An emperor was almost eighty years old and knew it was time to choose his successor(接班人). Instead of choosing one of his children, he decided on something different. He called all of the young people in the kingdom together one day. He said, “It is time for me to choose the next emperor. I have decided to choose one of you.”
The kids were shocked! But the emperor continued, “I am going to give each one of you a seed today. One special seed. I want you to plant it and come back one year later with what you have grown from this seed. I will then judge the plants, and the one I choose will be the next emperor!”
One boy named Ling received a seed like the others. He went home and planted the seed in a pot, watering it carefully. Every day he would water it and watch to see if it had grown. After about three weeks, some of the other youths began to talk about their plants that were beginning to grow. Ling kept checking his seed, but nothing ever grew.
A year finally went by and all the youths brought their plants to the emperor. Ling thought he should be honest about what had happened. So he took his empty pot to the palace. When Ling arrived, he was amazed at the plants grown by other youths. They were beautiful, in all shapes and sizes.
When the emperor arrived, he surveyed the room and greeted the young people. Ling just tried to hide in the back. Suddenly, the emperor spotted Ling at the back of the room with his empty pot. He ordered his guards to bring him to the front. Ling was terrified. When Ling got to the front, the Emperor asked his name. “My name is Ling,” he replied. All the kids were laughing and making fun of him. The emperor asked everyone to quiet down. He looked at Ling, and then announced to the crowd, “Behold your new emperor! His name is Ling!” Then the emperor said, “One year ago today, I gave you all boiled seeds which would not grow. 24. Why did the emperor decide to choose his successor? A. He was growing old.
B. He was tired of his position. C. He wanted to do different things. D. He wanted to do some tests.
25. Whom will the emperor consider to choose from as his successor in his country?
A. His children. B. All of his relatives.
C. All the young people. D. The bravest fighters. 26. What can we infer from the passage?
A. The other youths felt angry about what Ling had done. B. Ling destroyed his seed by boiling it in the hot water. C. Ling was afraid of being punished for his failure in planting. D. The one who planted the most beautiful plant would be the king. 27. From the text we know that Ling was ______.
A. clever B. honest C. famous D. energetic

He is not just a classical music superstar. He is a global superstar. Only 27 years old, the Chinese pianist Lang Lang has become an inspiration to tens of millions around the world.
Among his dazzling long list of titles, Lang considered UNICEF goodwill ambassador the most special one.
\"Being a UNICEF goodwill ambassador is the best decision I have made and will definitely be the best experience in my life,\" Lang said in a recent interview with inhua at the UN headquarters in New York. \"I love children very much, and playing piano for them is my favorite,\" Lang said, beaming with delight.
Named this year by Time magazine as one of the 100 World's Most Influential People, the pianist said he hoped music could \"bring children happiness and enlighten their life.\"
Three months after his nomination (提名), Lang went to Tanzania with the UNICEF team to visit children threatened by malaria(疟疾) and AIDS.
Although the southeastern African country's underdevelopment and harsh living conditions surprised Lang who landed the continent for the first time, he was touched by local children's passion for music.
\"Most of the kids had never seen a piano before,\" Lang said. \"When I played Chopin's nocturne or waltz to them, those who were too shy to talk to me suddenly became active and began to share with me about their dreams. How amazing it is!\" \"Music can bring hopes to the kids and open their mind,\" he said.
Following his visit to Africa, Lang began to organize fundraising concerts for children. Now it has become his routine to do 15 to 20 fundraising concerts every year.
Except for his efforts on fundraising, Lang also established his own international music foundation last year to assist young talents to play piano.
So far Lang has chosen five children from the United States and Germany, providing them with scholarships and opportunities to perform at world-class music halls, he said.
In December, he will start the selection in China where he would like to \"focus more on physically challenged kids, like blind kids.\" 28. The best title of the passage is______.
A. Lang Lang and His Music B. UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador C. An Unforgettable Visit to Africa D. Lang Lang’s Fundraising Concerts 29. As a UNICEF goodwill ambassador, Lang Lang’s work is mainly to ______. A. help children who are in great need
B. hold more concerts for children in the world
C. assist young talents from different countries play piano D. create more beautiful music for the people of the world 30. Why did Lang Lang go to Africa 3 months after his nomination? A. To finish his plan of global performance. B. To experience the local music there
C. To help those children facing serious diseases. D. To create new music of different styles. 31. What moved Lang most when in Africa?
