阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

About twenty years ago I had the pleasure of teaching a disabled young woman. Not only was she good at math and science, but she was also extremely talented in art. She could draw and paint beautifully. When Audrey graduated from university she got two degrees, one in fine arts and one in chemistry. Not too many people do well in two such different areas of study.

Just before her high school graduation, Audrey gave me a wonderful gift. It was a watercolor painting of a mother and her baby. A tear fell from the mother’s eye as she looked lovingly at her child. Beneath the painting Audrey had written these words: “The deep love from Mother, through me, touches another.” What a beautiful gift! I had the piece of art framed(给…做框) and hung in my office.

Years passed with many moves from one office to another and I lost the painting. Last year, after about eight years of not knowing where it was, I received a phone from a former colleague who said she had something of mine. It was the picture Audrey had painted for me 18 years ealier. When cleaning out a storage room she had discovered my gift.

I was struck that the precious gift came back. I knew Audrey very well. When she was four years old Audrey had a serious disease. What’s worse, her father left the house. It was her mother who brought her up with much trouble. She survived the disease but was disabled.

To any other it is just a painting, but to me it shows how a mother’s love has helped develop a talent and how its power pushes me ahead.

56. What made Audrey different from others was that she_______. A. could draw and paint beautifullly B. was good at math and chemistry

C. got two degrees in two different fields D. was a student in a key university

57. How did the author regain the painting? A. She found it from one office.

B. One of her former colleagues found it. C. She found it in a storage room. D. Audrey found it for her.

58. What is Paragraph 4 mainly talking about? A.The author’s feeling. B. Audrey’s family.

C. Audrey’s experience. D. The author’s experience.

59. Why does the author value the painting so much? A. It was painted by her most talented student. B. The painting can be worth a lot of money.

C. The art value of the painting is immeasurable(无法估计的). D. The painting encourages her to advance(前进).

It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometres away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.

The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries(食品杂货), saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.

I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before. People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity(人性) as a whole. And it has influenced(影响) us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.

64. Why was the bike so important to the couple? A. The man’s job was bike racing. B. It was their only possession(财产). C. It was nice Kona 18 speed.

D. They used it for work and daily life.

65. We can infer from the text that____________. A. the couple worked 60 hours a week. B. people were busy before Christmas. C. the stranger brought over the bike. D. life was hard for the young family.

66. How did people get to know the couple’s problem? A. From radio broadcasts. B. From a newspaper. C. From TV news. D. From a stranger. 67. What do the couple learn their experience? A. Strangers are usually of little help. B. One should take care of their bike. C. News reports make people famous. D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.

D

Remembering names is an important social skill．Here are some ways to master it． Recite and repeat in conversation．

When you hear a person’s name，repeat it．Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips．You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial．

Ask the other person to recite and repeat．

You can let other people help you remember their names．After you’ve been introduced to someone，ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you．Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names． Admit(承认) you don’t know．

Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed．Most of them will feel sympathy if you say．“I’m working to remember names better．Yours is right on the tip of my tongue．What is it again?” Use associations(联系)．

Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual．For example，you could make a mental note: \you’re your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible. Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.

When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later. Go early.

Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That's fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others -- an automatic review for you. 68. How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names? A. They will be moved. B. They will be annoyed.

C. They will be happy. D. They will be discouraged(泄气的). 69. If you can't remember someone's name, you may __

A. tell him the truth B. tell him a white lie

C. ask him for pity D. ask others to help you 70. When you meet a group of people, it is better to remember __

A. all their names B. a couple of names first C. just their last names D. as many names as possible 71. What does the text mainly tell us?

A. Tips on an important social skill. B. Importance of attending parties.

C. How to make use of associations. D. How to recite and repeat names.

Mistakes are a part of life. To err is human. Failure is also a part of life, not the end of life. Be happy facing life’s challenges. When you make the effort to be happy and to improve your life, you are actually rewarded along the way.

Life is like a game and maybe you can award(奖励) points for every effort that has been a success for you. Try it. Add ten points for every achievement. And when you have reached 50 points, just yell, “ Hey, I’ve won!” and give yourself a reward. If you happen to have missed your points for whatever reason, tell yourself, “Well, I tried!” which is better than not trying at all. Don’t let it be said you didn’t try.

What is it that you want to make yourself happy? Actually happiness means different things to different people. For example, an athlete will be happy winning his first race. For a new mother happiness would be seeing her baby’s first steps. Happiness for a poor person would mean having a meal just for today. So happiness for you is really something simple that you want for yourself.

It really doesn’t have to be big. As a matter of fact you should always have realistic expectations. Make the best out of every given situation. If you expect a certain result from a situation and it does not happen, don’t get despondent. This just means trying harder next time. We all have in us the power to succeed. Don’t let “ give up ” be a part of your vocabulary.

72.By saying “To err is human”, the author means that________. A. human beings should try to avoid(避免) making mistakes B. no one is perfect(完美的) and everyone makes mistakes C. mistakes and failures make up our lif D. human beings make mistakes easily 73. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. Try to reach 50 points.

B. Never stop trying in your life. C. Award yourself for your success

D. Don’t be afraid of missing your points.

74. The author proves his idea in Paragraph 3 through_________. A. exampes B. numbers C. experiments D. stories

75. The underlined word “ despondent ” in the last paragraph means________. A. frightened B. disappointed C. surprised D. excited
