Working with them as they improved taught me new ways to show forgiveness, understanding, and patience. One day the placement officer asked me to interview a young man who was having trouble finding a job. He told me that David was a little shy, did not talk much and was afraid to go on with interviews. He requested that I give David an interview just for practice. He plainly told David that I had no positions open at the time and the interview was just for practice. When David came in for the interview, he hardly said a word. I told him what we did at the bicycle shop and showed him around. I told David to keep showing up because the number one thing an employer wanted in an associate was dependability. David was very quiet ( he was evaluated as a slow learner in school). Every ten days or so, for weeks after the interview, David walked into the bicycle shop and stood by the front door. He never said a word, just stood by the door. One day, shortly before Christmas, a large truck came to the shop, packed with 250 new bicycles. It had to be unloaded right away or the driver would leave. It was raining. Some of my workers (without physical limitations) chose not to brave the weather to get into work, so I was short-handed. It seemed everything was going wrong and on top of it, David came in the front door and just stood there. I looked at him and shouted, “Well, all right! Fill out a time card and help me unload this truck!” David worked for my bicycle shop for eighteen years. He came to work every day thirty minutes early. He could talk; however, he rarely chose to. He drove my truck and made deliveries. The customers would praise David, saying, “He doesn’t talk, but he really shows you how to operate a lawn mower!” 4.The author gave David an interview to _______ A. find a person who is reliable B. find a part-time worker in need C. give him some practice D. show sympathy for him 5.The author finally hired David because________ A. there were no other workers in the shop then B. he needed someone who was willing to work then C. David kept showing up D. he realized David was dependable 6.We can infer from the last paragraph that_______ A. some customers just play jokes on David B. David has had his character changed through work C. the author prefers David to be more outgoing D. the author feels lucky to hire David 7.The author’s tone in describing David is full of ______ A. pity B. wonder C. disappointment D. appreciation 解析： 4. C 细节理解题 根据第二段 He plainly told David that I had no positions open at the time and the interview was just for practice.可知，作者给大卫面试的机会仅仅想让他得到一定的锻炼， 故选 C 5. B 细节理解题。根据第六段提到 Some of my workers (without physical limitations) chose not to brave the weather to get into work, so I was short-handed.可知一些工人不想冒雨干活，不得 已雇佣大卫，故选 B 6. D 推理判断题。根据最后一段提到 David worked for my bicycle shop for eighteen years. He came to work every day thirty minutes early. He could talk; however, he rarely chose to.大卫工作 认真负责，赢得顾客尊重，故选 D 7.D 细节理解题。根据最后一段提到对于戴维的描述以及顾客对他的评价，可知选 D 项。 答案：CBDD 【题文】C What happens inside the skull of a soccer player who repeatedly heads a soccer ball? That question motivated a challenging new study of the brains of experienced players that has caused discussion and debate among soccer players, and some anxiety among those of us with soccer-playing children. For the study, researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York selected 34 adults, men and women. All of the volunteers had played soccer since childhood and now competed year-round in adult soccer leagues. Each filled out a detailed questionnaire developed especially for this study to determine how many times they had headed a soccer ball in the previous year, as well as whether they had experienced any known concussions (脑震荡) in the past. Then the players completed computerized tests of their memory and other learning skills and had their brains scanned, using a complicated new M.R.I. technique which can find structural changes in the brain that can’t be seen during most scans. According to the data they presented at a Radiological Society of North America meeting last month, the researchers found that the players who had headed the ball more than about 1,100 times in the previous 12 months showed significant loss of white matter in parts of their brains involved with memory, attention and the processing of visual information, compared with players who had headed the ball fewer times. This pattern of white matter loss is “similar to those seen in traumatic (外伤的) brain injury”, like that after a serious concussion, the researchers reported, even though only one of these players was reported to have ever experienced a concussion. The players who had headed the ball about 1,100 times or more in the past year were also generally worse at recalling lists of words read to them, forgetting or fumbling the words far more often than players who had headed the ball less. 8. The passage is most probably a______. A. news report B. research report C. story for soccer players D. text for doctors 9. In which way can we find the structural changes in the brain? A. Computerized test. B. Questionnaire.. C. Scanning. D. M.R.I. technique. 10. From the passage we can conclude that frequent heading may have_____. A. significant effect on brain B. little effect on one’s brain C. nothing to do with the brain injury D. one’s memory improved 11. The underlined word "fumbling" is closest in meaning to______. A. remembering B. misunderstanding C. recalling D. missing 解析： 8.B 细节题，由第二段的第一句话 For the study, researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York selected 34 adults 可以知道是研究报告，所以选 B 9.D 根据 using a complicated new M.R.I. technique which can find structural changes in the brain that can't be seen during most scans，故选 D。 10.A 细节题，由最后一段最后一句 forgetting or fumbling the words far more often than players who had headed the ball less.可以知道重大影响人的大脑，所以选 A 11.D 推理题，由前面的单词 forgetting 可以推出那个词是丢失的意思，所以选 D。 