im not smart enough to go to university. the 44 will laugh when they see me in class. i probably wont live long enough to get a 45 . maybe i should just turn the car around and go home.” then, 46 , i saw it! a large billboard on the side of the road with a picture of kermit frog. i 47 a little and read the words next to his picture. “live your dreams.” was kermit speaking me? i didnt turn the car around.i drove a little 48 on up the highway and there was another 49 . this one had a picture of albert einstein with his tongue 50 out. a line read, “as a student, he was no einstein.” and there was a word in red, “confidence”. a new attitude was 51 inside me.i was now 52 the gate of the university and there 53 still another billboard. this one showed a photograph of a proud 54 in a cap and gown. under the picture was her 55 , nola ochs, aged 95. oldest university graduate. below it was the words, “live life”. at that moment, my outlook changed completely.36. a. acquiredb. consultedc. attendedd. contained37. a. learning b. takingc. teachingd. using38. a. goalb. dreamc. advice d. idea39. a. sinceb. before c. after d. until40. a. programb. systemc. theme d. process41. a. turn upb. sign upc. keep upd. make up42. a. walkedb. steppedc. rand. drove43. a. negativeb. attractivec. active d. optimistic44. a. tutorsb. kidsc. professors d. fellows45. a. degreeb. praise c. skill d. reputation46. a. finallyb. immediatelyc. exactlyd. suddenly47. a. sped upb. cut downc. slowed downd. went up48. a. higherb. furtherc. closer d. lower49. a. billboardb. picturec. portraitd. cartoon50. a. breakingb. pullingc. stickingd. giving51. a. formingb. arrivingc. buildingd. making52. a. approaching b. gettingc. squeezing d. staying53. a. layb. livedc. satd. stood54. a. manb. teenagerc. womand. youth55. a. mottob. namec. aged. hobby第三部分 阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分,满分30分）阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。amargaret, married with two small children, has been working for the last seven years as a night cleaner, cleaning offices in a big building.she trained as a nurse, but had to give it up when her elder child became seriously ill. “i would have liked to go back to it, but the shifts(工作班次) are all wrong for me, as i have to be home to get the children up and off to school.so she works as a cleaner instead, from 9 p.m. till 6 a.m. five nights a week for just 90, before tax and insurance. “its better than it was last year, but i still think that people who work unsocial hours should get a bit extra.”the hours shes chosen to work mean that she sees plenty of the children, but very little of her husband. however, she doesnt think that puts any pressure on their relationship.her work isnt physically very hard, but its not exactly pleasant, either. “i do get angry with people who leave their offices like a place for raising pigs. if they realized people like me have to do it, perhaps theyd be a bit more careful.”the fact that shes working all night doesnt worry margaret at all. unlike some dark buildings at night, the building where she works is fully lit, and the women work in groups of three. “since ive got to be here, i try to enjoy myselfand i usually do, because of the other girls. we all have a good laugh, so the time never drags.”another challenge margaret has to face is the reaction of other people when she tells them what she does for a living. “they think youre a cleaner because you dont know how to read and write,” said margaret. “i used to think what my parents would say if they knew what id been doing, but i dont think that way any more. i dont dislike the work though i cant say im mad about it.”56. margaret gave up her job as a nurse because _.a. she wanted to earn more money to support her familyb. she had suffered a lot of mental pressurec. she needed the right time to look after her childrend. she felt tired of taking care of patients57. margaret gets angry with people who work in the office because _.a. they never clean their officesb. they look down upon cleanersc. they never do their work carefullyd. they always make a mess in their offices58. when at work, margaret feels _.a. light-hearted because of her fellow workersb. happy because the building is fully itc. tired because of the heavy workloadd. bored because time passes slowly59. the underlined part in the last paragraph implies(暗示) that margarets parents would _.a. help care for her childrenb. regret what they had saidc. show sympathy for herd. feel disappointed in herb why does a large education nation like china have so few world renowned scientists as the us? educationists from china and the us try to find out the answer to questions like this at a forum on the basic education strategy. the forum, held recently, was jointly organized by the education development research center of the ministry of education in china and the postgraduate school of the university of pennsylvania in the us. it aims to find out similarities and differences that exist between two countries in their educational system. while some educationists in china keep a doubtful eye to the countrys educational system in recent years. their american counterparts give a positive answer to the basic education in