21．（6分）Aryan worked for a well-known film and he had a loving and caring family. Aryan’s par ents considered themselves to be the luckiest, to be blessed with such a wonderful child. But on the other hand, Aryan was not happy with himself, since he thought himself to be an ugly, unconfident and unattractive person.

One evening, while returning home from work, he, along with many people, was waiting for the bus. On arrival of the bus, Aryan somehow made his way into the bus and managed to find a seat.

After sitting, he looked around the bus and noticed a handsome and charming man sitting opposite him. On looking towards the man, Aryan became sad once again regarding his looks and personality. All types of bad thoughts started coming in his mind that he was not worth this beautiful world. He thought that lucky man, with such a beautiful and attractive face, must always be the center of attraction.

Aryan became jealous of that man and could not bear him in front of him. So he changed his seat to avoid him. On the way all the negative feelings kept coming to his mind, imagining how his life would have been only if he were more handsome and good looking.

Finally on reaching the destination he came out of the bus. As he was walking, a person suddenly pushed Aryan from back. Aryan angrily turned around and what he saw brought tears in Aryan’s eyes.

The same “fortunate” man he had been envying all his way had difficulty in walking, since his one leg was shorter than the other. The “fortunate” man apologized to Aryan, but Aryan couldn’t say a word and walked away with tears in his eyes and guilt in his heart.

While walking, he realized that we must be satisfied and happy with what we are and even the basic qualities that we have might be a dream to someone else. So we should be grateful with what we have.

1、What made Aryan feel unsatisfied?

A．His career. B．His family.

C．His appearance. D．His expectation.

2、Why did Aryan take another seat on the bus after seeing the man opposite him?

A．Because the bus was too crowded.

B．Because he didn’t think he was worth this beautiful world.

C．Because he envied the man’s looks.

D．Because he wanted to be the center of attraction.

3、What can we infer from the sixth paragraph?

A．The “fortunate” man had trouble in walking.

B．The “fortunate” man was more lucky than Aryan.

C．Aryan wouldn’t forgive the “fortunate” man.

D．Aryan felt ashamed for his mistaken thought.

4、What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Happiness lies in content.

B．Every dog has his day.

C．Each bird loves to hear himself sing.

D．No man is born wise.

22．（8分）If you feel yourself turning into an old grouch(脾气坏的人), don’t worry — happiness is just

around the bend. A survey has found that although happiness dips in those in their 30s and 40s, people start to feel more content with life after the age of 50.

However an economist found that older people will never again regain the excitement of youth. Rather it is thought that with age, individuals become more pragmatic about the ups and downs that life brings and accept their fortune.

He questioned those in Britain, Switzerland and Germany and applied the findings t o people’s life cycle.

Mr. Van Landeghem, 29, said:“A happiness curve does not necessarily imply that a 65-year-old prefers his own life to the life of a 25-year-old.”

“Both the 25-year-old and 65-year-old might agree that it is nicer to be 25 than to be 65. But te

65-year-old might nevertheless be more satisfied, as he has learned to be satisfied with what he has.”

It was suggested the mid-life happiness dip is because this is when people have the most responsibilities — taking care of a family, paying a mortgage (抵押贷款) and having a demanding career. The middle-aged dip in happiness was also compared to that of losing a close relative or suddenly becoming unemployed.

The study is just one of many put forward as an indicator of what makes for a happy life.

Psychologists concluded that having money makes you happier, but only if you have a lot more than your friends and neighbors. At the same time, you’d better have enough tie to enjoy yourself instead of spending all your time on making money.

Separate research found that owning the house of your dreams, the car you always longed for and having millions in the bank doesn’t stop that desire to keep up with the Joneses (攀比). And if the Joneses have more than you do, you’ll be miserable. It seems envy at being lo wer in the social pecking order (权势等级) reduces the satisfaction of being well off.

If you just do what you love and you are good at, which society also values much, you may have a higher probability to be happy. But if your job pays less, how can you stick to it in disregard of responsibilities? Happiness means different things from different points of view, and point of view grows from one’s experience and knowledge. Perhaps it comes with you when you don’t need to think about adult problems or when you are wise enough to understand what satisfaction is.

24．（8分）Travelers to a new city are often encouraged to take a bus tour. The thinking is that they can later return to the places that attracted them, but that’s nonsense! What you see from the inside of a

fast-moving bus is sanitized (清洁的) and unreal , entirely removed from the real sights, sounds, and smells outside.

The best way to experience any destination is by foot, without an itinerary, wandering where your spirit leads you. Even in the largest cities, the savvy(资深的) traveler plunges into the very center of town and walks down the nearest street, experiencing the actual life of the people while looking into the grocery stores and courtyard. You eventually get to many of the same sites that are on the bus route--the museums, the monuments, the city hall--but you will have witnessed so much more because you will have felt the contemporary life of the city you’re visiting.

“But what if I get lost?” people ask. No one ever gets permanently lost in a major city. Eventually, a trolley or bus passes with the words “Central Station” on its front and you can easily return to the center of

town. Besides, the most wonderful things can happen if you do get lost, such as stopping at a sidewalk cafe to sit and relax and then asking directions from the locals at the next table. Hopefully , your trip may be attractive by this encounter. Here are a few ways to make the most of your travels:

Know before you go. Before you depart, spend time in a library or bookstore, learning about the history and culture of your destination so you will better understand th e place you’re visiting .

Move around like a local. Use the local subways, trams and buses. You’ll not only save money, you’ll learn how people live there , and you’ll gain a realistic perspective of the city.

