This was even strengthened in my young mind when the song, Boys Don't Cry, came out in the early 1980s.‎ But just this June, I discovered that courage is not all about trying to keep all the pain ‎ inside in check. Courage is not all about trying to hide the tears. It is the opposite — the ‎ tears strengthen the heart's courage. And I saw this in my father. That day my father cried.‎ ‎ My 18-year-old sister eloped (私奔) and from it I saw how weak my father's heart was. ‎ My sister and I were used to seeing him as an iron-willed figure and authoritarian father.‎ For three days after my sister eloped, he would not talk. He would just sit quietly outside ‎ our house in the dark. On the fourth night, I sat beside him and asked him to tell me what ‎ he felt about everything.‎ It has been years since I have laid my hand on my father's shoulder as we have drifted apart (疏远) farther and farther while I was growing up. That night，though, I sensed my ‎ father trying to control his pain and I wanted him to be able to let it out. We have all cried ‎ over what happened except him. All of us except him.‎ The simple touch and my words, “Dad, it is not your fault.”, broke my father's dam. ‎ In the darkness, he began to cry. I felt his shoulders shaking as he whispered, "Where did ‎ I go wrong? All I ever wanted was for my children to grow up right. Why couldn't your ‎ sister wait?"‎ ‎ I understood then why he preferred to be in the dark. By being there, he hoped to spare ‎ his family of a father's pain. His tears, though we did not see them before that night, were ‎ there all the same. I saw his courage, that night when my father cried with my hand on ‎ his shoulder, and understood his pain.‎ ‎24.

The surgeon was asked to go there at once to operate on a very sick boy who shot himself while playing with a gun.‎ The doctor was soon on his way to Clens Falls. It was 60 miles away. And it was snowing heavily in the city. The surgeon thought he could get there before 12 o’clock.‎ A few minutes later, the doctor was stopped by a man in an old black coat. Gun in hand, the man ordered the doctor to get out. Then the man drove the car down the road, leaving the doctor in the falling snow.‎ It was after 2 o’clock in the morning when the doctor arrived at the hospital in Clens Falls. Dr. Haydon told him that the boy had died an hour before.‎ The two doctors walked by the door of the hospital waiting room.

Born in England in 1886, George Mallory first “climbed” the village church tower at the age of seven. His reputation grew at Winchester‎ ‎College, where he distinguished himself as an athlete. At 18, he made his first Alpine climb, returning to the Alps again and again in the next six years to perfect his unique climbing style and gain valuable experience.‎ Between 1915 and 1920, Mallory found himself tired of his ordinary life, ‎ though he had been the father of three children by then. His restlessness mirrored the era of mad exploration in which he lived, an era in which Mount Everest was indeed “the last frontier”. Because of his reputation for climbing, he was asked to participate in the first Everest expedition in 1921, which allowed him to make a living by doing what he loved best.‎ That first Everest expedition reached 7,010 meters; a following one in 1922 reached 8,301 meters but was ruined by the tragic deaths of seven staff workers in an avalanche(雪崩), an accident for which Mallory felt partially responsible. Frustrated, Mallory did not intend to return to Everest, but a trip to New York City to lecture about his Everest experiences restored his enthusiasm. The New York trip was also where the often-asked question “Why climb Everest?” caused Mallory’s now-legendary answer----- “Because it’s there”.‎ In 1924, the third Everest expedition broke the previous climbing record, reaching 8,534 meters. Mallory and his climbing partner Andrew Irvine made an attempt at the summit but disappeared in heavy weather and never returned. It seemed certain that they had perished on the mountain, but whether they reached the summit before they died is unknown.‎ ‎75 years later, in 1999, Mallory’s body was found by Conrad Anker, an American rock climber. Clues found on his body gave searchers some understanding of what might have happened, but the puzzling mystery of “Did he make it?” remains. Now, a movie named The Wildest Dream: Conquest of Everest attempts both to solve the mystery and to give us a deeper appreciation of Mallory.‎ ‎24. What do we know about the second Everest expedition?‎ A. The climbing team was made up of seven members.‎ B. The climbers were badly equipped and most of them died.‎ C. Mallory somewhat blamed himself for the accident.‎ D. Mallory went on his New York trip before it.‎ ‎25. The underlined word “perished” in Paragraph 4 can be best explained as “_________”.