In the picture,we can see a boy in worn clothes,sitting at a shabby wooden table with a pile of books on it.A weak ray of light came in through a small hole in the wall and he was absorbed in his reading.
This is a well-known story from ancient Chinese idiom.The boy,being poor,couldn't afford even a candle,so he bored a hole in the wall to"steal"light from his neighbor‘s house to read at night.The moral of the story is to spare no effort to acquire knowledge and never get discouraged easily no matter how difficult the situation may be.
Of course,things are totally different today.It is not the story itself but what is reflected in the story that counts.Hard work pays off.We should take pains to improve ourselves through learning and get prepared for the future..

7.London's newest skyscraper (摩天大樓) is called the Shard and it cost about 430 million pounds to build.At a height of almost 310metres,it is the tallest building in Europe.The Shard has completely changed the appearance of London.However,not everyone thinks that it is a change for the better.
The Shard was designed by the famous Italian architect Renzo Piano.When he began designing the Shard for London,Piano wanted a very tall building that looked like a spire (尖頂).He wanted the glass surfaces to reflect the sky and the city.The sides of the building aren't regular.So the building has an unusual shape.It looks like a very thin,sharp piece of broken glass.And that is how the building got the name:the Shard.Piano says that the spire shape of the Shard is part of a great London tradition.The shape reminds him of the spires of the churches of London or the tall masts (桅桿) of the ships that were once on the river Thames.
The Shard has 87floors.At the top,there is an observatory.At the moment the building is empty,but eventually there will be a five-star hotel.There will also be top quality restaurants,apartments and offices.
Before building work began,a lot of people didn't want the Shard though the plans were approved.Now they are still unhappy about the Shard.Some critics say that such a tall skyscraper might be good in a city like New York,but not in London.They say that the best thing about the Shard is its spire shape.But that is the only thing.There is no decoration,only flat surfaces.The Egyptians did that 4,500years ago.They also think the Shard is too big for London.It destroys the beauty of the city.
Other critics don't like what the Shard seems to represent.They say that the Shard shows how London is becoming more unequal.Only very rich people can afford to buy the expensive private apartments and stay in the hotel.But the people who live near the Shard are among the poorest in London.So the Shard seems a symbol of the division in society between the very rich and the poor.
The Shard now dominates the London skyline.It is not certain,however,that ordinary London citizens will ever accept it as a valuable addition to the city.

55.London's newest skyscraper is called the Shard because ofC.
A.its cost
B.its size
C.its shape
D.its height
56.When he designed the Shard,Piano wanted it toB.
A.change London's skyline
B.inherit London's tradition
C.imitate the Egyptian style
D.attract potential visitors
57.The critics who refer to social division think the ShardB.
A.is only preferred by the rich
B.is intended for wealthy people
C.is far away from the poor area
D.is popular only with Londoners
58.Which would be the best title for the passageD?
A.The Shard:Cheers and Claps
B.The Shard:Work of a Great Architect
C.The Shard:New Symbol of London?
D.The Shard:A Change for the Better?

6.A year after graduation,I was offered a position teaching a writing class.Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered,though several of my stories had been published.I accepted the job without hesitation,as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr.Davis.My father went by the same name,and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused."Wait a minute,"someone might say,"are you talking about Mr.Davis the retired man,or Mr.Davis the respectable scholar?"
    The position was offered at the last minute,and I was given two weeks to prepare,a period I spent searching for briefcase (公文包) and standing before my full-length mirror,repeating the words,"Hello,class.I'm Mr.Davis."Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice.Sometimes I would sound experienced.But when the day eventually came,my nerves kicked in and the true Mr.Davis was there.I sounded not like a thoughtful professor,but rather a 12-year-old boy.

"All right then,"I said."Okey,here we go."Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment.I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk,offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day.I had imagined that I would sit at the edge of the desk,overlooking a forests of hands.Every student would yell."Calm down,you'll all get your turn.One at a time,one at a time!"
     A terrible silence ruled the room,and seeing no other opinions,I inspected the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment.

36.The author took the job to teach writing becauseA.
A.he wanted to be expected
B.he had written some storied
C.he wanted to please his father

C.He got nervous upon the arrival of his first class.
D.He waited long for the arrival of his first class.

B.cut maple leaves out of the construction paper
C.cut some cards out of the construction paper
D.write down their names on the paper cards
39.What did the students do when the author started his class?B
A.They began to talk.
B.They stayed silent.
C.They raised their hands.
D.They shouted to be heard.
40.The author chose the composition topic probably becauseA.

13.A wise teacher once told me that every teenager needs to experience a not-so-fun first job from working at a grocery store to the fast food industry.
Now I still remember my first day at a fast food restaurant three years ago.I wanted to save up money and buy my own car,so I applied everywhere I could that summer.The restaurant called me right away and I thought to myself,this is going to be easy.Within four hours of my first shift (輪班),I had angry customers who complained how slow I was.I watched in fear as a kid spilled his milk everywhere,and I heard the words that no 16-year-old boy or anyone for that matter wants to hear"Mike,there's a problem in the men's bathroom and you might want gloves for this one."I realized right away that working at the restaurant was not going to be a picnic.The manager expected a clean environment and particularly,fast service with a friendly smile.
Over three years later I still work at that restaurant whenever I go home during vacations.I love my co-workers there and all the customers know who I am.Every morning the same senior citizens come in and get their morning coffees.They chat with us workers and joke around.Our smiles have just as much to do with them making us a part of their everyday lives as the coffee does.
From my first job at the restaurant,I learned teamwork and devotion.I also learned staying positive no matter how rough things seem to get.I will forever carry the experience that I gained at the restaurant with me as I go forward in my life.

"I'm delighted and amazed at how much media recognition that the Pulitzer brings,as compared to even the National Book Critics Award,which I was also surprised and delighted to win,"said Armantrout.
"For a long time,my writing has been just below the media radar,and to have this kind of attention,suddenly,with my 10th book,is really surprising."

  Armantrout was shocked to learn she had won the Pulitzer but many of her colleagues were not."Rae Armantrout is a unique voice in American poetry,"said Seth Lerer,head of Arts and Humanities at UCSD.
"Versed",published by the Wesleyan University Press,did appear in a larger printing than her earlier works,which is about 2,700copies.The new edition is scheduled to appear in May.