答案：BDAD 【题文】D The view over a valley of a tiny village with thatched (草盖的) roof cottages around a church; a drive through a narrow village street lined with thatched cottages painted pink or white; the sight over the rolling hills of a pretty collection of thatched farm buildings—these are still common sights in parts of England. Most people will agree that the thatched roof is an essential part of the attraction of the English countryside. Thatching is in fact the oldest of all the building crafts practiced in the British Isles(英伦诸 岛). Although thatch has always been used for cottage and farm buildings, it was once used for castles and churches too. Thatching is a solitary (独立的) craft, which often runs in families. The craft of thatching as it is practiced today has changed very little since the Middle Ages. Over 800 full-time thatchers are employed in England and Wales today, maintaining and renewing the old roofs as well as thatching newer houses. Many property owners choose thatch not only for its beauty but because they know it will keep them cool in summer and warm in winter. In fact, if we look at developing countries, over half the world lives under thatch, but they all do it in different ways. People in developing countries are often reluctant to go back to traditional materials and would prefer modern buildings. However, they may lack the money to allow them to import the necessary materials. Their temporary mud huts with thatched roofs of wild grasses often only last six months. Thatch which has been done the British way lasts from twenty to sixty years, and is an effective defiance against the heat. 12. Which of the following remains a unique feature against the heat_______. A. Narrow streets lined with pink or white houses. B. Rolling hills with pretty farm buildings. C. Cottages with thatched roofs. D. Churches with cottages around them. 13. What do we know about thatching as a craft? A. It is a collective activity. B. It is practised on farms all over England. C. It is quite different from what it used to be. D. It is in most cases handed down among family members. 14. People in developing countries also live under thatch because . A. thatched cottages are a big tourist attraction B. thatched roof houses are the cheapest C. thatch is an effective defense against the heat D. they like thatched houses better than other buildings 15. We can learn from the passage that . A. thatched cottages in England have been passed down from ancient times. B. thatching is a building craft first created by the English people. C. the English people have a special liking for thatched houses. D. most thatched cottage in England are located on hillsides. 解析： 12.C 事实题。本题询问下面的哪一项保留着英国乡村的独一无二的特征。由第 1 段最后一 句“Most people will agree that the thatched roof i an essential part of the attraction of the English countryside.大多数人认为茅草顶是英国乡村的魅力中最重要的一部分”，我们可以得知，C 为正确答案。 13.D 事实推理题。本题询问关于制作茅草顶这一门艺术，我们可以了解什么。由第 3 段第 1 句“Thatching is a solitary craft，which often runs in families.茅草顶制作是一门独自的艺术，通 常由单个的家庭来制作。”可以推断出 D 为正确答案。 14.B 事实推理题。本题询问发展中国家的人民也住在茅草顶下是因为______。第 4 段第 2 和第 3 句提到，发展中国家的人民更喜欢现代的建筑物，但他们没有钱来进口必要的原料， 因此我们可以推断 B 为正确答案。 15.C 细节推断题。根据本文的主题可以推断出来茅草屋舒适而美观，深受英国人喜爱，故 选 C 项。 答案：CDBC 【题文】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。 It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it, then life is no longer difficult. Most do not fully see this truth. 16 . It seems to them that their difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation. 17 . Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy. 18 . 19 . When we desire to encourage the growth of the human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. 20 .As Benjamin Franklin said, "Those things that hurt, instruct." It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems. A. Problems are the serious test that tells success from failure. B. Life is not a trap set for us by God so that he can condemn (责难) us for failing. C. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. D. Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. E. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. F.We can register to make money and participate in problem solving collaboration (合作、协作) groups. G. What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. 解析： 16. E 从后面的句子：It seems to them that their difficulties represent (stand for) a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, 可知他们抱怨问题和困难，好 像生活应该是容易的。选 E 17 G 从后面的句子：These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain.可知人生的困难是面对它们的时候很痛苦。选 G 18.D 从前面的句子：And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.可知在解决这些问题的过程人生有了意义。选 D 19 A 从后面的句子：When we desire（希望） to encourage the growth of the human spirit, 可知 解决问题是区分成功和失败的考验。选 A 20.C 从后面的句子：As Benjamin Franklin said, "Those things that hurt, instruct" (应该从痛苦 艰辛中学习和获得指示。). 可知我们是通过遇到困难，解决困难去学习的。选 C 答案：EGDAC 第二部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分 40 分） 第一节 完形填空（共 20 小题, 每小题 1.5 分，共 30 分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 Many students find the experience of attending university lectures to be a puzzling and disappointing experience.

Bees must learn which flowers contain their food from the smells of the flowers. 41 the bees do not learn which smells mean food, they will starve. Researchers in Britain found that pesticides 42 (use) by farmers and gardeners can switch off the part of a bee’s brain that is responsible 43 associating smells with food. Lead researcher Dr. Geraldine Wright said pesticides could seriously impact the 44 (survive) of honeybee colonies. She said, “Bees that cannot learn will not be able to find food.” This also 45 (mean) bees will not pollinate (给……授粉) crops and wild plants. Bee populations around the world have been declining. Scientists have searched for a long time for a reason 46 so many bees are disappearing. This new research may be 47 important clue. However, the British government does not want to stop the use of the pesticides that may prevent bees from learning. 48 wants to carry out more tests to make sure pesticides are the real reason for the decrease in the number of bees. A spokeswoman from the Friends Of The Earth charity said the government must act 49 (soon) rather than later. “Bee health is far too urgent to wait 50 more research has been completed.

We all want to live in a society in which people follow rules and norms,but we can’t only change ourselves. On my way to school, I leave my home, walk down my street, cross at the crossing and wait for the bus. This process provides plenty of opportunities to act in a civilized way. For instance, I walk in an orderly manner along the sidewalk and I do not throw any trash onto the ground. These are good manners no matter where I’m walking .Then , when I get to the crossing , I wait until the intersection is clear and the traffic light has changed before I cross the street. These are the traffic laws, so I know that I should observe them. When waiting for the bus , I do not cut anyone else in line, on the bus , I take a seat politely and do not bother any other passengers Civilization clearly starts from me ----I cant control others or perfectly understand their reasons for disobeying manners. But I am proud to follow the famous motto of Gandhi “Be the change you want to see in the world”
