AI recently got pulled over for speeding not far from my new home in Virginia. I hadn’t been paying attention, and I had driven a few miles an hour over the speed limit.“Can I see your license and registration?” the police officer asked me. I pulled both out for him, and he saw my Pittsburgh address on my Pennsylvania driver’s license.“What are you doing here?” he asked. “Are you with the army?”“No, I’m not.” I answered. I explained that I had just moved to Virginia, and I hadn’t had time to re-register yet.“So what brings you here?”He had asked a direct question. Without thinking very hard, I gave him a direct answer. “Well, officer,” I said, “Since you’ve asked, I have cancer. I have just months to live. We’ve moved down here to be close to my wife’s family.”“So you’ve got cancer,” he said flatly. He was trying to figure me out. Was I really dying? Was I lying? He took a long look at me. “You know, for a guy who has only a few months to live, you sure look good.”He was obviously thinking: “Either this guy is pulling one big fat line on me, or he’s telling the truth.” He was trying to question my honesty without directly calling me a liar. And so he had forced me to prove that I was being honest.“Well, officer, I know that I look pretty healthy. I look great on the outside, but the tumors（肿块）are on the inside.” And then, I don’t know what possessed me, but I just did it. I pulled up my shirt, showing the operational scars.He looked at my scars. He looked in my eyes. He now knew he was talking to adying man. Well, he wasn’t taking this any further. He handed me back my license. “Do me a favor.” he said, “Slow down from now on.”The awful truth had set me free. As he went back to his police car, I had a realization. I had been one of those gorgeous blondes (金发美女) who could bat her eyelashes and get out of tickets. I drove home under the speed limit, and I was smiling like a beauty queen.1.

Before he left, he said to his son, "if anyone asks for me, you can tell him that your father has been out for doing something, and will be back in a week, then be sure to ask him to sit down for a cup of tea.""OK, Dad," said hi s son. But he was afraid his son couldn't remember this, he wrote these words down on a piece of paper and gave it to him. His son put it into his small pocket, took it out and looked at it every now and then. Four days passed, but no one came to see his father. The boy thought that there was no man to come and that the piece of paper was of no more use for him, so he burnt it that evening.The next afternoon, someone knocked at the door. The boy opened it. A man wasstanding at the door and said, "Where is your father?" The boy put his hand into his pocket at once and looked for the piece of paper. He could not find it.

The boyCBefore your child’s final exam and the graduation announcements, you face a significant task together: choosing the right college or university. There is no “one size fits all”approach to selecting a college—it’s a very personal process for most teenagers. Consider a wide rang of factors to help your child make the best possible choice.Discuss with your child his post-high school choices, such as going to college, finding work or starting a business, or joining the army. If you determine together that college is the best choice for your child, talk about the importance of college, and his long-term goals by going to college.Talk to your child about what he thinks is important in a college experience and share your opinions as well. Identify the issues that will directly impact his college choice, such as his grades, test scores and family finances. Then make a list of the key criteria for his dream school, including factors such as the school’s location, its size,the type of program, the after-school activities available and the type of financial aid available.Prioritize the item: on your child’s list, at least to the extent of sorting it into “must-haves”, “highly desirable” and “nice-to-have” categories. Put these factors into an online search engine specifically designed to identify colleges and universities that best meet your criteria, such as that offered by CollegeBoard. org. Start with the most important criteria, then experiment with additional factors to narrow the search results to a number you can work with, such as 10 or 20 different schools.Use the search results as a guide to further focus your college search. Research each school by reviewing its website, requesting information directly from the school and attending local presentations about the school.8. The underlined word “prioritize” in paragraph 4 probably means “__________”.A. list in order of importanceB. write downC. add toD. do research into9. What can we learn from the passage?A. It’s better to decide the college for your child.B. It’s necessary to take your child’s opinion into consideration.C. There is a “one size fits all” way to select a college.D. An online search engine is of great help to you.10. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage?A. To argue.B. To persuadeC. To introduceD. To amuse11. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?A．① B. ① C. ① D. ①②②③②③④③④④⑤⑤⑤②③④⑤DFor centuries, the body’s blood has been linked closely with the emotions. People who show no human emotions or feelings, are said to be cold-blooded killer. For example, the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer. He seems to kill for no reason, and no emotion, as if taking someone’s life as nothing.Cold can affect other parts of the body. The expression “get cold feet” has nothing to do with cold or your feet. The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do. For example, you agree to be president of an organization. But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned, and all the work of the organization will be your responsibility. You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation.The expression “give someone the cold shoulder” probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face to face. You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you. Or, to someone who has lied about you to others.A cold fish is not a f ish. It is a person. But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone. Someone who is a cold fish could be cold-hearted. Now a cold-hearted person is someone who has no sympathy (同情心). Several popular songs in recent years were about cold-hearted men or cold-hearted women who, without feelings, broke the hearts of their lovers.Out in the cold means not getting something that everybody else gets. A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise—he was left out in the cold. And it is not a pleasant place to be.12. When you refuse to speak to a man and treat him in a distant way, you may express by “_______”.A. I think he is a cold fishB. I give him the co ld shoulderC. I think he is a cold-blooded manD. I’m likely to get cold feet13.If Sue shows absolutely no reaction to those awful pictures of starving children inAfrica, you will say __________.A. she is a cold fishB. she is out in the coldC. she is a cold-blooded killerD. she gets cold feet14.We can use the expression “_______” to describe a man who abandons or hurts hislover without mercy.A. cold feetB. cold shoulderC. cold-heartedD. cold-blooded15. The topic of this passage is about __________.A. some expressions about friendshipB. how cold weather comes into beingC. some expressions connected with coldD. the relationship between cold and our body第二节（共5小题; 每小题2分，满分10分）阅读短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

