It is an exciting idea to send two robots driving over very different places of Mars at the same time, to be able to see what is on the other side of the hill. Last month, NASA announced it was sending one robot to Mars, but after two weeks, it decided there was enough money for two. The robots will be sent up within two weeks of each other in May and June of 2002 from Kennedy Space Center. If all goes will, the two spacecraft will touch down on Mars, after a seven-and-a-half-month space flight, on January 2 and 20, 2004. The robots, each weighing 150 kilograms, can cover 100 meters per day. They are designed to be able to examine the mineral content of the soil, and their special camera will be under control from Earth, the robots are able to move more freely compared to those sent up before them. The actual landing points have not been determined yet, but the scientists say it will be in areas where they hope to find water. 41.According to the news report, scientists plan to send robots up to Mars to _____.A. find out whether there is water on MarsB. see if robots can find minerals thereC. test how fast robots can drive thereD. prove that robots can work on Mars 42. How long in between will the two robots be sent to Mars?A. 1 year.B. 7.5 months.C. 2 months.D. 2 weeks. 43. One of the important jobs for the robots on Mars is to _____.A. study the soilB. walk everywhereC. test the new camera D. find a suitable landing point 44. We can infer from the last sentence that scientists_____. A. have changed the landing points many times B. hope to land the robots on the surface of water C. are still working on the plan D. know where they can find water B Lillian Beard whistled and smiled while she worked. “Why are you so happy?”her co-workers asked her. “Last week I got my income tax refund,”Lillian answered.“This morning I went to the bank and cashed the check. I have $ 462 in my pocket. I’m thinking about the money. How will I spend it?” After work, Lillian came home and decided to wash come clothes. She looked at the jeans she was wearing. They were dirty, so they put them in the washing machine, too. Ten minutes later she thought, “The money! It’s in the pocket of my jeans!”Lillian ran to the washing machine and took out the jeans. The money was still in the pocket, but it was wet. Lillian put the money on the kitchen table. A few hours later the money was still wet. “Hmmm,”Lillian thought.“How can I dry this money?”Then Lillian had an idea. She could dry the money in her microwave oven! Lillian put the money in the microwave, set the timer for five minutes, and left the kitchen. When Lillian came back a few minutes later, she saw a fire in the microwave. She opened the oven door, blew out the fire, and looked at her money. The money was burned. The next day Lillian took the burned money to the bank. A teller at the bank told her, “If I can see the numbers on theburned bills, I can give new money.”Unfortunately, the teller found numbers on only a few bills. The teller took those bills and gave Lillian $ 17. A newspaper reporter heard about the burned money. He wrote a story about Lillian for the newspaper. Several people read the story and called the newspaper. “Tell Mr. Beard to send the burned money to the US Department of Treasury,”the people said. “Maybe she can get her money back.” Every year about 30,000 people send damaged money to the Treasury Department. Experts there look carefully at the damaged money. Sometimes they can give people new money for the damaged money. Once a farmer’s cow ate-his money ––– thousands of dollars. The farmer killed the cow and sent the cow’s stomach, with the money inside, to the Treasury Department. The experts gave the farmer new money. Lillian sent her money to the Treasury Department. The experts looked at Lillian’s burned money and sent her a check for $ 231. What did Lillian buy with the money? She didn’t buy anything. She gave the $ 231 to friends who needed money. Lillian said, “When I burned the $ 462, I thought, ‘Well, my money is gone.’”The check for $ 231 was a big surprise. I decided to give the money to my friends. Money is important, but people are more important to me. 45. Where does Lillian’s $ 462 come from?A. Her salaryB. Her bonus(奖⾦)C. She picked up on her way homeD. Tax which has been overcharged 46. How did Lillian dry the money?A. By blowingB. By putting it in the sunC. By drying it in microwaveD. By putting on the table 47. How did Lillian know she could send her money to the Treasury Department?A. Her bank told her.B. People from the newspaperC. A friend phoned her.D. She thought out herself. 