B Have you ever received a gift that was so clearly not your taste that you wondered i f perhaps it had been handed to you by mistake? Worse, have you ever given a present a nd watched your friend look as though she had opened the wrong box? Maybe she respo nded with a polite “Why, thank you,” but you knew you had missed the mark. Why do presents sometimes go wrong? And what do your choices (good and had) reflect about yo ur personal qualities? Choosing the right is an art, I believe. It calls for empathy－the ability to put yourse lf into someone else’s head and heart. We’re all able to do this; in fact, we’ve born with a kind of natural empathy. After the earliest period of childhood, however, it needs to b e reinforced（加强）－by our parents, teachers, friends. When it isn’t, we’re not able to u nderstand other people’s feelings as sharply. This can show in the gifts we select, and so can many other emotional（情感的）qualities. Think back to the presents you’ve given over the past year, the time and effort you put into your selection, how much you spent, you thoughts while you were shopping, and your feelings when the receiver opened the package. Keep in mind that what you choose displays your inner world. Of course, you may express yourself differently with different friends, relatives, and other people you know. We live in a society where exchanging presents is an important part of communicatio n. Ignoring the tradition won’t make it go away. If you really dislike such a tradition, tell your friends ahead of time. 60. The underlined expression “you had missed the mark” means “you had failed to ”. A. make her feel better B. keep your friendship C. receive a present in return D. get the expected effect 61. Which of the following is the main idea of the second paragraph? A. Natural empathy needs to be reinforced. B. Emotional changes influence one’s choice of gifts. C. Selecting the right gift is an ability people are born with. D. Choosing gifts requires one to understand the receivers. 62. In the third paragraph, the author tells us that . A. attention should be paid to the receivers’ responses B. one learns from what he did in the past C. the choice of girls reflects one’s emotional qualities D. one should spend more time choosing gifts 63. The best possible title for this passage is “ ”. A. Ways of Choosing Gifts B. An Important Tradition C. Exchanging Presents D. Message in a Gift C The young boy saw me, or rather, he saw the car and quickly ran up to me, eager t o sell his bunches（串）of bananas and bags of peanuts. Though he appeared to be about twelve, he seemed to have already known the bitterness of life. “Banana 300 naira. Peanu ts 200 naira. ” He said in a low voice. I bargained him down to 200 that for the fruit a nd nuts. When he agreed, I handed him a 500 naira bill. He didn’t have change. So I tol d him not to worry. He said thanks and smiled a row of perfect teeth. When, two weeks later, I saw the boy again, I was more aware of my position in a society where it’s not that uncommon to see a little boy who should be in school standi ng on the corner selling fruit in the burning sun. My parents bad raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us. I pulled over and rolled down my window, He had a bunch of bananas and a bag o f peanuts ready. I waved them away. “What’s up?” asked him. “I…I don’t have money t o buy books for school. ” I reached into my pocket and handed him two fresh 500 naira bills. “Will this help?” I asked. He looked around nervously before taking the money. O ne thousand naira was a lot of money to someone whose family probably made about 5,0 00 naira or less each year. “Thank you, sir. ” he said. “Thank you very much!” When driving home. I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for scho olbooks. What if he’s a cheat（骗子）?And then I wondered why I did it. Did I do it to make myself feel better? Was I using him? Later, I realized that I wondered why I did it. Did I do it to make myself feel better? Was I using him? Later, I realized that I didn’t know his name or the least bit about him, nor did I think to ask. Over the next six months, I was busy working in a news agency in northern Nigeria. Sometime after I returned, I went out For a drive. When I was about to pull over, the boy suddenly appeared by my window with a big smile ready on his face. “Oh, gosh! Long time. ” “Are you in school now?” I asked. He nodded. “That’s good,” I said. A silence fell as we looked at each other, and then I realized what he wanted. “Here,” I held out a 500 naira bill. “Take this. ” He shook his head an d stepped back as if hurt. “What’s wrong?” I asked. “It’s a gift. ” He shook his head again and brought his had form behind his back. His face shone with sweat（汗水）. He dropped a bunch of banana and a bag of peanuts in the front sea t before he said, “I’ve been waiting to give these to you. ” 64.

