To be a real gentleman, you should know that true forgiveness is one of the most remarkable qualities a human can possess!In the fighting between two countries in the 1970s, a young man was walking from one village to the next when he was 1 by an armed guerrilla (游击队) fighter from the enemy country. The fighter 2 the young man down the hill where he was to be 3 .But a(n) 4 thing happened. The young man, who had 5 military (军事的) training, was able to disarm (解除武装) the fighter. Now, the table was 6 and it was the fighter who was ordered down the hill.As they walked, 7 , the young man began to reflect on what was happening. Recalling the 8 of his mother, "Love your enemies; do good to those who 9 you." He found he could go no farther.He 10 the gun into the bushes, told the fighter he was 11 to go and turned back 12 the hill.Minutes later, he heard footsteps 13 behind him as he walked. "Is this the end after all?" he 14 . Perhaps the fighter had got the gun and wanted to finish him off. But he continued on, 15 glancing back, until his enemy reached him, only to grab him in a hug and pour out 16 for sparing his life.Mercy often wears the face of 17 . And though it usually isn't an enemy in uniform-that we are challenged to forgive, we have 18 for mercy every day.

Coming home after working out for a whole day I had my purse lost. I 1 it had slipped out my backpack as I was being 2 . While it was probably very close to my apartment it still failed to come into 3 and I had no 4 but to cancel my debit cards.I‟d had the purse for more than a decade as it was a Christmas present,which was a bright, red leather, Cheeky Monkey purse, so probably not entirely 5 for a 36-year-old but I was very upset to have lost it!Everyone I spoke to 6 I might get the purse back 7 but the money and vouchers in there would very likely disappear. I had 8 written off the 9 of the purse and was even considering whether to move on and go “grown-up”when I was seeking a10 .I came home late the following night and my monkey purse was on my mat!

It was too dark to 13 it then, so I came back tonight. I got your 14 from your license. Sorry. Iain.”Not only had this man returned my purse but he thought he 15 me an apology for not bringing it back sooner!I have told almost all my acquaintances,who almost responded with a similar standard answer, “It restores your 16 in human nature” and it 17 lots of stories about similar 18 experiences.There were no contact 19 so I am unable to get in touch to say thank you to Iain, but I hope he will be 20 of how grateful I am!1.

(18分)歌德之勺张炜1987年,从北到南走了一趟德国。
一天,我和朋友在法兰克福大街上闲走,突然想起了歌德。
这儿有他最重要的故居啊。
我和几个朋友立刻匆匆去寻。
这是一个奇特的人物。
在文学的星云中,像他一样的文坛“恒星”大概不会太多。
在中国,也只有屈原、李白等才能和他媲美。
第一次读《少年维特之烦恼》,掰指计算作家当时的年龄,感受一个少年的全部热烈。
那时觉得如此饱满的情感只会来自一种写实,而不需要什么神奇的技巧。
现在看这种理解有一多半是对的。
一件伟大的艺术品,究竟需要多少技巧?不知道。
我们只知道它会是一位伟大的艺术家写的,它只要源于那样的一颗心灵。
心灵的性质重于一切。
今天终于以另一种方式接近了你。
今天来到了从小觉得神秘的这位艺术家生活过的实实在在的空间。
多么不可思议,多么幸福。
我们可以用手摸一下诗人出没的东西,小心翼翼。
我们试图通过逝去的诗人遗留在器物的神秘,去接通那颗伟大的灵魂。
歌德故居是一幢三层楼房,当然很宽敞,很气派,与想象中的差不多。
书房,卧室,客厅,最后又是厨房。
我不知道为什么,对这个宽大的厨房特别这样注意起来,在那个阔大的铁锅跟前站了许久。
记得锅上垂了一个巨型排气铁罩。
所有炊事器具一律黝黑粗大,煎锅、铲子;特别是那把高悬在墙上的平底铜勺,简直把我吓了一跳。
我从来没有见过这么大一把炊勺。
这样的炊具有没有办法做出精致的菜肴,我不知道。
但我可以想象出当年这里一定是高朋满座,常常让诗人有一场大欢乐大陶醉。
可以想象像酒酣耳热之时,那一场诗人的豪放。
大厨房约可以让十几个厨子同时运作,他们或烹或炸,或煎或炒,大铁勺碰得哐哐有声。

