That holiday morning I didn’t have to attend school. Usually, on holidays, Mother 36 me to sleep in. And I would certainly take full advantage of it. On this particular morning, 37 , I felt like getting up early.
I stood by my window overlooking the 38 , having nothing better to do. But as it turned out, I was soon to learn about something 39 in life.
As I watched several people go by, get into their cars and go off, I 40 an old man on a bicycle with a bucket（桶） on its 41 and a basket of rags and bottles on its back-carriage. He 42 from one car to another, washing and cleaning them. From the water on the ground, it seemed that he had already 43 washing and cleaning about a dozen or more cars. He must have begun to work quite early in the morning.
Several thoughts 44 my mind as I watched him work. He wasn’t well-dressed. He had on a pair of shorts and a(n) 45 T-shirt. The bicycle he rode was not by any means the kind modern 46 would want to be seen riding on. But he seemed 47 with life. There he was, working hard at his small business, 48 at passers-by and stopping to chat now and then 49 elderly men and women on their way to the market nearby.
There was a noticeable touch of 50 in the way he seemed to be doing things— 51 the windscreen (挡风玻璃), then standing back to admire it; scrubbing (擦净) the wheels and 52 , standing back to see what they look like after the scrub.
It was a 53 to learn, I felt. At no age need one have to beg for a 54 if one has good health and is willing to work hard. For a while I felt 55 of myself. Young as I am—just sixteen, and there was this old man who must have been usefully engaged perhaps before the sun appeared above the horizon.

Living abroad to study can certainly be an interesting experience but is that alone a good enough reason for spending years far away from home? To make the experience truly worthwhile, there has to be a goal behind the decision to study abroad. This may be a wish to perfect language skills in a foreign language environment, or a clever move in your career development. You must also consider the costs, not just of living and studying abroad, but of applying. Most universities now charge application fees for international students.
If after considering these points you are sure that you want to apply to study abroad, your next step is to choose the right program of studies. Research your choices and select careful
ly. You must do your homework well. Most universities have information online but you can also email and ask them to send you more details. You can find a lot of information on school ranking from education websites. But read carefully. Different universities emphasize different strengths. Don’t just think about the university’s reputation (名声); look for the most suitable for your goals.
Next, you must deal with a large pile of paperwork. This involves filling in application form, preparing your school records, and getting reference letters. Reading the instructions and requirements of the universities carefully is of great importance. Sadly, many fine applicants get kicked out in the first round, simply because they don’t follow the application procedure properly.
Money is another important consideration. Some scholarships are provided by governments, others by schools and colleges. This information, again, can be found on the Internet. If you find a scholarship that is suitable for you, follow the application procedure carefully; the earlier you apply, the better your chance of getting it.
58. A school ranking list tells you ______.
A. how much the courses cost B. the names of all the professors
C. how good the school is compared to others D. where the school is located
59. What are the three basic steps when you apply?
A. Buy an airplane ticket, read the instructions and requirements, and study.
B. Prepare reference letters, prepare school records, and fill in the application form.
C. Prepare school records, do paperwork, and work hard.
D. Write a reference letter, do paperwork, and study.
60. The underlined phrase “get kicked out in the first round” in Paragraph 3 means ______.
A. fail to get to the next round B. lose money in the first round
C. get accepted in the next round D. get kicked by a professor
C
One Friday night five teenage girls at Danville High School became five young adults, and they did so with their class. I think you’d like to know the story.
That night, in a crowded gym, just before the start of the varsity game (校队比赛), the five girls, who were members of the Danville High School basketball team, four of them starters, weren’t in uniform to play. They were there to explain why they were kicked off the team.
While school had been out for the Christmas and New Year’s holidays, the girls had gone to a party with several of their friends. It was New Year’s Eve. There was alcohol(酒) there. And the five girls all drank some.
Coach Tammy Rainville has a zero-tolerance rule on drugs and alcohol for the members of her team. Every kid who plays for her knows that rule. So when classes began after the holidays, rumors(谣言) about the five girls began spreading quickly. The five girls got together and decided to go to their coach with the full story. The coach said she couldn’t back down on her rule. The players agreed. That Friday night in the gym was part of their public support of the coach’s decision. At last one of them, Shelly, said: “We hope you will understand that we are not bad kids. We made a mistake… What we did was not worth it. We hope this event will make everyone open their eyes and realize that there is a big drug and alcohol problem in our community. And if you work with us to try to solve this problem, you will help us feel that we haven’t been thrown off our basketball team for nothing.” The five girls left the gym and a great cheer went up from the crowd.
The Danville High School girls’ basketball team may not win another game this year. But they’ve learned something about personal responsibility, the effect of one’s actions on others, and honesty that will serve them well throughout life.
61. The five girls were kicked off the basketball team because ______.
A. they made a mistake at school
B. they didn’t do well in the varsity game

