John was so busy with his work that he couldn't go back home. When he passed by a flower shop in the evening, an idea came to his mind, “I'll send Mum some roses.”While John was picking his flowers, a young man went inside. “How many roses can I get for only five dollars, madam?” He asked. The assistant was trying to tell him roses were as expensive as forty dollars a dozen(一打). Maybe he would be happy with carnations(康乃馨).  “No, I have to have red roses,” he said. “My mum was badly ill last year and I didn't get to spend much time with her. Now I want to get something special, it has to be roses, as rose is her favourite.” After hearing it, John said he would pay the rest of the money for the young man. Moved by both of them, the assistant said, “Well, lovely young men, thirty dollars a dozen, only for you.” Taking the roses, the young man almost jumped into the air and ran out of the shop. It was well worth twentyfive dollars that John paid to see the exciting moment. Then John paid for his dozen of roses and told the assistant to send them to his mother. As he walked out, he felt nice. Suddenly he saw the young man crossing the street and going into a park. But soon John realized it was not a park but a cemetery(墓地). Crying, the young man carefully put down the roses, “Mum, oh, Mum, why didn't I tell you how much I loved you? God, please help me find my mum and tell her I love her.”  Seeing this, John turned and quickly walked to the shop. He would take the flowers home himself.21. The assistant tried to ask the young man to buy carnations instead of roses because_. A. carnations were nicer than roses             B. roses were saved for John C. roses were more expensive than carnations   D. carnations were special flowers for Mother's Day22. The young man cried at the cemetery because he _. A. had spent all his money on the roses              B. wasn't able to tell his mother he loved her himself C. felt sorry to ask John to pay for his flowers      D. hadn't got enough money for his sick mother23. At last John changed his mind and went home because he wanted to _. A. tell his mother he loved her himself               B. ask his mother for more money C. tell his mother the young man's story              D.  ask his mother if she liked roses24. The writer writes the passage in order to tell us _. A. Buy roses for your mother when she is ill         B. Let your mother know how much you love her C. Work hard to get more money for your mother     D. Send your mother flowers on Mother's Day    BLife is difficultIt is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept itThen life is no longer difficultMost do not fully see this truthInstead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easyIt seems to them that difficulties represent（代表）a special kind of suffering especially on them or else on their families, their class, or even their nation What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful oneProblems , depending on their nature(性质,本性), cause us sadness，or loneliness or regret or anger or fearThese are uncomfortable feelings，often as painful as any kind of physical painAnd since life causes an endless series of problems，life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy Yet，it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaningProblems are the serious test that tells us success from failureWhen we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems，just as in school we set problems for our children to solveIt is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learnAs Benjamin Franklin said,“ Those things that hurt , instruct(指导)”It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems25. The main idea of Paragraph 2 is that_.Amost people feel life is easy               Bthe writer feels life is easyCthe writer likes to complain about his problems   Dmost people complain about how hard their lives are26According to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to_.Aencourage them to learn              Bteach them to face the pain of solving the problemChelp them learn to deal with pain       Dteach them how to respect the problems27. From the passage，it can be inferred(暗示) that _.Aeverybody has problemsBwe become stronger by meeting and solving the problems of lifeClife is difficult because our problems bring us painDpeople like to complain about their problems28The saying from Benjamin Franklin “Those things that hurt, instruct” suggests that_.Awe do not learn from experience    Bwe do not learn when we are in pain Cpain teaches us important lessons   Dpain cannot be avoidedCDo successful businessmen need an office? Increasingly the answer seems to be no. Chris Ward, author of the book Out of Office explains how President Barack Obamas first inauguration (就职) speech was written by 27-year-old Jon Favreau sitting in Starbucks (星巴克); how Richard Tait, creator of Cranium, started the board game in a coffee shop; how Michael Acton Smith invented the childrens virtual world Moshi Monsters in his local Caffè Nero; and how JK Rowling, the novelist behind Harry Potter, believes a café is the best place to write. It is a convincing view, and for basic start-ups it makes much more sense to work from home and public spaces such as cafés than renting an expensive office. Offices are hard to find, costly to decorate and involve much tiring administration. Moreover, by staying independent you avoid the misery（痛苦） of a daily commute(往返上下班), which for many is the worst part of a job. Thanks to mobile communications, WiFi and cloud storage, together with the increasing heavy-duty equipment such as photocopiers, fax machines and desktop PCs, the traditional office is becoming redundant for many sorts of organizations and workers. Of course, factory managers, surgeons, chefs and industrial chemists are still tied to special locations. But many of us from software engineers and copywriters to architects and fashion designers can operate almost anywhere. That freedom, and a willingness to adapt, can make ones career more enjoyable and, sometimes, more efficient. 