When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.‎ In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”‎ She glanced down at me through her glasses, “you are not different from your classmates, young man.”‎ I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.‎ In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots（点）, which ‎ opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.‎ Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was not different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?‎ I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day--- with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: “ See what you can do when you keep trying?”‎ ‎24. The author didn’t finish the reading in class because .‎ A. He was new to the class B. He was tired of literature C. He had an attention disorder D. He wanted to take the task home ‎25. What do we know about Louis Braille from the passage?‎ A. He had good sight B. He made a great invention.‎ C. He gave up reading D. He learned a lot from school ‎26. What was Mrs. Smith’s attitude to the author at the end of the story?‎ A. Angry B. Impatient C. Sympathetic D. Encouraging ‎27. What is the main idea of the passage?‎ A. The disabled should be treated with respect.‎ B. A teacher can open up a new world to students.‎ C. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.‎ D. Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges. ‎ C Xinhua News---The Beijing government has set out to recruit thousands of university graduates to work as junior officials in rural areas to both improve rural administration and ease the city’s employment problems.‎ ‎ The government plans to recruit 3,000 university graduates this year, 1,000 more than last year, to work as assistants to village heads or party secretaries in suburban areas.‎ People interested in jobs in Beijing’s rural villages and towns can send applications ‎ to Beijing Municipal Bureau of Personnel or log on to www.bjbys.com from February 1 through March 15.‎ ‎“We hope university graduates will seize this opportunity to use their knowledge in rural villages and to start their careers,” Sun Zhenyu, the Deputy Director of Beijing Personnel Bureau, told Xinhua News Agency.‎ ‎ The government has promised successful candidates a monthly salary of 2,000 yuan in the first year, 2,500 yuan the second year and 3,000 the third year, provided their performance is up to the required standards, Sun said.‎ ‎ Wang Lina, who graduated from Beijing‎ Union ‎University last year, was one of the first graduates to find work in the city’s countryside. After majoring in Industial and Commercial Administration, Wang served as the assistant to the village head of Ertiaojie Village in suburban Beijing’s Pinggu District. For one project, Wang contacted people at Beijing Academy of Agricultural and Forestry Sciences and arranged for the local farmers to receive training in strawberry planting. Her efforts paid off. The village had a plentiful harvest of organic strawberries earlier this year.‎ Nationwide, about 150,000 university graduates found employment in rural areas last year, according to the figures provided by the Ministry of Education.‎ The ministry predicts that 4.95 million students will graduate from universities across the country this year, 820,000 more than last year. About 1.4 million of them are unlikely to find jobs when they graduate.In Beijing, a record of 200,000 people are expected to graduate from university this year. Less than half of them are expected to be offered jobs, according to Beijing Personel Bureau.‎ ‎28. From the story of Wang Lina we can learn that _________.‎ ‎   A. Wang had great difficulty in helping villagers plant organic strawberries ‎   B. local farmers can get big harvests if they work together with her ‎   C. the sooner you go to the countryside, the sooner you will be successful ‎   D. university graduate can realize their value no matter where they work ‎29. The underlined word “recruit” in the first paragraph probably means _________.‎ ‎   A. force   B. employ    C. encourage     D. train ‎30. The last two paragraphs seem to tell us that ________.‎ ‎   A. it is not easy for graduates to find jobs nowadays ‎   B. more and more graduates will work as junior officials ‎   C. the universities should not enroll so many students ‎   D. there are more and more jobs provided by the Ministry of Education ‎31. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?‎ ‎   A. The Government’s Help for University Graduates ‎   B. A Good Choice for University Graduates ‎   C. Job Hunting for University Graduates   ‎ ‎ D. What is the Best Career? ‎ D As children enter their teens, they usually begin to pay more attention to their peers (同龄人) or friends. Peer pressure (压力) can be direct or indirect, but it is almost always present. Learning to deal with peer pressure makes a teen mature (成熟的), and able to get along well with others.‎ Bad peer pressure is when teens feel pressured to do something that they know is wrong, such as smoking, drinking, or drugs, and it can remain with them into adulthood. This is the main reason teens have to learn how to deal with it.‎ Some of the things you can do to deal with peer pressure include:‎ ‎● Choose friends who share your values. Good friends use positive peer pressure to help you be your best self.‎ ‎● Keep away from situations where people are doing things you don’t want to do.‎ ‎● Think about your reasons for doing things. Are they good reasons? Are you being true to yourself and your values?‎ ‎● Practice ways of saying no, giving excuses if necessary.‎ ‎● Talk to your parents, or other trusted adults, about the kinds of peer pressure you face, and listen to their advice.‎ ‎● Let the adults know when you need help to get out of a bad situation, and don’t know what to do about it.‎ Remember that if just one teen stands up to (对抗) peer pressure, usually others will join him or her. Learning to deal with peer pressure will make you confident and mature.‎ ‎32. According to the passage, which of the following is true?‎ ‎ A. Peer pressure includes direct and indirect pressure.‎ ‎ B. Peer pressure comes from smoking, drinking and using drugs.‎ ‎ C. Teens facing pressure can’t tell right from wrong.‎ ‎ D. Teens who face pressure are more mature than those who don’t ‎33. Teens should learn to deal with peer pressure mainly because ______.‎ ‎ A. it can keep them from making serious mistakes ‎ B. it can influence them even when they have grown up ‎ C. learning to deal with it can help them get along well with others ‎ D. learning to deal with it can make them mature and confident ‎34. According to the passage, teens should ______. ‎ A. stay away from people who don’t share their values ‎ B. have good reasons for anything they do C. say no more often than yes ‎ D. ask adults they trust for help ‎35. Which column of a magazine may the passage be from?‎ ‎ A. Social problem. B. School news. C. For teens. D. Science. ‎ 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。选项中有两项畏多余选项。‎ Let children learn to judge their work. 36 If corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s. 37 They learn to do without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle, compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes.‎ But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. 38 we act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem,‎ ‎ whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.‎ If it is a matter of right answer, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. 39 Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? 40 Let the children learn what all educated people must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, and how to know what they know or do not know. ‎ A. Children learn to do all the other things in the same way.‎ B. Let him correct his own papers. ‎ C. Point out his mistakes.‎ D. We do it all for him. ‎ E. We allow him to learn from other children.‎ F. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time.‎ G. Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用 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，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。‎ One day, a professor entered the classroom and asked his students to prepare for a surprise test.
