( c )getting paid to talk about the world cup is a great job. im not a football commentator(评论员),though-just an english teacher in japan. i came to japan two years ago, and didnt think i would stay, but japan has that effect on you. people often end up living here longer than they planned. i think its best to teach in a biggest city where there are other foreigners to mix with. rather than a small town where english teachers often complain of feeling like a goldfish in a bowl. many people choose to live in tokyo, of course, which is good for the nightlife factor. but id say that for general quality of living, cities of neither too large nor too small, like sapporo where i live, are better choices. i teach english privately, which means im my own boss. if you want to devote yourself to private teaching, its well worth doing a tefl course first. because your lessons will be much better for it. the problem with private teaching is finding students; it took me a year to build up a full schedule(日程表)of private lessons, so i started out teaching in schools part time. most of my foreign friends here work full-time for big english conversation schools. the salary is fine to live on. but whether you can save money depends on how much going out and traveling you do here. the schools are reluctant to take time off-even teachers with tickets for the england-argentina game had a hard time getting the day off.28. from the passage we know in japan the write likes to jive in_. a. tokyo b. a small town c. a city of middle size d. a big city29. according to the writer, one had better _ first to do private teaching better. a. take a tefl course b. decide his or her own lessons c. find students d. build up a full schedule30. the underlined sentence in the second paragraph implies that_. a. there are many foreigners in japan b.they can teach english privately in japan c. japan is good for nightlife d. japan has something more attractive than expected31. the underlined word “reluctant” in the passage may probably mean_. a. kind b. unwilling c. free d. careless ( d ) success doesnt begin until you begin the walk down the way towards your goals. and your walk down the way always begins first with a baby step. why do we call them baby steps? are they really anything more than our next step down lifes way? baby steps are the first steps we take as an act of faith. we see others stepping out and we want to show our ability to walk by following them. as we grow, we continue our development by taking extra baby steps. sometimes we fall; sometimes we fail. after that, all steps become an act of faith; we just become more practiced. if you say to yourself “i dont want to make a fool of myself” or “id better be good at this”, youll probably never take the baby steps towards your goals and end up lying in your own self-pity. as a culture, we focus on results. we think about every risk that must be taken to reach our goals. therere few people whore excellent performers of any tasks the first time they try them. they fail and succeed. then, they build on their abilities learned each time. they practice the skills and use their talents through baby steps before theyre ready to prove them to the world. so, learn to take those baby steps to reach the goals before you. know that you can depend on god to show you the way. as you become more experienced, your baby steps become a walk, then a jump, and finally a sprint. thats how our baby steps lead us through the marathon of life.32. which of the following is thought most important in taking baby steps? a. faith. b. practice. c. skill. d. examples. 33. in the third paragraph, the writer expresses the view that . a. we cant expect to succeed without working hard at first b. adults should learn from babies in dealing with hard tasks c. we must make full use of our skills in order to get rewards d. baby steps play the key role in leading us towards success34. the underlined word “sprint” in the last paragraph probably means “”.a. slow rush b. sudden stop c. hard climb d. fast run35. whats the writers tone in the text? a. light-hearted. b. regretful. c. encouraging. d. concerned. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，共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。 ( e ) are you actually sick when you have spring fever? originally, yes. 36 but now people used it to mean a sudden increase of romantic feelings. these days, we use “spring fever” to describe arestlessfeeling after the long, cold days of winter. 37 it is also a verb that means something happening or appearing quickly.imaginethat you are resting in the chair when suddenly you see a mouse run across the floor. youspring into action! you jump from the chair and run after the mouse! 38 and it works! but when you tell your roommate that you caught a mouse in a trap,tears spring from her eyes. you feel badly, but she really should have told you about her pet mouse charlie! 39 you say to her, “you cant justspring that on me! ill need time to find another roommate!” but then you think that maybe its for the best. every time you see her you feel guilty about charlie. 40 she always expects you to buy her things: she wants you tospring forlunch,spring formovie tickets, and sometimes even spring forgroceries.so, when youspring for something, you pay for someone else.a. many people suffer a lot from it. b. you roommate turns her back on you.c. but the word “spring” is not just a season.d. spring fever used to refer to an actual illness.e. then your roommate is moving out tomorrow.f. that night youspring a trap with some cheese in it.g. and anyway, she does something that reallyannoysyou.第三部分 英语知识运用(共一节，满分30分)第一节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题15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。 do you lose your temper and wonder why?
