As soon as he saw me he started smiling. He could not talk but I pretended the sharks were eating his cereal and his laugh melted the hearts of everyone walking by.‎ One of the teachers told me that he was actually very smart, he just could not control his muscles due to a childhood disease. He was happy and very popular at his school—his parents’ love and encouragement made all the difference. On the contrary—at a book signing session, I met a girl by the name of Anne. She walked up with her mom with a bright smile. Anne asked about my book with a slur(含糊地发音)in her speech indicating a slight head-injury. I told her about it and she smiled the whole time and asked me to sign one for her. I did.‎ Five minutes later, I heard a voice from Anne’s father, “you know you will not understand the book. You can’t read well enough. You aren’t smart enough.” He said it so loudly that people were staring in their direction. She was absolutely crushed and her bright smile was now replaced with a look of total despair. He took the book from her and brought it back to me and asked me to take it back. I asked him if he would allow me to purchase the book for Anne. He said no with a heartless response. I thought back to David. He could not speak, walk, run or play but was actually very happy and even doing well I school because of the love and encouragement of his parents. Anne on the other hand had a slight learning problem and may never know happiness of success because of a stern(苛刻的)father.‎ What kind of parent are you? The truth is that whatever you are telling your kids makes the difference between their success or failure in life.‎ ‎25. What is David’s problem?‎ ‎ A. He has a mental block B. He can’t speak and read ‎ C. He suffers a muscles’ disease D. He isn’t smart enough ‎26. In comparison to Anne, David is lucky because______.‎ ‎ A. his teachers are kind and caring B. his disability is not serious ‎ C. his parents love and encourage him D. his parents feel sympathy for him ‎27. Hearing her father’s words, Anne felt_____.‎ ‎ A. light-hearted B. hear-broken C. cautious D. doubtful ‎28. The author is probably______.‎ ‎ A. a writer B. a doctor C. a teacher D. a lawyer C It is believed that taste is actually a memory of childhood. Local specialty food may not be popular among all people, but it offers outsiders a glimpse of local culture and history.‎ Gongcheng “oil tea” is such a kind of food that would be considered “weird” by many first-time visitors to the remote county in the north of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Many people dislike its bitter and astringent（涩的）flavor when they take a sip.‎ ‎“It felt like drinking Chinese herbal medicine. I never expected that I would gradually accept it afterwards, and even become addicted to it,” said a traveler surnamed Zhang who comes from Shijiazhuang in northern China’s Hebei province.‎ Langshan village is said to be the birthplace of Gongcheng “oil tea” whose ideal ingredients are green tea and fermented(发酵的) tea. The village has preserved well its buildings and roads dating back to late Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), as well as its traditional way of making the special tea.‎ Lin Fengyou, 60, introduced the cooking process. She looks younger than her age, and attributes this to the benefits of drinking “oil tea” throughout the year.‎ The first procedure is to use a wooden hammer to pound the tea while heating it in an iron pot, and then add edible oil and boiled water afterwards. She filters off the solid residues（余渣）, and pours the glue-like green tea soup into bowls. Then, she adds salt, caraway seed, green onion, dried rice, fried groundnuts, sliced taro and fried beans.‎ The taste of the “oil tea” is a mixture of the distinctive flavors of all its ingredients. Local people usually eat it together with glutinous rice（糯米） balls, rice dumplings and glutinous rice cake.‎ The villagers consume “oil tea” three times a day. The tea soup is a healthy and refreshing food. “The tea soup to us is coffee to Westerners”, said Lin. “But it is tastier.”‎ ‎29. Visitors may find “oil tea” _____ when taking a sip for the first time.‎ ‎ A. appealing B. beneficial C. addicted D. strange ‎30. Which of the following statements is TRUE?‎ ‎ A. The ingredients of green tea have been well preserved since Qing Dynasty ‎ B. “Oil tea”, like Chinese herbal medicine, is useful to treat diseases ‎ C. Lin Fengyou thinks drinking “oil tea” makes her look younger.‎ ‎ D. “Oil tea”, tasting like coffee, is welcome by local villagers ‎31. Where does this passage probably come from?‎ ‎ A. Travel notes B. Documents C. A news report D. A history textbook.‎ D ‎ Nowadays, many countries are faced with the challenge of how to maintain their identity in the face of globalization and the growing multi-language trend. “One of the main reasons for economic failure in many African countries is the fact that, with a few important exceptions, mother-tongue education is not practiced in any of the independent African states.” said Neville Alexander, Director of the Project for the Study of Alternative Education in South Ak’b’bvfrica at the University of Cape Town.