Forexample, he would hit me in the head, call me ugly and stupid, make fun of me and-threaten to hitmeof courseharder if I ever fought back.It was like his daily task.And it was my daily task to just get through the day. What can I say? It made my world very small because that was my main focus -just surviving. Everything else fell by the wayside. Unluckily, that included any form of social life. So not only was my world tiny, it was lonely.Looking back to that time -which was about 11 years ago -my biggest mistake was not bringing anyone in to that world of mine. I was too proud, and embarrassed( 尴尬的 ), to get help. I would rather not face the fact that Ineeded help because in my mind, that would mean that the bully won. It would also mean that the bully won. It would also mean that I was weak.Let me just say this -bullying someone is a weak choice. The only reason they come after you is because they think you won t do anything about it. Does that make anyone strong?No. Be stronger -reach out to a parent, a teacher or a friend. Admit( 承认 ) you need help.You can put it like this: Somebody who is trying to make himself or herself seem important has bullied me.Why? Simply because I am nice and I haven t done anything about it yet. Well, I hate this. I have basic humanrights. It is just not OK. How do I manage this the right way? I don t want the pain cycle to continue awant to become someone I don t want to be.I will close by saying this-I am OK! I am not just surviving. I am enjoying my life. I graduated from collegewith good grades, by the way(being stupid was a lie it is all a lie). You don t have to wait to live.today.29. The underlined word“ it ” in the first paragraph指refers) to(.A. getting along with the writerB. having a difficult time at schoolC. making friends with other studentsD. hurting the writer with force and threat30. The writer suggests _ to fight bullies.A. getting used to the pain as soon as possibleB. looking for help from parents, teachers and friendsC. increasing the understanding of basic human rightsD. keeping it a secret inside and reducing your social life31. The writer writes the passage mainly to _.A. share his thoughts on dealing with bulliesB. say that he regrets being hurt badly at schoolC. describe how he changed his weak personalityD. show how thankful he was to those who helped himDImagine you are walking through the woods and you see a small dog. It looks cute and friendly. You move upto pet the dog. Suddenly it barks and tries to bite you. The dog no longer seems cute and you feel afraid andpossibly angry. Then, as the wind blows, the leaves on the ground are carried away and you see the dog has one of3its legs caught in a trap. Now, you take pity on the dog. You know it becomes unfriendly because it is in pain.We all judge( 评判 ) others all the time. It might be over small things, like a workmate who takes too long of alunch break. Or it might be over bigger matters, such as a person who behaves selfishly or hurts our feelings. There are many reasons why we judge others. It is human nature to find a way to survive. When we see a dog(or a person) that might bite us, of course we feel threatened( 威胁 ). We become nervous, want to fight back and areunable to see the possible reasons for another s behavior.Although judgment is a natural reaction(反应 ), try to catch yourself before you speak, for you can twords back. Make a short stop. Try to change your thought into a positive(正面的 ) one. After all, like that dog inthe trap, we really don t know the reasons for someone s behavior.When someone disagrees with us or somehow makes our life difficult, remember that it s usualus. It may be about their pain or struggle(挣扎 ). Why not give others the right to express their doubt?“Neverunderestimatethe pain of a person, ”Will Smith said, “ becausein all honesty, everyone is struggling. Somepeople are better at hiding it than others”32.

Never think others pain is bigger than it really is.D. Never think others pain is smaller than it really is.35. What is the best title of the passage?A. The Best Way to JudgeB. Too Late to JudgeC. Think Twice Before You JudgeD. You ve Got a Reason to Judge四、任务型阅读British people pride themselves on their polite manners towards one another in public. They often use theword sorryeven whenthey don reallyt mean it! Usually, if they want to ask a stranger for the time, theywouldstart by saying Sorryto bother you. Do you knowwhat timeit is? If they refive minutes late for anappointment ( 约会 ), they would generally greet the person by saying Sorry I m late!They use the word sorry in so many different situations that the meaning of the word has changed a littleover time. The two main dictionary definitions (释义 ) of sorry are: 1) feeling sad for someone else because oftheir problems or bad luck; 2)feeling regret because you vedone something wrong. Now,think about this.Normally, when they want to ask a stranger a question, they start with Sorry to bother you .aren t saying sorry because they feel sad for that person or because they feel regret.So what does sorry really mean? And why do British people use it so much? Well, in the British culture,saying sorry is a way to be polite, especially to people who they don t know very well. Itway to get what they want. In a recent experiment, an actor went up to a different strangers on a rainy day to ask ifhe could use their mobile phones in order to make a call. When he went up to one group of strangers and askedthem without saying sorry first, he was only 9 per cent successful in borrowing their phones. However, when hesaid sorry to another group of strangers about the bad weather before asking if he could use their mobile phones,he was 47 per cent successful. So maybe saying sorry is not just being polite, but it is also a good method towhat they want too!Title: Why do British people say sorry?Main pointsDetailed informationThe _36_ in which they say sorryasking for the timeBeing late for an appointmentThe change of the meaning of sorryThe two main dictionary definitions of sorry;feeling sad for others problems or bad luckfeeling regret because of one s own _37_When British people ask a stranger a questionby startingwith sorry , they are saying sorry _38_ because they feel sad for that person nor because they feel regret.4The _39_ meaning of sorry a way to be politea good way to get what they wantThe resultofan experimentshowsit easier forone to_40_ in borrowing a mobile phone by saying sorry.36. _37. _38. _39. _40. _五、词汇：A) 根据句子意思，用括号中所给词的正确形式填空，每空填一词。55.
