I met Mrs. Neidl in the ninth grade on a stage-design team for a play and she was one of the directors. Almost instantly I loved her. She had an Unpleasant voice and a direct way of speaking, 36 she was encouraging and inspiring. For some reason, she was impressed with my work and me.
Mrs. Neidl would ask me for my 37 . She wanted to know how I thought we should 38 things. At first I had no idea how to answer because I knew 39 about stage design! But I slowly began to respond to her 40 . It was cause and effect: She believed I had opinions, so I began to 41 them. She trusted me to complete things, so I completed them perfectly. She loved how 42 I was, so I began to show up to paint more and more. She believed in me, so I began to believe in myself.
Mrs. Neidl's 43 that year was, "Try it. We can always paint over it 44 !"I began to take 45 . I had been so afraid of failing but suddenly there was no failing--only things to be 46 upon. I learned to dip my brush into the paint and 47 create something.
The shy, quiet freshman achieved success that year. I was 48 in the program
as "Student Art Assistant" because of the time and effort I'd put in. It was that year that I 49 I wanted to spend the rest of my life doing stage design.
Being on that stage-design team 50 Mrs. Neidl changed me completely. Not only was I stronger and more competent than I had thought, but I also 51 a strong interest and a world I hadn't known existed. She taught me not to 52 what people think I should do: She taught me to take chances and not be 53 . Mrs. Neidl was my comforter when I was upset. Her 54 in me has inspired me to do things that I never imagined 55 .

36.B考察連詞及句子理解。前面unpleasant voice 和 direct way of speaking是消極意向,后面encouraging 和 inspiring是積極意向,因此需填轉(zhuǎn)折連詞,四個選項中A表并列,C表結(jié)果,D表原因,只有B選項yet表轉(zhuǎn)折。
37.A 考察名詞及篇章理解。第二段第二句話“她想知道我認為我們該怎樣處理事情”直接提示了這個空應該選觀點opinion這個詞. 第二段倒數(shù)第四句話中也出現(xiàn)了這個詞從而驗證了其正確性。B. impression 印象、C. information 信息、D. intention 意圖均不符合題意。
38.C 考察動詞及篇章理解。根據(jù)文章主線選擇“處理”事情?季V要求考生掌握handle 的兩種意思,名詞是“柄、把”,動詞是“處理”,這里考察后者。A, 做、創(chuàng)造 B 保持 D改變 均不符題意。
39.D 考察代詞及句子理解。開始我不知如何回答是因為我對舞臺設計“一無所知”。 know nothing about sth 對某事一無所知。
40.A 考察名詞及篇章理解。解題關鍵詞是本句的 ”respond 回答、響應”, 線索是第二段第一句中的 “ask 提問”及第四句中的“answer 回答”, 因此這里填 “question 問題”這個詞。BD選項是評論,C是解釋,不符題意。
41.D 考察動詞及篇章理解。本句的them指代opinions 。form opinion形成觀點 。hold opinion持有某種觀點,form 是個變化的狀態(tài),hold是個持續(xù)的狀態(tài),根據(jù)文意推斷作者開始并沒有觀點,由于她相信我有觀點所以我形成了觀點,強調(diào)形成這個過程,另外Begin to后接有變化感的詞,故選form不選hold. B. follow 遵照,C .evaluate評估與題意差別較大。
42.C 考察形容詞及句子理解。解題線索在后半句 “so I began to show up to paint more and more ” 作者做的事情變多是Mrs. Neidl信任的結(jié)果,說明我是個可信賴(reliable)的人,C選項符合題意。其他三個選項happy 高興的 lively活潑的和 punctual 準時的都不能表達出這種合理的因果關系。另外迷惑性較大的lively通常用來形容物。
43. B考察名詞及句子理解。引號里是一句鼓勵性質(zhì)的話,而且前面“that year”也是線索,說明這話是她的motto座右銘。迷惑性較大的C選項saying是諺語的意思,往往是人們長期形成的對生活及經(jīng)驗的總結(jié),強調(diào)群體性及時間性,故不合適,message 信息,suggestion 建議,不合題意。
44.D 考察副詞及篇章理解。本題難度較大,解題關鍵詞是介詞“over”,表覆蓋。選擇later 可以理解為“如果沒有畫好,稍后可以再畫一次覆蓋在之前的畫上! more更多, Instead 代替, 不合題意。迷惑性最大的是again.表示“再一次、又一次”但是放在這里與over意思重復,paint over it later相當于 paint it again, 故不選A。
45.D 考察名詞及篇章理解。take risks 固定搭配,冒險。通讀全文發(fā)現(xiàn)作者是開始很不自信,第四段開頭也提示了作者“shy” ,“quiet”,因此動筆畫畫對他來說是個冒險,是自我突破的過程,文章最后一段也提到了take chances冒險,因此選D。take steps是采取措施、步驟的意思,與文章主題不搭,control 和 charge 都有控制的意思,不合題意。