D An environmental group called the Food Commission is unhappy and disappointed be cause of the sale of bottled water form Japan. The water is angrily argues in public, has traveled 10,000 “food miles” before it reaches Western customers. “transporting water half way across the world is surely the extremely stupid use of fuel when there is plenty of water in the UK. ”It is also worried that we are wasting our fuel by buying prawns（对 虾）from Indonesia(7,000 food miles) and carrots from South Africa(5,900 food miles). Counting the number of miles traveled done by a product is a strange way of trying to tell the true situation of the environmental damage done by an industry. Most food is t ransported around the world on container ships that are extremely energy-efficient（高能效 的）. It should be noted that a ton of butter transported 25 miles in a truck product trans ported hundreds of miles by sea. Besides, the idea of “of miles” ignores the amount of fu el used in the production. It is possible to cut down your food miles by buying tomatoes grown in Britain rather than those grown in Ghana; the difference is that the British one will have been raised in heated greenhouses and the Ghanaian ones in the open sun. What the idea of “food miles” does provide, however, is the chance to cut out Third World Countries from First World food markers. The number of miles traveled by our f ood should, as I see it, be regarded as a sign of the success of the global（全球的）trade system, not a sign of damage to the environment. 68. The Food Commission is angry because it thinks that . A. OK wastes a lot of money importing food products B. some imported goods cause environmental damage C. growing certain vegetables damages the environment D. people waste energy buying food fro other countries 69. The phrase “food miles” in the passage refers to the distance . A. that a food product travels to a market B. that a food product travels from one market to another C. between UK and other food producing countries D. between a Third World country and a First World food market 70. By comparing tomatoes raised in Britain and in Ghana, the author tries to explai n that . A. British tomatoes are healthier than Ghanaian ones B. Ghanaian tomatoes taste better than British ones C. cutting down food miles may not necessarily save fuel D. protecting the environment may cost a lot of money 71. From the passage we know that the author is most probably . A. a supporter of free global trade B. a member of the Food Commission D. a supporter of First World food markets D. a member of an energy development group E Silence is unnatural to map. He begins life with a cry and ends it in stillness. In bet ween be does all he can to make a noise in the world, and be fears silence more than a nything else. Even his conversation is an attempt to prevent a fearful silence. If be is intr oduced to another person, and is number of pauses occur in the conversation, he regards him self as a failure,a worthless person, and is full of envy of the emptiest-headed chatter box（喋喋不休的人）. He knows that ninety nine percent of human conversation means n o more than the buzzing of a fly, but he is anxious to join in the buzz and to prove that he is a man and not a waxwork figure（蜡塑人像）. The aim of conversation is not. For the most part, to communicate ideas; it is to kee p up the buzzing sound. There are, it must be admitted, different qualities of buzz; there is even a buzz that is as annoying as the continuous noise made by a mosquito(蚊子). B ut at a dinner party one would rather be a mosquito than a quiet person. Most buzzing, f ortunately, is pleasant to the ear, and some of it is pleasant even to the mind. He would be a foolish man if he waited until he had a wise thought to take pert in the buzzing wi th his neighbors. Those who hate to pick up the weather as a conversational opening seem to me not to know the reason why human beings wish to talk. Very few human beings join in a co nversation in the hope of learning anything new. Some of them are content it they are m erely allowed to go on making a noise into other people’s ears, though they have nothing to tell them except that they have seen two or three new plays or that they had food in a Swiss hotel. At the end of an evening during which they have said nothing meaningful for a long time, they just prove themselves to be successful conversationists. 72. According to the author, people make conversation to . A. exchange ideas B. prove their value C. achieve success in life D. overcome their fear of silence 73. By “the buzzing of a fly” (Para. 1),the author means “ ”. A. the noise of an insect B. a low whispering sound C. meaningless talks D. the voice of a chatterbox 74. According to the passage, people usually talk to their neighbors . A. about whatever they have prepared B. about whatever they want to C. in the hope of learning something new D. in the hope of getting on well 75. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A. To discuss why people like talking about weather. B. To encourage people to join in conversations. C. To persuade people to stop making noises. D. To explain why people keep talking. 第Ⅱ卷（共 35 分）摘自 www.nmet168.com 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分 35 分） 第一节 短文改错（共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 10 分） 此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。对标有题号的每一行作出判断：如无错误，在该行右 边横线上画一个勾（√），如有错误（每行只有一个错误），则按下列情况改正： 此行多一个词：把多余的词用斜线（）划掉，在该行右边横线上写出该词，并也用斜 线划掉。 此行缺一个词：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（∧），在该行右边横线上写出该加的词. 此行错一个词：在错的词下划一横线，在该线在边横线上写出改正后的词。 注意：原行没有错的不要改。 Growing up is not easy.
