“You will never walk again. You will have to use a wheelchair. ” I heard his 36 fall heavily on my ears, numbing my soul. If I had never felt hopeless before, I felt hopeless then.
The car accident had left me unconscious. When 37 , I found both legs in casts (石膏). While I had other serious injuries, my 38 were my first concern. Working as a special needs teacher and busy and active by nature, I couldn’t imagine being 39 in a wheelchair.
Lying in my bed, I wondered how I 40 give my ten-year-old son hope that mom would 41 . He’d been cheerful on every visit, but I saw 42 in his eyes. He needed the ray of hope that I would not be in a wheelchair forever.
Just maybe, I thought, I could use this experience to teach him what to do when 43 strikes.
It didn’t take me long to become impatient with my limited movements and even with the pace (进度) the doctors were willing to go with me. I was 44 to learn everything they showed me.
Every night in my private room, as soon as I knew I wouldn’t be 45 or discovered, I would move myself from the bed to the floor, 46 on to the bed rail (床栏杆) for dear life, and slowly putting my weight 47 my feet. After several weeks of such difficult 48 , my strength and confidence continued to 49 .
The time came to share my achievements with the person most 50 to me. One night, when I heard my 51 greet the nurses at the station, I dragged (拖，拉) myself up. As he opened the door, I took a few small steps. 52 , he could only watch as I turned and started back to bed. All of the pain, the fear, and the struggle 53 as I heard the words I had longed to hear, “Mommy, you can walk!”
I am now able to walk alone, sometimes using a stick. I am able to take public transportation to shop and visit friends. My life has been blessed with (有幸得到) many 54 of which I am proud. But none has ever brought me the satisfaction and joy 55 by those four little words of my son.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40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
After a year in America, I have learned some interesting American expressions. Many people believe that money makes the world go around. I do not agree with the idea. But I do admit that money can make people do strange things. Let me tell you about a person I once knew who liked to gamble(赌博).
My friend Bob had a problem because he liked to gamble at all costs. He would play at any time and at any price. Sometimes my friend would clean up. He would win a lot of money on one card game. Other times my friend would simply break even. He neither won nor lost money. But sometimes Bob would lose his shirt. When this happened, my friend would have to go into debt and owe people money.
Recently, Bob turned to crime after losing all his money. In his job, he kept the books for a small business. He supervised (监管) the records of money earned and spent by the company. Although my friend was usually honest, he decided to cook the books. He illegally changed the financial records of the company. This permitted him to make a fast buck – he made some quick, easy money dishonestly.
Bob used the money he stole from his company to gamble again. Quickly he was back on his feet, returning to good financial health. His company, however, ended up in the red, owing lots of money.
It did not take long before his dishonesty was discovered. The company investigated and charged him with stealing. He ended up in jail. Today, I would bet my bottom dollar that my friend will never gamble again. I would bet all I have that he learned his lesson from gambling.
When a person will “lose his shirt” (para. 2) in gambling, we mean that ________.
A. he will win all the money to the gambling table
B. he will neither win nor lose money
C. he decides to give up gambling
D. he will lose all his money
If a company doesn’t run well, it will ________.
A. be back on its feet B. end up in the red
C. make a fast buck D. break even
What job does Bob do
A. A salesman. B. A typist.
C. An accountant. D. A secretary.
What is the purpose of the passage
A. To talk about the danger of gambling.
B. To explain some American expressions related to money.
C. To prove that money can make people do strange things.
D. To explain the writer’s attitude towards money.

It Tastes Just Like Chicken
Away from home, eating is more than just a way to keep your stomach full. It is a language all its own, and no words can say, “Glad to meet you … glad to be doing business with you ...” quite like sharing a meal offered by your host.
Clearly, mealtime is not the time for you to say, “Thanks, but no.” Acceptance of the food on your plate means acceptance of the host, the country, and the company. So, no matter how difficult it may be to swallow (吞咽), swallow. Or, as one experienced traveler says, “Travel with a cast-iron (铸铁的) stomach and eat everything everywhere.”
