His son looked surprised. “I can understand why shouldn’bit of money?”

“That would be a very ” Nick said.

Nick’had heard their conversation, asked why they should not buy salt more cheaply if they could. Nick replied, “ a lower price would be because he was desperate for money. And the sweat and struggle of the man who worked very hard to produce it.”

第三节 阅读理解

A.

Imagination and fantasy can play an important role in achieving the things we fear. Children know this very well. Fred Epstein, in his book I Make It to Five, tells a story he heard from one of his friends about Tom, a four-year-old boy with a cancer in his back bone. He came through several operations and a lot of pain by mastering his imagination.

Tom loved to pretend, and he particularly loved to play superheroes. Dr. Epstein explained that it was actually a brilliant way for his young mind to handle the terrifying and painful life he led.

The day before his third trip to the operating room, Tom was terribly afraid. “ Maybe I could go as Superman,” he whispered to his mom. Hearing this, the mother hesitated for while. She has avoided buying the expensive costume(戏装), but finally she agreed.

The next day Tom appeared as the powerful Superman, showing off through the hospital halls and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way. And Tom, with the strength of his fantasy, successfully made it through the operation.

The power of imagination need not be reserved for children only. We all have the power to use our fantasies to attempt things we never thought possible, to go through those things that seem impossible, and to achieve what we never believed we could. Just as Dr. Epstein puts it, “If you can dream it, you can do it.”

It doesn’t mean that you should dress as a superhero for your next job interview. But, next time you are tested in a way that seems impossible, imagine what it would take to overcome it. Become the person you need to become to win over your challenge and do it in your mind first. So, let your imagination run wild, and dare to dream.

26. What do we know about Tom?

A. He was seriously ill.B. He was a dishonest boy.C. He was crazy about magic.D. He was Dr. Epstein’s patient.

27. What can be inferred about Tom’s mother?

A. She was a rich lady.B. She refused Tom’s request.

C. She wanted Tom to be a superhero. D. She wanted to get Tom through the pain.

28. When Tom went for the third operation, he_________.

A. pretended to be painful B. acted like a superhero C. appeared in poor spirits D. argued with his mother

29. In the last paragraph, you are advised________.

A. to go through some difficult tests B. to wake up from your wild dreams

C. to become a powerful person in your mindD. to wear expensive clothes for job interviews

30. What is the purpose of the passage?

A. To tell us an interesting story.B. To help us make right decisions.

C. To advise us to care about children. D. To encourage us to use our imagination.

B.

Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is. in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.

This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.

When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.

Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become rally good at whatever it is you put all that work into.

31. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about__________.

A. the reasons for success B. the meaning of success C. the standards of success D. the importance of success

32. Paragraph 2, the underlined word that refers to__________.

A. being good at something B. setting a practical goal C. putting in more timeD. succeeding in life

33. Successful people suggest doing what one loves because_____________.

A. work makes one feel painB. one tends to enjoy his work

C. one gives up his work easilyD. it takes a lot of time to succeed

34. What can be infer from Paragraph 4?

A. Successful people like to show their great skills.

C. People need to achieve success at the cost of life.

35. What is the main theme of the passage?

A. Having a goal is vital to success.

C. One cannot succeed without time and practice.B. People sometimes succeed without luck or talent. D. It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success. B. Being good is different from being great. D. Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.

C.

One day, when I was working as a psychologist in England, an adolescent boy showed up in my office. It was David. He kept waling up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had referred him to me. “This boy has lost his family,” he wrote. “He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and I’m very worried about him. Can I help?”

I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesn’t have the answer to, and which no wards can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically.

The first two times we met, David didn’t say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the children’s drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon---in complete silence and without looking at me. It’s not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.

Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me?

“Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with,” I thought. “Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.” Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly.

“It’s your turn,” he said.

After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times, about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life.

Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one---without any words---can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens.

