    In early autumn I applied for admission to college. I wanted to go nowhere but to Cornell University, but my mother fought strongly against it. When she saw me studying a photograph of my father on the sports ground of Cornell, she tore it up.
    “You can’t say it’s not a great university, just because Papa went there.”
    “That’s not it at all. And it is a top university. ”She was still holding the pieces in her hand. “But we can’t afford to send you to college. ”
    “I wouldn’t dream of asking you for money. Do you want me to get a job to help support you and Papa? Things aren’t that bad, are they?”
    “No,” she said.“I don’t expect you to help support us.”
    Father borrowed money from his rich cousins to start a small jewelers shop; His chief customers were his old college friends. To get new customers, my mother had to help. She picked up a long-forgotten membership in the local league of women, so that she could get to know more people. Whether those people would turn into customers was another question. I knew that my Parents had to wait for quite a long time before their small investment(投资)could show returns. What’s more, they had not wanted enough to be rich and successful; otherwise they could not possibly have managed their lives so badly.
    I was torn(左右为难) between the deserve to help them and change their lives, and the determination not to repeat their mistakes. I had a strong belief in my power to go what I wanted. After months of hard study I won a full college scholarship(奖学金).My father could hardly show more pride in me, and my mother eventually gave in before my success.

    Rosie Dutton, a teacher from Relax Kids in Tamworth, UK, used two apples to show her students the often unseen but harmful effects of school bullying(欺凌).
    She posted the lesson on Facebook, where it's been shared more than 160,000 times. Rosie Dutton explained that during one of her classes she presented the children with two red apples. What the kids didn't know was that before the lesson, she had repeatedly dropped one of the apples on the floor. And yet, on the outside at least, both apples looked perfect.
    “I picked up the apple I’d dropped on the floor and started to tell the children how I disliked this apple,” Dutton wrote. “I told them that because I didn't like it, I didn't want them to like it either, so they should call it names too.”Some of the children looked at her as if she were “crazy”, but the students passed the apple around the circle, calling it names.
    Continuing the exercise, the teacher then passed the second apple around the circle. This apple, however, was showered with words like “Your skin is beautiful” and “What a beautiful colour you have”. Dutton then showed the students both apples once again, stressing that “There was no change, and both apples still looked the same.”
    Finally, Dutton cut both apples open. The apple that the class treated kindly looked fresh inside. But the other apple — the one they'd treated poorly — was bruised(碰伤的) beneath its skin.
    “I think there was a light bulb moment for the children immediately,” Dutton said. “When people are bullied, especially children, they feel horrible inside and sometimes don’t show or tell others how they are feeling. If we hadn’t cut that apple open, we would never have known how much pain we had caused it.”Dutton explained how important it is to teach children to stand up for one another, and to stop any form of bullying.
    “Let’s create a generation of kind caring children,” the teacher wrote. “The tongue has no bones, but is strong enough to break a heart. So be careful with your words.”

    28. What had the teacher done to the first apple before the lesson?
    A. She had introduced it to the kids.
    B. She had colored it bright.
    C. She had made it look perfect.
    D. She had damaged it purposely.
    29. What does the underlined part “call it names” (Para.3) mean?
    A. Shout at it. B. Make fun of it. C. Cheer for it. D. Say rude things.
    30. What did the teacher tell the kids to do with the second apple?
    A. Drop it. B. Praise it. C. Ignore it. D. Respect it.
    31. What's the purpose of the teacher’s using two apples in class?
    A. To draw the kids’attention.
    B. To explain her personal preferences.
    C. To help the kids understand the results of bullying.
    D. To make a comparison between them.

