“Confidence” is probably one of the most noticeable quality in the Americans. They show confidence in the way they talk, the way they smile, the way they dress and the way they walk. Living and competing with all these confident American students, I find it extremely important to be confident as an international student and teacher. As a student, being confident means you should dare to raise your hand whenever a question or a point comes to your mind. Don’t mind if it sounds simple or silly. Otherwise you will never get a chance to speak in class at all. What’s worse, the professors may think you are not prepared for the discussion or you do not have your own opinion on the topic---this is the last comment any graduate would not like to receive.
Being confidence for me as a foreign teacher means calmly asking the student to repeat what he or she has said if I did not get it. Pretending to understand what you actually did not may just bring yourself uneasiness or even shame. But the time I most need to be confident is when my students come to my office and bargain about the grades I have given for their Speeches. (The course I’m teaching here is Public Speaking.) Modesty(谦虚) is a quality highly valued in China, but it won’t be of much help here if you want to survive and succeed in a good American graduate program.
60. What should we do most if we want to compete with American students?
A. Be quite confident. B. Be polite and friendly.
C. Have more discussions. D. Know what they think about.
61. A professor will have the worst opinion of a student who ______.
A. gives a silly or simple answer B. tries to seize any chance to speak in class
C. shows no interest in the course D. is considered to have no opinion of his own
62. The author is most likely to feel uneasiness if ______.
A. he asks a student to repeat what he has said B. the students bargain with him
C. he pretends to know what he doesn’t D. he has to give a speech
63. The passage is mainly organized by ______.
A. giving examples B. describing personal experiences
C. giving different figures D. making comparisons
C
How do you know if your mother likes you or not? That is a question I have been struggling with a lot lately. My mother and I used to talk on the phone a few times a day. I saw her at least twice a week. Now she doesn’t answer when I call, and never calls me back. She doesn’t see me and then complains that I don’t see her enough.
It all started a few months ago, I started having a date with a man, and we became serious quickly. This is not the first boyfriend I have had. I know she isn’t mad at me for my finding love. The turn-in events happened when I moved from about 15 minutes away from my mom to 1.5 hours away from her. She encouraged it, she seemed happy, and she helped me pack. Since then, everything has changed.
I can’t tell if she cares about me and I don’t know if she is bitter. When I call her, she says she is busy and will call me back. Then the problem is that she never calls me back, I make plans with her, but she cancels. Then when I do see her, she gives me comments like “It’s been a while since you came to see me”. It seems like I haven’t tried. It’s very frustrating.
I don’t know what is wrong, and she won’t talk to me, so I can’t find out. Does anyone have any advice for what to do in a situation like this? Part of me wants to cry and stop trying. But not talking to her tears me apart. Please give me some advice below.
64. What’s the writer’s purpose of writing these passages?
A. To share her sad story. B. To ask for some advice.
C. To let her mother know how she feels. D. To find out whether her mother loves her.
65. We can infer that in the past the writer ______.
A. often disappointed her mother B. didn’t know her mother quite well
C. had a close relationship with her mother D. didn’t want to visit her mother
66. According to paragraphs 2 and 3, it seems that the writer’s mother ______.
A. was not satisfied with any of the writer’s boyfriend
B. wanted the writer to move away from her very much
C. was afraid the writer would be hurt by her boyfriend
D. was not happy that the writer moved further away from her
67. Now the writer doesn’t know ______.
A. whether her mother really cares about her
B. whether she should break up with her boyfriend
C. whether her mother is worth her love and respect
D. whether she should move back to live with her mother
D
When a child is told he is “uncool”, it can be very painful. He may say he doesn’t care, and even act in ways that are opposite of cool on purpose. But these are simple ways to handle sadness by pretending it’s not there.
Helping a child feel better in school had to be careful. If you say, “Why are you worried about what other children think about you? It doesn’t matter!” Children know that it does matter. Instead, an active way may be best. You could say, “I’m going to do a couple of things for you to help you feel better in school.”
If a boy is having trouble making friends, the teacher can help him. The teacher can arrange things so that he has chances to use his abilities to contribute to class projects. This is how the other children learn how to value his good qualities and to like him. A teacher can also raise a child’s popularity in the group by showing that he values that child. It even helps to put him in a seat next to a very popular child, or let him be a partner with that child in activities, etc.
There are things that parents can do at home, too. Be friendly when your child brings others home to play. Encourage him to invite friends to meals and then serve the dishes they consider “super”. When you plan trips, picnics, movies, and other shows, invite another child with whom your child wants to be friends.
What you can do is to give him a chance to join a group that may be shutting him out. Then, if he has good qualities, he can start to build real friendship of his own.
68. A child who has been informed of being “uncool” may ______.
A. care nothing about it B. do something uncool on purpose
C. develop a sense of anger D. pretend to get hurt very much
69. A teacher can help an unpopular child by ______.
A. seeing the child as the teacher’s favorite
B. asking the child to do something for partners
C. forcing other children to make friends with the child
D. offering the child chances to show his good qualities
70. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Children don’t care others’ comments on them.
B. It’s only teachers’ work to make children popular.
C. Parents should take their children out for picnic and shows more often.
D. Inviting children’s friends to family activities is good for them to make friends.
71. Which is the best title of the text?
A. How an Unpopular Child Can Be Helped
B. Why Some Children Are Unpopular
C. What Good Qualities Unpopular Children Have
D. Who Care About Unpopular Children
E
Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted. Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand (消费者需要) for environment friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic and metal container are produced, and these are difficult to get rid of.
However, today, more and more consumers are choosing “green” and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these, “Will this shampoo damage the environment?” “Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?”
A recent study showed that two out of five adults now consider the environment safety of a product before they buy it. This means that companies must now change the way they make and sell their products to make sure that they are “green”, that is, friendly to the environment.
Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds. Some supermarkets’ products carry labels (标签) to show that the product is green. Some companies have made producing of clean and safe products their main selling points and emphasize (强调) it in their advertising.
The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business. No longer will the public accept the old attitude of “Buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it.” The public pressure is on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act.
72. It becomes clear from the passage that the driving force (动力) behind the green products is ______.
A. public caring for the environment B. companies’ desire for bigger sales
C. new ways of doing business D. rapid growth of supermarkets
73. Which of the statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Only the productive methods are the cause of the heavy pollution.
B. Manufactures made their products clean with cleaners.
C. In fact, it is the public who made the companies produce green products.
D. Not all the consumers would like green products.
74. The underlined word “it” in the fourth paragraph refers to ______.
A. a selling point B. the company name
C. a great demand for health foods D. the producing of green products
75. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Business and People B. Business Goes Green
C. Shopping Habits Are Changing D. Supermarkets and Green Products

