5.Read the passage and choose the correct ones.I've got a brother who is two years older than I am. Sometimes he's OK but other times he is a real pain in the neck. I'll give you some examples. Yesterday I couldn't put the key in the front door because it was dark and I couldn't see where the keyhole was. Did my brother help? No, he just told me how stupid I was. And last week when I came back from the hairdresser's he took one look at me and laughed. "No boy will go out with you looking like that. But don't worry. I can help you. Here, take this paper bag and put it over your head." Have you any idea how I felt?On the other hand, having a big brother can be useful. My parents are not so worried about letting me go out at night as they would be if I were an only child. Another good thing is that all his friends are also two years older and there is one boy who I like very much and who is very good at math so when they all gather at our house, I make sure that I’m there and always have a problem with my math homework that only he can help me with. I hope he can help with more than my homework!选项： A:The writer is good at math.; B:The writer is not good at math.; C:The writer's parents are good at math.; D:The friend of the writer's brother is not good at math.

6.1 Thank you. I’m honored to be with you today for your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. Truth be told, I never graduated from college. And this is the closest I’ve ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That’s it. No big deal. Just three stories.2 My second story is about love and loss.3 I was lucky—I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents’ garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4,000 employees. We just released our finest creation—the Macintosh—a year earlier, and I just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. And so at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.

9.One morning more than thirty years ago, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the humblest to the most powerful came for breakfast. I noticed an empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled. He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide rang of things. We never introduced ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford anything to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked,“May I get you something?” “A coffee would be nice.”Then I bought him a cup of coffee. We talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee. Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of my friends. He asked,“How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath?” “Who?”“The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs.”I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world's richest and most powerful men!My few minutes with Mr. Galbreath changed my life. Now I try to treat everyone with respect, no matter who I think they are, and no matter how they look, I will always treat another human being with kindness and sincerity.2） The author bought coffee for the old man because _________. 选项： A: he thought the old man was poor B: he wanted to start a conversation C: he intended to show his politeness D: he would like to thank the old man

14.[单选题]When the French Institute in Haiti （海地）asked me to speak on a subject of my own choice, I picked heroism. It's a subject I know well. I've read many books about it.I spoke of some well-known heroes. I suggested that I was something of a hero myself. Then I told how the hero, in the face of danger, discovers all the great. lasting values of life.When I left the platform, a gentleman came to me. "Great lecture," he said. I'm Doctor Bonbon. I've been asked to make your stay here as pleasant as possible. Would you like to go hunting sharks with me? You seem to enjoy facing danger."I accepted gladly. I saw myself struggling with a huge fish on my rod...I was to speak again the next afternoon. So we agreed to start early in the morning.“By the way," the doctor said as we set out, “you should try out your coucteau." “My... what?"“Your snorkel （潜水呼吸管）.You need to breathe. I'll show you how to work the underwater gun too. What's the matter? Something wrong?"I had to sit down. I tried to tell myself it wasn't so. But there was no doubt about it. I wasn't to fish with a rod. I was to go right down into the water. I opened my mouth to protest...“You know,” the doctor said, "I can't tell you how much we all enjoyed your lecture on courage."I said nothing. There are times when you have to protect your means of earning a living. I was known as a good speaker. If I had to be eaten by sharks to keep my reputation, I was ready. I put on my mask.“Now put on the lead belt. It will get you down there instantly,M the doctor said. “They'll go down with you. " He pointed to the four big men on board.Bodyguards, I thought with relief.“They're the beaters （轰赶猎物的人）,” the doctor said. “They'll go ahead and drive the sharks toward you. Then all you have to do is shoot. ” I didn t have the courage to object. They helped me over the side.At the bottom the first thing I saw was a big fish. I screamed.I can't quite remember what followed. All I know is that, contrary to what I had said in my lecture, in the face of danger the hero does not discover the great values of life. At last I opened my eyes again. The big fish was gone.I tried to return to the surface. Then I saw a huge form above my head. I seized my gun. I closed my eyes and pressed the trigger.The gun was torn from me.In seconds I was at the surface. Luckily, the boat was near. I was on board in an instant. "Where s your gun?” asked the doctor.I explained that I had hit a shark. The beast had torn the weapon from my hands.The four big men were climbing back into the boat now. One of them had my gun. He spoke to the doctor in his native language.“It seems," the doctor said to me, "that you shot at the hull of the boat."He was trying to suggest that I had mistaken the boat passing over my head for a shark. The very idea!When I stepped to the platform that afternoon, Doctor Bonbon was sitting in the front row. But I didn't let his mocking stare disturb me. I was determined to rise once more to the level of my subject."Ladies and gentlemen," I began, "when the hero finds himself facing danger, the first thing he discovers..."When he was told that he was to go dowm into the water,the writer had to sit down probably because _______. A he could not control his shaking legs B he wanted to have a better look at the water C he wanted to get ready for the underwater adventure D he could not help asking Doctor Bonbon some questions

18.[单选题]Passage 6Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.I was bringing my manuscripts to the publishing house on a train to Chicago.All I carried with me was an old suitcase,and a blank lottery ticket I bought on a station before boarding the train一not that I believed in luck.It was a momentary(临时的)intention.I looked at myself in the window glass,a middle-aged white man seeking for a new life and new opportunities.I was in deep thought when a stranger opened my compartment door.His appearance reminded me of gangster movies of the early 1940s.“May I take a seat?'he asked.“Yes,sure,"I answered.“Going to Chicago?he asked me.“Yes,I've got relatives there,"I lied.I don't know why I did that.We sat silent for a bit.Apparently,he must have noticed the lottery ticket stub(票根)sticking out of my shirt pocket.“You believe in luck?"he asked me while pointing his finger at the ticket.“Not really.I don't know why I bought this ticket,I laughed.“Well,luck is all about that:you can never know when you run into milk and honey,and when life gives you a kick in the ass,"he said.Did I meet him somewhere?In a cafe?I liked his manner of speech.It reminded me of some characters in my novels:confident,ironic,and sensible.Sometimes I tried to speak in that manner myself.“I would advise you to bet on numbers 6， 29， 11， 7， 81， 77， and 10，” he said.“Why?Is it some kind of a system?"I asked him.“No,I just have a feeling that they'll win.”Then he left with a smile.When I got off the train in Chicago,I filled the ticket exactly with the numbers dictated to me by the stranger.Then I did my business at the publishing house,received the payment for my last novet and retumed home.In a week,I checked the lottery ticket.Numbers 6,29,11,7,81,77,and 10 were a complete match.I won the lottery:$150,000.I never told anyone about the stranger in that train.In a month or so,I suddenly remembered where I met that guy:in one of my novels.Where did the author meet the stranger before?

We learn who we are and what we stand for and what inspires us. Also, in this period we are () with a lot of pressure from our parents who want us to make something out of ourselves.My parents have already expressed feelings of () over my future with academics and life.
