Only my senior English class was 34 ，as we had a teacher right out of college who expected college-level work.

I lived up to my own expectations.Yesterday, I 40 my high school report cards when I was reading old papers. That bundle (捆) of report cards 41 back the old days. I remembered sitting in my advisors office, explaining that I had always been excellent at English and complaining(抱怨)that I did not 42 a “D” from that inexperienced teacher of my senior year. The advisor was 43 but unable to change a grade.My old 44 cards showed something else too. I wanted to tear them up or 45 them. I was not an “A” student in high school English! Somehow, I had convinced(使相信) myself of this, when the grades clearly reflected a(n) 46 student with an occasional “A” or “B”, but mostly “C”s.If I had lived up to those 47 and define (定义) myself according to those letters, I would have never confidently 48 my writing career. If I had believed in my early grades instead of myself, I would have allowed my fear of 49 to defeat my enthusiasm(热情) and damage my creativity. 50 , I regarded my younger self as an “A” English student, except for that undeserved “D”.31.A.teacherB.headmasterC.classmateD.monitor32.A.memoriesB.thoughtsC.expectationsD.impressions33.A.forcedB.askedC.permittedD.begged34.A.activeB.creativeC.interestingD.disappointing35.A.SoB.ButC.AndD.Or36.A.workedB.marriedC.succeededD.progressed37.A.ConfidentB.HappyC.SorryD.Anxious38.A.wroteB.editedC.readD.copied39.A.metB.lostC.admiredD.remained40.A.countedB.rememberedC.discoveredD.approached41.A.turnedB.broughtC.heldD.put42.A.deserveB.makeC.receiveD.learn43.A.understandingB.energeticC.angryD.sad44.A.birthdayB.postC.invitationD.report45.A.keepB.correctC.hideD.send46.A.silentB.brightC.averageD.outstanding47.A.figuresB.gradesC.papersD.words48.A.changedB.endedC.damagedD.sought49.A.changeB.riskC.stressD.failure50.A.OtherwiseB.BesidesC.InsteadD.Still第二部分 阅读理解（两节 共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A, B, C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AA newspaper reporters job can be very interesting. He meets all types of people and lives quite a busy life.He is on the rush for news all the time, then after several years he may get a desk job, and life becomes a bit more settled. Lets look at his work a little more closely. In a day he may have to interview the prime minister of a foreign country, and the next day he may be writing about a football match. Sometimes he may be so busy that he has hardly any time to sleep. And at other times he may go on for days looking out for news materials yet return empty-handed.In the beginning, a reporter has to cover a very wide field. After the early years he becomes more specialized in his work. For example, he may finally be asked to write only on court cases or politics or sports. Some reporters may become so specialized that they are asked only to write on a special thing: horse racing, for example. In most newspaper houses there is at least one special racing correspondent. Some newspapers have book reviews. Their job is delightful. They read the latest books and then write reviews on the ones they like. Then there are those who write on films, so they get to see them even before they are shown in the cinema. How lucky, you would say!A reporters job can also be very dangerous. A number of them have died rushing from one assignment to another, and if there is a flood or a riot (暴乱) they may get hurt or even be killed. Three years ago there was a reporter whose camera was smashed by a group of men, because they were angry with him for taking their pictures. Dangerous or not, one thing is certain, and that is, their job is never dull!51. What does the underlined phrase on the rush mean in the passage?A. On the beach B. In a hurry C. On the spotD. In no time52. Reporters who write on films are said to be lucky because they _.A. can see the films before most people see them in the cinemaB. can see more film starsC. can pay less than other peopleD. can write anything they like53. A reporters work becomes dangerous when _.A. there is a flood or a riot B. there is an interview with the prime ministerC. there is a football match D. he is seeing a horror film54. From the passage we can infer that, to be a good reporter, he must be all of the following except _.A. brave B. strong C. quick in mind D. well-informed55. A newspaper reporters job can be:dangerous easy busy dull delightful interestingA. B: C: D. BDriving a car is not just handling controls and judging speed and distance. It requires you to predict what other road users will do and get ready to react to something unexpected. When alcohol is consumed, it enters your bloodstream and acts as a depressant (抑制药), damaging eyesight, judgment and co-ordination (协调), slowing down reaction time and greatly increasing the risk of accidents. Even below the drink driving link, driving will be affected.Alcohol may take