As my colleague, Ricky, and I were making our way to a coffee shop, I noticed an old gentleman rather poorly dressed sitting on a bench nearby. Obviously he was frozen, seemingly one of the homeless or someone like that.We joined the line and waited to be served. Ricky handed the server a twenty-dollar bill, ordered three cups of hot coffee, and gestured the sever to give one to the old gentleman outside on the bench as a favour. The server looked at Ricky, a little perplexed, without full comprehension of the request. Afterwards, there was a wonderful exchange between the server and the old man in need of some attention. I only wish I had taken a photo of the smiles on the both faces.As I was thinking about this event later on, I wondered to myself why Ricky didnt perform this act of kindness himself. I suspect that deep down in his heart he was hoping that this act of kindness might inspire others to do something for this older man as well. Absolutely beautiful!There are many ways of thinking when we met someone as the old man in need of kindness and attention. Perhaps he needs a little helping hand and thank God for my colleague who inspired the others to goodness as well. Oh, by the way, the last words Ricky told the server was, “There go I, but for the Grace of God.” 31. What was the authors impression of the old gentleman?A. He was a greedy man.B. He took on a sign of poor manners.C. He was in poor health.D. He needed some kind of human care.32. The underlined word “perplexed” in the 1st paragraph probably means “_”.A. annoyedB. confusedC. embarrassedD. determined33. Why didnt Ricky give the favour to the old gentleman himself?A. He didnt know the old gentleman.B. He was too shy to speak to strangers. C. He tried to influence others to be kind.D. He feared the old man would refuse his help.34. What the author really thinks absolutely beautiful is that _.A. an act of kindness could go widespreadB. a cup of coffee could warm the old manC. the server was very kind to customersD. Ricky had created good impressionsBDear Parent,I have experience with parents who are over protective, always wanting to know every step that their child makes no matter where they are.I know a parent who drove her kid almost mad with how protective she was. The parent would not let her child do anything without her. She would always want to be with her child no matter what he was doing. If the child wanted to stay the night at a friends house, she would say no. And now her child gets more annoyed with his parent than anything else. It is tough having an over-protective parent.But being a protective parent can be a good thing. Wanting to know where your kids are is just an instinct, something that comes by nature. But it becomes over protective when someones parent is calling him or her 20 times a day just to see what he or she is doing. Parents like this arent really like parents. They are more like prison guards with their child being the prisoner.Having a prison guard for a child is a torture. The only thing the child can do is sit at home. Parents like this wont let their children do anything. They sometimes allow them to go out with friends. But they have to be with them on dates and will not even let them out of their sight. With parents like this, it makes the kids feel like they have to escape just to have their own life outside of their parents.Wanting to protect a child is just something that comes with the job of being a parent, but being so protective to the point that you would put a tracking chip(芯片) in your child is horrible. Sincerely, Over-protected child35.In the first two paragraphs, the author tries to _.A. tell parents to stop their practices of over controlB. make parents see if it is good to over control kidsC. tell his/her personal stories of being overprotectedD. show parents what it is like to be overprotected36.If a parent keeps track of the child by calling one or two times, it can be seen as _.A. overprotectiveB. considerateC. unconcerned D. unreasonable37.When a child has a torture from parental overprotection, he or she probably _.A. mentally and physically suffersB. drops out of schoolC. academically and morally failsD. ends up in prison38.Whats the main message for parents in this letter?A. Being overprotective is good for their children.B. Children should not be allowed to go out on their own. C. Children dont want to be watched all the time.D. Parents should leave their children completely alone.CIf you have a private car, there may be opportunities to do more than just drive around where you live. You need to work out the details for a long trip. Anywhere you go, your end goal is to arrive safely and in good time at your destination. You might be very annoyed if your car breaks down or you experience some emergency, particularly if it could have been prevented. So if you want to have a smooth trip, these tips can be helpful.Firstly, it is best to guarantee that your car is running properly and doesnt require any general maintenance (维修). Be certain to set up any needed service in advance so it can be completed before your trip. It is additionally important to have what you may need if you meet car trouble along the way. For example, will you remember to check the air pressure in your spare tire when you check the four tires currently on your vehicle? It should be adequately inflated (鼓起的) so you could drive on it if something happens to one of the other tires. If you need to fix your car during the trip, you should have the right equipment with you and be able to use it. There are of course other mechanical problems that you simply dont know how to deal with. It might be wise to have contact information for towing (拖车) services and roadside assistance readily available in case of emergency. For a family trip, be equipped for unexpected interruptions. When you have kids, it is essential to have things available for them to do as well as food and drink. Remember to have everything packed, also including a first aid bag in case of any minor injuries or sickness. In cold weather, you should have extras like blankets to keep you warm if you get stuck.39.Why do you have to get adequately prepared for your long car trip?A. To avoid breaking traffic laws.B. To make the travel trouble-free.C. To reduce the cost on the trip.D. To behave normally as drivers.40.Before starting the trip, you must make sure _.A. your car is in perfect