Therefore how you spend your dash is important Recently I 36 about a little girl named Hope After learning more about her life I couldn t help but feel it was not by 37 nor happenstance that she had been named Hope The strong feeling of sympathy and generosity 38 in her young heart made a lasting impression on me and countless others 39 I never had the opportunity to meet her I wish I had It seems as though she was wise beyond her tender years and very very special Hope was a twelve year old girl who was 40 a wish in early December 2010 by the Make A Wish Foundation after being 41 that she had a rare type of bone cancer However when she found out that more than 150 42 in her area were waiting for their wishes to be granted 实现 she unselfishly used her wish to 43 that those children have their wishes granted She also asked tW it be done 44 January 16 2011 Unfortunately however the organization informed her that her 45 request could not be granted as the funds 资金 were simply 46 They calculated that they would need to raise more than one 47 dollars in thirty days in order to grant her wish 48 but not discouraged she turned her disappointment into an enthusiasm that inspired caring 49 to take up helping grant the wishes of the other children and eventually 50 as well Newspaper columnists and reporters for radio and TV stations 51 the story of this caring young girl who had 52 the hearts of so many and as word spread the community was challenged Committees were fanned and schools corporations and various organizations assisted in 53 money to help make Hope s dream come true Her efforts were not in vain as they continue to help others not only 54 but spiritually and emotionally as well At the gathering to celebrate her life A Celebration of Hope on January 16

第三部分 阅读理解 共两节 满分 40 分 第一节 共 15 小题 每小题 2 分 共 30 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 A A motivational strategy that parents can employ with their kids is to frame tasks and responsibilities in the context of what the end benefit is for them I call this strategy WIIFM What s in it for me When a teen can combine an understanding of WIIFM with a sense of passion about achieving a goal barriers will start to fall away At our teen summer camps we arrange an event near the end of the 10 day session that helps campers identify an important life goal and mentally break through their biggest barrier to achieving the goal We pass around 12 by 12 inch pine boards We tell campers that this activity is not about breaking a piece of wood It s about how you can get what you want in your life It s about breaking barriers to grab on to your goals They have the power to break through any barrier It has nothing to do with body size or physical condition The skinniest smallest teens will break through the board almost as easily as the big ones We talk to the campers about the reasons they might have had for not reaching their goals in the past Maybe they got lazy and decided it wasn t worth the effort Maybe they failed and let their fear of failure hold them back But this exercise is about putting the past where it belongs Today is about making new choices By this point in the program we ask them to think of the goal they ve set or themselves and write their goals on the boards Then they write the possible obstacles which may hold them back on the opposite sides An inch of pine now stands between them and their dreams The facilitators and their teammates gather around The support is strong One by one they break through the barriers and grab their goals All 用心 爱心 专心 6 around us teens are laughing crying hugging and holding up the broken pieces of their boards The confidence shown on their faces is beautiful While arranging such an activity in one s home is almost unrealistic for parents the value of helping a teen break through a personal hairier simply by being there as moral support can not be overestimated More help for parents in the form of videos and articles is available at our website in our blogs and in a monthly e newsletter 56 The 12 by 12 inch pine boards are used as A materials to test one s muscles B signs of goals in one s life C assessments to show one s progress D symbols of barriers in one s life 57 We can learn from the passage that through the event the campers A become hard working B get moral support C gain confidence D set right goals 58 Which is the best title for the passage A The Power of WIIFM B What s in It for Me C The Importance of Goals D Motivational Strategies 59 The passage is intended for A teens B parents C campers D tutors B Service Foods makes it easier for cooks to reduce mealtime complaints Service Foods is so confident that they can reduce complaints in fact that the company is offering a series of mealtime complaint reduction tips According to a representative of Service Foods complaints can occur when busy cooks serve substandard low quality meats As products sit in packaging in the meat case at the store the meat can age out too much The natural flavor disappears and it can be replaced with an undesirable strange flavor According to Service Foods complaints from children are common when you serve substandard meats Kids may not have the words to describe why they don t like the meats but they re certainly willing to express their displeasure By serving meats from Service Foods complaints can be reduced Service Foods meats are all natural and organic meaning the meats have no chemicals or water or colorings that could change the taste And the meats are flash frozen right after cutting so they won t taste strange to your children If you re facing different types of complaints Service Foods may still be able to help you Some families have mealtime boredom The same meals served in the same way week after week can be incredibly boring and hard to look forward to When it comes to these complaints Service Foods has the answer right on the web Just go to http www servicefoods com and you ll find a long list of recipes to try Some of these recipes are made in demonstration format so you