I have heard these sons and daughters say they never fully appreciated their mothers until it was too late to tell them.I am blessed with the dear mother who is still alive. I appreciate her more each day. My mother does not change, but I do. As I grow older and wiser, I realize what an extraordinary person she is. How sad that I am unable to speak these words in her presence, but they flow easily from my pen.How does a daughter begin to thank her mother for life itself? For the love, patience and just plain hard work that go into raising a child? For running after a toddler, for understanding a moody teenager, for tolerating a college student who knows everything? For waiting for the day when a daughter realizes how wise her mother really is?How does a grown woman thank a mother for continuing to be a mother? For being ready with advice (when asked) or remaining silent when it is most appreciated? For not saying, “I told you so”, when she could have said these words dozens of times? For being essentially herself -- loving, thoughtful, patient, and forgiving?I don't know how, dear God, except to bless her as richly as she deserves and to help me live up to the example she has set. I pray that I will look as good in the eyes of my children as my mother looks in mine.A daughter( ) 1. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.

They use "essay” tests, which require students to write long answers to broad, general questions such as the following: "Mention several ways in which Benjamin Franklin has influenced thinking of people in his own country and in other parts of the world.”One advantage of the essay test is that it reduces the element of luck. The student cannot get a high score just by making a lucky guess. Another advantage is that it shows the examiner more about the student’s ability to put facts together into a meaningful whole. It should show how deeply he has thought about the subject.Sometimes, though, essay tests have disadvantages, too. Some students are able to write rather good answers without really knowing much about the subject, while other students who actually know the material have trouble expressing their ideas in the essay form. Besides, in an essay test the student’s sco re may depend upon the examiner’s feelings at the time of reading the answer. If he is feeling tired or bored, the student may receive a lower score than he should. Another examiner reading the same answer might give it a much higher mark. Because of this, the objective test gives each student a fairer chance, and of course it is easier and quicker to score.Whether an objective test or an essay test is used, problems arise. When some objective questions are used along with some essay questions, however, a fairly clear picture of the student’s knowledge can usually be obtained.( ) 4. What may have been discussed in the previous paragraphs?A. The essay test.B. How teachers test their students.C. How students write their essays.D. The objective test.( ) 5. The essay test is preferred because ________.A. it shows more about the student’s understanding of the subjectB. it tests the student’s knowledge of the material as well as his expression of ideasC. it gives each student a fairer chanceD. its scoring may be influenced by the examiner’s feelings( ) 6. The underlined word “this” ( Para 3 ) refers to the fact that ________.A. students may receive a lower score in an essay testB. another examiner usually gives the answer a higher markC. different examiners may give the same essay different scoresD. the objective test gives each student a fairer chance( ) 7. According to the passage, which of the following statements about the objective test is NOT true?A. It is more objective than the essay test in terms of scoring.B. It allows the student to guess the correct answer without really knowing the material.C. It shows the student’s ability to think about difficult problems.D. It is easy and quick to score.参考答案：DACCCWhen Johnny Cash sings, people listen. His big, deep voice rumbles out of radios andjuke-boxes across North America. His records sell by the million. Country-music fans everywhere know his big hits. They love songs like “Hey Porter”, “Ring of Fire”, and “Folsom Prison Blue”.Johnny Cash sings about a hundred concerts a year. People like what they hear and what they see, too. Rugged and big-shouldered, the singer stands six-two without his black boots on.He's a two-hundred-pound package of muscle and talent. And that scar on his cheek? It's a bullet hole, of course!In the minds of most people, Johnny Cash is “Mr. Tough (violent) Guy”. He's an ex-drug addict (上瘾者) who was once put in prison. His grandmother was an Indian. To keep from hunger he once had to live on wild rabbits killed from forty feet away with a knife. Some people say he even killed a man.In fact, most of the Johnny Cash story is just that--a story. True, years ago he had a “drug habit” for a short time. He “popped” pills. But he never used heroin or other “hard” drugs. Sometimes he'd go wild and get locked u p for a few hours. But he never served a prison sentence.There's no Indian blood in his veins. He's been a killer only in a song. As for the “bullet hole",it's an old scar left by a doctor who opened a cyst.People who know Johnny Cash well say he's a “gentle guy”, a “generous guy”-- but not a “toughguy”. How did the stories get started? Some of them, like the story about the “Indian grandmother”, he made up long ago to add excitement to his career. Others, like the “bullet hole”, simply got started. Now there's little the singer can do to change people's minds. “They just want to believe it,” he says. ( ) 8.

