As a teenager, I was pretty lazy when it came to doing thingsfor my family. I worked hard at school, and sometimeslooked after my younger sister. Still, I found myself regularly resisting the urge to 36 out at home with even the simplest things.

Every Wednesday afternoon, for example, my mother 37 me to another town for a piano lesson. During my two-hour lesson, she’d rush to the nearby store and buy a week’s worth of 38 . Given the fact that my mom had driven me twelve miles there, twelve miles back, 39 for my lesson, and bought me a candy bar, you’d think I’d be very 40 to help her bring the groceries into the house. 41 I wasn’t. I generally just brought in an armload and left the 42 for Mom as I ran to my room, shut the door, and started studying.

Don’t get me wrong: even back in my room, I felt 43 about not helping my mother more. Deep inside, I wanted to change my 44 . But I also realized that once I did change, there’d be no going back. 45 I took on more responsibility, my parents would start 46 more of me. At age fifteen, I sensed that this one small change would 47 something much bigger: my personal change from a cared-for, spoiled (被宠坏的) childto a more 48 , caring and giving young man.

I’ll never forget the Wednesday when I made a(n) 49 to jump in and see what happened. Returning home from the 50 , I disappeared into my room, as usual. But once inside, I felt that deep and burning 51 . Throwing my school books on the bed, I suddenly opened my door and 52 back to the garage to help my mother. How happy I felt that day!

Surely, over time, I continued to help out with more housework. The neat thing was, the more I helped out, the 53 I felt about myself and my place in my family. As Mom and Dad realized they could 54 on me more, our trips became far less stressful, too. In short, it was a win-win situation for everyone.

Sometimes the little things we put off doing the longest 55 out to be the simplest things to complete. And feeling happy beats feeling guilty any day.

36．A. help B. cry C. start D. work

37．A.sent B. drove C. walked D. guided

38．A. fruits B. flowers C. groceries D. vegetables

39．A. paid B.fought C. applied D. planned

40．A. nervous B. grateful C. confident D. unwilling

41．A. So B. And C. Thus D. But

42．A. one B. other C. next D. rest

43．A. excited B. curious C. guilty D. doubtful

44．A. way B. world C. career D. shape

45．A. Since B. Though C. Unless D. Once

46．A. warning B. reminding C. expecting D. informing

47．A. tell B. mark C. express D. describe

48．A. energetic B. ambitious C. outgoing D. responsible

49．A. excuse B. decision C. statement D. appointment

50. A.duty B.store C. lesson D. holiday

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

Dear Ms. Wang,

I am writing to inform you of some arrangements about my composition course and Latin course next year.

I’ve decided to re-establish the 5-paragraph essay as the goal for the composition course. I interviewed some of my former students and they all agreed that being able to write critically and continuouslywas important to them.

So next academic year, Term 1 will be like always: sentences to paragraphing. And Term 2 will work toward the 5-paragraph essay. The final 3 weeks of Term 2 will be reserved tointroduce writing for TOEFL and CEE. By that time, if the students have done their job correctly, then they should be able to write quite well.

As for the Latin course, I will post notices around campus next week so that the students will understand what’s on offer before I actually introduce the course. A number of students already emailed me about the course.

I am sure you don’t understand what a big deal our opening this program at our school is. People around the world are interested in what we plan to do. There are many rewards available to the students who succeed in the course. Please share what I have said with the administration. I want them to understand the importance of this course. The reason I have contacted these colleagues (actually Oxford contacted me) isthatI have confidence in our students and in myself. I know that when those professors meet our students and hear them speaking and reading Latin, they are going to be amazed. It will open all sorts of doors for students that they never even thought of knocking on.:]

Well, that’s it for now. I’ll see you soon.

Yours,

Edward Johnson
