As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. But the more I tried, the more he pulled away. When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six failing grades for the year. In this way he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked. One night I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karls absences.” Before he could say another word I choked up (哽咽) and said sadly, “I love my son. Ive tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. Its out of my hands.” For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time.” and hung up. Karls next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. He was even on the list of the best students at school. In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting. I noticed that his teachers were surprised at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded. “That was me. I thought Id play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. Thats when I knew I had to make you proud. ( )26.

We hadnt seen each other for a few months, so I decided to start a conversation with her. My cousin is studying in a college of our city. Her hobby is surfing the Internet. Every time I am on the computer, she is always online, listening to music or decorating her “personal space”. I like visiting her space. Its creative and modern and worth a visit. I cant imagine my designing such a colorful web page.When I read the sentences she sent to me, I noticed that the Chinese characters had been changed, but I could still guess their meanings. I took a strong interest in this type of new characters. Further observation made me realize that they added some common Chinese radicals(部首) to the original characters, making them more vivid, a little like Japanese. My cousin said this gives new life to the Chinese language and culture.It is true that the Internet has reinvented our language, but I still cant accept this new cultural change. Some Chinese characters have meanings in the shapes; one shouldnt superficially change them by adding an additional radical. So I persuaded my cousin to change her new idea and use standard characters to communicate. And she willingly accepted my advice.( )31. The authors cousin was a(n) _. A. engineer B. teacher C. model D. student( )32. The author would like to visit his cousins space _.

You listen to their conversation: “I cant believe it a Lorenzo Bertolla! They are hard to find. Its much cheaper than the one Sara bought in Rome.” They leave and you go over to see this sweater. Youve never heard of Lorenzo Bertolla, but those girls looked really stylish. They must know. So, you buy it. You never realize that those young women are employees of an advertising agency. They are actually paid to go from store to store, talking loudly about Lorenzo Bertolla clothes. Every day we notice what people are wearing, driving and eating. If the person looks cool, the product seems cool, too. This is the secret of undercover marketing (秘密行销). Companies from Ford to Nike are starting to use it. It can reach people that dont pay attention to traditional advertising, for example, consumers between the age of 18 and 34. They have a lot of money to spend, but they dont believe ads. So advertising agencies hire (雇用) young actors to “perform” in bars and other places where young adults go. Some people might call this practice misleading, but marketing manager Jonathan Ressler calls it creative. “Look at traditional advertising. Its effectiveness is decreasing.”( )36. The two stylish young women were talking so that they could _. A. get the sweater at a lower price B. be heard by people around C. be admired by other shoppers D. decide on buying the sweater( )37. Lorenzo Bertolla is _. A. a very popular singer B. an advertising agency C. a clothing company in Rome D. the brand name of a sweater( )38.

The group aged 18 and 34 is easily influenced by ads. C. Traditional advertising is the only way to sell goods nowadays. D. Undercover marketing mainly aims at the group of old people.( )40. Which of the following would be the BEST title for the text? A. Two stylish shoppers B. Lorenzo Bertolla sweaters C. Fords ways of advertising D. Undercover marketing. 词汇填空(10分)A. 根据句意及括号内的汉语提示，用正确的单词填空。41. She put most of her _ (努力) into teaching.42 The girl must hide _ (在某处) and doesnt want her parents to find her.43.

If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader and an active person. Do you prefer gray and blue? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and youd rather follow than lead. You are a pessimist. At least this is what psychologists tell us. They have been studying seriously the meaning of color preference(偏爱), as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us that we dont choose our favorite color as we grow up. We are born with our preference.Colors do influence our moods. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀者) than any other bridge in the area until it was repainted green.Remember that if you feel low you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few cans of paint. Remember also that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colors they like and dislike. And dont forget that anyone can guess a lot about your personality when you choose a pair of socks or a coat.任务一：完成下面的句子（每空词数不限）。51. Color can reflect ones _.52. A leader usually prefers _.任务二：翻译文中划线句子。53. _任务三：回答问题。54. How do most people feel about a yellow room? _任务四：选择正确答案。( ) 55. At the end of the article, the writer tells us the following EXCEPT that _.A. we can cheer ourselves up by wearing new clothes of different colorsB. we can know our opponents better if we know what colors they like and dislikeC. colors can reveal what kind of person we areD. people can know more about your personality by the size of socks you choose. 综合填空（10分） 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整。Here is an interesting way to write a “secret letter”.
