who do you think you are?”at that time i didnt realize my wife was looking on. without showing her surprise, she rushed in, seized the phone, tore off the wires, and shouted at the phone, “yeah! who do you think you are? bad telephone! bad telephone!” and she swept it into the wastebasket. i stood watching her, speechless. what on earth? she stepped to the doorway and shouted at the rest of the house, “now hear this! all objects in this room if you do anything to upset my husband, out you go!” then she turned to me, kissed me and said calmly, “honey, you just have to learn how to take control.” with that, she left the room. after watching a crazy woman rushing in and out, shouting at everything in sight, i noticed that something in my mood(情绪) had changed. i was laughing. how would i have trouble with that phone?

a. unusual actions b. smart wordsc. surprising looks d. anxious feelingschappy birthday! do birthdays really make people happy? of course they do. birthdays celebrate the day we were born. besides, that extra candle on the cake suggests another year of growth and maturityor so we hope. we all like to imagine that were getting wiser and not just older. most of us enjoy seeing the miracle of growth in others, as well. for instance, seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us feel proud. for americans, like people in most cultures, growing up is a wonderful process. but growing old? thats a different story.growing old is not exactly pleasant for people in youth-oriented american culture. most americans like to look young, act young and feel young. as the old saying goes, “youre as young as you feel.” older people joke about how many years young they are, rather than how many years old. people in some countries value the aged as a source of experience and wisdom. but americans seem to favor those that are young, or at least “young at heart”.many older americans find the “golden years” to be anything but golden. economically, “senior citizens” often struggle just to get by. retirement at age 65 brings a sharp decrease in personal income. social security benefits usually cannot make up the difference. older people may suffer from poor nutrition, medical care and housing. some even experience age discrimination (歧视). in 1987, american sociologist pat moore dressed up like an older person and wandered city streets. she was often treated rudelyeven cheated and robbed. however, dressed as a young person, she received much more respect.unfortunately, the elderly population in america is increasing fast. why? people are living together. fewer babies are being born. and middle-aged “baby boomers” are rapidly entering the groups of the elderly. america may soon be a place where wrinkles (皱纹) are “in”. marketing experts are already noticing this group of consumers (消费者).28. the main idea of the third paragraph is_. a. the golden years can make the old earn lots of money b. american social security benefits are not good c. the old in america have to retire at the age of 65 d. many old people in america are leading a hard life29. from the last paragraph we know that the underlined word “in” can be replaced by_. a. seriousb. growing fastc. disappearing slowlyd. bad30. from this passage we can know_. a. in america, growing up is not a wonderful process b. in america, growing up is as wonderful a process as growing old c. in america, growing old is a wonderful process, while growing up is not d. in america, growing up is a wonderful process, while growing old is not31. what should be mentioned in the following paragraph? a. companies will soon produce more goods for old americans. b. people will provide more services to the old in their communities. c. the public will change their attitude towards old people. d. the government will pass laws to ensure the benefits of the people.dsome time ago, i discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. i didnt think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there were a whole lot of antique (古董) shops near my home. so i left home one morning carrying the chair with me. i went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. i was quite wrong. the man wouldnt even look at my chair. the second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourthso i decided that my approach must be wrong.i went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. i placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “would you like to buy a chair?” he looked it over carefully and said, “yes, not a bad chair. how much do you want for it, sir?” “twenty pounds,” i said. “ok,” he said, “ill give you twenty pounds.” “its got a slightly broken leg,” i said. “yes, i saw that, but its nothing.”everything was going according to the plan and i was getting excited. “what will you do with it?” i asked. “oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “ill buy it,” i said. “what do you mean? youve just sold it to me,” he said. “yes, i know but ive changed my mind. im sorry; ill give you twenty-seven pounds for it. ” “your must be crazy,” he said. then, suddenly the penny dropped. “i know what you want. you want me to repair your