Pollys son, Jim, had great difficulty in school. He was classified as the educationally disabled and required a great deal of patience on the part of his parents and teachers. But Jim was a happy kid with a great smile that lit up the room. His parents knew his academic difficulties, but always tried to help him see his strengths so that he could walk with pride. Shortly after Jim finished high school, he was killed in a motorcycle accident. After his death, his mother submitted this letter to the newspaper.Today we buried our 20-year-old son. He was killed instantly in a motorcycle accident on Friday night. How I wish I had known when I talked to him last that it would be the last time. If I had only known I would have said, “Jim, I love you and Im very proud of you.”I would have taken the time to count the many blessings he brought to the lives of the many who loved him. I would have taken the time to appreciate his beautiful smile, the sound of his laughter, his genuine love of people.When you put all the good qualities on the scale and try to balance all theirritatingphenomena such as the radio which was always too loud, the haircut that wasnt to our liking, the dirty socks under the bed, etc., your angry feelings wont amount to much.I wont get another chance to tell my son all that I would have wanted him to hear, but, other parents, you do have a chance. Tell your young people what you would want them to hear if you knew it would be your last conversation. The last time I talked to Jim was the day he died. He called me to say, “Hi, Mom! I just called to say I love you. Got to go to work. Bye.” He gave me something to treasure forever.If there is any purpose at all for Jims death, maybe it is to make others appreciate more of life and to have people, especially family members, take the time to let each other know just how much we care.You may never have another chance.21.According to the passage, we know that _.A. Jim was always ashamed of himself B. Jim did very well in his studiesC. Jims parents were patient with him D. Jim failed to finish his high school22.The underlined word “irritating” in Paragraph 4 most probably means _.A. annoying B. aggressive C. impatient D. surprising23. By writing the letter printed in thePalo Alto Times, the author intends to _.A. mourn her sons sudden death in a traffic accidentB. remind people to be cautious of motorcyclesC. tell parents to take better care of their childrenD. suggest people taking the taking to express their love in time24. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? A. Love Your Family B. Do It Today C. Walk with Pride D. Appreciate SmilesBMany of us mistakenly believe that its wrong to think we have any good qualities. We may spend a lot of time blaming ourselves for our negative qualities, thinking that self criticism is the key to improving our performance. However, a constant focus on our supposed shortcomings can stop our efforts to make friends with other people. How can we believe that others could like us if we believe our inner being is flawed?If someone seems to dislike you, the reason for that dislike might have little or nothing to do with you. The person who doesnt like you might be fearful, or shallow or busy or shy. Perhaps you and that person are simply a mismatch for each other at this particular time.Dont take yourself out of the game by deciding that your flaws are bigger than your good qualities. In fact, some of the very qualities you consider to be flaws may be irresistible to someone else. Although some factors that might cause one person to reject you, there are at least many factors that will work in your favor.You might be thirty pounds over your ideal weight, but you may have a wonderful laugh and a real enthusiasm for life. There are many people who dont mind your extra pounds. You may drive a shabby car, but you might be a great dancer and a loyal friend. There are people out therelooking for loyalty, or fun, or sweetness, or wisdom, and the package it comes in is not important. If you are worried that you are not beautiful enough to attract friends, keep in mind that not everyone is looking for physical beauty in their friends. You can decide to feel inferior because you dont have much money and you dont drive a nice car. You can believe that this is the reasonthat you dont have many friends in your life. On the other hand, if you are very wealthy you may be suspicious that everyone is after your money and that nobody really likes you as a person. The point is that you can focus on just about anything and believe its the reason you do not have friends and cannot make any.25. According to the passage,plays an important role in making friends. A. admitting your shortcomings B. self criticism C. modesty D. confidence26. If you are not liked by a person,. A. you should find the reason in yourself B. youd better talk with the person face to face C. you may not be the one to be blamed D. you and that person misunderstand each other27. We can learn from the third paragraph that. A. your good qualities may make you earn more money B. your weakness may also be your strengths in some way C. your negative qualities may cause you to lose friends D. youll have few friends if you dont like playing games28. Which of the following is true according to the author? A. It is important to lose weight. B. It is easier for a wealthy person to make friends. C. Inner qualities are more important than physical appearance. D. If you are not beautiful enough, try to improve your physical beauty.C“I like your smile, but unlike you put your shoes on my face”. A charming way of saying “Keep off the grass”. But could you figure it out? Or this: “Wash Clothing Store” for laundry. They are both typical Chinglish, a combination of English vocabulary and Chinese grammar. Expressions such as “people mountain people sea”, means extremely crowded, and “give you some color to see”, meaning a punishment, are widely known and recognized.Chinglish has been attracting global attention in recent years as China growsrapidly in status on the world stage, attracting both fans and detractors(批评者).The Beijing Speaks Foreign Languages Programme and English First China Company, a language trainer known as EF Education, jointly launched a campaign to root out poor grammar and misused vocabulary in downtown Beijing. They argue Chinglish is an embarrassment that we should let it die out at all costs.