Life is difficult.
It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it. Then life is no longer difficult.
Most do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties represent(代表) a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.
What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness, or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.
Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, “Those things that hurt, instruct.” It is for this reason that wise people learnt not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.
1. From the passage, it can be inferred that ______.
A. everyone has problems B. we become stronger by meeting and solving the problems of life
C. life is difficult because our problems bring us pain
D. people like to complain about their problems
2. The writer probably used just one short sentence in the first paragraph to ____.
A. save space B. persuade readers C. make readers laugh D. get readers’ attention
3. The main idea of Paragraph 3 is that _____.
A. most people feel life is easy B. the writer feel life is easy
C. the writer like to complain about his problems
D. most people complain about how hard their lives are
4. According to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to ____.
A. encourage them to learn B. teach them to fear the pain of solving the problem
C. help them learn to deal with pain D. teach them how to escape from problems
5. The saying form Benjamin Franklin “Those things that hurt, instruct” suggests that ____.
A. we do not learn from experience B. we do not learn when we are in pain
C. pain teaches us important lessons D. pain cannot be avoided

Driving Offence Points System
What is Driving Offence Points System?
After the introduction of this system, certain traffic offences will earn the driver points besides other punishments. If a driver makes any of these offences, the points will be recorded. When the driver gets a certain number of points, he will be forbidden to drive for a certain amount of time.
What are the purposes of this system?
This is a system designed to make road much safer. It can improve standards of driving and reduce the accident rates.
Which traffic offences will result in Driving Offence Points? Of course, not all traffic offences are covered by this system. Only those that have direct effect on road safety are included. There are altogether fourteen items.
| Code | Offence | Points |
| 1 | Causing death by dangerous driving | 10 |
| 2 | Dangerous driving | 10 |
| 3 | Careless driving | 5 |
| 4 | Driving after drinking or taking drugs | 10 |
| 5 | Driving over speed limit by more than 15 km/hour | 3 |

| 12 | Failing to obey traffic signals | 3 |
| 13 | Failing to give way to walkers at a crosswalk Failing to stop for people walking | 3 |
| 14 | Failing to stop at school crossing | 3 |
What will happen if you have got up to 10 points?
If you have got 10 points or about, but still less than 15 points, you will receive a warning letter from the Transport Department. This letter will tell your record of Driving Offence Points and remind you of the result of getting more points. It is hoped that this warning will change your driving behavior for the better.
What will happen if you have got 15 points?
If you have got 15 points or more within two years, a court will take away your driving license. The first time you are found guilty you will not be able to drive for three months, but if you are caught a second time you will not be able to drive for six months.

C
If you walk slowly through downtown Helsinki during the day, taking in the splendid 19th century buildings, white boats and noise of passing trams(有轨电车), you will start to understand why it is called a city of two colors: white and blue.
The sea is always present in Helsinki. When you take a walk over the great open space of the central square, you will hear seabirds screaming. When you take the tram, suddenly and unexpectedly you are faced with a calm, shining blue sea. You may notice that people in Helsinki do not rush about as in other cities. Instead, they walk along the roads, politely letting other people by.
A usual way to see Helsinki for the first time is to start out by the boats. You will walk by the elderly women selling fish and vegetables in the market square and find yourself in front of a beautiful park. You may enjoy a pleasant walk in the park for a few hours and then take the tram. Trams are the perfect way to get around in Helsinki. Watching the old houses, parks, theatres, churches, shops, restaurants and people in the streets, you may have a slightly sad film feeling to it.
The pale summer nights are another wonder in the city. Following the waterfront(滨水区) of the city after sunset, you couldn’t help stopping and listening to the sweet silence, interrupted only by the screaming seabirds and leaving fishing boats.
However, in some way, Helsinki is also the most modern city in northern Europe. You will surely want to visit the white Glass Palace, the modern art museum, and all those extremely popular cafes and design stores.
9. Helsinki is called a city of two colors mainly because of the colors of its ____.
A. 19th century buildings, boats and parks B. 19th century buildings, boats and seabirds
C. old houses, parks and trams D. old buildings, boats and the sea
10. The best way to see most of Helsinki is to go ____.
A. by boat B. by bus C. by tram D. on foot
11. The 19th century buildings, the white Glass Palace, popular cafes and design shops in Helsinki all show that Helsinki is ____.
A. both splendid and traditional B. both and quiet and noisy
C. both historical and modern D. both old and new
12. This passage is most likely to be found in ____.
A. a story-book B. a geography textbook C. a research report D. a travel magazine

