Thanksgiving was only a couple days away. My money was 17 and I knew I had to be creative in my shopping that day.For a few seconds, Roy sat 18 on the other end of the line. The nervousness gradually increased under the wordlessness, which I couldnt wait to break through. “Why do you ask?” I whispered, 19 what he might say.“Nancy, theres a family with six kids that will not have anything to 20 for Thanksgiving. The little one is only five years old.

What about the flu? With winter viruses going around, its important to know how to alter your training if you do catch a germ or two.“The guidelines are pretty easy,” says Dr Lorenzo Masci from the Alphington Sports Medicine Clinic. “Anything above the neck - so if youve got a cold for example, a runny nose or a sore throat - then you should probably cut down your exercise by half and do 50 percent of what you normally do.”“If youve got anything below the neck, like muscle pain, joint pain or fever, you shouldnt really exercise at all until those general symptoms settle down,” Lorenzo says. He points out that a cough would also fall into this more serious category. “For example, if anyone comes in with a fever and a runny nose, Id tell them to stop exercising until the fever and the muscle ache settles. Then they can start their training again at 50 percent once all those symptoms settle, even if theyve got a bit of a runny nose or a sore throat.”“The reason we tell people to stop exercising is because if you exercise when youre unwell it can make the illness worse and prolong it.” There is a second reason Lorenzo advises his patients to stop exercising when they have “below the neck” symptoms. In the event you have an illness which affects your heart, exercise can sometimes actually lead to death.Lorenzo advises to take zinc (锌) and vitamin C as a way of preventing colds. But he admits that this is controversial - some studies have shown that these supplements can improve immune function while other studies have cast doubt on the issue. The good news is that if you exercise regularly, youre likely to improve your immune function. “If you exercise too much, it can predispose (使倾向于) you to coughs and sniffles,” he points out. This is often the case for excellent athletes who train every day, such as triathletes (铁人三项运动员). “But what we do know is that if you exercise at a moderate level, your immune system improves such that youre probably at a lower risk of developing coughs and colds.”41How many guidelines does Dr Lorenzo mainly suggest on doing exercises when people catch a cold?AOne.BTwo.CThree.DFour.42How should people do exercises with a fever or a cough?AThey should probably reduce their training time by 50%.BThey should stop exercising until they recover.CThey should start exercising at 50% after their runny nose settles.DThey should do half of what they normally do.43What is the worst result if people dont stop exercising when they are unwell?AWorsening the illness.BProlonging the illness.CAffecting the heart.DBringing about threat to life.44What can be proved from the last paragraph?AZinc and Vitamin C can help to prevent colds.BThe more exercises we do, the stronger our immune function will be.CDoing exercises regularly can help us prevent colds.DExcellent athletes seldom get coughs or sniffles.45What is this passage mainly about?ARelationship between exercises and flu.BHow to do exercises.CHow to cope with flu.DWhen to do exercises.CWhen it came to role models, Diana Ortiz said her mother, Marcia Dominguez, was the “hero”. Ms. Dominguez came to the United States from Cuba in 1979. She went to college and got a job as a social worker - all the while raising three children in America mostly on her own.“It was always school first,” Diana said, “My mom had us in a straight line. If we got out of line, she corrected us. She was a perfect woman. She was beautiful, she had the education and she had everything - but the illness took over. When I was 11, it frightened me to see how quickly my mothers health was ruined by cancer. A week before I turned 14, my mother died at age 50. I had tried to prepare myself, but on the first morning I woke up without my mother, the sense of loss was painful.”Diana had not seen her father for five years, who refused to provide for her. Diana then entered the citys foster care system. She has spent about four years in foster homes.Despite Dianas hard teenage years, the values her mother had planted in her mind inspired her to go after higher education. Since August 2010, she has been a fulltime student majoring in law. A public organization offers her tuition but she has part-time jobs to help people like her and earn more life experience. Her goal is a job in the Federal Bureau of Investigation.For now, Diana works 20 hours a week as a cashier at Marshalls, earning $7.25 an hour. In November, she moved into her own public housing studio apartment on the Lower East Side. She pays $236 a month in rent. Although she is out of foster care, Diana has been speaking at workshops for foster youths. She emphasizes that nothing should get in the way of their success, not the trials of their lives or what they may have lost.