　　That day，his owner Ben Heinrichs was working on his truck inside his garage when a spark ignited some fuel and caught fire.

　　The dog ran off after his master said he needed help.On the road he came across the Alaskan firemen who had been called about the fire.But they had got lost and were about to turn down the wrong road.When they caught sight of Buddy who made eye contact with them and raced ahead down the right road，the firemen immediately followed him and he often turned round to make sure they were behind

　　Washington.At that time，not many black musicians were

　　known for writing or performing classical music.Teaching

　　at Howard gave Duncan the chance to share his knowledge

　　of classical European music with a mainly black student population.He taught special ways to present the music.These special ways became known as the Duncan Technique.

　　Besides teaching，Duncan sang in several operas with performers who were all black.But it seemed that he always would be known mainly as a concert artist.However，his life took a different turn in the middle 1930s.At that time，the famous American music writer George Gershwin was looking for someone to play a leading part in his new work Porgy and Bess.The music critic (评论家) of the New York Times newspaper suggested Todd Duncan.Duncan had almost decided not to try for the part as he knew it would not be easy to get it.But he changed his mind.He sang a piece from an Italian opera for Gershwin.He had sung only a few minutes when Gershwin offered him the part.He became famous because of the part in Porgy and Bess.

　　Amiya Olden could have been a poster child for a reading crisis that affects nearly 2 million Michigan residents older than 16：They read below a sixth­grade level，which makes it difficult to find jobs and to improve their lives.Among them，Amiya is one.

　　Amiya Olden remembers well the day she graduated from Denby High School.She handed her diploma to her mother，who read it to her.“Then when someone asked me to read it，I could remember the things she read，and I knew what I had to say，” recalled Amiya Olden.“When we would go out to restaurants with my aunts，and that’s when I really would get upset，I would see words on the menu but I couldn’t read！”

　　But don’t feel sorry for her.She changed her life by reaching a point where she’d read enough.Two summers ago，she took charge of her life when she walked into Pro­Literacy Detroit to improve her reading.Nineteen months ago，she was reading at a second­grade level；now at a fifth­grade level.

　　Olden now splits her days between her classes at Pro­Literacy and the library，where she checks out books and reads them.She says she hopes her improved reading skills will help her find a good job.

　　And she has advice for others，who have trouble reading.

　　“Don’t give up on it，” she said.“Even though it can be challenging and you might get frustrated sometimes，practice does help.If you really want to be able to go somewhere，go out to a restaurant and you have to read signs and things like that，you want to know what you want to eat and where you want to go...If you want to succeed in life and grow，you have to read.More importantly，you have to feel confident that you can.”

　　(2011·潍坊检测)

　　I suppose that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen.Just listen.Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention.And especially if it’s given from the heart.When people are talking，there’s no need to do anything but receive them.Listen to what they’re saying.Care about it.Most times caring about it is even more important than understanding it.Most of us don’t value ourselves or our love enough to know this.It

　　has taken me a long time to believe in the power of simple

　　saying “I’m so sorry，” when someone is in pain.

　　One of my patients told me that when she tried to tell her

　　story people often interrupted to tell her that they once had

　　something just like that happening to them.Her pain became

　　a story about themselves.Eventually she stopped talking to most people.We connect through listening.When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand，we move the focus of attention to ourselves.When we listen，they know we care.

　　I have even learned to respond to someone crying by just listening.In the old days I used to reach for the handkerchiefs，until I realized that passing a person a handkerchief

　　may be just another way to shut him down，to take them out of their experience of sadness.Now I just listen.When they have cried all they need to cry，they find me there with them.

　　This simple thing has not been that easy to learn.It certainly went against everything I had been taught since I was very young.I thought people listened only because they were

　　too shy to speak or did not know the answer.But now I know

　　that a loving silence often has far more power to heal than the

　　kindest words.

　　71．What does the author value most in the communication with each other?

　　A．Deep understanding .

　　B．Saying “I’m sorry”．

　　C．Attention from heart.

　　D．Doing nothing.

　　72．The woman patient stopped telling her story to most people because________.

　　A．she didn’t get enough respect from others

　　B．she was discouraged by being often interrupted

　　C．people often told her their own opinions

　　D．people couldn’t understand her sad situation

　　73．If you hand a handkerchief to someone crying，you may________.

　　A．hurt his feelings

　　B．make him embarrassed

　　C．encourage him to continue to cry

　　D．stop him from letting out his sorrow

　　74．It can be inferred from the passage that while communicating，________.

　　A．listening is a perfect way to respond to others

　　B．people keep silent because they don’t know the answer

　　C．keeping silent means being too shy to speak

　　D．it is easy to form the habit of listening silently

　　75．Which of the following might be the author’s opinion about communication?

　　A．Keep silent.

　　B．Just listen.

　　C．Be careful.

　　D．Tell your own story.

　　The rise of the so­called “boomerang generation (回巢族)” is reported in official figures showing that almost one in five graduates in their late 20s now live with their parents.By contrast，only one in eight university graduates had failed to fly the nest by the same age 20 years ago，research from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows.

