Bea, a five-year-old girl, was born with a severe illness which means she has to be kept away from other children of her age, because her body is so weak that she would be unable to fight off a common cold.
Bea was diagnosed(诊断)with this disease when she was five months old. Since then, the hospital has become her second home, medicines for food, and all kinds of treatments her friends. Bea received a very special treatment when she was four years old, which would allow her to be like a normal child if successful. After that, she spent two weeks in ICU before living for four months on a separate ward(病房). Bea was allowed home in February but still needed a special tube in her nose to send in medicines every two days.
Her parents clean the house from top to bottom every two days and hoover(吸尘器清扫)each morning to make sure Bea is free from any possible bacteria. Anna, Bea’s mother, said, ―she is weak but so strong. We’ve never seen any child stronger than her. It seems as if nothing in the world could beat her. We really hope to send her to school next year.‖ She used to drive on the
4
local playground, but Bea was only allowed to watch sitting in the car. ―It was heartbreaking to see Bea staring at the running and laughing children there. She never stopped fighting the disease. I know she’s dying for such a normal life.‖

Many years ago my student asked me a question, ―Mrs Kindred, why do you teach?‖ Without taking time to reflect, I answered, ―Because someday I might say something that might make a difference in someone’s life,‖ Even though I was sincere, that wasn’t a very good answer and my student didn’t let it slide.
―Let me get this straight,‖ he said. ―You went to college for four years so that you could come here every day because you have the hope that someday you might say something that will influence someone?‖ He shook his head as if I were crazy and walked away looking confused. I’m one of those people who look back and wish they had said something smart or witty.
Even though that particular student might no longer wonder why I teach, There are days when I wonder. On those days, I remind myself of the real reasons why I teach: it’s in my blood. My mother was my most influential teacher, and she was a 6th grade reading teacher until her death in 1990. She instilled(逐渐灌输)into me a love of reading and the knowledge that education opens doors.
Teaching is a way to make a difference. If you throw a stone in the pond, the ripples go on and on until they reach the shore. You can’t have ripples without a ―stone‖. Good teachers throw stones that make a positive difference, and that’s what I strive(努力)to do.
I genuinely love teenagers.
5
I want to share with others what I know and what I have learned through the years. Life is full of ups and downs, and if I can help students avoid some potholes(坑洼)on the road of life, I want to do so . If they’ll allow me to celebrate their victories with them, I want to do so too.
Teaching isn’t for everyone, but I know I made the right career choice.
60. What was the answer that the author gave to her student to the question why she taught? A. She loved teenagers. B. Her mother influenced her a lot.
C. She thought something she said might make a difference to her students. D. She wanted to share her knowledge with others.

C. He didn’t want to talk about the question with the author any more. D. The author’s reply made him feel confused. 62. It can be inferred from the text that .

C
Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.
However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good , and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.
Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at
6
whatever it is you put all that work into.
64. Paragraph l mainly talks about . A. the reasons for success B. the meaning of success C. the standards of success D. the importance of success 65. In paragraph 2, the underlined word that refers to . A. being good at something B. setting a practical goal C. putting in more time D. succeeding in life 66. Successful people suggest doing what one loves because . A. work makes one feel pain B. one tends to enjoy his work C. one gives up his work easily D. it takes a lot of time to succeed 67. what can we infer from paragraph 4?
A. Successful people like to show their great skills. B. people sometimes succeed without luck or talent. C. people need to achieve success at the cost of life. D. It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.
D
Have you ever picked a job based on the fact that you were good at it but later found it made you feel very uncomfortable over time? When you select your career, there’s a whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position. If you ignore your personality, it will hurt you in the long term regardless of your skills or the pay. There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job. Here are a few of those main areas:
1)Do you prefer working alone or with other people?
There are isolating jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy. Most people ars not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer. There are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two, which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation.
2)How do you handle change?
Most jobs these days have some elements of change, but some have more than others. If you need stability in your life, you may need a job where the change doesn’t happen so often. Other people might be bored of the same daily routine.
3)Do you enjoy working with computers?
I do see this as a kind of personality characteristic. There are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer, while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day. Again, these are extremes and you’ll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.
4)What type of work environment do you enjoy?
This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you won’t know immediately to a smaller setting where you’ll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly.
5)How do you like to get paid?
Some people are motivated by the pay they get, while others feel too stressed to be like that. The variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this.
7
Anyway, this is a great starting point for you. I’ve seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love. It may take you a little longer, but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.
68. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Isolating jobs usually drive people mad. B. Interactive jobs make people shy easily. C. Extreme people tend to work with others.
D. Almost everyone has a tendency in selecting a job.
69. The underlined word ―stability‖ in the passage most probably means― ‖ A. no movement B. no anger C. gentleness D. enthusiasm 70. In a job search, what quality is not mentioned in the passage? A. Outgoing B. Motivated. C. Cooperative D. passionate. 71. What could be the best title for this passage? A. Lifestyles and Job Pay B. Jobs and Environment C. Job Skills and Abilities D. Personalities and Jobs