“It is meaningful , to allow the capital to show its most beautiful historical and cultural heritage to the world. Michael Lu, vice-president of EF Education said, “since the launching of the campaign, foreign teachers and students had been very keen to volunteer participation.” He believed signs were very important in public services. The signs in some old buildings confused foreign visitors.Chinglish, although the target of much criticism, has also won supporters who regard it as an interesting way for foreigners to learn how Chinese people think and express themselves.“Many Chinglish logos carry Chinese elements and they will enrich the English language,” 32-year-old Oliver Radtke said. He had even published a book “Chinglish: Found in Translation,” on the subject. About 50,000 copies of the book have been sold since it was published in 2007.Some Chinese university experts also side with Chinglish. English has absorbed elements from other languages such as French and Spanish in its growth, and the emergence of Chinglish again testifies to the languages vitality and inclusiveness, said Shi Anbin, an associate professor of Tsinghua University.29.How did Chinglish come into being?_A. Chinese people misunderstood the meaning of the new words.B. Chinese people combined English vocabulary with Chinese grammar.C. Chinese people based their English on the native English speakers.D. Chinese people make wide use of English vocabulary with bad spelling.30.What Shi Anbin said means .A. there are many French and Spanish words in EnglishB. English is the language with vitality and inclusivenessC. Chinglish enriches English and shouldnt be got rid ofD. Chinglish has greater effect on English than French and Spanish31.According to Oliver Radtke, Chinglish .A. shows how Chinese people thinkB. does damage to the English languageC. shows the great humor of Chinese peopleD. should be sold to all over the worldDSometimes you may have a strong desire to do something strange or terrible. However, chances are that you dont act on your impulse, but let it pass instead. You know that to take the action is wrong in some way and that other people will not accent your behavior. Perhaps the most interesting thing about the phenomenon oftaboobehavior is how it can change over the years, how certain behavior and attitudes once considered taboo can become perfectly acceptable and natural at another point in time. Topics such as death, for example, were once considered so upsetting that it was a taboo to even talk about them. Now with the publication of important books such asOn Death and DyingandLearning to Say Goodbye, people have become more aware of the importance of expressing feelings about death and, as a result, are more willing to talk about this taboo subject.One of the newest taboos is the topic of fat. Unlike many other taboos, fat is a topic that people talk about constantly. Its not taboo to talk about fat; its taboo to be fat. The“in” lookis thin, not fat. In the work world, most companies prefer youthful-looking, slim manager to sell their image as well as their products to the public. The thin look is associated with youth, vigor, and success. The fat person, on the other hand, is thought of as lazy and lacking in energy, self-discipline and self-respect. After all, how can people permit themselves to become fat? In an image-conscious society, thin is in”, fat is “out”.It s not surprising that millions of people have become obsessed (着迷) with staying slim and “in shape”. The pursuit of a youthful physical appearance is not, however, the only reason for peoples obsession with diet and exercise. Recent research has shown the importance of diet and exercise for personal health. As in most technologically developed nations, the life-style of people has changed since last century. Modern machines do all the physical labor. Cars and buses transport us quickly from point to point. As a result of inactivity and disuse, peoples bodies can easily become weak. In an effort to avoid such a fate , millions of people are spending more of their time exercising. Parks are filled with joggers and bicyclists, and many companies are providing special exercise equipment for their employees to use during the work day.32.What does the word “taboo refer to in the passage?_A. A crime committed on impulse.B. An unfavorable impression left on other people.C. A strong desire to do something strange or terrible.D. Behavior considered unacceptable to the society.33.What does the underlined phrase“in” lookprobably mean?A. The fashionable look. B. The hidden look.C. The usual look. D. The inside look.34. According to the passage, the common belief is that _.A. fat people are full of energy B. thin people are more successful C.fat people prefer to have fat bosses D. thin people are less image-conscious35. People pay more attention to diet and exercise because of _.A. their need to kill time B. their love for sportsC. their concern for health D. their belief in hard work 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。此题的答案请填涂在答题卡3640处。College life can become a great struggle because students have to balance school, a social life, and sometimes a job as well.
