During the test, the girl sitting next to me whispered something, but I didnt understand. So I leaned over her way and found out that s
13、he was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk. Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the oth
14、er students were dismissed. As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible (负责任) for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized the fact that when peo
15、ple do something dishonest, they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things. Later on, I found out t
16、hat she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girls test paper. I tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed very very strange to her that I hadnt talked of anything about t
17、he pen the day she talked to me right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her use my pen, I am sure she continued to believe that I had cheated on the test.26. The story took place exactly _ . A. in the teachers office B. in an exam room C. in
18、 the school D. in the language lab27. The girl wanted to borrow a pen, because _ . A. she had not brought a pen with her B. she had lost her own on her way to school C. there was something wrong with her penD. her own had been taken away by someone28.

Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may ex
21、change Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but th
22、en may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.Another difficult point
23、for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they dont show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, w
24、e, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily
25、 routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably. For the Americans, it is often cons
26、idered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!31. The writer of this passage must be _.A. an American B. a Chinese C. a professor D. a student32. Which of the following statements is TRUE acco
27、rding to the passage?A. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.B. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.C. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.D. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long brea
28、k.33. From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be _.A. warmly welcomed at the airport B. offered a ride to his homeC. treated hospitably at his home D. treated to dinner in a restaurant34. The underlined words “generous wi
29、th our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean _. A. strict with time B. serious with timeC. careful with time D. willing to spend time35. A suitable title for this passage would probably be “_”. A. Friendships between Chinese B. Friendships between AmericansC. Americans hospitality D. Americans and Chin
30、eses views of friendships C Susan Sontag (1933 - 2004) was one of the most noticeable figures in the world of literature. For more than 40 years she made it morally necessary to know everything- to read every book worth reading, to see every movie worth seeing. When she was still in her early 30s, p
31、ublishing essays in such important magazines as Partisan Review, she appeared as the symbol of American culture life, trying hard to follow every new development in literature, film and art. With great effort and serious judgment, Sontag walked at the latest edges of world culture. Seriousness was o
32、ne of Sontags lifelong watchwords (格言), but at a time when the barriers between the well-educated and the poorly-educated were obvious, she argued for a true openness to the pleasure of pop culture. In Notes Camp, the 1964 essay that first made her name, she explained what was then a little-known se
33、t of difficult understandings, through which she could not have been more famous. Notes on Camp, she wrote, represents “a victory of form over content, beauty over morals”. By conviction she was a sensualist (感觉论者), but by nature she was a moralist, and in the works she published in the 1970s and 19
34、80s, it was the latter side of her that came forward. In Illness as Metaphor -published in 1978, after she suffered cancer - she argued against the idea that cancer was somehow a special problem of repressed (被压抑的) personalities, a concept that effectively blamed the victim for the disease. In fact,
35、 re-examining old positions was her lifelong habit. In America, her story of a 19th century Polish actress who set up a perfect society in California, won the National Book Award in 2000. But it was as a tireless, all-purpose cultural view that she made her lasting fame. “Sometimes,” she once said,
36、“I feel that, in the end, all I am really defending is the idea of seriousness, of true seriousness.” And in the end, she made us take it seriously too.36. It is implied but not stated in the first paragraph that Sontag _. A. was a symbol of American cultural life B. developed world literature, film
37、 and art C. published many essays about world culture D. kept pace with the newest development of world culture37. She first won her name through _. A. publishing essays in magazines like Partisan Review B. her story of a Polish actress C. her explanation of a set of difficult understandings D. her
38、book Illness as Metaphor38. From the works Susan published in the 1970s and 1980s, we can learn that _. A. she was more of a moralist than a sensualist B. she was more of a sensualist than a moralist C. she believed repressed personalities mainly led to illness D. she would like to re-examine old po
39、sitions39. According to the passage, Susan Sontag would agree to the ideas except _. A. We should try hard to follow every new development in literature, film and art. B. Cancer can be defeated because it is a special problem of repressed personalities. C. Form should be over content, beauty should
40、be over morals. D. We should defend the idea of seriousness, of true seriousness.40. What is the passage mainly about? A. A lifelong watchword: seriousness B. Susan Sontag is the symbol of American culture C. How Susan Sontag became famous D. An introduction to Susan Sontag and her watchwordDMany ci

68、nt was constantly disturbed by a restless fly, who asked the elephant about the secret of remaining calm. The elephant revealed that calmness would be obtained when ones senses and attention were focused.After reading the story, I was inspired by what the elephant said. The ability to focus ones attention is the key to success in doing anything. Just like the fly, a person who is easily distracted by the surroundings will feel restless and tired, unable to achieve his success. This reminds me of what happened when I entered high school as a Senior One student.
