points. he was _36_ and after thanking him for his honesty, i changed the _37_ in my records. his beaming (欢笑的) face turned to _38_. “youre lowering my grade?” he said angrily. “i would never have come in _39_ ”he didnt finish the _40_, but it was obvious that his display of honesty was false. he thought hed have it allpraise and the _41_ grade.several colleagues thought i should have let the higher grade _42_ because all id accomplished was to discourage him from being _43_ in the future. and every time i tell this _44_, some people agree with this remark.but i cant see how i could give good _45_ for worsening my mistake in grading by undermining (损害) the honesty of all my grades by failing to _46_ an error. the grade itself would be a dishonest _47_ of his knowledge and it would have been _48_to other students. how could i possibly give a student a gift of an_49_ grade?i know _50_ reporting an error in ones favor is unusual, but, like _51_ extra change, its clearly the right thing to do. people of character, those with real honesty, hate to give up benefits as _52_ as anyone else. the difference is that for them a good conscience and reputation is _53_enough to give reason for the cost of doing the right thing.perhaps lowering the students grade did _54_ him from being honest in the future, but bribing (贿赂) him to be honest so that he does the right thing when its cost-free would have _55_him even more. the duty to be honest is about right and wrong, not risks and rewards.36. a. wise b. right c. rigid d. angry37. a. file b. note c. name d. grade38. a. grief b. shock c. happiness d. silence39. a. whether b. which c. if d. what 40. a. sentence b. word c. exam d. lesson41. a. higher b. lower c. more d. less42. a. move b. stand c. change d. drop43. a. brave

三、阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）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。aas we all know, getting benched in sports is usually a bad thing. but at one school in florida, a girl has taken a bench and turned it into something entirely different a place to find friends. its called the friendship bench. and its the brainchild of a sixth grader at palm bay elementary a girl named acacia woodley.acacias attitude toward life might be summed up best by a question she recently asked members of the brevard county school board “what if we spend as much time putting the spotlight on kindness as we do on cruelty?” its a philosophy acacias has learned to live her own life -despite having a lot of people would consider a handicap. she was born without a right hand. and her left hand did not form properly. but acacia says that she has not stopped her from achieving her goals. “you need to believe in your dreams. if you dont believe in you dreams, i can definitely tell you that they are not going to come true.” she said. acacia came up with the idea for the friendship bench after seeing kids getting bullied at school. she says she has also experienced bullying herself kids whispering about her or picking on her because she is different. “some people say they feel sorry for me. i tell them not to,” she said. “i dont care that im different. i like being different.”the friendship bench looks like a lot of other benches. it has arm sets and a place to lean on. but there are also words painted on it words such as “hope”, “respect”, “listen” and “dream”. acacia put the benches together with the help from her mother and brother.any time a kid feels he or she needs a friend, all that kid needs to do is sit on the bench. it is then up to the other kids or grown-ups to fill that need. “its a perfect idea,” palm bay elementary principal lori said. “its something weve needed so badly.”the friendship bench has been such a success at palm bay elementary that other schools are now interested in installing one too. “theres a saying in my teachers classroom,” acacia said. “it says, it you can dream it, you can achieve it.”56. what is the function of the first sentence in paragraph one?a. to explain the meaning of getting benched is sports.b. to introduce the important role “bench” plays in sports.c. to introduce what the author wants to say in the text to us.d. to tell us that the passage is connected with the word “bench”.57. what can be learned about acacia from the passage?a. she is disabled but leads an active life.b. she has a deep understanding of life.c. she finds it difficult to achieve her goals.d. she finds herself always in need of help.58. which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?a. acacia has also suffered from other kids bullying.b. the kids who sit on the bench feel they need friends.c. grown-ups are allowed to offer their help to the one in need.d. the friendship bench is different from others in the arm sets.59. what can we infer from the passage?a. more friendship benches will be installed in other schools soon.b. students stop bullying other schoolmates at palm bay elementary.c. the students at palm bay elementary have become more friendly.d. acacia has become a very important figure at palm bay elementary.60. what is the best title of this passage?a. acacias new inventionb. the friendship bench c. help from a special benchd. getting benched in schoolb“i pity the empress. poor empress.” “do you think zhen huan really loves the emperor?” from campuses to offices, from shopping malls to the streets, talk about legend of zhen huan is everywhere.unlike other long tv series, legend of zhen huan, the 76-episode qing dynasty drama series, has kept attracting new audiences along the way. it has enjoyed widespread popularity on the chinese mainland over the past months.the story is seemingly the same as those dramas which look into the lives of women in the imperial palace. it focuses on plots and intrigues(阴谋) within the inner palace during emperor yongzhengs reign.the heroine, zhen huan, initially a kind and innocent young lady, enters the emperors harem(后宫) of concubines. discovering that the palace is a cruel and harsh place, zhen learns how to survive on her