Five years ago, after returning from abroad to his motherland, he 16 his small company. Speaking of success, Glen often tells us a story about his extra expensive “school” fee.

Before leaving, he bought a Rolex watch with the 19 made through years of work after school and the scholarships. At the airport he had to accept the 20 customs check. The watch on his wrist was also demanded to be taken down for 21 . Glen knew that carrying the specific goods out had to pay the tax, and he worried about paying 22 for his watch. So when he was checked, he told a lie that his watch was a 23 fake （假货）. When he was 24 of his “smarts”, immediately, in the presence of Glen, the officers hit the watch, 25 cost nearly 100,000, into pieces 26 hearing Glen’s words. Glen was 27 . Before he understood why, he was taken to the office to be examined 28 . For many times of entry-exit 29 he knew that only those people in the “blacklist” would “enjoy” this special treatment. The officers looked over everything carefully in the box, and 30 him no matter what time of entry and exit he must accept the check and if 31 reusing and carrying fake and shoddy goods, he would be 32 according to law! Suddenly, his face turned red, and he had nothing in mind after boarding the plane for long.After returning to the homeland, he often told the story to his family, and his employees, too. He said that this made a deep 33 on him, because the additional high “school” fee that he had ever paid made him realize the value of 34 , which he would remember as the 35 of his success forever.16. . set up B. took up C. went up D. picked up17. . honors B. mentions C. brings D. owes18. . decided B. refused C. objected D. asked19. . books B. things C. savings D. pounds20. . ordinary B. routine C. regular D. common21. . look B. inspection C. test D. experiment22. . one B. it C. them D. these23. . priceless B. useful C. worthless D. valuable24. . afraid B. proud C. ashamed D. hard25. . that B. what C. as D. which26. . on B. at C. who D. in27. . disappointed B. delighted C. amazed D. satisfied28. . strictly B. quietly C. quickly D. curiously29.

Consumers also worried that the nuclear plumes might spread to China by air and sea, polluting food sources, including salt taken from the sea.The wave of panic buying spread quickly across the country, driving up salt prices by five to ten fold in some cities.Even regions rich in salt production, like Jiangxi Province，faced sudden shortages.The government took measures to guarantee enough supply and to stabilize（稳定）the market. It also dismissed the nuclear rumors, saying the nuclear fallout was unlikely to reach the country, and that salt did not help to prevent radiation poisoning.Local authorities have stepped in to stabilize the market, too. As well, state-owned salt companies have been urged to increase their supply.Facing expanding market demand, distribution centers have taken extra measures to ensure they are well-prepared.Wang Yun, the General Manager of Beijing Salt Industry Corporation, said, "Our storage reserves can guarantee a two-month supply for the Beijing market."36．People made panic purchases of salt for the reasons EXCEPT______________.A. salt might protect them from po tential nuclear radiation. nuclear radiation might pollute food sourcesC. nuclear radiation might pollute salt taken from the seaD. there would be a shortage of salt on the market37．The underlined word “fold” in the third paragraph means _______.A. times . prices C. quantities D. means38．What measures did the government take for the panic buying?A. Enough salt would be offered to each house.. It admitted that salt could stop nuclear radiation.C. Authorities urged state-owned salt companies to increase the supply.D. Those who spread the rumor were all arrested and punished.39．What is the purpose of the writer to give the example of Beijing Salt Industry Corporation?A. To tell readers that there is a salt company in beijing.. To make people believe that the supply of salt is enough.C. To call on panic people to buy enough salt.D. To prove what the government did was right.Once many years ago, I pulled a family out of a burning car somewhere in Wyoming. Last week I received a telephone call from a woman who could not stop crying as she told me that one of my stories had saved her son from committing suicide. In closing she called me a hero.That got me thinking about what a hero is. Was I a hero because I pulled a family from a burning car? If so, how could I be a hero just because I wrote a story that saved someone’s life?Today I looked up the word “hero” in th e dictionary to see exactly what it meant. It read “a person who does something brave” and also “a person who is good and noble”.That statement impressed me more than the part about being brave. So I thought about something very important. And I remembered what happened to me years ago.After my marriage of twenty years ended, I was in such a condition. I was within hours trying to get up enough courage to end the pain and misery. Wh en I returned home, someone had sent me a card in the mail which told me how much they would appreciate me as a friend. That wonderful card probably saved my life. That person, without even knowing it, saved a life and became a hero.The many stories I kept writing in the following years saved the life of a teenage boy. In turn that makes the person who sent me the card a double hero. I suppose that is why I fight so hard to help the children now living in orphanages (孤儿院). Most children come out of these institutions with a very hard and bitter attitude against the world. The gifts we send them let them know that they have not been forgotten. Hopefully, most of them will never hurt anyone because of the kindness shown to them by those of us who cared. If it works, we will also become "heroes".40. The main idea of the passage is _______________.A. why the writer should be a hero . what a hero exactly isC. whether the writer is a heroD. that everyone is a hero41. Why did the woman call the writer a hero at the end of the call?A. ecause his story saved her so n’s life.. ecause he saved a family from a burning car.C. ecause he asked her son not to kill himself.D. ecause he was cute and kind to everybody.42. What does the underlined word “it” in the last sentence of Paragraph 5 refer to?A. The wonderful card the writer received 。

