What I 41 most about visiting my boyfriend’s parents is the loud tick of the clock in the dining room as we 42 ate our meal．With so little conversation I was quick to 43 his family as cold．When we got into the 44 to go home, his father suddenly appeared．45 , he began to wash his son’s windscreen．I could feel he is a caring man through the glass. I learned another lesson about love a few years later．My father often 46 me early in the morning．“Buy Xerox．It’s a good sharp price,” he might say when I answered the phone．No pleasant 47 or inquiry about my life ,just financial instructions．This manner of his 48 me and we often quarreled．But one day, I thought about my father’s success in business and realized that his concern for my financial security lay behind his 49 morning calls．The next time he called and told me to buy a stock, I 50 him． When my social style has conflicted with that of my friends, I’ve often felt 51 ．For example, I always return phone calls 52 and regularly contact with my friends．I expect the same from them．I had one friend who rarely called, answering my messages with short e-mails．I rushed to the 53 : She wasn’t a good friend! My anger 54 as the holidays approached．But then she came to a gathering I 55 and handed me a beautiful dress I had fallen in love with when we did some window-shopping the previous month．I was 56 at her thoughtfulness, and regretful for how I’d considered her to be 57 ．Clearly I needed to change my expectations of friends. Far too often, I ignored their 58 expressions, eagerly expecting them to do things in my 59 .Over the years, however, I’ve learned to 60 other persons, love signs. 41．A．remember B．enjoy C．value D．admire 42．A．excitedly B．nervously C．silently D．instantly 43．A．regard B．treat C．take D．think 44．A．bus B．train C．car D．plane 45．A．Punctually B．Carefully C．Proudly D．Coldly 46．A．visited B．interrupted C．warned D．telephoned 47．A．greeting B．meeting C．apology D．explanation 48．A．interested B．angered C．encouraged D．surprised 49．A．long B．short C．warm D．polite 50．A．praised B．remembered C．blamed D．thanked 51．A．content B．guilty C．curious D．disappointed 52．A．in order B．in turn C．without delay D．without difficulty 53．A．feeling B．suggestion C．judgment D．belief 54．A．disappeared B．grew C．helped D．declined 55．A．opened B．refused C．hosted D．invited 56．A．depressed B．upset C．fascinated D．shocked 57．A．uncaring B．dishonest C．unhappy D．uncooperative 58．A．unique B．common C．pleasant D．familiar 59．A．opinion B．way C．mind D．life 60．A．send B．read C．give D．express 第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分） 第一节 阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项 (A，B，C，D) 中，选出最佳选项。 A There is an English saying that goes, "he who laughs last, laughs the hardest." High School Musical star and teen heartthrob (让人心动的男人) Zac Efron is laughing a lot these days. As a young boy, Efron was picked on in school because he was always the smallest in his class and teased because he had a big space between his teeth．In sixth grade, Efron's basketball team made it to the league championships．In double overtime, with three seconds left, he rebounded the ball and passed it — to the wrong team! They scored and his team lost the game. But history, as they say, is a thing of the past．Now at 21, Efron is one of People magazine's 100 Most Beautiful People, graces the cover of Entertainment Weekly, Hollywood's most influential magazine, and is traveling the world promoting the third High School Musical film．Director Adam Shankman described Efron as "arguably the biggest teen star in America right now." Simply google "Zac Efron" and you get more than 14 million responses．Yes, it seems Efron has a lot to smile about these days. Efron was born and raised in California．He took school seriously．According to Efron, "he would flip out (发疯) if he got a B and not an A in school, and that he was a class clown..” It was his father who encouraged him to act．He took part in school performances and with a local theater group．He also took singing lessons．He graduated from high school in 2006 and was accepted at the University of Southern California to study film．But he deferred (延期) — why study movies when you can star in them. Now he has signed on to star in the romantic comedy Seventeen Again and to play in the remake of the hugely popular movie, Footloose．Efron is also earning more than $3 million for his role in High School Musical 3．Not bad for a 21-year-old．But Efron still remembers those bullies. "You always have to remember that bullies want to bring you down because you have something that they admire," Efron said．"Also, when you get made fun of, when people point out your weaknesses, it's an opportunity for you to rise above." Efron has risen all the way to the top of the movie business．And he can now laugh all the way to the bank. 61．The writer used the English saying at the beginning to ____. A．suggest that successful Efron doesn’t have such a smooth past B．suggest that Efron still has a long way to go C．show that Efron’s success is hard earned D．show that Efron has beaten his critics 62．How do you understand the sentence “But history, as they say, is a thing of the past” in Paragraph 3? A．Better let the past be the past. B．History does not decide future. C．Different from history, Efron is quite popular now. D．