36. When he first met the author, David_________.

A. felt a little excited B. walked energetically C. looked a little nervous D. showed up with his teacher

37. As a psychologist, the author __________.

A. was ready to listen to David B. was skeptical about psychology

C. was able to describe David’s problem D. was sure of handling David’s problem

38. David enjoyed being with the author because he____________.

A. wanted to ask the author for adviceB. needed to share sorrow with the author

C. liked the children’s drawing in the office D. beat the author many times in the chess game

39. What can be inferred about David?

A. He recovered after months of treatment. B. He liked biking before he lost his family.

C. He went into university soon after starting to talk. D. He got friends in school before he met the author.

40. What made David change?

A. His teacher’s help. B. The author’s friendship.

C. His exchange of letters with the author. D. The author’s silent communication with him.

D.

While Jennifer was at home taking an online exam for her business law class, a monitor(监控器) a few hundred miles away was watching her every move.

Using a web camera equipped in Jennifer’s Los Angeles apartment, the monitor in Phoenix tracked how frequently her eyes moved from the computer screen and listened for the secret sounds of a possible helper in the room. Her Internet access was locked---remotely---to prevent Internet searches, and her typing style was analyzed to make sure she was who she said she was; Did she enter her student number at the same speed as she had in the past? Or was she slowing down?

In the battle against cheating, this is the a key to encourage honestly in the booming field of on line education. The technology gives trust to the entire system, to the institution and to online education in general. Only with solid measures against cheating, experts say, can Internet universities show that their exams and diplomas are valid---that students haven’t searched the Internet to get the right answers.

Although online classes have existed for more than a decade, the concern over cheating become sharper in the last year with the growth of “open online courses.” Private colleges, public universities and corporations are jumping into the online education field, spending millions of dollars to attract potential students, while also taking steps to help guarantee honesty at a distance.

Aside from the web cameras, a number of other high-tech methods are becoming increasingly popular. Among them are programs that check student’s identities using personas information, such as the telephone numbers they once used.

Other programs can produce unique exams by drawing on a large list of questions and can recognize possible cheaters by

analyzing whether difficult test questions are answered at he same speed as easy ones. As in many university classes, term papers are scanned against some large Internet data banks for cheating.

41. Why was Jennifer watched in an online exam?

A. To correct her typing mistakes. B. To find her secrets in the room

C. To prevent her from slowing down. D. To keep her from dishonest behaviors

42. The underlined expression cutting edge in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______.

A. advanced technique B. sharpening tool C. effective rule D. dividing line

43. For Internet universities, exams and diplomas will be valid if__________.

A. they can attract potential studentsB. they can defeat academic cheating

C. they offer students online help D. they offer many online courses

44. Some programs can find out possible cheaters by_________.

A. checking the question answering speed B. producing a large number of questions

C. scanning the Internet test questions D. giving difficult test questions

45. Which of the following is the best title of this passage?

A. The Advantages of Online ExamsB. The High-tech Methods in Online Courses

C. The Fight against Cheating in Online Education D. The War against the Booming of Online Education

第六节 读写任务

To many people even the word “work” sounds unpleasant, not necessarily because they are lazy. The same man, who dislikes his job in the factory or even in the office, may work hard at the weekend, painting the house or digging the garden.

What is the reason, then? In most cases, it is because these people simply do not enjoy the job they are doing. It does not give them any real satisfaction. It may be quite easy, like making up wooden boxes, but it is very boring. Very often they are doing a job which is just a small part of a much larger one, such as attaching a door handle to a car. But the part they play in actually making the car is so small that they can never say: I have made something!

Yet in modern society somebody has to do ordinary jobs such as cleaning streets because this is the way society is organized. No matter how ordinary a job is, it plays a part in society and therefore deserves our due respect. Society cannot function a single day without the “dull and boring” jobs.

