There are only a few men in all of the history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never be happy only because someone said he was a genius. “There is no such thing as genius,” Edison said. He said that what people called genius was mostly hard work. But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature. Nature, he often said, is full of secrets. He tried to understand them; then, he tried to learn what could usefully be done with them.Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people will do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking can give men enjoyment and pleasure.Edison could not understand how anyone could be uninterested in life. As he loved to think, he also loved to work. On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked him what ideas he had about life. “Work,” he answered. “Discovering the secretsof nature and using them to make men happier.” He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.4.

Edison was _____________.A. interested in discovering the secrets of natureB. very much interested in natureC. interested in changing people’s ideasD. uninterested in making people happier by discovering the secrets of nature6. In Edison’s opinion,______________.A. thinking can supply people with enjoyment and pleasure as well as helpB. people’s success lies mostly in geniusC. hard work is the second important thing in making people successfulD. there are few secrets for him to discover later7. The last sentence in the passage most probably implies __________ .A. Edison made 100 inventions in his lifeB. life is too short for Edison to invent more for human beingsC. Edison was able to live and work for 100 yearsD. People of his time were ready to give Edison another 100 years’ workCThe home computer industry has been growing rapidly in the United States for the l ast ten years . Computers used to be large, expensive machines that were very difficult to use . But scientists and technicians have been making them smaller and cheaper while a t the same time they have been made easier to use. As a result, their popularity has been increasing as more people have been buying computers for their homes and businesses. Computers have been designed to store information and compute problems that are difficult for human beings to work out. Some have voices that speakwith the operators. Stores use computers to keep records of their inventories (库存货物) and to send bills to their customers(顾客) . Offices use computers to copy letters, record business and keep in touch with other offices. People have been using computers in their homes to keep track of the money they spend.One important new use for computers is for entertainment(娱乐). Many new games have been designed to be played on the computers. People of all ages have been playing these games, People also have been buying home computers to play computer games, watch movies and listen to concerts at home. They have become very popular indeed.8. Computers used to _____.A. be large and expensiveB. work rapidlyC. be easy to useD. be used for fun9.

The best title for the passage would be _______.A. New Uses For ComputersB. The Popularity of Home ComputersC. The Home Computer IndustryD. Computers At HomeDFailure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.We experience this tiredness in two ways: as start-up fatigue(疲惫) and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel.Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical(按字母顺序), never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day’s work with the difficult task of essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works.Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can-then let the unconscious take over.When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica (《大英百科全书》), I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after dat I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable.One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relived, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind provided correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.Human beings, I believe must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.12. People with start-up fatigue are most likely toA. accept failureB. work hardC. seek helpD. delay tasks13. What does the author recommend doing to prevent start-up fatigue?A. Writing essays in strict order.B. Building up physical strength.C. Leaving out the toughest ideas.D. Dealing with the hardest task first.14. On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue?A. Before starting a difficult task.B. If the job is rather boring.C. When all the solutions fail.D. After finding a way out.15. Wh at could be the best title for the passage?A. Success Is Built upon FailureB. How to Handle Performance FatigueC. Getting over Fatigue: A Way to SuccessD. Fatigue: An Early Sign of Health Problems第二节（共五小题，每题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。

AYou may need to give first aid. First aid is defined as the emergency care given to a sick or injured person. The goals of first aid are to prevent death and to prevent injuries from becoming worse.Each emergency condition is different. However, the following rules apply to any kind of emergency.☆Be aware of your limitations. Do not try to do more than you are able to. Nor should you do things if you are unfamiliar with them. Do what you can under the conditions at the time.☆ Stay calm. Acting calmly will help the victim feel safe.☆ Take a quick look to see if the victim is bleeding, and if there is a pulse.☆ Keep the victim lying down and do not move him or her. You could make an injury worse if you move the victim.☆ Take necessary emergency steps.☆ Call for help or ask someone to make the EMS system(急救系统) start.☆ Do not remove clothing unless you have to. If clothing must be removed, tear theclothes along the seams(线缝).☆Keep the victim warm. Cover the victim with a blanket. Coats and sweaters can be used if a blanket cannot be found.☆ Reassure the victim. Explain what is happening and that help has been called.☆ Do not give the victim any food or fruits.☆Keep the bystanders away from the victim.

