I waited until he jumped into the cab. “La Guardia Airport, please,” he said.As always, I wondered about my passenger. “What do you do?” “I am working at the hospital.” For some unknown reason, I decided to ask for his help. “Could I ask a favor of you?” He didnt answer. “I have a son, 16. Hes doing well in school. He wants a job this summer. Is there any possibility that you might get him a summer job?” After a minute, he said, “The medical students have a research project. Maybe he could fit in. Have him send me his school records.” He searched his pocket and handed me a card. That evening, I pulled the card from my pocket. “Robbie,” I said proudly, “This could be a summer job for you. Send him your school records.” He read it out loud, “Fred Plum, New York Hospital.” “Is this a joke?” he said in doubt. After I shouted and threatened (恐吓) to cut off his pocket-money, Robbie promised to send off his grades the next morning. Two weeks later, when I arrived home, my son handed me a letter from Plum. He was to phone Plums secretary for an interview. Robbie got the job. The white coat he wore made him feel more important than he really was. As high school graduation neared, Plum was kind enough to write letters of remendation (推荐) for universities. At last, Robbie was admitted to New York Medical College. It never happened to me that a stranger should change my sons future. 25.Who does the underlined phrase “a well-dressed man” in the first paragraph refer to?

B.One must be friendly to strangers. C.A father should be responsible for his son. D.Doctors may have a great effect on people.C I love traffic. I really do. And let me tell you, its pretty simple to love traffic, too.I could also easily hate traffic. I could get angry at the cars moving too slowly. I could stare at the clock and focus on all the time I had lost while moving along slowly on the highway. I could be that rude driver who ignores the other cars at a four-way stop and cuts corners with the belief that his or her time is more valuable than others. I could boil up my anger during my journey to work and release it on other people. I could choose to be a stressed-out, angry driver. But thats not the life I want to live. I dont want to be unhappy when I have the choice to be happy. Perhaps its that Im calm by nature or that Ive been through a series of life events at a young age that let me know traffic is not the worst thing that can happen in life. It is not even nearly the worst thing that can happen in my day. I choose to love traffic. I choose to use the time to play some of my favorite songs and think about what I want to do in my day. On my drive home, I love to reflect on the best part of the day and how thankful I am to be alive. I choose to use the time to call my loved ones. I choose to use my mute as a karaoke dance party. I choose to smile at angry drivers and hope they will find some happiness in their mute. I choose to look at traffic as a beautiful time to just de-stress and be at peace. We are not put in traffic against our will. In fact, we get in our cars and make the conscious decision to get into a moving vehicle at certain times of our day. We decide to either drive dangerously or safely. That is our choice. It is also our choice to learn how to react to situations like traffic. We can be anxious and angry or we can be nervous and excited. We can be mean to each other or we can be kind to each other. We can choose to help or shut people out. Life is filled with a series of choices. I prefer to make choices that make me calm and bring some more kindness into the world. I choose to love traffic. I hope you do, too.29.What message does the author intend to convey in Paragraph 3? A.Life has more exciting things to offer than traffic. B.It is natural for people to express their anger in traffic. C.It is better to look at the bright side of things. D.There is no need to worry about traffic problems. 30.Which of the following choices would the author suggest that people do when they are caught in traffic? a. make plans for the dayb. look back on happy memoriesc. ask drivers nearby to speed upd. enjoy their favorite songse. check for possible shortcutsA.abcB.abdC.bcdD.abe 31.What is the best title for the text? A.The Power of Respect and Kindness B.Finding Happiness in Traffic C.The Making of a Responsible Driver D.How to Get Rid of Anxiety in TrafficD Many people believe that you lose the ability to learn new languages as you get older. Language experts, however, will tell you that youre never too old to learn a new language. As you get older, it can be more difficult to learn a new language, though. Children and adults learn new languages in different waysFor children, language is their life.They study for thousands of hours every year, because they need to learn language to bee part of their munities. Adults, on the other hand，are already part of a language munity. Learning a new language means being part of another language munity, and adults rarely get the chance to practice as much as young children do. Moreover, children learning a new language are expected to make mistakes. This gives them freedom when learning to be daring and confident. Adults, however, often feel pressured to be perfect when learning a new language. This can intimidate (使害怕) many people and make it even harder to learn a new language. Research has shown that children who learn a new language when they are very young are not likely to have a “foreign” accent when speaking a different language. Some scientists also believe that it can take up to 10,000 hours of study to master a new languageThis can be difficult for adults to achieve, but young children can accumulate those hours over several years as they grow up. When young children learn a new language, they e to see multiple languages as a “normal” part of society. This mindset (思维模式) helps them embrace learning a new language without feeling like theyre doing something unusual or “too hard”. So if you want to learn a new language, go for it! Its never too late to learn a new language. If youre older, it may take more work, but it can be done. If youre a young child, though, now is the time to step out and learn a new language! 