committee（委员会）, the students would be in fear , because he was seldom pleased with the answers they gave. a student would be lucky enough if he or she could receive a good mark from him. at the end of the term, the students of medicine would take their exam again. now a student entered the exam room and got seated before the committee. this student was a little nervous as he knew it would not be so easy to get through the exam at all. the professor began to ask. the student was required to describe a certain illness, his description of which turned out to be ok.then the professor asked about the cure（疗法）for the illness , and the student , too , answered just as right. “good,” said the professor, “and how much will you give the patient?”“a full spoon,” answered the student.“now you may go out and wait for what you can get,” said the professor. at the same time the committee discussed carefully the answers the student had given. suddenly the student noticed that there was something wrong with his last answer. “a full spoon is too much,” he thought to himself. anxiously he opened the door of the room and cried, “mr. professor, ive made a mistake! a full spoon is too much for the

the door in her pink princess costume while i prayed（祈祷） in the living room. usually i liked taking her out on halloween, but this year i was sad. i was worried about my mother, who was in china on vacation. i got a call that afternoon that she had slipped and fallen on the hard floor of her hotel and broken her leg. she was taken to a hospital in beijing. mom was nervous because she couldnt understand any of the doctors. if only i could do something to help her!i knew i couldnt let my worries ruin my daughters fun. there was nothing i could do for mom except pray, i thought. we left the house and headed down the block. i was so upset that i barely took notice of the kids around me. there came the man to whose son id once given piano lessons. “hello there,” i said, greeting him and the boy at his side.“hello,” the father answered. “having fun?” “im trying,” i said. “why, whats wrong?” he asked. i told him the whole story. “my mother, in china, broke her leg and didnt understand any of the doctors. and im too far away to do anything!” i said.he raised his eyebrows. “beijing, you said?” he asked. i nodded. he smiled. “believe it or not, my sister is a doctor at an english-speaking hospital there. if you want, ill make a call right away and well try and get your mom transferred (转移).”a few days later i sat in the living room with my daughter as she finished the last of the candy. “mommy, how far away is china?” she asked. “not as far as i thought,” i said.46. what did the authors daughter want to do?a. go to the theater to see a playb. enjoy herself outsidec. play a trick on the authord. pray with the author47. what was the authors mother worried about most？a. she was hurt on the leg badly while travelingb. she was too old and weak to pray for her daughterc. she couldnt make herself understood by the doctord. she couldnt get used to the life in beijing48. why did the author hardly take notice of the kids around?a. she was calling her

motherb. she was having a good timec. she was trying to find a skilled doctord. she was going to the hospital50. we can infer(推断) from the text that _.a. the authors daughter wanted to travel in china very muchb. the author would come to china to see her motherc. the author was a famous music teacher in the townd. the mans sister would help the authors mother cin this age of internet chat, videogames and reality television, there is no shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied. yet despite the competition, my 8-year-old daughter rebecca wants to spend her leisure time(业余时间) writing short stories. she wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest, a competition which she won last year.as a writer, i know about winning contests and about losing them. i know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection letter from the publisher. i also know the pressure of trying to live up to a reputation(名誉) created by previous masters. what if she doesnt win the contest again? thats the strange thing about being a parent. so many of our own past scars and destroyed hopes can be embodied in our children.an inspiration came last week when i asked her, “dont you want to win again?” “no,” she replied, “i just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade.”i had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she independently told them. telling myself that i was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall, i offered suggestions for characters, conflicts and endings for her tale. the story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly “guided” by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson. i had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it.staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks. while stepping back was difficult for me, it was certainly a good first step that i will quickly follow with more steps, putting myself far enough away to give her room but close enough to help if asked. all the while i will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment, grow and find their own voices.51. which of the statements will the author agree with? a. children should be given every chance to voice their opinions b. parents should keep an eye on the activities their kids engage in c. children should be allowed freedom to grow through experience d. a writing career, though attractive, is not for every child to pursue52. which does the underlined word “embodied” in paragraph 2 mean? _ a. put b. expressed c. connected d. included53. why did rebecca want to enter this years writing contest? because_ a. she wanted to share her stories with readers b. she was sure of winning with her mothers help c. she believed she possessed real talent for writing d. she had won a prize in the previous contest54. the author took great pains to improve her daughters stories because _. a. she wanted to help rebecca realize her dreams of becoming a writer b. she was afraid rebeccas imagination might run wild while writing c. she did not want to disappoint rebecca who needed her help so much d. she believed she had the knowledge and experience to offer guidance 55. we can infer from the passage that_. a. the authors daughter won the contest held last year b. hard work always leads to the publishers recognition c. parents shouldnt always help their children during their growth d. the author had an inspiration when rebecca asked her for helpd spring is coming, and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs. competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. whatever we are wearing, our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.a high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos (纹身), nose rings, or certain dress styles. it is true you cant judge a book by its cover, yet people do “cover” themselves in order to convey (传递)certain messages. what we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances, so do companies. dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees (雇员), because those people represent the companies to their customers.as a hiring manager i am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. there are plenty of wellqualified candidates, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers. even though i am openminded, i cant expect all our customers are.there is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer. no company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.57. what can be inferred from the text?a. candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview.b. what to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies.c. companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates.d. hiring managers make the best impressionon their candidates.58. which of the following would be the best title for the text?a. employees matterb. personal choices matterc. appearances matterd. hiring managers matter59. what does the underlined word candidate mean? _a. someone looking for a job b. someone taking an examc. someone taking an election d. someone studying for a degree60. the authors attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace may best be described as _.a. enthusiastic b. negative c. positive d. sympathetic第二节
