The turning point of my life was my decision to give up a promising business career and study music. My parents, although sympathetic, and sharing my love of music, disapproved of it as a profession. This was understandable in view of the family background. My grandfather had taught music for nearly forty years, Though much beloved and respected in the community, he earned barely enough to provide for his large family. As a consequence of this example in the family, the very mention of music as a profession carried with it a picture of a risky existence with uncertain financial rewards. My parents insisted on college instead of a music school, and to college I went-quite happily, as I remember, for although I loved my violin and spent most of my spare time practicing, I had many other interests.
Before my graduation from college, the family met with severe financial reverses and I felt it my duty to leave college and take a job. Thus was I launched upon a business career—which I always think of as the wasted years. Now I do not for a moment mean to disparage (贬低) business. My whole point is that it was not for me. I went into it for money, and aside from the satisfaction of being able to help the family, money is all I got out of it. It was not enough. I felt that life was passing me by.
I continued to make money, and finally, bit by bit, accumulated enough to enable me to go abroad to study music. I resigned from my position and, feeling like a man released from jail, sailed for Europe. I stayed four years, worked harder than I had ever dreamed of working before and enjoyed every minute of it. “Enjoyed” is too mild a word. I walked on air. I really lived. I was a free man and I was doing what I loved to do and what I was meant to do.
If I had stayed in business, I might be a comparatively wealthy man today, but I do not believe I would have made a success of living. I would have given up all those inner satisfactions that money can never buy.
36. The writer’s parents didn’t want him to take a music career mainly because ______.
A. the writer didn’t show much talent in playing music
B. college was a much better option than a music school
C. it seemed an unstable and financially-challenged profession
D. the living conditions of the writer’s parents weren’t good enough
37. What can be learned about the writer’s experience of college
A. The writer enjoyed the fruitful college life.
B. The writer dropped out before graduation.
C. The writer kept playing the violin every day.
D. The writer went to college unwillingly.
38. What was the most important thing the writer achieved from his business career
A. A sense of belonging
B. A considerable fortune
C. The satisfaction of helping others
D. The pride of being a wealthy man.
39. What does the underlined sentence I walked on air. in Paragraph 3 mean
A. I was interviewed by a broadcaster.
B. My music was alive on broadcast.
C. I felt very relaxed indeed
D. I was extremely excited
40. What message does the passage mainly convey
A. Being able to do what one loves is the best kind of life.
B. A success of living depends on one’s adaption to life.
C. One should think twice before he/she makes a decision.
D. Ups and downs make one even stronger.
C
It is widely recognized that self-discipline gives us freedom. Those who can control themselves have the ability to make the best use of their time, thus lost in the joy of freedom while other people suffer from “painful self-discipline”, stuck in a difficult situation where they feel guilty for not being able to complete the missions on their never-ending to-do lists.
But do these pains come from self-discipline Not exactly. The people who are anxious about being so-called self-disciplined masters are actually missing the point of this virtue. It’s not a “the more the better” kind of thing. Rather, it’s the capability to find a complicated balance between work and entertainment, which enables you to work more efficiently and to take control of your life. Thus, there’s no need to push yourself too hard.
As a self-disciplined student, I think I understand the key to easing the sometime painful learning process with all kinds of after-school activities. Self-discipline urges me to set aside adequate time for all of my required schoolwork and to efficiently finish it. What’s more, having a high learning efficiency means that if I am interested in a certain topic in my textbook or the knowledge of a specific field, I can spend more time exploring it in depth, while devoting myself to my own interests. However, each time the bell for the end of class rings, I’m always the first to grab the basketball and dash to the court to enjoy the thrill of a ball game with my friends until the sun sinks below the horizon.
As I said, the real freedom to enjoy a wonderful life is based on self-discipline. And the final aim of self-discipline is to enjoy a wonderful life. Being self-disciplined is about doing the proper thing at the proper time. You have to push yourself under the guidance of self-discipline to achieve high efficiency in your daily routine, But don’t be too tough on yourself because unreasonable time management may drain you of the energy and passion you need to struggle on. Fit in adequate diversions from work within your carefully designed schedule, and I’m sure you can remove the obstacles that stand in your path to the ultimate freedom.
41. How does the author develop Paragraph 1
A. By giving an example.
B. By making a comparison.
C. By analyzing a reason.
D. By presenting a result.
42. What can we know about self-disciplined students in Paragraph 3
A. They have great trouble easing the painful learning process.
B. They can hardly spare time to finish their assignments.
C. They can pursue their hobbies with high learning efficiency.
D. They spend most time enjoying ball games with their friends.
43. What is the ultimate goal of self-discipline in the author’s view
A. To suffer mental pain.
B. To enjoy a happy life.
C. To manage time scientifically.
D. To achieve high efficiency.
44. What does the underlined word “drain” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Exhaust. B. Increase. C. Provide. D. Preserve.
45. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Self-discipline is the key to achieving high efficiency.
B. People should be strict with themselves to be self-disciplined.
C. The pursuit of self-discipline is a painful process.
D. Self-discipline is about finding a balance and leading to real freedom.
第Ⅱ卷 非选择题 (满分25分)
第一节 阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)
阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。
Growing up, I idealized independence. I always wanted my own efforts to be enough. When I decided to pursue a postgraduate degree, I wanted to develop a novel research program and quickly establish myself as an independent scientist. But I was unrealistically optimistic about what I could achieve.
As I began designing experiments, my committee members warned me about the challenges I would face. But my need for independence drove me to push forward with my research plan. As a result, the first four years of my postgraduate career were defined by a series of failures.
During my second year, I failed my comprehensive exam because my proposal was unclear. During my third year, I discovered that after treating thousands of seeds, I obtained just one plant I could use for experiments. By my fourth year, my desperation to succeed overshadowed my desire for independence.
My adviser and I devised a somewhat unusual solution: I would spend three months in a collaborating (合作的) lab to obtain specialized training. I worked extensively with other students, constantly asked questions, and helped with ongoing projects to learn everything I could. Finally, I conducted an elegant experiment that would not have been possible without the help of the members in the lab.
My adviser saw this experience as a groundbreaking success, emphasizing the collaborating skills I acquired. A few months later, when I repeated the experiment in my home lab, I produced more publishable data. By learning when to ask for help, I eventually found myself on the way to becoming an independent scientist.
46. What did the author want to develop according to paragraph 1 (no more than 5 words)
47. In the beginning, what drove the author to push forward with the research plan (no more than 10 words)
48. What was the solution by the adviser and the author after those repeated failures (no more than 15 words)
49. Why did the adviser consider the author’s experience in the lab a groundbreaking success (no more than 10 words)
50. From this story, what can you learn about “independence” (no more than 15 words)

书面表达范文
Dear Sir/ Madam,
I’m Li Hua from No. 7 Senior High School. I am writing this letter because I want to apply for the position of assistant animal protector that is being advertised in our school newspaper.
As I hope to major in biology and animal science in college, this position will help provide me with a reference for my future education. Also, I think it will be meaningful to devote myself to such admirable work.
I believe I am a qualified candidate for this job for a couple of reasons. First, I got my own dog when I was eight years old, which enabled me to gain practical experience in taking care of animals. Also, to better prepare for my future career, I’ve read many books about biology and animal science to acquire professional knowledge. Additionally, I regard myself as a trustworthy and organized person, which means I will commit myself to the work and manage my workload responsibly however difficult it may be.
I would appreciate it if I could talk to you about my application face to face. Please contact me through this email address to set up an interview if you have any further questions. Thank you.
I’m looking forward to your reply!
Yours,
Li Hua
