The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and 22 paying affair. For every writer kissed 23 fortune there are thousands more whose desire is 24 rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U. S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer (自由撰稿人)，I had no prospects (chances of success) 25 .

第二局部：阅读理解〔一共20小题，每一小题2分，满分是40分〕
A
Suppose that you, a college student of somewhat limited means, are in the market for a used pickup truck. The following ad in a local used car publication catches your eyes.
1993 Ford Ranger, bilk, 4WD,a/c,
AM/FM/cass., showroom condition.
Call 555-1234 after 5 p.m.
This is exactly the kind of vehicle you want, so you call to ask the price. The price you have mentioned over the phone is $2,000 lower than the Price for this model with this equipment listed in a used car guidebook. Instead of being ecstatic (happy), however, you are suspicious (疑心的).
For many products, when you must pay less than the going rate, you believe you are getting a great deal. This is not necessarily the case for used cars or other durable goods (washing machines and television sets, for example) because with expensive products—or, what is essentially the same thing, products with high replacement costs—you must be particularly careful about getting a “lemon (柠檬),〞or a product of substandard〔低于HY〕quality.
In addition to asking the price, the age of a car —or any other consumer durable—is a factor when you are trying to determine whether a seller is attempting to unload a lemon. While people hold off until they have put many thousands of a car that is “too new〞as you would have a car that is “too good〞a deal. In fact, you are probably willing to pay a high for a high quality used car. While this price would certainly be acceptable to the seller, the competitive market might not facilitate such trades.
36. The beginning of this passage suggests that college students .
A. are very clever but not very rich
B. are very capable but not very hard-working
C. have limited material resources
D. are not rich
37. The passage indicates that sometimes when you find a product of an unexpectedly low price,
A. you are very happy
B. you are rather suspicious
C. you feel uneasy
D. you are filled with happiness as well as surprise
38. “Lemon〞in this passage refers to .
A. a kind of fruit
B. a kind of new car
C. a kind of expensive and high-quality car
D. a product of inferior quality (劣质)
39. It can be concluded from the passage that in the used car market, .
A. used cars are generally cheap
B. used cars are actually expensive
C. used cars are actually brand new
D. car buyers are willing to pay a high price for a used car
B
Certain animals and plants develop characteristics that help them deal with their environment better than others of their kind. This natural biological process is called adaptation. Among the superior characteristics developed through adaptation are those that may help in getting food or shelter, in providing protection, and in producing and protecting the young. That results in the gradual development of more and more organisms〔small living things〕that are better fitted to their environments.
Each living thing is adapted to its way of life in a general way, but each is adapted especially to its own distinct class (kind ) . A plant, for example, depends upon its roots to fix itself firmly and to absorb water and inorganic chemicals (无机化学物). It depends upon its green leaves for using the sun's energy to make food from inorganic chemicals. These are general adaptations, common to most plants. In addition, there are special adaptations that only certain kinds of plants have.
Many animals have adaptations that help them escape from their enemies. Some insects are hidden by their body color or shape, and many look like a leaf or a little branch. The coats of deer are colored to mix with the surroundings. Many animals have the ability to remain completely still when an enemy is near.
Organisms have a great variety of ways of adapting. They may adapt in their structure, function, and genetics; in their development and production of the young; and in other respects. An organism may create its won environment, as do warm-blooded mammals, which have the ability to adjust body heat exactly to maintain their ideal temperature despite changing weather. Usually adaptations are an advantage, but sometimes an organism is so well adapted to a particular environment that, if conditions change, it finds it difficult or impossible to readapt to the new conditions.
40. Some plants and animals develop superior characteristics so that they may .
A. help others of their kind get food, shelter and other things needed
B. survive even in extremely severe conditions
C. become better adapted to the environments than others of their kind
D. result in the evolution and production of more intelligent organisms
41. In the first paragraph, the word "environments" could best be replaced by .
A. contexts
B. surroundings
C. neighbors
D. enemies
42. It can be inferred from this passage that the feathers of a bird are colored .
A. to frightened its enemies.
B. to attract its enemies
C. to adjust its body heat
D. to match its environment
43. Which of the following is not directly mentioned?
A. A living thing may adapt in its structure.
B. An organism may adapt in its function.
C. A living creature may adapt in its genetic makeup.
D. A living organism may adapt in its sleeping habit.
C
Most Americans would have a difficult time telling you, specifically, what the values are which Americans live by. They have never given the matter any thought.
