Ms. Nelson got the idea after noticing that Matthew Finney, a shy boy from her homeroom at Winlock Miller Elementary School in Washington State, was standing outside his classroom crying and wearing a winter hat.Ms. Nelson could see the back of his neck had been shaved, and since Matthew usually had very thick curly brown hair, she realized that he'd had a haircut over the weekend. She asked him what was wrong， and he said he'd gotten a buzz cut for the summer. But this morning, a fifth grader on the bus made fun of him, and he didn't want to come to class and get laughed at by other kids. Ms. Nelson tried to convince Matthew to come inside, but since school rules banned kids from wearing hats indoors he refused—explaining that he was afraid of showing his haircut to the other children in case they also made fun of him."Finally I said, ‘ If you take your hat off and come to class, I'll let you give me a buzz cut too, " Ms. Nelson told Yahoo Parenting. "I figured it's just hair, and mine is already short anyway. I might as well get it shorter in time for the warm weather.Matthew excitedly took her up on the offer, and Ms Nelson and another teacher gathered all the fourth graders together during break time. A school employee brought in scissors, which Matthew used to the cheers of his classmates, excitedly watching as their teacher's hair fell away onto the ground in the schoolyard."It was a lot of fun for the kids, and it helped Matthew feel better about himself. " said Ms Nelson. " You have to do what it takes to reach children. Teaching isn't just about reading and writing: it's about self-worth and accepting differences.24．What does the underlined word "teased" probably mean？ ______A．caught up with B．made fun ofC．looked up to D．learned from25．What mainly led to Matthew's standing outside the classroom？ ______A．His fear of being laughed atB．His unwillingness to studyC．His breaking school rulesD．His not finishing his homework．26．Why did Ms Nelson have her head shaved？ ______A．To prepare for the warm weather．B．To show sympathy for Matthey2C．To comfort and encourage Matthew． D．To show her unique personality27．Which words can best describe Ms Nelson？ ______A．Knowledgeable and strict B．Responsible and caringC．Humorous and easygoing．D．Stubborn and determinedThe impression you make at the beginning of an interview is very important. Employers often decide to hire someone in the first three minutes of the interview. They judge you by your appearance, attitude and manners.A friendly smile when you walk into the room is important. A smile shows a confident and positive attitude.When you introduce yourself, make eye contact with the interviewer. Some interviewers offer a handshake. Others don't.Try to be as natural as possible. But pay attention to your body language. The way you sit, walk, gesture, use your voice and show feelings on your face is all part of your body language. It makes the interviewer know how you feel about yourself and the situation you are in. Are you feeling positively about yourself? Your abilities? Your interest in the job?Speak clearly and loudly enough. Show interest and enthusiasm in your voice. When you speak, look at the interviewer. Also, don't say negative things about yourself, or former employer.Listen to questions carefully. If you don't understand a question, ask the interviewer to repeat or explain:"I'm sorry, but I didn't catch that. ""I'm not sure exactly what you mean. "Almost everyone is nervous in a job interview. Interviewers know that. They don't expect you to be totally calm and relaxed. But they expect you to try to control your nervousness. They expect you to show confidence in your ability to do the job.At the end of the interview, thank the interviewer for her or his time.It's a good idea to send a short thank-you letter right after the interview, or deliver it by hand.Phone the company if you have not heard anything after one week. Ask if they have made a decision about the job.Good luck!28．It can be learned from the passage that ______ .A．you should always put on a smile when meeting the employerB．you should stand still with respect before the employerC．employers understand and like employees' nervousnessD．the first impression is very important in an interview29．Why should we pay attention to our body language? ______A．Because it can help us win the employer's positive impression.B．Because it can help us feel about the employer.C．Because it is needed by our employer.D．Because we need it to improve our feelings.30．The main purpose of the passage is ______ .A．to give you some advice on the art of finding a jobB．to tell right from wrong about job interviewsC．to explain why we should do something about an interviewD．to suggest not being shy in an interview31．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? ______A．A Friendly Smile B．