In a world where comparisons happen non-stop, it is difficult to look outside yourself and to ever be 21 with who you are. There’s always someone who’s a bit 22 . The only solution is to reach 23 and measure against what Warren Buffett calls your own inner yardstick. There is no more 24 measure for comparison than who your were yesterday, last week or last decade, when you were at your 25 .
Nothing useful ever comes from comparison to others. Either you see yourself as better than someone and you get 26 , or you see someone else as better than you and you feel like all your hard work is for 27 . It is a fool’s game. Not one of us is exactly 28 . The only direct and honest comparison is 29 yourself. Everything else is apples to oranges.
My opinion is that you are only 30 to compare yourself to someone else if their life 31 is the same as your own. Good luck finding that 32 . And one thing is for sure. No matter how hard you work and how dedicated（埋头苦干的）you are, there will always be someone who can run a little faster, jump a little higher, score a little better or look a little nicer in a swimsuit. And if there’s not, you can 33 someone is coming up fast 34 you. So how can you always win in life? Become your best 35 .
Having an image of your most recent past limits is the perfect thing to 36 you to the next level. If you ran 7 flights of stairs yesterday, then do 8 today. Who 37 if the guy next to you did 15? It doesn’t make a bit of 38 . You are a more 39 person today than you were yesterday. Your own 40 is all you need.
21. A. patient B. strict C. content D. concerned
22. A. stronger B. better C. lazier D. wiser
23. A. inside B. out C. for D. up
24. A. accurate B. useful C. careful D. powerful

第二部分：阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分）
第一节：阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项， 并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。
A
A new book written by a Chinese American on her super-strict parenting - "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother" has raised fierce debates in theUS.
Amy Chua is aYaleLawSchoolprofessor and the mother of two teenage girls. She is the daughter of Chinese immigrants. In the Chinese culture, the tighter represents strength and power. In her book, Ms. Chua writes about how she demanded excellence from her daughters. Chua writes that her daughters, Sophia and Louisa, were never allowed to go on a date, be in a school play, watch TV or play computer games. They couldn't choose their own after-class activities or get any grade less than an A. They had to play piano or violin - and no other musical instruments.
She writes that if a Chinese child gets a B - which she says "would never happen" - there would be "a screaming, hair-tearing explosion." She describes making her 7-year-old daughter play a piano piece perfectly - yelling and not letting her leave the bench even to use the bathroom - until it was.
Many people have criticized Amy Chua. Some say her parenting methods were abusive. She even admits that her husband, who is not Chinese, objected to her parenting style. But she says that was the way her parents raised her and her three sisters.
Stacy Debroff, who has written four books on parenting, says Amy Chua’s parenting style is not limited to Chinese families. She says it represents a traditional way of parenting among immigrants seeking a better future for their children. But she also sees a risk. When children have no time to be social or to follow their own interests, they might not develop other skills that they need to succeed in life. Stacy Debroff advises parents not to just repeat the way they were raised.
Alison Lo, an assistant professor of marketing at theUniversityofWashington's Bothell campus, said. "I don't think Amy is advocating a best practice of parenting style, or that success and achievements are critical yardsticks of a good life. But I can imagine how strong her daughters' college applications are going to be. For many parents whose dreams are seeing their kids graduating from a competitive university, Amy is sharing with the readers that it is achievable by persistent, dedicated parental guidance," Lo said. "In that sense, a young adult's giftedness can be born, or made."
41. We can learn that Amy Chua is _________.
A. an assistant professor B. an easy-going woman
C. A cruel teacher D. A demanding mother
42. What are Sophia and Louisa allowed to do?
A. Getting an A minus B. Playing the guitar
C. Dating with boys D. Playing the piano
43. What do you know about Amy Chua’s husband?

