I cheated on a final exam in college. It was spring semester of my junior year, the early ?70s, at

41 was then Rider College. I was between a B and a C in “Introd uction to 42 ”, and the exam would determine my final 43 .

Music was 44 my strongest subject. I had never studied an instrument and had had little 45

to classical music. But as a secondary education major, I needed two fine arts electives. I had chosen music as one of them. At two credits, how 46 could it be?

I thought I could hold my own on the test 47 just before it began, when the professor announced that he would 48 a series of musical passages on a tape recorder for 15 minutes. We were to name the 49 we heard in each selection.

We were 50 in that classroom like penguins on a chunk of floating sea 51 , so it was an effort to keep my eyes 52 on my own desk. I think the music was a Mozart symphony, 53 by Tchaikovsky and a piece by John Philip Sousa. During one selection, my 54 turned to the paper of the student on my right. I had 55 the instrument to be a violin; my neighbor had written viola(中提琴). He had to be 56 ---almost anyone would know more about music than I did. I changed my

57 .

A few days later, looking at the answers to the exam and the final grades posted on the pro fessor?s office 58 , I understood the meaning of poetic justice. The instrument had been a violin. That one answer had 59 my exam grade to a C, which 60 a C for the course.

41. A. it B. what C. where D. that

42. A. Science B. Literature C. Poetry D. Music

43. A. grade B. interest C. career D. choice

44. A. always B. never C. almost D. sometimes

45. A. exposure B. education C. explanation D. relation

46. A. interesting B. easy C. hard D. fantastic

47. A. after B. until C. while D. since

48. A. produce B. perform C. make D. play

49. A. composer B. instrument C. title D. singer

50. A. crowded B. separated C. thrown D. invited

51. A. wood B. floor C. ice D. boat

52. A. closed B. focused C. stuck D. extended

53. A. something B. anything C. nothing D. everything

54. A. thoughts B. ears C. eyes D. hands

55. A. hoped B. accepted C. realized D. guessed

56. A. wrong B. right C. crazy D. perfect

57. A. seat B. subject C. answer D. paper

58. A. door B. cupboard C. floor D. desk

59. A. improved B. suffered C. given D. dropped

60. A. declared B. said C. meant D. gained

第三部分：阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题，每题2分，满分50分）

第一节阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Parents, our first teachers, play a highly significant role in our lives．However, doesn?t it seem that many of us come to have conflicts with them when we start high school? We're less likely to listen to them and take their suggestions---we even rebel against them.

Why? It may be the so-called “generation gap”. A generation gap appears when we begin to feel our parents are ignoring us, don?t understand us, and we fee l we can no longer share our feelings with

them.

The key reason is our desire for independence. In senior high school, we start to want to take responsibility for our own lives and make our own decisions. But parents resist this. They still want to control us and try to force us to do things they think we should do. Debate and discussion often come to nothing. Gradually, we talk with them less, and keep our feelings locked up inside.

Zhang Xiaoyun, 16, of Ningbo, Zhejiang, has talked less and less with her mother since she started senior high school. “She believes studies should be my priority, not my inner world,” Zhang said. “Each day, she asks me the same old questions like, …How was your last exam?? or …Have you made any progress in physics??” To Zhang, these questions are annoying and so she always tries to ignore them and answers perfunctorily. “Sometimes, when I get upset, I quarrel with her. After, she comes to apologize and comfort me. But I know, she doesn?t completely understand me,” Zhang said. Now, a home that was once full of laughter has fallen into gloom and silence.

The generation gap can be harmful. Because of the lack of communication, our parents no longer know what we are thinking about. There are quarrels, even over trivial things. When that happens, we may not be able to concentrate on our studies. Some of us even become afraid to go home after school---a very serious situation for the whole family.

