The air we breathe is so freely available that we take it for granted. Yet without it we could not survive more than a few minutes. For the most part, the same air is available to everyone, and everyone needs it Some people use the air to live on while they sit around and fed sorry for themselves. Others breathe in the air and use the energy it provides to make a magnificent Jife for themselves.
Opportunity is the same way. It is everywhere. Opportunity is so freely available that we take it for granted. Yet opportunity alone is not enough to create success. Opportunity must be seized and acted upon in order to have value. So many people are so anxious to “get in” on a “ground floor opportunity”, as if the opportunity will do all the work. That is impossible.
Just as you need air to breathe, you need opportunity to make it. It takes more
than just breathing in the fresh air of opportunity, however. You must make use of that opportunity. That is not up to the opportunity. That is up to you. It doesn’t matter what “floor” the opportunity is on. What matters is what you do with it.
5. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A. Introduce the topic of the passage.
B. Compare air to opportunity.
C. Present the relationship between human and air.
D. To show the importance of air.
6. Which of the following may be used as the tittle of the passage?
A. Air and Opportunity
B. Seize the Opportunity
C. How to Succeed
D. Breathe the Fresh Air
7. The author wants to advise us to .
A. breathe in the air
B. sit around and feel sorry
C. be up to the opportunity
D. make use of the opportunity and act on immediately
C
There are many different voices on charity donations recently. Chen TianQiao, one of the Chinese billionaires, gave away $115 million to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to help promote brain research. Chen has been interested in the brain research, believing it can advance the industries of artificial intelligence and virtual reality. However, this huge donation has caused heated discussions among Chinese scholars and internet users.
Many criticized him for giving money to a foreign university rather than domestic institutes for brain research, which are developing fast and are catching up with the US in just a few years. RaoYi, a biologist at Peking University, even said the donation was a typical mistake.
Others, however, support his choice. They believe Caltech is a more reasonable choice compared with Chinese research Institutes. Caltech has a long history and has taken a leading position in biology, and therefore it produces more efficient results. What’s more, the results of the research will benefit not only the Americans, but
also the rest of the world.
A similar controversial (有争议的) case started two years ago when Pan ShiYi, chairman of SOHO China, donated $15 million to Harvard University to help disadvantaged Chinese Students.
Many believe that China is still far behind in management and use of donated money, and that as a result, Chinese donators are looking abroad. In comparison, Western countries like the US, which have a long history of donating money, have well-developed systems that use money efficiently. They can also provide full access for donors who want to track the use of the money. To get more donations, Chinese universities should be braver and more honest. They need self-reflection rather than envy.
8. Why did Chen’s huge donations draw people’s attention?
A. It was used for brain research rather than for the poor.
B. It was not used efficiently.
C. It was the largest donation.
D. It should have been donated to a Chinese college.
9. Which of the followings can best replace the underlined word “domestic” in the second paragraph?
A. home
B. family
C. household
D. homepage
10. The example of PanShiYi was used to ________.
A. inform some Chinese students are poor at education
B. show off the generosity of Chinese billionaires
C. present the widespread disagreement over donating abroad
D. prove the Chinese are crazy about donations
11. What is the main advice does the author give to the Chinese universities?
A. Developing artificial intelligence.
B. Educating the braver and more honest graduates.
C. Developing fast to catch up with the US.
D. Developing systems to use the donations efficiently.
D
A well-dressed man entered a famous jewelry shop. He explained that he wished to buy a pearl for his wife’s birthday. The price didn’t matter, since business had been very good for him that year. After examining a nice black one that cost $5, 000, he paid for the pearl in cash, shook hands with the jeweler, and left.

It had to be exactly the same size and quality as she wanted a pair of earrings made. “Can you give me any advice on how to get such a pearl?”said the man.

The jeweler was quick to pay her before she changed her mind. Then he called the rich man’s hote l to tell him the good news. The man, however, was nowhere to be found. The jeweler immediately realized the whole thing.

英语知识运用（满分50分）
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

If you don’t use your arms or your legs, they become weak; when you start using them again, they _41_ (slow) become strong again. Everyone knows that. Yet many people don’t seem to know that memory works in _42_ same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really _43_ (mean) that he keeps his memory in practice by using _44_. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance _45_ (become) strong. If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are _46_ (blame), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can^ read or write but usually they have _47_ (good) memories? This is _48_ they can’t read or write and they have to remember days, names, songs and _49_ (story), so their memory is the whole time being exercised. So if you want to have a good memory, learn from them. Practice _50_ (remember) things in a way as these people do.
