　　The pickle jar(泡菜壇), as far back as I can remember, sat beside the dresser in my parents’ bedroom. When he got ready for bed, dad would toss any coins that were in his pockets into the jar, as they dropped, they landed with a merry jingle(叮當(dāng)聲).

　　Whenever the jar was full, dad would sit at the kitchen table and roll up the coins before taking them to the bank.

　　Every time, as he slid the box of rolled coins across the counter at the bank toward the casher(收銀員), he would smile proudly and say: “These are for my son’s college fund(基金).”

　　We would always celebrate each deposit(儲蓄) by stopping for an ice cream cone. Dad would show me the coins in his change and say: “when we get home, we’ll start filling the jar again.” He always let me drop the first coins into the empty jar. “You might have to get to college on loose change,” he said. “But you’ll get there.”

The years passed, and I went to college, married and took a job in another town.

　　Once, while visiting my parents, I noticed that the pickle jar was gone. It had served its purpose. My dad was a man of few words, and he never lectured me on the values of determination, perseverance(毅力) of faith. The pickle jar had taught me all of those far better than the most flowery of words could have done.

　　Soon, my daughter Jessica was born. We spent Christmas that year with my parents. After dinner, Mom and Dad sat next to each other on the sofa, taking turns holding their first grandchild. When Jessica began to cry, my wife Susan took her from Dad’s arms to put her in her crib(嬰兒床) in my parents’ room.

　　Susan came back with tears in her eyes. She led me into my parent’s room. “Look,” she said softly. To my surprise, there, next to the dresser, as if it had never been removed, stood the old pickle jar, the bottom already covered with coins. I walked over to it, dug down into my pocket, and pulled out several coins. Choked by emotion, I dropped them into the jar.

　　I looked up and saw that Dad had slipped quietly into the room. Our eyes locked, and I knew he was feeling the same emotion. Neither of us spoke, because we knew that nothing had to be said.

　　根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。請把答案填涂在答題卡上。(注意：如果選E，則同時填涂AB;如果選F，則同時填涂CD;如果選G，則同時填涂AC。)

　　No fight can end, and no friendship can move on, until everyone says these little words: I’m sorry. Sometimes, though, they can be difficult to say. _______81________

　　It’s not about winning.

　　Friendships aren’t like the Super Bowl, and there should never be a winner and a loser. When you start fighting with a friend, it may feel important that you “win” the fight by proving you’re right and he is wrong, or by making him be the first to apologize.

　　In reality, you’ll BOTH LOSE if you let your fight ruin your friendship, and you will BOTH WIN if you find a way to heal it.

　　_______82_______

　　You may have heard the expression “His pride stood in the way.” It is usually used to describe a person who is so determined to be “right” that he lets an opportunity for happiness pass him by forever. _______83______ Remember: as time goes on, we usually forget who was right and who was wrong in a disagreement, and only remember the sadness of losing a friend.

　　Take the first step.

Are you sick of fighting? Do you think this fight is just not important enough to ruin your friendship?

　　_______84_______ You don’t have to take full responsibility(責(zé)任) for starting the fight, or even say that your feelings were wrong. But you should find something you did or said that’s worth apologizing for. Maybe you’re sorry that you let the fight go for so long, or that you overreacted(反應(yīng)過度) to something your friend did. If you say you’re sorry, it is like an invitation for your friend to do the same. ________85_________

　　A.Then try to be the first to apologize.

　　B.Stop thinking about you pride.

　　C.It’s about taking some responsibility for the argument.

　　D.Don’t let this happen to a friendship you care about.

　　E.Here are some things to keep in mind.

　　F.There are some special cases when you shouldn’t be the one to apologize first.

　　G.Once you’ve both said it, you’ll both feel a million times better.

　　V. 寫作(滿分15分)

　　One possible version:

　　It has been almost two months since I came to this school. I can well remember when I knew I would study in this amazing high school, how excited I was. But now sometimes I feel a little upset, because I meet with some difficulties in my life and study as well. As a fresh student in senior 1, this is the first time that I have left my parents to live in a boarding school, so sometimes I feel homesick and unhappy. Besides, as there are so many excellent students around me, I feel extremely stressed.

　　However, I know it’s no use feeling sad and worried, so I decide to do something to change the situation. First of all, in order to make good use of my time, I should make a schedule. Only in this way can I study all the subjects efficiently. In addition, I should be active in making new friends and getting along well with my classmates and roommates, which will free me from loneliness and homesickness.

　　I believe with my determination and a positive attitude I will overcome all the difficulties. “After all, tomorrow is another day.”

　　Listening script

　　Ask John Morse, publisher of Merriam-Webster Dictionaries, to name the word that defines the close of the millennium and he doesn’t hesitate: “Internet”.

　　The Internet has swept into the American vocabulary and given birth to so many new words and phrases---- netizens, chat room and home page, among them---- that it has come to represent an era in social history.

　　“We first started seeing a number of citations in 1994, and by 1998 it was established in the dictionary,” Morse says, “It was just astounding.”

Just a century ago, another form of communication swept into the language. In the 1898 edition of Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, the hot new word was “telephone”. It brought massive social change and reshaped the way people did business, just as the Internet is doing today.

　　“Telephone” was no easy linguistic act to follow. It helps bring into popular usage a wide range of new words and phrases---- busy signals, wrong numbers, voice mails, cell phones. It also gave the United States its standard greeting: Hello.

　　But “Internet” is holding its own, in part by borrowing words from older technologies and giving them new meanings, such as “bookmark”, “copy” and “browser”.

　　Indeed, “Internet” has created a new vocabulary that has come to represent a historical era of change
