Since finishing my studies at Harvard and Oxford, I’ve watched one friend after another
land high-ranking, high-paying Wall Street jobs. As executives( 高 级 管 理 人 员 ) with banks,
consulting firms, established law firms, and major corporations, many are now 21 on their
way to impressive careers. By society’s 22 , they seem to have it made.
On the surface, these people seem to be very lucky in life. As they left student life behind,
many had a 23 drink at their cheap but friendly local bar, shook hands with longtime
roommates, and 24 out of small apartments into high buildings. They made reservations at
restaurants where the cost of a bottle of wine 25 a college year’s monthly rent. They
replaced their beloved old cars with expensive new sports cars.
The thing is, a number of them have 26 that despite their success, they aren’t happy.

and 29 . However, instead of devoting themselves to their work, they find themselves
working to support the 30 to which they have so quickly become 31 .
People often speak of trying a more satisfying path, and 32 in the end the idea of
leaving their jobs to work for something they 33 or finding a position that would give
them more time with their families almost always leads them to the same conclusion:
it’s 34 . They have loans, bills, a mortgage(抵押贷款) to 35 , retirement to save for. They
recognize there’s something 36 in their lives, but it’s 37 to step off the track.
In a society that tends to 38 everything in terms of dollars and cents, we learn
from a young age to consider the costs of our 39 in financial terms. But what about the
personal and social costs 40 in pursuing money over meaning? These are exactly the kinds
of costs many of us tend to ignore---and the very ones we need to consider most.

