The doctor turned quickly and looked out of the tall hospital window. The baby had been born without ears.Time proved that the babys hearing was perfect. When he rushed home from school one day and threw himself into his mothers arms, she sighed, knowing that his life was to be full of heart-breaks for his imperfect appearance. He grew up, handsome for his misfortune and popular with his fellow students. He might have been class monitor, but for that. He developed a gift, a talent for literature and music.Two years went by. One day, his father said to the son, “Youre going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need. But its a secret.” The operation was a brilliant success, and a new person turned up. His talents blossomed into genius, and his school and college became a series of success. Later he married and entered the diplomatic service.One day, he urged his father, “Who gave so much for me? I must know! I could never do enough for him.”“I do not believe you could,” said the father, “but the agreement was that you are not to know. not yet.”The years kept their secret, but the day did come- one of the darkest days that a son must endure. He stood with his father over his mothers casket (棺材). Slowly, tenderly, the father reached out a hand and raised the thick, reddish-brown hair to show that the mother had no outer ears. “Mother said she was glad she never let her hair be cut, ” he whispered gently, “and nobody ever thought Mother less beautiful, did they?”Real beauty lies not in the physical appearance, but in the heart. Real treasure lies not in what can be seen, but in what cannot be seen. Real love lies not in what is done and known, but in what is done and not known.21. The underlined word “that” (in Para. 3) stands for _.A. his handsome appearance B. his imperfect appearance C. his popularity D. his talent for literature and music 22. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The boy couldnt hear clearly without ears at first. B. The son didnt know the truth until his mother died. C. With donated ears, the sons life developed smoothly.D. The son attempted to repay the donators kindness.23. Why did the boys mother never have her hair cut?A. Because she liked her thick and brown hair. B. Because her hair added to her beauty.C. Because her long hair was her pride. D. Because her hair helped to keep a secret.24. Which is the best title for the passage?A. An Unfortunate Boy B. Mothers Hair C. Mothers Secret Love D. A Successful Ear OperationB High school students have always spread gossip (传言) in the halls, on the walls and on the phone. Now its on the Internet, too. On various message boards, kids write about whom they hate, whom they think have fallen in love with each other and record other often hurtful things that may or may not be true.Sixteen-year-old Jessica remembers once when some kids at her school wrote cruel things about her on the web. “They were just making fun of me,” she says. They said shes really ugly, shes this, shes that, blah-blah-blah.Jessicas 11-year-old sister, Emma, admits shes used the web to write bad things about another girl, though she regrets it now. “After a while, you may feel like, how could I have been so mean? Or, why did I do that?” she says.Experts say gossip on the Internet can be more harmful than the old fashioned kind. It lasts longer and is taken more seriously. And, unlike ugly words on the bathroom wall, theres no way to get rid of it.If your kids are victims(受害者) of online gossip, Dr. Commanday suggests putting the gossip in to perspective (正确看待). “Point out to them how whats being said on the screen differs from what everyone knows about you as a person,” Dr. Commanday says.You can also try what worked from Emma: keep your kids off the offensive (冒犯的) website! “When she was using it all the time, her name was there all the time. People were writing things about her,” explains Patti Thrift, Emmas mother, “Since she has no longer had access to that, shes no longer a topic of conversation.”25. From the examples of Jessicas sister, we can learn that _. A. ugly girls like to spread gossip online B. ugly girls easily become victims of online gossip C. gossip-makers can regret what they do D. online gossip is mainly some jokes on others26. According to the passage, why is online gossip more hurtful? A. It is written words. B. It cannot be removed easily. C. It is much uglier. D. It is easier to believe.27. The purpose of the passage is to _. A. give some tips on how to prevent hurt of gossip on the Internet B. list the difference between the old fashioned gossip and gossip on the Internet C. advise students to keep away from the Internet D. introduce different kinds of hurt students might meet with28. The passage is mainly written for _. A. experts B. teachers C. parents D. students C She continued to see her friends, but gave up going to cafs to see them. “Instead of meeting for lunch in a caf as usual, wed take sandwiches and homemade soup and eat in the park,” said Kath. She made the soup every morning from chicken given away by a local shop and whatever cheap vegetables she could find. She found out that small food shops often sell whatever is left over at the end of the day very cheaply because they cannot keep it overnight. She really lived a simple life.Kath picked fruit from bushes and trees and looked out for free buffets(自助餐). “I was the queen of the buffet. Every time there was a public event and a crowd was needed, I was there. I took my friends out to free events, too. I couldnt buy drinks for them or anything like that so Id take them to art openings.”Kath also picked up coins dropped in the street and managed to collect 117. She said, ”I kept it for emergencies (紧急情况), but in the end I didnt need it so at the end of the year I gave it to charity.” Kath says one of her best tips is to hand out small gifts whenever you can - what you receive in return will usually be of a greater value.During the 365 days of her experiment she managed to keep to her budget(预算). By the end of the year, Kath was able to use some of the 10,000 salary she had saved up to buy a special gift for her brother Danny. She said, “Before, I enjoyed spending money on treats, like chocolate and weekends away, but now I dont see the need for expensive things. I dont spend much at all, though it is probably more than 1 a day.”29. According to the text, Kath used to _.

D The private automobile (汽车) has long played an important role in the United States. In fact, it has become a necessary and important part of the American way of life. By giving workers rapid transportation, the automobile has freed them from having to live near their place of work. This has encouraged the growth of the cities, but it has also led to traffic problems.For farm families the automobile is very helpful. It has made it possible for them to travel to town very often for business and for pleasure, and also to transport their children to distant schools.Family life has been affected in various ways. The car helps to keep families together when it is used for picnics, outing, and other shared experiences. However, when teenage children have the use of the car, their parents cant keep any eye on them. There is a great danger if the driver has been drinking alcohol or taking drugs, or showing off by speeding or breaking down traffic laws. Mothers of victims of such accidents have formed an organization called MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving). These women want to prevent further tragedies. They have worked to encourage the government to limit the youngest drinking age. Students have formed a similar organization, SADD (Students Against Drunk Driving) and are spreading the same message among their friends.For many Americans the automobile is a necessity (必需品). But for some, it is also a mark of social position and for young people, a sign of becoming an adult. Altogether, cars mean very much to Americans.32. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. Cars have encouraged the growth of the cities. B. Cars can bring families together when they go for picnics. C. Cars have enabled people to live far from their place of work. D. Cars help city families to transport their children to faraway schools.33. What has been done to deal with the problem of drunk driving? A. Parents have paid more attention to their children. B. University students have asked the government to solve the problem. C. Some organizations have been set up against drunk driving. D. Mothers have tried to persuade their children not to drink alcohol.34. We can infer from the passage that _ in America. A. it will be more difficult for people to get new cars B. cars will still be popular though they have caused many problems C. parents will not allow their children to have their own cars D. the government will encourage people to use public transportation35. In the United States, people think the automobile means much to them _. A. though different people have different ideas on the use of the automobile B. because everybody has a car C. because for people, except the young, it is a necessity as well as a convenience D. though children are not allowed to use cars by their parents第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的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。There is one thing that everyone wants more than anything else. _36_.
