He first came to the public’s attention at the Beijing Olympics in xx, where he won three gold medals. During that race, he reached a top speed of 43.9 kmph.

He was running around at primary school, when a teacher noticed (22)______ talent for sprinting（短跑）. He became one of the best sprinters at his high school even though he didn’t train very hard. At the age of fifteen, Bolt was 196 cm tall and he dominated the xx World Junior Championships, being the youngest person ever (23)______ (win) the 200 metres. He turned professional when he left high school, (24)______(age) seventeen. During the first couple of years of Bolt’s professional life, he got a few injuries, but his health soon improved and he began to win all the major championships. He went from strength to strength, (25)______ (amaze) the world with his speed.So, how does he do it? Bolt says that he is naturally fast—just something he was born (26)______. He’s also got a number of people looking after him and one of the main reasons for his success is Norman Peart, his manager. Peart (27)______(look) after Bolt since he was fifteen, working hard to keep him focused.(28)______ you explain it, Bolt’s performances in Beijing were truly marvellous.

At the (30)______ (fast) point in this race, he ran at an astonishing 44.9 kmph.Section BDirections: plete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only beColumbus: Myth and RealityEveryone knows the name of Christopher Columbus, and, as with any historical icon, thereare as many myths as truths about the man. Take, for example, the disagreement about his ___31___. The Spanish say he was from Spain, and the Italians claim he was from Italy. There is, in fact, some ___32___ that he was born in 1451 in Genoa, which is now part of Italy.Columbus became a sailor at an early age and had made journeys as far as Iceland and Guinea before he made his famous voyage in 1482. Contrary to popular ___33___. Columbus didn’t sail to the Americas in order to find out whether the Earth was round: at the end of the 15th century almost everyone knew it was round. We do know that he sailed in part to fulfill a religious quest: he saw journeys as a fulfillment of a divine（神圣的）plan for his life.Of course, the other ___34___ known reason for this voyage was that Columbus was looking for a new route to the Spice Islands (now part of Indonesia), and he believed he could reach them by sailing west rather than east. The discovery of the New World was therefore a(n) ___35___ case of “serendipity”（机缘凑巧）. In 1492, when he unexpectedly discovered the Americas, he had been traveling for five weeks and has sailed for 3,000 miles. He thought he had arrived in the East Indies.Columbus left on the voyage of discovery from the south of Spain, with a(n) ___36___ made up mainly of experienced sailors from the area. He made two ___37___ voyages before the end of the century, taking Europeans across to the new lands. On his third voyage in 1498, he also took women to the New World.This third voyage was not a happy one for Columbus. The settlers ___38___ against him, and he was unable to send a lot of gold back, so he was arrested and returned to Spain in chains. However, the King and Queen soon apologized, saying there had been a mistake, and Columbus was freed. By this time, 1500, Columbus was not a well man and he died quietly at the age of 55 in Valladolid, Spain, on May 20, 1506, in his own apartment ___39___ by family and friends. He was a(n) ___40___ rich man at the time of his death.III. Reading prehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Agree to DisagreeIn a world of 6.5 million opinionated people, arguments are sure to happen. Many people see arguments as an inevitable and negative part of life. Inevitable, yes; ___41___, maybe not. Arguments can often lead to positive change—if you argue ___42___.Arguing “well”“There ___43___ is such a thing as a ‘healthy argument’,” says Marian Donahue, a human relations professional, San Diego. “In a healthy argument, one’s own goal should be to explain the issues in detail, to municate the upset behind the issues, and to really seek to move forward toward a ___44___,” she says. “The minimum goal should be to preserve the relationship well enough to keep ___45___ alive.”What not to doNothing ___46___ a healthy argument like a personal attack, and personal attacks are a big no-no if you want an argument to end positively. Dina Connolly, a graduate student atNorthwestern University, Illinois, says that when professional relationships start amassing（积累）personal baggage, ___47___ arguments are just around the corner.