because _. a. in india shaking the head means agreement b. the foreigner promised to give him only a little money c. the driver felt uncomfortable at that time d.the indian driver had something important to do22why did the foreigner become angry? because _. a. the indian driver didnt want to send him to his office b. the indian driver asked him for a lot of money c. he asked the driver to send him to his office, but the indian driver didnt say any words d. he misunderstood the meaning of shaking the head in india23the underlined phrase “on the contrary” means _. a. doing what you want to do b. clear difference between two things c. just the opposite d. on the other handbsure，its good to get along well with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.and yes，its good to get along well with your teacher because，in general，its smart to learn how to get along well with the different types of people youll meet throughout your life.in fact，kids who get along well with their teachers not only learn more，but theyre more comfortable about asking questions and getting extra help.this makes it easier for them to understand new materials and do their best on tests.when you have this kind of relationship with a teacher，he or she can be someone to turn to with problems，such as problems with learning or school issues.here is a question：what if you dont get along well with your teachers? in fact，teachers want to get along well with you and enjoy seeing you learn.but teachers and students sometimes have personality clashes(个性冲突)，which can happen between any two people.if you show your teacher that you want to make the situation better，he or she will probably do everything possible to make that happen.by dealing with a problem like this，you learn something about how to get along with people who are different from you.however，if a certain teacher isnt your favorite，you can still have a successful relationship with him or her，especially_.here are some of those responsibilities：attend class ready to learn.be prepared for class with the right pencils，books，and completed assignments.listen when your teacher is talking.do your best，whether its a classroom assignment，homework，or a test.24the passage is written for_.ateachers bstudents cadvisers dparents25according to the passage，getting along well with your teachers will make you_.aget the best scores in the examsbget a better seat in the classroom chave no problems with study dhave more pleasant time in the classroom 26the underlined word “that” in the fourth paragraph refers to_.agetting along very well with classmates ba better relationship between you and your teachercthe disappearance of personality differencesdthe happy time you have in the classroom27“_” can be filled in the blank.aif you are thought of as a good studentbif you are easygoing and helpfulcif you know some basic social skillsdif you fulfill your basic responsibilities as a studentcdoes handwriting matter? not very much, according to many educators. however, scientists say it is far too soon to declare handwriting is not important. new evidence suggests that the link between handwriting and educational development is deep.children not only learn to read more quickly when they first learn to write by hand, but they are also better able to create ideas and remember information. in other words, its not only what we write that matters but how.a study led by karin james, a psychologist at indiana university, gave support to that view. a group of children, who had not learned to read and write, were offered a letter or a shape on a card and asked to copy it in one of three ways: draw the image on a page but with a dotted outline（虚线）, draw it on a piece of blank white paper, or type it on a computer. then the researchers put the children in a brain scanner and showed them the image again.it was found that when children had drawn a letter freehand without a dotted outline or a computer, the activity in three areas of the brain were increased. these three areas work actively in adults when they read and write. by contrast, children who chose the other two ways showed no such effect. dr. james attributes the differences to the process of free handwriting: not only must we first plan and take action in a way but we are also likely to produce a result that is variable. those are not necessary when we have an outline.its time for educators to change their mind and pay more attention to childrens handwriting.28what do scientists mean by saying “it is far too soon to declare handwriting is not important”?a. handwriting should not be ignored at present. b. handwriting has nothing to do with education.c. handwriting is not very important to children.d. handwriting can not be learned in a short time.29what does “that view” in para. 3 refer to?a. children read quickly when they write by hand.b. children create ideas and remember information. c. how we write is as important as what we write.d. a group of students should know what to write.30which is not the childrens task in the experiment?a. copy the image on a page but with a dotted outline.b. draw the image on a piece of blank white paper.c. put a brain scanner and show the image againd. type the image directly on a computer. 