Often, the food offered represents proudly your host country’s eating culture. What would Americans think of a French person who refused to take a bite of homemade apple pie or sirloin Our discomfort comes not so much from the thing itself; it comes from our unfamiliarity (不熟悉) with it. After all, an oyster has remarkably the same look as a sheep’s eye; and a first look at a lobster would remind almost anybody of a creature from a science fiction movie, not something you dip in butter and eat. By the way, in Saudi Arabia sheep’s eyes are a famous dish and in parts of China it’s pig’s tails.
Can you refuse such food without being rude Most experienced business travelers say no, at least not before taking at least a few bites. It helps, though, to slice (切) any item very thin. This way, you minimize (最小化) the taste and the reminder of where it came from. Or, “Swallow it quickly,” as one traveler recommends. “I still can’t tell you what sheep’s eyeballs taste like.” As for dealing with taste, the old line that “it tastes just like chicken” is often thankfully true. Even when the “it” is really rat or snake.
Another useful piece of advice is not knowing what you are eating. What’s for dinner Don’t ask. Avoid glancing into the kitchen or looking at English-language menus. Your host will be pleased that you are eating the food he offers, and who knows Maybe it really is chicken in that soup.
The purpose of the article is to ____________.
A. introduce unfamiliar food
B. share the writer’s personal experiences
C. suggest ways to overcome a cultural barrier (障碍)
D. advise on how to politely refuse to eat foreign food
According to the writer, people hesitate (犹豫) at strange food mainly due to ____________.
A. the way it looks B. safety worries
C. not knowing much about it D. the unfamiliar atmosphere
From the article we can infer that ____________.
A. an American may feel comfortable with apple pie
B. one should refuse strange food after a few bites
C. English-language menus are not always dependable
D. one needs a cast-iron stomach to travel in other cultures
One may say “It tastes just like chicken.” when ____________.
A. showing respect for chicken-loving nations
B. greeting people with different dieting habits
C. judging chefs at an international food festival
D. getting someone to try an unpleasant meal
D
We tell ourselves that life will be better once we are married, have a baby, then another. Then we get frustrated（沮丧的）because our children are not old enough and that all will be well when they are older. Then we are frustrated because they reach teenage years and we must deal with them. Surely we'll be happier when they grow out of the teen years.
We tell ourselves our life will be better when our spouse (配偶) gets his/her act together, when we have a nicer car, when we can take a vacation, when we finally retire. The truth is that there is no better time to be happy than right now. If not, then when Your life will always be full of challenges. It is better to admit as much and to decide to be happy in spite of it all.
For the longest time, it seemed that life was about to start—real life.
But there were always some obstacles (挫折) along the way, an ordeal (苦难) to get through, some work to be finished, some time to be given, a bill to be paid. Then life would start. It finally occurred to me that that those obstacles were part of life. Little by little, that point of view also helped me see that there isn't any road to happiness.
Happiness is the road. So, enjoy every moment. And keep in mind that __________. So stop waiting for school to end, for a return to school, to lose ten pounds, to gain ten pounds, for work to begin, to get married, for Friday evening, for Sunday morning, waiting for a new car, for your mortgage (借款) to be paid off, for spring, for summer, for fall, for winter, for the first or the fifteenth of the month, for your song to be played on the radio, to die, to be reborn… before deciding to be happy.
Happiness is a voyage, not a destination. There is no better time to be happy than… NOW! Live and enjoy the moment!
The most proper title for the passage should be______.
A. Happiness is a Challenge B. Happiness is a Destination
C. Happiness is a Dream D. Happiness is a Process
The first two paragraphs mainly tell us_______.
A. life is a worthwhile but challenging voyage
B. so long as you believe you can, you can
C. people often think the future will be better than now
D. people feel confused about their life

C. finding our own shortcut to success D. facing obstacles and challenges bravely
Which of the sayings can fill in the blank in the fourth paragraph
A. Time waits for no one B. Time is money.
C. Tomorrow is another day. D. Time can work wonders.
E
When an emergency (紧急) situation occurs, observers are more likely to take action if there are few or no other witnesses (目击者). This phenomenon (现象) is referred to as the “bystander effect”.
