tenyson. as we were leaving, we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the concrete. her husband was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock.walking towards the scene, tenyson became very upset about what had happened to the couple. he said to me, “mum, its not much fun falling over in front of everyone.”at the front of the supermarket a charity(慈善) group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages and flowers to raise funds. tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower. “it will make her feel better,” he said. i was amazed that hed come up with such a sweet idea. so we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up. “just take it,” she replied. “i cant take your money for such a wonderful gesture.”by now paramedics（救援人员）had arrived, and were attending the injured woman. as we walked up to her, my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment. he said he was just too scared to go up to her. instead i gave the flower to the womans husband and told him, “ my son was very upset for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better.”at that, the old man started crying and said, “thank you so much, you have a wonderful son. happy mothers day to you.”the man then bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. though badly hurt and shaken, the old lady looked up at tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile.24. what dose the

excited27. what would be the best title for the passage?a. flower powerb. mothers dayc. an accidental injuryd. an embarrassing moment c walt disney is credited for creating such wonderful things as donald duck and mickey mouse. however, he cannot take the credit for creating other well-loved characters, such as cinderella and snow white. they are almost automatically associated with disney because disney turned old fables(寓言) into cartoon movies. the original cinderella varies very much from the disney version we know today. it started off with the girl mourning her mothers death and going to her tomb three times a day. in addition, there were only birds that helped cinderella; there was no such thing as a fairy godmother or helpful mice, nor was there mention of a horse and carriage. the stepsisters were cruel: they always threw cinderellas food into the ashes of the fire and made her sleep on the ashes on the floor, hence（因此）her name. in the original story, the kings ball actually lasted for three days. with the help of the birds, the girl, beautifully dressed, danced with the prince on all three nights and the prince fell in love with her. however, she broke away from him to rush back home each night. on the last night, the prince placed soothing sticky on the stairs; as cinderella made her escape, a shoe got stuck on it.here now is where the story becomes unpleasant: when the prince went to the house looking for the girl whose foot fit the shoe, the wicked(邪恶的) stepmother told one of her two daughters to cut off her big toe to fit into the shoe. the daughter did as told. so the prince took her away to be his bride. but when they passed the tomb of cinderellas mother, the birds called out to the prince,“turn and peep, theres blood in the shoe;the shoe is too small, the true bride waits for you.” realizing he had been tricked, the prince returned the daughter to her mother. the other then had to cut off part of her heel in order to fit into the shoe, with the same result. only cinderellas foot fit perfectly and so the prince chose to marry her. the story ends with the wedding day: as cinderellas two stepsisters followed her, pretending to be devoted to her so that they could enjoy the kings riches, two birds flew by and plucked(啄) out their eyes. because of their wickedness and falsehood, they had to spend the rest of their days blind.the original cinderella is so different from the disney version. thank goodness disney made such changes; it indeed was a wise move.28. what dose the underlined word “they” in the first paragraph refer to?a. such wonderful things.b. other well-loved characters.c. old fables.d. cartoon movies.29. how did cinderella get her name?a. the birds came up with it.b. it was given by disney.c. it came from the word “ash”.d. she got it from her mother.30. the moral of the original story is that _.a. a wicked person cannot escape punishment.b. a devoted person certainly deserves respect.c. a well-behaved child earns a great reward.d. a dishonest child cannot get mother love.31. what does the author think of the disney version?a. excellent. b. ordinary c. dull. d. ridiculous. d perhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money. strange as it may seem, if youre unsatisfied, the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of desiresnot that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you dont have enough tastes. real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities (能力) to enjoy life. most people are already swamped(淹没) with things. they eat, wear, go and talk too much. they live in too big a house with too many rooms, yet their house of life is a hut. your house of life ought to be a mansion (豪宅) , a royal palace. every new taste, every additional interest, every fresh enthusiasm adds a room. here are several rooms your house of life should have. art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things. if you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them, they would make you as happy as to find plenty of ham and eggs when youre hungry. literature, classic literature, is a beautiful, richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment. to gain that love would go toward making you a rich person, for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library. music like mozarts and bachs shouldnt be absent. real riches are of the spirit. and when youve brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk, you have increased your thrills and bettered them. and life is a matter of thrills. sports, without which you remain poor, mean a lot in life. no matter who you are, you would be more human, and your house of life would be better supported against the hard days, if you could, and did, play a bit. whatever rooms you might add to your house of life, the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.32. the author intends to tell us that_. a. true happiness lies in achieving wealth by fair means b. big houses are peoples most valued possessions c. big houses can in a sense bring richness of life d. true happiness comes from spiritual riches33. the underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably implies that_. a. however materially rich, they never seem to be satisfied b. however materially rich, they remain spiritually poor c. though their house is big, they prefer a simple life d. though their house is big, it seems to be a cage34. it can be learned from the passage that _. a. more money brings more happiness b. art is needed to make your house beautiful c. literature can enrich your spiritual life d. sports contribute mainly to your physical fitness35. what would be the best title for the passage? a. house of life b. secret of wealth c. rest and refreshment d. interest and enthusiasm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。i have collected some examples that should be an inspiration to anyone who desires to be successful. they show that if you want to succeed you should expect failure along the way. i actually believe that failure can encourage you on and make you try even harder. 76 the truly successful things wont be beaten, they take responsibility for failure, learn from it and start all over from a stronger position. walt disney-one of the greatest business leaders who created the global disney empire of film studios, theme parks and consumer products didnt start off successful. 77 believe it or not, walt was fired from an early job at the kansas city star newspaper because he was not creative enough! in 1922 he started his first company called laugh-o-gram. the kansas based on business would produce cartoons and short advertising films. 78 walt didnt give up, he packed up, went to hollywood and started the walt disney company. bill gates co-founder and chairman of microsoft set up a business called traf-o-data. the partnership between him, paul allen and paul gilbert was based on a good idea but a flawed business model that left the company with few customers. 79 however, bill gates and paul allen took what they learned and avoided those mistakes when they created the microsoft empire. 80 i hope that these are inspiration and motivation for everyone who aspires to be successful in whatever way they choose. do you agree or disagree with me?a. so, the one thing successful people never do is: give up!b. in 1923, the business went bankrupt.c. he was greatly depressed.d. every experience of failure increases the hunger for success.e. the company ran up losses between 1974 and 1980 before it was closed.f. many factors may affect your success.g. before the great success came a number of failures. 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、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。recently, i was invited to a writing class at my old high school. i
