he sat and talked with me about his career goals and the difficulty of being at work on nights, weekends and holidays. he said he hadnt enough time to be with his family. after 15 minutes, he saw some customers at the front desk and excused himself. i noticed that before he went to the front desk, he stopped in the kitchen for a moment.then another waiter came out of the kitchen and had a wonderful chat with me. before i left that night, some other waiters, even the cook, had come out of the kitchen and sat with me!

he had been forced to stay in bed for two whole days. suddenly, his fathers words came to him. “when you are in a tight situation, dont fear. use your brain and think your ways out of it.”on a nearby hill, he could see smoke waving slowly skywards from the chimney of the nelson family home. “bees dont like smoke,” he thought. “they couldnt get into the house.” andy raced towards the nelson house, but the bees were gaining ground. andy knew he could not reach the house in time. he estimated that the bees would catch up with him soon.suddenly, out of the corner of his eyes, he saw a small dam used by mr. nelson to irrigate his vegetable garden. off his bike and into the cool water he dived, disappearing below the surface and away from the savage insects. after holding his breath for as long as he could, andy came up for air and noticed the bees have gone. dragging himself out of the dam, he struggled up the hilly slope and rang the doorbell. mr. nelson took him inside and rang his mother.“youll really need that fishing break to help you recover, ” laughed his mother with relief. “thank goodness you didnt fear.” but andy did not hear her. he was dreaming once again of the fish he would catch tomorrow.29. why did andy fail to notice the swarm of bees earlier?a. he was riding to school. b. he was listening to a strange sound.c. he was lost in the thought of the fishing trip. d. he was going fishing with his father.30. which of the following is not mentioned about the swarm of bees in the passage?a. they looked like a black cloud. b. they shocked and terrified andy.c. they tried to attack andy in a mass. d. they made andy stay in hospital for two days.31. which of the following can best describe andys escape from the bees?a. no pain no gains. b. once bitten, twice shy.c. in time of danger, ones mind works fast.d. where there is a will, there is a way. dwith halloween just around the corner, today we will explore the world of ghosts in this program! the merriam-webster online dictionary says the word “ghost” goes back a thousand years to the “earliest recorded evidence of the language.” the first meaning of “ghost” was “the seat of life or intelligence.” and it still has that meaning in some expressions. however, today, the word “ghost” usually means the soul (灵魂) of a dead person. this meaning is based on the idea that a persons spirit and body are separate. the spirit can continue existing long after the body has died. during halloween, kids dressed as ghosts are common sights. the costume is very simple: just throw on a white cloth that covers you from head to foot. but do not expect to win any costume competitions! you would not have a ghost of a chance. people use this expression to mean that something is very unlikely (不太可能的) to happen. another popular ghost expression is “you look like youve seen a ghost!” we say this when people look frightened or shocked. after all, a ghost is dead. so, it might be an unpleasant surprise to see one. the sight might even make you turn pale as a ghost. this is used when people lose color in their face. sometimes this happens when a person is scared. but a bad cold or flu can also turn you as pale as a ghost. “ghost” can also be a verb. in the 1880s the term ghost meant a person who works in secret for another person. ghostwriters produce speeches for politicians. they also produce books for authors who want to tell their life stories but are not professional writers. and sometimes ghostwriters are involved in a series of books, like the childrens stories based on the teenage detective nancy drew. the series began in 1930. the author given credit was carolyn keene. but she was not even real! ghostwriters did all the work. another expression using “ghost” as a verb is simply to ghost. this does not mean to die. it means to leave a place or event without saying “goodbye” to anyone. you can ghost from your job. you can ghost from a party. you can even ghost from a relationship. this is when you stop communicating with someone because you are simply no longer interested in them. but i will not ghost from words and their stories. 32. the basic meaning of the word “ghost” nowadays is _. a. the secret of another person b. the spirit of a dead person c. the color of ones face d. the origin of intelligence 33. if someone says “you dont have a ghost of chance to win the match”, he means _. a. without doubt you wont lose the match b. the match is unlikely to happen c. its impossible for you to win the match d. you are too scared to win the match 34. what can be inferred about the word “ghost” according to the passage? a. kids dressed in a white cloth like ghosts can win a costume competition. b. a bad cold can turn people as pale as a ghost because they fear illness. c. it was carolyn keene who ghostwrote the childrens stories. d. a person fond of his job is unlikely to ghost from it. 35. this passage is likely to appear in _. a. a radio program b. a halloween poster c. a fashion magazine d. a newspaper advertisement 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。the benefit of keeping a journalif you want to grow, one important thing you should do is keeping a journal. it may seem simple, but it can make a big difference in your life. i have been keeping journals for years. writing all the lessons i learn and all the ideas i get has become a habit for me. and to be honest, i cant imagine what my life would be like without it. 36 .* it prevents you from losing an idea. have you ever gotten an idea only to lose it later because you didnt write it down? 37 but then i developed the habit of writing down every idea that came into my mind as soon as possible. if im away from my computer, i usually write it down on a piece of paper that i bring wherever i go. i will then transfer the idea to the journal in my computer. * it helps you review all the lessons youve learned. by reviewing your journal, you can quickly see the lessons youve learned and the ideas youve got. 38 . you can use the ideas to push yourself forward.* 39 . after keeping a journal for years, you can look back at it and see how far youve gone. things that were big problems in the past might seem small today. the raw ideas you had in the past might have been realized today. *it helps you expand your ideas. when you try to come up with a sentence to express an idea, you are thinking actively about it. 40 . in the end, you will expand your ideas. a. i often experienced that myself. b. it trains you to express your thoughts. c. it allows you to see you progress over time d. just use whatever tool you feel comfortable with e. here are some benefits you will get by keeping a journal f. thinking actively helps you connect your idea to another idea g. then you can do whatever necessary to avoid repeating the same mistakes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1.5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。every day on the way to work i drive down a street lined with pine trees. one tree in particular 41 my attention. it must have suffered heavy 42 . part of its trunk(树干) grew nearly parallel to the ground, and then in an effort to 43 its own direction of life. the trunk took a 90-degree turn 44 to stand tall and stretch(伸展) toward the sun.this tree became a 45 for me. each day as i drove by, i saw this bent but determined tree and i would be 46 . it was a reminder to me that 47 i may not have had the best start in life, i could take a 48 in some bad parts of my life .i was planning to stop one day to get a perfect 49 of my kindred-spirit (志趣相同) tree. but that week i was 50 . after that busy week, i still didnt take any action. every time i drove by the tree i would 51 myself, “tomorrow, ill stop tomorrow to take one.” then one day, as i 52 by “my” tree, i glanced over, and much to my 53 , i found a sawed-off stump (树桩) where that symbolic tree had stood. “my” tree was gone. i had 54 my plan until “tomorrow” and tomorrow proved to be too 55 .a picture of a tree is not of great 56 . but my lesson rang through clearly 57 i found out one of my friends had been diagnosed with stage-four cancer(癌症). he may no longer have many 58 .what have you been putting off? what would you do today
