（第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分）
第一节：阅读下列短文， 从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项， 并在答题卡上将该选项标号涂黑。
A
From good reading we can derive pleasure, companionship, experience, and instruction. A good book may absorb our attention so completely that for the time being we forget our surroundings and even our identity. Reading good books is one of the greatest pleasures in life. It increases our contentment when we are cheerful, and lessens our troubles when we are sad. Whatever may be our main purpose in reading, our contact with good books should never fail to give us enjoyment and satisfaction.
With a good book in our hands we need never be lonely. Whether the characters portrayed are taken from real life or are purely imaginary, they may become our companions and friends. In the pages of books we can walk with the wise and the good of all lands and all times. The people we meet in books may delight us either because they resemble human friends whom we hold dear or because they present unfamiliar types whom we are glad to welcome as new acquaintances. Our human friends sometimes may bore us, but the friends we make in books need never weary us with their company. By turning the page we can dismiss them without any fear of hurting their feelings. When human friends desert us, good books are always ready to give us friendship, sympathy, and encouragement. One of the most valuable gifts bestowed by books is experience. Few of us can travel far from home or have a wide range of experiences, but all of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books. Whether we wish to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life or whether we long to visit some far-off place, a book will help us when nothing else can. To travel by book we need no bank account to pay our way; no airship or ocean liner or stream-lined train to transport us; no passport to enter the land of our heart's desire. Through books we may get the thrill of hazardous adventure without danger. We can climb lofty mountains, brave the perils of an Antarctic winter, or cross the scorching sands of the desert, all without hardship. In books we may visit the studios of Hollywood; we may mingle with the gay throngs of the Paris boulevards; we may join the picturesque peasants in an Alpine village or the kindly natives on a South Sea island. Indeed, through books the whole world is ours for the asking. The possibilities of our literary experiences are almost unlimited. The beauties of nature, the enjoyment of music, the treasures of art, the triumphs of architecture, the marvels of engineering, are all open to the wonder and enjoyment of those who read.
41. Why is it that we sometimes forget our surroundings and even our identity while reading?
A. No one has come to disturb you.
B. Everything is so quiet and calm around you.
C. The book you are reading is so interesting and attractive. D. Your book is overdue; you are finishing it at a very fast speed.
42. How would you account for the fact that people like their acquaintances in books even more?
A. They resemble human friends exactly.
B. They are unfamiliar types we like.

C. They never desert us. D. They never hurt our feelings.
43. Which of the following is true?
A. Your wish to visit some far-off place can be realized through the pages of the books. B. To escape from the dull realities of everyday life you should take up reading. C. Books can always help you to live a colorful life.
D. You may obtain valuable experience from reading good books. 44. The word “weary” means ______. A. “to attract someone’s attention” C. “to make someone very tired”
B. “to distract someone’s attention” D. “to make someone interested”
45. “... the whole world is ours for the asking” implies that ____________. A. in books the world is more accessible to us B. we can ask to go anywhere in the world C. we can make a claim to everything in this world D. we can make a round-the-world trip free of charge
B
Have you ever picked a job based on the fact that you were good at it but later found it made you feel very uncomfortable over time? When you select your career, there's a whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position. If you ignore your personality, it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the job's pay. There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job. Here are a few of those main areas;
1) Do you prefer working alone or with other people? There are isolating（使孤立）jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy. Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer. There are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two, which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation.
2) How do you handle change?
Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them, but some are more than others. If you need stability in your life, you may need a job where the changes don't happen so often. Other people would be bored of the same daily routine.
3) Do you enjoy working with computers？
I do see this as a kind of personality characteristic. There are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer, while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day. Again, these are extremes and you'll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.
4) What type of work environment do you enjoy？
This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you won't know immediately to a smaller setting where you'll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly.
5) How do you like to get paid?
Some people are motivated by the pay they get, while others feel too stressed to be like that. The variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this.
Anyway, these are a great starting point for you. I've seen it over and over again with people

