【題目】Bob Dylan, the 75-year-old rock legend received the Nobel Prize for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition. Sara Danius, permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy, said Dylan had been chosen because he was a great poet in the English speaking tradition.

Dylan, born on May 24, 1941 is an American songwriter, singer, artist, and writer. He has been influential in popular music and culture for more than five decades. Much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s. Early songs such as Tangled up in Blue, Blowing in the Wing and The Times Are a-Changing became anthems（頌歌）for the American civil fights and anti-war movements. Leaving behind his initial base in the American folk music revival（復(fù)興）, his six-minute single Like a Rolling Stone, recorded in 1965, enlarged the range of popular music.

Dylan’s lyrics（歌詞）include a wide range of political, social, philosophical, and literary features. His recording career, spanning more than 50 years, has explored the traditions in American song---from folk, blues, and country to rock and roll, and rockabilly to English, Scottish, and Irish folk music, embracing even jazz and the Great American Songbook. Dylan performs with guitar, keyboards, and harmonica. Backed by a changing lineup of musicians, he has toured steadily since the late 1980s on what has been called the Never Ending Tour. His accomplishments as a recording artist and performer have been central to his career, but songwriting is considered his greatest contribution.

Since 1994, Dylan has published six books of drawings and paintings, and his work has been exhibited in major art galleries. As a musician, Dylan has sold more than 100 million records, making him one of the best-selling artists of all time. He has also received numerous awards including eleven Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe Award, and an Academy Award. In May 2012, Dylan received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Obama.

【題目】My favorite English teacher could draw humor out of the driest material. It wasn’t forced on us either. He took Samuel Johnson’s dictionary, Addison’s essays, and many other literary wonders from the eighteenth century and made them funny, even at eight o’clock in the morning. The thing that amazed me most was that the first time I read these works on my own some of them seemed dead, but the second time, after his explanation, I couldn’t believe that I hadn’t seen the humor. The stories and poems and plays were suddenly filled withhilariousmoments. I learned more from him than from any other teacher.

My least favorite English teacher also made people laugh. Some students found him to be wonderfully funny. Many others did not. He asked us to keep journals. At the end of the six weeks I had a notebook full of bits and pieces about my ideas, short stories, reactions to what we had read, and so on. Our teacher announced that we would be grading each other’s journals. Mine was passed to Joe, who always behaved in a funny or silly way. He saw it fit to make a joke of and said, “This writing isn’t fit to line the bottom of a birdcage.” Our teacher laughed at that funny remark. It hurt me so much that the anger from it has driven away my writing and teaching ever since.

So what makes the difference? Humor is one of the most powerful tools teachers or writers have. It can build up students and classes and make them excited about literature and writing, or it can tear them apart. It is true that humor is either productive or self-defeating.

【1】The passage mainly discusses _____.

A. teaching B. literature

C. knowledge D. humor

【2】The underlined word “hilarious” in Paragraph 1 probably means _____.

A. inspiring B. tiring

C. funny D. brilliant

【3】With his favorite English teacher, the writer found it most amazing that _____.

A. his teacher was very learned

B. his teacher was very humorous

C. few were able to find humor in works by Johnson and others

D. the works by Johnson and Addison were very humorous

【4】The English teacher the writer disliked most _____.

A. was not able to make students laugh B. had no sense of humor

C. didn’t let his students do the grading D. hurt his students’ feelings

【題目】Test anxiety can be a real problem if you’re so stressed out over a test that you can’t get past the nervousness to focus on the test questions and do your best work. Feeling ready to meet the challenge can keep test anxiety at a manageable level.

Be prepared. Some students think that going to class is all it takes to do well on tests. 【1】 You will find your test anxiety eases when toy start to study more regularly.

【題目】Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

Kick Your Way To Success

No man in the world does not desire success. Actually every path to success starts with a great idea. There’s only one problem: good ideas are everywhere. When successful, what really matters is not having an idea, but having the courage to make it a reality. This usually means losing the sense of security of a normal job and the risk of getting a steady salary.

Even with a great idea and the courage to pursue it, your efforts will be worthless unless you are willing to take massive action. Write down your goals and the action steps you will take to pursue those goals. 【1】 Share it with others, so they will hold you accountable for achieving your plan. Make yourself responsible and master of your destiny.

Without passion, even the greatest vision will become weaker. Without passion, your energy and enthusiasm will flag when you meet with inevitable obstacles. 【2】

It’s the force allowing you to devote every moment of your workday to bring you closer to the success you are eager to.

Once you’ve made a decision, doubt is a worm that eats away at your ability to succeed. Life and work can be hard and even cruel. Remember, the race is not for the swift but rather those who persevere. Rather than allowing doubt to affect your progress, you should be confident in your vision and plan. 【3】

The old sayings of “no one is an island” and “there is a powerful man” may sound a bit old, but they don’t make them unreal. 【4】 Meeting regularly can be positive and provide new perspectives on your approach. The Internet makes it very easy to find a coach, an instructor, or a planning group that can provide the emotional support, experience, and wisdom to help turn your vision into reality.

A. Make your passion a physical trait of your personality.

B. Post your vision and plan in your bedroom, bathroom, office.

C. However, taking the easy way of dishonesty has a tendency to sneak back up on you.

D. In the process, adapt to your needs, but know that success will ultimately be yours.

E. Even with self-discipline, in the long run, you’ll need contact with spiritual leaders.

F. In the end, it causes far more problems than taking the risk of telling the truth.

【題目】閱讀下面短文, 根據(jù)其內(nèi)容寫(xiě)一篇 60 詞左右的內(nèi)容概要。

Before a child starts school, his or her main role models are his or her parent or caregiver. Parents or caregivers with high self-esteem( 自尊) typically model this to the children, who will gradually pick up these ideas. Those who are influenced by negativity（否定性，消極態(tài)度), even if the negativity is not towards them, will often take the same way of thinking, leading to low self-esteem in childhood.

Continual praise for a child’s achievements plays a large part in a child’s view of himself or herself. Praising a child for acting as expected or something good often encourages him or her to repeat the same action and forms a sense of self-worth. Empty praise, however, can have the opposite（相反的）effect. A child who is praised for anything will stop believing the words, and the empty praise will have little effect on self-esteem in childhood or possibly a negative effect.

Providing a child with responsibilities based on his or her abilities is also important in the development of self-esteem in childhood. Making a child feel like a helpful member of a family or group, whether at home or school, helps to form a higher sense of confidence in his or her abilities. However, giving a child unfit responsibilities or tasks can do no good to the development of high self-esteem in childhood.

Each person has strengths and weaknesses. A child can build up his or her confidence level when he/she is encouraged to take part in activities ,which can provide him or her with chances to work on weaknesses(缺點(diǎn)) in a helpful environment . Children who are given the opportunities to use their unique skills to help others or improve themselves have higher self-esteem than those who are not given the same chances or who are pushed into activities that they do not enjoy or do not have an ability to do.