chair. ” “youre right,” i said. “and what would you have done if i had walked in and said would you mend this chair for me?” “i wouldnt have agreed to do it,” he said. “we dont do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. but ill mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver (五镑钞票)?” he was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.32. we can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer _. a. was rather impolite b. was warmly received c. asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair d. asked the shopkeeper to buy his chair33. the expression “the penny dropped” in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper _. a. changed his mind b. saw the writers purpose c. accepted the offer d. decided to help the writer34. how much did the writer pay? a. 20.b. 7. c. 5.d. 27.35. from the text, we can learn that the writer was _. a. funnyb. carefulc. honest d. smart第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。are you simply moving through your day without fully living? i think many of us have done this. everyone wants to fully live every day. 36 so ive decided to share with you some ways to help you enjoy every moment.sit in the morning. when you wake up, in the quiet of the morning, sit on the floor. i often use this opportunity to stretch (伸展). 37 i also just sit, and focus on my breathing going in and out. 38 i like to take breaks from work, and go outside for a slow walk. pay attention to your breathing, to everything around you, to the sounds and light of objects.read in silence. find a quiet time, and a quiet place, and read a good novel. have no television or computers on nearby. and just put yourself in the world of the novel. it might seem difficult to let your mind move from the present into the time of the novel, but its a great practice in focus. 39 40 each day, find someone you care about and be grateful for his existence. if you want, you can tell that person how thankful you are to him.a. also, i love a good novel more than almost anything else.b. but this is easier said than done.c. walk slowly.d. look at someone in a grateful way.e. its a way of building something good into your life. f. i feel every muscle in my body.g. work with focus.第三部分 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项(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。during a recent holiday i visited dusseldorf，a city in the former west germany. the nine-day trip left a deep impression _41_ me. i arrived at dusseldorf airport at 7 pm. it was already _42_ outside. the first thing i needed to do was to find a place to _43_.i decided to telephone the youth hotel. but to use the phone i needed some _44_.i asked a lady for help. to my _45_ she gave me three coins to use. but all the phones in the _46_ needed phone cards. and phone cards could only be bought at post offices during the _47_.i was _48_ i would not be able to call the hotel. an old gentleman helped me. he couldnt speak english _49_ could understand that i needed to _50_ a phone call. he showed me where the phone was and inserted _51_ phone card. i called the youth hotel and found a place to stay that night.the _52_ of the german people made me feel that i was not _53_，and my first day in germany wasnt as _54_ as i expected. whenever i went，i asked people for _55_.it surprised me that _56_ every young german could speak english fluently. older germans couldnt speak english very well，but they would try to help me _57_ they could. one middleaged man i asked for direction even _58_ me to the place i was looking for.my _59_ in germany totally changed my impression of germans. now i think the people couldnt be more _60_.41.a. aboutb. forc. tod. on42.a. lateb. lightc. darkd. early43.a. stayb. eatc. visitd. keep44.a. cardsb. informationc. coinsd. money45.a. joyb. surprisec. emotiond. disappointment46.a. hotelb. pavementc. cityd. airport47.a. nightb. tripc. daytimed. rushhour48.a. sureb. afraidc. gladd. eager49.a. orb. soc. andd. but50.a. dob. havec. maked. answer51.a. anotherb. hisc. my d. a52.a. useb. successc. kindnessd. care53.a. far fromb. out ofc. close tod. far away54.a. badb. goodc. interestingd. busy55.a. distanceb. directionc. traveld. serve56.a. evenb. almostc. onlyd. already57.a. howeverb. whateverc. whereverd. whenever58.a. droveb. reachedc. movedd. came59.a. victoryb. experiencec. visitd. memory60.a. coldheartedb. selfishc. friendlyd. valuable 第卷(共50分)第一节：语法填空(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（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。my wife and i were raised in different 61_(culture).shortly after we were 62 (marry), we found ourselves 63 (wander) through a supermarket. linda asked me 64 i would like to have for dinner. i suggested turnips(萝卜). as i picked one up and put 65 in our basket, she said: “well, im not going to eat that. ”“why not?” i 66 (think) you liked turnips?” i asked.“i do, but i wouldnt eat that. its the roots of the turnips.we feed that to the pigs.” you know, as strange 67 this may seem, i had never heard it 68 (refer) to as the root of the turnips! it was always just a turnip to me.“well, what do you eat?” i asked.“we ea
