At this time, a boy approached me. He stood right before me, and said with great excitement, “Look what I found!”‎ In his hand was a flower, and what a pitiful sight, with its petals (花瓣) all worn. Wanting him to take his flower and go off to play, I faked a small smile and then turned to the other side.‎ But instead of leaving, he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and declared, “It really smells pretty and it’s beautiful, too. That’s why I picked it. Here, it’s for you.”‎ The flower before me was dying or dead. But I knew I must take it, or he might never leave. So I reached for the flower, and replied, “Just what I need.”‎ But instead of placing the flower in my hand, he held it in mid-air. It was then that I noticed that the boy was blind.‎ I heard my voice quiver (轻微颤抖), and at the same time my tears shone like the sun. As I thanked him for picking the very best one, he smiled and said, “You’re welcome.” And then he ran off to play, unaware of the impact he’d had on me.‎ I sat there and wondered how he managed to see a self-pitying woman beneath an old willow ‎ tree. Perhaps from his heart, he’d been blessed with true sight.‎ Through the eyes of the blind boy, I could see the problem was not with the world; the problem was me. And for all of those times I had been blind. From now on I vowed to see beauty and appreciate every second that’s mine. Then I held the flower up to my nose and breathed its fragrance and smiled as that young boy.‎ ‎25.

When WABC asked Freed to sign a statement swearing that he had never taken bribes, he refused and was fired. Although he later signed such a statement for WNEW-TV, he lost his television show as well. ‎ Finding himself unwelcome in New York, Freed fled to the West Coast, where he managed to land a daytime disc jockey (流行音乐播音员) job at KDAY in Los Angeles in 1960. Legal problems continued to bother him, though, and he was charged with taking bribes of more than $30,000 from a number of record companies. Publicly, Freed denied that he had ever accepted direct bribes, although he acknowledged that he had accepted gifts from record companies, but only for playing records that he was certain would become hits anyway. After a short time at KDAY, he left when the station management refused to let him promote his live rock ‘n’ roll shows. He returned to New York, but not as a broadcaster. At the height of the great enthusiasm for the twist dance, he hosted a Manhattan twist revue (时事讽刺剧), but when this enthusiasm cooled, he found a disc jockey job at WQAM in Miami in 1962. During this difficult period, Freed began drinking heavily and lost his job in Miami after only two months. In December of 1962 he was found guilty in New York of two charges of commercial bribery and was given a six-month sentence and fined $300. This effectively ended his career.‎ Freed spent the last years of his life in Palm Springs, California. Although he had redefined what it meant to be a disc jockey and named the music that had become an anthem (圣歌) for the world’s youth, he was a disgraced (耻辱的) and broken man, no longer able to work in the business he loved. On January 20, 1965, he died in a hospital in Palm Springs.‎ ‎29. Why was Freed fired by WABC?‎ ‎ A. Because he took bribes. ‎ ‎ B. Because he swore he didn’t take bribes.‎ ‎ C. Because he refused to admit taking bribes.‎ ‎ D. Because he refused to make a statement as WABC required.‎ ‎30. According to Freed, he accepted the gifts from record companies only when _______.‎ ‎ A. the gifts were not valuable ‎ B. the gifts had no connection with playing records ‎ C. the records he was asked to play were very famous ‎ D. the records he was asked to play would surely become popular ‎31. What can we learn from the passage?‎ ‎ A. Freed didn’t take bribes at all.‎ ‎ B. Freed showed no talent for music.‎ ‎ C. Freed had made contributions in his career.‎ ‎ D. KDAY fired Freed because of his addiction to alcohol.‎ D At any discussion of a job offer, money can be a deal breaker. Negotiating an attractive deal, however, can be hard for many job candidates because they lack the necessary skills or simply because they’re too concerned that pushing for a high salary can cost them the job.‎ These factors certainly can be hurdles (障碍), but it doesn’t mean that you give up trying to get the best deal you can get. Needless to say, if money isn’t a big factor in your decision, you still need to make sure that the deal you’re accepting is fair compared to what’s offered in the market. Selling yourself short once can impact your future salaries and set you back financially.