His parents worked hard on their farm but they couldn’t get enough food for the family. Of course, he couldn’t be sent to school and his uncle who worked in a school taught him at home. And he learned a lot before he left there. When he was sixteen, he found work in a factory. As an abled worker, the boss liked him and seven years later the boss married his daughter to him and with his help, Mr White had his own factory after another seven years passed. Mrs. White liked her husband very much. So she was always afraid he loved the other women. She often asked him a lot of questions. He wouldn’t make her angry and was more careful. One evening Mr. White was very busy and he told his secretary to help him. When they finished the work, it was ten in the evening. He had to see her home. That night his wife felt unwell and told him to take her to a hospital. He helped her to get on the car and started. But soon after that he found there was a shoe in the car. He had a look at his wife. The woman seemed to be asleep. He picked it up gently and threw it out of the window. Soon they got to the hospital. As he was going to help her to get off, suddenly the woman called out, “Where’s my shoe?” 21．Why could Mr. White not be sent to school? A. His parents were both farmers B. He was born in a poor family C. He could learn all subjects by himself D. They were often worried about food 22．How old was Mr. White when he had his own factory? A. sixteen B. twenty-three C. thirty D. forty 23．Mr. White tried to be careful,because he was afraid . A. he would be sent away B. his wife wouldn’t help him C. he would be busy D. his wife would be unhappy Happy birthday! Do birthday really make people happy? Of course they do. Birthdays celebrate the day when we were born. Besides, that extra candle on the cake suggests another year of growth and maturity（成熟）—or so we hope．We all like to imagine that we are getting wiser and not just older．Most of us enjoy seeing the wonder of growth in others, as well．For instance, seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us feel proud．For Americans, like people in most cultures, growing up is a wonderful process．But growing old? That is a different story. Growing old is not exactly for people in youth-oriented ( 以 年 轻 人 为 中 心 )American culture．Most Americans like to look young, act young and feel young. As the old saying goes, “You’re young as you feel．” Older people joke about how many years young they are, rather than how many years old．People in some countries value the aged as a source of experience and wisdom．But Americans seem to favor those who are young, or at least “young at heart”． Many older Americans find the “golden years” to be anything but golden．Economically, “senior citizens” often try just to get by．Retirement at the age of 65 brings a sharp decrease in personal income．Social security benefits usually cannot make up the difference．Older people may suffer from poor nutrition (营养), medical care, and housing. Some even have the experience of age discrimination(歧视). American sociologist(社会学家) Pat Moore once dressed up like an older person and wandered city streets ． She was often treated rudely--even cheated and robbed．However, dressed as a young person, she received much more respect． Unfortunately, the elderly population in America is increasing fast．Why? People are living longer．Fewer babies are being born．And middle-aged “baby boomers”(婴儿潮) are rapidly entering the group of the elderly．America may soon be a place where wrinkles（皱纹）are “in”．Marketing experts are already noticing this growing group of consumers． 24．Growing up is a wonderful thing because ________. A. people can celebrate their birthdays. B. people can become more and mature and wiser. C. people can receive many presents. D. people will feel younger at heart. 25．We can infer from the second paragraph that _________. A. young people lack experience and wisdom. B. American older people often joke about their old age. C. American culture is very young. D. different countries have different opinions on the old age. 26．The underlined sentence (in Paragraph 3) means “_________.” A. the golden years can make the old earn lots of money and receive good medical care B. the old people in America are probably leading a hard life without good nutrition, medical care or housing. C. the old in America have to retire at the age of 65. D. American social security benefits are not good. 27 ． From the last paragraph we know that the underlined word “in” can be replaced by _______. A. serious B. bad C. disappearing slowly D. growing fast Robinson Crusoe is a famous novel written by Daniel Defoe. The book tells the story of a man who is shipwrecked (遭遇海难的). He spends 28 years on an island near Venezuela. The book tells the story of everything that happens to Robinson Crusoe. He hopes someone will rescue him, but he has been there for so long on his own that he also begins to fear being rescued. Robinson Crusoe was published in 1719. Most experts believe the story is based on the life of Alexander Selkirk, who was a Scottish sailor. On an expedition in 1704, Selkirk had an argument with his ship’s captain. Selkirk thought the ship was not safe and was about to fall apart. When the ship stopped at a remote island to get fresh water, Selkirk got off. He tried to get the other crew members to leave with him, but nobody would. The shop then sailed away without him. Selkirk spent four years and four months on his own on the island, known as Aguas Buenas. Selkirk was finally rescued by a ship that visited the island in 1709. The ship’s captain was grateful to Selkirk because he provided food for the crew when they arrived. Now archaeologists think they have found the remains of Selkirk’s camp on Aguas Buenas. They found two deep holes that would have held wooden posts. The archaeologists say this is evidence that Selkirk built a shelter there. The post holes are near a fresh water stream. They are located quite high up, which would have meant that Selkirk was able to watch out for the ships coming close to the island. The most interesting evidence, the archaeologists say, is part of a piece of equipment used by sailors to navigate ( 导 航 ). Historians believe Selkirk was a navigator, so the instrument could have belonged to him. Robinson Crusoe was published ten years after Selkirk was rescued. Most experts think Daniel Defoe heard and read stories about Selkirk, which inspired him to write the book. 28．