三、完形填空（共30分） In this modern world, we rush around all day, doing things, talking, sending and reading message. We are always on, always connected, always thinking, always talking. There is no 36 for stillness. And when we are 37 to be still because we’re in line for something, or waiting at a doctor’s appointment, or on a bus or train, we often 38 something to do. Some will play with mobile devices, others will read something. Being still isn’t something we’re 39 . This comes at a 40 : we lose that time for 41 , for observing and listening. We lose peace. And 42 yet: sometimes too much action is worse than no action at all. You can run around crazily, but get 43 done. Take a moment to think about 44 you spend your days. Are you constantly rushing around? Are you constantly reading and answering 45 checking on the news and the latest stream of information? Are you always 46 through your schedule? Is this how you want to spend your 47 ? If so, peace be with you. If not, take a moment to be 48 . Don’t think about what you have to do, or what you’ve done already. 49 be in the moment. Then after a minute or two of doing that, consider your life, and how you’d 50 it to be. See your life with less movement, less doing, less rushing. See it with more stillness, more consideration, more 51 . Then be that vision. It’s pretty simple: all you have to do is sit still for a little bit each day. 52 you’ve gotten used to that, try doing less each day. Breathe when you feel yourself moving too 53 . slow down. Be present. Find happiness now, in this moment, instead of 54 for it. 55 the stillness. It’s a treasure, and it’s available to us, always. 36. A .place B. chance C. freedom D. time 37. A. forced B. ordered C . invited D. told 38. A. have B. find C. buy D. get 39. A. familiar with B. curios about C. used to D. interested in 40.

A. how B. where C. why D. whether 45. A. questions B. problems C. phones D. messages 46. A. walking B. rushing C. stepping D. going 47. A. school B. youth C. work D. life 48.

四、阅读理解（共40分） A Linda Evans was my best friend －like the sister I never had. We did everything together: piano lessons, movies, swimming, and horseback riding. When I was 13, my family moved away. Linda and I kept in touch through letters, and we saw each other on special time －like my wedding and Linda’s. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back, stamped “Address Unknown”. I had no idea how to find Linda. Over the years, I missed Linda very much, I wanted to share stories of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my sadness when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill. One day I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked a lot like Linda and whose last name was Wagman－ Linda’s married name. “There must be thousands of Wagmans,” I thought, but I still wrote to her. She called as soon as she got my letter. “Mrs. Tobin!” she said excitedly, “Linda Evans Wagman is my mother.” Minutes later I heard a voice that I knew very much, even after 40 years, laughed and cried and caught up on each other’s lives. Now the empty place in my heart is filled, and there’s one thing that Linda and I know for sure: we won’t lose each other again! 56. The writer went to piano lessons with Linda Evans_______.

C Attitude isn’t quite everything when it comes to being successful, but attitude plays a part in every stage of your life. A poor attitude gets more people fired than any other single factor, and a good attitude gets people jobs and helps them keep those jobs more than any other factor. Your attitude affects many people, from your family to the stranger on the street corner. Your attitude is particularly important when you face seemingly hopeless situations. Losing a job or friend because of a poor attitude is unfortunate －especially because a bad attitude can be fixed. You can find at least two ways to look at everything. A pessimist ( 悲观主义者) looks for difficulty in the opportunity, while an optimist looks for opportunity in difficulty . A poet of long ago put the difference between optimism and pessimism this way: Two men looked out from prison bars －one saw mud; the other saw stars. Unfortunately, many people look only at the problem and not at the opportunity that lies within the problem. Many employees complain about the difficulty of their jobs, for example, not realizing that if the job were simple, the employer would hire someone with less ability at a lower wage. A small coin can hide even the sun if you hold the coin close enough to your eye. So when you get too close to your problems, to think objectively(客观地 ) about them, try to keep in mind how your vision can be obstructed. Take a step back, and look at the situation from a new angle. You can’t do anything to change the fact that a problem exists, but you can do a great deal to find the opportunity within that problem. You’re guaranteed a better tomorrow by doing your best today and developing a plan of action for the tomorrows that lie ahead. Just remember to maintain a positive mental attitude. 64. What does the author mean by saying the first sentence in Paragraph 1? A. If you have a good attitude, you will be successful. B. Your attitude makes a great influence on your life. C. Your attitude has nothing to do with your success. D. Your success is very important to your life. 65. In Paragraph 3, the author shows us_________. A. two ways to look at everything B. the definition of pessimist and optimist C. the ways to look for opportunity D. the ways to look out from prison bars 66. The author mentions the example of many employees in Paragraph 4 to tell people to_____. A. ignore the problem B. look for opportunity in the problem C. wait for the problem to be solved D. make their jobs easy to do 67. The underline word “obstructed” in Paragraph 4 probably means________. A. blocked B. dropped C. improved D. Shared

E Every child is unique and has interests and wants that are specific to him or her. As parents of many children, it takes a lot of effort to identify the special qualities of each child and use them to be an effective influence in their young lives. What’s more , parents need to work to guide each child into their place in the family and make sure that the child is content and able to grow as a person. Establishing tasks in the home for each child helps begin to lay relational boundaries in place. Each child should have an area that becomes his or hers to maintain. Household chores (家务活 ) fall into this category. However, an order for answering the phone or doorbell can also be a task. Reward each accomplished task in small ways like a compliment ( 赞扬). Money is not as effective as personal attention. Don’t buy a gift or treat for one without including the others. Even on birthdays give every child a small gift that they can enjoy opening while the birthday child opens his or her pile of gifts or larger gift. It’s not a really pricey thing. Our children never felt left out at the other child’s birthday or special occasion. When buying clothes or other necessities, it can often be too much of a budget strain ( 紧张) to buy everything for all at once. Make sure every child understands that their turn will come. If you buy back to school clothes, be certain to have each one a new outfit to wear by the first day of school. Start early so each child can receive parental attention before heading out. Don’t fall into the trap of bragging ( 夸耀) on A’s by a smart or overachieving child and ignoring the C’s of a average child. Encourage them to do their best and brag on their best , not the letter grade received. 72. The passage is intended for________. A. the only child in a family B. the children who have sisters or brothers C. the parents with more than one child D. the parents with only one child 73.According to the passage, if a child does a good job at home, parents should__________ A. buy him /her a gift as soon as possible B. try to take good care of him /her C. give him /her some money as a reward D. give him /her praise 74. On birthdays the author would like to_____. A. give each child a small gift B. give the birthday child a gift only C. give all children gifts except the birthday child D. give the birthday child smaller gifts than others 75. What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the passage? A. Children should learn to do housework. B. Be fair while making each child feel special. C. Parents should encourage their children as much as possible. D. Parents should buy their children new clothes before the first day of school.