‎ A. died B. stayed C. cried D. fought ‎26. “Did he make it?” refers to the question whether __________.‎ A. Mallory took part in the 1924 expedition B. Mallory reached the top of ‎Mount Everest C. Anker really found Mallory’s body D. Anker successfully conquered ‎Mount Everest ‎27. What do we know from the passage?‎ A. As a college student, Mallory mainly studied sports.‎ B. In Mallory’s time people crazily explored Mount Everest.‎ C. Mallory and Irvine were together when they died.‎ D. The new movie focuses on Mallory and his last expedition.‎ 参考答案：24—27 CABD ‎[五]‎ ‎ In any age, there ia always a need for teachers. Teachers are the most wonderful people in our life. They play a vital role in the world. In fact they are the creators of heroes and heroines. I have many teachers in my life as everybody does. Teachers that I have met have vivid natures. Some are encouraging, loving and friendly. But some are rude, unfair and hated ones. ‎ I had a very bad teacher in my third grade. She was a very strict teacher and always scolded and struck her students. She liked only one girl in our class, who always came top of the class. This made her a bad teacher. We never respected her. She never encouraged anybody, but the girl who was the top student in the class. We were really sad due to her actions. She put that girl in charge of the class and that girl used to tell bad things about her enemies to the teacher. Those children regularly were punished. She never changed but the year did. Fortunately, we passed into ‎ the fourth grade.‎ To our surprise, we had a good teacher. She was very encouraging. She made students comfortable and persuaded us to work to our best level. We were very happy to be with her. She presented gifts to us whenever we reached her target. We never realized that time was passing.‎ The years passed, and I saw many teachers throughout my life. But I keep our favorite fourth grade teacher in my mind even now, and I pray for her. However, I don’t like to think of my cruel third grade teacher. Look at the variation in people; who are the creators? I think all of us have come across these kinds of people. They should be our role models. ‎ ‎32. Which of the following words best describes the role of teachers in people’s life?‎ A. Creative. B. Important C. Moving D. Pleasant ‎33. Why didn’t the author like his third grade teacher?‎ A. Because she was not strict with her students.‎ B. Because she treated all of her students badly except the top student.‎ C. Because she persuaded her students to bring out the best in them.‎ D. Because she didn’t reward her students whenever they achieved their goals.‎ ‎34. We can conclude that the author’s fourth grade teacher is __________.‎ A. rude B. knowledgeable C. funny D. respectable ‎35. What can we infer from the passage?‎ A. The author had his best teacher in the fifth grade.‎ B. The author respects all of his teachers.‎ C. Everyone may meet good teachers in their life.‎ D. The author only remembers his best teacher now.‎ 参考答案：32—35 BBDC ‎[六]‎ Every morning many girls in the African country of Zimbabwe rise with the sun and go to fetch water for their families. They have to walk many miles and carry the water home on their heads. Where they live, there is no running water they can get at all.‎ ‎ “You have to relax your neck and head and make it follow the load(负荷)，”one girl told me “It is easy for you to do that if you practice for many times.” I have lived in Zimbabwe all my life. But I had never tried to balance a pot on my head. I have made efforts many times and I have also practiced it for long. But it was not easy at all. I managed to walk only several yards before the pot fell off my head. The girls watching covered their mouths and laughed at my poor head-balancing skills.‎ ‎ In reality water is not the only thing that requires head-balancing skills in everyday life. In most of these villages there is no electricity for cooking so fire wood is used instead. The girls must collect and carry it back to their villages. They insist the easiest way to do this is on their heads.‎ ‎ Even at school head-balancing skills come in handy. At a school I saw a group of girls fetching bags of sand that were to be used to build a new classroom. They carried these bags with ease. When I tried, I could not beat the weight.‎ ‎ Girls in many countries worldwide prefer to carry things on their heads. They are taught this skill at a young age and grow up to have strong necks and great posture. For these girls balance is simply a way of life.‎ ‎33. According to the text Zimbabwe girls _______.‎ ‎ A. go to fetch running water for money ‎ B. catty water every evening ‎ C. do pleasant jobs in their family ‎ D. like carrying things on their heads ‎34.