It is reported that thirty volunteers who are at least 18 years old will be chosen from all the globe and sent to the Mars by the year of 2015. The volunteers must make a full preparation that there is almost no chance to return to the earth once they are immigrated to the Mars. What’s more, it is greatly important for them to try to keep a good relationship with other members. Experts strongly warned that the living conditions on the Mars are very hard, for not only the extremely cold climate would they meet with, but also loneliness and fear. On the contrary , the volunteers insist that they have got tired of the life on the earth,so greatly being eager to experience the unknown , mysterious life on the Mars; meanwhile, if the would be succeeded , they would get the honor to be heroes of human beings.

第二节:读写任务

In the passage , the author mainly stressed the importance of small and ordinary work , such as cleaning the street because of their essentiality for the organization of the society ,and thinks those doing such jobs should be respected greatly.

There is no doubt that what a cleaner does is more harder compared with any other jobs in the society. On one hand , they must get up in the early morning every day to clean the street while we are sill in the sweet sleeping dreams . On the other hand, they also suffer from less respect and lower pay , working all day on the street no matter it is sun shines strongly or snow, wind heavily.

Nobody could imagine what an bad environment we would live in if there were no cleaners in the city. Wherever we go , there is rubbish. Maybe we would soon be drowned in the mountain of rubbish. Even worse, if there wee no change about that, diseases would spread at a very quick speed. Is there anything that can be worse than this !

From the above , I can draw the conclusion safely that even the smallest and the most ordinary job,such as cleaning the street is also the necessary part to keep the society going smoothly. Consequently, those who do those most insignificant jobs should get respect as much as those being engineers or teachers.

Parents feel that it is difficult to live with teenagers. Then again, teenagers have feelings about their parents, saying that it is not easy living with them. According to a recent research, the most common between parents and teenagers is that regarding untidiness and daily routine tasks. On the one hand, parents go mad over rooms, clothes thrown on the floor and their children’s refusal to help with the . On the other hand, teenagers lose their patience continually when parents blame them for the towel in the bathroom, not cleaning up their room or refusing to do the shopping at the supermarket.

The research, conducted by St. George University, shows that different parents have different to these problems. However, some approaches are more than others. For example, those parents who yell at their children for their untidiness, but clean the room for them, have fewer chances of changing their children’s . On the contrary, those who let teenagers experience the of their actions can do better. For example, when teenagers who don’t help their parents with the shopping don’t find their favorite drink in the refrigerator, they are forced to their actions.

Psychologists say that is the most important thing in parent-child relationships. Parents should they have to say. Parents may their children when they are untidy but they should

A

Samuel Osmond is a 19-year-old law student from Cornwall, England. He never studied the piano. However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the notes in his head. Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata(奏鸣曲)by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him.

Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable .They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesn’t even realize that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studies law and music.

Samuel can’t understand why everyone is so surprised. “I grew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago, I suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being able to read music and without having any lessons. It comes easily to me ---I hear the notes and can bear them in mind---each and every note,” says Samuel.

Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can’t play it. Samuel says confidently,” It’s all about super memory---I guess I have that gift.”

However, Samuel’s ability to remember things doesn’t stop with music. His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story word for word.

It was a cold winter day. A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth (收费站). “I’m paying for myself, and for the six cars behind me,” she said with a smile, handing over seven tickets. One after another, the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed, “Some lady up ahead already paid your fare.”

It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend’s refrigerator: “Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty.” The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down.

Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. “I thought it was beautiful,” she said, explaining why she’d taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, “like a message from above.” Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much

that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper, admitting that though she liked it, she didn’t know where it came from or what it really meant.

Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days.

“Here’s the idea,” Anne says. “Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly.” Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says, “

The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours!

31. Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her?

C. She hoped to please others.

D. She had seven tickets.

32. Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because she .

A. thought it was beautifully written

B. wanted to know what it really meant

C. decided to write it on a warehouse wall

D. wanted her husband to put it up in the classroom

33. Who came up with the phrase according to the passage?

A. Judy Foreman.

B. Natalie Smith.

C. Alice Johnson.

D. Anne Herbert.

34. Which of the following statements is closest in the meaning to the underlined sentence above?

Peter loved to shop used articles. Almost a month ago, he bought a popular word game that used little pieces of wood with different letters on them. As he was purchasing it, the salesgirl said, ―Oh, look, the game box hasn‘t even been opened yet. That might be worth some money.‖

Peter examined the box and, sure enough, it was completely covered in factory-sealed plastic. And he saw a date of 1973 on the back of the box.

