About a week after his death, she shared some of her views with a classroom of students.As the sunlight came in through the classroom windows and the class was nearly over, she moved a few things aside on the edge of her desk and sat down there. She paused and said, “Before class is over, I would like to share with all of you a thought that is unrelated to class, but which I feel is important. Each of us comes to this world to learn, share, love, appreciate and give. None of us knows when this fantastic experience will end. It can be taken away at any moment.”Her eyes beginning to water, she went on:“So I would like you all to make me a promise. From now on, on your way to school, or on your way home, find something beautiful to notice. It doesnt have to be something you see. It could be a scent of freshly baked bread from someones house, or it could be the sound of the wind slightly rustling the leaves in the trees”The class was completely quiet. We all picked up our books and left the room silently. That afternoon, I noticed more things on my way home from school.Take notice of something special you see on your way home today. Go barefoot on the beach at sunset. For as we get older, it is not the things we did that we often regret, but the things we didnt do.21. What is the purpose of the authors writing the passage?A. To show his respect to his teacher B. To ask us to appreciate every moment of our life C. To ask us never to give in when facing difficulty D. To show the influence that a teacher has on her students22. Why did the teacher talk about something unrelated to class?A. Because she had finished her class task B. Because she could hardly control her feeling C. Because she thought the class were not thoughtful enough D. Because she wanted to share some of her views with the class23. What does the underlined word “scent” mean in Paragraph 4?A. smell B. piece C. color D. taste24. What do we learn from the last sentence? A. We will be happy when we are old. B. We will regret the mistakes that we made when we were young.C. We will regret what we didnt do though we might do it. D. We will do what we couldnt do in the past BCarrot juice, because of its many healthy benefits, is commonly called the “magic juice”. It has been found that adding carrot juice to peoples diets greatly improves their health. And its delicious taste makes it popular with all members of the family as a beverage(饮料).Carrot juice is one of the richest sources of Vitamin A that can be used in the daily diet. Lack of Vitamin A can cause dryness and damage to the skin, nails and hair. Drinking carrot juice to increase the Vitamin A in the diet is said to be good for many parts of the body, including the bones and teeth.Drinking carrot juice is thought to be extremely helpful to the liver, because Vitamin A helps to clean the liver and reduce fat in it. And it is suggested that drinking carrot juice should be done regularly, rather than just from time to time.Drinking carrot juice is also thought to improve the eyesight because of the Vitamin A in the juice. Lack of Vitamin A can lead to night blindness, which can be very dangerous, especially when the person is driving a car. An easy way to find out if you are lacking in Vitamin A is to walk from a bright room into a dark room. Your eyes may have some trouble in getting used to the changes of light if you are lacking in Vitamin A.How can you make carrot juice? Wash some carrots well in cold water. Scrape(刮) them lightly, but do not peel them, as this will take away valuable Vitamins and minerals that lie close to the skin.25. Lack of Vitamin A can lead to _.A. liver cancer B. broken bones C. complete blindness D. skin dryness26. According to the passage, carrot juice_ .A. is popular because it is a magic cure for many diseases. B. can wash away the waste from the body. C. does a lot of good to the teeth and other parts of the body. D. may be harmful to the body if it is drunk too much.27. We can learn from the fourth paragraph that _.A. you will find it easy to get used to the change of light if you lack Vitamin A. B. driving cars at night may lead to night blindness. C. walking from a bright room into a dark room may lead to night blindness. D. drinking carrot juice helps to protect your eyesight28. Whats the best title of the passage?A. Tips on How to Make Carrot Juice B. The Great Benefits of Carrot JuiceC. The Way to Keep Good Health D. A Healthy Diet for Patients CStudents decide to take a job while being in university because of two reasons: on the one hand, they need money; on the other hand, they want to experience something new and they want to see what working means.But is it good to take a job while you are a university student? There are both advantages and disadvantages if we were to answer this question. If we were to think about the advantages, we could mention the ones I have just discussed. Having a job at an early age helps us gain experience, which will be very useful to our later life. We may become financially independent and dont need to ask our parents for money each time we want to go downtown with our friends, or spend the holiday at the seaside or in the mountains.However, students who take a job might have problems in spending