第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A,B,C和D)中,选出最佳选项.
A
Liquid Paper (修正液) was invented by Bette Nesmith Graham. She was 17 when she got a job at a Texas bank as a secretary, even though she didn’t know how to type. The company she worked for sent her to a secretary school, and she was typing in no time at all.
The 1950s had seen the widespread use of the electric typewriter, which typed faster but also meant more mistakes. Also, mistakes made by early electric typewriters were very hard to erase, which caused problems for Bette.
In order to make extra money she used her talent to paint holiday windows at the bank. Then one day, it suddenly occurred to her that she could create a paint to cover up type-writing mistakes.
It worked! In 1956, Bette sold her first bottles of the new product, which she called “Mistake Out”. She made it in her kitchen, and her son Michael and his friends bottled it in the family garage.
By 1957, she was selling 100 bottles a month and had gotten a patent (专利) for her product, which she now called “Liquid Paper.” Sales continued to grow, as more and more people heard about Liquid Paper, through word-of-mouth and by reading about it in magazines.
In the 1960s, Bette bought a machine to help her produce Liquid Paper in large quantities. In 1971, she sold 2 million bottles. In 1979, she sold the company for 47.5 million dollars. She didn’t live to see the end of the contract (合同), dying in 1980, at the age of 56, in Texas.
Bette’s invention continues to be used every day by secretaries and other people in the office and wherever typewriters are used.
21. When Bette began to work in a bank, she ______.
A. was too young to type B. had graduated from secretary school
C. had no experience in typing D. taught herself about typing
22. It can be inferred that the first Liquid Paper ______.
- 14 -
A. was produced by hand B. was made by machine
C. was bottled in the kitchen D. was tested in the factory
23. What is the passage mainly about?
A. A rock group. B. A secretary. C. Liquid Paper. D. Mistake Out.
24. The passage is organized mainly in order of ______.
A. importance B. time C. space D. popularity
B
There was a man playing the piano in a bar. He was a good piano player and always performed in this bar. People came in just to hear him play. But one night, a customer told him that he didn’t want to hear him just play the piano any more. He wanted him to sing a song.
The man said, “I don’t sing.”
But the customer was persistent (固执的). He told the bar manager, “I’m tired of listening to the piano. I want that man to sing!”
The manager shouted across the room, “If you want to get paid, sing a song. Our customers are asking you to sing!”
So he did. He sang a song. A piano player who had never sung in public did so for the first time. And everyone was surprised by his song — “Mona, Mona Lisa”. He got lots of applause (掌声) that night.
He had such a talent for singing, but he just had been sitting on his talent for the past years! If without such a chance, he may have lived the rest of his life as a no-name piano player in a no-name bar. However, now he had become one of the best-known singers in America.
You, too, have skills and abilities. Maybe your “talent” is not as great as the singer above, but it may be better than you think! And with effort, most skills can be improved. So, in your life, you should be brave enough to try doing different things and find out what talents you really have!
25. Why did the man start to sing?
A. Because he wanted to make more money.
- 14 -
B. Because the bar manager said he liked his song.
C. Because the manager asked him to sing at the request of a customer.
D. Because he wanted to show everyone that he had a talent for singing.
26. What do you think of the bar manager?
A. Strict. B. Rude. C. Patient. D. Kind.
27. What do the underlined words “he just had been sitting on his talent” probably mean?
A. He didn’t discover his talent. B. He didn’t sing.
C. He had no talent for singing. D. He hated to sing.
C
Have you ever wanted to be healthier? Get a pet! That is what the experts are saying. There are many advantages to owning a pet, no matter whether it is a cat, dog, or horse.
Some new parents are often give up their pets when they have a baby. Yet, studies have shown that having a pet at home actually reduces a child’s likelihood of getting certain kinds of diseases. In one study, a researcher studied 300 new-born babies and tested them again a year later. He found that if they had a dog at home the children had up to 33% fewer allergies (过敏症). In addition, the children had stronger immune systems (免疫系统) when compared to the babies of homes with no pets.
In another study, researchers tested nearly 4,500 people. They found that cat owners who spent time stroking (抚摸) their cats suffered 40% fewer heart attacks than those who did not own a cat. Some other studies also found that pet owners suffered less from depression (沮丧) than non-pet owners.
Horses have been used to treat disabled people for a long time, both physically and mentally. Not only does the movement of the horse help people with physical problems, but also the calming influence of the animals has a positive influence on them, too. People found great changes in disabled people who are lucky enough to receive these treatments.
From cats to horses, having a pet can really have positive infulence on our health.

