阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh(法老) treated the message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off.
Shades of that spirit spread over today’s conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walked light?heartedly out of the door, picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, “Oh boy, a bad day for a picnic. The weatherman says it’s going to rain.” I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report, but for his smile.
Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter, the sales agent said with a broad smile, “Oh, that bus left five minutes ago.” Dreams of head?cutting!
It’s not the news that makes someone angry. It’s the unsympathetic attitude with which it’s delivered(传递). Everyone must give bad news from time to time, and big winners do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising his patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way. A boss informing an employee he fails to get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver.
Unfortunately, many people are not aware of this. When you’re tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn’t ready yet? When you had your heart set on the toasted beef, has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece? It makes you as a traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces.
Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warning. Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said, “Oh,that’s all right. I’ll catch the next one.” Big winners, when they bear bad news, deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded(被轰炸的) person is sure to have.
1.From “Dreams of head?cutting!”(Paragraph 3), we learn that the writer________.
A.was reminded of the cruel pharaoh
B.was mad at the sales agent
C.wished that the sales agent would have bad dreams
D.dreamed of cutting the sales agent’s head that night
2.Which of the following is true?
A.The author really appreciated the neighbor’s warning.
B.From the passage we know that it is the bad news that makes someone angry.
C.If the runner brought to the pharaoh unhappy news, he would be treated like a prince.
D.When we want to deliver any bad news, we should share the feeling of the receiver.
3.What is the main idea of the text?
A.Receiving bad news requires great courage.
B.Helping others sincerely is the key to business success.
C.Delivering bad news with sympathy is important in communication.
D.Learning ancient traditions can be useful.
4.In the writer’s opinion, his neighbor was________.

At the first show of The Fault in Our Stars in New York City, the scene I found most difficult to watch was when 16?year?old Hazel, who has Stage 4 thyroid (甲状腺) cancer, wakes up in the middle of the night out of breath.
It brought me back to one night in 2008, when I watched my father carry my sister Esther from her bedroom to an ambulance. She was 14 at the time, struggling with thyroid cancer that had spread to her lungs. We held hands and cried as we watched her lying there, so fragile. We didn't think she'd make it through the night. Yet, like Hazel, she regained her strength. She lived for two more beautiful and hard years — until just after her 16th birthday, in August 2010.
Author John Green showed respect for Esther at the beginning of his book. “I could never have written The Fault in Our Stars without knowing Esther. Every word in that book depends on her,” Green wrote.
I'm not sure what Esther would have thought of it. But watching the movie, I couldn't help feeling I was seeing my little sister on the screen. After a doctor offers a new machine, Hazel interrupts, “Why? I like the old machine.” My sister could be similarly playful. “This oxygen machine is cool, and I like it. I name it Denmark,” she said in one video.
However, Hazel is not supposed to be Esther. The Fault in Our Stars is a love story between two teenagers. My sister never got to have a relationship like that. Witnessing a life and a romance (浪漫故事) she could have had made me feel unbearably sad and yet, strangely, uplifted. It's as if,through Hazel, my sister is able to continue having new experiences. As if she got a sequel (续集).
5.The movie reminded the author of ________.
A.her 16th birthday
B.her happy family life
C.her sister suffering from cancer
D.her father encouraging her sister
6.Which of the following can be used to describe Esther?
A.Funny. B.Smart.
C.Rude. D.Impatient.
7.The author feels pity for her sister because ________.
A.she never read a love story
B.she couldn't watch the movie
C.she died young, at the age of 14
D.she never had a romantic relationship

The English have a difficult and, generally speaking, dysfunctional (反常的) relationship with clothes. Their main problem is that they have a desperate need for rules, and are unable to get along without them. This helps to explain why they have an international reputation for dressing in general very badly, but with specific areas of excellence, such as high?class men's suits, ceremonial costumes, and innovative (革新的) street fashion. In other words, we English dress best when we are “in uniform”.
You may be surprised that I am including “innovative street fashion” in the category of the uniform. Surely the parrot?haired punks (朋克摇滚乐迷) or the Victorian vampire goths are being original, not following rules? It's true that they all look different and eccentric (古怪的) but in fact they all look eccentric exactly in the same way. They are wearing a uniform. The only truly eccentric dresser in this country is the Queen, who pays no attention to fashion and continues to wear what she likes, a kind of 1950s fashion, with no regard for anyone else's opinion. However, it is true that the styles invented by young English people are much more eccentric than any other nation's street fashion. We may not be individually eccentric, apart from the Queen, but we have a sort of collective eccentricity, and we appreciate originality in dress even if we do not individually have it.
Another “rule” of behavior I had discovered was that it is very important for the English not to take themselves too seriously, to be able to laugh at themselves. However, it is well known that most teenagers tend to take themselves a bit too seriously.
The goths, in their scary black costumes, certainly look as if they are taking themselves seriously. But when I got into conversation with them, I discovered that they too had a sense of humor. I was once chatting to a goth in the full vampire costume — with a white face, deep purple lipstick, and black parrot?hair. I saw he was also wearing a T?shirt with “Goth”. “Why are you wearing that?” I asked. “In case you don't realize I'm a goth,” he answered, pretending to be serious. We both burst out laughing.
12.What can we know about the English people?
A.They need rules to dress well.
B.They are in need of uniforms.
C.They are creative in general.
D.They lead the world trend.
13.Who is individually eccentric in dressing?
A.A high?class man.
B.A parrot?haired punk.
C.The Queen.
D.The fashion innovator.
14.Which of the following can best describe the goths?
A.They dress badly.
B.They dress in an amusing way.
C.They are unable to laugh at the way they dress.
D.They are less fashionable than the other English people.
15.What may be the best title for the text?
A.How the English Dress
B.How the English Admire Fashion
C.Why the English Like Uniforms
D.Why the English Are Eccentric in Dress

第三节 短文改错(共10处错误,每处错误1分,满分10分)
Dear Lisa,
I'm glad to receive your letter asked about the present holiday life of Chinese students. Learning together with entertainment still take up most of our time. Besides, we often help our parents with the housework or farm work, that makes us realize how hard we work every day and develop a great love for work. Meanwhile, we take active part in social activities, such as voluntary work. We went out to the streets to collect rubbishes or to the hospitals to cheer up the sick children. We try our best to help those who are in need or make our hometown a lot of more beautiful. We find greatly pleasure in these activities.
Yours,
Li Ming

Dear Mike,
How are you doing? Recently, my schoolmates and I have set up a band named “Starry Skies”. Now I'm writing to invite you to join us.
Our band is made up of a group of young people who are keen on pop music and seek to practice and perform together. We gather at our school music hall to practice from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. every Saturday afternoon. I know that you are an enthusiastic music lover like us and that you are very good at playing the guitar. We really hope that you can be our guitarist. We will surely have some gorgeous music experiences together.
Please feel free to contact me if you are interested. Looking forward to your reply.