A. The poverty of Africa. B. Children’s passion for music.
C. Children’s gifts for music. D. The deadly diseases in Africa.
D
Nobody can avoid making a mistake at some point in their life. We might as well accept that something will go wrong and we will be to blame. It is therefore wise to work out some strategies for apologizing, and the best way to apologize is by letter.
We all say or do something that we wish we hadn’t said or done. You may say something that accidentally hurts someone, or you may provide a service which doesn’t come up to the standards that a client or customer expected. You may feel that it was a genuine mistake which couldn’t
be avoided. Rather than dwell on the mistake, you should quickly try to remedy(补救) the problem. An effective letter of apology is an important part of that process.
For the content of the letter, just remember TABS-Timing, Action, Briefness, Sincerity. The time of a letter of apology is important-it must be sent as soon as possible. Any delay in sending the letter will only worsen the problem. In this case “Better late than never” is not the best motto! The longer you wait before writing a letter of apology, the more it will seem that you have been forced into writing it.
Although it is important to recognize what has gone before, it is also essential to detail the action you plan to take to correct whatever you did wrong.
A letter of apology should be brief and the word “sorry” should appear no more than twice. Indicate that you are aware you are using it a second time “once again, I am so sorry for…” or “as I said earlier, I am really sorry about…” 32. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. Advice on making fewer mistakes. B. Strategies for making an apology.
C. Advice on writing a letter of apology. D. Importance of a timely letter of apology.
33. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means you ______. A.
don’t
have
to
take
the
mistake
you
made
seriously B. don’t waste time worrying about what happened C. forget about what happened D. analyze who was at fault
34. What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A. It’s important to apologize timely. B. A mistake is not always easy to clear. C. People are always unwilling to apologize. D. People should think twice before apologizing. 35. What will be discussed following the last paragraph? A. The sincere tone of the letter. B. The proper length of the letter.
C. An apology email, choice of the 21 century. D. The importance of saying “sorry” more than twice. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10 分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
You already know that you should wake up early to become more productive, and perhaps you have also heard that you shouldn’t check your email first in the morning. While this advice is good and well-documented, there is also another kind of productivity advice that is as effective as well. 36
1. Work when there is a distraction(分心) around
Your environment doesn’t have to be 100% quiet if you want to get work done. Let’s say that you are working from home and you have kids. Let’s also assume that you don’t have a quiet workspace in your home to do your work. Naturally, you could decide to do work during the quiet hours. 37 .
2. Drink coffee before taking a nap
38 Then take a caffeine nap. Combining coffee and napping time can have a big improvement in one’s personal productivity. Drink a cup of coffee, take a 20-minute nap right afterward and wake-up refreshed.
3. 39
It’s so funny to think that the places that seem like the last ones in which to get anything done are the best for productivity. I’m talking about trains and when I travel alone, I look forward to getting work done there. In fact, I have done a lot of work during my trips when I’m moving from one place to another.
4. Close the curtains
Closing the curtains can improve your productivity. I might do some work at the dining table where there is a window to the left of me. Since I can see the nearby parking space through the window (and the people and moving cars as well), the movement might catch my attention, so the simplest way to prevent the distraction is to close the curtains. 40
A. Work in a train.
B. Focus on one thing at a time.
C. Have a mobile Internet access with you. D. But not all of the tasks have to be done then.
st
E. Try these tips and see how they work for you. F. Want to improve your afternoon productivity? G. That way I can put all of my attention to my work.

Hello, everyone. As a senior high school student, I always feel busy. You see, apart from my regular school hours on weekdays, I even have classes during weekends. I spend most of my time on study. However, I can still spare some time to do things I like. I have about one hour to do sports everyday. Usually I surf the Internet to relax myself after meals. But sometimes I spend too much time playing computer games, which has wasted a lot of my precious time. Now I’m well conscious that time is life. Lost time can never be found. As I’m still young, I should make better use of my time to gain more knowledge and skill so that I won’t be regretful in the future.
