As the only ‎ girl in a family of seven children, she often felt like she had “seven fathers,” because her six brothers, as well as her father, tried to control her. Feeling shy and unimportant, she retreated(躲避) into books. Despite her love of reading, she did not do well in elementary school because she was too shy to participate.‎ In high school, with the encouragement of one particular teacher, Cisneros improved her grades and worked for the school literary magazine. Her father encouraged her to go to college because he thought it would be a good way for her to find a husband. Cisneros did attend college, but instead of searching for a husband, she found a teacher who helped her join the famous graduate writing program at the University of Iowa. At the university’s Writers’ Workshop, however, she felt lonely a Mexican American from a poor neighborhood among students from wealthy families. The feeling of being so different helped Cisneros find her “Creative voice.” “It was not until this moment when I considered myself truly different that my writing acquired a voice. I knew I was a Mexican woman, but I didn’t think it had anything to do with why I felt so much imbalance in my life, but it had everything to do with it! That’s when I decided I would write about something my classmates couldn’t writeabout.”‎ Cisneros published her first work, The House on Mango Street, when she was twenty-nine. The book tells about a young Mexican American girl growing up in a Spanish-speaking area in Chicago, much like the neighborhoods in which Cisneros lived as a child. The book won an award in 1985 and has been used in classes from high school through graduate school level. Since then, Cisneros has published several books of poetry, a children’s book, and a short-story collection.‎ 2. Which of the following is TRUE about Cisneros in herchildhood?‎ A.

The graduate program gave Cisneros a chance to.‎ A. work for aschoolmagazine B. run away from herfamily C. make a lotoffriends D. develop her writingstyle 4. According to Cisneros, what played the decisive role in hersuccess?‎ A. Her early yearsin college. B. Her training in the Workshop.‎ C. Her feeling ofbeingdifferent. D. Her childhoodexperience.‎ 5. What do we learn about The House on MangoStreet?‎ A. It is quite popularamong students. B. It is the only book ever written byCisneros.‎ C. It wasn’t success as it was writteninSpanish. D. It won an award when Cisneros ‎ wastwenty-nine.‎ C English songs have been very popular for people around the world for many decades. Singers，from Elvis Presley to Ricky Martin，from the Beatles to Eminen and from Natalie Cole to Britney Spears，have all been sitting in everyone’s heart，even for people who don’t speak English. But will you have better English skills if you listen to English songs for a long time?‎ From my experiences，some people listen to English songs for 20－30 years but still haven’t accomplished any good English skills. Some people choose English songs to be the “main learning approach”， but most of them have failed.‎ Listening to English songs does not help you to speak English fluently. It does help you gain some vocabularies. Most of them are unusual ones that you don’t use in your everyday life. You won’t learn the sentence “It is a complicate project. We really need to meet the deadline.” in any English songs. People like using English songs to practice English skills because it’s easy and enjoyable. They think that sitting in the car listening to English songs day by day can improve their English skills. It is not thatactually.‎ You will not improve your listening skills because normal people don’t speak with melody ( 乐 调)．Peopledon’ttalklikeEminen’ssongs(well，actually，someteenagersdo).Youcan’tgetyourselffamiliar with English pronunciation or accent just from listening to English songs. The words that they pronounce in the songs are not the words that you will hear in your everyday life. It often even confuses you more how English is pronounced.‎ I would fully encourage you to watch English movies，listen to radio news or other normal talks，but not music. Of course，you can consume it for fun but not the aim to improve your English skills.‎ 2. What’s the text mainlyabout?‎ A. How English songs help people practice Englishskills.‎ B. Who has made English songs popular all over theworld.‎ C. Why people won’t improve their English by listening to Englishsongs.‎ D. Where people can find good English songs to practice their Englishskills.‎ 3. English songs are helpful for English learners if theywantto .