave the place where wood is not available.45. The writer tries to make us believe that ______.A. mankind has been progressing mainly through traveling aboutB. it’s unwise for mankind to use the land in an uncontrolled wayC. it’s quite good for students to learn more about the history of mankindD. teachers should encourage students to voice their own opinions bravelyB46. According to the given information, what quality do you need to have if you want to make friends?A. Patience.B. Curiosity.C. Bravery.D. Humor.47. Those w ho can enjoy a happy life together but it’s hard to go through hardness hand in hand are________A. loyal friendsB. close friendsC. dishonest friendsD. fair-weather friends48. While having a conversation with your friends, you should avoid_______.A. applying the 30/70 patternB. talking too much about yourselfC. showing interest in their topicsD. knowing more details about them49. To be a reliable friend, you'd better_______________.It’s nice to have friends. Sometimes you need one person to talk to. You can play games, hang out or even just talk on the phone. Consider these suggestions to meet people and form strong, lasting friendships. Well, take your time, and don’t rush. ♦Join an organization or a club with people who have common interests. You don’t necessarily have a lot of common interests with people in order to make friends with them. But if you have something in common with them, it can make it a lot easier to talk to them and plan activities. Whatever your age and whatever your interests, there is an organization or a club for you. Social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter are also a great way to meet new people and learn more about them. ♦Join a sports team. As long as you enjoy the sport and support your teammates, joining a local team with a laid-back attitude could be a great way to make new friends. A sports team isn’t the only way. If you play instruments or sing ，try joining a band. ♦Make small talk. Keep the conversation light and cheery. Even if you’re complaining about something, make sure it’s something you’re both dissatisfied with, and emphasize the positive —how such a situation can be avoided in the future. Many conversationalists say that it is good to follow a 30/70 (30% talking, 70% listening) pattern during small talk when possible. ♦Ask them out for lunch or coffee. That will give you a better opportunity to talk and get to know each other a little bit better. A good way t o extend yourself is to say: “Hey, well, I've got to go, but if you ever want to talk over lunch or coffee or anything like that, let me give you my number or e-mail address.” This gives the person the opportunity to get in touch with you; they may or may not give you their information in return, but that’s fine. Maybe they don’t have time for new friends--don’t take it personally! Just offer your information to whoever seems to be potentially a good friend, and eventually somebody will get in touch.♦Be loyal(忠诚的）to a friend.You've probably heard of fair-weather friends. They’re the ones who are happy to be around you when things arc going well ，but are nowhere to be found when you really need them. Part of being a friend is being prepared to spare time and energy in order to help out your friends. If a friend needs help with an unpleasant thing, or if he or she just needs a shoulder to cry on ，be there. If your friends make a joke ，laugh with them. Never complain about a friend.♦Be a good listener.Many people think that in order to be seen as‘friend material’ they have to appear very interesting. Far more important than this ，however, is the ability to show that you’re interested in others. Listen carefully to what people say, remember important details about them (their names, their likes and dislikes), ask questions about their interests, and just take the lime to learn more about them. You don’t want to be the guy or girl that always has a better story than anyone else or that changes the subject suddenly instead of continuing the flow of conversation.♦Be trustworthy.One of the best things about having a friend is that you have someone to whom you can talk about anything, even secrets that you hide from the rest of the world. The key to being a good friend is the ability to keep secrets, so it’s no sec ret that you shouldn’t tell other people things that were told toyou in confidence.A. have some common interests with your friendsB. find something to complain about with your friendsC. keep the secrets that your friends have told youD. exchange your personal information with your friendsCHow good are you at saying “no”? For many, it’s surprisingly difficult. This is especially true of editors, who by nature tend to be eager and engaged participants in everything they do. Consider these scenes:It’s late in the day. That front-page package you’ve been working on is nearly complete; the last editing and it’s finished. Then enters the chief editor, who makes a suggestion requiring