The training I received, though excellent, did not tell me how it was to work with a real student, however. When I began to discover what other people’s lives were like because they could not read, I realized the true importance of reading.‎ My first student Marie was a 44-year-old single mother of three. In the first lesson, I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didn’t know which bus to take. When I told her I would get her a bus schedule, she told me it would not help because she could not read it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she couldn’t always remember what she needed. Since she did not know words, she could not write out a shopping list. Also, she could only recognize items by sight, so if the product had a different label (标识), she would not recognize it as the product she wanted.‎ As we worked together, learning how to read built Marie’s self-confidence, which encouraged her to continue in her studies. She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket. After this successful trip, she reported how self-confident she felt. At the end of the program, she began helping her youngest son, Tony, a shy first grader, with his reading. She sat with him before he went to sleep and together they would read bedtime stories. When his eyes became wide with excitement as she read, pride was written all over her face, and she began to see how her own hard work in learning to read paid off. As she described this experience, I was proud of myself as well. I found that helping Marie to build her self-confidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before.‎ As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others. In fact, I may have learned more from the experience than Marie did.‎ ‎56. What did the author do last summer?‎ A. She helped someone to learn to read.‎ B. She worked in the supermarket. ‎ C. She gave single mothers the help they needed.‎ D. She went to a training program to help a literacy volunteer.‎ ‎57. Why didn’t Marie go to the supermarket by bus at first?‎ A. Because she liked to walk to the supermarket.‎ B. Because she lived far away from the bus stop.‎ C. Because she couldn’t find the right bus.‎ D. Because she couldn’t afford the bus ticket.‎ ‎58. How did Marie use to find the goods she wanted in the supermarket?‎ A. She knew where the goods were in the supermarket.‎ B. She asked others to take her to the right place.‎ C. She remembered the names of the goods.‎ D. She managed to find the goods by their looks.‎ ‎59. Which of the following statements is TRUE about Marie?‎ A. Marie was able to read stories with the help of her son.‎ B. Marie could do things she had not been able to do before. ‎ C. Marie decided to continue her studies in school.‎ D. Marie paid for her own lessons.‎ B ‎ In Canada and the United States, there is a new group of children called “satellite kids”, who live in one place but whose parents live in another place.‎ ‎ Asians are immigrating to Canada and the United States in larger numbers than ever before. Most Asians immigrate because they believe that they can give their children a better education in the West. In Asia, especially in China, Japan, and Korea, it is difficult to go to university. Students must first pass the strict national examination. However, in Canada and the United States, it is easy to go to university, and anyone who wants to go can go. As a result, Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university. ‎ ‎ The problem is that when Asians arrive, they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the West than in the East. Also, they find that they are very lonely, and that they miss their homes. Because of these two reasons, most Asian parents decide to go back to work while their children study in the West. Therefore, these children become “satellite kids”, and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a “satellite kid”.‎ ‎ Only until now are Canadians and Americans discovering the “satellite kid” problem. Because these children do not speak English and because their parents are not there to take care of them, they are often absent from school. To be a “satellite kid” means to grow up in a country where you know you are different and where you cannot make friends because you do not speak English well. Also, it means to grow up lonely, because your parents are elsewhere. What these “satellite kids” will probably say to their parents is that it is better to have parents around than to have a university education. ‎ ‎60. Some Asian parents send their kids abroad because ________.‎ ‎ A. they hope their children may easily find a job there ‎ B. the kids want to improve their English and make foreign friends ‎ C. all foreign universities are better than the ones in their own countries ‎ D. the kids may not be accepted by universities in their own countries ‎ ‎61. “Satellite kids” refer to Asian kids ________.‎ ‎ A. without patents B. with university education ‎ ‎ C. living abroad alone D. speaking no English ‎62. Some Asian immigrant children become “satellite kids” because their parents ________.‎ ‎ A. want to leave their own country B. return to their countries to work ‎ ‎ C. want them to go to university D. want them to be independent ‎63. What can be inferred from the passage?‎ ‎ A. Parents want better education for their kids.