Like most families living there, we stayed in a two-bedroom suite. We were living from paycheck to paycheck, so when Christmas approached, we didnt know if we would be able to purchase gifts for our children.A few days before Christmas someone dropped off presents for all the kids that lived at the motel. It brought so much joy to all the children, most of whom knew that they wouldnt be receiving anything.Five years ago, we moved out of the motel. After that, my husband and I were working hard at Joes Crab Shack to support our family. A few days before Christmas. I was working a big top and a single table. The man at my table could see the large tables was taking most of my time, but I was very patient and friendly. Between drinks and food I was able to chat with him about his family and mine. He left me $ 10, then walked out. About 10 minutes later, I turned around and there he was again. He gave me a hug, and put something inside my apron, telling me Have a Merry Christmas. I reached into my apron and pulled out $ 800.I was so overwhelmed by his generosity that I burst into tears. He had given me more than enough money to help my family catch up on our bills. After discussing what we should do with the money we had left over. We decided to buy presents for the families living at the motel, so we could pass on the blessing that we had received. Since then, it has been a tradition for us to give Christmas gifts to the families in need.Last year we were able to give presents to each of the 80 children at a school in our community, and throw a Christmas party for them. This year our goal is to add at least 20 children.24. What does the underlined part imply? A. They paid for checks non-stop. B. They might struggle financially.C. They were in heavy debt. D.

She donated all the money to her community.27. The author wrote the article to _A . share her own experienceB. stress the importance of loveC. call on readers to do good deeds D. express her gratitude to a strangerCAs graduation draws near, those who havent landed a job yet may be desperate to find one. Perhaps some of the job offers they have received are below their skill and experience levels. Is it better to take these offers, or reject them and remain unemployed?Recently, David Pedulla, a University of Texas sociologist, conducted a study about how taking a job below your skill level could affect your future employment. In the study, Pedulla developed resumes for imaginary job applicants. The job seekers he created had a few things in common. They had a college degree, worked nearly two years at their first job, and about 4.5 years at their second job. What differed was their third job in the most recent year. They either had a full-time job that matched their skills, a part-time job below their skill levels, or were unemployed.Then Pedulla submitted 2,420 resumes based on his imaginary job seekers, along with cover letters, to online ads for 1,210 real jobs. Each applicant had a real phone number that employers could contact if they were interested in talking with the applicant further.The callback rates varied widely based on how the imaginary job seekers had spent their last year. The applicants who had full-time jobs the previous year were called back 10.4 percent of the time. Those whose most recent year of employment was in a job below their skill levels were only called back about 5 percent. Male applicants unemployed for a year were called back 4.2 percent of the time, while the figure is 7.5 percent for unemployed females.However, Pedulla cautioned that the experiment only measured the initial interest of employers in his fictional job candidates, not whether the employers would hire them or what they would be paid based on their most recent job experiences. 28. The purpose of the first paragraph is _ . A. to introduce the topic B. to present an argumentC. to shock the reader D. to describe the present situation in job seeking29. Which statement is NOT true about Pedullas experiment?A. The applicants had some things in common at their first two jobs.B. The applicants resumes and phone numbers are created by Pedulla.C. The applicants most recent job experiences affected the callback rates.D. Unemployed female applicants got a higher callback rate than males.30. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The applicants with a high callback rate would surely be hired.B. The applicants most recent job experiences would decide their salaries.C. There are some limits about what lessons can be taken from the study.D. It is better to take a job offer below ones skill level than to reject it.31. In which section may the text appear in a newspaper?A. Career B. Science C. Culture D. EducationD Taking a shower is relaxingYou can hum a song, daydream or think about nothing, leaving the real world behind youBut did you know that showering can also benefit your mind? A research by Scott Barry Kaufman, a psychologist from Yale University in the US interviewed over 3,000 people around the worldIt turned out that nearly two-thirds of the interviewees said they had experienced new ideas in the shower and were