a few minutes to be absorbed into the bloodstream and start action on the brain. Absorption rate is increased when drinking on an empty stomach or when consuming drinks mixed with fruit juice. To get rid of alcohol from the body is a very slow process and it is not possible to speed it up with any measures like taking a shower or having a cup of tea or coffee.The present Road Traffic Ordinance states clearly that the limit of alcohol concentration is: 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of blood; or 22 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath; or 67 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of urine (尿液).Drivers who cause traffic accidents, or who commit a moving traffic offence or are being suspected of drink driving will be tested.Any driver found drinking beyond the limit will be charged. The driver declared guilty may be fined a maximum of HK $25,000 and be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison and punished for 10 driving-offense points; or temporarily banned from driving.The same punishment applies to failing to provide specimens (样本) for breath, blood or urine tests without good excuse.Drink driving is a criminal offense. Be a responsible driver, think before you drink. For the safety of yourself and other road users, never drive after consuming alcohol.56. The first paragraph is mainly about _.A. the introduction of driving skills B. the damage of drinking to your bodyC. the effect of drinking on driving D. the process of alcohol being absorbed57. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “_”.A. alcohol B. absorption C. blood D. process58. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Drinking below the drink driving limit has no effect on driving.B. Alcohol is taken in more quickly when drunk with fruit juice.C. Having a cup of tea helps to get rid of alcohol from the body.D. 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of breath is below the drink limit.59. A driver suspected of drink driving _.A. should provide specimens for testingB. will be forbidden to drive for 3yearsC. will be punished for 10 driving-offense pointsD. should pay a maximum fine of HK $25,00060. Whats the best title of this passage?A. Driving a car is not easy and safe B. Drink driving will cause traffic accidentsC. Drink driving will get punished D .Never drive after consuming alcoholCIt was Thanksgiving morning. I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together on the top step.Any old papers, lady? asked one of them.I was busy. I wanted to say no until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals(凉鞋), wet with heavy snow.Come in and Ill make you a cup of hot cocoa.They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started cooking.The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, Lady, are you rich?Am I rich? Pity, no!I looked at my worn out slipcovers(椅套). The girl put her cup back in its saucer(茶碟)carefully and said, Your cups match your saucers. They left after that, holding their papers against the wind. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful.Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.I tasted the potatoes and stirred(搅动)the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a regular job, these matched, too.I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy marks of little sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am.61. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Lady, are you rich?B. A story of Thanksgiving DayC. Dont forget how rich you are D. Do cups and saucers match well?62. The writer let the two children come in and served them well because_.A. she wanted to sell old papers to themB. she wanted to invite them to her Thanksgiving partyC. she showed great pity and care on themD. she had the same experience as them in the past63. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. The girl thought the writer was rich just because she wanted to make the writer happy.B. The writer had thought she wasnt rich because her supplies were not expensive.C. If cups and saucers match well, they are a best pair even though cheap.D. After hearing what they said, the writer seemed to understand what a rich life was.64. The writer left the muddy marks of little sandals on the floor for a while to_.A. show that she was a kindhearted ladyB. remind her that she shouldnt forget how rich she wasC. leave room for readers to think about what being rich isD. prove that she had understood what meant being rich65. Which of the following can best match the two childrens ideas?A. No pains, no gains B. Never put off till tomorrow what you can do todayC. Happiness consists in contentment D. Roses given, fragrance in handDThere are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing (批评)and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation(模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections,
