Everyone enjoys a fitting reply; it is wonderful to say the right thing at the right time!
When I was a senior in high school, I 36 knew I wanted to pursue writing as a career.
Writing had basically 37 me when I was only 7 years old, 38 since that time, I’d been bombarded by guidance counselors and career planners who all 39 me to have “a back-up plan” in case writing didn’t work out.
I’d never even 40 a different career path, so I was very 41 and worried. After much thought, I decided 42 would be my “back-up plan,” and I signed up for a class through my high school.

Sometimes, I even 45 a lesson or two. It was fun, and the students seemed to like me, Then it came time for my 46 . Mr. Ralston looked me right in the eyes and asked, “Do you really want to 47 ?”

“Don’t misunderstand. You’ll do fine in teaching,” he continued. “But, is your 48 really in it?”
“Not really,” I 49 . “I want to write. I want to write news stories and fiction and poetry and so much more…but I’ve been told it’s tough to make it as a writer 50 I thought maybe I would teach and then use my summers 51 to pursue writing.”
As I 52 with Mr. Ralston my hopes, dreams and carefully plotted-out back-up plan, he smiled and said, “Why are you preparing to fail with this back-up plan? If you want to be a writer, go for it! Pursue writing!”
Mr. Ralston’s 53 to follow my dreams was the little nudge I needed to help me push past my 54 of not making it as a writer and simply “Go for it!”
That’s what an encouraging word will do when spoken in love in 55 season. So, let’s try and be like Mr. Ralston and speak that word of encouragement at just the right time and make a difference in someone’s life today.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳答案。
A
Settling in to life at Oxford
When you first arrive in Oxford, it may take a little while for you to find your way around. The university is a large organization that is fully integrated into the city and has been evolving for 800 years. Some of the first things our students do when they arrive include finding a bike(most students in Oxford find cycling is the best way to go around), setting up a bank account, getting their computer and mobile phone working, finding their department, getting to know their college and working out the best places to socialize.
One of the major events you will experience shortly after “coming up” to Oxford is matriculation. Matriculation is held at the University’s Sheldonian Theatre and is the ceremony at which you are formally admitted to the university.
International students are invited to an orientation day at the start of the academic year. Sessions run throughout the day that will give you practical information about living and studying in UK and introduce you to other graduate students from for all over the world who are starting their studies at Oxford at the same time as you, as well as to current Oxford graduate students and staff who will be able to help and advise you. The day covers topics such as studying and learning in the Oxford system, University services, information on living in Britain and culture differences, as well as addressing practical issues such as employment, immigration and visas, health and safety. You can choose which talks to attend and at the end of the day there is a social hour so you can meet fellow students.
Another good thing to experience early on is college dining. Most colleges have a tradition of regular formal hall dinners, which consist of three or four courses, and the atmosphere of an evening out in a nice restaurant. On some of these occasions you can invite people around to your college for dinner and then they may return the favor. In this way, you can get to know people studying your own and other subjects at the same time as visiting many of the historical college grounds and dining halls.
Further information on your first few weeks at Oxford is available via the Students Gateway on our website, and you can get first-hand accounts of what life at Oxford is like by watching videos of students talking about their experiences on our Wall of 100 Faces.
56. When do students feel they are truly admitted to Oxford University?
A. They arrived in Oxford and settled down on campus.
B. They received the offer from the admission office.
C. They met the staff and took some required courses.
D. They experienced the matriculation in the university.
57. Which is an orientation important for international students?
A. It is a good chance to ask the staff for help.
B. It offers practical information about living and studying.
C. It helps get students’ computers hooked to the Internet.
D. It can help deal with the problem of culture differences.
58. “return the favor” in the passage probably means ______________.
A. inviting you for dinner B. visiting your historic college in return
C. sharing favorite videos D. providing you with some good advice
B
When I was in college, a man named Henry worked as a custodian (看门人) in our student union building. White-haired, with a Pennsylvania Dutch accent, Henry could usually be seen in a baseball cap, a T-shirt and a pair of jeans.
He was the custodian, and he was the most respected and most well-known person in the building. Everyone loved Henry, and it was because of all the implicit ways he expressed his love for everyone around him. Henry didn’t have to say, “I love you.” He lived his love.
Henry was always excited when he met someone new, and he wanted to know everything about them. He felt it was important to do things for people he valued. And Henry seemed to value everyone he met. He brought in articles or cartoons for certain people, went out of his way to introduce people to each other, kept dozens of names and birthdays in his wallet so he could send cards, and helped students keep in touch with graduates who had written to him. He even assisted students who didn’t have enough money to buy their books.
Henry taught me --- and many others he supported --- how to live life to the fullest. Not by skydiving or exploring some foreign countries, but by appreciating where you are in life and valuing those around you.
The funny thing is that despite all he did and taught us, Henry truly believed that he was the lucky one --- that he was the one who was gaining so much by getting to know us. But all of us who remember Henry know that we were the ones who were truly blessed.
We will never forget the man who taught us that best way to say “I love you” often has little to do with the words.
59. What does the word “implicit” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. silent B. proper C. attractive D. unbelievable
60. According to the passage, working as a custodian in a college, Henry ______.
A. made international travels to live a full life
B. was a role model of how to be a caring person
C. was busy organizing former students’ reunions
D. gathered plenty information about the needy students
61. Henry was always excited to meet new people because ______.
A. it would make people think highly of him
B. he was the most popular person in the college
C. it was part of his responsibility as a custodian
D. he treasured everything around him in his life
62. Which of the following word cannot be used to describe Henry?
A. kind. B. adventurous. C. supportive. D. sympathetic.
C
When a big boat, like a cruise ship, goes through the ocean, it often creates waves. This happens when the large engines on the back of the cruise ship cause the water on the ocean’s surface move up and down violently. These waves move out from the boat in both directions. If you are captaining a smaller boat, you’d better steer clear of a ship’s wake, so that your boat is not surfing on the waves, causing it to overturn.
A wave is a pattern of motion. When you look at a wave, it may appear as simply water moving across the surface of the ocean. In fact, this is false. The water is actually not moving in the same direction as the wave. While the wave itself -- the pattern of motion – is moving across the surface of the ocean, the water is actually moving in a circular motion, which brings the water molecules back to their original position. The water merely gives the appearance of moving forward.
If this is confusing, think of the kind of wave you do at a baseball stadium. Viewed from a distance, the wave is clearly moving across the stadium. But the thing that makes up the wave – the people – are no
