21、   I want to talk about a soldier. I saw him yesterday as my husband and I were enjoying a wonderful lunch in the cave-like dining room of an old hotel.

It is hard to imagine being comfortable in a room that probably seats a thousand, but the real magic of the place is its wonderful setting. Every comer is a wood and stone masterpiece, with high glass windows that look out to the huge cliffs of the valley.

A man entered with his family and took a seat. He wasn't in uniform, but he walked with the dignity of a soldier, and a slight limp (瘸). My suspicion was confirmed when he removed his hat and placed it on the table where I could see it. Embroidered (绣) on the cap were the words: "Iwo Jima Survivor".

As they were waiting for lunch, the others talking happily, this gentleman was stating out of the window. He was content to be left out of the conversation and allowed to take in the wonderful and impressive view of the waterfall.

I watched him, and imagined how much horror he had seen in the war. What losses did he suffer, and how many friends did he lose? What he had witnessed should have given him a good reason to lose faith in the world. Yet this tired soldier was smiling at the sky, at the sun and the roaring of the waterfall. Somehow, after everything, the world was still beautiful to him.

I walked over to him and said, "Excuse me, sir. I'm sorry to interrupt, but I saw your hat, and I just wanted to say thank you for serving."

He looked up at me, surprised, and said proudly, "You're welcome, and thank you, too."

I told him I would go home and tell my children about this experience that I'd met him.

22、When it comes to success in business and success in life, there are few qualities as important as confidence.

People naturally have different levels of confidence. Some have a higher level of confidence than others do, but even those whose confidence is lacking can learn to build their level of confidence and reach their most important goals. Increasing self confidence is one of the most common reasons people give for seeking the help of psychologists and other professionals.

One of the many places where a greater level of confidence is useful is in the workplace. We all know how difficult it can be, for instance, to ask the boss for a raise. This process can be extremely difficult for those who lack confidence in their own abilities. After all, if you are unsure about your own abilities, how will you ever convince your boss that you deserve more money for the work you do?

Even if you are not asking for that big raise, having plenty of confidence in your abilities is important to success. If you are certain of your abilities, chances are that those around you, whether they are your coworkers, your colleagues or your superiors, will see that confidence, and that will help to assure them that you are the best at what you do.

Being thought of as the person to go to, and being seen as an expert in your chosen field, is naturally very important to success on the job. If you can make yourself the person people go to for guidance and advice, you will help to protect yourself from the ever present danger of downsizing. After all, if you are a recognized expert at the office, you will be regarded as an indispensable member of the team.

Having a high level of confidence, after all, does not mean overlooking the places where you could improve. Knowing what you do well and where you need help will help you enjoy increased success and confidence.

【1】What is the passage mainly about?

A. The influence of confidence on one’s life.

B. The importance of confidence to success.

C. The difference of people’s confidence.

D. The judgment on one’s confidence.

【2】Psychologists and other professionals can offer help to those _____.

A. who think their goals are hard to reach

B. who expect to give guidance to others

C. who want to ask the boss for a raise

D. who dream to be recognized experts

【3】What does the underlined word indispensable in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

A. important B. attractive

C. outgoing D. energetic

【4】What message does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?

A. To overlook one’s disadvantages.

B. To make full use of one’s advantages.

C. To have great confidence in one’s abilities.

D. To make objective evaluations of one’s abilities.

23、Do you love hamburgers? Do you how they were created?

The first hamburgers in U.S. history were served in New Haven, Connecticut, at Louis’ Lunch sandwich shop in 1895. Louis Lassen, founder of Louis’ Lunch, ran a small lunch wagon selling steak sandwiches to local factory workers. Because he didn’t like to waste the excess beef from his daily lunch rush, he ground it up, grilled it, and served it between two slice of bread—and thus America’s first hamburger was created.

The small Crown Street restaurant is still owned and operated by the third and fourth generations of the Lassen family. Hamburgers are still the specialty of the house, where steak is ground fresh each day and hand molded, slow cooked, broiled vertically, and served between two slices of toast with your choice of only three “acceptable” garnishes: cheese, tomato, and onion.

Want ketchup or mustard? Forget it. You will be told “no” in no uncertain terms. This is the home of the greatest hamburger in the world, claim the owners, who are perhaps best known for allowing their customers to have a burger the Lassen way or not at all.

【1】Why did Louis Lassen start making hamburgers?

A. Because he didn’t want to waste excess beef.

B. Because he wanted to earn more money.

C. Because he would like to make something special.

D. Because he was the founder of Louis’ Lunch.

【2】Which of the following is not available for customers to choose from at Louis Lunch?