History plays an important role in Zac Efron’s life. 63．What did Zac Efron probably do when he was bullied? A．He would ignore them since he knew they just wanted to make him feel bad. B．He was the class clown so he used these experiences as sources of his jokes. C．He would take the bullies seriously and later found chances to fight back. D．He cheered himself up and used it as motivation to move on． 64．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? A．Children often like to make fun of others’ physical features. B．Director Adam Shankman wasn’t sure Efron is the biggest teen star in America right now． C．With his current success in movies and bigger movie roles to play, Efron is making a fortune. D．When he goes to the bank, Efron laughs all the way. B Discouraged by reading bad news daily and with his marriage failing, Canadian Neil Pasricha decided to try to focus on the positive and come up with 1,000 simple, free, awesome things, posting one each day on a blog. Pasricha said his blog aimed to highlight life's simple pleasures, which were often taken for granted, such as finding forgotten money in a pocket, or fixing a TV set with a heavy blow. Little did he realize his blog would strike a nerve and attract 40,000 people a day to join his discussions on how to enjoy the last triangle of a potato crisp, or the pleasure of laughing so hard that you cry. Pasricha, aged 30, was amazed to win two Webby awards, known as "the Oscars of the Internet," something positive at a time when his marriage broke up and one of his closest friends committed suicide. "I turned the worst year of my life into my best year by focusing on the positive．" Pasricha told Reuters in a telephone interview．"Every day I try to find something that is happy, free and universal to share, like the smell of a bakery or when a cashier opens up a new line at a store．" Pasricha said when he began his blog in June 2008 he thought he might have trouble coming up with 1,000 simple, happy moments in life but now he is more than halfway through and ideas keep flooding in, from himself and from followers of his blog. "These moments can start a huge conversation．Most of our life is really about hitting green lights on the way home from, or waking up before your alarm goes off and realizing you have more time in bed．But it is those small moments we forget about." Despite the success of his blog, Pasricha does not want to change his daily life．“I travel regularly for an hour a day to work in the suburb．I like work because I like the people in my office．I’m not a writer and I don’t know how to use punctuations correctly．I just like observing the world and putting it down,” he said. 65．Neil Pasricha determined to post positive feelings or things on his blog because . A．daily bad news and broken marriage saddened him B．1,000 simple, free, happy things excited him C．he wanted to forget his marriage life D．he wanted to make his blog successful 66．According to the passage, Pasricha . A．gets ideas for 1,000 simple, free, happy things with trouble B．gets ideas for 1,000 simple, free, happy things on his own C．is on his way to collecting 1,000 simple, free, happy things D．has finished collecting 1,000 simple, free, happy things 67．Which of the following might be the best title for the passage? A．Hard life for a Canadian blogger B．Busy life for a Canadian blogger C．Great awards for a Canadian blogger D．Great success for a Canadian blogger C Is language, like food, a basic human need? Judging from the extreme experiment of Frederick II in the 13th century, it may be．Hoping to discover what language a child would speak if he heard no mother tongue he told the nurses to keep silent. All the babies died before the first year．But clearly there was more than language deprivation (剥夺，丧失) ．What was missing was good mothering．Without good mothering, in the first year of life especially, the ability to survive is seriously affected. Today no such extreme deprivation exists as that ordered by Frederick．Nevertheless, some children are still backward in speaking．Most often the reason for this is that the mother is insensitive to signals of the baby, whose brain is programmed, to mop up language rapidly．There are critical times, it seems when children learn more rapidly．If these sensitive periods are neglected, the ideal time for acquiring skills passes and they might never be learned so easily again. Linguists suggest that speech milestones are reached in a fixed order and at a constant age, but there are cases where speech has started late in a child who eventually turns out to be of high IQ. Recent evidence suggests that a baby is born with the ability to speak．What is special about man’s brain, compared with that of the monkey, is the complex system which enables a child to connect the sight and feel of, say, a teddy bear with the sound pattern “teddy bear”. But speech has to be developed, and this depends on interaction between the mother and the child, where the mother recognizes the signals in the child’s babbling, clinging, grasping, crying, smiling, and responds to them．Insensitivity of the mother to these signals reduces the interaction because the child gets discouraged and sends out only the obvious signals．Sensitivity to the child’s nonverbal(非语言的) signals is basic to the growth and development of language. 