28. What does the underlined word in the second paragraph probably mean?

B. the children in home without a dog may have strong immune system
C. non-pet owners may easily suffer from depression than pet owners

30. What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph?
A. How to raise a horse. B. The way of keeping healthy.
C. How horses help disabled people . D. How to treat disabled people.
31. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?

C. Cat owners suffer more heart attacks than others.

Debt(债务) among young Americans is increasing. Are they ignoring their parents’ advice, or are the parents failing to teach their children about money? Here are a few simple lessons that children as young as seven or eight can understand.
Firstly, save before you buy. When you get money you should immediately save some of it, maybe 20%, After this, spend what you want. Secondly, watch your money. Don’t trust other people with it. Don’t lend money and don’t try to buy friends. If friends want your money, they aren’t real friends. Another piece of advice: buy only what you can afford. If that MP3 player or cell phone costs more than you have, then you don’t need it. Don’t borrow money for it, either. If you really want something, you can save for it. Saving teaches discipline. Also, after you have saved up enough money, you may realize you don’t really want it after all. Finally, don’t compare what you have with your friends. That expensive computer game of your friens
- 14 -
next door may be borrowed or paid for on credit car(信用卡). There is an old saying:“Give a person a fish and he eat for a day, but teach a person how to fish and he will eat for the rest of his life.” This is also true when we teach our children about money. Don’t lecture your children or buy them everything they want. Teach them good habits and they will always look after their money.
32.What will your real friend do when he needs money?
A. Tell you his difficulty and borrow some money from you .
B. Keep silent and try to solve the problem himself.
C. Tell you his difficulty but try to solve the problem himself.
D. Keep silent but let someone else tell you.
33.How much does the passage advise you to spend the money you receive?
A. All of it. B. About 80% C. About 70% D. maybe 20%
34.What is best to do if you want a MP3 but don’t have enough money to buy it?
A. Simply don’t buy it.
B. You can buy it on credit.
C. Ask your parents for help
D. Ask your friends for help.
35.What is best for the parents to teach their children about money?
A. Give them lectures.
B. Let them make real friends.
C. Love them and buy everything want.
D. Teach them good habits.

Teamwork is the ability to work together with other members toward a common goal. 36 But many factors influence the working of a team. If a team can’t get the desired results, try the following ways that would help improve teamwork.
Planning goals ahead: 37 When a goal is planned, all team members should be clear about their goals they have to achieve and then they should find a way that
- 14 -
would lead them to achieve their goals.
Choosing team leader: A team is led by the team leader. 38 It is the leader’s duty to work out the conflicts (冲突) caused by different characters and attitudes.
Keeping good relationship between team members: Teamwork needs cooperation (合作). 39 So it would also be great if the team members can communicate outside the workplace to know each other more. This will help increase a sense of togetherness at work, thus improving teamwork.
Avoiding competition: Competition is important for a person’s growth. 40 One should understand that each person has his or her own strengths and weaknesses. Rather than compete with each other in the team, one should learn from others and improve one’s performance.
A. It would be good for their cooperation if the members know each other well.
B. But there are many difficulties in teamwork.
C. The ability can help common people achieve uncommon goals.
D. His or her duty is to encourage and lead the team members to achieve their goal.
E. The goals should be easy enough to achieve.
F. However, unhealthy competition among group members can hurt team spirit.
G. It is the duty of all the members to work together to plan the goal.
