16.Our house was directly across the street from the clinic entrance of John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore.We lived downstairs and rented the upstairs rooms to out-patients at the clinic.
         One summer evening as I was fixing; supper,there was a knock at the door.I opened it to see a truly awful looking man-no taller than my eight-year-old-I thought as I stared at the shriveled (皺縮的)body.But the shocking thing was his face-twisted from swelling.
         He told me he'd been hunting for a room since noon but with no success."I guess it's my face…,but my doctor says with a few more treatments …"
         I told him we would find him a bed.When I had finished the dishes,he told me he fished for a living to support his daughter,her five children,and her husband,who was hopelessly disabled from a back injury.He didn't tell it by way of complaint; in fact,every other sentence began with a thanks to God for a blessing.He was grateful that no pain accompanied his disease,which was apparently a form of skin cancer.
         The next morning before lie left for his bus,he asked if he could come back and stay the next time he had a treatment.I told him lie was welcome to come again.
         In the years he came to stay overnight with us,there was never a time that he did not bring us fish or oysters or vegetables from his garden.
         When I received these little gifts,I often thought of a comment our next-door neighbor made after he left that first morning."Did you keep that awful looking man last night?I turned him away.1 You can lose roomers by accommodating such people!"
         Maybe we did lose roomers once or twice.But oh; If only they could have known him,perhaps their illnesses would have been easier to bear.I know our family always will be grateful to have known him; from him we learned what it was to accept the bad without complaint and the good with gratitude.
56.The first time I met the man,D.
A.I felt pity for his look
B.he frightened my kid
C.he was in need of something to eat
D.he was looking for a place to stay overnight
57.The next-door neighbor refused the man becauseA.
A.he might lose roomers                     
B.the man was poor
C.he had no spare room                     
D.the man didn't bring him gifts
58.Which of the following is NOT true about the man?C
A.He developed skin cancer.
B.He fished to support a large family.
C.God helped him to get over his disease.
D.He didn't complain about his sufferings.
59.What attitude did the man have toward life?A

60.What might be the best title of the passage?D
A.Never judge a book by its cover

7.That cold January night,I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco.There I was,walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theatre.With opening night only a week ago,I was still learning my lines.I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time.As I walked,I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco.City life had become too much for me.
As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings,I felt very small and cold.I began running,both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers (搶劫犯).Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.
About a block from my apartment (公寓房間),I heard a sound behind me.I turned quickly,half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun.The street was empty.All I saw was a shining streetlight.Still,the noise had made me nervous,so I started to run faster.Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been.It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.
Suddenly I wasn't cold or tired anymore.I ran out of the door and back to where I'd heard the noise.Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes,my wallet was nowhere to be found.
Just as I was about to give up the search,I heard the garbage truck (垃圾車) pull up to the sidewalk next to me.When a voice called from the inside,"Alisa Camacho?"I thought I was dreaming.How could this man know my name?The door opened,and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eye."Is this what you're looking for?"he asked,holding up a small square shape.
It was nearly 3A.M.by the time I got into bed.I wouldn't get much sleep that night,but I had gotten my wallet back.I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life.I realized that the city couldn't be a bad place as long as people were welling to help each other.

46.How did the write feel when she was walking home after workD?
A.Cold and sick. 
B.Fortunate and helpful.
C.Satisfied and cheerful.

47.From the first paragraph,we learn that the write was busyD.
A.solving her problem at the bank  
B.taking part in various city activities
C.learning acting in a n evening school  
D.preparing for the first night show
48.On her way home the writerA.
A.lost her wallet unknowingly
B.was stopped by a garbage truck driver
C.was robbed of her wallet by an armed man
D.found some homeless people following her
49.In the fifth paragraph,why did the writer say she was dreamingC?
A.Someone offered to take her back home.
B.A red-haired man came to see her.
C.She heard someone call her name.

