3.You know how it is when we get together. They talk about impossible dreams. “If I won the lottery (彩票), I would …”, “If I had plenty of money, I would …” But I never told anyone about my dream. I was afraid they would laugh if they knew. My aunt died and left everything to me. So I went around the world in search of the perfect woman that I really loved.I first went to America, but I didn’t find I was looking for. The women I met were either too thin or too fat, too quiet or too noisy. So I started off for Spain. Most of the women I met were much too self-confident. Then I went to China. The women there were lovely, but much too shy, and I like taller women. Finally, I found myself back in my own country. I was sad.Well, you can never guess what happened. In my own country, I found the woman I was looking for! Funnily enough, she lived near me, and I was surprised that I had not noticed her before. We met in the local shop. She dropped her bag. I picked it up and give it to her. I knew at that moment that she was the woman for me. But I wanted to be very careful. I didn’t want to say or do anything that might frighten her away. So I just made small talk as we walked back to the car park.Back home, I planned to win her heart. After a few more meetings, I finally invited her to have dinner with me. She accepted. Everything went well during dinner and seemed to enjoy the food. Finally, I told her about my search.“That’s amazing (令人惊奇的)！” she said. “I’ve just come into a lot of money, too, and I have decided to go round the world in search of the perfect man. I think I’ve found him.” Question： What’s the writer’s dream? 选项： A:To win the lottery.; B:To have plenty of money.; C:To travel around the world.; D:To marry a perfect woman.; E:To meet many women.

11.Part 3 Reading Comprehension (40 points)Task 1 Read the following passage. Choose the best answer.My hobby made me money!We all know that hobbies can be a great way of relaxing, learning new things and making new friends. But did you know that some hobbies can even make you money? This is what Vanessa Hughes found out last year.The nineteen-year-old told us: “I’ve always loved cooking and baking. Since I was seven or eight years old, I’ve been in the kitchen making my family meals and snacks. Last summer, it was my best friend’s birthday, and I decided to organize a surprise party for her. I didn’t have enough money to buy lots of ready-made food, so I made my own.”The surprise was a huge success and Vanessa was surprised when people kept asking her “Who prepared all this delicious food?” At the end of the party, a friend asked her if she would cook for his mother’s birthday party. Vanessa said: “He offered me money, but I wouldn’t take money from a friend. I just said I’d do it.”The next party Vanessa cooked for went equally well, and by the end of that one, Vanessa had three more bookings for parties over the next month. She said: “By then I realized I was going to have to start charging some money for my services. At the beginning, though, I only asked for a small amount to cover the ingredients I used.”Since these early days, Vanessa hasn’t stopped. She’s now busy every weekend, cooking for parties. “I love it”, she says “… and I feel so lucky that my hobby is helping me earn money. I’m going to use the money to help me to go to college—to study courses of catering! 3. Why did Vanessa not want to take money for her cooking? 选项：A、She didn’t need the money.

