Three years later, I returned to college after having been stuck in a deadend job, working at a department store. I saw school as my way out. But I quickly found myself up against the same problems that had caused me to give up before. I was in over my head with collegelevel algebra (代数) and a heavy workload of reading and writing homework. In addition, I was still unsure of my career (职业) direction.After about a week in community college, I was feeling the same upset and fear I'd felt a few years earlier. I was ready to drop out again. Then a smartly dressed woman with grey hair walked confidently to the front of my English composition class. “Look at you! You're here because you want to change your lives for the better. And you're going to make it！”Mrs. Peters didn't know me from any of the other 40 faces in her classroom, yet I felt she was speaking directly to me. She knew exactly what I was feeling and what many of my classmates were probably feeling as well, and she lessened our fears. I came out of that class making up my mind to succeed.“Are you having trouble keeping up with the workload? Break it down into small manageable pieces, and set up a schedule that works for you.” she told us. “Are professors teaching too fast for you to take notes? Interrupt (打断) them with a question so you can catch up on your notes before they continue.” she advised. “If college algebra is too difficult, drop back to introductory college math.” she suggested. As for English composition which can be hard and boring, she gave us interesting writing homework.She never let us lose sight of our dreams. “Go for the best: you're worth it.” she said when we graduated.I left that community college with high grades and went on to do further studies. Mrs. Peters wouldn't know that when she gave that talk, she made a huge difference in my life.24．Why did the author go back to college?A．He was out of a job. B．He was dissatisfied with his job.C．He tried to start his own business. D．He hoped to learn more about algebra.25．What troubled the author at college?A．He did badly in recent exams. B．He was forced to leave school.C．He failed to manage his studies. D．He was beaten by bitter memories.26．How did Mrs. Peters affect the author?A．By showing favor to him. B．By talking with him directly.C．By setting him extra homework. D．By giving him inspiration and skills.27．What advice did Mrs. Peters offer to her students on their careers?A．Have fun. B．Start small. C．Dream big. D．Think twice.CSome people will do just about anything to save money. And I am one of them. Take my family's last vacation. It was my sixyearold son's winter break from school, and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a week long trip. The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day.I had meetings in New York, so I had to get back. But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay. I took my ninemonthold and took off for home.The next day, my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight. Yes, I encouraged—okay, ordered—them to wait it out at the airport, to “earn” more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1，600.Not bad, huh?Now some people may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a bigtime bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar. And these days, a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up.I've made a living looking for the best deals and exposing (揭露) the worst tricks. I have been the consumer reporter of NBC's Today show for over a decade. I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide. And I really do what I believe in.I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money's worth. I'm also tightfisted when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children, and expensive restaurants. But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut. It keeps its shape longer, and it's the first thing people notice. And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture. Quality lasts.28．Why did Delta give the author's family credits?A．They took a later flight. B．They had early bookings.C．Their flight had been delayed. D．Their flight had been cancelled.29．What can we learn about the author?A．She rarely misses a good deal. B．She seldom makes a compromise.C．She is very strict with her children. D．She is interested in cheap products.30．What does the author do?A．She's a teacher. B．She's a housewife.C．She's a media person. D．She's a businesswoman.31．What does the author want to tell us?A．How to expose bad tricks. B．How to reserve airline seats.C．How to spend money wisely. D．How to make a business deal.DMy first day in high school will never be forgotten. When I got to the classroom in the morning, I saw that Mr. Brown had already put our names on our tables. After walking a few steps, I saw my name on the table right in the middle of the classroom. Walking up to my table, my heart sang. “It would be great to sit there. I could see everything easily，” I thought to myself.A while later, the other students entered one by one and took their own seats. And then Mr. Brown started talking.He showed us his classroom rules and tried to explain them. All of a sudden, a student called Tony started singing loudly.All the while he moved his body to the music. His deskmate Josh couldn't understand why he was doing these things. Then he stood up and talked to Mr. Brown, “I don't want to sit with this strange guy. Can I swap seats with someone else in this room, please？”Mr.Brown didn't answer his question directly. He stopped what he was doing and turned on his computer. Then he showed us some pictures about autistic (患自闭症的) kids. He explained that autistic kids have little selfcontrol. They seem to do things that are beyond (超出) everyone else's understanding. However, they can do many other great things, in the field of art or music for example. Then he told us that Tony was not good at maths, but loved songs. “He can sing thousands of songs. What's more surprising is that he can remember all the words without any mistakes.” In the end, Mr. Brown added that although autistic kids were different, they should be loved.Since that first day in high school, I became Mr. Brown's admirer (崇拜者). I was pretty sure Mr. Brown would get all of us on the right track (轨道).32．How did the author feel seeing his table?A．Excited. B．Safe. C．Proud. D．Unhappy.33．What did Mr.Brown do in the class first?A．He introduced Tony. B．He explained the classroom rules.C．He got his computer ready. D．He showed some pictures.34．In what way was Tony special?A．He acted politely. B．He was understanding.C．He had a mathematical mind. D．He knew music very well.35．What does the author think of Mr.Brown?A．He's off the right track. B．He can make a great teacher.C．He has too many admirers. D．He is too different to be loved.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

续写的词数60左右Once, when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus (马戏团，马戏表演). Finally, there was only one family between us and the ticket counter.This family made a big impression on me. There were eight children, all probably under the age of twelve. You could tell they didn't have a lot of money.Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children were wellbehaved, all of them standing in line, twobytwo behind their parents, holding hands. They were excitedly talking about the clowns, elephants, and other acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice.One could sense they had never been to the circus before. It promised to be highlight of their young lives. The father and mother were at the head of the pack, standing proud as could be. The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded, “Please let me buy eight children's tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.”The ticket lady gave the price. The man dropped his head, and his lips began to shake. The ticket lady again quoted the price. It was obvious that the man didn't have enough money.How would he turn and tell his eight children that he didn't have enough money to take them to the circus?Actually we were not wealthy in any sense. So I understand how the kids would feel. I felt sorry for them.Seeing what was going on, my dad put his hand in his pocket, pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________。
