Shes the host and owner of The Oprah Winfrey Show, which continuingly wi
28、ns high ratings, and the founder of Harpo Productions, which produces her television shows and movies. Certainly Winfrey feels right these days. Early on, however, Winfrey seemed more like a candidate for welfare rolls than film roles. She stayed with her grandmother after birth and moved to Wiscons
29、in to live with her mother at 6, and hence began the most difficult period in her life. They lived in the low-income community and her mother showed her less attention. Her classmates came from families with more money and she couldnt participate with them in a lot of activities.The young girl had h
30、eld too much anger and pain inside and she rebelled. She repeatedly ran away from home and got into various troubles. During that time, she turned heavy smoker, became addicted to alcohol and drug and was sent to a juvenile detention home(青少年拘留所) at the age of 13. Fed up, Oprahs mother sent her to T
31、ennessee to live with her father. To a large extent, this man saved Oprahs life and helped pave the way for her success. She received a full scholarship to Tennessee State University where she majored in Speech and Performing Arts. After graduation, she landed a job as a news reader at a television
32、station, where she did not do well at first. But she did not give up; instead, she worked harder. She put in long hours and prepared carefully before going on camera.Her hard work paid off: she moved up swiftly to news reader and reporter in Baltimore and was offered her own talk show in 1977. From
33、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 think the ones w
34、ho survive in life do it by hammering at it one day at a time.” Well, by doing so, she won the game.56. By mentioning “Winfrey seemed more like a candidate for welfare rolls than film roles” in Paragraph 2, the author indicates that _. A. she was interested in acting and applied for roles in many fi
35、lms, but failed. B. she was more interested in working for charities than in films. C. she lived a poor life and had to depend on the government for food. D. the film companies wouldnt offer her roles because she was too poor.57. Which of the following is NOT the cause of her bad behaviors as a teen
36、ager? A. Her mother had no time to take good care of her. B. Her classmates families were very rich. C. She couldnt take part in activities with her classmates. D. She had too much anger and pain inside.58. Oprah Winfrey succeeded at last chiefly due to _. A. her hard childhood living with her grand
37、mother. B. her hard work and the spirit of not giving up. C. her good performance in the juvenile detention home. D. her major in Speech and Performing Arts in college.59.

A. 165.9 B. 152.95 C. 258.9 D. 305.9CDeath Valley, one of Americas great national parks, is a pla
48、ce 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 the lowest area of
49、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 summer has been
50、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. It will continue to kill those who do not honor this extreme climate. Death Valley does not forgive those who are not careful
51、.Death Valley is a good example of the violence of nature. It contains evidence of several ancient volcanoes that caused huge explosions. Evidence of one of these explosions is called Ubehebe Crater. The explosion left a huge hole in the ground almost a kilometer and a half wide.In many areas of Dea
52、th 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 violently broke and
53、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 believe it is the dries
54、t place in the United States. Death Valley, part of the Great Mojave Desert, is a huge place. It extends more than 225 kilometers across the southern part of California, and across the border with Nevada.63. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.

There might have been marine lives living in Death Valley.64. Why were some people killed by Death Valley? A. Because
56、 they didnt respect Death Valley and thus they were punished. B. Because it is extremely hot in summer and dangerously cold in winter. C. Because they were not careful enough to take with them what they needed. D. Because several volcanoes erupted and caused huge explosions. 65. The underlined word
57、“twisted” in Paragraph 4 most possibly mean _. A. bent and turned B. created and developed C. built and shaped D. changed and ruined66. The purpose of the article is to _. A. encourage people to visit Death Valley, a beautiful national park in America B. warn people not to visit Death Valley because
58、 it is quite dangerous there C. introduce to us readers a special national park in America, Death Valley D. raise money for the protection of Death Valley because it is in danger nowD As we drove along, my spirits went up again, and I turned, with pleasure, to the thought of the new life which I was
59、 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 when we entered the
60、 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; but, thanks to th
61、e 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 with them.Be cal
62、m, 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 greeting; and it afterwa
63、rds 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 were set before me;
64、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 beefsteaks, and the n
65、umbness 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 remarkable for a
66、lways 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 have ordered her
67、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 room. Tom Bloomfield
68、 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, whom I had more
69、 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 see all the chil
70、dren 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.69. Which of the f
71、ollowing 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 the family. D. All
72、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 responsibilities th
73、an 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 regret at what we
74、ve 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 did not happen, s
75、omething 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 interest, and fulfill
76、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 what happiness is
77、 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 keep a kind heart an
78、d 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 happiness in the
79、 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. Moreover, he know
80、s 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 reflecting on hi
81、mself, 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 example to him inste
82、ad 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 patriotic(爱国的), obe
83、y 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.
