13、sit your mom.”Things started well, but just after eight oclock, his three little “good kids”-Mike, Randy, and Alex-came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted “breakfast, daddy.” When food had not appeared within thirty seconds, Randy began using his spoon on Alexs head (23) _ _ it were
14、a drum. Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat. Mike chanted “Wheres my toast, wheres my toast” in the background. Brad realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.Life became worse after breakfast. Mike wore Randys underwear on his head. Randy locked (24) _ in the bathroom
15、, while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants. Nobody could find clean socks, but they (25) _ (be) before their very eyes.

Note that there is one word more than you need.Some people seem to have talents for learning languages. They
19、 can pick up new vocabulary, master roles of grammar, and learn to write in the new language more quickly than others. Now lets take a _31_ look at these successful language learners to see what we can get from them. First of all, successful language learners are independent learners. Instead of _32
20、_ for the teacher to explain, they try to find the patterns and the roles for themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues and reach their own _33_. When they guess _34_ they try again. They attempt to learn from their mistakes. Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, su
21、ccessful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language; they look for such a chance. They are not afraid to _35_ what they hear or to say strange things; they are willing to make mistakes and try again. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is _36_ or incomplete.
22、It is more important for them to think in the language than to know the meaning for every word. Finally, successful language learners are learners with a_37_. They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is _38_ for them to learn the lan
23、guage in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them. What kind of language learners are you? If you are successful, you have probably been learning _39_, actively, and purposefully. On the other hand, if your language learning has been less than successful, you might do well to tr
24、y some of the _40_ outlined above.III Reading ComprehensionSection A (15分) Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.What Determines our Quality of LifeIt is not so m

27、 the money and possessions in the world may have a miserable life, _46_ another in the lowest income classes may _47_ love their life. It is what we do with what we own that _48_ our level of satisfaction and joy in life. Its not what you _49_ or what happens to you in life that _50_, but rather wha
28、t you do with it.Every _51_, something is happening in our lives. And every moment, we _52_ or a judgment about what happens. By choosing to become more _53_ of how we react to what happens, we can shift towards what we really want in our lives. Rather than following habitual, reactive patterns whic
29、h lead to more of the same, we can recognize and transform our old habits to move powerfully in the _54_ of creating the life we really want. Yet to do this, we must first find the courage to look at some of the disempowering（失去权利）, often unconscious pattern which get in the way and dont serve to in
