It was held for the first time from September 20 to October 5, 1946, in the coastal（沿海的） city of Cannes.‎ This festival attracts the attention of all the media（媒体）and receives the visits of important artists, Hollywood actors and directors as well as a large number of film makers.‎ French Open The Roland Garros Stadium plays host to the Grand Slam Tennis Tounament（联赛）. It takes place in Paris at the end of May every year. Only the best tennis players around the world can take part in this tournament.‎ Nice Jazz Festival Nice, in the south of France, receives more than 45,000 visitors each year. All of them are there for ‎ Nice Jazz Festival, which takes place in the Arencs dc Cimicz every summer. Concerts are held each day between 7 p.m. and midnight.‎ ‎21．The first Cannes Film Festival lasted for ________.‎ A．ten days B．about half a month C．more than 20 days D．five days ‎22．If you are a tennis lover and you’re in France in May, you can’t miss ________.‎ A．the Cannes film Festival B．Nice Jazz Festival C．French Open D．none of them ‎23．Which of the following is NOT true?‎ A．during Nice Jazz Festival, concerts are held between 7 p. m. and midnight.‎ B．Some important artists, Hollywood actors and directors are interested in the Cannes Film Festival.‎ C．The Cannes Film Festival and French Open take place in the same month.‎ D．The Cannes Film Festival and Nice Jazz Festival were first held in the same year.‎ B ‎ If you want to be productive， you must complete work． Almost everything we do has many stages to completion and in many situations， you don't actually create value until you finish the last stage． Farmers can't sell their grain until it is harvested． Automakers can't sell cars that have made it 90% of the way through the assembly line（生产线）． Most employers aren't going to pay you for having a degree unless you finished the last class and graduated．‎ Now all those things require starting， but if you have work in progress， the most valuable thing you can do is to pick something and finish it． Finishing is where you start benefiting from the value you've created． I've noticed that many successful people aren't the ones who are the smartest or have the best ideas． They are often the ones who do the best job of taking an idea and completing it． A good idea fully carried out is better than a great idea that never gets completed．‎ Does this mean you need to finish everything you start？ Not necessarily， but if you don't think something is worth finishing， be honest with yourself and terminate the project． Don't leave hundreds of half finished efforts lying around physically or mentally acting like you are going ‎ to come back and pick them up． If you need to drop something ， do so strategically and intentionally． If you've put significant effort into a project， you may still benefit from finishing it even if you wouldn't start it again based on changed circumstances． For example， if you are in your last few months before graduating from college and realize you don't want to career in what you are majoring in， you probably should go ahead and graduate because there is significant value in having the degree---even if you don't intend to actually work in that field．‎ What projects do you have that are currently in progress？ Can you find something and finish it？‎ ‎24．Why do many people become successful according to the author？ ______‎ A．They are the smartest B．They have the best ideas C．They start things smoothly D．They make ideas fully completed ‎25．What does the underlined word "terminate" in paragraph 3 mean？ ______‎ A．Develop B．End C．Plan D．Support ‎26．According to the author， which of the following is the correct way of creating value？ ______‎ A．A man decides to finish all he starts to do B．Farmers hurry to sell their crops before they are ripe C．A college student chooses to study until he gets his degree D．A student keeps a half-filled stamp album around for future use ‎27．What is the best title for the text？ ______‎ A．Finishing vs． Starting B．Well Begun is Half Done C．Planning vs． Performing D．It is Easier Said than Done C ‎ As a young boy, I knew what people said was not always what they meant or were feeling. And I knew it was possible to get others to do what I wanted if I read their real feelings and responded(回应) suitably to their needs. At the age of eleven, I sold sponge rubber(泡沫橡胶) door-to-door after school and quickly worked out how to tell if someone was likely to buy from me. When I knocked on a door, if someone told me to go away but their hands were open and they showed their palms (the inside surfaces of their hands), I knew it was safe to continue with my presentation(展示) because they weren’t angry or threatening although they may have a ‎ dismissive(不屑的) attitude. If someone told me to go away in a soft voice but used a pointed finger or closed hand, I knew it was time to leave.