Every fast-food employee knows that the drive-through window is the worst position. The window stic the roar of engines hurts your&& 36& ; your words are lost in the howling wind.
On a&& 37&& afternoon, everything changed.
Every once in a while, the sub-zero temperatures seal a&& 38
windows shut. Drivers don’t exactly enjoy having to stand outside in the cold,& 39&& their orders into a speaker box, when they expect to drive through on their heated leather seats. In such cases, most customers tend to show their annoyance to the employees.
This woman was&& 40& .
“I’ll get the next car’s&& 41&& as well,” she said as she came up to the window to pay. She stood outside,&& 42&&& much snow on her hair. Though she was obviously freezing, her bright

“I suppose I’ll pay for the next order then,” he replied, nodding and waving at the impatient
driver&& 49&& him. He&& 50&& over the cash and received his pre-paid hot drink.
The trend continued. Customers arrived annoyed, only to leave&& 51&& and pleased. Some
were shocked to spend much more than they had expected,&& 52&& others ended up receiving their order for less than half the price.
Five vehicles passed, then ten, then twenty. No one refused to pay. Customers stood at my window&&& 53&&& a fist-full of change to buy drinks for a complete stranger. Cars drove off, honking (鸣笛) and&&& 54&&& their thanks.

第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，共30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Dear Mr. King,
Your grocery store is outstanding in many ways. I enjoy the selection of produce and fresh bakery items. I have been a long time Supermart shopper and hope to continue for many years. I have found, however, that I must make a separate shopping trip to one of your competitors because there are many items your store does not carry. This becomes inconvenient for me, as my time is valuable, and I do not like to make two trips. Your low prices and excellent customer service keep me coming back to Supermart, but I would be a more satisfied customer if I could find all the items I need in one place.
Specifically, I have never been able to purchase nacho cheese soup at your store. I can find other flavors (味道) of soup, but your store does not carry nacho cheese soup, a common ingredient (原料) in many of my recipes. In addition, I can only find large wonton wrappers, while many other stores carry both large and small and offer a more varied selection for their customers. Another example is Regent Brand Chili Seasoning. Though it is not a leading brand, it is still common on the shelves of other grocery stores in this area and is superior in flavor to its competitors.
I sincerely hope to continue a relationship with your store, and I hope that you will consider the possibility of expanding your goods to be more competitive.
Yours truly,
Bob Watson
56. According to Bob, the grocery store ________.
A. meets all his needsB. is outstanding in every way
C. offers good customer serviceD. lacks convenient transportation
57. How does the author present his point in Paragraph 2?
A. By giving examples.B. By analyzing the figures.
C. By providing scientific findings. D. By comparing two different stores.
58. From the letter, we can learn that the author is ________.
A. a very picky reporterB. a competitor of the store
C. a responsible nutritionist D. a regular customer of the store
A Simple Lesson
“Another bad day at school?” my father asked as I came into the room.
“How could you tell? I didn’t shut the door heavily or anything,” I replied. Over the past two months I had either done this or thrown my backpack across the room every time I came home from school. Papa thinks it has something to do with moving to a new house.
“I know this move has been hard on you. Leaving your friends and cousins behind is tough,” Papa said, as he put his arm around my shoulder. “What you must remember is that, with a lot of hard work and some time, you will make new friends.”
“You don’t know how hard it is. This year my baseball team would have won the championship. They won’t even give me a chance to pitch (投球) here. All I get to play is right
field, and that’s the worst!”
Papa turned toward me. “Things will get better, I promise you. Let me ask you, do you know why you were named David Lorenzo?”
“Yes, your name is David and grandfather’s name is Lorenzo.”
“Very good, and what makes your grandfather so important?”
“He was the first in the family to come to this country and all that,” I answered.
“That is only partly correct. Your grandfather was a very great man. In Mexico, he had been a teacher. When he came to America he could only get low-paid labor jobs because he didn’t speak the language. It took him two years before he spoke English well enough to be allowed to teach here, but he did it. He never complained because he knew change could be difficult. Did he ever tell you that?” my father asked.
I looked down at my feet, ashamed at my behavior. “No. That must have been hard,” I said sheepishly.
“Your grandfather taught me that if you let people see your talent, they will accept you for who you are. I want you to always remember what my father taught me, even if it takes a few years for people to see who you are,” said Papa.
All I could say was, “Okay.” Then I asked, “What should I do now?”
Laughing, Papa said, “How about you pitch a few to me? You need some work.”
59. Why was the author unhappy that day?
A. Because he moved to a new country.
B. Because his baseball team lost the game.
C. Because he wasn’t offered a chance to pitch.
D. Because he quarreled with his friends at school.
60. The father successfully changed his son’s mood by ________.
A. asking him to train harder
B. playing baseball with him
C. telling his grandfather’s story
D. introducing him some new friends
61. The underlined word “sheepishly” probably means ________.
A. shylyB. patientlyC. clumsilyD. cautiously
62. What can we infer about the author?
A. He thinks his father lives in the past.
B. He’d rather live with his grandfather.
C. He will continue to dislike school and everything.
D. He will try his best to adapt to the new environment.
Last week I did something that scared me. I stood in front of nearly 200 financial planners and I talked to them about why financial blogs are a good thing.
