阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
In a cab, a woman seemed in such a hurry．She constantly rushed the cab driver to drive quickly．She was so absorbed in her own thoughts of getting to the airport as soon as possible that she was not aware they were going by a different route.
All of a sudden, a young man got inside the cab．He took her handbag in which she had put her visa, passport, and all the money for the trip.
The cab driver, who was in collusion with the robber, left her in the exactly middle of a dark street．She thought that she was rather unfortunate in the very situation.
During the very night, she was told a piece of shocking news．Tears came down her cheek．Flight 360, the plane that she should have got on board, had crashed．Had she not lost her important belongings, she could surely have lost the thing far more precious——her life.
Sometimes bad things really happen．There are times when nothing seems to go our way．So what should we do about it? We must get rid of all these frustrations and start all over again in the faith that we will get what we deserve．
Don’t waste your time and energy on things that can’t be changed．Continuous worrying will only affect your health and you’ll be doing much more damage than what was previously done.
What if it was the other way round? What if we never ran out of good luck?
There was a man who won the lottery．He became greedy and wasted all his money on everything he could get his hands on.
But when he one day made it to the front page of the newspaper again, it was a different story．He had been killed because of his riches．If you attain good luck, you can never be too secure about it．Life is so unpredictable．You never know what will happen next.
Live one day at a time．We sometimes subject ourselves to unnecessary emotional trouble．But please don’t forget: sometimes misfortune can be the source of happiness．Live for the moment．Do what must be done for the present and the future will turn out just fine．Believe me．And believe in yourself．As Captain Planet always says, “The power is yours！”
41．The underlined phrase “in collusion with” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________.”

43．The writer presents the second example in order to ________.
A．warn people of the danger of winning the lottery
B．tell people life is unpredictable
C．encourage people to buy lottery
D．persuade people not to be greedy
44．According to the author, which of the following choices is the correct attitude to adopt to life?

