While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.This attitude toward manual(体力的) labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously (豪华地) furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward, furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional man may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.56. From paragraph 1, we can know that in America _.A. people tend to have a high opinion of the self-made manB. people can always rise to the top through their won effortsC. college professors win great respect from common workersD. people feel painful to mention their fathers as labors.57. The expression “ wait on table” in the second paragraph means “_”.59. The main reason for one is poor memory is that _. A. his father or mother may have a poor memoryB. He does not use his name or legs for some timeC. his memory is not often usedD. he cant read or write60. If you do not use your arms or legs for some time _. A. you cant use them any moreB. they will become strongerC. they become weak and wont become strong until you use them again.D. they will become neither stronger nor weaker61. Which of the following is NOT true? A. Your memory works in the same way as your arms or legs.B. Your memory, like your arms or legs, becomes weak if you dont give it enough chance for practice.C. Dont learn how to read and write if you want to have a better memory.D. A good memory comes from more practice.62. Some people cant read or write, but they usually have better memories, because _. A. they have save much troubleB. they have saved much time to remember things C. they have to use their memories all the timeD. they cant write everything in a little notebook63. Which is the best title for this passage? A. Dont Stop Using Your Arms Or LegsB. How To Have a Good MemoryC. Strong Arms And Good MemoriesD. Learn From the PeopleCOne night I was sitting in my room half-listening as my 15-year-old brother fought with my 12-year-old brother Kevin. I didnt pay attention when Kevin rushed up the stairs with the hurt on his face.About 20 minutes later, as I was walking upstairs I heard Kevin crying inside the bathroom. I knocked on the door and asked, “Hey！Kevin, do you want to talk?”No response. I tried again, “Why dont you come out of there?” Again, no response.So, joking around, I grabbed a stack of index cards and a pencil and wrote, “If you dont want to talk, we can write notes to each other.”An hour later I was still sitting on the floor outside the bathroom with two stacks of index cards in front of me. One was blank and one was cards from Kevin on which he had translated all his yucky feelings into words for me. As I read one of Kevins notes, tears came to my eyes. It said, “Nobody in this family cares about me. Im not the youngest, and Im not the oldest, and Im not talented. Tommy thinks Im stupid and Dad wishes he had the other Kevin as a kid because hes better at basketball. And youre never around to even notice me.”Tears came to my eyes again as I wrote back to him. “You know Kevin, I really do love you and Im sorry I dont always show it. I am here for you and you are loved in this family.”There was no response for a while, but then I heard a tearing sound coming from inside the bathroom. Kevin, who had run out of index cards, wrote on a torn up paper cup, “Thanks.”I wrote back “For what?” It returned to me with “Loving me” written on it. Since then, I try my best never to half-notice my family members anymore. Kevin and I have closer relationship now, and sometimes when one of us notices that the other is upset well smile and say “Write it on a paper cup.”64. Why did Kevin stay inside the bathroom alone crying?A. Because he lost in the fight with Tommy.B. Because the author didnt help him win Tommy.C. Because he felt no love from the family members.D. Because he hurt him when rushing up the stairs.65. The underlined word “yucky” (Para.6) most probably means “_ ”.A. unpleasantB. exciting C. doubtfulD. frightening66. What could be the reason that Kevins Dad doesnt like him?A. Kevin likes fighting with others. B. Kevin is not good at playing basketball.C. Kevin doesnt want to talk to others. D. Kevin is not talented as his brother.67. What did the author learn from the incident?A. Its hard to comfort young brothers at home.B. Its dangerous to half notice someone in the family.C. Its important for family members to show their love.D. The best way to communicate with family members is by writing. The unquestioned role of a student is to learn as much as possible through whatever means it takes to acquire knowledge. Teachers and professors are human beings and are therefore not perfect. No one knows the correct answer to every question even when you limit the questions to a certain field of study. Having certain skepticism (质疑) about what they are being taught can help students to make the teachers even better by correcting mistakes and misinformation.Students certainly have a huge role in their own abilities to learn. Teachers should act more as guides along the way rather than try to force each student to learn. The best teachers in the world cannot teach an unmotivated student. If the teacher, for whatever reason, cannot motivate the student, then the student must somehow find a way to motivate himself or herself.One method of doing this is by becoming an active rather than a passive student. The more the student involves himself or herself in the act of studying, the better he or she can learn. One of the best ways to become more active is simply to ask the teacher or professor questions. Students who passively sit in a classroom and take everything that the teacher says for granted are not fully using their mental capacities to learn.Better education comes from teachers who are able to get their students to think about a subject rather than merely absorb a certain amount of information. Having a healthy skepticism can improve a students ability to both think and absorb knowledge in a learning situation.Teachers are human beings and no one is one hundred percent right all of the time, even in a classroom situation. Perhaps a teacher would simply unconsciously say the wrong word or pass on some misinformation that the teacher truly believed was correct. A students question could prevent an entire classroom from becoming confused or misinformed.There is of course a fine balance between a student having a healthy skepticism, and just being a downright skeptic. But with the proper attitude toward learning and a little skepticism, both the students and teachers can improve upon the learning process and maximize learning efficiency. 68. Which of the following is the authors main argument?A. Passive learning results from passive teaching in class.B. A students ability plays a huge role in the learning process.C. A healthy skepticism fully depends on students motivation and ability.D. A healthy skepticism and proper attitude contribute to effective learning.69. Being passive learners, the students _. A. use little of their mental ability while studying B. seldom involve themselves completely in learning C. can hardly tell the right from the wrong in class D. simply ask their teachers questions without thinking70. According to the passage, a good teacher should _.A. help the unmotivated students patientlyB. instruct students in the learning processC. make no mistakes in the teaching processD. answer all the questions raised by students第三部分：写作（共两节，满分25分）第一节：短文改错(共1小题,满分10分) （见答题卷）第二节：书面表达(共1小题,满分15分) （见答题卷）参考答案一、 听力部分 15 BABBB 610 CCBAC 1115 ABAAC 1620 BABBA二、 单选2125 ABCCA 2630 ABB 3135 DAB三、 完形 3640 CDBCA 4145 DBABC 4650DAACD 5155 BABDC 四、 阅读 5658 ADB 596 66 CABC 670 五、 改错Last weekend I went to the Summer Palace as usually.
