This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem — inability to read.‎ ‎ In the library, I found my way into the “Children’s Room.” I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.‎ ‎ There on the book’s cover was a beagle which looked identical to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.‎ ‎ Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.‎ ‎ My mother’s call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.‎ I never told my mother about my “miraculous” (奇迹般地) experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.‎ ‎21. The author’s mother told him to borrow a book in order to __________.‎ A. encourage him to do more walking B. let him spend a meaningful summer C. help cure him of his reading problem D. make him learn more about weapons ‎22.The book caught the author’s eye because __________.‎ A. it contained pretty pictures of animals B. it reminded him of his own dog C. he found its title easy to understand D. he liked children’s stories very much ‎23. Why could the author manage to read the book through?‎ ‎ A. He was forced by his mother to read it. ‎ B. He had a good understanding of the story in the book.‎ C. The book told the story of his pet dog. D. The happy ending of the story attracted him.‎ ‎24. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?‎ A. The author has become a successful writer. ‎ B. The author’s mother read the same book.‎ C. The author’s mother rewarded him with books.‎ D. The author has had happy summers ever since.‎ ‎25. Which one could be the best title of the passage?‎ A. The Charm of a Book B. Mum’s Strict Order C. Reunion with My Beagle D. My Passion for ‎Reading B In order to increase their job chances after college, Chinese students are turning to a special practice—Eiffel Tower nose jobs (鼻整形手术). The latest trend in plastic surgery promises to create a nose that is similar to the curve of the Eiffel Tower.‎ Surgeon Wang Xuming said: “We are influenced by the beauty of the Eiffel‎ ‎Tower. We are not content to just add something to the nose; we reconstruct it.” The surgery costs about US$ 10,000 and involves the enlarging of the nose using tissue from the forehead.‎ Hundreds of posters advertising the procedure are put up all over Chongqing city, where surgeon Xuming runs his private practice. They show a western-looking woman with an almost-too-perfect nose, against an outline of the Eiffel‎ ‎Tower.‎ Interestingly, many young women in China are eager to achieve a western appearance, as they believe it will give them an advantage in the highly competitive job market. “Some ‎ students face a lot of employment pressure after graduation. If their facial features are good, they’ll have more chances of finding a job,” said surgeon Xuming. “We’ve had students getting the Eiffel‎ ‎Tower nose; it’s helped them a lot.”‎ Apparently, Chinese employers are quite particular about appearances and prefer attractive candidates. Some of them even go as far as putting height and weight requirements in their employment ads. Plastic surgeons across the country are reporting an increase in the number of students choosing beauty “improvement”.‎ According to a Mr. Li, hospital manager at surgeon Xuming’s clinic, most of their customers are female and the bill is taken care of by the family. “They usually come in with their mothers, and tend to be from well-off backgrounds.” he said.‎ Personally, I don’t think it so important to “improve” our appearance as long as we are skilled at our jobs. We can’t decide how we look, but we can decide how well we live and work.‎ ‎26. Why do Chinese college students choose to have a nose operation?‎ A. To have more chances of getting a job. B. To gain a real westerner appearance.‎ C. To Take good care of their family. D. To look like the Eiffel‎ ‎Tower. ‎ ‎27. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?‎ A. The city of Chongqing. B. A plastic surgery procedure.‎ C. The posters advertising the surgery. D. Xuming’s private practice ‎28. According to the passage, what do Chinese employers tend to pay more attention to when ‎ hiring workers?‎ A.related experience B. qualifications and qualities ‎ C. physical beauty D. competence and characters ‎ ‎29. What can we learn from Mr. Li’s words?‎ A. Most families can’t afford the expensive operation.‎ B. Their customers are usually from wealthy families.‎ C. Patients can be well looked after at the clinic.‎ D. The number of plastic surgeons is increasing.‎ ‎30. Which of the following will the author probably agree with?‎ A. Chinese employers only care about their employees’ appearance.‎ B. Chinese students are content with the shape of their noses.‎ C. A western face looks prettier than a Chinese one.‎ D. Skills at work speak louder than appearance. ‎ 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。‎ How to Become an Activist ‎ Activists are people who see the need for change and devote their time to doing something about it. 31 If you are interested in it you can do so.‎ ‎ 32 .

You know it's just impossible for me to do as well in them as in English.‎ ‎(Text 3)‎ W: What's the forecast for tomorrow?‎ M: I think it said it's going to be quite dark and cloudy in the morning, but it might brighten up later.‎ W: Well, so long as it doesn't rain. I'm going on a picnic tomorrow with Judith and Peter.‎ ‎(Text 4)‎ M: Mom, which day do you think would be the best day for me to plan a charity dinner party? The term's nearly over — it ends on January 26th.‎ W: Well, when will the last examination be held?‎ M: Most of the exams finish this Friday, but there are some music exams that go on until the 23rd. That's next Monday.‎ W: I think you'd better wait until after that.‎ ‎(Text 5)‎ W:Aaaagh!‎ M: What are you shouting for? I haven't given you the injection yet.‎ W: Could you just give me some pills? I hate injections. They usually hurt and then they make me fall asleep.‎ M: Oh, this won't make you fall asleep.

I don't know why you didn't clean up before you left. You know I can't stand being in a dirty apartment.‎ M: Honestly, I don't see the harm in leaving it for a while. My friends and I were a bit drunk, and it seemed wrong to make them wait for me to clean. I'm sorry.‎ ‎(Text 8)‎ M: Jane, could you review the results of the survey on sporting activities again? I'm planning out our proposal for today's business meeting. I think we should consider expanding our line of athletic shoes. Maybe we consider developing a new market — targeting sports clothes or equipment.‎ W: Sure, Sam. I've summarized the results, broken down by consumer age groups and sporting activities. The survey was carried out among people between the ages of 18 and 55, and the results have been organized in terms of the following age groups: 18-to-26, 27-to-35,‎ ‎36-to-45, and 46-to-55.‎ M: Okay.‎ W: People in the last two groups reported jogging as their favorite recreational sport followed by skiing, tennis, swimming, and cycling.‎ M: What about these groups broken down by gender?‎ W: Thanks for bringing that up.

You see green in all his paintings but the color he likes most is orange.‎ W: Who taught him to paint?‎ M: His mum was his first teacher. She draws pictures for children's books. Will's grandfather is an artist too. I'm sure Will learned a lot from him, too.‎ W: Where does Will work?‎ M: He's got his own room at home to work in. He draws and paints people's faces more than anything else. There's an online video where you can watch him paint a picture of his own face.‎ W:And does he sell his paintings?‎ M: Yes. He sold his first painting last winter but lots of people are buying them now. Next summer he'll have a big exhibition in the USA. I think he's going to be very famous.‎ ‎(Text 10)‎ Good morning!

I am writing to tell you how serious the traffic congestion near our school is.‎ ‎ The street in front of our school gate is called Youai Road, on both sides of which are many shops and restaurants. During rush hour every day, especially at noon, stalls selling small goods and food fill the street, which makes it extremely difficult for students and traffic to get through. As a consequence, the students have a hard time coming in or going out of school. Additionally, the street looks dirty and messy, with so many plastic bags and waste water here and there. ‎ In my opinion, we students should be exposed to clean and quiet surroundings, where we will feel happy to live and study.
