Suddenly she saw something shining in the stream. When she came close, she found it was a precious stone. She put the stone into her bag and went on with her trip.The next day the old woman met a young man, who was also a traveler in the mountains. The young man looked very hungry, so the old woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked carefully, “The stone is beautiful. Would you like to give it to me?” “Sure. Why not?” the woman said, and handed the stone to him. The young man left happily with the stone. He knew it was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime. But a few days later he came back to return the stone to the woman. “Ive been thinking,” he said. “I know how valuable the stone is, but I give it back and hope that you can give me something even more precious. Give me what you have within your bag.” The woman opened her bag. It was almost empty. She looked at the young man and smiled, “I have nothing special in my bag, but I do have something precious the joy of giving!”The young man felt ashamed and left silently.21.

Which of the following would be the best title of the passage? A. A special stoneB. The joy of givingC. A woman and a young manD. An experience in the mountainsBUsually, legends are stories of events from long ago. Urban legends, on the other hand, are stories in the recent past, perhaps even last week! Urban legends are that there are many different versions (版本) of the same story, with local information changed to make the story seem more real. Today, the Internet has become a common way for urban legends to spread very quickly. A good example of an urban legend is the story of the girl who was killed by her jeans. In the 1980s, it was popular to wear very tight jeans. At that time, Levis sold special jeans that shrank (缩水) when you washed them. According to the story, a girl wanted to make her jean as tight as possible, so she wore them in the water. Unluckily, they shrank so much that the girl died. In fact, this legend came from a Levis advertisement on TV. In the TV ad, a man stepped into the water and his tight jeans became the right size. However, some stories that sound like urban legends really come from real events. For example, there is a story about muggers (抢劫者) using snakes to rob people. There have been real reports about this. The muggers hold a snake in a persons face and then take the persons money. According to the legend, these muggers are very common, so you should keep an eye out for strangers carrying snakes. 25. Whats the main idea of the passage? A. It tells readers some surprising stories.B. It tells readers what urban legends are.C. It tells readers how to make up urban legends.D. It tells readers a TV ad. 26. The passage tells us that urban legends _. A. usually take place in the country, or in small towns B. have the same version in different places C. none of them come from real events D. are immediately known because of the Internet 27. What happened to the girl in the jeans story? A. She shrank.B. She played a part in a TV ad.C. Her jeans became too small.D. A man stepped into the water, too. 28. Which story in the passage really happened? A. The dog in the microwave. B. The dead man in the office.C. The girl killed by her jeans.D. The muggers using snakes.CFor many people in the US, sports are not just for fun.

Children dream big dreams, but there are three barriers to realizing dreams. They often kill them before they ever have a chance to grow. The SelfImmediately following the birth of a big dream, a negative self-talk takes over and gives all the reasons why it cannot happen. This inside voice is the ego(自我). Its there for protecting and should be listened to. 37 Most people are influenced by the inside voice. Thats why only a handful of people make their dream come true. 38 Family and friends are a lot like the ego. They want to protect those they love, so they will often list all the reasons why the big dreams wont come true. Sometimes, family and friends destroy dreams of those they love most, out of their own fear of being left behind.The WorldIf one gets past the first two barriers, one has to face the world. 39 In the past, big dreamers were locked up and sometimes even killed when they were shown to the world. Fortunately, in most of the world today, big dreamers just get laughed at. The way to realize a big dream is with confidence and action. When children have confidence and then take action, they will be ready to accept any failure. The truth is that every great dreamer whose dreams have never seen the light of success knows failure well. 40 A. Family and FriendsB. How Big Dreams Die C. Does a big dream show ones future ?D. They simply fail until they succeed.E. It is the last and the most terrible barrier.F. Sometimes it is right, but more often it is wrongG. And their big dream is to be a rock star or a famous artist.第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分，满分30分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B, C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。When I came out of my office, it was dark.
