A

The CEO of Apple, Steve Jobs’ story about death

When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: “If you live each day as if it were your last, someday you’ ll most certainly be right.” It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself, “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?”

Remembering that I’ ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choice in life.

About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that was incurable, and that I would live no longer than three to six months. My d octor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is my doctors’ code for preparing yourself to die.

I lived with that diagnosis all day. I was completely in despair. Later that evening, I had another examination and my wife told me that tumor turned to be curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I’ m fine now.

This was the closest I’ve been to facing death. To tell the truth, no one wants to die. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. It clears out the old to make room for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away.

Your time is so limited that you shouldn’t waste it repeating someone else’s life. Don’ t be trapped by dogma（教条）—which is living with the results of other people’ s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart. It somehow already knows what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

56. The doctor advised the author to go home and get his affairs in order because_________.

A. he had to rest at home

B. his disease couldn’t be cured

C. his disease was not serious at all

D. he had to wait for the result of the test

57．How did the author feel after the diagnosis?

A．Hopeless B．Excited C．Optimistic D．Angry

58．What does the author think of death?

A．He thinks it is impossible to avoid.

B．He thinks it is not the end of life.

C．He thinks it is nothing to be scared of.

D．He thinks it is the beginning of a new life

59．In the author’ s opinion, we should ____________.

A．follow others’ advice B．take no notice of diseases

C．take exercise and keep healthy D．have the courage to follow our heart

60．What does the underlined word in Para.3 mean?

A．came across B．dealt with C．survived D．support

B

Teach children basic safety around dogs and review regularly:

·Do not approach an unfamiliar dog.

·Do not run near a dog or scream.

·Remain still when approached by an unfamiliar dog.

·If you are knocked over by a dog, lie still and hold your breath.

·Do you play with a dog unless watched by an adult.

·Avoid direct eye contact with a dog.

·Do not disturb a dog who is sleeping, eating, or caring for baby dogs.

A study on fatal dog bites lists the breeds (品种) involved in fatal attacks over 20 years. It does not find specific breeds that are most likely to bite or kill. Each year, 4.7 million Americans are bitten by dogs. These bites result in about 12 deaths every year: about 0.0002 percent of the total number of people bitten. These few deaths offer little information about breeds involved in dogs of a particular breed, and no way to determine which breeds are more likely to bite or kill.

Many practical alternatives hold promise for preventing dog bites. For prevention ideas and model policies for the control of dangerous dogs, please see the American Veterinary Medical Association Task Force on Canine Aggression and Human –Canine Interaction: a community approach to dog bite prevention.

Harry Houdini was one of the greatest American entertainers in the theater this century. He was a man famous for his escapes – from prison cells, from wooden boxes floating in rivers, from locked tanks full of water.

He appeared in theaters all over Europe and America. Crowds came to see the great Houdini and his “magic tricks. ”

Of course, his secret wasn't magic or supernatural powers, it was simply strength. He had the ability to move his toes as well as he moved his fingers. He could move his body into almost any position he wanted.

Houdini started working in the entertainment when he was 17, in 1891.He and his brother Theo performed card tricks in a club in New York. They called themselves the Houdini Brothers. When Harry married in 1894, he and his wife Bess worked together as magician and assistant. But for a long time they were not very successful. Then Harry performed his first prison escape, in Chicago in 1898. Harry persuaded a detective to let him try to escape from the prison, and he invited the local newspapermen to watch.

It was the publicity that came from this that started Harry Houdin’s success. Harry had fingers trained to escape from handcuffs and toes trained to escape ankle chins. But his biggest secret was he unlocked the prison doors. Every time he went into the prison cell, Bess gave him a kiss for good luck – and a small skeleton key, which is a key that fits many locks, passed quickly from her mouth to his.

Harry used these prison escapes to build his fame. He arranged to escape from the local prison of every town he visited. In the afternoon, the people of the town would read about it in their local newspapers, and in the evening every seat in the local theater would be full. What was the result? World – wild fame, and a name remembered today.

66．According to the passage, Houdini’s success in prison escapes depends on .

A．his special tricks and supernatural powers

B．his unusual ability and a skeleton key

C．his magic tricks and super human powers

D．his wisdom and magic powers

67．In the fourth paragraph, the underlined word “this” refers to .

A．his first prison escape B．the newspaper’s presentation

C．the publicity D．the participation of a detective

68．It can be inferred from passage that Houdini became famous .

