Many people desire success, yet few of them have tried really hard to achieve their goal . Blaming their failure on lack of ability , they fail to realize that it is lack of efforts that leads to their undesirable situation. What made me realize the above truth was my experience in the first year of high school . Top student as I was in junior middle school , the poor scores I got in the first two tests in high school made me realize that all my classmates were overachievers , who seemed tobe much more clever and capable than me . So stressed was I that I just gave up trying , getting distracted in class and pitying myself for not being a genius. Fortunately , the teacher in charge of our class came to my rescue , telling me that I should have more confidence in myself ,adapt to high school and put more efforts in my study .Inspired by what he said , I made a plan for my study and spared no efforts to carry it out . Tired as I was , I was glad to see my efforts off . Now , I work as diligently as before and I am referred to as an overachiever as well .。

We haven’t got that at the moment, but we could order it for you. Do you know the name of the publisher?Text 4W: I’ve brought lunch. So we can eat in the park.M: That’s much more fun than eating in the restaurant.Text 5W: New City Railway Station.M: Good morning.

Yes, sir. 8:35, change at Oxford.M: Thank you very much.Text 6M: What seems to be the matter?W: I just can’t sleep well, doctor.M: I see.

I’m Harvard Smith. As the editor of The V oice, I’d like to introduce you to our school daily newspaper. We need volunteers to help us keep the student body informed through our newspaper.

Good grades are necessary. We can pay you, depending on your work but don’t expect to get rich. This isn’t something you do for the money. Mostly it’s just for fun. Anyone who is interested in this job should speak to me immediately after this meeting. Be prepared to start right now! The first issue goes to press tomorrow.21~80．略81．Dear DavidI’m glad to receive your letter. I’ve learnt that you are concerned about the smog which frequently strikes some cities and areas of China. Thanks for your concern. I’m also very worried about such terrible weather because it has brought much inconvenience or rather harm to people’s health such as traffic jam, road accidents, bad coughs and even lung cancers and so on.As is known to all, good environment comes from careful protection. So we should do what we can to protect it. I believe a small step can make a difference. Try to drive less and choose air-friendly products. Only when everyone has the environmental awareness can we have a blue sky.Looking forward to hearing from you and share your good ideas.Yours,Li Hua。

But understand that sometimes I want to tell you something and I want to get it just right. Putting it down on paper helps me do that. I wish I had been a better writer. I wish I had gone to college. If I had, I think I would have studied English and maybe my vocabulary would have improved. So many times I feel I am using the same words over and over. Like a woman wearing the same dress every day. So boring!What I want to say to you, Charley, is you are marrying a wonderful girl. I think of Catherine in many ways like I think of Roberta. Like a daughter. She is sweet and patient. You should be the same with her, Charley.Here is what you are going to find out about marriage: you have to work at it together. And you have to love three things. You have to love1) Each other.2) Your children (when you have some).3) Your marriage.What I mean by that last one is, there may be times that you fight, and sometimes you and Catherine won’t even like each other. But those are the times you have to love your marriage. It’s like a third party. Look at your wedding photos. Look at any memories you’ve mad e.

Of course he helped set the trend, so that got me thinking about the link between films and trends in fashion. Fashion and films have gone hand in hand for long. The Wild One is a good example: it appeared in 1954, starring Brando. Dressed in a black leather motorcycle jacket, leather cap and jeans, he created a look which is still considered “cool” today. Everyone from Madonna to middle-aged men is seen wearing the classic leather motorcycle jacket.Another strong influence on fashion trends was Breakfast at Tiffany’s, starring Audrey Hepburn. She made famous the simple black dress that looks perfect at either a cocktail party or just standing around an expensive department store like Tiffany’s with a pastry and coffee in your hand, as Audrey Hepburn does in the film. She looks so elegant, wearing simple but beautiful dresses, big dark glasses and a string of pearls around her neck. Audrey Hepburn still influences women’s fashion with her “Tiffany’s look”.In more modern times, the film star Uma Thurman created a major fashion trend when she appeared in the film Pulp Fiction, made in 1994. Her style was very simple. Her black trousers, crisp white shirt and hair style was copied by women in the world.Influencing fashion trends can often be about timing. The movie Memoirs of a Geisha came just in time to start a trend in Japanese fashion. It started the Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi, who wore beautiful silk kimonos(和服), and it won an Oscar for Costume Design. Many travel companies picked up on the trend and ran “geisha trips” to Japan. The film has also led to a regained interest in kimonos. It is now quite common to see young Japanese women wearing kimonos not just on traditional occasions, but at various social events. The fashion is also beginning to spread to western countries.28. What is the best title of the passage?A. Films and fashion.B. Stars’ fashion.C. Influential films.D. Film cultures.29.

Supported by the Ladies’ Association in London for the promotion of female education in India and the East, she immediately took up the work of starting a girls’ school for Chinese girls, which was soon followed by the opening of a boys’ school.Mrs. Gutzlaff’s comprador(买办) happened to come from my village and was actually my father’s friend and neighbor. It was through him that my parents heard about Mrs. Gutzlaff’s school and it was doubtlessly through his influence and means that my father got me admitted into the school. It has always been a mystery to me why my parents should put me into a foreign school, instead of a traditional Confucian school, where my big brother was placed. Most certainly such a step would have been more suitable for Chinese public opinion, taste, and the wants of the country, than to allow me to attend an English school. Moreover, a Chinese belief is the only avenue in China that leads to political promotion, influence, power and wealth. I can only guess that as foreign communication with China was just beginning to grow, my parents hoped that it might be worthwhile to put one of their sons to learning English. In this way he might become an interpreter and have a more advantageous position to enter the business and diplomatic world. I am wondering if that influenced my parents to put me into Mrs. Gutzlaff’s School. As to what other sequences it has eventually brought about in my later life, they were entirely left in the hands of God.32. How was the author admitted to Mrs. Gutzlaff’s school?A.

Why did the author’s parents put him into an English school？A. It met with Chinese public opinion.B. An English school was more influential.C. He could become a successful interpreter.D. Foreign trade with China was developing fast.34. What did the author think of his parents’ decision to put him into an English school?A. It was skeptical.B. It was wonderful.C. It was thoughtful.D. It was mysterious.35. What does the underlined word “sequences” in the last sentence probably mean ?A. Results.B. Order.C. Series.D. Progress.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
