(10 points)In winter, I often walk in a nearby park during lunch time. The park is 1 , as few people have the time to enjoy the winter sun on a weekday. The two people that are often seen are a middle-aged father and his little daughter 2 her school uniform. The father looks like he has all the time in the worldhe 3 to hurry along the jogging path; instead he matches his pace with 4 of the little girl. Sometimes they are lying 5 in the sun, laughing and chatting. The man certainly doesnt look 6 . What sort of job can he have that gives him the flexibility to walk in the park in the middle of the dayAnd today, we 7 sat on the rocks and had a little chat. “You must enjoy the park very much to come here so often,” I said. The father nodded. “How” I asked curiously, “do you 8 to leave your office to be with your daughter every day” The 9 that the father, Satyendra Dugbey, told me showed me how, if we 10 under the surface, even ordinary peoples life can be quite 11 .“I used to be no different from any of those thousands of office workers 12 to work every day,” he began. His wife and he were well 13 but rarely managed time off for leisure.Everything changed after a(n) 14 in which Dugbey was hit by a car. As he lay in hospital, terrifying thoughts came into his mind. “How would my daughter, then only four, remember me if I died that day” “Would my daughter have 15 of being with her father”The moment he recovered and went back to work, Dugbey took time off at lunch, 16 her daughter from school which was just next door to his working place, and took her to the park.It was actually a very small change hed made, he said, but it 17 him every day to see the difference it 18 to his life. “It brings me so much 19 that I cant believe why others havent thought of doing the same thing.” he said simply.I got up to continue my 20 walk, unexpectedly happy after his story.1、Anoisy Bappealing Cquiet Dstill2、Aon Bin Cwith Dunder3、Atends Bintends Cinspires Drefuses4、Ait Bthat Cthis Dthose5、Aheavily Btiredly Clazily Dlonely6、Aunemployed Buntrained Cuntested Dunwanted7、Atruly Bgenerally Centirely Dfinally8、Asucceed Bfail Cmanage Dsuggest9、Anews Bstory Cdata Dphenomenon10、Adig Bpush Cclean Dknock11、Aextraordinary Bcommon Cpeaceful Dreliable12、Ahurrying Bwandering Chesitating Dhating13、Adown Bover Cabove Doff14、Aaffair Baccident Csituation Dsight15、Aassociation Bconsideration Cmisunderstanding Dmemories16、Apicked up Bpicked out Ctook up Dtook out17、Abothered Bpuzzled Cfrighten Damazed18、Atook Bled Cmade Dgot19、Alove Bjoy Crelief Ddepression20、Along-suffering Blong-lost Clong-forgotten Dlong-lastingSection II Reading ComprehensionPart ADirections:Read the following four texts.

(40 points)Text 1“Auld Lang Syne” is a song that everyone drunkenly sings, which marks the start to a brand new year. No one ever seems to know the words (something about forgetting old acquaintances?) or what they mean (why would we want to forget people?), but, in America, its as much a part of New Years tradition as wine. But why?The lyrics (歌词) to the song come from a poem written by the great Scottish poet Robert Bums in 1788. Its title is believed to be an old Scottish way of saying “a long time ago.” Phrases like “In the days of auld lang syne” also appear in other Scottish fairytales and poems, usually as a way of saying “Once Upon a Time.”While it still causes confusion, it is believed that the opening lines of the song are meant to be rhetorical (夸张的); “Should auld acquaintance be forgotten, and never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgotten, and auld lang syne?” therefore means we should have a drink in honor of whatever is passing, and remember old friends.When the Scots immigrated to America in the 19th century, they brought the song with them. But its great popularity can be largely due to the Canadian bandleader Guy Lombardo.In 1965, he explained how he himself came to associate the song with the end of the year to Life Magazine:“Auld Lang Syne is our theme songand was long before anyone ever heard us on the radio. In our particular part of western Ontario, where theres a large Scottish population, it was traditional for bands to end every dance with Auld Lang Syne. We didnt think it was known here.I
