The theater was filled with people .She was speaking with a power she had never before experienced, the words flowing smoothly from her.In fact, Roberta had never acted in her life before the audition（选拔试演）.She hated being in front of other people .She was very shy at school. She had never thought she was good enough at anything to attract much attention. She stayed mostly to herself, making few friends. She had excellent grades, but she always thought that something was missing.Two weeks before the audition, Robertas mother had heard about it and encouraged her to join in.“I cant think of anyone else better suited to play the part. Remember all the plays you used to act out for us?”Roberta looked down. “Im not interested.”Her mother wouldnt let the matter drop. “Youre just a little scared（害怕）.Everyone gets scared . You know you can do it. The trick is to look past the fear to find the love of what youre doing.”So Roberta had made an appointment（预约）with the head of the Drama Club. She had read the play and found herself excited by the idea of speaking such rich words. In secret she practiced Portias part, memorizing the lines by repeating them over and over .It wasnt hard: she loved every minute of it. Every time she spoke the words, she had a new understanding of the lines, as if Shakespeare had written Portia on many levels.On the day of the audition, she performed two of Portias famous speeches for the auditors. When she had finished, the head of the Drama Club announced the part was hers.（天津卷）16-35 CDCBA BDADC BBADC ABDCA 辽宁卷Lang Lang is a world-class young pianist who grew up in ShenyangHe went to a piano school in Beijing when he was just eight“You need fortune” his father said“But if you dont work hard, no fortune will come”What made him said was that his piano teacher in Beijing didnt like him“You have no talent(天赋)You will never be a pianist”As a nine-year-old boy, Lang Lang was badly hurt.

To my disappointment, it was the same score. Later that evening, I tearfully told Frank what I had learned that day. After talking it over, we agree that we knew our son much better than an IQ(智商) test. We decided that Michaels score must have been a mistake and we should treat him naturally as usual. We moved to Indiana in 1962, and Michael studied at Concordia High School in the same year. He got good grades in the school, especially in biology and chemistry, which was a great comfort. Michael entered Indiana University in 1965 as a pre-medical student, soon afterwards, his teachers permitted him to take more courses than required. In 1968, he was accepted by the School of Medicine, Yale University. On graduation day in 1972, Frank and I attended the ceremony (典礼) at Yale. After the ceremony, we told Michael about the low IQ score he got when he was six. Since that day, Michael sometimes would look at us and say jokingly, “My dear mom and dad never told me that I couldnt be a doctor, not until after I graduated from medical school!” It is his special way of thanking us for the faith we had in him. Interestingly, Michael then asked for another IQ test. We went to the same clinic where he had received the test eighteen years before. This time Michael scored 126, an increase of 36 points. A result like that was supposed to be impossible. Children often do as well as what adults, particularly parents and teachers, expect of them. That is, tell a child he is “stupid ”, and he may play the role of a foolish child. （重庆卷）36-55 DABCB CBADC DCDAB ABCCD 四川卷Its fourteen years since I left the Philippines to live with my family in the USA. A month ago, while on summer vacation back in my motherland, I learned a lesson from mosquito (蚊子) bites right before leaving. Kennedy Airport in New York, my grandma warned me of the behavior of the native mosquitoes around the visitors like me. She said, “Theres an old sayingthe longer you stay away from the motherland, the sweeter your blood grows to the mosquitoes,” Not believing it, I replied, “Grandma, thats just an old wives tale!” Well, less than a week after my arrival in Manila. I was already carpeted with a blanket of mosquito bites. I took many measures to keep myself from being bitten, but they all proved useless. Late one night in my cousins home. I couldnt bear the pain of the bites. Hoping to find some comfort, I woke up my cousin, who was sleeping peacefully in the bed next to mine. Unhappy for being interrupted she said, “There is nothing you can do. Go back to sleep.” With a few turns, she slept again. Enviously (妒嫉地) watching her sleep, I hoped a big mosquito would land on her face. However, the mosquitoes would just lightly dance around her forehead and fly away quickly, never biting her. Amazed (惊奇的), I ran to others rooms, only to find they were all sleeping soundlessly as the same thing occurred again and again .From those bites, I came to accept my grandmas silly tale. From then on, Ive always tried to keep a(n) open mind about those strange old wives tales because they do have some truth to them.（四川卷）36-55 ACDBA DADBD CABBA CCDAC 浙江卷The books in Davids schoolbag felt like bricks as he ran down the street. What be wanted to do was to play basketball with Eric, but his mother told him he would have to return his sisters books to the library first.He had never set foot in a library and he wasnt about to do so today. He would just drop the books in the outside return box. But there was a problem; it was locked He went into the building, only a few minutes before closing time. He put the books into the return box .And after a brief stop in the toilet, he would be on his way to the playground to meet Eric.David stepped out of the toilet and stopped in surprise -the library lights were off. The place was empty. The doors had been shut. They couldnt be opened from the inside. He was trapped（被困）-in a library!He tried to make a telephone call, but was unable to get through. Whats worse, the pay phones were on the outside of the building. As the sun began to set, he searched for a light and found it. At last he could see. David wrote on a piece of paper: “Help! Im TRAPPED inside!” and stuck it to the glass door. Surely, someone passing by would see it.He was surprised to discover that this place was not so unpleasant, after all. Rows and rows of shelves held books, videos and music. He saw a book about Michael Jordan and took it off the shelf. He settled into a chair and started to read.He knew he had to wait , but now, that didnt seem to be such a bad thing.