Will I ever make a friend here？I thought, standing in the crowd waiting for the elevator (电梯) at the end of a long workday.I had just recently moved to California to become an editor for a newspaper, but I hadn't made any close connections at the office.Some days I wished I were still in Ohio.Never in my life had I lived so far from Mom and Dad, even in college.Adjusting to my new job 2,500 miles away was difficult.I missed having people I could count on nearby.
The closest I'd come was trading friendly hellos with a middle aged woman who always left around the same time as I did.Her West Coast style really stood out to me：bright colored tops with long flowery skirts.Next to her, in my drab (单调的) pantsuit, I looked as out of place as I felt.
In the crowded elevator, a mark on one man's briefcase caught my eye.Three letters：OSU.Ohio State University？I almost said something, but who talks in crowded elevators？“Is that for Ohio State？” another man asked.“Yep，” the man answered.A chain reaction followed.Everyone in the elevator shared their alma mater (母校)．“I went to Ohio State University in Athens, my hometown，” I said timidly (胆怯地)．The woman in the flowery skirt said immediately，“Me too.Of course，that was almost 25 years ago.” “My mother also went there 25 years ago，” I said.“My name's Carol，”the woman said.“What is your mother's maiden name？” “Marion Lavelle，” I answered.“Marion？Marion and I were classmates.You look like her when she was younger，” Carol said.
When my parents came to town for a visit, the old classmates were finally reunited.Carol looked after me during my years in California like my second mother, and before long I was dressing in a bit of West Coast style too.
4．How did the author feel in the new workplace
A．Tired. B．Lonely.
C．Nervous. D．Excited.
5．The middle aged woman made a deep impression on the author because of ________.
A．her dressing style
B．her pronunciation
C．her working schedule
D．her performance at work
6．What topic broke the silence in the elevator
A．People's dream universities.
B．People's hometowns.
C．People's future plans.
D．People's old schools.
7．What does the author want to tell us
A．A small space unites us all.
B．Blood is thicker than water.
C．Small talk can bring us closer.
D．Talks are a cure for homesickness.
C
When international aid is given, steps must be taken to ensure that the aid reaches the people for whom it is intended.The way to achieve this may not be simple.It is very difficult for a nation to give help directly to people in another nation.The United Nations Organization (UNO) could undertake to direct the distribution of aid.Here however rises the problem of costs.Also tied with this is time.Perhaps the UNO could set up a body of devoted men and women in every country who can speedily distribute aid to victims of floods and earthquakes.
More than the help that one nation can give to another during a disaster, it would be more effective to give other forms of help during normal times.A common proverb says, “Give_me_a_fish_and_I_eat_for_a_day,_teach_me_to_fish_and_I_eat_for_a_lifetime.” If we follow this wise saying, it would be right to teach people from less developed nations to take care of themselves.For example, a country could share its technology with another.This could be in simple areas like agriculture or in more complex areas like medical and health care or even in building satellites.Even a small country is able to help less developed nations.Sometimes what is taken for granted, like the setting up of a water purification plant or the administration of a school, could be useful for countries which are looking about to solve common problems.It does not cost much to share such simple things.Exchange students could be attached for a number of months or years and learn the required craft while on the site.They can then take their knowledge back to their homelands and if necessary come back from time to time to clear doubts or to update themselves.Such aid will be truly helpful and there is no chance of it being temporary or of it falling into the wrong hands.
