A woman renewing her driver’s license at the County Clerk’s office was asked to state her occupation. She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself. “What I mean is,” explained the recorder, “do you have a job, or are you just a …” “Of course I have a job,” said Emily. “I’m a mother.” “We don’t list ‘mother’ as an occupation… ‘housewife’ covers it,” said the recorder. One day I found myself in the same situation. The clerk was obviously a career woman, confident and possessed of a high sounding title．“What is your occupation?” she asked. The words simply popped out. “I’m a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.” The clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in midair. I repeated the title slowly, and then I stared with wonder as my statement was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire. “Might I ask,” said the clerk with new interest, “Just what you do in this field?” Coolly, without any trace of panic in my voice, I heard myself reply, “I have a continuing program of research (what mother doesn’t）, in the lab and in the field (normally I would have said indoors and out). Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities (any mother care to disagree?), and I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). But the job is more challenging than most careers and rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.” There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk’s voice as she completed the form, stood up, and showed me out. As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up (依托) by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants—ages 13, 7, and 3. Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (a 6 month old baby), in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern． I felt proud! I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable (不可缺少的) to mankind than “just another mother.” Motherhood…What a glorious career! Especially when there’s a title on the door. 41. What can be inferred from the conversation between the woman and the recorder? A. The recorder was impatient and rude. B. The woman felt ashamed to admit what her job was. C. The author was upset about the situation that mothers faced. D. Motherhood was not recognized and respected as a job by society. 42. How did the female clerk feel at first when the author told her occupation? A. curious B. indifferent C. puzzled D. interested 43. How did the author feel when describing her job to the clerk? A. calm B. ambitious C. confident D. cool 44. Why did the woman clerk show more respect for the author? A. Because the author cared little about rewards. B. Because she thought the author did admirable work. C. Because she admired the author’s research work in the lab. D. Because the writer did something she had little knowledge of. 45. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage? A. To show how you describe your job affects your feelings toward it. B. To argue that motherhood is a worthy career and deserves respect. C. To show that the author had a grander job than Emily. D. To show that being a mother is hard and boring work.

Some children are natural-born bosses. They have a strong need to make decisions, manage their environment, and lead rather than follow. Stephen Jackson, a Year One student, “operates under the theory of what’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine,” says his mother. “The other day I bought two new Star Wars light sabers (剑). Later, I saw Stephen with the two new ones while his brother was using the beat-up ones.” “Examine the extended family, and you’ll probably find a bossy grandparent, aunt, uncle or cousin in every generation. It’s an inheritable trait,” says Russell Barkley, a professor at the Medical University of South Carolina. Other children who may not be particularly bossy can gradually gain dominance when they sense their parents are weak, hesitant, or in disagreement with each other. Whether it’s inborn nature or developed character at work, too much control in the hands of the young isn’t healthy for children or the family. Fear is at the root of a lot of bossy behavior, says family psychologist John Taylor. Children, he says in his book From Defiance to Cooperation, “have secret feelings of weakness” and “a desire to feel safe.” It’s the parents’ role to provide that protection. When a “boss child” doesn’t learn limits at home, the stage is set for a host of troubles outside the family. The overly willful and unbending child may have trouble obeying teachers or coaches, for example, or trouble keeping friends. It can be pretty lonely as the top dog if no one likes your bossy ways. “I see more and more parents giving up their power,” says Barkley, who has studied bossy behavior for more than 30 years. “They bend too far because they don’t want to be as strict as their own parents were. But they also feel less confident about their parenting skills. Their kids, in turn, feel more anxious.” 46. What do you think of bossy children like Stephen Jackson? A. They make good decisions. B. They lack care from others. C. They have little sense of fear. D. They show self-centeredness. 47. What does the underlined phrase “inheritable trait” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. inborn nature B. accepted theory C. developed character D. particular environment 48. What does the study on bossy behavior imply? A. Parents should give more power to their children. B. Parents should not be so anxious about their children. C. Parents should be strict with their children. D. Parents should not set limits for their children. 49. Bossy children may probably become . A. relaxed B. skillful C. hesitant D. lonely 50. What is the passage mainly about? A. How bossy behavior can be controlled. B. What leads to children’s bossy behavior. C. What effect bossy behavior brings about. D. How we can get along with bossy children.

“Soon, you’re going to have to move out!” cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind or at least known in my neighborhood. One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1.25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door. Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren’t for the pleasure they give, it wouldn’t be worth the work. As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year. Bushes must be pruned(剪枝) in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake. Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing(施肥) have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves. Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold; First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June. But they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light. Here I am faced with a painful small decision: To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind, I’ll think about that tomorrow. 51. What are the requirements for the healthy growth of rose? A. A lot of care and the right soil. B. Frequent pruning and fertilizing. C. Tomato plants grown alongside. D. Cages placed around the roots. 52. Why did the writer planted the tomato? A. Because it cost only $1.25. B. Because the soil was just right for it. C. Because there was room for it in the garden. D. Because the roses’ branches needed to be covered. 53. What happened to the writer’s roses this year? A. They were removed from the rose bed. B. They were picked along with the tomatoes. C. They were largely hidden under the tomato plant. D. They were mostly damaged by too much sunlight. 54. What’s the writer’s purpose by saying “the prize so dearly won” in paragraph? 5 A. To show the difficulty in picking the tomatoes. B. To show the hardship of growing the roses. C. To express her care for the tomatoes. D. To express her liking for the roses. 55. In the situation described in the text, one good thing is that ______. A. the roses cost the writer little money B. the writer has a daily harvest of tomatoes C. someone will help the writer make the decision D. the writer can now enjoy both the roses and tomatoes