11.I told my friend Graham that I often cycle two miles from my house to the town centre but unfortunately there is a big hill on the route.He replied,"You mean fortunately."He explained that I should be glad of the extra exercise that the hill provided.
My attitude to the hill has now changed.I used to grumble as I approached it but now I tell myself the following.This hill will exercise my heart and lungs.It will help me to lose weight and get fit.It will mean that I live longer.This hill is my friend.Finally I comfort myself with the thought of all those silly people who pay money to go to a gym and sit on stationery exercise bicycles when I call get the same value for free.I have a smile of satisfaction as I reach the top of the hill.
Problems are there to be faced and overcome.We cannot achieve anything with an easy life.Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person to gain a university degree.Her activism and writing proved inspirational.She wrote?"Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet.Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened,vision cleared,ambition inspired and success achieved."
One of the main determinants of success in life is our attitude towards adversity (逆境).From time to time we all face hardships,problems,accidents,afflictions and difficulties.Some are of our making but many confront us through no fault of our own.While we cannot choose the adversity we can choose our attitude towards it.
Douglas Bader was 21when in 1931he had both legs cut off following a flying accident.He was deter-mined to fly again and went on to become one of the leading flying aces in the Battle of Britain with 22aerial victories over the Germans.He was an inspiration to others during the war.He said,"Don't listen to any-one who tells you that you can't do this or that.That's nonsense.Make up your mind,you'll never use crutches(拐杖)or a stick,then have a go at everything.Go to school,join in all the games you can.Go anywhere you want to.But never,never let them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible."
The biographies (傳記) of great people are full of examples of how they took steps to overcome the difficulties they faced.The common thread is that they did not become depressed.They chose their attitude.They chose to be positive.They took on the challenge.They won.
Nevertheless,there is still the problem of how you change your attitude towards adversity.

57.Which of the following is true according to the author of the passage?C
A.Climbing hills on bicycles is the best way to fake exercise.
B.People are silly to pay to go to the gym.
C.Those who want to achieve success cant expect to live all easy life.
D.People's attitude towards adversity is the only factor that determines whether they will succeed.
58.By quoting what Douglas Bader said,the author intends to tell us"D."
A.Failure is the mother of Success.
B.A fall into the pit,a gain in your wit.
C.If you venture nothing,you will have nothing.
D.Nothing is difficult to the man who will try.
59.Following this passage,the author will further talk aboutB.
A.how his friend helped him to change his attitude towards the adversity he faced
B.what steps to take to change your attitude towards the adversity you face
C.what great people have in common
D.why it is important to keep optimistic in face of adversity
60.Which of the following can best function as the title of the passage?A
A.Face adversity with a smile             B.Different attitudes towards adversity
C.Nothing is impossible                   D.Life is full of adversity.

1.Some people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own.My mom was one of those people.
My father died when I was nine months old,making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen.While I was growing up,we lived a very hard life.We had little money,but my mom gave me a lot of love.Each night,she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life,"Kemmons,you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it."
At fourteen,I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again.Every day,my mother spoke to me in her gentle,loving voice,telling me that no matter what those doctors said,I could walk again if I wanted to.She drove that message so deep onto my heart that I finally believed her.A year later,I returned to school-walking on my own!
When the Great Depression(大蕭條)hit,my mom lost her job.Then I left school to support the both of us.At that moment,I was determined never to be poor again.
Over the years,I experienced various levels of business success.But the real turning point occurred on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951.I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was angry that they charged an extra﹩2for each child.That was too expensive for the average American family.I told my wife tat I was going to open a motel(汽車旅館)for families that would never charge extra for children.There were plenty of doubters at that time.
Not surprisingly,mom was one of my strongest supporters.She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style.As in any business,we experienced a lot of challenges.But with my mother's words deeply rooted in my soul,I never doubted we would succeed.Fifteen years later,we had the largest hotel system in the world-Holiday Inn.In 1979my company had 1,759inns in more than fifty countries with an income of﹩1billion a year.
You may not have started out life in the best situation.But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself,nothing can stop you.

46.What caused Kemmons to start a motel by himself?B
A.His previous business success.
B.His terrible experience in the hotel.
C.Loving,supportive and strong-willed.
D.Strict,sensitive and supportive.
47.Which of the following best describes Kemmons'mother?C
A.Modest,helpful,and hard-working.
B.Careful,helpful and beautiful.
C.Loving,supportive and strong-willed.
D.Strict,sensitive and supportive.
48.Which of the following led to Kemmons'success according to the passage?D
A.A poor family,higher education,self-confidence and hard work.
B.Mom's encouragement,a poor family,higher education,and opportunities.
C.Mom's encouragement,a poor family,higher education,and clear goals.
D.Mom's encouragement,clear goals,self-confidence and hard work.
