Back when I was in university, I had to take a computer-programming course. I had failed the first time. Exam day came, and I was extremely __36__. When the exam started, I noticed that everyone was focused—everyone __37__ me and the guy next to me.
An hour later, I still hadn't __38__ a word. That guy next to me had left the exam room, __39__ the exam, which meant he would fail. I started to panic and think about what was going to happen if I __40__ again. At that time, I heard one little voice in my head. It said, “If I fail the exam, then I will fail this __41__. If I fail this course, I will be __42__ to move back home and work at a __43__， but I wonder if there are any good jobs I could get. ”I glanced up at the __44__. It was halfway through the exam.
It was at that __45__ that I suddenly realized something. An image of my __46__ flashed into my head.
“Steve, you'll be __47__. You've spent much time preparing for this exam, ”he __48__ me the previous night. “If you were able to do the assignments(作業(yè)), you'll be able to do this exam.”
That was when things began to turn for the __49__. After that, I started to ask myself __50__ questions. I've done this before, so why couldn't I do it now? I kept __51__ what my roommate had said until that tiny weak voice grew into a loud __52__ voice in my mind. Suddenly, everything was __53__ and I was writing. I began with the first question and then continued to the next. I completed the entire exam __54__.
Weeks later I received my __55__ and I had passed. It was better than working at a gas station.
文章大意：當(dāng)人處于關(guān)鍵時刻時，難免會緊張不安，此時消極的想法只會使情況更糟。但是，如果積極調(diào)整狀態(tài)，便會轉(zhuǎn)危為安。

第三部分：閱讀理解(共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分)
閱讀下面的短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C、D)中，選出最佳選項。
A
Although Ripton Rosen was a white boy living in a luxurious penthouse (豪華公寓), he liked to play baseball with his black teammates of the same street. Ripton sometimes invited the boys to his home to play video games. As time went on, several of them became frequent visitors to the 16th-floor penthouse. In time, the group developed into five regulars(?？? ：Will and Kindu, Philippe Medina, Juan Carlos Rob-inson and Carlos Suarez.
“In the beginning, it was just a lot of kids moving all over the place，” says Michael, Ripton's father. Things then began changing in small ways. When the Rosens realized Carlos wasn't attending school because he didn't have suitable clothes, they bought him some. Then one night, they took the group to a bookstore after a Chinese dinner and realized there were other_needs. “The boys had no interest in books at all，” Michael says. Back at the penthouse, he insisted they sit down to read aloud and start a half-hour reading period before video games or television every day.
Slowly the five black boys became a necessary part of the Rosen family. Housework was assigned, including cleaning, loading the dishwasher and walking Mr Jenkins, the family dog.
The boys' own families were puzzled by what was happening. “My mom didn't believe me when I told her about the penthouse，” says Kindu. “She thought I was involved with something bad.” Juan Carlos's mother, Esther Ruiz, wondered, “Why would the Rosens be doing this？” But as time went on, she noticed changes in her son. “He was geting responsible. The Rosens are the best”．
56．The Rosens bought Carlos some clothes so that ________.
A．he would study harder
B．he would feel comfortable
C．he could go to school
D．he could serve the family
答案：C　細節(jié)理解題。 由第二段第三句可知，Rosen夫婦給Carlos買衣服是為了他能去上學(xué)。
57．The underlined words “other needs” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to the need of ________.
A．knowledge B．textbook
C．catalogue D．paperwork
答案：A　細節(jié)理解題。第二段指出Michael帶孩子們?nèi)?，發(fā)現(xiàn)他們對讀書沒有一點興趣，回家后，他便要求孩子們開始學(xué)習(xí)。這說明孩子們需要知識。textbook“教科書；課本”；catalogue“目錄”；paperwork“文書工作”。
58．We learn from the passage that the Rosens ________.
A．devoted themselves to fighting discrimination
B．knew a lot about how to encourage children
C．regarded friendship as the most important thing
D．treated the black boys with great kindness
答案：D　推理判斷題。從第二、三段可以看出五個黑人孩子在Rosen家受到了關(guān)愛，因此可以推斷Rosen夫婦對這五個黑人孩子非常好，故選D項。
59．The passage is constructed to confirm the fact that ________.
A．parents are expected to treat other children as gener-ously as possible
B．children ought to be encouraged to make friends with each other
C．a(chǎn)ll men are created equal, and there should be no racial division
D．everyone is likely to be grateful for whatever kindness others have shown
答案：C　推理判斷題。Rosen夫婦對五個黑人孩子非常關(guān)愛，孩子們也變得很有責(zé)任感，因此Juan Carlos的母親感激不盡，文章旨在傳達：不論黑人白人，人人都是平等的，都有關(guān)愛別人的義務(wù)和得到關(guān)愛的權(quán)利；種族歧視不該存在，應(yīng)當(dāng)廢除。
B
A Book Review—The Snake-Stone by Berlie Doherty
The setting: Urban England(the cities)，but also rural England( the countryside)including remote English villages.
