2．Our school owned a boat named Jolie Brise.It was one of the most famous tall ships in the world and three times winner of the Fastnet Race.The boat was unusual：especially for a remote grammar school in Wiltshire，about as far away from the sea as it can get in England.Obviously，such a site didn't match its fame.
Mr Parish had originally intended to join the Royal Navy but ended up as a teacher at our school.Some pupils guessed that he still felt the call of the ocean -- perhaps because his lessons were almost entirely devoted to navigation（航海）.They argued that it was deeply unfair to learn about navigation but never actually go to sea.Then Mr.Parish，seeing a bunch of young people prepared to crew the boat，allowed them to sail her in return for working on the boat.And that was the beginning of the school sailing club.
By the time I arrived，the sailing club had grown.At weekends，we would work on her all day，cleaning and painting her，and collapse into sleeping bags on the floor at night.Then came the big day when a school sailing trip was announced.Its destination was Saint-Malo.But it also meant that we had to refit the ship by removing every piece of ballast（壓艙物）and replacing the bilge water（底艙污水）before we were allowed to sail.
And I did learn the ropes on that school trip.I learned how to operate a ship in the high waves.I learned the meaning of teamwork and became a better team player.I also learned that the best fish is the one that you have caught and cooked yourself from a boat that you have rebuilt and sailed yourself.
（1）What was unusual about the boat Jolie Brise？
A．It was in a perfect condition.
B．Its lawful owner was Mr.Parish.
C．It won glory for the Royal Navy
D．Its location wasn't as famous as it was.
（2）Why was the sailing club set up？
A．The crew were selected.
B．The boat needed workers.
C．Mr.Parish tried to explore the sea.
D．Students asked to practice navigation.
（3）What finally made the school sailing trip possible？
A．The club's permission.
B．Mr.Parish's sailing experience.
C．The students' preparing the ship for it.
D．The school's offering financial support.
（4）What does the underlined phrase "learn the ropes" in paragraph 4 mean？
A．Learn to cook.
B．Master useful skills.
C．Ensure sailing safety.
D．Use ropes properly.組卷：15引用：2難度：0.5 -
3．Real financial security and freedom is not in our job but in our passion.It's easy to define and evaluate a man by his pursuit.Joseph Campbell once said，"Follow your dream and the universe will open doors where there are only walls."
In life，we'll always be found doing any of these two things：either making a living or making a difference.Pensions（養(yǎng)老金）and salaries stop many from pursuing excellence while passion unlocks hidden potentials that equip us for challenges and opportunities.A job helps us make a living while passion enables us to make a difference.
I want to sincerely help to adjust and clarify the misguided belief among workers that a job is a means of livelihood.Rather，it should be a means to fuel our passion.The earlier you realize this basic truth of life，the more clearly you'll be able to position yourself in living a life of impact and value.
The success of Kentucky Fried Chicken（KFC）shows how meaningful it is to pursue your passion instead of your pension.Its founder，Colonel Harland Sanders，didn't realize this until he was given his first social security check of 105 dollars.But he decided that there surely was something to do for himself and other people instead of living on that small pension.He was determined to engage himself in what brought him impact and value.Drawing inspiration from his mother's special recipe for fried chicken，he invented "finger-licking" seasoning with eleven spices and herbs.Despite much rejection，he managed to round up some investors and promote company's rapid expansion to more than 6，000 locations.Sanders' life pointed towards two facts about making a difference：one，there is no age that is too old to make a difference；two，there is nothing too small or insignificant to make a difference with，as long as it is your passion.
（1）How does the author support his argument in paragraph 2？
A．By listing examples.
B．By showing contrast.
C．By including a quote.
D．By sharing his experience.
（2）How did Sanders probably feel when offered his first social security check？
A．Deeply moved.
B．Pleasantly surprised.
C．Greatly relieved.
D．Internally motivated.
（3）What does the author suggest we do？
A．Pursue our passion.
B．Get a well-paid job.
C．Secure our position.
D．Get career guidance.
（4）What is the best title for this text？
A．Passion or Pension？
B．Following Your Dreams
C．Working for Pension
D．To Work or not to Work？組卷：1引用：2難度：0.5

An old wooden seat that Susan extremely valued often reminded her of mother's Golden Rule.
Back in the 1930s，the country life was really tough.One day after dinner，Susan's mother sat on the seat，announcing to the children the Golden Rule："Treat others the way you want to be treated." Susan reflected carefully and seriously on what her mother had said.She resolved that she would keep in mind and follow the rule.
One Saturday afternoon，she went to farmer Jason's inn（小旅館）to get the pay for her mother's washing for the guests there，which amounted to five dollars.She found Jason in the yard，who，as all the villagers knew，was selfish and mean.
His eyes clouded with anger，as he had just finished a quarrel with one of his guests.He held in his hand an open wallet，full of bills.He barely noticed Susan until she made her request for the money.Instead of shouting at her，as usual，for troubling him when he was busy，he handed her a bank note.
Feeling relieved for escaping from Jason so easily，Susan hurried out of the inn.When carefully putting the money into her pocket，she discovered that Jason had given her two bills instead of one，and her first reaction was joy at the unexpected prize.She looked around and there was nobody nearby to share her discovery."It is mine.All mine." she said to herself."I will buy mum a new coat with it，and she can give her old one to sister Mary，and then Mary can go to the Sunday school with me next winter.I wonder if I can buy a pair of shoes for brother Tom too."
Just at that moment，she realized that Jason must have given the extra money to her by mistake，and therefore she had no right to own it.But a voice of temptation（誘惑）whispered，"He gave it，and you can keep it.He will never know，even if it is a mistake."
As Susan hurried home，this conflict went on in her mind.__________
Susan's face became red with embarrassment and annoyance.__________組卷：1引用：3難度：0.2