Check the bulletin board. Bulletin boards list free lectures, concerts, workshops and social gatherings, giving you a chance to join or meet the area’s most dynamic residents.

Take a walking tour. If you must book a guided tour, select the nonstandard , inexpensive kinds conducted on foot.

So, the next time you feel lured by a sightseeing bus tour, save your money and instead, wander around on your own. I promise you a time you’ll remember fondly.

1、What does the author think of a bus tour?

A．It is reasonable. B．It is fast.

C．Y ou can’t be exposed to the outside world. D．It is noisy.

2、What does the underlined word in Para 2 mean?

A．a guided book for travelers. B．a car.

C．a bag. D．something to eat.

3、Why is traveling by foot one of the best choices to experience the city?

A．Because you can buy anything you like.

B．Because you can get to the same destination as the bus tour.

C．Because you can experience the real life in person.

D．Because you can go to museums and city halls where the bus doesn’t get.

4、How do you make the most of your travel? Which statement is not true?

A．Read some introduction of the place where you want to go.

B．Join the local workshop and social gatherings.

C．Join a tour without a guide.

D．Use the public transportation as well as visit on foot.

5、What’s the main idea of this passage?

A．How to avoid getting lost.

B．How to make the most of your travel.

C．Bus tour is not as good as we think.

D．How to travel with a budge

25．（10分）With child behavior, there is almost much more than it meets the eye. Because it occurs at so many different levels, child behavior that seems simple at one level can often be much more complex and meaningful at another.

For instance, a little child’s pattern of getting into cupboards, drawers and closed rooms, even after being told not to, is easily considered as bad behavior. When viewed at that level, the pattern is unacceptable and could lead to punishment. But it can be viewed at a more complex and meaningful level, namely child exploration. If a child regularly experiences an angry parent who seems determined to prevent any exploratory activities, the child will decide to continue to achieve future discoveries. When parents view this behavior as born out of natural curiosity rather than simple opposition, they are more likely to accept and appropriately monitor it. Although it may lead to warning responses to ensure the child’s safety, it is less likely to lead to punishment.

There are countless other examples. Holding a goldfish outside its bowl is foolish at one level but also can be seen as a you ng child’s attempt to express physical affection for a pet. Spending time with friends rather than family is selfish at one level but also indicates a teen’s need for independence.

The point here is that child behavior is often exhibited in simple forms that can appear to be oppositional, selfish or generally unacceptable if viewed only at that basic level. However, when viewed at a more meaningful level, the same apparently simple behavior can be seen as something larger and potentially more adaptive. This doesn’t mean the behavior should be ignored, especially if it is inappropriate. But looking at the bigger picture of a child’s behavior, adults might gain a fuller understanding of what they’re dealing with, which can create more flexibility in how they r espond.

1、According to Paragraph 1, we can know that child behavior ________.

A．is very changeable B．is inacceptable

C．occurs at different levels D．is fully understood by adults

2、The example in Paragraph 2 mainly shows that ________.

A．parents should properly punish child behavior

B．parents should keep children’s safety in mind

C．children’s behavior shows their interests

D．there are different attitudes to child behavior

3、What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?

A．The child will insist on doing things with determination.

B．The child will have to make frequent decisions.

C．The child will make new discoveries in the future.

D．The child will develop a strong sense of achievement.

4、It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that ________.

A．child behavior usually reflects a child’s need

B．what a child does can mean differently when seen from different aspects

C．children tend to do something to show their dependence to their parents

D．children spending time with friends show their selfishness

5、What does the writer suggest parents should do with a child’s behavior?

A．Have a positive attitude towards it.

B．Ignore the improper behavior.

C．View it at the basic level.

D．Watch over it from head to foot.

26．（30分）In 1972, I returned to Miami Beach High School to speak to the drama class. Afterward I asked the drama teacher 1 any of my English teachers are still there. Irene Roberts, he tells me, is in the class 2 down the hall.

I was no one special in Miss Roberts’ class —just another student who did okay work. I don’t recall any one special bit of wisdom she passed on. Yet I cannot forget her 3 for language, for ideas and for her students. I 4 now, many years later, that she is the perfect example of a 5 teacher. I’d like to say something to her, I say, but I don’t want to 6 her from a class. Nonsense, he says, she’ll be7 to see you.

The drama teacher 8 Miss Roberts into the hallway where stands this 32-year-old man she last saw at 18. “I’m Mark Medoff,” I tell her. “Y ou were my 12th-grade English teacher in 1958.” She9 her head to one side and looks at me, as if this angle might remember me in her 10 And then, though armed with a message I want to 11 in many words, I can’t think up anything more memorable than this: “I want you to know,” I say, “you were12 to me.”

And there in the hallway, this lovely woman, now nearing 13 age, this teacher who doesn’t remember me, begins to weep; and she encircles me in her arms.

14 this moment, I begin to sense that everything I will ever know, everything I will ever pass to my students, is an inseparable part of a legacy(遗产) of our ancestors.

Irene Roberts holds me 15 in her arms and through her tears whispers 16 my cheek, “Thank you.” And then, with the briefest of looks into my forgotten face, she17 back into her classroom,

18 to what she has done thousands of days through all the years of my 19

On reflection, maybe those were, 20 , just the right words to say to Irene Roberts. Maybe they are the

very words I would like to speak to all those teachers through my life, the very words I would like spoken to me one day by some returning student: “I want you to know you were important to me.”
