　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

　　A

　　My father had always been an alert observer of human character. Within seconds of meeting someone, he could sum up their strengths and weaknesses. It was always a challenge to see if any of my boyfriends could pass Dad’s test. None did. Dad was always right---they didn’t pass my test either. After Dad died, I wondered how I’d figure it out on my own.

　　That’s when Jack arrived on the scene. He was different from any other guy I’d dated. He could sit for hours on the piano bench with my mother, discussing some composers. My brother Rick loudly announced that Jack wasn’t a turkey like the other guys I’d brought home. Jack passed my family’s test. But what about Dad’s?

　　Then came my mother’s birthday. The day he was supposed to drive, I got a call. “Don’t worry,” he said, “but I’ve been in an accident. I’m fine, but I need you to pick me up.”

　　When I got there, we rushed to a flower shop for something for Mom. “How about gardenias?” Jack said, pointing at a beautiful white corsage(胸花). The florist put the corsage in a box.

　　The entire ride, Jack was unusually quiet. “Are you all right?” I asked. “I’ve been doing a lot of thinking,” he said. “I might be moving.” Moving? Then he added, “Moving in with you.” I nearly put the car on the sidewalk. “What?” I asked. “I think we should get married,” he said. He told me he’d planned his proposal in a fancy restaurant, but after the accident, he decided to do it right away. “Yes,” I whispered. We both sat dumbfounded, tears running down our cheeks. I’d never known such a tender moment. If only Dad were here to give his final approval.

　　“Oh, let’s just go inside.” Jack laughed. My mother opened the door. “Happy Birthday!” we shouted. Jack handed the box to her. She opened it up. Suddenly, her eyes were filled with tears. “Mom, what’s wrong?” I asked. “I’m sorry,” she said, wiping her eyes. “This is only the second gardenia corsage I’ve ever received. I was given one years ago, long before you kids were born.” “From who?” I asked. “Your father,” Mom said. “He gave me one right before we were engaged.” My eyes locked on Jack’s as I blinked away(眨掉) tears. Dad’s test? I knew Jack had passed.

　　WASHINGTON—Laura Straub is a very worried woman. Her job is to find families for foreign teenagers who expect to live with American families in the summer.

　　It is not easy, even desperate.

　　“We have many children left to place—40 out of 75,” said Straub, who works for a foreign exchange programme called LEC.

　　When foreign exchange programmes started 50 years ago, more families were accommodating. For one thing, more mothers stayed at home. But now, increasing numbers of women work outside the home. Exchange-student programmes have struggled in recent years to sign up host families for the 30, 000 teenagers who come from abroad every year to spend an academic year in the United States, as well as the thousands more who take part in summer programmes.

　　School systems in many parts of the U.S., unhappy about accepting non-taxpaying students, have also strictly limited the number of exchange students they accept. At the same time, the idea of hosting foreign students is becoming less exotic(有异国情调的).

　　In search for host families, who usually receive no pay, exchange programmes are increasingly broadening their requests to include everyone from young couples to the retired.

　　“We are open to many different types of families,” said Vickie Weiner, eastern regional director for ASSE, a 25-year-old programme that sends about 30,000 teenagers on academic-year exchange programmes worldwide.

　　For elderly people, exchange students “keep us young—they really do”, said Jen Foster, who is hosting 16-year-old Nina Post from Denmark.

　　25. Viekie Weiner is the person who ____.

　　A. works for a programme called LEC

　　B. works for a programme called ASSE

　　C.is 25 years old

　　D. hosts foreign students.

　　26. According to the text, why was it easier for Laura Straub to find American families for foreign students?

　　A．American school systems were better than now.

　　B．The government was happy because it could gain tax.

　　C．Foreign students paid hosting families a lot of money.

　　D．More mothers didn’t work outside and could look after children.

　　27. To deal with the problem in recent years, exchange programmes have to ______.

　　A．extend the range of host families

　　B．limit the number of the exchange students

　　C．borrow much money to pay for the costs

　　D．make hosting foreign students more exotic

　　. Which of the following is the best title of this passage?

　　A. Exchange Students Keep Old People Young.

　　B. Idea of Hosting Students is Different.

　　C. Foreign-exchange Program Is Going on.

　　D U.S. Struggle to Find host Families.

　　C

　　Last year, A Bite of China, made by CCTVs Documentary Channel, sparked discussion not only on Chinese food ,but also on locally made documentary programs.

