A

When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.
He listened to me quietly, and then he asked, “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”
I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I got a fairly clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feel hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”
Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.
21．What did the father do after he had heard his daughter’s complaint?
A. He refused to take the list and have a look at it.
B. He told her not to pay any attention to what her “enemy” had said.
C. He was angry and told her to overcome her shortcomings.
D. He told her to write down all and pay attention only to the things that were true.
22．What does “Week by week her list grew” mean?
A. Week by week she discovered and pointed out more shortcomings of mine.
B. She kept on adding new ones to the list so it was growing longer and longer.
C. I was having more and more shortcomings as time went on.
D. Week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious.
23．Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?
A. My Father
B. My Childhood
C. The Best Advice I’ve Ever Had
D. Not an Enemy, but the Best Friend

Considering Australia' s size and the fact that early settlements were far apart, Australian society is remarkably homogeneous ( 同种的). Its citizens are fundamentally prosperous and the way of life in the major cities and towns is much the same however many miles divide them. It takes a sharp ear to identify regional accents.
However, there is some difference in lifestyle between city settlers and the country people. Almost 90 percent of the population lives in the fast-paced cities along the coast and has little more than a passing familiarity with the desert. The major cities preserve images of colonial heritage, but the overall impression is modem, with new buildings reflecting the country' s youth. In contrast, the rural communities tend to be slow-moving and conservative. For many years, Australia was said to have "ridden on the sheep' s back" , a reference to wool being the country' s main money earner. However, it is no longer dominant ( 主宰的) . Much of Australia' s relatively sound economy is now achieved from natural coal and wheat, and by being the largest diamond producer in the world. Newer industries such as tourism and wine making are also increasingly important. Australians are generally friendly and relaxed, with a modest sense of humor.
Yet, contrary to widespread belief, very few Australians have true prisoner origins. Within only one generation of the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, Australia had become a nation of immigrants. Originally coming almost entirely from the British Isles, today one in three Australians comes from elsewhere. Australia' s liberal postwar immigration policies led to a flowing of survivors from war-torn Europe, most notably Greeks, Italians, Poles and Germans.
The emphasis has shifted in recent years and today the majority of new immigrants are from Southeast Asia. Today Australia is a "mixture of nations" and although some racism exists, it has generally been a successful experiment and the country is reasonably proud to have one of the most harmonious multicultural communities in the world.
24． What does the writer mean by saying "has little more than a passing familiarity with the desert" in the second paragraph?
A. The major population has a close relationship with the desert.
B. The fast-paced cities are just located by the desert.
C. The major population knows little about the desert.
D. The major population is familiar with the people living in the desert.
25． Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The pace of life in the city is different from that in the country.
B. One third of people living in Australia come from Europe.
C. The Australian economy is dependent on sheep exports.
D. Most Australians have ancestors who were prisoners.
26． What used to be Australia' s main money earner?
A. Wheat. B. Wool. C. Tourism. D. Diamond.
27． We can infer from the passage that ____.
A. nothing about Australia' s colonial part in modem cities can be seen by visitors
B. tourism and wine making resulted in fast development in rural communities only
C. immigrants from Europe have brought racial problems
D. Australia' s recent immigration policy encourages immigrants from Southeast Asia

