It happened two and a half years ago. It was the first time in my life that I saw such a strong storm. For Moscow, it was very unusual, and nobody predicted this storm before it happened.‎ It was a sunny day in July, and I was at home alone watching TV. The windows and the door to the balcony were wide open because the weather was so hot.‎ Suddenly, I felt a strong wind from outside. I wanted to close the window and came near. I looked out of the window and saw a black sky and trees blowing over because of the strong wind. I tried to close the window, but the wind made me fall down. I was afraid that the glass might break.‎ I stood up and tried to close the window again, but it was not possible because the wind was now stronger, and it was pushing the window open. I ran into the bathroom and took the mop to close the window. It worked.‎ When I looked outside, the tree in front of my window was fiat on the ground, and there was strong thunder and lightning. I decided to pull out all the electrical plugs, which took about 10 seconds. A sportsman would have envied my speed.‎ When I finished, I looked outside. It was terrible, and I understood how people are helpless compared to the power of nature.‎ Suddenly, the wind stopped, and it began to hail (下冰雹). The ice was the size of grapes. After 10 minutes, everything stopped, and the sun shone as before. It was strange. A few minutes later, the phone began to ring every five minutes. It was my friends or relatives. We asked each other how it was and how we felt after the storm.‎ Many trees died because of the storm. For a few days, the people helped clean ‎ parks and gardens. Some people’s cars were damaged by trees falling on them. After one week, it was history already. This is my story about an extreme storm in Moscow. It shows us that we are children of nature, and we must respect her.‎ ‎1. How did the weather change according to the passage?‎ A. Sunny and hot—thunder and lightning—windy—hail—sunny.‎ B. Sunny and hot—windy—hail—thunder and lightning—sunny.‎ C. Sunny and hot—thunder and lightning—hail—windy—sunny.‎ D. Sunny and hot—windy—thunder and lightning—hail—sunny.‎ ‎2. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 mean?‎ A. I did all the things in a flash ‎ B.I could run faster than a sportsman.‎ C. I could stay at home on a stormy day. ‎ D. I was admired by the sportsman for my speed.‎ ‎3. What did the author learn from the unexpected storm?‎ A. Everything will be history. B. We should respect nature.‎ C. We should help each other. D. The disaster will be predicted.‎ ‎ B Unemployment in the United States is still high at 6．7 percent. But for job seekers，especially those with college educations，researchers say finding a job can be as easy as logging on to a computer．It used to be that looking for a job meant hurrying around knocking on doors and turning to ads。But that's changing thanks to the Internet．A new report says，for college graduates，looking for a job is getting easier．More than 80 percent of the jobs are available online． ‎ At the height of the depression(萧条)，when U．S．unemployment peaked at 10 percent ，just a little more than two million jobs were being posted each month．But as the recovery takes hold the job picture looks increasingly bright。 ‎ That’s great news for Hamilton。Only once has he ever applied in person for a job at a shopping mall. He said，“I think my generation—the idea of going door to door, out knocking and saying，hey are you hiring? —like that—doesnt exist anymore…those days are gone, Just go online。”‎ Kim Dancy recently graduated with a master's degree in Public Policy．She found her dream job as an education policy researcher．But she says finding the perfect job online takes a lot of perseverance．He said，“It can be really frustrating and it takes a long time，but if you applied for enough positions and really do your homework you will get somewhere． ‎ The report’s findings suggest careers in Science，Technology，Engineering and Math provide the greatest opportunities，with salaries that range between $30 to $45 an hour。But for maximum income and satisfaction，workers must be prepared to move and change jobs at least every five years。‎ ‎4．The highest unemployment rate in the depression in the U．S．was _____.‎ A.7％ B. 6．7％ C. 6％ D. 10％ ‎ ‎5．In what way does Hamilton find his jobs in most cases? ‎ A.Applying in person B.Turning to the Internet ‎ C.Searching papers D.Going door to door ‎6．What can we learn from Dancy’s experience? ‎ A.Job applicants should do much housework. ‎ ‎ B. Finding a dream job is really exciting．‎ C.Only online can an applicant find a job． ‎ ‎ D.Online job—hunting calls for perseverance． ‎ ‎7．