It was hot, but the air was still and wet. One final play and the State Softball Championship was ours.I looked towards people who were watching the game. Sure enough, I found my mom. I always wished my dad were here. The farm needed his full attention, but I did not care.Finally, we won! State Champs! I let out a scream of happiness, fall of tears. My mom made a “V” to celebrate my success and smiled. I smiled back at her.We all received medals (奖牌), but I cannot remember any of it. I concentrated my thoughts on my dad, I ran to my mom，asking for her cell phone. I had to tell my dad about the happiest dayof my life，and complained (抱怨）about how he did not care.The phone rang twice, and no one answered. My heart sank with sadness, but I tried again anyway.“Hello?” My dad answered.“Dad!” I cried. “We won State!” Silence.“Dad?” I could hear something on the other end. “Are you—crying?”“I’m ju st really happy for you, Meggie，” he said. “And I’m sorry I couldn’t be there.”An apology（抱歉）was all I needed. I hung up the phone feeling relaxed, and I began to understand how it must feel to be a father. I forgave him for never being there. He worked so I could play. My father loved me enough to let me experience life's happiest moments without him.21.Meggie's father didn't go to watch her game because .A. Meggie did not care about his being thereB. Meggie's mother took his place to be thereC. the game wasn't so important to her fatherD. he had a full schedule to work on the farm22.The purpose of Meggie calling her father was to .A. express her angerB. show off her medalsC. get her father's praiseD. share her joy of success23.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Meggie would thank her father for all he did for her.B. Meggie could spend more time doing the farm work.C. Meggie would apologize for being rude to her father.D. Meggie could enjoy every moment without her father.24.What can be the best title for the text?A. My final gameB. A father’s loveC. My growing painD. A father's farmBMe: Hello Dad! I’ve an exam today.He: All the best son! I’m getting a strong feeling. You’ll rock it today. May god bless you!Me: Thank you dad. Bye! And I hang up the call.My friend standing beside me chuckles, “Do you do this before every exam?” I answer, “Yes, I feel good and encouraged, and so do they.” It hardly takes a minute to call up yo ur parents, but it gives a lot of confidence and makes their day too.Not calling up parents is indeed a common mistake college students make. For me the most common mistake is treating it like school. When I went to university, most of the people around me came straight from school. They had the thought like children who were being forced to do something. They skipped classes, sat at the back talking during lectures and even didn’t do the reading! They were still in “school” mode, thinking that the point w as to get through it with the least effort.For my part, I was there after working in a beer factory for three years. I knew that I had gone to university because I wanted to learn. I wasn’t there because my teachers at school made me go, or my parents made me go, or because my friends were all going. I had chosen to go. I think that this put me in a different mind. I read all the set texts and I went to all the lectures and seminars. Don’t get me wrong. I had fun too, but I was there to learn and I lear nt a lot. I enjoyed it and itwas rewarding to learn about the authors, their works, the critic's opinions etc.The kids around me thought that reading six novels for a module and going to a lecture for each novel was too much work. They would read one novel, go to the lecture for that one and write their essay on that one book. They thought that they were really clever to work out an easier way of doing it. But they were tricking themselves out of an education!There are other mistakes that may cause future regrets for the college students. A large number of them focus too hard on getting good grades, showing no interest in out-of-class side projects. Some complain that they are too busy because of school. As a matter of fact, they do not seriously treat all the free resources that universities have to offer.25.The writer begins the passage with a dialogue in order to __________.A. show off his writing skillsB. expect his friend to admire himC. lead in the topic naturallyD. show he likes making phone calls26.What do most university students usually do in the opinion of the writer?A.

They highly praise independent learning.27.Why did the writer want to go to college?A. Because his parents forced him to.B. Because he learned from his friend.C. Because his teachers asked him to.D. Because he was dying for knowledge.28.What do the underlined sentences in Paragraph 5 mean?A. They lost their learning chances without noticing it.B. They made up excuses for their laziness in learning.C. They often pretended to be working hard at everything.D. They told lies about what they were doing in college.29.According to the passage, college students are supposed to __________.A. stop being hard on themselves academicallyB. make the most of the university they go to.C. have some relaxation after taking classesD. feel thankful for what they are doing nowCWhen I was eight, I got my first pair of glasses. Far from being made fun of at school, the only struggle I got was endless requests to try on my new glasses. Hearing about what happened at school, my father once looked at me and asked whether I had pretended to be the blindness just to look like Harry Potter?With my strange hair and glasses, I did nothing to avoid it, either. The Harry Potter books were the great pop cultural event of my generation, who began reading again. My school librarian, both confused and annoyed by us Potter fans, dealt with fights over the schools few old copies by setting a new rule: Harry Potter could be borrowed for only three days, instead of the whole week of borrowing period every other title was allowed.In the 20 years since the first book arrived on shelves, publishers and parents have been asking what has made J.K. Rowling's books so loved. It is better to look at the influence they have had on their readers. Yes, the books were about a boy taking on a dark and powerful enemy in themagical world, but they were also about love defeating hate, determination and choosing" between what is easy and what is right". Rowling’s entire magical characters were all people we want to be.I grew up with Harry and together we became children with our own opinions, teens easy to get angry and young adults thinking of everything as normal. When the final book came out in 2007.I read it for 12 hours without a break and cried as I finished it. I felt something sad: the end of Harry’s story signaled the end of my childhood. I was suddenly aimless. Meanwhile, my now Potter-mad father walked impatiently nearby, waiting for the proper moment to take the book away from his daughter.Harry Potter did shape my generation. As a girl who grew up mostly in peacetime, many of the ideas I found in these books were ones we had never come across before. The magical world’s terrible treatment of non-human beings was the first description of slavery I knew. The treatment of Harry’s teacher Remus Lupin, who hide s his condition at work, is a metaphor(比喻) for the shame surrounding those who suffer from AIDS. And all settings like this may have real-world reflections .A study found that teenage Harry Potter readers showed more tolerance (包容) towards those who were suffering. Is it possible that Jeremy Corbyn's popularity among the young had anything to do with their literary education? Is it possible that Harry Potter, in the 20 years he has been with us, has inspired a generation to be more empathetic（感同身受），welcoming and socially open－minded than those before it? We will see If not, at least my glasses are still cool.30.Paragraph 1 is intended to show_____.A. the authors sufferings caused by the glassesB. the author s close relations with other studentsC. the misunderstanding between the author and her fatherD. the popularity of Harry Porter among students31.How did the school librarian stop the fights between Potter fans?A. By preventing Potter fans borrowing Harry Potter many timesB. By selling the Harry Porter books in the library.C. By creating a new rule for Harry Potter’s borrowing period.D. By buying more Harry Potter books for the library.32.What can we learn about the Harry Potter books from Paragraph 3?A. The book has been the most popular one among all the books for twenty years.B. It is the story of revenge(复仇)in the magical world that makes the book popular.C. Readers are crazy about the book because it has taught them how to love and make wise choices.D. The book has had such great influence on the readers that they all want to be magical persons.33.Why did the author cry when she read Harry Potter that came out in 2007?A. Because she suddenly found that she was too old to read Harry Potter.B. Because her father was for a chance to take her book away.C. Because she had no plan for what to do after her childhood ended.D. Because she was too sad to know the 2007 book was the last Harry Potter book.34.The underlined word "signaled "in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _____.A. describedB. createdC. changedD. marked35.What's the last paragraph mainly about?A. Harry Potter has great effects on the author's generation.B. The characters in Harry Porter were created through great imagination.C. Compared with other people, Harry Potter readers are more tolerant.D. Reading Harry Potter is important for children living in peacetime.第二节七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
