First of all she had to work around their home. Later on Mary worked for other people. When Mary was 14 years old, her mother and father told her that they were no 22 going to buy her clothes. Sure, they would continue to buy shoes for her and also the special clothes like suits, but 23 else was her responsibility. Some people thought that they were 24, but they wanted to teach Mary some 25 lessons. One thing she learned was that nothing is cheap or 26. She learned how to deal with her money carefully. Another thing she learned was 27 to keep from wearing out(穿破)her clothes too fast. Also, even 28 Mary went to school she was 29 to work. All through her high school and 30 years she worked as well as studied. Mary’s parents had plenty of 31 but they felt she would 32 her education more if she had to 33 it.

One day after she retired, she went to the bank and discovered that her small monthly 37 had grown to over$150,000. Then to everyone’s surprise, she turned around and 38 almost all of the money to the University of Southern Mississippi (USM) for a 39 fund for students with financial needs. Immediately, she made national 40 . What you have not heard is how Osceola’s gift had 41 my life. I am 19 years old and the first 42 of an Osceola McCarty Scholarship. I was a 43 student, and I was determined to go to USM. But I 44 being qualified for a regular scholarship by one point on the entrance exams, and a scholarship was the 45 way I could attend. One Sunday, I came across the story in the paper about Osceola McCarty and her generous 46 . The next day I went to the financial aid office, and they told me there was still no money 47 for me, but if anything came up they’d call. A few days later, I was going out with my mother 48 the phone rang. I was told I had been chosen to be given the first Osceola McCarty Scholarship. I was 49 ! McCarty worked hard her whole life, washing clothes by hand. Now that she is 50 , she sits most of the day and reads the Bible, that is, when she is not getting rewards. Every time I go to visit her, she has a new 51 . She’s even gone to the White House. She is so happy and proud. We have tried to talk her into getting a VCR (录像机) so she can tape the programs and see 52 on TV—she just smiles. McCarty gave me much more than a scholarship. She taught me about the gift of 53 . Now I know there are good people in the world who do good things. She worked hard and helped others, and in turn she has inspired me to 54 when I can some day.

D I don’t like getting up too early unless I have to. When you’re filming, you’ve got make-up on, which doesn’t happen often. As I’m not filming at present I’ll get up at 8.30. Work normally means Matt coming over to my house about 10 am. We’re writing at the moment. We’ll chat for a bit before going to my study. One of us will have an idea for a sketch (梗概), we’ll talk about the characters and when we feel we have enough we’ll start writing. Matt and I met at the National Youth Theatre in 1990 and started doing shows together in ’95, at the Edinburgh Fringe festival. We know we’re onto something if we’ve made each other laugh, and that’s a really special moment. It’s not always like that, but we’re comfortable enough with each other that we can be honest and go. Some days you’re not in the mood to be funny—like writing when my dad was dying of cancer, or when Matt was separating from his partner. We stop for lunch and sometimes go to Wagamama in Camden, but the last time we were followed by paparazzi (狗仔队), which gets you down—who wants to be pictured eating noodles? When I’m not writing with Matt I work on other projects. My second children’s book comes out later in the year. It’s called Mr. Stink. The first one I dedicated to my three-year-old nephew, Eddie. Both books have been illustrated by Quentin Blake; it’s been a thrill to work with him—like 20 years ago reading a Roald Dahl book and looking at those drawings, then one day that person illustrates your work… magical. At 5 I go swimming in Soho. My trainer makes me do horrible exercises, but I always feel better after. Being in all day, I like to go out in the evening and look smart, but not like I’ve come out of the City. I’m a tall, broad guy and well-dressed. For dinner I’ll meet friends. When you’re a single guy it’s great to have some good female friends. Or I might take my mum to the theatre, as I know she really appreciates it. I like watching TV comedy shows to see what everyone’s doing. When you see something impressive it makes you work harder. I also love Larkin’s poems: they don’t try to transcend (超越) the commonplace; they’re much more straightforward. Poetry is great to dip into before going to bed, rather than falling asleep reading a novel and being confused over what you’ve read or not. I haven’t had a good night’s sleep in seven years; unfortunately, I rely on pills. I’ve tried everything. If I could wish anything for myself, I’d wish I could sleep better. 67. It can be inferred from the passage that _______. A. the author spends much time with his friends B. the author and Matt are both famous in the district C. the author doesn’t care much about what to wear D. the author works at home and seldom goes out every day 68. Where does the passage most likely appear? A. In a travel diary. B. In a news column. C. In an online diary. D. In a research paper. 69. Why does the author read some poetry before going to bed? A. Because poetry can often bring him some funny ideas. B. Because poetry is much easier to understand than novels. C. Because poetry is very abstract and reflects unusual things. D. Because poetry can be of some help for him to kill time. 70. What might be the best title for the passage? A. A day’s work with Matt B. A new life-style C. A life in the day D. A good way to write |

But we haven’t taken the time to find the treasure 46 inside that person. There is a treasure in each and every one of us.

第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题,每题2分,满分40分) 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I was helping in my son’s classroom when I spotted a poster that reads, “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can break my heart”. I started thinking. Teachers are such an important part of a child’s life. A teacher’s support determines how safe a child feels in school. His inspiration determines how much risk a child will take in the classroom, his understanding determines how important a child feels in school and his love determines a child’s motivating and attitude toward education. And the effect a teacher has on a child doesn’t end when the school bell rings at the end of the day. Rather, those feelings developed in the classroom go home with the child and, in a large part, determine what sort of evening the child and the family have. The importance of a teacher to a child is fantastic and cannot be over-emphasized. All my children are fortunate to have remarkable teachers. Consequently, the three of them love going to school almost as much as they love using teacherisms. For example, one of Hannah’s favorite phrases in used when I mess up. She looks at me with understanding and says, “It’s okay to make mistakes, mama, because you’re only learning.” Rachael’s favorite phrase is used to start most of her jobs; with a glow in her eye, she says, “I’m just going to do my best, mama, because that’s all I can do!” But perhaps my favorite is Jacob’s response to his sisters when one of them says something he doesn’t like. With his hand on his heart he says, “Don’t say that because words can break my heart.” Like most parents, I hear teacherisms daily. And every time I hear one, my heart floods with gratefulness for the wonderful teachers who make my children feel safe, important, and successful in the classroom, and who are helping my children achieve emotional good health. There is much talk today how to measure a teacher’s worth. I think we need only look at the students. Children mirror teachers’ words and actions, and the content of those reflections shows teacher’s greatness. 51.Teachers are important to students in that________. A.they equip them with book knowledge B.they help free the parents from worries C.they guarantee each family a happy evening D.they help keep them emotionally healthy 52.The three children’s examples are used to show that________. A.they are lucky to have wonderful teachers B.they can eventually develop into good teachers C.they are sometimes mentally hurt by the teachers D.they have a successful performance in school 53.To his mother, what the boy says possibly sounds________. A.ridiculous B.convincing C.humorous D.inspiring 54.The underlined word “teacherisms” probably refers to “________ ”. A.how teachers normally deal with their students B.what teachers usually say to their students C.why teachers seem important to their students D.where teachers agree with their students |