B．One needn’t be worried or feel frustrated．Believe in yourself.
C．Even while everything appears to be going smoothly, we should keep fully alert.
D．Worrying about what you don’t have
45．The passage above is intended to tell us ________.
A．misfortune sometimes is a blessing
B．we should save up for a rainy day
C．fortune just goes with those prepared minds
D．both losses and gains go hand in hand
A cancer-stricken British teenage girl said Thursday she had been moved by messages of support from around the world after writing an online “Bucket List” of things she wanted to do before dying．
Alice Pyne，l5，created an Internet blog in which she described her fight against a cancer of the white blood cells．“I’ve been fighting cancer for almost four years and now I know that the cancer is gaining on me and it doesn’t look like I’m going to win this one，” she wrote ．
For her list，the teenager took inspiration from the 2007 film “The Bucket List” in which two men who were badly ill，draw up a list of things they wish to do before they die．
On her list，at the site www．alicepyne．blogspot．com，she has included making everyone sign up to be a bone marrow donor（骨髓捐赠者），swimming with sharks ，meeting boy band Take That and getting a purple iPad computer．
Messages of support and offers of help quickly flooded her webpage and it became one of the most talked about subjects on Twitter．
“Oh, dear and I thought that I was just doing a little blog for a few friends!” she wrote after her site attracted huge attention．“Thank you so much for all your lovely messages to me．”
Pyne，who lives with her family in the northwest English town of Ulverston，revealed（透露）the management of Take That had arranged for her to see the band after reading her blog．A group of local lawmakers have also joined forces with the Anthony blood cancer charity to encourage people to join its stem cell register．
46．What happened after Alice Pyne wrote her “Bucket List”?
A．People around the world sent messages to support her．
B．People sent gifts to her from all over the world．
C．A lot of people offered to donate bone marrow to her．
D．The media called on people to help her．
47．Alice Pyne wrote her “Bucket List” to ．
A．catch people’s attention
B．say goodbye to a few friends
C．give comfort to two terminally ill men
D．express her last few wishes
48．It can be inferred from the second paragraph that Alice Pyne ．
A．is unaware of her own conditions
B．is very sad to know that she will die
C．is calm to know that death is approaching
D．is still quite confident in fighting against cancer
49．Which of the following is NOT on Alice Pyne’s “Bucket List”?
A．To ask people to donate bone marrow． B．To get a cool computer．
C．To swim with shark． D．To meet a boy．
50．Take That will arrange to ．
A．meet Pyne in person
B．help Pyne in any possible way
C．donate money to Pyne
D．invite Pyne to join the band
“Confidence” is probably one of the most noticeable traits（品质）in the Americans．They show confidence in the way they talk，the way they smile，the way they dress and the way they walk．Living and competing with all these confidence American students，I find it extremely important to be confident as an international student and instructor．As a student，being confident means you should never hesitate to raise your hand whenever a question or a point comes to your mind．Don’t mind if it sounds simple or silly．Otherwise you will never get a chance to speak in class at all．What’s worse，the professors may think you are not prepared for the discussion or you do not have your own opinion on the issue—this is the last comment any graduate would like to receive．
Being confidence for me as a foreign instructor means calmly asking the student to repeat what he or she has said if I did not get it．Pretending to understand what you actually did not may just bring yourself embarrassment or even disgrace．But the time I most need to be confident is when my students come to my office and bargain about the grades I have given for their Speeches．（The course I’m teaching here is Public Speaking）．Modesty is a trait highly valued in China，but it won’t be of much help here if you want to survive and succeed in a good American graduate program．
51．To compete with American students it’s very important to ．
A．be quite confident B．be polite and friendly
C．have more discussions with them D．understand what they think about
52．A professor will have the worst opinion of a student who ．
A．gives a silly or simple answer
B．tries to seize any chance to speak in class
C．shows no interest in the course
D．is considered to have no opinion of his own
53．The author is most likely to feel embarrassed if ．
A．he asks a student to repeat what he has said
B．the students bargain with him
C．he pretends to know what he doesn’t
D．he has to give a speech
54．We learn from the second paragraph that ．
A．we should also remain modest in America
B．modesty doesn’t help you much in America
C．Americans also like modest people
D．modesty can help you through an American graduate program
55．The passage is mainly developed by ．
A．providing examples
B．making comparisons
C．giving different figures
D．telling personal experiences
The world is filled with smart，talented and gifted people．We meet them every day．A few days ago，my car was not running well．I pulled it into a garage，and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes．He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine．I was amazed．The sad truth is，great talent is not enough．
I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn．I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $100，000 a year．A business consultant who specializes in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially．It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase，“They are one skill away from great wealth．”
There is an old saying that goes，“Job means "just over broke（破产）’”．And unfortunately，I would say that the saying applies to millions of people．Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence，most workers“ live within their means”．They work and they pay the bills．Instead I recommend young people to seek work for what they will learn，more than what they will earn．
When I ask the classes I teach，“How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald’s?” almost all the students raise their hands．I then ask，“So if most of you can cook a better hamburger，how come McDonald’s makes more money than you?” The answer is obvious: McDonald’s is excellent at business systems．The reason why so many talented people are poor is that they focus on building a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems．The world is filled with talented poor people ．They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger．
56．The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph that ．
A．he is just one of the talented people
B．he is ready to help others
C．he has a sharp sense of hearing
D．he knows little about car repairing
57．The underlined part in the third paragraph can be best replaced by ．
A．spend more than they can afford
B．do in their own way
C．live in their own circle
D．live within what they earn
58．Why do talented people earn so 1ittle according to the author?
A．They don’t work hard enough
B．They lack financial intelligence
C．They don’t make full use of their talents
D．They have no specialized skills．
59．The success of McDonald"s lies in its ．
A．skills at making hamburgers B．good business systems
C．talented workers D．excellent service
60．The main purpose of the author is to tell us ．
A．how young people can find a satisfactory job
B．what schools should teach students
C．why so many talented people are poor
D．how McDonald’s makes much money
Phil White has just returned from an 18,000-mile, around-the-world bicycle trip．White had two reasons for making this epic journey．First of all, he wanted to use the trip to raise money for charity, which he did．He raised ￡70,000 for the British charity, Oxfam．White"s second reason for making the trip was to break the world record and become the fastest person to cycle around the world．He is still waiting to find out if he has broken the record or not.

Just a bike and a very, very long road.
The journey was lonely and desperate at times．He also had to fight his way across deserts, through jungles and over mountains．He cycled through heavy rains and temperatures of up to 45 degrees, all to help people in need．There were other dangers along the road．In Iran, he was chased by armed robbers and was lucky to escape with his life and the little money he had．The worst thing that happened to him was having to cycle into a headwind on a road that crosses the south of Australia．For l,000 kilometres he battled against the wind that was constantly pushing him．This part of the trip was slow, hard work and depressing, but he made it in the end．Now Mr．White is back and intends to write a book about his adventures.

阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。（请注意问题后的词数要求）
The Japanese love to give gifts．This habit is not practiced only on special occasions，but it’s widely accepted as social responsibility．Because gift-giving is an important social aspect of Japanese life．It’s important to be aware of some key factors．
Devalue the gifts you give．The important thing is to act and seem modest．You don’t want the receiver to think that you are arrogant or proud．Denigrate（贬低）your gift as much as possible．It doesn’t matter if the label on the box bears the symbol for a famous brand，The Japanese value the appearance of a modest gift-giver who tries to stay from praise．
Praise the gift you receive．Although praising may seem obvious，overpraising the gift is the key．It’s also important to praise the fine taste of the gift-giver in making that particular choice for you．And don’t forget to give a thousand and one thanks．
__________________, unless you are urged to do so．And when you do，you must take the utmost care in unwrapping it．Don’t look eager，and be careful that you don’t tear the paper or cut the ribbon．After observing，praising，and thanking，be sure to rewrap the gift as if it had never been opened．Try to appear as if you take great pride in the value of it the gift．
Choose gifts with practical value．In general，don’t buy things such as ornaments，vases，and kitchenware，it’s already assumed that everyone has these things．To do so may suggest that you don’t approve of the other person’s taste．Also，most Japanese houses are very small and don’t have extra space for useless junk．
76．What is the best title for the passage?（no more than l0 words）．
77．Fill in the blank in the fourth paragraph with proper words．（no more than 6 words）

As the old man unwrapped the package ，he saw a portrait （画像）of his son．Though the world would 36 consider it the work of a genius，the painting featured the young man’s face 37 detail．

第二部分 阅读理解（共25小题；每小题2分，满分50分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
In a cab, a woman seemed in such a hurry．She constantly rushed the cab driver to drive quickly．She was so absorbed in her own thoughts of getting to the airport as soon as possible that she was not aware they were going by a different route.
All of a sudden, a young man got inside the cab．He took her handbag in which she had put her visa, passport, and all the money for the trip.
The cab driver, who was in collusion with the robber, left her in the exactly middle of a dark street．She thought that she was rather unfortunate in the very situation.
During the very night, she was told a piece of shocking news．Tears came down her cheek．Flight 360, the plane that she should have got on board, had crashed．Had she not lost her important belongings, she could surely have lost the thing far more precious——her life.
Sometimes bad things really happen．There are times when nothing seems to go our way．So what should we do about it? We must get rid of all these frustrations and start all over again in the faith that we will get what we deserve．
Don’t waste your time and energy on things that can’t be changed．Continuous worrying will only affect your health and you’ll be doing much more damage than what was previously done.
What if it was the other way round? What if we never ran out of good luck?
There was a man who won the lottery．He became greedy and wasted all his money on everything he could get his hands on.
But when he one day made it to the front page of the newspaper again, it was a different story．He had been killed because of his riches．If you attain good luck, you can never be too secure about it．Life is so unpredictable．You never know what will happen next.
Live one day at a time．We sometimes subject ourselves to unnecessary emotional trouble．But please don’t forget: sometimes misfortune can be the source of happiness．Live for the moment．Do what must be done for the present and the future will turn out just fine．Believe me．And believe in yourself．As Captain Planet always says, “The power is yours！”

A cancer-stricken British teenage girl said Thursday she had been moved by messages of support from around the world after writing an online “Bucket List” of things she wanted to do before dying．
Alice Pyne，l5，created an Internet blog in which she described her fight against a cancer of the white blood cells．“I’ve been fighting cancer for almost four years and now I know that the cancer is gaining on me and it doesn’t look like I’m going to win this one，” she wrote ．
For her list，the teenager took inspiration from the 2007 film “The Bucket List” in which two men who were badly ill，draw up a list of things they wish to do before they die．
On her list，at the site www．alicepyne．blogspot．com，she has included making everyone sign up to be a bone marrow donor（骨髓捐赠者），swimming with sharks ，meeting boy band Take That and getting a purple iPad computer．
Messages of support and offers of help quickly flooded her webpage and it became one of the most talked about subjects on Twitter．
“Oh, dear and I thought that I was just doing a little blog for a few friends!” she wrote after her site attracted huge attention．“Thank you so much for all your lovely messages to me．”
Pyne，who lives with her family in the northwest English town of Ulverston，revealed（透露）the management of Take That had arranged for her to see the band after reading her blog．A group of local lawmakers have also joined forces with the Anthony blood cancer charity to encourage people to join its stem cell register．
46．What happened after Alice Pyne wrote her “Bucket List”?
A．People around the world sent messages to support her．
B．People sent gifts to her from all over the world．
C．A lot of people offered to donate bone marrow to her．
D．The media called on people to help her．
47．Alice Pyne wrote her “Bucket List” to ．

C．give comfort to two terminally ill men
D．express her last few wishes
48．It can be inferred from the second paragraph that Alice Pyne ．
A．is unaware of her own conditions
B．is very sad to know that she will die
C．is calm to know that death is approaching
D．is still quite confident in fighting against cancer
49．Which of the following is NOT on Alice Pyne’s “Bucket List”?
A．To ask people to donate bone marrow． B．To get a cool computer．
C．To swim with shark． D．To meet a boy．
50．Take That will arrange to ．

