However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off.Shades of that spirit spread over todays conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walked light-heartedly out of the door, picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, “Oh, boy, bad day for a picnic. The weatherman says its going to rain.” I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report, for his smile.Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter, the sales agent said with a broad smile, “Oh, that bus left five minutes ago.” Dreams of head-cutting!Its not the news that makes someone angry. Its the unsympathetic attitude with which its delivered. Everyone must give bad news from time to time, and big winners do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way. A boss informing an employee he didnt get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver.Unfortunately, many people are not aware of this. When youre tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isnt ready yet? When you had your heart set on the toast beef, has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece? It makes you as traveler or diner want to land your fist (拳头) right on their unsympathetic faces.Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warning. Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said, “Oh, thats all right. Ill catch the next one.” Big winners, when they bear bad news, deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded (被轰炸的) person is sure to have.21In the writers opinion, his neighbor was .Afriendly.Bwarm-hearted.Cnot considerate.Dnot helpful.22From Paragraph 3, we learn that the writer .Awas mad at the sales agent.Bwas reminded of the cruel pharaoh.Cwished that the sales agent would have had dreams.Ddreamed of cutting the sales agents head that night.23What is the main idea of the text?ADelivering bad news properly is important in communication.BHelping others sincerely is the key to business success.CReceiving bad news requires great courage.DLearning ancient traditions can be useful.BWe all think plants were expected to get larger with increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but changes in temperature, humidity(湿度)and nutrient availability seem to have trumped the benefits of increased carbon dioxide” said researchers from the National University of Singapore.45 percent of the species studied now reach smaller adult sizes than they did in the past. The researchers pointed out that warmer temperatures and changing habitats, caused by climate change, are possible reasons for shrinking creatures.“ We do not yet know the mechanisms(机制)involved, or why some organism are getting smaller while others are unaffected,” the researchers said. “Until we understand more, we could be risking negative consequences that we cant yet quantify. The change is big in cold-blooded animals. Only two decades of warmer temperatures are enough to make retiles (爬行动物)smaller. An increase of only 1 degree centigrade caused nearly a 10 percent increase in metabolism(新陈代谢). Greater use of energy resulted in tiny tortoises and little lizards. Fish are smaller now too. Though overfishing has played a part in reducing numbers, experiments show that warmer temperatures also stop fish growing.Warm-blooded animals arent immune(免除)from the size change caused by climate change. Many birds are now smaller. Soay sheep are thinner. Red deer are weaken And polar bears are smaller, compared with historical records.This is not the first time this has happened in Earths history. 55 million years ago, a warming event similar to the current climate change caused bees, spiders and ants to shrink by 50 to 75 percent over several thousand years. That event happened over a longer time than the current climate change.The speed of modem climate change could mean organisms may not respond or adapt quickly enough, especially those with long generation times climate change will be shown in the future.24What does the text mainly talk about_AWhy some species become smaller.BHow climate changes in Earths history?CClimate change has many negative effects.DSpecies are becoming smaller as climate gets warmer.25The underlined word “trumped” m the first paragraph probably mean_.Astrengthened Bgained Cbeaten Dequaled26Researchers from the National University of Singapore believe that_Athey have found the exact causes for creatures getting smaller.Ball the animals on the earth have become smaller.Cclimate change has more negative effects on warm-blooded animals.Dincrease in energy use can lead to creatures getting smaller.27What does the author feel about the climate change?ADisappointed BOptimistic CWorried DShamefulCOne day a teacher asked her students to list the names of the other students and write down the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates. That Saturday, the teacher wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, and listed what everyone else had said about that_On Monday she gave each student his or her list. Before long, the entire class was smiling. “Really?” she heard whispered. “I never knew that I meant anything to anyone!” and, “I didnt know others liked me so much,” were most of the comments.No one ever mentioned those papers in class again. She never knew if they discussed them after class or with their parents. Several years later, one of the students was killed in Vietnam and his teacher attended his funeral. As she stood there, one of the soldiers came up to her. “Were you Marks math teacher?” he asked. She nodded: “yes.” Then he said: “Mark talked about you a lot.”After the funeral, Marks mother and father were waiting there, “We want to show you something,” his father said, taking a wallet out of his