own. however, legend of zhen huan seems to arouse more discussion than any drama series. why? some experts say its because its a well-made series from inside out.niu hanting, deputy editor-in-chief of art panorama magazine, told xinhua news agency that the sets, props and costumes are carefully chosen. and the screenplay and dialogue are well-written. “the series takes care of every detail a good period drama should have,” niu said. “from that aspect, its no coincidence that zhen huan could be big.” more importantly, niu added, the tv series strikes a chord among audiences in different ways. “for example, as a woman, zhen is hurt by the man she once loved. and as a newcomer to the palace, she finds herself caught in the fierce infighting and she has to survive,” niu said, “everyone may find themselves in zhens position at a certain point.”then its not hard to understand why the story of zhen huan is even seen as a survival guide for newcomers in the workplace. its director, zheng xiaolong, once admitted that in terms of society today, the “promotion” of zhen huan reflects a persons career path in some way. “whether the principles can be applied in todays society, or not, i want to make the story as real as possible,” zheng told s. “there are many fairytale-like series that make audiences ignore or avoid reality, and the complexity of humanity.” “but legend of zhen huan, is a series that makes you think.”61. whats the main idea of the first paragraph?a. people have pity on the empress. b. zhen huan really loves the emperor.c. legend of zhen huan is very popular. d. legend of zhen huan is shown everywhere.62. what does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 most probably refer to?a. the imperial palace. b. the life of women.c. emperor yongzhengs reign. d. the story of zhen huan.63. when legend of zhen huan finds the palace is a cruel one, she _.a. learns to survive on her own b. asks others for advicec. feels down and disappointed d. becomes an innocent young lady64. we can learn from niu hanting that she _.a. thinks zhen has had effects on newcomers b. makes little of legend of zhen huanc. speaks highly of legend of zhen huan d. wants newcomer to follow zhens example65. this text is most probably taken from a(n) _. a. textbook b. newspaper c.advertisement d. story bookcthere are two types of people in the world. although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. this arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.people who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. they enjoy all the cheerful things. those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. by their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. if this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. the intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. it grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. the habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. i hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit. although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. this frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. if they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. if they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. these should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. if they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact(接触) with them. otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels. 66. people who are unhappy _.a. always consider things differently from othersb. usually misunderstand what others think or sayc. always discover the unpleasant side of certain thingsd. usually are affected by the results of certain things67. the phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means “_”.a. make others unhappy b. tend to scold others openlyc. have a good taste with social life d. enjoy the pleasure of life68. we can conclude from the passage that _.a. we should pity all such unhappy peopleb. people can get rid of the habit of unhappinessc. such unhappy people are dangerous to social lifed. unhappy people can not understand happy persons69. if such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should _.a. prevent any communication with them b. show no respect and politeness to themc. persuade them to recognize the bad effectsd. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes70. in this passage, the writer mainly _. a. describes two types of peopleb. laughs at the unhappy peoplec. tells people how to be happy in lifed. suggests the unhappy people should get rid of the habits of unhappinessd in times of economic crisis, americans turn to their families for support. if the great depression is any guide, we may see a drop in our skyhigh divorce rate. but this wont necessarily represent an increase in happy marriages. in the long run, the depression weakened american families, and the current crisis will probably do the same. we tend to think of the depression as a time when families pulled together to survive huge job losses. by 1932, when nearly one-quarter of the workforce was unemployed, the divorce rate had declined by around 25% from 1929. but this doesnt mean people were suddenly happier with their marriages. rather, with incomes decreasing and insecure jobs, unhappy couples often couldnt afford to divorce. they feared neither spouse could manage alone. today, given the job losses of the past year, fewer unhappy couples will risk starting separate households. furthermore, the housing market meltdown will make it more difficult for them to finance their separations by selling their homes. after financial disasters family members also tend to do whatever they can to help each other and their communities. a 1940 book “the unemployed man and his family”, described a family in which the husband initially reacted to losing his job “with tireless search for work.” he was always active, looking for odd jobs to do. the problem is that such an impulse is hard to sustain. across the country, many similar families were una
