Every week they met and their conversation usually centered on all the things they were going to achieve. This particular Saturday when they met, WHEN sensed that IF was not in a great mind. WHEN questioned IF, “What is wrong with you? You don’t seem your usual cheery self?” IF looked at WHEN and replied, “I just don’t feel I am making any progress. Last week I saw a course and wanted to take if only I had the time to take it.” WHEN knew exactly how IF felt. “I too saw a course and I’m going to register when I get enough money.” said WHEN, “What about that new job you were going to apply for? You were so excited about it last week.” IF responded, “If my computer didn’t break down last week, I would have applied. So I could not type my resume.” “Don’t worry about it, when you are ready, another job will come through. I have been thinking about looking for another job, too, but I will wait and when the weather gets nicer I will look then.” WHEN then went on to tell IF about his week, hoping that it would cheer him up a bit. The man at the next table couldn’t help but overhear WHEN and IF. “Excuse me gentlemen,” the man said. Surprised, IF and WHEN both looked at the man. The man continued, “I’m sorry, but I couldn’t help hearing your conversation. I think I know how you could solve your problems.” Curious, IF asked the gentleman, “How do you think you can solve our problems?” The gentleman smiled and said, “You only need to listen to yourselves. It remains me of an old proverb: ‘ If and When were planted, and Nothing grew’.” The gentleman went on, “Just start doing, take action, and stop talking about ‘if’ and ‘when’.” IF and WHEN suddenly realized that what the gentleman had said was so true. Both of them were guilty of thinking and living their life for the “ifs” and “whens”. The gentleman left and IF and WHEN’s conversation changed. They made up their minds that when they met for lunch next week, there would be no “ifs or whens”; they would only talk about what they had accomplished! Soon another week came. 26. IF was not in a good mood because ________. A. he failed to arrange time for a course B. he missed a course for lack of money C. he was upset by the bad weather D. he was not satisfied with his resume 27. Which of the proverbs goes with the saying underlined in Paragraph 3? A. Where there is a will, there is a way. B. There are no gains without pains. C. Belief is the great guide of human life. D. A bad beginning makes a bad ending. 28. IF and WHEN were advised to solve their problems by _______. A. setting more goals for their future B. stop using “ifs” and “whens” in conversations C. putting their plans into action immediately D. changing the topics of their weekly conversation 29. After listening to the suggestions from the gentleman, WHEN felt _______. A. cheerful B. regretful C. disappointed D. upset 30. The paragraph that follows the last one probably talks about ________. A. the success in IF’s and WHEN’s job interview B. the effect of the gentleman’s advice C. the schedule made by IF and WHEN D. the achievements of IF and WHEN B My name is Jason. Like most authors, I am one of those who do not believe in love at first sight until I experience it myself. It all started like this. I was with a few friends at McDonalds when a group of girls came and took their seats. There was this girl, quite outstanding for the smile she was wearing. While they were at the counter ordering their food, I noticed they all had a disability, and they could not talk. But, this was not considered a disability to me, so I walked up to ask for her number. She was surprised. But she eventually gave me her address and her name is Elaine. She did not have a phone at home and there was no need for her. After a few days, I sent her a letter, asking her out on a date the following Saturday. We were supposed to meet at the cinema. She appeared, wearing that same smile that caught me. In order to communicate, I needed to get a pen and paper. I asked her about how she felt about me. She told me she was very happy, but at the same time, she was worried as she could not define whether my love was out of sympathy or was it from my heart. From that moment, I have been asking myself the question, until a month later I finally made up my mind. I was really in love with her, not for her disability that I sympathize, not for that she is pretty, but for the fact that I love her… I went to her home. I pulled her out of her home and ran to the park in front of her block of flats. I told her how I felt. She took the pen and wrote this sentence, “I love you too, but now that I am assured that you love me for what I am and not out of sympathy, I feel that I will not regret the decision.” Now, we have been together for two years and although we have not planned to get married, I have never once quarrel with her, and I never will. Love is magical, which helps us erase the prejudice against disability and discover a person’s inner beauty. 31. There was no need for Elaine to have a phone because ________. A. she had a hard time and had to save money B. she did not have many friends to talk to C. she did not want to be disturbed by strangers D. she was dumb and had to communicate through papers 32. Elaine was worried because________. A. she was in love with a stranger she never met B. she didn’t know whether to go out with Jason C. she wondered whether Jason loved her out of sympathy D. she communicated with friends with difficulty 33. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. Jason fell in love with Elaine at first sight. B. Jason was good at making friends with others. C. Jason invited Elaine out to see a film. D. Jason was impressed by Elaine’s smile. 