The California Institute of Technology, a university in the USA, has a special day on which students are 17 to play big tricks. One time, a group of students took apart a car, moved the parts to a student’s room and then put the car back together next to the bed. It was a quiet evening at an American high school.

It caused a lot of trouble for police and firefighters as they had to cut the car into pieces to get it down. They couldn’t find out who was 22 , and the trick made headlines around the world.

When he wants something done, he’ll ask. “Would you mind getting this information for me, please?” Mr. White is just the opposite. He usually shouts across the room, “Get me the papers, and hurry up.” But Mr. White surprised us this morning. At first we thought he must be sick. He was kind and polite. “Miss Erickson,” he asked, “if it isn’t too much trouble for you, could you please make these telephone calls for me?” June Erickson was too surprised to say a word. Right after that, Mr. White said, “Miss Reed, would you be so kind as to open the window? It’s quite warm in here.” Then he turned to me, “I’d appreciate very much if you’d mail these letters for me.” We couldn’t imagine why he was behaving so strangely. Should we give him some medicine? Or should we send him to the hospital? The situation was soon cleared up. “Ladies,” Mr. Thompson said, “I’ve been told that the president （总裁） of our company will be here soon.

Perhaps you are too busy with your schoolwork to 45 consider these chances. I encourage traveling at a young age. The earlier you travel widely, the more you can learn. As young people, most of us live with mom and dad. Our community knows us well, too. The idea of 46 this comfort zone can be scary. However, one learns the most in strange situations. In our daily life, we know well how to act and respond to people. But how about being in a new place, with strangers who hold different values? It can be uncomfortable at first. But once you work out that, you can connect with people in spite of differences, you become 47 and more confident. You should learn to face this discomfort. It will help you to grow. By traveling wide and far, you will also develop cultural sensitivity (文化敏感性). Being culturally sensitive is very important. And it is not enough to just know “People from that country are like this.” When I was in Spain, 48 , I found the people there took a two-hour break in the middle of their workday. Many foreigners consider the Spanish people 49 . Few of them know people there place great value on family time. To the Spanish people, eating together as a family is more important than anything else. Cultural sensitivity will help you with your 50 on both business and daily personal affairs. Finally, I’d like to mention that travelling abroad will be a wonderful way to learn a new language. Being in a new language learning environment, you will have to use the language. In this way, you will make your language skills better. 45．A．seriously B．briefly C．politely D．suddenly 46．A．taking charge of B．preparing for C．pointing out D．getting out of 47．A．smarter B．healthier C．richer D．luckier 48．A．in a word B．of course C．for example D．at last 49．A．fair B．lazy C．honest D．pure 50．A．attraction B．experience C．influence D．communication 【答案】45．A 46．D 47．A 48．C 49．B 50．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述关于出国旅游或者学习带来的好处，鼓励大家出国旅游或学习。 45．句意：也许你忙于功课而没有认真考虑这些机会。 seriously认真地；briefly简单地；politely礼貌地；suddenly忽然地。根据“you are too busy with your schoolwork to… consider these chances.”可知，学业太忙，没有认真考虑这些机会。故选A。 46．句意：想到走出这个舒适区就会害怕。 taking charge of 负责；preparing for准备；pointing out指出；getting out of 走出。根据“The idea of … this comfort zone can be scary.”可知，一想到走出舒适区就害怕。故选D。 47．句意：但是一旦你意识到你可以在不同的情况下与人沟通，你就会变得更聪明、更自信。 smarter更聪明的；healthier更健康的；richer更富有的；luckier更幸运的。根据“you can connect with people in spite of differences, you become… and more confident.”可知，与不同的人交流并解决问题会让人更聪明更自信。故选A。 48．句意：举个例子，当我在西班牙的时候，我发现那里的人们在工作中间会休息两小时。 in a word总之；of course当然；for example例如；at last最后。根据“When I was in Spain…I found the people there took a two-hour break in the middle of their workday.”可知，作者举出西班牙人在工作中间会有两小时休息的例子。故选C。 49．句意：很多外国人认为西班牙人懒惰。 fair公平的；lazy懒惰的；honest诚实的；pure纯粹的。根据“people there took a two-hour break in the middle of their workday.”可知，外国人对西班牙人在工作期间有两小时的休息的看法是懒惰。故选B。 50．句意：文化敏感性会帮助你在商业和个人事务上进行交流。 attraction吸引力；experience经验；influence影响；communication交流。根据“Cultural sensitivity will help you with your…on both business and daily personal affairs.”可知，文化敏感性在对生意和个人事务上的交流有帮助。故选D。 C.Fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺。每空格限填一词，首字母已给）（14 分） I used to walk around the store with my parents often begging for something. I remember the sight of all the colourful bags of chips and candy that I asked my parents to buy for me. I cannot remember a time when I didn’t beg for something at the store. When I was about twelve years old, my dad always r 51 my begging and told me with a frustrated(使人挫败的) face, “You can waste all the money as you want when you have a job.” I listened, but I never really heard the m 52 he was trying to get across to me. S 53 I wanted so many things and my parents were not going to buy them for me, I decided to make money as a babysitter myself. I remember the feeling of getting new money in my pocket, then throwing it out within the next week. A few years later, I was a freshman in high school and did not feel like looking for a new job. One day, I saw people handing out flyers(传单) at school. I wasn’t i 54 at first because I thought I was fine making money by babysitting. But once I s 55 thought about the money I could make, I applied to work as a lifeguard advertised on the flyer. After a few months’ training, I could finally start the job. But the more money I made, the l 56 I wanted to spend. As the work and pay i 57 , so did my responsibilities with money. Instead of wasting my money on useless things, I started saving up.

Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）：（ 12 分） Julia Hill, an American woman, was born in 1974. She was 23 years old when she discovered that a company wanted to cut down part of a forest in California. In the forest there were lots of redwood trees. One of the trees was 70 metres tall and 1,000 years old. Julia wasn’t happy about this. She traveled to California and climbed up the tree. “If I sit in the tree,” she said, “the company can’t cut it down.” At the beginning, Julia planned to stay in the tree for two weeks. She lived in a small tree-house and her friends were very helpful—they cooked food for her every day. She used her mobile phone to talk to her family and to news reporters. She stayed in the tree day and night. Environmental organizations supported her, but other people weren’t on her side and they tried to stop her. The company used a helicopter that stayed near her tree-house for a long time. The helicopter was very noisy and there was a lot of wind. Julia didn’t like it, but she stayed in the tree. In the end, she was successful. The company agreed not to cut down the redwood. Finally, after two years and eight days in the tree, Julia Hill climbed down and walked on the ground again. She and her friends were very happy. 58．What nationality is Julia Hill? 59．How tall and how old was the tree Julia Hill stayed in? 60．How did she keep in touch with others while staying high up in the tree? 61．When did she climb down the tree? 62．How long did Julia Hill stay in the tree? 63．Why did Julia Hill stay in the tree? 【答案】58．American / She is from America. 59．The tree was 70 meters tall and 1000 years old. 60．She kept in touch with others by mobile phone / by using a mobile phone. 61．After the company agreed not to cut down the red wood / tree (s). 62．For two years and eight days. 63．She wanted to protect the tree (s) / the environment / the forest / stop the company from cutting the tree (s). 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了茱莉亚·希文为了保护红杉，住到了树上，最终成功的故事。 58．根据第一段“Julia Hill, an American woman, was born in 1974.”可知，茱莉亚·希文是一名美国女性，出生于1974年。故填American / She is from America. 59．根据第一段“One of the trees was 70 metres tall and 1,000 years old.”可知，这棵树高70米，有1000岁。故填The tree was 70 meters tall and 1000 years old. 60．根据第二段“She used her mobile phone to talk to her family and to news reporters.”可知，她用手机和家人以及新闻记者交谈。故填She kept in touch with others by mobile phone / by using a mobile phone. 61．根据最后一段“The company agreed not to cut down the redwood... Julia Hill climbed down and walked on the ground again.”可知，公司同意不砍伐红杉后，茱莉亚·希文从树上爬下来，再次行走在了地上。故填After the company agreed not to cut down the red wood / tree (s). 62．根据最后一段“Finally, after two years and eight days in the tree...”可知，茱莉亚·希文在树上待了两年零八天。故填For two years and eight days. 63．根据全文内容可知，茱莉亚·希文为了保护红杉，避免红杉被砍伐才一直待在树上。故填She wanted to protect the tree (s) / the environment / the forest / stop the company from cutting the tree (s).

