through the park today, i met a friend i hadnt seen for ages. she stared at me curiously. “you have kept this umbrella for years; its old and out of date. i wonder why you keep it and take it wherever you go.” i smiled, “it means a great deal to me.” i simply gave her my shortest answer. honestly speaking, i, either, could not understand the reason why i kept it.then all of a sudden, fallen leaves darkened my eyes with a strong wind. i grabbed the umbrella instinctively. the rain poured down. thanks to my umbrella, i didnt get wet at all.“why have i kept it for so long?” i asked myself, staring at my umbrella. i couldnt remember when and where i bought it, for im always tired and lazy to answer questions. it could protect me from the heavy rain, i told myself eventually. looking at the people rushing through the street, i felt safe. this might be another reason.it is always so. we know a thunderstorm comes unexpectedly and goes without a warning. the sky cleared up. the sun shone brightly. just as usual, i seized the umbrella with my left hand. still theres water dropping down. i walked among the noisy crowd and listened to what they were murmuring in their heart. “today i will ask for a rise, or ill leave this company.” good luck to you, i smiled to him. “ill manage to make you live forever.” a little boy held a pet dog close to him. “shell be all right, because she is blessed.” i heard angels singing in this city.the moment my fingertips touched the umbrella, i felt its dry, and its warm. soon it became hot. i held it up to avoid harmful sunshine. do i need a reason to explain why? maybe i should think about it. i need my umbrella when it is sunny as well as when it is rainy.21.which of the following words best describes the author?a. watchful.b.

standard in the village is quite lowb. the tourist facilities along the way are quite goodc. revealing clothes are appropriate in the hot weatherd. giving local children small gifts is strongly recommendeddmy students often tell me they dont have “enough time” to do all their schoolwork. my reply is often brief you have as much time as the president. i usually carry on a bit about there being 24 hours per day for everyone, and suggest that “not enough time” is not an acceptable explanation of not getting something done.once in graduate school, i tried to justify myself to one of my professors by saying that i was working. his answer to me was, “thats irrelevant. whats important is the quality of your work.” since then i have had time to reflect on the “hard worker” dodge(伎倆), and i have come to some conclusions all relevant to the issue of how much time we have.if you look at the matter analytically, you can identify two parts of the problem. there is, of course, the matter of “time”, which we can think of as fixed. then there is the issue of “work” during that time, which can vary in intensity. but, as my professor suggested, its not diligence but the quality of the product that is important.that led me to a new idea, the quality of work. that concept is perhaps best explained by a sign i once saw on the wall in someones office dont work harder but work smarter! theres a lot of sense in that idea.if you cant get more time, and few of us can, the only solution is to improve the quality of work. that means thinking of ways of getting more out of the same time than we might otherwise get. that should lead us to an analysis of our work habits. since “work” for students usually means “homework”, the expression “work habits” should be read as “l(fā)earning habits”.then, as a smart student, you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study, chiefly reading and writing. if you learn to read better and write better, there are big benefits that pay off across the board in all your studies.32.from the passage, we know that the author is _.a. a poetb. an educatorc. an editord. a director33.we can infer from the first two paragraph that we students _.a. have enough timeb. can meet the presidentc. get something done welld. should accept the explanation34.the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 means _.a. that is impossibleb. that is not importantc. that is unbearabled. that is not acceptable35.the main purpose of writing the passage is to give _.a. informationb. encouragementc. criticismd. advice第二節(jié)

you dont. 36 the moment you decide to give up or stop working toward your goals, failure is born. 37 most people give themselves an out without even realizing it. they are willing to work hard on reaching their goals, but only until the going gets too rough or their energy dies down. dont do that! 38 never quit, never admit failure, and never lose heart.dont believe in a clear finish line for goals. its a good idea to set a general timeline, but remember that something will be beyond your control. 39 if you lock yourself into a given timeline, you might make yourself feel like a failure! instead, get a general idea of when youd like your goal to be completed. then take it one day at a time and focus on making progress instead of reaching the finish line in as little time as possible. be sure that you dont see difficulties as failures. difficulties mean only one thing: its not time for your goal to be completed yet. thats it! it doesnt mean you failed; it doesnt mean youre weak; it doesnt mean youll never achieve your goals. 40 youve got to keep moving forward and find a way over, around, or through the difficulties. a. never give up on yourself. b. failure only exists in your own mind! c. thats exactly how failure makes us feel. d. it simply means you have not done enough yet. e. you can never say exactly when your goal will be reached. f. instead, make up your mind to make your goal happen, no matter what! g. work hard towards your goal, and you will be likely to get good results.第三部分 英語知識運用（共兩節(jié)，滿分45分）第1節(jié)

56 better. so i told the man i had disliked for so many years that he was a good person 57 .” my 58 dropped. i looked at him, full of positive energy, in good shape, always ready to 59 others. “wow.”
