A big F was written on top. I was hopeless. I was stupid！My face burned with shame when my classmates called me stupid.“Im the only one who doesnt know my ABCs！”I sobbed to mum.“Ill help，”she promised.Every day I sat with her，but to me，cat looked like cta and red was reb. Frustrated，I would return to my bedroom and draw，filling the paper with houses，restaurants and offices.“When I grow up，I want my own store，”I told mum，pointing to my drawings.“Thats great！”she said，“but first you have to learn to read.”Later，I was diagnosed with dyslexia(失读症)So mum took me to a learning centre，where I was given reading exercises. But I still struggled. Finally，I graduated，but I was afraid of my reading skills.“Ill never get a job！”I cried to mum later again.“Dont focus on what you cant do，”she forted.“Concentrate on what you can.”But what can I do？I wondered. Suddenly，I thought of the drawings Id made as a child and my dream of having my own store. I enjoyed sales so much that over the next few years，I tried my hand at other businesses. Today，I watch over seven branches. We have 187 employees and $15 million in sales.While Ill never be what my teachers might have wanted，I am a successon my own terms. The other day a student sent me a card，reading：You gave me so much confidence. I hope to be like you when I am big. Tears of joy filled my eyes. This was my A，I smiled.21Why did the author feel so ashamed at school?AHis teacher scolded him in class.BHis classmates looked down upon him.CHe failed to hand in his essay on time.DHis teacher refused to read his essay.22Which of the following best describes the authors feeling to his mother?ADoubtful. BAnnoyed. CGuilty. DGrateful.23What do you know from the last paragraph?AThe authors parents were proud of their child.BThe authors success inspired a kid.CThe author set a good example to businessmen.DThe authors teacher must have felt ashamed.BIt is monly believed that all over the world, boys and girls attend a mixed school, where they study together.But boys schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music.Always boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activitiesthat helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to correspond to(和相符) the boy code of hiding their emotions to be a real man.Surprisingly, the findings of the study go against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongsidegirls.George Carl, headmaster of Eton, warned that boys were being failed by the British education system becauseit had bee too focused on girls. He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls.The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they bee discouraged whengirls do better earlier in speaking and reading skills. But in single-sex schools teachers can adjust lessons to boys learning style, letting them move around theclassroom and getting them to pete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote the studys author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia. Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with boy-focused approaches such as themesand characters that appeal to them. Because boys generally have moreacutevision, learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given hands-on lessons where they are allowed to walk around. Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine（女性的) and prefer the modern genre (类型) in which violence and sexism are major themes, James wrote.Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel that they had to be masterful and in chargein relationships. In mixed schools, boys feel forced to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means, the study reported.24. The writer argues that a single-sex school would _.A. force boys to he their emotions to be real men.B. help boys to be more petitive in schools.C. encourage boys to express their emotions more freelyD. naturally strengthen boys traditional image of a man25. Traditionally, in a mixed school boys _.A. perform relatively better.B.behave more responsibly.C.grow up more healthily.D. receive a better education.26. In Abigail James opinion, one of the advantages of single-sex schools is _. A. boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested in B. teaching can be adjusted to suiting the characteristics of boys C. boys can focus on their lessons without being distracted D. teaching can be designed to promote boys team spirit27. The underlined word “acute” in paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to _ . A. lovely B. sharp C.serious D. dullCMy elder brother Steve, in the absence of my father who died when I was six, gave me important lessons in values that helped me grow into an adult.For instance, Steve taught me to face the results of my behavior. Once when I returned in tears from a Saturday baseball game, it was Steve who took the time to ask me what happened. When I explained that my baseball had soared through Mrs Holts basement window, breaking the glass with a crash, Steve encouraged me to confess to her. After all, I should have been playing in the park down Fifth Street and not in the path between buildings. Although my knees knocked as I explained to Mrs Holt, I offered to pay for the window from my pocket money if she would return my ball.I also learned from Steve that personal property is a sacred thing. After I found a shiny silver pen in my fifthgrade classroom, I wanted to keep it, but Steve explained that it might be important to someone else in spite of the fact that it had little value. He reminded me of how much Id hate to lose to someone else the small dog my father carved from a piece of cheap wood. I returned the pen to my teacher, Mrs Davids, and still remembered the smell of her perfume as she patted me on my shoulder.Yet of all the instructions Steve gave me, his respect for life is the most vivid in my mind. When I was twelve I killed an old brown sparrow in the yard with a BB gun. Excited with my accuracy, I screamed to Steve to e from the house to take a look. I shall never forget the way he stood for a long moment and stared at the bird on the ground. Then in a