第一节：（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

A

When I was in the third grade, I was picked to be the princess(公主) in the school play. For weeks my mother had helped me practice my lines. But once on stage, every word disappeared from my head. Then my teacher told me she had written a narrator's（解说者的）part for the play, and asked me to change roles. Though I didn't tell my mother what had happened that day, she sensed my unhappiness and asked if I wanted to take a walk in the yard.

It was a lovely spring day. We could see dandelions (蒲公英）popping through the grass in bunches, as if a painter had touched our landscape with bits of gold. I watched my mother carelessly bend down by one of the bunches. "I think I am going to dig up all these weeds," she said." From now on, we'll have only roses in this garden."

"But I like dandelions," I protested." All flowers are beautiful-even dandelions!"

My mother looked at me seriously. "Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn't it?" she asked thoughtfully. I nodded." And that is true of people, too," she added.

When I realized that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry and told her the truth.

“But you will be a beautiful narrator,” she said, reminding me of how much I loved to read stories aloud to her.

Over the next few weeks, with her continuous encouragement, I learned to take pride in the role. The big day finally came. A few minutes before the play, my teacher came over to me. “Your mother asked me to give this to you,” she said, handing me a dandelion. After the play, I took home the flower, laughing that I was perhaps the only person who would keep such a weed.

21. The girl did not play the role of the princess mainly because ______.

A. she felt nervous on the stage.

B. she lost her interest in that role.

C. she preferred the role of the narrator.

D. she had difficulty memorizing her words

22. Why did the mother suggest a walk in the garden?

A. To remove the dandelions.

B. To enjoy the garden scene.

C. to have a talk with her daughter.

D. to help her daughter with the play.

23. What is the main idea of the story?

A. Everybody can find his or her own way to success.

B. Everybody has his or her own value (价值) in the world.

C. Everybody should learn to play different roles.

D. Everybody has some unforgettable memory.

B

A newly arrived visitor to the United States was recently asked what has been the most difficult thing for him on his first day in America. Wi thout a moment’s hesitation(犹豫)，he answered，“Finding a public bathroom.”

Some countries have public rest rooms that are plainly in view on city streets or in small buildings that are clearly marked，but the United States does not. In America，public res t rooms are located in Gasoline Stations (where it’s clean and free，although one may need to ask the attendant for a key) airports，bus stations and railroad stations.

Restaurants，libraries，large stores，theaters and all places where the public is welcome are supplied with rest rooms. You can go into any hotel and ask for the “Ladies’ Room”

or“Men’s Room”，even if you are not a guest at the hotel.

Don’t be confused by the name on the doors of the rest rooms. Sometimes they are marked “Men” or “Women” or “Ladies” or “Dames”；or simply “Rest Room”．There may be a picture or other sign on the door indicating(表明) whether it is a men’s or ladies’ room. Restaurants especially follow this custom.Women’s rooms are often called “Powder Rooms”．The European terms “Comfort Station or WC” are rarely used in the United States，but generally understood.

24. Rest room is ________.

A．W.C B．cinema C. sitting-room D．Restaurant

25. In the second paragraph “are plainly in view” means that _______.

A．can’t be seen easily B．can be seen easily

C．can be wonderful to see D．can be ugly to see

26. “Powder Rooms” refers to “________” in America.

A．W.C B．Men’s Room C．Ladies’ Room D. Rest rooms

27. In America, public places, airports, stations, restaurants, libraries, stores, theaters, etc. _____.

A. don’t provide rest rooms for the public.

B. don’t allow you to use the rest rooms if you are not their guests.

C. provide the rest rooms for you even you are not their guests.

D. have too dirty rest rooms because of too many people there.

C

We’ve all met with something that slows us down, for example, the bump（颠簸）in the road, the setback. You just have to keep in mind that a setback is only temporary and greater things lie ahead. Therefore, keep moving forward, developing what you have, since you’ve already built a solid foundation on whic h you can rely.

It is easy just to quit, give up and ignore the hard work you have put into something. But we believe in the “two steps forward, one step back” philosophy（哲学）. So how can you react when something doesn’t turn out as you’ve expected it to be?

First, be objective. Step back and look at the situation. Is your setback really that significant, or will it just require a little extra effort? Then, pla n your next move. You can ask for help. Don’t be afraid or ashamed to do this. Frequently, people are more than willing to give you support and advice. You don’t have to be perfect; after all, nob ody else is. Next, bounce back. Reevaluate the goals you should have set for yourself at the beginning and retool（改组）them as necessary. Goals should be realistic and specific, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be flexible. Instead of looking at your project as a disaster or failure, view it with success. Concentrate on how great it will feel after it is finally done, after you have put your all into it. instead of focusing on a possible unsatisfactory performance one single time, take a moment to sit back and reward yourself for all that you have accomplished.

Above all, don’t live with regrets. Success is never easy. It remains up to you whether you will give up , or fight through the tough battles to earn whatever you want. Keep reaching for your goals and you will achieve them. One small setback is nothing if you really want something and are willing to work for it.

28．According to the passage, the philosophy “two steps forward, one step back” means that ________when meeting with a setback.

A. we are supposed to quit and ignore the hard work

B. we’d better think it over before making a decision

C. we should stop to think before taking further action

D. we are expected to look at things in an all-round way

29．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to .

A. a performance

B. a success

C. a goal

D. a project

30．When we suffer a setback, the most important thing to do is not .

A．to keep moving forward to your goals

B．to depend on others’ support and advice

C．to sit back and reward yourself for your success

D．to focus on a possible unsatisfactory performance

31．What is the passage mainly about?

A．How to avoid the bumps.

B．How to deal with the setbacks.

C．Different attitudes to the setbacks.

D．Different suggestions on your goals.
