  At first, I couldn't believe it. There were no desks in rows; no bells; no one had to go to class. Though we all lived“ 1 ”, nobody made us go to bed at a certain time; there was no“light out”.

  The strange thing is 2 practically all the students went to class, and 3 people stayed up late at night. Only the new people stayed up or 4 class. The new ones always went wild at first, but this 5 lasted long. It took some getting used to the 6 . Our teacher treated us like grown-ups; never did we have to 7 “stand up”, “sit down”, or“speak out”. I don't 8 one student who didn't try his best.

  The subjects were the same as those in 9 schools, but what a difference in the approach(=way of dealing with a person or thing)! For example, in botany(植物学)we had 10 classes in spring or fall, but instead we 11 two gardens, a vegetable garden and a flower garden. Then in 12 each of us studied a few particular things about what we 13 . In math the students built three different kinds of storerooms-small ones 14 but usable. They did this instead of having lessons in the classroom. They really had a 15 time too, designing everything, drawing the blueprints, 16 out the angles(角度)and so on. I didn't take math. I can't stand it! 17 , I could do the basic things with numbers. That's enough.

  On the whole, I think I am a 18 person for having gone to the school. I can read and write as well as anyone else of my age, 19 I can think better. That's probably a real difference between the free school and regular school-the amount of 20 .

Having had neither a __22__ nor a chance to an Olympic-sized pool in the past year, she had no choice but to __23__ on her own at a 12m public pool.

There is a 50-meter __24__ in nearby Nazareth, but the Israeli government did not __25__ her to use it.

Nassar was __26__ to training only when she returned to her parents' home in Bethlehem, __27__ she did so only about every two months for two days or so. __28__ the pool is only 12 meters long.

“My parents and friends always __29__ me, reminding me that I had to keep training if I __30  wanted to go to the Olympics,” she said.

It was only when Nassar __31__ China a month ago that she finally got the opportunity to swim in a 50m pool and enjoyed the __32__ of having a coach.

When she at last took part in the Games, she swam the 50m in 31.97 seconds, a(n) __33__ of seven seconds on her personal __34__. Nassar said it was the most beautiful moment of her life.

She will not __35__ on the cover of Time magazine or __36__ millions of dollars in endorsements(捐款), but she can always say she won a race at the Olympics. For her, it wasn’t about __37__ the other swimmers or winning a prize, but about __38__ her own goal, __39__ difficult. When I think things are too difficult or I get those “I-just-can’t-do-it,” I think of her. Then I realize how __40__ the task before me really is.

17【题文】You're busy filling out the application form for a position you really need. Let's assume you once actually completed a couple of years of college work or even that you completed your degree. Isn't it appealing to lie just a little, to claim on the form that your diploma represents a Harvard degree? Or that you finished an extra couple of years back at State University? More and more people are turning to cheat like this to land their job or to move ahead in their careers, for personnel officers, like most Americans, value degrees from famous schools. A job applicant may have a good education anyway, but he or she assumes that chances of being hired are better with a diploma from a well-known university.

Registrars(登记员) at most well-known colleges say they deal with deceitful claims like these at the rate of about one per week. Personnel officers do check up on degrees listed on application forms, then. If it turns out that an applicant is lying, most colleges are unwilling to accuse the applicant directly. One Ivy League school calls them "cheats"; another refers to them as "special cases". One well-known West Coast school, in perhaps the most delicate phrase of all, says that these claims are made by "no such people". To avoid outright(彻底的) lies, some job-seekers claim that they "attending" means being dismissed after one semester. It may be that "being associated with" a college means that the job-seeker visited his younger brother for a football weekend. One school that keeps records of false claims says that the practice dates back at least to the turn of the century—that's when they began keeping records, anyhow. If you don't want to lie or even stretch the truth, there are companies that will sell you a false diploma.

  One company, with offices in New York and on the West Coast, will put your name on a diploma from any number of nonexistent colleges. The price begins at around twenty dollars for a diploma from "Smoot State University". The prices increase rapidly for a degree from the "University of Purdue". As there is no Smoot State and the real school in Indiana is properly called Purdue University, the prices seem rather high for one sheet of paper.

41.The main idea of this passage is that ______.

A.employers are checking more closely on applicants now

B.lying about college degrees has become a widespread problem

C.college degrees can now be purchased easily

D.employers are no longer interested in college degrees

42.According to the passage, "special cases" refers to cases that ______.

A.students attend a school only part-time

B.students never attended a school they listed on their application

C.students purchase false degrees from commercial firms

D.students attended a famous school

43.We can infer from the passage that _______.

A.performance is a better judge of ability than a college degree

B.experience is the best teacher

C.past work histories influence personnel officers more than degrees do

D.a degree from a famous school enables an applicant to gain advantage over others in job competition

44.This passage implies that ______.

