When are you leaving? W: Next Friday, and I am excited. But there are still a few thing I need to do before I go. M: Like what? W: Picking up my passport, going to the travel agency to buy my plane ticket and finding out what I should do with my flat while I39。m gone. M: The flat is really a problem. It39。s hard to find another one around. What do you plan to do? W: I39。m looking for someone who will rent my house while I39。m away. M: Mm. Let me think. I know just the person. A former college classmate of mine, Jim Thomas is ing to do some research this summer, from June to August. W: That39。s exactly when I39。ll be away. That sounds great. M: I39。ll call Jim this weekend anyway, so I39。ll mention it to him then. W: Thanks a lot. Please let me know what happens. Text 10 W: My favourite subject at school was maths. I enjoyed solving problems, and was interested in teaching methods. But most of my friends found maths very difficult, and because they thought it was a useless subject they saw no need for working at it. Maths was, in fact, the least popular subject in our class. During my last year at school our maths teacher39。s child was seriously ill and she had to stay with him in the hospital for two weeks. Some students became very worried about their maths exam results. Each evening, I gave lessons to three of my friends, so that they would have a chance of passing their examination. I was patient, and got good at explaining things to people, and the lessons went well. My three friends and I all passed the examination. Their parents offered to pay me for the lessons, but I refused. I was sorry for my teacher. I did not think it would be fair if I took the money for doing my teacher39。s job. 答案： 1－ 5 CABCA 6－ 10 BCBAC 11－ 15 BACBC 16－ 20 ABBAC 第二部分 閱讀理解 (共兩節(jié)，滿分 40 分 ) 第一節(jié) (共 15小題；每小題 2分，滿分 30分 ) 閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng) (A、 B、 C和 D)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。 A Holidays Holiday News Vacancies(空位 ) now and in the school holidays at a country hotel in Devon.

You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner39。s key to success. Winners are great at overing problems. For example， if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers， so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person ， or don39。t rely on the person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well. This is what being a winner is all about— creatively using your skills and talents so th