that they make more money over time when they do something they love. It may take you a little longer, but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.
46. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Isolating jobs usually drive people mad. B. Interactive jobs make people shy easily. C. Extreme people tend to work with others. D. Almost everyone has a tendency in jobs.
47. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph one mean?
A. Before you select your job, you should assess your skills and match them with your
position
B. There are more important things than assessing skills and match them with the position
when you select job.
C. Nothing is important than assessing skills and match them with the position when you
select job.
D You should ignore your skills when you select job.
48. What is the missing word about a job search in the following chart?
A. Design. B. Changes. C. Cooperation. D. Hobbies.
skills Stability
? Jobs Environment Motivation
49.What is the best title for this passage? A. Lifestyles and Job Pay B. Jobs and Environment C. Job Skills and Abilities D. Personalities and Jobs
C
Jack London had endured more hardships by the age of twenty-one than most people experience in a lifetime. His struggles developed in him sympathy for the working class and a lasting dislike of hard work and provided inspiration for his career as a writer.
London grew up in San Francisco in extreme poverty. At an early age, he left school and supported himself through a succession of un skilled jobs ----working as a paper boy, in bowling alleys, on ice wagons, and in canneries（罐头食品厂） and mills. Despite working long hours at these jobs, London was able to read constantly, borrowing travel and adventure books from the library.
The books London read inspired him to travel, and his job experiences led him to become active in fighting for the fights of workers. He sailed to Japan on a journey aiming at catching seals and joined a cross-country protest march with a group of unemployed workers. After being arrested for vagrancy near Buffalo, New York, London decided to educate himself and reshape his life. He quickly completed high school and entered the University of California.
After only one term, however, the appeal of fortune and adventure proved uncontrollable. London gave up his studies and traveled to the Alaskan Yukon in 1897 in search of gold. Jack

London was among the first of these miners. He may have searched for more than gold, however. London once commented, “ True, the new region was mostly poor; but its several hundred thousand square miles of coldness at least gave breathing space to those who else would have choked at home.” Although he was unsuccessful as a miner, London’s experiences in Alaska taught him about the human desire for wealth and power and about humankind’s inability to control the forces of nature. While in Alaska, London also absorbed memories and stories that would make him known one hundred years later.
Once back in California, London became determined to earn a living as a writer. He rented a typewriter and worked up to fifteen hours a day, spinning his Alaskan adventures into short stories and novels.
According to legend, London’s piles of rejection slips from publishers grew to five feet in height!
Even so, London preserved. In 1903, he earned national fame when he published the popular novel The Call of the Wild. He soon became the highest paid and most industrious writer in the country. During his career, he produced more than fifty books and earned more than a million dollars. Several of his novels, including The Call of the Wild(1903),the Sea-Wolf(1904),the White Fang(1906),have become American classics. In fact, he was a creative writer whose fiction explored several regions and their cultures: the Yukon, California, Hawaii, and the Solomon Islands. He experimented with many literary forms, from traditional love stories and dystopias（反面乌托邦小说）to science fantasy. His noted journalism included war communication, boxing stories, and the life of Molokai lepers（麻风病患者）. He was among the most influential figures of his day, who understood how to create a public persona and use the media to market his self-created image of poor-boy-turned-success. London's great passion was agriculture, and he was well on the way of creating a new model for spreading through his Beauty Ranch when he died of kidney disease at age 40. He left over fifty books of novels, stories, journalism, and essays, many of which have been translated and continue to be read around the world. His best works describe a person’s struggle for survival against the powerful forces of nature. “To Build a Fire”, for example, tells the story of a man’s fight to survive the harsh cold of the Alaskan winter. 50._________made Jack London reconsider his life in the future. A. His job experience B. The books he read C. Being arrested D. Long-hour work 51. What is TRUE about Jack London? A. Jack London was poor all his life. B. Jack London got enough money while in the search of gold. C. The books Jack London read inspired him to travel and become active.
D. The experience of gold searching made Jack London determined to write novels about
Alaska adventures.
52. After the experience in Alaska, Jack London ________________. A. realized the nature of human beings. B. knew people could control the nature finally. C. regretted being there. D.thought highly of himself.
53. In paragraph 4, the sentence “True, the new region was mostly poor; but its several
hundred thousand square miles of coldness at least gave breathing space to those who

