I constantly found myself in the unique position of being either the first (woman doctor in Maryland Rotary) _53_ one of the few women (chief medical reporters) in my field. I gained strength every time I said, Yes, Ill try that. Encouraged by your _54_, I have forged ahead (毅然前行) with my lifes journey, less afraid to make mistakes, and eagerly meeting each challenge.

If people go “Dutch treat”, or simply “go Dutch”, it means that they will share the expenses of a social engagement. There are many other “Dutch” expressions in English, many of which were invented in Britain in the seventeenth century, when the Dutch and the English were mercial and military rivals. The British used “Dutch” to refer to something bad, cheap and shameful. A “Dutch bargain” at that time was an uneven, one-sided deal; “Dutch reckoning” was an unitemized account; and “Dutch widow” was slang for prostitute. Later centuries brought in “Dutch courage”, for bravery induced by drink; “Dutch concert”, for discordant music; “Dutch nightingale”, meaning a frog; and “double Dutch”, for inprehensible language, or unintelligible talk. Some of the expressions are still in use today, but some are not. In fact, in American English, some “Dutch” expressions have nothing to do with the Dutch, but something with the German. It was probably because of the similar spelling and pronunciation that people made a mistake in distinguishing between “Dutch” and “Deutsch” (the German word for German), when German immigrants came to America in the 1700s. For instance, “the Pennsylvania Dutch” refers to the German descendants, instead of the Dutch descendants, living in Pennsylvania. 56. If someone invites you to dinner and says “lets go Dutch”, he means .A.that hell invite you to a Dutch restaurant. B. that hell buy your dinner.C.that youll buy his dinner. D. that you are expected to pay your own meal. 57. Many of the “Dutch” expressions were invented with derogatory (贬义) sense, because . A.the Dutch were underdeveloped people. B.Britain and Holland were petitors at that time. C.The Dutch had many bad habits. D. The British were superior to the Dutch. 58. With the information you get from Paragraph 2, make a guess at the meaning of the sentence “You are in Dutch”. It probably means .A. You are in Holland. B. You are wele. C.You are in trouble. D. You are lucky. 59. According to the passage, some native American “Dutch” expressions were related to the German instead of the Dutch, simply because .A. People hated the German as much as the Dutch. B. People made a mistake at the beginning. C. People made a joke about the German. D.The German immigrants proclaimed that they were Dutch. BMost people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future for example, getting into college or getting a good job that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy lifes simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this such as swimming, dancing, or playing a sport. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.60. The best title of the passage is _.A. Money Makes You Happy B. The Secrets of HappinessC. Ideas for Helping Other People to Be Happy D. Good Friends Make You Happy61. The second paragraph tells us that _.A. the more friends you have, the happier you will beB. we shouldnt think about our futureC. happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life.D. some people fail to live a happy life62. The writer thinks that _.A. everyone knows how to live a happier lifeB. its wrong to spend time on workC. hobbies take up too much timeD. doing good things for someone can make you happier63. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?A. Reading a good book.B. Traveling to a foreign country.C. Playing a sport.D. Spending time with close friends.C.Homestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.What to ExpectThe host will provide acmodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.Acmodation ZonesHomestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2, 3 and of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is mercial and not residential(居住的). Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger acmodation in a less crowded area. It is very convenient to travel in London by Underground.Meal Plans Available Continental Breakfast Breakfast and Dinner Breakfast, Packed Lunch and DinnerIts important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your acmodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal（谷物类食品）, bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by desert, fruit and coffee.FriendsIf you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your hosts permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.Self-Catering Acmodation in Private HomesAcmodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room. This kind of acmodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practise English at home quite as much.64. The passage is probably written forA. host willing to receive foreign studentsB. foreigners hoping to build British cultureC. travellers planning to visit families in LondonD. English learners applying to like in English homes65. Which of the following will the host provide?A. Room cleaning. B. Medical care. C. Free transport. D. Physical training.66.

To enjoy much more freedom.DMark Rothko, one of the greatest painters of the twentieth century, was born in Daugavpils, Latvia in 1903. His family immigrated to the United States in 1913, after a 12-day voyage.Mark moved to New York in the autumn of 1923 and found employment in the garment trade and settled down on the Upper West Side. It was while he was visiting someone at the Art Students League that he saw students painting a model. According to him, this was the start of his life as an artist. He was twenty years old and had taken some art lessons at school, so his initial experience was far from an immediate calling.In 1936, Mark Rothko began writing a book, which he never pleted, about the similarities in the childrens art and the work of modern painters. The work of modernists, which was influenced by primitive art, could, according to him, be pared to that of children in that “Child art transforms itself into primitivism, which is only the child producing a copy of himself.” In this same work, he said that “The fact that one usually begins with drawing is already academic. We start with colour.”It was not long before his multiform developed into the style he is remembered for. In 1949 Rothko exhibited these new works at the Betty Parsons Gallery. For reviewer Harold Rosenberg, the paintings were unique and primitive. Rothko had, after painting his first multiform, separated himself from the world in East Hampton on Long Island, only inviting a very few people, including Rosenberg, to view the new paintings. The discovery of his works specialty came at a period of great sorrow: his mother Kate died in October 1948. As part of this new uniformity of artistic vision, his paintings no longer had individual titles. From this point on they were simply untitled, numbered or dated. However, to assist in distinguishing one work from another, traders would sometimes add the primary colours to the name. Additionally, for the next few years, Rothko painted in oil only on large vertical tents. This was done to surround the viewer, or, in his words, to make the viewer feel enveloped within the picture.69. When did Rothko want to be an artist?A. When he immigrated to the U.S.A. B. When he watched students drawing.C. When he moved to the Upper West Side. D. When he joined the Art Students League.70. What did Rothko think of modern art?A. It could be produced by children. B. It could be pared to child work.C. It was a certain kind of primitive art. D. It was academic from the very beginning.71. Why does the author mention Rothkos unpleted book?A. To prove Rothkos concentration on painting.B. To show Rothkos research on the modern art.C. To suggest Rothkos unique personal painting style.D. To explain the inspiration of Rothkos painting style.72. Rothkos distinctive style _.A. took shape in 1948 B. was affected by RosenbergC. resulted from his boyhood experienceD. was rooted in the separation from the world73. How long did Rothko stay in the United States before he moved to New York? A. 10 B. 20 C. 16 D. 33第二节 阅读与表达（共3小题，每小题3分，共9分）阅读下面短文和问题，根据短文内容和每小题后的具体要求，在相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。答语要意思清楚，结构正确，书写工整。Here are some suggestions on listening.
