How do successful people think? What drives them? Interviews and investigations __41__ that there are several keys to success that successful people share.
First of all, successful people never blame someone or something outside of themselves for their __42__ to go ahead. They realize that their future lies in their own hands. They understand that they cannot __43__ things in life, such as nature, the past and other people. But in the meantime, they are well aware that they can control their own thoughts and actions. They take
__44__ for their life and regard this as one of the most empowering things they can do. Perhaps what most __45__ successful people from others is that they live a life “on purpose” ---- they are doing what they believe they are put here to do. In their opinion, having a purpose in their life is the most important element that enables them to become fully __46__ people. They hold that when they live their life on purpose, their main concern is to do the job right. They love what they do ---- and it shows. People want to do business with them because of their commitment (责任心). To live their life on purpose, successful people find a cause they believe in and __47__ a business around it. Besides, they never easily give up. Once they have set up goals in their life, they are
__48__ to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. Rather than seeing it __49__ or depressing they use the knowledge to spur themselves on and go after what they want energetically and passionately.
III. Reading Comprehension
The Making of a Surgeon
How does a doctor recognize the point in time when he is finally a “surgeon”? As my year as chief resident (进修医生) drew to a close, I asked myself this question on more than one occasion.
The answer, I concluded,was __50__. When you can say to yourself, “There is no surgical patient I cannot treat competently (胜任地), treat just __51__ or better than any other surgeon” -- then, and not until then, you are indeed a surgeon. I was __52__ that point.
Take, __53__, the emergency situations that we met almost every nigh t．The first few months of the year I had __54__ the ringing of the telephone. I knew it meant another critical resolution to be __55__. Often, after I had told Walt or Larry what to do in a particular __56__,I’d have trouble getting back to sleep. I’d __57__ all the facts of the case and, often, wonder if I had made a poor decision. More than once at two or three in the morning,after lying __58__ for an hour, I’d get out of bed, dress and drive to the hospital to see the patient myself. It was the only way I could find the __59__ of mind I needed to relax.
Now, in the last month of my residency, __60__ was no longer a problem. Sometimes I still couldn’t be sure of my decision, but I had learned to accept this as a __61__ problem for a surgeon.
I knew that with my knowledge and experience, any decision I’d made was certain to be a __62__ one. It was a nice feeling.
This all sounds conceited (自负的) and I guess it is -- but a surgeon needs concei t. He needs it to encourage him in trying moments when he’s bothered by the __63__ and uncertainties that are part of the practice of medicine. He has to feel that he’s as good as and probably better than any other surgeon in the world. Call it conceit -- call it self-confidence; whatever it was, I had it. And it is, I am sure, what a person has to make a(n) __64__ in life.
50. A. self-service B. self-appreciation C. self-respect D. self-confidence
51. A. more than B. as well as C. other than D. as long as
52. A. supporting B. approving C. handling D. approaching

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
A
Change is one of the common facts of life. Most of us have seen a number of changes in our own lives from simple things like fashion trends and entertainment to big changes in technology.
Language, too, has experienced change and continues to develop. The continuous change is what ke eps languages alive.
Slang is a way in which languages can transform and are renewed. Slang is the use of informal words and expressions that are not considered standard in a language. Some consider slang to be witty (言辞巧妙的) and clever, adding spice to the informal written and spoken language. Walt Whitman described slang as “the start of imagination and humor, breathing into its nostrils (鼻孔) the breath of life”. However, others criticize its use, believing that it weakens the language.
The spoken English language of today’s younger generation is filled with slang words and expressions. These lively words and phrases are an example of how language plants its own seeds of change that develop within social circumstances.
Sometimes slang is the use of a word that is already in the standard dictionary, for example, lift (to pick up or raise) is given a new meaning, such as “to steal”; or hunk (a large piece of something) has now become “a handsome man”. Other times, slang is an invented word, such as chocoholic, which means “a person who loves chocolate”. Other invented words are mula, which means “money” and airhead, which means “a person who is stupid”.
Now, you’ll understand your friends if they say something like, “I was such an airhead to think that I could get away with lifting a whole box of chocolates from the store just because I was all out of mula.”
65. Wha t was Whitman’s attitude towards slang?
A. He was doubtful about it.
B. He thought highly of it.
C. He showed no interest in it.
D. He was against the use of it.
66. The underlined word “spice” in the third paragraph probably means “______”.
A. damage
B. difficulty
C. fun
D. sugar
67. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. “Hunk” is an invented word.
B. Slang cannot be found in the dictionary.
C. An “airhead” refers to a person out of money.
D. People hold different opinions towards slang.
68. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. An introduction to slang.
B. The change of language.
C. The use of slang.
D. The origin of slang.
B
It’s said that someon e somewhere in the world is always eating sushi (寿司). It’s the healthy snack of choice for people of all cultures.
There are different recipes (食谱) for making sushi. This one is really easy and fun. Try it!