A.buying a false degree is not moral

B.personnel officers only consider applicants from famous schools

C.most people lie on applications because they were dismissed from school

D.society should be greatly responsible for lying on applications

18【题文】Doris Lessing was born in 1919 in Persia, moving as a child with her family to southern Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, where she stayed in school only to the age of 14.

A year after moving to London, she published her first novel in 1950. The Grass is Singing examines unbridgeable racial conflict in colonial Africa through the eyes of a white farmer's wife and her black servant.

Her literary breakthrough came in 1962 with publication of The Golden Notebook, seen by many, though not necessarily Lessing, as a pioneering work of modern feminism(女权运动). A disjointed study of the mind of the main character, Anna Wulf, the novel explores her thoughts about Africa, politics, relationships with men and sex, and Jungian analysis and dream interpretation.

Lessing's themes changed to psychology in her works from the 1960s, and by the 1970s she was interested in the Islamic mystic tradition of Sufism(苏菲教派). Her turn toward science fiction with the Canopus series in the early 1980s was not warmly received by traditional critics, but she has continued to be popular with new readers and numerous literary awards, including the David Cohen British Literary Prize and the Companion of Honour from the Royal Society of Literature, both in 2001.

Following the announcement, the Horace Engdahl told VOA why he was personally so pleased with Lessing's selection.

“She is one of the truly great writers -- of novels, short stories, fiction and non-fiction,” Engdahl said. “She is one of the few writers who have had the courage to uphold the principle of equality between the male and female experience, and she has given the impulse to numbers of other women writers. And she is really the mother of a school that is one of the most important in our contemporary literature.”

At 87, Doris Lessing is the oldest Nobel Literature winner since the first prizes were awarded in 1901.

49. What would be the best title of the passage?

A.Doris Lessing’s Great Writings.

B.Doris Lessing’s Concern about Africa.

C.A Great Writer of Novel and a Pioneer of Modern Feminism.

D.A Nobel Prize Winner for Literature.

50.It can be inferred from the passage that _______.

A.there are only two characters in The Grass is Singing

B.The Golden Notebook is regarded as Lessing’s masterpiece by herself

C.life in Africa in her early age lays solid foundation for her writing

D.Doris Lessing is strongly against traditional culture in Africa

51.According to the fourth paragraph, _______.

A.Lessing began to believe in Christ in the 1970s

B.Lessing’s science fiction won readers

C.Lessing had won two literary medals for her writings

D.Lessing changed her themes to meet the needs of traditional critics

52.The underlined word “impulse” in the 6th passage is closest in meaning to _______.

A.pressure

B.inspiration

C.energy

D.desire

【答案】

Dear Jack,

I’m very glad to tell you something about the Beijing Olympic Games. The 2008 Summer Olympic Games lasted 17 days, which were held in Beijing on August 8th and dropped their curtain on Aug. 24. More than 10,000 athletes from over 200 countries and areas took part. The Games saw 43 new world records and 132 new Olympic records. The American athlete, Michael Phelps broke the record for most gold medals in one Olympics. China performed so wonderfully that it won a total of 100 medals, including 51 gold medals, leading the gold medal count for the first time in history.

Beijing’s successful hosting of the Games has earned global praise and the organizing work has been considered perfect. I hope the 2012 London Olympic Games will also be a perfect one.

With best wishes.

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua

We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. "Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?" "When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck? “And Paul, why didn't pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car?" When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it's too late.

Why do we go wrong about our friends—or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don't really listen we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, "You're a lucky dog, "and that's being friendly. But "lucky dog"? There's a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn't see it himself. But bringing in the "dog" bit puts you down a little, what he may be saying is that he doesn't think you deserve your luck.

"Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for" is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn't important. It's telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven't got a date for Saturday night.

How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.

62. This passage is mainly about ______.

A. how to interpret what people say

B. what to do when you listen to others talking

C. why we go wrong with people and how to avoid these mistakes

D. why we go wrong with people sometimes

63. According to the author, the reason why we go wrong about our friends is that       .

A. we fail to listen carefully when they talk  

B. we tend to doubt what our friends say

C. people tend to be annoyed when we check what they say

D. people usually state one thing but mean another.

64. The underlined word "it" in the second paragraph refers to______.

A. being friendly   B. a bit of envy    C. lucky dog               D. your luck

65. When we listen to a person talking, the most important thing for us to do is     __.

A. notice the way the person is talking

B. take a good look at the person talking

C. mind his tone, his posture and the look in his eyes

D. examine the real meaning of what he says based on his manner, his tone and his posture

66. The author is most probably a ______.

A. teacher     B. psychologist   C. philosopher    D. doctor

       Everyone smiled at me and said, “Please blow out the candles and make a   35  !” I said to   36  , “I hope this moment will last   37  and ever,” then I blew out all the candles. I was so   38  that I could not say anything. Tears came to my eyes but I just   __39  . I repeated “thanks very much” many times.
