When I met him, I had a lot of anger inside of me. I’ve lived my whole life in Spanish Harlem, but in my neighborhood, there are shoot-ups all the time. I know kids who have been shot (枪击) or beaten up. I have friends who ended up in prison. I could have ended up that way, too, but Mr. Clark wouldn’t let that happen.

Mr. Clark worked long hours, making sure I did my work. My grades rose. In fact, the scores of our whole class rose. One day, he took our class to see The Phantom of the Opera, and it was the first time some kids had ever been out of Harlem. Before the show, he treated (招待) us to dinner at a restaurant and taught us not to talk with our mouths full. We did not want to let him down.

Mr. Clark was selected (选拔) as Disney’s 2000 Teacher of the Year. He said he would draw three names (抽签) out of a hat: those students would go with him to Los Angles to get the award (奖品). But when the time came to draw names, Mr. Clark said, “You’re all going.”

On graduation day, there were a lot of tears. We didn’t want his class to end. In 2001, he moved to Atlanta, but he always kept in touch. He started giving lectures about education, and wrote a best-selling book based on his classroom rules, The Essential 55. In 2003, Mr. Clark took some of us on a trip to South Africa to deliver school supplies and visit orphanages (孤儿院). It was the most amazing experience of my life. It’s now my dream to one day start a group of women’s clubs, helping people from all backgrounds.

4．How many students finally went to Los Angles with Mr. Clark?

A．None B．Three C．Fifty-five D．All

5．The Essential 55 is ___________.

A．a show B．a book C．a classroom rule D．a speech

6．Without Mr. Clark, the writer___________.

A．might not have won the prize

B．might have joined a women’s club

C．might have been put into prison

D．might not have moved to Atlanta

7．What is the writer’s attitude(态度) towards Mr. Clark?

A．He thinks highly of Mr. Clark.

B．He looks down upon Mr. Clark.

C．He doesn’t show his attitude towards Mr. Clark.

D．He takes a neutral(中立的) attitude towards Mr. Clark.

C

Moving to a foreign country is an amazing, life-changing experience. It’s an opportunity to meet new people, make yourself completely involved in a different culture and possibly learn another language. However, before embarking on such an adventure, there are some practical decisions that need to be made. One such decision is choosing where to live.

For me, choosing to live with a French family was the best choice I made, and here are the reasons.

Firstly, a family can show you around the city or town and help you settle in, stopping you from feeling lonely. When you’re in new surroundings with people you don’t know and who are speaking a language you’re still not fluent in, you might feel lost, tired and homesick—I know I did. However, my host family are wonderful and welcoming; they showed me which buses to take to get to work, cooked dinner for me, and took me with them on trips to the beach, the theatre and even a bullring. These were great opportunities to experience French culture and build relationships, which in turn helped me feel at home and welcome.

Moreover, living with French people has been beneficial to helping me improve my language skills. Being constantly exposed to authentic French conversation has allowed me to learn new phrases, widen my vocabulary and even improve my accent. My host family are happy to answer my questions and correct me when I say things wrong, which makes me a better and more confident French speaker.

Finally, the experience of living abroad is one that you will remember forever, and perhaps the friendships—like the memories—will also last. Your host family might become your friends for life. You might return for their birthdays, weddings, holidays, and many more things. I sincerely hope to remain in contact with my host family long after I leave France because when I was away from my friends and loved ones, they welcomed me and made me part of their family.

8．What does the underlined phrase “embarking on” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A．Remarking on. B．Setting about.

C．Depending on D．Writing down.

9．Where did the writer choose to live when moving to a foreign country?

A．In a dormitory. B．In his own apartment.

C．In a host family. D．In his friend’s house.

10．What is the advantage of living with French people for the writer?

A．Improving his French skills.

B．Feeling homesick and lonely.

C．Making friends from different countries.

D．Introducing English culture to the French.

11．How does the writer develop the passage?

A．By making comparisons.

B．By following the order of time.

C．By following the order of importance.

D．By listing detailed reasons.

D

Suppose you are out shopping and come across an old friend who starts telling you a story that seems to be dragging on and on. You want to seem interested, so you offer the occasional “Oh” or “I see”. To your surprise, though, this person angrily stops and says, “Sorry if I’m boring you!”

Where did this come from? Clearly, your body language must have let out your inner feelings. The idea that verbal (口头的) and nonverbal messages can conflict was the inspiration for a recently published study from Yale University’s Lueylle Armentano.

