Beloved by Chileans of all classes, he is one of the most widely read and respected poets in history. And this year is the 100th birthday of Pablo Neruda (1904-1973).Born with the name Neftali Ricardo Reyes Basolto, he was a tall, shy and lonely boy. He loved to read and started to write poetry when he was ten. The American poet Walt Whitman, whose framed picture Neruda later kept on his table, became a major influence on his work.However, his father did not like the idea of having a poet for a son and tried to discourage him from writing. To cover up the publication（出版）of his first poem, he took the pen name Pablo Neruda.In 1924 Neruda gainedfame with his most widely read work “Twenty Love Poems anda Song of Despair. Yet his rich experience as a diplomat and exile（流犯）made him go beyond the theme of love. His work also reflected the political struggle of the left and development of South America. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971.Neruda loved the sea which he saw as creative, destructive and forever moving. He found inspiration in the power and freedom of the waves and the seabirds on the coast. “I need the sea because it teaches me,” he wrote. “I move in the university of the waves.” He loved how the sea forever renewed itself, a renewal echoed in his work.24.

I left my letter of offer on my present bosss desk, turned around, and closed the door quietly. I was expecting a call from my boss saying congratulations, which would show her approval of my leaving.In the afternoon, my boss called me, saying, “Can we meet tomorrow?” That was a good signal. The next day, I met with my boss. She said, “Nicholas, we want you. What do you want?” I said, “Boss, I deserve a significant pay raise this year due to my outstanding performance（表现）. I think I need a 10% pay raise next year as a condition for me to stay here.” My boss said, “No problem.”When I left her office, I called Lynn University and told them that I was going to get a 10% pay raise. They had to give me 10% more than their original（原先的） pay offer in order for me to accept the job. The new boss told me that he was willing to give me more, but I would feel very bad working at this university with such a high pay. I would win a battle, but I would lose a war. He said, The problem is that your colleague will earn less than you, so you will feel guilty and uncomfortable. But, I can still give you 5% more than the original offer.I delivered this massage to my present boss, and she told me that she would give me another 5% pay raise if I promised to refuse this new job offer. On top of that, she would strongly support my early promotion（晋升）from assistant professor to associate professor. According to the university policy, you must take at least 6 years to get promoted.

In the text, the author mainly tells his experience of _.A. earning a pay raiseB. refusing a job offerC. applying for a new positionD. making decisions in the workplaceDWhen people were building houses, they used to consider not only the climate of the areas but also the building materials and the fashions for their houses. However, since electricity became more and more expensive, people began to pay much more attention to the energy they could get for their houses and the new ways they could find to protect their houses from both cold and heat.Now, houses of an old yet new type have been widely built. In some parts of the world, people share their houses with their livestock (家畜).During cold weather, they gather their cows, goats, or other animals and keep them on the first floor of their houses. The reasons are that the animals can be protected from the cold and that they can help to heat the houses as well. The body heat given off by the animals rises to the second floor of the houses, where people live. By sharing their houses with their livestock, people gain a source of heat.People who live in or near cities do not usually keep livestock. However, home builders use the fact that heat rises. Thisnatural lawcan be used in building houses in these areas. Instead of keeping livestock on the first floor, builders fill it with large rocks. As they are open to the suns rays during cold weather, these rocks take in heat. They also give off the heat, and, of course, the warm air rises into the living areas of the houses. So these houses are energy-saving.House-building becomes a great challenge to building designers and energy engineers. They try to meet this challenge by learning from old traditions and by using modern technology. And someday in the future, people will be able to live in more energy-saving houses.32. What did people begin to consider as electricity was no longer cheap?A. The climate of their areas.B. The energy for their houses.C. The fashions for their houses.D. The building materials for their houses.33. People in some areas gain a source of heat by _.A. keeping their livestock downstairsB. protecting their livestock from the coldC. sharing their houses only with their cowsD. living on the second floor with their livestock34. The underlined words “natural law” in the third paragraph refer to the fact that _.A. heat raises the temperature in the housesB. heat goes in the upward directionC. heat goes up if temperature is raisedD. heat increases the temperature of rocks35. From the passage, we can conclude that _.A. people will no longer consider building materials in the futureB. almost all people will move into the houses heated by large rocksC. energy-saving buildings will become more popular in the futureD. energy engineers will devote themselves only to modern technology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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to express your angerThe best way to manage anger is by dealing with it directlyyou must learn to express your anger in a healthy and helpful way.Expressing yourself when you are very angry can be difficult.