    D
    Perhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money. Strange as it may seem, if you’re unsatisfied, the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of desires—not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you don’t have enough tastes.
    Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities(能力)to enjoy life. Most people are already swamped(淹没)with things. They eat, wear, go and talk too much. They live in too big a house with too many rooms, yet their house of life is a hut.
    Your house of life ought to be a mansion(豪宅), a royal palace. Every new taste, every additional interest, every fresh enthusiasm adds a room. Here are several rooms your house of life should have.
    Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things. If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them, they would make you as happy as to find plenty of ham and eggs when you’re hungry.
    Literature, classic literature, is a beautiful, richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment. To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person, for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library.
    Music like Mozart’s and Bach’s shouldn’t be absent. Real riches are of the spirit. And when you’ve brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk, you have increased your thrills and bettered them. And life is a matter of thrills.
    Sports, without which you remain poor, mean a lot in life. No matter who you are, you would be more human, and your house of life would be better supported against the bad days, if you could, and did, play a bit. Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life, he secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.

    32. The author intends to tell us that   .
    A. true happiness lies in achieving wealth by fair means
    B. big houses are people’s most valued possessions
    C. true happiness comes from spiritual riches
    D. big houses can in a sense bring richness of life
    33. The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably implies that   .
    A. however materially rich, they remain spiritually poor
    B. however materially rich, they never seem to be satisfied
    C. though their house is big, they prefer a simple life
    D. though their house is big, it seems to be a cage
    34. It can be learned from the passage that   .
    A. more money brings more happiness
    B. literature can enrich your spiritual life
    C. art is needed to make your house beautiful
    D. sports contribute mainly to your physical fitness
    35. What would be the best title for the passage?
    A. Interest and Enthusiasm B. Secret of Wealth
    C. Rest and Refreshment D. House of Life

    笫二节(共5个小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。
    To joke around is to have fun with someone. To fool someone is to try to make them believe something that is not true. 36
    April 1st is known as the day to fool people with practical jokes, pranks or harmless tricks. 37
    Some say April Fools’ Day began as one big mistake.
    Many centuries ago, people in the Western world used the Julian calendar. 38 However, when people began using the Gregorian calendar, the New Year was moved to January 1st. Those who forgot the change and tried to celebrate New Year’s Day on the wrong date were teased and called “April fools”. This is just one of the many theories behind the origin of April Fools’ Day. 39
    The fool is a common character in art, music and literature. William Shakespeare is famous for his fools. And fools make for great pop songs. Fools are found in many words, expressions and proverbs. To be foolhardy means to do something that are too dangerous or risky. For example, it is foolhardy to hike up a mountain during a heavy snowstorm. If something is foolproof, it is planned or made so well that nothing could go wrong. 40
    “Look, I don’t want to get into trouble. This plan of yours sounds risky.”
    “My plan is foolproof. Nothing will go wrong as long as you do exactly as I say.”

    A. Not even a fool could mess it up.
    B. And that is the purpose of April Fools’ Day.
    C. They celebrated the New Year on April 1st.
    D. Even a smart person can be a fool at times.
    E. But the tradition remains the same—to fool someone.
    F. Fools also find themselves in many proverbs. G. But how did this tradition begin?

    The Meredith family lived in a small community. As the economy was in decline, some people in the town had lost their jobs. Many of their families were struggling to make ends meet. People were trying to help each other meet the challenges.
    Mrs. Meredith was a most kind and thoughtful woman. She spent a great deal of time visiting the poor. She knew they had problems, and they needed all kinds of help. When she had time, she would bring food and medicine to them.
    One morning she told her children about a family she had visited the day before. There was a man sick in bed, his wife, who took care of him and could not go out to work, and their little boy. The little boy -his name was Bernard-had interested her very much.
    “I wish you could see him,” she said to her own children, John, Harry, and Clara. “He is such a help to his mother. He wants very much to earn some money, but I don't see what he can do.”
    After their mother left the room, the children sat thinking about Bernard. “I wish we could help him to earn money,” said Clara. “His family is suffering so much.”
    “So do I,” said Harry. “We really should do something to assist them.”
    For some moments, John said nothing, but, suddenly, he sprang to his feet and cried, “I have a great idea! I have a solution that we can all help accomplish(完成).”
    The other children also jumped up all attention. When John had an idea, it was sure to be a good one. “I tell you what we can do,” said John. “You know that big box of corn Uncle John sent us? Well, we can make popcorn(爆米花), and put it into paper bags, and Bernard can take it around to the houses and sell it.”
    注意:
    1. 续写词数应为150左右:
    2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