46.A 考察動詞及句子理解。Improve upon 改進。線索是本段開頭的座右銘“試試吧,我們永遠可以重畫一次!币虼瞬淮嬖谑,只存在改進。Act upon按照、對…起作用,look upon 看待、考慮,reflect upon 考慮、回顧,均不符題意。
47.C 考察副詞及篇章理解。本段主要描寫了作者從不敢做到敢做的過程,根據(jù)前文提示作者曾很不自信,后來在Mrs. Neidl的鼓勵下自信地拿起了畫筆,因此選confidently. A easily 容易的。作者超越自我的過程并不容易。B carefully 小心地。創(chuàng)作并不是個小心翼翼的過程。D Proudly 驕傲地。文章中沒有任何體現(xiàn)。
48.B 考察動詞。Be recognized as“被公認為、被承認”。 Introduce 介紹、引入,be identified as“ 被確定是”,有驗證身份的意思,be considered as “被認為、被當作”。其中 be recognize as 有“被大家承認、被普遍接受”的意思,表意更準確。
49.C 考察動詞。解題關鍵詞是“want ”。作者意識到自己想要的是什么,所以用realized. 迷惑項是decided 決定?梢哉f決定要什么,但不可以說決定想什么,因為想法是不可控制的。Confirm 證實 acknowledge 承認,與題意差別較大。
50.A 考察介詞。Being with sb 與某人在一起。這里不能選of是因為全文第一句話,Mrs. Neidl是“ one of the directors”,所以不能說是她的團隊。Below 和 by 搭配錯誤。
51.B 考察動詞。發(fā)現(xiàn)了一項愛好和一個未知的世界,選discovered. 迷惑項是developed , 這個詞可以與interest 連用表示形成了某種愛好,但是不可以與world連用表示“形成一個未知世界,”故排除。Take interest 取利,foster 培養(yǎng),均不合適。
52.B 考察動詞及篇章理解。“她教會我不要去在乎別人認為我該怎么做”,care 在乎,符合文意。Accept 接受,judge 判斷 ,wonder 懷疑 均不合文意。
53.D 考察形容詞及句意理解。Be afraid害怕。前面說Take chance 冒險,后面理所當然說不要怕(失。,而且前文反復出現(xiàn)了afraid 這個詞,是全篇的關鍵詞。Bored 無聊的,lazy 懶惰的,sad 傷心的,在文中均無體現(xiàn)。
54.A 考察名詞及篇章理解。Trust 信任。通讀全文會發(fā)現(xiàn)文中多次提到Mrs. Neidl對作者的信任,并在第三段明確使用了trust這個詞,因此推斷出答案。Patience 耐心,curiosity好奇心,interest興趣,文中均無體現(xiàn)。
55.C考察形容詞及篇章理解!八龑ξ业男湃渭钗彝瓿梢郧罢J為不可能的事情”, “never imagined possible” 等于 “imagined impossible.” 認為不可能的,貼合文意。Accessible 容易取得的 enjoyable 有趣的 favorable 有利的贊同的 均不合文意。

Goldie's Secret
She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent her away. No way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. "We're moving house.'; "No space for her any more with the baby coming." "We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? She was a present." People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.
I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have given
her a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner's. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down. Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire.
That's why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and getting very restless. Eventually I couldn't hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.
By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking (舔) the four puppies (幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them. "We didn't know what had happened to her," said the woman at the door. "I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just disappeared." "She must have tried to come back to them and got lost," added a boy from behind her. '
I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I've got Nugget now, and she looks just like her mother. And I've learnt a good lesson: not to judge people.
56. How did the author feel about Goldie when Goldie came to the house?
A. Shocked. B. Sympathetic. C. Annoyed. D. Upset.
57. In her first few days at the author's house, Goldie .
AI felt worried B. was angry

Open Letter to an Editor
I had an interesting conversation with a reporter recently---one who works for you. In fact, he's one of your best reporters. He wants to leave.
