From 1893 he lived with his family in a house in Austin，Texas，which is now a museum. Visitors to Austin can see the house. It was saved from destruction (破坏) and turned into a museum in 1934.The museum is a good way to learn about the interesting life of the American writer.William Porter rented this house in Austin and lived there with his wife Athol and daughter Margaret for about two years. Many objects in the museum came from the Porters. Others did not. An important piece in the room is the original photo over here. It was taken there in the house about 1895.The piano there dates back to the 1860s.His wife took lessons on it when she first moved to Austin.Porter wasnt a successful writer in the beginning. He worked on a farm，in a land office and bank. He also loved words and writing. The museum has a special proof (证明) of Porters love of languagehis dictionary. It is said that he had read every word in that dictionary.Later William Porter was forced to leave Austin because he was charged (指控) with wrongdoing at the bank and lost his job. Because he was afraid of a trial (审判)，he left the country secretly. But he returned because his wife was dying. After her death，he faced the trial and served three and a half years in a prison in Ohio.William Porter would keep his time in prison a secret. But there was one good thing about it. It provided him with time to write. By the time he was freed，he had published 14 stories and became wellknown as OHenry. Porter later moved to New York City and found great success there. He published over 180 stories in the last eight years of his life.12O.Henrys house in Austin has been well kept so that AAmericans can study its historyBmore visitors will be attracted to AustinCvisitors can learn about OHenrys lifeDit can show the way of life in the 1860s13Visitors can know that Porter was fond of language by Aa dictionary he usedBthe records the museum keepsCthe books he wroteDthe photo the museum shows14Why did Porter escape from Austin?AHe didnt want to lose his job.BHe didnt want to make trouble.CHe meant to save his wifes life.DHe was afraid of being put into prison.15From the last paragraph we know that APorter suffered a lot in prisonBPorter became famous suddenlyCPorter spent his time in prison writingDlife in prison provided what Porter could write阅读填句(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。We often focus on building relationships with others that we forget the essential first step：being friends of ourselves. 16 How can we have good relationships with others if we dont even have good relationships with ourselves?The problem might be worse than we expect.Maybe we dont like ourselves without realizing it.Here is a simple checklist：Is there anything you dont like about yourself from these lists?Your past：Maybe you have made mistakes in the past which you feel bad about. 17 Even if that happened in distant past，your subconscious mind still has a reason not to like yourself.Your background：You might wish that you were born in a different family，or that you had a different background. 18 They seem to get whatever they want without working hard because of their background.Your personal traits(特点)：You might have some personality traits that you dont like.For example，you may be an introvert(内向的人) and you dont like it; you wish you were an extrovert.Others might have better achievements than you，and no matter how hard you tried，it might seem impossible for you to match them. 19 Is there anything that resonate(产生共鸣) with you？All these give reasons to you not to like yourself.That in turn makes it difficult for you to be a good friend of yourself. 20 Here are some tips：Forgive yourselfAccept things you cant changeFocus on your strengthsWrite your success storiesStop comparing yourself with othersAlways be true to yourselfAYou can do something to improve the relationships with others.BYou might then think that its because you are not smart enough or dont have enough talents.CThat is the first step if we are to have good relationships with others.DFortunately，there are always things you can do to fix the situation.EYou might be disappointed with yourself on why you make such mistakes.FSometimes you might not believe yourself.GMaybe you could not accept the fact that you are not as lucky as others.完形填空(每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。My mother asked me to go to several garage sales (宅前旧货出售) with her one cool morning.We finally 21 at a pleasant house in the woods.
