I’m sitting across from him while he eats breakfast at our table. I smile; he says the greatest things. A week ago, however, when he had chocolate on his face and I licked (舔) my finger to wipe it off, he said, “Don’t put your dirty water on me.”‎ A week ago, I wouldn’t have been sitting here with him during breakfast. I wouldn’t have been up, emptying the dishwasher, cleaning the kitchen, or answering emails. We always had dinner together at the table, but other meals got much less attention. I work from home, and my husband owns an advertising agency and often travels. We were so busy that we had to do the chores during breakfast or lunch. ‎ Why was I not sitting down with my son? It could take Jack an hour to eat a meal, during which I could feel the tug (猛拉) of unanswered emails, a deadline, and the unswept floor each minute. ‎ Then we went to visit friends for a weekend. They have two kids. They are busy, professional, and good parents. And at every meal -- not just dinner -- we all sat down at the table and ate. When we got home, my husband said, “Maybe we should be doing that.”‎ I took this as criticism. My husband works a lot, so mealtimes are mostly under my charge. The “we” he was talking about was me.‎ Then, I remembered myself that I’m a big girl, and took his comment the way it was meant. We both want what’s best for Jack. Yes, I thought. I’m home. I have to eat, too. My husband is Jack’s favorite, which delights and moves me, but I am Jack’s constant. Constants are there. Constants sit down.‎ So I’ve been sitting. And, surprise, I haven’t missed a deadline. The house has been clean. And Jack seems to like having me there. Two days ago, over lunch, he smiled and stared at me.‎ ‎“What?” I asked, amused.‎ ‎“Mommy, I love you so much and I can’t stop loving you.”‎ I could have missed that.‎ God, I could have missed that.‎ ‎21. Before visiting the friends, Jack _________.‎ A. didn’t like chocolate B. couldn’t eat by himself C. was sometimes rude to his mom D. preferred his mother to his father ‎22. After visiting the friends, the author _________.‎ A. was determined to learn to cook B. asked her husband to have every meal with her ‎ C. decided to have dinner together with her family D. was advised by her husband to learn from the friends ‎23. What does the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refer to?‎ A. The best time to visit friends.‎ B. Jack saying sweet words to his mom.‎ C. A deadline for answering emails.‎ D. Jack having lunch with his mom. ‎ B Make a five-minute film and win!‎ ‎ Do you love the summer holidays but hate being bored? Then why don’t you enter the Film Street Summer Shorts Competition by making a short film this summer with ‎ your family and friends? ‎ ‎ What you have to do?‎ ‎ To enter the competition, you have to make a short film that is around 5 minutes long (It can be shorter but not longer!) on a digital camera, or mobile phone. ‎ ‎ Awards ‎ The best short film entered into our competition will be shown in Film Street’s Cinema and you’ll win a Cineworld Cinemas pass for yourself and three more for other members of your film crew (电影摄制组). If you have a Cineworld Cinemas pass, you can watch as many films as you like for a year, for free, at any Cineworld Cinema!‎ ‎ Rules ‎ ◆We can’t show films that tell others about either your or any other kids’ name or address. ‎ ‎ ◆We can’t show films that hurt, harm or insult (侮辱) other people. ‎ ‎ ◆We can’t show films that have bad language. ‎ ‎ Copyright Checklist (版权清单)‎ ‎ Getting permission (许可) to use someone else’s work in your film can be expensive, so check your film to make sure that: ‎ ‎ ◆Your film is original and you haven’t copied someone else.‎ ‎ ◆There are no scenes of branding (商标) on shop signs, books, magazines or CDs. ‎ ‎ ◆There are no scenes of someone else’s artwork.‎ ‎ Address and Date ‎ Post your finished film on tape, CD or DVD by Monday, October 1st, 2007 to: ‎ ‎ Film Street Summer Shorts Competition ‎ ‎ First Light Movies ‎ ‎ Unit 6, Third Floor, The Bond ‎ ‎ 180-182 Fazeley Street ‎ Birmingham ‎ B5 5SE ‎ So what’s stopping you? Start making your Film Street Summer Short now!‎ ‎24. Who is the passage written for?‎ ‎ A. Children. B. Parents. C. Teachers. D. Actors. ‎ ‎25. How many Cineworld Cinemas passes will the winner of the competition be awarded in all?‎ ‎ A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. ‎ ‎26.

