Nights are 21 in hospitals, but all through the night the young Marine sat there in the dimly-lit ward, holding the old man?s hand and 22 words of hope and strength. 23 , the nurse suggested that the Marine rest for a while. He refused.

Whenever the nurse came into the ward, the Marine was there, but he 24 her and the night noises of the hospital — the clanking of an oxygen tank, the laughter of night-staff members exchanging greetings, the cries and moans and snores of other 25 .

Section B

Directions: There are several passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.

Passage One

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.

We see neighbors practically every day — in the morning before we rush to work and in the evening when we return. But have you ever thought it over why neighbors are so important to our lives?

Neighbors can help bring out our social best. After all, neighbors deserve to be treated with respect and friendliness like everyone else.

Neighbors can be helpful too. They can help look after our houses when we are away on holiday. If you are new to the neighborhood, they can advise you on how things operate, where to go and so on.

Hence, if you have a good relationship with your neighbors, it is easier to solve problems like who should keep the passageways clean, or who should do repairs on retaining walls (挡土墙) or fences.

Of course, you have good and bad neighbors.

The good neighbors help one another. A good neighbor may spend their own money buying young trees and planting them to beautify the neighborhood for everyone, or may help to dig a communal garden bed for roses.

Good neighbors give each other food occasionally. It?s not what and how often you

give, it?s the thought that counts.

Then you have the bad neighbors.

I know of a neighbor who trimmed the branches of his tree, letting them fall and damage another neighbor?s fence and nearby plants.

Instead of seeking out the neighbor and paying for the damage, the stubborn neighbor kept quiet about the matter even when the victimized neighbor complained. The bad neighbor also had a fierce dog and does not bother to put it on a leash. This dog has frightened some older ladies living close by.

Then there are neighbors who are a little bit too “nosy”. They invade your privacy too often by focusing on their binoculars on your homes or asking too many questions about your activities.

If you have problems with your neighbors, you?d better discuss these with them openly. You might be living with them for years and it is in both your interests to solve these problems amicably (友善地).

You can get a restraining order to stop a neighbor from harassing you or your property.

Taking legal action to solve a problem with a neighbor should be the last choice. If you have to take this action, then it might be better to move to another neighborhood.

31.

Which one of the following can be the most proper title for this passage? A) Good Neighbors Make Life Easy B) Neighbors: Helpers of Life C) Good and Bad Neighbors

D) How to Deal With Neighbors?

正确答案： A 32.

A good neighbor will behave in all the following ways EXCEPT ______. A) being glad to help one another B) giving a hand to new neighbors C) keeping quiet about matters D) being considerate to others

正确答案： C 33.

Which statement is true about bad neighbors? A) They trim the branches too frequently. B) They keep the fierce pets at large. C) They frighten old ladies for fun. D) They keep quiet about any matter.

正确答案： B 34.

What does the word “nosy” (Para.11) mean? A) Be sensitive to smells.

B) Be keen on finding secrets out. C) Be interested in others? business. D) Be good at making sounds.

正确答案： C 35.

How does the author advise you to solve the problems with your neighbors? A) Warn your neighbors before action. B) Talk about the trouble frankly.

C) Post a restraining order on your neighbor?s door. D) Go to the lawsuit directly.

正确答案： B

Passage Two

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.

When you consciously keep thinking of something, your unconscious mind will somehow spontaneously push that idea or issue back to the surface even when you are doing something else, because your unconscious mind accepts, stores, and plays back everything that the conscious mind focuses on. The unconscious mind is like a “yes” person, agreeing, accepting and reminding.

Hence, your unconscious mind can respond positively or negatively, depending on how you have consciously conditioned it — by constantly thinking about something.

If you keep thinking negatively of someone, you will constantly say negative things about that person when you are chatting away with another friend.

If you keep telling yourself that it is very difficult to study English or that your English lecture is boring, then that thought will always crop up uninvited when you are chatting with someone or doing something else.

That is how the unconscious mind works. That is why successful athletes who consciously, continuously and consistently focus on superior performance actually perform well because they are driven by their unconscious mind.

It?s important to understand that whatever you consciously focus on, your unconscious mind will accept it. You need to think positively so that your unconscious mind will respond likewise.

If you find yourself in a negative mood, discontinue that mood. Perhaps look at yourself through a mirror and see how “ugly” your face is when you are in a bitter mood. If you have a coin, flip it over. Say to yourself: “There are two sides of me, the good and the bad. Now I seem to be bad, so let?s focus on the good.”

