The Go-Giver, by Bob Burg and John David Mann

The Road Less Travelled, by Scott Peck

Fifteen years ago, I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy. After climbing up a hill for a panoramic(全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.
Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.
Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so content in her observation. I didn’t want to mess with that.
Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.
This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured(捕捉) and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall?
A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I don’t even know has been immortalized(使……永存). In some ways, she lives in my house.
Perhaps we all live in each others’ spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us.
That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass.
24. What happened when the author was about to take a photo?
A. Her camera stopped working.
B. A woman blocked her view.
C. Someone asked her to leave.
D. A friend approached from behind.
25. In the author’s opinion, what makes the photo so alive?
A. The rich color of the landscape.
B. The perfect positioning of the camera.
C. The woman’s existence in the photo.
D. The soft sunlight that summer day.
26. The photo on the bedroom wall enables the author to better understand ________.
A. the need to be close to nature
B. the importance of private space
C. the joy of the vacation in Italy
D. the shared passion for beauty
27. The passage can be seen as the author’s reflections upon _______.
A. a particular life experience
B. the pleasure of traveling
C. the art of photography
D. a lost friendship
C
Given that many people's moods (情绪)are regulated by the chemical action of chocolate, it was probably only a matter of time before somebody made the chocolate shop similar to a drug store of Chinese medicine. Looking like a setting from the film Charlie&the Chocolate Factory, Singapore's Chocolate Research Facility (CRF) has over 100 varieties of chocolates. Its founder is Chris Lee who grew up at his parents' corner store with one hand almost always in the jar of sweets.
If the CRF seems to be a smart idea, that's because Lee is not merely a seasoned salesperson but also head of a marketing department that has business relations with big names such as Levi's and Sony. That idea surely results in the imagination at work when it comes to making different flavored(味道)chocolates.
CRF's produce is "green"，made within the country and divided into 10 lines, with the Alcohol Series being the most popular. The Exotic Series一with Sichuan pepper, red bean (豆)，cheese and other flavors一also does well and is fun to taste. And for chocolate snobs，who think that they have a better knowledge of chocolate than others, the Connoisseur Series uses cocoa beans from Togo, Cuba, Venezuela , and Ghana, among others.
28. What is good about chocolate?
A. It helps improve the state of mind.
B. It works as an effective medicine.
C. It serves as a suitable gift.
D. It strengthens business relations.
29. Why is Chris Lee able to develop his idea of the CRF?
A. He knows the importance of research.
B. He learns from shops of similar types.
C. He has a lot of marketing experience.
D. He has the support of many big names
30. Which line of the CRF produce sells best?
A. The Connoisseur Series.
B. The Exotic Series.
C. The Sichuan Series.
D. The Alcohol Series.
31. The words "chocolate snobs" in Paragraph 3 probably refer to people who_____.
A. look down upon others
B. know little about cocoa beans
C. are particular about chocolate
D. like to try new flavors
D
GUATEMALA CITY （Reuters）– A fish that lives in mangrove swamps（红树沼泽）
across the Americas can live out of water for months at a time, similar to how animals adapted（适应）to land millions of years ago, a new study shows.
The Magrove Rivulus, a type of small killifish, lives in small pools of water in a certain type of empty nut or even old beer cans in the mangrove swamps of Belize, the United States and Brazil. When their living place dries up, they live on the land in logs（圆木），said Scott T aylor, a researcher at the Brevard Endangered Lands Program in Florida.
The fish, whose scientific name is Rivulus marmoratus, can grow as large as three inches. They group together in logs and breathe air through their skin until they can find water again.
The new scientific discovery came after a trip to Belize.
“We kicked over a log and the fish just came crowding out,” Taylor told Reuters in neighboring Guatgemala by telephone. He said he will make his study on the fish known to the public in an American magazine early next year.
In lab tests, Taylor said he found the fish can live up to 66 days out of water without eating.
Some other fish can live out of water for a short period of time. The walking catfish found in Southeast Asia can stay on land for hours at times, while lungfish found in Australia, Africa and South America can live out of water, but only in an inactive state. But no other known fish can be out of water as long as the Mangrove Rivulus and remain active, according to Patricia Wright, a biologist at Canada’s University of Guelph.
Further studies of the fish may tell how animals changed over time.
“These animals live in conditions s imilar to those that existed millions of years ago, when animals began making the transition（过渡）from water onto land,” Wright said.
32. The Mangrove Rivulus is a type of fish that _______.
A. likes eating nuts
B. prefers living in dry places
C. is the longest living fish on earth
D. can stay alive for two months out of water
33. Who will write up a report on Mangrove Rivulus?
A. Patricia Wright
B. Researchers in Guatemala
C. Scientists from Belize
D. Scott T aylor
34. According to the text, lungfish can________
A. breathe through its skin
B. move freely on dry land
C. remain alive out of water
D. be as active on land as in water
35. What can we say about the discovery of Mangrove Rivulus?
A. It was made quite by accident
B. It was based on a lab test of sea life
C. It was supported by an American magazine
D. It was helped by Patricia Wright
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Improve your English through Reading
Right now you are reading English. That means that you are using your brain in a very active way. Reading is a very active process. 36 . When you read a text, you have to do some or all of these:
imagine a scene in your head
understand clearly what the writer is trying to say
agree or disagree with the writer
There are also some advantages associated with reading, including
37 .
You will usually meet with new words when you read. If there are too many new words for you, then the level is too high and you should read something simpler. But if there are, say, a maximum of five new words per page, you will learn this vocabulary easily. You may not even need to use a dictionary because you can guess the meaning from the rest of the text. 38 .
Giving a model for writing
When you read, it gives you a good example for writing. Texts that you read show you structures and expressions that you can use when you write.
Seeing “correctly s tructured” English
When people write, they usually use “correct” English with a proper grammatical structure. 39 . So, by reading you see and learn grammatical English naturally.
40 . You can read as fast or as slowly as you like. You can read ten pages in 30
minutes, or take one hour to explore just one page. It doesn’t matter. The choice is yours. You cannot easily do this when speaking or listening. This is one of the big advantages of reading because different people work at different speeds.
A. Working at your own speed
B. Learning vocabulary in context（语境）
C. This is not always true when people speak
D. Focusing on what you want to learn
E. You should write down unknown vocabulary in whole sentences
F. Not only do you learn new words, but you see them being used naturally
G. It is true that the writer does a lot of work, but the reader also has to work hard