The bystander effect is also called the “Genovese effect”, which is named after Catherine Genovese, a young woman who was cruelly murdered on March 13, 1964. Early in the morning, 28-year-old Genovese was returning home from work. As she approached her apartment entrance, she was attacked and stabbed (刺) by a man later identified as Winston Moseley. Despite Genovese’s repeated cries for help, none of the dozen or so people in the nearby apartment building who heard her cries called police for help. The attack first began at 3:20, but it was not until 3:50 that someone first contacted police.
Many psychologists were set thinking by the incident, as well as most Americans. As the conclusion, the bystander effect came out and later proved by a series of studies and experiments.
There are two major factors that contribute to the bystander effect. First, the presence of other people creates a division (分散) of responsibility. Because there are other observers, individuals do not feel as much pressure to take action, since the responsibility to take action is thought to be shared among all of those present. The second reason is the need to behave in correct and socially acceptable ways. When other observers fail to react, individuals often take this as a signal that a response is not needed or not proper.
Other researchers have found that onlookers are less likely to take action if the situation is uncertain. In the case of Genovese, many of the 38 witnesses reported that they believed they were witnessing a “lovers’quarrel”, and did not realize that the young woman was actually being murdered.
The bystander effect is also called the “Genovese effect” because .
A. it somehow caused the murder of a woman named Genovese
B. its discovery resulted from the murder of a woman named Genovese
C. it was actually discovered by a woman named Genovese
D. it always makes people think of a woman named Genovese
Which could NOT be a reason for the neighbors standing by instead of offering Genovese help
A. They believed in the bystander effect.
B. They thought someone else might help her.
C. They didn't think they should help.
D. They didn't think she needed help.
Before deciding to offer help, observers may , according to the psychologists.
A. wait for sort of a signal
B. consider the risk of getting hurt
C. want to be sure it’s proper to react
D. wonder if the victim is worth helping
The article seems to suggest that, if there had been observers, Genovese might not have been murdered.
A. no B. fewer C. more D. braver

“You will never walk again. You will have to use a wheelchair. ” I heard his 36 fall heavily on my ears, numbing my soul. If I had never felt hopeless before, I felt hopeless then.
The car accident had left me unconscious. When 37 , I found both legs in casts (石膏). While I had other serious injuries, my 38 were my first concern. Working as a special needs teacher and busy and active by nature, I couldn’t imagine being 39 in a wheelchair.
Lying in my bed, I wondered how I 40 give my ten-year-old son hope that mom would 41 . He’d been cheerful on every visit, but I saw 42 in his eyes. He needed the ray of hope that I would not be in a wheelchair forever.
Just maybe, I thought, I could use this experience to teach him what to do when 43 strikes.
It didn’t take me long to become impatient with my limited movements and even with the pace (进度) the doctors were willing to go with me. I was 44 to learn everything they showed me.
Every night in my private room, as soon as I knew I wouldn’t be 45 or discovered, I would move myself from the bed to the floor, 46 on to the bed rail (床栏杆) for dear life, and slowly putting my weight 47 my feet. After several weeks of such difficult 48 , my strength and confidence continued to 49 .
The time came to share my achievements with the person most 50 to me. One night, when I heard my 51 greet the nurses at the station, I dragged (拖，拉) myself up. As he opened the door, I took a few small steps. 52 , he could only watch as I turned and started back to bed. All of the pain, the fear, and the struggle 53 as I heard the words I had longed to hear, “Mommy, you can walk!”
I am now able to walk alone, sometimes using a stick. I am able to take public transportation to shop and visit friends. My life has been blessed with (有幸得到) many 54 of which I am proud. But none has ever brought me the satisfaction and joy 55 by those four little words of my son.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40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
After a year in America, I have learned some interesting American expressions. Many people believe that money makes the world go around. I do not agree with the idea. But I do admit that money can make people do strange things. Let me tell you about a person I once knew who liked to gamble(赌博).
My friend Bob had a problem because he liked to gamble at all costs. He would play at any time and at any price. Sometimes my friend would clean up. He would win a lot of money on one card game. Other times my friend would simply break even. He neither won nor lost money. But sometimes Bob would lose his shirt. When this happened, my friend would have to go into debt and owe people money.