Psychologists say in the vast majority of these cases, this is just the mind’s way of dealing with stress and conflicts (冲突), problems and concerns. It’s a good thing.They can be surprisingly vivid and real, or fragmented (零散的) and weird. They can be comforting or frightening. Our dreams can tell us a lot about what we are really thinking, particularly when we are at life’s passages or turning points. Dreams give us an x-ray of our unconsciousness (潜意识).Lisa Oppenheim had the same dream whenever she was about to move to a new home or a new city. It’s always just a feeling of needing to stay safe. Experts say disturbing dreams often occur around major life events. For Lisa, it was moving. For others, it can be marriage or divorce, the death of a loved one or pressure at work.Doctor Siegel has studied the meaning of dream for nearly 30 years. He believes stressful orupsetting dreams can be a sign of what’s buried deep inside our minds.He said, “Dreams are important to survival. They are very important to the balance of our psyche (心灵). They help us work out problems that we’re having every single day. They go to the cutting edge of what’s stressful, what’s bothering us and what we’re working out in our lives. Dreams can guide us and in order to find that guidance, to find that deep source of wisdom that’s in our dreams every night, we need to pay attention to our dreams.”But many dreams are scary and horrible. How can we understand these nightmares? Doctor Siegel says they are reflecting especially intense emotion or unresolved conflict. The stronger the emotion in the dream, whether it’s pleasure or fear, the likelier the dream is to be important.Knowing what your recurring dreams or nightmares mean can be liberating. Some nightmares can be a sign of serious psychological problems, such as post-dramatic stress disorder. If they are extremely disturbing or violent or the cause of severe anxiety, you should see a professional therapist. ( ) 12. People will have recurring dreams when they _______.A. live with great pressure or have great eventsB. do the same things all their livesC. move to a new home or a new cityD. are comforted or frightened( ) 13. Which of the following is true according to Doctor Siegel?A. Dreams play a very important role in the world’s balance.B. Dreams help us find out the problems we need to solve.C. We should pay attention to every dream we have.D. Only the dreams with pleasure are important to us.( ) 14. How should we deal with the recurring nightmares?A. We should remember them because they are important to us.B. We can ignore them since they are just reflecting our emotions.C. We need to take some sleeping pills to stop this serious problem.D. We should see a psychological doctor if they are seriously disturbing.( ) 15. The purpose of the passage is _______.A. to introduce a variety of dreamsB. to offer some advice on avoiding nightmaresC. to compare recurring dreams with nightmaresD. to ease our anxiety on recurring dreams参考答案：ABDD第二节（共5 小题；每小题2.5 分，满分12.5 分）If I could give everyone one piece of advice about the college application process, it would bethis: 16Be different from the beginning. Don’t wait until the summer after junior year, or worse, the fall of senior year to begin this process. 17 You might be seeing the stress in seniors who are frantically (疯狂地) visiting colleges, writing essays, and completing applications.18 Do some research and think beyond the “usual suspects” (备选) before you find the most suitable choice. Colleges compare students from the same high school with the same measuring stick since they read all the applications together. If your coursework and test scores don't look good enough, it will be more challenging to be accepted. However, your leadership or special talents may be more impressive if you are one of only a few students applying to a certain college.Be different in the activities you choose and follow your interests, not your friends. 19It could be tutoring, the environment, dancing, writing, or starting a business, but take part for the right reasons. Your activities should be meaningful and tell a story about who you are.Be different in what you write about in your essay to stand out. It is the one tool that gives you total control, so use it wisely. Write what you want them to know about you, not what you think they want to read. Brainstorming your essay topic is a self-reflection process. 20 Find something unique.A. Try to develop your talents.B. Be different in preparing your college list.C. Stay away from topics that everyone writes about.D. Dare to be different.E. Imagine what people are usually interested in.F. Starting early will relieve much stress.G. Find something that matters to you or something you care about.参考答案：EAGDC。
