Profits were equal to expenses.And soon after,I began to gain ground.My signs were selling very quickly.They were selling like hotcakes.‎ I was happy.The company was moving forward and making real progress.It was in the black,not in the red.The company was making money,not losing it.‎ My friend knew about my business.He is a leader in the sign-making industry—a real big gun,if your know what I mean.He offered to buy my company.‎ He offered me a ball park estimate of the amount he would pay to buy my company.But I knew his uneducated guess was low.My company was worth much more.That is,he asked his accountant to take a close look at the finances of my company and decide how much it was worth.Then my friend increased his offer.‎ My friend's official offer was finally given to me in black and white.It was written on paper and more than I ever dreamed.I was finally able to get a break I made a huge profit on my company,and my friend also got a bang for the buck.He got a successful business for the money he spent.‎ ‎25.What's the author's attitude towards his business?‎ A.He worked like a banker.

Co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin started the company while studying at Stanford University.Google's founders and its employees,then,understood some of the challenges that entrepreneurs（创业者）around the world may face.An entrepreneur is a person who starts a business.They must be willing to risk financial loss in order to make money.‎ Mary Grove is the director of a program called Google for Entrepreneurs.She said Google wants to help new start-up businesses grow and be successful.‎ Google for Entrepreneurs has opened campuses around the world.Entrepreneurs in each city can use Google's buildings without paying.Entrepreneurs can work with each other and learn from people who are more experienced in business.‎ Yeram Kwon is the head of a company in South Korea.Her business is called I.M.Lab.It makes a product that helps people learn to perform the lifesaving technique called CPR.She said she has learned how to solve some of her business's problems by attending Google events in Seoul.‎ Outside of its own buildings in these cities,Google provides financial support and resources for partner organizations around the world.Building partnerships is a way for Google to spread the idea of entrepreneurialism around the world.Google can use its network to help find people who want to invest in start-up businesses.Those people need to be ready to take risks.That is something Kwon said that makes some Koreans uncomfortable.“Most Korean people think that it is much safer to work for big companies like Samsung and LG,”she said.‎ But,Kwon said the Korean government and technology companies are now supporting people willing to take business risks.‎ ‎28.What can be learned from the text?‎ A.Google provides direct financial support to entrepreneurs.‎ B.The idea of entrepreneurialism is highly thought of by everyone.‎ C.Yeram Kwon thinks most Korean people lack spirit of business adventure.‎ D.Entrepreneurs can use Google's network to find investors by themselves.‎ ‎29.Why did the author mention Yeram Kwon?‎ A.She helped Google's program a lot. B.She guided others to start businesses.‎ C.She benefited from Google's program. D.She was active in investing in Google businesses.‎ ‎30.Why does Google advocate the program according to the text?‎ A.Because it can make more money without risk. ‎ B.Because it just wants to help the entrepreneur.‎ C.Because it can promote its reputation by doing this. ‎ D.Because it can build partnerships with more companies.‎ ‎31.What can be the best title for the text?‎ A.Google Inspires Entrepreneurs Around the World B.Google Will Build Its Branches in the World C.More Companies Like Google Will Appear D.Start-up Businesses Learn From Google D We all do it.We make huge plans for New Year's Eve.As the big day approaches,we start building expectations, planning the best night of our lives.And yet,it rarely lives up.After all,how could it?We set unrealistic goals for a single night when many places are crowded and loud,there are tons of noisy drunk people,and an astronomical bill comes at the end of the evening.You're left wondering, “Was it worth it?” Fortunately,all it takes is a little reconsideration of your expectations to make sure this year's big night is one to remember.‎ If you get smashed on New Year's Eve,it is likely that you won't even remember what you did and whether or not you had fun.That's not saying there's something wrong with having a couple of glasses of wine at midnight.After all,it is a celebration.Just keep it light,since you want to remember the fun you had with your friends and family. After all,do you really want to spend the first day of the new year with drunkenness?‎ Many people like to spend the holidays with their friends and family.You could reserve a table at a favorite restaurant,but how about staying home and cooking?There's nothing worse than having to shout across the table because the restaurant is so crowded,except maybe waiting in line for an hour or more for that privilege.Never mind the bill will almost always be significantly higher than it would be almost any other night of the year.If you love to cook,you can make a great meal that everyone can enjoy.‎ A great idea for an at-home New Year's Eve party is wonderful.If it's a large get-together,it might be difficult to have a sit-down meal due to space restrictions,but a buffet is always a good choice.You just need to display the dishes for them to choose as they wish.Consider your space and guests’ comfort when deciding what to serve.‎ ‎32.Why do our huge plans for New Year's Eve usually fail?‎ A.We waste too much money on dinner. B.There are drunk people everywhere.‎ C.Every place is crowded with people. D.We pin too much on a single night.‎ ‎33.Which of the following can replace the underlined word "smashed" in Paragraph 2?‎ A.Tired. B.Drunk. C.Bored. D.Excited.‎ ‎34.What did the author suggest to spend holidays with our friends and family?‎ A.Treating them at home. B.Inviting them to dinner outside.‎ C.Waiting in line for a favorite restaurant. D.Booking a great meal that everyone can enjoy.‎ ‎35.What should we do if our home is not big enough?‎ A.Try to arrange a sit-down meal for our friends. B.Serve a small meal according to our space.‎ C.Let our friends help themselves to dishes. D.Consider our guests’ comfort only.‎ 第二节.七选五（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。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ The road to happiness We all know that money can't buy happiness,but many times we act as if we'd be happier ‎ with a bit more money. We are trained to want the latest style that television tells us._36_But none of that will bring us happiness.No matter how much we earn,no matter how nice our clothing or cars or toys,none of it will make us happier.And the sad thing is that it could take us decades of pursuing wealth and luxury items before we realize this.So what will bring us happiness?_37_‎ Positive thinking.I'm obviously a big approval of positive thinking as the best way to achieve your goals,but it turns out that it can lead to happiness too._38_Happy people feel energetic,in control of their lives,and have a positive attitude to life.‎ ‎_39_We have a human need to be close.Having good,supportive friendships,a strong marriage or close and loving links with our family members will make us much more likely to be happy.‎ Flow.This is a popular concept on the Internet these days—the state we enter when we are completely focused on the work before us.Having work and leisure that gets you in this state of flow will almost undoubtedly lead to happiness.People find greatest enjoyment not when they're passively mindless,but when they're absorbed in a mindful challenge.‎ ‎_40_Don't waste them!‎ A.Good relationships.‎ B.You've been given the three secrets to happiness.‎ C.In fact,this should be one of the first habits you develop.‎ D.It may sound ridiculous,but it has worked for me every time.‎ E.Luckily,here're three secrets to happiness that don't cost anything.‎ F.We want to earn more money because then we'll have a better life.‎ G.Optimism and self-esteem are some of the best marks of people who lead happy lives.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每题1.5分，满分30分）‎ Did you ever have a dream?I'm not talking about a dream you have when you sleep.I’m talking about a conscious_41_where you would like to see a new future,a different choice of employment,and a_42_of you own.
