wanted to teach.I wanted to be a writer.But when I arrived in London,they were short of teachers.My efforts at teaching were hopeless.When the bell finally rang,I rushed to the staff room,red with anger.The other teachers werent surprised.Thats 4B,the worst class in the school,one said.I feared our next meeting,but I couldnt give up.I needed the job,so I gave up formal lessons.Instead,I brought topics for class discussions.One of the liveliest talks was about the arguments they had with their parents.They paid attention and shared about their lives.I was very interested,so I had them write about themselves.Most wrote about families with little money and big problems.As time went on,their articles became a bridge between us.I admired their humor,toughness and insight(洞察力),and I thought they appreciated my interest in their lives.The musical My Fair Lady was playing in the West End,but they had never seen a live stage performance.I asked if theyd like to see the musical,but they thought I was joking.No teacher had ever suggested taking them out.A few weeks later,4B and I were sitting in a theater.They loved the music,the costumes and the characters.It was the highlight of their year,and they talked about it for days.Near the end of-the term,someone knocked on the door of the staff room.The two most rebellious(叛逆的)girls in 4B were there with flowers.I was proud to know I had touched their lives,and they had also touched mine.I enjoyed teaching and getting along with teenagers.When I returned to Australia several years later,I still wanted to be a writer.For the

Great Changes C Born at a dog kennel(养狗场)in Novosibirsk,Maru was sold to a family in the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk,800 km away,when she was only 5 months old.However,6 months later the kennel owner Alla Morozova received a call from the dogs owners informing her that they were allergic(过敏的)to animals and could no longer look after their pet.The contract said that in case the buyers no longer wanted a dog,they should inform Alla first,so she could make arrangements to get it back.She had someone get Maru and accompany her on a train ride back to Novosibirsk,but 200 km into the journey,something went wrong.The dog had a panic attack,so she was frightened,Alla told the Siberian Times.She had been brought by her owners,but then they disappeared somewhere.The noise of the train scared(惊吓)her,so she jumped on the compartment door,kicked the handle to open it,and jumped out of the train as it was getting close to the station in Achinsk,a city between Krasnoyarsk and Novosibirsk.After hearing the news,Alla called her former owners to tell them that Maru was all alone and scared.She asked them to help her look for the dog,but they refused.That angered me.They gave the dog away and the load fell off their shoulders,said Alla.But Alla wasnt about to give up on her dog.She posted messages about her online and gave out leaflets(传单)asking for information.Volunteers found her in an industrial zone,Alla said.The dog was very fatigued.She had walked and run for two and a half days.She was lame,and her paws were broken.Im sure that she was looking for her house.Dogs are very attached to people,Alla added.A friend of Allas recently drove Maru to her kennel in Novosibirsk,where she was reunited with her mother and father.She is now undergoing treatment to recover from the suffering of walking 200 km through the Siberian wilderness.28.What happened to Maru when she was 11 months old?A.She was sold to another family.B.She was allergic to her owners.C.She was given up by her owners.D.She was well looked after by her owners.29.Why did Maru jump out of the train?A.She was frightened by its noise.B.She was driven by the conductor.C.She was badly treated by her owners.D.She wanted to go back to her parents.30.The underlined word fatigued in Paragraph 3 probably means .A.worried B.excited C.interested D.tired 31.What did Alla think of Marus former owners?A.Merciless.B.Selfless.C.Stubborn.D.Responsible.D Working on a farm and taking care of crops can be hot,time-consuming and difficult.Engineers have long wanted to build robots to lighten the load.But it has proved a difficult task.Robots that walk or roll along the ground can step on the easily damaged plants heavily.And they have to stop working when rain turns fields muddy.Tarzan,however,could deal with some of those challenges.Jonathan Rogers is a robotics expert at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta.When it comes to a farm environment,he realized robots would face many problems.Many robots tend to get twisted(弯曲的)together or get stuck,he says.Whats more,he notes,Its very hard to leave them out for long periods without a human helping them.What if the robot could move above the crops?Jonathan Rogers says,The sloths(树懒)move from tree branch to tree branch to avoid having to walk around the forest floor.Then his team set out to design a robot that could swing hand to hand along wires hung above the field.He named their invention Tarzan after the jungle-swinging character in a movie.Tarzan is not the first swinging robot.Mark Spong,a robotics researcher at the University of Texas at Dallas notes that some teams have built robots that do gymnastics or copy mammals.But he says he admires Tarzan for its using swinging movement to save energy and the idea of building a wire structure to move around above crops.Rogers first predicted that Tarzan could help farmers monitor crops with sensors(传感器)and cameras.But he also said future robots might take water to a particularly thirsty plant or fertilize one that needs nutritional support.And adding a third hand could allow such a robot to harvest fruits and vegetables.Finally the robot could move off the farm and into the city,helping deal with the traffic and security.32.What worried the engineers when they built the farm robots?A.They took up too much space.B.They made the farming process slow.C.They had difficulty exploring in fields.D.They caused certain damage to crops.33.What does Jonathan Rogers think about most farm robots?A.They take much time to make.B.They get out of date more easily.C.They depend too much on people.D.They get used to the environment slowly.34.What attracts Mark Spong most about Tarzan?A.Its strong wings.B.Its low cost.C.Its creative design.D.Its powerful engine.35.How did Jonathan Rogers feel about Tarzans future?A.It could be found everywhere.B.It could be put into more practical uses.C.It could be used to do all the farm work.D.It could be popular with working people in cities.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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。When youre selling a product or service,you have two main methods to choose from.You need to decide whether you want to use the hard-sell(强行推销)method or a soft one.36 Lets take a look at the difference between the two to determine which one is right for your business.Nearly every good business employs the soft-sell(软推销)method in some way.With this method,a company can encourage a customer to buy a product or service without seeming too pushy(死缠硬磨的).37 The soft-sell method often uses promotions like money-back guarantees and free-trial periods.By promising your customers that theyll be happy with their purchase(购买),you can persuade them to give you a chance.38 That can help your financial goals on track.39 Choosing to sell your products or services this way will help people know that your business is reliable and easy to work with.Sometimes good word of mouth can make all the difference in how many sales you make.The soft-sell method is generally the preferred one for most businesses,but that doesnt mean its perfect.40 If your competitors,employing a hard-sell method,their aggression could force customers into buying from them instead of you.A hard-sell method is typically a more aggressive way of making a sale.While some people will be turned off by a pushy method,there will always be those who give in to the pressure.So its important to take that into consideration if you plan to rely only on the soft-sell method.A.Both methods have advantages and disadvantages.B.The soft-sell method will also help you win good fame.C.A salesman tries to sell something using indirect methods.D.Sometimes a soft method might be easily beaten by a pushy one.E.Soft sell and hard sell are known to scholars and businessmen.F.When you keep your promise,you earn their trust and gain repeat buyers.G.The idea shows the good of making a purchase while putting customers at ease.第三部分语言知识运用(共两节，满分 45分)第一节 完形填空(共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和 D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。An 18-year-old student at Stanford
