第三部分:阅读理解(共两小节,满分40分)
第一节:(共15小题; 每小题2分, 满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
My friend must be the wisest woman on this planet, for she has lived up to the three words “Seize the moment”. Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven’t thought about it, or because they are unwilling to try something new.
My sister died a few years ago. We never did have lunch together. I can’t remember how many times I was refused when I called her to go to lunch. She would say to me: “I can’t, my brother. I have clothes on the line.” “My hair is dirty. I wish I had known yesterday.” “I had a late breakfast.” “It looks like rain.” Only after her death did I choose to be a little more flexible(灵活的).
Life is not made up of things that you do at a particular time, but it demands variety and adventure. As we grow older, the list of promises made to ourselves may get longer. Perhaps one morning, when we wake up, we will find to our surprise that our life is full of “I’m going to”, “I plan to” and “Someday, when things are settled down a bit.”
My seize the-moment friend is open to adventure and ready at any moment to make a new start. She keeps an open mind about new ideas. Her great interest in life is contagious. With her around you, you may trade your bad feet for good shoes.
I have not touched ice cream for 10 years. The other day, I stopped off and bought a triple-decker(三层冰淇淋). If my car had hit an iceberg(冰山) on the way home, I would have died happy.
56.The passage suggests that the author’s sister _________________.
A.was very busy with her work B.died a very happy person
C.always did things in a fixed order D.was the wisest woman in the world
57.The writer has had a new way of looking at life since ___________.
A.his sister died B.he met the wise woman
C.he turned old D.the three words appeared
58.The underlined word “contagious” is used to show that the woman is_______.
A.polite B.influential C.practical D.proud
59.The author expects those who have read the passage to ___________.
A.have a long list of promises B.be a smart businessman
C.hit an iceberg in their cars D.be as adventurous as himself
B
“The first and best of victories is for a man to conquer himself; to be conquered by himself is, of all things, the most shameful,” says Plato. Self-control is at the root of all the advantages. Let a man give in to his impulses (冲动) and feelings, and from that moment he gives up his moral (道德上的) freedom.
A single angry word has lost many a friend. When Socrates found in himself any temper or anger, he would check it by speaking low in order to control himself. If you are conscious of being angry, keep your mouth shut so that you can hold back rising anger. Many a person has dropped dead in great anger. Fits of anger bring fits of disease. “Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad.” “Keep cool”, says George Herbert, “for fierceness (狂怒) makes error a fault.”
To be angry with a weak man is to prove that you are not strong yourself. “Anger,” says Pythagoras, “brings with folly(愚蠢) and ends with regret.” You must measure the strength of a man by the power of the feelings he conquers, not by the power of those which conquer him.
Self-control is man’s last greatest victory.
If a man lacks self-control he seems to lack everything. Without it he can have no patience, no power to govern himself; he can have no self-confidence, for he will always be controlled by his strongest feeling. If he lacks self-control, the very backbone and nerve of character are lacking also.
60. What does the reader learn from the first paragraph
A. The greatest victory for a man is to conquer everything except himself.
B. One’s moral freedom is based on the control of himself.
C. To control oneself is the most difficult in one’s life.
D. If a person is too stubborn, he will feel most shameful.
61. If a man lacks self-control, he lacks all of the following EXCEPT _______.
A. the very backbone and nerve of character
B. strong feelings
C. the patience and power to control himself
D. self-confidence
62. What’s the best title of this passage
A. Victories of conquering oneself. B. Moral freedom.
C. Self-control D. Advantages of self-control.

A popular saying going,"Sticks and stone may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." However,that's not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn't matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves--the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.
We all talk to ourselves sometimes.we are usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. But we really shouldn't be, because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.
This "self-talk" helps us motive ourselves, remember things,solves problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project , do well on a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying,"Good job"!
Often, words came out of our mouths without us thinking about the effects they will have; but we should be aware that our words cause certain responses to others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. Or we can use harsh, critical language, which will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.
Words possess power because of their lasting effects. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us ! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: "Is it true Is it loving Is it needed " If what we want to say doesn't pass this test,then it is better left unsaid.
Words possess ower: both positive ad negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem and motive others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal The choice is ours.
The author argues in the first paragraph that _____.
A. words has lasting effects on us.
B. words will never hurt us at all.
C.positive effects last longer than negative effects.
D.negative words may let us down.
Why should we not feel embarrassed when it comes to talking to ourselves
A. Almost everybody has the habit of talking to oneself.
B. Talking to ourselves is believed to be good for our health.
C. Talking to ourselves helps us to solve all the problems.
D. It does harm to have "self-talk" when we are alone.
The underlined phrase "give ourselves a pat on the back "in paragraph 3 means ____.
A. blame ourselves B. punish ourselves
C. praise ourselves D.talk to ourselves
70. Which of the following statements would the author agree to
A. Unkind words are more unlikely to be forgotten.
B. It is better to think twice before talking to others.
C. Words always posses long positive effects.
D. Kind words are sometimes not needed at all.

Choosing the right job is probably one of the most important decisions we have to make in life,and it is frequently one of the hardest decisions we have to make. One important question that you might ask yourself is :"How can I get a good job " 71
There are people who can answer an insignificant advertisement in the local newspaper and land the best job in the world; others write to all sorts of places all over the country.and never seem to get a reply at all. Still others believe that the in person door-to-door approach is by far the best way to get a job; and then there are those who, through no active decision of their own, just seem to be in the right place at the right time. 72 He used to spend a lot of his free time down by the sea watching the tall ships, but never thinking that he might one day sail one of them. His father was a farmer, and being a sailor could never be anything for the boy but an idle dream. One day, on his usual wandering , he heard the captain of the ship complaining that he could not sail because one member of his crew was sick. Without stoping to think, the lad(少年) offered to take his place. 73
74 If the lad had gone home to ponder(考虑) his decision for a week, he may have missed his chance. It is one thing to be offered an opportunity; it is another thing to take it and use it well.
Sometimes we hear stories about people who break all the rules and still seem to land plum jobs(美差). When you go for a job interview or fill out an application, you are expected to say nice things about the company to which you are applying. 75 And within a year this person had become general manger of the company.
This story also illustrates the importance of seizing an opportunity when it presents itself.
People find jobs in an infinite number of ways.
It's almost impossible to find a good job by answering advertisement in newspapers.
Take for example the young man who wanted to be a sailor.
But there was one person who landed an excellent job by telling the interviewer all the company's faults.
He spent the rest of his life happily sailing the ships he had always loved.
It is very important to seize an opportunity when it presents itself.

写作:Happiness
Happiness means different things to different people. For example, some students believe that if they have a lot of money they will be happy, because they think they will be able to do anything they want to do and buy anything they want with the money. Some students think that they should be in good health so that they can enjoy their life better. Many students wish to have much wealth from their parents. In this way they don’t have to work hard, and they can own everything.
I don’t really agree with the points above. I don’t think money means happiness. We can’t buy many important things with money, such as health, happiness, and knowledge. I value knowledge, which makes me happy, for I can do much for mankind with knowledge.
Although different people value happiness differently, my “wealth” of happiness is in my study.