They find no other ways to carry things.‎ ‎ D. They have learned them since they were young.‎ ‎36. What is the best title of the text?‎ ‎ A. A special living ability ‎ ‎ B. Girl’s head-balancing skill ‎ C. Carrying things from far away ‎ ‎ D. Using our heads in different ways 参考答案：33--36 DCDB ‎ ‎[七]‎ ‎21 years ago, I was a pretty girl with two bright eyes, admitted to the University‎ of ‎North Carolina, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. 21 years later, I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different story to tell.‎ My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college an the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.‎ Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic---and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I ‎ gave birth to another boy.‎ You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8! Our home was a complete zoo---a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each semester.‎ The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.‎ In 2007, I graduated from the University‎ of ‎North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree！‎ I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day. It’s a process. Remember: little steps add up to big dreams.‎ ‎31. When the author went to the University‎ of ‎North Carolina 21years ago , her dream was to be______. ‎ A. a writer B. a teacher C. a judge D. a doctor ‎32. Why did the author quit school in her second year of college?‎ A. She wanted to study by herself. B. She fell in love and got married.‎ C. She suffered from a serious illness. D. She decided to look after her grandma. ‎ ‎33. What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 4 and 5?‎ A. She was busy yet happy with her family life.‎ B. She ignored her guilty feeling for her sons.‎ C. She wanted to remain a full-time housewife.‎ A. She was too confused to make a correct choice.‎ ‎34.Which of the following can best describe the author ?‎ A. Caring and determined. B .Honest and responsible.‎ C. Ambitious and sensitive . D. Innocent and single-minded.‎ ‎35. What dose the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph?‎ A. Failure is the mother of success. B. Little by little, one goes far.‎ C. Every coin has two sides. D. Well begun, half done.‎ 参考答案：31--35 CDAAB ‎[八]‎ My little brother and sister were always saying that I was bossy (爱发号施令的). And it wasn't until I met a very bossy person that I understood how they felt!‎ My school was holding a fundraiser (募捐活动) called the Spring Fling Fair, and everyone was going to help out. I was pretty excited about it. There were lots of committees to choose from, and I chose games and activities, which sounded like fun.‎ But every time we got together, a guy named Peter did the same thing. He never seemed to realize that he was part of a team with three other people.‎ At last, it was the day of the Spring Fling Fair, and we were all running around getting ready.‎ ‎“You need to make the horseshoes sign hang straighter，”Peter commanded.‎ ‎“Would you please do it yourself？” I said. “I'm kind of busy organizing the prizes.”‎ ‎“There are too many pink balloons on the wall，”Peter complained. “You should add more blue ones.”‎ ‎“Feel free to go ahead and add them，” Mike said.‎ The best (or maybe the worst) example of Peter's bossiness happened when the Spring Fling Fair finally started. A cute little girl was fishing ‎ for a prize, and Peter grabbed (抢夺) the fishing pole right out of her hands!‎ ‎“You're holding it all wrong，”he told her.“Do it like this！”‎ This little girl looked up at Peter, took a big breath, and said, “That may be the right way for you to do it, but it's not the right way for me.”‎ And that was probably the best thing this little girl could have said.‎ The good part of this experience is that it helped me understand how my brother and sister felt when I told them what to do and didn't stop to be polite or consider their feelings. Now I try to be more patient and less bossy, and we get along much better.‎ ‎21．On the day of the Spring Fling Fair, Peter ________.‎ A．had a great time B．kept giving orders C．was chosen as the leader D．was running around getting ready ‎22．When being bossed around by her schoolmate, the author ________.‎ A．asked others to do the work B．did what she was told C．refused to obey D．ignored him ‎23．When the cute little girl was fishing for a prize, ________.