After spending a long day driving the day before,Steinkamp left his hotel around 5:30 a.m. to a funeral in Green Bay,Wisconsin.About half an hour into his journey,he noticed a small strange sound coming from his front tire.By 7 a.m.,he still had 70 miles ahead of him,but the noise was so loud that he knew he had no choice but to stop.
Steinkamp figured there was little possibility that anyone in Wild Rose,Wisconsin-a tiny town with a population of 725-could help so early in the morning.Still,he look his chance at an auto repair shop.Luckily, Steinkamp spotted Glenn Geib stocking the shelves,and he asked for help.Giving Steinkamp a quick look,Geib asked why he was so dressed up,and Steinkamp explained his dilemma.
The mechanic checked the car and told Steinkamp what he'd feared: the wheel bearing（轴承）was failing.Fixing it would take a few hours,but there was no chance the car would make it that distance without repairs.
"I must have looked pretty stressed out at this time because Glenn then reached into his pocket,pulled out the keys to HIS vehicle and said 'Take my truck and get going,'" Steinkamp wrote in a Facebook post.
The men had met just 10 minutes before and didn't know each other's names,but Geib insisted.Steinkamp made it to the funeral.When he came back to the garage seven hours later with a thankful heart,he stuck around to chat with Geib.
"The 74-year-old mechanic turned a terrible day into a good one with a great lesson." Steimkamp wrote, "Just be kind and help if you can."
24.Where was Steinkamp when he had to stop his car?
A.Just outside of the hotel he stayed in. B.In a small town called Wild Rose.
C.At a funeral in Green Bay,Wisconsin. D.70 miles away from Wild Rose,Wisconsin.
25.What was wrong with Steinkamp's car?
A.The front tire went flat suddenly. B.The engine failed to work.
C.The wheel bearing needed repairing. D.The car couldn't get started.
26.Which of the following words can best describe Glenn Geib?

C.A Valuable Lesson. D.A Random Act of Kindness.
C
With all the wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, it's not only necessary, but also essential to have a good sense of humor just to help us get through each and every day of our lives. Putting a smile on someone's face when you know they are feeling down in the dump, makes me feel good and warms my heart.
How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife, husband, child, co-worker, neighbor, close friends, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store? I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I don't know the person I'm joking around with. My Grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is common courtesy(礼貌)to speak to others that are around you.
I know of a few people that don’t have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say. Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their face. They don't get the joke that makes others laugh. I am busting a gut while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were from outer space. How can people not get a really funny joke?
Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under control. Without humor we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy. There is too much sadness in this present world. It drives people crazy. We all need to find a way to ignore the sadness and bring a little light into our lives. So, I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.
28. What is the author’s attitude towards the present world?
A. Critical B. Positive C. Satisfied D. Indifferent
29. The phrase “busting a gut" in the third paragraph can be replaced by _______.
A. explaining carefully B. speaking loud
C. keeping silent D. laughing hard
30. According to the author, humor is useful in the aspect that _________.
A. it makes people more confident B. it can pick up people’s spirits
C. it can help get rid of the cruelty in the world D. it can help people get on well with others
31. In writing the passage, the author mainly intends to _______.
A. introduce a practical way to get through daily life
B. convince people of the power of humour
C. encourage people to be humorous in daily life
D. talk about his own understanding of humor
D
Eudaimonia is an Ancient Greek word, particularly stressed by the philosophers Plato and Aristotle, which deserves far more attention than it has because it corrects the shortfalls (缺失）in one of the most central, but troubling words in our modem language: happiness.
When we nowadays try to clearly express the purpose of our lives，it is the word “happiness” that we commonly turn to. We tell ourselves and others that the most important principle for our jobs, our relationships and the conduct of our day-to-day lives is the pursuit of happiness. It sounds like an innocent enough idea, but too much reliance on the term means that we frequently unfairly tend to quit or, at least, heavily question a great many challenging but worthwhile situations. The Ancient Greeks did not believe that the purpose of life was to be happy; they proposed that it was to achieve Eudaimonia, a word which has been best translated as “fulfilment”.
What distinguishes happiness from fulfilment is pain. It is very possible to be fulfilled and—at the same time—under pressure, suffering physically or mentally, overburdened and, quite frequently, in an irritable (易怒的）mood. This is a slight psychological difference that is hard for the word “happiness” to capture, for it’s tricky to speak of being happy yet unhappy, or happy yet suffering. However, such a combination is readily accommodated within the respected and noble-sounding idea of Eudaimonia.
The word encourages us to trust that many of life’s most worthwhile projects will sometimes be in conflict with contentment, and yet will be worth pursuing. Properly exploring our professional talents, managing a household, keeping a relationship going, creating a new business venture or engaging in politics... none of these goals are likely to leave us cheerful and grinning on a daily basis. They will, in fact, involve us in all manner of challenges that will deeply exhaust and weaken us, provoke (激怒）and wound us. And yet we will perhaps, at the end of our lives, still feel that the tasks were worth undertaking. Through them, we’ll have achieved something deeper and more interesting than happiness.
With the word Eudaimonia in mind, we can stop imagining that we are aiming for a pain-free existence—and then blaming ourselves unfairly for being in a bad mood. We’ll know that we are trying to do something far more important than smile all the time: we're striving to do justice to our full human potential.
32. What do we know about “Eudaimonia” from the passage?
A. It was first created by two Greek philosophers.
B. It has received a lot of attention from the public.
C. It still has some shortfalls that need to be corrected.
D. It was regarded as the purpose of life in ancient Greece.
33. According to Paragraph 3, happiness__________.
A. is the opposite of fulfillment
B. is free from physical or mental pain
C. stresses the psychological difference
D. serves as a respected and noble life goal
34. We can learn from the passage that__________.
A. aiming for happiness may lead to wrong self-blaming
B. goals that wound and weaken us result in happiness
C. challenges leading to contentment are worth undertaking
D. feeling fulfilled means we should avoid tough situations
35. The passage encourages the readers to__________.
A. find fulfillment with all efforts
B. seek for a pain-free existence
C. keep optimistic whatever happens
D. balance happiness and suffering