The theme：The main theme is a teenage search of self-discovery，in this case the search for a mother from whom the hero was separated at an early age. Its other concerns are love, getting on with others, being persistent and courageous and trying to deal with doubts, troubles and worries. As the book moves to a close，James' swimming coach says to him，“You are not like a kid obeying instructions any more. You are diving like a young man who knows where he is going.”
The characters：James is the hero of the story. He is a championship diver, and has a comfortable life with his foster parents(養(yǎng)父母). Yet he also has the qualities to take him on a long journey to find his birth mother. The other characters in The Snake-Stone, James' parents, his diving instructor, best friend，the villagers, people he meets on his journey, are pictured realistically.
The turning point：The turning point in the story comes while James' foster parents are away in London, and he wonders about the identity of his birth mother. The only clue he has is a fossil，“the snake stone” which she left behind along with a note on which she had written ，“Take good care of Sammie.” It was written on a torn envelope with parts of an address still there.
The journey: Instead of going to London, James decides to find his birth mother. With help from his geography teacher, James sets out for the remote country village where his mother might be found. James has painful, challenging, but also humorous and happy travels. The mother he finally meets, Anne, has a minor yet powerful voice in the novel. He comes to understand why she left him at a stranger's door fifteen years before. Although the meeting is not long，it leaves him with a feeling of completeness. As a journey of self-discovery The Snake-Stone also provides its readers with a happy ending. Its hero says, on returning to his foster parents，“I was home.”
60．What is the main theme of the novel?
A．Life with foster parents.
B．Life in the world of diving.
C．A journey of self-discovery.
D．A travel around the country.
答案：C　主旨大意題。由第二段“The theme”的第一句，“The main theme is a teenage search of self-discovery”可知答案選C項。
61．What do the coach's words in Paragraph 2 suggest?
A．James is a successful diver.
B．James is a hopeful swimmer.
C．James is an outgoing young man.
D．James is an independent young man.
答案：D　句意理解題。第二段最后“You are not like a kid obeying instruction any more. You are diving like a young man who knows where he is going.”“你不再像是個只會遵從指令的孩子了。你像是個清楚地知道自己將何去何從的年輕人一樣在跳水。”選擇D項，他是一個獨立的男人。
62．The snake stone in the novel is________.
A．a(chǎn) stone with an address on it
B．a(chǎn) clue left by the birth mother
C．a(chǎn) gift from the swimming coach
D．a(chǎn) fossil left by the foster parents
答案：B　細節(jié)理解題。由第四段第二句中“The only clue he has is a fossil, ‘the snake stone’ which she left behind along with a note on which she had written, ‘Take good care of Sammie.’”可知他有的唯一線索就是一個化石，她留下了“the snake stone”和一張她寫的“照顧好Sammie”的紙條。故選擇B項，一個由他的親生母親留下來的線索。
63．Which of the following is true about the novel?
A．The story has a sad ending.
B．The story takes place in the city of London.
C．The characters are vividly described.
D．The turning point comes after the hero meets his birth mother.
答案：C　細節(jié)理解題。A項與本文最后一段中的“As a journey... a happy ending”不符；B項與文章第一句話“... but also rural England(the countryside) including remote English villages”不符；D項與第四段的第一句話“The turning point in the story comes while James' foster parents are away in London”不符。
C
The meaning of the word “volunteer” may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means“one who offers his or her services”. There are many different ways in which people can volunteer, such as taking care of sick people，working in homes for homeless children, and picking up the waste from beaches and parks. Volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries. They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. Volunteers don't expect any kind of pay.
At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people. Tracy ，a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means. She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresa's homes in Calcutta. The following is her story.
“I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school when we watched a video about her work in India and all over the world. I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that after I graduated from high school, I, too, wanted to try her kind of work. So with two friends I flew to Calcutta for a few weeks.”
“I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash clothes and sheets, and pass out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up. I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest，I don't think I was helping very much. It was then that I realized that I had not only come to help, but also to learn about and experience another culture that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world.”
64．What's the best title of this passage?
A．Volunteers Sharing As Well As Helping
B．Volunteers Washing As Well As Cleaning
C．Volunteers Cheering As Well As Planting
D．Volunteers Caring As Well As Understanding
答案：A　標題歸納題。從文章的開頭及結(jié)尾都已表達出“Volunteer”的兩層含義及“通過幫助別人學(xué)習(xí)對方文化以幫助自己對生活及整個世界的理解?！惫蔬xA項。
65．According to the text，a volunteer refers to a person who ________.
A．is willing to help those in need without reward
B．can afford to travel to different places
C．has a strong wish to be successful
D．has made a big fortune in life
答案：A　細節(jié)理解題。由文章第一段最后一句“volunteers don't expect any kind of pay”可知。
66．Tracy started her work as a volunteer ________.