　　It also found that grown­up sons are twice as likely as their sisters to still be living with their parents in their late 20s.

　　With nearly a quarter of men approaching 30 still living at home，the findings are bound to lead to the claim of a “generation of mummy’s boys”．

　　Young professionals in their late 20s or early 30s have been called the “boomerang generation” because of the trend toward returning to the family home.

　　Recent research has suggested that young people in Britain are twice likely to choose to live with their parents in their late 20s than their counterparts elsewhere in Europe.

　　But_experts_warned_that_the_phenomenon_may_have_more_to_do_with_young_people_facing_dark_future_than_simply_a_desire_to_save_money.

　　While the percentage of those of university or college age moving out from the family home has continued to rise in the last 20 years，among those in their mid and late 20s the trend has reversed.

　　Overall 1.7 million people aged from 22 to 29 now share a roof with their parents，including more than 760,000 in their late 20s，the ONS figures suggest.

　　W：Oh，no！You must be kidding.You told me last time it was a good job and you’d like to take it as a career.That was only one week ago.How come?

　　M：It’s a long story.In a word，I didn’t do a good job of it.I messed up a business deal，a deal that would make ten million dollars and I messed it up.

　　W：I’m sorry，man.Then what are you going to do now?

　　M：I’m looking for a job.Mary doesn’t know yet.I spent the last three days staying at this coffee store.She thought I went to work as usual.

　　W：That’s not the way to solve the problem.Did you check the classified ads in the newspaper?

　　M：Yes，but I don’t think they’ll work out.I find some good ones，but I’m not qualified though.

　　W：Listen，I’ll see what I can do，OK？You now go home and tell Mary the whole story.She is your wife.She’ll understand.

　　M：I just don’t know how to bring it up.Well，all right.She has the right to know it，anyway.

　　W：You are right.

　　听第10段独白，回答第17至20题。

　　(Text 10)

　　In Japan there are many beliefs.I will tell you some.A lot of Japanese believe that if you put a piece of snake skin into your wallet，you are going to become rich or find money.Snakes are a symbol of money and wealth.Some people believe the snake is an animal of God，so they never kill snakes.People say if you kill a snake，you will lose your money.Many Japanese say if someone finds a white snake，he will be lucky in life.Actually，some people put a picture of a white snake on the wall.The second belief is about sleeping.Japanese can’t fall asleep with their heads to the north because a dead person is always buried with his head to the north.It is believed that death welcomes someone who sleeps with his head to the north.The last one is about the number four.Four is an unlucky number because the number four has the same pronunciation as the word “death” in Japanese，so most people tend to avoid it and most hotels don’t use the number four.

　　第二部分

　　21．D　daydreaming表示“做白日梦”，作主语时，不需要冠词修饰。means表示“方式”，是个可数名词，此处表示“一种放松的方式”，因此前面用a修饰。

　　22．C　it在此无实际含义，与help连用，属于习惯表达，表示“可以避免……(某事)”。又如：I wouldn’t live there；well，not if I could help it.我可不愿在那儿生活，喛，要是有别的办法我才不往那儿跑呢。

　　23．D　下一句表示“我也未能想象出”，可以用Neither/Nor can I或Me，neither。

　　24．C　in the coming summer vacation表示“在即将到来的暑假”，是个表示未来的时间状语，因此本句要用将来时或将来进行时。

　　25．C　句意为：我们地球变暖的后果之一是自然灾害的增加。account表示“账目，叙述”；reason表示“理由”；occurrence表示“发生”，均不合题意。

　　26．C　本题考查时态。第一句表示“你以前的同学如今已经从美国回来了吗？”所以第二句仅仅表示“他待在美国有八年了”这个情况，又因为stay为延续性动词，所以stayed可以代替had stayed，而后者一般强调“过去的过去”。

　　27．C　本题考查反意疑问句。祈使句的反意疑问部分一般用will you(否定句)或will you/won’t you(肯定句)。

　　28．C　本题同时考查主谓一致和时态。as well as及其宾语一起，仅对主语进行补充说明，因此谓语动词同它们前面的主语(the Internet)保持一致。A、D两项均表示已完成的动作，不符合语境：正在扮演越来越重要的角色。

　　29．C　句意为：如果你常常感到疲劳，不能集中注意力，那么这就是你不得不停止艰苦工作来休息一下的时候了。根据题意，用when引导表语从句。

　　30．B　句意为：会是未能收取来自地面控制中心的信号导致了这场空难吗？句中含强调句型的变体It could be...that...；can/could用于疑问句中表推测，其他情态动词无此用法。

　　31．A　本题考查定语从句。先行词为way(方法)，其后的引导词应用that，in which或不用任何引导词。

　　32．D　表示第二个人“完全同意”第一个人的看法时，用absolutely“当然是”。

　　33．B　句意为：老师们更愿意用努力程度来衡量我们的表现，而不是我们拥有的天赋。in addition to而且；in honor of为了纪念；in response to作为……的回应。

　　34．C　考查连词。before在此处表示“趁……还未；在……之前”。

　　35．A　考查形容词作状语用法(也有人称之为主语补足语)。and连接的两个成分在词性等方面应该一致。
