you is that you won t put yourself in my place Can t you see things from my point of view I shook my head stubbornly and felt the ache in my tooth I d thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday but the pain was really unbearable I started calling the dentists in the phone book but no one could see me immediately Finally at about lunchtime I got lucky If you come by right now the receptionist said the dentist will fit you in I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice Why wasn t he as busy as the others In the dentist s office I sat down and looked around I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice cold one When I told her my fears she laughed and said Don t worry The dentist is very good How long do I have to wait for him I asked impatiently Come on he is coming Just lie down and relax And enjoy the artwork the assistant said The artwork I was puzzled The chair went back Suddenly I smiled There was a beautiful picture right where I could enjoy it on the ceiling How considerate the dentist was At that moment I began to understand what my friend meant by her words 5 What a relief 56 Which of the following best describes

while the iron is hot B Have a good word for one s friend C Put oneself in other s shoes D A friend in need is a friend indeed B B In my living room there is a plaque 匾 that advises me to Bloom 开花 where you are planted It reminds me of Dorothy I got to know Dorothy in the early 1980s when I was teaching Early Childhood Development through a program with Union College in Barbourville Kentucky The job responsibilities required occasional visits to the classroom of each teacher in the program Dorothy stands out in my memory as one who bloomed in her remote area Dorothy taught in a school in Harlan County Kentucky Appalachian Mountain area To get to her school from the town of Harlan I followed a road winding around the mountain In the eight mile journey I crossed the same railroad track five times giving the possibility of getting caught by the same train five times Rather than feeling excited by this drive through the mountains I found it depressing The poverty level was shocking and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness From the moment of my arrival at the little school all gloom 忧郁 disappeared Upon arriving at Dorothy s classroom I was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen The children had been prepared to show me their latest projects Dorothy told me with a big smile that they were serving poke greens salad and cornbread for dinner lunch In case you don t know poke greens are a weed type plant that grows wild especially on poor ground Dorothy never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students Her enthusiasm never cooled down When it came time to sit for the testing and interviewing required to receive her Child Development Associate Certification 6 Dorothy was ready She came to the assessment and passed in all areas Afterward she invited me to the one and only steak house in the area to celebrate her victory as if she had received her Ph D degree After the meal she placed a little box containing an old pen in my hand She said it was a family heirloom 传家宝 but to me it is a treasured symbol of appreciation and pride that cannot be matched with things 60 Early Childhood Development in Paragraph 1

C Dorothy s latest projects D a big dinner made for her 63 What can we know about Dorothy from the last paragraph A She was invited to a celebration at a restaurant B She got a pen as a gift from the

nobody understood what she was talking about But Sophia knew just how important Make A Wish could be because this special organization had helped to make a dream come true for one of her best friends We were interested in finding out more so we went along to meet Sophia and listen to what she had to say Sophia told us that Make A Wish is a worldwide organization that started in the United States in 1980 It s a charity 慈善机构 that helps children who have got very serious illnesses Make A Wish helps children feel happy even though they are sick by making their wishes and dreams come true Sophia explained We asked Sophia how Make A Wish had first started She said it had all begun with a very sick young boy called Chris who had been dreaming for a long time of becoming a policeman Sophia said lots of people had wanted to find a way to make Chris s dream come true so with everybody s help Chris only seven years old at the time had been a policeman for a day When people saw how delighted Chris was when his dream came true they decided to try and help other sick children too and that was the beginning of Make A Wish 7 explained Sophia Sophia also told us the Foundation tries to give children and their families a special happy time A Make A Wish volunteer visits the families and asks the children what they would wish for if they could have anything in the world Sophia said the volunteers were important because they were the ones who helped to make the wishes come true They do this either by providing things that are necessary or by raising money or helping out in whatever way they can 64 Sophia found out about Make A Wish because her best friend had A benefited from it B volunteered to help it C dreamed about it D told the author about it 65 According to Sophia Make A

