She was not the kind of girl who could draw attention. She was not tall and just looked 35 . In class, she liked sitting at the back, reading or taking notes. One day I asked her to read aloud the text. When I heard her standard American pronunciation, I looked at her with new eyes. And I 36 her name—Kelly. Later on, the National College Speech Competition would be held. One student in our school was allowed to attend. I thought it over and filled in 37 name.‎ Kelly practiced hard for the competition. However, I was a little worried because she was always too 38 . Could she do well in the competition?‎ On the night of the competition, I sat in the front row of the hall very early. I told her to take it ‎ easy. Her face turned red and she said nothing. It seemed she was really 39 . I felt upset, but I just patted her on the shoulder and let her go to draw lots（抽签）. As a result, she drew No. 9 while No. 8 was a boy who was very good at giving speeches.‎ Sure enough, No. 8 was very 40 . The whole audience made a warm applause （鼓掌）almost every 30 seconds and was still talking about his speech with 41 until Kelly appeared on the stage. I sat there with no 42 to look at her. It was her first time to go up the stage, so I couldn’t be angry with her for any small mistakes. But at that moment, I found I was so afraid of her 43 .‎ The strong spotlight and large hall made her so small that nobody seemed to notice she had been on the stage. I felt hopeless.‎ But the moment that 44 me came. I clearly heard a voice, a very loud voice, “Now, please focus on（聚焦于）me.”‎ Three times in all, louder and louder.‎ The whole audience fell silent.‎ I could 45 believe that loud voice came from the girl, who was usually soft-voiced and didn’t 46 attention at all. She gave a perfect speech.‎ I think I will never forget this touching lesson that my student taught me — never underestimate（低估）the power of the silent people.‎ ‎35.

Here is some important advice to remember when speaking English in the United States.‎ ‎◆Americans have difficulties understanding foreign accents. Many Americans are not used to foreign accents. This requires patience from both of you.‎ ‎◆Talk about places: Americans love to talk about places. When speaking to a stranger, ask them where they come from and then say something about that place. For example: “Oh, I have a friend who worked in Los Angeles. He says it’s a beautiful place to live in.” Most Americans will then willingly talk about their experiences of living in or visiting that city or place.‎ ‎◆Talk about work: It is common for Americans to ask “What do you do?” It’s not considered impolite as in some countries and is a popular topic of discussion between strangers.‎ ‎◆Talk about sports: Americans love sports! However, they love American sports. When speaking about football, most Americans understand “American football”, not soccer.‎ ‎◆Be careful when expressing ideas about race, religion or other sensitive（敏感的）topics:The United States is a society with different cultures. Americans are very sensitive to other cultures and ideas.‎ ‎50. For Americans, the question “what do you do?” is ________.‎ A. common B. impolite C. boring D. surprising ‎51. What can we learn about Americans?‎ A. They like to learn foreign accents.‎ B. They are willing to talk about places.‎ C. They prefer soccer to American football.‎ D. They accept other ideas and cultures easily.‎ ‎52. The writer gives some advice mainly on ________.‎ A. talking with Americans B. working with Americans C. speaking American English D. understanding American society C At the age of sixteen, I went on my first volunteer program in West Virginia to repair or build homes for poor families. When we arrived, we discovered that the family we were going to help was living in a trailer（拖车式活动房）that was in poor condition, no bigger than two parking spaces. A group of people had been working on it for two weeks, but every time they finished one ‎ problem, another appeared.‎ We soon decided that the only way was to build a new house. It was something unusual because normally our goal was to repair old homes. The family was pleased with their new house that was 20 by 30 feet with three bedrooms, a bath and a kitchen.‎ On Tuesday of that week, I asked the family’s three boys, Josh, Eric and Ryan, “What do you want for your new room?” Kids in the families we had helped usually wanted toys or posters, so we were surprised when Josh, the oldest boy said, “We just want beds.” The boys had never slept in a bed. That night we had a meeting and decided that beds would be the perfect gift. On Thursday night, a few adults in our group drove to the nearest city and bought beds and new bedding.‎ On Friday when we saw the truck coming, we told the family about the surprise. They were very excited.‎ That afternoon, while we were setting up the beds, Eric ran into the house to watch us with wide eyes. As Maggie, a member of our group, put one of the pillows on the bed, Eric asked, “What is that?”‎ ‎“A pillow,” she replied.‎ ‎“What do you do with it?” Eric went on asking.‎ ‎“When you go to sleep, you put your head on it,” Maggie answered softly. Tears came to our eyes as she handed Eric the pillow.‎ ‎“Oh . . . that’s soft,” he said, holding it tightly.‎ Now, when my sister or I start to ask for something that seems very urgent（急迫的）, my dad always asks, “Do you have a pillow?” We know exactly what he means.‎ ‎53. Why did the writer’s group build a new house for the family?