I was going to marry her when I grew up—__21__she would wait. I couldn’t bear to miss one precious moment of her presence by 22 the classroom. I always raised my hands when she called for volunteers to gather 23 and bring them to her desk. That was the best chore of all. It made 24 getting near enough to her. I would arrange and rearrange the papers until they were in perfect order.I started pestering my mother to put extra fruit 25 my lunch. I was never brave enough to hand it to Miss Benson directly, though. Each day the delicacy was put unobserved on her desk. And the 26 was always the same. She would come in and sit down. “How nice!” She would pick the fruit up, then 27 the room. “What thoughtful little child brought me this?” No one claimed the honor, least of all me. “28 it be that I have a secret admirer?” she would ask.

The system is famous for its oshiya--- literally, “pusher”--- who shove passengers into crowded subway cars so the doors can close. And you think your commute is hell.The Moscow Metro Features: The Moscow Metro has some of the most beautiful stations in the world. The best of them were built during the Stalinist era and feature chandeliers(枝形吊灯), marble moldings and elaborate murals(精美的壁画). With more than 7 million riders a day, keeping all that marble clean has got to be a burden.The Hong Kong Metro Features: The Hong Kong MTR has the distinction of being one of the few subway systems in the world that actually turns a profit. It’s privately owned and uses real estate development along its tracks to increase income and ridership. It also introduced “Octopus cards” that allow people to not only pay their fares electronically, but buy stuff at convenience stores, supermarkets, restaurants and even parking meters. It’s estimated that 95 % of all adults in Hong Kong own an Octopus card .Shanghai Metro Features: Shanghai is the third city in China to build a metro system, and it has become the country’s largest in the 12 years since it opened. Shanghai Metro has 142 miles of track and plans to add another 180 miles within five years. By that point, it would be three times larger than Chicago “L”. The system carries about 2.18 million people a day.The London Metro Features: Londoners call their subway the Underground, even though 55 percent of it lies above ground. No matter when you’ve got the oldest mass-transit system in the world, you can call it anything you like. Trains started in1863 and they’ve been running ever since. Some 3 million people ride each day, every one of them re membering to “Mind the gap”.41. Which one can provide the riders some wonderful decorations at the stations?A. The Tokyo Metro and Toei LinesB. The Moscow MetroC. The London MetroD. The Hong Kong MTR42. ________ is done with the purpose of making money.A. The Tokyo Metro and Toei LinesB. The Moscow MetroC. The London MetroD. The Hong Kong MTR43. We can learn from the passage that Shanghai Metro ________.A. carries the most people each dayB. is the world’s largestC. may be larger than the Chicago “L” in the futureD. is the busiest in the world44. How many subways carry more than 5 million people per day?A. 2B. 3C. 4D. 5BArchaeology, like many academic words, comes from Greek and means, more or less, “the study of old things”. So, it is really a part of the study of history. However, most historiansuse paper evidence, such as letters, paintings and photographs, but archaeologists(考古学家)learn from the objects left behind by the humans of long ago. Normally, these are the hard materials that don’t break down or disappear very quickly—things like human bones and objects made from stone and metal.It is very unusual to find anything more than the hard evidence of history—normally, the bacteria in the air eat away at soft materials, like bodies, clothes and things made of wood. Occasionally, things are different.In 1984, two men made an amazing discovery while working in a bog called Lindow Moss, in the north of England. A bog is a very wet area of earth, with a lot of plants growing in it. It can be like a very big and very thick vegetable soup—walk in the wrong place and you can sink and disappear forever. The men were working when one of them saw something sticking out—a human foot! Naturally, the men called the police, who then found the rest of the body. Was it a case of murder? Possibly—buy it was a death nearly two thousand years old. The two men had found a body from the time of the Roman invasion of Britain. Despite being so old, this body had skin, muscles, hair and internal organs—the scientists who examined him were able to look inside the man’s stomach and find the food that he had eaten for his last meal!Why was this man so well preserved? It was because he was in a very watery environment, safe from the bacteria that need oxygen to live. Also, the water in the bog was very acidic. The acid preserved the man’s skin in the way that animal skin is preserved for leather coats and shoes.How did he die? Understandably, archaeologists and other scientists wanted to know more about the person that they called “Lindow Man”. His hands and fingernails suggested that he hadn’t done heavy manual work in this life—he could have been a rich man. They found that he hadn’t died by accident. The archaeologists believe that he was sacrificed to three different gods.45. Which language does the word “archaeology” come from?A. French.B. GreekC. Roman.D. German。