How can you get a high salary according to the text? ‎ ‎ A.By switching jobs regularly B.By sticking to your work ‎ C.By surfing the Internet D.By hurrying around C Comparing ourselves with others isn’t a recent phenomenon—it’s part of our culture. As soon as we’re able to form our own thoughts and opinions, we start comparing. Who’s taller? Who’s better at sports? Who has more friends?‎ Unlike other childish habits, the urge to measure up(攀比) doesn’t ever really go away. In fact, it only increases when we become teens. “At a younger age, I found myself wanting to be cool and wondering why I wasn’t that cool,” said a ‎ junior student Michael Torres. “So I began doing what they did in order to fit in with my own friends.”‎ We are flooded with the message that we should compare ourselves with others. Magazines, advertisements, stores—it becomes all about what other people have or what they’ve achieved. Social media adds another layer to the problem. Facebook, Twitter and QQ offer a constant stream of updates about the people around us. She got accepted to Harvard? He bought the brand new Nikes? They’re dating?‎ ‎“If I go on Facebook or Twitter and read about how wonderful everyone else is, I’m not feeling good about myself. It’s going to make me feel worse,” said Mike Robbins, a senior student. “I try not to let things like that affect me, but in the modern world of technology it’s hard not to take notice of what others are doing, and sometimes you want to be just like them.”‎ Before you get caught up in the comparison game, keep in mind one very important detail: When it comes to social media, we often present only the things we want people to see—the good fortunes, happy moments, delicious desserts and best smiles.‎ The deeper question is: Are people really posting things on social media that are true or are they simply doing it to present something to other people? It’s what we do in our culture: “Look how great I am,” “Look how smart I am,” “Look how happy I am,” and sometimes that’s true, but in a lot of cases, it’s not.‎ While comparing ourselves to others can inspire us to get ahead and work harder, it can also drive us crazy. Next time you find yourself wondering if you measure up, remember this: What we have is not a measure of who we are. We already have worth as an individual when we’re born. Everything else is what people think of us.‎ ‎8. When do we start to compare ourselves with others?‎ A. When we go to junior schools. B. When we were born into the world.‎ C. When we have Facebook or Tweeter. D. When we have thoughts and opinions.‎ ‎9. According to the author, why would people like to post wonderful things on social media?‎ A. To show off their lives. B. To get advice from readers.‎ C. To share happiness with others. D. To communicate useful information.‎ ‎0. The author presents the phenomenon of the comparison by _________.‎ A. listing a lot of figures B. giving facts and examples C. providing scientific findings D. comparing famous persons’ opinions ‎1. From the passage, we learn that the author _________ comparison with others.‎ A. supports B. ignores C. opposes D. respects D When something goes wrong，t can be very satisfying to say，”Well, it’s so-and-so’s fault.” or “I know I’m late，but it’s not my fault；the car broke down.”It is probably not your fault，but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation，you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.‎ Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.‎ This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as ‎ anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stone for success.‎ ‎12. According to the passage, winners . ‎ A. blame themselves rather that others ‎ ‎ B. meet with fewer difficulties in their lives C. have responsible and able colleagues ‎ D. deal with problems rather than blame others ‎13. The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to . A. improve B. accept C. avoid D. consider ‎14. When your colleague brings about a problem, you should .‎ A. blame him for his lack of responsibility ‎ ‎ B. find a better way to handle the problem C. tell him to find the cause of the problem ‎ D. ask a more able colleague for help ‎15. When problems occur, winners take them as ‎ A. excuses for their failures B. barriers to greater power C. chances for self-development D. challenges to their colleagues 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。‎ How to pass an important test Whether it's a first grade science test or College Entrance Exam, all tests have one thing in common: you have to pass. __16_ Stuck in a situation where you don't know what to do?
