(A)
When I was a ten-year-old girl, I (25) (ask) to deliver a speech titled “A Real Test in My Life”. To talk before the whole class! Just imagine how terribly shy I was the moment I thought of that with so many eyes fixed upon me. I had no other choice, though. First I was to draft the speech and that was just a piece of cake for me, because I was a good writer---something to pride myself on. But the hard part lay in my oral presentation; to read from (26) paper was not allowed; I had to give the speech from my memory and in front of such a big audience! A real trial began (27) I stood on the platform with my leg trembling and my mind blank. How much time had passed by, I didn’t know. My listeners (28) (be) still waiting, patiently abd without any signs of rushing me. Gradually I found (29) back, giving out my speech with difficulty. Finally I finished. After what seemed to be a hundred years, I found my audience applauding. I made it! From then on, my fear of the speech (30) I must deliver before an audience disappeared. Actually with my confidence building up, I now turn out to be a great speaker. Looking back, I know the (31) (great) difficulty on our way to success is our fear; overcome it, (32)
we will be able to achieve our goals.

(B)
No one can get ahead in life all by themselves. Everyone needs help from some other person at one time or another. The phrase “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know” (33)
(hold) true now more than ever.
The beautiful thing about networking（建立关系网）is (34) it works both ways, it is a give and take relationship. If you help somebody, they will have no trouble (35)
(reply) the favor.
If you have never networked before, networking can at first seem scary but over time you will soon be networking like a professional.
Get out there. If people don’t know (36) you are, then you will have an incredibly（难以置信地）hard time building relationships.
2.Trust. A great way (37) (build) trust is to try connecting with the person on a personal level as well on business level.
3.Diversity（多样化）. Having a diverse network enlarges your chances of knowing “connections”, those people (38) can put yuou in touch with people who you (39)
never have otherwise met.
Maintain. Your networking efforts will be useless unless you maintain the relationship. Maintaining relationships is easy: make a phone call, send a thank you note, send an interesting article, put someone’s link on your website, remember their birthday etc.
Give back. No one likes to constantly give, give, give, without receiving anything in return. Networking is so effective due to the premise（前提）, what can we do for each other.
Don’t worry if you lose touch. Losing touch (40) a contact is by no means the end of the relationship. Simply send an email, or call them, and say that you want to rekindle the relationship.

Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
We need more men in our hospital, not as doctors, but as nurses. Over the last few years, I have found that having male nurses is a real bonus, and they definitely have a place in our hospital. There are several reasons for wanting male nurses here, not only because half the population in our country is male. Men 41 excellent carers and are 42 good at taking care of others. In fact, many men take good care of theit children, wives, parents, sisters, brothers, and even thier nieces and newphews.
Another reason that men can becine great nurses is that in general, men are 43
stronger than women. Male nurses can help 44 heavy objects, or if, for example, a patient cannot move from the waist down, male nurses can help move the patient into a comfortable 45 . Also, male nurses can be a great help in keeping patients 46 while they receive painful treatment, such as bandages covering wounds are changed. Another advantage to having male nurses is that they see things from a different 47 from women and bring a male way of thinking to problem-solving. This allows the hospital to work more effectively than if we only 48 problems one way. Having a mix of male and female nurses also helps create a fun atmosphere, which helps patients recover faster.
Currently, only 7 percent of our nursing staff are men; this number is far too low, and the problem requires correction. Having more male nurses will help create a positive 49
between male and female staff, and it will 50 patients taking the choice of a male or female carer. I am determined to take on more male nurses here at Central Hospital. I will be organizing an open day soon to allow interested young men to visit our hospital and find out more about nursing. Hopefully, we will have more male nurses in our hospital soon!

It was a busy morning, about 8 : 30, when an elderly gentleman in his eighties came to the hospital. I heard him saying to the 51 that he was in a hurry for an appointment（约会）at 9 : 30.
The nurse had him take a 52 in the waiting area, telling him it would be at least 40 minutes before someone would be able to see him.

A Winter Adventure
Beep, beep, Beep-beep: the alarm clock rang. Slowly, I got out of warm bed down onto the wooden floor which the winter had thrown its cold upon. The bitter cold temperature penetrated（穿透）my socks and I hurried to put my feet in shoes.
Looking out of the window, I watched the white snow, soft and thick, drop onto rooftops and trees. Half an hour later, finishing the last of my hot chocolate, I prepared to enter the adventure that waited for me outside. I buttoned my jacket and fastened my boots. Hat on, I opened the door and was greeted by the winter coldness.
In the depth of winter, the early morning did not have the rush of the rest of the year. Most of my neighbours were put off by the cold, and stayed in bed until the sun had climbed higher into the sky.
Unseen by those who remained locked inside their homes, warm in their beds, I enjoyed being alone with the beauty of the winter time. Those indoors were unable to appreciate the snow-scopes, ice crystals（晶体）, frost and the crisp（清新的）breeze. For them, the coming of winter meant just the arrival of the cold.
Appreciation depends on contrasts. One cannot love the warmth of April if one has not known the freezing cold of winter. Later that year, the heat of the sun on my skin would be all the more wonderful for my memories of that cold morning and others like it.

I know what you’re thinking: pizza（比萨饼）? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers in the a.m. if you want to.
I know lots of women who skip breakfast（不吃早餐）, and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it. Some say they don’t have time, others think they’re “saving” calories（卡路里）, still others just don’t like breakfast food.
But the bottom line is thst eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose weight. “Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all”, says Katherine Brooking, R.D, who developed the super-easy eating plan for this year’s “SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if it’s loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece.
Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers at the University of Southern California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.
So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night’s leftovers, it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow”, I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it...you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects.
( ) 74.The underlined word “leftovers” in Paragraph 1 probably means .
A.food remaining after a meal B.things left undone
C.meals made of vegetables D.pizza topped with fruit
( ) 75.What can we infer from the text?
A.Working women usually have breakfast in a hurry.
B.Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast.
C.There are some easy ways of cooking a meal.
D.Eating vegetables helps save energy.
( ) 76.According to the last paragraph, it is important to .
A.eat something for breakfast B.be careful about what you eat
C.heat up food before eating it D.eat calorie-controlled food
( ) 77.The text is written mainly for those .
A.who go to work early B.who want to lose weight
C.who stay up late D.who eat before sleep
Section C
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
Many people spend a lot of time making money because they believe the money itself will make them happy, or will guard them against things that will make them unhappy. They make great efforts to achieve that perfect relationship, the perfect house, the beautiful body, the approval of others, all in an attempt to be happy.
Sometimes these things mke people happy; other times, people stress over not having reached the goals, or reach them and find they’re still unhappy. Other times, people focus on just one goal and don’t have time for other things that will make them truly happy.
Some experts studying human happiness and the factors that contribute to it have identified several key areas of life that seem to be more related to personal happiness. Some of them are the things like money, friends, health and living conditions; others are things you may not think of in your daily life, such as your neighborhood and sense of meaning in life.
So while setting your goals, remember all of the areas of life that are important to you and find a balanced lifestyle including social support, personal development, physical health and meaningful pursuits（追求）besides career success and financial security. Moreover, your attitude about life and the things that happen to you each day can also have a great effect on your level of happiness and life satisfaction. In addition to being optimistic, happy people tend to believe they are the masters of their fate, rather than the victims of circumstance.