‎ A．she was ordered to stop B．she got the biggest prize C．Peter gave her some useful advice D．her fishing pole was taken away rudely ‎24．After the Spring Fling Fair, the author ________.‎ A．changed her attitude towards her brother and sister B．became friends with the cute little girl C．got involved in more fundraisers D．broke up with Peter 参考答案：21－24 BCDA ‎[九]‎ Several dollars equal nothing for some people, but make a difference for others. Steve has just lost his wife to cancer and everything they had is gone due to the treatment. He now lives in the shelter for the homeless. So we know each other.‎ Just like other homeless people, he didn't think he needed anything. But once he mentioned to me he needed eye glasses. His voice hesitated a bit, he looked down, and it appeared like he thought such a request was just a dream. Too much to hope for? It was as if his wish were known by me only.‎ I submitted an application for him to a program that is supposed to provide a free eye examination and glasses. Three months later, I phoned to ask what was up with the appointment but they told me there was a cash flow problem until late summer.‎ Steve showed disappointment, thanked me and started to walk away. I said, “Hold on, I will figure out a way to get you an eye examination and glasses.” His face lit up a tiny bit. He had seen some of the things I have done for other people in our shelter and to me it looked like he might have a line of hope.‎ I took a picture of him and posted his picture and his story in the Twitter. In about 4 days, eight people from around the world donated $25 each and one person donated $40 and I made up the rest to get him an eye exam and glasses.‎ Steve picked up his glasses on Wednesday: May 11th, 2011. Today Steve has returned to a previous job he had in a nearby car wash. Because he now has glasses he will be able to see what he is doing while cleaning the vehicles. He is starting a second job at a pet center next week!‎ ‎33．We can learn from the first two paragraphs that________.‎ A．it took a long time to treat Steve's wife B．homeless people never ask for anything C．Steve was too embarrassed to ask for help D．the author and Steve have been friends for years ‎34．The program failed to satisfy Steve because________.‎ A．it was already out of business B．it had some trouble in finance C．Steve didn't submit the application himself D．it's not designed for people like Steve ‎35．What can be inferred from the passage?‎ A．The program was closed three months ago.‎ B．Steve used to work as a salesman in a car factory.‎ C．Steve got $‎240 in total from kind-hearted people.‎ D．The author might be a volunteer in the shelter.‎ 参考答案：33-35 CBD ‎ ‎[十]‎ ‎“Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton(骨骼) in the closet?” Jessica asked. “A skeleton in the closet?” her mother paused thoughtfully. “Well, it’s something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad’s family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be ‘a skeleton in his family’s closet’. He really wouldn’t want any neighbor to know about it.”‎ ‎“Why pick on my family?” Jessica’s father said with anger. “Your family history isn’t so good. you know. Wasn’t your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was sent to Australia for his crimes?” “Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners .” “Gosh, sorry I asked, I think I understand now,” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.‎ After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica’s parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica’s closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessica’s mother sank into a faint(晕倒), waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead.She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.‎ ‎“ What happened？Where am I?” she asked. “You just destroyed the school’s skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project, I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “they’re both crazy,” she thought.‎ ‎24. According to Jessica’s mother, “a skeleton in the closet” means ______.‎ A. a family honor B. a family secret C. a family story D. a family treasure ‎25. What can we learn about some Australians’ ancestors from Paragraph 2?‎ A. They were involved in some crimes in Australia.‎ B. They were the earliest people living in Australia C.
