II完形填空(满分30分)
Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in her life, she might go home and write in her diary. Now, a teenager with 21 problems might go onto the Internet and write about them in a blog(博客). In many ways, a diary and a blog are 22 . But what makes blogging different from writing in a(n) 23 diary?
The biggest difference is that blogging is much more 24 than a diary. Usually,a teenager treats her diary like a book full of 25 that she does not want to 26 .
It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog 27 a diary will probably write nearly the same information.
I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her 28 . She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test.
29 I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but 30 in my diary. Then,after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was 31 that my sister might read it!
The biggest 32 with blogging is that anyone can read
what you write.If I was angry with a friend during high scool and wrote
something 33 about her in my diary ,she would never
know. 34 , if my sister ever wrote something bad
about a friend ,that friend 35 read her blog and get angry.
There are also 36
to blogging, of course. If I was feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary ,“Nobody
cares about me,” 37 would know about it .However ,if my
sister wrote the same sentence in her blog ,her best friends would 38
respond and thell her
how much they 39 her .Blogs help people 40 in contact with their friends and to hear
what the people around them are doing.
21.A.the same B.troublesome C.difficult D.daily
22.A.familiar B.special C.similar D.different
23.A.personal B.ordinary C.dated D.traditional
24.A.attractive B.public C.convenient D.quick
25.A.thoughts B.puzzles C.mysteries D.secrets
26.A.tell B.share C.publish D.solve
27.A.instead of B.as well as C.in favor of D.in spite of

on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took him to catch them.
“Not very long,”answered the Mexican.
“But then, why didn’t you stay out longer and catch more?”asked the American.
The Mexican explained that his small catch was enough to meet his needs and those of his
family.
The American asked ,“But what do you do with the rest of your time?”
<<"I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, and take a short sleep with my wife. In the
evenings, I go into the village to see my friends, have a few drinks, play the guitar, and sing a
few songs . . I have a full life."
The American interrupted, " I can help you! You shouldstart by fishing
longer every day.
You can then sell the extra fish you catch. With the extra income, you can buy a bigger boat."
With the extra money the larger boat will bring, you can buy a second one and buy a third one
and so on . Instead of selling your fish to a middle man, you can trade directly with the plants
and maybe even open your own plant. You can then leave this little village and move to Mexico
City, Los Angeles or even New York City! From there you can direct
your huge companies."
"How long would that take?" asked the Mexican.
"Twenty, perhaps twenty-five years," replied the American.
"And after that?"
"Afterwards? That’s when it gets really interesing,”answered the
Amerian,laughing.

your business gets really big, you can start make millions!"
"Millions? Really? " said the Mexican. “And after that?”

coast, sleep late, play with
your children, catch a few fish, take a short sleep with your wife and spend your evenings
drinking and enjoying your friends."

Jerry was the kind of guy you won’t hate.He was always happy and al-ways had something
positive to say .When someone would ask him how he was doing ,he would reply ,“If I were any
better ,I would be twins!”
He was a special manager because he had several waiters who had followed him around
from restaurant to restaurant .The reason why the waiters followed Jerry was because of his attitude.He was a natural encourager .If an employee was having a bad day ,Jerry was there
telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.
Seeing this really made me curious ,so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him ,“I don’t
get it! You can’t be a positive person all of the time .How do you do it?”
Jerry replied ,“Each morning I wake up and say to myself, ‘Jerry ,you have two choces
today.You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad spirit.’I choose to
be in a good spirit.Life is all about choices. You choose how you react to situations .You choose
how people will affect your spirit. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood .The bottom
line:It’s your choice how you live life.”
I reflected on what Jerry said .Soon thereafter ,I left the restaurant industry to start my own
business.We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of
reacting to it.
Several years later, I heard that Jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a
restaurant business:he left the back door open one morning.and was held up at gunpoint by three
armed robbers .The robbers shot him .Luckily ,Jerry was found quickly and rushed to the
hospital.After 18hours ,Jerry recovered from the hospital.

VI书面表达
Recently ,we have had a discussion in our class about whether parents are our best teachers .Some students agree to the point because they think parents help to point out their mistakes in their lives.They teach them a lot about how to live a meaningful life . What’s more ,parents’ love helps to teach them how to love others .So parents are ther most important teachers.
However ,not all of us hold the same views . Some think that their parents give them too much love ,and they are too eager to pass on their values and interests to them .Morover ,their parents sometimes expect too much of them ,which makes them feel their goals too difficult to reach.
In my opinion,parents are our important teachers .But parents should also try to understand their children more and limit the generation gap.