48. Lillian gave her money to ________.A. her motherB. her friendsC. Treasure DepartmentD. farmer C Your mobile phone rings, and instead of the usual electronic signals, it’s playing your favorite music. A friend sends your favorite song to cheer you up. One day, a record company might forward new records and music videos to your phone. The mobile business is getting into the music business. For the moment, the interest is in pleasant ring tones, but some companies are hoping to take full advantage of the next generation of mobile phones ― all – purpose gadgets(⼩玩意⼉)that blend phone, personal stereo, video player and Internet browser into one. Finally, record companies might send new records and videos to fans who register(注册)their cell phone numbers. The fans could pass music or songs along to friends― a kind of musical trading card. Unlike Internet tracks, mobile downloads would be easy for record companies to control, said former record industry official Ralph Simon, who is now chairman of Yourmobile, based in Santa Monic, California. “If you pass a song along to other phones through a network, each phone can be charged,” said Simon. “It’s like going through a toll gate(收费站). There’s more possibility for copyright control than there is on the Internet.” Massachusetts – Based Converse is offering a service in Portugal and the Netherlands that lets people record tunes on their voice mail or send music as presents to friends. Finally, people might be able to sing karaoke and pass them along. The company is sure that people will want to use music to reach out and touch someone. “A mobile phone is not a listening machine, and you’ll be disappointed if you think you can change it to a radio,” said Ohad Ouziel, a creative manager for Converse in Israel. “But if someone sends you a phone while you’re on vacation, you appreciate the feedling.” 49. The underlined word “blend” in the second paragraph most probably means________.A. sendB. becomeC. mixD. compare 50. “Massachusetts – based Converse”in the sixth paragraph probably refers to_________.A. a personB. a city in IsraelC. a state of the USAD. a company 51. Record companies __________ the idea of passing songs and music along mobile phones.A. are worried aboutB. are interested inC. try hard to stopD. take no notice of 52. According to Ralph Simon it would be easier to _________ through mobile phone network than through the Internet.A. protect copyright of music worksB. send personal messagesC. pass along songs and musicD. send voice mail D Very old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who comes into touch with them. Their values ― this can not be repeated too often ― aren’t necessarily our values. Physical comfort, cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important things. The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a room with rotten food covered by small worms, and an old person lying alone on bed, taking no notice of the worms. But is it interrupting personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of? Some social workers, the ones who clear up the worms, think we’re in danger of carrying this idea of personal freedom to the point where serious risk(冒险)are being taken with the health and safety of the old. Indeed, the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The old is like a car; it needs more mechanical repair as it gets older. You can carry this comparison right through to provision of spare parts. But never forget that such operations are painful experiences, however good the results are. And at what point should you stop to treat the old body? Is it morally right to try to push off death by continuing the development of medicine to excite the forgetful old mind and to m a k e t h e o l d b o d y a c t i v e , k n o w i n g t h a t i t i s d e s i g n e d t o d i e ?