Dear Peter,
I am writing to ask a favor of you. This September, I am going to have a 4-month further study in the USA. I wonder if you could help me find proper accommodation.
About the flat, can you find one with a kitchen? I am not quite used to the western food, so I would like to cook myself. Besides, Internet connection is a must. As you know, some assignments have to be submitted through the Internet.
To lower the cost, I prefer to share the flat with a roommate, hopefully, a native English speaker so that I can practice my spoken English. Also, I hope my roommate is friendly and easy-going.
I would be grateful for your help.
Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours, Li Hua

However, such a combination is readily accommodated within the respected and noble-sounding idea of Eudaimonia.
The word encourages us to trust that many of life’s most worthwhile projects will sometimes be in conflict with contentment, and yet will be worth pursuing. Properly exploring our professional talents, managing a household, keeping a relationship going, creating a new business venture or engaging in politics... none of these goals are likely to leave us cheerful and grinning on a daily basis. They will, in fact, involve us in all manner of challenges that will deeply exhaust and weaken us, provoke (激怒）and wound us. And yet we will perhaps, at the end of our lives, still feel that the tasks were worth undertaking. Through them, we’ll have achieved something deeper and more interesting than happiness.
With the word Eudaimonia in mind, we can stop imagining that we are aiming for a pain-free existence—and then blaming ourselves unfairly for being in a bad mood. We’ll know that we are trying to do something far more important than smile all the time: we're striving to do justice to our full human potential.
32. What do we know about “Eudaimonia” from the passage?
A. It was first created by two Greek philosophers.
B. It has received a lot of attention from the public.
C. It still has some shortfalls that need to be corrected.
D. It was regarded as the purpose of life in ancient Greece.
33. According to Paragraph 3, happiness__________.
A. is the opposite of fulfillment
B. is free from physical or mental pain
C. stresses the psychological difference
D. serves as a respected and noble life goal
34. We can learn from the passage that__________.
A. aiming for happiness may lead to wrong self-blaming
B. goals that wound and weaken us result in happiness
C. challenges leading to contentment are worth undertaking
D. feeling fulfilled means we should avoid tough situations
35. The passage encourages the readers to__________.
A. find fulfillment with all efforts
B. seek for a pain-free existence
C. keep optimistic whatever happens
D. balance happiness and suffering

书面表达：参考范文One possible version
Dear Peter,
I am writing to ask a favor of you. This September, I am going to have a 4-month further study in the USA. I wonder if you could help me find proper accommodation.
About the flat, can you find one with a kitchen? I am not quite used to the western food, so I would like to cook myself. Besides, Internet connection is a must. As you know, some assignments have to be submitted through the Internet.
To lower the cost, I prefer to share the flat with a roommate, hopefully, a native English speaker so that I can practice my spoken English. Also, I hope my roommate is friendly and easy-going.
I would be grateful for your help.
Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours, Li Hua
