brothers had the same mean mother as i didmy mother insisted on knowing where we were at all timesshe had to know who our friends were and what we were doingwe had to wear clean clothes every dayother kids always wore their clothes for days we reached the height of disgrace （耻辱） because she made our clothes herself, just to save moneythe worst is yet to comewe had to be in bed by 9:00 each night and up at 7:45 the next morningso while my friends slept, my mother actually had the courage to break child labor lawshe made us work. i believed she lay awake all night thinking up mean things to do to usthrough the years, our friends report cards(成绩报告单） had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failingmy mother, however, would only be satisfied with black marksnone of us was allowed the pleasure of being a dropout （辍学者）she forced us to grow up into educated and honest adultsusing this as a background, im now trying to bring up my three childrenim filled with pride when my children think i am mean because now i thank god every day for giving me the meanest mother in the world56from the passage we can learn that the writers mother was_anot generous at all bvery cruel to her childrencvery mean with money matters dvery strict with her children57which of the following things did the writer hate to do most? aeating differently from other kids bletting mother know where they werecgoing to bed early and getting up earlydwearing clean clothes made by mother58it can be inferred from the passage that_athe writers family lived a miserable life ball the other kids studied

up.ba well-dressed man entered a famous jewelry shop. he explained that he wished to buy a pearl for his wifes birthday. the price didnt matter, since business had been very good for him that year. after examining a nice black one that costs $5, 000, he paid for the pearl in cash, shook hands with the jeweler, and left.a few days later the man returned and said that his wife liked the pearl so much that she wanted another one just like it. it had to be exactly the same size and quality as she wanted a pair of earrings made. can you give me any advice on how to get such a pearl? said the man. the jeweler regretfully replied, i would say its exactly impossible to find one exactly like that pearl.the rich man insisted that the jeweler advertise in the newspapers, offering $25,000 for the matching pearl. many people answered the advertisement but nobody had a pearl that was just right. just when the jeweler had given up hope, a little old lady came into his store. to his great surprise, she pulled the perfect pearl from her purse. i dont like to part with it. she said sadly, i got it from my mother, and, my mother got it from hers. but i really need the money. the jeweler was quickly to pay her before she changed her mind .then he called the rich mans hotel to tell him the good news .the man, however, was nowhere to be found. the jeweler immediately realized the whole thing.60. the man paid $5,000 for the black pearl without bargaining because_. a. he wanted to make the jeweler believe him b. he was very rich. c. his business had been successful d. he was anxious to get it61. he told the jeweler to get him another pearl that must be_. a. exactly the same quality as the black one b. exactly the same size as the black one. c. exactly the same as the black one d. exactly worth $25,00062. the jeweler couldnt find the man anywhere because _. a. he happened to be out b. he died suddenly c. he wouldnt show up until the jeweler called him a second time d. he got $20,000 by cheating and had run away with the moneyca popular saying goes, “sticks and stone may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” however, thats not really true. words have the power to build us up or tear us down. it doesnt matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.we all talk to ourselves sometimes. were usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. but we really shouldnt be, because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.this “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. beware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. so in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. we should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. the next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying, “good job!”words possess power because of their lasting effects. many of us regret something we once said. and we remember unkind words said to us! before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: is it true? is it loving? is it needed? if what we want to say doesnt pass this test, then its better left unsaid.words possess power: both positive and negative. those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. we can offer hope, build self-esteem(自尊) and motive others to do their best. negative words destroy all those things. will we use our words to hurt or to heal? the choice is ours. 63the author argues in the first paragraph that _.awords will never hurt us at allbpositive effects last longer than negative effectscwords have lasting effects on usdnegative words last longer than positive effects64why should we not feel embarrassed when talking to ourselves? atalking to ourselves is believed to be good for our health.bit does harm to have “self-talk” when we are alone.ctalking to ourselves helps us to solve all the problems.dalmost everybody has the habit of talking to oneself.65the underlined phrase “give ourselves a pat on the back” in paragraph 3 means _.ablame ourselvesbpunish ourselvesc. talk to ourselves dpraise ourselves 66which of the following statements would the author agree to? ait is impossible for unkind words to be forgotten.bit is better to think twice before talking to others.cwords always possess long positive effects.dkind words are sometimes not needed at all.dsleeping in on saturday after a few weeks of too little shuteye may feel refreshing, but it can give a false sense of security.new research shows long-term sleep loss cannot be cured that easily. scientists researched the effects of short- and long-term sleep loss and found that those who suffer long-term sleep loss may function normally soon after waking up, but experience steadily slower reaction times as the day goes by, even if they had tried to catch up the previous night.the research has important safety significances in an increasingly busy society, not just for shift-workers but for the roughly one in six americans who regularly get six hours or less of sleep a night.“we know that staying awake 24 hours without sleep will affect your performance to do all sorts of things, and this effect equals to drinking too much when driving,” said lead researcher dr. daniel cohen of bostons brigham and womens hospital. but when those who suffer long-term sleep loss become all-nighters, “the harm is increased ten times,” cohen said.the national institutes of health says adults need seven hours to nine hours of sleep for good health. regularly getting too little sleep increases the risk of health problems, including memory impairment and a weakened immune system. more immediately, too little sleep affects reaction times; sleepiness is to blame for car crashes and other accidents.it has critically important complicated and unexpected results for anyone who works “crazy hours”and thinks they are performing fine with a few hours of weeknight sleep, said harris, director at new yorks montefiore medical center. “dont think you can just bank up your sleep on the weekend, because it doesnt work that way,” he warned 67. people with long-term sleep loss _. a. are quicker in thinking b. may feel refreshed soon after waking up c. are surely energetic d. can have a strong sense of security 68. which of the following is the immediate effect of long-term sleep loss? a. health problems b. immune system c. reaction times d. memory impairment 69. the underlined phrase “bank up” in the last paragraph most probably means _. a. pile up b. pick up c. add up d. build up 70. the text mainly advises people _. a. to sleep more time b. to sleep in on saturday c. to sleep scientifically d. to sleep little on weekend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