29. The second paragraph mainly wants to tell us_. A. Obama didnt write his inauguration speech by himselfw w w .B. People dont have to work in an officeC. A café is the best place to writeD. Many writers like to write in a coffee shop30. The underlined word “redundant” in the last paragraph most probably mean_. A. uncomfortable B.reasonable C. unnecessary D. popular31. What can we infer from the text? A. Many people hate commuting daily. B. The tradition office will no longer exist.C. Working in public places will reduce efficiency.D. Chefs can work anywhere.DBlind tasting is a very strange activity. Contrary to what many imagine, it has nothing to do with blindfolds. It means tasting a wine without seeing the label and it can give shocking surprises. I tasted seven champagnes(香槟) blind with a group of professionals recently. There was a shock when they discovered the wine most of them preferred carried a label which they regarded as their least favorite. That sort of result is especially common with champagne, the most image-driven(视觉导向) rather than quality-driven wine of all. But it happens all the time when wine is tasted blind. Because Im interested in how wines really taste instead of how I think they should, I taste wine blind as often as I can, especially when assessing(评价) similar young wines. But blind tasting when you know absolutely nothing about the wine in front of you is something completely different. The most difficult Master of Wine exams include three sessions during which you have a dozen glasses in front of you and nothing more helpful than a printed exam paper asking you to identify (鉴定) each wine as closely as possible, and assess its quality. Now that the MW is behind me, I taste wine completely blind only very rarely, and never in public. So my blind tastings these days are round the dinner table with good friends and once a year when I act as a judge, with Hugh Johnson, in the Oxford v Cambridge wine-tasting competition. This is the most extraordinary match, always held before the Boat Race but taken just as seriously nowadays. This years taste-off took place at the end of last month, as usual in the Oxford and Cambridge Club on Pall Mall in London. 32. Which of the following is true about Blind tasting?A. Blind tasting is the professional way to identify a wine.B. Blind tasting usually has the right result.C. Blind tasting means tasting a wine with ones eyes covered.D. Blind tasting is tasting a wine without seeing the label.33. Why did the professionals get shocked at the result of their blind tasting? A. They got all the results correctly.B. They didnt recognize their favorite at all.C. The writer made no mistakes.D. Champagnes can not be tasted blind.34. Which of the following interests the writer most? A. Assessing young wines. B. Master of wine exams. C. Tasting wine blind in public. D. Oxford v Cambridge wine-tasting competition.35. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. The Boat Race is taken more seriously than the wine race.B. The Oxford v Cambridge wine-tasting competition is held annually.C. I didnt act as a judge last year.D. Pall Mall is chosen as the competition place for the first time.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。We all see and hear about extraordinary people around us and wonder why cant we be more like them? Its not the big things that make someone extraordinary. Here are some small things that extraordinary people do every day: 36 .Just because youre the boss, doesnt mean you are right every time. Learn to back up your decisions with reason. Use logic(逻辑) to explain things, not authority. By doing this your decisions might invite criticism, but you will also get an opportunity to improve.They are generous with compliments（称赞）. Remember the time, when you worked really hard but got nothing in return. Not even a thank- you. 37 .So every chance you get to praise someone, do it. A simple, “That was some great work, keep it up,” can go a long way in making the employees feel great about themselves. 38 .They are helpful. Never hesitate to help someone. Its fairly simple but it goes a long way. Dont be non-committal（不负责的）and say something vague（含糊）like, “Can I help you?” because they might just say, “No, Im good.” 39 .“I had the same problem with this coffee machine in the morning. I think I have figured a way to make it work.” Offer in a way that feels mutually beneficial（互利）.Theyre in charge of their emotions. Sometimes it is very important to stay silent. Especially when youre angry, you dont want to end up saying things you didnt really mean to. So they take their time to think back to what happened, and then come to a decision about how to deal with it. 40 .Never be too casual with words or actions.
