10、d remaining true to that dream. One particular _43_with Coach John changed my life forever. A friend recommended me for a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket- money for a new bike, new clothes and the _44_ of saving for a house for my mother. Then I realized I would have to _45_ u
11、p summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell John I wouldnt be playing. When I told John, he was _46_ as I expected him to be. “You have your whole life to work,” he said “Your _47_days are limited. You cant afford to waste them.” I stood before him with my head
12、 _48_, trying to think of the _49_ that would explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his _50_ in me. “How much are you going to make at this job, son?” he asked.”3.5 dollars an hour,” I replied. “Well,” He asked, “ is $3.5 an hour the pric

17、阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分） ASure, its good to get along with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.And yes, its good to get along with your teacher because, in general, its smart to learn how to relate to the different types of people youll meet throughout your
18、 life.But really, theres one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. When you do, “learning bursts right open,” says Evelyn Vuko, a longtime teacher who writes an education column called “Teacher Says” for the Washington Post newspaper.In fact, kids who get along with thei
19、r teachers not only learn more, but theyre more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems
20、with learning or school issues, such as bullying（欺凌弱小者）.As a kid in a primary or middle school, youre at a wonderful stage in your life. You re like a sponge（海绵）, able to soak up lots of new and exciting information. On top of that, youre able to think about all this information in new ways. Your te
21、acher knows that, and in most cases, is very excited to be the person whos giving you all that material and helping you put it together. Remember, teachers are people, too, and they feel great if youre open to what theyre teaching you. Thats why they wanted to be teachers in the first place to teach
22、!Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive（敏感的）to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things arent going well, they wont learn as well and won t enjoy being in class.56In the passage, the author mainly talks about .
23、Ahow to get a long well with teachersBthe importance of a good relation with teachersChow much the students are expected of to get along with teachersDhow to make the time in the classroom more pleasant57“Learning bursts right open”in the third paragraph really means .Alearning becomes easier for yo
24、u at onceByou find an opening to learningCtherell be more problems with learningDtherell be no problems with learning58According to the passage, which of the following offers the best reasoning?A. You are getting on well with your teachers, so you have more questions than others.B. You find it comfo
25、rtable to ask questions, so you can build a good relationship with teachers.C. You have a good relationship with your teacher, so you can turn to him/her when in trouble.D. You are in trouble, so you can build a good relationship with teachers.59Which of the comments is FALSE on teachers and their w
26、ork according to the passage?ATeachers are excited even if you wouldnt like to accept their teaching.BTeachers sometimes have the same feelings as students do.CThough few there are still some students who can learn even if they dont like the teacher.DHaving a bad relationship with your teachers does
27、 more or less harm to your studies.BFrank Lloyd Wright probably is the greatest architect that the United States has ever produced. He was very gifted and had a natural ability to design buildings. His buildings were not only beautiful, but they were also practical and useful. They fit their purpose
28、s very well. Wrights churches, for example, make people feel like thinking and praying. His office buildings make people enjoy working, and his houses make people feel comfortable, at home. However, Frank Lloyd Wrights beautiful, practical and useful buildings are not the only reason that he is famo
29、us. There is another reason.Frank Lloyd Wright is called the greatest American architect because he started an American style in architecture. Most of the architecture in the United States before Wright was really European, not American. Wrights buildings do not look like old European buildings. The
30、y have their own style. Wrights ideas about style are still used in the United States and in other parts of the world.The most important idea in Frank Lloyd Wrights Style of Architecture is that a building must fit its purpose and the land around it. His houses are often called “grass-land houses” b
31、ecause their lines are similar to the lines on the grassland. Both the lines of the grassland and the lines of Wright s house are parallel to the horizon(与地平线平行), the place where earth and sky seem to meet. They are horizontal lines. Most European style houses, in contrast, have many vertical lines
32、that form 90angles with the horizon. 60Frank Lloyd Wrights style in architecture was _.Alearned from some European countries Bnot only limited to the U.SCno longer popular Dsomewhat similar to the European style61Which of the following best describes the character of the houses that Wright designed?
