He dreamed, in the American way, of becoming a millionaire. He tried his luck on Wall Street. He was diligent and shrewd and, when he had to be, devious. He put together the deal and he did some things with an electronics acquisition that wouldn‘t bear explaining. He succeeded even beyond his dream: he made twelve million dollars.2) At first the young man assumed that e verything was working out splendidly. ―Isn‘t it grand?‖ he said to his wife, once it was apparent that he had made twelve million dollars. His wife told him that it wasn‘t grand, and he was a nobody.3) ―But that‘s impossible,‖ the young man said. ―I‘m a r ich person. We live in an era that celebrates rich people. Rich people are shown in the newspapers in the company of movie stars and famous novelists and distinguished dress designers. The names of the richest corporate raiders are known to every schoolboy. There are rich real estate sharks whose faces appear on the covers of glossy magazines.‖ But his wife said that his face would not, because he was a nobody. When he stressed the fact that he had twelve million dollars, his wife retorted that a lot of people did, but they were still nobodies. 4) ―I could buy our way onto the committees of important charity balls,‖ the young man said, ―then we‘d be mentioned in the columns.‖ ―Don‘t kid yourself,‖ his wife said. ―The important committees are already filled u p with people who are really rich. People like us would end up working on something like a dinner-dance to benefit the American Psoriasis (牛皮癣) Foundation.‖ The young man mentioned that he owned a co-op apartment on Fifth Avenue that was worth two million dollars. His wife argued that, to a certain extent, two million-dollar co-ops were a dime a dozen. Then the young man boasted of owning a stretch limousine and said it was twenty-one and a half feet long.His wife brushed the idea aside, saying that nobody famous had ever ridden in something like that ,and neither Henry Kissinger nor Calvin Klein had ever heard of him, so he was still a nobody.5) The young man was silent for a while. ―Are you disappointed in me?‖ he finally said to his wife. ―Of course I‘m disappointed in you,‖ she said. ―When you asked me to marry you , you said you would surely amount to something. How was I to know that yo u‘d turn out to be a nobody?‖6) For a moment the young man looked defeated. Then he squared his shoulders and cleared his throat. ―I‘ll make them pay attention, ‖ he said. ―I‘ll buy a professional football team and argue a lot with the coach in public. Celebrities will join me to watch big games from the owner‘s box.‖ The wife ridiculed him, saying that nobody could buy a professional football team for twelve million dollars, because professional football teams cost big bucks.7) ―Then I‘ll buy a magazine and appoint myself chief columnist,‖ the young man said. ―A tiny but exceedingly flattering picture of me will run next to my column every week. The owners of professional football teams will invite me to watch big games from the owner‘s box.‖ The wife bel ieved that he might be able to buy one of those weekly-shoppers throwaways for twelve million dollars, but not a real magazine. One couldn‘t buy a real magazine for chicken feed.8) The young man was very much hurt and asked his wife whether twelve million dollars were chicken feed. But his wife insisted, ―it‘s not big bucks.‖9) ―But that‘s not fair,‖ the young man said. ―I‘m a young man of humble origins who made twelve million dollars. I succeeded even beyond my dream. ‖ ―Some of those things you did wi th the electronics acquisition probably weren‘t fair either,‖ his wife said. ―Fair isn‘t being measured these days. What they measure is money.‖ Then the young man said, if that was the case, he would get more money by going back to Wall Street and making fifty million dollars.10) But before the young man could make fifty million dollars a man from the Securities and Exchange Commission came and arrested him for having committed insider-trading violations in the electronics acquisition.11) The young man was taken away from his office in handcuffs. A picture on the front page of the afternoon paper showed him leaving his arraignment trying to hide his face behind an $850 Italian overcoat. A long article in the morning paper used him as an example of a new breed of Wall Street traders who were the victims of their own greed, probably because of their humble origins. His friends and associates avoided him. 12) Only his wife stuck by him. She tried to see the bright side. ―For someone with only twelve million d ollars,‖ she said to the young man, ―you‘re getting to be pretty well known.‖Ⅳ. There are 10 statements, followed by four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and mark the corresponding letter on your answer sheet.(10 points, 1 point each)55.He tried his luck on Wall Street.A. He became lucky in the financial world.B.

2013年10月高等教育自学考试《高级英语》试题课程代码：00600I. The following paragraphs are taken from the textbooks, followed by a list of words or expressions marked A to Y. Choose the one that best completes each of the sentences and write the corresponding letter on your Answer Sheet. One word or expression for each blank only. (25 points, 1 point for each)The child was fairly eating me up with her cold, steady eyes, and no expression on her face whatever. She did not move and seemed, inwardly, 1 ; an unusually attractive little thing, and as strong as a heifer in 2 . But her face was flushed, she was breathing. 3 , and I realized that she had a high fever. She had magnificent 4 hair, in profusion. One of those picture children often reproduced in 5 leaflets and the photogravure sections of the Sunday papers.It is still women--about three million volunteers--who do most of this work in the American political world. The best any of 6 can hope for is the honor of being district or county vice-chairman, a kind of separate-but-equal position with which a woman is 7 for years of faithful envelope stuffing and card-party 8 . In such a job, she gets a number of free trips to state and 9 national meetings and conventions, where her 10 is supposed to be to vote the way her male chairman votes.The value of art-snobbery to living artists is considerable. True, most art-snobs 11 only the works of the dead; for an Old Master is both a 12 investment and a holier culture-symbol than a 13 master. But some art-snobs are also modernity-snobs.

