Life Doesn’t Just Happen to Us

Being good at something and having a passion for it are not enough. Success depends mainly on our view of

ourselves and of the events in our lives.

When twelve-year-old John Wilson walked into his chemistry class on a rainy day in 1931, he had no way of

knowing that his life was to change completely. The class experiment that day was to show (21)_______

heating a container of water would bring air bubbling to the surface. Somehow, the container the teacher gave

Wilson (22) (heat) mistakenly held something more volatile(易挥发的) than water. When Wilson heated

it, the container exploded, (23) (leave) Wilson blinded in both eyes.

When Wilson returned home from hospital two months later, his parents attempted to find a way to deal with

the disaster that (24) (happen) to their lives. But Wilson did not regard the accident (25) ________ a

disaster. He learned braille( 盲文 ) quickly and continued his education at Worcester College for the Blind.

There, he not only did well as a student but also became an (26) (accomplish) public speaker.

Later, he worked in Africa, (27) many people suffered from blindness for lack of proper treatment.

For him, it was one thing to accept his own fate of being blind and quite another to allow something to continue

when it (28) be fixed so easily. Wilson did his best to prevent the preventable (29)______ _______tens

of millions in Africa and Asia could recover their sight.

Wilson received several international awards for his great contributions. He lost his sight but found a

vision. He proved that it’s not what happens to us (30) determines our lives- it’s what we make of what

happens.

technology. A recent study by the ITBS (Iowa Tests of Basic Skills) and TAP(Tests of Achievement and

Proficiency) shows us that students of home schools do particularly well when compared with the nationwide

___36__. In every subject at every grade level, students of home schooling scored obviously higher than those

If you’re new to home schooling, you may be asking yourself, “will home schools really work for my

III. Reading Comprehension

Section A

Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

Never in recorded history has a language been as widely spoken as English is today. The reason why

millions are learning it is simple: it is the language of international business and, __41__, the key to prosperity.

David Graddol, the author of English Next, says it is __42__ to view the story of English simply as

success for its native speakers in North America, Britain and Ireland, and Australasia-but that would be a

mistake. Global English has entered a more complex stage, changing in ways that the English-speaking

countries cannot control and might not __ 43__.

An important question one might ask is: whose English will it be in the future? Non-native speakers now

__44__ native English speakers by three to one. The majority of encounters in English today take place

between non-native speakers. According to David Graddol, many business meetings held in English appear to

run more smoothly when no native English speakers are __ 45__. This is because native speakers are often poor

at ensuring that they are understood in international discussions. They tend to think they need to avoid longer

Latin-based words, but in fact __46__ problems are more often caused by their use of idioms, metaphors,

phrasal verbs, etc.

Professor Barbara Seidlhofer, Professor of English and Applied Linguistic at the University of Vienna,

records and transcribes spoken English interactions between speakers of the language around the world. She

says her team has noticed that non-native speakers are __47__ standard English grammar in several ways. Even

the most experienced speakers sometimes omit the “s” in the third person singular. Many omit definite and

indefinite articles where they are __48__ in standard English, or put them in where standard English does not

use them. Nouns that are not plural in native-speaker English are used as plurals by non-native speakers (e.g,

“informations,” “knowledges,” “advices”). Other variations include “make a discussion,” “discuss about

something,” or “phone to somebody.” Many native English speakers will insist these are just __49__.

“Knowledges” and “phone to somebody” are simply wrong. Many non-native speakers who teach English

around the world would __50__. But language changes, and so do concepts of grammatical __ 51 __.

Those who insist on standard English grammar remain in a(n) __52__ position. Academics who want their

work published in international journals have to obey the grammatical rules followed by native English-

speaking elites (精英).

But spoken English is another matter. Why should non-native speakers bother with what native speakers

regard as correct? Their main aim, __53__, is to be understood by one another, and in most cases there is no

native speaker present.

Professor Seidlhofer says, “I think that what we are looking at is the __54__ of a new international

attitude, the recognition and awareness that in many international contexts non-native speakers do not need to

speak like native speakers, to compare themselves to them, and thus always feel ‘__ 55__’.”

41. A. however B. therefore C. otherwise D. instead

42. A. relieving B. shocking C. tempting D. disappointing

43. A. accept B. oppose C. mind D. doubt

44. A. outnumber B. overlook C. upgrade D. underestimate
