I got to know Dorothy in the early 1980s, when I was teaching Early Childhood Development through a program with Union College in Barbourville, Kentucky. The job responsibilities required occasional visits to the classroom of each teacher in the program. Dorothy stands out in my memory as one who “bloomed” in her remote area.‎ Dorothy taught in a school In Harlan County, Kentucky, Appalachian Mountain area. To get to her school from the town of Harlan, I followed a road winding around the mountain. In the eight-mile journey, I crossed the same railroad track five times, giving the possibility of getting caught by the same train five times. Rather than feeling excited by this drive through the mountains, I found it depressing. The poverty level was shocking and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness.‎ From the moment of my arrival at the little school, all gloom disappeared. Upon arriving at Dorothy’s classroom. I was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen. The children had been prepared to show me their latest projects. Dorothy told me with a big smile that they were serving poke greens salad and cornbread for “dinner” (lunch). In case you don’t know, poke greens are a weed-type plant that grows wild, especially on poor ground.‎ Dorothy never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students. Her enthusiasm never cooled down. When it came time to sit for the testing and interviewing required to receive her Child Development Associate Certification, Dorothy was ready. She came to the assessment and passed in all areas. Afterward, she invited me to the one-and-only steak house in the area to celebrate her victory, as if she had received her Ph. D. degree. After the meal, she placed a little box containing an old pen in my hand. She said it was a family treasure, but to me it is a symbol of appreciation and pride that cannot be matched with anything. ‎ 25. ‎ “Early Childhood Development” in Paragraph 1 refers to __________.‎ ‎ A. a course given by the author B. a program directed by Dorothy ‎ C. an activity held by the students D. an organization sponsored by Union college ‎26. Upon arriving at the classroom, the author was cheered up by __________.‎ ‎ A. the sight of poke greens B.

She got a pen as a gift from the author ‎ ‎ C. She passed the required assessment.‎ ‎ D. She received her Ph. D. Degree.‎ 1. ‎ What does the author mainly intend to tell us________‎ ‎ A. Whatever you do, you must do it carefully.‎ ‎ B. Whoever you are, you deserve equal treatment.‎ ‎ C. However poor you are, you have the right to education.‎ ‎ D. Wherever you are, you can accomplish your achievement.‎ C It seems it’s hard for graduates to hunt for a job. Recently I spoke to some of my students about what they wanted to do after they graduated, and what kind of job prospects they thought they had. ‎ Given that I teach students who are training to be doctors, I was surprised to find that most thought that they would not be able to get the jobs they wanted without “outside help”. “What kind of help is that?” I asked, expecting them to tell me that they would need a relative or family friend to help them out.‎ ‎“Surgery”, one replied. I was pretty surprised by that response. It seems that the graduates of today are increasingly willing to go under the knife to get ahead of others when it comes to getting a job. One girl told me that she was considering a surgery to increase her height. “They break your legs, put in special extending screws, and slowly expand the gap between the two ends of the bone as it regrows, you can get at least 5cm taller!”‎ At that point, I was shocked. I am short, I can’t deny that, but I don’t think I would put myself through months of agony just to be a few centimeters taller. I don’t even bother to wear shoes with thick soles, as I’m not trying to hide the fact that I am just not tall!‎ It seems to me that there is a trend toward wanting “perfection”, and that is an ideal that just does not exist in reality.‎ No one is born perfect, yet magazines, TV shows and movies present images of thin, tall, beautiful people as being the norm. Advertisements for slimming aids, beauty treatments and cosmetic surgery clinics fill the pages of newspapers, further creating an idea that “perfection” is a requirement, and that it must be purchased, no matter what the cost. In my opinion, skills, rather than appearance, should determine how successful a person is in his chosen career.