Then they brought in an old man who had been fixing ships since he was young. He carried a large bag of tools with him, and when he arrived, he immediately went to work. He inspected the engine very carefully, from top ‎ to bottom. Two of the ship's owners were there, watching this old man, They hoped he could know what to do. After looking things over, the old man reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer. He gently tapped something. Instantly, the engine started back up. He then carefully put his hammer away. The engine was fixed! A week later, the ship’s owners received a bill from the old man for ten thousand dollars. "What?!" the owners shouted. "He hardly did anything!" So they wrote the old man a note saying, "Please send us an itemized(逐条记录的) bill."

Some sporting events, such as the Olympic Games or the football World Cup, can attract audiences of many millions. But is television a good or bad influence on young people in the modern world? ‎ Thomas Murray, president of the British Parents Against Television Society, believes that it has not improved young people’s lives. “Television damages family life,” he argues. “At mealtime, families no longer talk to each other. In the evenings, youngsters do not spend good quality time with family members. Instead, they watch television.” Murray says that this lack of communication leads to social problems.‎ Murray‎ also believes that the content of television programmes provides young people with poor role models. “There is so much violence on TV—guns, kung fu fighting, and so on. Young people think that all problems should be solved by aggression.”‎ It is not just young people’s mental health that worries Murray. “Teenagers don’t get enough exercise because they spend so many hours watching television. They also develop back problems from sitting down for so long, and eye strain from the effort of watching.”‎ Murray‎ would like to see changes to television habits. “Programmes should be educational. Their contents should be nonviolent and healthy. There should be no programmes after ten o’clock in the evening. Parents should teach their children to enjoy their spare time by playing sports or games. And certainly, the television should be switched off during mealtime.‎ Susan Taylor is a television producer. She believes that television is a good influence on young people. “Television brings the outside world to youngsters. It even brought us pictures from the moon! And look what happens after the Olympic Games or the World Cup matches have been shown on TV. People start to take more exercise. Also, there are a lot of programmes about healthy eating and keeping fit.”‎ However, Taylor agrees with Murray’s point of view concerning parents. “Of course parents have a role to play in educating their kids. They should turn the TV off during mealtime and they should talk with their children as often as possible.”‎ ‎27. The article is mainly about _____________.‎ A. that TV is a central part of many people’s lives B. that Murray would like to see changes to television habits ‎ C. whether TV is a good or bad influence on young people in the modern world D. that parents should turn the TV off during mealtime and talk with their children ‎ ‎28. Which of the following statements is TRUE?‎ A. Teenagers don’t like doing exercise at all.‎ B. TV programmes are nonviolent and educational.‎ C. Murray only worries about young people’s mental health.‎ D. Teenagers will get backache for sitting down for a long time.‎ ‎29. What leads to social problems in Murray’s opinion? ‎ A. Young people watching too much TV. B. The lack of communication.‎ C. So much violence on TV. D. Not enough exercise.‎ ‎30. The underlined words “eye strain” in paragraph 4 probably means________.‎ A. far-sightedness B. blindness C. eye tiredness D. eye sickness ‎ ‎31. We can infer from this passage that___________.‎ A. Susan Taylor is a television producer B. there are both good and bad programmes on TV ‎ C. Susan Taylor completely disagrees with Murray on TV D. Murray is president of the British Parents Against Television Society D Recently, a professor in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of life. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day-to-day life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to keep record of every penny they spend for a week. From the way they spend their money, they can see what they really value in life.‎ He says our relation with others often becomes clearly defined when money enters the picture. You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are a very good friend. But you will know him only when you ask him to lend you some money. If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems stronger than ever before. Or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesn't. This person may say that he has a certain feeling, but if it is not carried out in the money world, there is something less real about it.‎ Since money is so important to us, we consider those who have a lot of it to be very important. The writer interviewed some millionaires in researching his book.‎ Question: What is the most surprising thing you have discovered about being rich, because you are a self-made man?‎ Answer: The most surprising thing is how people give me so much respect. I am nothing. I do not know much. All I am is rich.‎ People just have an idea of making more and more money, but What is it for? How much do I need for any given purposes in my life? In his book, the professor uncovered an important need in modern society: to bring back the idea that money is an instrument rather than the end. Money plays an important role in the material world, but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life.‎ ‎32. According to the first paragraph, people have not realized __________.‎ A. how important money is in their day-to-day life B. that their understanding of life is more important than money C. that money is more important than their life D. how one spends money shows what is important to him ‎33. The writer seems to believe that asking your friend to lend you some money__________.‎ A. will develop your friendship B. will do harm to your friendship C. is a good way to test your friendship D. is a good way to end your friendship ‎34. What can we learn about the millionaire from his answer in the interview?‎ A. He doesn't think that being rich is worth so much attention.‎ B. He does not think that he is a very important person.‎ C. He does not feel that he is well educated.‎ D. He does not consider himself to be very successful.‎ ‎35. What does the American professor want to explain in his book?‎ A. Money is an end. B. Money is unimportant. ‎ C. Money is everything.　　 D. Money is a means.‎ 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 Welcome Change in Your Life Do you accept the road you are now on or resist and avoid change at all costs when a recent event has shaken you greatly? Here are things you can do in the midst of uncertainty to choose differently to change the track of your life.‎ Don’t react.‎ What do we do when we don’t know what to do? First, stop, take a deep breath and don’t do anything.__36__It is having faith and trusting what you do know in the unknown.‎ Reflect on the past.‎ Another activities is to recall times in your life when you were faced with an unknown. Then , think about how you handled the situation. 37 Use your past experiences to bring you strength, and to remind you what you are capable of.‎ Make conscious decisions.‎ ‎ 38 However, more possibilities open up when we are at peace. Go over your list of what ifs and make a more balanced list of the best and worst situations possible. Then talk to loved ones about what you would do in each situation and the choices you do have.‎ ‎ 39 ‎ We often see fears as our greatest enemy. But yet they provide us with an enormous opportunity for self-growth. What if we see them as friends who want to help us become a better person? Let your fears ‎ help you instead of hurting you. Then, write down what comes to you. 40 ‎ A.Don’t panic.‎ B.Befriend your fears.‎ C.You may be surprised by the answers.‎ D.When we are fearful, our options seem limited.‎ E.Then try to feel at ease with the state of “not knowing”.‎ F.Learning from past failures helps you make better decisions.‎ G.Remembering these incidents will remind you that you’ve gone through difficult situations.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空 (共20小题，每小题1.5分, 共30分) ‎ 通读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案。‎ I had a very special teacher in high school many years ago and suddenly his wife died of a heart attack.