‎ ‎ B. Parents feel lonely and miss their families.‎ ‎ C. Kids in foreign countries alone are badly in need of care from family.‎ ‎ D. Canadians and Americans begin to notice the “satellite kids” problem.‎ C ‎ As a young boy, I sometimes traveled the country roads with my dad. He was a rural mail carrier, and on Saturdays he would ask me to go with him. Driving through the countryside was always an adventure: There were animals to see, people to visit, and chocolate cookies if you knew where to stop, and Dad did.‎ In the spring, Dad delivered boxes full of baby chickens, and when I was a boy it was such a fun to stick your finger 'through one of the holes of the boxes and let the baby birds peck on your fingers.‎ On Dad's final day of work, it took him well into the evening to complete his rounds because at least one member from each family was waiting at their mailbox to thank him for his friendship and his years of service. "Two hundred and nineteen mailboxes on my route." he used to say, "and a story at every one." One lady had no mailbox, so Dad took the mail in to her every day because she was nearly blind. Once inside, he read her mail and helped her pay her bills.‎ Mailboxes were sometimes used for things other than mail. One note left in a mailbox read. "Nat, take these eggs to Marian; she's baking a cake and doesn't have any eggs." Mailboxes might be buried in the snow, or broken, or lying on the ground, but the mail was always delivered. On cold days Dad might find one of his customers waiting for him with a cup of hot chocolate. A young wrote letters but had no stamps, so she left a few button on the envelope in the mailbox; Dad paid for the stamps. One businessman used to leave large amounts of cash in his mailbox for Dad to take to the bank. Once, the amount came to $32,000.‎ A dozen years ago, when I traveled back to my hometown on the sad occasion of Dad's death, the mailboxes along the way reminded me of some of his stories. I thought I knew them all, but that wasn't the case.‎ As I drove home, I noticed two lamp poles, one on each side of the street. When my dad was around, those poles supported wooden boxes about four feet off the ground. One box was painted green and the other was red, and each had a long narrow hole at the top with white lettering: SANTA CLAUS, NORTH POLE. For years children had dropped letters to Santa through those holes.‎ I made a turn at the corner and drove past the post office and across the railroad tracks to our house. Mom and I were sitting at the kitchen table when I heard footsteps. There, at the door, stood Frank Townsend, Dad's postmaster and great friend for many years. So we all sat down at the table and began to tell stories.‎ At one point Frank looked at me with tears in his eyes. "What are we going to do about the letters this Christmas?" he asked.‎ ‎"The letters?"‎ ‎"I guess you never knew. "‎ ‎"Knew what?"‎ ‎"Remember, when you were a kid and you used to put your letters to Santa in those green and red boxes on Main Street? It was your dad who answered all those letters every year. "‎ I just sat there with tears in my eyes. It wasn't hard for me to imagine Dad sitting at the old table in our basement reading those letters and answering each one. I have since spoken with several of the people who received Christmas letters during their childhood, and they told me how amazed they were that Santa had known so much about their homes and families.‎ For me, just knowing that story about my father was the gift of a lifetime. ‎ ‎64. It can be inferred from the passage that the writer regarded his travels with Dad as________.‎ A. great chances to help other people ‎ B. happy occasions to play with baby chickens C. exciting experience with a lot of fun ‎ D.  good opportunities to enjoy chocolate cookies ‎65. The writer provides the detail about the businessman to show that ________.‎ A. Dad had a strong sense of duty ‎ B. Dad was an honest and reliable man C. Dad had a strong sense of honor ‎ D. Dad was a kind and generous man ‎66. According to the passage, which of the following impressed the writer most?‎ A. Dad read letters for a blind lady for years.‎ B. Dad paid for the stamps for a young girl.‎ C. Dad delivered some eggs to Marian. ‎ D. Dad answered children's Christmas letters every year.‎ ‎67. The method the writer uses to develop Paragraph 4 is ________.‎ A. providing explanations ‎ B. offering analyses ‎ C. giving examples ‎ D. making comparisons D ‎ ‎ A lazy Susan is an addition to a table that is designed to assist in moving food from one person to another while dining. This is achieved through the use of a turntable (转盘), which usually moves the food in a circle when it is pushed by those at the table. In this way, the food never has to be picked up and passed around the table. Instead, it remains in place on the lazy Susan.‎ ‎ A lazy Susan may also be a part of a kitchen cabinet (橱柜). In this sense, the lazy Susan is a type of shelving unit within the cabinet that is able to turn around its axis(轴心) . One may turn the lazy Susan in order to find certain goods in storage. From the outside, a lazy Susan appears to be two cabinets that are located at a right angle (直角) to each another. When one of these cabinets is pushed, however, both doors move and the lazy Susan is revealed inside.