蚌埠二中高二英语期中试题

I always have the dream to dance like a beautiful ballerina twirling(旋转)around and around and hearing people applaud for me. When I was young, I would twirl in the fields of wildflowers that grew in my 36 . For hours I would dance 37 people were watching me. 38 woke me up when I heard a voice saying，“I don't know why you 39 trying to dance. Ballerinas are pretty, slender little girls. 40 ,you don't have the talent to 41 be a ballerina." I remember how those words paralyzed(使瘫痪)every 42 in my body. I fell to the ground and wept for hours.

We lived in the country by a nearby lake and I would sometimes go there to hide I enjoyed 43 by the water. I would sit there for hours and stare at my 44 . There I was, looked 45 like a pretty ballerina dancer. Reflections don't 46 . Once the waves would come, my reflection was 47 , washed away just like my 48 . I sat there staring at the water, hoping that my reflection would reappear and be 49 .

As I grew older, I began to realize that the dream I had was never 50 , so it slowly died. It's not that I wanted it to die, 51 I allow it to die the day I started listening to the words. "You can't do it." When I 52 woke up from many years of dreaming, I realized that you can't just keep 53 in the wildflowers, you have to move on to the 54 . I still go to the lake sometimes and sit there. Looking at my reflection is different now too. When I was young, I looked at how others saw me, now that I am older and 55 ; I look at how God sees me.

第三部分 阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

As the economy begins to recover, salary increases should do the same.

In the past few years, employers have raised workers’ salaries by about 4 percent per year-except for 2009, when the figure dropped to 2.1 percent, according to a survey of world at Work. About one-third of companies froze raises altogether.

For 2010, world at Work’s survey projects an average salary increase budget of 2.7 percent, a figure that shows the situation has improved but the job market is still weak. Between 10 percent and 15 percent of companies said they would freeze raises-far fewer than in 2009, but still more than in most years.

How can you get a rise? Avalos and others offer the following tips:

*Do your job well. This means producing high-quality work, of course, but also keeping the big picture in mind..

“It really comes down to positioning yourself as a high performer, somebody who is aware of business goals and helps the company meet their goals as an organization,” Avalos said.

*Be visible. When times are hard, some workers think, “I’m going to down and hope that nobody notices me, because I don’t want to be on a layoff(解雇) list,” said Richard Phillips, owner of Advantage Career Solutions. This is a mistake, because you’re unlikely to get a rise if no one knows what you have done. “If anything, what you want to do is to be more visible.”

*Make your boss’s life easier. This means everything from having a good attitude to taking on extra tasks. If you don’t know how you can help your boss, ask.

*Ask for a rise. Talk to your boss and present your case: Here’s what I’ve done, here’s how it fits with the company’s goals, here is why I think it’s worth a salary increase. In some cases, even if your company has an official raise freeze, you can get a rise if you make a good case.

If the answer is no-or if you’re not ready to ask directly-Phillips suggests asking, “What would you like to see from me that would put me in line for a rise?”

A question like this can improve your standing. “Just asking the question says to the boss, ‘I’m thinking about where I fit in here, what I can do’,” Phillips said. “That in and of itself has value.”
