primary school the first english teacher will usually be a young and lovely lady. but my first english teacher is no other than my father. looking back, i can see that, when i was only a little girl, he created an english environment by providing me with flashcards（识字卡），fun english- language toys and even dolls which can sing english songs! my interest in english had certainly been awakened when i began to learn english at school. just imagine, he went a step further and asked me to learn new concept english by myself! i was confused and even angry. i could not understand why a father could be so strict with his little girl. all the same, he never gave up and he gently insisted that i follow through with his idea. at first, i read stories with tears and i actually hated them because they were too difficult for me. in the end, i came to love the funny stories and, to be honest, my father was always there with a helping hand. i am sure that my english would never have got so far without his support. and thats why my father is not only my first english teacher but also my lifelong teacher. he is the one who aroused my interest, gave me confidence and offered me much needed help.61most pupils in china begin to learn english_.afrom parents bin primary school cat home dat three years old62the underline part “no other than my father” in the passage probably means_. amy father himself bnot my father clike my father dnot only my father63from the whole passage we can see that_. athe girl hates her father because he was strict bthe girl is very thankful to her father cthe girl preferred playing to learning english dthe father gave up after knowing his daughter could not understand64which of the following is not true according to the passage? athe girls father is her first english teacher. bthe girl had been interested in english before going to school. cthe girls father was always ready to help her with her english. dthe girl could have learned english well by herself without her father.65what would be the best title for the passage? athe relationship between my father and i bhow i learned english at school cmy father-my first and lifelong english teacher dive made progress in english learningb driving to a friends house on a recent evening, i was attracted by the sight of the full moon rising just above my friends rooftop. i stopped to watch it for a few moments, thinking about what a pity it is that most city people - myself included - usually miss sights like this because we spend most of our lives indoors. my friend had also seen it. he grew up living in a forest in europe, and the moon meant a lot to him then. it had touched much of his life. i know the feeling. last december i took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous jungle of northern india with some friends. we stayed in a forest rest house with no electricity or running hot water. our group had campfires outside every night, and indoors when it was too cold outside. the moon grew to its fullest during our trip. between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys. not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard. it was one of the quietest places i have ever known, a bottomless well of silence. and above me was the full moon, which struck me deeply. today our lives are filled with glass, metal, plastic and fiber-glass. we have television,cell phones, pagers, electricity, heaters and ovens and air-conditioners, cars, computers. struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day, most of it spent indoors, i thought, “before long, i would like to live in a small cottage. there i will grow vegetables and read books and walk in the mountains. and perhaps write, but not in anger. i may become an old man there, and wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled and measure out my life in coffee spoons. but i will be able to walk outside on a cold silent night and touched the moon.”66. the writer felt sorry for himself because _.a. there was too much pollution. b. he failed to see the fullest moon.c. he didnt adapt to modern inventions d. there were too many accidents on the road.67. what impressed the writer most in the mountainous jungle of northern india?a. no modern equipment.b. complete silence.c. the nice moon.d. the high mountain.68. modern things are mentioned mainly to _.a. show that the writer likes city life very much.b. tell us that people greatly benefit from modern life.c. explain that people have less chances to enjoy nature.d. show that we can also enjoy nature at home through them.69. the author wrote the passage to _.a. express the feeling of returning to nature.b. show the love for the moonlight.c. advise modern people to learn to live.d. want to communicate longing for modern life. 70. the best title for the passage would be _.a. touched by the moon b. the pleasures of modern lifec. a bottomless well of silenced. break away from modern life c when something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, well, its so-and-sos fault. or i know im late, but its not my fault; the car broke down. it is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. you have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. however, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. this is the winners key to success.winners are great at overcoming problems. for example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. for another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. ask to work with a different person, or dont rely on this person. you should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well. this is what being a winner is all about-creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. winners dont have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situation to face as anybody else. they are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. so, stop focusing on whose fault it is. once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.71. according to the passage, winners .a. deal with problems rather than blame others b. meet with fewer difficulties in their byesc. have responsible and able colleagues d. blame themselves rather than others72. the underlined word “remedy” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .a. avoid b. accept c. improve d. consider73. when your colleague brings about a problem, you should .a. find a better way to handle the problem b. blame him for his lack of responsibilityc. tell him to find the cause of the problem d. ask a more able colleague for help74. when problems occur, winners take them as . a. excuses for their failures b. barriers to greater powerc. challenges to their colleagues d. chances for self-development75. which of the following is the best title for the passage? . a. a winners achievement. b. a winners problem.c. a winners opportunity. d. a winners
