Instead，Momgot my wardrobe(全部衣物) from neighborhood mothers. Imagine the fun other kids had when they saw me wearing their used clothing.Perhaps my biggest challenge came from Charlie. As far as I was concerned, Charlie's main fun was to make fun of me. During those years, I slowly learned to hate. I hated Charlie, but I also hated myself for not being able to change my situation.But situations do change. That opportunity came after high school when I joined the Navy The Navy made me a social equal for the first time in my life, and the GI Bill gave me a college education. Hard work and a few lucky career choices finally lifted me into the middle class.One beautiful summer afternoon, my friend and I celebrated Friday in Jackson's Steak House. For the first time in almost twenty years, I saw Charlie. Not only did I see him, but he spoke to me. I could tell he didn't recognize me, but I surely recognized my childhood tormentor(折磨者).His words were short, but I'll never forget them. He said, "Sir, what kind of dressing would you like with your salad?”The tables had turned. Charlie was calling me “Sir”. While hundreds of improper ideas raced through my mind, I could only give a two word reply: “Blue cheese." As much as I wanted to taste the sweet taste of revenge(复仇), I refused to do it. I wouldn't put another person through what I had gone through as a child. It was time to put childish things behind me and make use of the new opportunity that life had given me. I left him a good tip and I didn't say one word about recognizing him.(   )4. Where did the author usually get his clothes as a kid?A. His mom bought them for him.B. They were from other families.C.

Don't hate but love your enemyD. Grow up and let it goC篇Marie Tharp, who was born in Michigan in 1920, produced one of the world's first maps ofthe ocean floor. As a female, Tharp never thought she could do soil surveying like her father. Women during her time were prevented from working in the science field. Jobs for young women were limited in options to: secretary, bookkeeper, nurse, school teacher or librarian.During World War Il, since many of the men were off fighting, there were some opportunities for women to fill certain job roles. She earned her Master's Degree in Geology in 1944, and another university degree in mathematics in 1948. After receiving her degree, she worked as a research assistant at the Lamont Geological Laboratory in Columbia University. While there, she met Bruce Heezen who she would work together with for the next 30 yearsBefore the 1950s, little was known about the layout(布局) of the ocean floor. Tharp and Heezen became part of a research project to map it. However, women at that time were not allowed or boats. So Heezen went out and collected the data, which was sent to Tharp back at home. Working with only pens and rulers, she drew the details of the ocean floor using longitude(经度)by latitude (纬度) degree. It was a technical process, but Tharp got the task done. The first published map of the North Atlantic Ocean was in 1957. It showed that the ocean floor was not flat, but covered with features like canyons, ridges, and mountains just like on land. In 1977, Tharp completed a full world's ocean map titled The World Ocean Floor.Marie Tharp is regarded as a pioneer in field ruled by men. Although more thorough maps of the ocean floor exist today, the influence of Tharp and her mapping of the ocean floor are still with us. Her work helped bring to life the unknown ocean world, and helped prove important information about our earth's development.(   )8. What do we know about women at Tharp's time?A. They were interested in maps.B. They couldn’t work in science field.C.They could do the same jobs as men.D. They had a wide range of job choices.(   )9. What mainly made it possible for Tharp to work as a researcher?A. Men's going to war.B. Her meeting Heezen.C. Her father’s influence.D. Her work as a research assistant.(   )l0. What can be inferred about Tharp's scientific research?A. It was finished with difficulty.B. It was done with advanced tools.C. It was completed by Tharp alone.D. It was based on former researches.(   )11. Which of the following best describes Tharp?A. Responsible and caring.B. Adventurous and frank.C. Determined and friendly.D. Professional and devoted.D篇Make up Your Mind to SucceedKind-hearted parents have unknowingly left their children defenseless against failure. The generation born between 1980 and 2001 grew up playing sports where scores and performance were played down because "everyone’s a winner”. And their report cards sounded more positive than ever before. As a result, Stanford University professor Carol Dweek, PhD, calls them “the overpraised generation”Dweek has been studying how people deal with failure for 40 years. Her research has led her to find out two clearly different mind-sets that have a great effect on how we react to it. Here's how they work:A fixed mind-set is grounded in the belief that talent is genetic-you're a born artist, point guard, or numbers person. The fixed mind-set believes it's sure to succeed without much effort and regards failure as personal shame. When things get difficult, it’s quick to blame, lie, and even stay away from future difficulties.On the other hand, a growth mind-set believes that no talent is entirely heaven-sent and that effort and learning make everything possible. Because the ego(自尊) isn’t on the line as much, the growth mind-set sees failure as a chance rather than shame. When faced with a difficulty, it’s quick to rethink, change and try again. In fact, it enjoys this experience.We are all born with growth mind-sets. (Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to live in the world.) But parents, teachers, and instructors often push us into fixed mind-sets by encouraging certain actions and misdirecting praise. Dweek's book, Mind-set: The New Psychology of Success, and online instructional program explain this in depth. But she says there are many little things you can start doing today to make sure that your children, grandchildren and even you are never defeated by failure(   )l2. What does the author think about the present generation?A. They don’t do well at school.B. They are often misunderstood.C. They are eager to win in sports.D. They are given too much praise.(   )13. A fixed mind-set person is probably one who________.A. doesn't want to work hardB. cares a lot about personal safetyC. cannot share his ideas with othersD. can succeed with the help of teachers(   )14. What does the growth mind-set believe?A. Admitting failure is shameful.B. Talent comes with one's birth.C. Scores should be highly valued.D. Getting over difficulties is enjoyable.(   )l5. What should parents do for their children based on Dweek's study?A. Encourage them to learn from failures.B. Prevent them from making mistakes.C. Guide them in doing little things.D. Help them grow with praise.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Astronauts drink their own pee(尿)-after it's been cleaned.  16   Many experts, though, argue that recycling pee and other waste is an excellent and safe solution when there isn't enough fresh water.17   All of the water that astronauts use to drink, brush their teeth, or make coffee comes out of one limited container that has to be resupplied from Earth. To help save water, the waste from sinks, toilets, and even the pee from lab animals on board flows into a recycling system, First, the water goes through a series of filters(过滤器). Then, chemical reactions remove poisonous chemicals and kill any bacteria or viruses.   18  Chris Hadfield, who lived on the space station for five months, says, “Before you feel uncomfortable with the thought of drinking your leftover wash water and your leftover pee, keep in mind that the water that we end up with is cleaner than most of the water that you drink on a daily basis at home."Astronauts, however, tend to be more adventurous than the average person. On Earth, cities in very dry parts of the world have attempted to introduce waste water purification(净化) systems.19    Citizens reacted with strong dislike. Despite scientific evidence that the water is clean, many people just can’t get over the fact that it once flowed through a toilet. In the 1990s, activists in San Diego and Los Angeles campaigned against “toilet to tap" water.   20  In a survey of 2,000 Americans, 26 percent agreed with the statement: “It is impossible for recycled water to be treated to a high enough quality that I would want to use it.”A. And you wouldn’t be aloneB. And the disapproval remained strong.C. What comes out is clean enough to drinkD. On the International Space Station, water is a valuable resource.E. Lots of people feel sick at the thought of drinking recycled waste water.F. Though some of these programs have succeeded, others failed miserably.G. Would you pick up a glass of water that's been through a waste water cleaning system?16._____   17.______   18.______ 19.______   20.______第二部分 语言运用［共两节，满分30分］第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。From the moment my husband brought home three chicks, our nine-year-old Sophie hasn't let them out of her sight.

