if so, fine. dont try to fool yourself. you are the one who will be left holding the bag. weather is an important factor in your packing. if its cold, you could wear a jacket, a sweater, a regular shirt, and a t-shirt. layering up will keep you warm and it will leave more room in your bag. roll up your casual clothes instead of folding and laying them flat. this leaves more room to pack other things, and keeps your clothes fairly wrinkle-free.remember how much easier it will be to carry your bag! 25. this text would be most helpful to a reader who is _ . a. going on a vacationb. shopping for luggage c. moving to a new homed. hosting relatives for a visit26. if you buy things at your local store ahead of time, you can _ . a. lighten your loadb. save a lot of moneyc. have more visiting time d. have more room in your bag27. what should one plan to do if going somewhere in the winter? a. pack an extra sweater for the trip. b. put on several layers of clothing. c. mix and match clothing outfits. d. roll jackets so they fit in the bag. c once when i was facing a decision that involved high risk, i went to a friend. he looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice ive ever had: be bold and brave and mighty (强大的) forces will come to your aid.those words made me see clearly that when i had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because i had tried and failed. it was usually because i had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. on the other hand, whenever i had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, i had always been able to swim until i got my feet on the ground again.boldness means a decision to bite off more than you are sure you can eat. and there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. they are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas even physical strength greater than most of us realize.admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. but they are more important than physical ones. a college classmate of mine, tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. “in one game i suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,” said tim. “i was so frightened that i closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet (子弹) and stopped him cold.”boldness a willingness to extend yourself to the extremeis not one that can be acquired overnight. but it can be taught to children and developed in adults. confidence builds up. surely, there will be setbacks (挫折) and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. but the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.so, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities and youll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.28. why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past?a. he faced huge risks.b. he lacked mighty forces.c. fear prevented him from trying.d. failure blocked his way to success.29. what is the implied meaning of the underlined part?a. swallow more than you can digest.b. act slightly above your abilities.c. develop more mysterious powers.d. learn to make creative decisions.30. what was especially important for tims successful defense in the football game?a. his physical strength.b. his basic skill.c. his real fear.d. his spiritual force.31. what is the authors purpose in writing this passage?a. to encourage people to be courageous.b. to advise people to build up physical power.c. to tell people the ways to guarantee success.d. to recommend people to develop more abilities.d recently i have discovered its often easier for me to do something every day than to do it just some days. i post to my blog six days a week. i take notes every day. i write in my one-sentence journal every day. many people have told me that they find it easier to exercise when they exercise every day. if i try to do something just four days a week, i spend a lot of time arguing with myself: is today the day, or is it tomorrow, or the next day? does the week start on sunday or monday?if you do something every day, you tend to fall into a routine. routine has a bad reputation for lacking excitement. its true that novelty and challenge bring happiness and that people who break their routines, try new things, and go to new places are happier, but i think that some routine activities also bring happiness. the pleasure of doing the same thing, in the same way, every day, shouldnt be overlooked. by repeating, you can find happiness in activities like doing dishes or sweeping the floor as well as in your beloved morning coffee-and-news routines.two geniuses whom i know of also wrote about the power of doing something every day. andy warhol wrote, “either once only, or every day. if you do something once its exciting, and if you do it every day its exciting. but if you do it, say, twice or just almost every day, its not good any more.” gertrude stein made a similar point, “anything one does every day is important and anywhere one lives is interesting and beautiful.”so if theres something that you wish you did more regularly, try doing it every day; if you do something