The old man fished alone in a small rowboat and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish. In the first forty days a boy had been with him. But after forty days without a fish the boy’s patents had told him that the old man was now bad luck, and ordered the boy to join another boat, which caught three good fish the first week. It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his boat empty and he always went down to help him carry in the fishing lines or take down the old, patched sail.
“Santiago,” the boy said to him as they dragged up the boat to the sand. “I could go with you again. I’ve made some money.” the old man had taught the boy to fish and the boy loved him. “No,” the old man said. “You’re with a lucky boat. Stay with them. You must obey your father.” “We can be lucky again too. Remember when we didn’t catch a fish for 10 days, then caught a big one each day for a month?” said the boy. “Can I offer you a beer on the balcony and then we’ll take the stuff home,” said the boy. “Why not?” the old man said.
“Santiago,” the boy said as they sat on the balcony, “If I cannot fish with you, I would like to serve in some way.” “You bought me a beer,” the old man said, lifting the bottle to his mouth. “Do you remember the first time I took you out to fish?” the old man asked. “I was five. I remember the tail of a huge fish slapping against the boat, the noise of you clubbing him and the sweet blood smell. I remember everything from when we first went together,” the boy said. The old man looked at him with his sun-burned, loving eyes.
“May I get some sardines for tomorrow? Let me get four fresh ones,” said the boy. “One,” the old man said. His hope and his confidence had never gone. But now they were freshening like a sea breeze. “Two,” the boy said. “Thank you,” the old man said. He was too simple to wonder when he had attained modesty. But he knew he had attained it and he knew it was not disgraceful and it carried no loss of true pride. “Tomorrow is going to be a good day with this wind,” he said. “I will row far out before it is light. There will going to be a good day with this wind,” he said. “I will row far out before it is light. There will be a big fish?” asked the boy. “I think so. And I know many tricks.”
28．Why was the boy forced to stop working for the old man?
A. It was too dangerous to continue fishing.
B. It was time for the boy to return to school.
C. The old man was thought to be a poor teacher.
D. The boy couldn’t earn enough money with the old man.
29．In paragraph 2, the boy probably mentioned their past fishing experiences in order to
__________.
A. convince the old man that he should not retire
B. explain why he had to stop working for the old man
C. persuade the old man to let him return as his assistant
D. warn the old man about the danger of fishing in the deep sea
30．Which of the following did the boy NOT do for the old man?
A. Buy him a beer. B. Repair the sail.
C. Drag up the boat. D. Take in the fishing equipment.
31．What can we lean about the old man from the last paragraph?
A. He remained optimistic about catching fish.
B. He was the most skillful fisherman in the village.
C. He would stay out longer than any other fisherman.
D. He would usually go out further than any other boat.

Dennis Sinar, 51, a doctor from New York, is quick to explain why he took a year- long break from his job. “ I was pretty burned out after practicing medicine for 26 years. I needed a recharge.” So he took a “ gap year”, from July 2011 to June 2012, to explore things like ancient buildings, and traditional Eastern medicine, in locations including Alaska, Nepal and Romania.
“ Taking a break from work is an excellent way for adults to go into a new career or refresh an old one,” said Holly Bull, president of Princeton,N,J. “ In recent years, mid-career breaks have been gaining more interest,” she said. A report on adult gap years published this year by a market research company also desbribed the potential American market for gap years as a “ sleeping giant.”
“ A gap year is a challenge for the older individual to step out of comfort zone and take a risk. I enjoyed that side most.” Said Dr.Sinar, who kept a daily blog about his experience. His time studying Eastern medicine at his old job, although he works fewer days. “ I use those experiences to provide my patients with more care,” he added. “ And I listen better than I did before.”
Geoge Garrian, chairman of the Department of Leadership and Human Capital Mangement at New York University , certainly agrees with Dr. Sinar. He said a gap-year experience could be worthwhile for employees and companies. For employees, investing in themselves and improving skill sets is a move that will benefit throughout their career. He added that returning employees feel refreshed and have given more thought to their career. For companies, offering unpaid leaves makes good sense for attracting and keeping talented employees.
32．Dr. Sinar took a gap year because he ______.
A. had lost his old job
B. wanted to refresh after 26 years’ work
C. had a desire for travelling
D. became interested in historical research
33．The phrase “sleeping giant”( in 2nd paragragh) indicates that_____.
A. it’s too early for people to accept the concept of gap year.
B. the effect of gap year policy remains to be seen
C. it’s difficult to foresee the gap year market
D. more American people will accept the gap year policy
34．What’s George Garritan’s attitude toward the “ gap year”?
A. positive B. Doubtful C. Uninterested D. uncertain
35．What’s the passage mainly about?
A. How an adult plans a mid- career gap year
B. Why a gap year is worthwhile for adults
C. Whether a gap year is popular with adults
D. Why a gap year is challenging for individuals[
