On this graduation ceremony I'd like to offer my sincere congratulations to you all. Well done, everyone. I've got three tips to share with you, hoping to make a direction for the future life after your graduation from college.
Tip one: There are few things that get you over your own crop more than working hard. Do you want to know how to work hard? It's not difficult. All you have to do is to listen. Listen to what's going on around you. Learn how the project you are working on fits into the big picture. Learn how you fit in. When you truly understand how the big picture works, you start being able to expect changes and change your behavior.
Tip two: Be kind to everyone. I can't stress this enough, but it remains true. Kindness will pay back invaluable rewards. Don't you believe me? I'm sure that at some point you'll have the opportunity to work for someone who used to be your assistant, or hire someone who used to be your boss.
Tip three: Stay interested. Is there anything you can't stop thinking about? Keep doing it. Interest is the better part of success. You will be great at the things that you are willing to do.
Remember that you have time to figure out what you want to do. You have time to try again. Just have courage to do it so long as you're willing to work hard.

Whom is the speech aimed at?

A.To teach the listeners how to work hard.
B.To enable the listeners to get better jobs.
C.To prepare the listeners for their future life.
D.To encourage the listeners to seize opportunities.

Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.

Passage One
Graffiti is a common feature of most Western cities. The word "graffiti" was from the Greek word "graphein" which only meant writing. These days, however, the word means drawing or writing on the walls of buildings, or on public transportation, such as trains and buses.
Graffiti, as a form of expression, was born in New York during the 1960s and 1970s. At that time, a new modern culture about city life appeared. Graffiti was a written form of expression of that life. Later, it was mixed with a musical form called hip-hop that was another expression of the city life.
At first, graffiti artists used pens. But then, with the development of graffiti, they became experienced. They turned to using cans of spray paint. Spray paint allowed them to cover a greater area. And it also allowed them to work quickly, which was an advantage when they worked in neighborhoods where graffiti wasn't welcome.
At the present time, different people have different ideas about graffiti. Some people say it makes the cities dirty. It isn't allowed by many local governments in the United States. The governments spend more than a million dollars a year cleaning graffiti. The money, they say, could be better spent on health or education. Other people think that it is a form of art. In fact, the works of some famous graffiti artists can be found in museums, galleries, and art books.

1. Which is the meaning of the underlined word "graffiti" nowadays?

A.书法
B.剪纸
C.涂鸦
D.油画

A B C D

2. Why did graffiti artists use cans of spray paint?

A.Because they could work quickly.
B.Because they could spend less money.

3. How many forms of expression of city life are mentioned in this passage?

A.One.
B.Two.
C.Three.
D.Four.

Passage Two
Outside our hotel in Ho Chi Ming City, Vietnam, a seemingly ancient woman waited beside the door with her hand outstretched. Every day I put my hand in hers as our eyes met. She never failed to return my smile, my grasp, and my greeting.
On the last day of our visit, I found myself alone on a busy corner across the street from our hotel. Bicycles and motorbikes rushed in front of me. As I hesitated on the sidewalk, I felt a hand on my elbow and looked down to see the smile of my small beggar friend looking up at me. She nodded her head toward the street, indicating that she would take me across. Together, we moved slowly into the chaos.
Then we moved on toward the sidewalk, where she pulled my face down to hers, kissed me on both cheeks, and then left, still smiling and waving back to me.
Traveling in poorer nations, I have witnessed a variety of ways to deal with beggars. The most common response of tourists faced with the poverty-stricken is to ignore them and focus their eyes elsewhere. I have seen people push away an outstretched hand in angry annoyance. A few may drop a few coins into the hand in a hurry, hoping that other ragged pursuers won't immediately appear on the scene.
For many reasons, giving money is not the best response to an outstretched hand. Many world travelers have discovered that the greatest gift they can give is their time and respect. Everyone needs recognition, to be seen as worthy of being known, to feel appreciated and loved. And I believe that everyone is worthy and worth knowing.

1. The woman beggar helped the author go across the busy street because ______.

A.the author gave her material assistance
B.the author treated her kindly and friendly

[解析] 细节理解题。由第四段中的“to ignore them and focus their eyes elsewhere”，“push away an outstretched hand in angry annoyance”, “drop a few coins into the hand in a hurry”可知，A、B、C三项文中均已提到，故选D项。

4. According to the author, the most important things beggars really need are ______.

A.mercy and pity

Passage Three
"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me."
You probably heard those lines in grammar school, but do you really agree that harsh (严厉的) or negative words do not harm us? Words have power. Surely we all have had our feelings hurt by something someone said.
We may not say words to hurt others, but the way we interpret them and how we say them may cause great harm. Here's an example:
An ancient king dreamed all his teeth had fallen out. He sent for a wise man to explain his dream to him: the dream means that all your relatives will die and you will be left alone!
The king was very angry and threw the interpreter into prison. He then sent for another interpreter who said, "Congratulations! King! You will live many more years. In fact, you will survive all your relatives. Long Live the King!"
Both interpreters gave the same interpretation, but there was a huge difference in the way they said it.
Our speech must be understood by those who hear our words, but the way we say things and the intention behind them have as much power as the words themselves. Words can cause anger or appreciation. Which would you rather receive?
People who say harsh and negative things may not mean to harm, but have you ever known anyone who is a naysayer? They often look at the dark sides of things. They always see the glass as half empty rather than half full. How do you feel when you are around this type of person? Remember words have power. Use them wisely.