‎ ‎29. Many graduates today turn to cosmetic surgery to______.‎ ‎ A. marry a better man/woman            B. get an advantage over others in job-hunt C. become a model D. attract more admirers ‎30. According to the passage, the author believes that ______.‎ A. everyone should purchase perfection, whatever the cost B. it’s right for graduates to ask for others to help them out in hunting for jobs C. media are to blame for misleading young people in their seeking for surgery D. it is one’s appearance instead of skills that really matters in one’s career ‎ ‎31. What does the word underlined mean?‎ ‎  A. Worry B. Anxiety C. Pain D. Anger ‎32. The best title for the passage should be ______.‎ ‎ A. Young Graduates Have Higher Expectation ‎ B. Young Graduates’ Opinion About Cosmetic Surgery ‎ C. Young Graduates Look to Surgery for Better Jobs ‎ D. Young Graduates Refuse a Different Situation in Job-hunt ‎ D If a diver surfaces too quickly, he may suffer the bends. Nitrogen (氮) dissolved (溶解) in his blood is suddenly given off by the reduction of pressure. The result, if the bubbles (气泡) gather in a joint, is sharp pain and a bent body—thus the name. If the bubbles form in his lungs or his brain, the result can be death.‎ Other air-breathing animals also suffer this decompression sickness if they surface too fast: whales, for example. And so, long ago, did ichthyosaurs. These ancient sea animals got the bends can be seen from their bones. If bubbles of nitrogen form inside the bone they can cut off its blood supply. This kills the cells in the bone, and consequently weakens it, sometimes to the point of collapse. Fossil bones that have caved in on themselves are thus a sign that the animal once had the bends.‎ Bruce Rothschild of the University of Kansas knew all this when he began a study of ichthyosaur bones to find out how widespread the problem was in the past. What he particularly wanted to investigate was how ichthyosaurs adapted to the problem of decompression over the 150 million years. To this end, he and his colleagues traveled the world’s natural-history museums, looking at hundreds of ichthyosaurs from the Triassic period and from the later Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.‎ When he started, he assumed that signs of the bends would be rarer in younger fossils, reflecting their gradual evolution of measures to deal with decompression. Instead, he was astonished to discover the opposite. More than 15% of Jurassic and Cretaceous ichthyosaurs had suffered the bends before they died, but not a single Triassic specimen showed evidence of that sort of injury.‎ If ichthyosaurs did evolve an anti-decompression means, they clearly did so quickly—and, most strangely, they lost it afterwards. But that is not what Dr Rothschild thinks happened. He suspects it was evolution in other animals that caused the change.‎ Whales that suffer the bends often do so because they have surfaced to escape a predator such as a large shark. One of the features of Jurassic oceans was an abundance of large sharks and crocodiles, both of which were fond of ichthyosaur lunches. Triassic oceans, by contrast, were mercifully shark- and crocodile-free. In the Triassic, then, ichthyosaurs were top of the food chain. In the Jurassic and Cretaceous, they were prey as well as predator—and often had to make a speedy exit as a result.‎ 33. ‎ Which of the following is a typical symptom of the bends?‎ A. A gradual decrease in blood supply. B. A sudden release of nitrogen in blood.‎ C. A drop in blood pressure. D. A twisted body.‎ ‎34. The purpose of Rothschild’s study is to see _____.‎ A. how often ichthyosaurs caught the bends B. why ichthyosaurs bent their bodies C. how ichthyosaurs adapted to decompression D. when ichthyosaurs broke their bones ‎35. Rothschild’s finding stated in Paragraph 4 _____.‎ A. confirmed his assumption B. disagreed with his assumption ‎ C. speeded up his research process D. changed his research objectives 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。‎ If you have ever been in a school play or even made believe you were a doctor, detective, or a space traveler, you know the enjoyment that acting brings. Almost all of us have the wish to play the part of someone-or something-else. 36 .‎ ‎ In the ancient world, acting was often connected with religious ceremonies and other special occasions. As far back as 2200 B.C. trained Chinese actors performed ceremonial dances in costume and makeup at harvest festivals. 