第4题

Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting. It was not until in my late thirties that I made this important discovery: giving-away makes life so much more exciting. One discovery I made about giving-away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back, though the return often comes in an unexpected form. One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an important special delivery letter to my home, though it was addressed to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation. More than a year later I needed a post-office box for a new business I was starting. I was told at the window that there were no boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list. As I was about to leave, the postmaster appeared in the doorway. He had overheard our conversation. “Wasn’t it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home？” I said it was. “Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for you. You don’t know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get nothing but complaints.”

第5题

The freezing Northeast hasn’t been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota, Florida, my bags were packed before you could say “sunshine”. I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C(维生素C), thinking of beaches and orange trees. When we touched down to blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness. Swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets (at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend, but the best part- particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold weather root vegetables was a 7 a.m. adventure to the Sarasota farmers’ market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.
The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7:00 am to 1 p.m. rain or shine, along North Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries, the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes.
Disappointed by many a broken, vine-ripened(蔓上成熟的) promise, I’ve refused to buy winter tomatoes for years. No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home they’re unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless. But I homed in, with uncertainty, on one particular table at the Brown’s Grove Farm’s stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were the real deal and at that moment, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn’t be experiencing again for months.
Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown’s Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty, a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where luckily for me I was planning to have dinner that very night. Without even seeing the menu, I knew I’d be ordering every tomato on it.
(1)、What did the author think of her winter life in New York？ ()
A、Exciting.
B、Boring.
C、Relaxing.
D、Annoying.
(2)、What made the author’s getting up early worthwhile？ ()
A、Having a swim.
B、Breathing in fresh air.
C、Walking in the morning sun.
D、Visiting a local farmer’s market.
(3)、What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter？ ()
A、They are soft.
B、They look nice.
C、They taste great.
D、They are juicy.
(4)、What was the author going to that evening？ ()
A、Go to a farm.
B、Check into a hotel.
C、Eat in a restaurant.
D、Buy fresh vegetable
(5)、In the first paragraph, the word “adventure” means ______. ()
A、risk.
B、effort.
C、achievement.
D、access.

第6题

Listening is an extremely complex communicative activity. In order to have a better understanding, to anticipate what is coming is very important. An effective listener should continuously develop more or less specific readiness for what will come next. If a listener hears what he has expected, it will be much easier for him to receive the information. But if what he hears is totally out of his expectation,he will fail to get the message.
The skill to anticipate what is coming in listening comprehension depends largely on the listener&39;s familiarity with the theme（主题）of the message.It also depends on the listener&39;s knowledge of the speaker as well as the situation.
Obviously, when we listen to something that we already have some information about, it is generally much easier for us to take in the new information .Therefore,pre-listening preparation seems to play an important role in increasing our comprehension .Before actual listening ,we could perhaps first give some thought to the topic ,discuss it with others ,and then read some related material and do some vocabulary work. If we could make ourselves fully prepared for the coming talks or lectures,we are more likely to become effective listeners.
Of course,readiness beforehand is not at all enough .Active thinking must take place all the way through .In fact ,we should always try to think ahead of the speaker.
56.The passage is most possible taken from ____ .
A.a novel
B.a textbook
C.a news report
D.a fashion magazine
What is the author's attitude towards anticipating in listening comprehension？A.Neutral
B.Positive
C.Negative
D.Critical
What is the first paragraph mainly about？A.How to think actively in listening comprehension
B.How to develop specific readiness before listening
C.The skills in anticipating in listening comprehension
D.The importance of anticipating in listening comprehension
In order to anticipate ,the first thing to do before actual listening may be ____ .A.do some vocabulary work
B.think about the topic
C.read some related material
D.discuss the topic with others
The skill to anticipate in listening comprehension depends largely on ____ .A.the listener's emotion
B.the difficulty of the message
C.the listener's communicative skills
D.The listener's familiarity with the topic

仔细阅读：Could youreproduce Silicon Valley elsewhere, or is there something unique about it？

　　Could youreproduce Silicon Valley elsewhere, or is there something unique about it？

　　It wouldn’t besurprising if it were hard to reproduce in other countries, because youcouldn’t reproduce it in most of the US either. What does it take to make aSilicon Valley？

　　It’s the rightpeople. If you could get the right ten thousand people to move from SiliconValley to Buffalo, Buffalo would become Silicon Valley.

　　You only needtwo kinds of people to create a technology hub （中心）:rich people and nerds （痴迷科研的人）.

　　Observationbears this out. Within the US, towns have become startup hubs if and only ifthey have both rich people and nerds. Few startups happen in Miami, forexample, because although it’s full of rich people, it has few nerds. It’s notthe kind of place nerds like.

　　WhereasPittsburg has the opposite problem: plenty of nerds, but no rich people. Thetop US Computer Science departments are said to be MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, andCarnegie-Mellon. MIT yielded Route 128. 　　Stanford and Berkeley yielded SiliconValley. But what did Carnegie-Mellon yield in Pittsburgh？ And whathappened in Ithaca, home of Cornell University, which is also high on the list.

　　I grew up inPittsburgh and went to college at Cornell, so I can answer for both. Theweather is terrible, particularly in winter, and there’s no interesting oldcity to make up for it, as there is in Boston. Rich people don’t want to livein Pittsburgh or Ithaca. So while there are plenty of hackers （电脑迷）who could start startups, there’s no one to invest in them.

　　Do you reallyneed the rich people？ Wouldn’t it work to have the government invest the nerds？No, it would not. Startup investors are a distinct type of rich people. Theytend to have a lot of experience themselves in the technology business. Thishelps them pick the right startups, and means they can supply advice andconnections as well as money. And the fact that they have a personal stake inthe outcome makes them really pay attention.