Because bystanders can prevent the victim from receiving first aid.B. Because what they say can make the victim think the condition is very bad.C. Because the victim doesn’t want to accept the advice of bystanders.D. Because the victim hates being surrounded by bystanders.BI was attending a party one night given in Sir Ross’s honor. During the dinner, the man sitting next to me told a humorous story and spoke of the quotation: “There’s a divinity(神) that shapes our ends. Rough-hew them how we will.”The storyteller mentioned that the quotation was from the Bible. He was wrong. I knew that; I knew it positively. There couldn’t be the slightest doubt about it. And so, to get a feeling of importance and show my high quality, I chose myself as an unwelcome person to correct him. He stuck to his guns. “What? From Shakespeare? Impossible! Absurd ! That quotation was from the Bible. ”The storyteller was sitting at my right hand, and Frank Gammond, an old friend of mine, was seated at my left hand. Mr. Gammond had devoted years to the study of Shakespeare, so the storyteller and I agreed to leave the question to Mr. Gammond. Mr. Gammond listened, kicked me under the table, and then said, “Dale, you are wrong. The gentleman is right. It is from the Bible.”On our way home that night, I said to Mr. Gammond, “Frank, you knew that quotation was from Shakespeare.”“Yes, of course,” he replied. “Hamlet, Act V, Scene 2. But we were guests on a festive occasion, my dear Dale. Why prove to a man he is wrong? Is that going to make him like you? Why not let him save his face? He didn’t ask for your opinion. He didn’t want it. Why argue with h im?”The man who said that taught me a lesson I would never forget. I not only had made the storyteller uncomfortable, but had put my friend in an embarrassing situation. How much better it would have been if I hadn’t become argumentative.Nine times out of ten, an argument ends with each of the contestants(竞争者) more firmly convinced than ever that he is absolutely right. You can’t win an argument. You can’t because if you lose it, you lose it; and if you win it, you lose it.4. At the party, the author tried to get a feeling of importance by ___________ .A. telling a humorous storyB. showing off his rich knowledgeC. teaching the storyteller a lessonD. correcting the storyteller’s mistake5. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 means that ___________ .A. he realized he was wrongB. he didn’t change his mindC. he felt sorry for what he saidD. he wanted to fight with the author6. What do we learn about Frank Gammond?A. He was very humorous.B. He was very thoughtful.C. He knew much about the Bible.D. He didn’t know much about Shakespeare.7. What does the author learn from his friend Gammond?A. Having an open mind.B. Respecting others opinion.C. Never getting into an argument.D. Avoiding making mistakes in public.CAsk someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not bring so much material home in the first place.The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a typical household’s waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of it for carrying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. Th is is especially true of food. But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realize just how much unnecessary material we are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.8. What does the underlined word “over-consumption” refer to?A. Using too much packaging.B. Recycling too much waste.C. Making more products than necessary.D. Having more material than is needed.9. The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show .A. the tendency of cutting household wasteB. the increase of packaging recyclingC. the rapid growth of supermarketsD. the fact of packaging overuse10. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A. Unpackaged products are of bad quality.B. Supermarkets care more about packaging.C. It is improper to judge quality by packaging.D. Other products are better packaged than food.11. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Fighting wastefulness is difficult.B. Needless material is mostly recycled.C. People like collecting recyclable waste.D. The author is proud of his consumer culture.DIt’s 8 a. m., Tuesday, Nov. 18, 2028, and you are head ing for a business appointment 300 miles away. You step into your circle, a two-passenger air-cushion car, press a series of buttons and the national traffic computer notes your destination, figures out the current traffic situation and signals your car to slide out of the garage. Hands free, you sit back and begin to read the morning paper — which is mashed on a flat TV screen over the car’s dashboard. Tapping a button changes the page.The car speeds up to 150 mph in the city’s countryside, and then hits 250 mph in less built-up areas, driving over the smooth plastic road. You fly past a string of cities, many of them covered by the newdomes(圆屋顶) that keep them evenly climatized all year round. Traffic is heavy, typically, but there’s no need to worry. The traffic computer, which sends and receives signals to and from all cars on the road between cities, keeps vehicles at least 50 yds apart. There hasn’t been an accident since the system began.Suddenly your TV phone buzzes. A business partner wants a sketch of a new kind of impeller your firm is producing for sports boats. You reach for your case and draw the diagram with a pencil-thin infrared flashlight(红外线手电筒) on what looks like a TV screen lining the back of the case. The diagram is sent to a similar s creen in your partner’s office, 200 miles way. He presses a button and a fixed copy of the sketch rolls out of the machine. He wishes you good luck at the coming meeting and signs off.Ninety minutes after leaving your home, you slide beneath the dome of your destination city. Your car slows down and heads for an outer-core office building where you’ll meet your colleagues. After you get out, the vehicle parks itself in a garage to await your return. Private cars aren’t allowed inside most city cores. Moving sidewalks and trams(有轨电车) carry the public from one location to another.12. The traffic computer in your car can .A. keep your car at a safe distance from other carsB. keep your car at the same speed in different situationsC. keep your car receiving signals of TV programsD. keep your car driving while avoiding heavy traffic13. Why are the cities covered by the new domes?A. To prevent people from being wet in the rain.B. To stop the climate of the cities changing violently all year.C. To protect the travelers against the strong sunshine.D. To make the city have the same weather all year.14. What will the city be like in the future?A. No accidents will happen because of heavy traffic.B. The sidewalk can move itself up and downC. The road will be built with the plastic material.D. The car can park itself on a dome to wait for your return.15. The passage is most probably taken from .A. a popular science magazineB. a short story collectionC. a research paperD. a personal diary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。
