They show confidence in the way they talk, the way they smile, the way they dress and the way they walk. Living and competing with all these confident American students, I find it extremely important to be confident as an international student and a foreign instructor. As a student, being confident means you should never hesitate to raise your hand whenever a question or a point comes to your mind. Don’t mind if it sounds simple or silly. Otherwise you will never get a chance to speak in class at all. What’s worse, the professors may think you are not prepared for the discussion or you do not have your own opinion on the issue — this is the last comment any graduate would like to receive.‎ Being confident for me as a foreign instructor means calmly asking the student to repeat what he or she has said if I did not get it. Pretending to understand what you actually do not may just bring yourself embarrassment or even disgrace. But the time I most need to be confident is ‎ when my students come to my office and bargain about the grades I have given for their speeches (The course I’m teaching here is Public Speaking). Modesty is a trait highly valued in China, but it won’t be of much help here if you want to survive and succeed in a good American graduate program.‎ ‎21. To compete with American students it’s very important to .‎ A. be quite confident B. be polite and friendly C. have more discussions with them D. understand what they think about ‎22. A professor will have the worst opinion of a student who .‎ A. gives a silly or simple answer B. tries to seize any chance to speak in class C. shows no interest in the course D. is considered to have no opinion of his own ‎23. The author is most likely to feel embarrassed if .‎ A. he asks a student to repeat what he has said B. the students bargain with him C. he pretends to know what he doesn’t D. he has to give a speech ‎24. The passage is mainly developed by .‎ A. providing examples B. making comparisons C. giving different figures D. telling personal experiences B If Confucius (孔子) were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.‎ While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even ‎ remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.‎ But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.‎ In the past two decades, the Chinese study programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy(哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.‎ So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well. ‎ Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.‎ As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.‎ ‎25. The opening paragraph is mainly intended to .‎ A. attract the readers’ interest in the subject 、‎ B. provide some key facts about Confucius C. show great respect for the ancient thinker D. prove the popularity of modem birthday celebrations ‎26. We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students .‎ A. have a great interest in studying Chinese B. take an active part in Chinese competitions C. try to get high scores in Chinese exams D. fight for a chance to learn Chinese ‎27. What is the best title for the passage?‎ A. Huge Fans of the Chinese Language B. Chinese Culture for Westerners C. Old Thinker with a Big Future D. Forgotten Wisdom in ‎America C When we can see well, we do not think about our eyes often. It is only when we can not see perfectly that we come to see how important our eyes are.‎ People who are nearsighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Many people who do a lot of close work, such as writing and reading, become nearsighted. Then they have to wear glasses in order to see distant things clearly.‎ People who are farsighted face just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty rending n book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses too.‎ Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts (白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.‎ When night falls, colors become fainter to the eyes and finally disappear.‎ After your eyes have grown used to the dark, you can see better if you use the side of your eyes rather than the centers. Sometimes, after dark, you see a small thing to one side of you, which seems to disappear if you turn your head in its direction. This is because when you turn your head, you are looking at the thing too directly. Men on guard duty sometimes think they see something moving to one side of them. When they turn to look straight at it, they can not see it any more, and they believe they were mistaken. However, this mistake happens because the center of the eye, which is very sensitive in daylight, is not as sensitive as the sides of the eye after dark.‎ ‎28. We don’t know that our eyes are of great importance until .‎ A. we think about our eyes B. we cannot see clearly C. we wear glasses D. we have to do much reading ‎29. According to the passage, who is more likely to be nearsighted?‎ A. A typist. B. A sailor. C. A tourist. D. A driver.