Nowadays, our parents focus on our shortcomings and spend little time discovering our strengths, which makes us very upset. In my opinion, everyone has strengths and weaknesses. During our growth, we certainly make some mistakes, but we do hope our parents can take a positive attitude towards us, which will surely encourage us to carry on through thick and thin. Besides, the correct attitude our parents take towards us will in turn help us take a positive attitude towards life.
作文二
Dear Editor,
My name is Li Hua, a senior middle school student. The other day I happened to read a shocking piece of news. In October, 2014, a wild Asian elephant was killed without mercy in Xishuangbanna, with its tusks taken away. I feel terribly sorry and ashamed of what people did to the animal.
In my opinion, we should attach great importance to wildlife protection. The number of wildlife is decreasing every year and some endangered species have even died out. Protecting wild animals, our friends, means protecting ourselves. It helps keep the balance of nature.
So something must be done for lovely wildlife. Anyone who hunts or kills wildlife should be fined and punished severely. The animal trade is never allowed as well, for when the buying stops, the killing can too. At the same time, every single one of us should shoulder our responsibility to protect the environment.
To live in a better future, let’s work together to help wildlife.

M: But I thought I saw you at the mall last Friday.
W: Yeah, my parents allowed me to go out then. But last Friday, I was also late getting home, and then they were very angry. They said I wasn’t allowed to go out at night for a month.
M: Too bad. What are you going to do tonight, then?
W: Just do some homework, I guess.

W: Today, in the United States, there are special TV news programs for deaf people. The news reporter tells the news in sign language. At the same time, the words appear on the TV screen. The actors don’t use their fingers to spell every word. Sometimes they use hand signs. When they put two hands together, it means “sandwich”. They can make a roof with their hands over their heads when they want to show “house”. Pointing to an actor’s mouth can mean “Quiet”. You can talk to people who are behind windows that are closed. And when you go swimming with your friends, you can have conversations under water.
Yours,
Jack
