Just how popular was Mini? Very. Every year, her classmates voted her  31 the favourite student. She was so easy to 32 along with that the number of friends she had by far outnumbered (壓倒)those of anyone else in her group.
One day the 10-year-old was  33  talking in the class and ordered to stay back as  34 . Staying back 35 doing something “useful”, like helping in the garden or library after school.
Now the school in which Mini 36  had a rule of sorts. Once a month, you could interchange your punishment schedule with someone else. If you 37 something else to do the day you were punished, you could 38 a friend to stand in for you. Of course, you had to return the favour, but in that same month itself. Otherwise the favour cancelled itself out. So the students who stayed back for others and wanted the favour repaid, found ways to be punished that very month. 39 it happened, on that day a very dear aunt was visiting Mini on her way back to America. That afternoon was the only  40  Mini had of seeing her for another five years. Mini needed someone to stand in for her. That was a problem though it was the last day of the month. So anyone who helped her, would do so out of friendship's sake alone. She sought out Preeti, her “best'”friend. "Oh no Mini, I can't," Preeti said. "I have to coach my brother for his nursery entrance test. The kid just can't seem to get into any decent (體面的)school." And she spent a good  41 of time telling Mini of her brother's problems.
"Mohit, 42 you stay back for me?" Mini asked another friend who was dribbling a ball(運球) in the playground. She knew he often just hung around after school. "To help the librarian? I  43 you'd told me earlier. I have to go to a relative's house with my father. Some other day perhaps," and  44 that Mohit fled.
By now, Mini was beginning to  45  if even one of her friends would 46  to stay. But she tried again. Three  47 friends and each one refused. Of course, no one said "no" outright. Mini was a great pal, after all. But each had a “reason”why they couldn't take her place that afternoon, and if only it were some other day...
So, after school Mini stayed back to help the  48 , Ms Mathur. And, when the remote Ms Mathur found her crying after everyone had left, it was she  49  surprised Mini by allowing her to leave to meet her aunt. "Some popularity I have," Mini murmured(嘟囔) to herself, as she went home. "I may have many friends, but in reality I have  50 ."

Job interviews never seem easy.To get a job,you may have more interviews than you can count.To succeed in an interview,you should pay attention to the following common mistake.
Lack of proper preparations.Failure to gather information on the company and the job before the interview makes a very poor impression on interviews;it suggests that you are not really that interested in the position.
Inappropriate personal appearance.Consider the nature of the position and dress accordingly.When in doubt,dressing somewhat more formally than you think would be expected for the job.Be conservative and pay attention to details,such as shiny shoes,neat hair,etc.First impressions are very important.
Poor non-verbal communication.In addition to what you are saying,your non-verbal behavior is very important in an interview.Are you making eye contact?Are you listening attentively when the interviewer is speaking?Are you giving a firm handshake by the interviews?Are you nervous during the interview?Practice with a friend or in front of a mirror to assess these factors.
Poor attitude.Self-centered behavior(.i.e.a”what’s in it for me”attitude)is very poorly received by interviewers.Ask yourself what you can contribute to the company?What skills and
experience would you bring to the job?
Failure to ask questions.Employers will assess your interest in the company and the position you ask.Proper research before the interview will help ensure that the questions you ask are intelligent ones.
Being disorganized.Make sure you arrive at the company a few minutes early so that you have time to get calm and check your appearance.Arriving late is simply unacceptable,so plan for the unexpected.Always bring an extra copy of your resume and reference to an interview.
Over-or under-answering questions.For most interview questions a “Yes”or “No”answer is not appropriate.Positive more details for an employer and cite examples from personal experience wherever possible.Do not,however,talk endlessly and feel that you have to keep speaking if there’s silence.When you have said what you want to say ,stop talking.If you do not understand a Question,.seek clear explanation before responding.
Failure to send a thank-you note or card following the interview.Take the time to send the thank-you card,which can make an important impact on an employer.Not only does it show your sincere interest in the position,but it also helps make you different from other interview candidates.