Recently, Bob turned to crime after losing all his money. In his job, he kept the books for a small business. He supervised (监管) the records of money earned and spent by the company. Although my friend was usually honest, he decided to cook the books. He illegally changed the financial records of the company. This permitted him to make a fast buck – he made some quick, easy money dishonestly.
Bob used the money he stole from his company to gamble again. Quickly he was back on his feet, returning to good financial health. His company, however, ended up in the red, owing lots of money.
It did not take long before his dishonesty was discovered. The company investigated and charged him with stealing. He ended up in jail. Today, I would bet my bottom dollar that my friend will never gamble again. I would bet all I have that he learned his lesson from gambling.
When a person will “lose his shirt” (para. 2) in gambling, we mean that ________.
A. he will win all the money to the gambling table
B. he will neither win nor lose money
C. he decides to give up gambling
D. he will lose all his money
If a company doesn’t run well, it will ________.
A. be back on its feet B. end up in the red
C. make a fast buck D. break even
What job does Bob do
A. A salesman. B. A typist.
C. An accountant. D. A secretary.
What is the purpose of the passage
A. To talk about the danger of gambling.
B. To explain some American expressions related to money.
C. To prove that money can make people do strange things.
D. To explain the writer’s attitude towards money.

It Tastes Just Like Chicken
Away from home, eating is more than just a way to keep your stomach full. It is a language all its own, and no words can say, “Glad to meet you … glad to be doing business with you ...” quite like sharing a meal offered by your host.
Clearly, mealtime is not the time for you to say, “Thanks, but no.” Acceptance of the food on your plate means acceptance of the host, the country, and the company. So, no matter how difficult it may be to swallow (吞咽), swallow. Or, as one experienced traveler says, “Travel with a cast-iron (铸铁的) stomach and eat everything everywhere.”
Often, the food offered represents proudly your host country’s eating culture. What would Americans think of a French person who refused to take a bite of homemade apple pie or sirloin Our discomfort comes not so much from the thing itself; it comes from our unfamiliarity (不熟悉) with it. After all, an oyster has remarkably the same look as a sheep’s eye; and a first look at a lobster would remind almost anybody of a creature from a science fiction movie, not something you dip in butter and eat. By the way, in Saudi Arabia sheep’s eyes are a famous dish and in parts of China it’s pig’s tails.
Can you refuse such food without being rude Most experienced business travelers say no, at least not before taking at least a few bites. It helps, though, to slice (切) any item very thin. This way, you minimize (最小化) the taste and the reminder of where it came from. Or, “Swallow it quickly,” as one traveler recommends. “I still can’t tell you what sheep’s eyeballs taste like.” As for dealing with taste, the old line that “it tastes just like chicken” is often thankfully true. Even when the “it” is really rat or snake.
Another useful piece of advice is not knowing what you are eating. What’s for dinner Don’t ask. Avoid glancing into the kitchen or looking at English-language menus. Your host will be pleased that you are eating the food he offers, and who knows Maybe it really is chicken in that soup.
The purpose of the article is to ____________.
A. introduce unfamiliar food
B. share the writer’s personal experiences
C. suggest ways to overcome a cultural barrier (障碍)
D. advise on how to politely refuse to eat foreign food
According to the writer, people hesitate (犹豫) at strange food mainly due to ____________.
A. the way it looks B. safety worries
C. not knowing much about it D. the unfamiliar atmosphere
From the article we can infer that ____________.
A. an American may feel comfortable with apple pie
B. one should refuse strange food after a few bites
C. English-language menus are not always dependable
D. one needs a cast-iron stomach to travel in other cultures
One may say “It tastes just like chicken.” when ____________.
A. showing respect for chicken-loving nations
B. greeting people with different dieting habits
C. judging chefs at an international food festival
D. getting someone to try an unpleasant meal
D
We tell ourselves that life will be better once we are married, have a baby, then another. Then we get frustrated（沮丧的）because our children are not old enough and that all will be well when they are older. Then we are frustrated because they reach teenage years and we must deal with them. Surely we'll be happier when they grow out of the teen years.