Making a Good ImpressionC．Don't Be Nervous D．Sending a Thank-You LetterRecently, the Oxford English Dictionary, or OED, added about 1,000 words and new definitions to its website. The changes are to help users understand a mix of terms, some dating back many centuries. The additions include words such as “brencheese”, “deathshildy” and “hip-pop”.The new entries are part of the company’s update to , its searchable online dictionary for paid members. The OED makes changes to the website four times each year. But the latest print version has been in process since the year 2000, and may not be ready for 10 more years. That information comes from Katherine Connor Martin, who heads the company’s dictionary operations in the United States.Usually, the OED watches usage of a word for at least 10 years before deciding whether to add a new entry, new definition or word related to an existing entry, she said. This general rule, however, is sometimes not followed. That is what happened with “tweet”,3a word that the OED added far before the 10-year mark. Other times, the company adds words that are very old, but were not included in the dictionary in the past.“It’s funny because we talk about new words, but many of the words we add are already obsolete. It’s just that they were never in the dictionary before,” Martin told the Associated Press.That is the reality, she said, of a historical dictionary trying to put more than 1,000 years of English into books that already have over 855,000 entries. So, you get “brencheese”, a rarely used term for when bread and cheese are eaten together. The word dates back to the year 1665. The word “deathshildy” is from Old En glish. It means someone who is guilty of a serious crime and condemned to death.The website defines the term “hip-pop” for music that combines parts of hip-hop and popular music. The OED discovered the term “hip-hip pop” was used in a 1985 story from a Pe nnsylvania newspaper. It noted that the term “hip-pop” appeared in a 1991 U. S. newspaper report about the rap artist M.C．Hammer.The website has added several other terms related to modern culture. They include three popular terms: “binge-watching”, “spoiler alert” and “microaggression”.Here are a few other new entries if you long to read on.32．What has the OED done recently?A．It has made changes to its words’ explanations.B．It has sorted out some words which are out of date.C．It has helped users to have more convenient use of the OED.D．It has taken in more words and new meanings of some words.33．The underlined word “obsolete” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to __________.A．deserted B．updatedC．changed D．explained34．What will the paragraph following the passage most probably be about?A．The influence cultures have on the words in the OED.B．The difficulties the OED has in choosing the words.C．The effect modern technology has on the OED.D．The new vocabularies the OED has included.35．What’s th e best title of the text?A．The OED, a Great Help for English LearnersB．A Brand New Version of the OED WebsiteC．A Better Understanding of Words in the OEDD．Examples of the OED Choosing Words第II卷（非选择题）三、提纲类作文36．假定你是李华，正在美国交流学习。

D．Wet.BWhile both Europe and the United States of America are considered the Western world, it's good to know there are some differences in culture.If you are considering moving to a European country, you will find the information below helpful as you plan your move.One cultural difference is how the countries perceive(理解，认为)time andspace.For example, a house in the United States that is 200 years old would be considered ancient.This is probably because America is a fairly young country.However, in Europe, something would not be considered ancient unless it was at least 2，000 yearsold.However, perception of distance seems to be the opposite.While Europeans would consider 100 kilometers a long way to drive, Americans would not think twice.This could be due to the fact that Europe is smaller and more heavily populated.In fact, the United States is over twice the size of Europe.Cars are another factor that differs greatly between Europe and the United States.American automobiles usually have automatic transmissions(自动变速器)while European cars generally have manual gears(手动变速器)．European automobiles are smaller and more round­shaped, while American cars are larger and more square­shaped.Trucks and limousines(豪华轿车)are vehicles that Americans enjoy.In Europe, however, these types of vehicles are hardly seen, as they prefer smaller cars due to parking and traffic congestion．The view of education is another cultural difference between the European countries and the United States.In America, parents may save for many years and even go into debt to pay for their children to attend college.Most schools and universities in Europe, however, are free of tuition.In fact, children are expected to attend college there.5．