Ingredients
200 grams of raw salmon (三文鱼) in one piece (other raw fish like tuna is fine)
2 cups of rice
2 cups of water
1/2 cups of vinegar
1 teaspoon of salt
2 tablespoons of sugar
Wasabi (芥末酱)
Japanese soy sauce (酱油)
Instructions
Wash your hands before you start
Put the sugar and salt in the vinegar (醋) to make a mixture. Keep it in a container.
Boil the rice in the 2 cups of water. This is a little less water than usual to make the rice slightly harder.
Leave the rice to cool down for 10 minutes after it’s boiled.
Put the rice into a large container. Add half of the mixture.
Mix it all together with your hands. Keep mixing until it sticks together. You may need to add more of the mixture.
Let the rice cool down.
Wet your hands. Make balls of rice. Each one should be about the size of a table tennis ball.
Take a sharp knife and cut the salmon into thin slices. Each slice should be about 3 mm thick.
With the rice ball in one hand, press the cut salmon on top. Make it into a rectangular (矩形的) shape.
Put the sushi on a plate.
Attention
The biggest concern people have about sushi is its freshness. Raw fish can attract bacteria, which can makes us ill or even cause death. When choosing a whole fish, the eyes should be clear. The skin should be bright and smooth and not breaking-up. When choosing cut fish, the meat ought not to give off an unpleasant smell. It should also “bounce back” at you when you touch it. In other words, it should look fairly hard. Don’t buy sushi in the street. Buy from shops or supermarkets that others can recommend.
Lots of wasabi also helps kill bacteria. It also makes your head want to explode.
Put a little wasabi and soy sauce in a
small dish.
Serve the sushi to your friends. It goes
well with green tea.
69. To make sushi more delicious, you may as well ______.
A. pour some green tea into rice
B. eat it with a bit soy sauce and wasabi
C. add as much wasabi as possible to get a healthy snack
D. choose cooked fish rather than fish that are uncooked
70. What does this passage mainly discuss?
A. Making sushi is easy and fun
B. popular Japanese fast food
C. Making your own sushi
D. There are different recipes for making sushi
71. We can infer from the passage that ______.
A. Sushi has become a multi-billion industry
B. Making sushi is a demanding job for every one
C. Sushi is popular not only in Japan but also in China
D. You should buy sushi in shops or supermarkets only on people’s recommendation
C
“To be or not to be.” Outside the Bible, these six words are the most famous in all the literature of the world. They were spoken by Hamlet when he was thinking aloud, and they are the most famous words in Shakespeare because Hamlet was speaking not only for himself but for every thinking man and woman. To be or not to be ---- to live or not to live, to live richly and abundantly (丰富地) and eagerly, or to live dully and meanly and scarcely. A philosopher once wanted to know whether he was alive or not, which is a good question for everyone to put to himself occasionally. He answered it by saying, “I think, therefore I am.”
But the best definition of existence I ever saw was one written by another philosopher who said, “To be is to be in relations.” If this is true, the n the more relations a living thing has, the more it is alive. To live abundantly means simply to increase the range and intensity (强度) of our relations. Unfortunately, we are so constituted (组成) that we get to love our routine. But other than our regular occupation, how much are we alive? If you are interested only in your regular occupation, you are alive only to that extent. So far as other things are concerned ---- poetry and prose, music, pictures, sports, unselfish friendships, politics, international affairs ---- you are dead.
On the contrary, it is true that every time you acquire a new interest ---- even more, a new accomplishment ---- you increase your power of life. No one who is deeply interested in different kinds of subjects can remain unhappy. The real pessimist is the person who has lost interest.
Bacon said that a man dies as often as he loses a friend. But we gain new life by contacts with new friends, and new ideas and thoughts, too. Where your thoughts are, there will be your life also. If your thoughts are limited only to your business, only to your physical welfare, only to your narrow circle of the town in which you live, then you live in a narrow restricted life. But if you are interested in the characters of a good novel, then you are living with those highly interested people; if you listen intently (专注地) to fine music, you are always away from immediate surroundings and living in a world of passion and imagination.
To be or not to be ---- to live intensely and richly, or merely to exist, depends on ourselves. Let us widen and intensify (增强) our relations. While we live, let us live.
72. What does the author mainly want to do by this passage?
A. The author wants to argue against an idea.
B. The author wants to put forward an idea.
C. The author wants to introduce some famous sayings.
D. The author wants to explain some famous sayings.
73. What does the underlined word “pessimist” most probably mean?
A. It means somebody who always expects the worst to happen.
B. It means somebody who is always interested in making new friends.
C. It means somebody who always lives in a world of passion and imagination.
D. It means somebody who likes to live a rich and abundant life.
74. Which of the following behaviors is probably encouraged by the author?
A. Limiting our thoughts to our business and physical welfare
B. Exposing ourselves to new friends, ideas and thoughts.
C. Getting along with those highly interested people.
D. Living in a world of passion and imagination.
75. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. To be or not to be, that is a question.
