WHILE Christmas shopping in a jewelry store, I discovered a table of golden ornaments(饰品) on sale. So beautiful in 21 , each had a personality of all its own. I looked through hundreds of pieces, 22 a few and took them home.

第一节：阅读下列短文，然后从所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A
It’s impossible to determine how many people would have lost their lives without the contribution of African-American inventor Dr Charles Drew.
Charles Drew was born on June 3, 1904, in Washington, DC. His early interest was in education, but he was also an outstanding athlete. While in college, he was awarded as the man who contributed the most to sports during his four years in school. Drew’s sister Elsie suffered from tuberculosis(肺结
4 / 16
核) and died in 1920. Her death influenced his decision to study medicine.
After becoming a doctor and working as a college instructor, Drew went to Columbia University, where he earned his Doctor of Medical Science degree. During this time he became involved in research on blood and blood transfusions (输血).
At Columbia, he wrote a paper on “banked blood”, in which he described a technique he developed for the long-term preservation of blood plasma (血浆). Before his discovery, blood could not be stored for more than two days because of the rapid breakdown of red blood cells. Drew had discovered that by separating the plasma from the whole blood and then refrigerating(冷冻) them separately, they could be combined a week later for a blood transfusion. Drew became the first African American to receive a PhD in medical science.
After World War II broke out, Drew was called upon to put his techniques into practice. He was named a project director for the American Red Cross but soon quit his post after the government issued an order that blood taken from white donors(献血者) should be separated from that of black donors.
On April 1, 1950, after he attended the annual free clinic at the John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital, he and other three physicians decided to drive back home. As he was tired from spending the night before in the operating room, he lost control of his car. Drew was badly injured and was taken to Alamance General Hospital in Burlington, North Carolina. He was pronounced dead half an hour after he first received medical attention. Drew's funeral was held on April 5, 1950, at the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church in Washington, DC.
But contrary to popular legend, he was not refused a blood transfusion by an all-white hospital. He indeed received a transfusion but was beyond the help of the physicians attending to him. As Dr. John Ford, one of the doctors who survived the accident, later explained, “We all received the very best of care. The fact that he was a Black did not in any way limit the care that was given to him.” Over the years, Drew has been considered one of the most honored figures in the medical field.

Americans have always been firm believers of what William James called “the bitch goddess success”. Self-help guidance books have topped the bestseller lists since Benjamin Franklin published his autobiography. Americans are much more likely than Europeans to believe that people can get ahead in life so long as they are willing to work hard. And they are much more likely to choose a high-paying job that carries a risk of redundancy(裁员) than a lower-paid job that guarantees security.
But you can’t have winners without losers (or how would you know how well you are doing?). And you can’t broaden opportunity without also broadening the opportunity to fail. For example,blacks could not blame themselves for their failure in the “race of life”, in Abraham Lincoln’s phrase, because at that time they were prevented from so many parts of it. But now although the barriers are lifted, the picture of the blacks’ life is morecomplexAll of which creates a huge problem: how exactly should a highly-competitivesociety deal with its losers? It’s all very well to note that drunkards and lazybones get what they deserve. But what about thehonest toilers? One way to deal with the problem is to offer people as many second chances as possible. In his new book “Born Losers: A History of Failure in America”, Scott Sandage argues that in the mid-nineteenth century people held a different view of failure—from something that had described a bad business to something that defined a whole life.
Yet one of the outstanding things about America is how strongly it has refused to hold the idea that there is any such thing as a born loser. American schools don’t divide their pupils into groups acco rding to their ability much longer than the European schools: the whole point is to fit in rather than stand out. American higher education has many points of entry and reentry. And the American legal system has some of the most generous bankruptcy(破产) rules in the world. In Europe, a bankrupt is often still a ruined man。

