One day a friend of his, Lord Henry Wotton, saw the picture and wanted to meet this young man. A few days later, Lord Henry and Dorian Gray met at Basil’s house.        “Ah, how lucky you are to be so young,” said Lord Henry to Dorian. “But time is your enemy.”        “I wish I could always stay young and the picture could grow old. Oh, Basil, why should it stay young while I grow old? I wish the picture could change and I could stay as I am.” Dorian was beginning to fall in love with his own picture.        A few weeks later, Dorian told Lord Henry that he was in love with a young beautiful actress, called Sybil Vane, who had a brother serving as a sailor.        One night, Dorian took his friends to see Sybil acting as Juliet in Romeo and Juliet. She acted badly, which made Dorian very angry with her. “But how can I pretend to be Juliet since I know what real love is?” she said. Dorian said that he had loved her because she was a good actress. Now he didn’t love her any more and so he left her.        When he got back home, Dorian looked at his picture again. Somehow it was different. The face in the picture now had a cruel smile. He realized that he had been cruel to Sybil and would see her and make up for what he had done. But the next day, Lord Henry told him that Sybil had killed herself. When Lord Henry left, Dorian looked at the picture and found the face in the picture would become ugly, old and cruel.        The years went by, but Dorian Gray stayed young and handsome. He enjoyed all the pleasures in his life. However, his picture changed and showed all the terrible secrets of his life. On Dorian’s thirty-eighth birthday, Basil Hayward came to see him. He was horrified when he saw the face in the picture and told Dorian to change his life. Suddenly, Dorian became very angry and took a knife and killed Basil.        A week later, Dorian was in the country staying with some friends when he realized that the sailor, Sybil’s brother, was following him. The next day he went out walking with some of his friends who were shooting. His friend shot at an animal and there was a cry of a man. He killed the sailor. Dorian decided to change his life.        “Maybe if I have a better life, the face in the picture will not be so ugly and horrible.”        But when he looked at the picture, it was even more horrible than before. He decided to destroy the picture. He picked up a knife and stabbed（戳）the painting. There was a loud cry and a crash.        The servants heard these and went into the room. On the wall they saw the picture of Dorian Gray as a young, handsome man. On the floor was a dead man, with a knife in his heart. It was the other Dorian Gray, and his face was old, ugly and horrible. 64. According to the story, Dorian’s wish that he could always stay young ________. A. came true in his life                                   B. brought him surprises one after another C. brought him good luck                              D. led to the loss of his girlfriend’s love 65.

Which of the following do you think is the best title for the passage? A. The Way to Stay Young Forever.                B. A Person’s Real Beauty. C. A Handsome Young Man.                           D. The Picture of Dorian Gray. D        Has it ever happened that an opportunity knocked at your door? How did you respond? How many times did you refuse opportunities that knocked at your door? What was the reason?        The most interesting question is, how many times you couldn’t recognize an opportunity!        Yes, I mean it. Most people couldn’t even recognize opportunities and the success hidden in them.        Here is the reason: “Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don’t recognize them.” —Ann Landers        You think, “Oh, this looks like too much work to do. Why should I do that anyway?” And so you turn around and refuse to do the hard work to seize the opportunity and gain the rewards.        Here is an important fact: You would never be able to achieve great success in your life without your willingness to do hard work and go the extra mile.        Forget about the get–rich-quick plans. Success requires hard work from your side. It also requires smart work. You receive as much as you give. If you are not willing to work very hard to succeed in your life, then the only choice left for you is to stay in the average zone and live a mediocre life.        Successful people are few, because very few people are willing to do the hard work required to get what they want. Successful people are open to every opportunity to achieve what they want. They don’t care about the hard work hidden there. They are brave and they are willing to succeed.        Be ready to do whatever it takes to live an extraordinary life. You deserve it. If you know what you are capable of doing, you will do all the necessary work to express your potential.        Hard work is your key to massive success. Believe me, it is worth all your efforts! 68. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Hard work and success.                                   B. Opportunities and success. C. Giving and receiving.                                D. Smart work and opportunities 69. The underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph means _______________. A. it is always hard to get opportunities           B. opportunities are hidden in hard work C. opportunities often appear after hard work  D. it takes hard work to find opportunities 70. The underlined word “mediocre” in Paragraph 7 probably means “_________”. A. strange                 B. poor                         C. common                         D. sad 第四部分：任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个恰当的单词。        Not so long ago almost any student who successfully completed a university degree or diploma course could find a good job quite easily. Companies toured the universities, competing with each other to persuade graduates to join them. However, those days are gone, even in Hong Kong, and nowadays graduates often face strong competition in the search for jobs.        Most jobs organizations have provided three stages for graduates to follow in the process of finding a suitable job: recognizing abilities, matching these to available chances and presenting them well to future employers.     Job seekers have to make a careful judgment of their abilities. One area of judgment should be of their academic qualifications, which would include special skills within their subject area. Graduates should also consider their own personal values and attitudes, or the relative importance to themselves of such matters as money, confidence, leadership and caring for others. An honest judgment of personal interests and abilities such as creative or scientific skills, or skills developed from work experience, should also be given careful thought.     The second stage is to study the chances available for employment and to think about how the general employment situation is likely to develop in the future. To do this, graduates can study available job chances and information in newspapers or they can visit a job office, write to possible employers for information or get in touch with friends or relatives who may already be holding a particular profession. After studying all the various choices, they should be in a position to make informed comparisons between various jobs.     A good personal presentation is necessary in the search for a good job. Job application forms and letters should, of course, be filled in carefully and correctly, without grammar or spelling mistakes. Where additional information is asked for, job seekers should describe their abilities and work experience in detail, with examples if possible. They should try to balance their own abilities with the employer’s needs, explain why they are interested in a job with the particular company and try to show that they already know something about the company and its activities.     When graduates are asked to attend an interview, they should prepare properly by finding out all they can about the would-be employer. Dressing suitably and arriving for the interview on time are also obviously important. Interviewees should try to give positive and helpful answers and should not be afraid to ask questions about anything they are unsure about. This is much better than pretending to understand a question and giving an unsuitable answer.  There will always be good job chances for people with ability, skills and determination. The secret to achieving a good job is to be one of them.       The  71   of finding a suitable job       Three stages Recognizing abilities Job seekers must  73  their abilities carefully. They must take their values and attitudes into    74   . Matching abilities to available chances They must make a study in various ways. They should  75  various jobs to find a suitable one.

They should speak more about the company to show they are  77   with it.   Attending an interview Gather as much   78    as they can about the would-be employer.   79   suitably and arrive on time.  Try to be  80  when asking questions. 第五部分：单词拼写（满分10分） 81.

All countries are trying their best to increase people’s awareness of protecting the environment. As we all know, apart from the floods related to global warming, it also results in changes in many other ways, such as agriculture and people’s life. As a result, people are desperate to find a good way to stop it from becoming more serious. Thankfully, many people have realized their own responsibilities. They have cut down on carbon dioxide emission by driving less or adopting some other environmentally friendly way of living. Of course, we still have a long way to go, but we can believe that so long as we work side by side, our efforts today will make a great difference to the life of our future generations.
