Growing up, I had people telling me I was too slow, though, with an IQ of 150 at 17, Im anything but stupid. The fact was that I was found to have ADHD(注意力缺陷多动障碍). Anxious all the time, I was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time. However, when something did interest me, I could bee absorbed. In high school, I became curious about the puter, and built my first website. Moreover, I pleted the senior course of puter Basics, plus five relevant pre-college courses. While I was exploring my curiosity, my disease got worse. I wanted to go to college after high school, but couldnt . So, I was killing my time at home until June xx when I discovered the online puter courses of your training center. Since then, I have taken courses like Data Science and Advanced Mathematics. Currently, Im learning your Probability course. I have hundreds of printer paper, covered in self-written notes from your video. This has given me a purpose. Last year, I spent all my time looking for a job where, without dealing with the public , I could work alone, but still have a team to talk to. Luckily, I discovered the jobData Analystthis month and have been going full steam ahead. I want to prove that I can teach myself a respectful profession, without going to college, and be just as good as, if not better than, my petitors. Thank you. Youve given me hope that I can follow my heart. For the first time, I feel good about myself because Im doing something, not because someone told me I was doing good. I feel whole. This is why youre saving my life. Yours, Tanis1. Why didnt Tanis go to college after high school?A. She had learned enough about puter scienceB. She had more difficulty keeping focusedC. She preferred taking online coursesD. She was too slow to learn2. As for the working environment, Tanis prefers_. A . working by herselfB. dealing with the publicC. peting against othersD. staying with ADHD students3. Tanis wrote this letter in order to_. A. explain why she was interested in the puterB. share the ideas she had for her profession C.show how grateful she was to the centerD. describe the courses she had taken so farB“Did you hear what happened to Adam Last Friday?”Lindsey whispers to Tori. With her eyes shining, Tori brags, “You bet I did, Sean told me two days ago. ”Who are Lindsey and Tori talking about? It just happened to be yours truly, Adam Freedmam. I can tell you that what they are saying is (a) not nice and (b) not even true. Still, Lindsey and Tori arent very different from most students here at Linton High School, including me. Many of our conversations are gossip(闲话). I have noticed three effects of gossip: it can hurt people, it can give gossipers a strange kind of satisfaction, and it can cause social pressures in a group. An important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about. Usually, gossip spreads information about a topic- breakups, trouble at home, even dropping out-that a person would rather keep secret. The more embarrassing or shameful the secret is, the juicier the gossip it makes. Probably the worst type of gossip is the absolute lie. People often think of gossipers as harmless, but cruel lies can cause pain. If we know that gossip can be harmful, then why do so many of us do it? That answer lies in another effect of gossip: the satisfaction it gives us. Sharing the latest rumor(传言)can make a person feel important because he or she knows something that others dont. Similarly, hearing the latest rumor can make a person feel like part of the “in group.”In other words, gossip is satisfying because it gives people a sense of belonging or even superiority(优越感). Gossip also can have a third effect: it strengthens unwritten, unspoken rules about how people should act. Professor David Wilson explains that gossip is important in policing behaviors in a group. Translated into high school terms, this means that if everybody you hang around with is laughing at what John wore or what Jane said, then you can bet that wearing or saying something similar will get you the same kind of negative attention. The dos and donts conveyed through gossip will never show up in any student handbook. The effects of gossip vary depending on the situation. The next time you feel the urge to spread the latest news, think about why you want to gossip and what effects your “juicy story” might have. 4. The author uses a conversation at the beginning of the passage to _.A. introduce a topicB. present an argumentC. describe the charactersD. clarify his writing purpose5. In the authors opinion, many people like to gossip because it _. A. gives them a feeling of pleasureB. help them to make more friendsC. makes them better at telling storiesD. enables them to meet important people6. Professor David Wilson think that gossip can _.A. provide students with written rulesB. help people watch their own behaviorsC. force school to improve student handbooksD. attract the polices attention to group behaviors7. What advice does the author give in the passage?A. Never bee a gossiperB. Stay away from gossipersC. Dont let gossip turn into liesD. Think twice before you gossip. CFor many years, I was convinced that my suffering was due to my size . I believed that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds , hurts and rejections with it .Many weight-conscious people also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our worst mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved , being special , and being cherished . We fantasize about what it will be like when we reach the long-awaited goal .We work very hard to realize this dream . Then , at last , we find ourselves there . But we often gain back what we have lost . Even so , we continue to believe that next time it will be different . Next time , we will keep it off . Next time , being thin will finally fulfill its promise of everlasting happiness , self-worth , and , of course , love .It took me a long while to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty . Beauty standards vary with culture . In Samoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds . More importantly , if its happiness that we want , why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our body ? Why not look inside ? Many of us strive hard to change our body , but in vain . We have to find a way to live fortably inside our body and make friends with and cherish ourselves . When we change our attitudes toward ourselves , the whole world changes .8The passage tries to tell us the importance of_. Abody size Bdifferent beauty standardsCculture difference Dattitudes toward life 9What does the word “everything” in paragraph 2 mean ?AThe whole world BAll the properties .CAll the problems .DThe absolute truth .10What can be inferred about the author ?AThe author is a Samoan .BThe author succeeded in losing weight .CThe author probably got wounded in wars or accidents .DThe author has been troubled by her/his weight .11According to the author , what is the mon view of those who have lost some weight first and gained it back later ? AThey feel optimistic about future plans on weight control.BThey are indifferent to the regained weight .CThe feel angry about the regained weight .DThey think they should give up their future plans on weight control .DA long weekend is a great opportunity to do something a little different. Many people use a long weekend for a getaway, a short trip to leave the stress of their everyday lives behind and explore, learn, or relax.Hotel RomanceMany hotels and resorts feature something special to start the getaway, such as champagnes (香槟酒), flowers, or a fruit basket in the room on arrival. Getaway packages usually include a room with something special, a heart shaped bed, for example. Additional benefits could be room service meals or other private dining, plus tickets or discounts for local attractions.Visit a SpaSpa getaways can take place at a location that focuses only on spa services or at a hotel that offers a spa as one of its features. Some spas emphasize treatments fit for their geographic area or a local attraction. A spa in a grape growing region might provide grape juice masks, or a hotel near a hot spring could offer mineral baths. Most spas offer a range of massage (按摩), health and beauty treatments, so a spa getaway can be relaxing with other benefits.Learn a Skill A long weekend may not be enough time to bee an expert at something new, but it provides a way for people to begin their explorations. Some organizations offer intensive(集中的)courses that last two or three days. People with special interests can get away from their routines while learning such things as how to make beer, speak a new language, or take better photos. Help Others Some organizations cooperate with businesses to have acmodations and activities for short-term volunteers. Most volunteer vacations involve ecology friendly or charity activities. A volunteer getaway is a way to relieve stress and help others at the stone time. Stay in a National Park For those who want to relax in a rural environment, a national park fits the bill. Most national parks provide camping areas for tents and trailers. Several have cabins (小屋) within the parks available to rent. A getaway to a national park provides privacy, stress relief, and the time to get to know some important natural resources.12. The underlined word getaway in this passage most probably means_.A. an exciting exploration B. an interesting locationC. a short vacation D. an unforgettable experience13. It can be learned from the text that_.A. spas are offered in the tourist attractions all over the countryB. intensive courses of some organizations help people get away from homeC. helping others at weekend makes people feel more stressfulD. people may get close to nature in a national park14. Which of the following can be rented in a national park?A. Cabins. B. Trailers. C. Camping areas. D. Tents.15. The best title of the passage can be_.A. Away from Our Busy Work B. Good Ways to Relieve StressC. Enjoy Life and Help Others D. Long Weekend Getaway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。Secret codes (密码) keep messages private. Banks, panies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by puter. People have used secret codes for thousands of years. 16 Code breaking never lags(落后) far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography. There are three main types of cryptography. 17 For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” spell out the hidden message “Meet me.” 18 You might represent each letter with a number, for example, Lets number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter, the message “Meet me” would read “13 5 20 13 5.” A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. 19 For example, “bridge” might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me.” The message “bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me.” 20 However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently.A. It is very hard to break a code without the code book. B. In any language, some letters are used more than others. C. Only people who know the keyword can read the message. D. As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them. E. You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out. F. With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words. G. Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet.第二部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。My fiance (未婚夫) and I were excited about shopping for our first home.
