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 hear all this 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, and then he asked, “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didnt you ever wonder what youre really like? Well, you now have that girls opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.” I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldnt change (like being very thin), but a good number I couldand 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 close your ears in anger and feel hurt. When something said about you is true, youll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Dont shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.” Daddys advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, Ive never had a better piece of advice. 21. What did the father do after he had heard his daughters plaint? A. He refused to take the list and have a look at it. B.

He told her to write down all and pay attention only to the things that were true. 22. What does “Week by week her list grew” mean? A. Week by week she discovered and pointed out more shortings of mine. B. She kept on adding new ones to the list so it was growing longer and longer. C. I was having more and more shortings as time went on. D. Week by week, my shortings grew more serious. 23. Which do you think would be the best title for this passage? A. My Father B. My Childhood C.

In 1917 he joined the army and was posted in Alabama, where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her.His life with her was full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary: “My own happiness in the past often got such joy that I could share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary.”This Side of Paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged by its success, Fitzgerald began to devote more time to his writing. Then he continued with the novel the Beautiful and Damned (1922), a collection of short stories Tales of the Jazz Age (1922), and a play The Vegetable (1923). But his greatest success was the novel The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, which quickly brought him praise from the literary world. Yet it failed to give him the needed financial security. Then, in 1926, he published another collection of short stories All the Sad Young Men.However, Fitzgeralds problems with his wife Zelda had an effect on his writing. During the 1920s he tried to reorder his life, but failed. By 1930, his wife had her first breakdown and went to a Swiss clinic. During this period he pleted novels Tender Is the Night in 1934 and The Love of the Last Tycoon in 1940. While his wife was in hospital in the United States, he got totally addicted to (沉迷于) alcohol. Sheila Graham, his dear friend, helped him fight his alcoholism.28. How many novels written by Fitzgerald are mentioned in the passage?A. 5 B. 6 C. 7 D. 829. Which of the following is the correct order according to the passage?a. He became addicted to drinking.b. He studied at St. Paul Academy. c. He published his first novel This Side of Paradise.d. The Great Gatsby won high praise.e. He failed to reorder his life.f. He joined the army and met Zelda.A. f-c-e-a-b-d B. b-e-a-f-c-d C. f-d-e-c-b-a D. b-f-c-d-e-a30. We can infer from the passage that Fitzgerald _. A. had made some money when he met Zelda in AlabamaB. was well educated and well off before he served in the armyC. would have pleted more works if his wife hadnt broken downD. helped his friend get rid of drinking while his wife was in hospital31. The passage is probably followed by a concluding paragraph about _. A. Zeldas personal lifeB. Zeldas illness and treatmentC. Fitzgeralds friendship with GrahamD. Fitzgeralds contributions to the literary world DLiving and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher.If I have learned anything in my 16 years, it is that munication is very important, both when you disagree and when you get along. With any relationship, you need to let other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to municate, you drift apart. When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesnt solve anything.munication begins with the concerns of another. It means that you cant just e home from school, go up to your room and ignore everyone. Even if you just say “Hi”, and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing.If you looked up the word “munication” in a dictionary, it would say “the exchange of ideas, the conveyance (表达) of information, means of munication such as a letter or a message”. To keep a good relationship, you must keep munication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if its just by writing a note.When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that youll listen to what they have to say, but ask them politely to listen to you. Yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse.This is an example: one night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didnt feel she could just ask to go home. That would be rude. After all, they had been nice enough to take her along with them. Needless to say, she was late getting home. Her parents were mad at first, but when Sophie explained why she was late, they werent as mad and let the incident go. munication is the key factor here. If Sophies parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble.munication isnt a one-way deal: it goes both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophies, tell the other person how you feellistening is the key factor to munication.32. In the writers view, dealing with parents is _than with children.A. more difficult B. easier C. more uninteresting D. more interesting33. The main idea of the second paragraph is _.A. the importance of friendshipB. to make your feeling known to othersC. the importance of municationD. the disagreement between generations34. The example in this passage proves that _.A. Sophie is very polite to her parents B. Sophies parents are willing to listen to herC. explanation is the best way to solve a problemD. munication is the solution to misunderstanding35. All the following statements are correct except _.A. If you dont agree with others, youd better let them knowB. It is better to say “Hi” to others than say nothingC. If you are not able to municate, walk awayD. munication is a two-way deal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 cant live without money. 36 However, money cannot buy everything. You cant buy the following things only relying on money you have.TimeMoney is a tool for trade. We spend most of our time on this earth getting, spending, worrying and fantasying about money. 37 Instead, money takes away your time that could have been spent playing with your children or having a long walk with your friends. When the sun sets, a day goes away from our life forever. No money has power to bring that back to life.Self-respectThere are a lot of examples to prove that no money can buy self-respect. 38 If you are your worst enemy, gods of money cant save you from the self-destruction you add to yourself.HealthAs I write this, I found out that one of my best friends has brain cancer, and it is in the last period. 39 But no money can buy insurance for his life. We buy insurance for just about everything including our life but money can never bring life back.HappinessThis is controversial(有争议的).