“Confidence” is probably one of the most noticeable traits（品质）in the Americans．They show confidence in the way they talk，the way they smile，the way they dress and the way they walk．Living and competing with all these confidence American students，I find it extremely important to be confident as an international student and instructor．As a student，being confident means you should never hesitate to raise your hand whenever a question or a point comes to your mind．Don’t mind if it sounds simple or silly．Otherwise you will never get a chance to speak in class at all．What’s worse，the professors may think you are not prepared for the discussion or you do not have your own opinion on the issue—this is the last comment any graduate would like to receive．
Being confidence for me as a foreign instructor means calmly asking the student to repeat what he or she has said if I did not get it．Pretending to understand what you actually did not may just bring yourself embarrassment or even disgrace．But the time I most need to be confident is when my students come to my office and bargain about the grades I have given for their Speeches．（The course I’m teaching here is Public Speaking）．Modesty is a trait highly valued in China，but it won’t be of much help here if you want to survive and succeed in a good American graduate program．
51．To compete with American students it’s very important to ．
A．be quite confident B．be polite and friendly
C．have more discussions with them D．understand what they think about
52．A professor will have the worst opinion of a student who ．
A．gives a silly or simple answer
B．tries to seize any chance to speak in class
C．shows no interest in the course
D．is considered to have no opinion of his own
53．The author is most likely to feel embarrassed if ．
A．he asks a student to repeat what he has said
B．the students bargain with him
C．he pretends to know what he doesn’t
D．he has to give a speech
54．We learn from the second paragraph that ．
A．we should also remain modest in America
B．modesty doesn’t help you much in America
C．Americans also like modest people
D．modesty can help you through an American graduate program
55．The passage is mainly developed by ．
A．providing examples
B．making comparisons
C．giving different figures
D．telling personal experiences
D
The world is filled with smart，talented and gifted people．We meet them every day．A few days ago，my car was not running well．I pulled it into a garage，and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes．He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine．I was amazed．The sad truth is，great talent is not enough．
I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn．I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $100，000 a year．A business consultant who specializes in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially．It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase，“They are one skill away from great wealth．”
There is an old saying that goes，“Job means "just over broke（破产）’”．And unfortunately，I would say that the saying applies to millions of people．Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence，most workers“ live within their means”．They work and they pay the bills．Instead I recommend young people to seek work for what they will learn，more than what they will earn．
When I ask the classes I teach，“How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald’s?” almost all the students raise their hands．I then ask，“So if most of you can cook a better hamburger，how come McDonald’s makes more money than you?” The answer is obvious: McDonald’s is excellent at business systems．The reason why so many talented people are poor is that they focus on building a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems．The world is filled with talented poor people ．They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger．
56．The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph that ．
A．he is just one of the talented people
B．he is ready to help others
C．he has a sharp sense of hearing
D．he knows little about car repairing
57．The underlined part in the third paragraph can be best replaced by ．
A．spend more than they can afford
B．do in their own way
C．live in their own circle
D．live within what they earn
58．Why do talented people earn so 1ittle according to the author?
A．They don’t work hard enough
B．They lack financial intelligence
C．They don’t make full use of their talents
D．They have no specialized skills．
59．The success of McDonald"s lies in its ．
A．skills at making hamburgers B．good business systems
C．talented workers D．excellent service
60．The main purpose of the author is to tell us ．
A．how young people can find a satisfactory job
B．what schools should teach students
C．why so many talented people are poor
D．how McDonald’s makes much money

阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。（请注意问题后的词数要求）
The Japanese love to give gifts．This habit is not practiced only on special occasions，but it’s widely accepted as social responsibility．Because gift-giving is an important social aspect of Japanese life．It’s important to be aware of some key factors．
Devalue the gifts you give．The important thing is to act and seem modest．You don’t want the receiver to think that you are arrogant or proud．Denigrate（贬低）your gift as much as possible．It doesn’t matter if the label on the box bears the symbol for a famous brand，The Japanese value the appearance of a modest gift-giver who tries to stay from praise．
Praise the gift you receive．Although praising may seem obvious，overpraising the gift is the key．It’s also important to praise the fine taste of the gift-giver in making that particular choice for you．And don’t forget to give a thousand and one thanks．
__________________, unless you are urged to do so．And when you do，you must take the utmost care in unwrapping it．Don’t look eager，and be careful that you don’t tear the paper or cut the ribbon．After observing，praising，and thanking，be sure to rewrap the gift as if it had never been opened．Try to appear as if you take great pride in the value of it the gift．
Choose gifts with practical value．In general，don’t buy things such as ornaments，vases，and kitchenware，it’s already assumed that everyone has these things．To do so may suggest that you don’t approve of the other person’s taste．Also，most Japanese houses are very small and don’t have extra space for useless junk．
76．What is the best title for the passage?（no more than l0 words）．
77．Fill in the blank in the fourth paragraph with proper words．（no more than 6 words）
