“Where is the light ” My dad used to ask me that when I was little. It’s one of those questions that parents use to find out how smart their young children are. During my teenage years, my dad jokingly told me that he thought I was going to be dim-witted because I pointed at him whenever he asked me where the light was.
Dad is from a rural area about 230 kilometers north of the capital Manila, and where most people live off the land, raising and selling livestock and poultry. His father, an artist and street magician, died when he was very young. To make ends meet, his mother went about town and washed laundry in various ho.useholds. My dad found himself alone-lack of nurturing and love, short of family bonds.
Dad loved reading and always looked for opportunities to educate himself. One day, when my father was 16 and out of work, a pastor saw him sitting under a tree absorbed in a book. He approached Dad and asked him why he wasn’t in school. Dad replied that he had no money for college. The pastor saw his desire to study and recommended him to University of the Cordilleras as a working student. He also gave Dad a job at a local church. Thanks to the pastor, Dad got his Bachelor of Arts degree, then went on to study law and became a successful lawyer. He wrote a widely read textbook on Philippine law.
Looking at my father now, I can see how he was able to overcome so many obstacles. He is by nature a hardworking man, pouring his energy into his career without forgetting his family. He values education—when we were younger, he would tell me and my brother to constantly seek improvement in ourselves through learning.
Like a light, he shines with dignity and respect because of his achievements, but his light radiates the brightest for maintaining our family as a cohesive unit with love and faith as its foundation.
There are times when my dad kids around and asks me, using my childhood nickname, “Sasi, where’s the light ”
I just smile, and point at him.
56. What jokes did Dad play on the writer
A. He considered her a little foolish. B. He treated himself as the light.
C. He turned the light on to be dim for her. D. He asked her to answer many difficult questions.
57. It can be inferred from the second paragraph that .
A. Dad got along well with his sisters. B. Dad didn’t have a happy childhood.
C. Dad was particular about his clothes. D. Dad used to wander in the market.
58. How did Dad finish his college education
A. He won a scholarship by studying hard. B. He got financial support from a pastor.
C. He paid his fees by doing a part-time job. D. He earned money by writing books on law.
59. In the eyes of the writer, her dad .
A. taught his children by himself at home B. worked too hard to forget the family
C. chose careers for his children D. acted as the light in their life
60. Why did the writer write this passage
A. To praise her dad for his effort to success. B. To recall a question asked by her dad.
C. To stress the importance of the light. D. To introduce the benefit of a close family.
C
There’s a song by the great Jamaican singer Bob Marley called So Much Trouble In The World. Marley understood that part of the reason why there are so many problems in the world is the lack of tolerance between people. The UN understands this too-that’s why it made Nov 16 “International Day for Tolerance”.
But first of all, what is tolerance French philosopher Voltaire (1694—1778) can give us some help. According to him, tolerance “is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty (脆弱) and error; let us pardon each other’s folly—that is the first law of nature.”
Nobody’s perfect. When we’re tempted to criticize another person, we should perhaps remember our own imperfections first.
Very often, people don’t realize that they’re intolerant. This is because intolerance has a lot to do with ignorance. For example, the UN’s campaign is in part about the treatment of females by males. But often, the behavior of men toward women is intolerant because men don’t put themselves in the shoes of women.
It’s worth thinking a little about the words “tolerance” and “intolerance”. Are they the best words to describe the evils of which we’re speaking here To agree to be “tolerant” of someone isn’t necessarily a very respectful thing. When someone is tolerated, it implies that there’s something wrong with them.
But it seems wrong that people should agree to “tolerate” people with black skin, for example. And should women think they have received the respect they are due when men agree to “tolerate” them
Still, what Voltaire said stands: We humans are not perfect and this weakness is something that we all share. That’s the reason we should be tolerant.
It’s a little like generosity. We can give things to another person, and we can also give our forgiveness. Bob Marley understood this. In the song mentioned above, he advised: “Write your love on a rock so it stays for eternity; write your hate in the sand so the waves will wash it away.”
61. According to Voltaire, tolerance is .
A. being willing to express your love to others
B. trying to overcome your imperfections
C. giving a hand to vulnerable groups (弱势群体)
D. accepting each other’s weaknesses
62. Why are people usually unaware of their intolerance, according to the article
A. They are used to finding faults.
B. They consider tolerance a kind of frailty.
C. They don’t see things from the angle of others.
D. They are intolerant of themselves too
63. In what sense is “tolerance” similar to “generosity”
A. Humans are advised to treat others better.
B. Humans learned to find faults in others.
C. Humans need to give something to others.
D. Humans will change their attitudes to others.
64. The underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refers to .
A. giving things to others B. forgiving others
C. different attitudes toward love and hate D. the fact that humans are imperfect
65. What’s the text mainly about
A. The origin of the International Day of Tolerance.
B. The meaning and importance of tolerance.
C. The philosophy behind Bob Marley’s song.
D. Effective ways to show tolerance.
D
Don’t we all know a “Happy Meal” when we see one—the famous boxed meal that includes a hamburger, kid-sized French fries, fruits and milk, served with a toy that’s extremely popular with children who love to collect them
A Happy Meal is a form of kids’ meal sold at a certain fast-food chain since 1979. A toy is included in the meal, both of which are usually contained in a box or paper bag. However, collectors of these little toys will not get them any longer, since the company will replace toys with books and each of these books will mainly pass on nutritional messages.
Happy Meals are extremely popular with kids, especially for their collectable toys, when you consider that over 1.3 billion of these packages are sold each year. These packages have been very controversial. Health supporters believe that drawing kids to these meals with toys is clever way of promoting unhealthy food choices. They see it as an advertising strategy of “catching its customers young”—a move that has paid off very well for the fast-food company.
Child development experts say that food habits get formed in children by age six and continue through to their adult life. Fatty and sugary foods such as those served in Happy Meals are believed to play a big role in growing health problems such as obesity and diabetes. Public health care costs have gone up and untold amounts of money have been spent on coping with these health problems. On November 2, 2010, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed a law requiring that children’s meals sold in restaurants must meet certain nutritional standards before they could be sold with toys, to overcome the problem of childhood obesity—in other words, the State of California tried to ban the toys in Happy Meals. However, it was strongly opposed by some as being heavy-handed, and the ban was thrown out by the government.
While some people believe that the fast-food company, with its large following of children, can create a powerful message through the books, others believe its actions are contradictory. Anyway, the company is trying to spread the message of nutrition while it is serving food that is anything but healthy.
66. The aim of the question raised in Paragraph 1 is .
A. give a surprise to the toy lovers B. make readers think about the answer
C. call on readers to buy boxed meals D. get readers’ attention to the article
67. Books will be added into Happy Meals to .
A. introduce the use of the toys B. help kids learn about nutrition
C. increase the cost of the meals D. spread the message of fast food
68. According to Paragraph 3, Happy Meals .
A. cost more money than ordinary meals B. help the customers stay young
C. have achieved the desired result D. receive approval from health supporters
69. What is the author’s opinion about Happy Meals
A. They do no actual good to children’s health.
B. They teach children a lot about nutrition.
C. They bring much fun to children.
D. They are popular with the young and the old.
70. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A. Happy Meal-A New Advertising Method
B. The links Between Food and Health
C. The Importance of Eating Healthy Food
D. Are Happy Meals Really Happy

