Every night for a year, Neil Simons quietly went out of his house. He wanted to "talk" to an owl settling for the night at the end of his garden. He made owl cries like a real wild owl and was happy to hear the bird "hooting (大声叫嚣)" back to him.

Last year Fred Cornes moved in next door. He heard an owl hooting and answered back. For 12 months the neighbors got into the back gardens of their homes, thinking they were talking with nature. Mr. Simmons kept a diary of all his talks with his bird friend. They would both be out again tonight if it wasn't for a chance talk between their wives.

Mr. Simmons said. "My wife Kim was telling Fred's wife Wendy about my owl watching and described how I got the birds to boot back. She said, 'That's funny - that's just what Fred has been doing.' Then the penny dropped, I felt such a fool when I found out. The trouble is that owl calls aren't exactly the same and it's easy to make a mistake."

Mr. Cornes said, "I'm really flattered (过奖). I didn't know I sounded so real. I love nature and I couldn't resist hooting at the owls. I was very excited when they hooted back. I'm sorry that I was fooling my neighbor who was fooling me."

36. After the talk between the wives, the two men would probably _________ .

A. stop observing owls B. not stay up hooting again

C. not enter the back garden again D. make no mistakes about wild owl cries

37. "Then the penny dropped." most probably means "Then __________."

A. I understood B. everybody knew about it

C. I heard the noise D. no money was paid

38. Mr. Simmons felt upset about the whole thing because __________.

A. all his efforts seemed to be meaningless

B. his wife let out his secret by chance

C. garden owls hooted so differently

D. Fred had been doing the same

39. The text suggests that __________.

A. Nail seldom heard natural owl calls

B. the owl never hooted back to Neil

C. Fred was always good at pleasing owls

D. owl watching is no longer interesting to Fred

(B)

There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as an external (外在的) result or a product that can easily be identified and measured. The worker who gets a rise, the student whose grades improve, and the foreigner who learns a new language-all these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.

By contrast (对照), the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way. The process is not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have, their caution or courage, as they meet with new experiences and unexpected difficulties. In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept.

In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to face the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may "fail" at first. How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is essential to our ability to grow. Do we see ourselves as quick and curious? If so, then we tend to take more changes and to be more open to unfamiliar experiences. Do we think we're shy and indecisive? Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and not to take a step until we know the ground is safe. Do we think we're slow to adapt to change or that we're not smart enough to deal with a new challenge? Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all.

These feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow. If we do not face and overcome these internal fears and doubts, if we protect ourselves too much, then we stop growing. We become trapped inside a shell of our own making.

40. In the author's eyes, one who views personal growth as a process would __________.

A. succeed in climbing up the social ladder

B. judge his ability to grow from his own achievements

C. face difficulties and take up challenges

D. aim high and reach his goal each time

41. Which of the following can be viewed as the process of personal growth?

A. Our manager was always willing to accept new challenges.

B. Little Tom won the first prize in the Speech Contest.

C. Max picked up French while he was in Paris.

D. Daddy's salary rose from $3,000 to $3,800.

42. About personal growth, the author advocates all of the following except _________.

A. curiosity about more changes

B. quickness in self-adaptation

C. open-mindedness to new experiences

D. avoidance of internal fears and doubts

43. The best title for this passage should be _________.

A. Facing new challenges

B. Growth ―product or process

C. Unavoidable feeling of self-doubt

D. Overcoming internal fears

【答案解析】

【单项填空】

1.D。"与……有关/ 无关"的英文表达是"have something / nothing to do with"。

2.C。by the time 引导时间状语从句,主句中的动作发生在从句中的动作之前。故用过去完成时。

3.D。选项A中连词once表示条件,意为"一旦",不合题意。选项B中reached是及物动词,后直接接宾语,因题中已有介词at,故B不能入选。选项C中的get 后接介词应是to,而不是at。选项D中的upon是介词,可与名词或动名词连用,表示"一……就……",可入选。

4.A。take a sail = take a ship意为"乘船"。set sail 是固定搭配,意为"起航、启程",中间不加冠词。故选A。

5.C。compare with意为"与……相比"。而"be compared to"意为"被比作……"。

6.D。when引导的是定语从句,修饰先行词next week。

7.C。look up to sb. 表示"尊敬某人",其余各项无此含义。

8.B。rule out意为"排除";pick out意为"挑选";take out意为"拿出";carry out意为"实施"。根据题意,你可以从some toys中"挑选"一个。故选B。

