22．（8分）He was the man who inspired the Beat Generation, and nearly half a century after his death Jack Kerouac is still receiving grateful letters from his fans.
Most letters are sent in the post to his last home in St Petersburg, Florida, and the mail box in the front yard is full to bursting. But others are delivered by hand, pushed under the front door or left on the doorstep.
They usually thank the author of On the Road for inspiring them to travel and be independent. “You remind me to stay true to who you are and to encourage a sense of adventure in all of us.” reads one letter, handwritten by “Cindy” on paper covered with pictures of butterflies and flowers. She adds, “I hope you’re writing, liberated and drinking a glass of wine.”
Another, signed “Friend of Jack”, reads, “I prefer to think of myself as a free spirit and a person who follows a path of her own choosing. You have always been my
inspiration.”
His home, where he was living with his mother Gabrielle and his wife Stella, has become a destination for hundreds of fans every year.
Kerouac rocketed to fame at the age of 35, with the publication of On the Road in 1957.
But after becoming a symbol and leader of the alternative lifestyle movement, he struggled with that fame and claimed that he only wanted people to read his books.
Kerouac died just 12 years after On the Road was published. He was suffering from liver problem, following years of heavy drinking largely brought on by his love-hate relationship with fame.
Kerouac, the creator of vivid characters such as Sal Paradise and Dean Moriarty, died at a St Petersburg hospital in 1969, at the age of 47.
1、Why do people still write to Kerouac after his death?
A．His wife and mother still live in his home.
B．They are also suffering from serious illness.
C．People benefiting from his books want to say thanks.
D．People hope to learn how to deal with overnight fame.
2、What is On the Road probably about?
A．How to deal with becoming famous.
B．How vivid characters can be created.
C．Teaching people to appreciate his books.
D．Getting to know oneself better through travel.
3、What can we learn about Kerouac from the text?
A．He had great difficulty dealing with fame.
B．He was depressed because people didn’t read his books.
C．He drank a lot to celebrate his being famous for his works.
D．He was scolded because he promoted an alternative lifestyle.

Not really，according to Laszlo Bock，Google's Head of People Operations.When the company was small,Google cared a lot about getting kids from Harvard,
Stanford,MIT and many other Ivy League schools. But Bock said it was the “wrong”hiring strategy. Experience has taught him there are exceptional kids at many other places,from state schools in California to New Y ork.
“What we find is the best people from places like that are just as good，if not better，as anybody you can get from any Ivy League school，”said Bock，who just authored a book titled“Work Rules!”
Every year，2 million people apply to get a job at Google. Bock himself has seen some 25,000 résumés.
So what else does Google not care about:
Grades:Google's data shows that grades predict performance for the first two years of a career，but do not matter after that.
Brain-teasers:Gone are interview questions such as:Why are manhole covers（井盖)round? or How many golf balls can fit in a school bus?“Our research tells us those questions are a waste of time,”Bock said“They’re a really coachable skill.The more you practice,you get better at it.”
Here's what Google does care about:
Problem solvers:Your cognitive ability(认知能力),or how well you solve problems.
Leaders:The idea is not whether you were president of the student body or vice president of the bank,but rather:“When you see a problem do you step in,help solve
i t,”and then critically，“Are you willing to step out and let somebody else take over，and make room for somebody else?Are you willing to give up power?”
Googleyness:That's what Google calls its cultural fit.It's not“Are you like us?”Bock said.“We actually lo ok for people who are different，because diversity gives us great ideas.”
“What's most important is that people are intellectually humble,willing to admit when they're wrong,and care about the environment around them...because we want people who think like owners not employess,”Bock said.
The least important thing?Knowing how to do the job.
“We figure if you get the first three right you'll figure it out most of the time.”
1、What does Bock mean in Paragraph 2?
A．People from state schools can be as good.
B．Google no longer hires people from Ivy League schools.
C．Hiring is a hard job for Google.
D．State schools are worse than Ivy League ones.
2、Which question belongs to a brain-teaser?
