AA good book is indeed the best friend of a person. The same goes for high-profile CEOs of world recognized compa nies as well. Let‟s have a look at the favorite books of some of the world-famous CEOs of the globe.Apple CEO --- Tim Cook, Competing Against Time by George Stalk Jr. and Thomas M. HoutThis book is based on 10 years of valuable research done by the authors. It talks about how new concepts of managing time in new product development, production and sales and distribution provide companies with the edge to succeed in this highly competitive world.Microsoft CEO(Former)--- Bill Gates, The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. SalingerA few themes explored in the novel are rebellion(叛逆), anxiety and confusion. It admits that young people are a little confused, but can be smart about things and see things that adults don‟t really see. Gates said, “I didn‟t actually read the Catcher in the Rye until I was 13, and ever since then I‟ve said that‟s my favorite book.”Oracle CEO--- Larry Ellison, Napoleon by Vincent CroninThis book is considered by far the best biography ever written on the great general, Napoleon Bonaparte. Ellison said, “it‟s interesting to read about him for a couple of reasons: to see what one man of indifferent birth can do with his life, and to see how history can distort(歪曲) the truth entirely.”OWE CEO--- Oprah Winfrey, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper LeeThis book talks about how a little girl observes the people around her. Winfrey said, “I read it in eighth or ninth grade, and I was trying to persuade other kids to read the book. So it makes sense to me that now I havea book club, because I have been doing that probably since I read this book.”21. What is the theme of Competing Against Time?A. How to increase production.B. How to raise efficiency.C. How to enrich experience.D. How to save energy.22. Which may be chosen by parents to learn about kids disobeying rules?A. Competing Against TimeB. The Catcher in the RyeC. NapoleonD.To Kill a Mockingbird23. Who enjoys reading the life story of a great person?A. Tim CookB. Bill GatesC. Larry EllisonD. Oprah Winfrey24. what can be inferred from Winfrey‟s words?A. She loved reading when young.B. She read the book with other kids.C. The book has an influence on her career.D. T he book is about a girl‟s th oughts.BOne day when I was 5, my mother criticized me for not finishing my rice and I got angry. I wanted to play outside and not to be made to finish eating my old rice. In my angry motion to open the screen door with my foot, I had kicked back about a 12-inch part of the lower left hand corner of the new screen door. But I had no regret, for I was happy to be playing in the backyard with my toys.Today, l know if my child had done what I did, I would have criticized my child, and told him about how expensive this new screen door was, and I would have delivered a spanking(打屁股) for it. They never said a word. They left the corner of the screen door pushed out, creating an opening, a crack in the defense against unwanted insects.For years, every time I saw that corner of the screen, it would remind me of my mistake from time to time. For years, I knew that everyone in my family would see that hold and remember who did it. For years, every time I saw a fly buzzing in the kitchen, I would wonder if it came in through the hole that I had created with my angry foot. I would wonder If my family members were thinking the same thing, silently blaming me every time a flying insect entered our home, making life more terrible for us all. My parents taught me a valuable lesson, one that a spanking or stern(严厉的)words perhaps could not deliver. Their silent punishment for what I had done delivered a hundred stern massages to me. Above all, it has helped me become a more patient person and not burst out so easily.25. When the author damaged the door, his parents _________________.A. scolded him for what he had doneB. left the door unrepairedC. told him how expensive it wasD. gave him a spanking26. How did the author feel every time he saw the damaged door?A. He felt ashamed of his uncontrolled anger at that time.B. He found that his family members no longer liked him.C. He felt it destroyed the happy atmosphere at his home.D. He felt he had to work hard to make up for the damage.27. The experience may cause the author_________________.A. to hide his anger away from othersB. not to go against his parents‟ willC. to have a better control of himselfD. not to make mistakes in the future28. what of the following is the main idea of this passage?A. Adults should ignore their children‟s bad behavior.B. Parents are the best teachers of their children.C. What is the best way to become a more patient person?D. Silent punishment may have a better effect on educating people.COlaf Stapledon wrote a book called First and Last Men, in which he looked millions of years ahead. He told of different men and of strange civilizations(文明), broken up by long …dark ages‟ in between. In his view, what is called the present time is no more than a moment in human history and we are just the First Men. In 2,000 million years from now there will be the Eighteenth or Last Men.However, most of our ideas about the future are really very short-sighted. Perhaps we can see some possibilities for the next fifty years. But the next hundred? The next thousand? The next mill ion? That‟s much more difficult.When men and women lived by hunting 50,000 years ago, how could they even begin to picture modern life? Yet to men of 50,000 years from now, we may seem as primitive(原始的)in our ideas as the Stone-Age hunters do to us. Perhaps they will spend their days gollocking to make new spundels，or struggling with their ballalators through the cribe. These words, which I have just made up, have to stand for things and ideas that we simply can‟t think of.So why bother even to try imagining life far in the future? Here are two reasons. First unless we remember how short our own lives are compared with the whole human history, we are likely to think our own interests are much more important than they really are. If we make the earth a poor place to live because we are careless or greedy(贪婪) or quarrelsome, our grand-children will not bother to think of excuses for us.Second, by trying to escape from present interests and imagine life far in the future, we may arrive at quite fresh ideas that we can use ourselves. For example, if we imagine that in the future men may give up farming, we can think of trying it now. So set your imagination free when you think about the future.29. A particular mention made of Stapledon‟s book in the opening paragraph ____________.A. serves as a description of human historyB. shows the popularity of the bookC. shows a disagreement of viewsD. serves an introduction to the discussion30. The text discusses men and women 50,000 years ago and 50,000 years from now in order to show that _________.A. human history is extremely longB. life has changed a great dealC. it is difficult to tell what will happen in the futureD. it is useless to plan for the next 50 years31. Spundels and ballalators are used in the text to refer to _________.A. tools used in farmingB. unknown things in the futureC. ideas about modern lifeD. hunting skills in the Stone Age32.According to the writer of the text, imagining the future will _________.A. make life worth livingB. enable us to better understand human historyC. help us to improve farmingD. serve the interests of the present and future generationsDBeing able to multitask—doing several things at the same time—is considered a welcome skill by most people. But if we consider the situation of the young people aged from eight to eighteen, we should think again.What we often see nowadays is that young people juggle an ever larger number of electronic devices(电子产品)as they study. While working, they also surf on the Internet, send out emails, answer the telephone and listen to music on their iPods. In a sense, they are spending a significant amount of time in fruitless efforts as they multitask. Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members. With electronic devices around them, they can no longer greet family members when they enter the house, nor canthey chat at the family table.Multitasking also affects young people‟s p erformance at university and in the workplace. When asked about their opinion of the effect of modern gadgets(器具)on their performance of tasks, many young people gave a positive response. However, the response from the worlds of education and business was not quite as positive. Educators feel that multitasking by children has a serious effect on later development of study skills. They believe that many college students now need help to improve their study skills. Similarly, employers feel that young people entering the job market need to be taught all over again, as modern gadgets have made it unnecessary for them to learn special skills to do their work.33. What does the underlined word “juggle” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?A. Want to buyB. Seek for information fromC. Take the place ofD. Use at the same time34. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Young people must learn skills for future jobs.B. Multitasking is an important skill to young people.C. Young people benefit a lot from modern gadgets.D. Multitasking influences young people‟s development seriously.35. Which of the following is true according to this passage?A. People from the world of education believe multitasking has a good effect on children‟s later studyskills.B. Employers consider it unnecessary for young people to be taught all over again.C. Educators feel th at young people don‟t need to improve their study skills.D. Most people think multitasking is good for their study and work.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。