Over the years I have introduced thousands of international visitors to life in the United States. This has caused me to try to look at Americans through the eyes of foreign visitors, I am confident that the values listed in this booklet describe most (but not all )Americans, and that understanding these values can help you, the international visitor, understand Americans.
It is my belief that if foreign visitors really understand how deeply these 13 values are ingrained in Americans, they will then be able to understand 95% of American actions —actions which might otherwise appear “strange,〞“ confusing,〞or “unbelievable〞when evaluated from the perspective (aspect) of the foreigner's own society and its values.
The different behaviors of a people or a culture make sense only when seen through the basic beliefs, assumptions and values of that particular group. When you encounter (meet) an action, or hear a statement in the United States which surprises you, try to see it as an expression of one or more of the values listed in this booklet.
44. An ordinary American can’t tell you his / her value system because.
A. this is something an American lives by
B. everyone will have his/her own system
C. he/she has never thought about it
D. values are something often in their thought
45.The author lists 13 values in his booklet to .
A .invite foreigners to visit America
B. look at Americans through the eyes of foreign visitors
C. describe the confusing actions of most Americans
D. help international visitors understand Americans
46.The underlined word “ingrained〞in Line 2, Paragraph 3 most probably means .
A. rooted in the minds
B. found in the grains
C. planted for food
D. prepared with grain
47.Visitors sometimes find Americans behave in a strange, confusing or unbelievable way, probably because .
A. Americans are hard to understand
B. Americans have values which are entirely different from their own
C. they view Americans according to the values in their own society
D. it is difficult to understand any people when you first encounter them
D
If U.S. software companies don't pay more attention to quality, they could kiss their business good-bye. Both India and Brazil are developing a world-class software industry. Their weapon is quality and one of their jobs is to attract the top U.S. quality specialists whose voices are not listened to in their country.
Already, of the world's 12 software houses that have earned the highest rating in the world,
seven are in India. That's largely because they have used new methods rejected by American software specialists. For example, for decades, quality specialists, W. Edwards Deming and J. M. Juran had urged U.S. software companies to change their attitudes to quality. But their quality call mainly fell on deaf ears in the U.S -- but not in Japan. By the 1970s and 1980s, Japan was grabbing market share with better, cheaper products. They used Deming's and Juran's ideas to bring down the cost of good quality to as little as 5% of total production costs. In U.S. factories, the cost of quality then was 10 times as high: 50%. In software, it still is.
Watts S. Humphrey spent 27 years at IBM heading up software production and then quality assurance. But his advice was seldom paid attention to. He retired from IBM in 1986. In 1987, he worked out a system for assessing(evaluating) and improving software quality. It has proved its value time and again. For example, in 1990 the cost of quality at Raytheon Electronics Systems was almost 60% of total software production costs. It fell to 15% in 1996 and has since further dropped to below 10%.
Like Deming and Juran, Humphrey seems to be winning more praises overseas than at home. The Indian government and several companies have just founded the Watts Humphrey Software Quality Institute at the Software Technology Park in Chennai, India. Let's hope that U.S. lead in software will not be eaten up by its quality problems.
48. What country has more highest-rating companies in the world than any other country has?
A. India.
B. The US.
C. Brazil.
D. Germany.
49. Which of the following statements about Humphrey is true?
A. He is now still an IBM employer.
B. He has worked for IBM for 37 years.
C. India honors him highly.
D. The US pays much attention to his quality advice.
50. By what means did Japan grab its large market share by the 1970s and the 1980s?
A. Its advertising was most successful.
B. Its products were cheaper in price and better in quality.
C.The US hardware industry was lagging behind.
D. Japan hired a lot of Indian software specialists.