It was a cold, silent winter night. His mind was on his wife Linda, who had been in a car accident two months ago andwas now lying in a hospital bed, waiting for more money for her operation. Jack had sold everything he had, and he had tried his best to borrow money from all the people and banks he could. But the real world is cruel. A large amount of money was still needed. To Jack, it would mean a great deal of suffering to see his wife die without any help. “I have only one choice left," Jack said to himself. Then he went to the bank, his workplace, again. For several days, he observed the bank and planned a theft(盗窃). Then next day, he went to work as usual. Everything seemed normal: He joked with his workmates and helped his clients as he always did. But no one noticed that he had brought a bigger suitcase to work. After work, all clerks had gone home. However, at that moment, Jack was in the bathroom, and the guards didn't notice him, of course. When the noises coming from the street were replaced by silence and everything turned dark, Jackcame out from the bathroom. He first cut the lines of the alarms and monitors with tools from his new suitcase. He was all too familiar with the equipment since he had been working there for 8 years and had been studying the security system for the past 30 days. Using a special key and some other tools, he then easily opened the doors of the safes. The bank's security system wasn't very good, which allowed Jack to take a lot of money. Several minutes later, Jack left the bank with a heavy bag filled with money.注意:1.续写词数应为150 左右;2.请按如下格式在相应的横线上作答。Paragraph 1:After Jack had been gone from the bank for a while, the alarms began to ring.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2:But the most unlucky man was the manager of the bank, an old man._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________                             参考答案阅读：1-3:CBA   4-7:BABD   8-11:BAAD    12-15:DADA七选五：16-20:EDCFB完形填空： 21-25:CBCDA   26-30:DACAD   31-35:BBDCB语法填空： 36.studying.   37.to walk.   38.where.   39.decades.   40.an.   41.found.   42.historical.   43.and.   44.it.   45.diversity.写作：第一节One possible version:Dear Phil,I am writing to tell you something about “Mum's Restaurant”,a newly built restaurant.Located near my school, this is a typical local traditional restaurant,serving tofu, hot pot, black pudding, bacon, sausage, roast and other sorts of homemade dishes by its own chef.

The police arrived at the bank very quickly, only to find no one there. The next day was a really special day for the town, which was filled with newspapers and TV reporters covering the strange theft. The clerks at the bank were busy discussing the case, of course, including Jack. The police could only promise to catch the thieves as soon as possible, even though no clues had been found yet.Paragraph 2:But the most unlucky man as the manager of the bank, an old man. He seemed to be the only person to blame and was removed from his position. At last, with enough money for her operation, Jack's wife was saved. However, Jack felt guilty about the manager of the bank. He could not forget what he had done to the old man. His guilt deepened as time went by. Finally, he made a choice that he turned himself in to the police and accepted his punishment.