第二部分 阅读理解(第一节 20 小题,第二节 5 小题,满分 50 分)
第一节:阅读下列材料,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和 D)中,选出最佳选项,并
在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。
A
From the very beginning of school we make books and reading a constant source of
possible failure and public humiliation. When children are little we make them read aloud, before
the teacher and other children, so that we can be sure they “know” all the words they are reading.
This means that when they don’t know a word, they are going to make a mistake, right in front of
everyone. After having taught fifth-grade classes for four years, I decided to try at all costs to rid
them of their fear and dislike of books, and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously.
One day soon after school had started, I said to them, “Now I’m going to say something
about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before. I would like you to read a
lot of books this year, but I want you to read them only for pleasure. I am not going to ask you
questions to find out whether you understand the books or not. If you understand enough of a book
to enjoy it and want to go on reading it, that’s enough for me. And I’m not going to ask you what
words mean.”
The children sat stunned and silent. Was this a teacher talking? One girl, who had just
come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time, looked at me steadily for a long
time after I had finished. Then, still looking at me, she said slowly and seriously, “Mr. Holt, do
you really mean that?” I said just as seriously, “I mean every word of it.”
During the spring she really astonished me. One day, she was reading at her desk. From a
glimpse of the illustrations I thought I knew what the book was. I said to myself, “It can’t be,” and
went to take a closer look. Sure enough, she was reading Moby Dick, in the edition with woodcuts.
I said, “Don’t you find parts of it rather heavy going?” She answered, “Oh, sure, but I just skip
over those parts and go on to the next good part.”
This is exactly what reading should be and in school so seldom is --- an exciting, joyous
adventure. Find something, dive into it, take the good parts, skip the bad parts, get what you can
out of it, go on to something else. How different is our mean-spirited, picky insistence that every
child get every last little scrap of “understanding” that can be dug out of a book.
41. According to the passage, children’s fear and dislike of books may result from __________.
A. reading little and think little.
B. reading often and adventurously
C. being made to read too much
D. being made to read aloud before others
42. The teacher told his students to read __________.
A. for enjoyment
B. for knowledge
C. for a larger vocabulary
D. for higher scores in exams
43. Upon hearing the teacher’s talk, the children probably felt that __________.
A. it sounded stupid
B. it was not surprising at all
C. it sounded too good to be true
D. it was no different from other teachers’ talk
44. Which of the following statements about the girl is TRUE according to the passage?
A. She skipped over those easy parts while reading.
B. She had a hard time finishing the required reading tasks.
C. She learned to appreciate some parts of the difficult books.
D. She turned out to be a top student after coming to this school.
45. From the teacher’s point of view, __________.
A. children cannot tell good parts from bad parts while reading
B. children should be left to decide what to read and how to read
C. reading is never a pleasant and inspiring experience in school
D. reading involves understanding every little piece of information
B
Graphs can be a very useful tool for conveying information, especially numbers,
percentages, and other data. A graph gives the reader a picture to interpret. That can be a lot more
efficient than pages and pages explaining the data.
Graphs can seem frightening, but reading a graph is a lot like reading a story. The graph
has a title, a main idea, and supporting details. You can use your active reading skills to analyze
and understand graphs just like any other text.
Most graphs have a few basic parts: a caption or introduction paragraph, a title, a legend
or key, and labeled axes. An active reader looks at each part of the graph before trying to interpret
the data. Captions will usually tell you where the data from(for example, a scientific study of 400
African elephants from 1980 to 2005). Captions usually summarize the author’s main point as
well. The title is very important. It tells you the main idea of the graph by stating what kind of
information is being shown. A legend, also called a key, is a guide to the symbols and colors used
in the graph. Many graphs, including bar graphs and line graphs, have two axes that form a corner.
Usually these axes are the left side and the bottom of the graph. Each axis will always have a label
tells you what each axis measures.
Bar Graphs
A bar graph has two axes and uses bars to show
amounts. In Graph 1, we see that the x-axis shows grades
students earned, and the y-axis shows how many
students earned each grade. You can see that 6 students
earned an A because the bar for A stretches up to 6 on the
vertical measurement. There is a lot of information we can
get from a simple graph like this (See Graph 1)
Line Graphs
A line graph looks similar to a bar graph, but
instead of bars, it plots points and connects them with a
line. It has the same parts as a bar graph---two labeled
axes---and can be read the same way. To read a line graph,
it’s important to focus on the points of intersection rather
Number of Students
Grade Earned
Graph 1. Student Performance on Social Studies Quiz
than the line segments between the points. This type of
graph is most commonly used to show how something
changes over time. Here is a graph that charts how far a
bird flies during the first five days of its spring migration
(See Graph 2).
The unit of measurement for the x-axis is days. The unit of measurement for the y-axis is
kilometers. Thus we can see that, on the first day, the pipit flew 20 kilometers. The line segment
goes up between Day 1 and Day 2, which means that the bird flew farther on Day 2. If the line
segment angled down, as between Day 4 and Day 5, it would mean that the bird flew fewer
kilometers than the day before. This line graph is a quick, visual way to tell the reader about the
bird’s migration.
Pie Graphs
A typical pie graph looks like a circular pie. The circle is divided into sections, and each
section represents a fraction of the data. The graph is commonly used to show percentages; the
whole pie represents 100 percent, so each piece is a fraction of the whole.
A pie graph might include a legend, or it might
use icons or labels within each slice. This pie graph
shows one month’s expenses(See Graph 3).
Food $25
Movies $12
Clothing $36
Savings $20
Books $7
46. When used in a graph, a legend is __________.
A. a guide to the symbols and colors
B. an introduction paragraph
C. the main idea
D. the data
47. What is the total number of students who earned a C or better?
A. 4. B. 6. C. 10. D. 20.
48. The bird covered the longest distance on __________.
A. Day 1. B. Day 2. C. Day 3. D. Day 4.
49. Which of the following cost Amy most?
A. Food. B. Books. C. Movies. D. Clothing.

