I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career.I wasnt an excellent student because I didnt do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didnt have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasnt the type to have a career.I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls. It wasnt too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, shed give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didnt often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification if I wanted to work with children. I didnt think I would be accepted because I didnt take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.Now Ive got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you arent top of the class at school.21. What is the authors present job?A. Working part-time in a college. B. Taking care of children for a family.C. Helping children with their schoolwork. D. Looking after children at a kindergarten.22.

One must choose the job she/he likesBIf you know where to find a good plastic-free shampoo, can you tell Jeanne Haegele? Last September, the 28-year-old Chicago girl made up her mind to cut plastics out of her life. She was concerned about what the chemicals coming out of some common types of plastic might be doing to her body. She was also worried about the damage the plastic was doing to the environment. So she jumped onto her bike and rode to the nearest grocery store to see what she could find that didnt include plastic. I went in and hardly bought anything, Haegele says. She did buy some canned food and acarton(纸盒)of milk only to discover later that both containers were combined with plasticresin. Plastic, she says, just seemed like it was in everything.Shes right. Back in the 1960s, plastic was well on its way to becoming an important part of American life. The U.S. produced 28 million tons of plastic waste in 2005,27 million tons of which ended up inlandfills(垃圾填埋场). Our food and water come wrapped in plastic. Its used in our phones and our computers, the cars we drive and the planes we ride in. But the material has its darkside. Environmentalists feel worried about the petroleum needed to make it. Parents worry about thepossibility of poisonous chemicals making their wayfromhousehold plastic into childrens blood, which means Haegele isnt the only person tryingto cut plastic out of her life. But those whove tried know its far from easy to goplastic-free. These things seem to be so commonthat it is practically impossible to avoid them, says Frederick Vom Saal, abiologist at the University of Missouri.25. What does the writer mean by making the request at the very beginning of the passage?A. Jeanne Haegele is trying to avoid plastics in her daily lifeB. Jeanne Haegele cant find a good shampoo C. the writer wants to help Jeanne Haegele very muchD. you cant find free shampoo easily26. How may Jeanne Haegele have felt after she tried in the grocery store?A. relieved B. disgusted C. disappointed D. tired27. It is implied in the passage that_A. some biologists think little of going plastic-free. B. tons of plastic is wasted in AmericaC. plastic shouldnt be used any more D. the use of plastic has become a common concernCFear is an emotion like others such as happiness, anger, hurt and sadness. We need emotions to deal with the information we receive and decide how to respond. Being afraid of fast cars, for example, is something that might protect us from harm. Being afraid of the consequence(后果) of a choice may prevent us getting into trouble.Fears in young children commonly center on certain animals like snakes or big dogs. Fears are caused often because of experiences or ideas expressed by others, and at times, the media. Many normal fears during the early years, like men with beards, or large dogs, disappear with age. Those connected with personal failure and ridicule (嘲笑) remain through adulthood and may need special help to overcome.Research shows that as a child grows up, the center of his fears changes a lot. Things like divorce, a teacher who “shouted at me”, people with guns, bullies, big boys, or “making fun of me” top the list of childhood fears.Childrens fears are often trivial, but that doesnt mean they should be ignored. They need to be recognized and accepted as real for that child. Only when we help children understand their fears can they grow normally in their ability to deal with them. Also, We can not always prevent the bad experiences from happening, but its important that children be allowed to freely express their emotions without judgment. Sympathy and a caring listener will help ease the pain of these fears. Read books and stories to your child about children who have experienced similar fears. This helps children talk about their fears and find ways to cope with all emotions. Fears become less of a problem for children as they gain self-confidence and they find that fear is normal and can be dealt with.28. It is implied(暗示)that_.A. children should avoid the media to reduce their fearB. fear, like other emotions can sometimes does good to usC. all the childhood fears will have a lifelong influence unless they are overcome with special help.D. the same child often goes through similar fears all through his life.29. The underlined word “trivial” in the third paragraph probably means “_”.A. smallB. seriousC. harmfulD. common30. In order to help children with their fear, we should_.A. ask them to forget their fearsB. listen to their complaints and make a correct judgement C. relieve their pains by showing our understanding and careD .help them develop some hobbies like reading.31. Whats the best title for this passage?A. How to Overcome Childrens FearsB. Childrens FearsC. Reasons for Childrens FearsD. The Bad Effects of FearsDA great-grandfather has put up his Christmas tree for the 85th time after his father first bought it from a toy shop.Douglas Hewitt, 85, has celebrated every Christmas with the artificial tree since he was born. His father bought the tree from a toy shop in Sheffield just months after Douglas was born. The four-foot tree remains the centre point of the Hewitt family household during every festive season.Mr. Hewitt, of South Anston, South Yorkshire, said, “It reminds us of my childhood, our childrens childhood and our grandchildren and great-grandchildrens after that.

You have to be a bit more careful with it now, as its fragile.”Their daughter, June Murphy, also has fond memories of the Christmas tree.

Wed all be sad to see it go, as I think it would be hard to find such a loved replacement.”Mr. Hewitt said, “There were a lot more branches on it, and its lost its feathers that were all along the edge.

However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind. 36 . Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more active attitude, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. 37 Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide fun, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. 38 . Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film.Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. 39 Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people. 40 Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.A. To fight family laziness, set an example. B. Knowing how to fight laziness is important.C. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.D. Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.E. With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal.F. Laziness happens when you no longer feel in charge of your own life. G. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child.第II卷第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节,满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分,满分30分）阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Many years ago, I saw a homeless woman, who was wearing only thin clothes, coming in when I was working at a college.
