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 When I was in college twenty five years ago I spent four summers working in house keeping at a hotel in downtown Chicago In other words I was a maid Each May I wore a black uniform dress working with a dust cloth I did not enter the world of housekeeping with much interest My friends had summer jobs such as making ice creams shopkeepers at the mall or a lifeguard at the outdoor pool I had been hoping to get a job as an office lady for a famous company high pay an air conditioned office as most of us dreamed of When that fell through the only chance left was to take the twenty five minute train ride downtown each morning to work as a maid during the busy summer season in Chicago It was tiring work cleaning up to eighteen rooms a day my poor attitude led to my disdain 鄙视 for clearing toilets making beds cleaning the dust eight hours a day for the comfort of strangers who seldom left a tip My maid work was average until the day I was asked to work on the eighteenth floor That was Lorena s regular floor The only time another maid set foot on it 6 was on Lorena s day off If you left any watermarks on the mirror or a hair on the bed Lorena would hunt you down when she returned She ended her lecture to me with Take some pride in your work She did And so did Rosalie Helen Annette Pearlie Earline and all of the other experienced maids Their devotion to doing a good job and their belief that their work was a reflection 反映 of their character influenced me throughout my professional career I learned a lot from them during those four summers Not a week went by without one of them offering some firm but friendly advice Where s your brush You don t have one How do you expect to get that bowl clean or You d better not use that cleanser That one will leave too much foam Don t cut corners Do the right thing Their pride in the job was reflected in how they treated themselves They left the building at the end of the day in nice dresses and carful makeup They looked like they could have been attending an afternoon tea And most often they were smiling and laughing cheerfully greeting their co workers a good evening When you work with happiness and satisfaction a job will be well done I belive there is respect in any job if you work hard and try your best 51 The author didn t show much interest in maid work mainly because A no one liked it B her classmates laughed at her C She didn t have a good attitude towards it D it couldn t help her to find her ideal work 52 The underlined phrase fell through in the third paragraph refers to A struggled fo get oneB Failed to achieve C was given upD was supposed to stop 53 The author changed her attitude towards her job because A Lorena blamed her seriouslyB Lorena helped her sincerely C Lorena s words influenced herD Lorena promised to raise her pay 54 Which of the following would be the best title for the text A Choosing a perfect job for yourself B How to deal with your unsatisfactory work C Learn to respect yourself while working D Satisfaction with a job well done B My new teacher is cool Her name is Paula so we call her Miss Paula The first time we met her she said we are going to be good friends and that 7 good friends are always nice to each other Miss Paula has been teaching us a lot of things Some of us used to get in trouble for talking in the hallway Miss Paula says she can t change the rule that we can t make noise in the hallway but we can still talk to each other She is teaching us sign language I already know how to say hello and how are you with my hands Now we love it when we have to walk somewhere and we are always quiet except for a laugh or two Miss Paula likes everybody even Sam and nobody likes Sam He never does what he s told but now he is doing better Miss Paula says every single one of us is perfect and beautiful just the way we are I guess that includes Sam This week at school was really the best ever I didn t even get in trouble when I thought I would because I spilled 洒 milk on my homework and had to turn it in when it was still wet Miss Paula just smiled and asked What s this So I told her what happened Miss Paula put it near the window to dry She said the sun had been waiting for such an important job as this and would be happy to help us Well I have to go and get ready for bed now I have school in the morning and I want to wake up early so I will have time to pick Miss Paula some flowers 55 What do we know about Miss Paula A She changed the school rules B She uses sign language in class C She is very kind to her students D She is strict with the writer 56 According to Paragraph 4 Sam A dislikes his new teacherB has made some progress C is often praised by Miss Paula D is one of the writer s best friends 57 How did the writer probably feel when he handed in his homework A Relaxed B Bored C Excited D Worried 58 We can learn from the text that the writer A loves and respects her new teacherB is a bit afraid of her new teacher C wrote this article in the morning D picked her teacher some flowers C Tiger mothers who push their children to achieve at all costs 不惜任何代价 might actually be harming their children s chances Children perform best when they are told that failure and trying again is a 8 normal part of learning Being told that failure are inferior leaves young men too afraid to deal with problem and master new things We paid attention to a traditional idea that failure equals being stupid said Frederique Autin a researcher at the