Have you ever have a day when everything seemed to go wrong, and nothing seemed to go right? Not too long ago I was having one of those days.I was discouraged, weary, and plain sad.My focus was on me.After all, no one else was experiencing the same trials I was.I expreed my upset state to my mother, hoping for some pity.Instead, she said, “I heard Jamie was having a difficult day too.Why don’t you make her some cookies and take them to her this afternoon?”
I didn’t really want to, but decided that I didn’t want to go back to my other problems just yet.I made the cookies and arranged them on a little plate.Then I made a card with a sunflower on it and wrote a small note of sympathy.That afternoon I dropped by my friend’s house.I went to the door and rang the bell.Soon, Jamie came to the door and looked at me in surprise for the unexpected visit.Before she could say anything I rushed, “I heard you were having a hard day and decided to bring you something.I hope your day goes better.” The look that came over Jamie’s face was one that I could never put into words.It was as if a darkened sky was suddenly lit with the golden rays of the sun;it was as if in that small act, her day was brightened.I got back into the car and for some amazing reason, I felt a lot better myself.That day I experienced the truth that Jamie Barrie attempted to describe, “Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.” 25.Which of the following is the best title for the paage?
A.Sunshine on a Rainy DayB.Discourages by Nothing C.Giving Help to a FriendD.Experience a Cheerle Day 26 The paage is mainly about _________.A.dealing with others when they are angryB.adjusting well the mental conditionC.taking mother’s advice every hourD.enjoying oneself at any time
27.How did Jamie feel when seeing the author’coming?
A.She was surprised and scared.B.She lit up very soon.C.She couldn’t expre herself.D.She poured out all her worries.28.What do you think of the author’s mother?
A.Sympathetic.B.Instructional.C.Willing.D.Selfish.C
The common cold is the world’s most widespread illne, which is plagues(疫病)that flesh receives.The most widespread fallacy(谬误)of all is that colds are caused by cold.They are not.They are caused by viruses paing in from person to person.You catch a cold, and it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever.But they do not.And in isolated arctic regions exporers have reported being free from colds intil coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes.During thr First World War soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches(战壕), cold and wet, showed no increased tendency to catch colds.In the Second World War prisoners at the notorious Auschwitz conxentration camp(奥斯维辛集中营)，naked and starving, were astonished to find that they seldom had colds.At the Common Cold Research Unit England, volunteers took part in experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time.After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be dipped with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in drafty room.Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to echaustion.Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unle a cold virus was actually drooped in hes nose.In the cold we have nothing to do with catching colds, but why are they more frequent in the winter? Despite the most pains-takong esearch, no one has yet found the answer.One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold virused to be paed on.No one has yet tound a cure for the cold.There are drugs and pain suppreors(止痛片)such as aspirin, but all they do is to relieve the symptoms(症状)。29.The writer offeredexamples to support his argument.A.4B.5C.6D.3.30.Arctic explorers may catch colds when.A.they are working in the isolated arctic regions.B.they are writing reports in terribly cold weather
C.they are free from work in the isolated arctic regions.D.they are coming into touch again with the outside world.31.Volunteers taking part in the experiments in the Common Cold Research Unit.A.suffered a lotB.never caught coldsC.often caught coldsD.became very strong

Why is setting goals important? Because goals can help you do, be and experience everything you want in life.Instead of just letting life happen o you, goals allow yourself to make your life happen.Succeful and hapy people have a vision of how their life should be and they set lots of goals(both short-term and long-range)to help them reach their vision.By setting goals you are taking control of your life.It’s like having a map to show you where you want to go.Think of it in this way.There are two drivers.One has a destination in mind(her goal)which is laid out for her on a map.She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns.The other driver has no goal or destination or map.She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver.But she drives aimlely around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas and oil.Which driver do you want to be?
Winners in life set goals and follow through on them.They decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals.Unsucceful people just let life happen by accident.Goals aren’t difficult to set, and they aren’t difficult to reach.It’s up to you to find out what your goals, ideas and visions really are.You are the one who must decide what to pursue and at what direction to aim your life.Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to achieve it.Written goals can be reviewed regularly, and have nore power.Like a cintract(合同)with yourself, they are harder to neglect or forget,Also when you write your goals in a particular way you are able to make yourself continuously aware of situations that will bring you nearer to your goals.32.The author gave the example of two drivers to show.A.the foolishne of the first driverB.the importance of having a map C.the foolishne of the second driverD.the importance of setting goals
33.According to this text, the most important thing in realizing one’s ideal is
to.A.try to be realistic about one’s ability
B.have a clear understanding of what he or she wants in life.C.let others understand him of her first, then work together with him or herD.let others help him or her to make his or her dream come true 34.If people want to reach their goals, they should.A.write down their goals
B.sign a contract with other peopleC.face the difficulties in front of them
D.discu with others and ask for their help 35.If you want to succeed, you must.A.study hardB.have a goal and achieve itC.live happilyD.sleep well

Speaking in public is most people’s least favorite thing.The reason is that we are all afraid of making foods of ourselves..But stop biting your fingernails.Public speaking is easy.It’s just plain talking, and you talk all the time.Although I’m basically shy.(Honest!)I’ve heen making speeches and talking in radio and television for more than 30 years.And I can tell you that public speaking is not a “gift” like musical talent..Here are some of the leons I have learned:
Your audience is going to come away with one or two of your main ideas.One or two..And if you don’t have a clear idea of what you want to say, there’s no way your audience will.— how you are going to open, what major points you want to make and how you’re going to close.When I do a radio or TV piece, I often write the last sentence first.40.A strong close is critical;the last thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember.The standard length of a vaudeville act is usually 12 minutes.If all those performers singing and dancing their hearts out couldn’t go on longer without boring the audience, what makes you think you can?
A.Some people are born to be good at making speech B.Anybody who can talk can speak in public C.Try to relax yourself before making the speech
D.The more important the speech is, the more frightened we become
E.If you can’t expre in a sentence or two what you intend to get acro, then your speech is not focused well enough
F.When you know where you’re headed, you can choose any route to get there
G.No matter how long or short your speech is, you’ve got to ger your ducks in a row 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）
