It was 1944, but I can remember my mother’s words as if it were yesterday: “ Kerrel, I don’t want you to take food from your father, because he has AIDS. Be very careful when you are around him.” ‎ AIDS wasn’t something we talked about in my country when I was growing up. From ‎ then on, I knew that this would be a family secret. My parents were not together anymore, and my dad lived alone. For a while, he could take care of himself. But when I was 12, his condition worsened. My father’s other children lived far away, so it fell to me to look after him. ‎ We couldn’t afford all the necessary medication for him, and because Dad was unable to work, I had no money for school supplies and often couldn’t even buy food for dinner. I would sit in class feeling completely lost, the teacher’s words muffled(消声) as I tried to figure out how I was going to manage. I did not share my burden with anyone. I had seen how people reacted to AIDS. Kids laughed at classmates who had parents with the disease. And even adults could be cruel. When my father was moved to the hospital, the nurses would leave his food on the bedside table even though he was too weak to feed himself. ‎ I had known that he was going to die, but after so many years of keeping his condition a secret, I was completely unprepared when he reached his final days. Sad and hopeless, I called a woman at the nonprofit National AIDS Support. That day, she kept me on the phone for hours. I was so lucky to find someone who cared. She saved my life. ‎ I was 15 when my father died. He took his secret away with him, having never spoken about AIDS to anyone, even me. He didn’t want to call attention to AIDS, but I do. ‎ ‎21. What does Kerrel tell us about her father? ‎ A. He had stayed in the hospital since he fell ill. ‎ B. He depended on the nurses in his final days. ‎ ‎ C. He worked hard to pay for his medication. ‎ ‎ D. He told no one about his disease. ‎ ‎22. What can we learn from the underlined sentence? ‎ ‎ A. Kerrel couldn’t understand her teacher. ‎ ‎ B. Kerrel had special difficulty in hearing.‎ ‎ C. Kerrel was too troubled to focus on the lesson. ‎ ‎ D. Kerrel was too tired to hear her teacher’s words. ‎ ‎23. Why did Kerrel keep her father’s disease a secret? ‎ ‎ A. She was afraid of being looked down upon.B. She thought it was shameful to have AIDS. ‎ ‎ C. She found no one willing to listen to her. D. She wanted to obey her mother. ‎ ‎24. Why did Kerrel write the passage? ‎ ‎ A. To tell people about the sufferings of her father.‎ ‎ B. To show how little people knew about AIDS. ‎ ‎ C. To draw people’s attention to AIDS. ‎ D. To remember her father. ‎ B In Canada and the United States, there is a new group of children called “satellite kids”, who live in one place but whose parents live in another place.‎ Asians are immigrating to Canada and the United States in larger numbers than ever before. Most Asians immigrate because they believe that they can give their children a better education in the West. In Asia, especially in China, Japan, and Korea, it is difficult to go to university. Students must first pass the strict national examination. However, in Canada and the United States, it is easy to go to university, and anyone who wants to go can go. As a result, Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university.‎ The problem is that when Asians arrive, they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the West than in the East. Also, they find that they are very lonely, and that they miss their homes. For these two reasons, most Asian parents decide to go back to work while their children study in the West. Therefore, these children become “satellite kids”, and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a “satellite kid”.‎ Only until now are Canadians and Americans discovering the “satellite kid” problem. Because these children do not speak English and because their parents are not there to take care of them, they are often absent from school. To be a “satellite kid” means to grow up in a country where you know you are different and where you cannot make friends because you do not speak English well. Also, it means to grow up lonely, because your parents are elsewhere. What these “satellite kids” will probably say to their parents is that it’s better to have parents around than to have a university education.‎ ‎25. Some Asian parents send their kids abroad because ________.‎ A. they hope their children may easily find a job there.‎ B. the kids may not be accepted by universities in their own countries.‎ C. all foreign universities are better than the ones in their own countries.‎ D. the kids want to improve their English and make foreign friends.‎ ‎26. “Satellite kids” refer to Asian kids ________.‎ A. without parents B. living abroad alone C. with university education D. speaking no English ‎27. Some Asian immigrant children become “satellite kids” because their parents ________.‎ A. want to leave their own country B. want them to go to university C. return to their countries to work D. want them to be independent C Working overtime has become routine for white-collar workers, with more than 60 percent of employees in a recent survey saying they have to work extra time on weekdays and 40 percent have to do so on the weekends.‎ The survey was released by leading portal website NetEase. It was based on data from 800 million users as well as results from more than 38,000 questionnaires. Work outside of the 9 am to 6 pm time frame was defined as working overtime.‎ Working such long hours can be harmful to employee’s health.‎ Zhaopin, working for a Chinese human resource website, said in a report that 56.6 percent of white-collar workers have no time to exercise.