‎ ‎ In response to the spread of English and the increased multi-language trends arising from immigration, many countries have introduced language laws in the last decade. In some, the use of languages other than the national language is banned in public spaces such as advertising posters. One of the first such legal provisions(规定)was the 1994 “Toubon law” in France, and the idea has been copied in many countries since then. Such efforts to govern language use are often considered as futile by language experts, who are well aware of the difficulty in controlling fashions in speech and know from research that language switching among bilinguals is a natural process.‎ ‎ It is especially difficult for native speakers of English to understand the desire to maintain the “purity” of a language by law. Since the time of Shakespeare, English has continually absorbed foreign words into its own language. English is one of the most mixed and rapidly changing languages in the world, but that has not been a barrier to acquiring superiority and power. Another reason for the failure of many native English speakers to understand the role of the state regulation is that it has never been the Anglo-Saxon way of doing things. English has never had a state-controlled authority for the language, similar, for example, to the Academic Francaise in France.‎ ‎ The need to protect national languages is, for most western Europeans, a recent phenomenon-especially the need to ensure that English does not unnecessarily take over too many fields. Public communication, education and new ways of communication promoted by technology, may be key fields to defend.‎ ‎32. Neville Alexander believes that ____.‎ ‎ A. mother-tongue education is not practiced in all African countries ‎ B. lack of mother-tongue education can lead to economic failure ‎ C. globalization has led to the rise of multi-language trend ‎ D. globalization has resulted in the economic failure of Africa ‎33. The underlined word “futile”(in paragraph 2) most probably means “___________”.‎ A. practical B. reasonable C. unnecessary D. useless ‎34. What can we infer from the last paragraph?‎ ‎ A. Most language experts believe it is important to promote a national language ‎ B. Europeans have long realized the need to protect a national language ‎ C. English has taken over fields like public communication and education ‎ D. Many aspects of national culture are the threatened by the spread of English ‎35. The best title for the passage is _________. ‎ ‎ A. Protecting local languages and identities B. Globalization and multi-language trend ‎ C. To maintain the purity of language by law D. fighting against the rule of English 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。‎ ‎ No matter what you have, great ambitions or small dreams, by setting goals you can plan how you want to move through life. Some achievements can take a lifetime to attain. 36 No matter what goals you are setting, getting started can be difficult, but we’ll show you how to build up to even the biggest dream.‎ ‎☆Determine your life goals. 37 What you want to achieve: today, in a year, in your lifetime? The answer to this question can be as general as “I want to be happy,” or “I want to help people.” A career life goal might be to open your own business. A fitness goal might be to become fit. These goals can be amazingly broad.‎ ‎☆Set priorities(优先的事物). At any given moment, you probably have a number of goals all in different states of completion. 38 If you find yourself with too many goals, you’re going to feel lost and are less likely to accomplish them.‎ ‎☆Keep track of your progress. Writing in a journal is a great way to keep track of both personal and professional progress. Acknowledging the progress made towards a certain goal is key to staying motivated. 39 Asking a friend to keep you on track can also help you stay focused.‎ ‎☆ 40 Once you have achieved goals---even major life goals---you will want to continue to grow and set new goals for yourself. Once you run your marathon, you should assess what’ you’d like to do next. Do you want to run another marathon, but improve your time? Or do you want to run longer distance?‎ A. Keep setting goals.‎ B. So be realistic about your goals.‎ C. It may even encourage you to work harder.‎ D. Others, however, can be completed in the course of a day.‎ E. Break the big picture down into smaller and more specific goals.‎ F. So deciding which goals are more important than others is important.‎ G. Ask yourself some important questions about what you want for your life.‎ 第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 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和D）中，选出可以填入空格处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ ‎ My name is Kelli and I work in a university.
