(A)The summer of my eleventh year was a wonderful time of joy. My
13、 days were spent (21) _ (play) happily in the bright green woods around my home. I wished those peaceful days would last forever. But then it all changed. It happened in the middle of the night when I heard my grandmother scream. A fire had started in her room and was rapidly spreading through our h
14、ouse. We all ran outside. That night I went from a happy and carefree child to a homeless and scared (22) _. I didnt know (23) _ the future would be like. Thankfully, good friends took us into their home, fed, and clothed us. One night around their dinner table my mom thanked them for all they were
15、doing for us. Smiling, her friend said, Honey, it was the least we (24) _ do. Later they began to share old stories and laugh. It was then that I smiled for the first time in days and felt the fear finally fading from my heart. Our friends gave us help when we were in trouble. They opened their home
16、 and their hearts to us. They helped us to start over when we (25) _ (lose) everything. The next time you are given an opportunity (26) _(help) others, give from your heart. Live a life that makes Heaven smile. God puts us here to love each other, to feed each other, to help each other, and to make
17、this world a better place for everyone. (B)It seems that the custom of (27) _(give) birthday presents started thousands of years ago. People used to fear evil spirits-especially on their birthdays. It was a common belief that evil spirits were more dangerous to a person when he or she experienced a
18、change in their daily life, such as turning a year (28) _ (old). As a result, birthdays were celebrated with family and friends, who surrounded the birthday person with laughter to protect him or her from evil. It (29) _(think) to be even better if the guests brought gifts. Of course, people from di
19、fferent countries around the world celebrate birthdays in different ways. For example, the children in Argentina have their ears (30)_ (pull) by all their family and friends-one for each year of their lives. In Israel, the child sits in a special chair and gets lifted into the air-again, once for ea
20、ch year of life. The lucky children of Ireland receive “birthday bump” -they are held upside down and gently knock against the floor the number of years of life. So, once again we can see that (31) _ the practice of celebrating birthdays is very widespread around the world, the ways in which the cel
21、ebrations are performed are very different. Sometimes they seem very strange, sometimes even amusing to people (32) _ have different customs-but always very interesting to learn about and, with luck, someday experience.Section B (6)A. hands B. qualities C. information D. curiosity E. ruined F. appli
22、ed G. ashamed 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. When I succeeded in becoming a part-time employee of Nokia China last summer, many friends asked me how I survived the interview. I
23、 once asked myself the same questions. Many of my peers also _33_ for the job, including some very competitive and intelligent students from famous universities. But why did the interviewer pick me instead of them? Finally, _34 _ pushed me to ask the interviewers after we became colleagues. The answ
24、er was that I appeared confident but humble, responsible and communicative. They evaluated people not just on their academic certificates, but on the base of their _35_ and abilities. I happened to be the right person. To be frank, I once felt _36_ of being a student from an unknown college, and I t
25、hink this may apply to some of you. I thought my future was ruined. It was only at the time of my successful interview that I finally understood the famous saying - “You decide where you go.” Once I worked as a volunteer for a beach volleyball event. My job was to help foreign visitors experience th
26、e beach. I thought it would be very easy because my oral English was pretty good. But when I went to talk with a group of foreign guests, I suddenly realized that I did not know a single beach volleyball term. I was embarrassed. After this, I read brochures in both Chinese and English every day to l
27、earn the terms for facilities and related words. This allowed me to deliver accurate _37_ to foreigners, and I was happy to work responsibly. After these experience, Im more confident and I strongly believe that my fate is in my _38_. It has certainly helped me make a giant step closer to my dream o
28、f graduating with prospects for the future. I hope my advice will benefit you as well.III.