auctions．Some are of wines for 21 drinking, but most are of fine wines．East winter, at Christies, a dozen bottles of Lafite 1945 were 22 down at￡ 158 a bottle．1945 and 1961 are the two most 23 vintage years for claret (红葡萄酒)．Of course, that is not the maximum you could pay．Not 24 ago, an American at Christies paid ￡ 8,500 for one bottle of Lafite 1806．Sometimes, it is a matter of personal 25by the very rich．At other times there can be a 26 objective．Last October, a restaurateur from Memphis, paid ￡ 9,000 for a magnum--that is, a two-bottle size--of 1864 Lafite．He 27 30 people ￡ 1,500 each for a dinner with a small glass of the wine．It was 28 ten times the cost of the wine in publicity for his restaurant．Of course, some people buy wine purely for investment．On the other hand, a real wine lover will use the 29 value of good wine to pay for his own drinking．A syndicate of four will buy a 30 of Lafite 1945 at, say, ￡ 2,000．Each takes three bottles．Then each drinks one bottle, and keeps the other two to sel later at the 31 price as the three cost in the first place．That is, naturally, taking inflation into 32But there is no 33 that a bottle of wine at ￡ 1,000 is a hundred times 34 than one that costs ￡ 10．Perhaps the top price you can pay for wine to enjoy for drinking is ￡100 a bottle．Above ￡ 100, you are paying for something 35 than taste．A．usualB．commonC．dailyD．everyday22、A．knockedB．hitC．bangedD．hammered23、A．up-to-dateB．recentC．NowD．modern24、A．farB．monthsC．longD．way25、A．selfishness B．pride C．habit D．hobby26、A．money B．wholesale

Lanier has entered what he calls the "vast unknown．" A combat veteran and father to four daughters, he can't remain in the military because of a serious back injury earned in Iraq．But he can't yet accept a civilian job because he doesn't know when the military will discharge(使退伍) him．He has no clue how much the government will pay him in disability compensation related to his injury, so he can't make a future budget．He just waits．Thousands of troops are like Lanier: not fully fit to serve but in limbo (⽆着落) for about two years waiting to get discharged under a new system that was supposed to be more efficient than its predecessor．And th delays are not only affecting service members, but the military's readiness as well．New troops can't enlist until others are discharged．The government determines the pay and benefits given to wounded, sick or injured troops for their military service．Under the old system, a medical board would determine their level of military compensation and the service member would be discharged．Then the veteran essentially would have to go through the process again with the Veterans Affairs Department to determine benefits．Under the new system, which started in 2007 and will be completely rolled out at military bases nationwide by the end of September, the service member essentially goes through both disabilityevaluation systems at the same time before leaving the military．But the new, supposedly streamlined, system is still such a cumbersome process that it's leaving many service members in limbo, they say．Why can't Sgt．Lanier serve in the military anymore?A．Because of his injured back．B．Because of his hand．C．Because his vision has worsened．D．Because he has a civilian job．37、 Under the old system, an injured soldier would have to go through the claims process________A．onceB．twiceC．three timesD．more times38、Is the new system better than the old system?A．Yes, it's much better．B．It is a lot more effective．C．It doesn't seem that way．D．No．It' s worse．39、How much will the government pay Sgt．Lanier in disability compensation?A．They won't pay him anything．B．He doesn't know．C．They will pay him about $2,500 per month．D．The government hash' t decided.40、回答40-59题When another old cave is discovered in the south of France, it is not usually news．Rather, it is an ordinary event．Such discoveries are so frequent these days that hardly anybody pays heed to them．However, when the Lascaux cave complex was discovered in 1940,the world was amazed．Painted directly on its walls were hundreds of scenes showing how people lived thousands of years ago．The scenes show people hunting animals, such as bison or wild cats．Other images depict birds and, most noticeably, horses which appear in more than 300 wall images, by far outnumbering all other animals．Early artists drawing these animals accomplished a monumental and difficult task．They did notlimit themselves to the easily accessible walls but carried their painting materials to spaces that required climbing steep walls or crawling into narrow passages in the Lascaux complex．Unfortunately, the paintings have been exposed to the destructive action of water and temperature changes, which easily wear the images away．Because the Lascaux caves have many entrances, air movement has also damaged the images inside．Although they are not out in the open air, where natural light would have destroyed them long ago, many of the images have deteriorated and are barely recognizable．To prevent further damage, the site was closed to tourists in 1963,23 years after it was discovered．Based on the passage, what is probably true about the south of France?A．It is home to rare animals．B．It has a large number of caves．C．It is known for horse-racing events．D．It has attracted many famous artists．41、 According to the passage, which animals appear most often on the cave walls?A．Birds．B．Bison．C．Horses．D．Wild cats．42、Why was painting inside the Lascaux complex a difficult task?A．It was completely dark inside．B．The caves were full of wild animals．C．Painting materials were hard to find．D．Many painting spaces were difficult to reach．43、According to the passage, all of the following h a v e c a u s e d d a m a g e t o t h e p a i n t i n g s E X C E P T _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _。