61. Which of the following is NOT included in the passage?

A. The causes of generation gap.

B. The effects of generation gap.

C. One example of generation gap.

D. Ways of narrowing generation gap.

62. Which of the following is one reason for the generation gap according to the passage?

A. Modern society changing very fast.

B. Parents having unrealistic hopes of their children.

C. Parents and kids not understanding and respecting each other.

D. Y oung people liking to escape from the control of their parents.

63. Which of the following words has the closest meaning to the underlined word “perfunctorily”?

A. attentively

B. indifferently (冷淡地)

C. flatteringly (奉承地)

D. seriously

64. In the view of the author, ________.

A. parents should allow their children more freedom

B. parents and children should not stay together

C. the younger generation should value the older generation

D. acad emic records are more important than one?s inner world

B

Life is difficult.

This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult---once we truly understand and accept it---then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.

Most do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.

What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness, or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an

endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.

Y et, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure. When 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 solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, those things that hurt, instruct. It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.

65. From the passage, it can be inferred that ______.

A. everybody has problems

B. we become stronger by meeting and solving the problems of life

C. life is difficult because our problems bring us pain

D. people like to complain about their problems

66. The writer probably used just one short sentence in the first paragraph to ______.

A. save space

B. persuade readers

C. make readers laugh

D. get readers? attention

67. The main idea of Paragraph 3 is that ______.

A. most people feel life is easy

B. the writer feels life is easy

C. the writer likes to complain about his problems

D. most people complain about how hard their lives are

68. According to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to______.

A. encourage them to learn

B. teach them to fear the pain of solving the problem

C. help them learn to deal with pain

D. teach them how to respect from problems

69. The saying from Benjamin Franklin “Those things that hurt, instruct” suggests that ______.

A. we do not learn from experience

B. we do not learn when we are in pain

C. pain teaches us important lessons

D. pain cannot be avoided

C

Many trees in the Brackham area were brought down in the terrible storms that March. The town itself lost two great lime trees from the former market square. The disappearance of such striking features had changed the appearance of the town centre entirely, to the annoyance of its more conservative inhabitants(居民).

Among the annoyed, under more normal circumstances, would have been Chief Inspector Douglas Pelham, head of the local police force. But at the height of that week's storm, when the wind brought down even the mature walnut tree in his garden, Pelham had in fact been in no fit state to notice. A large and healthy man, he had for the first time in his life been seriously ill with an attack of bronchitis.

When he first complained of an aching head and tightness in his chest, his wife, Molly, had tried to persuade him to go to the doctor. Convinced that the police force could not do without him, he had, as usual, ignored her and attempted to carry on working. Predictably, though he wouldn't have listened to anyone who tried to tell him so, this had the effect of fogging his memory and shortening his temper.

It was only when his colleague, Sergeant Lloyd, took the initiative and drove him to the doctor's door that he finally gave in. By that time, he didn't have the strength left to argue with her. In no time at all, she was taking him along to the chemist's to get his medicine and then home to his unsurprised wife who sent him straight to bed.

When Molly told him, on the Thursday morning, that the walnut tree had been brought down during the night, Pelham hadn?t been able to take it in. On Thursday evening, he had asked weakly about damage to the house, groaned(含糊不清地说) thankfully when he heard there was none, and pulled the sheets over his head.

It wasn't until Saturday, when the medicine took effect, his temperature dropped and he got up, that he realized with a shock that the loss of the walnut tree had made a permanent difference to the appearance of the living-room. The Pelhams' large house stood in a sizeable garden. It had not come cheap, but even so Pelham had no regrets about buying it. The leafy garden had created an impression of privacy. Now, though, the storm had changed his outlook.

Previously, the view from the living-room had featured the handsome walnut tree. This had not darkened the room because there was also a window on the opposite wall, but it had provided interesting patterns of light and shade that hid the true state of the worn furniture that the family had brought with them from their previous house.

With the tree gone, the room seemed cruelly bright, its worn furnishings exposed in all their shabbiness. And the view from the window didn?t bear looking at. The tall house next door, previously hidden by the tree, was now there, dominating the outlook with its unattractive purple bricks and external pipes. It seemed to have a great many upstairs windows, all of them watching the Pelhams' every movement.

“Doesn?t it look terrible?” Pelham whispered to his wife.

But Molly, s tanding in the doorway, sounded more pleased than dismayed. “That's what I?ve been telling you ever since we came here. We have to buy a new sofa, whatever it costs.”

