Probably because of this I hadn't shaved for a few days. Also, because I had been doing some repairs at my daughter's house, I was dressed quite scruffily. Boarding the bus to go home, I saw it was almost full so I found a rail(扶手) to lean against.‎ That's when a young woman, sitting with her child, stood up and offered me her seat."Wow!" I thought. Out loud I said, "Do I look that old and tired7" She replied," You look like you've had a tough day." I thanked her sincerely and stayed standing.‎ ‎ A moment later a man rose from his seat at the back of the bus and made his way towards me, squeezing past several people on the way. Then he told me about his addiction problems, asked my advice, and just chatted about life for a few minutes. Then he went back to his seat. Very random! ‎ Watching him go, I also looked at the bus-load of people between me and his seat. He hadn't chosen to talk to those strangers. He chose to talk to this stranger, for whatever it meant to him and whatever comfort it brought him. Why? ‎ ‎ That's when it occurred to me. I must have Looked Like I had been where he was. I probably looked like a man who would understand a difficult life. I was humbled and uplifted at the same time by the realization that even when we are at our lowest, we can still help others-if we look like we might be able to meet them where they live or walk a while in their world. ‎ ‎25. We can learn from Paragraph l that the writer______‎ A. didn't stay at home every day B. got along well with his daughter C. helped people that he knew well D. fixed something at his daughter's ‎26. Why did the young woman offer her seat to the writer?‎ A. Because she thought the writer looked very old.‎ ‎ B. Because the writer looked very friendly.‎ ‎ C. Because the writer looked exhausted.‎ ‎ D. Because the writer looked humorous.‎ ‎27. What can we learn about the man from the third paragraph?‎ A. He lacks confident in life. B. He maybe takes drugs heavily.‎ ‎ C. He felt familiar with the writer. D. He was an acquaintance of the writer.‎ ‎28. The underlined words "this stranger" in Paragraph 4 probably refer to "_______ ".‎ A. the writer B. the driver C. one passenger D. the young woman C Back in 2003 an 86-year-old man drove his Buick through a crowded farmers’ market. Nine people were killed. More than fifty-four people were hurt, fourteen with serious injuries. When he finally stopped, the 86-year-old man got out his car and screamed at people to get out of the way. No alcohol or drugs were found in his system. Apparently, he was just old and confused.‎ This is a frightening accident, and it is not a rare one. There are many examples of elderly drivers driving into swimming pools, houses, storefronts, or worse.‎ In our teenage years, we all heard “driving is not a right; it’s a privilege.” That is still true, and there comes an age when driving is no longer a privilege that can be allowed. After a certain age, eyesight and dementia(痴呆) are very serious concerns. Undoubtedly, these age-related problems affect some older adults’ driving ability. By the time a person is between eighty-five and ninety years old, his or her driving privilege should be examined.‎ Licensing laws vary greatly from state to state, and it’s time for a national law on the maximum age limit for driving. The motivation for this law is safety. Another option is to start with laws that ban anyone over the age of eighty-five from driving after sundown, because driving conditions are not as safe as daylight hours. Still another option that may allow elderly drivers to continue driving could be new technology like a voice warning system that cautions drivers on busy streets or at traffic lights. Finally, since there are laws against driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, shouldn’t some prescription drugs also be included? The average age of 85-year-old is undoubtedly taking at least one prescription drug daily.‎ The thought of an 86-year-old driver with failing eyesight running down the road in a two-ton piece of metal is unsettling to us all. Driving at an advanced age is not only challenging for the elderly drivers, but also it’s dangerous for the rest of us.‎ ‎29. The first paragraph is written in order to show_________.‎ A. the harm of driving at an old age B. the importance of traffic safety C. traffic accidents are on the rise D. many elderly drivers are careless ‎30. The author suggests that there should be new laws against driving __________.‎ A. over eighty-five B. between sunset and dawn C. with the help of voice warning systems D. under the influence of prescription drugs ‎31. The underlined word “unsettling” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “_________”.‎ A. disappointing B. worrying C. touching D. interesting ‎32. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?‎ A. How to keep old people safe on the road?‎ B. Are drivers well protected by licensing laws?‎ C. Should there be an age limit for elderly drivers?‎ D. Is driving a right or a privilege for an old person?‎ D ‎ When it comes to success in business and success in life, there are few qualities as important as confidence．‎ ‎ People naturally have different levels of confidence．Some have a higher level of confidence than others do, but even those whose confidence is lacking can learn to build their level of confidence and reach their most important goals．Increasing self confidence is one of the most ‎ common reasons people give for seeking the help of psychologists and other professionals．‎ ‎ One of the many places where a greater level of confidence is useful is in the workplace．We all know how difficult it can be, for instance, to ask the boss for a raise．This process can be extremely difficult for those who lack confidence in their own abilities．After all, if you are unsure about your own abilities, how will you ever convince your boss that you deserve more money for the work you do?