Self-help guidance books have topped the bestseller lists since Benjamin Franklin published his autobiography. Americans are much more likely than Europeans to believe that people can get ahead in life so long as they are willing to work hard. And they are much more likely to choose a high-paying job that carries a risk of redundancy(裁员) than a lower-paid job that guarantees security. But you can’t have winners without losers (or how would you know how well you are doing?). And you can’t broaden opportunity without also broadening the opportunity to fail. For example, blacks could not blame themselves for their failure in the “race of life”, in Abraham Lincoln’s phrase, because at that time they were prevented from so many parts of it. But now although the barriers are lifted, the picture of the blacks’ life is more complex. All of which creates a huge problem: how exactly should a highly-competitive society deal with its losers? It’s all very well to note that drunkards and lazybones get what they deserve. But what about the honest toilers? One way to deal with the problem is to offer people as many second chances as possible. In his new book “Born Losers: A History of Failure in America”, Scott Sandage argues that in the mid-nineteenth century people held a different view of failure—from something that had described a bad business to something that defined a whole life. ks5u Yet one of the outstanding things about America is how strongly it has refused to hold the idea that there is any such thing as a born loser. American schools don’t divide their pupils into groups according to their ability much longer than the European schools: the whole point is to fit in rather than stand out. American higher education has many points of entry and reentry. And the American legal system has some of the most generous bankruptcy(破产) rules in the world. In Europe, a bankrupt is often still a ruined man; in America, he is a risk-taking one. American history—not to mention American folk tales—is filled with examples of people who tried and tried again until they made a success of their lives. Lincoln was a bankrupt storekeeper. Henry Ford was a continuous failure. At 40, Thomas Watson, the architect of IBM, faced prison. America’s past is also full of people who came back from disaster. A second way to deal with losers is to celebrate them. Perhaps in reaction to the nonstop development of business life, American popular culture often sympathizes with losers. But even in the loser-loving bits of popular culture, the American success is always achieved in spite of difficulties. More often than not, born losers turn out to be winners at last. 41. Why do Americans prefer a high-paying job according to the passage? A. Because they are afraid of taking risks. B. Because they are devoted to working hard. C. Because they are eager to achieve success. D. Because they are interested in reading bestsellers. 42. The underlined words “honest toilers” (Paragraph 3) can best be described as people who are _________. ks5u A. hard-working B. reliable C. wealthy D. determined 43. The fourth paragraph is written to _________. A. compare American education system with that of Europe B. introduce some generous rules of American legal system C. show that America is ready to give people second chances D. explain the reason why Americans refuse to be born losers 44. The writer may most probably agree with the idea that ___________. A. America is a country not fit for black people B. born losers have already disappeared in modern American society C. there is always a dislike of people who are crazy about promoting business D. American society has gradually changed the attitude towards failure over the years 45. Which of the following is mainly conveyed in the passage? A. Success comes first. B. More winners, more losers. C. History is full of changes and advances. D. Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again. B Your teens don’t want you to be their friends. What they need is for you to be a reliable responsible role model worthy of their respect, and not some overgrown child who wears too tight jeans or T-shirts with slogans advocating the good points of 100 proof liquor. Don’t debate the teen ever. If she wants to debate, suggest she sign up for the Debate Club. If you buy into their teen logic (which is basically illogic, the product of an immature brain and every extreme of emotion known to mankind) your mouth will go dry. Teens need to know that no means no. Remember when your teen was two years old and he said “no” a lot? Well now it’s your turn, particularly when your teen wants to engage in behaviors that are dangerous. Don’t buy