　　56. What do welearn about Silicon Valley from the passage？

　　A) Its success is hard to copy any where else.

　　B) It is the biggest technology hub in the US.

　　C) Its fame in high technology is incomparable.

　　D) It leads the world in information technology.

　　57. What makesMiami unfit to produce a Silicon Valley？

　　A) Lack of incentive for investments.

　　B) Lack of the right kind of talents.

　　C) Lack of government support.

　　D) Lack of famous universities.

　　58. In that wayis Carnegie-Mellon different from Stanford, Berkeley and MIT？

　　A) Its location is not as attractive to rich people

　　B) Its science department are not nearly as good

　　C) It does not produce computer hackers and nerds

　　D) It does not pay much attention to business startups

　　59. What doesthe author imply about Boston？

　　A) It has pleasant weather all year round.

　　B) It produces wealth as well as high-tech

　　C) It is not likely to attract lots of investor and nerds.

　　D) It is an old city with many sites of historical interest.

　　60. What doesthe author say about startup investors？

In 1977 , a dead author of detective stories saved the life of a nineteen－month－old b
In 1977 , a dead author of detective stories saved the life of a nineteen-month-old baby in a most unusual way. The author was Agatha Christie, a gentle married lady and one of the most successful writers of detective stories in the world.
In June 1977 , a baby girl became seriously ill in Qatar (卡塔尔) , near Sandi Arabia(沙特阿拉伯) . Doctors were unable to find out the cause of her illness, so she was flown to London and sent to Hammersmith Hospital.

第9题

Anna is our only daughter. My wife and I have two sons, and Anna is the youngest in the family, but she's twenty-five now. Anna was not well when she was little. It was a very worrying time and she stayed at home a lot. She was seen first by the local doctors, and then she was sent to a specialist in Cardiff where she was diagnosed as diabetic. It was my wife who mainly took care of her then. I am not very good at looking after little children. I suppose I am a bit traditional in that way. But when she grew up a bit, we spent a lot of time together. We loved walking and talking and discussing life. We still love it today. We get on very well. Although she looks like me (tall, dark hair, dark eyes and dark skin), she takes after her mother: she is artistic and musical, and like her mother she's attractive. She loves looking after animals - she has two dogs, three cats and a goat. She lives in a little house in the country. I like animals too. I like riding and hunting, but Anna hates hunting. She thinks it's cruel. We discuss it a lot. She is quiet and a bit shy with strangers. I am more outgoing and I love meeting new people. But she's not boring - actually, she's very funny. She always has lots of stories of her life in the country. She's an art and music teacher in a little village school. She is very good-natured. Anna says we brought her up well, and she's going to bring her children up to be honest and loyal. But I think she was easy to bring up. I don't remember ever telling her off.

第10题

I went to a Catholic boys school in Blackpool in the North of England. In my first year in the senior school I was a nerdy kid, with spectacles and short trousers. For one hour a week the class had elocution lessons from an old, portly teacher called Mr. Priestley. He had a hard task wrestling with our flat northern vowels and trying to get us to speak the Queen’s English. One day he came up to me and said, "Sloane, I want to put you in for a speaking festival." "Why me " I grumbled. "Because I think you can do it," was his reply. I had to learn to recite a poem. It was "Play up, Play up and Play the game" by Sir Henry Newbolt, a classic motivational poem ringing with the heroic values of the British Empire. I had to practise it in front of the class, which was rather embarrassing; especially when dear old Mr. Priestly said, "That’s good but you need to pause and to put feeling and emotion into it." Eleven year old boys are unwilling to express feelings. The Saturday of the festival came and I went there on the bus (my parents never had a ear). I gave it my best shot but there were other children there who were more polished or experienced than I was and they scooped all the prizes. So I had to return to school on Monday and tell Mr. Priestley and the class that I had not won. I was then, and still am, very competitive so it felt like a failure to me. We did not have Mr. Priestley again after that year and I never thanked him for that intervention. It is too late to do so now. In my work I go around the world giving keynote talks on leadership and innovation and I often address large, prestigious audiences. Part of the reason that I can do that is because one teacher took the initiative and gave me a challenge. He asked me to do something I had never done and helped me to learn how to do it. Education is not about league tables or exam results. It is about opening doors for people and showing them rooms that that would otherwise be hidden. If we can challenge children to try things and to learn what they can achieve then maybe one day we will be remembered with the gratitude that I hold for Mr. Priestley.Mr. Priestley wanted the author to take part in the festival most probably because ().

A、the author was the best in class

B、the author didn’t have confidence in himself

C、the author wasn’t good at expressing himself

D、the author needed to be motivated

第11题

Beware of those who use the truth to deceive. When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can create a false impression.
For example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery. It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars! ”
This guy’s a winner, right？ Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a winner. He’s really a big loser!
He didn’t say anything that was false, but he deliberately omitted important information. That a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.
Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use this tactic. Let’s say that during Governo Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents runs an ad saying, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs! That’s true. However an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state ha net gain of two milli on jobs.”
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the truth. An ad might boast, “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples.” It fails to mention that the y only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.
This kind of deception happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies and lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
1、Which statement is TRUE according to the passage？
A、Whenever people tell the truth, they are really lying
B、You can’t trust gamblers
C、All governors help their states
D、The truth can be used in dishonest ways
2、What does “deceive ” in paragraph 1 mean？
A、educate
B、ignore warnings
C、fool
D、repair
3、What does “omitted ” in paragraph 4 mean？
A、spent money
B、left out
C、told about
D、exposed
4、The author clearly wants people to ().
A、think carefully about what they read and hear
B、never believe what is said in advertisements
C、never trust anyone
D、vote for female candidates
5、The appropriate title for this selection would be ().
A、Election Campaigns
B、Everyone Lies
C、Lying With the Truth
D、Nose Pimples
