The doctors tried hard, but they didnt know what had caused his disease and nor did they know how to treat it.I did a lot of thinking in the last few months before my father died. Dad meant more to me than anyone else in the world. I remember sitting in the hospitals waiting room in the last days a thousand thoughts came into my mind. “Why is he dying? Why havent I been closer to him? Why havent I spent more time with him? Why?” I asked myself.I had been too busy trying to really get to know my dad. I loved him so much, but I hadnt told him that in years because I was “too big” for all of that. Now, more than anything, I wanted to tell Dad that I loved him, but I wasnt even sure that he would know I was there.I walked into the room. Dad was breathing hard, but very little oxygen was getting into his bloodstream. He hadnt responded to us in days. To my surprise, when I came in, he looked up and recognized me. “Hello, son,” he said gently. “Hi, Dad,” I replied in joy. Now was my chance, but I couldnt get the words “I LOVE YOU” out of my mouth. They stayed locked inside until I was about to explode. Why couldnt I get them out? Finally, I said them. The words seemed so easy to say as they softly left my lips. Those little words could mean so much. He heard and understood.“I love you, too, son,” he said as he squeezed my hand. That moment felt so good. He died just a few hours later.

Not just because of the bright lights of the shelter or peoples constant voices, it was the night mare that happened repeatedly that caused him to stay awake, to fear sleep. Donald was back in his small house. He did his best to ignore the howling winds outside the window. Yet he couldnt tune out the fearful whimpers(呜咽) of his little dog, or the uncomfortable sounds of his mother suffering from anxiety in her room next door. She was unable to sleep through the storm despite her insistence they would be all right. Donald didnt want his mother to be upset, but on some level, he was glad to hear she was awake. It meant he wasnt alone in the dark. Though he was 12, until recently it had been impossible for Donald to fall asleep unless his mother lay down by his side.Suddenly there was a crash. Their living-room window was shattered(打碎) by 125-mile-hour wind. Troy rushed to Donald and sat anxiously on the edge of his bed. He did his best to calm his mother, and she did her best to comfort him.Soon water was entering the single-floor house. Quickly it rose from ankle to leg level. At Donalds insistence, they pushed their way through the water now chest high toward the front door. When they fought their way into the living room, water rose to their chins.It was a struggle for the boy and his mother to float on the water. In a total panic, desperate to hold on to something. Troy caught a curtain rod(杆). Breathing hard, she shouted that she couldnt swim.Donald called out, Mom! Hold on! Just then Donald also caught a floatable wooden board. 46.

I do believe it is true that as humans we all feel that we must be here for a purpose, but I also know that most of us have no idea what that purpose is.For most people the problem is that they dont believe that they have a passion. I know you hear it all the time: “find your passion”. The key step is hard to make if someone is so numb that they dont know what their passion could possibly be. Somehow we seem to hang onto our failures and limits more than we do our success, which is just human nature. Stop and think about the things that you have always done well and loved to do, which will help you find your passion.We should know its easy to determine our purpose, but your purpose must be combined with your passion. For example, I have been involved in weight lifting and fitness since I was in my twenties and have a great deal of self-taught knowledge about bodybuilding. All I had to do was take as exam from a certifying organization to gain my certification and be a fitness trainer which is my purpose. I had a purpose and passion so I made it at last.Generally, your purpose must be in the area that you love, enjoy and are passionate about and that is why you have chosen to spend time and energy when you are working in an area that you are passionate about. 51. The author believes that _.A. each of us has a purpose B. few people have a purposeC. most of us have a purpose D. all of us need a purpose52. Which of the following is the most important to you according to the author?A. Finding your passion. B. Hanging onto your success.C. Giving up your failure. D. Setting up your purpose.53. Many people cant get rid of their failures because _.A. they have become very numb B. they dont know what success isC. its difficult to change their nature D. many things limit their actions54. The author uses his own example in Paragraph 3 to show that _.A. being a fitness trainer is promising B. purpose and passion can lead to successC. its possible for you to find a purposeD. all successful people have a purpose55. You should choose your purpose in the area where _.A. you have expert knowledge, interest and passionB. you have to work hard to make a livingC. you have interest and less special knowledgeD. you enjoy your work and have few skillsDCreativity is the ability to create inventions, solve problems or create a work of art using an unusual or innovative(改革) approach. Creativity is also a skill in high demand in business and in many other forms of employment. All progress is the result of some sort of creative act. Thus someone who can produce such acts on a consistent basis is a valuable addition to any undertaking. Research has shown that too much passive media consumption at a young age prevents the development of creativity. You might think that creativity is a result of high intelligence, but that is not the case. Sure, it does not hurt to be smart, but you can be a smart robot without being able to imagine new ways of doing things. On the other hand its common