It was a new record player to play my old records on. I set it up in my bedroom. It looked like a black briefcase but it had speakers built into the sides. I went over to the record collection that I had kept since childhood and pulled out a 35⁃year⁃old record. I placed it gently on the record player. I pushed on the power button. Then I carefully picked up the needle and placed it on the spinning (旋转) record. Then the sweet sound of music flowed from the record player into my ‎ ears and down to my soul. It was one of those moments of pure joy that makes life so wonderful. I closed my eyes and danced to the sound. In my mind I was fourteen years old again, singing and dancing to the music in my mom's living room.‎ I opened my eyes again and smiled. My young puppy, however, jumped up and down around my feet and barked happily while I danced with delight to the sweet sounds coming from my birthday present.‎ I have been thankful for so many sweet sounds in my life. I have heard the first birds singing in the spring. I have heard the wind whistling through the trees. I have heard my newborn babies' first cries. I have heard children laughing and playing. I have heard the wonderful words, “I love you.” I have heard beautiful, glorious music. I hope to keep adding the sounds of my own love, laughter, kindness, and joy to them too. I hope to do all I can to make this earth sound a little more like Heaven. May you do so as well.‎ ‎4. What was my birthday present in the passage?‎ ‎ A. A new speaker. B. A record player. C. A black briefcase. D. A record collection.‎ ‎5.

My Birthday Present D. Unforgettable Memories C Electric Cars Where do cars get their energy from? For most cars, the answer is petrol. But some cars use electricity. These cars have special motors that get their power from large batteries.‎ Most people tend to think of electric cars as a new invention, but they have been around for a long time. They were popular when the technology for petrol engines was not very advanced. Recently,‎ electric cars have again become popular because people want cars that pollute less.‎ Electric cars are better than petrol cars in several ways. The biggest benefit is reduced pollution. In areas where there is a high percentage of electric cars, there is less pollution. But itis important to understand that electric cars still cause pollution. Remember that the electricity to power electric cars has to come from somewhere, which is most likely a power station. Unless these power stations run on solar or wind energy, they are most likely burning coal and oil to make electricity. The second benefit of electric cars is a reduction in the dependence on foreign oil.‎ There are several countries, including the United States, which don't want to rely on oil coming from other countries to power their transportation systems. They want the power to come from within their country, and since electric cars can run on electricity from coal or nuclear power stations, there is less of a need to import oil.‎ Despite the benefits of electric cars, there are some problems with them as well. One disadvantage is that electric cars are more expensive than petrol cars. This is mostly due to the high cost of the batteries these cars need. Electric cars run on batteries, just like a mobile phone does. But unlike a mobile phone, you cannot charge your electric car's battery by plugging it into a wall. They need to be charged in special places. Now, there is a lack of places where people can charge the batteries. Another problem is that electric cars cannot travel as far as petrol cars. Some people are afraid that the battery will run out of electricity (and the car will stop) before they reach their destination.‎ Despite these problems, many people, including automobile industry experts, believe that the percentage of electric cars will increase in the future.‎ ‎8. What's the main idea of Paragraph 3?‎ ‎ A. Electric cars make some countries independent.‎ ‎ B. Electric cars cause no pollution to the environment.‎ ‎ C. Electric cars have some advantages over petrol cars.‎ ‎ D. Electric cars need electricity from solar or wind energy.‎ ‎9. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the shortcomings of electric cars?‎ ‎ A. Petrol cars are cheaper than electric cars.‎ ‎ B. Electric cars need special motors to get power.‎ ‎ C. Petrol cars can travel farther than electric cars.‎ ‎ D. Electric cars need special places to get charged.‎ ‎10. We can infer from the passage that ______ .‎ ‎ A. electric cars will take the place of petrol cars ‎ B. no one holds hope for electric cars at present ‎ C. electric cars waste more energy than before ‎ D. more and more people will use electric cars ‎11. The main purpose of the passage is to _____ .‎ ‎ A. argue and prove B. attract and discuss ‎ C. inform(告知，通知) and explain D. advertise and conclude（推断，做结论）‎ D If you're looking for any sort of career advice, it's likely you've heard a certain suggestion before: Pursue(追求)your passion! In this economy, you'll hardly make any money no matter what you do, so why not do something you're passionate（热情的） about?