C. He approved of her parenting style D. He thinks her parenting methods are abusive
44. Stacy Debroff advises parents to ________.
A. follow Amy Chua’s parenting style
B. develop their own style of parenting
C. be strict with children
D. seek a better future for their children
45. Alison Lo concludes that ___________.
A. a teenager can be raised to be a talent
B. a gifted child was born with talent
C. persistent, dedicated parental guidance is the best parenting style

For generations of students, writing term papers has been a major source of nerves and frustration. But for those with Internet access, relative resources are just a few links away. All one has to do is to go to the appropriate Web site, where online papers can either be purchased, ordered, or downloaded for free.
Collegiate Care Research Assistance, for instance, may do the job. Do you want to "write" a paper on "Hamlet’s irreconcilable moral dilemmas"? Simply hand over $29.75, and the essay is yours.
Some sites, such as Term Paper Emporium and Absolutely Free: Online Essays offer course papers for free. Simply press the button and download — if you find the paper you want, that is.
Students are, of course, fully aware of these web site resources, and some people worry that the Internet, once regarded as a best learning tool, could become the best aid yet for cheating.
For teachers, the problem is figuring out whether a student’s authorship is authentic. But, as teaching assistant Jane Morrison explained, the task may not be too difficult for a careful teacher.
"Students who have gotten it off the Internet don’t look at me but look at their feet. And students who wrote every bit of it can talk about the paper very intelligently and look me in the eye," Morrison said.
Copying term papers is nothing new, but the appearance of the Internet raises the issue: Is this new technology making cheating more widespread?
A senior official Gary Handman atBerkeleydoubts it. "Students who tend to cheat are going to cheat regardless of the technology.
This view was backed byBerkeleygraduate student Arianne Chernock, who says that, after all, students have to decide what’s best for themselves. "It’s a question of honesty. We’re here to learn, so we’ve got to make the most of it ourselves."
And inventive teachers can make their assignments almost cheat-proof.
"If you structure the assignment in a creative way, and if students, for instance, have to transform the information into a handout, or do a drama, or write an account in first person narrative, then you may stop cheating," said library media teacher Leslie Farmer.
That kind of strategy, some experts say, will basically force students to do more than simply download their education.
50. In the past students __________________.
A. were happy about writing term papers
B. were eager to write term papers
C. considered paper writing as a joy
D. considered paper writing as a source of stress
51. What do some people worry about according to Paragraph 4?
A. They worry that students might become lazier
B. They worry that students might lose their interest in learning
C. They worry that the Internet could become the best tool for cheating
D. They worry that the Internet could become the best learning tool.
52. According to Paragraph 6, students feel _______ copying papers from the Internet.
A. guilty about B. excited when C. anxious about D. uncertain about
53. What did Gary Handman argue in Paragraph 8?
A. Students tend to cheat
B. The new technology made cheating more widespread
C. The new technology helped students in the way of cheating
D. He was doubtful whether the new technology made cheating more widespread
54. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the report?
A. A careful teacher doesn’t have too much trouble finding out whether a student’s term paper is a copy or not
B. Copying term papers is a serious issue that makes teacher weak
C. It seems that copying term papers is unavoidable for some students who tend to cheat
D. Arranging assignments in a creative way could be a solution to the problem of copying term papers.

