He has a good heart, but always feared applying for a new job.‎ One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at ‎10 a.m. and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said, “Well, I could take you to the office for your interview. It’s the least I could do. Please, I insist.” Jimmy agreed. ‎ Upon arrival, Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed. Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. One by one, the applicants left the interviewer’s office with disappointed looks on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be ‎ interviewed?” Jimmy’s heart sank. “With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview?” He thought to himself. ‎ Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy’s surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was the General Manager of the company. ‎ ‎“Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into this office. I just know you’d be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations!” Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well-deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job. ‎ ‎21. Why did Jimmy apply for a new job?‎ A. He was out of work. B. He was bored with his job.‎ C. He wanted a higher position. D. he hoped to find a better boss. ‎ ‎22. What did Jimmy see on the way to the interview?‎ A. A friend’s car had a flat tyre. B. A wild man was pushing a car. ‎ C. A terrible car accident happened. D. An old man’s car broke down. ‎ ‎23. Why did the old man offer Jimmy a ride?‎ A. He was also to be interviewed. B. He needed a traveling companion.‎ C. He always helped people in need. D. He was thankful to Jimmy .‎ ‎24. How did Jimmy feel on hearing the interviewer’s question?‎ A. He was sorry for the other applicants. B. There was no hope for him to get the job.‎ C. He regretted helping the old man. D. The interviewer was very rude. ‎ B Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I'm not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don't come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that's just the reality of how life is.‎ However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in additional to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practising. To become great at certain things, it'll require even more time, time that most people won't put in.‎ This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don't enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.‎ When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It's sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there's a huge chance that you're wrong anyway.‎ Whatever you do , if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you're not willing to put in the time and work, don't expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work won't guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.‎ ‎25. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ______.‎ ‎   A. the reasons for success.     B. the meaning of success ‎   C. the standards of success.     D. the importance of success ‎26. In Paragraph 2, the underlined word "that" refers to _______.‎ ‎   A. being good at something.   B. setting a practical goal.‎ ‎   C. putting in more time.   D. succeeding in life ‎27. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?‎ ‎   A. Successful people like to show their great skills.‎ ‎   B. People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.‎ ‎   C. People need to achieve success at the cost of life.‎ ‎   D. It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.‎ ‎28. What is the main theme of the passage?‎ ‎   A. Having a goal is vital to success.     B. Being good is different from being great.‎ ‎   C. One cannot succeed without time and practice.    D. Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.‎ C.‎ Interested in sharing your views in the Campus Link?

They can affect the ability to listen or think, or to speak, or to read, or to write and do mathematics. ‎ A person with a learning disability has unusual difficulty in developing these skills. Researchers believe that learning disabilities are caused by differences in the way that the brain works with information. They say children with learning disabilities are not unintelligent or do not want to work. Their brains just process information differently than other people. Researchers say that one in five people in America has some kinds of learning disability. Almost three million children in America receive some kinds of help in school for a learning disability. ‎ How can you tell if someone has a learning disability? Experts look for a difference between how well a child does in school and the level of intelligence or ability of the child. But there is no sign of a disorder. A few signs of a learning disability include not connecting letters with their sounds or not understanding what is read. A person with a learning disability may not be able to understand a funny story. They may not follow directions. They may not read numbers correctly or know how to start a task Different people have different kinds of learning disabilities. Another may have difficulty understanding what people are saying. Still another may not be able to express ideas in writing. ‎ These different kinds of learning disabilities are known by different names. For example, a person who has difficulty reading may have dyslexia. Someone who cannot do mathematics may ‎ have a disorder called dyscalculia (计算困难). ‎ Experts say learning disabilities cannot be cured. But people who have them can be helped. Teachers and parents can help young people with learning disabilities to learn successfully.‎ ‎33. What does the passage mainly talk about?‎ A. Cost of learning disabilities. B. How to cure learning disabilities.‎ C. General introduction to learning disabilities. D. Causes of learning disabilities. ‎ ‎34. It is believed that ____ is the main cause of learning disabilities.‎ A. different brain B. mother language ‎ C. being lazy D. the different ways the brain works with information ‎35. People with learning disabilities may have no trouble ____.‎ A. understanding a funny story B. following directions ‎ C. dressing themselves D. reading numbers correctly ‎ 第二节 （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。选项中的两项为多余选项。‎ Life is just like a box. Inside it are happiness and sorrow, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in it teach us new lessons and make us a better person.‎ Love ‎ Love plays a key role on our life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could become cruel and violent. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who show us with unconditional love and care. They tell us what is right or wrong, good or bad. 36 . It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to the feelings of others. Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better.‎ Happiness and Sorrow ‎ Materialistic happiness is short-lived, but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others gives a certain level of fulfillment. 37 . No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow. Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one, failure and despair. But these things are temporary and pass away.‎ Failure and Success ‎ 38 . It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way.‎ Hope and Despair ‎ Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. 39 , because after every night there is a day. Nothing remains the same. We have only one choice-keep moving on in life and be hopeful.‎ Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is beyond our control. Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be right or dull. 40 , so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.‎ A. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour B. So the only alternative is work hard today ‎ C. But we always tend to take this for granted ‎ D. Success lies in trusting yourself ‎ E. So let’s enjoy every day ‎ F. Failure is the path to success G.

