Ⅱ. Cloze Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the ONE answer that best fits into the passage. How often do you let other people's nonsense change your mood? Do you let a bad driver, impolite waiter, rude boss, or an insensitive employee 1 your day? One day I was in a taxi and we headed 2 the airport. We were driving in the 3 lane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his 4 and slid sideways, and at the very last moment our car stopped and 5 the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car looked around and started 6 at us. My taxi driver just 7 and waved at the guy. And I mean he was really 8 . So I asked, "Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!" This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call "The Law of the Garbage Truck". He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of 9 , full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage 10 up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on 11 . Don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Believe me. You'll be 12 . Don't take their garbage and 13 it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets. Life's too short to wake up in the morning with 14 . The mark of your success is how quickly you can refocus on what's 15 in your life. Roy Baumeister, a psychology researcher from Florida State University, found in his extensive research that you 16 bad things more often than good things in your life. You store the bad memories more easily, and you 17 them more frequently. Therefore, love the people who treat you right and ignore the ones who don't. Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you 18 it! When you follow "The Law of the Garbage Truck", you take back control of your life. You make room for the good by 19 go of the bad. Have a marvelous, garbage-flee Day! The seeds you plant today 20 the harvest you will reap tomorrow.

Ⅲ. Reading Comprehension Directions: In this section, there are 3 passages. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the best answer.
A In his first public comment about the massive safety crisis surrounding his company, the President and CEO of Toyota apologized to his customers for causing them so much worry. "I am deeply sorry." said Akio Toyoda in his brief interview with the Japanese network NHK as he left his hotel in Davos, Switzerland. After the interview he was seen learning in a black Audi. Toyoda, had been attending the economic conference with other corporation and government leaders this week, while his deputies struggled to quell a consumer rebellion triggered by the recall of nine million cars worldwide. In the interview, Toyoda said he could not answer questions because the company "was still investigating." He said he hoped to provide an explanation to Toyota customers soon. "Truly we think of our customers as a priority and we guarantee their safety," he said, according to a translation. Referring to the near collapse of the company's once strong reputation for safety and quality, Toyoda said, "I would like for the people to trust us." Toyoda is the grandson of the car company's founder and has publicly criticized the company's drive for profits in the last decade. The Wall Street Journal reported Toyoda would place full page newspaper ads in 25 cities Sunday and Monday to explain how it plans to fix the most-recent defect found in eight of its models involving a sticky gas pedal. The company is awaiting federal government approval of a redesigned acceleration pedal that is being produced by its supplier, CTS, and has already been shipped to some of its factories, according to CTS. The company ordered a halt to sales and production of the eight models with the flowed pedal on Tuesday, following a recall of millions of cars a few days earlier. The recall, which spread to Europe and China, is now estimated to involve at least nine million cars and trucks.
1. We can learn from the text that Toyoda ______.
A.was struggling to solve the consumer rebellion by himself
B.provided an explanation to customers before investigation
C.has recently praised his employees for profit-driving policy
D.expected customers to trust the reputation for safety and quality
A.CTS is the supplier of the accelerator pedal for Toyota.
B.Wall Street Journal has branches in 25 cities worldwide.
C.The founder of Toyoda Company is Akio Toyoda's father.
D.The recall reaches less than nine million Toyota vehicles.
A B C D
A
[解析] 细节题。根据第九段“...a redesigned acceleration pedal that is being produced by its supplier, CTS...”可知A项“CTS为丰田汽车提供油门踏板”为正确答案。根据第八段可知B项错误。根据第七段中的grandson可知C项错误。根据最后一段的at least可知D项错误。
3. What would be the best title of the text? ______
A.Toyoda CEO Apologizes Deeply to His Customers
B.An Economic Conference in Davos, Switzerland
C.The Recall of Audi Spreads to Europe and China
D.Wall Street Journal Comes Out on Sunday and Monday
B The common cold is the world's most widespread illness, which is plagues (疫病) that flesh receives. The most widespread fallacy of all is that colds caused by cold. They are not. They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person. You catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever. But they do not. And in isolated arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes. During the First World War soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches, cold and wet, showed no increased tendency to catch colds. In the Second World War prisoners at the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp, naked and starving, were astonished to find that they seldom had colds. At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in Experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time. After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in drafty room. Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose. If, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter? Despite the most pains-taking research, no one has yet found the answer. One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on. No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and pain suppressors (止痛片) such as aspirin, but all they do is relieve the symptoms.