The underlined word “original” is closest in meaning to _____.‎ ‎ A. interesting enough B. full of exciting moments ‎ C. good for children D. made by yourself C ‎ Putting on a play can be fun. Acting can be like the “let’s pretend (假装)” and dress-up (盛装打扮) games children play. Actors pretend to be other people. They try to look like other persons and talk as other persons do.‎ ‎ Professional (职业的) actors take part in plays and television programs given in New York and other large cities. They earn their living by acting. But other people act in plays just for fun and are not paid for their work. They belong to (属于) little theater groups. In the daytime, they are students, teachers, doctors, lawyers, or police officers. They are actors only in the evenings or on weekends.‎ ‎ One of the country’s oldest little theater groups is in Indianapolis, Indiana. It is called the Players Club, and it put on eight plays a year. People in the city buy tickets to see the plays. Anyone in Indianapolis who wants to act may join the Players Club. Before each play, auditions (试演) are held so that people can try out for the different parts. Not all members of the group are actors. People are also needed to help with the lighting, clothes and makeup.‎ ‎ There are little theater groups in many cities. They continue to put on plays because they bring pleasure to a large number of people. People in a little theater group enjoy having the chance to act, and the audience enjoy watching the plays.‎ ‎28. What the passage talks about takes place in _____.‎ A. New Zealand B. India C. America D. Indonesia ‎29. Why do some people act only in the evenings or on weekends?‎ A. They must sleep during the day.‎ B. In the daytime, they have other things to do.‎ C. No one comes to the theater during the day. ‎ D. They can get higher pay.‎ ‎30. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?‎ A. The members of little theater groups are all actors.‎ B. Only professional actors can take part in little theater groups.‎ C. Both men and women in Indianapolis can take part in the Players Club.‎ D. You don’t need tickets to see the performances of the Players Club.‎ ‎31. What is the best title for this passage?‎ A. Part-time actors B. Full-time actors C. Little theater D. Players Club ‎ ‎ D ‎ While most of us are happy to take the credit when things go well, few of us are willing to take the blame when things go wrong. Rather than trying to hide our shame or embarrassment, experts found that we are simply less aware when our actions result in a negative outcome.‎ ‎ The research may explain why we often feel it hard to take the blame for our actions. “Our result suggests that people may really experience less responsibility for negative than for positive outcomes,” said Patrick Haggard, leading researcher and professor of the institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London.‎ ‎ In a series of tests, participants were asked to press a key. A sound then followed, either disapproving, neutral or approving, and they were then asked to estimate the ‎ time between the action and when they had heard the sound.‎ ‎ Researchers found that individuals experienced different levels of responsibility depending on the outcomes. They also discovered they were significantly slower to recognize if their actions had resulted in a bad consequence, compared to when they had done well.‎ ‎ “Effectively, we have found that we experience a negative outcome differently, not just retell it differently. We make a weaker connection when there is a bad result. And respond much more strongly when something good happens,” said Professor Haggard. When something goes right, everyone wants to take the credit, and when things go wrong, nobody is interested in putting their hand up.‎ ‎ The researchers said our brain is “very much concerned” with reward, as good results are key to survival. Although our own perception (认知) of whether we are guilty of something or not is changed by the outcome, this does not provide a defence if we have done something wrong. “Our experience of our own responsibilities can be misleading and can be strongly coloured by the outcomes of our actions,” said Professor Haggard. “We have to take responsibility for what we actually do, not just for how we experience things.”‎ ‎32.People who don’t take the blame for their actions _______.‎ ‎ A. are less aware of what to do when a negative outcome happens ‎ B. always try to hide their shame or embarrassment.‎ ‎ C. are only willing to take the credit when things go well ‎ D. are less responsible for negative than for positive outcomes ‎33.According to the passage, a person who is concerned with reward is _______.‎ ‎ A. stubborn B. natural C. awkward D. absurd ‎ ‎34.Which of the following statements is TRUE?‎ ‎ A.When something bad happens, nobody is interested in dealing with the problem.‎ ‎ B.People were quicker to recognize if their actions had resulted in a bad consequence.‎ ‎ C.Our responsibilities can be strongly affected by the outcomes of our actions.‎ ‎ D.Participants were asked to count the time between pressing a key and hearing ‎ the sound.‎ ‎35.What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph?‎ ‎ A. We should take more responsibility for what we do. ‎ ‎ B. The reasons why people can’t accept blame when things go wrong.‎ ‎ C. Different levels of responsibility depend on the outcomes.‎ ‎ D. People’s reaction to good results and bad results. ‎ 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。‎ ‎ Last week I sat on the top of a 14,179-foot mountain in Northern California. As I climbed, I began to realize the lessons required to reach the top and make it back down safely. 36__ Some are small. Some are big. There’s always a summit(山顶) we want to reach. Here’s a guide to reaching life’s summits:‎ ‎ Pack light. Aside from the necessities, things do not make life better. 37 The lighter your pack is, the better it is. Life is too short to be filled with excessive(过多的)possessions, emotional baggage or regrets. Positive thoughts, relationships and experiences weigh nothing at all. Pile them on and leave the rest behind. They’ll lift you to the top.‎ ‎ 38 Any major achievement can be broken down into a series of small steps. My pattern for the mountain was 15 steps up, 15 breaths of rest. If I had only focused on the very top, disappointment would have overcome me. If your summit is too hard, break it into smaller steps. Focus on those one by one.‎ ‎ Don’t go at alone. 39 It is good for safety, support, motivation, or simply a companion to share the journey. You’d be silly to go up alone. Life is meant to be experienced with others. Relationships help you do things that prove impossible alone. Don’t leave without your support team.‎ ‎ 40 Halfway up, a passing guide told us if we couldn’t get to the top by 12.30 at the latest, then we should turn back. It’s possible to have thunderstorms. It’s foolish not to learn from and observe guidance of experts.‎ ‎ A. Listen to the experts.‎ ‎ B. Take one step at a time.‎ ‎ C. Failure is a part of the journey.‎ ‎ D. When you climb, a partner is a must.‎ ‎ E. Save some energy for the trip down.‎ ‎ F. In fact, we face our own mountains every day.‎ ‎ G. They often cause more stress and keep you from what’s the most important.‎ 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，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。‎ ‎ Sometimes, people are required to fill in personal information when they register online, which may lead to some 41 trouble.
