If you go to Sibshops, you can ______.‎ A. meet with other peers B. solve your mental problems C. improve sibling relationships D. think of healthy coping skills B My sister and I grew up in a little village in England. Our father was a struggling lawyer, but I always knew he was special. He never criticized us, but used praise to bring out our best. He'd say, "If you pour water on flowers, they flourish (茂盛). If you don't give them water, they die." I remember as a child I said something unkind about somebody, and my father said, "Any time you say something unpleasant about somebody else, it's a reflection of you." He explained that if I looked for the best in people, I would get the best in return. From then on I've always tried to follow the principle in my life and later in running my company.‎ Dad's also always been very understanding. At 15, I started a magazine. It was taking up a great deal of my time, and the headmaster of my school gave me a choice: stay in school or leave to work on my magazine.‎ I decided to leave, and Dad tried to sway me from my decision at first, as any good father would. When he realized I had made up my mind, he said, "Richard, when I was 23, my dad persuaded me to go into law. And I've always regretted it. I wanted to be a biologist, but I didn't pursue my dream. You know what you want. Go fulfill it."‎ As it turned out, my little publication went on to become Student, a national magazine for young people in the U.K. My wife and I have two children, and I'd like to think we are bringing them up in the same way Dad raised me.‎ ‎24．What can we know about the author’s father?‎ A. He was a specialist in law.‎ B. He usually encouraged kids.‎ C. He seldom looked for the best.‎ D. He was a father without principles.‎ ‎25．The author left school at 15 mainly because_________.‎ A. the school forced him to B. he had a dream to realize C. he had to work for money D. his father understood him.‎ ‎26．The underlined phrase in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by ________.‎ A. accuse me of B. remind me of C. agree with me on D. persuade me out of ‎27．What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A. My Respectable Father B. Be nice to Others C. My Happy Childhood D. Go Fulfill Your Dream C According to a recent study out of the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, men with shaved heads are considered to be more manly, powerful, and successful than those with longer hair or thinning(稀少的 ) hair. Besides, in some cases, they are considered to have greater leadership potential. That may explain why the power-buzz look has become popular among business leaders in recent years.‎ Albert Mannes, Wharton management lecturer, said he was encouraged to do the research after noticing that he was treated with more respect when he shaved off his thinning hair.‎ Mannes did three experiments to test people’s impression of men with shaved heads. In one of the experiments, he showed 344 subject photos of the same men in two versions: one showing the men with hair and the other showing them with their hair digitally removed, so their heads appear shaved. In all three tests, the subject report found the men with shaved heads are more dominant( 占优势的) than their hairy counterparts(对应的人).‎ The study found that men with thinning hair were viewed as the least attractive and powerful. For those men, the solution could be as cheap and simple as a shave.‎ New York image consultant Julie Rath advised her clients to get closely cropped(剪短) when they start thinning up top. “There is something really strong, powerful and confident about laying it all bare,” she said, describing the thinning look as kind of raunchy(不修边幅的).‎ Not everyone needs a bare head. Rick Devine, 55, the CEO of Devine Capital Partners, advised executive candidates attracted by their clippers to keep their hair closely cropped, rather than completely shaved. “It is way too much image risk,” he said, “The best thing you can do in a business meeting is to make your look not an issue.”‎ ‎28．We can learn from paragraph 1 that men with shaved heads have more chances to _________.‎ A. be liked by their leader B. become business leaders C. be laughed at by their leaders D. feel stressed from their work ‎29．When did Albert Mannes decide to do the research?‎ A. Long before he shaved his own thinning hair.‎ B. When he was looked down upon because of his thinning hair.‎ C. When people treated him more respectfully after he shaved his thinning hair.‎ D. When he noticed that others began to shave their thinning hair.‎ ‎30．The underlined part in Paragraph 4 probably means that the solution is to _________.‎ A. buy a pair of cheap scissors.‎ B. have a cheap shave C. keep their thinning hair D. shave their own thinning hair ‎31．What’s the author’s attitude toward men’s bare heads?‎ A. Objective B. Negative C. Positive D. Doubtful D Life comes in a package. This package includes happiness and sorrow, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day we learn to handle various situations.‎ Love Love plays a vital role in our life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could become cruel and ferocious( 残忍的 ). In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who show us with unconditional love and care, and they teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad. But we always tend to take this for granted. It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others’ feelings. 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’ face gives a certain level of fulfillment. Peace of mind is the main link to happiness. 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 Failure is the path to success. It helps us touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Success brings in money, fame, pride and self-respect. Here it becomes very important to keep our head on our shoulder. The only way to show our gratitude to God for bestowing(授予) success on us is by being humble, modest, courteous and respectful to the less fortunate ones.‎ 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. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, 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 bright or dull. The only alternative is to work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.‎ ‎32．What would be the best title for the passage?‎ A. Life is a Journey of Ups and Downs B. Love Plays an Important Role in Our Life C. Failure is the Path to Success D. Hope Keeps Life Going ‎33．What is the author’s understanding of happiness?‎ A. Materialistic happiness leads to people living a short life.‎ B. Smiling to others adds to our happiness.‎ C. Happiness is temporary and passes away.‎ D. Happiness is closely related with peace of mind.‎ ‎34．In the author’s opinion, tomorrow _________.‎ A. is beyond our control B. is bright and hopeful C. calls for today’s efforts D. counts for more than yesterday ‎35．The passage is most likely to be found in a ________.‎ A. magazine B. tourist guide C. book review D. science report 第三部分：完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分）‎ 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出最佳选项，并在 答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ I often recall those good old days.
