What sounds or impressions are you making on the people around you? Think about it. Your words, phrases, even your message may soon be forgotten but believe me, good or   1  , your melody music.
An odd choice of phrase? Not really. The dictionary   2  melody? as a succession of sounds, and what is life other than the combining and blending of a succession of movements and sounds.
Just as a musical composition affects the moods and emotions of people who hear it, so too does the way you live your  3  .
Think of your life as a   4  sheet of manuscript paper. Only the rhythm is there ------it is    5  to you to create the harmony. Naturally you will want your composition to be a   6  , a chart buster' even a Symphony - something to be remembered with pleasure.
So where to   7  ? YOU MUST BEGIN WITH YOURSELF. Have the right   8  , enjoy life, - and most importantly, be optimistic about the future.
Be really   9  in other people. Make a conscience effort to bring peace and happiness into other people's lives.
  10  situations that generate excessive ambition, envy, anger
and pride. They are all   11  of peace and will play ruin with your harmony.
  12  has been said that if these emotions or feelings were forgotten, the world would live in permanent peace. Well, to banish（消除） them from the world is probably aiming a bit high but it shouldn't be too   13  to rid them from your own life.
Develop features such as smart, social, and sensitivity. These attributes are invaluable in enhancing not only your own life but the lives of those around you.
Everything you do has an   14  on those around you. The way you move, whether you   15  or frown. You are capable of making someone's day bright or miserable.
Take time to   16   other people. If there are too many discords & not enough harmony in their lives,   17  them to have a brighter outlook.
Throughout the world most people are striving for   18  .
From the family unit   19  around the dinner table to world leaders at the conference table, the name of the game is the pursuit of peace.
So, let us all play our part in composing the rhythm of life by consciously choosing peace and harmony in our daily lives to   20  a harmonious Universe.

1-20 CACAD BDACC ABCDA BABCA
本文說明的是快樂交際，幸福生活。完成本文要結(jié)合生活實際。
1. C無論好壞，前面是good，后面自然是Bad，壞，而不是wrong:錯,harmful：有害。
2. A 字典對這個詞的定義是動聽的聲音，define：定義，think:認為，regard：認為，act：扮演。
3. C live one’s life 是固定結(jié)構(gòu)，意思是：過……的生活。
4. A 稿紙自然是空白的，也就是blank, used：舊的，full:滿的，deserted:拋棄的，這些不合適。
5. D你生活的曲調(diào)就取決于你的行為。取決于，就是be up to sb.，準備好（ready）,決定（decide）,可能（possible），不合適宜
6. B 實際上你想讓自己表現(xiàn)得很好。表現(xiàn)的好，就是成功的人士，故success，而不是失敗（failure），模特（model）,和一團糟（mess）.
7. D 既然出現(xiàn)了問題，要解決問題，從哪開始（begin: 開始）呢？，do:行動，做，write：寫， make：制作，明顯不行。
8. A 后面無論是享受，還是樂觀，都是對生活的態(tài)度：attitude，類型：type，情緒:mood，觀點:opinion,都不合適。
9. C 有交往就得對別人感興趣（interested），而不是熱烈的：enthusiastic,太強烈了，mild: 溫和的，太柔了，cautious：小心的，就更不合適了。
10. C 后面的驕傲，嫉妒等等都是負面情緒，當然得避免（avoid）了,而不是choose：選擇，discover：發(fā)現(xiàn)，design：設(shè)計。
11. A 上述的那些不良情緒都是你和人相處的大敵（enemy），而不是朋友（friends），條件（condition），更不是幫助（help）。
12. B據(jù)說如果人類消除了這些情緒，世界就會永遠和平。It be said that +主語從句：據(jù)說，別的無法構(gòu)成這樣的句型。
13. C避免這些情緒應該不會太難（difficult），而不是easy ：容易，willing：自愿，terrifying：令人害怕。
14. D你做的每件事都會在周圍人有影響（have an effect on）,而不是effort：努力，mark：記號，damage：損害。
15. A是喜笑顏開（smile）還是怒氣沖沖？都會影響到別人是開心還是難過，cry：哭喊，shout：大叫，talk：談話，顯得不行。
16. B 花些時間去傾聽（listen to ），而不是攻擊（attack），改變（change），采訪（interview）。
17. A如果他們的生活中有太多的矛盾和別扭，鼓勵（encourage）他們用樂觀的態(tài)度去面對，根本不是打�。╠efeat），培訓（train），停止（stop）。
18. B 全世界大多數(shù)人都在為和平（peace）而奮斗，而不是為了戰(zhàn)爭（war），爭斗（fight），談判（talk）。
19. C 無論是一家人圍坐（seated）在飯桌前，還是國家級領(lǐng)導人圍坐著會議桌前，他們的目的是一樣的——追求和平，總不能被安排（arranged），被達到（reached），被裝上（loaded）吧。
20. A所以，讓我們每個人拿和平，和諧為基調(diào)來開創(chuàng)（create）我們的生活樂章吧！像發(fā)明（invent），尋找（seek），保護（protect）等等明顯不行。