Many countries run extensive courses in all sorts of skills.It will not cost much to include deserving foreigners in these courses.Besides giving effective help to the countries concerned there is also the build up of friendships to consider.Giving direct help by giving materials may be effective in the short run and must continue to be given in the event of emergencies.However, in the long run what is really effective would be the sharing of knowledge.
8．The second paragraph is developed mainly ________.
A．by analysis B．by process
C．by example D．by contrast
9．Which aid is likely to fall into the wrong hands
A．A medical team. B．Financial support.
C．A water plant. D．An exchange program.
10．What does the author try to express in the underlined sentence in paragraph 2
A．Providing food is vital.
B．Leaning to fish is helpful.
C．Looking after others is important.
D．Teaching techniques is vital.
11．What can we infer about international aid from the passage
A．It is facing difficulties.
B．It should be given in the form of materials.
C．It has gained support by developed countries.
D．It is unnecessary during normal times.
D
The new radio programme from self help expert Glennon Doyle unexpectedly disturbed me.In a session of We Can Do Hard Things, she focuses on boundaries and their importance to our mental happiness.I heartily agree with her, because saying a polite but firm “no” is one of the basics for a happy life.I was, however, interested when she raised the idea that perhaps, as well as learning when to confirm our boundaries, we also need to stretch them.When does a boundary become a cage that locks us away
Isn't it always the case that just as you think you've got an area of life nailed; somebody comes along to show you that that's not the case As I listened, I started to see boundaries that might cause more problems than they were solving.
There was the work boundary that said that unless a project fell exactly into my topics, I wouldn't take it — which meant that I turned down work that was otherwise interesting and rewarding.
There was the boundary that said I wasn't to buy anything until I'd reached my savings goal — which resulted in me having to restart my laptop 20 times a day.
And then there was a boundary around relationships that set out exactly how I should be treated and what I wanted in them.Helpful to some extent, it blocked me from allowing someone to express their love for me, even if it wasn't quite what I had predicted.
Had I been doing boundaries wrong all the time Did I need to figure them all out again I've spent the past few weeks looking at the boundaries I've secretly put in place, and I've let myself lower some that have been my protection over the years.Then I've come to the conclusion that when it comes to boundaries, I'm a beginner again, and that's fine.In fact, being back at the beginning is a blessing because it means there are still lessons to be learned and adventures to be taken and that is something for which I can only be grateful.
12．What has really interested the author in Glennon Doyle's programme
A．The importance of confirming our boundaries.
B．The benefits of boundaries to our happiness.
C．The urgency of maintaining our boundaries.
D．The necessity of reassessing our boundaries.
13．Which statement on boundaries will the author agree with
A．We should favour savings goals over boundaries.
B．Boundaries tend to keep us from potential friends.
C．Boundaries are very likely to relieve boredom at work.
D．We should stick to boundaries despite inconvenience.
14．How did the author feel about boundaries after the conclusion
A．Relaxed. B．Depressed.
C．Pressured. D．Amused.
15．What is probably the best title for the passage
A．Just when you think you've got things sorted
B．Just where you believe there's no way out
C．How can we live a life without boundaries
D．How do we become victims of boundaries

