Mr. Bachmann stopped the fight, but instead of sending me to the office, he sat me down and asked a simple question，“Penna, why are you wasting your life? Why aren't you going to college？”‎ I didn't know anything about colleges or scholarships. No one had ever considered that a fatherless boy from the poorest neighborhood had a future. That day, instead of rushing off for lunch, he stayed and explained possible education options to me. At the end of our talk, he sent me to see a secretary who had a child at a state college. This was in 1962 at Emerson High School in Union City‎, ‎New Jersey.‎ Well, 53 years have passed, and what have I done with the knowledge he gave me? I gained a PhD from Fordham University when I was only 29. I taught English and social studies and then moved up the chain of command from teacher to principal (校长)．‎ I've sat on the board for Magnet Schools of America and represented that organization at the United Nations. I've won a number of great educational awards. But where would I be if a truly caring teacher had not taken the time out of his lunch period to speak to me? It was without question only his confidence in me that helped me forward.‎ I have repaid his kindness hundreds of times by encouraging misguided youngsters to aim higher. If I have saved any children, it is because of him. If I have been a successful educator, it is because I had a great role model in Mr.Bachmann.‎ ‎21.The writer ________ before Mr.Bachmann talked to him.‎ A．was an active boy B．was an aimless boy C．liked making troubles in class D．would get punished by his teachers ‎22．Which of the following best describes Mr.Bachmann?‎ A．Fair.　　B．Inspiring. C．Confident. D．Humorous.‎ ‎23．How did Mr.Bachmann influence the writer?‎ A．He tried to set a good example to the writer. B．He set the writer on the right path. C．He was strict with the writer. D．He helped the writer with his study. ‎ ‎24．What does the writer think of his achievement?‎ A．He owes his achievement to Mr.Bachmann. ‎ B．He feels his effort gets paid off at last. ‎ C．He is very proud of himself.‎ D．He thinks it an honor to be a successful educator.‎ B The new highspeed railway line between Urumqi, capital of the Xinjiang Uygur selfgoverning region, and Lanzhou, capital of Gansu‎ ‎Province, has cut train travel time by half to less than 12 hours.‎ ‎ The dramatic improvement will benefit many families planning reunions for Spring Festival.‎ ‎“For the first time, I feel home is not that far away after all，” said Liang Shaofu as he boarded a highspeed train in Urumqi with six members of his family.‎ ‎ The 35yearold left Lanzhou to set up a dry fruit business in Xinjiang eight years ago, and he has now settled in Urumqi.‎ ‎ The 1,776km line, which passes through Qinghai‎ ‎Province and is the country's first highspeed railway to be built in a highaltitude region, came into service on Dec. 26.‎ ‎“We normally drive home for Spring Festival to avoid the difficulties of buying seven train tickets for the whole family during the peak season,” Liang said. “Driving can be very tiring and dangerous sometimes, so one year we even decided not to go back to Lanzhou simply to avoid the trip.”‎ ‎ More than 600,000 passengers traveled on the line during its first month, and the Urumqi Railway Bureau said the introduction of highspeed services will ease transport pressure during the Spring Festival peak season.‎ The existing usual railway line could no longer support Xinjiang's development. All passenger ‎ ‎ trains will gradually shift to the new link, leaving the old one to be used for goods. As a result, Xinjiang's annual goods ability could reach 200 million metric tons from the current 70 million.‎ The line passes through areas that experience high winds, and it also crosses parts of the deserted QinghaiTibet Plateau and the bonedry sands of the Gobi‎ ‎Desert.‎ ‎ “The project could help China to promote its highspeed railway technology abroad,” said Ma Xizhang, director of the LanzhouXinjiang railway project's management department in Xinjiang.‎ ‎25．How long did it take to go from Urumqi to Lanzhou by the usual train before? ‎ A．About 12 hours. B．About 24 hours. ‎ C．About 18 hours. D．About 6 hours.‎ ‎26．What's the main advantage of the new highspeed railway?‎ A．It takes less time to go from Urumqi to Xi'an.‎ B．It will be more convenient for people all over the country to Xinjiang.‎ C．It helps to improve Xinjiang's development.‎ D．All the people in Lanzhou can return home on festivals.‎ ‎27．From the passage we can learn ________.‎ A．the new railway technology may help more railway lines to be built abroad B．Xinjiang's annual goods ability can increase nearly four times C．the highspeed railway lines can't be built across the bonedry sands D．the old railway lines can only carry goods now ‎28．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? ‎ A．The new highspeed railway line is good for all people to go home. ‎ B．The new highspeed railway line benefits businessmen to carry goods.‎ C．Taking the new train is safer than driving home from Urumqi to Lanzhou.‎ D．Businessmen seldom went home for Spring Festival before.‎ C ‎ We don't know how different our future will be in the future. We can only try to imagine it.‎ ‎ At first we think about human relationship. In the year 2050, we will use computers almost every day. We will be making new friends through the Internet—even our husbands or wives will be met in this way. It will be much faster and easier for us. On the other hand，our relationships with people won't be as ‎ important as they are today—we will feel a little lonely.‎ ‎ Computers will also help us in many other activities in 2050. For example，they will be used by the children at school to make their learning easier. In addition, there will be much more other machines which will play a similar role as computers, like robots which will do the housework for us. ‎ ‎ Spending holidays will also be completely different. Traveling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone. Means of transport will, of course, change, too. We will be using solarpowered cars, which will be much more environmentally friendly.‎ ‎ We could expect that the faster technological progress would lead to a more polluted environment. But it isn't true. We will pay more attention to protecting the environment. And, scientists will probably find cures for many dangerous diseases, like cancer or AIDS. Therefore, our surroundings as well as health will be in a better condition.