You must not hold a negative thought too long, or it will come back again and get more rooted in your system.

Once you are in a negative system, it would take much more reprogramming to uproot the bad “trees” in your mind. You could have a full-grown negative “forest” in your mind — and that could take ages to uproot. So place it with a positive thought. Affirm consciously, continuously and consistently your new positive image. Focus on the new trait visually and see yourself succeeding in it.

Review your behavior. Do you moan and groan too often? Do you talk like a loser? Are you small-minded, selfish and unforgiving?

It?s time you consciously conditioned your unconscious mind to work in a positive manner.

36.

What is the best title for this passage? A) Train Your Unconscious Mind

B) Conscious Mind and Unconscious Mind C) Uproot Negative Thoughts

D) How the Unconscious Mind Works

正确答案： A 37.

How does the author support the idea that “one?s unconscious mind can respond positively or negatively”?

A) By providing examples. B) By giving reasons.

C) By stating people?s opinions.

D) By accounting his personal experiences.

正确答案： A 38.

Para. 5 is mainly discussing ______.

A) how good performance affects one?s unconscious mind B) how a positive unconscious mind develops

C) how a person?s unconscious mind works positively D) how people condition their unconscious mind

正确答案： C

39.

When conditioning your unconscious mind, it is very important to understand that _______. A) we should avoid aiming too high

B) our unconscious mind should agree with our true potential C) we are always better than what we think we are

D) our unconscious mind will accept whatever we consciously focus on

正确答案： D 40.

What can we infer from the sentence “You could have a full-grown negative ?forest? in your mind — and that could take ages to uproot” (Para. 9)?

A) Negative thoughts are potential obstacles to our further development. B) It takes consistent effort to get rid of negative thoughts. C) Negative thoughts are a part of learning in our lives. D) There are always many negative thoughts in our minds.

Old Behrman was a painter who lived on the ground floor beneath them. He was past sixty and had a long white beard curling down over his chest. Despite looking the part, Behrman was a 21 in art. For forty years he had been always about to paint a masterpiece, but had never yet begun it. He earned a little by 22 as a model to those young artists who could not pay the price of a 23 . He drank gin to excess, and still talked of his coming masterpiece.

Sue found Behrman smelling 26 of gin in his dimly lighted studio below.

Section B

Directions: There are several passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.

Passage One

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.

It is the last day of the school year and I stand empty-handed with no gift to give you.

It isn?t that I haven?t tried to think of something meaningful and special … quite to the contrary. For months, I have combed catalogs, browsed speciality shops and department stores, and even searched the Internet only to realize that nothing could measure up to the feelings of a mother?s grateful heart and a teacher?s loving dedication.

How I wish a colorful bundle of fresh wildflowers could reflect the beauty of your way with children — the constant patience and nurturing, the gentle encouragement. Jewelry would surely be nice, but what can I afford that would not soon tarnish and grow quickly out of style? You deserve the gems of royalty for your determination and creativity, your devotion and talent. During the past year, I have given you many small gifts, mostly intangible ones.

At the moment the first school bell rang last August, I placed in you my trust, believing you would teach my child and reserve respect for me as a parent. I added to that my constant and devoted prayers that you would be objective and fair to set limitations while offering my child a chance to learn self-control and to soar a bit in the process. I sincerely petitioned that your classroom would be a safe shelter for my child to grow and learn, which is a perfect mixture of self-discipline and controlled instruction. I prayed for your health and your happiness, and your ability to be supplied with the tools necessary to complete your task as teacher and educator. I offered you my time as often as I could, and my support for your cause. Occasionally, I even offered you a challenge when I spoke my mind, sometimes standing firm, sometimes giving up with a renewed assurance or a “wait and see” attitude!

I wish with all my heart I could put a delicate ribbon on a wrapped package and give you a “something” to express my appreciation and affection, but I have nothing to give you that would surpass the most precious gift I have ever had to offer and which you already so pleasantly accepted months ago — the one you have held close to your heart, laughed with and probably cried with, applauded and scolded, encouraged and molded — my child!

And today, as my child returns to my side for the summer, the gift I humbly give to you is found deep within my heart … I give to you my thanks.

31.

On the last day of the school year, the author has no gift to give the teacher because ______. A) she has no time to think of something meaningful and special

B) she cannot find something that can properly express her feelings C) there is nowhere to buy a colorful bundle of fresh wildflowers D) she doesn?t know how to measure her feelings to the teacher

正确答案： B 32.

