The passage is likely to be taken from 　　　. ‎ A. an official report B. an amusement magazine C. a science magazine D. a news report ‎ B Last Saturday on the way to the mall, two children, a boy and a girl, came running towards me with bottles on their hands, asking if I wanted bottled water. It was a surprising gesture. I was wondering if they were doing fund-raising. I knelt and asked them where their parents were and how much a bottle of water cost. Then two adult women came up to me explaining what the children were doing. “We are teaching the children to give without anything in return. We are teaching people to accept without giving in return.”‎ Two mothers had bought bottled water and placed a sticker(小贴纸)on all bottles with five different quotes(引述):‎ ‎1.Smile at everyone. You’ll never know when someone may need it.‎ ‎2.If Plan A does not work, there are 25 more letters in the alphabets.‎ ‎3.Have a thirst for life. Every day is filled with possibilities.‎ ‎4.In your thirst for knowledge, be sure you don’t drown in all the information.‎ ‎5.Dig your well before you’re thirsty.‎ The bottle I have has quoted No. 5. A sudden change of attitude opened up among me, the mothers and the children. We are no longer strangers to each other. We were having such a great time chatting and I ended up helping them give away the rest of the bottled water.‎ One young lady was so thankful that she happily accepted the water and said it was the best thing that happened to her all day since she had a bad day at work. A man refused and walked away saying “No, thanks”. A couple kept on bowing to us in gratitude. When it was all done, the children and I were giving each other high-five. It was so much fun. I think I had more fun doing this than the mothers and the children.‎ ‎25.How did the author feel when he was offered bottled water?‎ A. Embarrassed B. Surprised C. Excited D. Disappointed ‎26.Different quotes were placed on the bottles to .‎ A. inspire others to think positively B. show how rich and colorful our life is C. encourage people to get more bottled water D. explain why at times abandonment is necessary facing trouble ‎27.What did the author do after chatting with them?‎ A. He bought the rest of the bottled water.‎ B. He gave away some money for charity.‎ C. He decided to meet with them regularly.‎ - 12 -‎ D. He joined them in being kind to strangers.‎ ‎28.What do we know from the last paragraph?‎ A. People responded quite differently to this activity.‎ B. Children had more fun doing this than adults.‎ C. This random(随机的)act of kindness is warmly welcomed.‎ D. The author learned a lot from this random act of kindness.‎ C The most common problem that worries all of us today is the fear of insecurity. Life has become so competitive that every now and then we are struck (遭遇) by the fear of the unknown. With every new turn of events our self-confidence takes a blow. The biggest challenge before every person today is not to lose confidence in one’s ability.‎ There are several reasons that affect a person’s self-confidence. The most important reason is lack of success. Not being able to succeed affects one’s self-confidence greatly. This is when one begins to doubt his own ability. In many cases one’s self-confidence is low when he feels rejected by society. For example, a person who loses his job gives a wide berth to other people for fear of being questioned about his work. However, this isn’t right at all. One needs to think along positive lines in spite of failures. After all it is your life and you have every right to live your life as you wish.‎ The challenge lies in not allowing your self-confidence to decrease. It is very important to believe in yourself. Self belief is the secret to success. When success doesn’t come to you, you should not allow your self belief to be affected. Always keep in mind that success is sure to come in time. So, there is nothing wrong with your ability. Whenever lack of success causes you to doubt your ability, don’t forget to remind yourself that quick success does not last long. Also remember not to compare yourself to others. These tips will do a world of good to your confidence.‎ In order to be self-confident, you need to have a lifestyle that is right for you. Create one and live a life as you want to. Leave others to themselves.‎ ‎29. According to the text, what causes people to fear the unknown?‎ ‎ A. The low abilities. B. The lack of security.‎ ‎ C. The loss of self-confidence. D. The severe competition in life.‎ ‎30. What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about?‎ ‎ A. How to achieve success.‎ ‎ B. How to keep one’s self-confidence.‎ ‎ C. The challenges that one should overcome.‎ ‎ D. The reasons that affect one’s self-confidence.‎ ‎31. In the author’s opinion, it’s important that one _____.‎ ‎ A. should not forget his failures B. should follow others’ advice - 12 -‎ ‎ C. should not lose heart D. should adjust to life D Anna Schiferl hadn’t even got out of bed when she reached for her cellphone and typed a text to her mom, one recent Saturday. Mom was right downstairs in the kitchen. The text? Anna wanted an egg for breakfast. Soon after, Joanna Schiferl called, “If you want to talk to me, Anna, come downstairs and see me!” Anna laughs about it now. “I was kind of being lazy,” she admits.