―You should put that up for auction(拍卖) on the internet, and see what happened.‖ The sales- girl said.

―Yes, you are right. People like something rare,‖ Peter agreed. ―I can‘t imagine there being very many unopened boxed of this game still around 40 years later.‖

―Don‘t forget to tell me if you sell it,‖ The salesgirl smiled.

―No problem,‖ Peter said.

was 543 websites containing information about the changes of the game. Over the years, the game had some produced using letters in different sizes and game boards in different colors. He also found some list of game fans looking for various versions of the game. Peter emailed some of them, telling them what he had.

Two weeks later Peter went back to the shop.

The salesgirl looked at him for a second, then recognized him and said, ―Oh, hi!‖

When I was nine years old, I loved to go fishing with my dad. But the only thing that was not very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn‘t catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, ―Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish‖. I remember I didn‘t know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does?

As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don‘t have any eyelids(眼皮) and the sun hurts their eyes. The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them.

When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, ―We all need to think like salespeople.‖ But it didn‘t completely make sense. My dad never once said, ―If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.‖ What he said was, ―You need to think like fish.‖ Years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me. I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters.

D. To study fishing in many ways.

33. According to the author, fish are more like to be found .

A. in deep water on cloudy days

B. in deep water on sunny days

Daniel Anderson, a famous psychologist, believes it‘s important to distinguish television‘s influences on children from those of the family. We tend to blame TV, he says, for problems it doesn‘t really cause, overlooking our own roles in shaping children‘s minds.

One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child‘s ability to think and to understand the world. While watching TV, children do not merely absorb words and images(影像). Instead, they learn both explicit and hidden meaning from what they see. Actually, children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows. Furthermore, as many teachers agree, children understand far more when parents watch TV with them, explaining new words and ideas. Yet, most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kid in front of the set and do something in another room.

Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment. But according to Anderson, the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading

ability. TV doesn‘t take the place of reading for most children; it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation, such as listening to the radio and playing sports. Things like parents‘ educational background have a stronger influence on a child‘s reading. ―A child‘s reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent reads,‖ Anderson says.

Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers IQ (智商) scores and affects school performance. But here, too, Anderson notes that no studies have proved it. In fact research suggests that it‘s the other way around. ―If you‘re smart young, you‘ll watch less TV when you‘re older,‖ Anderson says. Yet, people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers. For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children. However, by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally believed, Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned without considering other influences.

36. By watching TV, children learn .

A. images though words

B. more than explicit meanings

C. more about images than words

D. little about people‘s psychology

37. An educational program is best watched by a child .

A. on his own

B. with other kids

C. with his parents

D. with his teachers

38.Which of the following is most related to children‘s reading ability?

A. Radio-listening.

B. Television-watching.

C. Parents‘ reading list.

D. Parents‘ educational background.

39. Anderson believes that .

A. the more a child watches TV, the smarter he is

B. the younger the child is, the more he watches TV

C. the smarter a child is, the less likely he gets addicted to TV

D. the less a child watches TV, the better he performs at school

40.What is the main purpose of the passage?

A. To advise on the educational use of TV.

B. To describe TV‘s harmful effects on children.

C. To explain traditional views on TV influences.

D. To present Anderson‘s unconventional ideas.

It was once common to regard Britain as a society with class distinction. Each class had unique characteristics.

In recent years, many writers have begun to speak the ?decline of class‘ and ?classless society‘ in Britain. And in modern day consumer society everyone is considered to be middle class.

But pronouncing the death of class is too early. A recent wide-ranging society of public opinion found 90 percent of people still placing themselves in particular class; 73 percent agreed that class