more likely to have them in the shower than at work So why does a simple shower have such magic power? Science can explain it Showering can help to raise our level of dopamine, a hormone (荷尔蒙) closely related to our creativity“People vary in terms of their level of creativity according to the activity of dopamine”, explained Alice Flaherty, a famous American neuroscientist“Taking a warm shower can make us feel relaxed and therefore make the dopamine level rise and bring Aha! moment to us” Besides the chemical changes, showering may give you a break from what you feel you have been stuck withEspecially when you have thought hard all day about a problem, jumping into the shower can keep you from the outside world so that you can focus on your inner feelings and memoriesIn this way, according to American psychologist Shelley HCarson, author of Your Creative Brain, “a showering hour may turn into an incubation (孵化) period for your ideas” Compared with sitting in front of a computer, taking a shower is something we do less frequently in our daily lifeWhen showering, we get a fresh experience with the change of location, temperature and humidity“New and unexpected experiences can lead to positive changes in thinking,” explained Kaufman“Getting off the couch and jumping in the shower may create a distance and force you to think from a new point of view” Showering allows us to enjoy the creative juices of our minds, but it neednt just be the bathroom where you get your inspirationFor instance, Gertrude Stein, a female American writer and poet, got new ideas by driving around a farm and stopping at different cows until she found the one that most inspired herSo try to create your own way to free your mind, whether its a walk near the ocean, a country drive or reading a book at home32According to the article, what changes can showering cause? ABringing the terrible moment to us BIncreasing the level of dopamine CLeading to boredom or tiredness DSetting the creative part of the brain free33If one has focused on something all day, showering can help _ Aturn ones attention inwards Bdraw ones attention to the outside world Cone make an important breakthrough Dmany chemical changes to take place34It can be inferred from the article that _ Achanges in the frequency of an action can create a new perspective Bit is a good idea to talk with others about their sources of inspiration Cour lives might feel longer and fuller if we frequently try new things Dit is helpful to try something different rather than stay focused on a difficult task35The example of Gertrude Stein in the last paragraph is used to _ Aencourage readers to find their own ways of getting inspiration Bpoint out to readers that its hard to find inspiration Cexplain how to link inspiration with readers daily lives Dshow that creativity often comes from strange places第二节 七选五（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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。How do actors and actresses memorize hundreds of lines? Memorizing lines takes practice and constant repetition. However, 36 Read lines loud and repeat themFor most performers, there is no quicker way of memorizing lines. To learn lines, an actor must recite the play loud over and over again. Most rehearsals(彩排) encourage this by running through the lines or having a read through. By the time opening night arrives, most actors have spoken their lines hundreds of times.Listen to your cast members.Sometimes inexperienced actors spend rehearsals looking at fellow performers, waiting patiently to say their next line. 37 This will help the actor learn his lines better because the context of the dialogue is absorbed. 38 Because there is often not enough rehearsal time, many performers find ways to listen to the plays dialogue during everyday activities. They use a tape recorder or an MP3 player to listen to the lines from each relevant scene. Some actors prefer to record the lines of all the characters, including their own. 39 Others like recording the lines of fellow cast members, and they leave a blank space so that they can insert their dialogue while listening to the recording.Think positively and dont panic.Most actors will experience stage fright before the opening night. Actors forget lines now and then. When it happens, however, most of the time the audience never notice. If you forget a line in the middle of your performance, dont freeze. Stay in character. Keep the scene going to the best of your ability. If unfortunately you forget a line once, you will probably never forget that line ever again. 40 A. Record your lines.B. Practice makes perfect.C. there are a few ways to make it run smoothly and quickly.D. Read lines loud and remember them in a short time.E. Sometimes embarrassment is the toughest method of memorization.F. Then, they not only listen carefully, but they also speak all of the lines.G. Instead, they should be listening carefully, responding in character at all times.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每题1.5分, 满分30分） A grandson of slaves was born in a poor neighborhood of New Orleans known as the “Back of Town”.