else would have choked at home.” implies_______________________________. A. Jack London regarded Alaska a poor place as he never got any gold there. B. people would have been ill at home if they had never been Alaska. C. People searching for gold there still have chance to win. D. Alaska was a poor but large region.
54. Which one of following works doesn’t belong to Jack London according to the passage? A. love stories B. poetry C. journalism D. essays 55. What can we learn from Jack London’s final success? A. Failure is the mother of success. B. Practice makes perfect. C. Knowledge is powerful. D. All of above.

If your preschoolers turn up their noses at carrots or celery, a small reward like a sticker for taking even a taste may help get them to eat previously disliked foods, a UK study said. Though it might seem obvious that a reward could encourage young children to eat their vegetables, the idea is actually controversial, researchers wrote in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. That’s because some studies have shown that rewards can backfire and cause children to lose interest in foods they already liked, said Jane Wardle, a researcher at University College London who worked on the study. Verbal praise, such as “Brilliant! You’re a great vegetable taster,” did not work as well. The study found t hat when parents gave their small children a sticker each time they took a “tiny taste” of a disliked vegetable, it gradually changed their attitudes. The children were also willing to eat more of the vegetables-either carrots, celery, cucumber, red pepper, cabbage or sugar snap peas-in laboratory taste tests, the study said.
Researchers randomly assigned（分派）173 families to one of these groups. In one, parents used stickers to reward their children each time they took a tiny sample of a disliked vegetable. A second group of parents used verbal praise. The third group, where parents used no special vegetable-promoting methods, served as a “control”.
Parents in the reward groups offered their children a taste of the “target” vegetable every day of 12 days, Soon after, children in the sticker group were giving higher ratings to the vegetables-and were willing to eat more in the research lab, going from an average of 5 grams at the start to about 10 grams after the 12-day experience. The turnaround also seemed to last, with preschoolers in the sticker group still willing to eat more of the once disliked vegetable three months later.
Why didn’t the verbal praise work? Wardle said the parents’ words may have seemed “insincere” to their children.
56．The purpose of writing the passage is .
A．to introduce a practical method of making children eat vegetables B．to show the procedure of an experiment on children’s diet C．to explain why children hate to eat vegetables D．to present a proper way of vernal praise to parents
57．The underlined word “backfire” in Paragraph 2 probably means “ ”.
A．shoot from behind the back B．make a lire in the hackyard

C．produce an unexpected result D．achieve what was planned 58．According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A．Most children are born to dislike carrots or celery.
B．It remains a question whether rewarding is a good way to get children to eat vegetables. C．Oral praise wokrs quite well in encouraging children to eat vegetables. D．Children in the sticker group will never lose interest in eating vegetables. 59．How did the researchers get their conclusion from the experiment?
A．By comparison. B．By asking questions. C．By giving examples, D．By discussion. 60．What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．Children like rewards, not verbal praise.
B．Parents should praise their children in a sincere tone. C．Children are difficult to inspire.
D．Parents should give up verbal praise.

A car is a symbol of modern society. It makes our life more comfortable. It’s also very cool and fashionable, and attracts much attention. But every coin has two sides. Cars make the air polluted and careless driving causes traffic problems. Every year many people die in road accidents.
I am a car fan. I think I will buy an environmentally friendly car in the future, for that doesn’t create pollution. I believe more and more people will buy cars, although there are side effects. So the government should take measures to smooth the traffic, such as widening the roads and building overpasses. I still suggest people use public transport during rush hours.
