I became a stand- up comic (喜剧演员) at 12:45 yesterday afternoon when I walked onto a comedy club stage and did a \"bit\". It was an audition (试听) in which people had exactly two minutes each to perform for a producer.

I am not a comic, have never appeared onstage, am awkward before many people, and have no social skills. But I have written some funny things in the newspapers, and I figured that if you can write funny, you can be funny. That was my first mistake.

Good stand - up comics improve their acts over months if not years, practicing before bathroom mirrors or their friends. I developed the key skill the morning I went on. I also brought a box of plastic beads (珠子) , because I figured they could be useful.

For the first few seconds, I was simply staring forward, mouth open, expressing the concept:\"Uuungh\".

Finally I said, \"This is my first performance as a stand - up comic. It's a kind of a special moment for me. I'd like to take this opportunity to say something to my mother, who was an inspiration (激励) to me throughout my life. My mother passed away a few years ago, but I feel she is still with me. All the time, wherever I go, I feel her presence. Day in and day out. So I would like to say this to her. LEAVE ME ALONE, MA!\"

Some people actually laughed.

Then I said, \"Anyway, this really is my first time onstage, and I'm pretty nervous because I'm not all that funny and I have a really bad stage presence. But I've been working on the problem. A long time ago a Greek guy named Demosthenes had the same problem I have, and he became a great speaker by sticking pebbles (鹅卵石) in his mouth, so I thought I would (and here I began putting the beads in my mouth) try that. See, the idea is that if you can talk through the pebbles ( now I was putting them in by the handful) you can learn to talk better and wfnm fmuff frmphm grphnm . . .\" More laughter.

I looked at my watch, said something that might have sounded like \"My time is up,\" and left to somewhat spirited applause. What the audience did not know was that I was quietly choking (哽咽) on a slippery bead.

24. We can learn from the text that the author____.

A. is a professional comic B. has rich stage experience

C. is good at communicating with others D. has had his stories published in the newspapers 25. What made some people laugh at first?

A. The author's words. B. The author's life story.

C. The author's facial expression. D. The author's body movements. 26. The author used the beads to_____.

A. amuse the audience B. reduce his nervousness

C. make himself confident on the stage D. show his ability to talk through the beads 27. After giving the performance, the author probably felt

A. the audience was stupid B. being a comic is never easy

C. he would make a great comic D. he should have brought more beads

C

In our schooldays, everyone has the memories they can cherish and treasure for their whole life. Schooldays are the most joyful and fun filled with many mysteries to solve and many fights to resolve.

In my schooldays, I had many friends and some foes. We used to gossip, play and sometimes fight over silly things. I had two best friends. They were very' nice and loyal to me. Every teacher in my school liked us, although we weren't brilliant students. In fact we were average ones but still we respected our elders and loved our youngsters. Since my childhood, I've never been complaining to anyone about anything as I had everything I needed or wanted. I miss my schooldays since they are all about having fun and no competitions. The most exciting part is \"the exchange of lunch boxes\". Usually my best friends and I liked each other's lunch and soon developed a habit of exchanging lunches. Apart from sharing lunches, we also used to share our silly secrets.

We used to play our self-created games and draw photos for fun. We also used to have bets and treats for rewards on childish things but we never played jokes on anyone. My childhood was indeed really amazing and simple. We found fun in small but beautiful things. It was surely surrealistic(超现实的) but also exciting at times. In my schooldays, we sometimes played in the rains, made paper boats, ate ice-creams and enjoyed every drop of water and after getting all bathed up in water, we had hot chocolate drinks.

These were some of the memories of my schooldays in my childhood, which I still cherish today. I hope everyone's childhood days are just as carefree and joyous as mine.

28. The author never made any complaints because_____.

A. he got on well with his classmates B. his teachers liked him very much C. he had many good friends D. he was never short of anything 29. According to the passage, the author's schooldays were full of

A. simple yet happy memories B. fights and arguments C. unrealistic yet exciting dreams D. tricks and jokes 30. Which of the following words can describe the author's childhood?