They are a band of visionaries (有远见的人) —some of the world‘s wealthiest businessmen —who are using their wealth, their energy, their fame, and their 43 of law and science to persuade the world to take a new 44 to save the Earth. These people, both men and women, are the modern-day heroic counterparts (同等分量的人) to the evil 19th century robber masters who 45 set the world on the path to environmental destruction.Bill Gates and Warren Buffet are among the eco businessmen.

Last Monday, at the beginning of class, I 50 asked my students how their weekend had been. One young man said that his weekend had not been so good. He had his wisdom teeth 51 . The young man then proceeded to ask me why I always seemed to be so cheerful.His question 52 me of something I‘d read somewhere before: ―Every morning when you get up, you have a choice about how you want to 53 life that day,‖ I said. ―I choose to be cheerful.‖―Let me give you an example,‖ I continued, 54 all sixty students in the class. ―In addition to teaching here at UNLV, I also teach out at the community college in Henderson, 17 miles down the freeway from where I live. One day a few weeks ago I drove those 17 miles to Henderson. I 55 the freeway and turned onto College Drive. I only had to drive another quarter mile down the road to the college. But just then my car died. I tried to start it again, but the engine wouldn‘t 56 . So I put my flashers on, grabbed my books, and 57 down the road to the college.‖―As soon as I got there I called AAA（汽车协会）and asked them to 58 for a tow truck to meet me at my car after class. The secretary in the office asked me what has happened. ‗This is my lucky day,‘ I replied, 59 .‖―‗But y our car breaks down‘, she was 60 . ‗What do you mean?‘‖―‗I live17 miles from here.‘ I replied. ‗My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway. It didn‘t. Instead, it broke down in the 61 place: off the freeway, within walking distance of here. I‘m still able to teach my class, and I‘ve been able to apply for the tow truck to meet me after class. If my car was 62 to break down today, it couldn‘t have been arranged in a more convenient fashion.‘‖―The secretary‘s eyes opened wide, and then she smiled. I smiled back and headed for class.‖ So ended my story.I scanned the sixty faces in my 63 class at UNLV. Despite the early hour, no one seemed to be asleep. Somehow, my story had touched them. Or maybe it wasn‘t the story at all. In fact, it had all started with a student‘s 64 that I was cheerful.50. A. seriously B. cheerfully C. curiously D. coldly51.

For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical (圣经) passage about husbands being thoughtful of their wives. Then he went on to say, ―Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.‖ To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, ―That new yellow sweater looks great on you.‖―Oh, Tom, you noticed,‖ she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled.After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, ―Evelyn‘s been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.‖ We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that‘s how the whole vacation passed. I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love.There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with saddest expression.―What‘s the matter?‖ I asked her.―Tom,‖ she said in a voice filled with distress, ―do you know something I don‘t?‖―What do you mean?‖―Well… that checkup I had several weeks ago… our doctor… did he tell you something about me? Tom, you‘ve been so good to me… am I dying?‖It took a moment for it all to sink in.