a more-than-modest rearrangement of the design and the addition of an information box. You want to scream: “No! It’s done!” What do you do?The first rule of saying no to the boss is “don’t say no”. He probably has something in mind when he makes the suggestion, and it’s up to you to find out what. The second rule is “don't raise the risks by challenging his authority”. That issue is already decided. The third rule is “be ready to put forward choices and consequences”. The boss’s suggestion might be appropriate, but there are always consequences. He might not know about the pages backing up that need attention, or about the designer who had to go home sick. Tell him he can have what he wants, but explain the consequen ces. Understand what he’s trying to accomplish and propose(提议）a Plan B that will make it happen without destroying what you’ve done so far.Here’s another case. Your least-favorite reporter suggests a silly story idea. This one should be easy, but it’s not. If you say no, even politely, you risk holding back further ideas, not just from that reporter, but from others who heard that you turned down the idea. This case is common in newsrooms that lack a systematic way to filter(过滤）story suggestions.Two steps are necessary. First, you need a system for how stories are proposed and reviewed. Reporters can bear rejection of their ideas if they believe they are given a fair hearing. Your natural reaction and strong rejection, even of a worthless idea, might not qualify as systematic or fair.Second, the people you work with need to make a “What if”，agreement covering ‘‘What if my idea is turned down?” How are people expected to react? Is there an appeal process? Can they perfect the idea and resubmit it? By imagining “What if...?” situations b efore they happen, you can reach understanding that will help ease you out of opposition.50. This passage is mainly about_______.A. the cases where ideas are rejectedB. the ways to give different opinionsC. the skills of saying noD. the methods for solving disagreements51. Instead of directly refusing your boss’s suggestion, you should_______.A. pretend that you are sickB. seek what he is thinking aboutC. state that your design is quite perfectD. ask him to give the reason for his suggestion52. By saying “This one should be easy …” (Paragraph 4)，the writer means it’s easy to_______A. understand the silly story ideaB. let others politely say noC. fool your least-favorite reporterD. turn down that reporter’s idea53. Why is it important to set up a system for stories to be proposed and reviewed?A. To allow reporters enough time to change their attitude.B. To develop reporters5 strong sense of fairness.C. To encourage reporters to give valuable ideas.D. To guarantee reporters chances to give further explanations.54. What is conveyed in the last paragraph?A. Sometimes we may view a problem from another angle.B. We may relax ourselves by raising questions when we're in trouble.C. “What if …?” situations help improve our relati onship with others.D. It’s almost impossible for others to accept our ideas at once.DRed roses were her favorites; her name was also Rose. And every year her husband sent them, tied with pretty bows. The year he died, the roses were delivered to her doo r. The card said, “Be my Valentine(情人)” , like all the years before.Each year he sent her roses, and the note would always say, “I love you even more this year, than last year on this day. My love for you will always grow, with every passing year.” She knew this was the last time that the roses would appear. She thought, he ordered roses in advance beforethis day. Her loving husband did not know that he would pass away. He always liked to do things early. Then, if he got too busy, everything would work out fine. She cut away some stems, placed them in a very special vase, and set the vase beside the picture of his smiling face. She would sit for hours in her husband’s favorite chair, staring at his photo and the roses sitting there.A year went by, and it was hard to live without her mate. Loneliness and solitude had become her fate. Then, the very hour, as on Valentine’s Day before, the doorbell rang, and there were roses, sitting by her door. She brought the roses in, and just looked at them in shock. Then, she went to get the telephone to call the florist(花匠）shop. The owner answered, and she asked him, if he would explain why someone would do this to her, causing her such pain.“I know your husband passed away, more than a year ago，” the owner said, “I knew you'd call, and you would want to know. The flowers you received today were paid for in advance. Your husband always planned ahead. He left nothing to chance.”“There is a standing order that I have on file down here. And he has paid, well in advance; you'll get them every year. There is also another thing that I think you should know. He wrote a special little card ... he did this years ago.” “Then, should ever, I find out that he's no longer here.
