Dear Janice,
It’s been a month since I came to this new school and I really want share with you some problems. As I tell you last time, I made three new friend here. We’ve been spending a lot of time sing in karaoke bars. It’s been three Saturdays now and it really costs me many money. And I started to see this as a time-wasting activity! In fact, I don’t like to go anymore, so I’m afraid I’ll lose their friendship. How do you think I should do? If you are me, would you talk to him?
Please help with me and give me some advice.
Yours,
Grace

本文属于记叙文阅读，叙述了Grace在新的学校里遇到了交友方面的问题，写信给Janice征求意见。
【小题1】want后加上to。考查固定搭配。动词搭配want to do sth.，意为“想要做某事”。句意：我来这所新学校已经一个月了，我真想和你分享一些问题。
【小题2】tell→told。考查时态。本句的时间状语是last time，这是一个一般过去时的时间状语，所以谓语动词要用told。
【小题3】friend→friends。考查名词单复数。数词three后面的可数名词要使用复数形式。
【小题4】sing→singing。考查固定句式。句式spend some time (in) doing sth.，意为“花费时间做某事”。
【小题5】many→much。考查形容词。many修饰可数名词复数，much修饰不可数名词。本句中的money是不可数名词，故要用much修饰。
【小题6】so→but。考查连词。句意：实际上，我再也不想去那里了，但是我担心我会失去他们的友谊。根据句意可知，上下文之间存在转折关系，所以使用连词but表示转折，连词so表示上下文的因果关系。
【小题7】How→What。考查特殊疑问词。本句中what是一个特殊疑问词，在句中充当动词do的宾语，how属于疑问副词，不能作主语或宾语。
【小题8】are→were。考查虚拟语气。本句实际上是if引导的条件句的虚拟语气，表示与现在事实相反，从句使用一般过去时were，主句使用“情态动词+动词原形”。句意：如果你是我，你会和他们谈吗？所以本句应该使用过去式were。
【小题9】him→them。考查代词。根据本段第一句As I tell you last time, I made three new friends here.（我交了三个朋友），所以本句使用them指代three new friends。
【小题10】去掉help后面的with。考查动词。动词help构成短语help sb. with sth. 或help sb. (to) do sth.帮助某人某事/帮助某人做某事，所以本句中的with是多余的。
考点：考查时态、固定搭配、形容词、代词等语法知识

三、 阅读理解
21. I left university with a good degree in English Literature, but no sense of what I wanted to do. Over the next six years, I was treading water, just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn’t think I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull.
    I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words.
    It takes confidence to make a new start — there’s a dark period in-between where you’re neither one thing nor the other. You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you’re too ashamed to say, “Well, I’m writing a novel, but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there.” My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside.
    Then I met an agent（代理商）who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.
    The next problem was finding a publisher. After two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal — that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.
    It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck — of fate, really. When you set out to do something different, there’s no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract（合同）of the publisher — to be a published writer — is unbelievably rewarding（有回报的）.
64. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. I was waiting for good fortune.
B. I was trying to find an admirable job.
C. I was being aimless about a suitable job.
D. I was doing several jobs for more pay at a time.
65. The author decided to write a novel ______ .
A. to finish the writing course
B. to realize her own dream
C. to satisfy readers’ wish
D. to earn more money
66. How did the writer feel halfway with the novel?
A. Disturbed.        B. Ashamed.        C. Confident.        D. Uncertain.
67. What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph?
A. It pays to stick to one’s goal.
B. Hard work can lead to success.
C. She feels like being unexpectedly lucky.
D. There is no end in sight when starting to do something.

22. Who’s in control of your life? Who is pulling your string? For the majority of us, it’s other people – society, colleagues, friends, family or our religious community. We learned this way of operating when we were very young, of course．We were brainwashed．We discovered that feeling important and feeling accepted was a nice experience and so we learned to do everything we could to make other people like us．As Oscar Wilde puts it，“Most people are other people．Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions，their lives a mimicry(模仿)，their passions a quotation．”
    So when people tell us how wonderful we are，it makes us feel good．We long for this good feeling like a drug—we are addicted to it and seek it out wherever we can．Therefore，we are so eager for the approval of others that we live unhappy and limited lives，failing to do the things we really want to．Just as drug addicts and alcoholics live worsened lives to keep getting their fix(一剂毒品)，we worsen our own existence to get our own constant fix of approval．
    But just as with any drug，there is a price to pay．The price of the approval drug is freedom--the freedom to be ourselves. The truth is that we cannot control what other people think．People have their own schedule，and they come with their own baggage and，in the end，they’re more interested in themselves than in you．Furthermore，if we try to live by the opinions of others，we will build our life on sinking sand．Everyone has a different way of thinking，and people change their opinions all the time．The person who tries to please everyone will only end up getting exhausted and probably pleasing no one in the process．
    So how can we take back control? I think there’s only one way--make a conscious decision to stop caring what other people think．We should guide ourselves by means of a set of values—not values imposed (强加于) from the outside by others，but inborn values which come from within．If we are driven by these values and not by the changing opinions and value systems of others，we will live a more authentic，effective，purposeful and happy life．
67. What Oscar Wilde says implies that         ．
    A. we have thoughts similar to those of others
B. other people’s thoughts are more important   
C. most people’s thoughts are controlled by others
    D. most people have a variety of thoughts
68. What does the author try to argue in the third paragraph?
    A. We may lose ourselves to please others．
    B. Changing opinions may cost us our freedom．
    C. We need to pay for what we want to get．
    D. The price of taking the drug is freedom．
69. It can be concluded from the passage that          ．
    A. it’s better to do what we like
    B. it's important to accept others’ opinions
    C. we shouldn’t change our own opinions
D. we shouldn’t care what others think
70. The author tries to persuade the readers to accept his arguments mainly by      .
A. making suggestions       
B. providing examples and facts
C. discussing questions               
D. analyzing causes and effects