‎ These days, many people with cellphones prefer texting to a phone call. And that’s creating a communication divide of sorts—the talkers vs. the texters. Some would argue that it’s no big deal. But many experts say the most successful communicators will, of course, have the competence to do both. And they fear that more of us are unable to have—or at least are avoiding—the traditional face-to-face conversations.‎ Many professors say it is not common to see students outside of class. “I sit in my office hours lonely now because if my students have a question, they e-mail me, often late at night,” says Renee Houston, a professor at the University of Puget Sound in Washington State. “And they never call.”‎ As Anna sees it: “There are people you’ll text, but won’t call. It’s just a way to stay in touch with each other.” Some believe that scores of texts each day keep people more connected. “The problem is that the conversation isn’t very deep,” says Joseph Grenny, co-author of the book Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When Stakes are High.‎ ‎“The problem has been there since we’ve had telephones—probably since the time of a telegraph,” Grenny says. Texting is just the latest way to do that. Though they may not always be so good at deep conversations themselves, Grenny suggests that parents model the behavior for their children and put down their own cell phones. He says that they also should set limits, as Anna’s mom did when she made the “no texting to people in the same house” rule.‎ ‎32.According to Paragraph 1, Joanna .‎ A. did not know how to use a cell phone B. was very strict with her daughter C. was angry that her daughter got up late D. did not have any breakfast that morning ‎33.The underlined word “competence” in Paragraph 2 probably means “ ”.‎ A. chance B. courage C. ability D. patience ‎34. In Joseph Grenny’s opinion, .‎ A. cell phones make people lonelier ‎ B. telephones help people communicate clearly C. talking should be encouraged instead of texting ‎ D. texting helps people have deeper conversations ‎35.What is the best title of the passage mainly?‎ A. Why is communication important? B. Is texting ruining the art of - 12 -‎ ‎ conversation?‎ C. How does texting affect kids at school? D. How can we avoid one-sided conversations?‎ 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。‎ You often find somebody who works around you complaining all the time, don’t you?‎ ‎ 36 About 70% of Americans say being around nonstop complainers sometimes has a bad influence on them. Luckily, here are 4 tips to help form positive patterns.‎ ‎1. Self-awareness When a negative thought pops into your mind, immediately correct it. Instead of telling yourself “That’s a nice shirt, but I can’t afford it,” change the message to “That will look great with my black pants when I can afford it.” 37 .‎ Of course, everyone complains sometimes. But the less frequently you complain, the better you will feel.‎ ‎2. Distance yourself ‎ 38 Excuse yourself and go somewhere quiet, somewhere outdoors in the fresh air. Think of something pleasant before returning. You have to take this seriously because negative people can and will pull you into the quicksand (困境).‎ ‎3. Don’t try to change complainers If you find yourself trapped in a group of complainers in a meeting or at a social event, simply choose silence. Let their words bounce (弹起) off you while you think of something else. Attempting to stop the complaining can make you a target. 39 If someone says, “I hate Mondays, weekends are too short,” try to think, “I’m glad I rested up over the weekend, so I’m ready to make some improvement on that big project.”‎ ‎4. 40 ‎ When someone is shouting at you angrily, throw the responsibility back at them by asking, “So what do you intend to do about it?” In most cases, complainers don’t really want a solution. They just want to speak them out. If you make them aware that they themselves have to find the solutions, they will leave you alone and find someone else to complain to. If so, you will be happy.‎ A. Change responsibility B. Find solutions C. You have got a lot of company.‎ D. By doing this, it will lead to positive behaviors.‎ E. But you can redirect the discussion in your own mind.‎ F. You will never know what they are going to talk about.‎ G. Whenever possible, escape from negative conversations.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)‎ 第一节 (共20小题；每小题1. 5分，满分30分)‎ - 12 -‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ The day finally came, when I had to leave the warm home where I'd grown up.

Second, if they have to be picked up by their parents by car, they’d better remind their parents to park their cars in proper places. Finally, it might be helpful to make students of different grades leave school at different times. ‎ I hope my suggestions will be useful to help solve the problem. ‎ Best wishes! ‎ Yours sincerely, ‎ Li Hua - 12 -‎