A．a(chǎn)fter she met Mother Teresa
B．a(chǎn)fter she finished high school
C．when she was touring Calcutta
D．when she was working in a hospital
答案：B　細節(jié)理解題。文章第三段倒數(shù)第二句“...after I graduated from high school，I，too wanted to try her kind of work”已告知特雷西是中學(xué)畢業(yè)后從事志愿者工作的。
D
Many plants and animals live together, and they depend on each other. They are usually very different from their sharing partner, and yet all live easier lives because of each other. It is nature's idea of sharing.
An example of this is the shark and pilot fish. The pilot fish is a little guy and he would be helpless if he hung around by himself in the great ocean. But his smartness makes up for his size. He cleverly swims along beside the shark and when the shark eats, the pilot fish gets the leftovers. The shark also benefits from this relationship. The pilot fish cleans food scraps (碎屑) and insects from the shark's skin.
Another example is the sea anemone (?？? and striped clown fish. The sea anemone looks like a flower but contains poisonous cells. When small fish swim into it, the anemone traps and paralyzes (使麻痹) them. However, the striped clown fish is able to swim into the poisonous anemone without being harmed. To pay for his safety, the clown fish brings food to the anemone. He also guides other fish into the anemone's deadly trap.
Large mammals such as the ox, antelope and African buffalo form such a relationship with the oxpecker. They provide daily meals to the bird that eats insects. The various large mammals act as a restaurant with a varied menu for the oxpecker. What do they get in return from the bird? Free beauty treatments!
Some plants live together in a beneficial relationship. Fungus (菌類) does not have chlorophyll (葉綠素) that plants need to make food. However, the green alga (海藻) does contain chlorophyll. It is, therefore, able to feed the fungus along with itself. But nothing is free! The fungus repays it by protecting the alga. Since it takes in and stores water, it can provide the alga with an unending water supply.
文章大意：本文用四個例子來說明一些動植物之間相互依賴，相互幫助，共同分享的關(guān)系。
67．Why does the pilot fish swim along beside the shark?
A．Because he likes eating the waste given off by the shark.
B．Because he can help the shark get food.
C．Because he can get food and protection.
D．Because he needs the help of the shark to lead his way.
答案：C　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“When the shark eats, the pilot fish gets the leftovers. And the pilot fish needn't worry about his safety.”可知，答案為C。
68．To repay the sea anemone, the striped clown fish ________.
A．paralyzes small fish for him
B．helps him catch other fish
C．does some cleaning work
D．warns him of the danger
答案：B　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的“To pay for his safety, the clown fish brings food to the anemone. He also guides other fish into the anemone's deadly trap.”可知，答案為B。
69．What do the fungus and the green algae share with each other?
A．Energy and light.
B．Food and energy.
C．Light and chlorophyll.
D．Chlorophyll and water.
答案：D　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段內(nèi)容可知，真菌類植物生存依靠綠藻的葉綠素。作為回報，真菌類植物向綠藻提供水源。
70．What is the structure of the passage?
A．①→②③④⑤ B．①→②③→④⑤
C．①②③④→⑤ D．①②③→④⑤

E
“Everyone's initial reaction was just: 'What？' They thought I was mad，” said Kate Brady on how people responded when she told them she was donating a kidney to a stranger. But Kate held a firm desire to benefit someone else and donated her kidney to a man through a London hospital. This type of donation is not available in Ireland but is available in other countries such as the UK (since 2006) and the US.
Kate, who is 32 and from Brittas, Co Dublin, had long been a blood donor (捐獻者), but the thought of donating a kidney came from the film Seven Pounds. Will Smith's character tries to benefit as many people's lives as possible, and his methods include kidney and bone marrow(骨髓) donation.
“I saw that and was so inspired at the end of the film. You can get your inspiration from everywhere—an article, a book, a conversation. I thought of all those people stuck in hospital beds and not being able to live while I had two kidneys and could live completely well on one. With my health, I just never get sick and I feel really strong—both physically and mentally as well.”
Kate says her mind was made up while driving home from the cinema, and she decided that if the risks of kidney donation all seemed reasonable, she was going to go ahead and do it.
“I went home and researched it for a while. I was okay with the risks—obviously they were there, but I felt there were risks with every operation. So I rang up a place in Dublin saying I'd like to volunteer but they said it was not possible to donate to a stranger in Ireland and the closest place would be the UK.”
That was in 2008. Life took Kate to Boston for a year and then she got a job in London. She is still there and works as a behavior analyst (心理分析醫(yī)師) with autistic children.

參考譯文
Li Lei，my classmate, is a very determined boy with big eyes and curly hair. You can't imagine that he is judged as the best basketball player this term though he is very short compared to other players.
One year ago when he told us his dream of being an excellent basketball player, few believed in him. However, he neglected what we had said and made great efforts to realize it. Now, he has made it. He was often found on the school playground，with a basketball in his hand, shooting over and over again, sometimes until dark. Even though his coach once told him that he would never succeed considering his height, he just shrugged it off and went on with his practice. It is true that where there is a will，there is a way.