34. “The decision” in the third paragraph refers to ________. A. getting married to Jason B. being Jason’s girlfriend C. turning down Jason’s sympathy D. Having appointments with Jason 35. The writer writes the passage in order to ________. A. tell and share his romantic love story B. inform people of the power of love C. persuade people to believe in love at first sight D. ask people not to look down on people with a disability C We are not born with courage, but neither are we born with fear. Maybe some of our fears are brought on by your own experiences, by what someone has told you, by what you've read in the papers. Some fears are reasonable, like walking alone in a bad part of town at two o'clock in the morning. But once you learn to avoid that situation, you won't need to live in fear of it. Fears, even the most basic ones, can totally destroy our ambitions. Fear can destroy fortunes and relationships. If left unchecked, it can destroy our lives. Fear is one of the many enemies hidden inside us. Let me tell you about four other enemies we face from within. The first enemy we face is hesitation, which is the thief of opportunity. It will steal your chances for a better future. The second enemy inside is doubt. Sure, there's room for healthy skepticism. You can't believe everything. But you also can't let doubt take over. Many people doubt the past, the future and even the opportunities. Worse of all, they doubt themselves. Doubt will destroy your life and your chances of success. It will empty both your bank account and your heart. The third enemy within is worry. Just don't let it conquer you. Instead, let it alarm you. Worry can be useful. But you can't let worry loose like a mad dog that drives you into a small corner. Here's what you've got to do with your worries: drive them into a small corner. Whatever is pushing on you, you've got to push back. The fourth interior enemy is overcaution. It is the timid approach to life. Timidity is not a virtue; it's an illness. Timid people don't get promoted. They don't advance and grow and become powerful in the marketplace. Do battle with the enemy. Do battle with your fears. Build your courage to fight what's holding you back, and what's keeping you from your goals and dreams. Be courageous in your life and in your pursuit of the things you want and the person you want to become! 36. Some people are fearful because ________. A. they are not born with courage B. their friends sometimes scare them C. they are affected by their experiences D. they are cheated by the newspapers 37. The underlined word “skepticism” (Para. 3 ) probably means ________. A. disbelief B. hesitation C. discouragement D. self-determination 38. It can be inferred from the text that ________. A. it’s not wise to walk alone in a bad part of town B. it’s impossible for timid people to get a promotion C. over caution causes more serious results than worry D. fears have a negative effect on people’s life 39. Which of the following is NOT a sensible way to battle with worry? A. Drive worry into a small corer in your heart. B. Fight something that is holding you back. C. Ignore the problem for a while. D. Conquer worry instead of being conquered. 40. The passage is mainly about ________. A. problems and results caused by fear B. enemies we are facing from within C. how to be courageous and fearless D. ways to achieve goals and realize dreams D Common sense might tell us that when a volcano starts erupting, the best thing to do is run away. But for a small group of photographers, news of a new erupting volcano somewhere in the world means one thing: It’s time to get on a plane. In early April, Martin Rietze spent three sleepless nights next to a large rock about 500 meters from the mouth of There are volcano photographers all over the world, although only perhaps a couple hundred of them. The Internet has allowed them to share their work and tips. “It’s a labor of love, because they all know they can’t make a living at it”, says Richard Roscoe, a patent examiner from But even the most experienced can lose their lives. Volcanologists Katia Drafft and her husband Maurice Drafft form Professional volcanologists “think we’re mad.” Roscoe says. Though not all in the academic field look down on them, Richard Wunderman, who edits the Bulletin of the Global Volcanism Network, says he often relies on amateurs for reports and photos of eruptions that would otherwise go unrecorded. “They’re an amazing resource,” he says, “The hardest part about capturing the power of a volcano in a photo isn’t getting close enough, but getting a clear view”, says Arnold Binas, a computer scientist in A chemical engineer wears a climbing helmet, a gas mask and gloves. “They’re very important because fresh lava can be very sharp, so if you put your hand down, you can get hurt badly,” he says. 41. At the news of a new erupting volcano, some photographers will probably _______. A. stay sleepless to protect themselves B. go to the spot and take photos C. get online to search more information D. become crazy and ignore their common sense 42. It can be inferred from the text that _______. A. volcano photographers share their experience through Internet B. it is common for people to run away when a volcano erupts C. Katia Drafft and her husband are experienced volcanologists D. some photographers complain that they cannot earn money from their hobby 43. Arnold Binas believes that capturing the power of a volcano mainly lies in ________. A. love B. distance C. experience D. patience 44. Who approves of the work of amateur photographers? A. Richard Wunderman B. Patrick Koster C. Jim Stimac D. Martin Rietze 45. The attitude of the writer is ________. A. approval B. neutral C. disapproval D. praise 第二节 信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 请阅读下列学生的来信和报社编辑的回信。请根据学生来信所提出的问题及编辑的回答，按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。 首先，请阅读学生的来信。 A.

Of course, you should never give up what you love, but for now, think of it as simply putting playing the piano on hold. Editor 50. Dear Amy, If you know you should focus your attention on studying, then go ahead and try your best to do so. You need to be disciplined. It’s also a good idea to reward yourself for getting work done. For example, do 45 minutes of work and then take half an hour off to read or watch TV. Also, try to do your work at the beginning of the day, so that once it’s done you can take the rest of the day off.

With belief in mind, one will stick to his goal, overcome the difficulty and eventually achieve his ambition. Anyone who has strong belief can enjoy a colorful life. Otherwise, he will lose himself in his way of life. The story reminds me of my own experience. Once, I was chosen to enter for an English speech contest on behalf of my class. As a strong-minded boy, I aimed at the champion ship and thus made good preparations for the competition ship. I woke up early to practice my oral English and tried to read as much English and tried to read as much English as possible to enrich my knowledge. To my delight, I won the championship. It was my strong belief in victory that propelled me to realize my goal. It can be seen that one with firmly-held belief is likely to be successful and master his own life. That is to say, belief makes a great difference in our life. Therefore, as long as we stick to our belief and do our utmost, we’re bound to succeed sooner or cater. |