‎ A. Because it was their normal work.‎ B. Because the family asked them to do it.‎ C. Because the trailer could no longer be repaired.‎ D. Because they thought it was a perfect gift for the family.‎ ‎54. What can we learn from the story?‎ A. The family needed two parking spaces.‎ B. The boys of the family wanted toys and posters.‎ C. The family were excited about the beds and bedding.‎ D. The writer’s group made some furniture for the family.‎ ‎55. What is the best title for this passage?‎ A. The Pillow B. A New House C. The Family D. An Interesting Program D Sports, drama, and all kinds of organizations keep students busy during high school. Where do they get the money to do these things? Not everyone gets it from parents. Most have to work for at least some of the money to pay for these activities. Some adults question if high school students should have jobs. I say yes, they undoubtedly should.‎ Some people worry that teens with after-school jobs will have difficulty finding time for schoolwork. Actually, having a job helps teens make better use of their time. Many jobs take only a couple of hours on weeknights. According to an article, 86 percent of high school students have an after-school, weekend or summer job and students who work between 10 and 20 hours per week during the school year get higher grades than those who do not work at all. Instead of considering working after school a hindrance, it should be looked at as real-world education.‎ Other people think that work adds too much stress（压力）, which may be somewhat true, but ‎ whether having a job or not, there is always stress. Better to learn how to deal with busy schedules（日程表）in a controlled environment like high school than to be out on your own and alone in the future, experiencing stress for the first time. I personally would be worried about the teenager who has to become independent without having any experience of working.‎ The biggest reason teens should work is that it is a healthy way of making money. There are many things teens need to pay for and they cannot do it if they don’t have a job. Not all parents can pay for these activities. My dad told me, “Having a job is a good way to save up for things you are going to need or want to do. You get a lot more out of things if you pay for them yourself.” The sooner kids make money, the sooner they can learn how to use money wisely. If they are not allowed to work in high school, they may have a hard time in the future. Teens should, without a doubt, be allowed to work on school nights.‎ ‎56. The word “hindrance” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_______”.‎ A. something that encourages teens to study B. something that helps teens improve study C. something that prevents teens from studying D. something that makes teens lose interest in study ‎57. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?‎ A. Teens are too busy with study to work at high school.‎ B. Teens experience stress for the first time at high school.‎ C. Teens are worried about being independent in the future.‎ D. Teens who work will deal with stress better in the future.‎ ‎58. Which of the following is true according to the passage?‎ A. Working makes teens get lower grades.‎ B. Working teaches teens to spend money more wisely.‎ C. Working helps teens to get on better with their parents.‎ D. Working stops teens from taking part in after-school activities.‎ ‎59. What does the passage mainly talk about?‎ A. What money means to teens.‎ B. Why teens should work after school.‎ C. Whether parents should help teens find jobs.‎ D. How teens get money for after-school activities.‎ 七、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项 中有一项为多余项。（共 8 分，每小题 2 分）‎ Anna and Jane had tickets for a pop concert in London. They were very excited about the concert. They had planned their day in London very carefully. They worked out which trains to catch, where to eat and where they wanted to go shopping. 60 .

For example, “Mom, I promise I’m going to tidy my room when I get back from school.” However, promises you make to yourself are resolutions, and the most common kind is New Year’s resolutions. The start of the year is often a time for making resolutions. When we make resolutions at the beginning of the year, we hope that we are going to improve our lives. Some people write down their resolutions and plans for the coming year. This helps to remember their resolutions. Others tell their family and friends about their wishes and plans.‎ There are different kinds of resolutions. Some are about physical health. For example, some people promise themselves they are going to start an exercise program or eat less fast food. Many resolutions have to do with self-improvement. These are about making yourself a better person.‎ Some people might say they are going to take up a hobby like painting or taking photos, or learn to play the guitar. Some resolutions have to do with better planning, like making a weekly plan for schoolwork. For example, a student may have to find more time to study.‎ Although there are differences, most resolutions have one thing in common. People hardly ever keep them! There are good reasons for this. Sometimes the resolutions may be too difficult to keep. Sometimes people just forget about them. For this reason, some people say the best resolution is to have no resolutions! How about you — will you make any next year?‎ ‎64. Is a resolution a promise you make to other people?‎ ‎65. When do people often make resolutions?‎ ‎66.