A. Cheese. B. Tomato.

C. Mustard.   D. Onion.

【3】What does the underlined words “Crown Street restaurant” in the third paragraph refer to?

A. A restaurant on the Crown Street.

B. A restaurant called Crown Street.

C. Louis’ Lunch sandwich shop.

D. A new chain shop of Louis’ Lunch on Crown Street.

【4】 The best title of this article is________.

A. The Creation of hamburgers

B. Louis’ Lunch

C. A king of fast-food----Hamburgers

D. Why People Love Hamburgers

24、   Still in shock! I moved around the house purposelessly trying to decide what to put into the suitcases(行李箱). Earlier that evening, I’d received a call telling me that my brother was killed in a car crash. “Come as soon as you can.” cried my mother.

I wanted to hurry to her at once. But my husband, Larry, and I were packing to move from New York to Seattle. Our house was in total mess. Supper dishes sat on the kitchen table. Toys lay everywhere. I purposelessly picked things up and put them down. Mother’s crying went through my head again and again.

Larry called some friends to tell them what had happened. Someone asked to speak to me. “If there’s anything I can do, let me know.” But I didn’t know what to ask for.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang. It was Emerson. He and his wife Donna lived in the block nearby.

“I’ve come to clean your shoes,” he said.

I asked him to repeat.

“Donna had to stay with the baby,” he said, “but we want to help you. I remember when my father died, it took me hours to clean our shoes for the funeral(葬礼). Give me all your shoes.”

I gathered all our dirty shoes to the kitchen. Emerson got to work right away. Watching him devoting himself to one task helped me pull my own thoughts into order. I told myself to wash clothes first. Then, Larry and I bathed the children and put them to bed. One job after another.

When we returned to clear the dishes, Emerson had left. All our shoes stood in a line against the wall, clean, shining. I couldn't help crying. Early next morning, we left for the airport with all the jobs done.

Now whenever I hear of a friend who's lost a loved one, I no longer call with the polite offer, “If there’s anything I can do …” Instead I try to think of one specific task that suits that man's need, like taking the dog to the boarding kennel, or house-sitting during the funeral. If the person asks, “How did you know I needed that one?” I reply, “Because a man once cleaned my shoes.”

【1】The writer didn’t know what to put into the suitcases because _____.

A.she couldn’t do it on her own

B.she was too sad to do anything

C.she wanted to take everything to Seattle

D.she was not good at housework

【2】Here's a time line of what happened in the story.

The writer’s brother was killed in a car crash→_____ →The writer washed the clothes. →They left for the airport. Which of the events should go in the empty box above?

A.Emerson came to clean the shoes.

B.The couple bathed the children.

C.They cleared the supper dishes.

D.The writer found the shoes cleaned.

【3】If one of her friends has lost a loved one, what will the writer probably NOT do?

A.Call her friend to ask what she can do.

B.Look after her friend’s young children.

C.Take her friend's dog to the boarding kennel.

D.Offer her friend house-sitting during the funeral.

【4】Which sentences best expresses the theme of this story?

A.One person's loss is another's gain.

B.An act of kindness is often rewarded.

C.A near neighbour is better than a brother far off.

D.Do something specific to help those in need.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Dark rain clouds were gathering in the sky. I was cycling as fast as I could to get home before the downpour. When I felt a few big drops on my head, I decided to dash for a bus stop, about a hundred meters away. As I was nearing the bus stop, I saw a lady rushing towards it from the opposite direction, a little boy following her. The little boy was finding it hard to keep up with her, so, finally, she just picked him up and carried him.

Suddenly, a motorcycle roared past me, almost knocking me down. He turned to look at me, and for a split second, I saw his face - cruel, glaring eyes. A flood of fear crept over me. However, courage from nowhere got me to shout “Hey! Are you mad!” My voice trembled a bit. He just sped on. Then, I realized that he was rushing right toward the woman and the little boy!

“Watch out! Watch out!” I shouted. I saw the lady turn to look at the motorcyclist, with worry on her face. In an instant, the motorcyclist reached the lady. He stretched out an arm and grabbed hold of her handbag, hitting her on the back at the same time. The impact sent the lady hurtling (猛冲) forward. The mother and child fell on the road, landing right in the path of a van.

“Stop! Stop!” I screamed at the van driver, waving my arms wildly in the air. Thankfully, the van stopped a few meters from the spot where the mother and child lay. I saw the lady crawling on the road towards the crying child. Throwing my bicycle to the side of the road, I ran to help them.

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

By the time I got there, the van driver had reached them.

I realized that, by this time, the motorcyclist must have gone far from that spot, with the lady’s handbag.