Why did Selkirk choose to land on the remote island? A. Because he had quarrels with the crew members. B. Because the captain ordered him to get fresh water. C. Because he wanted to go on an adventure there. D. Because he thought the ship he was on was in danger. 29．We can infer from the text that the ship that visited Aguas Buenas in 1709 _______. A. lost its way while sailing B. lacked fresh water upon arrival C. was being navigated by Selkirk D. was running out of food upon arrival 30．How could Selkirk see ships that might rescue him, according to archaeologists? A. By asking the crew members on the ships. B. By sending messages to the ships’ captains. C. By watching from his shelter high on the island. D. By using a piece of equipment used to navigate. 31．The author wrote the text to _______. A. explain the origin of Robinson Crusoe B. promote sales to Robinson Crusoe C. criticise Alexander Selkrik’s deeds D. praise Daniel Defoe for his writing inspiration The Attack on September 11th New York: When the first jet struck Tower 1 at World Trade Center at 8: 48 am on Tuesday, the people in Tower 2 at World Trade Center with a view of the instant damage across the divide had the clearest sense of what they too must do : get out fast. Katherine Ilachinski, who had been knocked off her chair by the blast of heat exploding from the neighboring tower, was one of those. Despite her 70 years of age, Ms Ilachinski, an architect working on the 91st floor of Tower 2 at World Trade Center, the south tower, went for the stairs. Twelve floors above her, Judy Wein, a manager, screamed and set off too. But others up and down the 110 floors, many without clear views of the damage across the way and thus unclear about what was happening, were not so sure. And the 18 minutes before the next plane would hit were ticking off. Among the uncertainty about what was the best thing to do, formal announcements inside the south tower instructed people to stay put, assuring them that the building was sound and the threat was limited to the other tower. Some left, others stayed, some began to climb down and, when met with more announcements and other warning to stop or return, went back up. The decisions made in those instants proved to be of great importance, because many who chose to stay, were doomed (注定) when the second jet crashed into the south tower killing many and stranding (使…某物留在) many more in the floors above where the jet hit. One of those caught in indecision(犹豫不决) was the manager at Fuji Bank USA. Richard Jacobs of Fuji Bank left the 79th floor with the other office workers, but on the 48th floor they heard the announcement that the situation was under control. Several got in the lifts and went back up two minutes or so before the plane crashed into their floor. 32．From the passage , we know that the south tower was hit by the plane __________ A. at 8: 30 B. 18 minutes earlier than the north tower C. at around 9: 06 D. at 8: 48 33．The underlined words “stay put” mean _________ A. stay in the building B. leave at once C. put everything back and then leave D. keep silent 34．Which floor was hit by the second jet? A. The 91st floor. B. The 71st floor. C. The 60th floor. D. The 79th floor. 35．Few people would have died if __________ A. more announcements had been made B. people hadn’t used the lifts C. the incident had happened on a weekend D. people chose to stay 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。 It’s Nice to be Home 36． I have been fortunate enough to make trips to many countries．They were wonderful adventures filled with new sights and experiences．And my wife and I have another trip in the planning stages． We're home now and have settled back into our daily routine of life．37． I find that when I am at home ， particularly for a while when we have just returned from a trip ， I feel very comfortable．Perhaps it is because everything around me is familiar and the daily routine is so much the same I can move through it almost without thinking．38．Perhaps it is because we can have meals at home instead of always being in restaurants，although it's nice to let someone else do the cooking，and because I can sleep in my own bed．There are times I think it would be nice to simply stop travelling and stay home and I'm stile I would be very comfortable if that were to happen． 39． Yet I guess I am probably a restless soul because I know that after I have been home for a while I will start to think about other places we might go and other things we want to see．We will travel again and we feel fortunate to be able to do so．40． Still，one of the best things about travelling for me is coming home．I'm very comfortable here at home even if it is difficult to say exactly why． A．I like to travel very much． B．I enjoy local food while travelling． C．I like being home，for whatever reason． D．Perhaps it is because our friends are here． E．And I enjoy my daily life at home so much． F．We want to see as much of the world as we can． G．It’s lucky that my wife and I both love travelling． 第二节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分） 阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出可以填入空 白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 War started in our house in late July with a month to go before my first day of college.
