Dan’s brother John offered to go instead though he did not know anything about sailing. Mark agreed and they set out to sea.‎ ‎ Soon they found themselves in a thick fog. Mark was sure that they would be hit by a big ship. Fortunately he saw a large buoy (浮标) through the fog and decided to tie the boat to it for safety. As he was getting onto the buoy, however, he dropped the wet rope. The boat moved away in the fog carrying John, who did not know how to use the radio. He drifted (漂流) about and was not seen until twelve hours later.‎ Mark spent the night on the buoy. In the early morning he fell asleep. He was having a bad dream when a shout woke him up. A ship, the Good Hope, came up and he climbed onto it and thanked the captain. The captain told him that John had been picked up by another ship and the ship's captain had sent out a message. “Without the message I would not have found you on the buoy,” he said. ‎ ‎1.

John and Mark became separated because ____________.‎ A. there wasn’t room for both John and Mark on the buoy B. John couldn’t control the boat and drifted away ‎ C. Mark thought it safe to stay on the buoy but John didn’t ‎ ‎ D. John had to stay in the boat to use radio for help ‎4.

In some cases, having high self-esteem can bring bad results if it makes you less likeable or more upset when you fail at something.‎ ‎“Forget about self-esteem,” says one of the psychologists involved in the new research. “It’s not the most important thing.”‎ This idea may sound a bit strange to you because studies also show that people with high self-esteem are less likely to be anxious, shy, or lonely than those with low self-esteem. In short, to feel good does you good.‎ But, after reviewing about 18,000 studies on self-esteem, Roy Baumeister, a psychologist at Florida State University, has found that building up your self-esteem will not necessarily make you a better person. He believes that violent and evil people often have the highest self-esteem of all. He also said, “There’s no evidence that kids with high self-esteem do better in school.”‎ All types of people have problems. “People with high self-esteem can have big egos(自我) that can make them less likeable to their peers,” said Kathleen Vohs, a psychology professor at Columbia University. “People with high self-esteem tend to (趋向于) think more of themselves,” Vohs says. People with low self-esteem are more likely to rely on their friends when they need help.‎ Researchers say it is best to listen to and support other people. Find positive ways to contribute to society. If you fail at something, try to learn from the experience. The best therapy(药方), as they suggest, is to recognize your faults, accept yourself, understand your weaknesses and then do something about them.‎ ‎5. What’s the author’s attitude towards high self-esteem?‎ A. Objective. B. Subjective. C. Neutral. D. Indifferent.‎ ‎6. What’s the passage mainly about?‎ A. High self-esteem is the key to success.‎ B. New research shows that high self-esteem may not be helpful.‎ C. New research shows that high self-esteem can only bring bad results.‎ D. People with high self-esteem are less likeable.‎ ‎7. What does the underlined part “a better person” probably mean?‎ A. A person who is friendly and kind.‎ B. A person who is successful and wealthy.‎ C. A person who is successful and brave.‎ D. A person who is helpful and supportive.‎ ‎8. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?‎ A. The best therapy mentioned is mainly for people of all kinds.‎ B. The best therapy mentioned is mainly for people with low self-esteem.‎ C. The best therapy mentioned is mainly for people with high self-esteem.‎ D. The best therapy mentioned is mainly for people who fail at something ‎ C My teacher, Mr. August J. Bachmann, was the most influential teacher I ever had.‎ I had gotten into trouble in his class: Another student had pushed me for fun, and I became angry and began to hit him. 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.‎ ‎28. The writer ________ before Mr. Bachmann talked to him.‎ A. was an active boy. B. liked making troubles in class.‎ C. was an aimless boy. D. would get punished by his teachers.‎ ‎29 Which of the following best describes Mr. Bachmann?‎ A. Fair. B. Confident. C. Inspiring. D. Humorous.‎ ‎30. How did Mr. Bachmann influence the writer?‎ A. He set the writer on the right path. ‎ B. He tried to set a good example to the writer. ‎ C. He was strict with the writer. ‎ D. He helped the writer with his study. ‎ ‎31. What does the writer think of his achievement?‎ A. He is very proud of himself. B. He feels his effort gets paid off at last. ‎ C. He owes his achievement to Mr. Bachmann. ‎ D. He thinks it an honor to be a successful educator.‎ ‎ D Artificial(假的) flowers are used for scientific as well as for decorative purposes. They are made from a variety of materials, such as wax and glass, so skillfully that they can scarcely be distinguished from natural flowers. In making such models, painstaking and artistry are called for, as well as thorough knowledge of plant structure. The collection of glass flowers in the Botanical Museum of Harvard University is the most famous in North America and is widely known throughout the ‎ scientific world. In all, there are several thousand models in colored glass, the work of two artist-naturalists, Leopold Blaschka and his son Rudolph. The intention was to have the collection represent at least one member of each flower family native to the United States. Although it was never completed. It contains more than seven hundred species representing 164 families of flowering plants, a group of fruits showing the effect of fungus diseases, and thousands of flower parts and magnified details. Every detail of these is accurately reproduced in color and structure. The models are kept in locked cases as they are too valuable and fragile for classroom use. ‎12. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. An Extensive Collection of Glass Flowers  B. The Lives of Leopold and Rudolph C. Flowers Native to the United States D. Material Used for Artificial Flowers ‎13. It can be inferred from the passage that the goal of Leopold and Rudolph was to ______________. A. create a botanical garden where only exotic flowers grew B. do a thorough study of plant structure C. make a copy of one member of each United States flower family D. show that glass are more realistic than wax flowers ‎14.The underlined word “it” refers to ______________. A. the intention　 B. the collection　　C. one member D. each flower family ‎15. Which of the following statements is true of the flowers at Harvard University?‎ A. They form a completed collection. B. They have a marvelous fragrance. C. They are loaned to schools for classroom use. D. They use authentic representations.‎ II. 七选五 （共五小题，每题3分，共15分）‎ How to Care for Your Ears?‎ Ears not only let us hear, but they also play a role in maintaining our balance, ‎ which is important to our ability to function in daily life. Yet, we ignore them. We can’t even see our ears, except in a mirror. We take for granted what they do for us day in and day out－until we notice something’s wrong, such as when an earache strikes or when we start having to ask people to repeat what they say. 16 ‎ ‎◆ Clean your ear with a washcloth－covered finger only. ‎ Never put anything inside your ear canal, including cotton swabs (药签). 17 ‎ ‎◆ Leave earwax(耳垢) alone. ‎ Wax is your ear’s way of eliminating(消除) anything foreign that gets into the ear canal. 18 If you find you have too much earwax, use a few drops of earwax remover(去除剂) in the canal. After a few minutes, wash the ear with warm water.‎ ‎◆ Avoid noisy places. ‎ Rock concerts and construction sites are just a few places that frequently have noise levels that can damage hearing. Any place where you have to shout to be heard should be avoided.‎ ‎◆ 19 ‎ Be careful not to play MP3 too loud, especially if using earphone.‎ ‎◆Be careful with illness and medications. ‎ Respiratory (呼吸的) illnesses should be treated to avoid their spread to the ears. Certain medications can damage hearing, so follow the directions carefully before taking them.‎ See your doctor if you suffer from sudden hearing loss or hear noises in your head. __20 ‎ A. Most people don’t need to clean wax out of their ears.‎ B. In such case, go to see a doctor as soon as possible.‎ C. These can be symptoms of a serious illness which needs to be treated.‎ D.