There are two men in important positions in my office — Mr. Thompson and Mr. White. Everyone enjoys working with Mr. Thompson, but no one likes Mr. White. Mr. Thompson is always kind and patient. When he wants something done, he’ll ask. “Would you mind getting this information for me, please?” Mr. White is just the opposite. He usually shouts across the room, “Get me the papers, and hurry up.” But Mr. White surprised us this morning. At first we thought he must be sick. He was kind and polite. “Miss Erickson,” he asked, “if it isn’t too much trouble for you, could you please make these telephone calls for me?” June Erickson was too surprised to say a word. Right after that, Mr. White said, “Miss Reed, would you be so kind as to open the window? It’s quite warm in here.” Then he turned to me, “I’d appreciate very much if you’d mail these letters for me.” We couldn’t imagine why he was behaving so strangely. Should we give him some medicine? Or should we send him to the hospital? The situation was soon cleared up. “Ladies,” Mr. Thompson said, “I’ve been told that the president （总裁） of our company will be here soon. He’s very interested in the welfare （福利） of his employees （雇员） and will have some question to ask you about that.” 39．The writer works in a ________ .

B.Choose the best answer and complete the passage （选择最恰当的选项完成短文）（12 分） Choose the best answer and complete the passage (选择最恰当的选项完成短文) In high school and college, you may be encouraged to travel or study abroad. Perhaps you are too busy with your schoolwork to 45 consider these chances. I encourage traveling at a young age. The earlier you travel widely, the more you can learn. As young people, most of us live with mom and dad. Our community knows us well, too. The idea of 46 this comfort zone can be scary. However, one learns the most in strange situations. In our daily life, we know well how to act and respond to people. But how about being in a new place, with strangers who hold different values? It can be uncomfortable at first. But once you work out that, you can connect with people in spite of differences, you become 47 and more confident. You should learn to face this discomfort. It will help you to grow. By traveling wide and far, you will also develop cultural sensitivity (文化敏感性). Being culturally sensitive is very important. And it is not enough to just know “People from that country are like this.” When I was in Spain, 48 , I found the people there took a two-hour break in the middle of their workday. Many foreigners consider the Spanish people 49 . Few of them know people there place great value on family time. To the Spanish people, eating together as a family is more important than anything else. Cultural sensitivity will help you with your 50 on both business and daily personal affairs. Finally, I’d like to mention that travelling abroad will be a wonderful way to learn a new language. Being in a new language learning environment, you will have to use the language. In this way, you will make your language skills better. 45．A．seriously B．briefly C．politely D．suddenly 46．A．taking charge of B．preparing for C．pointing out D．getting out of 47．A．smarter B．healthier C．richer D．luckier 48．A．in a word B．of course C．for example D．at last 49．A．fair B．lazy C．honest D．pure 50．A．attraction B．experience C．influence D．communication C.Fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺。每空格限填一词，首字母已给）（14 分） I used to walk around the store with my parents often begging for something. I remember the sight of all the colourful bags of chips and candy that I asked my parents to buy for me. I cannot remember a time when I didn’t beg for something at the store. When I was about twelve years old, my dad always r 51 my begging and told me with a frustrated(使人挫败的) face, “You can waste all the money as you want when you have a job.” I listened, but I never really heard the m 52 he was trying to get across to me. S 53 I wanted so many things and my parents were not going to buy them for me, I decided to make money as a babysitter myself. I remember the feeling of getting new money in my pocket, then throwing it out within the next week. A few years later, I was a freshman in high school and did not feel like looking for a new job. One day, I saw people handing out flyers(传单) at school. I wasn’t i 54 at first because I thought I was fine making money by babysitting. But once I s 55 thought about the money I could make, I applied to work as a lifeguard advertised on the flyer. After a few months’ training, I could finally start the job. But the more money I made, the l 56 I wanted to spend. As the work and pay i 57 , so did my responsibilities with money. Instead of wasting my money on useless things, I started saving up. I finally realized that money meant so much more to me because I was the one working for it. Now, I have 5,000 dollars in my bank account, and I limit myself to what I buy.
