She had a good 1 , except that some of her high notes tended to sound like a gate, which someone had forgotten to 2 . Mrs. Jones was very conscious of this 3 , and took every 4 she could find to practice these high 5 . As she lived in a small house where she could not practice without 6 the rest of the family, she usually went for long walks along the country roads whenever she had time, and practiced her high notes there. Every time she heard a 7 or a person coming along the 8 , she stopped and 9 until she could no longer be heard before she started practicing again, because she was a 10 person, and because she was sensitive about those high notes. One afternoon, however, a fast, open car came up behind her so 11 and so fast that she did not hear it until it was only a few yards from her. She was singing some of her highest and most 12 notes at the time, and as the car passed her, she saw an anxious 13 suddenly come over its drivers face. He put his brakes on violently, and as soon as the car stopped, jumped out and began to 14 all his tires carefully. Mrs. Jones did not dare to tell him what the noise he had heard had really been, so he got back into his car and drove off as 15 as he had been when he stopped. 1.

Although she was the first woman _16_ had swum the English Channel in both directions, she made up _17_ mind to become the first woman to swim from Catalina Island to the California coast. _18_ sea looked like an ice bath and the fog was so thick that she could hardly see her support boats. Alongside Florence in one of the boats, her mother and her trainer offered _19_ (courage). They encouraged Florence _20_ (continue), but she asked to be pulled out with only a half mile to go. Later, she told a reporter, “If I could have seen land, I might _21_ (make) it.” It was not tiredness(疲劳) or even the cold water _22_ defeated her. She failed because she was unable to see her aim.

Their loving words were sweet, touching and surprising.My parents married on September 14, 1940, after a brief dating. She was nearly 30 and knew it was time to start a family. The handsome well-educated man who came by the office where she worked looked like a good bet. He was attracted by her figure, her blue eyes. The romance didnt last long.Seeds of difference grew almost immediately. She liked to travel; he hated the thought. He loved golf; she did not. He was a Republican, she a loyal Democrat. They fought at the bridge table, at the dinner table, over money, over the shortcomings of their parents.There was a hope that they would change once they retired (退休), and the angry winds did calm somewhat, but what remained changed itself into bright, hard bitterness. “I always thought wed ” my mother would begin, before making a detailed list of my fathers faults. The complaints were recited so often, I can repeat them by heart today. As he listened, my father would say something angrily in a low voice.It wasnt the happiest marriage, but as their 60th anniversary (纪念日) came nearer, my sister and I decided to throw a party. Sixty years was a long time, after all. Why not try to make the best of things? Wed provide the cakes, the balloons, the toasts, and theyd follow one rule: no fighting.The agreement was honored.

Suppose this passage is taken from the Readers Digest, which column do you think it is taken from? A. Everyday Heroes B. My Planet C. Turning Point D. UnforgettableCHave you ever stopped in front of a mirror to make funny faces? Guess who else does that too? Dolphins! Yup, not only do those big beautiful mammals (哺乳动物) seem to recognize themselves in mirrors, but they like to play in front of them too!Scientists always knew that Bottlenose Dolphins were very clever animals. However, the idea that animals have the ability to recognize themselves in front of mirrors has always been a question.Psychologist Gordon Gallup Jr. of the State University of New York at Albany was the first doctor to do this type of research on animals. In the 1970s, Dr. Gallup, tested chimpanzees. During the tests, the chimps examined the colored spots in mirrors and they appeared to be checking themselves out in front of the mirrors. Since then the experiment has been done on great apes, monkeys, Asian elephants and African grey parrots. They all used the mirrors as tools to guide them to hidden foods or objects, but they all failed to recognize themselves in the mirrors. Dr. Diana Reiss, a dolphin scientist for the past 20 years has created a marine mammal research program at New York Aquarium. Reiss and her colleagues organized experiments to test whether dolphins can recognize their own reflections (映像) in a mirror. A test was done in 1990 on bottlenose dolphins. The results from the test strongly suggested that self-recognition by the dolphins took place. Gallup, Reiss and a graduate student said the dolphins did a variety of repetitive head movements and self-oriented behaviors in front of a mirror.It is not a proven fact that dolphins recognize themselves in mirrors. However, because of the different way that they behave in front of mirrors, it is a strong indication (迹象) that they do.36. According to the passage, we can get to know that _.A. almost all animals can check themselves out in front of a mirrorB. scientists have found that marine mammals can recognize themselves in a mirrorC. nobody doubts that dolphins can recognize themselves in a mirrorD. it is still a question whether animals can recognize themselves in front of mirrors37. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Gordon Gallup Jr. took the lead to do research on animals ability to see themselves in a mirror.B. According to a test done in 1990, dolphins behaved themselves intelligently in front of a mirror.C. Only marine mammals could recognize themselves in the mirrors.D. Bottlenose dolphins were clever and they repeated head movements in front of the mirror.38. The underlined expression “checking themselves out” means _.A. examining themselves B. appreciating themselvesC. staring at themselves D. enjoying themselves39. Which of the following animals was NOT experimented in the research conducted by Dr. Gallup?A. Chimpanzee. B. Monkey. C. Elephant. D. Dolphin. 40. The passage is mainly about _.A. Dr. Gallup and his experiment B. dolphins and self-recognition C. a test done on dolphins in 1990 D. a marine mammal research programDRead the advertisements carefully Then answer the questions that follow41You may find the above advertisements Ain a store windowBin a school magazineCin a newspaperDon a company noticeboard42The position of a(n) needs at least 24 months of experienceAf1orist BartistCpreschool teacher Ddental nurse43Which of the following is the most important for the childcare job?ACooking skillsBChildcare experienceCThe ability to start work in two weeksDThe ability to work well with other people44The office cleaners will be required to work about hours a weekA5B10 C15 D2045What does the underlined part “this” refer to?AFlorist Artist StudioBWedding teamCParttime job in the Florist Artist StudioDA creative and trained florist with at least two years of experience第四节 信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）请阅读下列应用文及相关信息, 并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。首先，请阅读下列语言学校的信息：A.
