The letter was a great disappointment to me. It was from Holy Cross, the only school I really wanted to 36 . I scanned the page, “…. We had a great applicant pool this year. …We can’t offer spaces to 37 and place you on our waiting list.”
“What does it say, honey?” my dad asked, his voice full of 38 for me.
“I didn’t get in, but I’m on the waiting list.”
“Well, at least it isn’t 39 ,” he said brightly.
“Yeah, but 40 , I don’t want to be on the waiting list; I want to be 41 . No one gets in off the waiting list. It’s a way of saying ‘Thanks for 42 ’.”
“Then let’s go out there and tell them so.”
“That sounds 43 , dad.” I said sadly, “It doesn’t work.”
Upset and annoyed, I 44 myself in my room. However,my father’s advice kept 45 in my head. I thought about it for a few days, finally coming to the 46 that he was right. And the next day I seated myself across from Mr. Luis Soto, my admissions officer.
“What can I do for you, Nacie?” he asked pleasantly.
“Well, sir, I am here to tell you that I love this school and would love a 47 to be here. I just wanted to tell you how much going here would 48 to me—it is my only dream college— and that I would use my time here to the best 49 . I wanted to let you know that if you gave me a chance and reconsidered my application, you wouldn’t 50 it.” The words had poured out 51 I could stop them or check their desperate tone .
Mr. Soto looked me over for a minute before he smiled broadly.
“OK, that is the kind of thing we love to hear. Congratulations, you’re in.”
It was so 52 and I asked, “I’m sorry?”
“We want people in the class who want to be here, who will 53 the best of this education. I’m glad you came to talk 54 to me. I’m happy to offer you a position in the Class of 2011.”

第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
A
Road politeness is not only good manners ,but good sense too .It takes the most cool-headed and good-tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to take revenge (报复)on uncivilized behavior. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the tensions of motoring A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such acknowledgements of politeness are all too rare today. Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.
However, misplaced politeness can be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who brakes violently to allow a car to come out of a side street at some danger to following traffic, when a few seconds later the road would be clear anyway; or the man who waves a child across a zebra crossing into the path of oncoming vehicles that may be unable to stop in time The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they like to. It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies.
An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if motorists learnt to move correctly into traffic streams one at a time without causing the total blockages that give rise to bad temper. Unfortunately, modern motorists can’t even learn to drive ,let alone master the less obvious points of roadmanship. Years ago the experts warned us that an explosion in car-ownership would demand a lot more give and take from all road users. It’s high time for all of us to take this message to heart.
56.According to the passage, the role of politeness is .
A.resisting the temptation to take revenge on uncivilized behavior
B.reducing the tensions of motoring
C.responding to a friendly nod or wave of acknowledgement
D.Both A and B
57.By“good sense”in the first paragraph, the writer means .
A.the driver’s ability to understand and react reasonably
B.the driver’s immediate response to difficult and severe conditions
C.the driver’s tolerance of bad or even rude behavior
D.the driver’s acknowledgement to politeness and regulations
58.In the writer’s opinion,
A.strict traffic regulations are badly needed
B.drivers should apply road politeness properly
C.rude drivers should be punished
D.drivers should avoid traffic jams
B
A week ago, I had the great pleasure of reading an e-book, When Money Talks, Listen! By Rich Ezzo. It took only about an hour to read.
When I first received a copy, I thought it was a Get Rich Quick type of publication. Nothing is wrong with Get Rich Quick, but my mind just doesn’t chase after dreams of wealth. I think that if God ever wants me to be rich, he knows where to find my purse.
When I began reading When Money Talks, Listen!, I was overjoyed to find that Rich Ezzo isn’t money hungry either. He, too, is hungry far more important than money.
Since I love this e-book so much, why wait a week to write the review? Simple. I wanted to see if the effect it had on me was a keeper. After reading the last word of the e-book, I totally agreed with the subtitle which promised to forever change the way we thought about money. I had so many thoughts running around my mind that I had to install(安装) a stoplight to stop some while others made their way into the picture, then I yielded(让路) them as a few ones arrived in town. I had a mental traffic jam, which only goes to show how slow the traffic usually is.
It has been a week and the effect is the same. I truly do look at money differently and have even done a few things differently this week. This is an e-book you’ll want to read, I promise. I often recommend books to my daughter, and this is one that I didn’t just “suggest”---I left it open at the bottom of the computer and told each one, “Read it, you’ll love it.”
I would never point someone in a direction I wouldn’t go myself. I urge you to visit the author’s website, Myster Money, and to download the e-book. You won’t regret it.
59.The author wrote this passage to _________.
A.strongly recommend an e-book.
B.show the author's attitude to money.
C.introduce the general idea of an e-book.
D.point out Rich Ezzo isn't money hungry.
60.According to the passage, a Get Rich Quick type of publication ______.
A.is what the author really cares for
B.deals with how to make money
C.is also an e-book written by Rich Ezzo
D.is more popular than e-books
61.The author didn't write the review as soon as he finished reading the book because________.
A.he was too excited to write anything
B.he was not sure whether he did well
C.he had to wait for Rich Ezzo's permission
D.he wondered if the book would have long influence on him
62.Which of the following is supported by the passage?
A.The author had known Rich Ezzo before.
B.The author hasn't dreamed of getting rich immediately.
C.The author always prefers e-books to paper books.
D.The author likes Get Rich Quick-type of publications.
C
