（2010??江蘇模擬）

I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.

I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.

So here’s what I wanted to tell you today：Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion, the bigger pay-check…

Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure, it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.

It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, and our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, and something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.

I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.

By telling them this：Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.

It can be inferred from the passage that_____.

   A. the author is a success in personal life

   B. the author didn’t try her best to work well

   C. the author spent all her time caring for her children

   D. the author likes traveling very much

How did the author form her view of life?

   A. Through social experience.           B. By learning from her friends  

C. Through an unfortunate experience     D. From her children and husband.

By the underlined sentence “ It is so easy to exist instead of to live” in the fifth paragraph, the author really means that people tend to_____.

   A. make a living rather than live a real life

   B. work rather than enjoy life

   C. waste a lot in life

   D. forget the most important lessons in life

What’s the author’s attitude towards work?

   A. Do it well to serve others.

   B. Earn enough money to make life better.

   C. Try your best to get higher position and pay.

   D. Don’t let it affect your real life.

第三部分：閱讀理解（共兩節(jié)，滿分40分）
第一節(jié)：選擇題（共15小題，每小題２分，共30分）
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳答案，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
A month after Hurricane Katrina, I returned home in New Orleans．There lay my house, reduced to waist-high ruins, smelly and dirty．
Before the trip, I’d had my car fixed．When the office employee of the garage was writing up the bill, she noticed my Louisiana license plate．“You from New Orleans?” she asked．I said I was, “No charge,” she said, and firmly shook her head when I reached for my wallet．The next day I went for a haircut, and the same thing happened．
As my wife was studying in Florida, we decided to move there and tried to find a rental house that we could afford while also paying off a mortgage（抵押貸款）on our ruined house．We looked at many places, but none was satisfactory．We’d begun to accept that we’d have to live in extremely reduced circumstances for a while, when I got a very curious e-mail from a James Kennedy in California．He’d read some pieces I’d written about our sufferings for Slate, the online magazine, and wanted to give us (“no conditions attached”) a new house across the lake from New Orleans．
It sounded too good to be true, but I replied, thanking him for his exceptional generosity, that we had no plans to go back．Then a poet at the University of Florida offered to let his house to me while he went to England on his one-year paid leave．The rent was rather reasonable．I mentioned the poet’s offer to James Kennedy, and the next day he sent a check covering our entire rent for eight months．
Throughout this painful experience, the kindness of strangers has done much to bring back my faith in humanity．It’s almost worth losing your worldly possessions to be reminded that people are really nice when given half a chance．
56．What do we know about James Kennedy?
A．He was a writer of an online magazine．     
B．He was a poet at the University of Florida．
C．He offered the author a new house free of charge．    
D．He learned about the author’s sufferings via e-mail．
57．It can be inferred from the text that ______．
A．the author’s family was in financial difficulty
B．rents were comparatively reasonable despite the disaster
C．houses were difficult to find in the hurricane-stricken area
D．the mortgage on the ruined house was paid off by the bank
58．The author learned from his experience that ______．
A．worldly possessions can be given up when necessary
B．generosity should be encouraged in some cases
C．people benefit from their sad stories                                 
D．human beings are kind after all

Cole Bettles had been rejected by a number of universities when he received an e-mail from the University of California, San Diego, last month, congratulating him on his admission and inviting him to tour the campus. His mother booked a hotel in San Diego, and the 18-year-old Ojai high school senior arranged for his grandfather, uncle and other family members to meet them at the campus for lunch during the Saturday tour.

“They were like ‘Oh my God, that’s so awesome （棒的）’， ” Bettles said. Right before he got in bed, he checked his e-mail one last time and found another message saying the school had made a mistake and his application had been denied.

The error was discovered almost immediately by her staff, who sent an apology within hours.

“It was really thrilling for a few hours; now he’s crushed （壓垮）， ” said Cole’s mother, Tracy Bettles. “It’s really tough on them.”

The announcements by the NASA，in the form of several Web site postings and a video posted on YouTube，were in response to worries that the world will end on Dec．21，2012．

The doomsday(末日) rumour reached a high point with the release of the new movie “2012”，directed by Roland Emmerich．In the movie，Yellowstone blows up, showering the continent with black ash．Tidal waves wash over the Himalayas，where the governments of the planet have secretly built a ship which a select 400，000 people can ride out the storm．There are hundreds of hooks devoted to 2012，and millions of Web sites，depending on what combination of“2012”and“doomsday”you type into Google．All of it，astronomers say, is nonsense．“Most of what's claimed for 2012 relies on wishful thinking and ignorance of astronomy．”Ed Krupp， an expert on ancient astronomy，wrote in an article in the November issue of Sky＆Telescope．

“I get angry at the way people are being influenced and frightened to make money,” Morrison said．“There is no right to frighten children to make a buck．”suggested David Morrison，an astronomer at the NASA Ames Research Center in Moffett Field，Calif．He said he had been getting about 20 letters and e—mail messages a day from people as far away as India scared out of their wits．Morrison said he did not blame the movie for all this，as much as many other supporters of the Mayan prediction．But then，he said，“my doctorate is in astronomy，not psychology．”

In an e—mail exchange, Krupp said：“We are always uncertain about the future，and we always consume representations of it．We are always attracted by the romance of the ancient past．”A NASA spokesman，Dwayne Brown，said the agency did not comment on movies，leaving that to movie critics．But when it comes to science, Brown said, “we felt it was careful to provide a resource．”

If you want to worry，most scientists say，you should think about global climate change or nuclear war．But if ancient prophecies(預言)get you going，here are some things Morrison and the others think you should know．

64．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Dr．Morrison blamed the Movie“2011”for the panic it aroused in the public around the world．

B．People who watched the movie were seared and firmly believed that the end of the world was coming．

C．In terms of science it was better to provide evidence and theory at the same time．

D．Dr．Morrison thought it was not right to make money by frightening people．

65．It can be inferred from the text that         ．

A．astronomers think that doomsday is likely to happen in the near future

B．the reason why the NASA posted web site postings was to make people interested in astronomy

C．scientists think we shouldn't worry about doomsday but show concern about environment protection

D．most astronomers agree that the world is not ending—at least anytime soon

66．Which of the following would be the best title?

A．A New Movie“2012”             B．Is Doomsday Coming?

C．End-of-the-World Stories          D．Astronomers Comment on Movies

67．What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?

A．Evidence that the Mayans thought something special would happen in 2012．

B．What will really happen in 2012．

C．The reason why there is no need to worry about doomsday．
