Whatever misfortune you face, just hold up your head and face it with a smile! I got to know this from a musical soul.The other day I was feeling quite 21 , having just been laid off from my job. With so many 22 to pay, I was wondering what was going to happen to my family.I got off the bus when I heard piano music and singing rising above the noise of the 23 . I walked a bit slower, trying to find out where it was coming from. Through the 24 I saw a young lady sitting at a piano with a box next to her.She was singing songs about love and her sweet voice 25 me a bit. Then I stood there watching her playing, thinking that it must take 26 to perform on her own in front of hundre ds of people she didn’t know.She might have felt my 27 for she occasionally looked in my direction.By now I was telling myself that I could at least tell her how good she sounded. I walked 28 and put some money in her box and she expressed her thanks with a smile on her face.I asked her 29 , “Why are you playing the piano in the middle of this crowded place?”She explained to me that she sees so many 30 people in the world that she is trying to relieve the pain by 31 motivational(激励的)music.Instead of continuing my way home, I said to her, “I have been going through a 32 time lately, but you’ve made me 33 again.”“I’m happy that I could be 34 to you,” she replied. “Why are you so sad?”I told her my story and sa id, “I’m not so 35 about what to do….”“You see, here’s the 36 ,” she responded. “When you were walking, your head was down.” She looked me in the eyes and went on, “Don’t look defeated, because 37 comes in different ways and if your head is down you might never see it. You should 38 more … lift your head up.”I was really 39 by what she said! I did hold my head up and soon got through the difficult time.So 40 in trouble, just face it bravely and you are sure to overcome your difficulty sooner or later.21.

This is a good rule to follow when trying to judge the intelligence of others. Some people have minds that shine only in certain situations. A young man with an unusual gift in writing may find himself speechless before a pretty girl. When he wants to speak, he may not be able to find the right words. But don’t make the mistake of thinking him stupid. With a pen and a piece of paper, he can express himself better than anybody else.Other people may fool you into overestimating（过高估计）their intelligence by putting up a good front. A boy who listens attentively and takes notes in class is likely to make a favorite impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, he may score near the bottom of the class.It all boils down to this—you can’t judge people by appearance. The only way to determine a person’s intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can see how he reacts to different situations. The more situations you see, the better your judgment is likely to be. So take your time. Don’t judge a book by its cover.41. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. A good writer may not be a good speaker.B. A good speaker must be a good writer.C. Only a speechless young man can be a good writer.D. Words always fail a good writer when he wants to speak.42. According to the second paragraph, a student who listens attentively and takes notes in class .A. will score worst in examsB. may score best in examsC. may not be an intelligent studentD. isn’t a good student43. The underlined part in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by “”.A. on the other handB. in a wordC. in other wordsD. on the contrary44. The main purpose of this passage is to tell us NOT to .A. judge people by appearanceB. judge a book by its coverC. overestimate a student by his teachers’ impression of himD. judge a person’s intelligence through his reactions to different situationsBIn the past ten years, many scientists have studied the differences between men and women. And they all got the same answer: The sexes are different, because their brains are different. And this, the scientists say, makes men and women see the world in different ways.Boys, for example, generally are better than girls at mathematical ideas. Boys also generally ar e better than girls at the kind of hand and eye movements necessary for ball sports. Girls, on the other hand generally start speaking earlier than boys. And they generally see better in the dark than boys and are better at learning foreign languages.What makes men and women better at one thing or another? The answer is the brain. The brain has two sides connected by nerve (神经) tracks. The left side generally is used for mathematics, speech and writing. The right side is used for artistic creation and the expression for emotions. In men and women, different areas in each side of the brain develop differently. In boys, for example, it’s the area used for mathematics. In girls, it is the area used for language skills. Ano ther interesting difference is that the two sides of a man’s brain are connected by smaller nerves than the two sides of a woman’s brain are.45. Which of the following is the best title of the article?A. Research on the BrainB. People’s Diffe rent BrainsC. Who Are Better, Boys or GirlsD. Differences between Men and Women46.

Men are better than women in all things.B. The area in girls used for language skills develops better.C. The left side of brain in boys generally develops better than that in girls.D. The left side of brain in girls generally develops better than that in boys.CLast year, I took a sightseeing trip to Washington, DC. I heard a voice say, “Can you help me?”When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended. Immediately, I pulled out all of my change and placed it on her hand without even looking at her. But the blind woman smiled and said, “I don’t want your money. I just need help finding the post office.”In an instant, I realized what I had done. I acted with prejudice—I judged another person simply for what I assumed she had to be. I hated what I saw in myself.The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant. I left Honduras and arrived in the US at the age of 15. I started my new life with two suitcases, my brother and sister. Through the years, I have been a doorkeeper, cashier and pizza delivery driver among many other humble (卑微的) jobs, and eventually I became a network engineer.In my own life, I have experienced prejudice. I remember a time—at the age of 17 —when I was a busboy, I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well in school, he would end up like me.But now, living in my American middle—class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget my past, to forget who I am, where I have been, and to lose sight of where I want to be going. That blind woman on the streets cured me of my blindness. She reminded me of my belief in humility (谦虚). By the way, I helped that lady to the post office. I hope to thank her for the priceless lesson.49. How did the writer give the blind woman money?A. In a modest way.B. In a polite way.C. In an impatient way.D. In a painful way.50. According to the text, the writer________.A. still lives a poor lifeB. was busy with his workC. was born in HondurasD. was a native of Washington D.C.51.

What would be the best title of the text?A. A priceless lessonB. An act of prejudiceC. A sightseeing tripD. A humble momentDIt is Saturday afternoon. You and your friends are planning to go to the movies and then spend the night together. Just as you start to get ready, your dad reminds you it is your aunt’s birthday and the whole family is going out to dinner to celebrate. How can this possibly end without a huge argument?One of the greatest sources of tension (紧张) between teenagers and their families is the struggle to balance personal desires with family expectations. As you are getting older, you are becoming more independent and more interested in being with your friends. However, at the same time, your family is trying to figure out how to deal with these changes. While you once spent most of your free time with your family, you are now often absent from home. Parents may get their feelings hurt. Or they might feel that they are losing control of their family during this period. You might feel angry that so many family demands are placed on you.There are a few things you can try to make it a little easier to ease the tension.﹡Make your plans in advance. Ask your parents if there is anything else planned at that time.﹡When something with your friends interferes (干涉；冲突) with a family event, try to figure out if there is any way you can do both.﹡Suggest something you would really like to do with your family. Sometimes parents feel better just knowing their teenager wants to spend time with them.Some of the time you won’t be happy with the outcome. You might either have to disappoint your parents or have to miss out being with your friends. However, if you show consideration for the feelings of both your family and your friends, you can solve the problem in a tender way.53.

Tell your parents before you decide to spend time with your friends.D. Advise your parents to do something that you are interested in with you.56. What’s the purpose of the passage?A. To inform us of parent and teenager tension.B. To tell us about a common teenager problem.C. To persuade parents to show consideration for teenagers.D. To advise teenagers how to deal with their tension (紧张) with their family.第二节：根据57—60的选择要求，从A、B、C、D、E中分别选出与各小题最匹配的信息，并标在试卷的相应位置。
