(A) One day, when I was in college, a dishonest-looking character approached me in the student union with a leather jacket he wanted to sell. It was a beauty: buttery smooth cowskin, with artfully sewed lines and long leather fringes (穗). I can’t remember what the price was, but it was apparently too little for such a jacket. Even as I paid the money that day, I knew something wasn’t right. Surely, a couple of days later, the jacket’s real owner, a student about my age came to me as I was on my way to class. “That’s my jacket,” he said, “and I want it back.” “No way,” I answered. “I paid for it, and I have no idea if it’s yours. It’s mine.” He didn’t challenge me, and I left, but the uneasiness I had about my new possession now had a visible face. A few days later, riding my bike across campus, I saw the real owner standing on the sidewalk. I rode over, took the jacket off, handed it to him said I was sorry, and rode off without another word. More than the weight of the jacket had been lifted from my shoulders. We’re all human, which means that sometimes we do things we shouldn’t do or say things we shouldn’t say. Sometimes we realize too late that our actions have been hurtful to somebody else. When these hard times occur, the best response --- the only response, really --- is, “I’m sorry.” Admitting a wrongdoing, as soon as possible and frankly, helps the other person begin to heal. But just as important, it cleans up our own soul and sets us free. That is a small price to pay for a clear conscience. 50. The author bought the leather jacket from the man in the student union because ______. A. it was a very attractive jacket B. it was charged at a reasonable price C. he was in great need of clothing D. he was happy to find such a bargain 51. The phrase “had a visible face” in the passage probably implies “______”. A. began to give me away openly B. started to bother me badly C. could be instantly melting away D. might be clearly expressed 52. Giving the leather jacket back to the real owner, the author ______. A. offered his forgiveness B. rode away unwillingly C. felt very much relieved D. realized his wrongdoing 53. What is the author’s purpose of this writing? A. To show the readers the reality of his college life. B. To encourage the readers to admit errors honestly. C. To tell the readers a story that once happened at college. D. To give the readers a lesson on how to say sorry to others. (B) The title “First Lady of the United States” is given to the wife of the nation’s president. The duties of most First Ladies have included arranging and attending social functions, such as state dinners. As the president’s wife, the First Lady is in a highly visible position. Therefore, her behavior can make her a role model. She can change people’s thinking by supporting a favorite cause. The First Lady also has access to influential people, including the president. Many First Ladies have used their position and skills to draw attention to social and other policies, and sometimes events have forced a First Lady to take an outstanding role in leading the country. After a serious disease limited her husband’s ability to move, Eleanor Roosevelt worked tirelessly representing her husband. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt began his office during the Great Depression (1929-1933). Both he and his wife cared deeply about helping the unemployed and providing relief for the needy. As First Lady, she went to places he could not go, traveling widely and reporting to him what she saw and heard. She visited plaining retired soldiers and coal miners; she also inspected government relief projects. During World War II she travelled abroad as America’s goodwill ambassador (親善大使). Believing that it was vital to inform the public about the president’s and her own thoughts and actions, Eleanor Roosevelt was the first presidential wife to hold press conferences. As First Lady, she gave lectures and radio talks and wrote articles. She began writing a newspaper column titled “My Day,” which shared her views on social, political, and other issues. Thousands of people wrote to her, asking for help. When she could not answer a letter personally, she forwarded it to the proper government agency to answer. Eleanor Roosevelt was a frank supporter of civil rights and worked to end prejudice (偏見). She advised women to be politically active and supported programs to aid jobless women. As a result of her influence, there were more women than ever before working in a president’s government. 54. According to the passage, First Lady of the United States may do the following except ______. A. raising the public’s social awareness B. setting up a good sample for people C. influencing powerful people’s decisions D. entertaining honored guests of the States 55.

She eventually took over the office since her husband had the problem of moving around. C. She developed a tradition of holding news conferences to keep the public well informed. D. She showed much concern about jobless people and helped those who needed money. 56. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Media used to hire First Ladies to be the hostesses of their programmes. B. First Ladies couldn’t go on political trips without their husbands’ pany. C. Women started to take a more active role in American society in the 1930s. D. First Ladies of the United States were allowed to work in their husbands’ office. 57. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A. The Ways to Be a Successful First Lady B. Eleanor Roosevelt, a Powerful First Lady C. The Roosevelts, a Remarkable Couple in American History D. The Hardness of Being a President with Physical Disabilities Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or plete the statements in the fewest possible words. If you start each day badly wishing for an extra hour in bed, the following is likely to leave you feeling even more ill-tempered. Scientists have identified a “sleepless elite” as a small group or class of people enjoying superior intellectual or social or economic position and, for whom staying in bed a little bit longer is a waste of time. Rather than being tired, bad-tempered under-achievers, they are an energetic group who can happily and healthily get by on just four or five hours of shut-eye per night. If that is not annoying enough, they are likely to be slim, able to hold down two jobs at the same time, and move on rapidly through their extra-long days without energy drinks or naps. Working out how the gene (基因) cuts sleep without any obvious influence on health could help in the design of pills that give us all a few extra hours in our day. University of California researcher Ying-Hui Fu said: “My long-term goal is to someday learn enough so we can control the sleep pathways skillfully without damaging our health. We will be thinner and have a higher tolerance for physical pain and mental setbacks (挫折) then. And everyone can use more waking hours, even if you just watch movies.” Researcher Dr Christopher Jones told the Wall Street Journal: “Typically, at the end of the phone interview, those sleepless elites will admit they have been texting messages and surfing the Internet and doing crossword puzzles while being interviewed, all on less than six hours of sleep.” (Note: Answer the questions or plete the statement in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.) 58. According to the passage, a “sleepless elite” is a group of people who __________. 59. pared to ordinary people, sleepless elites are more likely to __________. 60. What is scientists’ next aim after they work out the way the gene cuts our sleep without hurting our health? 61. What can be inferred from what Researcher Dr Christopher Jones said in the last paragraph? 第II卷 （共27分） I.