　　When you think of documentaries, you may think of them as long, boring programs. But documentaries can be wonderful and bring stories

　　from the real world into our homes. With fascinating footage（影片片段） and stories, documentaries encourage us to think about interesting issues we wouldn’t necessarily know about.

　　So, what makes a good documentary, and what should we pay attention to when we watch one? Here, we offer a few easy strategies to help you get the most out of watching documentaries.

　　Pay attention to the themes

　　While watching a documentary, keep your eyes and ears peeled for the themes people talk about and what ideas they focus on. Is it meant to be informative or raise a certain emotional response?

　　Think critically

　　Listen to what the people in the documentary are saying

　　and ask yourself the following questions: If you were debating with someone or introducing a new concept, would you say the things the people in the documentary are saying? Do the arguments make sense?

　　Check the sources

　　If you’re sitting at the computer and can’t think of anything to do, why not look up the points the documentary made and see if they are accurate? You could even read more about what is presented in the documentary.

　　Who are the creators?

　　The creators or financial backers of a film will usually be involved with how the subject matter is presented. For instance, as the documentary 2016: Obama’s America was directed in large part by a conservative writer, it’s not surprising that it’s critical of President Obama from the beginning.

　　29. Which of the following is the most proper to describe documentaries?

　　A. non-fictional

　　B. controversial

　　C. subjective

　　D. thoughtful

　　30. The passage is mainly written to ______.

　　A. inform us of factors of good documentaries.

　　B. help us enjoy documentaries better.

　　C. introduce ways of making documentaries.

　　D. help us figure out themes of documentaries.

　　31. Why is 2016: Obama’s America mentioned in the article?

　　A. Because the author dislikes Obama.

　　B. Because it is directed by a writer.

　　C. Because it is quite popular in China.

　　D. Because it is a persuasive example.

　　32. According to the passage, ______.

　　A. it is always difficult to get the themes of documentaries.

　　B. financial backers often appear in documentaries.

　　C. it’s better to think twice about what is in documentaries.

　　D. many points of documentaries are not accurate.

　　When it comes to success in business and success in life, there are few qualities as important as confidence．

　　People naturally have different levels of confidence．Some have a higher level of confidence than others do, but even those whose confidence is lacking can learn to build their level of confidence and reach their most important goals．Increasing self confidence is one of the most common reasons people give for seeking the help of psychologists and other professionals．

　　One of the many places where a greater level of confidence is useful is in the workplace． We all know how difficult it can be, for instance, to ask the boss for a raise．This process can be extremely difficult for those who lack confidence in their own abilities．After all, if you are unsure about your own abilities, how will you ever convince your boss that you deserve more money for the work you do?

　　Even if you are not asking for that big raise, having plenty of confidence in your abilities is important to success．If you are certain of your abilities, chances are that those around you, whether they are your coworkers, your colleagues or your superiors, will see that confidence, and that will help to assure them that you aree the best at what you do．

　　Having a high level of confidence, after all, does not mean overlooking the places where you could improve．Knowing what you do well and where you need help will help you enjoy increased success and confidence．

　　．What is the passage mainly about?

　　A．The influence of confidence on one's life．

　　B．The difference of people's confidence．．

　　C．The importance of confidence to success

　　D．The judgment on one's confidence．

　　．Psychologists and other professionals can offer help to those ______．

　　A．who dream to be recognized experts

　　B．who expect to give guidance to others

　　C．who want to ask the boss for a raise

　　D．who think their goals are hard to reach

　　．What does the underlined word "indispensable" in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

　　A．outgoing

　　B．attractive

　　C．important

　　D．energetic

　　．What message does the author want to convey（传递） in the last paragraph?

　　A．To overlook one's disadvantages．

　　B．To make full use of one's advantages．

　　C．To have great confidence in one's abilities．

　　D．To make objective evaluations of one's abilities

　　Dear Mr. Craige,

　　I am writing to tell you something about the l0th English Speaking Contest I took part in last week in our school.

　　I got the "Top Ten Prize” out of 30 competitors, which was totally beyond my imagination.

　　When I heard the final result I couldn't believe my ears and jumped with joy.

　　It's thanks for your effort that I have made much more rapid progress in my spoken English. Before the contest, whenever you had free time, you would help me practice my spoken English. You communicated with me as much as possible, and corrected my pronunciation, intonation as well. What's more, you taught me some helpful speaking skills and made me full of confidence. Without your help I couldn't have achieved such a good result. I have benefited from this competition a lot. All in all, I really appreciate your help.

　　Thank you again for your advice and kind help. I sincerely invite you to my home for dinner and have a good time.

　　Yours sincerely.
