第I卷(选择题)
第一部分 阅读(共两节,满分30分)
第一节 阅读理解(每小题2分, 共20分)
A group of people decided to climb a mountain together. They thought it was going to be an easy climb, so they laughed and talked among themselves and didn’t notice the sky growing darker. They soon got lost for they couldn’t see very far in front of them. They huddled together that night over a fire.
No one walked too far away from the group by themselves because it would surely lead to death. They sat close to each other throughout the dark hours not just for warmth, but for the fact that staying with the group was their only hope for survival. After what felt like a century, the sun started its slow climb up the sky. They were now able to see as far ahead of them as they liked, so they began to go down the mountain.
They still remained as a group at this time even though there was no real need. A bond (凝聚力) had formed throughout the group that could not be broken or ignored. They knew each other just as well as they knew themselves. As they reached the place where they had started their journey, they knew it was time to say goodbye. Feeling at peace, they bowed (鞠躬) deeply to each other. All of them kept the love they created as a group close to their hearts as they made their way out into the world alone.
1. What was the difficulty the group of people met in the mountain?
A. Damaged roads. B. Animals’ attack.
C. Losing their way. D. Running out of food.
2. What does the underlined word “huddled” in the first paragraph probably mean?
A. Talked a lot. B. Sat close to each other.
C. Played happily. D. Explored the mountain.
3. What was the most important thing they did in order to survive?
A. They kept close to each other. B. They told stories to encourage others.
C. They made a fire to keep warm. D. They sent some people to find the way.
4. They remained as a group when going down the mountain because ______.
A. the way was still not clear B. they enjoyed being in a group
C. they needed others to pull them D. the way became difficult to walk on
B
In my thirty years as a time management speaker, I have observed (观察) a lot of what we can not and should not do to increase our daily results. Time management is not necessarily working harder, but rather smarter.
A lot of our time management has to do more with what we are not doing rather than what we are doing. Sometimes our mistakes will keep us from running at a full pace. Here are some time management mistakes we should all avoid to help us increase our daily efficiency:
Start your day without a plan of action. Without a plan, you will have worked hard but may not have done enough right things. Time management is not doing the wrong things more rapidly. That just gets us nowhere faster. Time management is doing the right things.
Work with a messy (凌乱不堪) desk or work area. Studies have shown that the person who works with a messy desk spends, on average, one and a half hours per day in looking for things. That’s seven and a half hours per week. If you have ever visited the office of a top manager, you can easily find that he or she is working with a clean desk environment.
Don’t take a lunch break. Many people do not take a lunch break. They work through that time period in the hope that it will give them more time to finish the task. Studies have shown that it may work just the opposite. After doing what we do for several hours, our mind will bee boring. A lunch break, even a fifteen-minute break, gives us a chance to get our batteries all charged up again.
5. With a plan of action, you can ______.
A. work harder B. do the wrong things more rapidly
C. avoid doing wrong things D. get nowhere faster
6. Working with a messy desk or work area, you will ______.
A. waste a lot of time B. find the things you need easily
C. bee a top manager D. save seven and a half hours per week
7. The text mainly tells us ______.
A. how to avoid wasting time
B. we should get our batteries all charged up
C. how important time management is
D. some time management mistakes

Dear God,
This is Charles. I’m twelve. I’m typing this letter. Sometimes it’s hard for me to write. It’s a disease called dysgraphia. I also have learning disabilities, but my IQ was tested at 140.
I could never hold a pencil in the right way. My brain doesn’t sense what my hand is doing. I can feel the pencil, but the message doesn’t get through right. I have to hold the pencil tighter so that my brain knows I have it in my hand.
It’s much easier for me to explain things by talking than writing. There are so many things I can picture in my mind, but my hands just can’t draw it the way I see it.
It’s OK. I’m not plaining. I’m really doing fine. You see, you gave me a wonderful mind and a great sense of humor. I’m great at figuring things out, and I love to debate. We have some great discussions in class, and that’s where I really shine.
I want to be a lawyer when I grow up. I know I’d be good at it. You have told me that you made me special. You make me believe that you will see me through, and that you have plans for me to give me a future and hope.My parents want to help me, so they buy me a laptop. My teacher is the best this year! I am allowed to do a lot of my work on the puter.
Life’s hard sometimes, but I accept the challenge. Thanks for loving me. Thanks for everything.
Charles

Dear_Chen_Li,_
I I'm glad to hear from you. You asked me about the difficulties you may meet with when you get here in the UK. Now, I'd like to tell you something about it.
First, you may have the problem about the language which you think you are well prepared. You may find it difficult to municate with the natives, because many of them have a strong accent. Besides, you may not get used to the western food here or even hate to have it. What's more, you may feel lonely and miss your family and friends, especially in the very beginning.
However, you needn't worry about it. Several weeks later, you will get used to everything here and love the place, and I'll also try my best to help you when necessary.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li_Hua
