A news report.BRhubarb loved everyone and every dog. Whenever someone came to the house, she was always happy. We had an older Samoyed named Willie, and it was important that Rhubarb got along well with him. She wanted to play, but was very respectful of Willie and left him alone when he was tired and needed to rest. Willie was not well and died about a year later, but I believe Rhubarbs interaction helped him keep going for longer than if he had been alone.But the interesting thing about Rhubarb was that she never barked. She would sometimes get excited when she saw a mouse and make a little crying sound. One hot night when she was about 4 years old, we went to bed with the windows open and the doors unlocked. At about 3 a.m., I woke up to the sound of Rhubarb barking and growling. I woke Donald and we got out of bed.Rhubarb was coming toward us with her hackles(颈背毛) up. We turned on the lights and noticed the door to the kitchen was open. Then we saw the door leading into the house from the garage was also open. We quickly locked all the doors, and we did not get any sleep that night.The next day I called the police to report a break-in. I told them nothing had been taken, but they sent a police officer over to talk with us anyway. While he was here, we found out several local homes had been burglarized over the weekend. Most people had their wallets and purses stolen.My purse was right next to the door, but Rhubarb had scared the robber away before he or she could steal it. When the police officer left, he said we should keep our doors locked and reward Rhubarb with a big steak dinner.Rhubarb lived to be almost 12, but that night was the only time she barked in her entire life. Fortunately, she never saw the need to warn us of any other danger. We loved her like a member of the family and still miss our sweet dog.24What can we learn from the first paragraph?A.Willie was good at communicating. B.Rhubarb and Willie fought at times.C.Rhubarb helped Willie live longer. D.Willie was alone before his death.25Why did Rhubarb bark on a hot night?A.She got scared.

C.Gentle but clumsy. D.Brave and flexible.27What made the author feel fortunate?A.Rhubarb scared the robber away.B.She had such a family member as Rhubarb.C.Rhubarb barked once in her entire life.D.There was no need for Rhubarb to bark. CAn older friend once gave me a piece of advice，“Enjoy the last few weeks of college，” she said，“since college is the best time of your life.”This was not the first time Id heard such a statement，but with graduation fast coming close，her words especially struck me.It seemed a bit disappointing to reach ones life peak at only 22 years of age，but in her opinion，college had been one of the best times in my life so far.I made friends，took classes，and learned a great deal about myself.But I was also excited for the time after collegemoving to a new city，starting a new job，and becoming a “real” person.I hoped that my great dreams were practical.Then，last week I read a column in Real Simple Magazine called 100 Years of Attitude，in which women 100 years or older shared their life experiences and views.I noticed that none of them considered college as the “best” time of their life.Not all of them went to college，but still in most cases their teens and twenties were not the best times of their life.They said some of their favorite times were raising their children，traveling after retirement，and even enjoying their present time and age.Enjoying ones present time and age was a clear theme of the interviews.A piece of advice given by the women was about the importance of making the best of all situations.I think it more accurate than that of my friend.I can say with certainty that if I am lucky enough to make it to 100.I refuse to spend the last 80 years of my life plummeting(跌落) downhill，or even leveling off.I am sure that our eagerness and devotion will make us college students live a meaningful life.We will not just look backwards or miss our college days.We will look forward in excitement about continued journey uphill.28Which of the following opinions does the writer agree with?ACollege is the best time of ones life.BTwenties were the best time of the old people.COne should make the best of all situations.DOne should not look backwards at their college time.29In the second paragraph，the writer wants to say_.Aher achievements in college would be the peak of her successBshe is looking forward to living as a “real” person in collegeCshe becomes more and more uneasy with graduationDshe is satisfied with the college life but is hopeful for the future30The column the writer read is mainly about those old womens_Abest time of life at youth Blife experiences and viewsCdifferent opinions about life Dfavorite time with best friends31Which of the following words can be used to describe the writer?AAmbitious.BPractical CImaginative. DProud. D “Stop making excuses for him，Mom，”I said.“But maybe he is feeling unwell.” Mom said.“Maybe nothing，” I interrupted.I had been tending Mom since her health began to decline and this would be the first time in a year that my husband and I had a night out together.Jerry had promised to stay with Mom.But again he let us down.And more often than not，his drinking had a lot to do with it.His irresponsibility upset me. I remembered our happy growingup years in a small town in West Virginia.With good family education，Jerry had been a kind kid.He was only 15 when Dad died.Unlike him，I got over the sorrow soon，but he started drinking.Soon he began hanging out with bad guys.Jerry and I didnt see each other often，but we talked on the phone.Usually，though，we ended up fighting.When Mom came to live with us，Jerry dropped in regularly at first，but after a while his visits became sporadic.He explained he couldnt handle seeing Mom in such a bad condition.Another excuse，I thought. One day I went to see the doctor about my back.It had been aching for months.