He had left a message the night before, telling me that my show was to be cancelled. I called him several times, but each time his secretary told me that he was in a meeting and that he would call me later. So I waited, but there was still no call. Three hours passing by. I became more and more impatient. I was certain that my agent didnt care about my work, and he didnt care about me. I was overe with that thought. I started to shout at the phone, “Let me wait, will you? Who do you think you are?”At that time I didnt realize my wife was looking on. Without showing her surprise, she rushed in, seized the phone, tore off the wires, and shouted at the phone, “Yeah! Who do you think you are? Bad telephone! Bad telephone!” And she swept it into the wastebasket. I stood watching her, speechless. What on earth?She stepped to the doorway and shouted at the rest of the house, “Now hear this! All objects in this room if you do anything to upset my husband, out you go!”Then she turned to me, kissed me and said calmly, “Honey, you just have to learn how to take control.” With that, she left the room. After watching a crazy woman rushing in and out, shouting at everything in sight, I noticed that something in my mood(情绪) had changed. I was laughing. How would I have trouble with that phone? Her antics helped me realize I had been driven crazy by small things. Twenty minutes later my agent did call. I was able to listen to him and talk to him calmly.61.

Anxious feelings. D. Unusual actions.BI first went to Harrow in the summer term. The school had the biggest swimming pool I had ever seen. It was a good joke to e up behind a naked boy, and push him into the pool. I made quite a habit of this with boys of my own size or less.One day I saw a boy wrapped in a towel on the side of the pool. He was no bigger than I was, so I thought him a fair game. ing secretly behind, I pushed him in, holding on to his towel so that it would not get wet, I was surprised to see an angry face e out from the water, and a being of great strength making its way by face strokes (猛力地划)to the shore. I fled（逃跑）, but in vain. He overtook me, seized me violently, and threw me into the deepest part of the pool. I soon climbed out on the other side, and found myself surrounded by a crowd of younger boys.” Do you know what you have done?” they said, “Its Amery; he is in Grade Six. He is champion at gym; he has got his football honor.”I was frightened and felt ashamed. “How could I tell his position when he was wrapped in a bath towel and so small.” He didnt seem pleased at all, so I added in a most brilliant word, “My father, who is a great man, is also small.” Hearing that, he laughed, and after some general words about my rude behavior and how I had better be careful in the future, signified the incident was closed.65. The writer thought Amery” a fair game” because the boy . A. was of similar size B. looked like an animal C. was fond of games D. was good at sports66. The writer felt” ashamed” because . A. he was laughed at by other boys B. he played a joke on an outstanding athlete C. Amery turned out to be in the same grade D. he pushed Amery hard and hurt him 67.

Amery forgave the writer for his rude behavior.B. The writer could run faster than Amery. C. The writer liked playing on boys of all sizes.D. Amery was a student in Grade Four.CRemembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.Recite and repeat in conversation.When you hear a persons name, repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You should also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.Ask the other person to recite and repeat. You can let other people help you remember their names. After youve been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort youre making to learn their names. Admit you dont know. Admitting that you cant remember someones name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say, “Im working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?” Use associations.(联想) Link each person you meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example, you could make a mental note: “Vicki Cheng-tall, black hair.” To reinforce(加强) your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible. Limit the number of new names you learn at one time. When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can e later. Go early. Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. Thats fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to othersan automatic review for you. 69. Most people will feel _ when you try hard to remember their names. A. moved B. delighted C. annoyed D. discouraged70. If you cant remember someones name, you may _.A. tell him a white lie B. ask him for pity C. tell him the truth D. ask others to help you 71. When you meet a group of people, it is better to remember _.A all their names B. a couple of names firstC. just their last names D. as many names as possible72. What does the text mainly tell us?A. Tips on an important social skill. B. Importance of attending parties.C. How to make use of associations. D. How to recite and repeat names.DEvery kid wishes to be an adult. But now as grown-ups, some adults find they cannot leave childhood behind. They bee kidults (kid+adult). Being a kidult has bee a lifestyle-choice among young people across Asia.Some kidults collect toys they once played with. Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have many adult fans around the world. It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big, Garfield-shaped cushion on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory.(配件) Other kidults still enjoy childrens stories and fairy tales. For example, Bloomsbury even published the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover. That way, no one else on the subway will know that an adult is actually reading a childrens book!Kidults can be like vitamins to society. Adults who value their childhood and hold on to pure, child-like emotion may be needed in such a rough and dry society, said Lee Sojung, professor of Foreign Studies at Hankuk University(韩国外国语大学). He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap between adults and kids. It could give children and their parents books, movies, and cartoon shows to enjoy together. He may be right.Tim Greenhalgh,a professor,explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up. They value childhood because life in a busy and stressful city frightens them. Kidults would like to forget their age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood.73. We can infer from the article that _.A. Bloomsbury knows some kidults dont want people to know that they are kidultsB. Kidults miss their childhood so much that they cant give up their toysC. Kidults like to have vitamins very muchD. Some toys are so interesting that even adults like them very much74. According to the author, being a kidult is good in some way EXCEPT that _.A. it can improve the relationship between parents and their kidsB. it can help kidults feel relaxedC. it can make people loyal to ones parentsD. it is helpful to solve some social problems75. According to the writer, _. A. kidults have mental problems B. being a kidult is nothing wrongC. our society is very dull D. some people can never grow up第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) ( 若选E涂AB，选F涂AC，选G涂AD。)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 your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red? 76 . Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. 77 . If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly. 78 . A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. 79 . A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides（自杀）than any other bridge in the area -until it was repainted green . The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue. 80 . It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey. A. Colors do influence our moods-there is no doubt about it.B. The rooms are painted in different colors as you like. C. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favorite color as grow up-we are born with our preference.D. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active.E. Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colors. F. If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. G.