68．Frederick II’s experiment was extreme because ______. A．he wanted to prove children are born with ability to speak B．he ignored the importance of mothering to the babies C．he was unkind to the nurses D．he wanted his nurses to say another language 69．The reason some children are backward in speaking today is that ______ . A．they do not listen carefully to their mothers B．their brain have to absorb too much language at once C．their mothers do not respond to their attempts to speak D．their mothers are not intelligent enough to help them 70．In paragraph 3, by “critical times” the author means ______. A．difficult periods in the child’s life B．moments when the child becomes critical towards its mother C．important stages in the child’s development D．times when mothers often neglect their children 71．If the mother seldom responds to her child’s signals, _______ . A．the child will be able to speak properly B．the child will continue to give out signals C．the child will invent a language of own D．the child will make little effort to speak D My father’s response to the bank building at 43rd Street and Fifth Avenue in New York city was immediate and definite: “You won’t catch me putting my money in there!” he declared, “Not in that glass box.” Of course, my father is a gentleman of the old school, a member of the generation to whom a good deal of modern architecture is upsetting, but I believe that his negative response was not so much to the architecture as to a violation of his concept of the nature of money. In his generation money was thought of as a real commodity（货物） that could be carried, or stolen．Therefore, to attract the custom of a sensible man, a bank had to have heavy walls, barred windows, and bronze doors, to make sure of the fact, however, untrue, that money would be safe inside．If a building’s design made it appear strong, the institution was necessarily reliable, and the meaning of the heavy wall as an architecture symbol showed the general attitude toward money. But the attitude toward money has, of course, changed．Except pocket money, cash of any kind is now rarely used; money as a tangible commodity has largely been replaced by credit．The banker no longer offers us a safe: he offers us a service in which the most valuable factor is the creativity for the invention of large numbers．It is in no way surprising, in view of this change in attitude, that we are witnessing（目睹）the disappearance of the heavy-walled bank. Just as the older bank emphasized（强调）its strength, this bank by its architecture is proud of imaginative powers． 72．The main idea of this passage is that ______. A．money is not as valuable as it was in the past B．changes have taken place in both the appearance and the concept of banks C．the architectural style of the older bank is better than that of the modern bank D．belief makes the older generation think that the modern bank is unreliable 73．What do the older generation and the younger one think about money? A．The former thinks more of money than the latter. B．The younger generation values money more than the older generation. C．Both generations rely on the imaginative power of bankers to make money. D．To the former money is a real commodity but to the latter it is a means to produce more money. 74．The word “tangible” refers to something _______. A．that is precious B．that is usable C．that can be touched D．that can be reproduced 75．According to this passage, a modern banker should be ______. A．ambitious and friendly B．reliable and powerful C．sensible and strong D．imaginative and creative 第二节： 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。选项中有一项为多余选项。 76 If your complaint is immediate, suppose you got the wrong order at a restaurant, make a polite but firm request to see the manager．When the manager comes, ask his or her name．And then state your problem and what you expect to have done about it． Be polite! 77 But also be firm in making your complaint． 78 This doesn’t mean to put on airs and say “do you know who I am?” What it means is that people are often treated the way they expect to be treated．If you act like someone who expects a fair request to be granted, chances are that it will be granted． 79 You are speaking to a voice coming from someone you cannot see．So you can’t tell how the person on the line is reacting．It is easy for that person to give you the run-around(借口). 80 If your complaint doesn’t require an immediate response, it often helps to complain by letter．If you have an appliance that doesn’t work, send a letter to the store that sold it．Be business-like and stick to the point．Don’t spend a paragraph on how your uncle John tried to fix the problem and couldn’t． A．Shouting or acting rude will get you nowhere． B．Complaining in person or by letter is generally more effective． C．The worst way to complain is over the telephone． D．Telephone complaint is never efficient． E．The way to complain is to act business-like and important． F．Besides, act important． 第II卷 （非选择题，满分40分） 第1节 短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）写在答题纸上 文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。 增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（ ），并在其下面写出该加的词。 删除：把多余的词用斜线（\）划掉。 修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改