“I cant find anything wrong with you physically，”the doctor said.“But I can tell youre very tense.Is something bothering you？” I poured out my story about Jerry.“Do you think hes likely to change？” he asked.I shrugged.“Probably not.”“But，you can，”he said gently. Me？Why did I have to change？He was the one who constantly let us down.But what had I done？Maybe the doctor was right.I couldnt love his behavior，but I could love himthe way I did when we were little.As I walked into the house I sensed a relief. Jerry died young due to drinking.I miss him.But Im grateful I was given the opportunity to show him I loved himas he was，not as I wanted him to be.32Jerry got into the habit of drinking mainly because_. Ahe was influenced by bad guys Bhe couldnt get over the sadness of losing his father Cnobody cared for him after his father died Dhis mom left to live with his sister33The underlined word “sporadic” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_” Aoccasional Bfrequent Cformal Dunpleasant34What did the author think of the doctors suggestion at first? AIt was acceptable. BIt gave her much hope. CIt was unreasonable. DIt made her confused.35Whats the main idea of the passage? ALove can help a person give up bad habits. BToo much tension will destroy a persons health. CWe shouldnt expect too much of a person. DWe should try to love a person as he is.第二节（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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Sleep BetterIf youre having trouble getting good sleep through the night (turning，waking up more than once，for example)，this text will tell you what you can do to ensure a peaceful nights sleep.Get on schedule.Changing your sleeping time by more than an hour can severely disturb your sleep quality._36_ For example，if you normally wake up at 6 am.on weekdays to get to work，you might go to bed around 10 pm.，because thats when you start to feel sleepy，and its also a good time to ensure 8 hours of sleep.If，on the weekend，you sleep until 9 am.，you probably wont be able to fall asleep that night until 1 am._37_ Wait at least three hours after dinner before going to sleep.Digestion slows down while asleep，and a full stomach may interrupt sleep.Similarly，you should avoid going to bed on an empty stomach，as a completely empty stomach may equally disturb your sleeping patterns._38_ Exposure to light during the time when youre supposed to be sleeping can disturb your bodys internal clock.Turn your light off，or use a very dim night light._39_ They include windows，LED clocks，computer lights and cable boxes.Change your sleeping position.You may think that its impossible to control what position you sleep in since you arent fully aware of what you are doing，but it is possible and it can make a considerable difference._40_ATry to avoid all sources of light.BKeep the room as dark as possible.CMake note of unusual circumstances.DBe mindful of what you eat or drink before bed.ESleep is considered to be adequate only when there is no daytime sleepiness.FIn other words，sudden change of sleeping time will affect your “biological clock”GIf you wake up in the middle of the night，make an effort to have a comfortable position.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，每小题1分，满分20分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。It was the second semester during my senior year at the University of Harvard.As an English major，I have to read for hours and write inspiring _41_.One of my classes in this semester was a study on the _42_，dramatist，and critic，T.S.Eliot.For the next four months，_43_ was Eliot who haunted(萦绕在) my dreams.I would read his poems five or six times and write down comments.My reading responses were always returned to me _44_ in red ink.Usually my professor would kindly _45_ at the bottom，“I think you missed the point.” _46_ I would not be defeated.I stayed in _47_ Friday nights and spent hours in a _48_ corner of the library reading everything I could about Eliot.I wrote and rewrote my final paper _49_ I was sure it was the best thing I had _50_written.It had to beit was worth 70% of my final _51_.I patiently waited for my grades to be_52_ .I would wake up at six every morning and quickly log on to the computer，_53_ that I had passed.Forget having fun，and all I could think about were the _54_ of Eliot.His poems raced through my _55_days after our final class.I would go for runs and recite Ash Wednesday with every step I took._56_，the day came.Just before graduation，my grade was posted.It is an A and I had never felt much more_57_ of myself.I didnt have the courage to _58_ my TS.Eliot books.We had been through so much that I felt I couldnt part with them.I keep them in my closet for now.Im not ready to reread them yet.But I happily look at my _59_ and remind myself that with hard work and _60_，I can always overcome even the biggest difficulty.41A.essays Bletters Cnovels Dspeeches42A.president Bpoet Cpoliceman Dprofessor43A.this Bthat Cit Done44A.suffered Bsurvived Cmade Dcovered45.