33、AThey were very large and beautiful.BThey were very comfortable.CThey could be used as churches.DThey were beautiful in design but not practical in use.62What is the most important idea in Wrights style?A. Architectural design should match natural surroundings.B. A building must have grassland aroun
34、d it.C. American style in architecture should be different from Europeans.D. Design should be more important than use.63Which of the following is NOT true about Wrights “grass-land houses”?A. The lines of “grass-land houses” are similar to lines on the grassland.B. The lines of “grass-land houses” a
35、re horizontal.C. The color of the lines of “grass-land houses” is green.D. They are different from European style houses.CLanguage as a System of SymbolsOf all systems of symbols (符号), language is the most highly developed. It has been pointed out that human beings, by agreement, can make anything s
36、tand for anything. Human beings have agreed, in the course of centuries of mutual (相互的)dependency, to let the various noises that they can produce with their lungs, throats, tongues, teeth, and lips systematically stand for certain happenings in their nervous systems. We call that system of agreemen
37、ts language.There is no necessary connection between the symbol and that which it stands for. Just as social positions can be symbolized by feathers worn on the head, by gold on the watch chain, or by a thousand other things according to the culture we live in, so the fact of being hungry can be sym
38、bolized by a thousand different noises according to the culture we live in.However obvious these facts may appear at first glance, they are actually not so obvious as they seem except when we take special pains to think about the subject. Symbols and the things they stand for are independent of each
39、 other, yet we all have a way of feeling as if, and sometimes acting as if, there were necessary connections. For example, there are people who feel that foreign languages are unreasonable by nature: foreigners have such funny names for things, and why cant they call things by their right names? Thi
40、s feeling exhibits itself most strongly in those English and American tourists who seem to believe that they can make the natives of any country understand English if they shout loud enough. Like the little boy who is reported to have said: “Pigs are called pigs because they are such dirty animals,”
41、 they feel that the symbol is inherently (内在地) connected in some way with the things symbolized.64. Language is a highly developed system of symbols because human beings _.A. have made use of language for centuriesB. use our nervous systems to support languageC. have made various noises stand for an
42、y eventsD. can make anything stand for anything by agreement65. What can we conclude from Paragraph 2? A. Different noises may mean different things.B. Our culture determines what a symbol stands for.C. The language we use symbolizes our social positions.D. Our social positions determine the way we
43、are dressed.66. In Paragraph 3, “take special pains” probably means “_”.A. try very hardB. take our timeC. are very unhappyD. feel especially painful67. The example of the little boy is used to show that _.A. adults often learn from their youngB. “pig” is a dirty word because pigs are dirtyC. words
44、are not connected with the things they stand forD. people sometimes have wrong ideas about how language worksDThe other day, my friend Jane was invited to a 40th birthday party. The time printed on the invitation was 7:30pm. Jane went off with her husband, expecting a merry evening of wine, food, an
45、d song.By 9:45, everybody was having great fun, but no food had appeared. Jane and David were restless. Other guests began whispering that they, too, were starving. But no one wanted to leave, just in case some food was about to appear. By 11:00, there was still no food, and everyone was completely
46、off their heads. Jane and David left hungry and angry.Their experience suggests that the words on the printed invitations need to be made clearer. Everyone reads and understands the invitations differently. Most of us would agree that 6:30 -8:30pm means drinks only, go out to dinner afterwards; 8:00
47、pm or 8:30pm means possible dinner, but 9:30pm and any time thereafter means no food, or at beforehand, roll up late.But this is not always the case. If asked to a students party at 6:30pm, it is normal for guests not to appear before midnight, if at all, and no one cares. Being the first to arrive
48、- looking eager - is social death. When my mother is asked to a party for 6:30, she likes to be on time, if not on time, then no later than seven. My age group (late thirties) falls somewhere between the two, but because we still think were young, were probably closer to student-time than grown-up t
49、ime.The accepted custom at present is confusing (混乱的), sometimes annoying, and it often means you may go home hungry, but it does give every party that precious element (成分) of surprise.68. The underlined words off their heads probably mean_.A. tired B. crazy C. curious D. hopeless69. Jane and David
50、 s story is used to show that_ .A. party-goers usually get hungry at partiesB. party invitations can be confusing C. people should ask for food at parties D. birthday parties for middle-aged people are dull70. For some young people, arriving on time for a students party will probably be considered_.
51、 A. very difficult B. particularly thoughtfulC. friendly and polite D. socially unacceptable71. According to the writer, people in their late thirties_.A. are likely to arrive late for a party B. care little about the party time C. haven t really grown up yet D. like surprises at parties72. What is
52、the general idea of the text? A. It s safe to arrive late just when food is served. B. It s wise to eat something before going to a party. C. It s important to follow social rules of party-going. D. It s necessary to read invitations carefully.E Brain-injured boy set for 1.75m payoutA YOUNGSTER who