70. Why were some people in Brackham annoyed after the storm?

A. No market could be held.

B. The police had done little to help.

C. The town looked different.

D. Fallen trees had not been removed.

71. In the third paragraph, what do we learn about Chief Inspector Pelham?s general attitude to his

work?

A. He finds it extremely annoying.

B. Не is sure that he plays an important role.

C. Не considers the systems are not clear enough.

D. He does not trust the decisions made by his superiors.

72. What aspect of the Pelhams? furniture does “shabbiness” in paragraph 8 describe?

A. its condition.

B. its colour.

C. its position.

D. its design.

73. As a result of the storm, the Pelhams? living-room _____.

A. was pleasantly lighter

B. felt less private

C. had a better view

D. was in need of repair

74. Why did Molly sound pleased by her husband?s comment?

A. It proved that he was well again.

B. She agreed about the tree.

C. She thought he meant the sofa.

D. It was what she expected him to say.

D

Though I have traveled in hundreds of trains, few unusual things have ev er happened to me. But one day in a train something did happen. I do not mean that I was hurt: no one was hurt.

I do my work in a hot country far away from England. Every September I go there to do my business, and every July I come back to England to have a rest. So every September I go to Paris and take a train from the great French city to Mendova, and at Mendova I catch my ship.

There is one very fast train from Paris to Mendova, and it suits me well. It goes as far as Endoran, but it stops at Mendova for a few minutes to let travelers get out or in. It is called The Flying Bluebird. It reaches Mendova at seven minutes past nine in the morning, and it is never late.

A ship leaves Mendova at half past eleven, and so you will understand that The Flying Bluebird suits me very well. I always travel by it, and I have nearly two and a half hours at Mendova to go from the station to the ship. That is more than enough time.

Well, one September night, I took my place in The Flying Bluebird as usual. The train leaves Paris at nine o?clock every night, and I was in my place soon after half past eight. There were three or four people there with me, but very soon a lot of others got into the train. When no more people could sit down, they began to stand up near us and also in the corridor（走廊）. In a short time the corridor was full too, and it was impossible for any more travelers to get into the train.

I could see a lot of other people outside the corridor windows, but they could not get in, and the train left Paris without them. The m an sitting next to me started to ask all kinds of questions: “Where do you work? How long does it take you to get there? Are you married? How many children do you have? How much money do they pay you every year? How much do you have in the bank? How much d o you spend every month?”

He asked questions for about twenty minutes but I did not give him any clear answers, and at last he stopped and began to read the paper.

I usually sleep quite well in the train, but this time I slept only a little. There were too many people, and there were too many things: small bags, large bags, coats, hats, boxes, newspapers and food. As usual, we got angry about the window. Most people wanted it shut, and two of us wanted it open. But that always happens. It was shut all night, as usual.

When I awoke in the early morning I felt hot and dirty, and glad that the journey was reaching its end. At seven minutes past nine The Flying Bluebird stopped. We were at Mendova, and I stood up thankfully. I took my two suitcases, held one in each hand, and tried to move towards the door into the corridor. In order to get out of the train, I had to pass down the corridor to the door at the far end. There was no other way out.

I could not even into the corridor. There was a suitcase on the floor by my feet, and three men were standing in my way. I felt a touch of fear. I had to get out, you see; I had to catch my ship, which left at half past eleven. And the train did not stop again until it reached Endoran, two hundred miles away.

“I must get out!” I cried. Everyone there understood me, but no one could move.

At last I was able to put one foot over the suitcase on the floor, and I nearly reached the door into the corridor. But then, very slowly, the train began to move. It was taking me away!

“Stop!” I cried. “I want to get out!” But no one outside the train could hear me, and the people inside did not care much. The train moved a little faster. What could I do? I was not even in the corridor.

Fear made me think quickly. In front of my eyes, just, above the door, was a notice that told everyone how to stop the train. I had to pull an iron thing near the notice. I did not waste time. I

pulled it.

Well, a noise started above our heads. That was to show everyone that there was something wrong. It was not a small sound. Possibly the men in my ship two miles away could hear it. Then the train stopped.

No one likes to stop a train if there is no need. But I had to catch my ship. That was the only thought in my mind: to get out and catch my ship.
