I could tell that my parents had been talking about something in that half-playful, half-serious way I knew so well, he said, How would you like to go to Eton?You bet. I cried quickly catching the joke. Everyone knew it was the most expensive, the most famous of schools. You had to be entered at birth, if not before. Besides, even at 12 or 13, I understood my father. He disliked any form of showing off. He always knew his proper station in life, which was in the middle of the middle class, our house was medium-sized; he had avoided joining Royal Liverpool Golf Club and went to a smaller one instead; though once he had got a second-hand Rolls-Royce at a remarkably low price, he felt embarrassed driving it, and quickly changed it for an Austin 1100. This could only be his delightful way of telling me that the whole boarding school idea was to be dropped. Alas! I should also have remembered that he had a liking for being different from everyone else, if it did not conflict with his fear of drawing attention to himself.It seemed that he had happened to be talking to Graham Brown of the London office, a very nice fellow, and Graham had a friend who had just entered his boy at the school, and while he was in that part of the world he thought he might just as well phone them. I remember my eyes stinging and my hands shaking with the puzzlement of my feelings. There was excitement, at the heart of great sadness.Oh, he doesnt want to go away, said my mother, You shouldnt go on like this.” “Its up to him, said my father. He can make up his own mind.24. The writers father sold his Roils-Royce because_.A. it was bought at a low price B. it frequently broke downC. it was a second-hand car D. it made him feel uneasy25. The writers father would enjoy being different unless _. A. there was no danger of showing off B. it drew much attention to himC. it was understood as a joke D. it didnt bring him in arguments26. The writer felt _ about the idea of going to Eton.A. unhappy B. unbelievable C. delighted. D. complicated27. Based on the passage we know that_. A. It is not easy for children to get admitted by Eton B. Children can go to Eton if they would like toC. Children who can go to Eton are very famousD. Children cant decide whether they will go to EtonCIf you and I met at a party, you would probably ask me what I do for a living, what town I live in the kind of questions that would help you to build a picture of who I am. I might ask the same of you, but I probably wouldnt be listening. Its more likely Id be looking at the label on your jeans, glancing at your shoes, and eyeing up your mobile phone. These are the things that really tell me who you are. In fact, I sincerely hope you would notice the same things about me. Well, thats the way it was a year ago.I began to behave like this at a very early age. I remember the first day of junior school, standing alone in the playground, desperately wanting to make friends. I headed straight for what seemed to be the most promising group of boys. They were talking to girls, trading football cards, eating green sweets all the things I wanted to do. As I attempted to talk with them, one boy asked me, “Do you support Manchester United Football Club?” Another asked, “Are you into Michael Jackson?” I answered yes to them all, even though the truthful answer was no.Things seemed to be going well until one of the boys caught sight of my trainers. Id never thought too much about them before. They were just plain blue sports shoes that Mum had bought, for playing in the back garden. At once, the group laughed very loudly, “Where did you get those from? A charitable organization?”Looking at the boys in bewilderment (疑惑), I noticed for the first time that they all had similar shapes on the sides of their trainers, like the ones on footballers boots on television. It wasnt just their shoes: crocodiles, eagles and tigers sat on the breasts of their T-shirts, and every single boy seemed to have the same school bag, a blue plastic bag with a leaping puma in silver on the side. I walked away quietly, depressed. From that day on, I was determined to be like them, if not more so.28. What was the author like one year ago? A. He was very interested in figure paintings.B. He used to judge others by their appearances.C. He was crazy about holding different parties.D. He had some difficulty communicating with others.29. How did the author react when asked about his favorite football team?A. He replied proudly. B. He kept silent. C. He told a lie. D. He refused to answer.30. Why did the group suddenly burst out laughing?A. Because they looked down upon the author.B. Because they were attracted by the author.C. Because they welcomed the author warmly.D. Because they played a joke on the author.31. After the first day of junior school, the author began to _.A. be addicted to televisionB. concern himself with animalsC. follow famous football playersD. spend more money on branded goodsDSingle-sex schools are better than mixed schoolsMessage 1 posted by Jane, AmsterdamI think mixed-sex schools are the only way for children to learn, because its natural. In higher education and their working life, they will be mixed so it makes sense for them to be mixed at school. School should reflect the real world.Message 2 posted by Hans, GermanyMy reaction to this is very clear. For me, single-sex schools are much better, and the statistics show that they get better exam results, particularly at secondary level. Anything which helps children pass exams must be a good thing.Message 3 posted by Bill, USABoys and girls learn in very different ways. I feel that they should be educated separately so teachers can focus on their different needs. The way I see it is that if you have a zoo, you dont put the lions in with the zebras!Message 4 posted by Martin, LondonMy view on this is that it doesnt really matter. What is important is the curriculum (课程), and keeping students interested. I was a teacher and we had a lot of truancy (逃学) to deal with, and problems with students missing lessons because they found them boring. Never have a timetable with Maths as the first class on Monday morning!Message 5 posted by Emily, SydneyI dont think there is any question that mixed schools are better. There is too much competition at single-sex schools, which often means that students dont make enough progress. I also think there is more bullying (欺凌) at single-sex schools, where children are picked on because of the increased competition. Single-sex schools lead to a “dog eat dog” situation.32. What is Janes attitude towards single-sex schools?A. Favorable. B. Negative. C. Objective. D. Unconcerned.33. Both Hans and Bill hold that _.A. teachers should meet students different needs B. boys and girls should be taught separatelyC. schools should focus on students exam resultsD. mixed schools are better than single-sex schools34. Martin stresses the importance of _.A. exciting students interest in coursesB. students time awarenessC. training students to obey rulesD. school management 35. Emily uses “dog eat dog” to show _. A. her support for single-sex schoolsB. students determined effort to succeedC. the fierce competition in single-sex schoolsD. the better education results in single-sex schools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。 Five Things Ambitious People Never Say1.“I cant do thisits too hard.”Ambitious people never limit themselves or undervalue hard work with these words. _36_2.“Im not good enough.”Ambitious people never say they are not good enough. Saying you are not good enough holds you back and makes you vulnerable to quit when things get a little rough. And quitting when things get a little rough is never a good thing. The most successful people in the world are not quitters. _37_Be confident and believe in yourself, or no one else will.3. “I wont make it through the obstacles.”Challenges and obstacles are tests of your resolve and desire to succeed. _38_They say they will make it because they know better things lie aheadthe sun always shines after the storm.4. _39_The only time people wont take you seriously is if you dont take yourself seriously. Insisting that people wont take you seriously is an excuse not to do what you know you should do. Ambitious people never say these words. They respect themselves and honor their work and that earns peoples respect. Start respecting yourself and honoring what you do and people will respect and take you seriously.5. “Im going to fail for sure.” _40_It can teach you valuable lessons and redirect you to the right path. Ambitious people dont say they are going to fail and let that stop them from trying. They defy the fear of failure by taking calculated risks because they know the only time you are truly defeated is when you dont try at all. Jim Carrey says it best: “You can fail at what you dont want, so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love.”A. People wont take me seriously.B. They tell themselves they can do it.C. They are hard workers who believe in themselves and their abilities.D. People take it for granted that it is impossible.E. Ambitious People never say they can do everything well.F.