复习综合卷参考答案：
单项选择：
CADAB DBBBB
完形填空：
通读全文可知，本文是议论文。全文讲述了做自己喜欢的工作的好处：做自己喜欢的工作，坚持不懈，且目标明确，你就一定会获得成功。
DACBA ACBCD ABCDA CBABB
1 .D 联系全文，可知作者在此谈论尽早做自己喜欢做的工作的必要性。选项A有一定干扰性。从第二段作者举的例子（一个想成为艺术家的人）我们可看出，作者认为无论是兼职，还是不拿报酬做自己喜欢做的工作都是必要的。
2. A 从下一句得知，Albert Einstein起初没有得到物理教授的工作。
3. C relate to 在这里是“与…有关”的意思。爱因斯坦没能找到物理教授的工作，他觉得自己不适合物理方面的工作。
4. B instead 在这里相当于instead of getting a job as a physics professor.
5. A 选项C 有一定干扰性，while employed 等于while he was employed.状语从句主从句主语一致才可以省略
6. A the invention 指爱因斯坦的理论发明
7. C 从前文我们得知，Einstein起初想做物理教授，没有大学想要他。现在他出名了，都要他.
8. B 从后面supporting yourself by waiting tables可知，以艺术为自己向往的工作，做饭店服务员只是为了挣钱养活自己。
9. C 空格前的who 在这里代表a waiter，本句的意思是“不要把自己看成一个有一天能成为艺术家的饭店服务员”显然作者认为，你应该把自己看成艺术家，而不是服务员
10. D 本句首的that指“认为自己是一个有一天能成为艺术家的服务员”；work指“成为艺术家”， 本句的意思是“那只能让你喜欢的工作（成为艺术家）留在遥远的将来。
11. A 本句首的rather表示否定，相当与instead. 注意本句的结构：supporting yourself by waiting tables为状语，think yourself as an artist and paint, or draw为句子主要成分，and 前后的谓语动词为并列结构，因此A为最佳答案。
12． B “一星期做24小时的服务员也许能挣得生存的薪水“possible表示可能性
13．C “一星期做24小时的服务员，那就会留下足够的时间投身于培训或增进手艺。“
14．D off用作形容词，表示“其余的”
15．A 分析本句结构是选择此答案的关键。While seeking the work you love 是时间状语从句，you love即that you love， 作定语修饰work,因此it helps to…为主句。 It 为形式主语，真正的主语是不定式，help“有帮助，起作用”的意思
16. C 从下一句可知，作者在此认为你不应该把自己局限到(limited to)你应该是什么或已成为什么的观念上
17． B 从下半句可得此答案
18．A 先是打开所有的可能，然后作出最后决定，最后选出最喜欢的
19． B 意为“做你所喜欢的工作，要求你把想像和实际平等对待。”
20．B 从后文我们得知the imaginative指big, the practical指all the little details.

书面表达：
All the Senior Three students have their own view/points on choosing majors for their university education. Some consider that only when they choose the beloved majors, can they have the push that help them learn better, and can they finish university successfully and can they achieve the worth of their life. However, quite a few students would like to choose hot majors such as art, which they think can lead to a bright future.
As for me, I’d like to choose a major which I’m interested in, and only in this way, can I learn well. Because I believe that a good knowledge of one major can result in a beloved job in the future.
