第一篇 How to Be a Successful BusinesspersonHave you ever wondered why some people are successful in business and others are not?Here’s a story about one successful businessperson. He started out washing dishes and todayhe owns 168 restaurants.Zubair Kazi was born in Bhatkal, a small town in southwest India. His dream was to be anairplane pilot, and when he was 16 years old, he learned to fly a small plane.At the age of 23 and with just a little money in his pocket, Mr. Kazi moved to the United States.He hoped to get a job in the airplane industry in California. Instead, he ended up working for acompany that rented cars.While Mr. Kazi was working at the car rental(租赁的)company, he frequently ate at a nearbyKFC restaurant. To save money on food, he decided to get a job with KFC. For two months, heworked as a cook’s assistant. His job was to c lean the kitchen and help the cook. “I didn’t likeit,” Mr. Kazi says, “but I always did the best I could.”One day, Mr. Kazi’s two coworkers failed to come to work. That day, Mr. Kazi did the work of allthree people in the kitchen. This really impressed the owners of the restaurant. A few monthslater, the owners needed a manager for a new restaurant. They gave the job to Mr. Kazi. Heworked hard as the manager and soon the restaurant was making a profit.A few years later, Mr. Kazi heard about a restaurant that waslosing money. The restaurant wasdirty inside and the food was terrible. Mr. Kazi borrowed money from a bank and bought therestaurant. For the first six months, Mr. Kazi worked in the restaurant from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.seven days a week. He and his wife cleaned up the restaurant, remodeled the front of thebuilding, and improved the cooking. They also tried hard to please the customers. If someonehad to wait more than ten minutes for their food, Mrs. Kazi gave them a free soda. Before longthe restaurant was making a profit.A year later, Mr. Kazi sold his restaurant for a profit. With the money he eared, he bought threemore restaurants that were losing money. Again, he cleaned them up, improved the food, andretrained the employees. Before long these restaurants were making a profit, too.Today Mr. Kazi owns 168 restaurants, but he isn’t planning to stop there. He’s looking for morepoorly managed restaurants to buy, “I love it when I go to buy a restaurant and find it’s amess,” Mr. Kazi says. “The only way it can go is up.”31.When Mr. Kazi was young, his dream was toA.be an airplane pilot.B.sell cars.C.own a restaurant.D.become a good cook.32.Mr. Kazi decided to work with KFC toA.learn how to cook.B.save money for a car.C.save money on food.D.learn how to run a restaurant.33.Mr. Kazi became the manager of a new restaurant becauseA.he worked very hard.B.his co-workers praised him.C.he was a good cook.D.he knew how to run a restaurant.34.To save a failing restaurant, Mr. Kazi did all the following things, EXCEPT toA.advertise for it.B.clean it up.C.improve the food.D.retrain the employees.35.In the last paragraph, “it’s a mess” meansA.it’s small.B.it’s profitable.C.it’s dirty.D.it’s cheap.第二篇:Three Ways to Become More CreativeMo st people believe they don’t have much imagination. They are wrong. Everyone hasimagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to access it. Creativity isn’talways connected with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free timeroutinely think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a trickyquestion to answer or you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to helpyou.This technique involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to find links between them. First,think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image,word, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the ideas/words associated withcandles: light, fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The nextstage is to relate the ideas to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy afriend anoriginal present; you could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for the night.Imagine that normal limitatio ns don’t exist. You have as much time/space/money, etc. as youwant. Think about your goal and the new possibilities. If, for example, your goal is to learn toski(滑雪), you can now practice skiing every day of your life (because you have the time andthe money). Now adapt this to reality. Maybe you can practice skiing every day in December, orevery Monday in January.Look at the situation from a different point of view. Good negotiators(谈判者) use thistechnique in business, and so do writers. Fiction writers often imagine they are the charactersin their books. They ask questions: what does this character want? Why can’t she get it? Whatchanges must she make to get what she wants? What does she dream about? If your goalinvolves other people, put yourself “in their shoes”. The best fishermen think like fish!36.According to the passage, when we become adults.A.most of us are no longer creative.B.we are not as imaginative as children.C.we can still learn to be more creative.D.we are unwilling to be creative.37.According to the first technique, if you need to solve a problem, ______A.you should link it with candles.B.you have to think of buying a present for a friend.C.you should link it with as many words as possible.D.you could find an image and try to link it with the problem.38.The second technique suggests that you just imagineA.setting a goal is as simple as skiing.B.you have every resource to achieve your goal.C.new possibilities will soon appear.D.December and January are the best months for skiing.39.The phrase “put yourself ‘in their shoes’” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning toA.dress yourself like them.B.do as they ask you to.C.put on their shoes.D.think as they would.40.We learn from the third technique that a good salesman should ask himself:A.what are my customers’ needs?B.what do I usually do?C.what did my boss tell me to do?D.how should I sell my products?