Week by week her list grew: I was very thin; I wasnt a good student; I talked too much; I was too proud and so on. I tried to bear all these things as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes. He listened to me quietly, then he asked, “Are the things she said true or not? Janet, didnt you ever wonder what you are really like? Well, you now have the girls opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said, mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to other things she said.” I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half of the things were true. Some of them I couldnt change (like being very thin), but a good number I could and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I got a fairly clear picture of myself. I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it, “Thats just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just closing your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something that is said about you is true, youll find it will be of help to you. Dont shut your ears. Listen to other peoples opinions, but hear the truth and do what you think is right.” Daddys advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, Ive never had a better piece of advice. 24. The underlined sentence “Week by week her list grew” means “_”. A. Week by Week, my shortcomings grew more seriousB.

He criticized her and told her to overcome her shortcomings.C. He told her to list what her enemy had said and pay attention to the true points. D. He refused to take the list and have a look at it. 27. Which do you think would be the best title for this passage? A. Not an Enemy, but a Best Friend B. My FatherC. The Best Advice Ive Ever Had D. My Childhood CI still remember my first day at school in London and I was half-excited and half-frightened. On my way to school I wondered what sort of questions the other boys would ask me and practiced all the answers: “I am nine years old. I was born here but I havent lived here since I was two. I was living in Farley. Its about thirty miles away. I came back to London two months ago.” I also wondered if it was the custom for boys to fight strangers like me, but I was tall for my age. I hoped they would decide not to risk it.No one took any notice of me before school. I stood in the center of the playground, expecting someone to say “hello”, but no one spoke to me. When a teacher called my name and told me where my classroom was, one or two boys looked at me but that was all.My teacher was called Mr. Jones. There were 42 boys in the class, so I didnt stand out there, either, until the first lesson of the afternoon. Mr. Jones was very fond of Charles Dickens and he had decided to read aloud to us from David Copperfield, but first he asked several boys if they knew Dickens birthplace, but no one guessed right. A boy called Brian, the biggest in the class, said: “Timbuktu”, and Mr. Jones went red in the face. Then he asked me. I said: “Portsmouth”, and everyone stared at me because Mr. Jones said I was right. This didnt make me very popular, of course. “He thinks hes clever.” I heard Brian say.After that, we went out to the playground to play football. I was in Brians team, and he obviously had Dickens in mind because he told me to go in goal. No one ever wanted to be the goalkeeper. “Hes big enough and useless enough.” Brian said when someone asked him why he had chosen me.I suppose Mr. Jones, who served as the judge, remembered Dickens, too, because when the game was nearly over, Brian pushed one of the players on the other team, and he gave them a penalty (惩罚). As the boy kicked the ball to my right, I threw myself down instinctively (本能地) and saved it. All my team crowded round me. My bare knees were injured and bleeding. Brian took out a handkerchief and offered it to me. “Do you want to join my gang (帮派)?” he said.At the end of the day, I was no longer a stranger.28The writer prepared to answer all of the following questions EXCEPT “_”.A. How old are you? B. Where are you from?C. Do you want to join my gang?D. When did you come back to London?29We can learn from the passage that _ .A. boys were usually unfriendly to new studentsB. the writer was not greeted as he expectedC. Brian praised the writer for his clevernessD. the writer was glad to be a goalkeeper30The underlined part “I didnt stand out” in paragraph 3 means that the writer was not _.A. noticeableB. welcomeC. importantD. foolish31. The writer was offered a handkerchief because _ .A. he threw himself down and saved the goal B. he pushed a player on the other teamC. he was beginning to be acceptedD. he was no longer a newcomerDThe airline lost your baggage. The hotel laundry(洗衣房) ruined your favorite shirt. The taxi driver overcharged you. When youre abroad, sometimes things go wrong. Now you can do something about it! Use these tips when you want to express an effective complaint in English.No matter how unfair the situation, its best to phrase your complaint politely. In English, youll sound more polite if you use indirect language. Here are some examples:“Im sorry to bother you.” Starting a complaint like this puts the listener who may have heard many complaints that day at ease. Use this phrase if the situation isnt that serious. For example, Im sorry to bother you, but I wanted a baked potato, not fries.“Can you help me with this?” Everyone would much rather be asked to do something than told! So try phrasing your complaint as a request for help: Can you help me with this? My shirt came back from the laundry without buttons.“Im afraid there may be a misunderstanding.” This is a polite way of saying, Your information is wrong. Please fix it now. Youll most likely use this phrase if you made reservations(预定) for a flight, hotel or restaurant, and when you arrive, its not what you expected. For example, Im afraid there may be a misunderstanding. I requested a non-smoking room.“I understand its not your fault.” Often when you make a complaint, you deal with a person who was not directly responsible for the problem. But the problem isnt your fault, either! This phrase is helpful when you need swift action. Tell the person youre dealing with you understand theyre not at fault and then directly state the problem: I understand its not your fault, but the airline promised they would deliver my baggage yesterday.“Excuse me, but I understood that.” Using this phrase lets the person know youre well-informed and doubt they might be trying to take advantage of you. Dont say, Hey! Youre trying to cheat me! Instead, start indirectly by stating what you know to be true: I understood that the taxi ride to the airport was only 25 dollars. Then give them an opportunity to do the right thing.32. Whats the purpose of this passage?A. To give an introduction of life abroad.B. To give suggestions on how to learn English.C. To offer advice on giving complaints in English.D. To offer guides to those who travel around the world.33. According to the passage, if we meet an unfair situation, wed better .A. state our complaints politely B. go for the police immediately C. use indirect language to hurt peopleD. fight against the one who is responsible34. Why should we start a complaint with polite phrases?A. Because the situation is never serious.B. Because the listener may not speak English.C. Because it can help solve the problem more easily.D. Because we should be always in good manners abroad.35. Several effective complaints in English are mentioned above EXCEPT .A. “Can you help me with this?”B. “I understand its not your fault.”C. “Hey! Youre trying to cheat me!”D. “Im afraid there may be a misunderstanding.”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。Everyone knows that fish is good for health. 36 But it seems that many people dont cook fish at home. Americans eat only about fifteen pounds of fish per person per year, but we eat twice as much fish in restaurants as at home. Buying, storing, and cooking fish isnt difficult. 37 This text is about how to buy and cook fish in an easy way. 38 Fresh fish should smell sweet: you should feel that youre standing at the oceans edge. Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isnt fresh. 39 When you have bought a fish and arrive home, youd better store the fish in the refrigerator if you dont cook it immediately, but fresh fish should be stored in your fridge for only a day or two. Frozen fish isnt as tasty as the fresh one.Therearemanycommonmethodsusedtocookfish. 40 First, cleanitandseason itwithyour choiceof spices(调料).
