She wanted me to “make something” of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.‎ With my load of magazines, I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself highly visible, making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. When it was supper time, I walked back home.‎ ‎“How many did you sell, my boy?” my mother asked.‎ ‎“None.”‎ ‎“Where did you go?”‎ ‎“The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”‎ ‎“What did you do?”‎ ‎“Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”‎ ‎“You just stood there?”‎ ‎“Didn’t sell a single one.”‎ ‎“My God, Russell!”‎ Uncle Allen put in, “Well, I’ve decided to take the Post.” I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickel. It was the first nickel I earned.‎ Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence, and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.‎ One day, I told my mother I’d changed my mind. I didn’t want to make a success in the magazine business.‎ ‎“If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied, “you’ll become a good-for-nothing.” She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me.‎ My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied with my father’s plain workman’s life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people. But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband’s people for true life and love.‎ ‎24. Why did the boy start his job young?‎ ‎ A. He wanted to be famous in the future. B. The job was quite easy for him.‎ ‎ C. His mother had high hopes for him. D. The competition for the job was fierce.‎ ‎25. From the dialogue between the boy and his mother, we learn that the mother was _______.‎ ‎ A. excited B. interested C. ashamed D. disappointed ‎26.

What is the text mainly about?‎ ‎ A. The early life of a journalist. B. The early success of a journalist.‎ ‎ C. The happy childhood of the writer. D. The important role of the writer in his family.‎ C Welcome to your future life!‎ You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is firm and young-looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people at your age could live to be 150, so at 40, you’re not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging(抗衰老的) treatment. Now, all three of you look the same age!‎ You say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It changes from blue to red. In 2035, “smart clothes” contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the cells in your body. The particles can be programmed to change clothes’ color or pattern.‎ You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says,” You shouldn't drink that!” Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk, and it Knows the milk is old. In 2035, every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.‎ It’s time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve. Such “smart technology” is all around you.‎ So will all these things come true? “For new technology to succeed,” says scientist Andrew Zolli,” it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already.” The Internet is one example what will be the next.‎ ‎28. We can learn from the text that in the future__________.‎ ‎ A. people will never get old B. everyone will look the same ‎ C. red will be the most popular color D. clothes will be able to change their pattern ‎29.

Medical treatments of the future. D. The reason for the success of new technology.‎ D This year’s flu season is pretty scary. To try to minimize the effects, public officials are still urging anyone who hasn’t yet gotten their flu shot to get one as soon as possible. However, even ‎ if every single person got a shot in the arm, the vaccine(疫苗)—with its excellent 36 percent effectiveness—would not prevent everyone from getting infected with the annoying virus. Knowledge is power, so here's what goes on in your body when you come down with the flu.‎ The influenza virus primarily attacks your nose, throat, and the tubes that lead to your lungs. But the flu is so much more than that. Your muscles ache, your head hurts, and your appetite goes down, among other things. To our surprise, almost all of these symptoms have less to do with the virus itself than with your immune(免疫的)response to them. Unfortunately, the very defense you have in place to get rid of the flu is the reason you feel so painful when you recover.‎ The virus usually enters through your mouth, typically by way of your hands But it takes a few days for symptoms to set in. While this process might cause some harm to your nose and throat, it's nothing major, and nothing like the symptoms that typically accompany a bad or even mild case of the flu.‎ The real fun starts when your immune system begins to fight. Your immune system comes in two parts: the innate system and the adaptive. The innate immune system is essentially an all-purpose tool. As soon as your body senses the presence of any injury or invader (入侵者), the innate immune system launches into action by producing tiny proteins called cytokines and chemokines. The cytokines reproduce almost immediately and start to attack the virus. This increase in immune cells creates an serious inflammation(炎症) throughout the body. But the worst is still to come. Meanwhile, the chemokines work with the adaptive immune system to help create T cells. These cells are a special type of white blood cell that works in a much more specific way: They find the influenza virus, identify what's special about it, and create something unique on their surface that finds and destroys similar invaders.‎ ‎32. What can we infer from Paragraph 1?‎ ‎ A. All the vaccine is not effective.‎ ‎ B. No one can avoid catching this year's flu.‎ ‎ C. This year's flu is the most serious one in recent years.‎ ‎ D. Public health officials have to use a gun when necessary.‎ ‎33. Why many parts of your body suffer while you're recovering from a flu?‎ ‎ A. Because recovery from illness is painful.‎ ‎ B. Because your immune system is working against your defense system.‎ ‎ C. Because your body is fighting hard against the flu.‎ ‎ D. Because the influenza virus attacks your nose, throat and other parts.‎ ‎34. The underlined word “fun” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by .‎ ‎ A. joy B. battle C. action D. program ‎35. What's the main idea of Paragraph 4?‎ ‎ A. The fight between innate immune system and the adaptive.‎ ‎ B. The categories of immune system.‎ ‎ C. The way immune system works.‎ ‎ D. The process of the development of immune system.‎ 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ How to Be Good at Sports If sports are something that interests you, it stands to reason that you would want to be good at them. Here are some tips that can help you become a good player.‎ Set ambitious but realistic goals. If you want to be great at sports, you need to set your aims high.‎ ‎ 36 Instead, you should take a look at what you are, and figure out where you think you would like to be. Give yourself a suitable amount of time to achieve that goal.‎ Be patient. 37 Impatient athletes tend to make poor ones. If you're not patient, you'll try to jump into advanced techniques long before you're ready. You'll feel discouraged when you don't see immediate improvement.‎ Join a sports team. Most of the sports teams are free to join. If you go to school, you should go for team tryouts when they're happening. 38 ‎ Accept criticism. When you play sports, you will unavoidably receive criticism, whether from a coach or other players. 39 Are they angry because you missed a pass, or do they sincerely want to help you improve? In a lot of cases, you can use criticism as motivation to get better.‎ ‎ 40 A skill become mastered when you’re able to do it without thinking. Given ‎ enough time and practice, a skill will eventually fall under this category. When in a game, you won't have time to think everything through, so practice until it's all automatic.‎ A. Skills are often slow to build.‎ B. This does not mean being unrealistic.‎ C. You need to take most of it with a grain of salt.‎ D. Practice until your skills become second nature.‎ E. You also need to be clear about what you are good at.‎ F. If you're not in school, you can find a sports club online.‎ G. An important reason people join sports teams is to make friends.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分 45） ‎ 第一节 （共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分） ‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C 和 D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ Be a Traveler, not a Tourist Last summer, I had just enough money saved to buy a golden ticket—a 3-month train pass that would take me to the furthest reaches of Europe. Excited for my journey, I packed all the necessities—except the 41 .‎ While the convenience of the Internet was definitely a contributing factor to my 42 not to take with me the few expensive kilograms of out-of-date information, this was not the only reason why I decided to fly alone.‎ To be honest, my main 43 with the guidebook is that I find it 44 the pleasure of a journey—like bossy aunt who is always telling you what to do, 45 she doesn’t always know what is the best.‎ Experience has taught me that there is an obvious 46 between a tourist and traveler.‎ While waiting in a queue, I met a man who had a checklist.
