Mrs. White lived in a town of England. Her husband died three years ago and one of her children worked in the capital and the other three lived in another town. Her husband didn’t leave her much money and she had to live a simple (简朴) life. Sometimes her children went to see her during their holidays, but they stayed with her for only two or three days. One winter morning the old woman got up early. She was going to buy some food in a shop. And when she came out, she found there was much snow in the street. She had to sweep it away. And suddenly she found a dying dog at the corner of the house. She picked it up and took it into the house quickly. She put it near the fire and gave it some milk and bread. At first the poor dog ate nothing and that afternoon it drank some milk and three days later it was all right. Now the old woman found it was a beautiful dog. And she liked it very much and took it everywhere she went. A week later she went shopping with her dog. At a bus stop a young man was eating fish and chips. The little dog became very excited (兴奋) at the smell of the man’s lunch and began jumping up at him. “Do you mind if I throw it a bit (一点)?” asked the young man. “Not at all,” answered Mrs. White.

A peer is a person who is about the same age as you. Peers affect your life, whether you know it or not, just by spending time with you. Peers can have a good effect on one another. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book and now everyone’s reading it. However, sometimes peers affect one another in another way. For example, one kid in school might try to get another to cut class with him, your soccer friend might try to persuade you to be mean to another player and never pass her the ball, or a kid in the neighborhood might want you to shoplift with him. Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked, to fit in, or because they worry that other kids may make fun of them if they don’t go along with the group. Others may go along because they are curious to try something new that others are doing. The idea that “everyone’s doing it” may influence some kids to leave their better judgments or their common senses behind. Peer pressure can be extremely strong and hard to get rid of. Experiments have shown how peer pressure can influence someone to change her/ his mind from what she/ he knows for sure is a correct answer to the incorrect answer-just because everyone else gives the incorrect answer! That holds true for people of any age in peer pressure situations. It can be hard to walk away from peer pressure, but it can be done. Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do. Inner strength and self-confidence can help you stand firm, walk away and resist doing something when you know better. 68. What is the best title for this passage? A. Peers have a good effect B. Children give in to peer pressure C. Peer pressure is hard to resist D. Peer pressure 69. The underlined word “shoplift” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”. A. do some shopping B. carry goods for shops C. steal in shops D. take the lift upstairs in shops 70. The writer will NOT agree that ________. A. only children change their correct answers to incorrect ones because of peer pressure B. peers have an effect on one another C. peer pressure can be got rid of D. peers will believe in themselves if there are other peers who agree with them 71. By writing the passage the writer intends to ________. A. tell people to follow other’s opinions B. warn people to stay away from their peers C. tell it is hard to walk away from pressure D. persuade people to do the right thing regardless of peer pressure |

After graduation, I got a job and 39 his bill in a few months. In the 40 years following, I’ve learned to call this man a “woodwork angel.” They are strangers who appear out of nowhere when I need help.

第三部分:阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分) 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 One of today’s hottest topics among women (and to an extent among men too now) is anti aging and how to reverse the signs of age. The beauty industry has responded to this by offering a wide collection of anti aging creams and other anti aging products aimed at all pocketbooks, ranging from economical to highly priced. And the question is “do any of these often much-vaunted(被过度吹嘘的) anti aging creams actually work?” And if they do, how precisely do they perform their miracles? Well, the appropriate response to that is that they do work—after a fashion. There certainly are anti aging creams available for a relatively modest price that will reduce the appearance of wrinkles in a comparatively short period of regular application. But this really is the limit of their powers: they won’t actually undo skin damage or eradicate(根除) all signs of age; they will simply modify them, some more effectively than others. The way they work is like so: they remove upper layers of dead skin cells and make deeper layers absorb water, serving to plump them up and make them look fuller and healthier. But since such anti aging creams only go skin deep, as it were, skin damage will reappear once you stop using the anti aging wrinkle(皱纹) cream. This means fairly heavy regular use, which might be costly depending on your choice of product. However, if you can afford it or think it’s worth the cost, it won’t be such an issue. After all, what woman wants to look older than her years when looking good is so tied up with many women"s self-esteem(自尊) and sense of identity. A compromise(折中) solution for those on a tighter budget is to use the cheaper creams. In addition, it’s always wise to be a little experimental to make sure you end up with the one that suits your skin best. So, to sum up: an anti wrinkle face cream will work within limits, depending on your objective. 41. This passage mainly tells us something about _____. A. anti aging creams B. anti aging foods C. anti wrinkle face D. anti wrinkle skin 42. According to the author, we can infer _____. A. anti aging creams must reverse the signs of age B. skin damage must not reappear after using creams C. anti aging creams should be properly used D. skin damage will disappear forever after using creams 43. The benefits from anti aging creams are the following except that _____. A. they remove upper layers of dead skin cells B. they make deeper layers absorb water C. they make layers look fuller and healthier D. they make wrinkle faces rough 44. The meaning of the underlined phrase “on a tighter budget” is _____. A. having a larger amount of money B. having a smaller amount of money C. having no money at all D. having a lot of money 45. Fairly heavy regular use will make you _____. A. spend much money on your choice of product B. easily afford your choice of product C. think your choice of product wrong D. believe your choice of product right |
Though your parents probably meant to have your name last a lifetime, remember that when they picked it they’d hardly met you, and the hopes and dreams they cared for when they chose it may not match yours. If your name no longer seems to fit you, don’t lose heart. Film stars change their names, and with some determination, you can, too. If you wish to pick up a new name, you don’t need to make the change official. Under common law, all that is necessary is to start using the name of your choice. Remember, though, that you must use it everywhere—even with your mother—for it to become your legal name. Getting friends and fellow workers to call you Leach instead of Lola may be harder than any paperwork involved, but you’ll probably meet official resistance, too. Be sure that no law prevents you from using the name you have chosen, unless you use it for the purpose of cheating. If the gas company tells you that you cannot get your bill under a new name, they are wrong. You don’t have to show them any sort of court document. You have a right to be called by whatever name you choose. By this time, you’ve probably realized that changing your name is more difficult than replacing your furniture or changing your hair color, though the effect can be unusually encouraging. Don’t care too much if you have to keep reminding others of your change of a new name—keep on, and your friends and lover will accept your new name. Good luck! 51. You may wish to change your name because _____. you are required to do so you don’t mean to have your name last a lifetime you like to follow what film stars often do you may not like your parents’ choice 52. If you wish to start using the name of your own choice, you _____. must get friends to call your new name don’t have to get permission from anybody must use it with your mother first need to be approved by the court 53. No law keeps you from using whatever name you have chosen, if only ____. you pick up a new name not for the purpose of wrong-doing you can get your fellow workers to call you the new name the gas company agrees to get your bill under your new name some sort of court document is given to you 54. You may realize that changing your name ____. usually has good effect is actually asking for trouble is not as easy as rearranging your room means you have to go through some trouble 55. The purpose of the writer in writing this passage is to _____. show you the need of changing your name encourage you if you want to change your name tell you how easy it is to change one’s name list all the difficulties in changing one’s name |