I recently turned fifty,which is young for a tree,midlife for an elephant,and ancient for a sportsman.Fifty is a nice number for the states in the US or for a national speed limit,but it is not a number that I was prepared to have hung on me.Fifty is supposed to be my father’s age,but now I am stuck with this number and everything it means.
A few days ago,a friend tried to cheer me up by saying,“Fifty is what forty used to be.”He had made an inspirational point.Am I over the hill?People keep telling me that the hill has been moved,and I keep telling them that the high-jump bar has dropped from the six feet I once easily cleared to the four feet that is impossible for me now.
“You’re not getting older,you’re getting better,”says Dr.Joyce Brothers.This,however,is the kind of doctor who inspires a second opinion.
And so,as I approach the day when I cannot even jump over the tennis net,I am moved to share some thoughts on aging with you.I am moved to show how aging feels to me physically and mentally.Getting older,of course,is obviously a better change than the one that brings you eulogies(悼詞).In fact,a poet named Robert Browning considered it the best change of all:
Grow old along with me!
The best is yet to be.
Whether or not Browning was right,most of my first fifty years have been golden ones,so I will settle for what is ahead being as good as what has gone by.I find myself moving toward what is ahead with a curious blend(混合)of both fighting and accepting my aging,hoping that the philosopher(哲學家)was right when he said.“Old is always fifteen years from now.”
小題1:The author seems to tell us in Paragraph 1 that         .
A．time alone will tell
B．time goes by quickly
C．time will show what is right
D．time makes one forget the past
小題2:When the author turned fifty,people around him         .
A．tried to comfort him
B．got inspirations from him
C．were friendlier with him
D．found him more talkative
小題3:The author considers his fifty years of life         .
A．peacefulB．ordinaryC．satisfactoryD．regretful
小題4:We can infer from the passage that         .
A．the old should lead a simple life
B．the old should face the fact of aging
C．the old should take more exercise
D．the old should fill themselves with curiosity

In 1879, a group of explorers made an incredible find. They discovered paintings of remarkable beauty on the walls of a cave in Spain. Some scientists believed that these paintings were created by early humans from the Stone Age, between ten and thirty thousand years ago. Other scientists and the public did not believe the claim, but over the years, it was proven correct. Our ancestors had incredible artistic talents.
Most of the cave art that has been discovered has been found in Spain and France. A smaller number of such caves are located in Italy, Portugal, Russia, and other countries. Scientists believe that many more caves will be discovered in the coming years, and are concentrating their efforts on Africa and the area between Europe and Asia. These two regions of the world were, populated first by humans.
Cave art was carved or painted on the walls and roofs of caves, usually near the entrance. The entrance area was probably chosen to take advantage of daylight and to allow many people to view the paintings. In some cases, the art appears much deeper in caves and requires artificial light. Evidence suggests that the artists used torches or shallow bowls in which animal fat was burned.
9.What was the response of general public to the discovery of cave art made by Stone Age people?
A. They believed it at first.
B. They did not believe it.
C. They thought it was beautiful.
D. They ignored it.
10.According to the passage, what can we conclude about animal fat?
A. It does not burn.
B. Stone Age artists used it to preserve their paintings.
C. It can be burned to produce light.
D. Stone Age artists mixed it with their food.
11.. Where do scientists expect to find more cave paintings?
A. In Central and South America.
B. In Spain and France.
C. In the places where there are caves with large openings.
D. In the regions of the world first populated by humans.
12.Where would this passage be most likely to appear?
A. In a textbook about early human history.
B. In a textbook about modern art.
C. In a dictionary.
D. In an encyclopedia entry about caves.

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（Ａ、Ｂ、Ｃ、Ｄ）中，選出最佳選項。
As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.   
Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.
The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities, others lose heart at the first sign of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "flight or fight" and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Since we can't remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.
60．People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because _____.
A．they regard working as their greatest enjoyment
B．they believe that work is superior to relaxation
C．they are traveling fast all the time
D．they are becoming busier with their work than ever before
61．According to the author, the most important character for a good manager is his _____.
A．strong will to hold out stress
B．knowing the art of relaxation
C．high sense of responsibility
D．having control over performance
62．Which of the following statements is TRUE, according to the passage?
A．We can find quite a few ways to avoid stress.
B．Stress is always harmful to people's health
C．It's easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work.
D．Different people can bear different amount of stress.
63．In the last sentence of the passage, "do so" refers to _____.
A．"expose ourselves to stress"
B．"find ways to deal with stress"
C．"remove stress from our lives"
D．"establish links between diseases and stress"

