    A

    The choice to adopt and hold gratefulness is the one that is different from those who suffer misfortune and those who enjoy a full life.

    My mother died when I was 24. It was a very difficult time in my life — everything seemed to fall apart. I lost my job, and then my utilities were turned off. I had to take cold showers for six months. A neighbor who knew about my situation came to my house and made me an offer. I took care of her children as a job, and I no longer went hungry. I was surprised that someone would trust me — a young woman with her children. And it was with the very confidence that before long I began taking care of other people’s children, too. I have since moved 300 miles from Boise, Idaho. For more than 23 years I have made every effort to reach out to all the kind-hearted people who helped me when I was down and out. Without their trust, I don’t know what I would have done. I am very involved in my community and volunteer at the local food bank, and I help out whenever I can. I’d like to owe what I am to whoever has offered me generosity.

    If you are grateful for what you already have, the world will work together to give you more to be grateful for. Otherwise, the world will give you more to complain about.

    Moreover, the true master learns to be grateful, in advance, for the things that are desired, because, being grateful in advance for some attainment or accomplishment does two very important things: one…it tricks your subconscious into believing that the goal is certain and two…it convinces other people, with whom you must interact to achieve your desires, that you know what you are about, that you are a winner, not a whiner (哀诉者).

    1.The underlined word “utilities” refers to __________ in the passage.

    A．water and gas supplies

    B．gas and electricity supplies

    C．shower equipment and water supply

    D．heating and TV signals

    2.The writer was grateful mainly for ___________.

    A．his neighbor’s donation

    B．his community

    C．having got the job

    D．others’ trust

    3.The writer’s personal story in the second paragraph tells us that __________.

    A．to be grateful will get you nowhere but away from home

    B．a grateful person is most likely to be successful

    C．we need to be grateful to be helpful and useful

    D．the fragrance (芳香) stays in the hand that gives the rose

    4.The best title for the passage would be ____________.

    A．A Thank-You Note to Trusting Neighbor

    B．You Are a Winner, Not a Whiner

    C．Be Grateful to Life in Advance

    D．Gratefulness Brings a Great Fullness to Life

    第一节 阅读表达

    阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上(请注意问题后的词数要求)。

    【1】‘Kung Hei Fat Choi!’ That’s a phrase that has been heard many times in London’s Chinatown over the last few days. Why? Because it’s Chinese New Year, and the UK’s Chinese community are celebrating the Year of the Dragon.

        【2】This year the celebrations which include more than 100 events have been more spectacular (壮观的)than ever with more than 200,000 people gathering to watch a huge parade of lions, dragons, drums, and ribbon and fan dancers. The procession made its way from Chinatown to Trafalgar Square, the very heart of London. Meanwhile, London’s museums, art galleries and theatres are running special China-themed seasons.

        【3】London has a proud history of multiculturalism, and the Chinese community is one of the oldest in the city. Chinese immigrants first came to London in the mid 19th Century, _____________________seamen involved in the tea trade via Canton. For that reason Cantonese is still spoken more widely in the UK than Mandarin.

        【4】A more recent wave of immigration took place in the 1960s when many workers came from Hong Kong to find work in the flourishing restaurant business. One part of the central London neighborhood of Soho became synonymous with Chinese restaurants and began to be known as Chinatown.

        【5】Today more than 60,000 people of Chinese descent live in London which means that there are plenty of people to conduct the New Year festivities.

        【6】Much of this has been organized through partnerships between Chinese community groups and the Mayor of London’s office. Indeed, London’s Mayor has been an outspoken advocate of strengthening ties between the UK and China. In his Chinese New Year speech he said, “To everyone in China, think of London as your second home.”

    【7】So whether you are in London, Beijing or Hong Kong, have a happy Chinese New Year.
