Small moments sometimes last a very long time. And a few words—though they mean 36 at the time to the people who say them—can have a great power.
I recently heard a story from Malcolm Dalkoff, who has been a professional 37 for the last 24 years, mostly in advertising.
As a boy, Dalkof was terribly shy and 38. he had few friends and no self-confidence. Then one day, his high-school English teacher, Ruth Brauch, asked the class to write their own chapter that would 39 the last chapter of the novel since they had been reading To Kill a Mockingbird. Dalkoff wrote his chapter and turned it in. Today he cannot recall anything 40 about the chapter he wrote, or what 41 Mrs. Brauch gave him. 42, what he does remember is the four words in the paper: “This is good writing.”
Four words. They 43 his life.
“44 I read those words, I had no idea of who I was or what I was going to be,” he said. “After reading her 45, I went home and wrote a short story, 46 I had always dreamed of doing but never 47 I could do.”
48 the rest of that year in school, he wrote many short stories and always brought them to Mrs. Brauch for 49. “She was encouraging, helpful and honest. She was just what I needed,” Dalkoff said.
Later he was 50 as a co-editor of his high-school newspaper. His 51 grew; his knowledge broaded; he 52 on a successful life with great achievements. Dalkoff 53 that none of this would have had happened if that woman had not written those four words.
For his 30th high-school reunion, Dalkoff went back and visited Mrs. Brauch, who had retired. He told her what great 54 the four words had had upon his life and because she had given him the confidence to be a writer, he had been able to 55 that confidence on to the woman who would become his wife, who became a writer herself.

