三、完形填空（共10小题；每小题1分，共10分）

When I was about twelve years old, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to tell me about my shortcomings (缺点). Week by week her list became   31  : I was very short, and I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, and so on. I tried to stand（忍受）all of these as long as I could.     __32__ , I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears(眼泪) in my eyes.

He listened to me quietly, and then asked, “Are the things that she said true or not? Jane, have you ever   33   what you’re really like? Now you have that girl’s ideas. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are   34  . Pay no attention to (别在意) the other things that she said.”

I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I found that about half of the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t   35  , like being very short, but a good number of them I could. I wanted to change the bad things in me, and for the   36   time I knew something about myself in a very clear way.

I brought the list back to my father. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said, “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself, but sometimes others’ opinions are also important, so you   37   learn how to listen, and not just   38   your ears in anger and feel hurt (受伤害). When something that is said about you is true, you’ll find that it will be   39  to you. Our world is full of people who think that they know you. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to all of them,   40  the truth and do what you think is the right thing to do.” I have remembered my father’s advice at many important moments. I have never had a better piece of advice in my whole life.

International travelers, whether traveling for business or pleasure, will find themselves solo from time to time. Here are a few ways to meet new people and perhaps even get new travel chances.

Make yourself friendly

Be relaxed and polite. Remember to put yourself in social activities. Restaurants, shops and parks are all great places to meet people. If you want to make local friends in a country, stay near the place the locals often visit.

Show your photo album（影集）

Keep a small photo album in your bag when you travel. Photos of family, friends and pets will help your new friends learn more about you and give you things to talk about. They will share their own stories with you, and it will help you learn more about your new friends.

Share something special

Can you help your new friends improve their Chinese? Can you cook a traditional Chinese meal? By sharing your skills, you can have a close friendship with your new friends that they won’t soon forget.

Give some gifts

Many foreigners love Chinese goods but have to pay a lot when buying them in their homeland, so you’d better prepare some gifts such as silks, tea and works of art. They are always popular.

Exchange flats

If you and your new friends get along well, you can give them your information and plan to exchange flats for your next trip. Then you can visit their countries and stay in their houses while they stay in yours. In this way you will improve your friendship and live like a local abroad, but pay less for traveling.

(      ) 47. The underlined word “solo” in the passage means “__________”.

A. free     B. alone        C. worried      D. close

五、任务型阅读（共5小题；每小题1分，共5分）

How can you help yourself learn a new language, such as English? There are several ways to make learning English easier and more interesting.

The first step(步骤) is to feel confident(自信的) about learning English. If you believe that you can learn well, you will learn well. Be patient(耐心的). You don’t have to understand everything all at once. It is natural to make mistakes when you learn something new. We can learn from our mistakes.

The second step is to practice your English. For example, keep a diary or make notes every day. You will be used to writing in English. After a few weeks, you will see that your writing is better. And you must speak English every day. You can practice with your classmates outside class.

    The third step is to keep a record of your language learning. You can write this in your diary. After each class, think about what you did. Did you answer a question correctly? Did you understand something the teacher talked about? Perhaps the lesson was difficult, but you tried to understand it. Write these achievements(成就) in your diary.

You must have confidence about learning English and believe that you can do it. It’s important to practice every day and make a record of your achievements. You will enjoy learning English, and you will have more confidence in yourself.
