I was raised to respect others and value education. “You can be anything you want to be,” my parents always say. My parents are never without a helpful word of advice or a bit of encouragement when life gets tough.I always knew that going to college was expected of me. After all, both of my parents are college graduates with many degrees. Even after I decided that Id rather get married to a man who was so clearly wrong for me than go to college at 16, they never stopped telling me that they loved me and that I could do anything I wanted to do. Thankfully, they talked some sense into me(开导我别干傻事). I graduated from high school and currently attend the University of Oklahoma. I want to make the world a better place. And I know that my parents are the reason for this. Every time I call home to tell them about a grade I received，they tell me how proud of me they are. I know there are college students out there that have no one to call home to when they get an A on a project and I feel lucky to have my parents.Dont get me wrong. Weve had our share of problems. I was the angry teenager and they were the terrible parents that wouldnt let me stay out all night or let me get my tongue pierced (穿透). But we managed to work through those issues. They never stopped loving me or believing in me.Without their constant love and encouragement, I cant be successful. My parents taught me to always fight for what I believe in. And so Im working toward something really great and can only hope that I continue to make them proud.1. We can know from the passage that the authors parents _.Aare very strict with children Bnever give advice to childrenClive in Dallas all their lives Dare both well educated2. What made the author change her attitude towards life?AA man she met when she was 16 BHer parents love and instructionCThe advice from her older sister DHer parents criticism and punishment3. According to Paragraph 3 the following are true EXCEPT that _.Athe author likes to show off her achievementsBnot every college student has supportive parentsCthe author feels lucky to have such good parentsDthe authors parents give her much encouragement BGive people a chance before you judge them because you really never know whats going on beneath the surface. I know weve heard this all before, but it is much more difficult to do so in practice. I am always told that judging a person by what others say or my first impression is usually wrong. Its so easy to make assumptions (臆想) and expect about someone, just to find out they were completely false. I know Ive done this too many times! The shy girl turns out to be one of the funniest girls I ever met, the selfish girl is actually very sensitive and loving, the cocky boy is not sure of himself and so on. I hope there is a world where we stop judging a person by what they wear, their hairstyle, their job, their car; and we simply love and accept them for who they are. Someone may have a bad hair because they over slept, or their clothes dont match because their house burned down and lost everything. All Im saying is, “Can we focus more on whats going on inside a person rather than the outside?”There are so many people who seem like everything is just fine on the outside, but the inside is angry or hurting. They dont know how to just be themselves or theyre afraid to because they may be thought of as the “crazy” or “strange” person. I know because I used to be that person.I truly believe everything begins with ourselves. Before we can really stop judging others by the outside we must stop judging ourselves. We must know how we treat ourselves first. Lets stop getting in our own way and accept ourselves and others as we are.4.Theunderlinedword“cocky”inParagraph2probablymeans_. A.lovely B.clever C.proud D.stupid 5.Whenwejudgeaperson,weshouldpaymoreattentionto_.

Your talkative seatmate doesnt understand your need for sleep. And the aircrafts bathroom is a total mess. These situations can make even a short flight unbearable. Hopefully you dont cause these unpleasant experiences for others.11. Always recline(向后倾斜) your seat slowly. Theres nothing worse than suddenly being hit in the knees by the seat in front of you. In addition, dont keep your seat reclined for the entire flight. Always keep it upright during mealtimes. And remember to put it in the upright position before going to the restroom (or anytime you leave your seat). 12 Wait until the meal is done and all the food trays(盘子) have been collected. Its hard for passengers to stand up to let you pass when they still have their food trays. And when using the bathroom, always clean up after yourself-the next user will be grateful ! Keep your body-and your possessions-to yourself as much as possible so as not to crowd your in-flight seatmate(s). Share the armrest, especially on a long flight. Also, be careful not to kick or push on the seat in front of you. While some people enjoy chatting with other passengers during a flight, not everyone does. Some people may want to nap, read or work.13 If you are traveling with someone and want to chat, keep your voices low,14 People can still hear through your headphones if the volume is too high. When exiting the plane, if others are having trouble with their carry-on luggage, help them if you can. If you cant help, wait patiently, and dont push past people to get off the airplane. On your flight, remember the golden rule:15 . A. Dont leave your carry-on in the aircraftB. If the conversation seems one-sided, you should notice it.C. Treat others the way you want to be treated!D. Avoid going to the bathroom during mealtimesE. Instead, you can set an example by following these common airplane courtesies (礼貌)F. It is not polite to talk loudly in the aircraftG. If using electronic gadgets (小装置), keep the volume down第二部分 英语知识及应用(共三节,满分45分)第一节 完形填空（共20小题，每小题1分，满分20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，选出最佳选项，并填在答题卡上.More Than I Had Dreamed Of From the time I was seven, I had a dream of becoming a member of the Student Union.
