Probably not. The excitement of living is that you dont know whats coming.Sure, its hard to see uncertainty(不確定 ) in such active light when youre out of work, or when you feel like youre failing. But uncertainty is really another word for chance.When Allison graduated from Harvard, she had chances all over the place but had no idea what she wanted to do. She took a job in consulting(咨詢)，but she knew she wouldnt stay there. She took the GRE and scored so high that she was able to increase her income (收入) by teaching students. Still, she didnt think she wanted to go to graduate school(研究生院). Allison knew she wasnt doing what she wanted, but she didnt know what she wanted.She worried. All her friends were going to graduate school or starting their own businesses. She was lost and felt that she would never find anything out. After six years, Allison, by having a plan in mind, got married, moved to the Midwest, and used her consulting experience to get a great job. Allison realized that she spent her years finding her way: time well spent, and time we must all take if were being honest with ourselves.The only way to lead an interesting life is to face uncertainty and make a choice. Otherwise your life is not your own it is a path someone else has chosen. Moments of uncertainty are when you create your life, and when you become who you are. Uncertainty usually begins with a job hunt, but it doesnt end there. Every new role we take on means another round of uncertainty. Instead of fearing it, you should find some ways to deal with uncertainty（1）From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that .A . being out of work is a sad thingB . uncertainty is what makes life interestingC . life in a film is more exciting than rea l lifeD . chance never appears when we need it（2）What troubles Allison after graduation?A . She couldnt find a well-paid job.B . She had no money to start a business.C . She was not sure what to do.D . She didnt score high enough for graduate school.（3）How did Allison feel about her six years working experience?A . Uncertain.B . Amazed.C . Sorry.D . Satisfied.（4）What may be discussed in the following paragraph?A . How to deal with uncertainty.B . What role uncertainty plays in life.C . Why people fear uncertainty.D . Whom to go to when facing uncertainty.13. （10分）閱讀理解。If you won a lottery and had lots of money, what would you do? Most people start by buying themselves things, such as a new car or a bigger TV.Many people who win lots of money may suddenly find that they have a lot of socalled(所謂的)friends. The new friends they make may follow them for their money but they may also leave them when all the money is spent. Besides that, they cant decide what to do with the money, so they try to think what they want. In the end, most people usually decide to save the money.There are some lottery winners who decide to quit(辭職)their jobs, because they think they have enough money and dont need to work any longer. Some big lottery winners make even bigger changesthey end their marriages. They think that winning a lot of money has suddenly made them more intelligent and more attractive(有吸引力的).So they feel that they have to be with a younger or more attractive man or woman.They dont know their new money is just a bit of luck.

Take the sentence “How do you do?” as an example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation(翻譯)？It must be a wrong sentence in your own language. Languages do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. Its important to master(掌握) the rules for word order(順序) in the study of English, too. If the speakers put words in a wrong order, the listener cant understand the speakers sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes, but sometimes the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesnt change. Lets see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.“She ony like apples.” “Only she likes apples.”“My friend is Alice.” “Alice is my friend.”When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit(精神實質(zhì)) of the language and use it as the English speaker does.（1）From the passage we know that when we are learning English. A . we shouldnt put every word into our own languageB . we should look up every word in the dictionaryC . we need to put every word into our own languageD . we must read word by word（2）The writer thinks it is in learning English. A . difficult to understand different soundsB . possible to remember the word orderC . important to master the rules in different waysD . easy to master the rules for word order（3）We can learn from the passage that . A . the meaning of an English sentence always changes with the order of the wordsB . the order of words can never change the meaning of an English sentenceC . sometimes different order of words has a different meaningD . if the order of words is different, the meaning of a sentence must be different（4）Which is the best title for this passage? A . Different Orders, Different Meanings.B . How to Speak English?C . How to Put English into Our Own Language?D . How to Learn English?15. （8分）閱讀理解I work as a volunteer for a group that helps the poor in Haiti. I decided to take my son Brain there for a week， hoping to educate(教育) him.Before getting out， I told Brain this trip would be tiring and hard. For the first two days， he said almost nothing.