‎ ‎ Even if you are not asking for that big raise, having plenty of confidence in your abilities is important to success．If you are certain of your abilities, chances are that those around you, whether they are your coworkers, your colleagues or your superiors, will see that confidence, and that will help to assure them that you are the best at what you do．‎ ‎ Being thought of as the person to go to, and being seen as an expert in your chosen field, is naturally very important to success on the job．If you can make yourself the person people go to for guidance and advice, you will help to protect yourself from the ever present danger of downsizing（裁员）．After all, if you are a recognized expert at the office, you will be regarded as an indispensable member of the team．‎ ‎ Having a high level of confidence, after all, does not mean overlooking the places where you could improve．Knowing what you do well and where you need help will help you enjoy increased success and confidence．‎ ‎33. What is the passage mainly about?‎ A．The influence of confidence on one's life.‎ B．The difference of people's confidence.‎ C．The importance of confidence to success.‎ D．The judgment on one's confidence.‎ ‎34. Psychologists and other professionals can offer help to those ______．‎ A．who dream to be recognized experts B．who expect to give guidance to others C．who want to ask the boss for a raise D．who think their goals are hard to reach ‎35. What message does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?‎ A．To overlook one's disadvantages．‎ B．To make full use of one's advantages．‎ C．To have great confidence in one's abilities．‎ D．To make objective evaluations of one's abilities．‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Nowadays, in an ever tighter job market, great importance has been attached to an interview by both the employer and the applicant.   36  On the one hand, the interviewer can take advantage of the occasion to learn about the candidates, such as their work experiences, education and their personalities, so as to pick out the right candidates for the company.   37  .　　‎ Important as it is, the job interview is far from fearful. Well begun, half done.   38  . But how can one succeed in it?‎ First of all, the interviewee has to pay attention to his or her appearance.  39  . Secondly, good manners are equally important. The interviewee has to be neither too proud nor too shy. Just ‎ be courteous (谦恭的). Thirdly, the interviewee must express himself clearly and confidently when showing his talents and skills for the job and knowledge about the job-related areas. Last but not least, the interviewee ought to be honest about his or her personal as well as academic background, for honesty is the best policy.‎ To sum up, the job interview is indeed important.   40   If the interviewee has made full preparations for it and given a fairly confident and honest performance, his or her success can be ensured.‎ A. If you want better results on your job interviews, follow the steps below.‎ B. However, there is no need to be nervous.‎ C. The interview, so to speak, has become quite necessary for getting a satisfactory job.‎ D. Practicing speaking confidently in front of people is helpful to your job interview.‎ E. Though we can never judge a person by his appearance, the first impression is always where we start.‎ F. On the other hand, the interviewee can make use of the opportunity to get to know the job he is going to take up, and the working conditions as well.‎ G. Excellent performance in it will enable the would-be employee to get the job successfully.‎ 第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1. 5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ He came on stage and bent to the audience before he began his performance.

Perhaps that is the 56 of life — not just for artists but for all of us. He had 57 all his life to make music on a violin of four strings, but 58 , in the middle of a concert, he found himself with only three strings; so he made music with three strings, and the music he made that night was more 59 , and more memorable.‎ So, perhaps our  60  on the stage of life is to make music, at first with all that we have, and then, when that is no longer possible, to make music with what we have left.‎ ‎41. A. shame                         B. pleasure              C. privilege             D. achievement ‎42. A. stricken                      B. suffered             C. survived             D. impacted ‎43. A. while                          B. before                C. unless           D. although ‎44. A. nothing                       B. everything          C. something          D. anything ‎45. A. lost                           B. bent                   C. broke                 D. stretched ‎46. A. Instead                      B. However            C. Therefore           D. Moreover ‎47. A. ordered                       B. signaled              C. prevented           D. promised ‎48. A. pride                          B. despair               C. passion              D. stress ‎49. A. strange                 B. probable             C. important           D. impossible ‎50. A. seemed              B. refused               C. pretended           D. attempted ‎51. A. anger                         B. laughter              C. scream               D. applause ‎52. A. wept                           B. smiled                C. sighed                D. whispered ‎53. A. find out           B. show off       C. get through        D. turn out ‎54. A. just                         B. even                   C. still                    D. yet ‎55. A. note                         B. figure                 C. impression        D. line ‎56. A. routine                        B. definition            C. adventure           D. incident ‎57. A. prepared                     B. devoted             C. scheduled           D. accustomed ‎58. A. naturally                B. generally             C. suddenly         D. hopelessly ‎59.
