He was from the USA. He was born in 1835. He was also a famous speaker. He was famous for his sense of humour. Many people liked to listen to him talk because he liked to tell some interesting stories to make people laugh all the time. One day Mark Twain was going to a small town because of his writing. Before he was going to leave, one of his friends said to him that there were always a lot of mosquitoes in the town and told him that hed better not go there. Mark Twain waved (摇动) his hand and said, “It doesnt matter. The mosquitoes are no relatives of mine. I dont think they will come to visit me.” After he arrived at the town, Mark Twain stayed in a small hotel near the station. He went into his room, but when he was just about to have a rest, quite a few mosquitoes flew about him. The waiters felt very sorry about that. “Im very sorry, Mr. Mark Twain. There are too many mosquitoes in our town.” One of them said to him. Mark Twain, however, made a joke, saying to the waiter, “The mosquitoes are very clever. They know my room number. They didnt come into the wrong room.” What he said made all the people present laugh heartily. But that night Mark Twain slept well. Do you know why? That was because all the waiters in the hotel were driving the mosquitoes away for him during the whole night. 36. That day Mark Twain went to the town_. A. to see one of his friends B. because he wanted to do something there for his writing C. because he was told there were a lot of mosquitoes there D. to see one of his relatives 37. The waiters felt sorry because_. A. they did something wrong to Mark Twain B. their hotel was too small C. the room was not very clean D. there were quite a few mosquitoes in Mark Twains room 38.

A. no mosquitoes troubled Mark Twain in the night B. the owner of the hotel told the waiters to look after Mark Twain well at night C. Mark Twain didnt have a good rest that night D. there were not mosquitoes in the hotel any longer (B) It was a winter morning， just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars， Trevor， my husband， had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival， he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor， he returned to find his bike gone. The bike， a black Kona 18 speed， was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work， putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries （食品杂货）， saving us from having to walk along long distances from where we live. I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that， several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike， then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before. People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another， but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity （人性） as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we， too， can share with others. No matter how big or how small， an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.40. Why was the bike so important to the couple？A. They used it for work and daily life. B. It was their only possession （财产）.C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed. D. The mans job was bike racing.41. We can infer from the passage that _. A. the couple worked 60 hours a week B. people were busy before Christmas C. the stranger brought over the bike D. life was hard for the young family42. How did people get to know the couples problem？ A. From a stranger. B. From a newspaper. C. From TV news D. From radio broadcasts.43. What do the couple learn from their experience？ A. Strangers are usually of little help. B. One should take care of their bike. C. News reports make people famous. D. An act of kindness can mean a lot. 44. From this story， we can see humanity is _. A. selfish B. commercial C. kind D. cold-hearted (C)If you have ever been discouraged because of failure, please read on. Usually, achieving what you set out to do is not the important thing. Let me explain.Two brothers decided to dig a deep hole behind their house. As they were working, a couple of older boys stopped by to watch.“What are you doing?” asked one of the visitors.“We plan to dig a hole all the way through the earth!” one of the brothers answered excitedly.The older boys began to laugh, telling the younger ones that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible. After a long silence, one of the diggers picked up a jar full of spiders, worms and a lot of insects. He removed the lid and showed the wonderful contents to the visitors who were laughing at them. Then he said quietly and confidently, “Even if we dont dig all the way through the earth, look what we found along the way!”Their goal was far too difficult, but it made them dig. And that is what a goal is forto make us move in the direction we have chosen. In other words, it sets us to digging!But not every goal will be fully achieved. Not every job will end successfully. Not every hope will come to pass. Not every love will last. But when you fall short of your aim, perhaps you can say, “Yes, but look at what I found along the way! Look at the wonderful things which have come into my life because I tried to do something!” And I believe it is the joy in the journey, in the end, that truly matters.45. The writer told us the story to _ .A. advise us to treats our failures fairly B. persuade us to make an aim for our livesC. encourage us to learn from the two brothers D. prove that failure helps us make achievements46. Whats the best title of the passage?A. Failure is the mother of success. B. When there is a will, there is a way.C. No pains, no gains. D. Joy in the journey.47. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Digging a hole all the way through the earth is impossible.B. The writer thinks that the two brothers will reach their goal one day.C. A goal is something that makes us want to dig holes. D. Everyone can succeed if he sets a practical goal. （D）We start forming impressions of people we meet from the moment we set eyes on them. A large part of the first impression that you create comes from your body language. Your facial expressions ,eye contact, hands and posture(姿势) speak louder than your words.FaceThe face is the most expressive part of the body. If you are feeling anxious then your facial expression may lead you to appear cold, or unhappy. You can break this misrepresentation by trying to smile. Your smile is one of the strongest tools you have in meeting new people. It will help you appear warm, friendly and confident.EyesOur eyes give clues to our emotions. Making very little eye contact can either show shyness or fear. Looking at others says that you are interested, friendly, and at ease.HandsYour hands are also very expressive. Open gestures tend to make you appear open and honest. By pointing your finger, or moving your hands closer together, you can draw attention to what you are saying. Used properly, hand gestures can make you seem friendly. Making too many gestures can make you appear uncontrolled. Touching your sleeves, face, etc. can make you appear tense, nervous, and sometimes dishonest.PostureYour posture makes a big contribution to your body language and shows your level of self-confidence. By falling away from them or leaning back, you show a lack of interest. When we are feeling low in confidence and want to hide away, keep our heads down. Your posture gives not only signals about your interest in something but also clues showing your status within a group. In summary, our face, eyes, hands and posture express what is going on inside of us. Using good body language can bring up our level of self-confidence.48. According to the passage, the first impression you give others comes from your _. A. words B. looks C. attitude D. body language49. The underlined word “misrepresentation” in the second paragraph probably means _.A. the wrong impression B. uncomfortable atmosphereC. unfriendly behavior D. a situation that one cant bear 50. Which of the following is the good effect for you to use your body language?A. It gives clues about your status within a group.B. It conveys what you are really feeling. C. It brings up your level of self-confidence.D. It gives signals about your interest in something.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。(E)Taking good notes is a time-saving skill that will help you to become a better student in several ways . 51 Second , your notes are excellent materials to refer to when you are studying for a test .