enough time on their study. If they work during the day, they may have to be absent from their classes, and if they work at night they will feel tired the next day. They may choose to stay at home, resting. Whats worse, some students may even get bored with study.Well, this fact happens every now and then, but there are cases where well-prepared students take a part-time job but at the same time they make time for study, too. And they have good results. Their case is a good example to follow among the students who decide to work while being in university. Anyway, we need to keep in mind that study is the most important job for a student.29. The writer believes that some college students work _.A. to learn something practical B. for pleasureC. to support their family D. for further education.30. What are the benefits for college students who take a job according to the passage?A. Make more friends B. Prepare them for their future careersC. Win free journeys D. Have complete independence from their family31. Taking a job may cause students to _.A. be absent from their examsB. lose their interest in their studiesC. be in conflict with their roommatesD. receive punishment from their teachers32. In the last paragraph, the writer implies that college students _ .A. had better take a part-time job during vacation B. should not take a jobC. can keep a balance between work and study D. should learn by doing DRome had the Forum (论坛). London has Speakers Corner. Now always on-the-go(忙忙碌碌的) New Yorkers have Liz and Bill. Liz and Bill, two college graduates in their early 20s, have spent a whole year trying to have thousands of people talk to them in subway stations and on busy street comers. And just talk. Using a 2-foot-tall sign that says, “Talk to Me,” they attract conversationalists, who one evening included a mental patient, and men in business suits. They dont collect money. They dont push religion (宗教). So whats the point? “To see what happens,” said Liz. “We simply enjoy life with open talk.” Shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks, they decided to walk from New York City to Washington, a 270-mile trip. They found they loved talking to people along the way and wanted to continue talking with strangers after their return. “It started as a crazy idea.” Liz said. “We were so curious about all the strangers walking by with their life stories. People will talk to us about anything: their job, their clothes, their childhood experiences, anything.” Denise wanted to talk about an exam she was about to take. She had stopped by for the second time in two days, to let the two listeners know how it went. Marcia had led her husband to a serious disease. “That was very heavy on my mind.” Marcia said. “To be able to talk about it to total strangers was very good,” she explained. To celebrate a year of talking, the two held a get-together in a city park for all the people they had met over the past year. A few hundred people appeared, as well as some television cameramen and reporters.They may plan more parties or try to attract more people to join their informal talks. Some publishers have expressed interest in a book, something the two say theyll consider before making a decision. 33. What did Liz and Bill determined to do after the attack on September 11, 2001? A. Telling stories to strangers. B. Setting up street signs. C. Talking with people D. Organizing a speakers party. 34. Why are Denise and Marcia mentioned in the text? A. They knew Liz and Bill very well. B. They happened to meet the writer of the text. C. They organized the get-together in the city park. D. They are examples of those who talked to Liz and Bill. 35. How do they like the idea of writing a book? A. They have decided to wait a year or two. B. They will think about it carefully C. They agreed immediately D. They find it hard to do that.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。There was a park near my home. But I didnt go there very often. Many people said there was nothing special. One afternoon, I went into the park and found it was really small. I walked quickly because there wasnt much to see. I walked for some time and found myself standing in front of two paths. 36 I found that the two paths were different from each other.The left one was wide and clean. There were lots of flowers on both sides of the path. Though the flowers werent beautiful, they made me feel good. I decided to take this path. But wait! I looked at the right one. The path didnt look nice. 37 Grass grew everywhere. For a long time, I couldnt make up my mind. 38 It wasnt nice, but I didnt want to give up. At last, I came to the end of the path. Ah! There was a small garden there. It was beautiful, perhaps the most beautiful garden I had ever seen. 39 Many people told me that there was nothing much to see in the park. Now Id like to tell them that if they had followed the right way, they would have felt differently. But when I told them about what I had seen in the park, they just smiled at me without saying a word. I knew they didnt believe me. They couldnt even remember that path because it was too small.40 Dont be afraid to choose a different path. You may get a big surprise!A. There is nothing that I want to see.B.