Your reporter gave me a copy of his resume (簡歷) and photocopies of six stories that he wrote for you. The headlines showed you played them proudly. With great enthusiasm, he talked about how he finds issues (問題), approaches them, and writes about them, which tells me he is one of your best. I'm sure you would hate to lose him. Surprisingly, your reporter is not unhappy. In fact, he told me he really likes his job. He has a great assignment (分工), and said you run a great paper. It would be easy for you to keep him, he said. He knows that the paper values him. He appreciates the responsibility you've given him, takes ownership of his profession, and enjoys his freedom.
So why is he looking for a way out?
He talked to me because he wants his editors to demand so much more of him. He wants to be pushed, challenged, coached to new heights.
The reporter believes that good stories spring from good questions, but his editors usually ask how long the story will be, when it will be in, where it can play, and what the budget is.
He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas into great ones. He wants someone to get excited about what he's doing and to help him turn his story idea upside down and inside out, exploring the best ways to report it. He wants to be more valuable for your paper. That's what you want for him, too, isn't it?
So your reporter has set me thinking.
Our best hope in keeping our best reporters, copy editors, photographers, artists---everyone--is to work harder to make sure they get the help they are demanding to reach their potential. If we can't do it, they'll find someone who can.
60. What does the writer think of the reporter?
A. Optimistic. B. Imaginative. C. Ambitious. D. Proud.
61. What does the reporter want most from his editors in their talks?
A. Finding the news value of his stories. B. Giving him financial support.
C. Helping him to find issues. D. Improving his good ideas.
62. Who probably wrote the letter?
A. An editor. B. An artist. C. A reporter. D. A reader.
63. The letter aims to remind editors that they should __
A. keep their best reporters at all costs
B. give more freedom to their reporters
C. be aware of their reporters' professional development
D. appreciate their reporters' working styles and attitudes

Pacing and Pausing
Sara tried to befriend her old friend Steve's new wife, but Betty never seemed to have anything to say. While Sara felt Betty didn't hold up her end of the conversation, Betty complained to Steve that Sara never gave her a chance to talk. The problem had to do with expectations about pacing and pausing.
Conversation is a turn-taking game. When our habits are similar, there's no problem. But if our habits are different, you may start to talk before I'm finished or fail to take your turn when I'm finished. That's what was happening with Betty and Sara.
It may not be coincidental that Betty, who expected relatively longer pauses between turns, is British, and Sara, who expected relatively shorter pauses, is American. Betty often felt interrupted by Sara. But Betty herself became an interrupter and found herself doing most of the talking when she met a visitor from Finland. And Sara had a hard time cutting in on some speakers from Latin America or Israel.
The general phenomenon, then, is that the small conversation techniques, like pacing and pausing, lead people to draw conclusions not about conversational style but about personality and abilities. These habitual differences are often the basis for dangerous stereotyping (思維定式). And these social phenomena can have very personal consequences. For example, a woman from the southwestern part of the US went to live in an eastern city to take up a job in personnel. When the Personnel Department got together for meetings, she kept searching for the right time to break in--and never found it. Although back home she was considered outgoing and confident, in Washington she was viewed as shy and retiring. When she was evaluated at the end of the year, she was told to take a training course because of her inability to speak up.
That's why slight differences in conversational style--tiny little things like microseconds of pause-can have a great effect on one's life. The result in this case was a judgment of psychological problems---even in the mind of the woman herself, who really wondered what was wrong with her and registered for assertiveness training.
64. What did Sara think of Betty when talking with her?
A. Betty was talkative.
B. Betty was an interrupter.
C. Betty did not take her turn.
D. Betty paid no attention to Sara.
65. According to the passage, who are likely to expect the shortest pauses between turns?
A. Americans. B. Israelis. C. The British. D. The Finns.
66. We can learn from the passage that __
A. communication breakdown results from short pauses and fast pacing
B. women are unfavorably stereotyped in eastern cities of the US
C. one's inability to speak up is culturally determined sometimes
D. one should receive training to build up one's confidence
67. The underlined word "assertiveness" in the last paragraph probably means __
A. being willing to speak one's mind
B. being able to increase one's power
C. being ready to make one's own judgment
D. being quick to express one's ideas confidently