The author doesn?t choose the jewelry as a gift for the teacher, because ______. A) no jewelry can convey her appreciation B) all the jewelry is easy to get out of date C) fine jewelry is too expensive for her D) it?s so hard to find the gems of royalty

正确答案： C 33.

In the third paragraph, the word “intangible” must probably means ______. A) small B) valuable C) valueless D) non-material

正确答案： D 34.

According to the author, the best gift for the teacher is ______. A) her child B) her jewelry C) her prayer D) her support

正确答案： A 35.

The author writes the passage with an ______ tone. A) argumentative B) encouraging C) appreciative D) apologetic

正确答案： C

Passage Two

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.

I was sitting in back of a little girl, put on the plane by mother who placed a Care Bear in her arms and told her to remind Daddy to call when she got to California. The girl adjusted her seat belt and sniffed back a tear, bravely setting her jaw.

As we prepared for takeoff, the man next to the girl asked her the name of her bear and nodded in approval, saying Furry was a good name for a bear. When the little girl told him she was 6 years old, the man replied that he had a daughter who was 6 years old. His daughter was missing the same teeth, in fact.

By the time we were in the air, the man and the little girl were playing tic-tac-toe, and she revealed to him the names of her favorite friends. Somewhere over Ohio, I fell asleep, awakened by my mother instinct when I heard a child announce that she had to go to the bathroom.

“It?s in the back, right?” I heard the girl say to the man. The flight attendants were busy collecting lunch trays.

“Do you want me to take you there?” the man asked, standing.

At once my antennae were up and, leaning into the aisle, I craned my neck, practically knocking heads with the woman in the seat across from me. For one moment our eyes locked. She had been listening, too, and both of us had the same idea. Would this man go into the bathroom with the child? I held my breath as he held open the bathroom door.

Then the man showed the girl how the lock worked and waited outside the door. The woman and I sighed in relief. She said, “Well, you can?t be too careful these days.”

I?ve thought about that man on the plane since then, and the image of him and the girl always leaves an empty sorrow. I know that sexual abuse of children is awful, which we must guard against. But it saddened me that I looked at someone who understood a child?s fear and saw a child molester.

These are trying times for men. We women say how we want men to be sensitive and nurturing, to be caring and affectionate. But my sense is that now these qualities cannot be readily displayed without arousing suspicion. Perhaps there is some sort of ironic punishment for all those years of accepting the male stereotypes. But there is a real loss here for us all when we must always be wary of the kindness of strangers.

36.

What is the central theme of this passage?

A) These are trying times for men because all the attention on sexual abuse of children has made even their kindness appear to be evil.

B) The author felt sorry for the little girl who had to fly by herself, but meanwhile, she admired the child?s bravery.

C) Child molesters can find victims even in airplanes, so all travelers should be suspicious of anyone who is kind to children flying alone.

D) Because of her increased awareness that some people are child molesters, the author realizes she has become suspicious of people who are kind to strangers? children.

正确答案： D 37.

Why did the man say Furry was a good name? A) He had once had a bear named Furry.

B) He wanted to make the little girl settle down so that she would not bother him. C) He wanted to make her feel comfortable and secure.

D) The bear was very fluffy, and so Furry seemed an appropriate name.

正确答案： C 38.

Why did the little girl?s announcement that she had to go to the bathroom wake up the author?

A) The child was speaking very loudly and moving around in her seat.

B) The author was afraid the child might have an accident unless someone took her to the bathroom right away.

C) As a mother, the author thought she should be the one asked to take the little girl to the bathroom.

D) As a mother, the author was used to listening, even in her sleep, for children?s calls for help.

正确答案： D 39.

By saying “Well, you can?t be too careful these days” (Para. 7) the woman was communicating that she was ______.

A) annoyed at the flight attendants for being too busy to take the little girl to the bathroom B) angry that the little girl had asked the man instead of the nearby woman for help.

C) slightly embarrassed that she had worried about what the man might do to the little girl D) somewhat worried that the girl was too little to learn how to use the bathroom lock

正确答案： C 40.

What does the author mean when she says “there is a real loss here for us all when we must always be wary of the kindness of strangers” (Para.9)?

A) Constant suspicion is a poisonous feeling, preventing people from watching a man being kind to a child.

B) Because rarely is there a way of telling who might be evil, people stop talking to strangers and miss chances to make friends.

C) Years ago, fewer child molesters existed, so parents had peace of mind that now has been lost.

D) Because people today are constantly on the lookout for child molesters, nice people like the author are afraid to be kind to strangers? children.