Of all the famous English writers, probably the best known is William Shakespeare. He was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1564 on April the 23rd. His father was an important man in town so Shakespeare had a good upbringing. Shakespeare probably went to school (although no records survive to prove this) but not university. He got married when he was 18 to Anne Hathaway and the couple had 3 children. Shakespeare wrote 38 plays and 154 sonnets (a sonnet is a kind of poem). He began working in his home town of Stratford but by 1592 was writing in London. He became rich enough to buy a house in the capital and one in Stratford. He wrote sad stories called tragedies, like Romeo and Juliet, funny stories or comedies, romantic stories and stories about historical figures such as Julius Caesar. Shakespeare died on his birthday in 1616, almost 400 years ago. But why is his work still popular today? His work looked at common human themes, such as betrayal, murder, lust, power, ambition and love. These themes are as much a part of human nature today as they were all those years ago and are the themes we see in modern soap operas and Hollywood films. Even though his theatre, The Globe, burned down in 1613 it was rebuilt in London in 1997 and you can still see his plays performed there today. Shakespeare's influence on the English language can still be felt today. We talk about "fair play", meaning honest behaviour but this phrase was first used by Shakespeare. He coined the phrase "you can have too much of a good thing". And it was Shakespeare who came up with the expression to disappear "into thin air" which we still use today when we lose something. Shakespeare’s work has been translated into every major language in the world. And perhaps we'll still be as fascinated by his work 400 years from now as we've been for the last 400. 56. What can be learnt about Shakespeare from Paragraph 1? A. He wrote more English stories than other writers. B. His father was the richest in England at the time. C. He didn’t go to college because he married early. D. He was taken good care of when he was young. 57. How old was Shakespeare when he died? A. 18. B. 28. C. 49. D. 52. 58. What do we know about Shakespeare’s work? A. It covers different themes. B. It mainly talks about love. C. It is only shown in his theatre. D. It’s only about the life in London. 59. Why does the passage talk about the phrase “fair play”? A. To tell readers Shakespeare is an honest man. B. To show Shakespeare’s influence on English. C. To encourage people to invent more phrases. D. To let readers feel the beauty of Shakespeare. 60. What does the last paragraph want to tell us about Shakespeare’s work? A. It has been put into every language. B. It will be still popular in future. C. It will no longer be translated. D. It was not so popular as today.

Federal regulators Wednesday approved a plan to create a nationwide emergence alert system using text messages delivered to cell phones. Text messages have exploded in popularity in recent years, particularly among young people. The wireless industry's trade association, CTIA, estimates more than 48 billion text messages are sent each month. The plan comes from the Warning Alert and Response Network Act, a 2006 federal law that requires improvements to the nation's emergency alert system. The act tasked the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) with coming up with new ways to alert the public about emergencies. “The ability to deliver accurate and timely warnings and alerts through cell phones and other mobile services is an important next step in our efforts to help ensure that the American public has the information they need to take action to protect themselves and their families before, and during, disasters and other emergencies,” FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said following approval of the plan. Participation in the alert system by carriers—telecommunications companies is voluntary, but it has received solid support from the wireless industry. The program would be optional for cell phone users. They also may not be charged for receiving alerts. There would be three different types of messages, according to the rules. The first would be a national alert from the president, likely involving a terrorist attack or natural disaster. The second would involve “approaching threats,” which could include natural disasters like hurricanes or storms or even university shootings. The third would be reserved for child abduction (绑架) emergencies, or so-called Amber Alerts. The service could be in place by 2014. 61. What is the purpose of the approved plan? A. To warn people of emergencies via messages. B. To popularize the use of cell phones. C. To estimate the monthly number of messages. D. To promote the wireless industry. 62. The improvement to the present system is in the charge of ______. A. CTIA B. the Warning Alert and Response Network C. FCC D. federal regulators 63. Who determines the carriers’ participation in the system? A. The US federal government. B. The law of the United States. C. The carriers themselves. D. Mobile phone users. 64. Under which circumstance will an alert message not be sent? A. A child loses his way. B. A terrorist attack occurs. C. A natural disaster happens. D. A university shooting happens. 65. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Cell Phone Alerts Protecting Students. B. Cell Phone Alerts by Wireless Industry. C. Cell Phone Alerts of National Disasters. D. Cell Phone Alerts Coming Soon.

[1]Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is. [2]However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in. [3]This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it. [4]When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have _____________ a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway. [5]Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into. 66. List 3 reasons some people think for success according to Paragraph 1. (no more than 3 words) ①___________________________ ②__________________________③___________________________ 67. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to? (no more than 4 words) _________________________________________________________________________________________ 68. How many hours does a person need to spend at least to be really good at something? (no more than 2 words) _________________________________________________________________________________________ 69. Why do successful people suggest doing what one loves? (no more than 20 words) _________________________________________________________________________________________ 70. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4 with proper words. (no more than 3 words) _________________________________________________________________________________________ 71.
