四、阅读理解（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）
A
At the age of sixteen, I went on my first volunteer program in West Virginia to repair or build homes for poor families. When we arrived, we discovered that the family we were going to help was living in a trailer（拖车式活动房）that was in poor condition, no bigger than two parking spaces. A group of people had been working on it for two weeks, but every time they finished one problem, another appeared.
We soon decided that the only way was to build a new house. It was something unusual because normally our goal was to repair old homes. The family was pleased with their new house that was 20 by 30 feet with three bedrooms, a bath and a kitchen.
On Tuesday of that week, I asked the family’s three boys, Josh, Eric and Ryan, “What do you want for your new room?” Kids in the families we had helped usually wanted toys or posters, so we were surprised when Josh, the oldest boy said, “We just want beds.” The boys had never slept in a bed. That night we had a meeting and decided that beds would be the perfect gift. On Thursday night, a few adults in our group drove to the nearest city and bought beds and new bedding.
On Friday when we saw the truck coming, we told the family about the surprise. They were very excited.
That afternoon, while we were setting up the beds, Eric ran into the house to watch us with wide eyes. As Maggie, a member of our group, put one of the pillows on the bed, Eric asked, “What is that?”
“A pillow,” she replied.
“What do you do with it?” Eric went on asking.
“When you go to sleep, you put your head on it,” Maggie answered softly. Tears came to our eyes as she handed Eric the pillow.
“Oh . . . that’s soft,” he said, holding it tightly.
Now, when my sister or I start to ask for something that seems very urgent（急迫的）, my dad always asks, “Do you have a pillow?” We know exactly what he means.
( )43.Why did the writer’s group build a new house for the family?
A. Because it was their normal work.
B. Because the family asked them to do it.
C. Because the trailer could no longer be repaired.
D. Because they thought it was a perfect gift for the family.
( )44.What can we learn from the story?
A. The family needed two parking spaces.
B. The boys of the family wanted toys and posters.
C. The family were excited about the beds and bedding.
D. The writer’s group made some furniture for the family.
( )45.What is the best title for this passage?
A. The Pillow                B. A New House C. The Family                D. An Interesting Program
B
When you meet someone for the first time, you will get a general idea in your mind of that person in the first moment. Your feelings about other people, however, are really just show the way that you look at yourself. Your reactions to others say more about you than they do about others. You cannot really love or hate about yourself. We are usually drawn to those who are most like us and may dislike those who have the same characters as ourselves that we dislike.
    Therefore, you can allow others to be the mirror to see more clearly your own feelings of self-worth. And, you can view the people you judge negatively (否定地) as mirrors to show you what you are not accepting about yourself.
    To live peacefully with others, you will need to learn patience. A big challenge is to let your judgment of others be a lifelong research of yourself. Your task is to consider all the decisions and judgments you make onto others carefully and to begin to see whether you can use them to help yourself and become whole.
    Several days ago I had a business lunch with a man who showed objectionable table manners. My first feeling was to judge him as rude. When I noticed that I was judging him, I stopped and asked myself what I was feeling. I discovered that I was nervous to be seen with someone who was eating with his mouth open and loudly blowing his nose. I was very surprised to find how much I cared about how the other people in the restaurant judged me.
    Remember that your judgment of someone will not serve as some kind of protective thing against you becoming like him. Just because I judge my lunch partner as rude, it does not prevent me from ever looking or acting like him. In the same way, my patience to him would not cause me to suddenly begin eating my food with my mouth open.
　　When you get close to life in this manner, those with whom you hate very much as well as those whom you admire and love can be seen as mirrors, guiding you to discover parts of yourself that you dislike and to embrace your greatest characters you are proud of.
（ ）46. In the writer’s opinion, when we judge others, we are really ______.
A. treating them in a polite way
B. showing what we ourselves are
C. guiding ourselves to know them
D. telling them what they should do
（ ）47. Why did the writer feel bad when he was with his lunch partner?