Snow falls in the Earth’s extreme North and South throughout the year. However, the heaviest snowfalls have been reported in the mountains of other areas during winter. Snow is even known to fall near the Equator(赤道)，but only on the highest mountains.
Snow contains much less water than rain, but much of the water the world uses comes from snow. Melting snow provides water for rivers, electric power stations and agricultural crops. In the western United States, mountain snow provides up to seventy-five percent of all surface water supplies.
Snowfall helps to protect plants and some wild animals from winter weather. Fresh snow is made largely of air trapped among the snow crystals (晶体). Because the air has trouble moving, the movement of heat is limited. Snow also influences the movement of sound waves. The surface of the snow takes in, or absorbs, sound waves. As snow grows older or if there have been strong winds, it can become hard and flat. Then, the snow’s surface will help to send back sound waves.
Snow may be beautiful, but it can be deadly, It is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of people. Many people die in traffic accidents on roads covered with snow and ice or from being seriously stuck in the winter storm. Others die from heart attacks caused by too much physical activity out in the cold.
People may not be able to avoid living in areas where it snows often. However, they can avoid becoming victims of snowstorms. People should stop driving and stay at home until the storm has passed. People living in these areas should carry emergency supplies in their vehicles. These include food, emergency medical supplies, and extra clothing to stay warm and dry. 72. Mountain snowfall .
A. is heavier than that in the South and the North Poles B. has never occurred near the Equator of the Earth C. brings less of the water the world uses than rain does

C. absorbing strong winds D. sending back sound waves 74. Snow can be deadly mainly because it can . A. cause road accidents
B. make people stuck in winter storms C. lead to heart attacks

B. Where we can get emergency supplies.
C. How to prevent heart attacks out in the cold. D. Why we should stay warm and dry in winter

56—59 C D A C 60—63 C D B B 64—67 A B D B 68—71 D A C D 72—75 A B D C 作文范文1 Dear friends, I used to be under great pressure when I was in Senior Three, eager to be admitted by an ideal university but at the same time anxious about my final scores. Luckily, I finally managed to get through and realized my dream.
To help you lessen your anxiety, I have some suggestions for you to follow. Firstly, don’t aim too high. Make a practical study plan and focus on the basic knowledge in your learning. Secondly, make good use of your time. Stay concentrated when you are doing your lessons. After class, do some physical exercise and make sure that you have enough sleep. Thirdly, learn to reduce your pressure. If you have some difficulties or feel worried, talk with your family members or friends. Of course, you can also find some other ways to relax yourselves.
Sincerely hope that my suggestions could be helpful and wish you good luck in the coming College Entrance Exam.
Yours sincerely, Wang Jun 作文范文2
No one is perfect, and no one never makes any mistakes. Mistakes are the best teachers who guide us through difficulties. Therefore, the first thing we should bear in mind is that mistakes are actually stepping stones to our progress. In fact, mistakes will make us learn and improve. In my opinion, we should not regard mistakes as something embarrassing；instead, we should consider them as valuable learning.
Sometimes mistakes can open up new horizons. Many scientists may make a great number of mistakes before they make a discovery. British scientist Alexander Fleming wrongly left his experiment room window open, which led to his discovery of penicillin, a powerful modern medicine.
We should not be afraid of making mistakes, because sometimes through mistakes there can be more discovery or progress. Just as an old saying goes, ―experience is the mother of wisdom‖