To test the role of verbal-nonverbal mismatch on emotional communication, Armentano and her partner created experimental conditions to see what happens when someone asks for help from strangers. The research team created videotapes of a fellow Yale student expressing nervousness in his words, bodily gestures, or both. The bodily gestures included running his hands through his hair, grabbing his arm, and facially expressing uneasiness. The key question was whether the other participants, another 82 Yale students, would believe the student and provide the help he was requesting. They needed to give their responses.

Turning to the findings, those nonverbal cues (提示) of nervousness had a greater impact on helping behavior than the verbal cues. Surprisingly, helping behavior was the highest when verbal expressions of nervousness were low but nonverbal cues were high.

Recognizing that your body language can outweigh your words means that you need to be mindful of what your body is doing when you’re interacting with others. Generally, when someone is speaking to you, you want to look like you’re interested. Not only should you maintain eye contact, but you should keep your body still and face toward the other person.

12．What is the main idea of paragraph 1?

A．The obvious advantages of body language.

B．The proper way to interact with old friends.

C．A situation where body language is necessary.

D．An example of the conflict of verbal and nonverbal messages.

13．What was the task of the 82 Yale students ?

A．Try to win the nervous student’s trust.

B．Respond to the nervous student’s request.

C．Identify the types of body language.

D．Express nervousness in their words.

14．What would probably win kindness from strangers?

A．Nonverbal cues of nervousness B．Good manners in front of others.

C．Sincere verbal expressions. D．Positive attitude to nervousness.

15．What is the purpose of the writer in the last paragraph?

A．Give some warnings. B．Present some facts.

C．Offer suggestions. D．Make a prediction

The Gift of Kindness

Will, a nine-year-old boy, was such a kind person that he brought home birds with broken wings. Money was very short for his family because his mother was ill. Every weekend, Will would mow his neighbors lawns to earn a little money.

One hot dry morning, on his way to school, Will saw a man sitting on the roadside with his head in his hands. Not far away was his truck. Previously, the man spared no efforts in repairing it, but he failed, exhausted and thirsty. Will came up to him, ready to help.

Hearing Will’s greeting, the man raised his head, looked at Will and asked for some water. Learning that he had even not had breakfast, Will walked into a shop, fingering the money in his pocket. Eventually, he picked up sandwiches and water. They cost all his money! He shrugged, walked back and handed him the food.

The man received the supplies gratefully and they shared the brief meal while introducing themselves. Allan, a boss with a small factory who delivered goods by himself, smiled,” The delivering job is so tiring that nobody seems to want it. By the way, thank you for your food. I’m sorry that I forget to take money with me today. I’ll.”

“It’s OK. My mom always says we should be kind to the world, and the world will be kind to you!” Will shrugged, “As for the job, don’t worry. There must be someone wanting to take it.”

“Perhaps. Today, I feel kindness in the world like your mom says. Maybe she is the one the world has been kind to.” Allan commented.

Will lowered his head, explaining quietly his mother’s situation and his father’s just being out of work because of the bankrupt of the company. Will pointed at a house. “My dad says we’ll have to sell it to pay for mom’s treatment. Sometimes, I hope the world could be kind to our family soon.” Tears rolled down Will’s cheeks and Allan patted his back gently. But soon, Will wiped his face, shouldered his school bag, waved goodbye to Allan and rushed for school, never imagining he would see Allan ever again.

Allan stared at Will’s fading figure, lost in thought.

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

After school, Will saw the truck parked in front of his house.

46．Dear Tony,

You wrote that you’ve met a lot of challenges at senior high school recently, which makes you lay sleepless until dawn. I understand quite well that you are confused and feel terrible. You think you have to study harder and it is very difficult to finish all the homework. I’m writing to give you some advice.

I recommend that it be a good idea to have a talk with your teachers about your problem and they may give you some useful suggestions. What’s more, I feel it significant to make a proper arrangement of your study so that you can keep a balance between schoolwork and exercises. Doing some exercises can make you sleep better.

I hope you’ll find the advice helpful and get used to your senior high school life as soon as possible.

Yours,

Li Hua

After school, Will saw the truck parked in front of his house. Puzzled and curious, he quickened his pace, wondering who would be the unexpected visitor. Hardly had he stepped into the doorway when he noticed that Allan, the man he met in the morning, was talking with his father. Astonished to see the scene, he asked curiously, “ Are you old acquaintance?” His father beamed up, “No, but Mr. Allan have told me what had happened this morning and he offered to give me a job, as a deliveryman!”

Hearing the good news, Will turned overjoyed. He asked eagerly, “Dad, with this job, do we need to sell our house?” “Probably not!

Wearing a big smile on his face, Will expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Allan, offering that he would also help deliver the goods in the following summer vacation!