your teen a car. If you do, he will total it in record time. Guaranteed. The teen should earn the car, or at least a portion of it (and by that I don’t mean one of the tires). You know how you take much better care of an item of clothing you spent a fortune on compared to one you bought in a bargain basement? It’s the same thing, only a car can do serious damage. Encourage sports participation even if your teen has two left feet. In some sports, two left feet won’t knock him out of the box, so to speak. Sports participation develops perseverance and cheerfully functioning as a team member. You also will know where your child is every day after school (on the field, that is, or at a rival school). Just make sure you root for the right team, okay? Been there, done that. Let the school know you in a good way so that school personnel do not dive under the desk when you approach. If you are asked to speak at the school, your teen will feel mighty proud. If you make something for the bake sale, try to make it taste edible and if you can’t see it through, do yourself and your child a favor and buy something at the local bakery or supermarket. To know your teens’ friends is to know your teens. Teens have a secret life, and a parent’s goal is to find out secrecy that is sometimes thicker than the CIA and the KGB combined. If you really want to know what your kid is up to, get to know their friends. How? By being warm and kind, and by asking questions that don’t sound like an interrogation(审讯), but serve that purpose without their knowing it. 46. When your kids are doing something that might negatively affect their future, you should _____. A. have your kids express their opinions fully and then discuss with them B. think about how you can be their close friends C. report that to their school immediately D. say no and tell them that they must stop 47. According to the passage, as a parent, you should encourage your kids __________. A. to wear too tight jeans B. to sign up for the Debate Club C. to be greatly involved in sports D. to make as many friends as they can 48. The underlined word “total” in the third paragraph probably means ________. A. damage B. add C. buy D. earn 49. The passage mainly wants you to know that __________. A. kids have their secrecy and freedom B. raising Teenagers calls for certain parenting skills C. your teen needs some house rules D. the family is changing C A few months ago as I wandered through my parents’ house, the same house I grew up in, I had a sudden, scary realization. When my parents bought the house, in 1982, they were only two years older than I am now. I tried to imagine myself in two years, ready to settle down and buy the house I’d still be living in almost 30 years later. It seemed ridiculous. On a practical level, there’s no way I could afford to buy a house anytime soon. More importantly, I wouldn’t want to. I’m not sure where I’ll be living in two years, or what kind of job I’ll have. And I don’t think I’ll be ready to settle down and stay in one place. So this is probably the generation gap that divides my friends and me from our parents. When our parents were our age, they’d gotten their education, chosen a career, and were starting to settle into responsible adult lives. My friends and I – “Generation Y” – still aren’t sure what we want to do with our lives. Whatever we end up doing, we want to make sure we’re happy doing it. We’d rather take risks first, try out different jobs, and move from one city to another until we find our favorite place. We’d rather spend our money on travel than put it in a savings account. This casual attitude toward responsibility has caused some critics to call my generation “arrogant”, “impatient”, and “overprotected”. Some of these complaints have a point. As children we were encouraged to succeed in school, but also to have fun. We grew up in a world full of technological innovation: cell phones, the Internet, instant messaging, and video games. Our parents looked to rise vertically(垂直的)--starting at the bottom of the ladder and slowly making their way to the top, on the same track, often for the same company. That doesn’t apply to my generation. Because of that, it may take us longer than our parents to arrive at responsible, stable adulthood. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. In our desire to find satisfaction, we will work harder, strive for ways to keep life interesting, and gain a broader set of experiences and knowledge than our parents’ generation did.

Which of the following statements about “Generation Y” is TRUE? A. There’s a great difference between “Generation Y” and their parents in making their way to the top. B.