A．in 1894 B．before he married

C．at the age of 17 D．when he was 24

69．Which of the following statements is NOT correct?

A．Houdini is famous for the Great escape.

B．Houdini once worked with his brother.

C．Houdini became famous with the help of the newspapers.

D

You wake up in the morning，the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time. Then the telephone rings，you say hello, and the drama starts．The person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to．You are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible!

Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness. It may not change what you think，but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time．

Life brings ups and downs，but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer．They only feel glad when they make others feel bad．No wonder they can hardly win others’ pity or res pect．

When you communicate with positive people，your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted．When the dagger(匕首) of a negative person is put in you，you feel the heavy feeling that all in all，brings you down．

Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people．This could be a co-worker，or a relative．In this case，say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person，but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that．

Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized．The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to(附着) you throughout the rest of your day，which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness．Life is too short to feel negative．Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible．

71．The purpose of the first paragraph is to ______.

A．make a comparison B．offer an evidence

C．introduce a topic D．describe a daily scene

72．How can negative people have effect on us?

A．By influencing our emotion．B．By telling us the nature of life．

C．By changing our ways of thinking．D．By comparing their attitudes to life with ours．73．Some negative people base their happiness on _______.

A．other people’s pity for them B．building up a positive attitude C．making other people unhappy D．other people’s respect for them 74．According to the passage, to reduce negative people’s influence on us，we are advised to ______.

A．communicate with negative people as little as possible

B．show our dissatisfaction to negative people

C．make negative people feel ashamed of themselves

D．change negative people’s attitudes to life

75．What is the author’s attitude towards negative people? A．Favorable．B．Indifferent. C．Critical. D．Supportive.

第四部分写作（共二节，满分35分）

第一节阅读表达（共5小题，每小题2 分，满分10分）

【1】Safety in the highway is not totally out of hand. Here are four ways you can protect yourselves when you travel.

【2】You are safer in a large car. People in small cars are injured more often and more severely than people traveling in large cars. Factories of small cars are strengthening their products’ safety, which helps. But the mix of large car s and small cars on the road is the main reason for the safety problem.

【3】Being thrown into glass and metal parts of a car – or being thrown from the car – can really damage you. That’ s why safety belts should be worn. The safety belt’ s main purpose is ______________________. If your car has a sudden crash with another vehicle or object or if it rolls over, a belt can reduce the chance of fatal injury by 45% and the chance of serious injury by 50%.

【4】Air bags are important. More than half of all new cars sold have air bags. Air bags provide protection in frontal crashes – the type of crash that kills the most drivers, though they are also wearing safety belts. Most people demand air bags in the cars they buy. But the protection provided by air b ags is limited in side or rear crashes. Effective as they are, they can’ t take the place of safety belts.

【5】Drunk driving crashes are less likely to happen if you don’ t drink. Drunk driving is the most serious problem. Many people have realized that mixing drinking and driving can lead to death and injury, prison time and other results. There are measures to strengthen penalties(处罚) for drinking and driving.

76. What is the main idea of the passage? (no more than 10 words)

____________________________________________________________________________ 77. Why is a large car safer than a small one according to the text? (no more than 20 words)

____________________________________________________________________________ .

78. Complete the following statement with proper words. ( no more than 4 words)

Air bags can not do much protection in side or rear crashes; although________________, you can' t replace safety belts by air bags.

79. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with proper words. ( no more than 5 words)

____________________________________________________________________________ 80. What does the word " it" ( line 3, paragraph 3) probably refer to? ( no more than 4 words )

80．The car．

I am a Senior Three student．Recently we have carried out a survey--"who to share my worry?" The main findings are as follows.

13% of the students surveyed select friends or school-mates as their ideal listeners when they have trouble while another 30% tend to seek advice from teachers and parents. Nevertheless, there are also 53% who don't share their trouble at all and prefer to work on themselves.

Personally speaking, I feel it’s quite natural to use these three ways to deal with personal affairs, but what surprises me most is the proportion each part takes. My first reaction to the survey results is “shock”. It seems rather common for the students nowadays to choose to keep their mouths shut rather than to turn to someone else when in trouble. Is it so hard for them to place trust in others? After having a second thought, I realize that we teenagers may be more independent, thoughtful and strong-minded than our parents and teachers expect us to be, as we have easy access to the online information we need—either by a computer or a mobile phone—to handle our worry properly in daily life.