14.[单选题]Passage 1 At ten years old，I borrowed a book from the library that had the word “mistress” in the title. Granted，the cover art featured a golden carriage resembling that of Cinderella’s. My mother did not notice this book amid my stack of 20 until I was at home reading it. The book was immediately taken away by my mother when she found it. Then she led me back to the library. I can still remember how embarrassed I was as my mother explained that I needed reading material that was different from that book. The librarian on duty was a middle-aged lady, tall and beautiful. Smiling kindly, she walked from behind the counter and signaled me to follow her. Her walk was so graceful that she could easily have qualified for a part in ballet. “Here you are，” she said. “It’s called I Capture the Castle，by Dodie Smith.” I looked at her and stood motionless for a few seconds. Obviously, it was not the kind of book I was looking for. “It’s very different,” she said, noticing my disappointment. I accepted her recommendation. I took the book home, curled up on our window seat, and started reading: “I write this sitting in the kitchen sink. I can’t say that I am really comfortable, but that is the only part of the kitchen where there is any daylight left. And I have found that sitting in a place where you have never sat before can be inspiring —I wrote my very best poem while sitting on the hen-house.” I was hooked. Absolutely hooked. I wanted to be a writer, too. I also loved to write in strange places. I never told the librarian how much that book meant to me. How it spurred my writing dreams to the point that I took journals when walking through the woods and paused to take notes. Two weeks ago, I drove to meet my mother for a Christmas lunch in my hometown. In an old-fashioned teashop, I caught sight of a familiar figure—it was the very librarian who had changed my life! Sixteen years had passed, but—for a moment— time stood still. There were a few more wrinkles (皱纹) around her eyes, and she seemed to be in a fragile condition while sitting quietly at a table. I rose to my feet and moved excitedly toward her，“You work at the library! You once showed me I Capture the Castle! I’m a writer now! That’s still my favorite book!” The woman paused and smiled kindly, with a blank expression on her face. But then she tipped her head. I at once realized that it was her age or mental condition that had kept her from understanding me. After a while, she rose slowly and a nurse accompanied her towards the door. As I watched her go, I wondered how many lives we change without realizing what we do is significant. For all that woman had really done was lend me a book. But it had captured my world.2. How does the author describe the librarian’s walk when they first met? A She walked with elegance. B She walked with pride. C She walked with calmness. D She walked with dignity. E F

19.[单选题]Which of the following might be the second paragraph among the three options?（） A I was about 6 years. My mom’s best friend left to another town and asked my mom to stay at her place with me for two days in order to look after her two sons. One was a little older then I was, and the second boy appeared to be super grown-up for he was already fourteen. I always enjoyed staying at their place – a lot of toys, a lot of space, video games – everything a child needs to free the most sincere smile. I remember the second day we were supposed to have the com-back party for my mom’s friend at here place…I wike up..Mom went to work and reminded me to be nice and clean by the time she will come back with the guests. I stayed with Tony, the older of the boys and suddenly somebody called him and though he was not permitted to leave me alone – he left. He said he will not be long….but it took him forever…I realized that I am alone… I cannot come out of the house…so I opened the window and thought that I was joking. And I was so desperate…so lonely...so betrayed… at that moment I pulled the curtain so strongly that I fell on the floor..And there I was standing – one little criminal...Desperate to escape and knowing that I will be punished for destroying the curtain that was not even ours…. B It is obvious that all of our childhood memories are not accidental… When you are a child ever scent, every sound, every move, every toy, the first day of school, the first kiss, the first step..Everything together makes what is the personality of a man. All these are pieces of one whole entity. I was sitting and thinking –which of the memories I have is the brightest and most emotional for me….Is it the day when I stayed home alone for the first time? Is it the day when I was so disappointed with the Christmas gift I got? Or maybe when I broke grandma’s favorite vase and put it back together with glue? I was thinking about good memories and bad memories…moments of tears and moments of innocent joy. From one memory to another my heart started to feel strange and I felt really strange – like I was in a completely another dimension which exists only in my head. And then..BANG! I got it so clear that I started shivering… C But then something changed…I stopped wining…looked around and realized that I am in a safe place… that mom will come back and kiss me no matter what I have done. This was a moment of pure happiness…not the happiness of getting a new toy…or a dog..a going to the party of your best friend..It was the moment of clarity for me...the first time in my life when I realized that I am happy to have my mom and that I am safe. My eyes saw the world in different shades that moment. And by the way – I was not punished for the curtain… I felt asleep on my mom’s knees. D \

20.“Mom, can I have some money?” those are the words my mother used to hear all the time. In return, I heard, “why don’t you get a job? Not to make the happy, but so that you have your own money and gain a bit more responsibility.” So last year I got a job working about 25 hours a week. For $5 an hour, working as a salesman in a photo studio.After I got this job, I had to do football, homework and job ( ) . It was really hard for me.

I told them it was for the things I need, when actually it was or the things I wanted. Needing and wanting are different. Needing something is like your only shoes have holes in them. But wanting is to have every new brand sneaker just because you like it. I start to think about if I did a wrong thing. Slowly, I learnt to( ) my money better so that I could have more time for school and football.