‎ ‎30. People who are farsighted .‎ A. can do a lot of close work without glasses B. can only see things that are very close to their eyes C. have difficulty reading a book if they hold it at arm’s length D. can correct their eyes by glasses ‎31. To sec a small thing at night, it is better to look .‎ A. with wide open eyes B. with half shut or narrowed eyes C. straight at it D. in a slightly different direction D There is no better way to enjoy Scottish traditions than going fishing and tasting a little bit of whisky (威士忌) at a quiet place like the Inverlochy Castle. When Queen Victoria visited the castle in 1873 she wrote in her diary, “I never saw a lovelier spot,” And she didn’t even go fishing.‎ Scotland‎ is not easily defined. In certain moments, this quiet land of lakes and grasses and mountains changes before your very eyes. When evening gently sweeps the hillside into orange light, the rivers, teeming with fish, can turn into streams of gold. As you settle down with just a fishing pole and a basket on the bank of River Orchy, near the Inverlochy Castle , any frustration (烦恼) will float away as gently as the circling water. It’s just you and purple, pink, white flowers, seeking a perfect harmony. If you are a new comer to fishing, learning the basics form a fishing guide may leave you with a lifetime’s fun. For many, fishing is more than a sport; it is an art.‎ Scotland‎ offers interesting place where you can rest after a long day’s fishing. Set against a wild mountain and hidden behind woodland, the beautiful Inverlochy Castle Hotel below the Nevis is a perfect place to see the beauty of Scotland’s mountains. Ben Nevis is the highest of all British mountains, and reaching its 1342-metre top is a challenge. But it’s not just what goes up that matters; what comes down is unique. More than 900 meters high, on the mountain’s north face, lies an all-important source of pure water. Its name comes form the Gaelic language “usquebaugh” (威士忌) or ‘"water of life”; And it is the single most important ingredient (原料) in Scotland’s best known drink: whisky.‎ ‎32. The story of Queen Victoria is to show that .‎ A. the Queen is rich in tour experience B. tasting whisky is better than going fishing C. the Castle is a good place to go in ‎Scotland D. 1873 is a special year for the Queen ‎33. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?‎ A. By following time order. B. By giving descriptions.‎ C. By analyzing causes. D. By making comparisons.‎ ‎34. What is Ben Nevis special for? ‎ A. The Inverlochy Castle Hotel. B. The beauty of its surroundings.‎ C. The water from the mountain. D. The challenge up to its top.‎ ‎35. What is the main purpose of the passage?‎ A. To show the attractions of Scotland to readers.‎ B. To introduce Scottish traditions to tourists.‎ C. To explore geographical characteristics of Scotland.‎ D. To describe the pleasures of life in Scotland.‎ 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。‎ ‎★★★★★注意：若选E，涂AB，若选F，涂AC，若选G，涂AD We are humans, and we all make mistakes. The mistakes that we make are not usually cm purpose, whether it is breaking a vase, or not completing a task. 36 . This article will provide you with ideas as to what to do once a mistake has been made.‎ Admit that you make a mistake as soon as you discover it. Delaying it longer will only make you feel worse, or may drive you toward making the wrong decision to try and cover it up.‎ ‎ 37 . Do not play the “blame game”. Most people are smart enough to realize that this is just a poor attempt to protect yourself. Perhaps you gave a task to another person and it was never completed. But is it really the entire fault of the person you gave the task to or is it partially your fault for not following up? Keep this in mind before placing the blame on someone else.‎ ‎ 38 . Maybe you broke your mother’s favorite vase, or even forgot a friend’s birthday. Just an apology can sometimes be viewed as a “quick fix”, and apologizing and asking to be forgiven gives the person opportunity to forgive you.‎ Offer some compensation (补偿) for loss, damage, or injury caused. 39 . By doing this, it ‎ may soften the blow to the person we’ve disappointed.‎ Learn from your mistakes. In the case of a job or a task, write a “to-do” list with the deadline before leaving the meeting. As for forgetting a birthday, put the birthday on an electronic calendar for next year.‎ Do better next time. 40 . We should try to understand what happened and try to make that it won’t happen again.‎ A. Take responsibility.‎ B. Never repeat your mistakes.‎ C. Apologize and ask for forgiveness.‎ D. People’s faith in us can reduce quickly.‎ E. So sometimes it is necessary to write a letter to say sorry.‎ F. But not everyone knows how to admit making a mistake.‎ G. Offer to immediately complete the late task or pay for the vase.‎ 第三部分：英语知识运用（共两小节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、和D)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。‎ Outside a big city, there was a prison.
