I had just changed one long sentence, and correct grammarsomething I thought I was paid to do. In fact I had been warned. On the first day one of my workmates took me aside and reminded me of his temper. As the weeks went by, I came to look down on Jack. One day Jacks other papers left me in tears so I stormed into his office angrily. “What?” he asked. Suddenly I knew what I must do. After all, he earned it. “Jack, the way youve been treating me is wrong. Ive never had anyone speak to me that way. As a professional, its wrong for me to allow it to continue,” I said. Jack smiled nervously, “Susan, I make you a promise that I will be a friend. I will treat you as you should be treated, with respect and kindness,” he said. With these words, I left. Jack avoided me the rest of the week, and never questioned my work again. I brought cookies to the office one day and left some on his desk. Another day I left a note: “Hope your day is going great.” Over the next few weeks, Jack reappeared , but there were no more Jacks papers. One year later I discovered I had breast cancer, and was scared. The statistics (统计数字) were not great for my long-term survival. On the last day of my hospital stay, Jack came and silently handed me a bundle with several bulbs inside. “Tulips (郁金香) ,” he said. I smiled, not understanding. He cleared his throat. “If you plant them when you get home, theyll e up next spring. I think you will be there to see them when they e up.” Tears clouded my eyes and I whispered: “Thank you.”Jack held my hands firmly, saying, “You are wele. You cant see it now, but next spring you will see the colors I picked out for you.” I have seen those red and white striped（有条纹的） tulips push through the soil every spring for over ten years now. This past September the doctor declared me cured. At a moment when I was praying for just the right word, a man with very few words said all the right things.

Quizlet is a learning App, a puter program you use on your mobile phone. It can help users build and test their knowledge of English words. Quizlet has word sets for millions of subjects. And, it is quickly being a useful mobile tool for language learners.Thorne teachers at Columbia University in New York City. Thanks to learning Apps, Jeff Strack, another English teacher, has also notice improvement in his students ability to remember information. He teaches at Hostos Community College, also in New York. He and Thorne are part of a growing number of language educators adding mobile Apps to their classes.Strack and Thorne seem to agree that the days when teachers would not permit the use of mobile phones are gone. When they use Apps, language learners municate more differently than in a traditional classroom. Users act on or respond to something, instead of just listening to new information.Thorne believes that Apps can help learners bee more active in learning. For example, each week, his students are required to add vocabulary words into Quizlet for others to use. He says some Apps also make it easy for students to know their language strengths and weaknesses.The biggest improvement Strack has seen in his students is that they are much more active in whole-class or small-group discussions. “Apps let all students take part in the activity, whether its a game, quiz or practice activity.” he says.Many existing learning Apps are designed for students of all ages and levels. Some are designed for group activities. some support independent learning. Still some are good for homework. Thorne says he especially likes Quizlet and three other Apps: QR Codes, Socrative and Evernote.28.What do Strack and Thorne do to improve their teaching?A.

Better language learning with mobile AppsDLast week I visited my friend Pete in the new home where he lives with his wife and daughter. Pete used to spend his holidays travelling the world, visiting the pyramids in Egypt or scuba diving(潜水) in the Caribbean. Nowadays he prefers to spend his holidays and weekends making his house look more beautiful. Like hundreds of thousands of other British people, he has discovered the joy of DIY (Do It Yourself), which means if there are any things that need fixing around the house, he will try to do the job himself.As he showed me the new kitchen he put together by himself and the newly painted walls, I asked Pete where he got his inspiration (灵感) from. He told me that his favorite source of ideas was a DIY program on TV.This got me thinking about the great popularity of DIY programs in the UK. Each major channel has at least one home or garden improving show and theres even a satellite channel pletely about the subject.I guess it is not really surprising that DIY programs are so popular. Two mon sayings in Britain an Englishmans home is his castle and theres no place like homeshow how important our houses are to us. With the present economic downturn, many people cant afford to buy a bigger house so they are looking at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money. DIY is the perfect choice.But be careful! I read a report that said over 230,000 people were injured while doing home improvements in the UK in just one year, including 41,000 who fell off ladders(梯子) and 5,800 who were seriously hurt by hammers. So I wont be going down to the hardware store.32.How did Pete spend his holiday in the past?A. Visiting his friends.B. Diving.C. Travelling around the world.D. Making his house beautiful.33.Which might NOT be shown in a DIY program on TV?A. Scuba divingB. A garden improving feature.C. Home improvements.D. Fixing things in kitchens34.Which is NOT the reason why DIY is popular among British people?A. They enjoy DIY.B. They want to make their houses better themselves.C. They can improve their houses without spending much money.D. They want to be on TV.35.At the end of the article the writer wants us to remember _.A. not to go to the hardware storeB. to be careful not to get hurt while doing DIYC. to keep watching DIY on TV while drinking a nice cup of teaD. not to climb ladders or use hammers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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。Matthew Youlden speaks nine languages fluently and understands more than a dozen more. 36 When I told Matthew how Ive been working hard to only pick up a second language, he had the following advice for me.Know why you are doing it This might sound easy , but if you dont have a good reason to learn a language, you are less likely to stay interested over the long-run. 37 Wanting to get to know a French person in his or her own language is another matter entirely. No matter what your reason is, once youve decided on a language, its important to carry out .38 Matthew learned several languages together with his twin brother Michael. They learned their first foreign language, Greek, when they were only eight years old! Even if you cant get a sister or brother to join you on your language adventure, having any kind of partner will push both of you to always try just a little bit harder and stay with it.Have fun with it39Think of some fun ways to practice your new language: make a radio play with a friend, draw a ic strip, write a poem, or simply talk to whomever you can. If you cant find a way to have fun with the new language, chances are you arent following step four.Act like a child We learn by making mistakes. 40But as adults, mistakes bee taboo(禁忌). Think how an adult is more likely to say, “I cant”, rather than, “I havent learned that yet” (I cant swim, I cant drive, I cant speak Spanish). When it es to learning a language, admitting that you dont know everything is the key to growth and freedom.A. Find a partnerB. Leave your fort placeC. We work in the same office in Berlin.D. As kids, we are expected to make mistakes.E. You are learning a language to be able to use it.F. Using your new language in any way is a creative act.G. Wanting to impress English-speakers with your French is not a very good reason.第三部分 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15分，满分30分）Peter and Paul had got permission(允许) from their parents to camp in a field close to their farm.