The author wrote the first paragraph mainly to ．A．tell the differences between Europe and AmericaB．advise people to travel to Europe and AmericaC．introduce the topic of this passage to the readersD．persuade people to live in a European country6．Which of the following shows the Americans' perception of time?A．An ancient house has a history of 200 years.B．Europe has been at least 2，000 years old.C．A hundred kilometres is a long way to drive.D．It is proper to drive a distance of 100 kilometres.7．The underlined phrase “parking and traffic congestion”in Paragraph 3 means “ ”．A．people like parking their cars on the roadB．the cars go through the parks now and thenC．it is easy to park and drive on the highwayD．parking is not easy and the traffic is heavy8．It can be concluded from the last paragraph that ．A．Americans are richer than EuropeansB．Americans work harder than EuropeansC．the children in Europe needn't go to schoolD．it costs Americans a lot of money to go to collegeCForty years ago，Finland was a small country with mediocre(普通的)publicschools.Today，Finland is still small but no one calls Finland's public schools mediocre any more.In 2000，the Finns surprised the world when their 15­year­old scored at the top of a closely watched international exam called the PISA.Finland has stayed near the top ever since，while the US scores around the middle.Pasi Sahlberg，an official with Finland's Ministry of Education and Culture，is in Seattle this week to share the story of Finland's success，and what states like Washington can learn from it.Sahlberg's message，although he is too polite to put it so bluntly(坦率地)：Stop testing so much；trust teachers more；give less homework；shorten the school day.On Tuesday，in a room filled with teachers，principals，professors，school­board members and policy makers，Sahlberg joked about the Finns' reputation(名声)for being quiet，humble people.“When Finland hit the top of the PISA，”he said，“the biggest disbelievers were the Finns.”“More seriously，Finland never set out to create the world's top school system. Instead，”he said，“the country decided in the 1970s that it wanted to ensure that a student's success didn't depend on family background.”“Finland relied on cooperation among teachers and schools，rather than on competition.Rather than judging teachers and schools based on test scores，”he said，“Finland puts trust in its teachers and principals.Teachers develop the curriculum in Finland，and design their own tests.There are no national tests，except one at the end of high school.”That's just the start.Along with a shorter school day，Finnish students don't even start school until they are 7 years old.Many primary schools have a policy against giving homework.“But Finland，”he said，“succeeded in part by adopting ideas from the US and other countries.And those countries，”he said，“can learn from Finland，too.”9．What might be the author's purpose of writing the passage?A．To introduce a Finnish official.B．To compare the education systems of Finland and the US.C．To share the story of Finland's success in education.D．To ask the US to improve its education.10．People first learned Finland's success in education from ．A．its students' performance in an international examB．its international exchange programsC．lectures given by Pasi SahlbergD．its small­sized public schools11．Which of the following can contribute to Finland's success in education?a．Giving students fewer tests.b．Giving teachers more trust.c．Evaluating students' family backgrounds.d．Creating the world's top school system.e．Starting school late.A．a，b，c　B．c，d，eC．a，b，e D．b，c，d12．What Pasi Sahlberg said in Paragraph 7 suggested that ．A．children should start school as early as possible.B．competition among teachers might be harmful to education.C．the US education system is still the most advanced.D．it's necessary to set up a national curriculum.DPhiladelphia，Pennsylvania—America's fifth­largest city—is known for many famous firsts.Once a major American colonial city，it is the home of America's first library，its first hospital，and its first zoo.Now it is also the first U．S. city to be named a World Heritage City.On November 6，Philadelphia joined more than 260 other cities that have been recognized for their powerful effect on the world.These cities include Paris，France；Florence，Italy；and Cairo，Egypt.“Today marks the start of a new and exciting chapter in the history of Philadelphia，”remarked Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter when the announcement was made.“As a World Heritage City，Philadelphia is being officially recognized on the global stage for its wealth of contributions to the world.”To be named a World Heritage City，a city must be home to a UNESCO World Heritage site.UNESCO World Heritage sites are selected for their universal value and significance.For Philadelphia，that site is Independence Hall.Independence Hall is where two of the most important documents in the U．