32.By “language is their life”, the author means that children _ A.can t live without languageB.use language from time to time C.practice a new language a lotD.are good at speaking language 33.What may make it hard for the old people to learn a new language? A.They usually have too many interests B.They are afraid of being laughed at C.They think making mistakes is natural. D.They always make all kinds of mistakes 34.According to the author, a new language_ A.can never be learned by the old people B.can be grasped by the old people easily C.can be learned by both the old and the young D.is an important skill for the old people 35.The author develops this passage by _A.making several parisonsB.presenting research findings C.offering some typical examplesD.telling some interesting stories第二节 (共5小题，满分10.0分)Whether youre a child，teenager，young adult or are middle-aged，respect for your parents is an important valueYour parents are the people who raised you，devoting time，energy and money to your development（36） _ No matter your age，there are 5ways to show respectRespect their belongingsOne important way to show respect is to show regard for the things important to your parentsFor younger children，this may mean not touching jewelry or other valuable thingsFor grown children，respect may mean returning a borrowed tool in good condition and on timeLack of respect for a parents belongings is a violation（侵犯） of personal boundaries（37） _ And never borrow things without asking firstPunctuality（38） _ Therefore，always be on timeFor teenagers，showing up on time means ing home by curfew（宵禁）Adult children should show up on time for family dinners or events，or to pick a parent up for a medical appointmentCall if youre going to be late because parents worry about children，no matter their age（39） _ Remembering birthdays，anniversaries and other special days is a sign that you honor your parentsMake plans to take them to lunch or dinner or bake a cake or cookiesMost parents dont expect expensive gifts，but a handmade gift is always appreciatedA phone call from a grown child who lives too far for a visit is a wele sign of respectBe kindKind words and affection are simple ways to show respectTell your parents you love themListen and allow your parents to speak without interruptionShow a sincere interest in what your parents have to sayBe patient with your parents and dont rush themNever talk back or be rude or disrespectfulAcknowledge your parents achievements（40） _ ABe a good listenerBCelebrate with themCLateness indicates a lack of respectDTreat your parents the way you would like to be treatedEAnd they love you unconditionally throughout your lifeFBeing respectful helps build positive relationships with othersGDont take advantage of your parents kindness and generosity第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节完形填空(共20小题，每小题1.5分，共30.0分) In our modern world，when something wears out，we throw it away and buy a new oneThe（41） _ is that countries around the world have growing mountains of（42） _ because people are throwing out more rubbish than ever before How did we（43） _ a throwaway society？First of all，it is now easier to（44） _ an object than to spend time and money repairing it（45） _ modern manufacturing （制造业） and technology，panies are able to produce products quickly and inexpensivelyProducts are plentiful and（46） _ Another cause is our（47） _ of disposable （一次性的） productsAs（48） _ people，we are always looking for（49） _ to save time and make our lives easierpanies（50） _ thousands of different kinds of disposable products：paper plates，plastic cups，and cameras，to name a few Our appetite for new products also（51） _ to the problemWe are（52） _ buying new thingsAdvertisements persuade us that（53） _ is better and that we will be happier with the latest productsThe result is that we（54） _ useful possessions to make room for new ones All around the world，we can see the（55） _ of this throwaway lifestyleMountains of rubbish just keep getting biggerTo（56） _ the amount of rubbish and to protect the（57） _ ，more governments are requiring people to recycle materials（58） _ ，this is not enough to solve our problem Maybe there is another way outWe need to repair our possessions（59） _ throwing them awayWe also need to rethink our attitudes about（60） _ Repairing our possessions and changing our spending habits may be the best way to reduce the amount of rubbish and take care of our environment41AkeyBreasonCprojectDproblem42AgiftsBrubbishCdebtDproducts43AfaceBbeeCobserveDchange44AhideBcontrolCreplaceDwithdraw45AThanks toBAs toCExcept forDRegardless of46AsafeBfunnyCcheapDpowerful47AloveBlackCpreventionDdivision48AsensitiveBkindCbraveDbusy49AwaysBplacesCjobsDfriends50AdonateBreceiveCproduceDpreserve51AadaptsBreturnsCrespondsDcontributes52Atired ofBaddicted toCworried aboutDashamed of53AnewerBstrongerChigherDlarger54Apick upBpay forChold ontoDthrow away55AadvantagesBpurposesCfunctionsDconsequences56AshowBrecordCdecreaseDmeasure57AtechnologyBenvironmentCconsumersDbran