‎ Huang Ruoshan, Zhaopin's senior career consultant, said working overtime is only prevalent(流行的，盛行的) in certain industries such as real estate, the Internet and finance.‎ ‎"Sometimes working overtime is necessary because those industries are developing very rapidly,which demands employees work hard under pressure and work extra time," said Huang. "Take the e-commerce industry as an example: It actually demands that employees be available 24 hours a day and seven days a week."‎ An employee of mobile phone company Oppo in Shenzhen who only wanted to be identified as Shen, said it is normal to work extra time and he is willing to do that.‎ ‎"I barely have weekends. However, I am satisfied with my job, my colleagues and working environment. This industry is changing so fast, I am proud to say I am creating value in my position," said Shen, 27.‎ According to a report released by Zhaopin in February, getting out of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou has become more popular, with more job seekers considering moving to smaller cities.‎ ‎"Employers have figured out how to keep talent under high pressure," said Huang. "Certain companies provide canteens, exercise facilities and other convenient services. Job seekers can't change the workload, but have to make their choices based on the situation." Huang, the career consultant, said.‎ ‎28. If one works from 9 am to 9 pm, how many extra hours does he work?‎ A. Three hours. B. Twelve hours. C. Two hours. D. Eleven hours.‎ ‎29. What is the attitude of Huang Ruoshan toward the overtime working?‎ A. He is indifferent about it.‎ B. He thinks working overtime is not very serious.‎ C. He is very worried about working overtime.‎ D. He supports the working overtime.‎ ‎30. What can we learn from what Shen said?‎ A. He always has plenty of weekends.‎ B. He is considering changing his job.‎ C. His marriage is endangered.‎ D. He is satisfied with his job.‎ ‎31. What is thenew trend for more job seekers?‎ A. Big city is their first choice.‎ B. Big company is their favorite.‎ C. Smaller city is not a bad choice as well.‎ D. Good salary is the most important.‎ D ‎ When 7-year-old Warren Buffett said,“I will be the richest man one day,” his friends made fun of his “daydreaming”. But ever since then the little boy has set about learning how to make money by selling drinks, delivering newspapers and buying stocks. The American had already earned $9,000 (equal to $90,000 today) by the time ‎ he graduated from high school.‎ ‎ And this month the 78-year-old man, who earned his fortune by making a lot of sound investment in the stock（股票）market, took the place of Microsoft founder, Bill Gates, as the world’s richest man. Gates’ worth declined $1.5 billion to $55.5 billion in 33 days after the recent financial storm, according to Forbes Magazine.‎ ‎ Buffett, the only son of a stockbroker, was ready to think outside the box to develop his business from a very early age. At 8, he went to golf courses collecting and selling the used balls. At 11 when he sold soda pop door-to-door with a friend, the pair collected lids on streets to judge which flavor was the most popular.‎ ‎ As a paper boy during high school, Buffett delivered two competitor papers, so that even when customers canceled one of the subscriptions, he could still make a profit from the other. With his paper delivery savings, Buffett bought 162,000 square meters of farmland and collected rent. Young Buffett stepped into the stock market at 11 but earned only $5. The experience taught him one of the virtues in investing, patience. ‎ ‎ After graduatingfrom university, Buffett started his venture with stocks with his childhood earnings and money from friends. He researched the stocks and just bought those of solid companies that were undervalued and inexpensive at the time. By sticking to companies such as American Express and Coca-Cola, Buffett has become rich.‎ ‎ “Learning is important to Buffett’s success. He is a learning machine who can spend his entire day reading. He keeps learning from books, street smarts and investigation, from both success and failure. In this way, he over-achieved his aptitude (能力).” said Charlie Munger, his longtime business partner. ‎ ‎32. The passage is mainly about ___________.‎ A. why Buffett took the place of Bill Gates as the world’s richest man B. what effect Buffett’s childhood experiences had on his success C. what Buffett dreamt about when he was a child D. how Buffett earned his fortune and achieved his aptitude ‎33. Which of the following is true about Buffett?‎ A. He is next to Bill Gates in wealth at the present time.‎ B. He achieved great success the first time he stepped into the stock market.‎ C. His worth is more than $ 55.5 billion now. ‎ D He bought 162,000 square meters of farmland by selling soda pop.‎ ‎34. Which is the main factor that determines Buffett’s success?‎ A. His degree of education. ‎ B. His eagerness to absorb the knowledge. ‎ C. His family background.‎ D. His cooperation with his partner.‎ ‎35. What can we infer from the passage?‎ A. Buffett is an immediate success in the stock market. ‎ B. Buffett and Gates are business partners.‎ C. His father helped him a lot in his business. ‎ D. Buffett has a good sense of business.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5 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。‎ E Have you ever changed your mind, or even given up a dream because you were afraid of what someone else might think of you? If you’re often worried about what friends, family, or even strangers in the street might think, then you’re using up a huge amount of energy worrying. 36 But the steps below should help.‎ Step 1: Ask yourself what matters to you.‎ ‎ Maybe you can’t stand the gym, but your best friend works out every day.