第一部分 阅读表达（每题2分，共10分）阅读短文，按题目要求回答71-75题。
Mum and Dad never noticed I was failing, but I don’t blame them. They had five children and a busy household. I got through primary school, but within months after starting secondary education I’d been moved into a class for “slow” kids. As far as I was concerned, that was where I belonged, but still felt ashamed.
At 14, I realized things weren’t going to get better. I’d soon leave school unqualified and unemployable. Everyone would know I was stupid. Unable to talk about that with family or friends, I ran away from home.
Life was not easy for me, but I always found a way out. If I had to meet someone, I’d repeat the street name to myself until I found a cab. I avoided situations where I’d have to sign my name. Bills were paid at the post office, in cash. If I had to fill in an application form, I’d take it into the street and ask a passer-by for help. If someone suggested a trip to the theatre, I’d find an excuse not to go.
The turning point emerged with the birth of my daughter, Henrietta, How could I expect her to thrive(茁壮成长) if I wasn’t able to help her with homework Who would read her bedtime stories, if not me I was 30, and couldn’t even recite the alphabet.
I took an evening course but kept it secret from my friends. Gradually, I started to gain what felt like a whole new sense. Within a year, I was able to stand in front of my classmates and deliver a speech about the works of William Blake. After that first year, I told my friends what I’d been up to. The relief was great; it’s like letting out a breath I’d been holding for years. I realized how lonely I’d always been. Finally, I was able to be myself.
Today, my confidence is real, and I feel in control of everything I do. I run a guest house, work as a photographer and am about to complete a degree in psychology and sociology.
71. Why didn’t the author’s parents notice she was failing (No more than 10 words)
72. What would the author do if she had to fill in an application form (No more than 8 words)
73. What does the underlined part “emerged” in Paragraph 4 mean (1 word)

75. What do you think of learning at an older age or throughout one’s life (No more than 20 words)

Dear Chris.
Hearing that you won the first prize in the poetry recitation contest Chinese Bridge hosted by local Confucius Institute, I am so glad and sincerely sending my congratulations to you.
As to the suggestions on how to further learn Chinese, it’s advisable that you should be exposed to Chinese literature, which helps you build a good sense of Chinese language. What’s more, you might as well try keeping a diary in Chinese in that more practice contributes to better mastery. Last but not least, how about finding a Chinese language partner with whom you can communicate if you would like to improve your Chinese fluency
Hope my advice is worth taking. Meanwhile, I’d love to invite you to learn and exchange in China one day.
Yours,
LiJin