“I tell the young who have the similar experience like me, Why are you going to let what happened to you affect you in the long run? ” Diana said. “ Why are you going to sit there and feel sorry for yourself? Youre wasting precious time. It is a message my mother would approve of. My mom taught me that everything is not given to you. You have to go out and get it.”46Which of the following words can be used to describe Ms. Dominguez?ALearned, independent and strict.BPositive, simple and graceful.CHardworking, dependent and tough.DKind, determined and lonely.47What did Ms. Dominguez find most important for her children?AStaying in a straight line for coherence.BMaking punctual self-correction.CStruggling to run after perfection.DReceiving excellent education.48How did Diana grow up after her mother passed away?AShe was provided for by a law institute.BShe depended on foster care system.CShe relied upon the people like her.DShe supported herself by doing part-time work.49What made Diana go on with her education despite there are so many difficulties?AThe sense of loss from her mothers death.BThe eagerness to achieve success.CThe deep influence of her mothers values.DThe wish to win prizes to please her mother.50With provided tuition, Diana still works after school because she knows _.Asuccess comes with her own struggle and effortsBrich experience helps her find better jobsCher tuition will be increased sharplyDnobody is perfect in the worldDIve just got to talk about this problem Im having with my postman. It all began a year ago, after the birth of his first child. Not wanting to appear rude, I asked him about the baby. The next week, not wanting him to think I had asked out of mere politeness the week before, I asked all about the baby again. Now I cant break the habit. I freeze whenever I see him coming. The words “Hows the baby?” come out on their own. It holds me up. It holds him up. So why cant I stop it? The answer is that I want him to like me. Come to think of it, I want everyone to like me.My sister had the same problem with the caretaker of her block of flats: “All he ever does is complain; he talks at me rather than to me, never listens to a word I say, and yet for some reason Im always really nice to him. Im worried in case I have a difficulty one day, and he wont lift a finger to help.”What about at work? Richard Lawton, a management trainer, warns: “Those managers who are actually liked by most of their staff are always those to whom being liked is not the primary goal. The qualities that make managers popular are being honest with staff, treating them as human beings and observing common politeness like saying hello in the morning.” To explain the point, Richard mentions the story of the company chairman who desperately wanted to be liked and who, after making one of his managers fired, said with moist (湿润的) eyes that he was so, so sorry the man was leaving. The employee replied: “If you were that sorry, I wouldnt be leaving.” The lesson being, therefore, that if you try too hard to be liked, people wont like you.The experts say it all starts in childhood. “If children feel they can only get love from their parents by being good,” says Zelda West-Meads, a marriage guidance consultant, “they develop low self-confidence and become compulsive givers.” But is there anything wrong in being a giver, the world not being exactly short of takers? Anne Cousins believes there is. “There is a point at which giving becomes unhealthy,” she says. “It comes when you do things for others but feel bad about it.”I am now trying hard to say to people “I feel uncomfortable about saying this, but” and tell myself “Refusal of a request does not mean rejection of a person” and I find I can say almost anything to almost anyone.51Why does the author ask the postman about his baby?AHe is interested in the baby.BHe wants to create a good impression.CHe wants to be always polite to him.DIts a way to start a chat with great politeness.52What could we find out about the authors sister and the caretaker?AShe doesnt want to risk displeasing him.BShe doesnt pay attention to him.CHe often refuses to help her.DHe is impatient of her overreaction.53Managers are more likely to be popular if they _.Ahelp the staff with their problemsBmake sure the staff do not lose their jobsCencourage the staff to be polite to each otherDdo not make too much effort to be liked54The underlined words, “compulsive givers”, in the fourth paragraph refer to the people who _.Aare willing to help othersBcouldnt bear to turn down requestsCare unconfident of denying demandsDare less selfish than takers55What is the authors intention of writing this passage?ATo show how to let others like you more.BTo prove how to create a harmonious atmosphere.CTo encourage people to have more self-confidence.DTo suggest ways of dealing with difficult people.第卷 非选择题（共35分）注意事项：1.请用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卷上。2.本卷共6小题，满分35分。第三部分 写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。The high school grades of Tom Monaghan, who was born in 1937, were so low that he graduated at the bottom of his class. The local university turned down his application, but he managed to enter the University of Michigan. A few weeks later, he dropped out because he lacked money for school fees. In 1960, Monaghan agreed to buy a pizza store with his brother, who gave up a year later.For the first year, Monaghan worked all the time but hardly made any money. He soon found himself deep in debt. He began making the business simpler, selling only three sizes of pizza, instead of five. This change helped Monaghan make a profit, which allowed him to expand his three stores under a new name, Dominos.However, during the following years Monaghan experienced a series of setbacks. In 1967, a fire destroyed his store in Ypsilanti, Michigan, which served as the companys offices. Most of the damage was not covered by insurance. In an effort to recover his losses, Monaghan continued to expand his franchise, but was unable to keep up with the growth. Without Monaghans guidance, many of the new stores closed down. By 1970, Monaghan was $1.5 million in debt and facing lawsuits from nearly 150 debtors. In the following financial settlem