china, saying that it is still one of the best in the world. an american educationist told reporters that the basic education in the us was criticized in recent years due to its political tendency. on the contrary, chinese governments stress on basic education and qualified teachers has set a good example. at primary and middle school, pupils in china did better in math and science lessons than the us pupils. however, few grow to be world “masters”. why? educationists attributed this to chinas stress on examination rather than students interest. deputy director of the postgraduate school of pennsylvania university said american teachers encouraged students to focus on their strong points. in china, students are driven to study to pass the entrance examination test and they do not pay much attention to their own interest. at the forum, director of the education development research center mr. zhang said in the future, the research center would make its middle and long-term basic education strategy by taking some references from other countries including the us.he also revealed that for a long time in the future, china would make a breakthrough in setting the policy for quality education.60. this passage is mainly about _. a. quality education development in the future b. why chinas education cultivates(培养) few world masters c. chinas good basic education d. genius education at the primary stage61. few pupils in china who did better in math and science lessons than the us pupils grow to be world “masters”, because _ a. the us government spends more money on basic education b. american pupils are cleverer than chinese pupils c. basic education in china is not as successful as that of the us d. chinese people pay less attention to students interest62. chinas educational system will _ in the future. a. help students to study even harder to pass the examination b. apply more attention to quality education referring to systems of other countries c. allow students to pay more attention to their own interest without their test results d. copy the educational system in the usc“opinion” is a word that is used carelessly today. it is used to refer to matters of taste, belief, and judgment. this inaccurate use would probably cause little confusion if people didnt attach too much importance to opinion. unfortunately, most attach great importance to it. “i have as much right to my opinion as you to yours, and everyone has a right to hold his opinion, are common expressions. in fact, anyone who would challenge anothers opinion is likely to be branded intolerant.is that label accurate? is it intolerant to challenge anothers opinion? it depends on what definition of opinion you have in mind. for example, you may ask a friend what do you think of the new ford cars?” and he may reply, “in my opinion, theyre ugly.” in this case, it would not only be intolerant to challenge his statement, but foolish. for its obvious that by opinion he means his personal preference, a matter of taste. and as the old saying goes, its pointless to argue about matters of taste.but consider this very different use of the term. a newspaper reports that the supreme court has delivered its opinion in a controversial case. obviously the justices did not share their personal preferences, their mere likes and dislikes. they stated their considered judgment, painstakingly arrived at after thorough inquiry and deliberation(审议).most of what is referred to as opinion falls somewhere between these two extremes. it is not an expression of taste. nor is it careful judgment. yet it may contain elements of both. it is a view or belief more or less inaccurately arrived at, with or without examining the evidence.dose everyone have a right to hold his opinion? of course, this is not only permitted, but guaranteed. we are free to act on our opinions only so long as, in doing so, we do not harm others. 63. which of the following statements is true, according to the author?a. everyone has a right to hold his own opinion. b. free expression of opinions always leads to confusion.c. most people tend to be careless in forming their opinions.d. casual use of the word “opinion” often brings about quarrels. 64. according to the author, who of the following would be labeled as intolerant?a. someone who turns a deaf ear to others opinions.b. someone who cant put up with others tastes.c. someone who values only their own opinions.d. someone whose opinion harms other people.65. the new ford cars are cited as an example to show that _.a. it is foolish to criticize a famous brand b. one should not always agree to others opinionsc. personal tastes are not something to be challengedd. it is unwise to express ones likes and dislikes in public66. considered judgment is different from personal preference in that _.a. it is stated by judges in the courtb. it reflects public like and dislikesc. it is a result of a lot of controversy d. it is based on careful thought ddeath valley, one of americas great national parks, is a place of strange and silent beauty. as beautiful as this place is, its name provides evidence of very real danger. death valley is a land of beautiful yet dangerous extremes. there are mountains that reach more than 3,00