A. couldn’t tolerate their coach and decided to leave the team
B. realized their mistake and accepted their coach’s decision
C. will take part in next game of this year
D. will never play basketball again
63. The underlined phrase “back down on” in Paragraph 4 is similar to “______” in meaning.
A. set off B. cut off C. take up D. give up
64. It can be inferred from what Shelly said that ______.
A. the drug and alcohol problem among teenagers should be solved
B. drinking alcohol will cost them their future
C. they have been thrown off the basketball team for nothing
D. everyone in their community likes drinking alcohol
65. What’s the author’s attitude towards the five girls?

第二卷（共75分）
五．任务型阅读（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）
阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
When was the last time you faced disappointment from a certain outcome that did not meet your expectations? It could be any event in your life. Perhaps your meeting at work did not go as well as you expected. Your new job was not what you expected. Maybe your relationship did not work out the way you hoped it would.
Disappointments are dissatisfactions that arise when your expectations are not met by outcomes. In short, a) you had an expectation, b) things did not unfold against the expectation.
Every day, people deal with disappointments. Depending on how big the disappointment is and how you choose to deal with it, the feeling of disappointment may disappear after a short while or hang over your life for an extended period of time. If not handled properly, disappointments can lead to depression and eventually lack of concern.
Contrary to what people may think, disappointments are actually positive phenomena, for two main reasons.
1. Passion toward a cause
Disappointment is the reflection of your passion toward something, whether it is a certain goal, dream, desire or outcome. Wherever there is a cause, there will be an effect -- in this case, the passion is the cause and disappointment is the effect. If you don’t care about something, you wouldn’t be feeling disappointed, would you? The very presence of disappointment suggests that this is something you care about so much that you would feel bad over it. The higher your disappointment, the stronger your passion for this is.
As Martin Luther King Jr puts it, “There can be no deep disappointment where there is not deep love.” This deep love is what drives you toward your goals, dreams and desires. This deep love will be what fuels you in life, bringing you to places you have never been before. This deep love is what makes life worth living. Remember that disappointment is always a better emotional state than neutrality where the individual feels indifferent toward anything. I would much rather be feeling a negative emotion any day than feeling absolutely nothing. The ability to feel is what sets us apart from non-living beings. To feel nothing is to be a robot or a machine.
2. Representing an opportunity for progress
Disappointment also signals an opportunity for progress and growth. If you are disappointed in an outcome, it means there is actually a certain error in your framework of thought which needs correcting.
Whenever you are disappointed, it means you have certain mental illusions (错觉) about reality which you need to address. If your understanding of reality are always right, you will never feel disappointed at all. By correcting your illusions and getting a more accur
ate picture of the reality, you are equipped with more knowledge. This knowledge is a source of power, power for you to act toward your goals.
Think of disappointment as a troubleshooting tool which helps you iron out the twists in your understanding of reality. By using the knowledge from your previous experience, you can act more accurately toward your desires. The more you deal with disappointment and learn from it, the closer you will get toward your goals and dreams.

Dear Editor,
I am writing to tell you about the discussion we’ve had about whether Internet Slang should be forbidden in some places. Opinions among students on this topic are divided.
60% of the students think that Internet Slang should be forbidden. They think too much use of Internet Slang is a dangerous sign that the county’s younger generation won’t know what real Chinese is. Besides, some students’ writing is filled with Internet Slang, which makes it difficult to be understood by some parents and those who don’t chat online.
However, 40% of the students think that it shouldn’t be forbidden. In their opinion, society is always changing and language needs to keep pace with the times. Chinese should be able to absorb some useful new words. In addition, using Internet Slang to chat is both quick and convenient.
As far as I am concerned, we should be more careful with the use of language in official documents and textbooks.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