"Coming to the football match this afternoon?" Bill McIntosh asked 59-year-old Royce Wedding as they drank beer at the Eureka Hotel in the Australian town ofRainbow. Royce shook his head. "I promised Mom I'd burn off the weeds on one of our fields."
Bill, looking far less than his 79 years, looked outside at the heat. A light breeze was blowing from the north, making conditions perfect for the burn. But Bill felt uneasy about Royce doing the job alone. The farmer had a bad leg and walked with great difficulty.
The pair had been best of friends for 30 years, ever since the days when they traveled together from farm to farm in search of work. Now, living alone 12 miles east of town, Bill managed a living hunting foxes and rabbits. Once a fortnight he went to town to buy supplies and meet with Royce, who helped run the Wedding family's farm. "I'll give you a hand," Bill said.
The pair set off in Royce's car. Soon they came to the weed-choked 120-acre field. "Fire's the only way to get rid of this stuff," said Bill as they tied an old tire to the tow bar(牵引杆)with a 50-foot chain. Soaking the tire with gasoline, Bill put a match to it and jumped in the car.
Driving slowly from the southern edge of the field, they worked their way against the wind, leaving a line of burning weeds in their wake. Half way up the field, and without warning, the car was stuck into a hidden bank of sand.
The breeze suddenly swung around to their backs and began to gather strength. The fire line suddenly burst into a wall of flame, heading directly toward them. "Let's get out of here!" Royce said.
Desperately he tried to back the car out of the sand bank. But the wheels only sunk deeper in the soft sand.
Suddenly the fire was on them. Bill pushed open his door only to find himself thrown up into the air as, with a roar, the gasoline tank exploded and the car leapt three feet off the ground. When it crashed back down Royce found himself pinned against the steering wheel, unable to move. The car's seats and roof were now on fire.
Bill lay where he fell, out of breath. The front of his shirt, shorts, bare arms and legs were soaked in burning gasoline. Then the sight of the car in flames brought him upright with a start. "Royce!" he cried, struggling to his feet and heading for the car.
Pulling open the door, he seized Royce's arms through the smoke. "I'm stuck," Royce said. "Get yourself away!"
The fire bit at Bill's arms, face and legs, but he caught a tight hold on Royce. "I'm not leaving you here," he said.
Now Bill dug his heels into the sand and pulled as hard as he could. Suddenly he fell backward. Royce was free and out of the car. As soon as he had dragged him away he patted out the flames on Royce's body and on his own legs and arms with his bare hands.
Royce saw a second explosion rock the car, as it was eaten up by flames. “I’d be ashes now if Bill hadn't gotten me out,” he thought. Looking down, Royce was shocked by the extent of his injuries. His stomach and left hip were covered in deep burns. Worse still, his fingers were burned completely out of shape.
Lying on his back, Bill was in equally bad shape. Pieces of blackened flesh and skin hung from his forearms, hands and legs.
Bill looked across at his friend. Reading the despair clouding Royce's face, Bill said, "I'll get help. You hang on." Royce nodded, but as he watched Bill set off slowly across the blackened field, he wondered how his friend was going to walk almost two miles and get over three fences.
A lifetime spent around the tough people who make their home in the Australian bush had permanently fixed into Bill's soul two principles: never give up no matter how bad the odds and never let a friend down. Now, with every step sending pain piercing through every part of his body, he drew on those twin pillars of character. If I don't make it, Royce will die out there, he told himself over and over.
"What's the matter with that dog?" said Vicky Wedding, Royce's mom, looking out of her window. Frightened by a noise behind her, she turned to see Bill leaning against the door.
"Dear God, what happened?" she exclaimed, as Bill slid down the doorframe.
"We got caught in the fire," he whispered, barely able to speak. "Get help." Vicky sat Bill down, covered him in wet towels to ease the pain of his burns, and then picked up the phone.
Throughout the hour-and-a-half ride to the hospital in Horsham, neither of the two injured men spoke of their pain. "We should've gone to the football match," Royce said, trying to keep their spirits up. Bill smiled weakly.
Not long after Bill found himself at Government House being presented with the Bravery Medal for his courageous rescue. But the real highlight for Bill came six months after the fire, when Royce, just out of hospital, walked into the Eureka Hotel and bought him a beer.
"We made it," said Royce as they raised their glasses. "Here's to the best friend a man could have."

Nowadays，people in many big cities are complaining the heavy traffic. It has serious
influenced people daily life and economic development. To solve the problem，some pieces
of advice is put forward. Some people suggest that more streets and roads are built. By this
way，the traffic density can be reduced, thus speeding up the flow of buses and cars.
Some people advise limiting the number of bikes and cars. This can decrease the traffic
flow. But on the other hand, this will effect the consumption and makes buses more crowded.
In my opinion，the number of private cars should be put under the control. And at the same time，
buses should have their own special routes cannot be used by other vehicles.