‎ However, that's not exactly how the world works. Passion is rarely enough to get you through on its own. Finding a project you love is all well and good on a sunny day when you're feeling okay. But on those gray days when you're suffering from the flu or you're otherwise down, passion is rarely enough to get it done.‎ I know that feeling. At the most basic level, I spendevery day writing. I'm passionate about writing and the topics I cover. But today, it's too cold outside. I didn't get enough sleep and all I can think about is crawling into a nice warm bed. Yet, I'm sitting here, typing up a post just for you. How do I keep it up?‎ There's another route you could go. You could take on anything that pays the bills, then find fun projects you're passionate about on the side. This is exactly the route I took when I was a freelancer (自由职业者) fresh out of college. That approach, as it happens, leads straight to passion burnout（烧坏，燃料用尽）.‎ The reason I'm still planted firmly at my keyboard on a day when I don't have an immediate deadline is not just because I'm passionate about writing. I also have a sense of purpose. Besides following your passion, you also need to define your purpose. I write to help businesses with their content because I know my writing makes a difference for them.‎ My purpose keeps my passion. My work is something I'll stick to whether or not I feel passionate about writing anything today.‎ ‎ You can find your purpose as well as your passion—and then find a place where both intersect (交叉). It may be easier to find a day job you can tolerate. But the only way to find something that works for you is to get involved with different groups and to explore different purposes you care about. You don't need an all-consuming cause, but you do need something you care enough about to give up sleeping in on the weekends. Only then will you really be capable of pursuing your passion, and your purpose along with it.‎ ‎12. Who do you think the passage is written for?‎ ‎ A. Writers. B. Job hunters. C. Managers. D. Career planners.‎ ‎13. Which of the following statements will the author most probably agree with?‎ ‎ A. People can work with passion if they earn a lot of money.‎ ‎ B. People work well only on sunny days or when they are well.‎ ‎ C. People need to find as many jobs as possible to discover their interest.‎ ‎ D. People work hard even though they are not passionate about something.‎ ‎14. What's the author's attitude toward his job?‎ ‎ A. Doubtful. B. Unconcerned. C. Determined. D. Challenged.‎ ‎15. What's the main idea of the passage?‎ ‎ A. The difference between passion and purpose and how it affects your job search.‎ ‎ B. The importance of passion and how it gets you through when facing problems.‎ ‎ C. The relationship between passion and purpose and how it improves your life.‎ ‎ D. The importance of purpose and how it helps you keep a job.‎ 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人空白处的最佳选项。其中有两项为多余选项。‎ How to improve your perseverance(毅力)‎ ‎ If you’re familiar with the story of the hare (野兔) and the tortoise, you know that the tortoise proved that perseverance is much more important than speed. 16 , but fewer people have the patience and perseverance of the tortoise. Here are some tips that can help you to improve your ‎ perseverance.‎ ‎● Set goals and write them down.‎ ‎ If you don’t know what you want to accomplish, it’s hard to persevere until you do. 17 , instead of making many projects that may upset you.‎ ‎● 18 , and cross each step off the list as you complete it.‎ ‎ If you want to master the ability to cook German dishes, you’ll need to read cookbooks, study the recipes（食谱）, buy ingredients（食料） and practice making the dishes. Write down all these steps and remove each step as you go.‎ ‎● Make a list of the rewards related to any project to encourage yourself to persevere.‎ ‎ When you want to lose 40 pounds, it may seem like a difficult goal. 19 . You can lower your blood sugar or fit into your favorite pair of jeans. Keep those rewards in mind to encourage yourself to stick to your diet and exercise program. ‎ ‎● Imagine your success.‎ ‎ Take time each day to sit back, relax and picture the life you’ll lead once you’ve reached your goal. 20 . Read them over several times a day to encourage yourself to keep going.‎ A. Like the hare, many people start off strong B. And you should focus on every step carefully C. You can’t lose weight only by going on a diet D. Make a list of the steps needed to reach your goal E. But there are big rewards for doing so F. Choose one or two goals that are most important to you and work toward those G. Or you can write out a paragraph or two about how reaching your goal will change your life 二、完形填空（共20小题；每小题2分，共30分）‎ 阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项中，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。‎ ‎ When my kids were small, I started a tradition in our house of giving eight gifts over the course of the eight days of Hanukkah(光明节).