All of these ran on tracks that led downtown.As our cities grew outward, people living far from the center of town needed a place they could drive to quickly. Driving downtown was difficulty. Finding a parking space downtown was something impossible People also needed a shopping place where they could park easily.To meet the shopping needs of people living in the suburbs, groups of businesses moved farther out, too. Today most suburbs have large shopping centers.Modern and well-planned shopping centers are built on large areas of ground. They have even more space for parking than they do for stores. The shopping centers have many different kinds of stores. Often, the shoppers can do all their shopping in one place.The very large shopping centers have malls which make shopping pleasant. The mall is an areabetween stores set aside for walking. Shoppers can stroll from store to store and enjoy beautiful fountains, statues, and plants. There are benches so that shoppers may rest. Some shopping centers have malls with roofs that protect shoppers from the weather outside.36. The first paragraph tells us that in the pastA) few people drove cars to do shoppingB) it was convenient to do shopping downtownC) people liked to live in downtown areasD) street-cars were the main vehicle within a city37. Why did some businesses move from downtown to the suburbs?A) They needed more space to build modem large stores.B) People did not like to do shopping in city centers.C) Shopping downtown was difficult due to heavy traffic.D) Downtown businesses were not as good as before38. Nowadays people prefer to go shopping in big mails because. Malls ___A) are much closer to their homesB) have much larger walking spaceC) can shelter people from sunshineD) are more pleasant for shoppers.39. The passage is mainly aboutA) changes of people's shopping habitsB) the need for modern shopping centersC) people's life in the center of big citiesD) how to run a business in the suburbs40. We can conclude from the passage thatA) suburban areas are beautiful and pleasant placesB) elevated trains will be built to connect shopping centersC) only city people visit big shopping centersD) suburban people will have more shopping centersTask 2Life insurance isn't fun to buy. It forces you to think about your death. a subject many prefer not to face But there's a single. Important reason to buy life insurance to provide an income for your dependents if you dieDon't depend only on an agent to plan your life-insurance needs. Rough estimates are guesses they may produce too little or too much insurance. Carry too little insurance and you may not provide a reasonable standard of living for your family after your death; carry too much and you may not enjoy a reasonable standard of living while you're alive.Most people who have life insurance don't have enough. The medium amount of coverage for all adults with life insurance was only $15. 000 in 1984. That's obviously not enough to sustain (使持续) a family with young children for very long. Nationwide insurance found that the married men in its 1984 survey carried an average about $43 516 worth insurance but needed some $98507 more.How do you determine the amount of life insurance you would need to maintain your family's current life-style if the bread-winner died? First, calculate what your family's expenses would be if you died tomorrow. Then analyze your assets (财富) and the sources of income thatyou can use to cover the expenses. Finally, subtract (减去) the assets from the needs. The result is the amount of additional two insurance that you'll need to buy.41. The passage intends to tell us that life insuranceA) should be bought by ourselvesB) is important to our lifeC) has a lot of advantagesD) must be carefully calculated42. Why is life insurance not fun to buy?A) Because many people do not like to think of it.B) Because many people do not know how to buy itC) Because it reminds us that we may die one day.D) Because it forces us to take care of our dependents.43. Why can’t we depend on agents to buy insurance for us?A) Because they may charge too much from us.B) Because they may not buy the right amount of insurance for us.C) Because they may not look upon insurance differently from us.45. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A) Most people buy insurance when they are aliveB) Those who buy insurance seldom think of their family.C) Life insurance is usually bought right before one dies.D) People tend to buy less insurance than needed:Task3Directions: Read the following passage and complete the information by filling in the blanks marked 46 through 50 in the table below with no more than 3 words for each blank.Join the Team for a CureThe Arthritis (关节炎) walk is the Arthritis Foundation's nationwide team event that raises funds to fight arthritis, the nation's number one cause of disability (残疾) .