I’m a confident writer. I’ve been doing this long enough that I know my strength and my limitations. I’m less confident as a speaker. I don’t have time to pause to collect my thoughts. I’m not able to edit. I’m afraid of being trapped in a corner without being able to talk my way out. Basically, I’m scared to speak.
It would be easy to simply refuse the chances that come my way. When somebody asks me to speak in front of a group, I could say “no”. When radio and television stations call for an interview, I could say “no”. But for the past two years, I’ve been following my own policy to say “yes” to new chances.
To say “yes” is to live in fear. My goal is to continually improve myself to become better than I am today. One way to do that is to do the things that scare me, to take them on as challenges, and to learn from them ― even if I fail.
In mid-November, a local station asked me to appear on live television. “I realize it’s short notice,” the producer wrote, “but we’d love to have you on the show if you’re available tonight.” I was frightened. I thought about recent taped television interviews that I had hated. I was afraid of what might happen.
But I also thought about the things that had gone right. I thought of how my speaking skills had improved over the past year. And then I thought of the book I was reading, a book that I had bought for $1.29 at the local store. The Magic of Thinking Big was a huge bestseller during the 1960s. Written by Dr. David Schwartz, a professor at Georgia State University, the book contains dozens of practical tips on how to take risks to achieve big goals. Schwartz argues that nobody will believe in you until you believe in yourself.
So when the television producer asked if I wanted to appear on his show, I thought big. “Sure,” I said. “I’ll do it.” I acted confidently, but on the inside I was frightened. What I needed was techniques to build up my confidence and to overcome my fear.
63. Why is the author afraid of speaking in public?
A. He is aware of his potential.B. He has few chances to talk.
C. He is not able to edit what he says.D. He likes writing better.
64. The underlined words “my own policy” in Paragraph 3 probably mean ________.
A. self-improving through challenges
B. hesitating before chances
C. turning down the invitations
D. saying yes to fear
65. The author mentioned the book The Magic of Thinking Big mainly because ________.
A. it was inspiring B. it was a bestseller
C. its author was famousD. its price was attractive
66. What is the author’s purpose to write the passage?
A. To analyze his strength and weaknesses.
B. To give practical tips on speaking in public.
C. To persuade people to follow his example.
D. To share his experiences of overcoming fear
To Friend or Not to Friend
We all love our parents and turn to them when we’re in need, but would you like them to hear the conversations you have with your friends on the school playground or lunch queue? Social networking sites have become extensions of the school hallways &/w/hallway&, so would you add your parents as “friends” and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends?
In the past the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were up to date with latest technology and parents were left behind, content to continue their day to day lives as they always had because they had no need to know more about technology. However, more and more parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the motivation to educate themselves about social networking sites.
These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who t there’s also a certain amount of control over privacy &/w/privacy& that we don’t get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated when we must accept a “friend” request from a parent or family member.
It’s a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our online lives. On the one hand we don’t want to “reject” their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide. On the other hand if you do accept, then you could have a sense of being watched and no longer feel free to comment or communicate the way you did before.
A recent survey suggested that parents shouldn’t take it personally if their child ignores their request: “When a teen ignores a parent’s friend request, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to be independent.”
Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the blow if you do choose not to add them to your friends list.
67. From Paragraph 2, we learn that ______.
A. parents feel secure about their privacy online
B. social networks successfully fill the generation gap
C. parents have realized the importance of social networks
D. social networks offer a platform for parents to communicate
68. Teenagers may refuse a parent’s friend request because ______.
A. they hide something from their parents
B. they are unwilling to be watched by parents
C. their parents tend to fall behind in technology
D. their parents make negative comments on them
69. The passage is mainly about ______.
A. privacy onlineB. social networks
C. the generation gap&&& D. parents’ friend requests
70. The passage is written mainly for ______.
A. parents&& B. teenagers
C. teachers&&& D. researchers
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Americans use many expressions with the word “dog”. People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well.&&& 71&& However, dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life. The expression, to lead a dog's life, describes a person who has an unhappy existence.
Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world.&& 72&& They say that to be successful, a person has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard. Such hard work can make people dog-tired. And, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.
73&& This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks. They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things.
74&& People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog. Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they do not want. Mean dogs are often used to guard this property. They bark or attack people who try to enter the property. However, sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad. We say his bark is worse than his bite.
Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather. The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rainstorm may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too
hard.&& 75
A. Still, people say every dog has its day.
B. We do not want it to rain cats and dogs.
C. Some people are compared to dogs in bad ways.
D. Dogs are their best friends and they are loyal to people.
E. There are many other expressions waiting for you to explore.
F. That means many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs.
G. They take their dogs for walks, let them play outside and give them good food and medical

第二节（20分）
One possible version:
Last weekend our school held a sports meeting. Knowing it was our last high school sports meeting, we decided to make it an unforgettable experience for all of us.
We first attended the opening parade, for which our class had made a lot of preparations. Our parade took on the shape of the letter “V”, indicating victory for ourselves. To our excitement, our parade performance was a great success. After the parade, the games started. My classmates attended various events such as running, high jump and long jump. Due to the hard training they had done before, their performances were very impressive. On the stand, my classmates applauded and cheered for the athletes, some raising their cameras to capture the exciting moments. Finally, the result was announced. It was amazing that our class won the second place. Our efforts paid off! Cup in hand, we took a picture together.
I believe this sports meeting will remain a precious memory for all of us as time goes by.
听力录音原文
M: I never eat peanuts and I hate all fruits.
W: Oh, my God, me too. We are two of a kind.
M: Are you free to join us for dinner tomorrow?
W: You are inviting me to your house?
W: Would you please help me take my luggage to my room?
M: Sure! At your service, Miss.
M: Just take it easy and breathe. You will feel much less nervous.
W: Easy for you to say. You’re not the one that’s going to speak in front of a thousand people.
W: Morning, sir. What can I do for you?
M: Hi, I’ve got an appointment with Mr. Smith. My name is Jack Torrance.
W: His office is the first door on the left.
M: Thank you.
M: Nice picture! Who’s the girl beside you?
W: My sister, Sarah.
M: Wow! Didn’t know you had a sister. What does she do?
W: She’s a travel agent.
M: Oh, that’s cool. Does she love it?
W: Yeah, she does. She loves to travel and she likes meeting different people. She’s very talkative
and outgoing.
M: You two are totally different. You’re quiet and a little bit shy sometimes.
W: Yes! In fact, she is probably the most outgoing person in my family.
M: Hard to believe! Can I meet her?
W: No problem. But she’s on vacation now and she’ll be back next Monday.
M: Ellie, why are you just having coffee? I thought we were meeting for coffee and dessert.
W: I’m not eating dessert these days. I’m going to Florida on vacation in less than a month. I need
to lose about 15 pounds to fit into my summer clothes! So I’m on a diet.
M: What diet are you on?
W: I’m having only two meals a day.
M: Oh… That is not a good idea. You may think you’re losing weight, but in fact you’re just losing water.
W: Who cares? I just want to fit into my clothes.
M: But as soon as you start to eat normally, the weight will come right back. Isn’t there a better diet you can try?
W: Er… Someone told me if I just ate cabbage soup for a week, I’d lose around 10 pounds. But I hate cabbage.
M: Why don’t you still eat meals but just eat smaller ones?
W: It’s too slow that way. What’s more, to reduce my hunger, I’m going to take diet pills. Anyway, I just need something to help me for a few weeks.
M: OK, whatever. But be sure to eat food that’s good for you.
M: Excuse me, I’d like to book a ticket to Shanghai.
W: When would you like to fly?
M: As soon as possible. Do you have a flight tomorrow… 7th of February?
W: Let me check. Please hold on. Sorry that flight is all booked up. Can I book you for the 8th of
February? We have a nonstop flight leaving Beijing at 9:25.
M: That will be OK.
W: How many people are there in your party?
M: Only one this time.
W: And what class will you fly? First class? Business class? Or Economy class?
M: Business class… It’s too expensive… Economy class will be fine.
W: Good. Round trip or one way trip?
M: One way trip.
W: OK. And how will you pay, cash or credit card?
M: I’d like to pay by check.
W: I’m sorry, but we don’t accept checks.
M: I’ll pay by credit card then.
W: Great. What name shall I put the reservation under?
M: Smith, Peter Smith.
W: Wait a minute… so… You are booked, Mr. Smith.
M: Thanks a lot.
W: It’s a pleasure.
Hello, everybody! Welcome to St. Louis, the gateway city. My name is Jack. I hope you will have a wonderful trip here with us. I’m the organizer of the activities. To make sure you’ll have some fun while you are here, we have made some arrangements for you. On Wednesday afternoon, we’ll go together on a walking tour of the city, which is both old and modern. You can see many fantastic things you have read about in books. And then on Thursday afternoon, we are off to the sports center where you can enjoy yourselves by playing basketball or going swimming. On Friday morning, we’ll do some shopping. After these activities, you might feel tired. So on Friday afternoon, you can have a good rest to prepare for the next day. On Saturday, we are going on a day trip to Washington University by bus. We’ll leave at 7:00 in the morning and be back at 6:00& in the afternoon. Remember the time. And finally on Sunday, we are off to New York, leaving at 8:00 in the morning. If there’s anything else you want to know, please tell me. That’s all, thank you.
Man: Oh, calm down. What’s up?
