I started to work in the operating room after nursing school was completed. I was so excited about my new job that I would alternate between being very tired and not being able to sleep properly. Like many jobs, the newness and excitement wore off and I found myself in drudgery (繁重乏味的工作)．
One night I was feeling very tired, since I hadn't slept well the night before. I didn't like the doctor in charge, my feet hurt, it was very late, and I was “doing eyes”. Every nurse has a favorite(and least favorite) task. My least favorite was eyes —— I thought it was always either boring or unpleasant.
My patient was an old man who was there to have his cataract (白内障) removed. As the operation neared a close, I started to take the operating cloth off, and put drops in the patient's eyes. We made eye contact and I stumbled (发愣) slightly when he said, “I can see！！！ You are beautiful.”
I realized then what a big deal this all was to the patient and how truly thankful he was.I HELPED HIM SEE! I said something to him about how he must still be feeling the effects of the medicine. But he said again, “No, you really are beautiful.”
I realized at that moment that no matter how I was feeling, it was what I was doing that was important.

Should we stay friends after breaking up a relationship? That's a difficult question to answer. It's easy to say that “Let's be friends”， but is it really possible?
Well, different people have different opinions but from my experience I can tell you that friendship with your former friend is quite possible. However, if you have been in a bad relationship, then it is better to look forward and forget your past.But if you have had a friendly break-up and you still want to be in contact with your former friend then you can follow these steps to build up a future relationship.
Give yourself time to heal
After a break-up it is very important that you give yourself a cooling-off period. After a break-up it is very natural to feel sad.So you need time to pull yourself together.
Try to understand your feelings
If your relationship breaks up and you think that it will be best that you don't keep any contacts with your former friend, it's fine to move ahead. If your former friend wants to keep contact with you, make it very clear to him what you want.But if you think that what has happened doesn't matter for one another, then you can consider starting a fresh relationship with him. So you have to think about what you want and then take the initiative (主动权)．
Break the ice
Once you have made up your mind, start developing the new friendship.Call him and ask how that big work went or some other questions about the other person's life. Be honest and interested but please don't overdo it. Have an easy conversation and close by saying that you enjoy talking again, and hope that you can do it again soon. As time goes by, you can continue to work on this part to a point where you might ask him to join you and a group of friends for a night out or to a party with mutual (共同的) friends, if that's okay with him.

If you are planning on traveling, there are a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey.
First of all, always check and double-check departure (出发) time. It is amazing how few people really do this carefully. Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten. My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10：50.When I arrived at the airport, the clerk at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed. Therefore, I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.
The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards, it is still important to have at least a little of the local currency with you when you arrive in a country.This can be necessary if you are flying to a place few tourists normally visit. A few years ago I was sent to Tulsa, Oklahoma. I flew there from London via (经由) Dallas, with very little time to change planes in between. I arrived there at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed.The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi but because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead.
“Listen! I only take real money！” the driver said angrily. Luckily I was able to borrow a few dollars from a clerk at the hotel, but it was very embarrassing.
The third and last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave. I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suits and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.
68．According to the passage, it's obvious that ________.
A. the author learns some rules of traveling from his own experience
B. the author doesn't plan his trips or journeys carefully
C. Englishmen like to wear heavy suits wherever they travel
D. the American taxi driver never travels to England
答案与解析 A 推理判断题。作者通过自身的经历，总结出了几条宝贵的旅行时要遵守的原则。
69. What should you make sure first before setting off?
A. When you will leave. B. Where you will go.
C. How you will travel. D. Whom you will go with.
答案与解析 A 细节理解题。由第二段可知：出发前务必一再核实出发时间，以免误事。
70．What does the underlined word “there” in Para. 3 refer to?
A. London. B. Manchester.
C. Tulsa. D. Dallas.
答案与解析 C 细节推断题。在这里there只能指代上文中的Tulsa，其他的意思逻辑不通。
71．How many rules about traveling does the author talk about in the passage?
A. Two. B. Three.
C. Four. D. Five.
答案与解析 B 推理判断题。由first of all, the second rule, the third and last rule可得出作者共谈到了三条原则。
E
What is success? Different people hold different views on this question. Some people think that one is successful if he can make a great deal of money. Others argue that success means holding an important government post. Still others believe that whoever has got high academic title is successful. It is clear that there are quite different opinions on success.
In order to become successful, you should first of all be both perseverant and hardworking. As you know, whatever you do, there are always two possible results: success and failure. When you fail, you should never lose heart. On the contrary, you must build up your confidence and work even harder. You should always keep in mind that perseverance is the mother of success and industry is the key to it. In addition, you should pay great attention to your work method. It is necessary for you to sum up your experience constantly and improve the efficiency of your work. Finally, it is important for you to get along well with your co-workers, care for each other and help each other. If you follow these principles, you will certainly achieve remarkable success in the future.
In my opinion, success means achieving brilliant results in one's work, that is, making outstanding contributions to the development of the country and bringing happiness to the people. So my conclusion is that even if one has made great progress in what he does, I don't think there's any reason for him to be conceited (自负的)．
72．The first paragraph mainly wants to tell us that ________.
A. people have different opinions on success
B. success means you can make a lot of money
C. success means holding an important government post
D. it's very hard for anyone to win success
答案与解析 A 主旨大意题。第一段的第一句和最后一句都点明了段落的主旨是：对于成功，不同的人看法不同。
73．The underlined word “industry” in the second paragraph can be replaced by ________.
A. success B. failure
C. hard work D. confidence
答案与解析 C 词义猜测题。由第二段的主题句即首句可知，这里的industry应该与hardworking同义。
74．In order to succeed, you had better NOT ________.
A. be both perseverant and hardworking
B. lose heart even if you fail
C. do what you can
D. get along well with your co-workers
答案与解析 B 细节理解题。一定要看准题干中的had better not。为了成功，你最好永不灰心，即使遭遇失败。
75. The writer of the passage thinks that ________.
A. success means making contributions to the country and bringing happiness to the people
B. everyone can succeed in the future
C. whoever has achieved brilliant results in one's work can be proud of himself
D. success means making great progress in what he does
答案与解析 A 细节理解题。由最后一段内容可知A项为正确答案。

第四部分 写作(共两节，满分35分)
第一节 任务型读写(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)
阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。
注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
In many countries the standard of living enjoyed by their people increased rapidly in recent years. Sadly, not everyone in these countries is fortunate and many people in rich countries are homeless.
The reasons for homelessness are various, but poverty is undoubtedly one of the main causes. The homeless people may become jobless, then unable to pay their rent and so no longer have a roof over their heads. Often, the fact that unemployed people get help from the government prevents this from happening, but not always.
Some homeless people are mentally ill and have no one to look after them. Some are young people who, for one reason or another, have left home and have nowhere to live. Many of them have had a serious disagreement with their parents, choosing to go to a city and live on the streets. Sometimes they have taken such action because they have been unable to get on with a step parent.
Many homeless people get into the habit of begging to get enough money to stay alive, but many of the general public refuse to give anything to beggars. Often they are moved on by the police, being accused, whether rightly or wrongly, of forceful begging. There are many who disrespect homeless people.
Some cynics (愤世嫉俗的人) declare that homeless people choose to live the life which they lead. But who would willingly choose to live in a shop doorway, under a bridge or in a cardboard box?
答案
76. attitudes 77. poverty 78. ill 79. care 80. disagreement
81. action 82. refuse 83. police 84. disrespect
85. declare
