After all, I was a teenage girl, and I could not bear people to look at me and think I was not like them. I must have been a terrible danger on the roads. Coming across me wandering through the traffic, motorists probably would have to stop rapidly on their brakes. Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something. “Im awfully sorry,” I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost(街灯柱). This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldnt stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to guess if the bus had arrived.Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away. In the end, I usually managed to swallow（吞下） my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.But at this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; it seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did. But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by. I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop.4. The girl refused to ask for help because she thought_.A. she might be recognized B.asking for help looked sillyC. she was normal and independent D. being found blind was embarrassing5. After the girl got off the bus that evening, she_.A. began to run B. hit a person as usualC.hita lamppost by accident D. was caught by something6. What was theproblemwithguessing at the sound to stop a bus?A. Other vehicles also stopped there.B. It was unreliable for making judgments.C. More lorries than buses responded to the girl.D. It took too much time for the girl to catch the bus.7. Finally the girl decided to walk to the next stop, hoping_.A. to find people there B. to find more buses thereC. to find the bus by herself there D. to find people more helpful thereCTo travel abroad, we often meet the problemof whatto take and howto take it .Take as little as it is possible. Choose clothes for your use in differentkinds of situations and when you have made your final choice, take half of it! Itsalways a big problem to take too many things,and anyway if necessary, you can buy what you need in America. Things like jeans, T-shirts and other clothes are good buys in the US. If you huntaroundyou canusually find something on sale.Whatever baggage you take, make sure it is easy to take .Getting on and off buses and trains, evenjust changing planes,can be a test if your bags are too heavy or too many .The best way is to take one holdall（手提箱）, likea suitcase or a backpack, and then a smaller bag. Even when you have to check in your holdall, at the airport or bus station, you can keep all your money and documents by your side. Itis also a good idea to keep a change of clothing in your shoulder bag in case your suitcase or backpack gets lost by an airline or a bus company.The means you choose to travel aroundthe US will depend on your money, your time and somethingelse. Since there are certain discounts available to travelerswho buy their tickets outside the US, it is a goodidea to make travel plans before you go there. Also, when you buy your tickets outside the US, you save the eight percent sales tax（税）. Travel is like everythingelse in Americayou have to shop around for the best buys. Never be afraid to ask for the cheapest fare. The clerk seldom offers you the cheapest one.8.What is the writers ideaabout what to take while travelling abroad ？A. Take as many clothes as possible.B. Take as few things as you can.C. Take only your tickets and money.D. Take whatever you can use indifferentsituations.9. Thewriter thinks travelershad better put their money and documents in _.A.a suitcase B.a backpack C.a shoulder bag D.a coat pocket10. Fromthe last paragraph we can learn that _.A.travelling around the US will cost you little money.B.buying tickets outside the US is cheaper.C.asking prices is notgood manners in the US.D.clerks always see you the cheapest things.11. Thepassage is mainly about some advice about _.A.travelling in AmericaB.shopping in AmericaC.the means to travel around the USD.the ways to save money in the USADSo called “never-marrieds” are one of the fastest-growing groups in America, according to the US Census Bureau. More than 40 percent of the adult population are singles, and 10 percent of all adults will never marry, according to the recent statistics. In less than 30 years, the number of people who have never walked down the aisle（通道） has more than doubled, as the average age of marriage has reached a historic high: 25 years for women, and 27 years for men.Why is America becoming more and more a nation of singles? “People are being more demanding. Its a soul mate（配偶） or nothing, when a generation ago, less than half the people said something similar to that,” relationship expert Laura Berman told Good Morning America.A recent Rutgers University study found 94 percent of people between the age of 20 and 29 agreed to the statement: “When you marry, you want your partner to be your soul mate, first and foremost（最重要的）.”In addition to that, modern women are able to support themselves, and do not need men for their money, Berman said. Some are buying homes for themselves. “They need a man for improving their lives, but not for creating them.” she said. Gillian Thomas, a 33-year-old lawyer in Philadelphia, is part of the growing group. Attractive and successful, she has simply not found the right person to marry, and sees no reason to settle for less. “I feel internal（内部的） pressure to find a soul mate and I think we all do,” Thomas says. “I dont think its just women. I think that in this sort of post-feminist(后女权主义) generation we all feel like we can have it all.”Singles often depend on a “family” of friends, who do everything from helping to paint each others apartments to taking vacations together, said freelance(自由职业) writer Ethan Watters, a single 37-year-old.He has maned these groups “urban tribes”, and is writing a book on the subject. But only the name is new.The comfort of these “urban tribes” may delay marriage, but they dont rule marriage out. Indeed, there may be some good news for those who wait, Watters says. As the average age of marriage has risen, statistics say that divorce rates have leveled off. Could the urban tribes be on to something?12. As is given in this passage, why are there more and more never-marrieds” in America?A. More and more young Americans enjoy single life.B. More Americans are afraid of marriage failure.C. American government supports its people to live a single life.D. Young Americans have higher expectations of marriage.13. According to Laura Berman, the aim of modern American women to marry is to .A. have a soul mate to deal with their troubleB. find a man to provide houses and fortune for themC. find a man to make their lives betterD. have a soul mate to create better lives for them14. It can be inferred from the passage that when American singles have something in trouble, they often .A. go back to their parents for help B. go to travel to escape the troubleC. go to their friends for helpD. have the expectation of finding a soul mate15. The authors attitude towards marriage in American is .A. concerned B. objectiveC. approvedD. pessimistic七选五In years past, you couldnt talk to me before 10: 00 in the morning,much less expect me to get anything useful done. And the weekends ? Forget it. If the time had “a. m.” attached to the end of it, youd better believe I was face-down in a pillow（枕头）. 16 Im mentally forming my to-do list before I even open my eyes. I find that my best writing is done within the first few hours after I wake up. So whats my secret? 17Night time preparation is half the battle. A few minutes at night to set up the coffee pot, lay out an outfit（用具）, and get your lunch together for the following day can be a godsend（意外获得的幸运） come sunrise.Set two alarms.The first one is gentle, within reach and set for five minutes before you really need it. This comforting sound will slowly wake you up. 18Do something that is truly, genuinely（真正地） you.19 Enjoy your coffee slowly. Take a walk or do ten minutes of yoga. If you walk out of the door with peace in your heart, youll carry it with you throughout the day.If you generally struggle in the evening hours, dont push yourself too hard to go against nature. Lean into your afternoon energy but use these tips to help you embrace those tough mornings with a bit more grace(优雅). 20A. Get things ready in advance.B. Setting some exciting music for your alarm may also help.C. Nowadays, however, despite my best efforts I cannot sleep past 8.D. Give yourself a little “me” time before the hustle (忙碌、奔忙) begins.E. In time you might find yourself changing into a “morning person” after all!F. Losing an hour of sleep will decrease（减少） your ability to think the following day.G. The second one should be louder, and set for the time you actually need to get up.二 完形填空 (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四个选项（A, B, C, D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项My father is my hero.