how Pride and Prejudice Jane Austen s most famous work might be updated 200 years on Austen s popularity is rooted in her intelligence But today she would certainly have had a very different life as would her characters Here s my own suggestion It is a truth finally and universally acknowledged that a single woman with brains deserves to have equal opportunities to men however disadvantaged she may feel by sexism My dear husband said his hopeful wife one day have you heard that the local store standing empty for so long is taken over by a bright young businesswoman 8 Her dull and indifferent 漠不关心的 husband replied that he had not But it is it is she replied excitedly Mr Dull Husband made no reply Don t you want to know her plans she cried with some impatience Well clearly you think it matters to your silly little head so I d better listen Well my dear the rumour 传言 is that she has already set up a string of successful businesses in northern England though how a woman can know anything about that is beyond me She will move in herself next month What is her name Bingley Is she married or single What a question And none of your business But her coming will be a fine thing for our five boys How so How can it possibly affect them My dear love those lazy boys need something to wake them up There are bound to be jobs going Is that her point in settling here Surely as a woman she has simply taken a fancy to the place Nonsense my love how little you ve noticed the world has changed She s got a first rate degree and some sort of business qualification I m told She surely needs one of our boys Perhaps you might give her a call Me No Perhaps you can take an interest You still have your looks after all She may even offer you a job Oh that s not likely These new chances belong to the younger generation But now you mention it I think I ll go along all the same And Mrs Bennet went along That was 10 years ago She is now managing director of a FTSE listed company It would remain the case of course that Mrs Bennet would be one of very few women on the company board that her salary would be lower than her male colleagues her bonus of a more female dimension and her lifespan 年限 among the city s business leaders shorter than theirs Still she d no doubt have enjoyed Davos and might even have hobnobbed 攀谈 with influential figures 67 Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage A Austen was born 200 years ago B Austen rewrote Pride and Prejudice C Austen s success lies in her wisdom D Austen s updated work gains popularity 68 The underlined part in the passage suggests that Mrs Bennet A had mixed feelings of admiration and surprise about Bingley B felt kind of worried and doubtful about Bingley C was extremely anxious to meet Bingley 9 D had a great curiosity about Bingley 69 In the eyes of Mrs Bennet Bingley surely needed one of their boys to A get married to B work for her C help her move in D take over her store 70 What does the writer intend to tell us A Women with brains can also be as successful as men B Women have to pay a high price for success C A judgment must be made free from prejudice D Sex discrimination still exists nowadays 第二节 共 5 小题 每小题 2 分 满分 10 分 基础题 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 Time for a Brainstorm A brainstorm is a session where a small group of people come together to solve a problem People voice spontaneous ideas sometimes just shouting and a note taker writes them all down 71 By getting different ideas out there ideas are said to bounce off each other and even can help solve the problem at hand Brainstorming is often a group exercise but individuals can also conduct personal brainstorms 72 He defined it as using the brain to storm a creative problem and do so in commando 突击队 fashion with each stormer attacking the same objective According to him it was easier to tone down a wild idea than think up a new one He placed importance on the collection of as many ideas as possible and dismissed scientific thinking Brainstorming has become one of the most popular ways to solve problems and hold discussion in schools and businesses Many students brainstorm for a group assignment or even for a personal essay Sarah Grace 24 is an Australian marketing analyst and uses brainstorming during all her creative duties She thinks brainstorming is the best way to work as a team The sessions get everyone on the same page everyone moving together and with a clear understanding about the foundations of an event or idea 73 However a big problem with brainstorming is creating a mess that leads people further away from a solution 74 If you don t have a strong moderator or leader of the brainstorm can go really off track and people just start discussing something totally different Brainstorming can sometimes confuse the human brain 75 If you brainstorm too much and your page is filled up with all the messy links you can paint yourself into a bit of corner and get trapped with ideas You need to move past brainstorming as soon as you have something workable A The ideas can be smart strange or crazy B It is caused by a lack of direction from a leader C Brainstorming really helps her organize her thoughts 10 D Brainstorming really is the best way to build team spirit E It can open too
