第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

A

When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings. Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I was not a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to bear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.

He listened to me quietly, and then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”

I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I went to a fairly clear picture of myself.

I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”

Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.

21. What does “Week by week her list grew” mean?

A. She made a list of my shortcomings and kept on adding new ones so it was growing longer and longer.

B. Week by week she discovered more shortcomings of mine and pointed them out to me.

C. I was having more and more shortcomings as time went on.

D. Week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious.

22. What did the father do after he had heard his daughter’s complaint（抱怨）?

A. He told her not to pay any attention to what her “enemy” had said and just do what she wanted to do.

B. He criticized (批评) her and told her to overcome her shortcomings.

C. He told her to write down all her “enemy” had said and pay attention only to the things that were true.

D. He refused to take the list and want to have a look at it.

23. Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?

A. Not an Enemy, but the Best Friend B. The Best Advice I’ve Ever Had

C. My Father D. My Childhood

Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants.

Sometimes, the word green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet ripe or finished. A greenhorn is someone who has no experience. who is new to a situation. But in the fifteenth century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose home had not yet developed. A century or so later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battle. By the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today--a person who is new in a job.

Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. The expression comes from the early nineteen hundreds. A person, with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.

The green-eyed monster is not a frightening creature from outer space, It is an expression used about four hundred years ago by British writer William Shakespeare in his play Othello." It describes the unpleasant feeling