“The structure or wall of professionalism collapses,” Connolly says, “taking down any filters as well. ___48___, after an individual interrupted and then corrected me while making a public speech, I later ended up in an argument where I pletely lost my temper and raised my voice. I was embarrassed, and because my relationship with that person was already so deconstructed and unprofessional, I ___49___ with that person directly and unprofessionally in an unfiltered attack.”Don’t be ___50___ the heatDonahue ___51___ that personal issues must be left at the door—but that doesn’t mean arguments won’t get heated. “Passion and conflict are ___52___ in an argument as long as you keep to the issue,” she says, “Attacking the other person is not useful. That kind of argument closes down the ___53___ on both sides to keep talking.”By actively listening, many arguments can be ___54___ altogether. If you do find yourself in the thick of one, listening with an open mind can bring about a swift ___55___ to the argument and perhaps a positive resolution.41. A. sure B. argumentative C. negative D. changing42. A. confidently B. correctly C. heatedly D. hesitantly43. A. definitely B. barely C. accidentally D. clearly44. A. tendency B. destination C. purpose D. solution45. A. explanation B. munication C. cooperation D. negotiation46. A. kills B. helps C. keeps D. starts47. A. heated B. healthy C. nasty D. fresh48. A. For instance B. In addition C. As a result D. On the other hand49. A. stayed B. fought C. chatted D. argued50. A. keen on B. bored with C. afraid of D. eager for51.

A. tracked B. avoided C. undertook D. grasped55. A. pace B. end C. movement D. decisionSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there 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)Things changed for Ben Southall when the Australian state of Queensland advertised a job for someone to look after Hamilton Island in the Great Barrier Reef. They knew it sounded like the best job in the world, but they were surprised when over 35,000 people applied for the job.Then they had to make a difficult decision—which person to choose from so many candidates? After a lot of testing and interviewing, they announced 34-year-old Ben Southall from England as the winner. Ben now works for the Queensland Tourist Board and his job is to look after the island and to promote tourism there. Because of the unique nature of the job, the Tourist Board wanted a unique person, with a range of skills and qualities. It was a long interview process, involving a variety of tasks to find out about each candidate.Fitness was very important; swimming ability was particularly essential. Ben can swim very well and he also likes running, climbing, diving and mountain biking. It is clear that, physically, he can do almost anything. The ability to municate was as important as fitness. For the last part of the interview process, the final sixteen candidates did various tests and tasks, including talking to TV and radio reporters. The petition was touch and the candidates needed to show what they could do. The interviewers were interested in how the candidates performed in the tasks, how they handled the press attention and their ability to write about their adventures in a daily log. The candidates did their best to impress the interviewers and they knew they couldn’t make any mistakes at this final stage.Before he went, Ben was confident about his abilities to handle the challenge. He couldn’t do everything they asked him in the interview, as he can’t speak any other languages, but he felt that his other skills and his personality were impressive. He made a huge effort during the interview process and he was able to convince the interviewers that he was the best person for the job. Even so, he says he was amazed when he got the job; he couldn’t believe it! He hopes to do a good job and promote the island successfully: he has to get to know every part of the island and tell the world about it in numerous media interviews. When you read Ben’s blogs from his interview tasks, it is easy to see why they chose him. He is funny and easy-going and he will certainly get the attention of any potential tourist to this beautiful place.56. According to the passage, Ben’s job includes all of the following EXCEPT ______.A. knowing Hamilton Island very wellB. going to Hamilton Island once a dayC. being interviewed in different mediaD. drawing travellers’ attention to the island57. During the interview process, the candidates were asked to ______.A. go through a fitness trainingB. take part in various TV showsC. write about their own interviewsD. municate with the press58. Why was Ben chosen for the job?A. He is easy to get along with.B. He kept his personal blog very well.C. He used to be a swimming champion.D. He can several foreign languages.59. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Hamilton Island gets well protectedB. The funniest job in the worldC. Ben gets dream jobD. Tourism in Australia(B)Preview Sections Before You ReadEach chapter consists of three, four, or five sections. These sections focus on shorter periods of time or on particular historical themes. Use the section openers to help you prepare to read.