32、 at a television station, where she did not do well at first. But she did not give up; instead, she worked harder.

33、ow in 1977. From then on, her career began to take off.Some people are handed money at birth and are nurtured into success; other people create their own success, and Oprah Winfrey definitely belongs to the latter. “There is no such thing as failure in my life,” she concluded, “Life is a marathon. I

34、 think the ones who survive in life do it by hammering at it one day at a time.” Well, by doing so, she won the game.56.

48、l parks, is a place of strange and silent beauty. As beautiful as this place is, its name provides evidence of very real danger. Death Valley is a land of beautiful yet dangerous extremes. There are mountains that reach more than 3,000 meters into the sky. There is a place called Badwater that is th

49、e lowest area of land in the Western Hemisphere. If there were water there, it would be 86 meters below the level of the ocean.Death Valley can be dangerously cold during the winter months. Storms in the mountains can produce sudden flooding on the floor of the Valley. The air temperature during the

50、 summer has been as high as 57. The sun can heat the ground so that the temperature of the rocks and soil can be as high as 74. The extreme heat of Death Valley has killed people in the past.

51、o are not careful.Death Valley is a good example of the violence of nature. It contains evidence of several ancient volcanoes that caused huge explosions.

52、many areas of Death Valley it is easy to see where the ground has been pushed up violently by movement deep in the Earth. This movement has created unusual and beautiful rock formations. Some are red. Others are dark brown, gray, yellow or black. Other areas of rock look as if some huge creature vio

53、lently broke and twisted the Earth to create unusual, sometimes frightening shapes.In other parts of Death Valley there are lines in the rock that show clearly that this area was deep under an ocean for many thousands of years. Much of the Valley is flat and extremely dry. In fact, scientists believ

59、 life which I was entering. But though it was not far past the middle of September, the heavy clouds and strong north-easterly wind combined to make the day extremely cold; and the journey seemed a very long one, so that it was nearly one oclock before we reached the place of our destination. Yet wh

60、en we entered the gateway, my heart failed me, and I wished it were a mile or two farther off. For the first time in my life I must stand alone: there was no retreating now. I must enter that house, and introduce myself among its strange people. But how was it to be done? True, I was near nineteen;

61、but, thanks to the protecting care of my mother and sister, I well knew that many a girl of fifteen, or under, was gifted with a more womanly address, and greater ease and self-possession, than I was. Yet, anyway. I would do very well, after all; and the children, of course, I should soon be at ease

62、 with them.Be calm, be calm, whatever happens, I said within myself; and truly I was so fully occupied in steadying my nerves and keeping down the rebellious beat of my heart that when I was admitted into the hall and into the presence of Mrs. Bloomfield, I almost forgot to answer her polite greetin

63、g; and it afterwards struck me that the little I did say was spoken in the tone of one half-dead or half-asleep. With due politeness, however, she showed me my bedroom, and left me there to take a little refreshment for a little while and led me into the dining-room. Some beefsteaks and potatoes wer

64、e set before me; and while I dined upon these, she sat opposite, watching me (as I thought) and trying to keep something like a conversation consisting chiefly of commonplace remarks. In fact, my attention was almost wholly absorbed in my dinner: not from appetite, but from the toughness of the beef

65、steaks, and the numbness of my hands. “I have had so little time to attend to their education myself, but I think they are clever children, and very willing to learn, especially the little boy; he is, I think, the flower of the flock a generous, noble-spirited boy, one to be led, but not driven, and

66、 remarkable for always speaking the truth.” “His sister Mary Ann will require watching,” continued she, “but she is a very good girl on the whole, though I wish her to be kept out of the nursery as much as possible, as she is now almost six years old, and might acquire bad habits from the nurses. I

67、have ordered her bed to be placed in your room, and if you will be so kind as to look after her washing and dressing, and take charge of her clothes, she needs to have nothing further to do with the nursery maid.”I replied I was quite willing to do so; and at that moment the children entered the roo

68、m. Tom Bloomfield was a well-grown boy of seven. Mary was a tall girl, for her age of six, somewhat dark like her mother. The second sister was Fanny, a very pretty little girl, looking little younger than Mary. The remaining one was Harriet, a little broad, fat, merry, playful thing of scarcely two

69、, whom I had more desire for than all the rest but with her I had nothing to do.67. Which of the following statements best describes how the writer felt when she entered Mrs. Bloomfields home? A. She was nervous, dissatisfied with her manners but still confident. B. She was cold, hungry but eager to

70、 see all the children in the family. C. She was frightened, nervous and regretful about her decision. D. She was calm, confident and very happy with all the family.68. What job would the writer take in Mrs Bloomfields home? A. A nursery maid. B. A house cleaner. C. A home cook. D. A family teacher.6

71、9. Which of the following was TRUE according to the passage? A. The writer had some difficulty with her lunch because of the tough food and the cold. B. The delicious food took the writers attention away from Mrs. Bloomfields words. C. All the children were well educated before the writer came to th

72、e family. D. All the children in the family were looked after by Mrs Bloomfield herself.70. From the passage, we can infer that _. A. Mrs Bloomfield would treat the writer kindly and help her a lot B. The youngest girl Harriet would be the writers favorite student C. the writer would take on more re

73、sponsibilities than she should D. Tom Bloomfield would be the cleverest of all the children第四部分：任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。Talk about happinessWe should not hesitate too much during the first half of our lives, while we should not

74、regret at what weve done during the other half. We should seize every opportunity to find a way out in our lives, for it goes off swiftly. We should say something urgent slowly, something serious clearly, something small humorously and something unsure cautiously. We should never say something that

75、did not happen, something that you cannot do, something that does harm to others, and something that is disgusting. We should tell others our happiness on specific occasions and should not tell anyone our unhappiness. Do not easily say something about others. We should follow our own heart and inter

76、est, and fulfill what we should do instead of merely paying lip service and looking forward to the future.Everyone is longing for a happy life, but owning wealth does not necessarily mean owning happiness. To truly reach happiness, we need to know how to get on with others. So we need to understand

77、what happiness is really about and achieve what we desire.We need to know and understand happiness before we finally get it. A smart man must know to do something good even though it may be small, and not to do something evil even though it may be tiny in the course of socializing. As long as we kee

78、p a kind heart and do everything morally and legally, we can live a peaceful life. But if we keep an evil heart and do whatever we want, we are indeed digging a tomb for ourselves. A smart man knows to learn a lesson from his falls, for he knows that every setback is a precious experience leading to

79、 happiness in the future. He will not waste his time in criticizing others. Instead, he tends to spend more time seeking his own happiness. He knows to keep a heart of conscience and not to spread others mistakes. He also knows to think before he leaps so that he will not feel regretful afterwards.

80、Moreover, he knows to tolerate others, so he can naturally lead a happy life.Without happiness, one will feel terribly miserable, for he always insists that he has done the right thing all the time and that others often do wrong to him. He blames every mistake on others or the environment instead of

81、 reflecting on himself, which keeps him farther and farther away from happiness. A celebrity once said, “Nobody intends to make mistakes. One makes mistakes because of his ignorance.” Therefore, if someone makes mistakes, we need to care about him, forgive him and enlighten him by setting a good exa

82、mple to him instead of losing temper and hating him. Otherwise, we are also ignorant like him, for we also make a stupid mistake that leads us farther from happiness.In order to possess a happy life, we need to know more about others, about the society, about our culture and history. We should be pa

83、triotic(爱国的), obey the law and realize our own responsibility, and then we will definitely have a happy life.TitleTalk about happinessWise actions in lifeDo things without(71)_and never regret at anything .Seize every opportunity to do the things we should.