He was glad and stared at it for some time, then wrote “105”on the corner of the trademark with a pencil, meaning he had already drunk 105 bottles of the famous wine. Two days later a stranger came. He offered to pay 5 yuan for the empty Mao Tai bottle. Mr. Chen was pleased and sold it. Several weeks later, his second son brought him another bottle of Mao Tai. While examining and enjoying it, he was suddenly terrified—he found “105”—the very markon it.71.

He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labour through your work you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s tr ue. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues (自言自语as: “Get up, John! You’ll be late for work again!”The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has. You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract (对抗 your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, bu t you’ll get up steam (鼓起干劲 and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get with a leisurely yawl and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the trouble some search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. When ever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.76. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably _______.he is a lazy personhe refuses to follow his own energy cyclehe is not sure when his energy is lowhe is at his peak in the afternoon or evening77. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?A. Unawareness of energy cycles.B. Familiar monologues.C. A change in a family member’s energy cycle.Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family member.78. If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should_____.A. change his energy cycle C. get up earlier than usualB. overcome his laziness D. go to bed earlier79. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will ______.help to keep your energy for the day’s workhelp you to control your temper early in the dayenable you to concentrate on your routine workkeep your energy cycle under control all day80. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one’s energy.Dr. Kleitman explains why people reach their peak at different hours of day.Habit helps a person adapt to his own energy cycle.Children have energy cycles, too.Ⅴ.

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on AnswerSheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.I came to India a year ago to find a village in which I could live and write but it was many months before I settled down happily in this Himalayan community．I wasted a lot of time looking for the typical village．Yet no such thing exists．Conditions vary too widely．But the villages I stayed in had much in common poverty, ignorance．Often the villagers themselves were puzzled suspicious．Why had I come I had put aside my work as a political journalist because my ideas hadchanged．I had come to believe that what was happening in the Third World was more important than anything else．But to understand how three quarters of the world’s people live，and how their future might affect ours．I felt that I first had to try and share their way of life．In the end I chose a mountain village because it was a little cooler than those in the plains．I took the bus from town along a bumpy(崎岖不平的)road，then came a rough walk down a steep path to the river．After this I began the climb into the hills. Whenever I stopped to catch my breath，there was a magnificent view．After several hours’ walk the village came into view．31．After the writer had arrived in IndiaA)he spent a year writing about the place he lived inB)he took quite a long time finding a suitable place to live．C)he spent years looking for a certain village．D) he lived in a Himalayan community for many months．32．While looking for a“village”the writer foundA) he was searching for the impossible．B) all the village were exactly the same．C) the villagers made him feel confused．D) the village asked him a lot of questions．33．Before coming to India the writerA) had been a successful politician．B) had made a decision to do no more work．C) had been dismissed from his job．D) had written articles for publication．34．The writer decided to change his way of life becauseA)he no longer found his work interesting．B)he wanted to live a peaceful life in the countryside．C)he wanted to find out more about the Third World．D) he thought living in a small community would be rewarding.35．The village the writer finally chooses to live inA) was situated at the end of a bumpy road．B) had a letter climate than those in the plains．C) was a short walk from the river．D) had a magnificent view of the river．Passage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 arc based on the following passage．Natural gas began with the plant and animal life of the earth’s prehistoric seas．Dead organisms settled on the ocean floor and were covered by layers of mud，silt(淤泥)，and the layers of mud，silt，and sand were compressed into solid rock．As millions of years passed，these rock layers bucked shifted．and accumulationof gas and oil were displaced and became trapped beneath masses of nonporous rock．Primitive man discovered natural gas quite by accident．