S. history—the Declaration of Independence and the U．S. Constitution—were adopted.The Declaration of Independence，approved on July 4，1776，united the 13 former British colonies and declared them independent from British rule.The U．S. Constitution，signed in 1787，established the American democratic system of government.A democracy is a system of government in which the people elect their leaders.The Constitution later explained the basic freedoms American citizens have.Philadelphia Deputy Mayor Alan Greenberger says the city's selection as a World Heritage City also reflects its educational，cultural，and economic achievements.The city is home to dozen of colleges and universities，and many museums，such as the Philadelphia Museum of Art.“Philadelphia has rightfully earned its place as one of the greatest cities in the world，”Greenberger says.13．On November 6，Philadelphia became ．A．America's fifth­largest cityB．a World Heritage CityC．the first U．S. city with a powerful effect on the worldD．home to a UNESCO World Heritage site14．Which statement is WRONG according to the passage?A．Philadelphia was an American colonial city.B．Independence Hall is a UNESCO World Heritage site.C．Philadelphia enjoys many famous firsts in the world.D．Independence Hall saw the adoption of many important documents in the U．S. history.15．The passage probably comes from ．A．a history book B．a newspaperC．a guidebook for travellers D．a political book第二节（共5个小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

In fact, Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit of his dreams. There, in the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future, and nothing could stop him. Over the phone, his mother told him, “Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is Wednesday.” Memories flashed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days. “Jack, did you hear me?” “Oh, sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. It’s been so long since I thought of him. I’m sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago.” Jack said. “Well, he didn’t forget you. Every time I saw him he’d ask how you were doing. He’d reminisce (回忆) about the many days you spent over ‘his side of the fence’ as he put it.” Mom told him. “I loved that old house he lived in.” Jack said. “You know, Jack, after your father died, Mr. Belser stepped in to make sure you had a man’s influence in your life.” she said.此卷只装订不密封 班级姓名准考证号考场号座位号“He’s the one who taught me carpentry. I wouldn’t be in this business if it weren’t for him. He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important… Mom, I’ll be there for the funeral.” Jack said.Busy as he was, he kept his word. Jack caught the next flight to his hometown. Mr. Belser’s funeral was small and uneventful. He had no children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed away.The night before he had to return home, Jack and his Mom stopped by to see the old house next door one more time, which was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories. Every picture, every piece of furniture… Jack stopped suddenly.“What’s wrong, Jack?” his Mom asked.“The box is gone.” he said.“What box?” Mom asked.“There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk. I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside. All he’d ever tell me was ‘the thing I value most’.” Jack said.It was gone. Everything about the house was exactly how Jack remembered it, except for the box. He figured someone from the Belser family had taken it.“Now, I’ll never know what was so valuable to him,” Jack said sadly.Returning to his office the next day, he found a package on his desk. The return address caught his attention.“Mr. Harold Belser” it read.Jack tore open the package. There inside was the gold box and an envelope. Jack’s hands shook as he read the note inside.“Upon my death, please forward this box and its contents to Jack Bennett. It’s the thing I valued most in my life.” A small key was taped to the letter. His heart racing, and tears filling his eyes, Jack carefully unlocked the box. There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch. Running his fingers slowly over the fine cover, he opened it.Inside he found these wo rds carved: “Jack, Thanks for your time! Harold Belser.”“Oh, My God! This is the thing he valued most…” Jack held the watch for a few minutes, then called his assistant and cleared his appointments for the next two days.“Why?” his assistant asked.“I need some time to spend with my son.” he said.4．Why did Jack think Mr. Belser died years ago?A. College and career prevented him from remembering Mr. Bleser.B. Jack was too busy realizing his dreams to think about Mr. Belser.C. Jack was too busy with his business and family to think about Mr. Belser.D.

Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit of his dreams.C. Before his mother’s call, Jack often thought of Mr. Belser.D. Jack’s mother was grateful to Mr. Belser.6．Why did Jack say he needed some time to spend with his son?A. He was very tired of his work and wanted to have a good rest.B. He came to realize the importance of the time with his family.C. He had missed his son and his family for days.D. He had promised to spare more time to stay with his son.7．Which of the following is the most suitable title for this passage?A. The Good Old TimesB. An Old Gold WatchC. What He Valued MostD. The Lost Childhood DaysCWhy should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup (基因构成) as human beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects.Exploration also allows minerals and other potential (潜在的) resources to be found. Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physical possessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from other spin-offs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems. Even non-stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products (副产品) of technological developments in space.While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge can help human beings to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets. It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.8．Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph1?A. To express his doubts.B. To compare different ideas.C. To describe the conditions on Earth.D. To introduce points for discussion.9．The underlined word “spin-offs” in Para graph 4 probably refers to______.A. survival chancesB. potential resourcesC. unexpected benefitsD. physical possessions10．What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets?A. Our genetic makeup.B. Resources on the earth.C. The adaptive ability of humans.D. By-products in space exploration.11．Which of the statements can best sum up the passage?A. Space exploration has created many wonders.B. Space exploration provided the best value for money.C. Space exploration may help us avoid potential problems on Earth.D. Space exploration can benefit science and technology.DTwo friends have an argument that bleaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according to an official report on youth violence, "In our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence". Given that this is the case, why aren't students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive cars, or stay physically fit?First of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult (侮辱). For example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to violence. The problem isn't in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict.Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution---stay calm. Once the student feels calmer, he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well. Rude words, name-calling, and accusation only add fuel to the emotional fire. On the other hand, soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy for conflict resolution: listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterward, the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speaker's position. Then the two people should change roles.Finally, students need consider what they are hearing. This doesn't mean trying to figure out what's wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. For example, a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themselves questions such as these: How did this start? What do I really want? What am I afraid off? As the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesn't, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.There will always be conflict in schools, but that doesn't mean there needs to be violence. After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to Educators for Social Responsibility, "64 percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom; 75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation; and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves". Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends, teachers, parents, bosses, and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.12．From Paragraph 2 we can learn that _______.A. violence is more likely to occur at lunchtimeB. students tend to lose their temper easilyC. a small conflict can lead to violenceD. the eating habit of a student is often the cause of a fight13．Why do students need to ask themselves the questions stated in Paragraph 5?A. To make clear what the real issue is.B. To get ready to buy new things.C. To find out who to blame.D. To figure out how to stop the shouting match.14．After the conflict resolution program was started in Atlanta, it was found that______.A. more teachers felt better about themselves in schoolsB. there was less student cooperation in the classroomC. there was a decrease in classroom violenceD. the teacher-student relationship greatly improved15．The writer’s purpose for writing this article is to_______.A. complain about problems in school educationB. advocate teaching conflict management in schoolsC. teach students different strategies for school lifeD. inform teachers of the latest studies on school violence二、七选五Rather Public speaking and critical thinkingWhat is critical thinking? To a certain degree, it’s a matter of logic (逻辑) — of being able to spot weaknesses in other people’s arguments and to avoid them in your own, it also includes related skills such as distinguishing fact from opinion and assessing the soundness of evidence .In the broad sense, critical thinking is focused, organized thinking – the ability to see clearly the relationships among ideas. 16．The greatest thinkers, scientists, and inventors have often taken information that was really available and put it together differently to produce new ideas. That, too, is critical thinking.17．As the class goes on, for example, you will probably spend a good deal of time organizing your speeches. While this may seem like a purely mechanical (机械的) exercise, it is closely connected with critical thinking. If the structure of your speech is loose and confused, chances are that your thinking is also disordered and confused. If, on the other hand, the structure is clear, there is a good chance your thinking is too. Organizing a speech is not a matter of arranging the ideas your already have. 18．What is true of organization is true of many aspects of public speaking. 19．As you work on expressing your ideas in clear accurate language, you will improve your ability to think clearly and accurately. 20．As you learn to listen critically to speeches in class, you will be better able to assess the ideas of speakers in a variety of situations.If you take full advantage of your speech class, you will be able to develop your skills as critical thinker in many circumstances. This is one reason public speaking has been regarded as a vital part of education since the days of ancient Greece.A. Rather, it is an important part of shaping the ideas themselves.B. This may seem like a lot of time, but the rewards are well worth it.C. It may also help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech.D. As you study the role of evidence and reasoning in speechmaking, you will see how they can be used in other forms of communication as well.E. The skills you learn in your speech class can help you become a more effective thinker in a number of ways.F. If you are wondering what this has to do with your public speaking class, the answer is quite a lot.G. It has often been said that there are few new ideas in the world, only reorganized ideas.三、完形填空Inspiration“Mama, when I grow up, I’m going to be one of those!” I said this after seeing the Capital Dancing Company perform when I was three.
