17、ack in 1954.On a mindless Saturday afternoon, a friend and I were throwing rocks onto the roof of the old ladys house in her backyard. The object of our play was to observe how the rocks changed to missiles as they rolled to the roofs edge and shot out into the yard like comets falling from the sky.

18、I found myself a perfectly smooth rock. The stone was too smooth, however, so it slipped from my hand as I let it go and headed straight for a small window on the old ladys back porch. At the sound of fractured glass, we ran away very fast.I was scared about getting caught that first night. However,

19、 a few days later, when I was sure that I hadnt been discovered, I started to feel guilty for her misfortune.I made up my mind that I would save my paper delivery money, and in three weeks I had the seven dollars that I calculated would cover the cost of her window. I put the money in an envelope wi

20、th a note explaining that I was sorry for breaking her window.I waited until it was dark, snuck up to the old ladys house, and put the envelope through the letter slot in her door.The next day, I handed the old lady her paper and was able to return the warm smile that I was receiving from her. She t

21、hanked me for the paper and said, “Here, I have something for you. ” It was a bag of cookies. I thanked her and began to eat the cookies as I continued my route.After several cookies, I felt an envelope and pulled it out of the bag. When I opened the envelope, I was astonished. Inside was the seven

22、dollars and a short note that said, “Im proud of you. ” 24. The author and his friend threw stones onto the roof of the old ladys house to_.A. amuse themselves B. help her repair it C. ask her for some help D. wake her up25. What part-time job did the author do at the age of 12?A. Making cookies.B.

23、Collecting stones.C. Delivering newspapers.D. Repairing windows.26. When the author felt guilty about what he had done, he _.A. went to see the old lady and admitted his mistake bravelyB. just wrote a letter to apologize to the old ladyC. turned to his friend for some adviceD. decided to rely on his

24、 own efforts to make up for his mistake27. Which of the following can best replace the phrase “snuck up to” in paragraph 6?A. ran into B. slipped into C. broke into D. rushed intoCIt is a familiar scene these days: employees taking newly laidoff (下岗) coworkers out for a drink for comfort. But which

25、side deserves sympathy more, the jobless or the still employed? On March 6, researchers at a conference at the University of Cambridge heard data suggesting its the latter.Brendan Burchell, a Cambridge sociologist, presented his analysis based on various surveys conducted across Europe. The data sug

26、gest that employed people who feel insecure in their jobs show similar levels of anxiety and depression as those who are unemployed. Although a newly jobless persons mental health may “bottom out” after about six months, and then even begin to improve, the mental state of people who are continuously

27、 worried about losing their jobs “just continues to get worse and worse,” Burchell says.Evolutionary psychologists support this theory by arguing that human beings feel more stressed during times of insecurity because they sense an immediate but invisible threat. Patients have been known to experien

28、ce higher levels of anxiety, for example, while waiting for examination results than knowing what they are suffering from even if the result is cancer. Its better to get the bad news and start doing something about it rather than wait with anxiety. When the uncertainty continues, people stay in a no

29、nstop “fight or flight” response, which leads to damaging stress.But not every employee in insecure industries has such a discouraging view, Burchell says. In general, women get on better. While reporting higher levels of anxiety than men when directly questioned, women scored lower in stress on the

30、 GHQ 12, even when they had a job they felt insecure about losing. As Burchell explains, “For women, most studies show that any job it doesnt matter whether it is secure or insecure gives psychological improvement over unemployment.” Burchell supposes that the difference in men is that they tend to

31、feel pressure not only to be employed, but also to be the primary breadwinner, and that more of a mans selfworth depends on his job.28. Why do researchers think the still employed deserve sympathy more?A. They have to do more work since then.B. They have no chance to find better jobs.C. They have to

32、 work with inexperienced workers.D. They constantly worry about losing their jobs.29. What is most likely to cause a “fight or flight” response?A. Not having a paid job. B. Fierce competition for jobs.C. Not knowing what will happen.D. Pressure to work longer hours.30. What will the writer talk abou

33、t following the last paragraph?A. Advice on preparing a job interview.B. Advice to those in insecure industries.C. Some knowledge of psychology. D. Differences in men and women.31. What could be the best title for the text?A. Is it Less Stressful to Get Laid Off Than Stay On?B. Should Greater Sympat

34、hy Be Given to the Jobless?C. Do Employees Bear More Stress Than Ever Before?D. Do Men or Women Show Higher Levels of Anxiety?DRosie, a first-year university student in Beijing, entered a classroom for her oral English exam and slid her topic across the table to Joe, a foreign teacher. My Story, it

35、read. “In middle school, my classmates laughed at me for having deaf-mute parents,” she began softly. “From that moment on, I decided not to tell anybody. But today”Its widely considered taboo(忌讳) in Chinese to discuss the details of an unhappy family life with anyone other than very close friends.

36、However, as Joe has noticed, many Chinese students appear surprisingly comfortable discussing emotional moments from their lives when they speak with foreign teachers in a language different from their own.“Speaking English,” one of his Chinese students told him, “I feel like another person.” When s

37、peaking Chinese, he is kind of reserved; in English class, he is more open. English, to the Chinese speaker, may be like a mask, creating a buffer(缓冲物) between speaking the truth and the listeners reaction. Students focus on how to speak rather than what is being said. If theres a misunderstanding,

38、English can take the blame.Another reason why Chinese students are more comfortable sharing their secrets during English class may be the distinct approach to teaching used by their foreign teachers. “I always try to come to each student, make eye contact, have a 20-second conversation and see how t

39、hey are doing,” Joe said. Classes taught by Chinese teachers, in contrast, are more formal. Many students said they had never been asked their opinion in class.Rosies English vocabulary is now extensive, but she still cant find the words to describe her feelings towards the English language. “Englis

40、h makes me feel I am different,” she said. “English is beautiful.”32. Which might be the best title of this passage?A. Sharing Secrets in English.B. English Is a Beautiful Language.C. Learning with Foreign Teachers.D. Which Is More Popular, Chinese or English?33. What can we infer from paragraph 1?A

41、. Rosie and Joe are good friends.B. Rosie will mention her personal affairs.C. Rosie looks down upon the disabled.D. Rosie lacks confidence in the oral exam.34. The underlined word “reserved” can best be replaced by _.A. shy B. curious C. terrified D. distinctive35. What is the main idea of paragrap

42、h 3 and 4?A. How students feel when speaking English.B. What Joes approach to teaching English is.C. How Chinese acts as a mask while communicating.D. Why students prefer to share emotional stories in English.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分）Living with strangers, or even friends, can be challenging,
