When I was a child， my mother had the most beautiful rose bushes in the corner of the yard. Every July 36 bloomed（开花）with other colorful flowers. One summer， however， with no one 37 to them， weeds stole into the bushes.

One evening， dad and I went 38 to play catch. As I threw the ball to him， it passed him and 39 in the overgrown corner of the 40 . Dad found the ball and threw it back to me， then silently walked to the garage and 41 with a grass cutter. He pulled and pushed until he had cut every square inch， leaving no plant 42 than one inch. I watched in horror as he placed the 43 back. Didn’t he know how 44 mom would be when she discovered her flowers had been 45 ?

But dad knew 46 that I did not. The following April， mom walked toward her 47 corner of the yard. She bent over the area where the roses had been cut 48 before. “Veronica， look at these bushes!” mom shouted. I thought she was joking. 49 there was nothing to look at. 50 ， I looked down and saw hundreds of tiny red and green shoots reach up to kiss the sun. That year the rose bushes were the best in 51 .

A few years ago I planted my roses. I， too， am learning the secret of 52 . There is a time for growing， a time for blooming and a time for 53 .

第三部分 阅读理解（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）

A

Who’s in control of your life? Who’s pulling your strings? For the majority of us， it’s other people—society， workmates， friends， or family. We learned this way of operating when we were very young， of course. We discovered that feeling important and feeling accepted was a nice experience and so we learned to do everything we could to make other people like us. As Oscar Wilde puts it， “Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions. Their lives are a copy.”

So when people tell us how wonderful we are， it makes us feel good. We long for this good feeling like a drug—we enjoy it and seek it out wherever we can. Therefore， we are so eager for the approval（赞同）of others that we live an unhappy and limited life， failing to do the things we really want to.

But， just as with any drug， there is a price to pay. The price of the approval drug is freedom—the freedom to be ourselves. The truth is that we cannot control what other people think. People have their own things to do， and they come with their own baggage and in the end， they’re more interested in themselves than in you. What’s more， if we try to live by the opinions of others， we will build our life on sinking sand. Everyone has a different way of thinking， and people change their opinions all the time. The person who tries to please everyone will only end up getting tired out and probably pleasing no one in the end.

So how can we take back control? I think there’s only one way—make a wise decision to stop caring what other people think. We should guide ourselves by means of a set of values—not values forced by others to accept， but born values which come from within. If we are driven by these values and not by the changing opinions and value systems of others， we will live a more effective， purposeful and happy life.

56. What Oscar Wilde says implies that ＿＿＿ .

A. we have thoughts similar to those of othersB. most people have a variety of thoughts

C. other people’s thoughts are more importantD. most people’s thoughts are controlled by others

57. What does the author try to argue in Paragraph 3?

A. Changing opinions may cost us our freedom.B. We may lose ourselves to please others.

C. We need to pay little for what we want to get.D. The price of taking the drug is freedom.

58. It can be concluded from the passage that ＿＿＿ .

A. it’s better to do what we likeB. we should try to change others’ opinions

C. we shouldn’t care what others thinkD. it’s important to accept others’ opinions

59. The author tries to persuade the readers to accept his arguments mainly by ＿＿＿ .

A. giving causes and effectsB. providing examples and facts

C. discussing questionsD. making suggestions

B

Many years ago， when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver， I was driving to my parents’ home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City， where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. I pumped the tank full， stood in line at the cash register（收银机）， and said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.

I took off， but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from my pipe. I pulled over and wondered what I should do.

A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend’s. We chatted on the way into the city， and when I got out of the car， the husband gave me his business card.

I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward， I received a Christmas package from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.

Years later， I drove through a foggy morning to a meeting in a nearby town. In late afternoon， I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day， and the battery was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership（经销商）was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen relaxing in a showroom empty of customers.

“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?”I asked and explained my trouble.

They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car， attached jumper wires， and started my car. They would accept no payment， so when I got home， I wrote them a note to say thanks.

I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say “thank you”， and it meant a lot， he said.

Another few years had passed when a friend’s husband died. Pat had been a well-respected doctor in a big hospital， and hundreds of cards were sent to the family. Among them was a sympathy card from a plumber who had once worked in their house. He wrote that when Pat had paid the bill. He wrote on the invoice（发票）， “Thank you for a good job.”

Thank you—two powerful words. They’re easy to say and mean so much.

60. From this passage we know that ＿＿＿ .

A. the writer didn’t visit his friend in the endB. the writer sent the old couple a Christmas package

C. the old couple helped the writer repair his carD. the old couple received a thanks note from the writer

61. One of the salesmen in the Friendly Ford wrote back to the writer probably because ＿＿＿ .

A. only a few customers would write him for his helpB. the writer was humorous and friendly

C. the writer’s thanks note was meaningful to himD. he wanted to make friends with the writer

62. How many stories did the writer tell in the passage?

A. Two.B. Three.

C. Four.D. Five.

How to Make the Most of Your Time

Time arrangement is important in our daily life. There never seems to be enough hours in the day to do all you need to do. Here are some tips that might be of some help to you.

