with cruel interest. children laughed at him and called him ape man (猿人) because his arms practically dragged on the ground.hank went to school like other boys. his grades were good and he needed only eight years to finish his schooling instead of the usual twelve. after graduating from school, he worked his way through college. he swept floors, waited on table, or worked in one of the college offices. during all this busy life, he had been moving around on his stumps. but one day the doctor told him even the stumps were not going to last much longer. he would soon have to use a wheel chair.hank felt himself got cold all over. however, the doctor said there was a chance that he could be fitted with artificial legs(义肢). finally a leg maker was found and the day came when hank stood up before the mirror. for the first time he saw himself as he has always wanted to be - a full five feet eight inches tall. by this time he was already 26 years old.hank had to learn to use his new legs. again and again he marched the length of the room , and marched back again. there were times when he fell down on the floor, but he pulled himself up and went back to the endless marching. he went out on the street. he climbed stairs and learned to dance. he built a boat and learned to sail it.when world war ii came, he talked the red cross into giving him a job. he took the regular training. he marched and drilled along with the other soldiers. few knew that he was legless. this was the true story of hank viscardi, a man without legs.21. children laughed at hank and called him ape man because _.a. he didnt talk to them b. he kept away from themc. his arms touched the ground when he moved d. he couldnt use his arms22. it can be inferred from the story that five feet eight inches tall is _.a. an average height for a fully grown person b. too tall for an average person c. too short for an average person d. none of the above23. the sentence “he talked the red cross into

to accept help from othersbcheating can happen in a lot of different ways. when people cheat, its not fair to other people, like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a gamemany people like the action of cheating. it makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. but it doesnt solve the problem of not knowing the material and it wont help on the next test-unless the person cheats again.some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. the cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. and, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too.some kids cheat because theyre busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. other kids might feel like they cant pass the test without cheating. even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, cheating isnt a good idea.if you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldnt study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. and if you dont have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school.a kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions together. talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.25.the author thinks that when kids cheat in class, _.a. it is unfair to other people b.

talked with me about his career goals and the difficulty of being at work on nights, weekends and holidays. he said he hadnt enough time to be with his family. after 15 minutes, he saw some customers

ink bottle, pens, and white paper, i decided that the act of writing must be a most wonderful thing in the world.years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “but the desk,” she said again, “is for elizabeth.”i never saw her angry, never saw her cry. i knew she loved me; she showed in action. but as a young girl, i wanted to have heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. they never happened. and a gulf opened between us. i was “too emotional(易动感情的)”. but she lived “on the surface(表面)”.as years passed and i had my own family. i loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. i wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.my hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace - it seemed that nothing happened. i couldnt be sure that the letter had even got to mother. i only knew that i had written it, and i could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.but the present of her desk told me, as shed never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. i cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside - a

is the difference between happy people and unhappy people? 36 read the following list of things that happy people do differently from unhappy people and you will know. well, i can tell you for sure that those people who are really happy, fear less and love a lot more. they see each moment, each challenge, each person as an opportunity to discover more about themselves and the world around them. 37 happy people understand that you cant really change a situation by resisting（反抗）it. but they can feel better by understanding that there might be a reason for its existence（存在）. 38 but rather, they ask themselves questions like: what can i learn from this? how can i make this better? they always seem to be pleasant and hopeful no matter what happens to them. they do the things they do because of the meaning it brings into their lives and because they get a sense of purpose by doing so. 39 they care more about living a life full of meaning rather than, what in our modern society we would call, living a successful life. the fact here is that most of the time they get both, success and meaning, just because they choose to focus on doing the things they love the most. 40 they make sure that their actions bring meaning and happiness in the lives of many. they look for ways to give and to share the best of themselves with the world and to make other people happy. a. they have an ideal living and a balanced life. b. what are the things that these people do differently? c. they are kind to themselves and others and they understand the power of love. d. the things happy people do are not for themselves, but for the good of others. e. they are ready to embrace whatever lies in front of them. f. they understand that “doing what you love is the most important for living a full life”. g. when something unpleasant happens to them, they dont try to fight it, knowing that this will make the situation even worse.第ii卷（非选择题）三、短文改错（共10处错误，每改对1处1分，共10分）