knowledge that traveling increases your ability to think “outside the box”, because you experience a lot of new things and different ways of doing things when you witness how people from other cultures live. So what is the difference between surfing the web and watching TV and traveling? Watching TV is very passive and your brain simply discards most of it. And it is as if it has become cluttered(凌乱的) with useless information that it cannot really process. When you are doing things actively, by being there, by having a heightened sense of alert, very positive things happen. For example, remember your last trip. Lets say youve been to Tokyo. For most non-Japanese the experience of being in the city is very impressive. Everything is huge. There are lots of people and technology is everywhere. Because the city is new for you, your brain switches in “possibly dangerous” mode. You notice much more, even tiny details. Now that your mind is open it also stores the information better, because of your aroused state. All your input is stored with stronger emotions and is thus easier to recall later. Thats why you should travel pr simply go to new places in your town. Actively observe how you feel and then try to reproduce the feeling at a familiar place. In this way you will learn to see things with the eyes of a traveler.56. What do we know from Paragraph 1? A. Creativity is an important characteristic for business people.B. Creativity is used just to create inventions or solve problems. C. A creative personality is only useful in art.D. Creativity isnt necessarily important for all people.57. What can be inferred about creativity from the passage?A. It belongs to people with great intelligence.B. Experiencing new things is helpful for you to develop it.C. It means people know about others who live in different cultures.D. It is like a clever robot that can do many things.58. Which of the following words in the passage has the opposite meaning to the underlined word “discards” in Paragraph 3?A. Prevents. B. Increases. C. Switches. D. Stores.59. An example of a trip to Tokyo is given in Paragraph 4 to show that _?A. the Japanese are one of the intelligent peopleB. traveling is positive but sometimes dangerousC. positive things happen while people are traveling abroadD. most non-Japanese are curious about Tokyo60. Which of the following statements does the author agree with?A. Traveling abroad is the only way to enrich peoples knowledge.B. Traveling is likely to arouse peoples creativity.C. Surfing the web is good for developing creativity.D. Watching TV is an active way of gaining information.第二节：信息匹配(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)下面是一篇应用文及其应用场合的信息，请阅读下面应用文和相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。（注：如选E，请同时涂黑AB；如选F，请同时涂黑CD）首先，请阅读下面五篇读者来信：61. I am a reader of CR. Recently I noticed some students translate some articles of CR. I appreciate your offering an opportunity to us beginners to practise using English. I really want to be one of them. So I want to ask how I can obtain these articles and translate them for you, and what qualities you require. Thank you.62. I love your Crazy English Reader magazine! It provides valuable data for our English teaching. My wife and I are teaching Conversational English so Ive been giving you a bit of a plug(推广) at our middle school. I told the students to get a copy! Its good stuff! Fantastic! 63. Im one of Yaos fans from Guangzhou. I have read the Yao Ming articles in No.7 Crazy English Reader. Now I want to know his correspondence address and the official website. Could you please tell me? Thank you very much indeed.64. First of all, I must say thank you very much to all the CE Reader editors who provide us with a really good English magazine. Secondly, I want to give you a piece of advice. In each passage, you offer us some new words with their Chinese translation. However, as far as Im concerned, I think you should tell us not only the Chinese meaning but also the English meaning so that we can get to know the words more accurately. Thank you!65. I am an editor of the English Monthly of our school. I dont know how to say the position of the paper e.g. 总编，责任编辑 and so on. I hope you can tell me how to say them in English. I also need more information about the job of an editor. If possible, please email me. Thank you. 请阅读以下材料，为以上读者匹配合适的回信。A. Thank you for your suggestion. We may try that in some future issues of CR. I think the best way to improve your reading vocabulary is to be able to guess the meaning of the word from the other words around it. Also, if you have an English dictionary, its good to look up the words and then mark them down in a notebook and review them later on. Then if you really want to learn how to use the words, try using them in conversation or in writing. Hope this helps.B. The best way for you to learn the different positions in a newspaper or magazine is to get a copy of an all-English magazine or newspaper and then put down the different positions. There are also titles such as Managing Editor, reporter, Copy Editor. Photo Editor and Layout Editor.C. The best way to reach Yao directly is through his home team, the Shanghai Sharks. You can write to him at 2570 Xietu Road, Shanghai. For more information about Yao, you can look at the sports section in sina.com. I hope this helps.D. Thank you for being such a careful reader of CR. Yes, youre right we made a mistake in the writing of that Chinese word. Each issue we try to read each article very carefully and to make sure there are no mistakes in its translation, but unfortunately a few mistakes always get by. But you encourage us to keep improving, so thank you.E. Yes, we do have several students who help us translate some of the articles in our magazine. We contact these translators directly after interviewing their translation work. Afterwards, we assign the articles to them for translation. If you are interested in being one of