37 To the dance was gradually added pantomime---the imitation of movements and gestures---as well as the wearing of masks, the singing of chants, and finally the use of dialogue.‎ While acting was coming into its own in the ancient Chinese classical theatre, it was doing the same in the western world, in Greece. From about 500 B.C. on, acting became a highly specialized art in Greece. Greek actors, however, still wore masks, and their motions were largely fixed by custom. ‎ ‎ 38 . ‎ ‎ Modern acting, by contrast, gives the individual actor great opportunity to develop his or her personal talents for serious, comic, or musical drama. The names, faces, and styles of famous movie actors are known worldwide. 39 A special form of acting takes place in radio drama, which was highly popular before television. In radio drama the actors face an unique challenge. They are unseen by their audience. So they must rely on voice alone to make their characters real to the listeners.‎ ‎ 40 Only forty percent of Broadway actors are employed, most of them for only part of the year. Those who become stars need not only talent, but determination. They must not be easily discouraged. Otherwise, they might give up before the opportunity for stardom presents itself.‎ A. Consequently, they had little opportunity to demonstrate their individual personalities.‎ B. Historical records indicate that this desire is as old as civilization itself. ‎ C. Drama in Greece began with festivals honoring Dionysus.‎ D. Acting is not, as many people think, a quick, easy road to fame and riches.‎ E. The origins of acting are in the act of remembering.‎ F. It is believed that this was the first step in the development of acting.‎ G. Broadway and television provide other stages on which actors can display their talent.‎ 第三部分:英语知识运用 完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)‎ Human growth is a process of experimentation, mistakes, and error eventually leading to wisdom. Each time you choose to trust yourself and take action, you can never quite be sure how the situation will 41 .‎ Sometimes you are victorious, and sometimes you become disappointed. The 42 experiments,‎ however, are no less valuable than the experiments that finally prove successful; In fact, you 43 learn more from your “failures ”than you do from your 44 . If you have made what you think to be a mistake or failed to realize your own 45 ,you will most likely put up a block between your essence and the part of you that is the alleged wrong-doer.‎ ‎ However, viewing past actions as 46 implies guilt and blame, and it is not possible to learn anything meaningful while you are busy blaming. 47 ,forgiveness is required when you are ‎ severely judging yourself . Forgiveness is the act of erasing and 48 debt. There are four kinds of forgiveness.‎ The first is beginner forgiveness for yourself.‎ The second of forgiveness is beginner forgiveness for another.‎ The third kind of forgiveness is 49 forgiveness of yourself. This is for serious misbehaviors ,the ones you carry with deep 50 . When you do something that break your own values and principles, you create a gap between your standards and your actual 51 .‎ In such a case, you need to work very hard at 52 yourself for these deeds so that you can close this gap. This does not 53 that you should rush to forgive yourself or shouldn’t feel regret, ‎ ‎ 54 taking pleasure in these feelings for a long period of time is not healthy.‎ The 55 and perhaps most difficult one is the advanced forgiveness of another.‎ At some time of our life, you may have been severely wronged or hurt by another person to such a degree that forgiveness seems 56 .‎ However, having anger and revenge fantasies only keeps you 57 _in a bad situation. Under such a circumstance, you should force yourself to see the bigger picture. By so doing, you will be able to ‎ 58 the focus away from the anger and resentment .‎ It is only through forgiveness that you can erase wrongdoing and 59 the memory. When you can 60 release the situation , you may come to see it as a part of your growth.‎ ‎41.A. turn up B. break up C. break out D. turn out ‎42.A. failed B. important C. engaged D. successful ‎43.A. obviously B. usually C. necessarily D. continuously ‎ ‎44.A. failure B. success C. fault D. benefit ‎45.A. expectations B. belief C. experiences D. ability ‎46.A. victories B. mistakes C. experiments D. fantasies ‎ ‎47.A.
