I looked around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady smiling at me. She said, “Hi, handsome. My name is Rose. Im 87. Can I give you a hug?” I laughed, “Of course you may!” and she gave me a giant squeeze. “Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?” I asked. She jokingly replied, “Im here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of children.” “No seriously,” I said. “I want to realize my dream!” she told me. Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and everyone liked to listen to this “time machine”. At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet and Ill never forget what she taught us. “There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are 19 and lie in bed for one full year and dont do one productive thing, you will turn 20. If I am 87 and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn 88. We have less time to live on. Anybody can grow older. That doesnt take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change. The elderly usually dont have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do.” At the years end, Rose finished the college degree she had dreamed about all those years. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over 2,000 students attended her funeral honoring the wonderful woman who taught us such an important message. 21 Rose was considered a “time machine” because she _.A. always followed a strict time schedule B. was never late for any of her classes C. always appeared in time whenever she was needed D. had lived a long and rich life22.

From the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2, we can learn that _.A. it is not polite to talk about a persons real age in publicB. going to college at a very old age is looked down uponC.

Wales, particularly South Wales, became a melting pot of European nationalities and cultures. At first workers from England, Ireland and the rural areas of Wales rushed into the coalfields of South Wales. By 1911, workers from Ireland, Italy and Spain had joined the industrial workforce there. Many of these newcomers were prepared to work for less pay. But during this period, workers, dissatisfied with regular pay cuts, poor safety, the growing trend of employers to pay workers with tokens (代币), which could only be spent in the company store, returned to the land. In 1891, the rural population of Wales was about 616,000 and by 1911 just over 649,000 people lived and worked in these areas. The rural population continues to grow slowly even today. People from richer parts of the UK, particularly southern England, are buying holiday or retirement homes in Wales. In some areas this has led to a shortage of affordable housing for local people. This, combined with the lack of employment prospects in rural Welsh communities, has started a new movement of people in search of jobs and homes into the towns and cities of Wales and to other parts of the UK and Europe. As so many Welsh people have migrated to other countries over the last 200 years, its really no surprise that many visitors come to see friends and relatives there were 229,000 visitors in 1998. These visitors strengthen their links to their land of origin and continue to support the Welsh economy. During the hot summer days, about 28% of the visitors visit the countryside and nearly 70% visit the seaside. 28 Why was South Wales so attractive to people in the early 20th century?A. Because its coal industry needed a large number of workersB. Because people could get the highest pay there. C. Because it was rich in many different kinds of culture D. Because people could buy holiday or retirement homes there. 29. From the last paragraph, we learn that most visitors come to Wales for the purpose of _. A. visiting their friends and relatives B. supporting the Welsh economy C. enjoying a cool and pleasant summer D. all of the above 30. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Wales, a land with a population on the moveB. Wales, a land with a promising past and future.C. Wales, the biggest melting pot of Europe. D. Tourism, the main economic source of Wales .31. What does the writer want to tell us in the second paragraph?A. Welsh workers couldnt get any pay for their work. B. The working conditions were terrible at this time.C. Many people got tired of city life at this time. D. The rural population of Wales didnt decline at this time DSome people are lucky enough to be born with a good sense of direction and even if they have only visited a place once, they will be able to find it again years later.I am one of those unfortunate people who have poor sense of direction and I may have visited a place time after time but I still get lost on my way there. When I was young I was so shy that I never dared ask complete strangers the way and so I used to wander round in circles and hope that by some chance I would get to the spot I was heading for.I am no longer too shy to ask people for direction, but I often receive replies that puzzle me. Often people do not like to admit that they didnt know their hometown and will insist on telling you the way, even if they do not know it; others, who are anxious to prove that they know their hometown very well, will give you a long list of directions which you can not possibly hope to remember, and still others do not seem to be able to tell between their left and their right and you find in the end that you are going in the opposite direction to that in which you should be going.If anyone ever asks me the way to somewhere, I always tell them I am a stranger to the town in order to avoid giving them wrong direction but even this can have embarrassing results.Once I was on my way to work when I was stopped by a man who asked me if I would direct him the way to the Sunlight Building. I gave my usual reply, but I had not walked on a few steps when I realized that he had asked for directions to my office building. However, at this point, I decide it was too late to turn back and search for him out of the crowd behind me as I was going to meet with someone at the office and I did not want to keep him waiting.Imagine my embarrassment when my secretary showed in the very man who had asked for directions of my office and his astonishment when he recognized me as the person he had asked.32. Who showed the right way to the interviewee according to the passage?A. A warm-hearted old lady did such a thing B. The writer did it for himself.C. The secretary did so. D. Someone we dont know.33. Why did the writer consider himself to be an unlucky dog?A. Because he always forget the way to homeB. Because of his poor sense of directionC. Because he did not have any friend. D. Because he used to be shy and dared not ask others the way.334. How did the visitor feel when he was showed into the very room?A. He felt astonished B. He felt embarrassed.C. He felt very sad. D. He felt strange35. What is the writer going to do when someone asks him for direction?A. He will direct the right way to the person willingly.B. He will give the very person long list of directionC. He will reply to it by the means of being a stranger to the townD. He is going to show the man an opposite direction. 第第二节：七选五（共5 个小题，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。If you have a teenager who is going to college, you may have concerns about their ability to do so in the particular career field they have chosen. 36 Here are four steps to help you assist your child in making a successful career plan.Identify Areas of InterestIf your teen has not yet selected a college major, ask about the kinds of careers he or she has thought about.