三、阅读理解：（共25小题，满分45分）
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并把答案写在答题卷上。（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）
A
Have you ever been in a meeting while someone was making a speech and realized suddenly that your mind was a million miles away? You probably felt sorry and made up your mind to pay attention and never have daydreaming again. Most of us, from earliest school days, have been told that daydreaming is a waste of time.
“On the contrary,” says L. Giambra, an expert in psychology, “daydreaming is quite necessary. Without it, the mind couldn’t get done all the thinking it has to do during a normal day---. You can’t possibly do all your thinking with a conscious mind. Instead, your unconscious mind is working out problems all the time. Daydreaming may be one way that the unconscious and conscious states of mind have silent dialogues.”
Early experts in psychology paid no attention to the importance of daydreams or even considered them harmful. At one time daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illness. They did not have a better understanding of daydreams until the late 1980s. Eric Klinges, a professor, is the writer of the book Daydreaming. Klinges says, “We know now that daydreaming is one of the main ways that we organize our lives, learn from our experiences, and plan for our futures---. Daydreams really are a window on the things we fear and the things we long for in life.”
Daydreams are usually very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand. It’s easier to gain a deep understanding of your life by paying close attention to your daydreams than by trying to examine your sleep dreams carefully. Daydreams help you recognize the difficult situations in your life and found out a possible way of dealing with them.
Daydreams cannot be predicted: they move off in unexpected directions which may be creative and full of useful ideas. For many famous artists and scientists, daydreams were and are a main source of creative energy.
56. The writer of this passage considers daydreams __________.
A. hard to understand B. important and helpful
C. harmful and unimportant D. the same as sleep dreams
57. The writer quoted L. Giambra and Eric Klinges to ________.
A. point out the wrong ideas of early experts B. list out two different ideas
C. support his own ideas D. report the latest research on daydreams
58. Which of the following is true?
A. An unconscious mind can work all the problems out.
B. Daydreaming can give artists and scientists ideas for creations.
C. Professor Eric Klinges has a better idea than L. Gimabra.
D. Early experts didn’t understand what daydreams were.
59. Experts now believe that ________.
A. daydreams cause some mental illness
B. daydreams are not easy to control and direct
C. the more daydreams you have, the more you’ll achieve.
D. people fear as long for daydreams
60. What is the difference between daydreams and sleep dreams?
A. People have daydreams and sleep dreams at different times.
B. Daydreams are the result of unconscious mind while sleep dreams are that of conscious mind
C. Daydreams are easy to understand.
D. Daydreams are more helpful in solving problems.
B
It is a shiny yellow metal, but it is one of the most valuable on earth. Since the beginning of tine, men have looked for this extremely valuable item: gold.
Gold is soft and easy to form into different objects. If it gets wet, it does not rust like iron or other metals. Acids do not change it. One important reason that gold is so valuable is that it is scarce, because of its softness, gold must be combined with other metals to harden it and give it strength. By hardening gold, people can then make coins and jewelry with it. Metals commonly mixed with gold are nickel, platinum, and copper. Gold jewelry bears a number and the letter K. The K means karat (carat), which is a measure of the amount of pure gold in the jewelry. Pure gold is 24K. Therefore, a necklace which is 14K is fourteen parts gold and ten parts other metals.
Many countries make use of gold for certain coins, but this practice is not as common now as it once was. The United States, for instance, stopped making gold coins in 1933.
61. Which is not the reason why gold is highly valuable?
A. it can be made into jewelry. B. It is not easily found.
C. it is soft and shiny. D. It does not rust when wet.
62. If a ring is marked 12K, then the percentage of gold in it is ________.
A. 12 B. 50 C. 25 D. 24
63. Gold may be correctly described by the following except ________.
A. soft B. strong C. acid-resistant D. bright
C
Pets in workplace please workers may reduce stress
Many employees are in favor of having pets in their workplace and believe they help reduce stress and improve their health, a recent study suggests.
“The response was positive,” Dr. Meredith Wells told Reuters health. “People thought pets reduced stress, and improved job satisfaction.”
Other studies have found that pets can reduce stress and blood pressure levels for children, old adults, and sick patients, “but few studies have examined the effect of pets in the workplace,” Wells said.
Employees reported that pets in workplace are good for business.
Not everyone was entirely enthusiastic. Some drawbacks reported were noise from barking, hair on the floor. There was also some concern that customers may be afraid of the animal.
However, these responses were in the minority. “When we asked what were the drawbacks, the most common response was, “There aren’t any,” Wells said.
Wells said she would encourage companies to experiment with a pet police. “I would cautiously recommend it to people, saying they would give it a try,” she said. “However, it may not be very good for every company.”
64. It seemed that ______ were in favor of having pets in their workplace.
A. all of the employees B. quite a few of the employees
C. very few of the employees D. only a few of the employees
65. It is wrong to say that pets will help __________.
A. to reduce job satisfaction B. to improve one’s health
C. to reduce blood pressure D. to reduce one’s stress
66. Not everyone was entirely enthusiastic. That means ________.
A. some people didn’t like the idea B. not everyone fully understood the idea
C. many people were not in favor of the idea D. very few people liked the idea
67. Which of the following word has the same meaning as “drawback”?
A. mistake B. wrong C. fault D. problem
D
The interview has been going on for about 20 minutes and everything seems to be going well. Then, suddenly, the interviewer asks an unexpected question, “Which is more important, law or love?”
Job applicants in the West increasingly find themselves asked strange questions like this. And the signs are that this is beginning to happen in China.
Employers want people who are skilled, enthusiastic and devoted. So these are the qualities that any intelligent job applicant will try to show no matter what his or her actual feelings are. In response, employers are increasingly using questions which try and show the applicant’s true personality.
The question in the first paragraph comes from a test called the Kiersey Personality Sorter. It is an attempt to discover how people solve problems, rather than what they know. This is often called aptitude testing.
According to Mark Baldwin of Alliance many job applicants in China are finding this type of questions difficult. When a Chinese person fills out an aptitude test he or she will think there is a right answer and they may well fail because they try to guess what the examiner wants to see.
This is sometimes called the prisoner’s dilemma. Applicants are trying to act cleverly in their own interests. But they fail because they don’t understand what the interviewer is looking for. Remember that in an aptitude test, the correct answer is always the honest answer.
68. Aptitude testing is to test ________.
A. how much an applicant knows B. what an applicant knows
C. the ability to learn D. the ability to solve problems
69. The writer wrote the passage to ________.
A. explain what an aptitude test is about
B. advise you how to answer an unexpected question
C. give you a good piece of advice on a job interview
D. how to act cleverly in a job interview
70. In an interview, job applicants should ________.
A. learn to tell what you really think B. act as cleverly as possible
C. show all your abilities D. be more enthusiastic
71. The interviewers often ask strange questions to ________.
A. find out how well the applicants can answer
B. see if the applicants are skilled and devoted
C. test if the applicants are honest or not
D. know the applicants’ true personality.
72. The correct answer is always the honest answer, because ______.
A. it can help the interviewers know you fully B. it shows you are honest
C. it is very difficult to be honest D. honest is more important than anything else

One possible version: Should students make friends on line? Some people say yes. The Internet helps make many friends. Chatting on line, students can more freely express their feelings and opinions, and even get help with their foreign language studies.
Others, however, think students should not. They say making feirnss on line is a waste of time, which should be spent more meaningfully on study. Besides, some students get cheated on line.
It is my opinion that students should place their study, health and safety before other things. As for friendship, we can readily find it in our classmates and other people around us.