It is a new, uncertain journey —at a time when peace in life is treasured. Personal financial security is a powerful motivator to keep control of the business. The inability to ―let go‖ is even more difficult for those who founded their businesses at a time of unemployment or family poverty.For many who build successful enterprises, their business is their identity. It is said of one woman business owner, still in control in her 90s, that ―work is her oxygen.‖ Some entrepreneurs （企业家）started their businesses at least in part to prove themselves to former bosses who had rejected or doubted them. We find that they cling to theircreations more strongly than most.For these reasons and others, too many business founders refuse to retire. They insist that only they are capable of running the business. Jealousy or insecurities relating to declining power generate interpersonal conflicts that spoil succession (接替；继位) planning or even the performance of potential successors.If an executive has not quite achieved what he had hoped, he often wants the opportunity to stay in the game. Rather than a graceful transition, the succession process can become a war. The parties to such a combat, however, should remember Winston Churchill‘s warning to the House of Commons: ―If we open a quarrel between the past and the present, we shall find that we have lost the future.‖Fortunately, many business owners manage to face succession planning —courageously, openly, and early. And because entrepreneurial succession is perhaps the most critical issue for family-business continuity, we‘re keenly interested in the makeup and background of those who do.Our conclusion: It‘s all a matter of outlook or attitude. Business owners who can plan succession and wh o can let go don‘t come necessarily from larger or smaller businesses. They don‘t come from businesses that are more or less fragile or that require more or less hands-on involvement. They don‘t necessarily even have more or less qualified successors to whom they can turn over their creations. They just have a different outlook or attitude toward the subject. For them, the glass is half full, not half empty.72. The underlined expression ―let go‖ means ________.A. to dismiss the successorB. to close the businessC. to explore another fieldD. to pass the business to the successor73. What makes some of the business owners willing to retire?A. Their family background.B. The scale of their business.C. Their attitude towards retirement.D. The ability of their successor.74. According to the passage, people with the sound attitude to retirement think that ________.A. old people are certain to restB. retirement means new opportunities and new lifeC. as business owners, they are most important to the businessD. their business was bought as part of management75. The author‘s purpose of writing this passage is ________.A. to make clear the widespread beliefs held by those who cannot conclude succession planningB. to offer some practical tips to those who are not able to cope with fear of retirementC. to urge society and the individual to take retirement more seriouslyD. to illustrate the different attitudes toward retirement in different situationsSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one Pwith signals76.By the 1950s many Americ an families owned television sets. During television‘s first 20 years, deaf people missed most of the fun. They could not hear what was being said and had to guess. Deaf people who watched television likedsports and action shows, but they were disappointed with other programs. If there was a lot of dialogue, deaf viewers couldn‘t follow the plot. Even the most skilled lip -readers could only ca tch part of the talking. This frustrated many deaf people.77. In the late 1960s, a man started experimenting. Malcom Norwood thought that deaf people could enjoy television programs, too. He wanted to develop captions for the programs. Norwood worked for the federal government‘s Media Services and Captioned Films Division at the Bureau of Education of the Handicapped.78.screen. Too many people were against the idea. Norwood realized he had to develop another way of captioning-onethat would not bother hearing people.79.In October of 1971, Norwood‘s office signed a contract with WGBH -TV , a public television station in Boston. WGBH was hired to experiment with captions. They agreed to make a captioned television program for Norwood. That program was made. It was shown on television and at a special convention. The type of captions made by WGBH could be seen on any television. No special equipment was needed. These were called ―open captions‖.80. Later, a new machine was invented. This device was made to send signals on a special part of the television picture. The signals could be captions. If a family had another kind of machine in their home or in their TV set, then the captions (or signals) would appear on their television screen. Without the machine, no captions would be seen. That special machine is called a decoder. It receives the signals transmitted from the television station. Captions that require a decoder are called ―closed captions‖.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in fewest possible words .In the house where I grew up, it was our custom to leave the front door on the latch at night. I don‘t know if that was a local term or if it is universal; ―on the latch‖ meant the door was closed but not locked. None of us carried keys; the last one in for the evening would close up, and that was it.Those days are over. In rural areas as well as in cities, doors do not stay unlocked, even for part of an evening.It is not uncommon, in most pleasant homes, to see on the windows small notices announcing that the building is closely monitored by this security force or that guard company.The lock is the new symbol of America. Indeed, a recent public-service advertisement by a large insurance company featured not charts showing how much at risk we are, but a picture of a child‘s bicycle with the now -usual padlock attached to it.The ad pointed out that, yes, it is the insurance companies that pay for stolen goods, but who is going to pay for what the new atmosphere of distrust and fear is doing to our way of life? Who is going to make the payment for the transformation of America from the Land of the Free to the Land of the Lock?For some reason we are satisfied when we think we are well-protected; it does not occur to us to ask ourselves: Why has this happened? Why are we having to defend ourselves against our neighbors and fellow citizens, and when, exactly, did this start to take over our lives?With all this ―security‖, we are perhaps the most insecure nation in the history of civilized man. What better word to describe the way in which we have been forced to live? What sadder reflection on all that we have become in this new and puzzling time?We trust no one. Suburban housewives wear rape whistles on their station wagon key chains. We have become so smart about self-protection that, in the end, we have all outsmarted ourselves. We may have locked the evils out, but we have also locked ourselves in.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81. In the author‘s childhood, people were used to ________.82. What can be commonly seen on the windows of most pleasant homes?83. According to the author, what is the new environment of American life now?84. In the author‘s mind, they feel that they are seemingly ________, but actually ________.第II卷（共45分）I.