‎ A. speakEnglishfluently B. enlarge theirvocabularies C. improve theirlisteningskills D. learn to express themselves in daily life 30．Which of the following won’t probably appear in Englishsongs?‎ A. Country road, takeme home. B. Every night I see you, I feelyou.‎ C. It’s not a big thing if you leaveme. D. We need to meet the deadline though it’s tough.‎ 31. What’s the author’s attitude towards improving English by listening to Englishsongs?‎ A.indifferent B.negative C.objective D. favorable D What do you usually do to comfort your friends when they are sad? You probably pat them on the shoulder, or give them a warm hug.‎ We used to think that knowing when and how to comfort others was an ability that only humans have.‎ But scientists have discovered that apes (猩猩) have this ability too.‎ Two researchers from Emory University in Atlanta, US, went to an Ape Protection Centre in Congo to study bonobos (倭黑猩猩), which are closely related to humans.‎ The researchers analyzed the bonobos’ reactions (反应) after more than 370 cases of stressful situations,‎ such as fights and losing temper, and found that some bonobos rushed to hug those that were screaming after being attacked, just like humans would have done.‎ However, researchers found that not all bonobos were able to comfort others. In the protection center, many bonobos are orphans whose mothers were killed by hunters. They were found to be more worried in times of tension and have greater difficulty controlling their own emotions, making them worse at reaching out to help friends in need.‎ ‎“Orphans, who have not had the benefit of a mother helping them handling their emotions, are much worse at comforting others,” Professor Frans de Waal told The Telegraph. “Bonobos with moms were able to curb their negative emotional reactions more quickly. Therefore, they pay more attention to others.”‎ This pattern mirrors the way that human children have been found to react. Those who are good at handling their own emotions—for example, those who can calm themselves down more quickly after upsetting experiences—are usually better at expressing their concerns forothers.‎ 32. The 5th paragraph is mainlydeveloped by ．‎ A.makingcomparisons B. following time order C.givingexamples D. presenting causes andeffects 33. The underlined word “curb” in the 6th paragraphprobablymeans“ ”．‎ A.express B.watch C.hide D. control 34. ‎Which of the following statements is TRUE according to thepassage?‎ A. Orphan bonobos never give a hand tofriends.‎ B. There were 370 bonobos in theresearch.‎ C. Moms play an important role in dealing with kids’emotions.‎ D. Only human beings have the ability to comfortothers.‎ 32. What’s the main purpose of thispassage?‎ A. To provide better protectionforApes. B. To inform readers of a new study.‎ C. To uncover the mysteryofApes. D. To compare human behaviors withApes’.‎ 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ It is important for our children to understand the importance of respect, so that they can communicate successfully with others all their lives. Below are some helpful suggestions on how to teach your child about respect.‎ ‎ 36 A child may obey you simply because he is afraid of you. However, when a child understands that your rules and actions are for his own good, he will obey you because he respectsyou.‎ Treat others with respect. 37 Seeing respectful adult behavior helps your child learn the value of respect and how to use it to his advantages. If you are caught being rude to others, your child will take this as acue(暗示) thatit’s OKto be disrespectfulto others.‎ Avoid over-reacting. As your child enters the teen years, it can be extremely difficult to show respect and build a good relationship with your child when he is being disrespectful to you. It’s important --- though challenging---notto stoop(俯身)to theirlevel. 38 ‎ ‎39 Let them know that their words and feelings are important to you. Respect their privacyby knocking before entering their room and ask that they do the same.40 ‎ Keep in mind that schools may teach children about respect, but it is you, the parent, that holds the most effect over your children.‎ A. Help your child developself-respect.‎ B. Treat your kids withrespect.‎ C. You cannot be with your child every minute of theday.‎ D. Tellrespectfromobedience(顺从).‎ E. Truly listen to them when they have something tosay.‎ A. It takes a lot of strength to walk away and not to shoutback.‎ B. Kids are greatly affected byadults.‎ 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项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ On the first day of my school life in the USA, I showed a great interest in marketing class(营销课).
