He had --- not legs but stumps(残肢) that could be fitted with a kind of special boots. People stared at him with cruel interest. Children laughed at him and called him ‘Ape Man’ (猿人) because his arms practically dragged on the ground.‎ Hank went to school like other boys. His grades were good and he needed only eight years to finish his schooling instead of the usual twelve. After graduating from school, he worked his way through college. He swept floors, waited on table, or worked in one of the college offices. During all this busy life, he had been moving around on his stumps. But one day the doctor told him even the stumps were not going to last much longer. He would soon have to use a wheel chair.‎ Hank felt himself got cold all over. However, the doctor said there was a chance that he could be fitted with artificial legs(义肢). Finally a leg maker was found ‎ and the day came when Hank stood up before the mirror. For the first time he saw himself as he has always wanted to be --- a full five feet eight inches tall. By this time he was already 26 years old.‎ Hank had to learn to use his new legs. Again and again he marched the length of the room, and marched back again. There were times when he fell down on the floor, but he pulled himself up and went back to the endless marching. He went out on the street. He climbed stairs and learned to dance. He built a boat and learned to sail it.‎ When World War II came, he talked the Red Cross into giving him a job. He took the regular training. He marched and drilled along with the other soldiers. Few knew that he was legless. This was the true story of Hank Viscardi, a man without legs.‎ ‎1. Children laughed at Hank and called him ‘Ape Man’ because ______.‎ A. he didn’t talk to them B. he kept away from them C. his arms touched the ground when he moved D. he couldn’t use his arms ‎2. It can be inferred from the story that five feet eight inches tall is _____.‎ A. an average height for a fully grown person B. too tall for an average person ‎ C. too short for an average person D. none of the above ‎3. The sentence “he talked the Red Cross into giving him a job” implies that the Red Cross _____.‎ A. was only glad to give him a job ‎ B. gave him a job because he was a good soldier ‎ C. gave him a job after he talked to someone whom he knew in the organization ‎ D. was not willing to give him a job at first ‎4. The writer suggests that Hank Viscardi _____.‎ A. had no friends B. never saw himself as different from others C. was very shy D. was too proud to accept help from ‎ others B Cheating can happen in a lot of different ways. When people cheat, it’s not fair to other people, like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game．‎ ‎　　Many people like the action of cheating. It makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. But it doesn’t solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won’t help on the next test---unless the person cheats again.‎ ‎　　Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too.‎ ‎　　Some kids cheat because they’re busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they can’t pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, cheating isn’t a good idea.‎ ‎　　If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldn’t study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. And if you don’t have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school.‎ A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions together. Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.‎ ‎5. The author thinks that when kids cheat in class, ______.‎ A. it is unfair to other people B. it does harm to their heath C. teachers should punish them D. teachers shouldn’t stop them at once ‎6. Some students like cheating mainly because_______.‎ A. the material in the test is very difficult B. they want to do better ‎ than the others C. cheating can make hard things seem very easy D. they have little time to study their lessons ‎7. In the passage those cheaters are advised to_______.‎ A. spend more time on school than on sports B. find good solutions instead of cheating C. try hard to be intelligent rather than lazy D. ask their classmates for good methods of study C I travel a lot in my work, and what I dislike about my job is eating alone. It always makes me feel lonely to see others laughing and talking. So, room service for several nights was a better choice for me.‎ After having room service three nights at a hotel in Houston, however, I needed to get out of my room. Although the restaurant opened at 6:30, I arrived at 6:25. The waiter at the front desk made a comment(评论) about my “being there really early”. I explained my dislike of eating alone in restaurants. He then seated me at a lovely table and asked me whether I would mind if he sat down with me for a while.‎ I was glad! He sat and talked with me about his career goals and the difficulty of being at work on nights, weekends and holidays. He said he hadn’t enough time to be with his family. After 15 minutes, he saw some customers at the front desk and excused himself. I noticed that before he went to the front desk, he stopped in the kitchen for a moment.‎ Then another waiter came out of the kitchen and had a wonderful chat with me. Before I left that night, some other waiters, even the cook, had come out of the kitchen and sat with me!‎ When I asked for my bill about one hour later, all the people who had sat down with me came over in a big group to my table, and presented me with a red rose. And I cried! What had begun as a lonely night ended as a beautiful experience?‎ ‎8. The author asked for room service because _______.‎ A. a lot of money would be saved in this way B. he didn’t like to eat with other people around C. he didn’t wanted to be recognized by the waiters D. seeing people laughing and talking made him feel bad ‎9. How did the waiter feel when he saw the author come in at 6:25？‎ A. Dissatisfied. B. Pleased. C. Surprised. D. Angry.‎ ‎10. From the third paragraph, we can learn that the waiter at the front desk ______.‎ A. knew how to attract more customers to his restaurant B. found it hard to balance his work and his family C. was getting tired of his present job D. had never had such a chance to talk about his worries ‎11. The author wants to tell us that ______.‎ A. people are actually all lonely in their own way B. restaurants should put the need of customers first C. the kindness of strangers can make you less lonely D. restaurants are full of surprises for lonely people D I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it. Mother sat writing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.‎ Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she said again, “is for Elizabeth.”‎ I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed in action. But as a young girl, I wanted to have heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(易动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface(表面)”.‎ As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.‎ I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.‎ My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace. It seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.‎ But the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside --- a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折叠) and refolded many times. It was my letter.‎ ‎---“In any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.”‎ ‎12. The writer began to love her mother’s desk________.‎ A. after Mother died B. before she became a writer C. when she was a child D. when Mother gave it to her ‎13. The passage shows that_________.‎ A. Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter B. Mother was too serious about her daughter in words C. Mother wrote to her daughter in careful words D. Mother wrote to her daughter in careless words ‎14. The underlined word “gulf” in the passage means_______.‎ A. deep understanding between the old and the young B. different ideas between mother and daughter C. free talks between mother and daughter D. part of the sea going far in land ‎15. What’s best title of the passage?‎ A. My letter to Mother B. Mother and children C. My Mother’s Desk D. Talks between Mother and me C1‎ There are fifty states in the United States.

They see each moment, each challenge, each person as an opportunity to discover more about themselves and the world around them. 17 ‎ Happy people understand that you can’t really change a situation by resisting（反抗）it. But they can feel better by understanding that there might be a reason for its existence（存在）. 18 But rather, they ask themselves questions like: What can I learn from this? How can I make this better? They always seem to be pleasant and hopeful no matter what happens to them. ‎ They do the things they do because of the meaning it brings into their lives and because they get a sense of purpose by doing so. ‎ ‎ 19 They care more about living a life full of meaning rather than, what in our modern society we would call, living a successful life. The fact here is that most of the time they get both, success and meaning, just because they choose to focus on doing the things they love the most. ‎ ‎ 20 They make sure that their actions bring meaning and happiness in the lives of many. They look for ways to give and to share the best of themselves with the world and to make other people happy. ‎ A. They have an ideal living and a balanced life. ‎ B. What are the things that these people do differently? ‎ C. They are kind to themselves and others and they understand the power of love. ‎ D. The things happy people do are not for themselves, but for the good of others. ‎ E. They are ready to embrace whatever lies in front of them. ‎ F. They understand that “Doing what you love is the most important for living a full life”. ‎ G. When something unpleasant happens to them, they don’t try to fight it, knowing that this will make the situation even worse.‎ 第二部分：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，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，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。‎ 注意：AB班做A篇；C班做B篇。‎ A All our dreams have something to do with our feelings, fears, longings, wishes, needs and memories.