Obviously there was something wrong with the car. 可知吉米在去面试的路上等公交车时，看见一个老人的车胎坏了。故选D。‎ ‎23.细节理解题。它根据第二段中的“It’s the least I could do” 可知，老人为了向Jimmy表达谢意而载他一程。故选D。‎ ‎24.推理判断题。根据第三段的Jimmy’s heart sank. “With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself. 可知吉米觉得自己面试可能过不了，因此失去了希望。故选B。‎ Passage B.‎ 段落 关键词、句 大意推测 第一部分（Para. 1）‎ success; talent; luck; family ‎ circumstances; reality; life 成功的因素：有些人的观点、作者的看法。‎ 第二部分（Para. 2）‎ succeed in life; set a goal; practical; good at something; time 生活的成功：作者认为要有树立目标，并投入时间和付之于实践。‎ 第三部分（Para. 3）‎ successful people; advise; love; not enjoy; pain; become good at ‎ 成功人士的建议：爱自己做的事情。‎ 第四部分 ‎（Para. 4）‎ people; exhibiting…great skills or having achieved great success; a huge part of life; at a huge cost; lucky; born with rare talent; thinking; no good; a huge chance; be wrong 对成功的理解：成功的人展示高超的技能和莫大的成功，他们付出很多；认为他们是有运气或天生的天分对你没好处，只会增多你犯错的可能。‎ 第五部分 ‎ ‎（Para. 5）‎ become great at; need to work; time; consistent; level of success 总结：要想擅长于你做的事，得要情愿投入时间、努力工作和做到持续。‎ ‎25. 段落大意题。难度：较易。题干关键词为Paragraph 1，定位第一段。根据这里的内容，找出关键词，some people think…success is for those with…, I’m going to say…, success, because…，由此可知，这里是发表有些人和作者自己对成功的原因的观点看法，所以答案选A项。‎ ‎26. 根据第一段第一，二句“However…one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that….”可知，一个人要想成功，首先要设定目标，然后使之逐渐趋于实际。除此之外……由此可推，that指代“to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical”故选B。‎ ‎27.推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having…a huge cost.”可知，当你看到人们展示良好的技巧或者获得巨大的成功时，你知道他们付出了生命中的大部分时间，以巨大的代价才达到那个程度。由此可知，取得成功的人并不都是凭借运气的，也并不都是天才。故选B。‎ ‎28. 通读全文可知，本文最后一段点明了主题：不管你做什么，如果你想擅长做一件事，你需要付出辛劳和时间。这些都是成功必备的。故选C ‎【难句学习】‎ ‎1. This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do ,it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.‎ 翻译：这是一个很大的原因为什么许多成功的人建议你做你所爱的事情。如果你不喜欢你做的事情，它就会有一种像疼痛难忍的感受，这将有可能使你在还没变得很擅长之前退出。‎ 分析：第一句中包含why引导的同位语从句以及you love的定语从句，修饰前面的something；第二句子包含what引导的宾语从句以及before引导的时间状语从句。‎ ‎2. Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.‎ 翻译：持续、努力工作不能保证你可以得到某一层面的成功，但可以确保你真能擅长于你把所的工作都投进去的事情。‎ 分析：这个句子中包含you may want的定语从句子，修饰前面的；还有后面的that和whatever引导的宾语从句。‎ Passage C.‎ 本文是一篇说明文，详细介绍了网站Campus Link对有关专栏征稿的事宜。‎ Contribution:投稿 ‎29.判断推理题。根据Lifestyle，Class Notes, Research和Humor Times这四个栏目可初步判断可能是杂志或网站名。如果仅注意issue和editor in-chief很可能误选D。认真分析短文末尾的邮箱会发现campuslink.sg是一个网站，由此可推断A 项为正确答案 ‎30.在lifestyle条目下，A,B,D均有说明。“Be Leonard Maltin for the day and share…”一句的意思是，今天又你来做Leonard Maltin，与读者交流最新大片的看法。故可推出Leonard Maltin是这个栏目的主持人，并未提及该项栏目中有他的故事。故C正确。‎ ‎31.Class Notes栏目的大意是：无论你的工作业绩，校园生活记忆，近来的工作还是家里宝宝出生，都可以再这儿分享。