I dressed them nicely for the party, and told them that their job was to join Mommy in answering the door when the bell rang. Mommy would introduce them to the guests, and then they would take the guests coats upstairs and put them on the bed in the second bedroom.The guests arrived. I introduced my two daughters to each of them. The adults were nice and kind and said how lucky we were to have such good kids.Each of the guests made a particular fuss over Kelly, the younger one, admiring her dress, her hair and her smile. They said she was a remarkable girl to be carrying coats upstairs at her age.I thought to myself that we adults usually make a big to do over the younger one because shes the one who seems more easily to be hurt. We do it with the best of intentions.But we seldom think of how it might affect the other child. I was a little worried that Kristen would feel she was being outshone. I was about to serve dinner when I realized that she had been missing for twenty minutes. I ran upstairs and found her in the bedroom, crying.I said, What are you doing, my dear?She turned to me with a sad expression and said, Mommy, why dont people like me the way they like my sister? Is it because Im not pretty? Is that why they dont say nice things about me as much?I tried to explain to her, kissing and hugging her to make her feel better.Now, whenever I visit a friends home, I make it a point to speak to the elder child first.24. The underlined expression make a big to do over(Paragraph 4) means .A. show much concern aboutB. have a special effect onC. list jobs to be done forD. do good things for25.

Kristen felt sad and cried because .A. the guests gave her more coats to carryB. she didnt look as pretty as KellyC. the guests praised her sister more than herD. her mother didnt introduce her to the guests27. We can conclude from the passage that .A. parents should pay more attention to the elder childrenB. the younger children are usually more easily hurtC. people usually like the younger children moreD. adults should treat children equallyCThere is no better way to enjoy Scottish traditions than going fishing and tasting a little bit of whisky(威士忌)at a quiet place like the Inverlochy Castle. When Queen Victoria visited the castle in 1873 she wrote in her diary, I never saw a lovelier spot. And she didnt even go fishing.Scotland is not easily defined. In certain moments, this quiet land of lakes and grasses and mountains changes before your very eyes. When evening gently sweeps the hillside into orange light, the rivers, teeming with fish, can turn into streams of gold. As you settle down with just a fishing pole and a basket on the bank of River Orchy, near the Inverlochy Castle, any frustration(烦恼) will float away as gently as the circling water. Its just you and purple, pink, white flowers, seeking a perfect harmony. If you are a new er to fishing, learning the basics from a fishing guide may leave you with a lifetimes fun. For many, fishing is more than a sport; it is an art.Scotland offers interesting places where you can rest after a long days fishing. Set against a wild mountain and hidden behind woodland, the beautiful Inverlochy Castle Hotel below the Nevis is a perfect place to see the beauty of Scotlands mountains. Ben Nevis is the highest of all British mountains, and reaching its 1343-metre top is a challenge. But its not just what goes up that matters; what es down is unique. More than 900 metres high, on the mountains north face, lies an all-important source of pure water. Its name es from the Gaelic language usquebaugh or water of life; and it is the single most important ingredient(原料) in Scotlands best known drink: whisky.28. The story of Queen Victoria is to show that .A. the Queen is rich in tour experienceB. the Castle is a good place to go in ScotlandC. tasting whisky is better than going fishingD. 1873 is a special year for the Queen29.

The Inverlochy Castle Hotel.B. The beauty of its surroundings.C. The water from the mountain.D. The challenge up to its top.31. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To introduce Scottish traditions to tourists.B. To show the attractions of Scotland to readers.C. To explore geographical characteristics of Scotland.D. To describe the pleasures of life in Scotland. DIf you are a recent social science graduate who has had to listen to jokes about unemployment from your puter major classmates, you may have had the last laugh. There are many advantages for the social science major because this high-tech Information Age demands people who are flexible (灵活)and who have good munication skills.There are many social science majors in large panies who fill important positions. For example, a number of research studies found that social science majors had achieved greater managerial success than those who had technical training or pre-professional courses. Studies show that social science majors are most suited for change, which is the leading feature (特点)of the kind of high-speed, high-pressure, high-tech world we now live in.Social science majors are not only experiencing success in their long term pany jobs, but they are also finding jobs more easily. A study showed that many panies had filled a large percentage of their entry level positions with social science graduates. The study also showed that the most sought-after quality in a person who was looking for a job was munication skills, noted as very important by 92 percent of the panies. Social science majors have these skills, often without knowing how important they are. It is probably due to these skills that they have been offered a wide variety of positions.Finally, although some social science majors may still find it more difficult than their technically trained classmates to land the first job, recent graduates report that they dont regret their choice of study.32. By saying that you may have had the last laugh in the first paragraph, the author means that you may have_.A. shared the jokes with puter majorsB. earned as much as puter majorsC. found jobs more easily than puter majorsD. stopped joking about puter majors33. pared with graduates of other subjects, social science graduates_.A. are ready to change when situations changeB. are better able to deal with difficultiesC. are equally good at puter skillsD. are likely to give others pressure34. The underlined word land in the last paragraph probably means“_”.A. keep for some timeB. successfully getC. immediately startD. lose regretfully35. According to the text, what has made it easy for social science graduates to find jobs?A. Willingness to take low-paid jobs.B. Readiness to gain high-tech knowledge.C. Skills in expressing themselves.D. Part-time work experience.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。If you are hungry, what do you do?