We tell ourselves our life will be better when our spouse (配偶) gets his/her act together, when we have a nicer car, when we can take a vacation, when we finally retire. The truth is that there is no better time to be happy than right now. If not, then when Your life will always be full of challenges. It is better to admit as much and to decide to be happy in spite of it all.
For the longest time, it seemed that life was about to start—real life.
But there were always some obstacles (挫折) along the way, an ordeal (苦难) to get through, some work to be finished, some time to be given, a bill to be paid. Then life would start. It finally occurred to me that that those obstacles were part of life. Little by little, that point of view also helped me see that there isn't any road to happiness.
Happiness is the road. So, enjoy every moment. And keep in mind that __________. So stop waiting for school to end, for a return to school, to lose ten pounds, to gain ten pounds, for work to begin, to get married, for Friday evening, for Sunday morning, waiting for a new car, for your mortgage (借款) to be paid off, for spring, for summer, for fall, for winter, for the first or the fifteenth of the month, for your song to be played on the radio, to die, to be reborn… before deciding to be happy.
Happiness is a voyage, not a destination. There is no better time to be happy than… NOW! Live and enjoy the moment!
The most proper title for the passage should be______.
A. Happiness is a Challenge B. Happiness is a Destination
C. Happiness is a Dream D. Happiness is a Process
The first two paragraphs mainly tell us_______.
A. life is a worthwhile but challenging voyage
B. so long as you believe you can, you can
C. people often think the future will be better than now
D. people feel confused about their life
The writer thinks _______is a real happiness
A. setting our imagination free B. enjoying our present life
C. finding our own shortcut to success D. facing obstacles and challenges bravely
Which of the sayings can fill in the blank in the fourth paragraph
A. Time waits for no one B. Time is money.
C. Tomorrow is another day. D. Time can work wonders.
E
When an emergency (紧急) situation occurs, observers are more likely to take action if there are few or no other witnesses (目击者). This phenomenon (现象) is referred to as the “bystander effect”.
The bystander effect is also called the “Genovese effect”, which is named after Catherine Genovese, a young woman who was cruelly murdered on March 13, 1964. Early in the morning, 28-year-old Genovese was returning home from work. As she approached her apartment entrance, she was attacked and stabbed (刺) by a man later identified as Winston Moseley. Despite Genovese’s repeated cries for help, none of the dozen or so people in the nearby apartment building who heard her cries called police for help. The attack first began at 3:20, but it was not until 3:50 that someone first contacted police.
Many psychologists were set thinking by the incident, as well as most Americans. As the conclusion, the bystander effect came out and later proved by a series of studies and experiments.
There are two major factors that contribute to the bystander effect. First, the presence of other people creates a division (分散) of responsibility. Because there are other observers, individuals do not feel as much pressure to take action, since the responsibility to take action is thought to be shared among all of those present. The second reason is the need to behave in correct and socially acceptable ways. When other observers fail to react, individuals often take this as a signal that a response is not needed or not proper.
Other researchers have found that onlookers are less likely to take action if the situation is uncertain. In the case of Genovese, many of the 38 witnesses reported that they believed they were witnessing a “lovers’quarrel”, and did not realize that the young woman was actually being murdered.
The bystander effect is also called the “Genovese effect” because .
A. it somehow caused the murder of a woman named Genovese
B. its discovery resulted from the murder of a woman named Genovese
C. it was actually discovered by a woman named Genovese
D. it always makes people think of a woman named Genovese
Which could NOT be a reason for the neighbors standing by instead of offering Genovese help
A. They believed in the bystander effect.
B. They thought someone else might help her.
C. They didn't think they should help.
D. They didn't think she needed help.
Before deciding to offer help, observers may , according to the psychologists.
A. wait for sort of a signal
B. consider the risk of getting hurt
C. want to be sure it’s proper to react
D. wonder if the victim is worth helping
The article seems to suggest that, if there had been observers, Genovese might not have been murdered.
A. no B. fewer C. more D. braver
