As they were working, a couple of older boys stopped by to watch.“What are you doing?” asked one of the visitors. “We plan to dig a hole all the way through the earth!” one of the brothers said excitedly.The older boys began to laugh, telling the younger ones that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible. After a long silence, one of the diggers picked up a jar full of spiders, worms and all kinds of other insects. He removed the lid and showed the wonderful contents to the scoffing(嘲笑)visitors. Then he said quietly and confidently, “Even if we dont dig all the way through the earth, look what we found along the way!”Their goal was far too ambitious（有野心的）, but it did cause them to dig. And that is what a goal is for to cause us to move in the direction we have chosen; in other words, to set us to digging!But not every goal will be fully achieved. Not every job will end successfully. Not every relationship will endure(长久持续). Not every dream will be realized. But when you fall short of your aim, perhaps you can say, “Yes, but look at what I found along the way! Look at the wonderful things which have come into my life because I tried to do something!”It is in the digging that life is lived. And I believe it is joy in the journey, in the end, that truly matters.21. Which of the following is NOT the reason why the older boys laughed at the two brothers?A. The two brothers only dug out a lot of insects B. The two brothers lacked knowledge of the earth.C. The two brothers were foolish. D. The two brothers had a far too ambitious goal.22.

Before offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and a variety of cupsporcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking and cheap, some exquisite and expensivetelling them to help themselves to the coffee. When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: “If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. Be assured（确信的）that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups And then you began eyeing each others cups. Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided for us.”God brews（泡，沏）the coffee, not the cups.

Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem, and you are speaking quite fluently. _36._ First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. _37._ What you need to do is to find listening resources. The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The Real Player from Real M. The Real Player allows you to use the Internet like a radio station. Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated (受阻) by limited understanding. _38._ Here is some of the advice I give my students: Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything. Stay relaxed when you do not understand, and try listening to the material for more times. Do not translate everything into your native language. _39._ Dont concentrate on detail until you have understood the main ideas. Listen to something you enjoy. I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning, when I didnt understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind. _40._ Then, after the first six months, I discovered two extremely important facts. Firstly, translating creates a barrier between the listener and the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm, I noticed that even if I didnt pay much attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said. A What should you do? BBut listening is a problem for most of the beginners! CHowever, after several weeks, I got used to the grammar rules. DThe most important thing is to listen as often as possible. EThis method usually resulted in confusion. FListen for the general idea of the conversation. GBut you cant follow a native English speaker at all! .英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节：完形填空：（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从4160各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 A businessman was deep in debt (欠债) and could see no way out.
