The measure of a man's real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out. ---Thomas Macaulay Some thirty years ago, I was studying in a public school in New York. One day, Mrs Nanette O'Neill gave an arithmetic 36 to our class. When the papers were 37 she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the same mistakes throughout the test. There is nothing really new about 38 in exams. Perhaps that was why Mrs O'Neill didn’t even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to 39 after class. I was one of the twelve. Mrs O'Neill asked 40 questions, and she didn't 41 us either. Instead, she wrote on the blackboard the 42 words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to 43 these words into our exercise-books one hundred times. I don't know about the other eleven boys. Speaking for 44 I can say:it was the most important single 45 of my life. Thirty years after being introduced to Macaulay's words, they 46 seem to me the best yardstick(准绳), because they give us a way to _47____ourselves rather than others. 48 of us are asked to make 49 decisions about nations going to war of armies going to battle. But all of us are called 50 daily to make a great many personal decisions. 51 the wallet, found in the street, be put into a pocket or turned over to the policeman? Should the 52 change received at the store be forgotten or 53 ? Nobody will know except 54 . But you have to live with yourself, and it is always 55 to live with someone you respect. 1.A. test B. problem C. paper D. lesson 2.A. examined B. completed C. marked D. answered 3. A. lying B. cheating C. guessing D. discussing 4.A. come B. leave C. remain D. apologize 5.A. no B. certain C. many D. more 6.A. excuse B. shout C. help D. scold 7.A. above B. common C. following D. unusual 8.A. repeat B. get C. put D. copy 9.A. myself B. ourselves C. themselves D. herself 10.A. chance B. incident C. lesson D. memory 11.A. even B. still C. always D. almost 12.A. measure B. respect C. love D. believe 13.A.

“Can I see my baby？” the happy new mother asked. When the bundle was in her arms and she moved the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face, she gasped. The doctor turned quickly and looked out of the tall hospital window. The baby had been born without ears. Time proved that the baby’ s hearing was perfect. It was only his appearance that was imperfect. When he rushed home from school one day and threw himself into his mother’s arms, she sighed(叹息), knowing that his life was to be misfortunate. He cried to his mum “A boy, a big boy... called me a freak (怪人)．” He grew up, handsome. A favorite with his fellow students, he might have been class president, but for that. He developed a gift, a talent for literature and music. “But you might communicate with other young people，” his mother blamed him, but felt a kindness in her heart. Two years went by. One day, his father said to the son, “You’ re going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need. But it’ s a secret.” The operation was a great success, and a new person appeared. Later he married and became a lawyer. One day, he asked his father, “Who gave me the ears? Who gave me so much? I could never do enough for him or her.” “I do not believe you could，” said the father, “but the agreement was that you are not to know... not yet.” The years kept their secret, but the day did come. He stood with his father over his mother’ s casket棺材. Slowly, tenderly, the father stretched forth a hand and raised the thick, reddish brown hair to show the mother had no outer ears. “Mother said she was glad she never let her hair be cut，” his father whispered gently, “and nobody ever thought Mother less beautiful, did they？” 1.Why did Mother gasp when she saw her newborn baby? A. Because her son had a tiny face. B. Because she saw her son crying. C. Because her son was born imperfect. D. Because her son was in her arms. 2.Which word can describe Mother’ s feeling when the son threw himself into her arms? A. Nervous. B. Sympathetic. C. Proud. D. Angry. 3.We can infer that the person who donate the ears is_____. A. A doctor. B. His father. C. His mother. D. A stranger. 4.From the passage we know the followings are True except________ A, the mother felt sorry for the son without ears B. the doctor didn’t like the baby C. the boy meant everything to the mother D. the father kept the secret until mother died 5.The best title for the passage would be ________.

America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect （影响） American society in many ways --- education, medicine, and business. Quietly, the graying of America has made us a very different society - one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior （行为）is suitable （合适） at different ages. A person's age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position, marriage or health. There's no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn't as strong as it used to be. It doesn't surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing. Many people say, ‘I am much younger than my mother - or my father - was at my age.’ No one says ‘Act your age’ anymore. We've stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways. 1.From the passage, we know in America____. A. they used to go to school or stop work at a certain age B. people won’t tell you their social position C. the children no longer go to school. D. people hold the old ideas about the age as before 2.It can be learnt from the text that the aging of the population in America . A. has made people feel younger B. has changed people's social position C. has changed people's understanding of age D. has slowed down the country's social development 3.The underlined word ‘one’ refers to . A. a society B. America C. a place D. population 4.‘Act your age’ means people should _______ . A. be active when they are old B. do the right thing at the right age C. show respect for their parents young or old D. take more physical exercise suitable to their age 5. If a 25-year-old man becomes general manager of a big firm, the writer of the text would most probably consider it . A. normal B. wonderful C. unbelievable D. unreasonable

“Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity，” said the American talk show host Oprah Winfrey. I’ ve never watched her show, but when a self-made billionaire gives life advice it’ s probably worth listening to. Her point is that blind luck is very rare. You may have to be lucky to find a good job these days but that does not mean you should sit at home waiting for the opportunity to come to you. If you’ re a Chinese，you may already be familiar with the tale of a farmer waiting by a tree stump (树桩) for a rabbit to run out and break its neck. A book by the UK psychologist Richard Wiseman, called The Luck Factor, argues we can all make ourselves luckier. It’ s not about going to a temple to burn some incense (香) in hopes that the gods will give you good fortune; it’ s practical advice you can follow each day. Wiseman conducted an experiment as part of his studies. First he divided volunteers into two groups：those who said they were lucky in life and those who said they were not. He gave everyone a newspaper and asked them to look through it to count how many photographs it had inside. On average, the unlucky people took about two minutes to count the photographs while the lucky people took just seconds. Why? On the second page of the newspaper, a command, “Stop counting. There are 43 photographs in this newspaper，” was written in big letters. The unlucky people mostly did not spot the message. It’s easy to compare this situation to a young person looking for jobs in a local paper. They might search so hard for one type of position that they miss an even better opportunity. People who are “lucky”， in fact, keep an open mind and don’t go through the same routine every day. I first came to China in 2002 when it was considered a rather strange thing to do. Like many foreigners，my plan was to teach English for one year. Seven years later, and still here, I’ ve had many great opportunities such as writing for newspapers and magazines. I did not dream these would have been possible. I’ ve also never been sick, had an accident, got into a fight or had problems with the police. Coincidence(巧合)? After reading about Professor Wiseman’ s studies I think not. As Wiseman advises, I usually trust my own judgment. Your friends and parents may give you advice based on rational (理性)thinking, but it’s important to consider how you feel about each choice you make. Your feeling acts as a warning for a potential （潜在）problem. Finally, try to turn bad luck into good. Even if you do fall down and break a leg, the time spent at home can be used wisely to study English. 1.Which of the following proverbs most agrees with the writer’ s point? A. Make the best of a bad job. B. Rome was not built in a day. C. All is not gold that glitters. D. A good heart conquers ill fortune. 2.What do you know about Oprah Winfrey? A. She became famous through her family background. B. She was very lucky and seldom suffered setbacks （挫折）in her life. C. She is a British talk show host. D. She became successful by her own effort. 3.The writer quoted（引用） the Chinese tale of a farmer in order to show________. A. luck is in your own hand B. bad luck can turn into good C. you should not sit at home waiting for the opportunity to come to you D. man can conquer nature 4.From the experiment Wiseman drew the conclusion that________. A. lucky people are quick-minded B. unlucky people are slow to read C. lucky people often have an open mind D. unlucky people are more creative 5.The underlined word “spot” is the closest in meaning to“________”． A. discover B. mark C. make D. receive

阅读下面的短文，请根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的字数要求） People who drink a little, exercise, give up smoking and eat five servings of fruit and vegetables each day live on average 14 years longer than people who have none of these behaviors, researchers said on Tuesday . A collection of evidence has shown that these things contribute to healthier and longer lives, but the new study actually proved their mixed effect, the British team said. “These results may provide further support for the idea that even small differences in lifestyle may make a big difference to health, ” the researchers wrote in the journal PLOS Medicine. Between 1993 and 1997 the researchers questioned 20，000 healthy British men and women about their lifestyles. They also tested every participant’s(参与者) blood to measure vitamin C intake, an indicator（指标）of how much fruit and vegetables people ate. Then they assigned(分配,分派)the participants---aged 45-79 a score of between 0 and 4，giving one point for each of the healthy behaviors. After allowing for age and other factors(因素) that could affect the likelihood of dying, the researchers found people with a score of 0 four times as likely to die. The researchers, who tracked deaths among the participants until 2006，also said a person with a health score of 0 had the same risk of dying as someone with score of 4 who was 14 years older. The lifestyle change with the biggest benefit was _____________________ ,which led to an 80 percent improvement in health, the study found. This was followed by eating fruits and vegetables. Drinking a little and keeping active brought the same benefits, Kay-Tee Khaw at the University of Cambridge said. Do you have the four healthy living habits? 1. What is the best title of the passage?（within 10 words）） ____________ ____________________________________________. 2.Complete the following statement with proper words.( no more than 3 words) _______ _ is an important figure to show how much fruit and vegetables people ate. 3. Fill in the blank in the last paragraph with a proper sentence.（within 3 words） ______________________________________________ ________ _. 4.What should be encouraged according to the result of the research?（within 10 words） ______________________________________________ ________ _. 5.What does the words “ these things”( Line 3, Paragraph 1) probably refer to? (no more than 15 words) ______________________________________________ ________ _.