The temple fires of Baku on the Caspian Sea(里海)were fired by natural gas seeping(渗漏)from rock fissures(裂缝)，and worshipers(礼拜者，崇拜者)of hire journeyed to Baku from ad afar away as India．The mysterious“burning springs”in North America and elsewhere were also evidence of escaping gas，probably ignited by lighting．The first industrial application of natural gas was made by the Chinese．Gas transported by bamboo pipes was burned to evaporate brine and produce salt．Today there are some twenty—six thousand industrial uses for natural gas，and new uses are constantly being developed．Gas manufactured from coal was first produced early in the seventeenth centuryBecause of its elusive nature, it was called ghost, meaning “ghost”-hence, someday ,our word gas.36．The original material for natural gas were prehistoric .A)plant life B)animal life C)minerals D)both a and b37．The natural forces acting on the material were .A)decay B)heat C)pressure D)all of the above38．Over time，layers covering these materials changed toA)rock B)oil C)mud D)all of the above39．The occurrence of natural gas at Baku was once linked withA)medicine B)religion C)chemistry D)geology40．The probably cause of the “burning springs” is given as ．A)earthquakes B)heat C)lighting D)pressurePassage ThreeQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.Experiments have been carried out on volunteers to see what happens when all sensations are stopped. This can be done in several ways. One method is to put a man inside a completely isolated room. This room is heavily sound-proofed and absolutely dark. There is no light or sound and the person is instructed just to lie motionless on a bed. People have stayed in rooms such as this for as long as four days. The results of sensory deprivation (SD) vary with the individual.Soon after entering the confinement cell most subjects went to sleep and slept almost without interruption for ten to twenty-four hours. These are gross estimates for there was nothing by which the subjects could determine the time which had elapsed. We know for certain that one subject slept for nineteen hours but insisted that he had had a nap of less than one hour. According to the monitoring microphone, which was capable of picking up the deep breathing of sleep, it seems more likely that most subjects slept all of the first twenty-four hours.We felt that so much sleeping in the first day wasted the effects of confinement, so we started placing subjects in SD early in the morning. We reasoned that after a night’s sleep our confined subject would be unable to dissipate the effects of SD by sleeping. Such was notthe case. As far as we could determine they went to sleep just as quickly and slept just as long as the previous subjects. We then started entering the subjects at midmorning, midday, and midafternoon. As it turned out, it made no difference when during the day and, presumably, during the night we started the confinement; the initial sleep period was always about the same.We had not expected this extended period of initial sleep. In fact, it had seemed reasonable to expect something of the opposite. SD was a very novel situation for our subjects, and as such, we reasoned, it should have occupied them for some time. I had a similar expectation for astronauts during space flight and was greatly surprised to learn that the Russian astronaut Yuri Gagarin had been able to sleep during his space flight around the earth.Other effects were also noted. With no real sensations to work on, the brain makes up all sorts of false information. Many people experience vivid dreams and hallucinations. When they are finally taken out of the room into the real changing world of light and sound, they are in a very strange state of mind, ready to believe anything and not nearly able to make decisions.41. This passage is mainly aboutA. how to have a sound sleepB. what causes loss of sensationsC. what will happen if sensations were lostD. how to lose sensations42. What does "subjects" (Para. 3, Line 2,) mean in this passage?A. Any member of a state except the supreme ruler.B. Something to be talked or written about or studied.C. Person, animal or thing to be treated or dealt with.D. Theme on which a composition is based.43. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. All the people react in the same way to sensory deprivation.B. The researchers expected the subjects to sleep for a long time.C. The first reaction to sensory deprivation is to dream.D. Total sensory deprivation means that the brain has no real information to work on.44. We can probably infer from the passage thatA. most astronauts are unable to fall asleep in spaceB. a period of sensory deprivation would make a person hard to controlC. many people are subject to fantasy while in the sensory deprivation cellD. microphones are used to control the breathing of subjects45. All of the following are the results of sensory deprivation except thatA. most subjects fell asleep and slept for a long timeB. some subjects didn’t know how many hours they spent sleepingC. it took a long time for the subjects to adapt themselves to sensory deprivationD. many subjects became credulous right after sensory deprivationIII ClozeDirections: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D) on the paper below. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage.

