第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30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 ★

A cowboy named Bud was looking after his herd in a mountain in Alberta when suddenly a BMW moved forward towards him. The driver, a young man in a suit, sunglasses and a tie, leaned (靠着) out of the window and asked the cowboy, “If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves (小牛) you have in your herd, will you give me a calf?”

Bud looked at the man, then looked at his herd and calmly answered, “Sure, why not?”

The man parked his car, took out his computer and surfed a NASA (美国航空及太空总署) page, where he called up a GPS (全球定位系统) satellite to get an exact fix on his location. Within seconds, the young man received an email on his cellphone. Finally, he printed out a full-color, 150-page report on his hitech HP printer, turned to the cowboy and said, “You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves.”

“That’s right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves,” said Bud. He watched the young man select one of the animals and looked on him with amusement as the young man put it into his car.

Then Bud said, “Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my calf?”The young man thought for a second and said, “Okay, why not?”

“You’re a government official,” said Bud.

“Wow! That’s correct,” said the man, “but how did you guess that?”

“No guessing required,” answered the cowboy. “You showed up here even though nobody called you; you wanted to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked. You

used millions of dollars worth of equipment trying to show me how much smarter than me; and you don’t know a thing about how working people make a living — or about cows. This is a herd of sheep ... now give me back my dog.”

56. The young man asked Bud for a calf because _____.

A. he really liked raising a calf

B. he just wanted to show off

C. he preferred helping the poor

D. he guessed the number of calves

57. Which of the following is TRUE about Bud according to the text?

B. Bud gave his calf to the young man at last.

C. Bud had to look after his herd because of his hard living.

D. Bud admired the young man for his wealth very much.

58. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph implies that _____.

A. Bud wanted to drive the young man away

B. Bud got a dog as a prize for his correct guess

C. the young man learned how to tell dogs from sheep

D. the young man thinking himself smart was foolish in fact

B ★★

I was eleven years old, waiting for my exam at Saraswati Vidyalaya, my school in Nagpur. “No. 12, please come forward.” Kirti, a very fat girl from my class, stepped ahead. I heard my classmates laughing and so I tried to stop them with my eyes. But my good intentions were mistaken. The next morning, my teacher, Mrs. Kamble, told me, “Ashwini, I’ve received a complaint about you.” I was sho cked. The girl I was protecting thought I’d been laughing at her.

I tried to explain but the teacher refused to hear me out. She punished me by making me stand by the door. I knew I was right. Such punishment to a class topper was simply unheard of. But, slowly, my pride disappeared. Instead of being angry, I understood the other students who have been punished at times. For the first time, I felt humbled (谦逊的).

Three years later, I was in the math class. Mr. Prabhuraman, wrote an equation (方程式) —one he’d taught us the day before —on the blackboard. “Anyone who doesn’t know how to solve this,”he said, “please leave the class at once.”I knew I could solve only the first two steps. But my pride made me stay there. Unfortunately, the one who was asked to solve it was me. I just stood there, chalk in hand, trying not to look foolish. I prepared myself for a good talking-to (斥责), but Mr. Prabhuraman told me kindly, “Go back to your seat.”

Today, two decades later, those incidents have made me think. One teacher punished me for something I didn’t do; the other forgave me for something I did wrong. Both experiences had an effect on me. They remind me that no matter what you accomplish (完成), you must always be humble.

59. When the very fat girl appeared, Ashwini _____.

A. took no notice of her

B. laughed at her

C. said hello to her

D. tried to stop others making fun of her

60. After receiving a complaint, Mrs. Kamble _____.

A. said nothing about it

B. was disappointed

C. felt very angry

D. tried to find out the truth

61. Why did Ashwini refuse to leave the class?

A. He felt it would make him lose face.

B. He could work out the equation.

C. His teacher believed in his ability.

D. His teacher never asked him any questions.

62. The text is a story about _____.

A. how to communicate with others

B. how to get along with teachers

C. the ways to protect others

D. the danger of pride

C ★★

We do not know when man first began to use salt, but we do know that it has been used in many different ways throughout history. Historical evidence shows, for example, that people who lived over 3,000 years ago ate salted fish. Thousands of years ago in Egypt, salt was used to preserve (保存) the dead.

Stealing salt was considered a major crime (罪行) during some periods of history. In the eighteenth century, for example, if a person was caught stealing salt, he could be put in prison and his ears could be cut off.

In the Roman Empire, one of the most important roads was the one that carried salt from the salt mines to Rome. Guards were stationed along the route to protect against salt thieves, and they received their pay in salt, thus bringing the English word, salary. Any guard who fell asleep while on duty was thought to be “not worth his salt”, and as a result he wou ld get a little less salt on his next payday. The expression, “not worth his salt”, is still used today in English.

