18、the Eiffel Tower. B The Board Meeting had come to an end. Bob started to stand up and knocked into the table, spilling his coffee over his notes. “How embarrassing! I am getting so clumsy in my old age.”Everyone had a good laugh, and soon we were all telling stories of our most embarrassing moments.
19、 It came around to Frank who sat quietly listening to the others. Someone said, “Come on, Frank. Tell us your most embarrassing moment.”Frank laughed and began to tell us of his childhood. “I grew up in San Pedro. My Dad was a fisherman, and he loved the sea. He had his own boat, but it was hard mak
20、ing a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to feed the family. Not just enough for our family, but also for his Mom and Dad and the other kids that were still at home.”He looked at us and said, “I wish you could have met my Dad. He was a big man, and he was str

23、e toward the school, I would shrink (畏缩) down into the seat hoping to disappear. Half the time, he would slam to a stop and the old truck would belch (喷出) a cloud of smoke.

Here, I was twelve years old, and my Dad would lean over and kiss me goodbye!”He paused and then went on, “I remember the day I decided I was too old for a goodbye kiss. When we got to the school and came
25、to a stop, he had his usual big smile. He started to lean toward me, but I put my hand up and said, “No, Dad.” It was the first time I had ever talked to him that way, and he had this surprised look on his face. I said, “Dad, Im too old for a goodbye kiss. Im too old for any kind of kiss.” My Dad lo
26、oked at me for the longest time, and his eyes started to tear up. Then he turned and looked out the windshield. “ Youre right,” he said. “ You are a big boy.a man. I wont kiss you anymore.”Frank got a funny look on his face, and the tears began to well up in his eyes, as he spoke. “It wasnt long aft
27、er that when my Dad went to sea and never came back. It was a day when most of the fleet (船队) stayed in, but not Dad. He had a big family to feed. They found his boat adrift with its nets half in and half out. He must have gotten into a strong wind and was trying to save the nets and the floats.”I l
28、ooked at Frank and saw that tears were running down his cheeks. Frank spoke again. “Guys, you dont know what I would give to have my Dad give me just one more kiss on the cheekto feel his rough old face to smell the ocean on him to feel his arm around my neck. I wish I had been a man then. If I had
29、been a man, I would never have told my Dad I was too old for a goodbye kiss.”25.

30、t his schoolmates to see his fatherD. he hated the way his schoolmates stared at his father26.

31、 deeply regretted what he had done to his fatherB. he was fed up with his father kissing him goodbyeC. he was then too young to refuse a goodbye kissD. he hoped that his father would forgive him28.

32、he Smell of the OceanD. Fathers EmbarrassmentCThe world is filled with smart, educated and gifted people. We meet them every day. A few days ago,my car was not running well. I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic(技工) fixed it in just a few minutes. He knew what was wrong by simply listenin
33、g to the engine sound. I was amazed. The sad truth is that great talent is not enough. I am so often shocked at how little talented people earn. I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $100,000 a year. A business advisor who specializes(专门研究)in the medical trade to
34、ld me many doctors struggle financially(挣扎于财务). He gave me the phrase,“They are one skill away from great wealth.” This phrase means that most people need only to learn one more skill and their income will increase greatly. However, most workers “live within their means”: they work and they pay the
35、bills. I suggest that young people find work for what they will learn,more than what they will earn. In my opinion, financial intelligence is important. When I ask the classes I teach,“How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonalds?” almost all the students raise their hands. I then ask,
36、“So if most of you can cook a better hamburger,how come McDonalds makes more money than you?” The answer is obvious: McDonalds is excellent at business systems. The world is filled with talented poor people. They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills
37、of selling and delivering the hamburger.29. The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show that_.A. he is ready to help others B. he has a sharp sense of hearingC. he knows little about car repairing D. he is just one of the talented people30.The underlined part in Paragraph 3 can b
38、e best replaced by “_”.A. do in their own way B. spend within what they earn C. live in their own circle D. pay more than they can earn 31. Why do talented people earn so little according to the author?A. They dont use their talents. B. They dont work hard enough.C. They lack financial intelligence.
39、D. They have no specialized skills. 32. The main purpose of the author is to tell us_.A. how McDonalds makes much moneyB. why so many talented people are poorC. what schools should teach about financeD. how young people can find a satisfactory jobDFor many parents,raising a teenager is like fighting
40、 a long war,but years go by without any clear winner.Like a border conflict between neighboring countries,the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?Both sides want peace,but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict.In part,this is be
41、cause neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it.From the parents point of view,the only cause of their fight is their adolescents complete unreasonableness.And of course,the teens see it in exactly the same way,except oppositely. Both feel trapped.In this article,Ill describe th
42、ree no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap.The first no-win situation is quarrel on unimportant things.Examples include the color of the teens hair,the cleanness of the bedroom,the preferred style of clothing,the childs failure to e
43、at a good breakfast before school,or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends.Second,blaming.The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong.Third,needing to be right.It doesnt matter what the topic is-politics,the laws of
44、 physics,or the proper way to break an egg-the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong,for both wish to be considered an authority-someone who actually knows somethingand therefore to command respect.Unfortunately,as long as parents and teens continue to
45、 assume that they know more than the other,theyll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.33. Why does the author compare the parent teen war to a border conflict?A. Both can continue for generations.B. Both are about where to draw the line.C. Neither has any clear w
46、inner.D. Neither can be put to an end.34. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?A. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.B. The teens accuse their parents of misleading them.C. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.D. The teens tend to have a f
47、ull understanding of their parents.35. What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?A. Examples of the parent-teen warB.Causes for the parent-teen conflictsC. Solutions for the parent-teen problemsD. Future of the parent-teen relationship 第二节(共5小题; 每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后
