第二节 完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)
One of the easiest things in the world is to become a fault-finder. However, life can be 36 when you are not busy finding fault with it.
Several years ago I _37_ a letter from seventeen-year-old Kerry, who described herself as a world-class fault-finder, almost always _38_ by things. People were always doing things that annoyed her, and _39_ was ever good enough. She was highly self-critical and also found fault with her friends. She became a really _40_ person.
Unfortunately, it took a horrible accident to change her _41_. Her best friend was seriously hurt in a car crash. What made it almost _42_ to deal with was that the day before the _43_, Kerry had visited her friend and had spent the whole time criticizing her _44_ of boyfriends, the way she was living, the way she related to her mother, and various other things she felt she needed to _45_ It wasn’t until her friend was badly hurt that Kerry became _46_ her habit of finding fault. Very quickly, she learned to appreciate life rather than to _47_ everything so harshly (刻薄) . She was able to transfer her new wisdom to other parts of her _48_ as well.
Perhaps most of us aren’t as extreme at fault-finding, _49_ when we’re honest, we can be sharply _50_ of the world. I’m not suggesting you _51_ problems, or that you pretend things are _52_ than they are, but simply that you learn to allow things to be as they are—_53_ most of the time, and especially when it’s not a really big _54_ .
Train yourself to “bite your tongue”, and with a little _55_, you’ll get really good at letting things go. And when you do, you’ll get back your enthusiasm and love for life.
36. A. lonely B. great C. quiet D. uneasy
37. A. received B. answered C. expected D. rejected
38. A. threatened B. interrupted C. bothered D. spoiled
39. A. anything B. everything C. something D. nothing
40. A. caring B. boring C. interesting D. surprising
41. A. attitude B. plan C. measure D. explanation
42. A. urgent B. unnecessary C. certain D. impossible
43. A. occasion B. event C. accident D. adventure
44. A. memory B. notice C. evidence D. choice
45. A. hear B. contribute C. express D. admit
46. A. aware of B. afraid of C. curious about D. confused about

第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
A
Food festivals around the world
Stilton Cheese Rolling
May Day is a traditional day for celebrations, but the 2,000 English villagers of Stilton must be the only people in the world who include cheese rolling in their annual plans. Teams of four, dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes, roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre course. On the way, they must not kick or throw their cheese, or go into their competitors’ lane. Competition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos (disappointingly, but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones). All the competitors arc served with beer or port wine, the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese.
Fiery Foods Festival—The Hottest Festival on Earth
Every year more than 10,000 people head for the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico. They come from as far away as Australia, the Caribbean and China, but they all share a common addiction—food that is not just spicy ,but hot enough to make your mouth burn, your head spin and your eyes water. Their destination is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival which is held over a period of three clays every March. You might like to try a chocolate-covered habanero pepper—officially the hottest pepper in the world—or any one of the thousands of products that are on show. But one thing’s for sure—if you don’t like the feeling of a burning tongue, this festival isn’t for you!
La Tomatina—The World’s Biggest Food Fight
On the last Wednesday of every August, the Spanish town of Bunol hosts Ea Tomatina—the world’s largest food fight. A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week’s events. The early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with tomatoes—official fight-starters get things going by casting tomatoes at the crowd.
The battle lasts little more than half an hour, in which time around 50,000 kilograms of tomatoes have been thrown at anyone or anything that moves, runs, or fights back. Then everyone heads down to the river to make friends again—and for a much-needed wash!
56. In the Stilton cheese rolling competition, competitors on each team must ________.
A. wear various formal clothes
B. roll a wooden cheese in their own lane
C. kick or throw their cheese
D. use a real cheese weighing about four kilos
57. Where is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival held?

59. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The chief prize for the Stilton cheese rolling competition is beer or port wine.
B. More than 10,000 Chinese take pail in the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival.
C. Thousands of spicy foods are on show in the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival.
D. An exciting tomato battle takes place at the beginning of La Tomatina.
B
Papa, as a son of a dirt-poor farmer, left school early and went to work in a factory, for education was for the rich then. So, the world became his school. With great interest, he read everything he could lay his hands on, listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his tiny hometown. “There’s so much to learn,” he’d say. “Though we’re born stupid, only the stupid remain that way. “ He was determined that none of his children would be denied (拒绝) an education.
Thus, Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day. Though, as children, we thought this was crazy, it would never have occurred to us to deny Papa a request. And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned. We would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant, it was never taken lightly. Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment, always to the point.
Then came the moment—the time to share the day’s new learning.
Papa, at the head of the table, would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine, ready to listen.
“Felice,” he’d say, “tell me what you learned today.”
“I learned that the population of Nepal is .... “
Silence.
Papa was thinking about what was said, as if the salvation of the world would depend upon it. “The population of Nepal. Hmm. Well….” he’d say. “Get the map; let’s see where Nepal is. “And the whole family went on a search for Nepal.
This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts.
As children, we thought very little about these educational wonders. Our family, however, was growing together, sharing experiences and participating in one another’s education. And by looking at us, listening to us, respecting our input, affirming our value, giving us a sense of dignity, Papa was unquestionably our most influential teacher.
Later during my training as a future teacher, I studied with some of the most famous educators. They were imparting what Papa had known all along—the value of continual learning. His technique has served me well all my life. Not a single day has been wasted, though I can never tell when knowing the population of Nepal might prove useful.