‎ ‎ Although we can't predict the exact changes which will be made in the world，we often think about them. We worry about ourselves and our children's future; we have expectations, hopes as well as fears. But I think we should be rather sanguine about our future. We should be happy and believe good things will happen.‎ ‎29. Why will people probably feel a little lonely in 2050?‎ A. Because the number of people will become much smaller.‎ B. Because there will be less facetoface communication.‎ C. Because people won't like making friends with each other.‎ D. Because people won't communicate with each other more often.‎ ‎30. The third paragraph mainly tells us ________.‎ A. that computers will do all the things for human beings B. how people will use computers to communicate with each other C. that machines like computers and robots will help people a lot D. how people will use robots to do the housework ‎31. According to the passage, which of the following will happen in 2050?‎ A. The relationship between people will be more important than today.‎ B. The way of spending holidays will be the same as that of today.‎ C. Our environment will be much more polluted with a growing number of cars.‎ D. It won't be difficult for people to travel to other planets.‎ ‎32. The underlined word“sanguine”in the last paragraph most probably means “________”．‎ A．disappointed　　B．surprised C．optimistic D．curious D For centuries, in the countries of South and Southeast Asia, the elephant has been an important part of the culture, economy and religion. And nowhere more so than in Thailand. Unlike its African cousin, the Asian elephant is easily domesticated. The rare socalled white elephants have actually lent the power of royalty to its rulers, and until the 1920s the national flag was a white elephant on a red background. To the early Western visitors, the country's romantic name was “Land of the White Elephant”．‎ Today, however, the story is very different. Out of work and out of land, the Thai elephant struggles for survival in a nation that no longer needs it. The elephant has found itself more or less deserted by previous owners who have moved on to a different economic world and a society in the western part. And while the elephant's problems began many years ago, now it has a very low national advantage.‎ How does the national symbol turn into ignored animals? It is a story of worse environment and the changing lives of the Thais themselves. According to Richard Lair, Thailand's expert on the Asian elephant and author of the report Gone Astray, at the turn of the last century, there may well have been as many as 100,000 national elephants in the country.‎ In the north of Thailand alone, it was estimated that more than 20,000 elephants were employed in transport, 1,000 of them alone on the road between the cities of Chiang Mai and Chiang Saen. This was at a time when 90 percent of Thailand was still forest—a habitat that not only supported the animals but also made them necessary to carry goods and people. Nothing ploughs through thick forest better than lots of surefooted elephants.‎ By 1950 the elephant population had dropped, but still to the number of 13,397. However, today there are probably no more than 3,800, with another 1,350 wandering free in the national parks. But now, Thailand's forest covers only 20 percent of the land. This deforestation (采伐森林) is the central point of the elephant's difficult situation, for it has effectively put the animals out of work. This century, as the road network grew, the elephant's_role as a beast of burden decreased. ‎ ‎33．Thailand was once called “Land of the White Elephant” because ________.‎ A．the white elephant was a national symbol until the 1920s B．the white elephant is rarely seen now and thus very special C．the white elephant has helped kings to gain the ruling authority D．this name was so romantic that it was popular among visitors ‎34．Why is the Thai elephant “out of work”， according to the author?‎ A．Because there are too many elephants but too few jobs.‎ B．Because the elephants can't do labor work any longer.‎ C．Because the elephants are no longer useful to their owners.‎ D．Because the government pays little attention to the problem.‎ ‎35．The passage is most probably from ________.‎ A．a research report B．a history book C．a travel magazine D．an official announcement 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。‎ 注意：如果此题有选E则在该答题卡中用2B铅笔涂黑AB两格；选F则涂黑BC两格；选G则涂黑CD两格。‎ E ‎ How do you enter a room full of strangers? Do you walk right in full of confidence? Or do you try to slip in without being noticed? __36__ ‎ ‎ In life, we admire those who do their tasks confidently. We prefer people who appear to know what they are doing. But where does that confidence begin?‎ ‎ Developing selfconfidence starts very early. It's parents' role to get kids on the right track toward becoming confident people. __37__ That can be done by focusing on the child's strengths. Parents should encourage their children to try new things and take risks. When children make mistakes, their parents should still let them know that they are loved. Children whose parents do these things will likely develop into confident adults. __38__ So what's the solution?‎ ‎ ●With most things in life, practice makes perfect, and that is true of confidence skills.__39__‎ ‎ ●Always hold your head high and look people in the eye. Answer questions clearly and confidently. ‎ ‎ ●Focus on the things that you do well, and look for opportunities to use those abilities.‎ ‎ ●Prepare thoroughly for every project. You'll approach the task more confidently knowing that you are ready. ‎ ‎ ●__40__ It could be a good test score or a prize from a contest. Remind yourself that one success often leads to the next.‎ ‎ However, all humans fail at times, and you will too. Even with efforts to try all the above, you will never be perfect. But you can learn to love and accept yourself and live your life with confidence.‎ A．The more you practice them, the easier they will become.‎ B．Keep in mind an item that reminds you of a recent success.‎ C．The way you go into new situations shows your level of selfconfidence.‎ D．Learning from mistakes helps you face the same situation later without fear.‎ E．To help that process, parents should always offer more praise than criticism.‎ F. Our goal is to prepare students to go into the world with confidence.G．But selfconfidence still doesn't come easily.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用 (共两节, 满分45)‎ 第一节 完形填空 (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四个选项 (A、B、C和D)中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ What is it that you love to do but never feel that you get it quite right?