conditionB. your car needs general maintenanceC. you have long trip driving experienceD. your passengers listen to you41.When you cant manage a self-service for your car, youd best _.A. borrow convenient equipmentB. review the service documentsC. inform the insurance companyD. seek nearest roadside assistance42.From the last two paragraphs we can infer that _.A. youve got to learn how to fix a car before starting a long tripB. most long distance trips are dangerous in one way or anotherC. children need more than just food and drink for a long trip D. it is not a good idea to take kids with you on a long tripDFor some reason we are reminded that we primates (灵长目动物) need love. Kim Bard and her colleagues carried out a study on 46 chimpanzee (大猩猩) orphans, which had lost their mothers. The study showed that primate babies that had tight relationships with mother figures did much better on cognitive (认知) tests than babies who only grew up with fellows, but this is not breaking news. In fact, its old news.In the 1950s, Harry Harlow did a series of experiments with baby monkeys, which showed that lack of love and comfort would make for a crazy monkey. Harlow made a cage that included a wire monkey “mother” with a plastic face. Then he equipped the “mother” with a milk bottle. The cage also had another wire “mother” who was covered with soft cloth. The baby monkeys spent all their time with the cloth “mother” and only went to the wire “mother” to feed.Harlows monkey experiment was important because, at the time, childcare experts, and everybodys grandmother had a “no touch, no comfort” policy toward children. They advised parents not to respond to crying babies. They thought that babies should sleep alone to become independent. But Harlows work changed that policy. Mothers were soon allowed to have their babies next to them in the hospital.The current chimpanzees research based on Harlows work shows that mothers love doesnt just make for a psychologically (心理) healthy child, it also makes for a smart child. The highly raised chimpanzees do better than those that are not loved, and the well-raised chimpanzees do even better than human kids on IQ tests.We are social animals which need love. We need to be held and talked to and made to feel that at least one person wants to be with us all the time.43.Through the study, Kim Bard concluded that _.A. lack of mother love affects a childs mental growthB. mother love improves a childs physical developmentC. chimpanzees do better than monkeys in IQ testsD. mother love helps raise a more independent child44.In Harlows experiment, the baby monkeys _.A. stay more often with the wire “mother” with milkB. are emotionally attached to the clothed wire “mother”C. refuse to take the two wire “mothers” as real mothersD. respond in the same way to both wire “mothers”45.What shows Harlows experiment changed the childcare policy?A. Babies separation form mothers.B. A “no touch, no comfort” policy.C. Babies stayed with their mothers.D. Grandmothers replaced mothers.46.The current research on chimpanzees further proved that mother love _.A. is not needed by everybody B. contributes to overweightC. prevents independenceD. helps babies in more than one wayEYou have to read “between the lines” to get the most out of anything. I mean you need to “write between the lines.” Marking up a book is an act of love. You shouldnt mark up a book which isnt yours. Librarians or your friends who lend you books expect you to keep them clean, and you should. If you decide that I am right about the usefulness of marking books, you will have to buy them. Most of the worlds great books are available today, in reprint editions, at less than a dollar.There are two ways one can own a book. The first is the property right you establish by paying for it, just as you pay for clothes and furniture. But this act of purchase is only the first step to possession. Full ownership comes only when you have made it a part of yourself, and the best way to make yourself a part of it is by writing in it. An example may make the point clear. You buy a beefsteak and get it from the butchers ice-box to your own. But you do not own the beefsteak in the most important sense until you eat it and get it into your blood. I am arguing that books, too, must be absorbed in your blood to do you any good.Confusion about what it means to own a book leads people to a false respect for paper, cover, and type a respect for the physical thing the art of the printer rather than the wisdom of the author. They forget that it is possible for a man to get the idea, to possess the beauty, which a great book contains, without signing his name on the cover. Having a fine library doesnt prove that its owner has a mind enriched by books; it proves nothing more than that he, his father, or his wife, was rich enough to buy them.47.In the beginning, the author advises readers to _.A. borrow a bookB. purchase a bookC. keep clean a book D. write in a book48.According to the author, real ownership of a book comes to you when you have_.A. paid for it B. signed your name on itC. really learned from it D. borrowed it from a friend49.Marking up a book is a sign that _.A. you understand it and have it do good to youB. you have its ownership and the right to mark itC. you dont have the habit to keep it cleanD. you arent aware of the writers wisdom50.What does the author discuss in the last paragraph?A. The process of printing a book.B. The meaning of owning a book.C. The wisdom of writing a book.D. The value of buying a book.第二节 根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项多余选项。（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）M: Good evening, Lily. Welcome to our talk show.W: Good evening, Mr. Smith.

Sitting by the fire and telling stories of distant countries was Morris:Its hard enough to win in an interview even in the best of circumstances. But when you cant afford to buy proper clothing for the interview, it becomes next to impossible.Thats where Dress for Success comes in. The organization, which is not for profit, helps low-income women prepare for job interviews. A customer that is referred to Dress for Success is given two suits for free. After she finds a job, she can join a support group that will help her to network and get advice about the workplace.Viola, a customer, had this to say: “Volunteers helped me to pick out a suit that I loved and then I was coached for my interview.