Small moments sometimes last a very long time. And a few words—though they mean 36 at the time to the people who say them—can have a great power.
I recently heard a story from Malcolm Dalkoff, who has been a professional 37 for the last 24 years, mostly in advertising.
As a boy, Dalkof was terribly shy and 38. he had few friends and no self-confidence. Then one day, his high-school English teacher, Ruth Brauch, asked the class to write their own chapter that would 39 the last chapter of the novel since they had been reading To Kill a Mockingbird. Dalkoff wrote his chapter and turned it in. Today he cannot recall anything 40 about the chapter he wrote, or what 41 Mrs. Brauch gave him. 42, what he does remember is the four words in the paper: “This is good writing.”
Four words. They 43 his life.
“44 I read those words, I had no idea of who I was or what I was going to be,” he said. “After reading her 45, I went home and wrote a short story, 46 I had always dreamed of doing but never 47 I could do.”
48 the rest of that year in school, he wrote many short stories and always brought them to Mrs. Brauch for 49. “She was encouraging, helpful and honest. She was just what I needed,” Dalkoff said.
Later he was 50 as a co-editor of his high-school newspaper. His 51 grew; his knowledge broaded; he 52 on a successful life with great achievements. Dalkoff 53 that none of this would have had happened if that woman had not written those four words.
For his 30th high-school reunion, Dalkoff went back and visited Mrs. Brauch, who had retired. He told her what great 54 the four words had had upon his life and because she had given him the confidence to be a writer, he had been able to 55 that confidence on to the woman who would become his wife, who became a writer herself.

A
Have you ever been in a meeting while someone was making a speech and realized suddenly that your mind was a million miles away? You probably felt sorry and made up your mind to pay attention and never have daydreaming again. Most of us, from earliest school days, have been told that daydreaming is a waste of time.
“On the contrary,” says L. Giambra, an expert in psychology, “daydreaming is quite necessary. Without it, the mind couldn’t get done all the thinking it has to do during a normal day---. You can’t possibly do all your thinking with a conscious mind. Instead, your unconscious mind is working out problems all the time. Daydreaming may be one way that the unconscious and conscious states of mind have silent dialogues.”
Early experts in psychology paid no attention to the importance of daydreams or even considered them harmful. At one time daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illness. They did not have a better understanding of daydreams until the late 1980s. Eric Klinges, a professor, is the writer of the book Daydreaming. Klinges says, “We know now that daydreaming is one of the main ways that we organize our lives, learn from our experiences, and plan for our futures---. Daydreams really are a window on the things we fear and the things we long for in life.”
Daydreams are usually very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand. It’s easier to gain a deep understanding of your life by paying close attention to your daydreams than by trying to examine your sleep dreams carefully. Daydreams help you recognize the difficult situations in your life and found out a possible way of dealing with them.
Daydreams cannot be predicted: they move off in unexpected directions which may be creative and full of useful ideas. For many famous artists and scientists, daydreams were and are a main source of creative energy.

A. hard to understand B. important and helpful

A. An unconscious mind can work all the problems out.
B. Daydreaming can give artists and scientists ideas for creations.
C. Professor Eric Klinges has a better idea than L. Gimabra.
D. Early experts didn’t understand what daydreams were.
59. Experts now believe that ________.
A. daydreams cause some mental illness
B. daydreams are not easy to control and direct
C. the more daydreams you have, the more you’ll achieve.