● Set up a plan

Go for a week at a time， and prioritize the most important ones， including the things you want to do. Give attention to the things that are important to you.

● Control your anxiety

No matter what kind of pressure is fixed on you， try to keep cool. Anxiety can result in an early breakdown， which is decidedly counter-productive when you have a list of things to do. It’s easier to take a 10-minute break and cool off than work all week with built-up anxiety.

● Shut your door

When working under a plan， perform your important tasks with your door shut to get them done. You will get a better quality of time to get what needs to be done done.

● Focus on one thing at a time

Forget trying doing many things at a time! You will lose concentration， and it will take you longer to do what you set out to do.

● Just say “no”

If you are always been bothered， and you really don’t have the time to help out， just say “no”. You are only one person， and you can’t save the world by yourself!

● Stop wasting time on the phone

While talking on the phone， keep your conversations short and to the point， and you will lose much less time.

● Be realistic

You can only do what you can do. Don’t set out to do the impossible. Do your best， but keep realistic goals of yourself.

●Relax

The most important thing is to remember to take time to relax， and regroup. You need a break every now and then to keep working. Even if it’s a 10-minute walk， get away from your list and get refreshed.

As families today get busier and busier， it is important to take care of your own mental health to keep things on track. Don’t delay. Get your life in order now!

63. What does the underlined word “prioritize” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. Get rid of something that is unwanted.

B. Put many things in order according to the importance.

C. Recognize the difference between things.

D. Choose something by thinking carefully.

64. By writing the text， the author would like to ＿＿＿ .

A. offer some advice on how to make full use of time

B. ask readers to share their time management skills

C. invite readers to discuss how to improve life quality

D. persuade readers to spend less time on job

65. Which statement would the author agree to?

A. Try doing many things at a time， and we can get more done.

B. It’s impolite to refuse to help others at work.

C. Having breaks regularly may delay our tasks.

D. It is wise to know clearly what we can achieve.

阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空格处填入恰当的词。

When difficult people express themselves orally， they generally want at least two things: they’ve been heard and they’ve been understood. As a good communicator should be a good listener， five steps are advocated toward good listening.

The first step is cooperating（合作）. How does a difficult person know that you’re listening and understanding? In fact， it’s through the way you look and sound while he is talking. You may help him to fully express his thoughts and feelings. You do this by nodding your head in agreement， making certain sounds of understanding.

When the person begins to repeat what’s been said， it’s a signal of step two: turning back. It means that you repeat some words he is using， sending a clear signal that you’re listening carefully and that you think what he is saying is important.

Having heard what he has to say， the next step is clarifying. At this point， you start to gather information about what is being communicated. Ask some open-ended questions， which will allow you to figure out what intention he is hoping to satisfy.

The fourth step is to summarize（概括）what you’ve heard. This allows you to make sure that both you and the difficult person are on the same page. When you do this， two things happen. First， if you’ve missed something， he can fill in the details（细节）. Second， you’ve shown that you’re making an effort to understand completely. This increases the possibility of gaining cooperation from him.

Having listened carefully， you’ve now arrived at the point of confirming with the person that he feels satisfied that his thoughts have been fully voiced. Ask if he feels understood.

When enough sincere listening， questioning， and remembering are brought together， understanding is usually achieved and a difficult person becomes less difficult and more cooperative.

第二节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

Hocus-pocus sounds magical， doesn’t it? And the word comes from the world of magic playing in Medieval（中世纪）Europe. In the dictionary Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English， hocus-pocus is explained this way: a method or belief that you think is based on 1 ideas， e.g. He thinks psychology is a lot of hocus-pocus.

I’m afraid this explanation isn’t as interesting as the sounding of the word itself. But then again， the dictionary I mentioned is a dictionary for beginners. One can’t expect much from it when it comes to such an interesting word as hocus-pocus. The Merriam-Webster dictionary online， on the other hand， gives a more detailed explanation: (1) sleight of hand; (2) nonsense or sham used especially to cloak deception. And it gives the origin of the word: probably from hocus pocus， imitation of a Latin phrase used by magicians.

This explanation gets to the basic nature of hocus-pocus—exotic（外来的）but meaningless talk by the magician to fool the audience. Watch any magician at work and we’ll notice that he sometimes talks constantly while performing tricks， using hocus-pocus， such as ear-catching words， eye-catching hand or body movements， to distract our attention while he gets a trick done.

Hocus-pocus reveals the nonsensical nature of the magician’s talk on stage. And it was introduced into the English language probably just on the strength of the rhyming sound of it. Hocus-pocus， lovely.

Well， knowing its origin which is from performing magicians in Europe， I’m sure you will find hocus pocus easier to remember. You’ll also learn where to put it into use.

76. What is the passage mainly about? (Please answer within 10 words).

77. Please list some examples of using “hocus pocus” mentioned in the passage. (Please answer within 10 words).

① ② ③

78. Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?

Hocus pocus shows magicians’ completely ridiculous and pointless words while performing.

79. Translate the underlined sentence in the passage into Chinese.

80. In what situations do you think we can use hocus-pocus? (Please answer within 30 words).
