I have tried never to let my passion stand in the way of being a good parent. I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows(誓言) mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today. So heres what I want to tell you today:Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion(提升), the bigger paycheck, the larger house. Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure(休闲); it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted. Its so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, and our minutes. Its so easy to exist instead of to live. I learnt to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that,if I had my choice,it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all. I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that,in part,by telling others what I had learned. By telling them this:read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do,you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived. 9.It can be inferred from the passage that .

A. Through social experience. B. By learning from her friends. C. Through an unfortunate experience. D.

Do it well to serve others. B. Earn enough money to make life better. C. Try your best to get a higher position and a pay raise. D. Dont let it affect your real life.

But when the first 5,000 copies were printed in 1852. They sold out in two days. In a year the book had sold 300,000 copies in the United States and150,000 in England. 17 Within six months of its release, a play was made from the book which ran 350 performances in New York and remained Americas most popular play for 80 years. It might appear that Uncle Toms Cabins was universally popular, but this was certainly not true. Many people during those pre-Civil War days-particularly defenders of the slavery system-condemned it as false propaganda and poorly written melodrama (传奇剧作品). Harriet did have strong religious views against slavery (When asked how she came to write the book, she replied: God wrote it.), and she tried to convince people slavery was wrong, so perhaps the book could be considered propaganda. 18 Though she was born in Connecticut in 1832, as a young woman she moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, when her father accepted the presidency of newly founded Lane Theological Seminary (神学院). Ohio was a free state, but just across the Ohio River in Kentucky, Harriet saw slavery in action. 19 In 1851, Harriet Beecher Stowe began her book. Its vast influence strengthened the anti-slavery movement and angered defenders of the slave system. 20 In fact, when Abraham Lincoln met Harriet at the White House during the Civil War, he said, So, this is the little lady who started this big war. A She had read a lot about the slavery system. B Today some historians think that it helped bring on the American Civil War. C But if so, it was true propaganda, because it accurately described the evils of slavery. D For a while it outsold every book in the world, except the Bible. E But neither she nor her first publisher thought it would be a big success. F She lived 18 years in Cincinnati, marrying Calvin Stowe, professor of a college. G She began her replies.第二部分 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1.5分,满分30分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 My son Joey was born with club feet(畸形足).
