A

Every year on my birthday, from the time I turned 12, a white gardenia was delivered to my house. Nocard came with it. Calls to the flower-shop were not helpful at all. After a while I stopped trying to discoverthe sender's name and just delighted in the beautiful white flower in soft pink paper.

But I never stopped imagining who the giver might be. Some of my happiest moments were spent daydreaming about the sender. My mother encouraged these imaginings. She'd ask me if there was someone for whom I had done special kindness. Perhaps it was the old man across the street whose mail I'd deliveredduring the winter. As a girl, I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy I had run into.

One month before my graduation, my father died, I felt so sad that I became completely uninterested inmy upcoming graduation dance, and I didn't care if I had a new dress or not. But my mother, in her ownsadness would not let me miss any of those things. She wanted her children to feel loved and lovable. In truth,my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia-lovely, strong and perfect with perhaps a bit of mystery（神秘）.

My mother died ten days after I was married. I was 22. That was the year the gardenia stopped coming.

21. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A. A childhood Dream B. A Mother's Love

C. A Graduation Party D. A Special Birthday

22. The mother insisted that her daughter go to the graduation dance because __.

A. she could take care of things herself

B. she hoped she would find a boyfriend

C. she wanted her to be happy and strong

D. she thought education was most important

23. Who was the sender of the flower?

A. A boy the writer had run into.

B. One of the writer's neighbors.

C. One of the writer's classmates.

D. The writer's mother.

B

Language is a way to communicate with each other. We started to learn language when we were born. However, people are used to speaking their native language, so immigrants(移民) are having many problems between the first generation and the second generation because they don’t have the same native language. Also, the second generation is losing their identity. Especially in America, there are many immigrants that came from different countries to succeed in the States. Because they suffer in lots of areas such as getting a job and trying to speak English, they want their children to speak English, not only at school, but also at home in order to be more successful. For example, my aunt, who has been living in Chicago for fifteen years, has three children and

they were all born in the State. The eighteen-year-old daughter speaks English as a native language and she speaks Korean very well too. She has no problem talking with her parents, but she still doesn’t understand Korean jokes, and there are sometimes misunderstandings. The second daughter is fourteen years old, and she doesn’t want to speak Korean. My aunt often gets upset with her because she is very Americanized and they cannot understand each other. Even when my aunt punishes her, this daughter does not understand what my aunt is talking about.

My aunt taught Korean to her children not to help hem succeed in the U.S. she did so, hopefully, to help them establish a Korean identity(身份). Though the second generation is born in the new country, they often get confused about their identity because they look different from others, and also, if they visit their parents’ country, they will probably feel different from other people there too.

We must realize that language is important and valuable for many reasons. Immigrants should make an effort not to be ignored by their children and to make their children understand their heritage(传统) by teaching them the parents’ language. This is very important, not only for the harmony of the family, but also in helping the second generation establish their identity.

24. what do you think this article is about?

A. learning a second language.

B. Immigrants who become homesick in the U.S.

C. Language and its effect on the identity of immigrants.

D. Schools attended by immigrants to the U.S.

25. Which of the following is NOT true about the 18-year-old daughter?

A. She was born in the U.S.

B. She speaks only English very well but her Korean is poor.

C. She gets along better with her parents.

D. She doesn’t understand Korean jokes well.

26. To whom does the mother speak Korean?

A. Her old daughter only. B. All of her children.

C. Her two daughters only. D. Only to her son.

27. Why did the author’s aunt try to teach her children to speak Korean?

A. To help them succeed in the U.S.

B. To help them find a good job.

C. To help them establish a Korean identity.

D. To help her improve her Korean language skills.

C

In the US, people prefer waiting for a table to sitting with people they don’t know. This means a hostess may not seat a small group until a small table is available, even if a large one is. If you are sitting at a table with people you don’t know, it is impolite to light up a cigarette without asking if it will disturb them.

At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap water(自来水) before you order. You may find the bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill.

Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing time for stores or restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars. Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day.

Serving in restaurants is often large; too large for many people. If you can’t finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later, ask your waitress or waiter for a “doggie bag”. It may have a picture of a dog on it, but everybody knows you’re taking the food for yourself.

Supper and dinner are both words for the evening meal. Some people have “Sunday dinner”. This is an especially big noon meal.

Tips are not usually added to the check. They are not included in the price of the meal, either.

A tip of about 15% is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave. In some restaurants, a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there. Then the waiter or waitress brings you your change.

28. Which statement is TRUE?

A. American people like sitting with people they don’t know.

B. Hostess always seats a small group at a large table.

C. American people never sit with people they don’t know.

D. American people would not light a cigarette if the people who sit at the same table mind their smoking.

29. What is served before you order?

A. Cold water. B. Butter. C. Coffee. D. Bread.

30. What do American people always do when servings are too large for them?

A. They take the food home with a doggie bag for their dogs.

B. They leave the food on the table and go away.

C. They take the food home with a doggie bag and enjoy the food later.

D. They ask the waitress or waiter to keep the food for them.

31.What can you learn about "tips" according to the passage?

A. Customers often add tips to their check.

B. The price of the meal usually includes the tip.

C. People are not expected to pay tips in addition.

D. Tips are supposed to be left on the table when customers leave.

D

Shree Bose is one of the most impressive kids graduating from Fort Worth Country Day High School this year. Bose has a large circle of friends, and there’s one who you may have heard of: President Obama. He has twice publicly recognized her achievements in cancer research and spoken with her in the Oval Office.

If that isn’t enough, Bose recently gave a TED Talk about her work with the cancer drug Cisplatin, which also won her first prize at the Google Science Fair and recognition as one of Glamour magazine’s Young Amazing Women of the Year.

After watching her grandfather struggle with liver cancer, Bose was determined to help out in any way she could. As a high school student，though, her scientific choices were limited. She reached out to various hospitals and research centers, but doctors turned down her requests because they felt she was too inexperienced medically.

Only the North Texas Science Health Center respected her determination and chose to guide her. The results were amazing.

Bose chose to study a protein(蛋白质) and its reaction with the cancer drug Cisplatin. She noticed that when she prevented this protein from growing, Cisplatin was allowed to begin destroying cancer cells once again.

“My project not only contributes to the understanding of the relationship between the protein and Cisplatin, but also suggests a newer, more effective treatment for patients who resist Cisplatin,” Bose said.

Bose’s achievements aren’t limited to the lab, though. She was also captain of her swim team and editor-in-chief of her school paper.

Bose is currently getting practical experience at the National Institute of Health and she’ll be attending Harvard in the fall. She plans to study molecular biology and go to medical school. Eventually, she would like to be a doctor.

32. President Obama has spoken with Bose because she ______.

A. gave a TED Talk recently B. contributed to the cancer research

C. has a large circle of friends D. is captain of her swim team

33. According to Bose’s research, ______ helps make Cisplatin work better.

A. stopping the protein from growing B. destroying cancer cells timely

C. using the drug more frequently D. making the protein react with the drug

34. From the passage, we know that _____.

A. Bose’s research was supported from the start.

B. Bose will study in the National Institute of Health.

C. Bose plans to become a doctor in the future.

D. Bose’s grandfather asked her to do cancer research.

35. The passage is mainly about _____.

A. a research on cancer drugs

B. a new effective cancer treatment