If humans were truly at home under the light of the moon and stars, we would go in
darkness happily, the midnight world as visible to us as it is to the vast number of nocturnal(夜间
活动的)species on this planet. Instead, we are diurnal creatures, with eyes adapted to living in the
sun’s light. This is a basic evolutionary fact, even though most of us don’t think of ourselves as
diurnal beings. Yet it’s the only way to explain what we’ve done to the night: We’ve engineered it
to receive us by filling it with light.
The benefits of this kind of engineering come with consequences---called light pollution---
whose effects scientists are only now beginning to study. Light pollution is largely the result of
bad lighting design, which allows artificial light to shine outward and upward into sky.
Ill-designed lighting washes out the darkness of night and completely changes the light
levels---and light rhythms---to which many forms of life, including ourselves, have adapted.
Wherever human light spills into the natural world, some aspect of life is affected.
In most cities the sky looks as though it has been emptied of stars, leaving behind a vacant
haze( 霾 ) that mirrors our fear of the dark. We’ve grown so used to this orange haze that the
original glory of an unlit night---dark enough for the planet Venus to throw shadows on Earth---is
wholly beyond our experience, beyond memory almost.
We’ve lit up the night as if it were an unoccupied country, when nothing could be further
from the truth. Among mammals alone, the number of nocturnal species is astonishing. Light is a
powerful biological force, and on many species it acts as a magnet( 磁 铁 ). The effect is so
powerful that scientists speak of songbirds and seabirds being “captured” by searchlights on land
or by the light from gas flares on marine oil platforms. Migrating at night, birds tend to collide
with brightly lit tall buildings.
Frogs living near brightly lit highways suffer nocturnal light levels that are as much as a
million times brighter than normal, throwing nearly every aspect of their behavior out of joint,
including their nighttime breeding choruses. Humans are no less trapped by light pollution than
the frogs. Like most other creatures, we do need darkness. Darkness is as essential to our
biological welfare, to our internal clockwork, as light itself.
Living in a glare of our own making, we have cut ourselves off from our evolutionary and
cultural heritage---the light of the stars and the rhythms of day and night. In a very real sense, light
pollution causes us to lose sight of our true place in the universe, to forget the scale of our being,
which is best measured against the dimensions of a deep night with the Milky Way---the edge of
our galaxy---arching overhead.
50. According to the passage, human beings __________.
A. prefer to live in the darkness
B. are used to living in the day light
C. were curious about the midnight world
D.had to stay at home with the light of the moon
51. What does “it”(Paragraph 1) most probably refer to?
A. The night B. The moon C. The sky D. The
planet
52. The writer mentions birds and frogs to __________.
A. provide examples of animal protection
B. show how light pollution affects animals
C. compare the living habits of other species
D. explain why the number of certain species has declined
53. It is implied in the last paragraph that __________.
A. light pollution does harm to the eyesight of animals
B. light pollution has destroyed some of the world heritages
C. human beings cannot go to the outer space
D. human beings should reflect on their position in the universe
54. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. The Magic Light B. The Orange Haze
C. The Disappearing Night D. The Rhythms of Nature