pocket, “They found this on Mark when he was killed. We thought you might recognize it.”The teacher carefully removed two worn pieces of notebook paper that had obviously been taped, folded and refolded many times. The teacher knew without looking that the papers were the ones on which she had listed all the good things each of Marks classmates had said about him. “Thank you so much for doing that,” Marks mother said, “As you can see, Mark treasured it.”The density of people in society is so thick that we forget that life will end one day. And we dont know when that one day will be. So please, tell the people you love and care for, that they are special and important.28The underlined wordindividualin paragraph one probably mean_.Aone studentBone teacherCone parentDone comment29From the soldiers words in the second paragraph we can infer that_.AMark disliked his math teacher very muchBThat particular class has no influence on MarkCMark often mentioned that class to his friendsDMark loved to learn math very much30According to the passage which of the following statements is TRUE?AStudents did not care others comments. BMark always had the papers with him.CMark lost his wallet in the battle. DMark lost the papers in the battle31Which of the followings can be the best title of the passage?ATell them, before it is too late. BToo busy to show your love.CLove is action instead of words. DGood words turn away coldness.D This was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. As I searched the name, I found that there were two famous people having the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts（花生）, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice; let the coin decide. I flipped(掷) a coin and Ah! Tails (背面)! My report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.Weeks later, I stood in front of the classroom and proudly read my homework. But things started to get strange. I looked around the room, only to find my classmates with big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes and my stone-faced teacher. I was completely lost. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”Oh well, I dropped the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American War of Independence.” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that my teacher meant that George Washington?Of course, my subject result was awful. Sad but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to the headmaster Miss Lancelot, but she said firmly: No re-dos; no new score. I felt that it was not fair, and I believed I deserved a second chance. So I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, I sat in the headmasters office again, but this time a completely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the terrible moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster told me I was good enough to skip(跳过) the 6th grade and started the 7th grade next term.32_ helped me decide what my report would be about.AThe InternetBMy classmatesCMy grandpaDA coin33I _ after I failed the subject.Aworked harder to prove my ability Bstarted to study from the 7th gradeCwas so frightened at the awful result Dwas given a second chance to redo the work34We can infer from the passage that _.Athe headmaster didnt like the writer at allBthe writers classmates felt sad at his mistakeCthe writer knew little about American historyDthe writers grandpa was a very wise man35Which of the following proverbs can best describe the main idea of this story?ASeeing is believing.BWhere there is a will, there is a way.COne is never too old to learn.DA friend in need is a friend indeed.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。 Bad communication, either written, oral, or body language, can send the wrong message in more ways than one. Here are some tips that will improve your communication skills.36 Stand up straight, and it will show confidence. Smile, and you will seem approachable. Dont cross your arms over your chest, because this tells people you disapprove. Keep your hands to your side, or if you are sitting, keep them in your lap.Have confidence when you speak. If you are shy and quiet，project your voice. 37 Never turn your head away from someone when you are speaking to them, because it may show them you dont care enough to give them your full attention, and it will make it harder for the other person to hear what you are saying.38 If you always say “Ive no idea of it”, it will make others feel like you dont care enough to give a response, or that you arent knowledgeable enough to answer. When people ask questions, they want answers. 39 Say something like “Im in the middle of something, can I get back to you?” or “I dont want to ill advise you, let me find out for you.”In written communication, always he clear. Before you send an e-mail, or any type of written communication, read over it at least once, to be sure it makes sense. 40 Written forms of communication can be tricky, because there is no way to put your tone of voice in, so if you feel like you are writing a message on a touchy subject that could he misunderstood, its probably best to have a face to face conversation.AHave good body language.BListen to the person attentively.CNever answer with “I dont know”.DDont give the person you are speaking to a quick response.E. Always look the person in the eye when you are speaking to them.F. If you arent sure its clear, have someone else read it before you send it.G. If someone puts you on the spot, you dont have to answer them right away.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 （共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Angela a 28-year-old Canadian, was driving to visit friends in another city 800 kilometres away.