A. Because he was afraid he himself might get the bad habits.
B. Because he was too angry to go on with his lunch any more.
C. Because he was afraid he might be thought badly of by others.
D. Because he was too nervous to speak his opinions out right there.
（ ）48. The writer writes the passage to ______.
A. tell us a story that happened in a restaurant
B. ask us not to behave rudely in some public places
C. encourage us to have the right attitude towards others
D. advise us to know ourselves from judging others properly
C
Have you wondered why you have two eyes and why they are set close together on the front of your face? The reasons are simple and important.
   Your eyes are like two small cameras. A camera catches an image（影像）of an object and records it on film. Similarly, when you look at something, each eye takes in what it sees and sends this image to the back of the eyeball. Because your eyes are set close together, they see the world from about the same height but from a little different angles(角度). While your right eye sees an object a little to the right, your left eye sees the same object a bit to the left. Working as a team, the eyes send the images to your brain, then your brain puts them together and you see a single image in the centre.
   Seeing in stereo means seeing with two eyes working together, which is called stereoscopic sight. This allows you to see the world in 3-D. Seeing depth（深度） helps you to judge how far it is between you and the objects you see, and then adjust（调整) to the changing angle so that you can see something clearly when you move closer or farther away. If images are coming from only one eye, however, height and width（宽度）—can be perceived. So if you see with one eye, you will get a 2-D image, as in a photograph.
   Now consider why your two eyes are on the front of your face. Think of other animals just like you. They are all hunting（猎杀）animals, like lions and tigers. This provides a field of sight about 180 degree wide, which is called binocular sight. On the other hand, animals that are hunted have eyes on the sides of the head, which provides nearly 360-degree field of sight. However, they don’t have stereoscopic sight. It is difficult for them to judge how far a danger is.
   With both stereoscopic and binocular sight, humans and hunting animals share the ability to see from side to side and to judge how far it is from other objects. If you think it would be great to have another kind of sight, perhaps with hundreds of tiny eyes like many insects(昆虫) do, think again! Each tiny insect eye sees only a tiny part. Besides, what if you needed glasses? Be glad for the eyesight that you have.
（ ）49.In Paragraph 2, the writer wants to __________.
A. tell us how our two eyes work
B. show the importance of eyes
C. compare our eyes with cameras
D. suggest using two eyes properly
（ ）50.The underlined word “perceived” in Paragraph 3 means________.
A. set    B. taken    C. seen      D. made
（ ）51. In the last paragraph, the writer thinks that “seeing in stereo” ______.
A. is similar to the way a camera works
B. is an ability humans are lucky to have
C. would be better for a wider field of sight
D. helps people to have better sight than animals
（ ）52. What is probably the best title for this passage?
A.  Seeing in Stereo                B. Protecting your eyes
C.  Treasuring your eyes             D. Seeing with eyes
五、阅读与表达（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）
Some people succeed, while others may not. This is because some people have certain qualities, which others do not.
The first thing you must remember is that in order to succeed, you must be optimistic（乐观）. If you do not expect to win, you will not try as hard as people who do expect to win. You also need to have a clear aim and a reason for doing something because motivation（动机） is a key to getting success. If you do not have an aim, then you won’t work hard and put your performance under the microscope（显微镜） to make sure that every detail is right.
Another quality that helps people succeed is creativity---thinking about things in a different way and wondering how others would do the same thing. Think about some successful people you know. They might be successful with a little creativity, but the most successful people are the most creative ones.
Reading is another to success, as it will help you learn about how other people have got success. If you want to learn how to set up a successful business, you should read books about people like Bill Gates and Jerry Yang, who have got amazing success in their areas of business.
Practicing is equally important if you want to be successful because practice makes perfect. Practise every day at whatever career you are in, and by doing so, you will see yourself, your business and your self-confidence begin to grow. If you feel confident about what you do, this confidence will make other people believe in you as well. Your workmates will be happy to work with you, and your boss will give you more responsibility（责任）. Finally if you are a successful person, you will be able to look people in the eye and smile confidently.
Success is yours for the taking! Cheers!