D
A husband-and-wife team from California reached the Pacific Ocean after a 4,900- mile-cross
-country walk, becoming the first to backpack the American Discovery Trail in one continuous
walk. 
Marcia and Ken powers, of Pleasanton, started the travel across 13 states, through 14 national parks and 16 national forests on Feb. 27 from Cape Henlopen in Delaware. Nearly eight months later, the excited couple walked through water into the Pacific Ocean at Point Reyes, a day ahead of time. 
“We are a little sad that a great adventure is over. It was a fantastic adventure. And now we go home and just do housework. It's really sad.” Marcia, who said she's in her 50s, and her 60-year-old husband traversed cities, desert, mountains and farmland before reaching the Pacifics alone with arms around each other' s backpacks.
They overcame deep snow in the East, a quicksand in Utah, close lightning strikes in the Mid- west and strong desert sandstorms in the West while averaging 22 miles a day and taking only four days off. But they enjoyed the French history of St. Louis' the beauty of the Colorado Rockies and the kindness of strangers they met along the way. They particularly remember two brothers ---- a
doctor and dentist-------who put them up in their homes, after terrible days, and a motorcyclist who gave them water after they failed to find any on Utah's lonely Wah Wah Desert.
“Americans are truly warm-hearted and wonderful people.” Marcia Powers said. “We got to meet people that we would never meet in our daily living at home. We got to touch it with our feet and hands and smell all its scents and hear its wildlife. It' s an amazing country,” she added.
68. Which of the following about couple's walk is TRUE?
A. The walk covered more than 13 states.
B. The walk lasted about half a year.
C. The walk didn't meet any desert.
D. The walk might end before October 27.
69. The underlined word “traversed” in the third paragraph means “____________.”
A. enjoy                       B. move across, through or over
C. overcome                    D. look at
70. According to the text, we can infer that during the walk the couple __________.
A. were treated warm-heartedly by the local people
B. never stopped to have a rest
C. were ever caught in a heavy rain and became ill
D. felt the quicksand in Utah was very interesting
71. The couple went through many places except ____________.
A. big rivers       B. desert      C. hills       D. fields

第二節(jié):信息匹配(共5小題;每小題2分,滿分10分)
請閱讀下列應(yīng)用文和相關(guān)信息,并按照要求匹配信息。
首先,請閱讀下列關(guān)于名著簡寫本的介紹:
A. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (C.S. Lewis)
Stepping into an old wardrobe, four English schoolchildren find themselves in the magical world of Narnia. On this delightful land, they find friends among the many talking creatures.
The children soon discover, however, that Narnia is ruled by the White Witch. Edmund, one of the children, falls under her power. Who can free Narnia? Only Aslan, the great and noble lion. He alone knows the Deeper Magic. But the children themselves must help fight the battle against the White Witch and those who serve her.
B. The Old Man and the Sea (Ernest Hemingway)
Santiago, an old Cuban fisherman, hasn’t caught any fish in more than 80 days. Sailing far out from land, the old man hooks an enormous fish. That begins an agonizing three?day battle. First he struggles against the great fish. Then he must fight off the sharks that circle the little boat and threaten to eat his fish. Exhausted and bleeding, the old man arrives back at shore. But his fish, his beautiful fish . . .
Hemingway won the Nobel Prize for this superb story of strength and courage, of victory and regret.
C. A Wrinkle in Time (Madeleine Lingle)
Meg’s father, a U.S. government scientist, has been missing for many months. He had been experimenting with time travel when he mysteriously disappeared.
Now Meg, her little brother Charles Wallace and her friend Calvin will try to rescue him. But first they must outwit the forces of evil they encounter on their journey through time and space. Can they find Meg’s father before it’s too late?
This novel is more than just a science?fiction adventure. It’s an exploration of the nature of our universe.
D. The Pearl (John Steinbeck)
One day Kino, a poor Mexican pearl diver, finds a magnificent pearl. With it he dreams of buying a better life, new clothes and schooling for his son. Instead, it brings only evil. His wife pleads with him to get rid of it. "No," says Kino. "I will have my chance. I am a man." But when he kills a man who is trying to steal the pearl, Kino and his wife must run for their lives.
This tale of dreams, justice and the power of greed is told simply and beautifully.
E. The Long Winter (Laura Ingalls Wilder)
It’s winter, 1880—1881, on America’s northern prairies. Mr. and Mrs. Ingalls and their four girls stay near the kitchen stove to keep warm. Heavy snowstorms cut them off even from neighbors. With the trains stopped, no supplies can reach the town. Food and fuel are running out. Day after day the girls must grind wheat for bread and twist hay to burn. At times they nearly lose the battle to keep their spirits up.
This story provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of early American settlers.
F. Jane Eyre (Charlotte Brontë)
Jane Eyre ranks as one of the greatest and most perennially popular works of English fiction. Although the poor but plucky heroine is outwardly of plain appearance, she possesses an indomitable spirit, a sharp wit and great courage. She is forced to battle against the exigencies of a cruel guardian, a harsh employer and a rigid social order. All of which circumscribe her life and position when she becomes governess to the daughter of the mysterious, sardonic and attractive Mr Rochester.
However, there is great kindness and warmth in this epic love story, which is set against the magnificent backdrop of the Yorkshire moors.