‎ As a teenager, I became a pots and pans(炊具) salesperson, and my ability to read people earned me enough money to buy my first house. Selling gave me the chance to meet people and study them close and to know whether they would buy or not, simply by watching their body language.‎ I joined the life insurance business at the age of twenty. And I went on to break several sales records for my company, becoming the youngest person to sell over a million dollars’ worth of business in my first year. This achievement allowed me to become a member of the well-known Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT, which recognizes the world’s top achievers in life insurance). I was lucky that the skills I’d learned as a boy in watching body language while selling pots and pans could be used in this new area, and were directly related to the success I could have in any business closely connected with people.‎ ‎28．Which of the following meant the author must go away?‎ A．A customer’s soft voice. B．A customer’s pointed finger.‎ C．A customer’s open palms. D．A customer’s dismissive expression.‎ ‎29．What is the “new area” mentioned in the last paragraph?‎ A．The study of selling products. B．The life insurance business.‎ C．The pots and pans industry. D．The work for the MDRT.‎ ‎30．What was the key to the author’s success?‎ A．Listening to customers’ words. B．Understanding customers’ habits.‎ C．Trying to satisfy customers’ needs. D．Reading customers’ body language.‎ ‎31．How does the text mainly develop?‎ A．By following the order of time. B．By giving clear explanations.‎ C．By giving well-known examples. D．By following the order of importance.‎ D ‎ Bob Dylan, the 75-year-old rock legend received the Nobel Prize for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition. Sara Danius, permanent secretary of the Swedish‎ ‎Academy, said Dylan had been chosen because he was a great poet in the English speaking tradition.‎ Dylan, born on May 24, 1941 is an American songwriter, singer, artist, and writer. He has been influential in popular music and culture for more than five decades. Much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s. Early songs such as Tangled up in Blue, Blowing in the Wing and The Times Are a-Changing became anthems（颂歌）for the American civil fights and anti-war movements. Leaving behind his initial base in the American folk music revival（复兴）, his six-minute single Like a Rolling Stone, recorded in 1965, enlarged the range of popular music.‎ Dylan’s lyrics（歌词）include a wide range of political, social, philosophical, and literary features. His recording career, spanning more than 50 years, has explored the traditions in American song---from folk, blues, and country to rock and roll, and rockabilly to English, Scottish, and Irish folk music, embracing even jazz and the Great American Songbook. Dylan performs with guitar, keyboards, and harmonica. Backed by a changing lineup of musicians, he has toured steadily since the late 1980s on what has been called the Never Ending Tour. His accomplishments as a recording artist and performer have been central to his career, but songwriting is considered his greatest contribution.‎ Since 1994, Dylan has published six books of drawings and paintings, and his work has been exhibited in major art galleries. As a musician, Dylan has sold more than 100 million records, making him one of the best-selling artists of all time. He has also received numerous awards including eleven Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe Award, and an Academy Award. In May 2012, Dylan received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Obama.‎ ‎32．Why was Bob Dylan awarded the Nobel Prize?‎ A．Because he invented many music expressions.‎ B．Because his lyrics in his songs rhymed like poems.‎ C．Because his works had the characteristics of Rock.‎ D．Because he changed the English speaking tradition.‎ ‎33．Which of Dylan’s works expended the area of popular music?‎ A．Like a Rolling Stone B．Blowing in the Wind C．Tangled up in Blue D．The Times Are a-Changing ‎34．According to the passage, Bob Dylan can be best described as ________.‎ A．knowledgeable and generous B．talented and socially responsible C．thoughtful and warm-hearted D．hard-working and ambitious ‎35．What is considered to be Dylan’s greatest contribution in his career?‎ A．Composing Poems. B．Giving performances.‎ C．Making records. D．Writing songs.‎ 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎ Difficult financial times don’t mean your giving shuts down. 36．There are so many ways to give back that won’t hurt your wallet and will enrich your life.‎ ‎1.

What if you made a commitment to write a thank-you note to someone every week?‎ ‎3. 39．‎ You never know what someone might be going through-a painful divorce, a tough college semester, or just a bad day.
