第二节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分, 共30分）

阅读下面短文, 掌握其大意, 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。

It’s funny how you’d ask a kid today what he/she’d like to be when they grow up. 36 they’d say, “I want to be like my daddy or like my mummy.” You ask the same question to 37 and you’d hear them saying they 38 to be like R, Kelly, Dora or Obama. These people are 39 in their own rights(凭他们自身的努力), but that’s not enough reason to spend your time living out a life just trying to be an image of 40 person. This same question is not just 41 to kids and teens; ask adults and they’d also tell you they want to be like Bill Gates or Ellen Sirleaf Johnson.

We live in a 42 in which people are from different backgrounds. Some are born with 43

spoons and others with no spoon at all. We live in a world of 44 and solutions, obstacles and

stepping-stones, depending on where you’re looking.

Most of us spend our time and energy 45 shoes to fit into, leaving ours behind, trying to live life and 46 the way our role models do. It’s good but that’s not the 47 factor that we’d be like them, 48 we’d be surprised that we’ll fall short of our expectations if we spend much energy 49 the wind. Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration, so it’s 50 that we all have the 1% in our genetic make-up but we need to work hard.

Now, I’m not trying to say it’s 51 to want to be like somebody else; all I’m trying to say is that you were born here for a reason---You were given an empty 52 to write your life in. I wouldn’t want your book to be 53 with how so-so and so is but rather how “I am”, for as you go around trying out people’s 54 , who’s going to try yours? Even if you don’t become successful in life, 55 yourself with the thought that at least your shoes are worth trying out.

A. Fortunately B. Generally C. Surprisingly D. Curiously

37. A. teenagers B. adults C. kids D. elders

A. refuse B. agree C. hesitate D. want

A. ambitious B. weak C. great D. kind

A. another B. any C. each D. other

A. passed B. introduced C. carried D. limited

A. country B. world C. village D. city

A. silver B. wooden C. iron D. stone

A. opportunities B. successes C. challenges D. achievements

A. holding up B. looking for C. taking up D. caring for

A. stay B. insist C. continue D. act

A. simple B. permanent C. chief D. obvious

A. because B. though C. but D. and

A. removing B. chasing C. avoiding D. changing

A. strange B. funny C. likely D. clear

A. bad B. hard C. natural D. good

A. chance B. hand C. head D. book

A. provided B. filled C. painted D. charged

A. clothes B. trousers C. shoes D. jackets

A. forgive B. comfort C. remind D. charge

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。

A

Mr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. He took the only escape route—through the boot.

Mr. Johnson’s car had ended up in a ditch(沟渠) at Romney Marsin, Kent after he lost proper control on ice and hit a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly,” Mr. Johnson said. “I couldn’t force the doors open because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in.”

Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn (笛) and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.

Later he said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew（松开）the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came.”

It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench (扳手) and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes pa