He looked like the sort of young man who might kill a president.(2) He was glaring because we had passed him and for that offensive action he pursued us to the nextstoplight so as to express his indignation and affirm his masculinity. I was with two women and was afraid for all three of us. It was nearly midnight and we were in a small, sleeping town with no other cars on the road.(3) When the light turned green I raced ahead. He didn't merely follow, he chased, and with hisheadlights turned off. No matter what sudden turn I took, he followed. My passengers were silent. I knew they were alarmed, and I prayed that I wouldn't be called upon to protect them. In that cheerful frame of mind, I turned off my own lights so I couldn't be followed. It was madness. I was responding to a crazy as a crazy.(4) "I'11 just drive to the police station," I finally said, and as if those were the magic words, hedisappeared.(5) It seems to me that there has recently been an epidemic of auto macho a competition perceived andexpressed in driving. People fight it out over parking spaces. A toll booth becomes a signal for elbowing fenders. And beetle-eyed drivers hunch over their steering wheels, squeezing the rims, glowering, preparing the excuse of not having seen you as they muscle you off the road.Approaching a highway on an entrance ramp recently, I was strong-armed by a trailer truck so immense that its driver all but blew me away by blasting his horn. The behemoth was just inches from my hopelessly mismatched vehicle when I fled for the safety of the shoulder.(6) The odd thing is that long before I was even able to drive, it seemed to me that people were at theirfinest and most civilized when in their cars. They seemed so orderly and considerate, so reasonable, staying in the right-hand lane unless passing, signaling all intentions. In those days you really eased into highway traffic, and the long, neat rows of cars seemed mobile testimony to the sanity of most people. Perhaps memory fails, perhaps there were always testy drivers, perhaps--but everyone didn't give you the finger.(7) A most amazing example of driver rage occurred recently in Manhattan. We were four cars abreast,stopped at a traffic light. And there was no moving even when the light had changed. A bus had stopped in the cross traffic, blocking our paths: it was normal-for-New-York-City gridlock. Perhaps impatient, perhaps late for important appointments, three of us nonetheless accepted what, after all, we could not alter. One, however, would not. He would not be helpless. He would go where he was going even if he couldn't get there. He got out of his car and strode toward the bus, rapping smartly on its doors. When they opened, he exchanged words with the driver. The doors folded shut. He then stepped in front of the bus, took hold of one of its large windshield wipers and broke it.(8) The bus doors reopened and the driver appeared, apparently giving the fellow a good piece of hismind. If so, the lecture was wasted, for the man started his car and drove directly into the bus. He rammed it. Even though the point at which he struck the bus, the folding doors, was its most vulnerable point, ramming the side of a bus with your car has to rank very high on a futility index.My first thought was that it had to be a rental car.(9) To tell the truth, I could not believe my eyes. The bus driver opened his doors as much as they couldbe opened and he stepped directly onto the hood of the attacking car, jumping up and down with both his feet. He then retreated into the bus, closing the doors behind him. Obviously a man of action, the car driver backed up and rammed the bus again.(10) It is tempting to blame such aggressive, uncivil and even neurotic behavior, but in our cars we allbecome a little crazy. How many of us speed up when a driver signals his intention of pulling in front of us? Are we resentful and anxious to pass him? How many of us try to squeeze in, or race along the shoulder at a lane merger?(11) What is it within us that gives birth to such antisocial behavior and why, all of a sudden, have somany drivers gone around the bend? My friend, a Manhattan psychiatrist, calls it "a Rambo pattern.People are running around thinking the American way is to take the law into your own hands when anyone does anything wrong. And what constitutes 'wrong'? Anything that cramps your style." (12) It seems to me that it is a new America we see on the road now. It has the mentality of a hoodlumand the backbone of a coward. The car is its weapon and hiding place, and it is still a symbol even in this. Road Rambos no longer represent a self-reliant, civil people tooling around in family cruisers. In fact, there aren't families in these machines that charge headlong with their brights on in broad daylight, demanding we get out of their way. Bullies are loners, and they have perverted our liberty of the open road into drivers' license. They represent an America that deridesthe values of decency and good manners, then roam the highways riding shotgun and shrieking freedom. By allowing this to happen, the rest of us approve.III.

We were asked to “37 a disability”for several hours one Sunday. Some members, 38, chose to use wheelchairs.
