I travel a lot in my work, and what I dislike about my job is eating alone. It always makes me feel lonely to see others laughing and talking. So, room service for several nights was a better choice for me.

After having room service three nights at a hotel in Houston, however, I needed to get out of my room. Although the restaurant opened at 6:30, I arrived at 6:25. The waiter at the front desk made a comment about my being there really early. I explained my dislike of eating alone in restaurants. He then seated me at a lovely table and asked me whether I would mind if he sat down with me for a while.

I was glad! He sat and talked with me about his career goals and the difficulty of being at work on nights, weekends and holidays. He said he hadn’t enough time to be with his family. After 15 minutes, he saw some customers at the front desk and excused himself. I noticed that before he went to the front desk, he stopped in the kitchen for a moment.  

Then another waiter came out of the kitchen and had a wonderful chat with me. Before I left that night, some other waiters, even the cook, had come out of the kitchen and sat with me!

When I asked for my bill about one hour later, all the people who had sat down with me came over in a big group to my table, and presented me with a red rose. And I cried! What had begun as a lonely night ended as a beautiful experience.

21. The reason why the author hated to eat in the hotel restaurant is that the author didn’t like ____________.

B. being disturbed by the noises around

C. meeting strangers in the restaurant

D. being pointed at or laughed at

23. From the third paragraph, we can learn that the waiter at the front desk ____________.

B. found it hard to balance his work and his family

C. was getting tired of his present job

D. had never had such a chance to talk about his worries

If you are a recent social science graduate who has had to listen to jokes about unemployment from your computer major classmates, you may have had the last laugh. There are many advantages for the social science major because this high-tech Information Age demands people who are flexible and who have good communication skills.

There are many social science majors in large companies who fill important positions. For example, a number of research studies found that social science majors had achieved greater managerial success than those who had technical training or pre-professional courses. Studies show that social science majors are most suited for change, which is the leading feature(特点) of the kind of high-speed, high-pressure, high-tech world we now live in.

Social science majors are not only experiencing success in their long-term company jobs, but they are also finding jobs more easily. A study showed that many companies had filled a large percentage of their entry-level positions with social science graduates. The study also showed that the most sought-after quality in a person who was looking for a job was communication skills, noted as very important, by 92 percent of the companies. Social science majors have these skills, often without knowing how important they are. It is probably due to these skills that they have been offered a wide variety of positions.

Finally, although some social science majors may still find it more difficult than their technically trained classmates to land the first job, recent graduates report that they don’t regret their choice of study.

25. By saying that you may have had the last laugh in the first paragraph, the author means that you may have ____________.

A. shared the jokes with computer majors   B. earned as much as computer majors

C. stopped joking about computer majors   D. found jobs more easily than computer majors

26. Compared with graduates of other subjects, social science graduates ____________.

   A. are ready to change when situations change    B. are better able to deal with difficulties

   C. are equally good at computer skills           D. are likely to give others pressure

27. The underlined word land in the last paragraph probably means ____________.

   A. keep for some time   B. successfully get    C. immediately start   D. lose regretfully

28. According to the text, what has made it easy for social science graduates to find jobs?

   A. Willingness to take low-paid jobs.          B. Readiness to gain high-tech knowledge.

   C. Skills in expressing themselves.            D. Part-time work experience.

D

Encouraging early reading skills can build a path to a lifelong love of reading and can help your child get a head start in school. While reading to your child is still the most important thing you can do to build reading skills, there are many techniques that can help.

Make reading fun. Play games with your child as you read. Many traditional children’s games can be adapted to encourage reading skills. While reading or during play, tell your child, I spy with my little eye, something that begins with the letter ‘b’. Help the child find something on the page or in the room that begins with that letter. For example, I see a barn. This can also be used to teach beginning letter sounds. I spy with my little eye, something that begins with the sound‘s’. Help the child find a word that begins with the s sound.

In this variation(变化) on the popular game, instruct the child that, Simon says, ‘point to something that starts with the letter ‘n’.’ The child can then find an object in the room or a body part, such as the nose, that starts with the letter presented. This can also be used to teach beginning sounds.

Make a game out of rhyming (押韵) words by making up silly words to rhyme with the child’s name or favorite toys. This sets the stage for rhyming real words by showing the child the similarities of sounds. As the child masters making up the words, begin rhyming real words to one another.

Tips to raise a successful reader:

Put books in places where the child plays. If books are easily accessible, children are more likely to pick them up.

Let children read to you by looking at pictures. Making up stories to go along with illustrations helps children discover how words relate to pictures.

Take books along on trips or even short visits to the doctor’s office or grocery store.

Have children help you shop. Reading grocery lists and looking for specific items help build vocabulary.

32. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. A good reading habit can benefit your child at school.

B. Computer games help children develop reading skills.

C. You should be careful as for what books to read.

D. Children enjoy reading poems to their parents.

33. What can we conclude from the text?

A. The most important thing is to make reading funny.

B. Children have a preference for stories with pictures.

C. Rhyming games should begin only with real words.

D. Children tend to read more if books are at hand.

34. What message does the author deliver in the passage?

A. Interest is the best teacher

B. Practice makes perfect

C. Good methods are half done

D. Failure teaches success

35. What are the intended readers of the text?

A. Parents.      

B. Children     

C. Educators.     

D. People in general.  

第二节：信息匹配 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Once my mother told me a story. In Africa, when an antelope wakes up every morning, the first thing it thinks about is, I must be able to run faster than the fastest lion, or I will be killed.   _36   The first thing the lion thinks about is, I must be able to catch the slowest antelope, or I will starve to death. So, almost at the same time, they get up and start running toward the rising sun.

This is life: full of chances and challenges.  37   For students, it is just the same. If we do not study hard, sooner or later, we will fall behind the other students. At first, I did not know what the word exam meant. Later, I knew an exam was a kind of competition. In competitions, there are always winners and losers. As I grew up, I got to know competition well.   38  

Each time I saw children playing games, and heard their laughter, I wished I were that age again.   39   So I picked up my pen and began to study hard again.

I was still not sure what competition really meant. One day, I was taking part in an English-speaking competition. When I went to the stage, I saw other students looking at me kindly. __40  It is not as cruel as my teacher and parents told me. In fact, competition is the opposite: it is kind and necessary.

At the same time, a lion wakes from his dream.

I suddenly knew what competition was.

Now I understand more about the world.

In one’s life, there must be competitions, so people can improve.

I learned a lot from realizing this fact.

However, I remembered my parents’ words: You must work very hard in order to  

have a good future.

Whether you are an antelope or a lion, you must go ahead when the sun rises.

My swimming experience is extreme interesting. There was a time when I swim like a rock. This went on till one day that I was fishing with a friend of mine at nearby pond. I slipped into one. If my friend had not come to my rescue, I would have been drowned. Ever since then, I had come to know the importance of learning to swim. I decided to learn to swim. I didn’t attend to any training class but learned it all for myself. And now I have no difficulty swimming at all. Because the way I swim looks awkward (笨拙的), at least it can keep me floating.

作文范文

Dear Tom,

Nice to have received your e-mail. I’d like to tell you about my favorite sport, table tennis, which is the most popular sport in China.

At the age of six, I began to learn to play table tennis from my parents, who are good at it. Since then, I’ve fallen in love with it and spent most of my free time learning to play it. Now I often practice playing table tennis with my friends and coach in my spare time. With time going on, I have learned many practical skills and won the first place in my school.

In my opinion, not only does the sport help me build up my body, train my brains and keep me confident, but also it helps me make a lot of friends. Therefore, I like it best.

Sincerely yours,

                                                      Li Hua
