A guide book. D. An official report.‎ C ‎ White chocolate, German chocolate, ice cream: There are hundreds of types of birthday cake in the world, each beautiful in its own sugary way. You are likely to enjoy one during at least one (hopefully all) of your birthday parties. But in between delicious bites of cake, have you ever stopped and wondered, “Why am I eating this? What makes this dessert fit to celebrate the day of my birth?”‎ ‎ It’s because you are as important and beloved as the gods. Kind of.‎ ‎ The ancient Egyptians are thought to have “invented” the celebration of birthdays. They believed when pharaohs (法老) were crowned, they became gods, so their coronation (加冕) day was a pretty big deal. That was their “birth” as a god.‎ ‎ Ancient Greeks borrowed the tradition, but realized that a dessert would make the celebration ‎ all the more meaningful. So they baked moon-shaped cakes to offer up to Artemis, goddess of the moon. They decorated them with lighted candles to make the cakes shine like the moon. Hence, it is the reason why we light our birthday cakes on fire.‎ ‎ Modern birthday parties are said to get their roots from the 18th century German celebration “Kinderfeste”. On the morning of a child’s birthday, he or she would receive a cake with lighted candles that added up to the kid’s age, plus one. This extra candle was called the “light of life,” representing the hope of another full year lived.‎ ‎ And then, torture — because no one could eat the cake until after dinner. The family replaced the candles as they burned out throughout the day. Finally, when the moment came, the birthday child would make a wish, try to blow out all the candles in one breath, and dig in. Like modern tradition, the birthday girl or boy wouldn’t tell anyone the wish so it would come true.‎ ‎ Since the ingredients (原料) to make cakes were pretty expensive, this birthday custom didn’t become popular until the Industrial Revolution. More ingredients were available, which made them cheaper, and bakeries even started selling pre-baked cakes.‎ ‎28. What is the passage mainly about?‎ ‎ A. The origin of birthday cakes. B. The significance of birthday cakes.‎ ‎ C. The history of birthday parties. D. The introduction of cake production.‎ ‎29. Who established the tradition of celebrating birthdays with cakes according to the passage?‎ ‎ A. Germans. B. Pharaohs. C. Ancient Greeks. D. Ancient Egyptians.‎ ‎30. The underlined word “torture” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to ________.‎ ‎ A. pleasure B. replacement C. sharing D. suffering ‎31. Why was the birthday cake custom unpopular before the Industrial Revolution?‎ ‎ A. The transport was inconvenient. B. The ingredients of cakes were expensive.‎ ‎ C. The cake could not be eaten before dinner. D. The bakeries would not sell pre-baked cakes.‎ D When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, “Well, it’s so-and-so’s fault” or “I know I’m late, but it’s not my fault; the car broke down.” It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.‎ Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly, or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for when in need.For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.‎ This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is,” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.‎ ‎32.According to the passage, winners_______.‎ A. deal with problems rather than blame others B. meet with fewer difficulties in their lives ‎ C. have responsible and able colleagues D. blame themselves rather than others ‎33.The underline word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ____‎ A. avoid B accept C. improve D. consider ‎34.When problems occur, winners take them as_________‎ A. excuses for their failures B. barriers to greater power ‎ C. challenges to their colleagues D. chances for self-development ‎35. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?‎ A. Winner's Secret. B. A Winner's Problem.‎ C. A Winner's Opportunity. D. A Winner's Achievement.‎ 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 are out of work. You hate your job. 36 You are looking for your first job. Where do you start?‎ If you are like most Americans, you’ll probably email your resume to a lot of companies. You might search for job postings on the Internet. But experts say you won’t have much luck.‎ One thing you can do is read Richard Bolles’s What Color Is Your Parachute? This book is different from other job-hunting manuals. Bolles helps you find your ideal job: a job that fits you, a job that makes you happy. What kind of job is ideal for you? You need to have a clear picture in your mind of the job you want. 37 Bolles says that you must think about three things before you can find your ideal job:‎ 1. Your skills. What do you like to do? What do you do well? Are you good at talking to groups? Growing vegetables? Teaching? Drawing on the computer? 38 For example, amother of four children is probably good at managing people (children!). This woman may be a good manager.‎ ‎2. 39 Where do you like to work? Do you like to work outside? At home? In an office? Alone or with others? What kinds of people do you like to work with?‎ ‎3. Job rewards. How much money do you need? How much money do you want? Do you need a lot of vacation time? 40 What makes you feel good about a job?‎ So, if you are looking for a job or if you have a job but want a new one, remember: Don’t just email your resume out to every company. Don’t just answer Internet job postings. And don’t wait for friends to give you a job.‎ A. Job description.‎ B. Job setting.‎ C. You aren’t satisfied with your career.‎ D. What else do you want from a job?‎ E. The book was first written in 1970.‎ F. Bolles asks you to think about all your skills.‎ G. The book has many exercises to help you draw this picture.‎ 第三部分 完形填空 （共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）‎ 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ When I was a little girl, there was the magic of Mercurochrome (红药水).