    When Mrs. Meredith heard of John’s idea, she thought it was a good one, too. So, they went to the local supermarket together. They bought a bag of corn and some special bags for popcorn. When they got home, they made a lot of popcorn and put it in the special bags. With the popcorn, they went to Bernard’s home. They told Bernard how to sell the popcorn. Bernard and his parents were very grateful. And the Meredith family also felt very happy to help this family.
    With everything ready Bernard started out on his new business. He took the popcorn around to the houses and sold all his popcorn. He earned a lot of money. Then, he wanted to be self-dependent. Therefore, he asked Mrs. Meredith to teach him how to make popcorn. After that, not only did he sell popcorn, but he also added cream and salt to the popcorn to make it taste better. Bernard grew up to be a remarkable man. He did not forget the help of Meredith’s family, and he also did what he could to help those in need.

    W: Hey, Brad. You didn’t take the envelope that was on the kitchen table, did you?
    M: No, why? Do you want to send a letter?
    W: Well, actually my new PIN number was in that envelope.
    M: You’re kidding me, are you?
    W: No, I’m not. I left it here this morning.
    M: Go and ask Jill. Maybe she’s seen it.

    M: Hello, Sarah. Good to see you again. Welcome to the company.
    W: Thank you. I know you asked me to come in a little later on my first day, but what time do I normally start work?
    M: Well, the office opens at 8:30 and the team starts work at a 9 o’clock meeting.
    W: What happens after the meeting?
    M: We take a break at 10:30. My assistant Mia makes coffee for us all. Then it’s time to call customers and make sales.
    W: That sounds good.

    M: Hey, Tina. This is Sam. How’s it going?
    W: Pretty good, Sam. How are you?
    M: Great! Do you want to go to the movies tonight?
    W: Sorry, we don’t go out on Saturdays. Tom and I always stay at home and watch TV.
    M: That’s OK. Is Tom there now?
    W: Yes, but he is talking on his cell phone with his sister, Julie. Do you remember her?
    M: Yes, of course. She lives in Seattle right now, right?
    W: Right, but she’s in town now. She stays with a friend for a few days.
    M: That’s nice. Tell her I say hello.
    W: Sure.

    W: Hello, Ben! How was your weekend?
    M: Great, thanks! I visited York with Helen and the kids. York is a really beautiful historic city and there are lots of old buildings. And my friend booked us a really nice hotel.
    W: Oh? What did you do while you were there?
    M: Well, we visited the old castle on Saturday. I love history and the kids enjoyed exploring all the different rooms. And we visited the museum on Sunday. It’s so interesting. You can see what the town looked like in the past.
    W: What did you do on Saturday evening?
    M: I wanted to go to a football match, but there were no tickets. So we went to see a movie instead. The kids liked it, but I didn’t. It was boring, to be honest.
    W: What did you do for food?
    M: Helen likes trying new food different from Italian food. So we planned to go to a Thai restaurant. Helen enjoyed it, but the kids didn’t like the food, so we walked to a Chinese restaurant, further along the street.

    (Text 10)
    M: Hi, I’m Chris from Florida. Last year, I moved to London, where I’m working for an American company. It’s been a big change, and there have been lots of things to get used to. For example, in the U.S. we drive on the right, while here in Britain I’ve had to get used to driving on the left.
    What else? Well, the weather in Florida is usually great, so I’m used to lots of sunshine, and I used to sunbathe a lot. In London it rains so much. I don’t think I’ll ever get used to it, and I always remember to take my umbrella with me.
    Food in England is different, too. In America, I used to eat a lot of Mexican food. Here in England, people love Indian food, so I’m getting used to the different tastes. At the company where I work, it’s quite different. I used to work from 9 a.m. till 11 p.m. I hated working so late. Here in England, I start at 8:30 a.m., but finish at 5 p.m. On Friday evening English people like to go to the club with friends, but in America I used to go to the gym. I love sports.
    Is there anything else? Some of the words are different. The subway is called the “underground” in London, and British people call the fall “autumn”.
