Part ADirections: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A,B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET I. (40 points)Text 1We 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." 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 the 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 to you may save another mistake.21. This passage is mainly about______.A) how to interpret what people sayB) what to do when you listen to others talkingC) how to avoid mistakes when you communicate with peopleD) why we go wrong with people sometimes

共用题干第三篇Treat Teenagers with RespectMy husband Bill and I have received comments from other parents expressing their sympathies ever since Douglas's 14th birthday,since our son is a teenager now. We've heard a lot,such as "Well,when kids become teenagers,they are awful,just do your best to go through this tough period."or"I know he's a good child,but just wait,now that he's a teenager."I know that teenagers at times can be difficult to deal with,but I'm in my mid-thirties and I can also be tough.We are concerned about the future of our kids and want today's children to know that we do love and care them and that there are opportunities waiting for them. Nevertheless,when they just start their journey toward adulthood, we stand there expecting them to make mistakes."Just like we knew they would."We tell them to respect themselves and to say no to drugs,yet we are not setting a positive example by showing our respect for them,and fail to treat them with consideration and kindness.At times I have felt guilty of this behavior but I now realize that the more I see each person as a person,the more I am pleasantly surprised in some way or another. For instance,a few days ago Bill and I were having dinner at our favorite restaurant to celebrate my birthday and three teenage boys entered and sat down right beside us.The first thought came into my mind,I must admit,was,"Gosh, there goes our peaceful and quiet dinner."But,the fact proved I was very wrong!The three teenagers were quiet,well behaved and even left a nice tip for the waiters.Once I looked beyond their colored hair and the loose jeans that were practically falling off,I saw what fine people these young men were.Many parents are upset about the fact that teenagers adore sports stars and pop singers,yet they themselves,perhaps unknowingly,treat their kids with disrespect.As far as I think we really shouldn't complain unless we give them something better to go after.Who are responsible for the fact that pop singers and sports stars become heroes of teenagers?A:The society.B:Themselves.C:Their parents.D:All of the above.

In the fall of 1924 Thomas Wolfe，fresh from his courses in play writing at Harvard joined the eight or ten of us who were teaching English composition in New York University.I had never before seen a man so tall as he，and so ugly.I pitied him and went out of my way to help him with his work and make him feel at home.His students soon let me know that he had no need of my protectiveness.They spoke of his ability to explain a poem in such a manner as to have them shouting with laughter or struggling to keep back their tears，of his readiness to quote in detail from any poet they could name.Indeed，his students made so much of his power of observation that I decided to make a little test and see for myself.My chance came one morning when the students were slowly gathering for nine o‘clock classes.Upon arriving at the university that day，I found Wolfe alone in the large room which served all the English composition teachers as an office.He did not say anything when I asked him to come with me out into the hall，and he only smiled when we reached a classroom door and I told him to enter alone and look around.He stepped in，remained no more than thirty seconds and then came out.“Tell me what you see.”I said as I took his place in the room，leaving him in the hall with his back to the door.Without the least hesitation and without a single error，he gave the number of seats in the room，pointed out those which were taken by boys and those occupied by girls，named the colors each student was wearing，pointed out the Latin verb written on the blackboard，spoke of the chalk marks which the cleaner had failed to wash from the floor，and pictured in detail the view of Washington Square from the window.As I rejoined Wolfe，I was speechless with surprise.He，on the contrary，was wholly calm as he said，“The worst thing about it is that I‘ll remember it all.”What is the passage mainly discussing A.Thomas Wolfe‘s teaching work.B.Thomas Wolfe‘s course in playwriting.C.Thomas Wolfe‘s ability of explaining.D.Thomas Wolfe‘s genius.