‎ ‎ It is believed that Thomas Jefferson invented the lazy Susan in the 18th century, though it was called “dumbwaiter” at that time. It is said that Jefferson invented the lazy Susan because his daughter complained she was always served last at table and, as a result, never found herself full when leaving the table. Others believe that Thomas Edison was the inventor, as he is believed to have invented the turntable for his phonograph (留声机). The turntable may have developed into the lazy Susan later.‎ Regardless of who invented it, it wasn’t until 1917 that the term “lazy Susan” was used in an advertisement for the invention. In Britain, however, the term “dumbwaiter” is still used rather than “lazy Susan”. The reason for the naming of it is still a mystery. One theory is that it was named after either Jefferson’s or Edison’s daughter, both of whom were named Susan.‎ ‎68. What is a “lazy Susan”? ‎ A. A waitress B. A table C. A cabinet D. A convenient tool ‎69. According to those who believed Thomas Jefferson invented the lazy Susan, _______.‎ A. Thomas Edison didn’t invent the phonograph ‎ B. Thomas Edison was his friend ‎ ‎ C. the lazy Susan didn’t exist until the 18th century ‎ D. his daughter was very lazy ‎70. We can learn from the last paragraph that ___________.‎ A. the lazy Susan can work by itself ‎ B. how the lazy Susan got its name remains unknown C. the lazy Susan was named after Thomas Edison’s daughter D. the lazy Susan was invented in Britain 第四部分．任务型阅读 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)‎ 请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。‎ 注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。‎ Criticism (批评) is common in life. It is up to you to decide how to react to it. Learn how to deal with criticism and lead a happier and more relaxing life.‎ Ask yourself how the criticism will affect you. Will you lose your job because of the criticism? Will you lose what is important to you because you are criticized? Will life stop existing if your opinions are not accepted? Surely not! So, don’t worry about it. Instead, remember that some criticism actually helps you make some improvements.‎ You absolutely cannot stop what people say. What you can do, however, is to change the way you react to criticism. If you are upset about it, then the blame is on you. You have the right to decide what to do with the criticism you receive.‎ Be brave to accept criticism. No one likes to be told that he is wrong. Yet, every single person ‎ has, at one time or another, been blamed for something. Realize that it’s normal. You may have received some strong criticism, but it doesn’t mean that you are foolish, or that you are unable to do something properly. If you are afraid to put your work out for others to see, you’ll never know if you are a capable person. Try not to think of it in that way and don’t take it seriously. If you can learn to be optimistic(乐观的), you will remove some stress and nervousness about what people think, thus becoming happier.‎ Consider where the criticism comes from. It may help you step back and examine what causes the criticism. Is the critic just trying to offer constructive criticism? It is much easier to accept correction or guidance from someone that has good intentions. This type of criticism is known as valid(有效的) criticism, because there is a valid point or reason to it. On the other hand, there are critics that offer their advice just to be negative. This is commonly referred to as invalid criticism because it is often not of any use at all.‎ Do your best. And if someone doesn’t like what you’ve done, so what? It’s either valid criticism or invalid criticism. But you have the power to decide how you will allow it to affect you.‎ Title: How to deal with criticism The author’s opinion about criticism Criticism is a (n) 71 part of life and it is up to you to decide your reaction to it.‎ Ways of dealing with criticism ‎●Understand the 72 that criticism has on you:‎ ‎1) Some criticism won’t make a difference to you, so don’t feel 73 about it.‎ ‎2) Some criticism can help you 74 .‎ ‎●Change the way you respond to criticism and try not to be 75 about it.‎ ‎●Accept criticism 76 :‎ Receiving criticism doesn’t mean you are stupid or you are 77 to do things.‎ ‎●Be optimistic about criticism and you will become less stressed or 78 .‎ ‎●Think about the 79 for criticism:‎ It may be valid criticism or invalid criticism.‎ ‎80 ‎ Take criticism as it is and remember you decide how you respond to it.‎ 第五部分 单词拼写(没空一词，每小题1分，满分10分)‎ ‎81.Tom agreed to a me on a trip to Africa.‎ ‎82.

Many students took an active part in the activity. However, some students who are poor at handwriting don’ t want to improve their handwriting. The reasons are as follows:‎ ‎ On the one hand, they think that there is no need to waste time improving their handwriting because they can just use computer. On the other hand, they argue that they are too busy with their studies to find time to practice. What’s more, practicing handwriting is so difficult that they can’t make rapid progress in a short time.‎ ‎ As far as I’m concerned, having a beautiful and neat handwriting is of benefit ‎ to students themselves. Besides, good handwriting is always appreciated by people, especially by teachers. Therefore more emphasis should be placed on this aspect in future.‎