It is a shiny yellow metal, but it is one of the most valuable on earth. Since the beginning of tine, men have looked for this extremely valuable item: gold.
Gold is soft and easy to form into different objects. If it gets wet, it does not rust like iron or other metals. Acids do not change it. One important reason that gold is so valuable is that it is scarce, because of its softness, gold must be combined with other metals to harden it and give it strength. By hardening gold, people can then make coins and jewelry with it. Metals commonly mixed with gold are nickel, platinum, and copper. Gold jewelry bears a number and the letter K. The K means karat (carat), which is a measure of the amount of pure gold in the jewelry. Pure gold is 24K. Therefore, a necklace which is 14K is fourteen parts gold and ten parts other metals.
Many countries make use of gold for certain coins, but this practice is not as common now as it once was. The United States, for instance, stopped making gold coins in 1933.
61. Which is not the reason why gold is highly valuable?
A. it can be made into jewelry. B. It is not easily found.
C. it is soft and shiny. D. It does not rust when wet.
62. If a ring is marked 12K, then the percentage of gold in it is ________.
A. 12 B. 50 C. 25 D. 24
63. Gold may be correctly described by the following except ________.
A. soft B. strong C. acid-resistant D. bright

Pets in workplace please workers may reduce stress
Many employees are in favor of having pets in their workplace and believe they help reduce stress and improve their health, a recent study suggests.
“The response was positive,” Dr. Meredith Wells told Reuters health. “People thought pets reduced stress, and improved job satisfaction.”
Other studies have found that pets can reduce stress and blood pressure levels for children, old adults, and sick patients, “but few studies have examined the effect of pets in the workplace,” Wells said.
Employees reported that pets in workplace are good for business.
Not everyone was entirely enthusiastic. Some drawbacks reported were noise from barking, hair on the floor. There was also some concern that customers may be afraid of the animal.
However, these responses were in the minority. “When we asked what were the drawbacks, the most common response was, “There aren’t any,” Wells said.
Wells said she would encourage companies to experiment with a pet police. “I would cautiously recommend it to people, saying they would give it a try,” she said. “However, it may not be very good for every company.”
64. It seemed that ______ were in favor of having pets in their workplace.
A. all of the employees B. quite a few of the employees
C. very few of the employees D. only a few of the employees

A. to reduce job satisfaction B. to improve one’s health

The interview has been going on for about 20 minutes and everything seems to be going well. Then, suddenly, the interviewer asks an unexpected question, “Which is more important, law or love?”
Job applicants in the West increasingly find themselves asked strange questions like this. And the signs are that this is beginning to happen in China.
Employers want people who are skilled, enthusiastic and devoted. So these are the qualities that any intelligent job applicant will try to show no matter what his or her actual feelings are. In response, employers are increasingly using questions which try and show the applicant’s true personality.
The question in the first paragraph comes from a test called the Kiersey Personality Sorter. It is an attempt to discover how people solve problems, rather than what they know. This is often called aptitude testing.
According to Mark Baldwin of Alliance many job applicants in China are finding this type of questions difficult. When a Chinese person fills out an aptitude test he or she will think there is a right answer and they may well fail because they try to guess what the examiner wants to see.
This is sometimes called the prisoner’s dilemma. Applicants are trying to act cleverly in their own interests. But they fail because they don’t understand what the interviewer is looking for. Remember that in an aptitude test, the correct answer is always the honest answer.
68. Aptitude testing is to test ________.
A. how much an applicant knows B. what an applicant knows
C. the ability to learn D. the ability to solve problems
69. The writer wrote the passage to ________.
A. explain what an aptitude test is about
B. advise you how to answer an unexpected question
C. give you a good piece of advice on a job interview
D. how to act cleverly in a job interview
70. In an interview, job applicants should ________.
A. learn to tell what you really think B. act as cleverly as possible
C. show all your abilities D. be more enthusiastic
71. The interviewers often ask strange questions to ________.
A. find out how well the applicants can answer
B. see if the applicants are skilled and devoted
C. test if the applicants are honest or not
D. know the applicants’ true personality.
72. The correct answer is always the honest answer, because ______.
A. it can help the interviewers know you fully B. it shows you are honest

One possible version: Should students make friends on line? Some people say yes. The Internet helps make many friends. Chatting on line, students can more freely express their feelings and opinions, and even get help with their foreign language studies.
Others, however, think students should not. They say making feirnss on line is a waste of time, which should be spent more meaningfully on study. Besides, some students get cheated on line.
It is my opinion that students should place their study, health and safety before other things. As for friendship, we can readily find it in our classmates and other people around us.