In my opinion, there are several obstacles that have caused this to happen. The main obstacle is fear! Another is the habit of mentally translating from Chinese to English and then to change these thoughts into spoken words and sentences. Many of these difficulties are caused by the way Chinese people study and learn the language.‎ We must learn to speak as a child does. When we are learning a second language we need to remember how we learned our native language. Learning to understand and speak a language is one of the first skills a child develops. How does a child learn the language? He listens for a time and then he tries to repeat the words. Parents give great praise for the smallest effort and slightest improvement. Therefore, the child develops courage and is excited about learning. It takes a long time before he knows anything about grammar, spelling or formal sentence structures.‎ As for language teachers, they should avoid criticism and be very encouraging and generous with praise. Criticism or pointing out faults too often causes students to lose self-confidence and develop a fear of speaking, The best way to motivate a student is using praise.‎ The most important aspect of speaking is having good self-esteem. Self-esteem is how you feel about yourself. When most Chinese people are asked how their English is, or they are told their English is very good, they immediately respond by saying, “Oh my English is very poor.” If you say this to yourself often enough, you will believe it. When someone compliments(称赞)you, just say “thank you”.‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ 答案：‎ 第一部分 听力（共20小题:每小题1.5分, 满分30分）‎ ‎1-5 CBCBC 6-10 CABAB 11-15 BABCA 16-20 CBCAA 第二部分 阅读 （共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）‎ A: 21-23 DDC B：24-27 DCBD C：28-31ACDB D：32-35ACDA 七选五：36-40 CGFBD 第三部分 完形填空 （共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）‎ ‎41-45DBDAC 46-50BDABB 51-55DACBC 56-60CCDCD 第四部分 语言知识运用 ‎ 第一节 单词拼写(共10题；每空一词, 每小题1分，满分10)‎ ‎61. behaviours 62. comment 63. considerate 64. dormitory 65. various ‎66. emergencies 67. admission 68. spoken 69. explanation 70. tourism 第二节 语法填空(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) ‎ ‎71. older 72. took73.

Thank you for coming. We’ll let you know the result as soon as possible. Text 10  Welcome to the Sea‎ Life ‎Center. This is a really exciting place. There are so many things to see here. It costs $3.70 for grown-ups, 17 $2 for children and only $1.50 for people who are over sixty and school groups. 18If you are in a group of six or more people, we can give you a special guided tour of the center. 19But you need to talk with someone at the information desk when you arrive. The latest attraction is a big glass tunnel you can walk through. It is right in the middle of the center. All around you, you will see fish swimming — sometimes even over your head. You certainly have the clearest view of the undersea world. 20When you get hungry, there is a relaxed family dining room in the northern part of the center serving food. That’s all. For more information, please phone 017-5642. We hope you enjoy your time here. Thank you.‎