Script: Since we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. The strength of the human condition is our tendency to give and receive support from one another under stressful circumstances. Social support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to cope with major life changes and daily hassles (困难). People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over a range of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, reveal that the presence of social support helps people fend off (挡开) illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.

Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives, and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others despite our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Engaging in leisure-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting (转移……注意力) us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support — financial aid, material resources, and needed services — that reduces stress by helping us resolve and cope with our problems.

Old Behrman was a painter who lived on the ground floor beneath them. He was past sixty and had a long white beard curling down over his chest. Despite looking the part, Behrman was a 21 in art. For forty years he had been always about to paint a masterpiece, but had never yet begun it. He earned a little by 22 as a model to those young artists who could not pay the price of a 23 .

Section B

Directions: There are several passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.

Passage One

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.

When you consciously keep thinking of something, your unconscious mind will somehow spontaneously push that idea or issue back to the surface even when you are doing something else, because your unconscious mind accepts, stores, and plays back everything that the conscious mind focuses on. The unconscious mind is like a “yes” person, agreeing, accepting and reminding.

Hence, your unconscious mind can respond positively or negatively, depending on how you have consciously conditioned it — by constantly thinking about something.

If you keep thinking negatively of someone, you will constantly say negative things about that person when you are chatting away with another friend.

If you keep telling yourself that it is very difficult to study English or that your English lecture is boring, then that thought will always crop up uninvited when you are chatting with someone or doing something else.

That is how the unconscious mind works. That is why successful athletes who consciously, continuously and consistently focus on superior performance actually perform well because they are driven by their unconscious mind.

It?s important to understand that whatever you consciously focus on, your unconscious mind will accept it. You need to think positively so that your unconscious mind will respond likewise.

If you find yourself in a negative mood, discontinue that mood. Perhaps look at yourself through a mirror and see how “ugly” your face is when you are in a bitter mood. If you have a coin, flip it over. Say to yourself: “There are two sides of me, the good and the bad. Now I seem to be bad, so let?s focus on the good.”

You must not hold a negative thought too long, or it will come back again and get more rooted in your system.

Once you are in a negative system, it would take much more reprogramming to uproot the bad “trees” in your mind. You could have a full-grown negative “forest” in your mind — and that could take ages to uproot. So place it with a positive thought. Affirm consciously, continuously and consistently your new positive image. Focus on the new trait visually and see yourself succeeding in it.

Review your behavior. Do you moan and groan too often? Do you talk like a loser? Are you small-minded, selfish and unforgiving?

It?s time you consciously conditioned your unconscious mind to work in a positive manner.

Passage Two

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.

It is the last day of the school year and I stand empty-handed with no gift to give you.

It isn?t that I haven?t tried to think of something meaningful and special … quite to the contrary. For months, I have combed catalogs, browsed speciality shops and department stores, and even searched the Internet only to realize that nothing could measure up to the feelings of a mother?s grateful heart and a teacher?s loving dedication.

How I wish a colorful bundle of fresh wildflowers could reflect the beauty of your way with children — the constant patience and nurturing, the gentle encouragement. Jewelry would surely be nice, but what can I afford that would not soon tarnish and grow quickly out of style? You deserve the gems of royalty for your determination and creativity, your devotion and talent. During the past year, I have given you many small gifts, mostly intangible ones.

At the moment the first school bell rang last August, I placed in you my trust, believing you would teach my child and reserve respect for me as a parent. I added to that my constant and devoted prayers that you would be objective and fair to set limitations while offering my child a chance to learn self-control and to soar a bit in the process. I sincerely petitioned that your classroom would be a safe shelter for my child to grow and learn, which is a perfect mixture of self-discipline and controlled instruction. I prayed for your health and your happiness, and your ability to be supplied with the tools necessary to complete your task as teacher and educator. I offered you my time as often as I could, and my support for your cause. Occasionally, I even offered you a challenge when I spoke my mind, sometimes standing firm, sometimes giving up with a renewed assurance or a “wait and see” attitude!

I wish with all my heart I could put a delicate ribbon on a wrapped package and give you a “something” to express my appreciation and affection, but I have nothing to give you that would surpass the most precious gift I have ever had to offer and which you already so pleasantly accepted months ago — the one you have held close to your heart, laughed with and probably cried with, applauded and scolded, encouraged and molded — my child!

And today, as my child returns to my side for the summer, the gift I humbly give to you is found deep within my heart … I give to you my thanks.
