第一部分 阅读理解 (共两节, 满分40分)‎ A ‎ Agnes Miller was one of the earliest leaders of the Women’s Liberation Movement in the United States. She was born on a farm in Missouri in 1892. Strangely enough she had a very happy life as a child. She was the only daughter and the youngest child of five. Her parents and her brothers always treated her as their favorite.‎ In 1896 the family moved to Chicago. Three years later they moved back to St. Louis where Agnes spent the rest of her childhood. She enjoyed her years in school and was an excellent student of mathematics. She also was quite skillful as a painter.‎ It was when Agnes went off to college that she first learned that women were not treated as equals. She didn’t like being treated unequally but she tried not to notice it. After graduating from college she tried to get a job in her major field—physics. She soon found it was almost impossible for a woman.‎ Agnes spent a full year looking for a job. Finally she gave up in anger. She began writing letters of anger to various newspapers. An editor in New York liked her ideas very much. He specially liked her style. He asked her to do a series of stories on the difficulties that women had in finding a job. And there she began her great fight for equal rights for women.‎ ‎1. Where did Agnes spend her childhood?‎ ‎ A. Missouri. B. Chicago.‎ ‎ C. New York. D. St. Louis and Chicago.‎ ‎2.

But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.‎ One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be ‎ astonished. Gently shaking his head, and shrugging his shoulders, he said, “You don’t say!” “You don’t say!” I was puzzled. I thought perhaps this was not an appropriate topic(适当的话题). “Well, I’d better change the topic.” So I said to him. “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It is magnificent.” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide. “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it.” Soon I was interrupted again by his words: “You don’t say!” I couldn’t help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?” “Well, I didn’t request you to do so,” he answered, greatly surprised. I said, “Didn’t you say ‘You don’t say?’” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, “‘You don’t say’ actually means ‘really’! It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don’t pay attention to English idioms.” Only then did I know I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions. Remember: what the English teachers said is always right to us students.‎ ‎4.A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms because____.‎ A. English idioms were not important B.

The Englishman wanted me to act as his guide.‎ D. The Englishman visited the Great Wall and thought it worth visiting.‎ C ‎ Now, the VOA Special English program WORDS AND THEIR STORIES.‎ ‎ People use their mouths for many things. They eat, talk, shout and sing. They smile and they kiss. In the English language, there are many expressions using the word mouth. But some of them are not so nice.‎ ‎ For example, if you say bad things about a person, the person might protest and say “Do not bad mouth me.”‎ ‎ Sometimes, people say something to a friend or a family member that they later regret because it hurts that person’s feelings. Or they tell the person something they were not supposed to tell. The speaker might say: “I really put my foot in my mouth this time.” If this should happen, the speaker might feel down in the mouth. In other words, he might feel sad for saying the wrong thing.‎ Another situation is when someone falsely claims another person said something. The other person might protest: “I did not say that. Do not put words in my mouth.”‎ ‎ Information is often spread through word of mouth. This is general communication between people, like friends talking to each other. “How did you hear about that new movie?” someone might ask. “Oh, by word of mouth.” A more official way of getting information is through a company or government mouthpiece. This is an official spokesperson. Government-run media could also be called a mouthpiece.‎ ‎ Sometimes when one person is speaking, he says the same thing that his friend was going to say. When this happens, the friend might say: “You took the words right out of my mouth!” Sometimes a person has a bad or unpleasant experience with another person. He might say that experience “left a bad taste in my mouth.” Or the person might have had a very frightening experience, like being chased by an angry dog. He might say: “I had my heart in my mouth.”‎ ‎ Some people have lots of money because they were born into a very rich family. There is an expression for this, too. You might say such a person, “was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.” This rich person is the opposite of a person who lives from hand to mouth. This person is very poor and only has enough money for the most important things in life, like food.‎ ‎ Parents might sometimes withhold sweet food from a child as a form of punishment for saying bad things. For example, if a child says things she should not say to her parents, she might be described as a mouthy child. The parents might even tell the child to stop mouthing off.‎ ‎ But enough of all this talk. I have been running my mouth long enough.‎ ‎8.Which of the following can best describe his or her feeling if a speaker feels down in the mouth?‎ A. Delighted B. Regretful C. Disappointed D. Respectful ‎9.When your car was close to knocking into a truck, you might say “_______”‎ A. I really put my foot in my mouth this time. ‎ B. I had my heart in my mouth.‎ C. I live from hand to mouth. ‎ D.I get to know it by word of mouth.‎ ‎10．According to the passage, which behavior is surely Not welcome?‎ a. bad mouthing somebody b. mouthing off about something c. putting words in somebody’s mouth d. taking the words right out of somebody’s mouth A. abc B. abd C. bcd D. acd ‎11．What do “I” probably (in the last Para.) do?‎ A. A host B. A journalist C. A director D. A listener D Having spring around makes you feel different after such a long winter journey. The power of sunshine brings us a lot of comfort, optimism, self-confidence and of course a smile. Imagine how great it will be if we are so positive all year round!‎ Living like this is possible if you really think about it. In order to exist in such a state of happiness, we must have sunshine radiating from within ourselves, shining from our hearts, minds and souls. Actually，that’s your choice, and if you think that way then your own life will reflect that attitude of yours!‎ In order to make “sunshine” or rather, “light” part of our being, it is so important that you watch your thoughts, your words and your actions so that you will accept what you really feel you’d like to create in your own life. Watch your thoughts and really become aware of how many negative thoughts pass through your mind about yourself and other people around you. Watch to see how often you gossip (说闲话）about other people, which is actually often attached with feelings of jealousy (妒忌）and insecurity about yourself.‎ You are also supposed to take a close look at your “intention”. How many of you do something for another person without expecting to receive something in return? It might not even have to be a material or physical thing you expect； expecting to be recognized for what you have done is enough to create conditions on Having spring around makes you feel differentyour intention. Think about it!‎ Putting all of these together, it seems that most of us are creating monsters inside us just by simply talking, thinking and not putting our heart out with the right intention towards helping someone else. If you take all your negative attitudes in one hand and measure your need to feel “sunshine“ in the other, you will see how both these elements really contradict each other.‎ Be brave and break your patterns and your habits this spring, and by doing ‎ so，you will allow the true sunshine to take place by radiating out from your heart and into your life and the lives of the people around you!‎ ‎12.You can have sunshine shining from your inside .‎ A. by measuring what you need ‎ B. by helping someone else C. by watching what you think, say and do D. by changing your intention ‎13.According to the writer, you don’t feel secure about yourself when you .‎ A. gossip about other people B. take a close look at your intention C. expect to be recognized for what you’ve done D. become aware of your negative thoughts ‎14．What can be inferred from the passage?‎ A.Expecting something in return for our help isn’t the right intention.‎ B. Breaking our patterns is the most important to get true sunshine.‎ C. If we don-t intend to help others, we create monsters inside us.‎ D. Negative attitudes have little to do with happiness.‎ ‎15．The passage is written mainly to_________.‎ A. stress the importance of the positive life style B. analyze the intentions and thoughts in our mind C. offer advice on having sunshine from our inside D. warn us about the bad effects of negative attitudes ‎ 第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10分)‎ ‎ Forgiveness To forgive is a virtue, but no one has ever said it is easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research.‎ ‎______16_______ Try the following steps:‎ Calm yourself. ______17_______ You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.‎ Don’t wait for an apology.