University of Poitiers By being crazy about success students are afraid to fail so they don t want to take difficult step to master new things Accepting that difficulty is an important part of learning could stop the bad feeling that difficulty creates for those bad feelings could in turn affect learning Our research suggests that students will benefit 使受益 from education that gives them room to struggle with difficulty Teachers and parents should pay more attention to children s progress rather than their grades Learning takes time and each step during learning should be rewarded especially at early stages when students most likely will experience failure Autin said People usually believe that school achievement simply shows students inherent 内在的 academic ability which can be difficult to change said the University of Poitiers Jean Claude Croizet But teachers and parents may be able to help students succeed just by changing the way in which the material is presented In the first experiment with 111 French pupils aged from 11 to 12 students were given very difficult problems that none of them could solve One group was told that learning is difficult and failure is common but practice will help Children in a second group were just asked how they tried to solve the problems In the experiment the students who had been told that failure is common but practice will help did better on measurements of cognitive 认识的 abilities How students think about failure may be more important than their own success when learning difficult skills the study noted The improvement may not last long but the results showed that working memory ability may be improved simply by increasing students confidence and reducing their fear of failure 59 The underlined word inferior in Para 2 probably means A badB specialC dishonestD peaceful 60 Autin suggested that educators should A pay more attention to children s progress B try their best to help kids get higher grades C reward excellent students from time to time D help improve kids inherent academic ability 61 What s the author s attitude to Tiger mothers style of family education 9 A He was very fond of it B He felt it was worth a try C He was strongly against it D He thought it was understandable 62 What would be the best title for the text A Important rules of modern education B The importance of failure in our life C Tell your kids that failure is quite normal D Tell your kids they will be rewarded for their progress D Dear Arizona I just found out I have to wear glasses in the new school year I m afraid people will laugh at me What should I do Ryan in Gettysburg Dear Ryan As soon as I read your letter I thought of Tito He is good at almost every sport So when we were playing indoor soccer in gym class and Tito kept messing up 搞糟 I knew these was something unusual Tito told others that he couldn t see because he had something in his eye Later that day I went over to Tito at lunch and asked if his eye was feeling better And right at that moment an eyeglasses case dropped out of his backpack I didn t know Tito wore glasses I encouraged him to put them on but he refused and asked me not to tell anyone about the secret Then one day this other kid named Tyler in my class showed up wearing a pair of glasses He looked really cool Some students even wished they had a pair The next day Tito came in wearing his glasses and that was that Maybe there were a few little jokes at first but for the most part people hardly seemed to notice What people did notice though was that Tito went right back to being the best athlete around He wears special sports glasses and has no trouble keeping his eye on the ball So dear Ryan I hope you ll stop worrying If kids in your school laugh at you about your new glasses just try to ignore them Remember that the kids worth playing with are the ones who like you for who you are not what you wear Now go out there and have fun looking at the world clearly 63 What s Ryan s problem A He is unable to see clearly B He looks strange with glasses C He can t get along well with other kids D He may be laughed at for wearing glasses 10 64 According to the text in that gym class Tito A played badly B hurt his eye C broke his glassesD made his team lose 65 Tito began to wear glasses probably because A he wanted to be a cool playerB he accepted Arizona s advice C others found out his secretD Tyler s glass were accepted 66 Arizona advised Ryan to A try hard to change what he wearsB care little about others opinions C wear special sports glassesD Play with his classmates E Who doesn t have a clingy 依赖性强的 缠人的 friend You know that person who often calls texts and e mails He often needs your attention your feedback 反馈 or your help Worse yet he often gets antsy when you don

YourselfYourself SomeSome TimeTime If you really need some time for yourself or you re just tired of being the listener just explain to your friend honestly that you want or need some time of your own Even the most determined friends will understand and give you some space Of course those extremely clingy friends will still call text and e mail If that happens just reply gently that you need some time for yourself SuggestSuggest anan ActivityActivity forfor YourYour FriendFriend If you re tired of different get togethers and outing then you should advise your friend to do something alone If you both like sports you could tell your friend to have a try at the new gym If your friend likes your suggestion but insists that you go along just e