dead, quiet voice, he asked, “Did it hurt you first, Mark？” I didnt know what to answer. He continued with his eyes firm, “The only time you should ever think of hurting a living thing is if it hurts you first. And then you think a long, long time.” I really felt terrible then, but that moment stands out as the most important lesson my brother taught me.28What is the main subject of the passage?AThe relationship between Mark and Steve.BMark and Steves respect for living things.CSteves important role in Marks growing process.D. The important lesson Mark learned in school.29In the story about the pen, which of the following lessons did Steve teach his brother?AThe value of honesty. BRespect for life.CSympathy for people with problems.DRespect for personal belongings?30According to the writer, which was the most important lesson Steve taught his young brother?AResponsibility for ones actions.BRespect for living thingsCThe value of being brave.DCare for the property of others.31Which of the following is true according to the passage?AMark will probably never kill any life without hesitation.BMark was still a boy when he wrote this passage.CMark felt sorry that he killed the bird by accident.DMark lost the small dog his father carved.DAn allowance(补贴，津贴) is an important tool for teaching kids how to budget, save and make their own decisions. Children remember and learn from mistakes when their own dollars are lost or spent foolishly.How large an allowance is appropriate? Experts say there is not right amount. Actual amounts differ from region to region, and from family to family.To set an appropriate allowance for your child, work up a weekly budget. Allow for entertainment expenditures such as movies and snacks. Next, include everyday expenses such as lunch money, bus fare, school supplies. “If you make the child responsible for these bills，” says Josephine Swanson, a consumer specialist, “he or she will learn to budget for necessary expenditures.”Finally, add some extra money to make saving possible. If you can, keep your childs allowance in line with that of his friends. A child whose purchasing power falls away below his peers can feel left out.It can be tough, but avoid excusing your children when they make a mistake with their allowance. When Brooke Stephens was ten and growing up in Jacksonville, her mother gave her $5 a week, $1.75 of which was for bus fare and lunch. “If you lose your money，” Brookes mother told her, “you walk home.”One week the girl spent all her allowance in a candy store, then she called home for a ride. “Mom made me walk home，” recalls Stephens, now a financial planner in Brooklyn. “At first I was angry. But I finally realized that she was trying to teach me an important lesson.”Experts advise that an allowance should not be tied directly to a childs daily housework. Kids should help around the house not because they get paid for it but because they share responsibilities as members of a family. You might, however, pay a child for doing extra jobs at home, which can develop his or her initiative.32Which of the following is the possible title of the passage?AHow to teach a child about moneyBHow to develop a childs initiativeCHow to teach a child to save moneyDHow to work up an amount of pocket money33It can be inferred from the passage that if a child is given an allowance, he or she may _.Abe spoiled and finally ruined Bspend all the money very soonC. feel responsible and careful about money Dlost the money and can not return home34In Paragraph 4, the words “his peers” refer to “_”Ahis parents Bhis friendsChis teachers Dhis financial experts35The author implies in the passage that _.Apaying children for their housework is no goodBchildren may feel lost and lonely if they have no pocket moneyCa childs initiative can be developed if he or she is paid for all the houseworkDchildren may learn to put aside some money if they are given a great amount of pocket money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。What is a dream?For centuries, people have wondered about the strange places that they seem to visit in their sleep. _36_ However, they have been valued as necessary to a persons health and happiness.Historically people thought dreams contained messages from God. It was only in the twentieth century that people started to study dreams scientifically believing that they tell about a persons character. _37_ He believed that dreams allow a person to express fantasies or fears, which would be socially unacceptable in real life.The second theory to bee popular was Carl Jungs pensation theory. Jung, a former student of Freud, said that the purpose of a dream is not to hide something, but rather to municate it to the dreamer. _38_ Thus, people who think too highly of themselves may dream about falling; those who think too little of themselves dream of being heroes.Using more recent research, William Domhoff from the University of California found that dreaming is a mental skill that needs time to develop in humans. _39_ Until they reach age five, they cannot express very well what their dreams are about. Once people bee adults, there is little or no change in their dreams. The dreams of men and women differ. For instance, the characters that appear in the dreams of men are often other men, and often involve physical aggression.The meaning of dreams continues to be difficult to understand. _40_ If you dream that a loved one is going to die, do not panic. The dream may have meaning, but it does not mean that your loved one is going to die.AFirst, there was Sigmund Freuds theory.BChildren do not dream as much as adults.CDreams make up for what is lacking in waking life.DThey think their mind is trying to tell them something.EHowever, people should not take their dreams as reality.FIt gives scientists chances to better understand human mind.GThey have been considered as meaningless nighttime journeys.第三部分：语言知识运用（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，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（、和）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。I became a gardener when I was twelve.