In the modern world salt has many uses beyond the dining table. It is used in making glass and airplane parts, in the growing of crops, and in the killing of weeds (杂草). It is also used to make water soft, to melt (融化) ice on roads and highways, to make soap, and to fix colors in cloth. Salt can be got in various ways besides being taken from mines underground. Salt water from the ocean, salt water lakes or small seas can be used to make salt. Yet, no matter where it comes from, salt will continue to play an important role in the lives of people everywhere.

63. According to the text, salt can be used in the following EXCEPT _____.

A. keeping dead bodies

B. punishing thieves

C. protecting crops

D. making industrial products

64. In the Roman Empire many people were employed as guards to _____.

A. protect the city of Rome

B. watch people carrying salt

C. prevent thieves from stealing salt

D. carry salt from the mines to Rome

65. The expression “not worth his salt” used today refers to the one who _____.

A. fails to do his work well

B. should not be paid in salt

C. doesn’t want to work at all

D. should use less salt

66. The main purpose of the text is to tell readers _____. A. how salt was found and got

B. salt is important in people’s life

C. salt was difficult to get in the past

D. what salt brings to the English language

D ★★

Johann Gutenberg, who worked as a goldsmith (金匠), took what had already been discovered, and created a small invention that changed history. He created a machine that allowed him to move small blocks of letters in such a way that written material could be printed and mass-produced. Few people could read before Guttenberg made the invention, but once books became less expensive, more Europeans could read and write.

Block printing existed long before Gutenberg. The Chinese had been using wood blocks to print books as early as 868, but a new set of woodcuts (木刻印版) had to be made for each book. Producing one book was not easy; producing all kinds of books was more difficult.

Writing ink dates from about 2500 BC in Egypt and China. Gutenberg used an oil-based printing ink that would last longer than other inks used in his time. We don’t know much about Gutenberg because he was not famous during his lifetime. He was born in Germany about 1400. In 1448, Gutenberg developed signatures for each number, letter, and punctuation mark (标点符号). He then built the molds (模型) to hold the signatures in place. Gutenberg published the first mass-produced book: a 1,282 page Bible. To this day, more copies of the Bible have been printed than any other book.

Copies of Gutenberg’s invention spread throughout Europe, but the German gold smith did not get rich from his invention. Some officials denounced the invention of printing because they feared that it would spread bad ideas. By 1500 there were 1,700 printing presses in Europe. The presses had already produced about 20 million volumes (册) of 40,000 different books.

67. What happened after Johann Gutenberg’s invention? A. People could afford to read books.

B. People became interested in inventing.

C. It was still difficult to print all kinds of books.

D. Punctuation mark began to be used in printing.

68. Compared with block printing in China, Johann Gutenberg’s method _____.

A. was difficult to run

B. needed harder paper

C. used a new kind of ink

D. was put into use earlier

69. The underlined word “denounced” in the last paragraph means _____.

A. fought against

B. accepted

C. laughed at

D. supported

70. What is the best title for the text?

A. A famous 1,282 page Bible

B. The life of a famous inventor

C. An invention that changed history

D. The development of printing

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Does failure really exist?

If you believe you have failed, then you have. If you believe you don’t have the ability to succeed, then you don’t. 71 The mom ent you decide to give up or stop working toward your goals, failure is born.

72

Most people give themselves an out without even realizing it. They are willing to work hard on reaching their goals, but only until the going gets too rough or their en ergy dies down. Don’t do that! 73 Never quit, never admit failure, and never lose heart.

Don’t believe in a clear finish line for goals.

It’s a good idea to set a general timeline (时间表), but remember that something will be beyond your control. 74 If you lock yourself into a given timeline, you might make yourself feel like a failure! Instead, get a general idea of when you’d like your goal to be completed. Then take it one day at a time and focus on making progress instead of reaching the finish line in as little time as possible.

Be sure that you don’t see difficulties as failures.

Difficulties mean only one thing: it’s not time for your goal to be completed yet. That’s it! It doesn’t mean you failed; it doesn’t mean you’re weak; it doesn’t mean you’ll never achieve your goals. 75 You’ve got to keep moving forward and find a way over, around, or through the difficulties.

A. Never give up on yourself.

B. Failure only exists in your own mind!

C. That’s exactly how failure makes us feel.

D. It simply means you have not done enough yet.

E. You can never say exactly when your goal will be reached.

F. Make up your mind to make your goal happen, no matter what!

G. Work hard towards your goal, and you will be likely to get good results.

One possible version:

Isn’t it a magic?

In the pictures, first there is a coin in the hand; then the magician is holding his hand and shaking. What will we see in the hand next? Does the coin still exist? No, at last when the hand is opened, we can see there is a stamp!

Is it a magic? No. In the pictures, the stamp stands for power. These pictures tell us that in our life, some people with lots of money think they can do whatever they want to, because in their opinion, money means power. But it is not correct! We should stop it from ruining our lives!