every day, take great pleasure in it.32. in the first paragraph, what does the author try to tell us?a. its easier to do the same thing every day.b. its important to do the same thing every day. c. he has a good habit of following routines.d. he enjoys the habit of following routines.33. people usually tend to break their routines because they_.a. hope to have a better reputation b. would like to get rid of the old habitc. want to have fun and excitement d. are willing to face new challenges34. which of the following statements does andy warhol probably agree to?a. doing something that is exciting. b. doing something almost every day.c. doing something every day, not only once. d. doing something every day or only once.35. which can be the best title of the passage?a. a way to form a habit b. do anything every dayc. repeat regularly d. power of everyday repetition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。 if youre looking for a challenging situation to practice your english, pick up the phone. not being able to see the other person and the body language can make the chatting difficult. 36 here are some tips to guide you through an average phone conversation in english.1greetingsevery phone call should begin with a polite greeting such as “hi, howve you been?” or “nice to hear from you”. even if youre calling a business contact for a specific purpose, itd be rude to jump right into business. 37 2getting to the pointthere always comes the point where you want to move on from friendly chatting and get down to business. what should you do in this situation? 38 however, if you are waiting to find out why someone called you, you can guide the conversation by saying “so what can i do for you?” 3interrupting without offencesometimes you may happen to be speaking with a very talkative person. 39 keep in mind when youd like to interrupt, and be sure to do it politely. for example, begin with “id like to say something here”4closing the callthis can be the trickiest part of the conversation! it may be the time to offer good wishes if its appropriate. 40 sometimes its easiest to just say you enjoyed speaking to the other person. also remember cleverly saying the word well at the beginning of a sentence can indicate youre ready to end the conversation.ause the phrase “im just calling to.” to change to the topic at hand.badditionally, you may want to confirm any plans youve made.cyou should make a little small talk at the beginning.dyoud better greet him or her in a friendly way.eso it may be difficult to get a word in.fpractice english through phone calls.gnever fear, though!第三部分 英语知识 （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） 阅读短文， 然后根据短文内容从a、b、c、d四个选项中选择最佳答案。janes mother worked on the farm from dawn till dark, which just could make ends meet. to make jane live a 41 life. mother was very careful about spending money. 42 ， jane didnt understand her. every day mother was busy with her 43 while jane was studying at school, so they had little time to enjoy themselves. one day, mother realized jane was unhappy and even 44 to her, so she decided to go 45 with jane to make jane happy. on sunday morning they went happily to the snowfield. since they were 46 in white clothes, the manager advised them to buy ski clothes. he said 47 there was an accident, they might be easily 48 in their ski clothes. mother couldnt 49 them, so she refused. then they went skiing in their white clothes. they were skiing happily on the 50 when suddenly the snowfield began to 51 . it was the snow slide(雪崩). they ran a long way and 52 the snow slide finally, but they couldnt find their way. later, a helicopter was flying above, 53 people on it couldnt see or hear them. jane was 54 because she had hurt her head seriously and 55 dropped on the snow. just then an idea struck mother. she pierced (刺破) her wrist 56 and then bright red blood dropped down on the snowfield. a red sos was on the snow. at last jane 57 , but mother died. every time i 58 the blood dropping onto the snowfield, i feel 59 . i believe anyone who hears the tragedy will 60 mother for her selfless love to her daughter. 41. a. healthy b. happy c. busy d. meaningful42. a. moreover b. however c. anyway d. though43. a. writing b. housework c. research d. work44. a. unfriendly b. loyal c. kind d. cruel45. a. skating b. dancing c. skiing d. hiking46. a. all b. both c. either d. every47. a. in case b. now that c. as though d. even if48. a. searched b. examined c. found d. caught49. a. pay b. manage c. stand d. afford 50. a. mountain b. farmland c. playground d. snowfield51. a. change b. melt c. shake d. jump52. a. passed b. escaped c. experienced d. overcame53. a. but b. so c. since d. while54. a. in despair b. in danger c. in peace d. in ruins55. a. blood b. hair c. tears d. jewels56. a. carefully b. slowly c. immediately d. hardly57. a. cried b. died c. survived d. woke58. a. find out b. think of c. suffer from d. come across59. a. satisfied b. curious c. anxious d. painful60. a. envy b. admire c. reward d. thank 第卷（非选择题，共50分）第二节 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）阅读