in America, he is a risk-taking one.
American history—not to mention American folk tales—is filled with examples of people who tried and tried again until they made a success of their
8 / 16
lives. Lincoln was a bankrupt storekeeper. Henry Ford was a continuous failure. At 40, Thomas Watson, the architect of IBM, faced prison. America’s past is also full of people who came back from disaster. A second way to deal with losers is to celebrate them. Perhaps in reaction to the nonstop development of business life, American popular culture often sympathizes with losers. But even in the loser-loving bits of popular culture, the American success is always achieved in spite of difficulties. More often than not, born losers turn out to be winners at last.
50.Why do Americans prefer a high-paying job according to the passage?
A. Because they are fond of taking risks.
B. Because they are devoted to working hard.
C. Because they are eager to achieve success.
D. Because they are interested in reading bestsellers.
51.The underlined words “honest toilers” (Paragraph 3) can best be described
as people who are _________.
A. hard-working
B. reliable
C. wealthy
D. determined
52. The fourth paragraph is written to _________.
A. compare American education system with that of Europe
B. introduce some generous rules of American legal system
C. show that America is ready to give people second chances
D. explain the reason why Americans refuse to be born losers
53. The writer may most probably agree with the idea that ___________.
A. America is a country not fit for black people
B. born losers have already disappeared in modern American society
C. there is always a dislike of people who are crazy about promoting
business
D. American society has gradually changed the attitude towards failure over
the years
54. Which of the following is mainly conveyed in the passage?
A. Success comes first.
B. More winners, more losers.
C. History is full of changes and advances.
D. Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again.
D
Buck did not read the newspapers, or he would have known that trouble was coming, not only for himself, but for every big dog, strong of muscle and with
9 / 16
long, warm hair in California. Men had found gold in the Yukon, and these men wanted big, strong dogs to work in the cold and snow of the north.
Buck lived at a big house in the sun-kissed Santa Clara valley. Judge Miller’s place, it was called. There were large gardens and fields of fr uit trees around the house, and a river nearby. In a big place like this, of course, there were many dogs. There were house dogs and farm dogs, but they were not important. Over this great land Buck ruled. Here he was born and here he had lived the four years of his life. He was not so large-he weighed only one hundred and forty pounds. But he had saved himself by not becoming a mere housedog. Hunting and outdoor delights had kept down the fat and hardened his muscles. He went swimming with Judge Miller’s s ons, and walking with his daughters. He carried the grandchildren on his back, and he sat at Judge Miller’s feet in front of the warm library fire in winter. During the four years, he had a fine pride in himself which came of good living and universal resp ect. He was king of Judge Miller’s place.
But this was 1897, and Buck did not know that men and dogs were hurrying to north-west Canada to look for gold. And he did not know that Manuel, one of the gardener’s helpers, was in bad need of money for his hobb y of gambling(赌博) and for his large family. One day, The Judge was at a meeting and the boys were busy organizing an athletic club. No one saw Manuel and Buck go off on what Buck imagined was merely an evening walk. Only one man saw them arrive at the railway station. This man talked to Manuel, and gave him some money. Then Manuel tied a piece of rope around Buck’s neck.
Buck had accepted the rope with quiet dignity(自尊). He had learned to trust in men he knew and to give them credit. But when the ends of the rope were placed in the stranger’s hands, Buck roared, and was surprised when the rope tightened around his neck, shutting off his breath. In extreme anger, he jumped at the man. The man caught him and suddenly Buck was thrown over on his back. Then the rope tightened cruelly while Buck struggled, his tongue out of his mouth. Never in all his life had he been so badly treated. Never in all his life had he been so angry. For a few moments he was unable to move, and it was easy for the two men to put him into the train.
When Buck woke up, the train was still moving. The man was sitting and watching him, but Buck was too quick for him and he bit the man’s hand hard. Then the rope was pulled again and Buck had to let go.
That evening, the man took Buck to the back room of a bar in San Francisco. The barman looked at the man’s hand and trousers covered in blood.
10 / 16
“How much are they paying you for this?” he asked.
“Only get fifty dollars.”
“And the man who stole him—how much did he get?” asked the barman.
“A hundred. He wouldn’t take less.”
“That makes a hundred and fifty. It's a good price for a dog like him.”
Buck spent that night in a cage-like box. He could not understand what it all meant. What did they want with him, these strange men? And where were Judge Miller and the boys?
The next day Buck was carried in the box to the railway station and put on
a train to the north.
55.What information about Buck does Paragraph 2 suggest?
A. He was satisfied with his life and felt proud of himself.
B. He won great respect due to his nice figure and strong muscles.
C.He was no different from the other dogs in Judge Miller’s place.
D. He kept the Millers company to set himself apart from the other dogs.
56.Why did Buck go to the railway station together with Manuel on that day?
A. The Millers were busy and forgot his evening walk.
B. He considered it a real delight to stay with Manuel.
C. He had never thought that Manuel would hurt him.
D. He wasn’t informed of Manuel’s financial situation.
57.Buck burst into anger when _____________.
A. a rope was tied around his neck
B.the rope around his neck was pulled
tight
C.he was taken away from the Millers
D. he was left behind with a stranger
58.From the passage we can know that ______________.
A.the man paid one hundred and fifty dollars for Buck
B.Manuel was dying for money and joined in the gold rush
C.Buck experienced great pain until he was put into the train
D. strong dogs were in great need for the discovery of gold in Canada
59.At the end of the passage we can infer that _______________.
A. Buck was hopeless about his future
B. Buck got both his body and his pride hurt
C. Buck was sure that the Millers would come to his rescue
D. Buck realized he was being sent to the north to help people seek gold
60. What is the writer’s at titude towards Buck?
A. Regretful.
B. Critical(批判的).
C. Positive.

61. ___________________
WL: It is a school of hip hop,which is the way I like to think of it. It combines Chinese elements and sounds. I started it off in my last album called Shangrila. And this album combines the music of ethnic minorities, in China, in Tibet, and in Mongol ia. It’s beautiful and original to Chinese culture. And this new album called Heroes of Earth combines Opera and Quen-chu, which are thousand-year-old traditions also unique to Chinese culture. Very unique instruments, costumes, singing styles. I don’t thi nk anyone has ever done this before in the hip hop world.
62. ___________________
WL: Um, just the large quantity of work that I have to come up with. I produce for other artists and compose for them as well. And there are a lot of changes in music going on right now in Asia. And it’s really exciting so I decided that I’m going to need a studio in New York. I’m going to need a studio in Taipei. And maybe the rest I can get by with just my laptop.
63. ___________________
WL: Well, I started doing musical theatre. And I loved it so much from the age of 13, you know. Actually in 2000, I did my first movie and ever since then
12 / 16
I’ve been enjoying doing movies. I don’t think I’m much of an actor. But I just love being surrounded by creative people and a lot of times doing music is a lonely struggle, especially composing, and arranging, producing my own albums. Acting, every day you get called and you’re surrounded by other actors and creative people.
64. ___________________
WL: The first time I won, like you just said, when I was 22, it meant a lot to me. It was like…I didn’t know I could make this happen. I didn’t know I could get this kind of recognition. So back then, it was huge increase of confidence. And I don’t want to say vanity(虚荣心), but confidence. I think every artist needs confidence.
65. ___________________
WL: Well, it can be a real pain in the neck. You know, I feel lucky that I can go back to New York and not be recognized and not be followed. At times it can be really, really annoying. Today many people own a cell phone that has a camera on it… and a blog. In the entertainment news, there’s a recent trend of journalists or media just going on to the Internet and saying “Oh, so and so saw so and so.” when they see a blog. You know, it’s completely irresponsible but in the blog what he says can become the title of the newspaper article.