A. Silly and worrying. B. Troublesome and painful.

C. Carefree and joyous. D. Surrealistic and joyous. 31. Which is the best title for this passage?

A. My Teachers B. My schooldays C. My Best friends D. My Childhood

A woman in Santa Fe, New Mexico, left her home early to go to work on a Thursday morning, but after twenty minutes' drive her car suddenly broke down. Fortunately, at that moment, a kind man named Jackson Auk coming, helped her pull the car over, but when he opened the hood (引擎罩) of the car he didn't find a dead battery. Instead, he found a living snake, 9 - foot, 20 - pound, \"It was looking right at me. It flicked its little tongue, and I was a little frightened \"Jackson Ault said.

So Ault and the woman called the local police to get help. The first officer on the scene didn't know how to control the snake like most people and was not brave at that moment. But then the police - Lt. Louis Carlos showed up and the story suddenly became much less frightening and more delightful.

\"Cool, I wanted to hold it!\" Carlos told a local TV reporter about his reaction to seeing the snake. \"It was easy for me to go there, pick it up, hold it and let the snake feel the warmth of my hands and my body.\"

After comforting the snake, Carlos called Animals Control Service, which brought the snake to the Santa Fe Animal Shelter.

One people from the center said the snake was not dangerous and it was like a pet that wanted to escape from its owner's home. It was also just a baby, only halfway toward her estimated adult length. They said it almost certainly crawled on the top of the car's engine to seek warmth and shelter.

\"We had a lot of fun with it today - everyone there wanted to challenge their courage and handle the snake,\" people could read these words on the Santa Fe Animal Shelter's page.

In fact, not everyone thought that way. \"I was hesitant to open my own hood even though that sounds ridiculous,\" Ault said.

32. Jackson Auh thought at first that the woman's car____.

A. had been short of gas B. had had a battery problem C. had had an engine problem D. had been damaged by a snake 33. Why did Carlos call Animals Control Service?

A. To get hold of the snake. B. To pick up the snake. C. To take the snake away. D. To operate on the snake. 34. The snake crawled on the top of the car probably to

A. frighten the driver B. hid from its owner

C. make itself warm and unseen D. find something delicious to eat 35. We can learn from Paragraph 6 that

A. it is fun to play with snakes for people B. only Ault is frightened of the snake

C. it's usual for a snake to hide under the car hood D. dealing with the snake is not an easy job for people

these destinations is attractive. 36 '

As a new word, stayeation refers to people staying at home during their vacation time, and going sightseeing around their hometown.

Stayeations have become really popular recently, as a way of having an enjoyable vacation, without spending too much money. There are shortcomings to every positive thing, however.

37 You also might prevent yourself from enjoying things to the fullest, as the atmosphere might be the same as any other time. 38 It means you won't be available for work or other activities.

What can you do to make your staycation fun?

3. Throw a small party. Think about the money you are saving by not going away. You will still save money, but have more fun, and you will help other people to have fun too!

4. Go shopping! Window shopping, or the super fun type, where you buy things! You would have bought souvenirs if you had gone on a vacation, so treat yourself during your staycafion!

The most important thing to remember is to do things that make you and your family excited! 40 A. Eat out for every meal! B. Go on a day trip to a nearby town, or to a beach. C.

第二节 书面表达（满分25分） One possible version:

According to the survey, China has the largest smoking population, with more than 300 million regular smokers. The number of smokers in Beijing is estimated to be about 4.2 million.

As we all know, smoking is harmful, for smoking can lead to many diseases, such as lung cancer and passive smoking is more harmful than active smoking. Every year, more than 1 million people die as a result of tobacco-related diseases. What’s more, in public places, the disadvantage of smoking is greater, polluting environment.

So the toughest anti-smoking rules in China took effect in Beijing on June 1. Smoking is banned in all indoor public areas and workplaces, plus a number of outdoor areas, including schools, hospitals and so on.

I think we should ban smoking all over the country like in Beijing.