1. The author mentions the story of the ancient king to show that ______.

A.one dream sometimes has different explanations
B.good words can bring good luck to people
C.people should be careful when talking to a king
D.different ways of saying things have different effects

A B C D

2. The underlined word "naysayer" in the last paragraph refers to a person who always ______.

A.has a negative attitude
B.likes to be praised
C.talks big
D.likes to repeat what others say

A B C D

[解析] 词义推测题。由划线单词后一句“They often look at the dark sides of things.”可知naysayer应该指对事情总是抱有负面看法的人。故选A项。

3. According to the text, how can people understand each other better?

A.By sharing different life experiences.
B.By accepting different habits.
C.By properly using words.
D.By recognizing different values.

A B C D

[解析] 细节理解题。由倒数第二段第一、二句可知为了让听我们说话的人更好地理解我们的话，应该注意说话的方式，注意话语背后的力量，也就是适当地使用词汇。故选C项。

4. The author wrote the last paragraph to ______.

A.show how the dark sides of things affect people
B.advise people to see and say things positively
C.show how harsh and negative words hurt people
D.advise people to stay away from negative people

A B C D

[解析] 目的意图题。由最后一段第一句“People who say harsh and negative things may not mean to harm...?”以及最后两句“Remember words have power. Use them wisely.”可知此处应该是建议人们在说话时用词要积极、正面。故选B项。

5. The passage mainly talks about ______.

A.the power of words
B.the cruelty of the king
C.how to understand others
D.how to build good relationships

A B C D

[解析] 主旨大意题。根据全文大意以及本文多次提到了“Words have power.”可知本文主要谈论了话语的力量。故选A项。

Passage Four
By adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can greatly increase their children's language development. It is surprising but true. How parents talk to their children makes a big difference in the children's language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the child's language skills increase.
A study was done with 30 three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the children participated in the experimental study; the other half acted as the control group. In the experimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes-or-no questions. For example, the parent should ask, "What is the doggie doing?" rather than "Is the doggie running away?" The parents in the experimental group were also instructed in how to help children find answers, how to suggest alternative possibilities and how to praise correct answers.
At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ in measures of language development, but at the end of one month, the children in the experimental group showed 5.5 months ahead of the control group on a test of verbal expression and vocabulary. Nine months later, the children in the experimental group still showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.

1. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A.Children who talk a lot are more intelligent.
B.Parents who listen to their children can teach them more.
C.Active children should read more and be given more attention.
D.Verbal ability can easily be developed with proper methods.

A B C D

[解析] 推理判断题。根据第一段第一句“By adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can greatly increase their children's language development.”可以得出语言能力可以通过适当的方法来提高。D项为正确答案。

2. What does "It" in Paragraph 1 can most probably be replaced by?

A.Parents' increasing children's language development.
B.Reading techniques being simple.
C.Parents' reading to children.
D.Children's intelligence development.

A B C D

[解析] 推理判断题。根据上文，It指父母能提高孩子的语言能力。

3. According to the author, which of the following questions is the best type to ask children about?

A.Do you see the elephant?
B.Is the elephant in the cage?
C.What animals do you like?
D.Shall we go to the zoo?

A B C D

[解析] 推理判断题。根据第二段中“In the experimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes-or-no questions.”可知家长提出的最好的问题应该是：“What animals do you like?”故C项为正确答案。

4. The difference between the control group and the experimental group was ______.

A.the training that parents received

C.the books that were read

Part Ⅵ Writing

1. Directions: For this part, you are to write a composition on the topic Should We Help Strangers? You should write no less than 120 words and base your composition on the Chinese outline given below.

Should We Help Strangers?

1．有人认为帮助陌生人是一种美德；
2．有人却认为帮助陌生人会给自己带来麻烦和危险；
3．你的观点。

Should We Help Strangers?

Helping strangers has always been considered as a treasured virtue of mankind. We need help from others throughout our life, and meanwhile we become happy helping others.
However, some people are cautious when it comes to helping strangers. They say that helping others involves risks of getting hurt or cheated. Moreover, there are times when we have physical limitations. For instance, we can't swim but a girl is drowning, what should we do? If we are blind to that limitation, giving a hand would conversely take our lives.
In my opinion, we should still offer help to those needed strangers. Meanwhile, we should beware of getting cheated and use our common sense to tell whether the strangers are real needed people or just professional cheats. Detecting anything unusual, we should defend ourselves or turn to the police.