①Study the sentences under the headings Main Idea and Why it Matters Now. These tell you what’s important in the material that you’re about to read.②Preview the Terms & Names list. This will give you an idea of the issues and personalities you’ll encounter in the section.③Read One American’s Story and A Personal Voice within it. These provide one individual’s view of an important issue of the time.④Notice the structure of the section. Blue heads label the major topics; red subheads signal smaller topics within a major topic. Together, these heads give you a quick outline of the section.60. The passage is most probably found in ______.A. a magazineB. a newspaperC. a textbookD. a guidebook61. In which section is a reader most likely to find what a person thinks of a historical event?A. Main IdeaB. Why It Matters NowC. Terms & NamesD. One American’s Story62. Heads are presented in different colours in order to ______.A. gives readers a whole picture of the sectionB. help readers find different kinds of topicsC. attract readers’ attention, especially young readersD. get readers to identify most important points(C)In 1851, Auguste te, the French philosopher and father of sociology, coined the new word altruism as part of a drive to create a non-religious religion based on scientific principles. He defined it as “intentional action for the welfare of others that involves at least the possibility of either no benefit or a loss to the actor”. At th at time, studies of animal behavior and phrenology （颅相学）led him to locate egotistical（自我本位的）instincts at the back of the brain, altruistic ones at the front.Today, we have a far more sophisticated knowledge of the neurological（神经学的）and biochemical factors that underpin kind behavior. And this science forms the bases of two books aimed at general readers—but also at those who, despite the research, still doubt the existence of altruism.However, the books may end up providing more information for those who are doubtful. Take The Altruistic Brain by neuroscientist Donald Pfaff. On solid scientific ground, he builds a five-step theory of how altruism occurs, which depends on an idea that is unconvincing and may achieve the opposite result. Pfaff argues that to act altruistically you should first visualize the receiver of your good will, then mentally transform their image into your own, “from angle to angle and curve to curve”. Does it really work?At the core of evolutionary biologist David Sloan Wilson’s Does Altruism Exist? is another contentious（有争议的）idea: altruism has evolved as the result of group selection. But Wilson argues his corner masterfully, providing a clever reply to the belief that natural selection occurs only at the level of the selfish gene: “Selfishness beats altruism within groups. Altruistic groups beat selfish groups,” he says.In other words, we cooperate when doing so gives our team the advantage. That doesn’t sound very selfless either.Wilson acknowledges this, but argues that thoughts and feelings are less important than actions. According to evolutionary theory, pure altruists do exist, but it doesn’t matter why people choose to help others—their reasons may be difficult even for themselves to understand. What matters is that humans can coordinate their activities in just the right way to achieve mon goals. Other animals do this too, but we are masters. “Teamwork is the signature adaptation of our species,” he says.Pfaff goes further, insisting that our brain biology “urges us to be kind”. He believes this knowledge alone will inspire individuals to be more altruistic. His desire to create a better world is admirable and some of his ideas are interesting, but Wilson’s analysis is clearer.While it is in our nature to be altruistic, Wilson says, we also have a healthy regard for self-interest and a resistance to being pushed around. Which one es to the fore depends on the environment in which we find ourselves. Ethics, he says, cannot be taught at individual level, but are “a property of the whole system”.63. Which of the following can be considered an altruistic behaviour according to te’s definition?A. A person offers to donate his liver to another who needs one.B. A clerk returns the umbrella to his colleague which he has kept for a long time.C. A student volunteers to wok in the orphanage to collect data for his research.D. A police officer spots a car parking in the no-parking area, finding a child in the trunk.64. What does Donald Pfaff think people should do in order to behave altruistically?A. Draw a picture of the person they are going to help.B. Transform the receiver into a kind person.C. Visualize what they are going to do in mind first.D. Imagine they themselves are to be helped.65. Which of the following statements is David Sloan most likely to agree with in his book?A. Being kind is not something people are born with.B. People in groups are less likely to be selfish.C. People may well act selflessly because of where they are.D. Most people know clearly why they are ready to help others.66. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Figuring out what makes us behave selflessly is a tricky business.B. Unlike Donald Pfaff’s book, David Sloan’s book aims at professional readers.C. te’s def inition of altruism proves to be impractical in modern times.D. Both Donald Pfaff and David Sloan lay emphasis on team work.Section CDirections: plete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.I owe it all to my munity collegeIn 1974, I graduated from Skyline High School in Oakland, California, an underachieving student with poor SAT scores. I couldn’t afford tuition for college anyway. ___67___.For thousands of muting students like me, Chabot was our Harvard, offering course in physics, stenography, automechanics, certified public accounting, foreign language, journalism and so on. Classmates included veterans（老兵）back from Vietnam, married women returning to school, middle-aged men wanting to improve their employment prospects and paychecks. We could get our general education requirements out of the way at Chabot—credits we could transfer to a university—which made those two years an invaluable head start.Classes I took at Chabot have rippled（起涟漪）through my professional pond. I produced the HBO mini-series John Adams with an outline format I learned from a pipe-smoking historian, James Coovelis, whose lectures were interesting. Mary Lou Fitzg erald’s “Studies in Shakespeare” taught me how the five-act structures of Richard III, The Tempest, and Othello focused their themes.In Herb Kennedy’s “Drama in Performance,” I read plays like The Hot L Baltimore and Desire Under the Elms, then saw their productions. I got to see the plays he taught, throughstudent rush tickets at the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco and the Berkeley Repertory Theatre. ___68___. I got an A. Some hours I stayed in the huge library, where I first read the New York Times, frustrated by its lack of ics.If Chabot’s library still has its collection of vinyl records（黑胶唱片）, you will find my name repeatedly on the takeout slip of Jason Robards’s performance of the monologue of Eugene O’Neill. ___69___.Chabot College is still in Hayward, though Mr. Coovelis, Ms. Fitzgerald, and Mr. Kennedy are no longer there. I drove past the campus a few years ago with one of my kids and summed up my two years there this way:”___70___”A. I listened to it 20 times at least.B. That place made me what I am today.C. munity colleges have improved a lot these years.D. Those plays filled my head with expanded dreams.E. Of course, I enjoyed the pleasure of eating French fries between classes.F. So I sent my test results to Chabot, a munity college in nearby Hayward, California, which accepted everyone and was free.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Learn from mistakesThe best way to learn something is to make mistakes first. Thomas Edison, who invented the light bulb, told his colleagues:” Of the 200 light bulbs that didn’t work, every failure told me something I was able to incor porate into the next attempt.” Benjamin Franklin, the US statesman and scientist once said: “ I haven’t failed. I have had 10,000 ideas that didn’t work.”Both these people understood that failures and false starts are the condition of success. In fact, a surprising number of everyday objects had their beginnings in a mistake or a misunderstanding. Post-it-notes, packets of crisps and even bread are all unexpected inventions. In 2600 BC, a tired Egyptian slave invented bread when the dough rose during his sleep . And crips were first cooked by a chief in the USA when a customer plained that his fried potatoes were not thin enough.In 1958 Spencer Silver was trying to develop a strong adhesive when he accidentally invented a very weak glue instead. His colleague, Art Fry , decided to use it six years later, in 1974, to hold his bookmarks in his books and the post-it note was invented.Successful businesspeople have often made big , expensive mistakes in their past. When an employee of IBM made a mistake that cost the pany $600,000, Thomos Watson, the chairman, was asked if he would fire the man.” “ Of course not,” he replied. “ I have just spent $600,000 training him. I am not going to let another pany benefit from experience.”The important thing to remember is that you need to learn from your mistakes. If you don’t ,then there is no sense in making them.”V.

So the70 (add) value of test scores in predicting performance is minimal.If a college wants to do a better job serving traditionally under-served populations, test optional policies can provide a very useful tool. 第二节(共10小题，每小题1.5分，满分15分)61.
