At this time, a boy approached me. He stood right before me, and said with great excitement, “Look what I found!”In his hand was a flower, and what a pitiful sight, with its petals (花瓣) all worn. Wanting him to take his flower and go off to play, I managed a smile and then turned to the other side.But instead of leaving, he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and declared, “It really smells pretty and its beautiful, too. Thats why I picked it. Here its for you.”The flower before me was dying or dead. But I knew I must take it, or he might never leave. So I reached for the flower, and replied, “Just what I need.”But instead of placing the flower in my hand, he held it in mid-air. It was then that I noticed that the boy was blind.I heard my voice quiver (轻微颤抖), and at the same time my tears shone like the sun. As I thanked him for picking the very best one, he smiled and said, “Youre wele.” And then he ran off to play, unaware of the impact hed had on me.I sat there and wondered how he managed to see a self-pitying woman beneath an old willow tree. Perhaps from his heart, hed been blessed with true sight.Through the eyes of the blind boy, I could see the problem was not with the world; the problem was me. And for all of those times I had been blind. From now on, I promised to see beauty and appreciate every second. Then I held the flower up to my nose and breathed its fragrance and smiled as that young boy.21. When she sat down to read on the bench, the author _.A. felt relaxed and peaceful B. wanted to have a friend keeping her panyC. felt upset and unhappy with her lifeD. felt proud to have overe the difficulties in life22. Why did the author decide to take the flower at first?A. Because she was really moved by the boy.B. Because she didnt want to hurt the young boy.C. Because she thought the flower was really beautiful.D. Because she didnt like being bothered by the boy any more.23. Which of the following can best describe the boy?A. Handsome and intelligent. B. Kind and optimistic.C. Warmhearted and sensitive. D. Independent and active.BRunning your small business requires good staff. Once you find them, you dont want to let them go elsewhere.During an employees time with a pany, there are a number of forces that influence his or her behavior. I like to refer to them as“push”and“pull”. Youre either pushing an employee towards the door, or pulling them deeper into your organization.Suppose that youve made a good hire and you want to keep the employees, the trick is to recognize individual needs of employees and satisfy those needs, within reason, in order to keep pulling them away from the door. Even if you cant pull them away from the door, at least dont do things to push them out of the door.Recognize that some employees will lose interest and need something fresh to keep their interest. If you cant continually provide challenges, opportunities for promotion and other interesting and rewarding opportunities, then youll have some employees leave through no fault of your own.The important thing is to identify your key employees and make certain they are being treated well. municate with them on a regular basis to make certain that you understand what makes them behave in a particular way, and be aware of concerns they may have about job satisfaction.24. To keep your employees, you are advised to _.A. recognize and meet their needsB. identify and overe their faultsC. offer them a salary as high as possibleD. provide them with a better working condition25. According to the passage, when is it possible for some employees to lose interest?A. The pany is located in a remote area.B. They have no rewarding opportunities.C. They make many mistakes in their work.D. The pany is not big enough for development.26. How should you deal with your key employees according to the last paragraph?A. Make them behave well. B. Meet with them every day.C. Pay regular visits to their family. D. Make sure they are well-treated.27. The passage is mainly about_.A. how to keep your employees B. the importance of key employeesC. how to challenge your employees D. the difference between“push”and“pull”CUnlike modern animal scientists, dinosaur scientists cannot sit on a hillside and use telescopes to watch dinosaurs in order to know how they lived and whether they were good parents. Instead, they have to search hard for information from dinosaurs fossils(恐龙化石) because dinosaurs died out millions of years ago.Its very difficult for the scientists to reach an agreement because different results can be got from the same fossils. Many fossils of the same kind of dinosaurs have been dug out from one place. They might have formed when an entire group of dinosaurs got stuck(陷入)all at once. Or they might have been the result of dinosaurs getting stuck one after another over a course of a few centuries. Thus we can say that dinosaurs might have in the first case lived in big groups and in the second lived alone. Though there are two different results, dinosaur scientists now generally agree that at least some kinds of dinosaurs lived in big groups. “Thats pretty much settled at this point.” Says Paul Sereno. A kind of dinosaurs called Sauropods left behind tracks in the western United States that appear to run north and south, suggesting that they even moved long distances together. As to whether dinosaurs cared for their young, dinosaur scientists have turned to the closest living relatives of dinosaurs birds and crocodiles for possible models. Birds give a lot of care to their young, while crocodiles just help their young to the water. The discovered fossils of dinosaurs sitting on their eggs and staying with their young suggest the parents were taking care of their babies, but we still cannot say that all dinosaurs did the same.There is still a long way to go before the above questions could be answered. Dinosaur scientists will have to find more proof to reach an agreement.28.Dinosaur scientists can get information directly by .A. studying dinosaur fossils B. examining modern animalsC. watching dinosaurs D. using telescopes29.What is pretty much settled according to Paul Sereno?A. Half of the dinosaurs lived alone.B. Most dinosaurs moved long distances.C. Many dinosaurs settled in the north.D. Some dinosaurs lived in big groups.30.Which of the following is true according to the paragraph?A. Birds hardly pay attention to their young.B. Baby crocodiles can look after themselves well.C. Some dinosaurs took care of their young.D. Birds and crocodiles take good care of their young.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。 Most Valuable Possessions on EarthMarie was a single mother of two children in a rural Missouri munity. _31_ She also dedicated much spare time to numerous charities and munity projects.

When the army came knocking on his door, he felt pride and joined up. All those years of polishing his hunting skills could now serve a larger purposeto defend us from the bad guys.

It wasnt long before he realized his ideals and expectations were just a shadow of the truth. “I was a sniper but I never really killed anyone innocent,” he said. “One day I had to do it.
