阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。athat cold january night, i was growing sick of my life in san francisco. there i was， walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theatre. with opening night only a week ago, i was still learning my lines. i was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. as i walked, i thought seriously about giving up both acting and san francisco. city life had become too much for me. as i walked down empty streets under tall buildings, i felt very small and cold. i began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets. about a block from my apartment, i heard a sound behind me. i turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. the street was empty. all i saw was a shining streetlight. still, the noise had made me nervous, so i started to run faster. not until i reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did i realize what the noise had been. it had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk. suddenly i wasnt cold or tired anymore. i ran out of the door and back to where id heard the noise. although i searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found. just as i was about to give up the search, i heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me. when a voice called from the inside, “alisa camacho?” i thought i was dreaming. how could this man know my name? the door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eye. “is this what youre looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape. it was nearly 3 a.m. by the time i got into bed. i wouldnt get much sleep that night, but i had gotten my wallet back. i also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. i realized that the city couldnt be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.21. how did the writer feel when she was walking home after work?a. cold and sickb. fortunate and helpful c. satisfied and cheerful d. disappointed and helpless22. on her way home the writer _.a. lost her wallet unknowinglyb. was stopped by a garbage truck driverc. was robbed of her wallet by an armed mand. found some homeless people following her23. in the fifth paragraph, why did the writer say she was dreaming?a. someone offered to take her back home.b. a red-haired man came to see her.c. she heard someone call her name d. her wallet was found in a garbage truck.24. from the text, we can infer that the writer _.a. would stop working at nightb. would stay on in san franciscoc. would make friends with cleaners d. would give up her job at the bank.bstudents who say they never or hardly ever use dictionaries often speak english well but usually write poorly, because they make many mistakes. the students who use dictionaries most do not learn especially well either. the ones who look up every new word do not read fast. therefore they do not have time to read much. those who use small two-language dictionaries have the worst problems. their dictionaries often give only one or two words as translations of english. but one english word often has many translations in a foreign language and one foreign word has many translations in english. the most successful students are those who use large college edition dictionaries with about 100,000 words but do not use them too often. when they are reading, these students first try to get the general idea and understand new words from the context. then they reread and use the dictionary to look up only key words that they still do not understand. they use dictionaries more for writing. if they are not sure how to spell a word, or divide it into syllables (音节), they always use a dictionary. also, if they think a noun might have an unusual plural form, they check these in a dictionary.25. the writer thinks that . a. choose a good dictionary, and youll be successful in learning english b. dictionaries are not necessary to the students who learn english c. it is very important for students to use good dictionaries properly d. using dictionaries very often cant help to improve writing26. according to the passage, which of the following is wrong? a. dictionaries have little effect on learning to speak english. b. whatever new words you meet while reading, never use dictionaries. c. small two-language dictionaries have serious defects (缺陷). d. reading something for the first time, youd better not use dictionaries.27. when in the reading does the writer advise students to use a good dictionary? a. at the beginning of the reading b. at the end of the reading c. during the first reading d. after the first reading28. this passage mainly tells us . a. students shouldnt use small two-language dictionaries b. what were the defects of small two-language dictionaries c. why students should use large college edition dictionaries d. what dictionary students should choose and how to use itc“success begins with belief and ends with doubt.”larina kasei remember reading through a book and the author was writing about being a reverse paranoid(偏执狂). in that particular section he mentions how he has a belief that the world hes living in is out to give him everything he absolutely wants and desires.there are times when i think to myself，“wow，the world is out to get me and make me miserable.” then i thought，why cant i believe that the world is out to make me a better conversationalist. then i started adapting to the belief of the reverse paranoia.when i started talking to people，i truly believed that i was the most interesting person in the room. i believed that everything i said added value to the conversation. i believed that people stayed behind and chatted with me because they found me charismatic.as a matter of fact, for about five months i wrote down on my bathroom mirror the following affirmation（确定肯定的事）：“people love me and respect me. it is an honor to talk to me. people find me interesting and charming and always want to get to know me better！”i would say the affirmation after i brushed my teeth. and i would continue to say it until i felt completely great about myself. there were days that i just wouldnt feel like saying it，because it would feel like a lie to me. but thats the trouble，like the quote says，success ends when theres doubt. and thats why i continued until i had no doubt in my mind.then strange things happened，i noticed that people did find me more interesting，and that i gained more confidence in talking with people. i was more assertive(坚定自信的) at work. i was able to control politics and gossip at work to minimal levels，and became a much better manager，and developed better customer relations to the point that sales were up by 20% compared to the year before，on my best month sales were up by 39%，and this was a year that a recession was happening.29the main purpose of the author is to_.aexplain how to be a reverse paranoidbshare his personal experience in successctell us the importance of positive thinkingdadvise us how

attitude towards lifechave a strong belief in the worlddlive a miserable life31sometimes the author didnt feel like saying his affirmation because_.ait didnt work as he had expectedbhe had become enthusiastic about conversationsche had felt great about himselfdit didnt sound true to himself32we can infer from the last paragraph that the author_.adidnt believe what had happened at workbdidnt get along with others at workchad his performance at work affected by the recessiondmade great progress due to his affirmationddo you know about a series of books that say they are “for dummies”?