9.C。选项A、B时态用错。hold one's breath意为"屏住气"。

10.B。make it意为"做成功、到达",无被动式,排除选项C。选项A时态错。pay off意为"(计划等)顺利成功"时,也是没有被动式的。故正确答案为B。

11.B。be well received意为"很受欢迎",习惯用法。

12.B。rather than意为"而不是"。other than意为"除了……"。另外,本题还考查it is … that…这个强调句型。根据题意,选B。

13.C。"be to + 动词原形"表示将来。

14.A。require后接的宾语从句中要用"(should) + 动词原形"形式。另外pay attention to后接名词或动名词。

15.A。考查交际用语。根据最后一句可知,这位顾客可能不急于点菜,还需要等一会儿。

【完形填空】

16.B。根据下句中的organize可知应选B项,意为"时间构成了我们生活中的每-时刻"。

17.A。因第一句话说的就是时间的重要性,直到父亲送给我一块表我才意识到时间的重要性。

18.D。下文父亲给我手表是因为我接人去晚了,可见他教我要有时间观念,做个有责任的人。

19.A。前面描述的是表,此处当然指的是表这个物体。

20.C。根据下文,这是父亲送给我的礼物。

21.B。

22.C。前后构成转折关系。

23.B。 go out意为"出去;熄灭";hang out意为"闲逛";stand out意为"交出;显眼";leave out意为"省去;遗漏"。

24.B。到了晚些时候,大约上午11点的时候我才记起了这件事。

25.D。此时已经过去两个小时了,要去接他已经太晚了。

26.C。

27.A。此时的作者当然是觉得惭愧了。

28.C。此时的父亲当然是感到生气了。

29.B。 have fun意为"玩得高兴"。

30.B。你这样做不好。

31.C。

32.D。希望这块手表可以时刻提醒你时间。

33.A。这里与前文呼应,你要做个有时间安排的人。

34.B。尊重时间,不要迟到。

35.D。从本文内容可知作者说这块表对其意义之大。

【阅读理解】

36.B。文章讲的是两位同为邻居的男士晚上模仿猫头鹰的叫声,他们都以为得到了猫头鹰的回应,但是他们的妻子在交谈的时候把秘密揭开,他们把对方的叫声错误理解为猫头鹰的叫声,于是他们从此后不再模仿猫头鹰的叫声。

37.A。Then the penny dropped这句话是Mr. Simmons在知道事实真相后说的。意思是"我明白了"。

38.A。Mr. Simmons在最初的时候惊喜地发现猫头鹰的存在,所以他才每晚到花园学猫头鹰,到后来发现是他的邻居模仿猫头鹰的叫声。根据常识推理,令他感到不安是因为他以前做的事情是徒劳的。不是B项"因为他妻子偶然说出了秘密",C项"花园的猫头鹰叫声不同",D项"Fred也像他那样做"。

39.B。Neil Simmons原来以为他得到猫头鹰的回应,事实上回应的是他邻居模仿的声音,言下之意他根本没有收到猫头鹰的回应。Neil既然可以模仿猫头鹰的声音,说明他常常听到猫头鹰的声音,所以A项不对。C项和D项答案从文章中推断不出来。

40.C。第二段集中阐述把个人成长视为过程的人的观点。从最后一句"this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept."暗示C为正确答案。

41.A。见上题解析。

42.D。第三段里详述了作者所提倡的有利于个人成长的东西,仅D项是作者所不赞成的。

43.B。考查主旨大意。文章一开始就提出了全文的关键句"There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process"。全文都是围绕这-命题展开讨论的,所以B项作为本文的标题最合适。

【对话填空】

44. left 45. sounds 46. back 47. seeing 48. job

49. started 50. equipment 50. traveling 51. selling 52. abroad/ around

【书面表达】

One possible version:

Dear Joy,

I was very glad to receive your letter on January 11th. At your request, I'll tell something about my school life.

In Grade 3 at my senior high school, I have six subjects, that is, Chinese, mathematics, English, physics, chemistry and PE.. School hours usually begin at 8 am and end at 4 pm. After class, we have sports, such as ball games and so on, or do some reading in the school library. After school, I don't usually go home at once. I have joined the School English Corner, where students can practice oral English with the foreign teachers and other students. Every afternoon, I spend one hour there before I return home.

Nantong is a really beautiful city. Welcome to Nantong.

I'll appreciate it if you can also tell me something about your school life. I'm looking forward to it.

With best regards.

Yours ever,

Li Ming