31according to the passage, the author obviously _ giving up handwriting. a. is for b. doesnt care about c. is responsible for d. is against dalthough being famous might sound like a dream come true, todays star, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. they are at the center of much of the worlds attention. paparazzi（狗仔队）camp outside their homes, cameras ready. tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature. according to psychologist christina villarreal, celebrities (famous people) worry constantly about their public appearance. eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “over time,” villarreal says, “they feel separated and alone.” the phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. in the 4th century b.c., painters followed alexander the great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. when charles dickens visited america in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain about his lack of privacy. tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do. being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. when they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever. if fame is so troublesome, why arent all celebrities running away from it? the answer is there are still ways to deal with it. some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. they focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place. sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. they are tired of being famous already.32it can be learned from the passage that stars today_.a. are often misunderstood by the publicb. can no longer have their privacy protectedc. spend too much on their public appearanced. care little about how they have come into fame33what is the main idea of paragraph 3?a. great heroes of the past were generally admired.b. well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.c. works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.d. the problem faced by celebrities has a long history.34what makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?a. availability of modern media.b. inadequate social recognition. c. lack of favorable chances.d. huge population of fans.35what is the authors attitude toward modern celebrity?a. sincere b. sympathetic c. skeptical(怀疑的) d. disapproving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。 although problems are a part of our lives, it certainly doesnt mean that we let them rule our lives forever. one day or the other, youll have to stand up and say problem, i dont want you in my life. 36 problems with friends, parents, girlfriends, husbands, and children the list goes on. apart from these, the inner conflicts within ourselves work, too. these keep adding to our problems. problems come in different shapes and colors and feelings.but good news is that all problems can be dealt with. now read on to know how to solve your problems.talk, it really helps. what most of us think is that our problem can be understood only by us and that no talking is going to help.37 talking helps you move on and let go.write your problems.38 when you write down your problems, you are setting free all the tension from your system. you can try throwing away the paper on which you wrote your problems. by doing this, imagine yourself throwing away the problems from your life.dont lose faith and hope. no matter what you lose in life, dont lose faith and hope. even if you lose all your money, family you should still have faith. 39 your problems arent the worst. no matter what problem you get in life, therere another one million people whose problems are huger than yours. 40 your problems might just seem big and worse, but in reality they can be removed.go about and solve your problems because every problem, however big or small, always has a way out.a. when we have a problem, a pressing, critical, urgent, life-threatening problem, how do we try and solve it? b. but the truth is that when you talk about it, youre setting free the negative energies that have been gathering within you. c. we can often overcome the problem and achieve the goal by making a direct attack.d. tell yourself: when they can deal with them, why cant i?e. of course, weve been fighting troubles ever since we were born. f. with faith and hope, you can rebuild everything that you lose. g. having a personal diary can also be of huge help if you dont want a real person to talk with.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和d）中，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。whenever i felt disappointed i often thought of what my mother had said to me，“everything happens for the best.if you 41 ，one day something good will happen.and youll realize that it wouldnt have happened if not for that previous 42 ”as it 43 ，mother was right.in 1932，i ended my college life. 44 that，i had decided to try for a job in radio，and then could work my way up to sports 45 i went to chicago and knocked on the door of every 46 and got turned down every time.in one station，a 47 lady told me that big stations couldnt risk hiring a person who lacked 48 “go to 49 town and find a little station thatll give you a chance，” she said.i then 50 to dixon.while there was no radioannouncing jobs in dixon，my father said montgomery ward had opened a store and wanted an athlete to 51 its sports department.since dixon was where i had played high school football，i 52 the job sounded just right for me.but i wasnt 53 my disappointment must have 54 “everything happens for the best，” mom 55 me.dad 56 me one car for me to job hunt.i 57 woc radio in davenport.the program 58 ，a wonderful scotsman named peter macarthur，told me they had already 59 a contract with another announcer.i often 60 what direction my life might have taken if id gotten the job at montgomery ward and if i didnt persist.41a. hold upbgo on clook on dstay up42a.successes bdisappointments clives dresults43a.carried out blooked out cfigured out dturned out44a.since bbefore cafter dduring45a. performer bathlete chostess dannouncer46a. station bfirm cstore dschool47a.beautiful bkind cstrict dcruel48a.money bknowledge cappearance dexperience49a.down bbig csmall dfaraway50a. turned bsaw cadded dwalked 51a. buy brun csell dshow52a.refused bapplied cmanaged dyelled53a.fired bsatisfied cfitted demployed 54a. shown bfallen cdisappeared dresponded55a. persuaded breminded cadvised drecited56a. offered blent csold dpromised57a.visited btried cpassed dpoured58a.boss bdirector cphotographer dsinger59a. assigned bsigned cdesigned dresigned60a. wondered bdoubted cintended dexpected第ii卷第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（不多于3个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。 tony and i are good friends. we tried to walk across the united states.were not exactly sure 61 we were doing it. part of it was to test ourselves to see if we could face the challenges. when i was 62 teenager, my biggest dream was that after i graduated 63 high school, i was going to walk across the united states. 64 ， i didnt do that.before i knew it, i was in
