when i found it, was lightly covered with snow. it snowed almost every day for the next four months, while i sat on the couch and watched it pile up. one morning, i shuffled(拖着脚步走) downstairs and was surprised to see a snowplow(扫雪机) clearing my driveway and the bent back of a woman shoveling my walk. i dropped to my knees, crawled through the living room, and back upstairs so those good samaritans would not see me. i was mortified. my first thought was, how would i ever repay them? i didnt have the strength to brush my hair, let alone（更不用说） shovel someones walk. ks5u before jons death, i took pride in the fact that i rarely asked for help or favors. i defined myself by my competence and independence. how could i respect myself if all i did was sit on the couch every day and watch the snow fall? learning how to receive the love and support that came my way wasnt easy. friends cooked for me and i cried because i couldnt even help them set the table. “im not usually this lazy,” i swept. finally, my friend kathy sat down with me and said, “mary, cooking for you is not a burden. it makes me feel good to be able to do something for you.” over and over, i heard similar words of comfort from the people who supported me during those dark days. one very wise man told me, “you are not doing nothing. being fully open to your grief may be the hardest work you will ever do.”in many ways i have changed for the better. i have been surprised to learn that there is incredible freedom that comes from facing ones worst fear and walking away whole. 56. what made the author feel sad? a. her fiancs sudden death. b. constant heavy snow. c. her fianc abandoning her. d. her job being refused again. 57. whats the meaning of the underlined word “mortified” in paragraph 2? a. surprised. b.

mice, rest during the day, often staying in cool underground burrows. at night they search for food. animals that are out during the day, such as cold-blooded lizards and snakes, are active only for short periods. as their body temperature rises, these reptiles move into the shade in order to cool down. in the early evening, when the sun grows weaker, the reptiles become more active and begin their search for food again.getting enough water to survive is a major problem for all desert animals. some desert animals, like desert birds, manage to find water holes. other desert animals, such as the kangaroo and the related jerboa, get water only from the food that they eat. because these animals eat mainly dry seeds, they must survive on a tiny amount of water.most deserts have only a small number of frogs and toads because these animals must be near water to survive. yet even these creatures have adapted to desert conditions. when small amounts of water collect in temporary streams, the desert-living frogs and toads become active. after a rainfall, they lay their eggs. the eggs grow into tadpoles in a few days and into adults in just four weeks. when the puddles （水坑） dry up, the adult frogs or toads dig into the ground. their metabolism (新陈代谢) slows, and they stay beneath the ground until the next rain, which may be as good as a year away. until then, their bodily activities continue at a reduced rate.the camel- often called the ship of the desert - is one of the most successful desert animals. camels can go for long periods without water, but eventually they must drink. when water becomes available to them after a long drought, they may drink 95 liters of water or more. when water is not available, what helps camels survive the desert heat is the fat stored in their humps. a camels hump contains about 12 kilograms of fat. fat is rich in hydrogen. as the fat is digested, hydrogen from the fat combines with oxygen in the air that the camel breathes. the result is h2o or water. each kilogram of fat that a camel digests produces about a liter of water. 61. desert animals are usually more active at night because _.a. it is cooler at night b. it is easier to find waterc. they like the dark d. they are less likely to be attacked at night 62. which of the following desert animals can get water only from the food?a. the camel.b. the kangaroo. c. the frog. d. the rat. 63. which of the following is true according to the passage?a. all the desert animals rest during the day.b. all the desert animals dont rest during the day.c. cold-blooded animals are out most of the day.d. none of the cold-blooded desert animals go out during the day. 64. the title for this passage could probably be _.a. hot deserts b. desert animalsc. how desert animals get water d. ways to escape the desert heat 65. when camels cant find water , what helps them survive the desert heat?a. their humps b. grass c. the fat d. water in their humps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。choosing the right job is probably one of the most important decisions we have to make in life. one important question that you might ask yourself is: “how do i get a good job?”_66_. some people can answer an advertisement in the local paper and get the best job in the world; others write to all places all over the country, and never seem to get a reply at all. still others believe that the door-to-door approach is the best way to get a job; and then there are those who just seem to be in the right place at the right time. _67_. he used to spend his free time by the sea watching the ships, but never thinking that he might sail one of them one day. his father was a farmer, and being a sailor for the boy was just a dream. one day, on his usual wandering, he heard the captain of the ship complaining that he could not sail because one member of his crew was sick. without thinking, the lad(少年) offered to take his place. _68_. this story also illustrates(阐明) the importance of seizing（抓住） an opportunity when it presents itself. if the lad had gone home to ponder（考虑）his decision for a week, he may have missed his chance. _69_.sometimes we hear stories about people who break all the rules and still seem to land plum jobs（美差）. when you go for a job interview or fill out an application, you are expected to say nice things about the company to which you are applying. _70_. and within a year this person had become general manger of the company. ait is one thing to be offered an opportunity; it is another thing to take it and use it well. bpeople find jobs in a number of ways. cits almost impossible to find a good job by answering advertisement in newspapers dtake for example the young man who wanted to be a sailor. ebut there was one person who landed an excellent job by telling the interviewer all the companys faults（缺点）. fhe spent the rest of his life happily sailing the ships he had always loved. git is very important to seize an opportunity when it presents itself.第四部分： 写作（共两节, 满分25分）第一节：短文改错 (满分
