In winter, I often walk in a nearby park during lunch time. The park is quiet, as 21 people

have the time to enjoy the winter sun on a weekday. The two people that are often seen are a middle-aged father and his little daughter 22 her school uniform. The father looks like he has all the time in the world——he 23 to hurry along the jogging path; instead he matches his pace with 24 of the little girl. Sometimes they are lying 25 in the sun, laughing and chatting.

The man certainly doesn’t look 26 . What sort of job can he have that gives him the flexibility to walk in the park in the middle of the day?

And today, we 27 sat on the rocks and had a little chat. “You 28 enjoy the park very much to come here so often,” I said. The father nodded. “How” I asked curiously, “do yougkstkCom

29 to leave your office to be with your daughter every day?”

The story that the father, Satyendra Dugbey, told me showed me how, if we 30 under the surface, even ordinary people’s life can be quite 31 .

“I used to be no different from any of those thousands of office workers 32 to work every day,” he began. His wife and he were well 33 but rarely managed time off for leisure.

Everything changed after an accident 34 Dugbey was hit by a car. As he lay in hospital, terrifying thoughts 35 his mind. “How would my daughter, then only four, remember me if I died that day?” “Would my daughter have 36 of being with her father?”

The moment he recovered and went back to work, Dugbey took time off at lunch, 37 her daughter from school which was just next door to his working place, and took her to the park.

It was actually a very small change he’d made, he said, but it amazed him every day to see the difference it 38 to his life. “It brings me so much 39 that I can’t believe why others haven’t thought of doing the same thing.” he said simply.

I got up to continue my 40 walk, unexpectedly happy after his story.

29. A. succeed B. fail C. manage D. struggle

30. A. dig B. push C. clean D. knock

第二部分：阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分）

第一节：阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。

A

As my fortieth birthday approaches, inevitable as a new hair-do, I realize how many women friends I’ve had over the years. Most have come and gone with the changes of life, just like the latest shoe fashions waltz in and out of my closet.

Some of my friends, like some of my shoes, were silly mistakes. They never did fit properly, and they always felt slightly “off”, no matter how hard I tried to fit my feet into them. Others were my absolute favorite for a while, but they wore out or wore off. All style and no substance; the quality just wasn’t there.

Then there are my true friends—the ones who, like a pair of fine shoes, never go out of style or out of favor, whose appeal and value just increase with wear and time. These are friends who stay in touch and stand by me—as if they and I have never gone off to a new state, or a new job. Physical distance does not separate us; time does not change the fundamental fact of our friendship; the wear and tear of life does not stop us. The sole still support us; the colors and lines still please us; the uppers, still strong but grown soft, gently bent around feet. Our connection is securely fastened, unaffected by the whirlwind of changes we’ve each been through, even when life carries us in different directions.

If the comparison fits…

Deborah is the evening shoe, elegant and lovely. She appreciates the finer things, choose only the best, and still looks polished long after the rest of us have drooped. She is a study in elegance and knows the difference between bone, and winter white. From this splendid treasure, I’ve come to recognize my own appreciation for the finer things in life—and to the realization that I deserved them.

Jane is that pair of essential, timeless pumps that I wear often and would be lost without. With this classic, my basic needs and comfort level are assured—leaving me time and energy for fun. I can move gracefully from day to night, from work to play, from jokes to discussion. My step is light; laughter comes easily and I am ready for adventure.

Georgiana is my pair of standard white Keds—familiar, comfortable and good for all seasons. I’ve had them since long before. They are part of my childhood. They take me home, and I am a kid again diving into the ocean on a hot summer day. They have been up the hill and through the mud with me. They keep me moving forward, even when putting one foot in front of the other feels like the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I know I can slip them tomorrow and all days after. I am indebted to these lovely worn sneakers.

In the shoe rack of life, these are the friends I cherish. They are the base upon which I stand. They accompany me on my chosen path, regardless of where it leads or how bumpy or winding it gets.

41. The writer’ s fortieth birthday was mentioned as a(n) .

A. explanation for her buying new shoes B. introduction of the topic of the passage

C. description of her satisfaction with life D. suggestion on how to win friends

42. Paragraph 2 is mainly about .

A. where I can find good friends B. when I should say good-bye to my friends

C. why I don’t like some of my friends