1. The author cites the Eskimos not suffering from common colds forever to indicate ______.
A.common colds are more severe than other plagues
B.viruses passing from person to person are the factors causing common colds
C.common colds are full of myth
D.the idea that cold leads to colds
A B C D
B
[解析] 细节题。文章第二段说到,对于感冒,最普遍的谬论是感冒是由寒冷引起的,后面说感冒是由人与人之间传播的病毒导致的,“If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever.”可推断作者的意思是,如果寒冷可以造成感冒,那一直忍受寒冷的爱斯基摩人一定会一直都在感冒。即用这个例子验证寒冷不会引起感冒,感冒是由病毒的传播所导致。故选B。
2. Which of the following does not agree with the passage? ______
A.The Eskimos do not suffer from colds all the time.
B.Colds are not caused by cold.
C.People suffer from colds just because they like to stay indoors.
D.A person may catch a cold by touching someone who already has one.
C According to sociologists, there are several different ways in which a person may become recognized as the leader of a social group. In the family, traditional cultural patterns confer leadership on one or both of the parents. In other cases, such as friendship groups, one or more persons may gradually emerge as leaders, although there is no formal process of selection. In larger groups, leaders are usually chosen formally through election or recruitment. Although leaders are often thought to be people with unusual personal ability, decades of research have failed to produce consistent evidence that there is any category of "natural leaders". It seems that there is no set of personal qualities that all leaders have in common; rather, virtually any person may be recognized as a leader if the person has qualities that meet the needs of that particular group. Research suggests that there are typically two different leadership roles that are held by different individuals. Instrumental leadership is leadership that emphasizes the completion of tasks by a social group. Group members look to instrumental leaders to "get things done". Expressive leadership, on the other hand, is leadership that emphasizes the collective well-beings of a social group's members. Expressive leaders are less concerned with the overall goals of the group than with providing emotional support to group members and attempting to minimize tension and conflict among them. Instrumental leaders are likely to have a rather secondary relationship to other group members. They give others tasks and may discipline group members who inhibit attainment of the group's goals. Expressive leaders cultivate a more personal or primary relationship to others in the group. They offer sympathy when someone experiences difficulties and try to resolve issues that threaten to divide the group. As the differences in these two roles suggest, expressive leaders generally receive more personal affection from group members; instrumental leaders, if they are successful in promoting group goals, may enjoy a more distant respect.
1. What does the passage mainly discuss? ______
A.The problems faced by leaders.
B.How leadership differs in small and large groups.
2. Which of the following statements about leadership can be inferred from Paragraph 2? ______
A.A person who is an effective leader of a particular group may not be an effective leader in another group.
B.Few people succeed in sharing a leadership role with another person.
C.A person can best learn how to be an effective leader by studying research on leadership.
D.Most people desire to be leaders but can produce little evidence of their qualifications.
A B C D
A
[解析] 推断题。短文第二段指出“It seems that there is no set of personal qualities that all leaders have in common”,即似乎并不是所有的领导者都有同样的个人素质。由此可推断出某一个团队的优秀领导可能并不适合另外的团队。故选项A正确。
3. In mentioning "natural leaders", the author is making the point that ______.
A.few people qualify as "natural leaders"
B.there is no proof that "natural leaders" exist
C."natural leaders" are easily accepted by the members of a group
D."natural leaders" share a similar set of characteristics
A B C D
B
[解析] 细节题。由题干可定位至第二段“decades of research have failed to produce consistent evidence that there is any category of 'natural leaders'”,即近几十年的研究发现并没有哪一类人是“天生的领导”。故选项B正确。
第二部分 主观题
一、书面表达 (共15分)
1. Directions: In this part, you are to write a composition with Wealth and Happiness as its title. Your composition should have a length of 120 words or so. Please write it down on the Answer Sheet.
[范文]
Wealth and Happiness
Everyone wants to be wealthy. Having great wealth symbolizes a person's success and capability. Many people try to make money at all costs. They claim that wealth can bring everything they want. In my opinion, people cannot do anything without money, but money is not everything. What money will bring you depends on your personal belief and goal in your life. If you are kind enough to help others, especially the poor, then money is a good thing to you. With it, you can do much more for the benefit of people and your country, and it will bring you happiness as well. If you use money to buy large apartments and luxury cars to keep up with others, or to pursue your materialistic enjoyment, you'll never get the true happiness and even lose some happiness you once owned. In a word, money is a double-edged sword. If you have enough money, spend it helping more people. Only in this way can money be the source of your happiness.