A few years ago I was days away from the world trip I had been planning for 6 months. I decided to go out with two of my friends to have a 1 drink. The first half of the evening was filled with them 2 me about safety in foreign countries and telling me to be 3 in all the dangerous places I was visiting. As the night progressed we all got very drunk and rude 4 it was the last time we would see each other for some time. Come closing time at about 1 am, we walked 5 out of the pub and began to make our way home.As we were making our way through the risky neighborhood, five random robbers jumped out of a lane and for no apparent reason began to 6 me and my friends. Luckily a large group of slightly nicer individuals appeared on the scene and came to our aid, 7 the robbers away. Apart from a few cuts and stolen mobile phones, no one was too badly hurt and within a few minutes we were 8 about the whole suffering. However, what happened next wasn’t so funny (for me at least).As we 9 our walk home a police car pulled up and a group of officers 10 and surrounded us. We began to explain that we were all right and there was no need to give any statement, but we were all told to 11 up. Two particularly large officers then 12 me and threw me in the back of the car, before ordering my friends home. I was still a little drunk and before I could 13 what was happening I was in a police station being told to empty my pockets. Following some brief questions and being informed that I was 14 for attack, I was thrown in a cell and told I would be 15 tomorrow.I spent the night worrying that in my 16 confusion I had hit and hurt someone, however these worries were put to rest in the morning when a kind elderly officer entered my cell with a blanket and a cup of tea. A few minutes later I was being handed back my 17 and having antiseptic cream(消毒膏) put on my black eye. It turned out that one of the gang who jumped me and my friends resembled me and was wearing 18 clothes, leading the police to 19 me for him when looking at CCTV footage. After a few awkward 20 I was told that they needed the cell space so I had to leave. They didn’t even offer me the bus fare home. The funniest part?

ANOT all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. V iolence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares.Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce ,or possibly erase(抹去),the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, While others support it.Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories."Some memories can ruin people's lives . They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions," said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. "This could relieve a lot of that suffering."But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity (特质). They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past."All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I'm not sure we want to wipe those memories out, "said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.1. The passage is mainly about ________ .A. a new medical inventionB. a new research on the pillC. a way of erasing painful memoriesD. an argument about the research on the pill2. The drug tested on people can ________ .A. cause the brain to fix memoriesB. stop people remembering bad experiencesC. prevent body producing certain chemicalsD. Wipe out the emotional effects of memories3. We can infer from the passage that ________ .A. people doubt the effects of the pillsB. the pill will stop people's bad experiencesC. taking the pill will do harm to people's healthD. the pill has probably been produced in America4. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with?A. Some memories can ruin people's lives.B. People want to get rid of bad memories.C. Experiencing bad events makes us different from others.D. The pill will reduce people's sufferings from bad memories.BDo dogs understand us?Be careful what you say around your dog. It might understand more than you think.A border collie named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee(黑猩猩).In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. As the dog couldn't see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words.In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before.The correct object was chosen in seven out of l0 tests, suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of elimination(排除法). A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive.Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed (品种) known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months.It's hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they can't talk back. Still, it wouldn't hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. Y ou might just get a big, wet kiss in return!5. From paragraph 2 we know that ________ .A. animals are as clever as human beingsB. dogs are smarter than parrots and chimpanzeesC. chimpanzees have very good word-learning skillsD. dogs have similar 'learning abilities as 3-year-old children6. Both experiments show that ________ .A. Rico is smart enough to get all commands rightB. Rico can recognize different things including toysC. Rico has developed the ability of learning mathematicsD. Rico won't forget the names of objects once recognizing them7. Which of the following statements is true?A. The purpose of the experiments is to show the border collie's mental abilities.B. Rico has a better memory partly because of its proper early training.C. The border collie is world-famous for recognizing objects.D. Rico is born to understand its owner's commands.8. What does the writer want to tell us?A. To train your dog.B. To talk to your dog.C. To be friendly to your dog.D. To be careful with your dog.CPaynes PrairieHave you ever heard of Paynes Prairie? It is one of the most important natural and historical areas in Florida. Paynes Prairie is located near Gainesville. It is large, 21 000 acres. This protected land is called a preserve. TheFlorida Park Service manage the preserve.The Paynes Prairie basin was formed when limestone dissolved and the ground settled. It is covered by marsh(沼泽)and wet prairie vegetation. There are areas of open water. During brief periods it has flooded enough to be considered a lake. Except for that, the basin has changed little through time.Man has lived on Paynes Prairie a very long time. He lived there as far back as 10000 B. C. At one time, the Seminoles lived there. The prairie is thought to have been named after King Payne, a Seminole chief. During the late 1600s, the largest cattle ranch in Florida was on Paynes Prairie. Today, Paynes Prairie is preserved land . It is occupied by visitors and Florida Park Service employees.Willam Bartram visited Paynes Praire. Bartram was the first person who portrayed (described)nature through personal experience as well as scientific observation. He lived 200 years ago. He visited Paynes Prairie in 1774. At that time he described it. He called Paynes Prairie the "great Alachua Savannah."Most of the animal life, which Bartram described, is still here. A large number of sandhill cranes, hawks and waterfowl are here in winter. The animal diversity is increased by the presence of pine flatwoods, hammock, swamps and ponds.The Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park is open year round. The Florida Park Service works hard so that the park will appear as it did in the past. It offers many opportunities for recreation. At the park you can camp and picnic. Y ou can hike and bike. Y ou can boat and fish. Y ou can ride on horse trails. And you can see lots of nature and wildlife. Y ou can see Florida as it was in the early days.Paynes Prairie is a part of our Florida history.