In 2004, when my daughter Becky was ten, she and my husband, Joe, were united in their
desire for a dog. As for me, I shared none of their canine lust.
But why, they pleaded. “Because I don’t have tine to take care of a dog.” But we’ll do it.
“Really? You’re going to walk the dog? Feed the dog? Bathe the dog?” Yes,yes and yes.”I don’t
believe you.” We will. We promise.
They didn’t. From day two (everyone wanted to walk the cute puppy that first day),
neither thought to walk the dog. While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track
of her shots, to schedule her vet appointments, to feed and clean her, Misty knew this on day one.
As she looked up at the three new humans in her life (small, medium, and large), she calculated,
“The medium one is the sucker in the pack.”
Quickly, she and I developed something very similar to a Vulcan mind meld(心灵融合).
She’d look at me with those sad brown eyes of hers, beam her need, and then wait, trusting I
would understand---which, strangely, I almost always did. In no time, she became my fifth
appendage(附肢), snoring on my stomach as I watched television.
Even so, part of me continued to resent walking duty. Joe and Becky had promised. Not
fair, I’d balk(不心甘情愿地做) silently as she and I walked.“Not fair,” I’d loudly remind anyone
within earshot upon our return home.
Then one day---January 1, 2007, to be exact---my husband’s doctor uttered an
unthinkable word: leukemia (白血病). With that, I spent eight to ten hours a day with Joe in the
hospital, doing anything and everything I could to ease his discomfort. During those six months of
hospitalizations, Becky, 12 at that time, adjusted to other adults being in the house when she
returned from school. My work colleagues adjusted to my taking off at a moment’s notice for
medical emergencies. Every part of my life changed; no part of my old routine remained.
Save one: Misty still needed walking. At the beginning, when friends offered to take her
through her paces, I declined because I knew they had their own households to deal with.
As the months went by, I began to realize that I actually wanted to walk Misty. The walk
in the morning before I headed to the hospital was a quiet, peaceful time to gather my thoughts or
to just be before the day’s medical drama unfolded. The evening walk was a time to shake off the
day’s upsets and let the worry tracks in my head go to white noise.
When serious illness visits your household, it’s not just your daily routine and your
assumptions about the future that are no longer familiar. Pretty much everyone you know acts
differently.
Not Misty. Take her for a walk, and she had no interest in Joe’s blood or bone marrow test
results. On the street or in the park, she had only one thing on her mind: squirrels! She was so
joyful that even on the worst days, she could make me smile. On a daily basis, she reminded me
that life goes on.
After Joe died in 2009, Misty slept on his pillow.
I’m grateful---to a point. The truth is, after years of balking, I’ve come to enjoy my walks
with Misty. As I watch her chase a squirrel, throwing her whole being into the here-and-now of an
exercise that has never once ended in victory, she reminded me, too, that no matter how harsh the
present or unpredictable the future, there’s almost always some measure of joy to be extracted
from the moment.
55. Why didn’t the writer agree to raise a dog at the beginning of the story?
A. She was afraid the dog would get the family into trouble.
B. It would be her business to take care of the dog.
C. Her husband and daughter were united as one.
D. She didn’t want to spoil her daughter.
56. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to “The medium one is the sucker in the
pack.”
A. “The middle-aged person loves me most.”
B. “The medium-sized woman is the hostess.”
C. “The man in the middle is the one who has the final say.”
D. “The woman is the kind and trustworthy one in the family.”
57. It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that __________.
A. Misty was quite clever
B. Misty could solve math problems
C. the write was a slow learner
D. no one walked Misty the first day
58. The story came to its turning point when __________.
A. Joe died in 2009
B. Joe fell ill in 2007
C. the writer began to walk the dog
D. the dog tried to please the writer
59. Why did the writer continue to walk Misty while Joe was in hospital?
A. Misty couldn’t live without her.
B. Her friends didn’t offer any help.
C. The walk provided her with spiritual comfort.
D. She didn’t want Misty to be others’ companion.
60. What is the message the writer wants to convey in the passage?
A. One should learn to enjoy hard times.
B. A disaster can change everything in life.
C. Moments of joy suggest that there is still hope ahead.
D. People will change their attitude toward you when you are in difficulty..

One of the best things you can do any time in the semester is go see the professor. So
hoof on over to an office hour and have some one-on-one face time with someone who’ll help you
master the material and improve your grade, to boot. But how should you have this conversation
with the professor?Here are five insider tips about how to make that office hour really count:.
61. _________ No need to get all bent out of shape about going to see the professor. The professor
would actually like to see you and answer your questions. Believe it or not, he or she is on your
side and is eager to see you do well. And besides, he or she has seen many students stupider than
you, so nothing you’re going to ask will set the record for stupidity.
62. _________ Even though you might feel more comfortable going with a friend or partner, the
office hour will go better if it’s just you and the professor. You’ll get in more questions, the
discussion will be tailored to what you need most help on, and two-party communication is almost
always more productive than committee work. Your friend can wait outside for the discussion.
63. __________ If you can’t make the official office hours, most professors are willing to make
individual appointments to help you out. If you’re lucky enough to land such an accommodation,
though, be sure you’re 100 percent on time. There’s nothing that ticks off a professor more than
making him-or herself available for a custom office hour only to find that you don’t care enough
to come on time. And besides, the professor might leave after ten minutes, which would make
your trip a total loss.
64. __________ If you’re meeting with the professor to go over a paper or test, or to ask questions
about a particular lecture or reading,make sure you bring that paper or test, or your lecture notes or
a copy of the article. The professor doesn’t remember the comments he or she wrote on your
individual piece of work---though he or she will be able to recall them after just a brief glance at
your work. And if you have your lecture notes or the article in hand, you and the professor will be
able to examine specific points that are confusing to you, rather than just talking in a general way
about the contents.
65. ___________ Office hours almost always go better if you bring a few specific questions to the
meeting. It’s almost never good to start a meeting with general comments such as“I didn’t
understand what you said about [main topic of the course]” or“I couldn’t understand any of your
lectures last week.” Much better is to come in with two or three conversation-starters about a
specific concept, point, or problem you didn’t understand. Keep in mind that in a fifteen-minute
office hour (which is how long these things usually last), two or three questions are usually the
most you’ll have time to discuss.

