One young man said that his weekend had not been very good. The young man then proceeded to ask me why I always seemed to be so cheerful.His question reminded me of something Id read somewhere before: “Every morning when you get up, you have a choice about how you want to approach life that day,” I said to the young man. “I choose to be cheerful.”“Let me give you an example,” I continued. “In addition to teaching here at UNLV, I also teach out at the community college in Henderson. One day a few weeks ago I drove to Henderson. I exited the freeway and turned onto College Drive. But just then my car died. I tried to start it again, but the engine wouldnt turn over. So I put my flashers on, grabbed my books, and marched down the road to the college.”“As soon as I got there, the secretary in the Provosts office asked me what had happened. This is my lucky day, I replied, smiling.”“Your car breaks down and today is your lucky day?” She was puzzled, “What do you mean?”“I live seventeen miles from here.” I replied. “ My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway. It didnt. Instead, it broke down in the perfect place: off the freeway, within walking distance of here. Im still able to teach my class, and Ive been able to arrange for the tow truck to meet me after class. If my car was meant to break down today, it couldnt have been arranged in a more convenient fashion.”21. The underlined phrase “turn over” in the third paragraph means “_”A. roll over B. work normally C. stopped suddenly D. move around22. According to this passage we can infer that the teachers car broke down _.A. near UNLV B. along the highwayC. near Henderson D. near the community college23. What do you think would happen after the story?A. The students asked the teacher to tell another story.B. The students wondered how to be cheerful.C. The story touched the students and they would try to be cheerful.D. The students doubted whether the story was true.BLiving in the wild can be hard. Finding food and staying safe arent easy. Each day, animals struggle to survive in their habitats. Not all animals get by on their own. Some animals form a close partnership with other kinds of animals. These pairings are called symbiotic (共生的) relationshipsIn a symbiotic relationship, the animals depend on each other. One animal helps the other meet its needs. Sounds good, right? Not always. Some animals are not very kind to their partners. In some cases, one animal meets its needs but hurts its partner. Take ticks, for example. These insects suck blood to live. To get blood, they attach themselves to other kinds of animals. Ticks can pass germs that cause disease instead of helping their hosts.In other relationships, animals dont treat their partners so poorly. Both animals benefit from living with the other animal.Small animals called cleaner shrimps have found a way of helping fish at coral reefs. As their name suggests, the shrimps clean the fish. They hang out at what scientists call a cleaning station. A fish stops by. Then a shrimp climbs onto the fish and even steps into the fishs mouth. The shrimp uses its tiny claws to pick stuff off the fishs body. That can include dead skin, tiny pieces of food, and wee creatures that can hurt the fish. The fish gets a nice cleaning. The shrimp enjoys a tasty meal of fish trash.Small birds called plovers are also in the cleaning business. They have big customerscrocodiles. Crocs have long snouts (鼻子) filled with sharp teeth. Cleaning them is tricky. When a croc opens its mouth, the plover hops right in. The croc does not snap its snout shutInstead, it lets the plover eat small, harmful animals attached to the crocodiles teeth. The plover gets an easy meal while the croc gets clean teeth.24. The text is mainly about _Athe hard life in the wildBsome dangerous animalsCanimals living togetherDanimals in a symbiotic relationship25. Why do the cleaner shrimps clean the fish?ATo get fish trash for foodBTo eat wee creaturesCTo help fish go out of coral reefsDTo get food for fish26. When plovers hop into crocodiles mouths, they _Aare really to clean crocodiles teethBare to make crocodiles happyCarent afraid of being eatenDarent happy to clean the crocodiles teethCAmerican colleges and universities consider a number of things about a student who wants to be admitted. Admission officers look not only at the grades that the student has earned. They also look at the level of difficulty of the classes. A students interests and activities may also play a part in getting accepted. But in most cases another consideration is how well the student did on college entrance exams. The SAT (Scholastic Assessment Tests) measures reasoning (推理) skills in mathematics and language. Students have almost four hours to complete the SAT. The newest part is an essay. Students have twenty-five minutes to write an answer to a question. The SAT costs forty-one dollars and fifty cents. The international processing charge is twenty-two dollars more. And test-takers in India and Pakistan must also pay a twenty-one dollar and fifty cent security charge.Students may also need to take SAT subject tests in areas like history, science and foreign language. Subject tests cost eighteen dollars each. The ACT is an achievement test. It is designed to measure what a student has learned in school. Students are tested in mathematics, English, reading and science. A writing test is offered but not required. Without it, the ACT takes about three hours to complete. The essay part adds thirty minutes. The ACT costs forty-nine dollars to take outside the United States. The writing test costs an additional fourteen dollars.Recent Chinese news reports suggested that ACT testing would be expanded in China next year. But an ACT spokesman denies those reports. He tells us they were based on a misunderstanding. He says there are no plans to increase the number of testing centers in China. Ten centers there offer the ACT, but students must first take training classes at those centers. The only place in China where the SAT is offered for Chinese students is in HongKong. International students living in China have more choices.27If you want to go to college all the following is important EXCEPT_A. the personality and hobbies B. the grades gainedC. the result of the test D. the high school record28. If a student from India wants to take the SAT, how much should he pay?A41.5 dollars B63.5 dollars C63 dollars D85 dollars29.

Which of the following statements is not true about ACT test?AThe ACT test centers in China will be expanded next yearBThere are ten ACT testing centers in ChinaCA student cant take the ACT test without taking training classes in the testing centerDA student should pay 49 dollars to take ACT if he doesnt take the writing test第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）DThe Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where weve never been before.But just as in face to face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line. 31 Imagine how youd feel if you were in the other persons shoes.For anything youre about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the persons face?” If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. 32 If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so. 33 If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.34 Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether its a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If its a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesnt give you license to correct everyone else. 35 At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, dont ask such questions.A. Its natural that there some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.B. Repeat the process till you feel sure that youd feel comfortable saying the words to the persons face.C. Everyone was new to the network once.D. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.E. When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear.F. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages.G. If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely.III. 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）My first memories of acts of kindness are from when I was about 12 years old.