My soccer coach retired in last week. I wanted to do anything special for him at his retirement party. My mum makes the better biscuits in the world, so I decide to ask her for help. Mum taught me some basic step of baking. I insisted on doing most
of the baking myself. I thought the biscuits were really well. My only mistake was that I dropped some on the floor after I was packing them up.
At a party, my coach, with a biscuit in his mouth, asked surprisingly who made them and joked, “I might have to retire again next year just get some more of these biscuits.”

Dear Wang Bing,
I’m glad to receive your letter asking for my advice on how to prepare for the National College Entrance Examination.
Here are a few suggestions. First, it is important to make a plan before you start the general revision and you must carry it out strictly. Then pay more attention to the knowledge you have neglected, analyze your own problems and try to fine out the solutions. Besides, it should be a good idea to take enough exercise, choose nutrition food and don’t stay up too late. A good sleep and physical condition will be a great help for you to have energy to study.
I hope you can make great progress.
Best wishes.
Zhangming
1 .D 解析句意为：我听到了绝望的声音。

listen to“听到”。

A、B、C三项均没有“听到”的意思。

2.A 解析struggle意为“挣扎，斗争”；cry意为“哭，喊叫”；yell意为“叫喊”；test 意为“测试”。

由第二段第四句中“the struggle is part of trap”的提示可知，此处应选用struggle。

3.B 解析bird意为“鸟”；fly意为“苍蝇”；insect意为“昆虫”；worm意为“爬虫”。

由第二段第五句中的“the fly to try hard enough to succeed in...”可知，B项正确。

4.D 解析experience意为“经验，经历”；direction意为“方向”；force意为“武力”；attempt意为“尝试”。

根据上下文语境可知，苍蝇正在尝试穿过玻璃飞出去。

5.D 解析thus意为“因而”；so意为“所以”；although意为“虽然”；however意为“然而”。

句意为：虽然苍蝇不断地尝试穿过玻璃窗，然而并不奏效。

前后两句是转折关系。

6.C解析unusual“不同寻常的”；likely“可能的”；impossible“不可能的”；common“寻常的”。

由常识可知，苍蝇是不可能成功穿过玻璃飞出去的。

7 .B解析dig“挖掘”；break“打破”；push“推”；jump“跳”。

短语break through 意为“突破，冲破”，符合语境。

8 B解析kill“杀死”；die“死”；lie“撒谎，躺”；stick“粘贴”。

由常识判断，如果苍蝇不断地撞击玻璃，就会死在那里。

9 A解析away“距离……远”；far“远的”；near“近的”；distant“远的”。

away用在名词后，表示距离某地有多远，符合语境。

10 D解析dream“梦想”；think of“考虑”；miss“怀念，错过”；long for“渴望”。

句意为：只需十秒钟的飞行，这只苍蝇就能飞到外面它所渴望的世界。

11 C解析do“做，完成”；own“拥有”；waste“浪费”；plan“计划”。

根据语境可知，它之前的努力都白费了，故C项符合语境。

12 B解析aim“目的，目标”；trap“陷阱”；net“网”；goal“目的”。

由第二段第四句中的“the struggle is part of the trap”可知，trap符合语境，即自我设置的陷阱。

13 A解析easy“轻松的，容易的”；necessary“必要的”；hard“艰难的”；obvious“明显的”。

句意为：突破的可能性就在那里，是那么简单。

14 D解析something“某事，某物”，常用于肯定句；anything“任何事物”，常用于否定句和疑问句。

在表示请求、建议或征求意见的疑问句中常用something。

15 A解析that可引导定语从句，也可引导名词性从句；what引导名词性从句；which引导形容词性从句；where可引导定语从句和状语从句。

从句中不缺任何成分，且句中先行词是idea，所以其后要用that来引导同位语从句，对idea进行补充
16 A解析sense“感觉，意识”，常和make构成短语，make sense意为“有意义”；difference“区别，不同”；effect“影响”；effort“努力”。

句意为：毫无疑问，这种方法对这只苍蝇来说是有意义的。

17 D解析在solution的后面常跟to表示的不定式，是固定搭配。

意为“解析法”。

18 C解析advice“建议”；support“支持，支撑”；hope“希望”；power“力量”。

此处与最后一段中的“If you________your hopes for a．..”相照应，故用hope符合语境。

19 A解析risk“冒险，冒……的风险”；get“获得”；make“制作”；take“带走”。

句意为：如果你冒险把你的希望放在比以往更艰难的突破上，你就可能有扼杀成功的机会。

20 B解析fail“失败”；kill“杀死”；achieve“获得，达到”；fulfill“执行，履行”由
百度文库语境可知，此处应用kill。