B. I think, therefore I am.
C. To be is to be in relations.
D. A man dies as often as he loses a friend.
Section C
Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.
76._______
Tourism is considered as one of the fastest growing industries in Australia, which contributes significantly to the Australian economy. According to ATC (September 1998), 4.22 million visitors came to Australia in the year ending June, 1998. The main visitors are from Japan, New Zealand and United Kingdom. This paper attempts to analyze whether Australia has the ability to compete successfully with other countries as it enters the new millennium. The analysis will be used as the tool to analyze Australian tourism competitiveness.
77._______
The most obvious strength of Australia is the diversity of natural and manmade attractions. Australia has hundreds of national parks, many of which are world heritage listed. Moreover, there are many unique plants and wildlife found nowhere else on earth. Conde Nast Traveller magazine has recently ranked Australia as the best desirable destination for travelers in 1998, with Sydney being chosen as the best city in the world. Another strength of Australia is the friendliness and easygoing attitude of Australian people, which is wo rld-famous. In addition, the mix of Australian population is truly multicultural. This cultural diversity reflects in the diversity of art, entertain-ment, and cuisine found in Australia. Apart from the great mix of culture, Aboriginal culture is also another draw card for Australia. The recent survey found that 80% of European visitors want to see and experience Aboriginal culture when they come to Australia.
78._______
One of Australia’s inherent weaknesses is its geographical isolation. This means Australia can not position itself as a mass tourism market. However, Australian Tourist Commission attempts to change the perception of distance barrier by promoting Australia as the destination that “takes only as long to get to as a flight between West coast United States and Europe”. Restrictive visa policy is another weakness. Australia’s visa policy is against international trend towards more freedom of international travel. In addition, visa fee of $ 50 has been implemented upon the visitors from Asian countries. Visa regulation should be relaxed, at least to allow free entry for citizens of low risk countries, those which have low visa rejection rates and low overstay rates.
79._______
There are several new emerging markets, which represent a promising opportunity for Australia. These new markets are China, India, Philippines, and South America. China, in
part icular, is Australia’s most promising market because Australia has recently been awarded official tourism destination status by the Chinese government. In only one year, the number of Chinese tourists has already become the sixth largest market for Australia, with the growth of
25 %. Another opportunity is from backpackers market, which is becoming more important over time. In addition, they tend to stay longer than most average tourists. According to Office of National Tourismaverage backpackers stay 72 nights in the country. In the year ended March 1997, 255,700 international backpackers visited Australia.
80._______
According to the SWOT analysis, Australia has capability to compete in the international tourism market for the new millennium. It is apparent that there are many strengths and opportunities ahead to make sure that Australia can secure its competitive position. However, it is important to also recognize that there are some inherent weaknesses and possible threats that could have the im pact on Australia’s competitiveness. These issues need to be dealt with so that the overall competitiveness of Australia will be enhanced. Furthermore, to be able to compete in the long run, it is important to make sure that there is a balance between tourism development and environmental protection. It is the beautiful natural environment which draws visitors to Australia in the first place.
Section D
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
The poverty line is the minimum inc ome that people need for an acceptable standard of living. People with incomes below the poverty line are considered poor. Economists study the causes of poverty in order to find solutions to the problem.
As the general standard of living in the country rises, the poverty line does, too. Therefore, even with today’s relatively high standard of living, about 10 percent of the people in the United States are below the poverty line. However, if these people had stable jobs, they could have an acceptable standard of living. Economists suggest several reasons why poor people do not have jobs.
For one thing, more than half of the poor p eople in the United States are not qualified to work. Over 40 percent of the poor people are children. By law, children less than 16 years old cannot work in many industries. And over 10 percent of the poor people are old. Many companies do not hire people over 65 years old, the normal retirement age.
Some poor adults do not look for jobs for a variety of personal reasons: they are sick, they do not have any motivation (动力),they have family problems, or they do not believe that they can find a job.
Other poor people look for a job but cannot find one. Many poor adults never went to high school. Therefore, when they look for jobs, they have few skills that they can offer.
At the present time, the government thinks it can reduce poverty in the country in the following ways.
First, if the national economy grows, businesses and industries hire more workers. Some of the poor who are qualified to look for jobs may find employment. Then they will no longer be below the poverty line.
Second, if society invests in the poor, the poor will become more productive. If the government spends money on social programs, education, and training for poor people, the poor will have the skills to offer. Then it is more likely that they can find jobs.
Finally, if the government distributes society’s income differently, it raises some poor people above the poverty line. The government collects taxes from the non-poor and gives money to the poor. These payments to the poor are called welfare. In 2010 over 18 million people in the United States received welfare.
Some economists are looking for better solutions to the poverty problem. However, at the present time, many people depend on welfare for a minimally acceptable standard of living.
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)
81. What does the poverty line in a country change with?
_______.
82. Most of the American poor people are not qualified for employment because _______.
83. In order for the poor to have the skills to offer, the government must invest in _______.
84. How do those below the poverty line enjoy the existing welfare from the government?
