English was always my favorite subject. In my freshman year of high school, I could write a killer composition. In my junior year, my 11 allowed me to give spelling tests to the class. I had wonderful 12 of this year. Mrs. Alexander 13 me to sit at her desk and take over the class when she had to leave the room. Only my senior English class was 14 , as we had a teacher right out of college who expected college-level work. Every student received a “C” or “D” grade the first quarter. 15 English was still my subject.

I graduated from high school, 16 early and had children. 17 about my English, I often helped my kids with their English homework. And I 18 long articles and beautiful poetry for a newspaper. Fifteen years later, I went to college, and because I had been an “A” student, I 19 an “A” student. I lived up to my own expectations.

Yesterday, I 20 my high school report cards when I was reading old papers. That bundle (捆) of report cards 21 back the old days. I remembered sitting in my advisor’s office, explaining that I had always been excellent at English and complaining that I did not 22 a “D” from that inexperienced teacher of my senior year. The advisor was 23 but unable to change a grade.

My old 24 cards showed something else too. I wanted to tear them up or 25 them. I was not an “A” student in high school English! Somehow, I had convinced myself of this, when the grades clearly reflected an 26 student with an occasional “A” or “B”, but mostly “C”s.

Had I lived up to those 27 and define (定义) myself according to those letters, I would have never confidently 28 my writing career. Had I believed in my early grades instead of myself, I would have allowed my fear of 29 to defeat my enthusiasm and damage my creativity. 30 , I regarded my younger self as an “A” English student, except for that undeserved “D”.

第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）

第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）

A

I was sitting in the room reading when I heard a loud noise. To defend my home from break-in, I picked up my defense weapon--- a broom and went out. There on the roof of my porch（门廊）, I saw a grey fluffy squirrel. I drove her away with the broom, but the next day I heard her again.

I searched squirrels on the net and found because their teeth keep growing, they have to constantly chew on things to shorten their teeth. This was disturbing so I asked my husband to call in some wildlife control people.

On Monday morning two men showed up, with guns in their hands. I pointed uneasily to the hole in my porch roof. They held up their guns. Suddenly I saw in my mind the baby nursery inside. I stopped them and confirmed that they wouldn’t harm her. They hesitated, but finally put down their guns. Then they brought out a bottle of deodorizer（除臭剂）and sprayed it into the squirrel’s home. They told me she would not like the smell and would leave.

There was no sign of Mrs. Squirrel, so they blocked the hole, took my cheque for $250 and left. Shortly after they left, Mrs. Squirrel returned from her shopping trip. She was mad at being driven out and began feverishly clawing at the porch roof. In order to stop the destruction of my home, I drove her away with the broom again.

31. What did the author think of the squirrel at first?

A. Troublesome. B. Dangerous. C. Interesting. D. Clever.

32. Why didn’t the author ask the wildlife control people to come again?

A. She worried about the safety of the squirrel.

B. She thought the company charged too much.

C. She decided to drive away the squirrel herself.

D. She doubted the ability of the wildlife control people.

33. What can we learn from the passage?

A. Getting rid of the squirrel needs patience.

B. The squirrel has destroyed the author’s house.

C. The author has developed affection for the squirrel.

D. The author singed an agreement with Mrs. Squirrel.

34. The author has written the passage in a (an) ________ way.

A. persuasive B. serious C. informative D. amusing

B

I want to talk about the economy．Not "the economy" we hear about endlessly in the news each day and in politicians' speeches．I want to talk about the real economy, the one we live in day by day．

Most people aren't particularly interested in "the economy"．"Share prices are flying high; interest rates are soaring; the Dow Jones Index closed sixty-three points down on 8472．35．" We hear this and subconsciously switch off．

Notice that "the economy" is not the same as the economy, "The economy" is what men in suits play with to make vast personal wealth．The economy is where the rest of us live on a daily basis, earning our living, paying our taxes, and purchasing the necessities of life．

We are supposed to be benefiting from all the advantages of a well-off society．So why do we feel tired and stressed? We have no time for anything other than work, which is ridiculous given the number of labor-saving devices in our lives．Our towns become more and more crowded．We poison our air and seas, and our food is full of chemicals．There's something wrong here．If times were truly good, then you may think we'd all feel optimistic about the future．Yet the majority of us are deeply worried．More than 90 percent of us think we are too concerned about ourselves and not concerned enough about future generations．

The term "economic expansion" suggests something desirable, but expansion simply means spending more money．More spending doesn't mean that life is getting better．We all know it often means the opposite - greed, crime, poverty, pollution．More spending merely feeds our whole economic system, which is based on production and consumption．Unless money keeps circulating, the economy breaks down．If we don't keep consuming, the whole system goes into stalemate（僵局）．

How do we break the cycle and make some changes? We need to become far more aware of the results of our actions．We buy clothes that are made in sweat shops by virtual slaves in poor parts of the world．We create mountains of waste．We demand cheap food, mindless of the fact that it totally lacks taste and is produced using chemicals that poison the land．

The consumption culture makes us unaware of the effect of our own behavior．Our main problem is not that we don't know what to do about it．It is gathering the desire to do it．

35．According to the author, which one belongs to the real economy?

A. The Dow Jones Index．

B. Increases in interest rates．

C. Skyrocketing share prices．

D. Shopping in a supermarket．

36．It can be concluded from Paragraph 4 that ．

A. people are benefiting from a well-off society

B. the future generation is a big concern for most people

C. people still feel much pressure despite labor-saving devices

D