‎ Here are common mistakes that many jobseekers commit in negotiating money.‎ Negotiate too early. Timing is of essence in any negotiation, and negotiating a salary too early in the process can cost you dearly. Many employers, in fact, rank this as one of the biggest mistakes job candidates make. The best timing to begin a salary discussion is after you and your future employer are nearly sure that you’ve been selected for the position.‎ Abandon professionalism. It’s common that people, after going through a long recruitment process, can be shocked that the salary offered is significantly below their expectations. If you find yourself in this situation, don’t abandon your professional attitude or throw a fit. This likely will get you nowhere except the door.‎ There’re two options to this situation: the first is that the employer is inflexible (不灵活的) about the budget, and in this case, you may just leave and make a graceful exit from the hiring process.‎ The second option is that there’s some negotiation room for the hiring manager with other decision makers in the organization. If this is the case, you may be surprised that a final push with a positive attitude and a well-delivered presentation about your skills and market price can get you closer to your expected salary. Still, if this is not acceptable, you don’t have to take it.‎ ‎32. According to Para. 1, the discussion of money for most jobseekers is _______.‎ ‎ A. too difficult to handle B. the first necessary step ‎ C. in need of certain skills D. a good chance to get a job ‎33. What does the underlined part “Selling yourself short” in Para. 2 mean?‎ ‎ A. Solving big problems. B. Asking for a low salary.‎ ‎ C. Looking for an ideal job. D. Accepting a boring job.‎ ‎34. What should you do if you are offered an unsatisfactory salary?‎ ‎ A. Ask for a higher salary. ‎ ‎ B. Immediately give up the job.‎ ‎ C. Just calm down and figure out the situation.‎ ‎ D. Try to prove you are the best candidate for the job.‎ ‎35. What is the main purpose of the passage?‎ ‎ A. To help people perform well in job interviews.‎ ‎ B. To tell common mistakes in our daily work.‎ ‎ C. To help employees get along well with their employers.‎ ‎ D. To offer tips on salary negotiation.‎ 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。‎ Having a shy style isn’t necessarily a problem. It’s OK to take time to warm up to new people and situations. 36 Some people want to feel less shy so they can enjoy socializing and being themselves around others. Here are some tips on overcoming shy feelings. ‎ ‎● 37 Practice social behaviors like eye contact, confident body language, introductions, small talk, asking questions, and invitations with people you feel most comfortable around. Smile and build your confidence. ‎ ‎● Think of some conversation starters. Often the hardest part of talking to someone new is getting started. Think of conversation openers, like introducing yourself, giving a compliment (赞美), or asking a question. 38 ‎ ‎● Rehearse (排练) what to say. When you are ready to try something you’ve been avoiding because of shyness — like a phone call or a conversation, write down what you want to say. Read it out loud in front of a mirror. Then just do your social activities. 39 Few of the things that more confident people do are perfect, either. ‎ ‎● Give yourself a chance. 40 Practice socializing with these new people and get to know them slowly. People who are shy often worry about failing or how others will judge them.‎ ‎ Don’t let these worries and feelings keep you from trying.‎ A. Start small with people you know. ‎ B. Then you can start smiling and saying “hello” in real life.‎ C. One of the best ways to get over shyness is to believe in yourself.‎ D. Find group activities where you can be with people who share your interests.‎ E. Being ready with a conversation starter makes it easier to approach someone.‎ F. Don’t worry if they’re not exactly like you have practiced or they’re not perfect.‎ G. But shyness prevents some people from being as comfortable as they’d like to be.‎ 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，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和 D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 ‎ Hiking through the mountains of Colorado was never my plan.

Do you think it was reasonably? In my opinion, even if one wants to celebrate Halloween, then he or she should go to the US. I love Halloween, and it doesn’t mean I want China to adopt the tradition, and I wouldn’t ask for so a thing. I don’t know about the origin in Halloween, but to me, it was not important.