A. describing one of her experiences of growing up. B. criticizing young generation’s casual attitude to responsibility. C. comparing the lifestyles of generations. D. presenting factors that have changed the young generation. D I began reading words when I was eight months old. By the time I was two, I had read Charlotte’s Web. My parents thought it was odd, but because I didn’t have any siblings for them to compare me with, they didn’t realise just how odd. At pre-school in Northport, New York, I quickly overtook everyone. At seven, I was going into high school for my classes but still doing all my social activities with kids my age. But when I was nine, the public school administration said that I had to go to high school full-time with 16-year-olds. I didn’t want to, because some kids there were always teasing me -it was pretty horrible when they called me a know-it-all and tried to grab my homework. My parents tried to find me another school but, in the end, because I was so advanced, the only place that was on the same level as me was State University of New York at Stony Brook. The admissions people said that if I thought I could manage I could have a place, as long as my mother accompanied me to classes. So, aged 10, I started an undergraduate degree in applied mathematics. I was frightened on my first day, but I was also excited that I was going to attend my first real physics class. Most of the teachers were nice but one or two didn’t like me. One professor said that just because I did as well as the other, male, students, it didn’t mean I was as good as them. But the students were supportive and my parents always made sure that I had a group of friends of my own age; they didn’t want me to be a social misfit. I graduated summa cum laude(with the highest honor) when I was 14 -the youngest student ever to do so in the US. I was a perfectionist; I don’t think I would have settled for less than that. I went on to Drexel University and, at 17, I was awarded a Master’s and continued to study for a Ph D. But that was when I grew disillusioned with the science world. I saw bad conduct and realised that some professors weren’t motivated by a love of science. I fell out with the adviser who was supervising my Ph D. I charged Drexel University in a civil lawsuit and the case has now gone into private, binding arbitration(仲裁). I believe my adviser applied for grants and patents using my ideas, and took credit for them. He denies this and has accused me of stealing his work. Even though the university has cleared me of plagiarism(剽窃)it has still refused to award me my PhD. At the time I was fully expecting to receive my PhD, I applied for a post teaching advanced technology fusion at Konkuk university in Seoul. When I was appointed, I was just under 19, so I made it into Guinness World Records. In South Korea, I was treated as a minor celebrity. People stared at me wherever I went on campus, and I was asked to give inspirational talks to teenagers. But I didn’t renew my contract: I’d had a great year, but I wanted to come home. I still don’t have my PhD and I am angry and disappointed about that. I worked so hard all my life and my research ended up going nowhere. There’s always hope, but the experience at Drexel has derailed me. If a university gave me a place to complete my studies, I would take it. But I am someone who is suing her former university, so a lot of colleges are afraid to touch me. For now, I’m enrolled in law school and training to be a lawyer. I want to combine legal and science knowledge so that I can protect people’s research rights. It’s strange being back at school: I’m 21 years old and for the first time in my life, I’m the same age as the other students. 55. The underlined word “siblings” in the first paragraph probably means ______. A. children B. friends C. classmates D. brothers or sisters 56. How would the author describe her high school experience? A. sweet B. awful C. boring D. pleasant 57. When the author attended State University of New York, ______. A. all the professors liked her B. she still kept in touch with her friends of her age. C. her mother expected her to make friends with her classmates D. the students there didn’t think she was as good as them. 58. The underlined sentence “But that was when I was disillusioned with the science world” suggests that the author ______. A. felt disappointed with what some scientists do B. grew old enough to be a scientist C. was treated as a real scientist D. became motivated by a love of science 59. What probably made it difficult for her to be admitted by another university other than Drexel? A. Her GPA B. Her performances at Konkuk university in Seoul C. Her relationship with Drexel University D. She was accused of plagiarism by her supervisor 60. How does the writer feel when she was writing this passage? A. proud and frustrated B. excited and angry C. calm and satisfied D.excited and disappointed 第二节:下面文章中有5处(第61–65题)需要添加小标题。