I had stage fright and was always the shy, quiet one who was never courageous to speak in front of others.I had never managed to do a presentation without stammering (结巴)．Every time I saw someone making a speech, I would imagine myself in his or her place, receiving the applause and praise.
I was walking to the canteen with Asta.She, as usual, was looking at the script.She had been chosen to be the presenter for the National Day Celebration.I sighed to myself.Why could I not be like her, always loud and brave If only there was a way to prove myself ...
Just then, I caught a glimpse of a poster on the noticeboard.
“Minute to say it？” I read the poster out loud.
It was a competition where one has to prepare a speech about a particular topic and summarize it on the stage within one minute.This could be my big chance to overcome my stage fright! And the best part was, if I won the competition, I would receive a mini trophy (小奖杯)．
Without thinking twice, I grabbed a form and filled in it.I took a seat in the canteen with Asta and told her what I had done, after which she said that she had also signed up for the competition.Suddenly, regret hit me like a 20 pound hammer.I was competing against Asta who was the best speaker in the school! I was bound to lose! Why was I so ill fated I just wanted a chance to prove myself that I could overcome my stage fright.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。
The big day finally arrived.
Next, it was Asta's turn.

Will I ever make a friend here？I thought, standing in the crowd waiting for the elevator (电梯) at the end of a long workday.I had just recently moved to California to become an editor for a newspaper, but I hadn't made any close connections at the office.Some days I wished I were still in Ohio.Never in my life had I lived so far from Mom and Dad, even in college.Adjusting to my new job 2,500 miles away was difficult.I missed having people I could count on nearby.
The closest I'd come was trading friendly hellos with a middle aged woman who always left around the same time as I did.Her West Coast style really stood out to me：bright colored tops with long flowery skirts.Next to her, in my drab (单调的) pantsuit, I looked as out of place as I felt.
In the crowded elevator, a mark on one man's briefcase caught my eye.Three letters：OSU.Ohio State University？I almost said something, but who talks in crowded elevators？“Is that for Ohio State？” another man asked.“Yep，” the man answered.A chain reaction followed.Everyone in the elevator shared their alma mater (母校)．“I went to Ohio State University in Athens, my hometown，” I said timidly (胆怯地)．The woman in the flowery skirt said immediately，“Me too.Of course，that was almost 25 years ago.” “My mother also went there 25 years ago，” I said.“My name's Carol，”the woman said.“What is your mother's maiden name？” “Marion Lavelle，” I answered.“Marion？Marion and I were classmates.You look like her when she was younger，” Carol said.
When my parents came to town for a visit, the old classmates were finally reunited.Carol looked after me during my years in California like my second mother, and before long I was dressing in a bit of West Coast style too.
4．How did the author feel in the new workplace
A．Tired. B．Lonely.
C．Nervous. D．Excited.
5．The middle aged woman made a deep impression on the author because of ________.
A．her dressing style
B．her pronunciation

D．her performance at work
6．What topic broke the silence in the elevator

B．People's hometowns.
C．People's future plans.
D．People's old schools.

When international aid is given, steps must be taken to ensure that the aid reaches the people for whom it is intended.The way to achieve this may not be simple.It is very difficult for a nation to give help directly to people in another nation.The United Nations Organization (UNO) could undertake to direct the distribution of aid.Here however rises the problem of costs.Also tied with this is time.Perhaps the UNO could set up a body of devoted men and women in every country who can speedily distribute aid to victims of floods and earthquakes.
More than the help that one nation can give to another during a disaster, it would be more effective to give other forms of help during normal times.A common proverb says, “Give_me_a_fish_and_I_eat_for_a_day,_teach_me_to_fish_and_I_eat_for_a_lifetime.” If we follow this wise saying, it would be right to teach people from less developed nations to take care of themselves.For example, a country could share its technology with another.This could be in simple areas like agriculture or in more complex areas like medical and health care or even in building satellites.Even a small country is able to help less developed nations.Sometimes what is taken for granted, like the setting up of a water purification plant or the administration of a school, could be useful for countries which are looking about to solve common problems.It does not cost much to share such simple things.Exchange students could be attached for a number of months or years and learn the required craft while on the site.They can then take their knowledge back to their homelands and if necessary come back from time to time to clear doubts or to update themselves.Such aid will be truly helpful and there is no chance of it being temporary or of it falling into the wrong hands.
Many countries run extensive courses in all sorts of skills.It will not cost much to include deserving foreigners in these courses.Besides giving effective help to the countries concerned there is also the build up of friendships to consider.Giving direct help by giving materials may be effective in the short run and must continue to be given in the event of emergencies.However, in the long run what is really effective would be the sharing of knowledge.
8．The second paragraph is developed mainly ________.
A．by analysis B．by process
C．by example D．by contrast
9．Which aid is likely to fall into the wrong hands
A．A medical team. B．Financial support.
C．A water plant. D．An exchange program.

