Kevin Taylor B ‎ Three Boys and a Dad ‎  Brad closed the door slowly as Sue left home to visit her mother. Expecting a whole day to relax, he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favourite TV talk show on his first day off in months. “This will be like a walk in the park,” he’d told his wife. “I’ll look after the kids, and you can go visit your mom.”‎ ‎  Things started well, but just after eight o’clock, his three little “good kids”—Mike, Randy, and Alex—came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted “breakfast, daddy.” Brad realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.‎ ‎  Life became worse after breakfast. Mike wore Randy’s underwear on his head. Randy locked himself in the bathroom, while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants. Nobody could find clean socks, although they were before their very eyes. Someone named “Not Me” had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes. Brad knew the talk show had already started.‎ ‎  By ten o’clock, things were out of control. Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter. Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his colour pencils. Randy, thankfully, appeared to be reading quietly in the family room, but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands. Brad realized that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible.‎ At exactly11:17, Brad called the daycare centre (日托所). “I suddenly have to go into work and my wife’s away. Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes?” The answer was obviously “yes” because Brad was smiling.‎ ‎ 4. When his wife left home, Brad expected to __________.‎ ‎  A. go out for a walk in the park B. watch TV talk show with his children ‎ C. read the newspaper to his children D. enjoy his first day off work ‎ 5. Which of the following did Randy do?‎ ‎  A. Drew on the wall. B. Read in a room . ‎ ‎ C. Fed the fish. D. Ate apple jam.‎ ‎6. Why did Brad ask the daycare centre for help?‎ ‎  A. Because he wanted to clean up his house.‎ ‎ B. Because he suddenly had to go to his office.‎ C. Because he found it hard to manage his boys.‎ D. Because he had to take his wife back home.‎ ‎ 7. This text is developed _________.‎ ‎  A. by space B. by comparison C. by time D. by process ‎ C Dear Kate,‎ ‎    It s really good to know you are covering for me while I’m away on the training course. Thanks so much. Knowing that you’ll be teaching the kids has made me relaxed. I’m sure you’ll get on fine with them. I thought I should leave you some notes on a couple of things that are planned for this week,and other advice that will hopefully see you through to next Friday!‎ ‎ ·Tuesday: The class is going to visit the Dinosaur Museum. Make sure they take their notebooks and remind them on Monday to bring a packed lunch and the entrance money.‎ ‎ ·Thursday: I ve promised them they can watch a Disney DVD as a special treat. It’s in my locker. There are some worksheets (活页练习题) to go with it. By the way,don't worry about marking them — I’ll do it when I’m back.‎ ‎ ·You know, the head teacher is on the warpath about being late,so be warned!If you get to school even a minute past 8:15, she’s I likely to give you a real telling-off.‎ ‎ Seriously,though,you’ll have a great week — the kids are wonderful. Don't let Mark and Jack sit together and you shouldn’t have any disciplinary (纪律的) problems!Which reminds me,if you do have any problems,just tell the head. She's very supportive when it comes to discipline. One last thing — could you leave notes on what you do,please?‎ ‎                                             Best wishes, ‎ ‎                                                Stef ‎8. Why did Stef write the letter to Kate?‎ ‎   A. To talk about the training course.‎ ‎   B. To invite her to the Dinosaur Museum.‎ ‎   C. To tell her what to do when she's away.‎ ‎   D.

We can infer from the letter that Mark and Jack_______.‎ ‎   A. always sit together B. might not get along well ‎   C. are very good students     D. don't like Disney movies ‎ D Spring is coming, and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs. Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing, our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.‎ ‎ A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos (纹身)nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you can't judge a book by its cover, yet people do "cover" themselves in order to convey (传递)certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances? So do companies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.‎ ‎ Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees (雇员),because those people represent the companies to their customers.‎ ‎ As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are plenty of well-qualified candidates, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am open-minded, I can't expect all our customers are.‎ ‎ There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.‎ ‎12. Which of the following is the newspaper editor’s opinion according to Paragraph 2?‎ ‎ A. People's appearances carry messages about themselves.‎ ‎ B. Customers' choices influence dress standards in companies.‎ ‎ C. Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated.‎ ‎ D. Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace.‎ ‎13. What can be inferred from the text?‎ ‎ A. Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview.‎ ‎ B. What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies.‎ ‎ C. Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates.‎ ‎ D. Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates.‎ ‎14. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?‎ ‎ A. Employees Matter B. Personal Choices Matter ‎ C. Appearances Matter D. Hiring Managers Matter ‎15. The author's attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace may best be ‎ described as .‎ ‎ A. enthusiastic B. negative ‎ ‎ C. positive D. sympathetic 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。‎ Money Matters      Parents should help their children understand money. 16___So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example.       l.

She made some dolls for me and my two elder sisters. I 21 playing with them, but still, secretly, I hoped for a store-bought 22 like the one our rich cousin had. Her doll 23 open and close its blue glass eyes and even say "Mamma". I 24 stopped admiring it and hoping to have one.‎ ‎ However, my dream 25 came true when I was six.

Several months later, they got more like real children----their 33 and bodies became dirtier; their dresses got stained; their hair less smooth.‎ ‎ But, by then, 34 interests seemed to have moved into 35 toys. Their dolls were abandoned and in bad condition. One had 36 one of her arms, and 37 was one-legged."You can 38 them if you want," my sisters said to me. Thus, I had 39 dolls. They were more or less handicapped (残疾) and they often looked at me as if they needed me to 40 them. I enjoyed this feeling of being needed----being the only one in the world who could protect them with a lot of love. Indeed, they made the rest of my childhood days very happy.‎ ‎(    )21.