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出符合各段意思的小标题,并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。 David和几位同学正在进行一项“企业家成功秘诀调查”。他们将采访几位企业家。A-F是他们拟定的采访话题。阅读下面刊登在Entrepreneur(《企业家》)杂志上5位企业家的成功感言,为每位采访者选定最佳采访对象。(采访话题中有一项是多余选项)。 A. What comes first, the customer or the profit? B. How important is an entrepreneur’s ambition to his/her company’s growth? C. How does an entrepreneur make use of his/her advantages? D. Why do successful entrepreneurs seem to enjoy their work? E. What attitude should an entrepreneur have toward his/her social responsibilities? F. As an entrepreneur, how do you deal with dishonesty in doing business? 61.__________ Sheri Poe Ryka Inc. Since I started this company in my kitchen seven years ago. I always dreamt of what it would be some day. Focusing on that goal helps me get through tough times. To get the kind of success that you want, you need to dream big. That’s the starting point. Every success story begins with big dreams. You need to have big dreams for yourself, like being somebody rich, famous or fulfilled. You need to have a clear goal of what you want to achieve. Also, I think it’s really important that the people you’re working with are as committed to the same goal as you are, so you can support each other and keep each other dynamic. 62.__________ Anita Roddick The Body Shop Inc. In America, we have a shop in Harlem where 50 percent of the profits go into the community development, and the other 50 percent go toward the funding of a similar shop elsewhere in the United States. The pride that shop brings to the staff and local people inspired me. What The Body Shop does successfully is use our facilities in the street and shopping centers to talk about real human issues like AIDS, recycling, human rights, and community service or to encourage people to speak out against anything they consider to be unjust. Knowing our products are symbols of social change is really encouraging. 63.__________ Richard Melman Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises A number of years ago, I was interviewed by someone who was writing a book on enterprises. He asked me, “What’s the opposite of work?” I answered, “Lazy.” He started laughing and said, “Believe it or not, a lot of entrepreneurs say the same thing.” The average person thinks the opposite of work is play, but to an entrepreneur, work is play. I think it all adds up to having fun. It’s fun to create, it’s fun to entertain, and it’s fun to make people happy with our service. When it stops being fun, I’ll stop doing it. 64.__________ Frank Toskan Make-Up Art Cosmeties (M.A.C) One of the nicest things anyone ever said to me was, “I hate makeup, but I love M.A.C.” That’s what moves me on. Even people who don’t wear makeup can appreciate our company, what it stands for, its values, and the way we do business. We work from an inverted (颠倒的) pyramid, where the customers are always at the top. Our customers inspire me and keep me going. They and our staff, not money, make me enthusiastic. If I had stayed in this business just for the money, I would have closed down years ago. 65.__________ Kenneth Cole Kenneth Cole Productions Inc. You can’t be everything to everybody. Each of us has our own strengths and weaknesses. To be effective, you need to identify your strengths and concentrate on them. You’ll become more successful if you are able to channel your efforts to areas that you do best. In business, for example, if you know you are good at marketing, then give it full play. Seek help or assistance in areas that you may be poor at, such as accounting or bookkeeping. To turn your weakness into strength, consider taking hands-on learning or training.

Now a computer can do a lot of everyday jobs wonderful. It is widely used in factories, hospitals and banks. Many computer’s scientists are now thinking of making the computer to “think” like a man. At the help of a person, a computer can draw pictures, write music, talking with people, translate languages and so on. Perhaps computers will one day really think and feel. Do you think what people will be worrying when they will find that the computer is too clever. 第二节:书面表达(满分30分) 请根据下图写一篇100-120个词的短文。你的短文内容应该包括下列要点: 1. 简要描述图画内容 2. 结合生活中的实例谈谈你对于这幅图画的理解 提示词:仙人掌 cactus 刺 thorn 英语参考答案: 单项选择(共20小题;每小题0.5分,满分10分) 1-5 CABAC 6-10BBDDC 11-15 CCAAD 16-20 ADCBA 完形填空(共20小题; 每小题1分,满分20分) 21-25.

He is cutting the thorns off the cactus. Maybe he thinks the thorns will hurt him. But a cactus without thorns is not a cactus anymore. What’s more, cutting down thorns can cause deadly effects because thorns can prevent loss of water and protect cactuses from birds and animals. Just like the boy, we human beings always try to change nature according to our will. For many years we have been doing things against nature, just for our own benefits. Now we are suffering from the disasters we have caused---pollution, climate change, deforestation and so on. I think it’s time for us to correct our mistakes and learn to respect nature. 查看更多