can watch the video and get step by step instructions on how to 用心 爱心 专心 7 prepare the meals By following these recipes from Service Foods complaints relating to boredom can certainly be reduced While Service Foods knows complaints at mealtime can never be totally eradicated as picky kids will always be picky kids with concerns the company is doing everything possible to deal with the problem and get cooks the help they need 60 Service Foods can solve mealtime boredom by A serving flash frozen meat B expressing children s complaints C instructing different ways of cooking D supplying natural food without chemicals 61 The underlined word eradicated in the last paragraph can be replaced with A covered B removed C reduced D accepted 62 From the passage we can learn that Service Foods can do the following EXCEPT A cook food for picky kids B teach how to prepare meals C provide natural and organic meat D help reduce complaints about foods 63 What will the readers probably do after reading the passage A Pay for Service Foods service B Buy organic meat from now on C Write recipes for Service Foods D Answer complaints on the web C To whom it may concern This letter describes the worst travel experience I have ever had The problems we had were the result of poor management and thoughtless employees Your airline should be ashamed of treating its customers so poorly On January 5 we arrived in Denver from Houston and checked in for our next flight It wasn t long before the agent announced that our flight would be delayed because of a mechanical problem The equipment was in Aspen and they expected it to be repaired soon Soon shortly turned to much later and during the delay weather temporarily closed the Aspen airport The weather cleared in Aspen and the plane took off very late for Denver While it was in the air the agent announced that the plane would be used for the next flight and that our flight was being cancelled This cancellation struck me as being unfair There was a mad scramble 争先 恐后 as the 50 or so passengers scheduled for our flight fought for seats on later flights When the dust settled we were wait listed on the 9 00 flight the next morning We had to spend the night in the airport 用心 爱心 专心 8 Coming home was no better Because of a mechanical problem it looked like we would miss our connection in Denver The agent assured us they would hold the Newark flight for us Needless to say the flight to Houston taxied out as we pulled into the gate Arrangements were made for us to take the next flight so we sat in the airport for 5 hours When we finally arrived in Houston our skis were missing As of this writing the skis have not been found Nothing you can do will make us feel better about our flights If you are a responsible business however you will do what you can to see that passengers in the future are treated better With great displeasure Phyllis Dooley 64 When Phyllis wrote her letter she felt A tired B fooled C annoyed D ashamed 65 What was Phyllis destination when she left home on January 5 A Denver B Houston C Aspen D Not mentioned 66 What happened to Phyllis on her day coming home A She took a taxi to Houston airport B Her flight to Houston was cancelled C Her flight was delayed for five hours D She missed her connection in Denver D It is football time again Currently the qualifying rounds are being played to decide which countries will send teams to the next World Cup Some Soccer is becoming more and more popular on a worldwide scale and these qualifying legs are causing much excitement The game is popular at club level as well Many fans go every week to support their teams whether the event is a home or away one hoping to get a result They all hope an attacking game with a lot of goals being scored Obviously they do not want to see a boring defensive match where the players are aimlessly passing the ball to each other Sadly not all the action always takes place on the ground All too frequently there is action in the stands too Football supporters most of whom declare their loyalty by wearing their team colors in the form of shirts are not known for their quiet behavior They are often very noisy shouting noisy encouragement to their team and singing deafening songs There is much rivalry between supporters Mostly this is good natured but trouble can easily arise Fans get angry if they feel that a referee has made a wrong decision perhaps giving one of their team a red or yellow card unfairly or perhaps failing to notice a foul committed by a member of the other team When trouble breaks out in a football crowd it can be difficult to control Stadium officials often seat the opposing fans in separate parts of the ground as a precaution against fighting However preventing trouble is more difficult outside the ground In the worst cases riot 暴乱 police have to be called in 用心 爱心 专心 9 Unfortunately there are some fans who enjoy this violent aspect of football These football hooligans 流氓 really enjoy a running battle with the police and call up other people to throw stones and bottles at them They regard football not only as a sport but as an excuse for trouble makings Inevitably their behavior spoils the reputation of the game 67 The qualifying rounds are played to A make the game more excitingB attract soccer fans at club level C raise funds for the organization D select the teams for the next rounds 68 What do football fans hope to see A A home game B A defensive game C An exciting game D An evenly matched game 69 Riot police are called in A to stop lighting occurring outside the ground B to separate the opposing fans inside the ground C as a precaution against trouble inside the ground D as a precaution against lighting outside the ground 70 It is implied in the last paragraph that A football has a poor reputation B football hooligans are crazy about the games C football fans enjoy spoiling games D football can be an excuse for troublemaking 第二节 共 5 小题 每小题 2 分 共 10 分 根据短文内容 从短文后的七个选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项 选项中有两项为 多余选项 Leap Year Leap year is a