I had thirty students. These were teens and adults up to the age of 40. We learned new steps togeth er. We laughed together and we shared a love of music and f ellowship.I had one pupil, Dan, who didn’t appear to get much out of the class. I never had eye contact with him. When I left the class to travel down the stairs to reach the main floor of the building , he moved worriedly as a blind person might do in unfamiliar condition.One day his parents met me shopping downtown and told me that they were so grateful that I was teaching the class. They said that my class was the high point of their son’s week. Wer e they just being polite?A week later, a snowstorm held me up and I was later than us ual pulling into the school parking lot. Ahead of me by one ro w of cars, and over to one side, was my student, Dan and his worker. I could see his face as he moved toward the building. He was excited. I watched Dan run toward the building in anti cipation of（期待着）his weekly treat, my class. I cried as it hit me that though I could not see in class all that Dan got from the class, it surely me ant a lot to him. Dan did indeed love the class. He was getting enjoyment out of it.Today when I teach courses at the College to students, I remi nd them that children can stand on the sidelines and seem to be uninterested and yet they can be learning at the same pac e as those who are in the middle of the activity. When I teach this, I think, yes and this is true for those with disabilities too! Teach with the wonderful enthusiasm and you are bound to re ach your students. Do your job with a love for others and you will be successful no matter what your job involves.25．The writer found her working with disabilities _______.

The writer was impatient with Dan at first.28．What may be the best title for the passage?A. A student with disabilityB. Learning with DanC. Enjoying a lesson with childrenD. Sharing love with studentsCIf you want to express something so unbelievable that it must have been a special effect, you have a new word to add to yo ur vocabulary.It’s“Duang”, an onomatopoetic (拟声词) word which doesn’t relate to any particular Chinese chara cter and refers to a special effect.A video parody (恶搞) adapted from a shampoo commercial featuring Hong Kong actor Jackie Chan spread quickly online, leading Internet us ers to invent the new word.The video begins with Chan flashing his black, smooth hair, w hich would have been perfect except that it was not his real h air.Next, a self-satisfied Chan admits, to the repetitive, rhythmical sounds of “Duang”,“I refused to approve of this product when they first c ame to me because of my thin hair, but the director insisted, s aying special effects could be used to make my hair look healt hy on the screen. Now you see, it’s all special effects. It’s not real.”The original advertisement became the target of punishment by the go vernment for over-spreading the effects of the shampoo after it was broadcast in 2004.“Duang” has now become one of the hottest topics on Sina W eibo, a Twitter-like Chinese social network site among those crazy ones imita ting Jackie Chan’s speech in different situations.The actor’s Weibo account was flooded with comments contai ning the word in this sweeping online trend.The video came at a time when the famous movie star has be en under public attention after trying to save the ill image of hi s son, Jaycee Chan, who was released from prison this week. Data from Baidu, the major Chinese search engine, also prov ed the phrase’s popularity as it has been searched more than 586,000 times within two days.The word of geili’s sudden rise in 2010 caught the attention of international media when it made up for the word’s official tra nslation－geilivable－to describe something cool or awesome.It’s not the first time that online word has become a regular vo cabulary in China.29．From the passage we know that the word “Duang” was o riginally made .A. by some crazy Internet usersB. to refer to a kind of productC. by Hong Kong actor Jackie ChanD. to express some special meaning30．From the passage we know that the new word “geili” is .A. only popular in ChinaB. a cool and awesome wordC. used by ordinary peopleD. also widely used abroad31．What is the purpose of the author in writing the passage?A. To tell us online words have enriched Chinese vocabulary.B. To teach all the Internet users how to invent new words.C. To explain how Jackie Chan invented the popular word.D. To urge people to fight against the false advertisements.DDennis Sinar, 51, a doctor from New York, is quick to explai n why he took a year-long break from his job. “I was pretty burned out after practicin g medicine for 26 years. I needed a recharge.” So he took a “gap year”, from July 2011 to June 2012, to explore things like ancient buildings, and traditional Eastern medicine, in location s including Alaska, Nepal and Romania.“Taking a break from work is an excellent way for adults to go into a new career or refresh an old one,” said Holly Bull, president of Princeton, N, J. “In recent years, mid-career breaks have been gaining more interest,” she said. A r eport on adult gap years published this year by a market rese arch company also described the potential American market f or gap years as a “sleeping giant.”“A gap year is a challenge for the older individual to step out o f a comfort zone and take a risk. I enjoyed that side most.” sai d Dr. Sinar, who kept a daily blog about his experience. His ti me studying Eastern medicine “assured the reasons I went int o health care,” said Dr. Sinar, who returned to practice medici ne at his old job, although he works fewer days. “I use those e xperiences to provide my patients with more care,” he added. “And I listen better than I did before.”George Garritan, chairman of the Department of Leadership a nd Human Capital Management at New York University, certa inly agrees with Dr. Sinar. He said a gap-year experience could be worthwhile for employees and comp anies. For employees, investing in themselvesand improving skill sets is a move that will benefit throughout their career. He added that returning employees feel refreshe d and have given more thought to their career. For companies , offering unpaid leaves makes good sense for attracting and keeping talented employees.32．Dr. Sinar took a gap year because he ______.A. had lost his old jobB. wanted to refresh after 26 years’ workC. had a desire for travellingD. became interested in historical research33．The phrase “sleeping giant” (in 2nd paragraph) indicates that ______.A. it’s too early for people to accept the concept of gap yearB. the effect of gap year policy remains to be seenC. it’s difficult to foresee the gap year marketD. more American people will accept the gap year policy 34．What’s George Garritan’s attitude toward the “gap year”?A.