I don’t like my parents. They always tell me I should do this, and should not do that. It sometimes makes me angry,” said Liu Dan, a middle school student in Beijing. Do you have the same problem? Perhaps your parents had the same problem when they were your age long ago. Why does it seem that some parents are not so friendly in their children’s eyes?
One of the biggest things is when someone becomes a parent, he or she likes worrying things. They worry about everything about you from the time you were born. They do a lot for you, though something would make you angry, because they care about you and worry about you. They worry about your choice of friends, the food you eat, your work at school, how much sleep you get, etc. All these things are part of your life. They want you to grow up healthily and happily.
So how can you make things easier on yourself? It’s easier than you think. Just make sure your parents know what you’re doing. Get them to know your friends. Call them if you stay somewhere else later than usual. Say sorry to them when you make mistakes. Take responsibility for what you have done. Talk about your ideas with them. They may talk about theirs with you.
Most of all, try to think about why your parents do this or do that. They are still practicing being parents and need help you can give them. Someday, when you become a parent, they may be able to help you how to get on with your children.
小題1:The writer of the passage doesn’t agree that _______.
A．parents want you to grow up healthily
B．parents don’t want you to make some bad friends

A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms, though my teacher emphasized(強調(diào)) the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.
One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be astonished. Gently shaking his head, shrugging his shoulders, he said, “You don’t say!” “You don’t say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not an appropriate topic(適當?shù)脑掝}). “Well, I’d better change the topic.” So I said to him. “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was magnificent.” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide. “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it.” Soon I was interrupted again by his words：“You don’t say!” I couldn’t help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?” “Well, I didn’t request you to do so, ” he answered, greatly surprised. I said, “Didn’t you say’ you don’t say？” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, ‘You don’t say’ actually means ‘really!’ It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don’t pay attention to English idioms.” Only then did I know I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions. Remember: what the English teachers said is always right to us students.

For years Tom Anderson’s life was withered up(枯萎) by the memory of his part in a fraternity(友愛，互助會) adventure that resulted in the death of one of his classmates. He and his wife separated after six years of marriage. Then the news about Tom changed. His wife Betty came back; he earned a fine position. One day he told me what had changed his life. “I used to think, ‘Nothing can undo what I have done.’ The thought of my guilt would stop me in the middle of a smile or a handshake. It put a wall between my wife and me.”
“Then I had an unexpected visit from the person I was most afraid to see — the mother of the college classmate who died. ‘Years ago’, she said, ‘I found it in my heart, through prayer, to forgive you. Betty forgave you. So did your friends and employers.’ She paused, and then said seriously, ‘You are the one person who hasn’t forgiven Tom Anderson. Who do you think you are to stand out against the people of this town and the Lord Almighty?’ I looked into her eyes and found there a kind of permission to be the person I might have been if her boy had lived. For the first time in my adult life I felt worthy to love and be loved.”
It is only through forgiveness of our mistakes that we gain the freedom to learn from experience. But forgiving our shortcomings doesn’t mean denying that they exist. On the contrary, it means facing them honestly, realistically.
Can a person be all-forgiving and still be human? A scientist I know spent four years as a slave laborer in Germany. His parents were killed by Nazi street bullies; his younger sister and older brother were sent to the gas chambers. This is a man who has every reason to hate. Yet he is filled with a love of life that he conveys to everyone who knows him. He explained it to me the other day: “In the beginning I was filled with hatred. Then I realized that in hating I had become my own enemy. Unless you forgive, you cannot love. And without love, life has no meaning.” Forgiveness is truly the saving grace.
67. Tom Anderson and his wife separated after six years of marriage probably because ______.
A. he had killed one of his classmates
B. he had cared more for his adventure than for his wife
C. his wife looked down upon his poor position
D. his life had been made in a great mess by his deep guilt
68. The key reason for which Tom’s life changed back to normal may be that ______.
A. his wife Betty came back to him
B. the mother of his college classmate asked Betty to forgive him for his guilt
C. he eventually learned to face his guilt honestly, realistically and forgave himself
D. he earned a fine position and finally made a lot of money
69. The underlined part in the second paragraph means that ______.
A. the mother of my college classmate permitted me to be a real person
B. even my college classmate would permit me to be what I used to be
C. I wouldn’t be a person unless my college classmate permitted me to
D. I might have been a successful person if my college classmate had lived
70. The best title for this passage could be ______.
A. Forgiveness: the saving grace                                          B. Hatred: unrealistic way of living
C. Love: a meaningful worthy life                                         D. Guilt: unforgivable mistake