My old classroom was interesting because three side of the classroom were made from glass. I
enjoyed sit close to the windows and looking at the view. On the left-hand side of the class, I
could easy see the football field. In the morning ,it was full of the students exercising. The view
from the back of the classroom is also splendid. Close to the school there was a beautiful park
with many trees around them. Farther in the distance, I could not enjoy the view of snowy
mountains. On the right side of the class was the road ,I was always interested to see the drivers in
hurry in the morning. The position of the classroom with its view made me felt like I was
dreaming. If I was only a child when I studied in that classroom, I will never forget it.

generation gap since rock and roll. People over the age of thirty were born before the digital
revolution really started. We’ve learned to use digital technology—laptops, cameras, personal
digital assistants, the Internet—as adults, and it has been something like learning a foreign
language. ② We do e-mails and PowerPoint, surf the Internet, and feel we’re at the cutting
edge. But compared to most people under thirty and certainly under twenty, we are fumbling
amateurs. People of that age were horn after the digital revolution began. They learned to speak
digital as a mother tongue.
But younger children who are growing up with even more sophisticated technologies are
already outperforming teenagers of his generation. And this revolution is not over. ③
Some suggest that, in the near future, the power of laptop computers will match the
computing power of the human brain. Before too long we may see the merging of information
systems with human consciousness. If you think about the impact (影响) in the last twenty years
of relatively simple digital technologies on the work we do and how we do it—and the impact
these technologies have had on national economies—think of the changes that lie ahead. Don't
worry if you can’t predict them: nobody can.
Add to this the impact of population growth. The world population has doubled in the
past thirty years, from three to six billion. It may be heading for nine billion by the middle, of the
century. This great new mass of humanity will be using technologies that have yet to be invented
in ways we cannot imagine and in jobs that don't yet exist.
These driving cultural and technological forces are bringing about great changes in the
world economies and increasing diversity and complexity in our daily lives, and especially in
those of young people. The simple fact is that these are times of unprecedented ( 前所未有的)
global change. ④

A year ago, my son Michael, who had just graduated from high school, had to choose
between two summer jobs. He could work either at my basketball camp ① at one of the
horse farms in the Lexington, Kentucky, area. It was his choice. He ② (choose) the horse
farm,because he was tired of working my camps, and he thought he could make more money at
the horse farm. But ____③____ only a few days he realized he hated it. Farm work is hard,and
he was spending most of his time ④ (walk)horses on a treadmill and shoveling manure. One
day a couple of weeks into the summer he came to me and said he’d made a mistake and ⑤
rather work at my
basketball camp.
I understood, but I told him that he’d made a commitment and now he was going to have
to follow through with it, no matter ⑥ unpleasant. Quitting was not an option.
Sometimes, of course, we fail to accomplish our goals. But we have to remember that
failure is a part of life and failure is only fertilizer for future success. I’ve often heard people say
that failure teaches us ⑦ . I don’t believe it. There are so many lessons we can learn ⑧
failure. Most of all, we learn what ⑨ to do .It’s like the child who touches the hot stove, and
then keeps doing it. The first time is part of the learning process. The second time it’s stupid.
The only time failure is truly bad is if you use it ⑩ an excuse to quit.

One possible student version:
When I Have Different Opinion
We may have different opinions in organizing class activities. We may have various ways
to deal with such a situation. When I have a better idea, I would choose to stick to it. By doing so,
I can not only share good ideas with others but also learn to express myself clearly.
Once we were discussing where to go for an outing. Most of my classmates wanted to go
to a park while I had an idea of going to a nicer place. I managed to persuade my classmates into
accepting my idea. We did have a good time that day. Good opinions are worth sticking to
because they can benefit us all.
An alternative student version:
We may have different opinions in organizing class activities. When I have a different
opinion, I may choose to give it up and respect the opinion of the majority.
The main reason for my choice is that being brought up in a culture emphasizing
collectivism, I tend to sacrifice my own interest for the group benefit. Once we were left to decide
whether to have a picnic in a park or go to a museum. I would love to go to a museum, but most of
my classmates wanted to go for a picnic. Without hesitation, I decided to follow them and we did
have lots of fun that day. Sometimes giving up a little can mean getting more.
