There is a boy in my gym class (I’ll call him Bill) who has unbearably yellow teeth that almost make everyone feel unpleasant. Recently another boy told Bill that he should “go Ajax” his teeth. Bill was crushed. Had the other boy been thinking, he would have realized that there is a better way to handle such a situation. He could have dealt with it with tact. He could have showed this hurtful truth in a more careful, sensitive way—that’s “tact”.

     If a person isn’t sensitive to another’s feelings, there is no way he or she can be tactful. Yesterday, my 5-year-old brother proudly announced that he had cleaned the screen on our television set. Unfortunately, he used furniture polish(亮光油), which produced an oily film on the television screen. My mother smiled and thanked him for his efforts—and then showed how to clean the screen properly. Her sensitivity enables my brother to keep his self-respect. Yet, sensitivity alone does not make tact.

     “Tactfulness” also requires “truthfulness”. Doctors, for example must be truthful. If a patient has just been disabled in an accident, a tactful doctor will tell the truth—but express it with sensitivity. The doctor may try to give the patient hope by telling them curing techniques under study or about advanced equipment now available. Doctors must use tact with patients relatives as well. Instead of bluntly saying, “Your husband is disabled,” a doctor might say, “I’m sorry, but your husband has lost feeling in his legs and…”

     Tact should not be confused with trickery. Trickery occurs when a nurse is about to give a patient an injection and says, “This won’t hurt a bit.” Instead of trickery, the nurse might guarantee the patient that the discomfort of the injection is a small thing compared to the benefits of it. It would also be thoughtful for the nurse to tell the patients about some of these benefits.

     Tact is a wonderful skill to have, and tactful people are usually admired and respected. Without tact our society would become an intolerable place to live in.

When told he should “go Ajax” his teeth, Bill probably felt ________________.

A.surprised               B.cheated        

C.regretful               D.painful

According to the author, his mother’s praise for the brother is _______________.

A.both sensitive and tactful          B.sensitive but not tactful enough

C.truthful but not tactful            D.sensitive but trickish

The fourth paragraph mainly talks about __________________.

A.how to comfort the patients    

B.how to use trickery carefully

C.differences between trickery and promises   

D.another feature of tact

Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? (The numbers stand for the paragraphs)

III .  阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)

第一节:阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。(共10小题;每小题2分,满分30分)

     Happiness is associated with smiling . But do we always smile when we are happy?

     During the Olympic Games in Barcelona in 1992, Spanish researchers were surprised to see that these medal winners didn’t smile very much. In fact, throughout the different medal ceremonies, they only smiled about 10 percent of the time. But during the brief moment when the gold medal was put around their neck, the medal winners grinned (露齿笑) about 70% of the time.

     The researchers interviewed winners they had watched to find out how they felt. All the winners interviewed said that they felt intensely happy throughout the ceremony.

     Though they were profoundly happy , they didn’t smile a great deal .The researchers concluded that smiling was not the automatic expression of happiness. The fact that the gold medal winners smiled much more when they were actually being given their medals could be explained because, according to the Spanish researchers, smiling was a form of communication between individuals. The happy athletes were smiling at the people who were giving them gold medals.

     Perhaps we can support the findings of Spanish researchers by making some observations of our own behaviors. When we are all alone, for example, do we smile at ourselves when we are happy? Probably not very often. If someone greets us with a friendly smile, do we respond with a smile? Yes , we probably do.  When a friend gives us a beautiful present, will we show our appreciation with a smile? Yes , of course . But if we are sitting alone watching television, do we smile at a commentator (讲解员)  who smiles at us?

56. How much of the time did the gold medal winners smile during the medal ceremonies?

 A.10%              B.70%         C.22%            D.92%

 A. Throughout the medal ceremony.

 B. When they were informed of their success

 C. When the gold medal was put around their neck

58. According to the passage, on which of the following occasions would we most probably Not smile?

 A. When we are sitting alone watching TV

 B. When someone greets us with a friendly smile.

 C. When a friend gives us a beautiful present.

第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题,每小题2分,满分40分)

阅读下面的短文,从A,B,C,D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项

    My elder brother Steve, in the absence of my father who died when I was six, gave me important lessons in values that helped me grow into an adult. For instance, Steve taught me to face the results of my behavior. Once when I returned in tears from a Saturday baseball game, it was Steve who took the time to ask me what happened. When I explained that my baseball had soared through Mrs. Holt’s basement window, breaking the glass with a crash, Steve encouraged me to confess(坦白) to her. After all, I should have been playing in the park down Fifth Street and not in the path between buildings. Although my knees knocked as I explained to Mrs. Holt, I offered to pay for the window from my pocket money if she would return my ball. I also learned from Steve that personal property is a sacred thing. After I found a shiny silver pen in my fifth-grade classroom, I wanted to keep it, but Steve explained that it might be important to someone else. He reminded me of how much I’d hate to lose to someone else the small dog my father carved from a piece of wood. I returned the pen to my teacher, Mrs. Davids, and still remembered the smell of her perfume as she patted me on my shoulder.

   Yet of all the instructions Steve gave me, his respect for life is the most vivid in my mind. When I was twelve I killed an old brown bird in the yard with a BB gun. Excited with my accuracy, I screamed to Steve to come from thehouse to take a look. I shall never forget the way he stood for a long moment and stared at the bird on the ground. Then in a dead, quiet voice, he asked, “Did it hurt you first, Mark?” I didn’t know what to answer. He continued with his eyes firm, “The only time you should even think of hurting a living thing is if it hurts you first. And then you think a long, long time. “ I really felt terrible then, but that moment stands out as the most important lesson my brother taught me.

56. What is the main idea of the passage?

   A. The relationship between Mark and Steve

   B. The important lesson Mark learned in school

   C. Steve’s important role in Mark’s growing process.

   D. Mark and Steve’s respect for living things.

57. It can be inferred from the passage that when Mark confessed to Mrs. Holt, ____.

   A. he felt surprised                B. he was light-hearted

   C. he felt frightened               D. he behaved bravely

58. In the story about the pen, which of the following lessons did Steve teach his brother?      

   A. Respect for personal property.

   B. Respect for life.

   C. Sympathy for people with problems.

   D. The value of honesty.

59. Which of the follow is true according to the passage?

   A. Mark was still a boy when he wrote this passage.

   B. Even if a living thing hurts you, you should not kill it without hesitation

   C. When a living thing hurts you, you should kill it.

   D. Mark lost the small dog his father raised.