B．Leaning to fish is helpful.
C．Looking after others is important.
D．Teaching techniques is vital.
11．What can we infer about international aid from the passage

The new radio programme from self help expert Glennon Doyle unexpectedly disturbed me.In a session of We Can Do Hard Things, she focuses on boundaries and their importance to our mental happiness.I heartily agree with her, because saying a polite but firm “no” is one of the basics for a happy life.I was, however, interested when she raised the idea that perhaps, as well as learning when to confirm our boundaries, we also need to stretch them.When does a boundary become a cage that locks us away
Isn't it always the case that just as you think you've got an area of life nailed; somebody comes along to show you that that's not the case As I listened, I started to see boundaries that might cause more problems than they were solving.
There was the work boundary that said that unless a project fell exactly into my topics, I wouldn't take it — which meant that I turned down work that was otherwise interesting and rewarding.
There was the boundary that said I wasn't to buy anything until I'd reached my savings goal — which resulted in me having to restart my laptop 20 times a day.
And then there was a boundary around relationships that set out exactly how I should be treated and what I wanted in them.Helpful to some extent, it blocked me from allowing someone to express their love for me, even if it wasn't quite what I had predicted.
Had I been doing boundaries wrong all the time Did I need to figure them all out again I've spent the past few weeks looking at the boundaries I've secretly put in place, and I've let myself lower some that have been my protection over the years.Then I've come to the conclusion that when it comes to boundaries, I'm a beginner again, and that's fine.In fact, being back at the beginning is a blessing because it means there are still lessons to be learned and adventures to be taken and that is something for which I can only be grateful.
12．What has really interested the author in Glennon Doyle's programme
A．The importance of confirming our boundaries.
B．The benefits of boundaries to our happiness.
C．The urgency of maintaining our boundaries.
D．The necessity of reassessing our boundaries.
13．Which statement on boundaries will the author agree with
A．We should favour savings goals over boundaries.
B．Boundaries tend to keep us from potential friends.
C．Boundaries are very likely to relieve boredom at work.
D．We should stick to boundaries despite inconvenience.
14．How did the author feel about boundaries after the conclusion
A．Relaxed. B．Depressed.
C．Pressured. D．Amused.
15．What is probably the best title for the passage
A．Just when you think you've got things sorted
B．Just where you believe there's no way out
C．How can we live a life without boundaries
D．How do we become victims of boundaries

I had stage fright and was always the shy, quiet one who was never courageous to speak in front of others.I had never managed to do a presentation without stammering (结巴)．Every time I saw someone making a speech, I would imagine myself in his or her place, receiving the applause and praise.
I was walking to the canteen with Asta.She, as usual, was looking at the script.She had been chosen to be the presenter for the National Day Celebration.I sighed to myself.Why could I not be like her, always loud and brave If only there was a way to prove myself ...
Just then, I caught a glimpse of a poster on the noticeboard.
“Minute to say it？” I read the poster out loud.
It was a competition where one has to prepare a speech about a particular topic and summarize it on the stage within one minute.This could be my big chance to overcome my stage fright! And the best part was, if I won the competition, I would receive a mini trophy (小奖杯)．
Without thinking twice, I grabbed a form and filled in it.I took a seat in the canteen with Asta and told her what I had done, after which she said that she had also signed up for the competition.Suddenly, regret hit me like a 20 pound hammer.I was competing against Asta who was the best speaker in the school! I was bound to lose! Why was I so ill fated I just wanted a chance to prove myself that I could overcome my stage fright.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。
The big day finally arrived.
Next, it was Asta's turn.

第二节 参考范文：
The big day finally arrived. Many students were backstage, all nervous and anxious.Time seemed to pass very quickly as the first few contestants made their way to the stage.Soon enough, it was my turn.As I walked up the stage unsteadily, my legs turned to jelly.“This ...is ...is ...my ...” I began.“No! No more stammering.I can do this！” I told myself.With forty seconds left, I went through the rest of my speech fluently.The moment the stopwatch clicked stop, I sighed a huge sigh of relief.
Next, it was Asta's turn. Her speech was so brilliant that even I was attracted! Later, at the prize ceremony, Asta was made champion while I got second place.Although I did not win the championship, I was more than happy to come in second.At least I had something to take home to show my parents.Hmmm ...Come to think of it ...Maybe overcoming my fear was not so bad after all.