They were 57 very surprised when, 58 their arrival, they were served drinks with no ice in them at all, they thought that the servants might 59 not yet have had time to 60 the ice that had been sent from the ship, but the party continued, and 61 there was no ice.

Here are some practical ways for you if you want to be a success.1. Desire. Desire is the longing to achieve a vision(美景); without desire you have nothing.Before you can run with desire, your vision must be plain, clear and it must alsobe exciting．2. Show up. Seventy percent of success in life is showing up. You can't have a best seller, if you’ve never written a book. You can’t get your dream job, if you are scared to turn in an application.Showing up doesn't guarantee success, but if you don't show up, you won't succeed．3. Fail. Unless yo u’re willing to have a go, fail miserably,(糟糕地)and have another go, success won’t happen. To have success you have to do things the right way, but often the only way to do something right is to first fail at it. As Thomas J. Watson said, a simple formula (公式) for success is to double your rate of failure．So embrace (拥抱)failure, become a student of failure, learn from failure, and soon you will succeed．4. Work Harder. Everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day. Success is not about doing what the average person can’t do;it’s about doing what the average person is unwilling to do.And on a deeper level, it's about creating habits that the average person is unwilling to cre ate．It's the habit of doing things with excellence that causes success5. Enjoy the Journey. Success is a journey, not a destination. Success is not a certain car or a certain house or a certain happy marriage. Success is the enjoyment of the journey. You have to enjoy the journey!Someone once said, "Unless you change how you are, you will always have what yo u've got．" You have to change.... you will change; you will succeed．36. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in gaining success? [单选题] *A. Working hardB. Good education(正确答案)C. Strong desireD. Enjoying failure37. By saying “everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day”the author means that ____ . [单选题] *A. It’s not so easy for people to develop their healthB. you are sure to meet with some difficulty in your lifeC. working harder is necessary when you go after success(正确答案)D. most people don’t want to spend too much time running38. What does the author mostly want to tell us in the fourth paragraph? [单选题] *A. Failure is the mother of success(正确答案)B. Little by little, one goes farC. Every coin has two sidesD. Well began, half done39. Which of the following statement is TRUE about the passage? [单选题] *A. You can run with desire that is not excitingB. You will always have what you’ve got for everC.

Importance of SuccessB. Success or FailureC. Benefit of SuccessD. The Five Main Steps to Success(正确答案)Passage TwoThe drive from England and Scotland provides the traveler with many pleasant change s of scenery. As it is a fairly long journey, it is good to be able to travel with a friend who can take turns with you at the wheel.On the first night in Scotland a tourist may choose to putup at a hotel in the little town of Gallander. On the following day he can set out to see the various lakes in the neighborhood, and will be delighted with the wild and charming aspect of the countryside. When he returns to his hotel he will be glad to eat a “high tea”. This is a meal which in Scotland takes the place of tea and dinner. It consists of one big c ourse, which one wouldhave at dinner, followed by bread-and-butter, with jam, and some kind of cake or cakes; tea is drunk with the meal, which is taken at about six o’clock in the evening. One then has a light supper later in the evening.The next morning many tourists journey on to the west coast.The road winds and turns, but is not dangerous. The greatest hazard is the black-faced sheep:these animals are as active and fierce as goats, and frequently wander into the road. The t ourist may also see a herd of long haired Highlandcattle, which look cruel but are no more so than ordinary cattle.41. The passage mainly tells you .

In fact,they often live by their own watches,paying no attention to local time .They can even have breakfast at midnight if necessary.Businessmen,however,are not so lucky.After a long journey,they must either go straight to an important meeting or to their boss to give a report.
