That was my idea of success. I took all the advanced classes and tried to do well in the exams with my mind set on going to a key school. I just knew that I would somehow become famous and be able to afford the car and the dream house. All the way through junior years, my mind was planning this beautiful future.‎ Then in the eleventh grade, many losses changed my mind. First, one of my friends died at 16. Soon after, my great-grandmother passed away, followed by my beloved fourth-grade teacher. These events left me not knowing what to do or where to go. Death had never touched me so closely.‎ After a long period of emptiness, it finally struck me: Life is not promised and neither is future success. Though I was attempting to achieve material success, I was not enjoying my daily life. I realized that finding inner peace, purpose and happiness will stick with me forever and that is real success.‎ Enjoying life’s precious quirks (偶发事件) makes an ordinary person more successful than a wealthy person who isn’t content and takes everything for granted. The summer before senior years, my attitude changed greatly. Instead of memorizing facts, I began learning skills. Instead of focusing on the future, I focused on today and the many blessings and successes that came with it.‎ I still get excellent grades, but now I devote weeks to studying instead of struggling for exams, and I think about the future with a deeper sense of meaning. For me, being successful means truly living life each day.‎ ‎21. The reason why the author changed his idea of success is that ________. ‎ A. he can’t afford his house ‎ B. his beloved teacher died C. he didn’t know what to do or where to go ‎ D. he lost a few beloved persons in a short time ‎22. According to the author, which of the following is the real success for a person?‎ A. Being famous. B. Truly living life each day.‎ C. Good car and big house. D. Material achievements.‎ ‎23.

The author didn’t do well in all the exams. ‎ D. He didn’t want to take all the exams.‎ B ‎ Every mobile phone user worries about the battery life… Finally it’s here! The amazing mobile phone solar charger will make sure your phone never runs out of battery again.‎ Our solar chargers are suitable for most phones: iPhone, Blackberry, Samsung, HTC, OPPO and LG. Our solar chargers can also charge your iPad, MP3/MP4 player, iPOD, camera, GPS and so on. They are supplied with a wide range of adaptors (转换插头), which are suitable for different kinds of devices.‎ Our chargers are light and small. They fit very easily into a pocket.

The solar charger is great for: heavy phone users, travelling, backpacking, camping trips, boating, long plane flights and saving energy (clean and environmentally friendly). It is perfect for charging in foreign countries — you may arrive at your overseas hotel destination and not be able to find a local adaptor.‎ Keep one for emergencies — it could save your life. What if you break down in the middle of nowhere and you have no battery to call for emergency help? Or when there is no power available?‎ If you won’t leave home without your phone, then don’t leave home without one of our solar charger.‎ iPhone Solar Charger — 1,900 mAh Price: US$37‎ Weight: 69g Colour: Black It stores the power until you use it.‎ Leather iPad Charger — 4,400 mAh Price: US$121‎ Weight: 400g Colour: Red, black, white ＆pink Hard Plastic Solar Charger — 1,600 mAh Price: US$51‎ Weight: 60g Colour: Black ‎25.

But if we consider the situation of the young people aged from eight to eighteen, we should think again. ‎ What we often see nowadays is that young people juggle a larger number of electronic devices as they study. While working, they also surf on the Internet, send out emails, answer the telephone and listen to music on their iPods. In a sense, they are spending a large amount of time in fruitless efforts as they multitask. ‎ Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members. As young people give so much attention to their own worlds, they seem to have no time to spend with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house, nor can they eat at the family table. ‎ Multitasking also has an effect on young people’s performance at university and in the workplace. When asked about their opinions of the effects of modern gadgets (器具) on their performance of tasks, many young people gave a positive response. However, the response from the worlds of education and business was not quite as positive. Educators feel that multitasking by children has a serious effect on later development of study skills. They believe that many college students now need help to improve their study skills. Similarly, employers feel that young people entering the job market need to be taught all over again, as modern gadgets have made it unnecessary for them to learn special skills to do their work. ‎ ‎29. What does the underlined word “juggle” most probably mean? ‎ A. Want to buy. B. Use at the same time.‎ C. Take the place of. D. Search information from. ‎ ‎30. In Paragraph 3, the author points out that ________.‎ A. family members do not greet each other ‎ B. family members do not eat at the family table ‎ C. young people get on well with their families ‎ D. young people hardly communicate with their family members ‎ ‎31. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph? ‎ A. Young people must learn skills for future jobs.‎ B. Young people benefit a lot from modern gadgets.‎ C. Multitasking is an important skill to young people. ‎ D. Multitasking influences young people’s development seriously. ‎ ‎32. The author develops the passage mainly by ________. ‎ A. providing special examples ‎ B. following the natural time order ‎ C. putting forward an issue and analyzing its effects D. comparing opinions from different fields D Winter is coming, and some parts of the world are already covered with deep snow. The best way to warm those cold hands is a cup of hot sweet chocolate. Hot chocolate has been used for many years to treat diseases and fight bad moods. It’s known as a special healthy drink from the 16th to 19th centuries, and sometimes was taken as a medicine. Nowadays people don’t consider hot chocolate as a medicine, but drink even more than ever! There are plenty of tasty and healthy hot chocolate recipes (烹饪法) you can try to enjoy the following health benefits of drinking hot chocolate. ‎ It improves your brain power The study shows that drinking hot chocolate can help improve your brain power and your brain health.

Not only will you improve your memory, but your mood as well. Just make sure you don’t use too much sugar in your hot chocolate.‎ It improves your mood Chocolate, including hot chocolate, is well-known mood booster. This tasty drink helps fight stress, anxiety, and depression. But the problem is, hot chocolate may contain high amounts of sugar.

Luckily, here are 4 tips to help form positive patterns.‎ ‎1. Self-awareness When a negative thought pops into your mind, immediately correct it. Instead of telling yourself “That’s a nice shirt, but I can’t afford it,” change the message to “That will look great with my black pants when I can afford it.” 37 .‎ Of course, everyone complains sometimes. But the less frequently you complain, the better you will feel.‎ ‎2. Distance yourself ‎ 38 Excuse yourself and go somewhere quiet, somewhere outdoors in the fresh air. Think of something pleasant before returning. You have to take this seriously because negative people can and will pull you into the quicksand (困境).‎ ‎3. Don’t try to change complainers If you find yourself trapped in a group of complainers in a meeting or at a social event, simply choose silence. Let their words bounce (弹起) off you while you think of something else. Attempting to stop the complaining can make you a target. 39 If someone says, “I hate Mondays, weekends are too short,” try to think, “I’m glad I rested up over the weekend, so I’m ready to make some improvement on that big project.”‎ ‎4. 40 ‎ When someone is shouting at you angrily, throw the responsibility back at them by asking, “So what do you intend to do about it?” In most cases, complainers don’t really want a solution. They just want to speak them out. If you make them aware that they themselves have to find the solutions, they will leave you alone and find someone else to complain to. If so, you will be happy.‎ A. Find solutions B. Change responsibility C. You have got a lot of company.‎ D. By doing this, it will lead to positive behaviors.‎ E. But you can redirect the discussion in your own mind.‎ F. You will never know what they are going to talk about.‎ G. Whenever possible, escape from negative conversations.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分20分） ‎ ‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 ‎ ‎ The other day I was having lunch with some friends, I noticed a young man struggling to get his drink.
