a. every effort should be paid back. b. competition should be paid back. c. fear of failure should be removed in competition. d. winning should be a life-and-death matter.dbarack obama was born on august 4, 1961 in honolulu, hawaii. his father came to america from kenya, which is a country in africa. his parents, ann and barack, met when they were students at the university of hawaii. since barack had the same name as his father, young barack went by the nickname “barry”.in 1979, after he finished high school, barry went to occidental college in los angeles, california. there, he started to learn about his african roots and decided to use his african name, barack. after two years in l.a., he went to columbia university in new york city to study politics.after college, he moved to chicago, illinois, where he worked to help poor people in his city. he traveled to africa to meet his grandmother and cousins for the first time. he went back many times over the years to visit with his family and learn about where he came from. at work, he met a lawyer named michelle robinson. they worked together in a big law firm. then he left chicago to go to harvard law school in cambridge, massachusetts. he did very well in law school.after he was done with school, barack moved back to chicago and in 1992 he married michelle. he worked as a lawyer, devoted to helping poor people for free who had been treated unfairly. he worked hard to get the people he helped to vote(投票).he made many people believe that their votes were important, and helped them feel like they could make a difference.32. barack obamas father was probably born in _.a. hawaii b. illinois c. california d. kenya 33. which of the following is the right order according to the text?getting married to michelle.travelling to africa to meet his grandmothergoing to harvard law schoolgoing to columbia universityworking in a big law firm.a. b. c. d. 34. how did obama get people to vote?a. by cheating them to do so.b. by making a difference to people.c. by showing them the importance of their votes.d. by helping poor people who treat others unfairly.35. according to the text, which of the following words can best describe barack obama?a. humorous b. kind-hearted c. polite d. brave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。as we all know, friendship is of great importance in our daily life. a friend can give us help and share our difficulties and happiness. but how to make friends is still difficult to some of us. 36 1. be friendly to others. 37 . you should try to make a stranger feel at home wherever he happens to be. think more of others than of yourself and never judge a person by his appearance and clothes.2. be reliable. if you and your friend agree to meet somewhere, dont be late. if youre not going to make it on time or make it at all, call them as soon as you realize it. 38 . be someone that people know they can depend on.3. 39 . listen carefully to what people say, remember important details about them （their names, their likes and dislikes）, ask questions about their interests, and just take the time to learn more about them.4. encourage your friends: a true friend always gives courage to his friends. 40 . never make fun of or laugh at your friends in front of others. you should come to support them.a. be a good listener.b. when you say youll do something, do it.c. a friend to all is a friend to none.d. the following information can give you some tips:e. and never leave your friend when he is in trouble.f. smile at others and you are sure to get a smile in return.g. he will remain with them in both good as well as bad times.第三部分 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项。it was the last day of the final examination in a large eastern university. on the steps of one building, a group of engineering seniors gathered, discussing the exam due to begin in a few 41 on their faces was confidence（自信）. this was their last examthen on to 42 and jobs.some talked of jobs they already had; others talked of jobs they 43 get. with the certainty of four years of college, they felt ready and able to take 44 of the world.the coming exam, they knew, would be a(n) 45 task. the professor had said they could bring 46 books or notes they wanted, requesting only that they did not 47 each other during the test. 48 , they entered the classroom. the professor passed out the papers. and smiles 49 on the students faces as they noted there were only five essay-type questions.three hours had passed 50 the professor began to collect the papers. the students no longer looked confident. on their faces was a frightened expression. papers in hand, no one spoke as the professor faced the class.he looked at the 51 faces before him, and then asked, “how many completed all five questions?” 52 a hand was raised.“how many answered four?” still no hands.“three?