Recent career（近来的职业）与 new job 同义。故D 正确。‎ ‎32.根据“Share with Campus Link your research developments and breakthroughs”可以推断该栏目给研究者提供了一个交流平台。Bread and butter 在文中的含义是“主要收入来源”并非“‎ 黄油面包片”。本段最后一句话的意思是“如果某个人的研究对我们的社区有激励作用的话，请举荐！”据此可排除C.D选项。故B正确。‎ Passage D.‎ 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是无学习能力，无学习能力会导致人们理解和使用语言方面的混乱，它会影响学习，思考，说话，阅读，写作和计算能力。‎ ‎33. 本段第一段为主题段，其中第一句话又是文章主题句“无学习能力会导致人们理解 和使用语言方面的混乱”，后面的段落是对无学习能力的详细说明。故C正确。‎ ‎34.根据第二段第二句话可知，人们认为大脑处理信息的不同方式导致无学习能力的主因。故D正确。‎ ‎35. 此题可用排除法。根据第三段可知，无学习能力的人不能理解有趣的故事，不能听指挥，不能正确地读出数字，所以C项正确。‎ 七选五 ‎36. C. 这几句话的意思是：父母对我们无条件地关心和呵护，而我们却认为这一切是理所当然，只有到了自己结婚生子才真正理解。空白后面句中的only是关键词。‎ ‎37. G. 空白前面谈到的是幸福，空白后面谈到幸福的前提条件。前后联系，happiness和peace 应是本空的核心词，由此可知答案。‎ ‎38. F.本小段的标题是Failure and Success，再结合下面的内容，可知失败是通往成功的必经之路。‎ ‎39.A.利用空白之后的原因状语从句（每一次黑暗过后就会迎来光明），就能推测该空的含义是“即使在最艰难的时刻也不要绝望。”‎ ‎40. B. 本段的大意是：我们不要懊悔一去不复返的昨日，也不要指望前途未卜的明白，而唯一可做的就是现在的刻苦努力。‎ 听力部分录音稿 听力原文：‎ 第一节：‎ Man: Excuse me, Madam?‎ Woman: Yes?‎ Man: How long can I keep the book?‎ Woman: For one month.

There is only one place where you’ll find all these information, and that’s in the Guinness Book of World Records. This morning we have someone from the Guinness Company that produced that famous book, Thomas Manning. “Welcome to the program, Thomas!” “Thanks, Sue. It’s a pleasure to be here.” “Perhaps you could start by telling us where the idea for the book came from.” “Well, it was first suggested in the early 1950s. Sir Hugh Beaver, the managing director of Guinness, was out shooting birds with some friends. A bird flew away so quickly that no one was able to shoot it. Sir Hugh wondered whether this bird was the fastest bird in Europe, and if it wasn’t the fastest, he wondered what was.” “So I suppose he went to the nearest library to look for the information and he couldn’t find it?” “Yes, that’s ‎ exactly what happened. And this made Sir Hugh think there must be other people in the same situation who wanted this kind of information. He thought that, like himself, people would be interested in finding facts of all records to satisfy their curiosity.” “So the idea for a book of records was born. And when did the first book come out?”“A few years later, in 1955. So, to ask your first question: the tallest person in the world is ‎231.7cm tall. And the oldest person is Jeanne. L. Calment, who was born in February, 1875.” “There are also some rather strange records, aren’t there, Thomas?” “Yes ,that’s right. Did you know, Sue, that the shortest time it is taken …”‎