A．What are your grades like?
B．What is the significance of figuring out target users?
C．How would you improve a Google product?
D．How much toilet paper is needed to cover Texas?
3、Who is a qualified leader according to Google?
A．One eager for power. B．One capable of working independently.
C．One willing to step aside. D．One operating an organization.
4、What is Googleyness?
A．Being unique. B．Being adaptable.
C．Being qualified. D．Being loyal.
25．（10分）When most people think of the word, “brand”, they think of the Nike Swoosh, Ford “blue oval,” McDonalds Golden Arches, or the “State Farm is There” jingle. They know what theywill get with a wellbranded product or service as promised. Think of Volvo, for instance, and your first thoughts are probably something like “well built, comfortable, Swedish” and, most of all, “safety”.
So a brand is a lot more than a logo, icon, or slogan. Catchy as it may sound, it isn’t the “brand” in the true sense—and it certainly isn’t what makes the brand valuable.A company’s brand is a promise. It’s a description of the company’s character. To some extent, it’s a mission; it’s how the company creates and delivers value. Also, it’s the feeling the company conveys to its stakeholders. Successful brands meet various challenges and consistently deliver on their promises, which is how they create brand value.To illustrate it, here are some brand promises from three highly successful,
world-wide brands:The NFL: “To be the premier sports and entertainment brand that brings people together, connecting them socially and emotionally like no
other.”Coca-Co la: “To inspire moments of optimism and uplift.”VirginAtlantic: “To be genuine, fun, contemporary, and different in everything we do at a reasonable price.”
Interesting. In none of the above cases does the brand promise describe what these companies do or provide. The NFL’s brand promise says nothing about football.
Coca-Cola doesn’t talk about providing the best soft drinks in the world. And Virgin
Atlantic’s promise goes a lot farther than seating passengers in its aircrafts.
Of course, a promise is nowhere near enough. The promise along with look, personality, time, money, and hard work combined can eventually help to build and maintain great brands and acquire a special patina(光泽) of what I call “me” appeal, showing my personal appetite. Apple has that patina. All of this can lead to sub-brands, like iPhone and iPad which acquire the glory of the parent brand.
Sometimes a brand is memorable because of little things. TD Bank has a special place in their branches for you to deposit all those coins you collect in jars. It is called the Penny Arcade that turns depositing your coins into a fun game in which you can even win prizes. Years ago, Dime Savings Bank in New York had a small dime(十分硬币) carrier. It was given to kids and then they’d fill up its 50 slots (投币口) with a dime in each one and bring it to exchange for a $5 bill.
1、What can we know from the first 2 paragraphs?
A．People tend to believe in top brands because they deliverwhat is promised.
B．Well branded Swedish products are of good quality but more costly than others. C．Well branded products are faced with great challenges of quality currently.
D．A company shouldn’t care about logos because they can’t make the brand valuable.
2、In the author’s opinion, a brand promise is ___________.
A．thecontract between a company and the people who interact with it
B．the only way to build and maintain a great brand’s value
C．a description of what a company actually does for its consumers
D．an important factor contributing to the success of a brand
3、According to the passage, what isprobably “Virgin Atlantic”?
A．A financial company. B．A high-tech software product.
C．An airline company. D．An entertainment product.
4、What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Buying a certain brand says nothing about the person who buys it.
B．Little things can mean a lot and make a brand memorable.
C．Sub-brands are relatively easy to build and generate huge profits.
D．Dime Savings Bank’s dime carriers are difficult for kids to operate.

29、Dear fellow students,
I'm Li Jin, chairman of the Students' Union.
Our school has launched a program of rubbish classification. Different kinds of garbage are required to be sorted out and placed in different dustbins. Paper can be recycled, while leftovers can be collected as food for pigs or processed as fertilizer for plants. Above all, such harmful things as plastics and used batteries should not be mixed with other wastes.
The program is of great benefit. We will be able to save resources by making use of recyclable garbage and harmful things will not pollute our environment after special treatment.
Let's work together for a better campus!。