（浙江卷）21-40 ACBAD DBCBC ACBDB ABCAA 安徽卷It was the night of the full moon, a time which always drives Javas young people mad with excitement.Fireworks were lit long before the moon came out. The big noise brought people out into the warm night to enjoy the interesting scene. Everywhere, there were the paper remains of used fireworks lying on the ground. Little boys lit more and covered their ears as they waited excitedly for the explosions.The moon appeared above the horizon(地平线): huge, silver ball high above the city, and the streets filled with people, as Java began to enjoy one of the years greatest events : the Night of the Full Moon, a festival(节日) that is especially popular with young people.More and more young Javanese gathered together and walked slowly through the light. Joking and chatting, they moved towards the mountain on the edge of the city. They continued to climb until they reached the old temple (寺庙) at the top of the mountain.After they were inside the temple, they drank their water and ate their moon-cakesdelicious homemade ones, full of dried fruit and nuts. Outside, on the mountain, young people sat cross-legged in circles, chatting and telling each other jokes. And still, in their hundreds, more young people continued to make their way up the mountain to admire the brightly shining moon.By midnight, the fireworks had stopped shooting up from the empty city in the valley below them. But during the night, the sound continued to be heard from the distance. （安徽卷）36-55CABAD ACDCB CABCA CBDDB 福建卷I grew up in a tiny Baltimore row house in a faraway mountain area. My parents provided the necessities of life but they couldnt give much more. If I asked my father for a pair of jeans, he would say, “If you want them, make the money and buy them yourself.” He wasnt being mean; he just couldnt afford them. From age 12 on, I did part-time jobs after school.When I graduated from high school, I joined the navy. Soon I was in a boot camp (新兵训练营) at Parris Island, S.C, where I learned that life in the navy centered around completing daily tasks. These could be anything from cleaning the camp to conducting mock(模拟的) battles. Completing these tasks successfully required discipline, team-work and responsibility. It didnt matter whether you were black, white or Asian; everyone worked together for the good of the company.I went on to graduate from the U.S. Naval Academy and later became an officer in the navy. The part of my job I enjoyed most was the counseling(咨询) meetings I held with the family members of the men and women in my charge , trying to help them deal with the long periods of separation . These proved popular and word of them spread. Before long I was being asked to give encouraging speeches to business groups, educations and kids across the country.But I consider the boat camp my first real job, and my life is still guided by the important lessons I learned there. It taught me discipline, friendship and the pride related to setting a task everyday and working hard to achieve it.（福建卷）36-55ABCCD DBCAA BCDAD BCCAB 湖北卷Many years ago, I owned a service station and roadhouse on the main road between Melbourne and Adelaide.One very cold, wet night at about 3:30 a.m., there was a knock on the front door of our house. A young man, wet from head to toe, explained that he had run out of petrol about 30 km up the road. He had left his pregnant（怀孕的）wife and his two children behind at the car and said that he would hitchhike（搭便车）back.Once I had filled a can with petrol, I took him back to his car where his two-year-old and four-year-old children were both crying, saying that they were cold. Once the car had started, I suggested that he follow me back.Before leaving, I had turned the heater on in the roadhouse, so that when we went in, it was nice and warm. While the little ones played and ran around, I prepared bread and butter for the children, and hot chocolate for the adults.It was about 5 a. m. before they left. The young fellow asked me how much he owed me and I told him that the petrol pump（加油泵）had shown $ 15. He offered to pay “call-out fee”, but I wouldnt accept it.About a month later, I received a letter from interstate, a large bus company that we bad been trying to getto stop off at our roadhouse for a long time. It turned out that the young fellow I had helped was its general manager, the most powerful person in the company.In his letter, he thanked me again and informed me that, from then on, all their buses would stop at my service station, In this case, a little bit of kindness was rewarded with a huge amount of benefits.（湖北卷）41-60DCDBD BDACA DACDB ABDCD （湖南卷）When I was young, my parents ran a snack bar in our small town.One evening in early April, my mother told me to fill in at the snack bar for a worker who had the flu. I told her I would mess it up, because I had never worked at the bar before. I worried that instead of making money, I would end up owing it.“You can do it.” said my mother. “Besides, you wont get much business until lunch.”“But Ill never remember the orders, and Im no good with money. Please, Mom, dont make me!”“Then Ill help you,” she said.I shrugged my shoulders. I thought my mothers idea was a bad one, but I obeyed .When I got to the bar the next day, I found my mother was wrong. Because the weather that day was rainy and cold, people wanted hot snacks and drinks. At first, I was really slow at taking the orders and making change. The line of people grew, and everybody seemed impatient. I was so nervous that my hands shook, and I broke a cup into pieces. What a mess! Then my mother came to help me, and she also showed me how to make change. If someone gave me $ 5 for something that cost $ 3.25, I handed over three quarters and a dollar and said,“75 cents makes four dollars, plus one dollar makes five.” Things went more smoothly after that.By the end of the day, I could remember orders, add up the bill, and make change quickly with a smile. I was even a little disappointed when the sun came out and dried up business. My mother said she was proud of me, and when she suggested that I work at the snack bar again next year, I did not even shrug. I was too busy imagining the restaurant I would open one day.（湖南卷）36-55BACCD DABCD DCBDB ADCDA Translate the underlined sentences and recite them. （陕西卷）I was having my dinner at McDonalds one evening when an old couple slowly walked in .
