1、学习必备欢迎下载上海市复兴高级中学2014 学年度第一学期期中考试(A) when I was in college, a man named Henry worked as a custodian(看门人 ) in our student union building. White-haired, with a Pennsylvania Dutch accent, Henry could usually be seen _21_ a baseball cap, a T-shirt and a pair of jeans. He was the custodian, and he was th

2、e most respected and most well-known person in the building. Everyone loved Henry, and it was because of all the implicit ways he expressed his love for everyone around him. Henry didn t have to say “ I love you ” . He lived his love. Henry was always excited _22_ he met someone new, and he wanted t

3、o know everything about them. He felt it was important to do things for people he valued. And Henry seemed to value everone he met. He brought in articles or cartoons for certain people,went out of his way to introduce people to each other, _23_ (keep) dozens of names and birthdays in his wallet so

4、that he could send cards, and helped students keep in touch with graduates who _24_ (write) to him. He even assisted students who didn t have enough moeney to buy their books. Henty taught me-and many others he suported -how to live life to the fullest. Not by skydiving or exploring some foreign cou

5、ntries, but by appreciating where you are in life and _25_ (value) others around you. The funny things is that despite _26_ he did and taught us, Henry truly believed that he was the lucky one-that he was the one who was gaining so much by getting to know us. But all of us who remember Henry know th

6、at we were the ones who were truly blessed. We will never forget the man who taught us that best way to say” I love you”often has little _27_ (do) with the word. (B) Mrs. Jones was very fond of singing. She had a very good voice, except that some of her high notes tended to sound like a gate which s

7、omeone had forgotten to oil. Mrs. Jones was very conscious of this weakness, and took every opportunity she _28_find to practice these high notes. As she lived in a small house, _29_ she could not practice without disturbing the rest of the family, she usually went for long walks along the country r

8、oads whenever she had time, and practiced her high notes there. Whenever she heard a car or a person _30_ (come) along the road, she stopped and waited until she could no longer _31_（hear）before she started practicing again, because she was a shy person, and because she was sensitive about those hig

9、h notes. One afternoon, however, a fast open car came behind her so silently _32_ she did not hear it until it was only a few yards away from her. She _33_(sing) some of her _34_(high) and most difficult notes at the time. As the car passed her, she saw_35_ anxious expression suddenly come over its

10、drivers face. He put his brakes on violently, and as soon as the car stopped, he jumped out and began to examine all his tyros carefully. Mrs. Jones dared not tell him _36_ the noise he had heard had really been, so he got back 精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 1 页，共 7 页学习必备欢迎下载into his

Section B A. investments B. enough C. unconditional D. degree E. loyalty F. back G. related H. doubly I. commitment J. promoted K. reduce Although many companies offer tuition repayment, most companies only repay employees for classes t

12、hat are relevant to their position. This is a very limiting policy. A company that repays employees for all college credit courses whether job _37_ or not offers a service not only to the employees, but to the entire company. One good reason for giving employees _38_ tuition repayment is that it sho

13、ws the company s commitment to its employees. In today s economy, where job security is a thing of the past and employees feel more and more expendable, it is important for a company demonstrate to its employees that it cares. The best way to do this is with concrete _39_ in them. In turn, this comm

14、itment to the betterment of company employees will create greater employee _40_. A company that puts out funds to pay for the education of its employees will get its money _41_ by having employees stay with the company longer. It will _42_ employee turnover, because even employees who don t take adv

15、antage of the tuition repayment program will be more loyal to their company just knowing that their company cares _43_ to pay for their education. Most importantly, the company that has an unrestricted tuition repayment program will have higher quality employees. Although these companies do indeed r

16、un the risk of losing money on employees who go on to another job in a different company as soon as they get their _44_, more often than not, the employee will stay with the company.And even if employees do leave after graduation, it generally takes several years to complete any degree program. Thus

17、, even if the employee leaves upon graduating, throughout those years, the employer will have a more sophisticated, more intelligent, and therefore more valuable and productive employee. And, if the employee stays, that education will _45_ benefit the company: Not only is the employee more educated,

18、 but now that employee can be _46_ so the company doesnt have to fill a high-level vacancy from the outside. Open positions can be filled by people who already know the company well. Though unconditional tuition repayment requires a significant investment on the employers part, it is perhaps one of

19、the wisest investments a company can make. Reading Close: Another person s enthusiasm was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved.That person was my stepmother. I was nine years old when she enterd our home in rural Virginia. My father_47_me to her with these words:“I would like you to

20、 meet the fellow who is_48_ for being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no _49_ than tomorrow morning. ”My stepmother walked over to me, _50_ my head slightly upward,and looked me right in the eye.Then she looked at my father and replied, “ You are wrong.This

22、 a bad boy . My stepmother changed all that. She changed many things.She _53_ my father to go to a dental school,from which he graduated with honors.She moved our family into the county seat,where my fathers career could be more successful and my brother and I could be better_54_. . When I turned fo

23、urteen,she bought me a secondhand typewriter and told me that she believed that I could become a writer.I knew her ernthusiasm,I_55 it had alreadly improved our lives.I accepted her _56_ and began to write for local newspapers.I was doing the same kind of_57_that great day I went to interview Andrew

24、 Carnegie and received the task which became my life s work later.I wasn t the only beneficiary (受益者 ).My father became the _58_ man in town.My brother and stepbrothers became a physician,a dentist,a lawyer,and a college president.

Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for the duty. I would be going to a small village near

But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me. Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that ha

In contrast, the rural communities tend to be slowmoving and conservative. For many years, Australia was said to have ridden on the

41、sheeps back, a reference to wool being the countrys main moneyearner. However, the wool industry is no longer dominant. Much of Australias relatively sound economy is now achieved from natural coal and wheat, and by being the largest diamond producer in the world. Newer industries such as tourism an

On the whole, Australia is a society without hierarchies (等级制度 ), an attitude generally held to stem from its prisoner beginnings. Yet, contrary to widespread belief