Online banks are sometimes referred to as “brick-to-click” banks, both to tell them from “brick-to-mortar” banks that haven’t yetoffered online banking, as well as from “virtual”(虚拟) banks that have no physical branches or tellers whatsoever.The challenge(挑战) for the banking industry has been to design this new service channel in such a way that its customers will readily learn to use and trust it. Most of the large banks can now offer fully safe,fully functional(功能的) online banking for free or for a small cost. As more banks succeed online and more customers use their sites, fully functional online banking will likely become as commonplace as automated teller machines (A TM).Online banking has a lot of advantages. Unlike you r corner bank, online banking sites never close; they’re at hand 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and they’re a mouse click away. If you’re out of state or even out of the country when a money problem appears, you can log on instantly to your online bank and take care of business. Online bank sites generally carry out and confirm(确认) deals at or quicker than A TM processing speeds. Many online banking sites now offer fashionable tools to help you manage all of your valuable items more effectively.13. The word “eliminate” in the first paragraph probably means “ ________ ”.A. keepB. removeC. reduceD. improve14. What is the challenge for the banking industry according to the text ?A. To make online banking attractive.B. To open new services all over the world.C. To offer online banking for free.D. To take care of business 24 hours a day.15. From the text we can conclude that ________ .A. “brick-to-click” banks are in fact another kind of physical banksB. the function of a “brick-to-click” bank is as common as that of an A TMC. a “ brick-to-mor tar” bank is no better than a virtual oneD. customers can deal with their banking by a mouse click16. What would be the best title for this text ?A. Banking of V arious FormsB. Improvement of Banking IndustryC. Development of Online BankingD. Functions of the “Brick-to-Click” BankEResearch shows that parents who reward self-control and independence mean to have children with high achievement motivation(动力). Such parents set high standards for their children but allow them to work at their own level and to make their own mistakes. However, parents of low need achievers just set impossibly high goals for their children and make extreme demands. In addition, parents of high need achievers encourage good performance but do not scold their children when they fail. If a child comes back from school with four A's and one B on a report card, the parents focus on the A's; parents of a low need achievers would ask, "Why the B?"; parents of high need achievers deal with grades with warmth and suggestions for reasonable goals and ways to reach them. Parents of low need achievers might say, "Y ou're dumb and lazy. Y ou will never achieve anything." And punish the child. When a child is having trouble with a math problem, the parent of a high need achiever will suggest the general procedure(过程) and let the child work on the particular solution; a low need achiever's parent will solve the problem and then hand the child the answer.17. Parents of high need achievers ________ .A. usually leave their children aloneB. set low standards for their childrenC. allow failure on the part of their childrenD. control their children to a least degree18. If a child gets good marks for some courses and lower marks for others, a parent of a high-need achiever will ______ .A. scold him for the lower marks and praise him for the goodB. praise him and give some suggestions for further improvementC. praise him for the good marks and reward himD. scold him for the lower marks and punish him19. When children are facing math problems, parents should give him general instructions rather than final result, because _______ .A. it is easier for the parentsB. the teachers may not. permit the latter solutionC. children may prefer itD. it will give the children a chance for doing something challenging20. The passage is mainly about the role of _______.A. reward in improving children's studyB. self-control and independence in child growthC. emotional reaction in bettering achievementD. praise in improving desired behavior答题框姓名:_________________ 班级:________________ 得分:________________ 题1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 号答案题1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 号答案错误数:完形:阅读:。
