"I can't believe what I’m hearing!" I thought to myself. Jeff was the last candidate (候選人) for president of Student Council. My best friend Tony came to me and said, “I’m sorry, Mike, I really thought you should be _ 36_ ."

Later that day, I happened to pass Jeff in the dining room. I offered him a 37 "congratulations" and walked to my usual table. To my surprise, Jeff put his plate beside mine.

"I'm, er—I'm just wandering if you would … consider coming to work on my team," he said 　38 . "You are really smart, and you would he a great manager."

“I don't think so," I replied, feeling unsure.

"Well, if you change your mind, we are meeting tomorrow,” he said before moving to another table.

All right, I thought about the 39 from Jeff. Maybe being a part of the election process ( 選舉過程) would give 　40　 a chance to make important changes at our school. I decided to join them.　

My first goal was to 　 41_ a catchy advertisement. Within a few days, we designed a poster with Jeff's pictures showing him in a number of activities. No one could walk through any hallway 　 42_ passing Jeff's smiling face.

My next step was to 43 which new activities students would like to have at our school. Many of them wanted a chess club and. a volleyball team.

With tile information I had collected, Jeff met with the headmaster. The headmaster 　 44 to add these activities to our school program.

With my help, Jeff and our ideas were well 　 45　 at school.

An eighth grader said, "It'll be like attending a new school with Jeff as president.

Hearing these words made my heart filled with 　46 I had wanted to become president of Student Council to make a difference. I achieved that and more by working as a member of Jeff's team. He became the most popular candidate and I was a large part of his 　47　 . The fact that it has made a difference in other people's lives is the real prize. What a great feeling!

【主旨大意】本文主要講述了體驗幸福的三個秘密。

36. 答案：B解析:詞義辨析，動詞聯(lián)系上下文，上文給出the last candidate(候選人) ，下文對應(yīng)的動詞應(yīng)該是 be chosen，：你應(yīng)該被“當(dāng)選”。

37. 答案：A解析: 形容詞感情色彩+聯(lián)系上下文。由本段出現(xiàn)的第一個形容詞usual 來判斷作者的感情色彩是平淡的，故排除B. loud和D. cheerful選項，由 第二個形容詞surprise 來判斷，作者與Jeff的關(guān)系不是非常親密所以排除C warm選項，跟Jeff說“祝賀”的時候自然是“禮貌”地說。

38. 答案：C解析:根據(jù)前文的“er-，wondering，would...”，都是緊張的表現(xiàn)，可推斷是有點緊張，所以答案選擇C nervously。

39. 答案：D解析: 考查名詞的辨析，Jeff希望“我”能加入他的團(tuán)隊，對“我”來講，這是給“我”提供了一個工作崗位，并非機會chance，選offer。

40. 答案：C解析: 根據(jù)上文主語都是I，所以答案選擇C. me所以是給予我機會。

41. 答案：C解析: :詞義辨析，根據(jù)句意：是想方設(shè)法創(chuàng)造有吸引力的廣告，而不是發(fā)明或印刷，迷惑項是print；廣告也不一定非要印刷，這是其實是“設(shè)計”的意思，只有create一詞可以表示“創(chuàng)作、設(shè)計”的意思。

42. 答案：D解析: 介詞搭配 最能凸顯出 poster 效果的介詞是without 否定介詞與前面的no 相呼應(yīng)，雙重否定表肯定，構(gòu)成：人人都常經(jīng)過的走廊里貼滿了Jeff笑臉的廣告。

43. 答案：D解析: 短語辨析，carry out 實施， try out 嘗試， work out 解決 find out 找出+事實，真相 ，結(jié)合上下文，wanted a chess club and a volleyball team,下文的 collect information，空后是賓語從句：“學(xué)生在學(xué)校里喜歡玩那些活動”，不是“算出，執(zhí)行，實驗”，而是“找出”得出答案為 D。

44. 答案：A解析:根據(jù)上下文，Jeff帶著這些信息去見校長，校長也就“同意”把這些活動加上了。

45. 答案：B 解析: receive 在此表示的是接納并不是我們熟悉的收到，所以此題為難題。

46. 答案：A解析: 我和Jeff的工作得到了他人的認(rèn)可，心中感到自豪和滿足，故答案選擇A。

47. 答案：D 解析: 此題考查句意分析能力。前文說他成了最受歡迎的候選人，接著有連詞and，也就意味著要填的空即是He became the most popular candidate，這樣看來，是Jeff的成功，所以選success。

My summer hols wr CWOT. B4, we usd 2 go 2 NY 2C my bro, his CF & thr 3:-@ kids FTF ILNY, its gr8.

　　Can you understand this sentence? If you can't, don't feel too bad: neither could the middle school teacher in England who received this as homework. This is Netspeak: the language of computerized communication found on Internet or cellphones. To newcomers, it can look like a completely foreign language. So, what is the "translation" of the sentence above? My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three screaming kids face to face. I love New York; it's great.

　　Schoolteachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming（破壞）the English language. Increasing spelling and grammatical mistakes cxan be seen in students' writing. They fear the language could become corrupted（面目全非的）.

　　Everyone should just relax, say linguists（語言學(xué)家）. They believe Netspeak is in fact more of a good thing. David Crystal, from the University of Wales, argues that Netspeak and Internet create a new language use and the almost lost art of diary writing has been picked up again. Geoffrey Nunberg, from Stanford University, agrees. "People get better at writing by writing," he says, "Kids who are now doing text messaging, e-mail, and instant messages will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents."

　　Linguist James Millroy says, for centuries, it is believed without exception that young people are harming the language. And you can bet your bottom dollar that when today's teenagers become tomorrow's parents, they too will think this way. Milroy argues that languages do not and cannot become "corrupted"; they simply change to meet the new needs.

　　However, Netspeakers do agree that it is important to teach young people how to speak and write Standard English. Cynthia McVey says, "I can understand Netspeak worries teachers and it's important that they get across to their pupils that text messaging is for fun, but that learning to write proper English is a must for their future."

　　Perhaps we should give teenagers a little more trust anyway. Erin, age 12, says, "I wouldn't use text language in my homework. Texting is just for fun"

　1.What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?

　　A. To give an example of a foreign language.

　　B. To show an example of creative methods.

　　C. To express worries about using Netspeak.

　　D. To lead in the topic of Netspeak.

　2.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

　　A. Cynthia McVey points out teenagers can deal with Netspeak properly.

　　B. Geoffrey Nunberg believes Netspeakers can write Standard English.

　　C. David Crystal thinks Netspeak helps develop the habit of writing.

　　D. James Milroy says that language is changing and improving.

　　3.The expression "bet your bottom dollar" in Paragraph 5 means ______.

　　A. be fairly sure          B. be greatly surprised

　　C. think it a pity          D. find it interesting

　　4. What can be the best title for the passage?

　　A. Netspeak: A Widely-Used Language on Internet

　　B. Is Netspeak Harming the English Language?

　　C. Is Netspeak Helpful in Language Learning?

　　D. Netspeak: Advantages and Disadvantages
