stressfree，” she said，“But if I get the chance to study in the US，I will have to study hard right now and I'll also cherish every moment there.”‎ A key feature of overseas study classes is that

that went something like: “If you live each day as if it were your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right．” It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself, “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?”‎ Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered（遇到）to help me make the big choice in life．‎ About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer．The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that was incurable, and that I would live no longer than three to six months．My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is my doctors’ code for preparing yourself to die．‎ I lived with that diagnosis all day．I was completely in despair．Later that evening, I had another biopsy（活组织检查）and my wife told me that tumor turned to be curable with surgery．I had the surgery and I’m fine now．‎ This was the closest I’ve been to facing death．To tell the truth, no one wants to die．And yet death is the destination we all share．No one has ever escaped it．It clears out the old to make room for the new．Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away．‎ Your time is so limited that you shouldn’t waste it repeating someone else’s life．Don’t be trapped by dogma（教条）—— which is living with the results of other people’s thinking．Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice．And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart．It somehow already knows what you truly want to become．Everything else is secondary．‎ ‎1. The doctor advised the author to go home and get his affairs in order because________．‎ ‎ A．he had to rest at home ‎ B．his disease was not serious at all ‎ ‎ C．his disease couldn’t be cured ‎ D．he had to wait for the result of the test ‎2．How did the author feel after the diagnosis?‎ ‎ A．Angry． B．Excited． C．Optimistic． D．Hopeless． ‎ ‎3．What does the author think of death?‎ ‎ A．He thinks it is nothing to be scared of． ‎ B．He thinks it is not the end of life．‎ ‎ C．He thinks it is impossible to avoid． ‎ D．He thinks it is the beginning of a new life．‎ ‎4．In the author’s opinion, we should ____________．‎ ‎ A．follow others’ advice ‎ B．take no notice of diseases ‎ ‎ C．take exercise and keep healthy ‎ D．have the courage to follow our heart 参考答案 A) CDCD ‎ ‎********************************************结束 B ‎“Soon, you’re going to move it out!” cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind, or at least known in my neighborhood.‎ One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1.25 in the spring, has already taken over much of ‎ my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door.‎ Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren’t for the pleasure they give, it wouldn’t be worth the work. As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year. bushes must be pruned (剪枝) in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake.‎ Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing (施肥) have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves.‎ Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold：First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw (缩回) my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June. But they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light.‎ Here I am faced with a painful small decision: To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind, I’ll think about that tomorrow.‎ ‎5. What are the requirements for the healthy growth of rose?‎ A. A lot of care and the right soil. ‎ B.

By saying “the prize so dearly won” in paragraph 5, the writer wants to ________.‎ A. show the difficulty in picking the tomatoes ‎ B. show the hardship of growing the roses C. express her liking for the roses ‎ D. express her care for the tomatoes 参考答案B) ACDA ‎ ‎*********************************************结束 C ‎ Beijing ---- A recent Chinese blockbuster （轰动旳作品） “A World Without Thieves” is based on the experiences of a young migrant worker （民工）carrying 60,000 yuan on a train packed with thieves．But while the image of a warm-hearted but somewhat naive migrant worker may have made film fans chuckle, it’s a sure bet that most of China’s migrant workers are yet to step into a cinema to admire it．‎ ‎ “Forty yuan a ticket? I can’t afford it,” said Shen Jie, a migrant worker at a construction site in Dongzhimen, east Beijing．‎ ‎ Shen found it hard to remember when he last watched a film, or what it was about．“It must be 10 years ago,” he said．‎ ‎ Though they are the builders of the nation’s theaters and cinemas, a limited cultural life is common among China’s 120 million migrant workers．‎ ‎ Shen arrived from East China’s Zhejiang Province in1991．Life was better then; money seemed to come more easily．“Now, as more and more workers are rushing to the capital, it’s too hard to earn money, and none of us dare think about watching films,” he said．‎ ‎ For many like Shen, the dream is earning enough to pay for their children’s education so they can find jobs in the cities and say goodbye to the hardships of rural life forever．This drives them to work hard and save as much as possible．‎ ‎ With a monthly salary of less than 500 yuan, Shen has to send money home to his little son and silver-haired parents．‎ ‎ In Shen’s small dormitory, which he shares with seven other co-workers, there is a well-thumbed copy of a magazine published in 1998．‎ ‎ A recent survey by local media revealed that 80 percent of migrant workers spent their spare time sleeping and chatting because of exhaust and a lack of income．The same survey found that 47 percent of migrant workers have to work for more than 10 hours a day．Around 40 percent do not even possess a book, and nearly 60 percent say they are dissatisfied with their cultural life．‎ ‎ Like many of Shen’s co-workers, reading newspapers and hanging out in Beijing’s streets provide evening entertainment．‎ ‎ From China Daily ‎9．We can infer from the passage “A World Without Thieves” is a film that __________．‎ ‎ A．talks about experiences of a group of thieves ‎ B．deals with the life of migrant workers ‎ C．explains how to catch thieves on trains ‎ D．attracts many migrant workers ‎10．As for the migrant worker, Shen Jie, ____________．‎ ‎ A．life was harder when he first came to work in Beijing ‎ B．he enjoyed a lot of films ten years ago ‎ C．his wish was to pay for his son’s education ‎ ‎ D．the capital is too hard a place for him to make any money ‎11．According the passage, which of the following is TRUE _________．‎ ‎ A．the workers enjoy reading very much, no matter how old the magazines are ‎ ‎ B．the workers have so little to read that they often read the same magazine again and again ‎ C．the workers enjoy magazines because they are easy to understand ‎ D．the workers think highly of the copy of the magazine published in 1998‎ ‎12．The main idea of this passage is that migrant workers _________．‎ ‎ A．lack cultural experiences ‎ B．are not very well-paid in Beijing ‎ C．are looked down upon by city people ‎ D．need the government’s attention 参考答案C) DCBA ‎ ‎*****************************************************结束
