A

I've always felt a need to be prepared for whatever the situation I've found myself in.

My mother once took me to a store when I was seven years old.She and I got to the checkout counter，and she realized she had forgotten a couple of things on her shopping list.She left me with the cart and ran off to get what she needed.“I'll be right back，” she said.She was gone just a few minutes，but in that time，I had loaded all the things on the belt and everything was rung up.I was left staring at the cashier，who was staring at me.“Do you have money for me，son？” she said.“I'll need to be paid.” I didn't realize she was just trying to amuse herself.So I stood there，ashamed and embarrassed.By the time my mom returned，I was angry.“You left me here with no money! This lady asked me for the money，and I had nothing to give her！”

Now that I'm an adult，you'll never catch me with less than $ 200 in my wallet.I want to be prepared in case I need it.I've always admired people who are well－prepared.In college，I had a classmate named Norman.One day he was giving a presentation on an overhead projector (投影仪) and in the middle of his talk，the light bulb on the projector blew out.We would have to wait ten minutes until someone found a new projector.“It's OK，” he announced.“There's nothing to worry about.” We watched him walk over to his bag and pull something out.He had brought along a

[答案] C

B

You wake up in the morning，the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time.Then the telephone rings，you say hello，and the drama starts.The person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to.You are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible!

Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness. It may not change what you think, but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time.

Life brings ups and downs，but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer.They only feel glad when they make others feel bad.No wonder they can hardly win others' pity or respect.

When you communicate with positive people，your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted.When the dagger (匕首) of a negative person is put in you，you feel the heavy feeling that all in all，brings you down.

Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people.This could be a co－worker，or a relative.In this case，say what needs to be said as little as possible.Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person，but all this is to lower you to that same negative level and they won't feel ashamed of themselves about that.

Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized.The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to (附着) you throughout the rest of your day，which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness.Life is too short to feel negative.Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible.

A beautiful island off the Welsh coast is offering a dream job—if you are happy to stay on an isolated nature reserve.

The 1.5 mile－long island was a Christian pilgrimage site in the Middle Ages when three visits to Bardsey were said to equal one to Rome.It was owned by Lord Newborough until 1979.

Anyone keen to apply for the job will enjoy views across the Irish Sea from their two－bedroom cottages and a salary of ￡16,000.Caroline Williams，from the Bardsey Island Trust，said：“This is a unique opportunity to work on a remote and beautiful island.There are actually two parts of the job.For six months of the year over the spring and summer，the role is about looking after the visitors who come to the island and the cottages.Then for the other six months，the role changes and it is more isolated，and the job is about keeping up the maintenance.”

Ms.Williams added：“It is a challenging role but also a wonderful opportunity，and they will enjoy some of the best views in Wales from their cottages.This job could be taken by an individual，a couple or a family.”

语篇解读：一个泥瓦匠在美国堪萨斯州的一所大学的体育场维修墙壁时，发现了一张写于1928年的纸条，这使我们对那时工人的生活状况有所了解。

61．[解析] 空格后的中心词为名词note，为单数形式，故此处应填冠词，又因为数字88的发音是以元音音素开头的，所以应用an。

[答案] an

62．[解析] 本句在连词while之后，填现在分词replacing，此处是省略，将其补全应为while he was replacing stones。

[答案] replacing

63．[解析] 根据句中的时间状语“on Feb.2,1928”可知，本句应用一般过去时，因此填write的过去式wrote。

[答案] wrote

．[解析] 五个泥瓦匠写了这张纸条。他们希望将来在他们死后，这张纸条被人们发现。根据语境可知此处表示伴随，故用动词－ing形式。

[答案] hoping

65．[解析] 本句跟在名词hope之后，解释了它的内容，从句中不缺少句子成分，因此填连接词that。

[答案] that

66．[解析] 本空中两个动名词cleaning和covering并列。本空在动名词之前，因此应填形容词protective“防护的，保护的”。

[答案] protective

67．[解析] 根据语境可知，本空应填动词不定式to display作定语，表示展示这一纸条的计划。

[答案] to display

68．[解析] 本空在情态动词之后，实义动词之前，应填副词possibly“可能”，作状语。

[答案] possibly

69．[解析] 句中的either暗示前后两个句子之间为选择关系，因此填连词or。either...or...“或者……或者……”。

[答案] or

70．[解析] 根据句中的时间状语in 1922可知，本句应用一般过去时。the stadium和build之间为动宾关系，故应用被动语态。

[答案] was built

我国人口不断增长，而耕地面积在日益减少，耕地面积只占全国土地总面积的10%左右；更为糟糕的是，建工厂、修公路和铁路，以及建设房屋等占用了大量耕地。呼吁大家节约用地，充分利用土地，以及保护现有的耕地资源。

[答案]

Save Our Limited Farmland

It's a well－known fact that the population of our country is growing rapidly while farmland is being lost day by day.According to the latest statistics，land suitable for farming only makes up about 10% of the total land in our country.Worse still，building factories，roads，railways and houses use up a lot of land，especially farmland.

We now here call on all people to save and protect our farmland. Remember once our farmland is gone，it will be impossible to get it back.