第三篇 The State of Marriage TodayIs there something seriously wrong with marriage today? During the past 50 years, the rate ofdivorce in the United States has exploded: almost 50% of marriages end in divorce now, andthe evidence suggests it is going to get worse. If this trend continues, it will lead to thebreakup of the family, according to a spokesperson for the National Family Association. Somefuturists predict that in 100 years, the average American will marry at least four times ,andextramarital(婚外的)affairs will be even more common than they are now.But what are the reasons for this, and is the picture really so gloomy(阴暗的)? The answer tothe first question is really quite simple: marriage is no longer the necessity it once was. Theinstitution of marriage has been based for years partly on economic need. Women used to beeconomically dependent ontheir husbands as they usua lly didn’t have jobs outside the home.But with the rising number of women in well-paying jobs, this is no longer the case, so theydon’t feel that they need to stay in a failing marriage.In answer to the second question, the outlook may not be as pessimistic(悲观的)as it seems.While the rate of divorce has risen, the rate of couples marrying has never actually fallen verymuch, so marriage is still quite popular. In addition to this, many couples now simply livetogether and don’t bother to marry. These couples are effectively married, but they do notappear in either the marriage or divorce statistics. In fact, more than 50% of first marriagessurvive.So is marriage really an outdated institution? The fact that most people still get marriedindicates that it isn’t. And it is also true that married couples have a healthier life than singlepeople: they suffer less from stress and its consequences, such as heart problems, andmarried men generally consider themselves more contented than their single counterparts.Perhaps the key is to find out what makes a successful marriage and apply it to all of ourrelationships!41.Which of the following is true about the marriage in the United States today?A.Divorce leads to the breakup of the family.B.More than half of the married couples get divorced.C.American people marry more than four times.D.More and more people are getting divorced.42.What does “this is no longer the case” in paragraph 2 mean?A.Women are not economically dependent any more.B.It is not necessary to get married any more.C.Women do not need a husband any longer.D.Many wives do well-paying jobs outside home now.43.Why is the outlook of marriage not as hopeless as it appears?A.Many people still like to get married.B.The rate of divorce has actually decreased.C.Over 60% of the marriages continue to exist.D.The statistics of divorce is reliable.44.How do most men feel in their marriage life?A.They feel much stronger than before.B.They don’t feel as lonely as before.C.They suffer more than before.D.They feel more satisfied than being single.45.Which of the following about marriage is NOT mentioned in the passage?A.It is important to discover what makes a marriage successful.B.Marriage has long been partly an economic need.C.It is a fact that most people choose to get married.D.Many people went abroad after divorce.第5部分:补全短文(第46~50题,每题2分,共10分)下面的短文有5处空白,短文后有6个句子,其中5个取自短文,请根据短文内容将其分别放回原有位置,以恢复文章面貌。

1.A new system of quality control was brought in to overcome the defects in the firm’s products.A.investedB.introducedC.installedD.insisted正确答案:B解析:借助划线短语核心词(bring)的基本含义“带来,引起”,并借助与划线结构相直接相关的结构含义“质量控制系统被……”判断B(引进)是答案。
该句含义是“将引进一种新的质量控制系统以克服公司产品出现的缺陷。
”invest “(常与in连用)投入(资金、精力、时间等)”;insist“(常与on,that连用)主张;坚持,坚持要求(宾语从句跟虚拟语气结构)”。
2.The old concerns lose importance and some of them vanish altogether.A.developB.disappearC.linkD.renew正确答案:B解析:and的使用表明前后两个结构是在语法结构对称,且含义上色彩一致,这样排除A(“发展”和“失去重要性”在词义色彩上相反)和D(renew=re +new “re”表示“再次”),所以可推出renew是“更新”。
借助句意判断disappear(消失)是答案。
该句含义是“旧的公司失去了它们的重要性,而其中的一些公司完全消失了。
”link“(常与together, to,with连用)连接”。
3.There is always excitement at the Olympic Games when an athlete breaks a previous record of performance.A.beatsB.matchesC.maintainsD.announces正确答案:A解析:break有多种含义,即“打破,违犯,折断,超过”,而选项中只有A 有“打”的含义,所以判断beat是答案。

第一篇Storms Sink Ships
Rescuers have found the bodies of over 130 people killed in two ferry disasters in Bangladesh.The accidents happened during a storm that hit the country on April 21.Hundreds more are missing or feared dead.
The two ferries sank in different rivers near the capital city of Dhaka as strong winds and rain hit the South Asian country. The government has since banned a11 ferries and other boats from travelling at night during the April-May stormy season.
One of the ferries, MV Mitali,was carrying far more people than it was supposed to.About 400 passengers fitted into a space made for just 300,police said The second ferry carried about 100 passengers.“The number of deaths is certain to rise,”said an official in charge of the rescue work.“No one really knows how many people were on board the ferry or how many of them survived.” Ferries in Ba ngladesh don’t always keep passenger lists,making it difficult to determine the exact number of people on board. Besides the ferry accidents,at least 40 people were killed and 400 injured by lightning strikes, falling houses and trees and the sinking of small boats.Storms are common this time of year in Bangladesh, as are boating accidents.Ferry disasters take away hundreds of lives every year in a nation of 130 million people.Officials blame these river accidents on a lack of safety measures, too many passengers in boats and not enough checks on weather conditions. Ferries are a common means of transport in Bangladesh.It is a country covered by about 230
rivers.Some 20,000 ferries use the nation’s waterways(水路)every year.And many of them are dangerously overcrowded(过度拥挤).Since1977, more than 3,000 people have died in some 260 boating accidents.
31 How many people have been found dead in the two ferry disasters?
A More than 130
B Over 3,000
C About400
D At least 40
32 The two ferry disasters occurred
A at noon
B in the morning
C at night
D in the afternoon
33 How many passengers was MV Mitali designed to carry?
A 440
B 100
C 400
D 300
34 Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a cause of the boating accidents?
A Strong winds
B Bad weather conditions
C Blockage of waterways
D Lack of safety measures
35 Which of the following statements is NOT true of the two ferry disasters?
A They traveled during the April-May stormy season
B They sank on April 21
C The exact number of deaths could be easily determined
D They sank somewhere near Dhaka。
